"What!"
Xue Ping almost jumped up. He couldn't believe the news Xiaolian brought. Someone had already proposed marriage to the Jiang family!
"I don't believe that Mu Yun can't get married, no!"
"It's true, Brother Xue. I even went to inquire about it. Second Master Wei does have that intention. Our master seems to be very happy too."
‘Pah——’
He swept all the dishes and chopsticks on the table to the floor. He didn't want to accept this reality. Why, why did God want to separate people who love each other? Why was he so poor that he couldn't even keep the one he loved most?
"But, Brother Xue, don't worry. I think the young lady doesn't want to marry Mr. Wei."
Xiaolian's comfort did not comfort the sad person at all.
"What's the use? What's the use? The words of the matchmaker, the orders of the parents, even if Mu Yun doesn't want to marry, what can it do!"
After Xue Ping vented his anger, he shouted so loudly that Xiaolian's eyes turned red immediately, "Brother Xue, don't be like this. Let's work together and things will definitely turn around!"
"What else can I do? Tell me what else I can do. I hate it so much!"
"Brother Xue, don't do this."
Xiaolian was about to cry. Xue Ping was so angry that she ran out. The speed was too fast for her to catch up. Ge Da and Ge Qing even chased her. They searched all over but couldn't find her.
Fearing that something might happen, he hurried back home to report to Jiang Muyun.
"You said Xue Lang is missing?"
"Yes, Miss. After Brother Xue heard about Mr. Wei, he was so sad that he ran out. My servant and Ge Da searched many places but couldn't find anyone. Please save him quickly! Miss, please.
!”
She was crying while talking, out of breath. Jiang Muyun almost fainted again when she was so excited. Fortunately, Biyun helped her in time.
"Go quickly, if you don't want to go look for it quickly, Xiaolian, ask the coachman to bring a few people with you to look for him!"
"Yes, Miss!" Xiaolian took the order and immediately went to the outer courtyard to find someone.
As for Jiang Muyun, who was almost dying of anxiety, the moment she walked out, a boy came into the house from the side door.
"Have you found anyone?"
"We've found it over at Xiaolinzi, and we're just wandering around West Street."
"If he forces his way into the prime minister's house, I admire his courage." Jiang Muyun was a little disdainful, "Go, buy him a drink, get him drunk and let Xiaolian find him."
After finishing speaking, Biyun handed him a small yellow paper bag.
"This..." The boy didn't dare to answer it, for fear that it would be something that could kill someone.
"When a man and a woman are happy, sometimes there is no need to be emotional. Doesn't he claim to be deeply in love? This medicine is not important. It's up to him how to do it."
"Yes, I understand, little one."
Xiaolian and a few servants were hunting for her brother, and they had almost turned over all the places nearby, but there was no trace of him.
The sky was getting darker and darker, and some people had already started lighting lamps. Xiaolian's heart sank, and sparks started to appear on her lips.
"Sister Xiaolian, sister Xiaolian!"
Unexpectedly, I met Grandma Liu’s nephew, Qiu Kangan, at the corner of the alley.
"I heard that there was a drunk man in a restaurant on East Street who got drunk after eating. He was also dressed in rags. I wonder if he is the person you are looking for!"
When Xiaolian heard this, she probably thought it was Xue Ping. She never expected that he was right under her nose. She should have thought of it. She didn't have time to blame herself for being stupid and anxiously asked Qiu Kang'an to take her to find him.
It was a small shop with three or four tables inside. There were no customers at all. Only Xue Ping continued to drink one cup after another, shaking his head. There were a bunch of wine bottles on the table and on the floor.
The boss looked sad. When he learned that Xiaolian and the others were here to see the drunkard, he suddenly smiled and handed the bill to Xiaolian without saying a word.
"Girl, this customer drank two taels of wine in our store. Please pay the bill."
Twenty taels of wine, how much did you drink? Xiaolian, a big maid, only had one tael a month ago. At this moment, she didn't think about anything else at all. She only felt heartbroken, and felt bad that he was ruining her.
body.
I asked the servants around me to collect some money and gave it to the shopkeeper. When I was about to help someone, I realized that Xue Ping was already very drunk. He was tall and strong, so it would be difficult for these boys to carry him
They are all struggling.
"How about we move this guest to the wing upstairs first? He has eaten so much wine, so just treat him as a stay for one night. It's dark outside, so I'm afraid it's hard to leave. What if we bump into each other?
Then the gains outweigh the losses.”
The kind-hearted boss asked Xiao Lian to thank her profusely, and several people helped Xue Ping and followed the waiter upstairs to the wing.
Several people helped her to the bed and she was sweating from exhaustion. Xiaolian breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank you very much for today. I will return the money to you when I get back."
"Sister Xiaolian, don't be so polite. Just find someone. Seeing how drunk your brother is, I'm afraid he won't be able to stay away from someone tonight, and it will be a struggle."
Qiu Kang'an was talking behind the crowd, and everyone agreed, "Yes." Xiaolian looked at Xue Ping, who was very drunk, and felt troubled, with a very hesitant look on her face.
"How about this? I'll go talk to the lady and give you a job. You can take good care of your brothers tonight."
"Thank you then, Kang An!"
With a look of success, Qiu Kang'an and the group of people left in a hurry. The room instantly became empty. A man and a woman were alone in the same room. Xiaolian was still a little shy.
The smell of alcohol exhaled by Xue Ping seemed to burn her.
‘Dong dong dong——’
A knock on the door at the right time pulled Xiaolian out of this ambiguous atmosphere.
It turned out that the child had brought some hot water and a pot of sobering tea.
"Guest, this is the sobering tea given to you. It is used to relieve hangover. You will feel better after drinking it."
"Thank you!"
I took off Xue Ping's shoes and socks, unbuttoned some of his clothes, and wiped him with a warm handkerchief, hoping to make him feel better, but the effect was minimal.
Xiaolian brought another alcohol-free tea and filled him half a pot of it.
After a while, the turbid person reacted and vomited all over the place. This made Xiaolian feel bad again. She had to rinse his mouth and clean him again. His clothes were all stained.
Help him take it off.
But she didn't notice that the man who was still unconscious opened a pair of red eyes and stared straight at her.
"Ah!" Xiaolian was about to stand up to put the handkerchief on, but her hand by her side was grabbed by someone. She exclaimed and met a pair of red eyes, "Brother Xue Xue Xue, are you awake? Are you feeling well?"
?”
"You, finally, came to see me! I feel bad!"
"Brother Xue, what's wrong with you? Let me help you!"
