Chapter 49: Bridal Chamber God Assist
Lan Zhou asked Zhang Mu to go to the restaurant to buy some food, and then the three of them hid and propped up the crooked tables, chairs and benches, and used those that were broken as wood.
After cleaning up, Lan Zhou turned around and went back to the kitchen to get busy, while Xia Yanjing and Shengxia helped to clean up.
"Xia Xia, thank you for your help. I acted on my own just now." Seeing that there was no one around, Xia Yanjing walked up to Sheng Xia embarrassedly and said softly.
"He is your friend. There is no need to be so polite between us. Besides, I can't just stand by and watch them bully you." Shengxia didn't feel there was anything to apologize for.
"Xia Xia, you are so nice." Xia Yanjing moved closer to Sheng Xia and squeezed her with his body.
"Ahem." Zhang Mu's voice came from behind, obviously he saw what just happened.
"You came back just in time." Xia Yanjing sounded a little sad, but he wasn't embarrassed at all. Instead, Shengxia moved to the side uncomfortably.
"Haha, blame me, blame me." Zhang Mu felt a little guilty. It was he who disturbed the couple's intimacy.
"That's good to know." Xia Yanjing said with a snort.
Shengxia looked at the two people bickering and felt that Xia Yanjing was very lively. Being with him made him feel at home. Shengxia knew that Xia Yanjing had already taken root in his heart without him realizing it.
Zhang Mu stopped the bickering. He had to go to the kitchen to help his husband cook and comfort his Zhou Zhou at the same time.
"Zhou Zhou, were you scared today?" Zhang Mu hugged Lan Zhou's waist from behind and asked with concern.
"No, I'm not afraid as long as you protect me." Lan Zhou smiled gently.
"Of course, don't worry, I'm here." Zhang Mu felt a little inflated for a moment.
"Yes, yes, my husband is the best. Stop joking and get out the jar of wine that we treasure in our room to entertain the guests." Lan Zhou coaxed Zhang Mu away like coaxing a child.
Zhang Mu returned to the room and dug out a jar of wine from under the bed. While digging, he also dug out a small porcelain bottle. Zhang Mu was a little curious. He opened the bottle and smelled it. It had a very strong aroma of wine.
"It tastes the same as the treasured wine. It must be the small bottle of wine given by the store." Zhang Mu poured the small bottle of wine into the large jar of wine as a matter of course and moved it to the dining room.
What Zhang Mu didn't know was that the small porcelain bottle was not ordinary wine, but a top-grade aphrodisiac wine. Only a few drops of wine were needed to a glass of wine, and one would definitely be full of energy that night. Moreover, it would be ineffective if he solved it by himself, and it could only be used by the husband and wife.
Although the capacity of the porcelain bottle is not large, if half of it is poured out, it will be impossible for there to be no fierce fight tonight.
In the end, the four of them knew nothing about it, and Lan Zhou, the only one who knew the effect of the porcelain bottle, was unable to avoid it.
Not long after the food was served, Zhang Mu came in with some wine. "Try our collection of wine. It may not be as good as what you drink, but it definitely tastes good."
Zhang Mu enthusiastically promoted the product, pouring a glass in front of each person. Then Zhang Mu and Lan Zhou stood up, holding their glasses. "Thank you, brother Jing, and thank you, General Sheng, for your help. We, husband and wife, toast you a glass."
After Zhang Mu and Lan Zhou had a drink, Lan Zhou keenly noticed that the aphrodisiac wine he had secretly hidden was added to the wine, but because Xia Yanjing and Sheng Xia were there, Lan Zhou didn't say anything.
Thinking that they were a couple, drinking wouldn't have any effect, so Lan Zhou sat down to eat with peace of mind. Zhang Mu had been busy with business recently, and the two of them hadn't had a good time together at night for a long time. With this wine tonight, tonight will surely be a wonderful night.
Shengxia was not picky. She had tried all kinds of wine during her four years at the border. However, this wine was indeed mellow and good. So when Zhang Mu poured Shengxia a second glass, Shengxia did not refuse.
Xia Yanjing didn't drink much in modern times, so he couldn't tell whether the wine was good or bad, but it was indeed quite interesting to sit and drink together, so Xia Yanjing didn't refuse the second glass of wine.
Lan Zhou drank one glass and didn't refill it. He was going to tease Zhang Mu tonight for ignoring him for so long.
The four of them sat together, eating, drinking, and chatting. Shengxia and Xia Yanjing were the main drinkers. After they had finished four cups, Lan Zhou reminded them, "Stop drinking! It's hard to travel at night if you're drunk."
"It's okay, Zhou Zhou. Just sleep here when you get drunk. We have some empty rooms anyway." Zhang Mu said generously.
"What do you know? They are newlyweds." Before Lan Zhou finished speaking, Zhang Mu instantly understood what Lan Zhou meant.
"Yes, yes, drink less. If you get drunk, it will be difficult to travel at night." Zhang Mu secretly cursed himself for getting dumber and dumber. Why didn't he think of this?
Shengxia also understood what they meant. After hearing what they said, Shengxia did not feel disgusted. Instead, she was looking forward to their wedding night. However, Xia Yanjing might not dare to do it even if he had the courage.
Xia Yanjing understood but pretended not to. He did want to, but he hadn't gotten his wife yet, let alone the bridal chamber.
Before leaving, Shengxia gave Zhang Mu and Lan Zhou a jade pendant and told them that if Zhao Qiang came to trouble them again, they should take the jade pendant to find him at the general's mansion.
The meal was enjoyed by both the host and the guests. After Zhang Mu and Lan Zhou sent Sheng Xia and Xia Yanjing away, Zhang Mu took the initiative to clean up the dishes, while Lan Zhou took the opportunity to go outside the yard and blew a whistle.
The whistle sounded like a bird's chirping, and no one noticed anything unusual. Zhang Mu, who was washing dishes in the kitchen, was just curious why there were still birds awake so late.
A dark figure came before Lan Zhou, half-knelt on the ground, and said respectfully, "Master, what are your orders?"
"Kill those people who came to the store to cause trouble today, and kill that Zhao Qiang as well." Lan Zhou spoke in a normal tone, as if he was buying vegetables.
"Yes, master." The black shadow responded respectfully, and then disappeared into the darkness.
"Anyone who dares to bully me is simply seeking death." Lan Zhou's eyes were cold and full of murderous intent.
"Zhou Zhou, where are you?" Zhang Mu's voice came from a distance. Lan Zhou immediately hid his cold eyes and murderous intent, and returned to his usual gentle appearance.
"I'm here." Lan Zhou responded gently and went to find Zhang Mu. After half an incense stick of time, the medicine would probably take effect.
Xia Yanjing and Shengxia took a carriage back to the general's mansion. Hot water was already prepared in the mansion. Xia Yanjing took a quick shower and returned to his room early.
Shengxia had a fight and drank a lot of alcohol, so he prepared to take a bath to get rid of the smell of alcohol on his body.
While soaking in the bathtub, Shengxia felt something strange in his body. He thought it was because of drinking and not being able to relax for a long time, so he decided to take care of it with his hands.
