He should have gone over immediately, but Pei Duqin's feet seemed to be stuck, and he just stood there, unwilling to blink for a moment, for fear that if he missed a second, he would never be seen again.
Yan Mingzhu raised the bowl and took a big sip, the wine slowly flowing down her neck.
Suddenly, she raised her head and looked in one direction. The original wanton smile on her face suddenly faded, and the smile in her eyes became even duller.
"The prince's front legs have just been carried away, and Second Young Master Pei's rear legs have arrived very quickly. Why, are you here to avenge the prince?"
Ming Zizhan was having a good drink with Yan Mingzhu. Yan Mingzhu was the most cheerful woman he had ever seen, and she was the most cheerful woman to Xiao Sa. Moreover, she also had a good capacity for drinking. It was not too fast to talk to her while drinking.
As quickly as he chatted with Yan Mingzhu, Qi Jue was buried in his heart. If Qi Jue hadn't poached him first, if Yan Mingzhu could marry into the Ming family, their family would definitely be very lively.
It's a pity that his elder brother was unable to do anything and was beaten to the punch, so he could only sit here and drink away his sorrows.
I was thinking about Qi Jue when Pei Duqin came to my door. Isn't this just a walking punching bag?
Ming Zizhan immediately threw the wine jar aside, grabbed the scabbard on the side, and with a swipe sound, the long sword was unsheathed and pointed at Pei Duqin's lifeline.
"Pei, you still dare to come to the door. I just happen to be holding my breath and can't find a place to vent my anger. If you dare to take a step forward again, I will chop you up and feed it to the wild dogs in the back mountains!"
Pei Duqin finally came back to his senses, but ignored Ming Zizhan's threats and walked over. He looked at Yan Mingzhu deeply, "Are you injured? Since you are injured, you shouldn't drink.
It’s not good for your health.”
Why is this tone of voice filled with inexplicable tenderness and concern?
Ming Zizhan shook his head. He must have been drunk. The Pei family and Yan Mingzhu had a deep grudge. Pei Duqin wished that something would happen to Yan Mingzhu, so how could he be kind enough to care about Yan Mingzhu's safety?
"I'm talking to you, pretend not to hear, are you? Just stand there and don't move, I'm going to cut you into wood!"
Just as he was about to raise his sword and kill him, he was stopped by Yan Mingzhu: "Second Master Ming, if you sit and eat at a bar with fine wine and food in front of you, shouting about beating and killing, wouldn't it be a terrible sight?"
Ming Zizhan turned around in an instant and sat down on the right side of Yan Mingzhu. He held the sword in his arms, raised his chin slightly, and looked at Pei Duqin provocatively.
Anyway, with him here, even if Pei Duqin did take action, there would be no chance of hurting Miss Yan at all.
Yan Mingzhu took another bowl. This bowl was much simpler than the ones used in the mansions of dignitaries. It was a common pottery bowl that could be seen in the streets and alleys.
He picked up the wine jar, poured a full glass of wine into the earthenware bowl, and pushed it forward.
"Light snow is approaching, and the weather is getting colder. If Mr. Pei has such a leisurely and elegant mood, why not share a bowl to warm yourself up?"
Pei Duqin looked at the bowl pushed over and was stunned for a moment, as if he couldn't believe it, "You... invite me to drink?"
The other party's bewildered expression made Yan Mingzhu laugh, "Why, Second Master Pei is afraid that I will poison the wine and kill you? Since you cherish your life so much, then I will not waste the wine.
Already..."
Before she finished speaking, Pei Duqin sat down directly in front of her, picked up the pottery bowl, and drank all the wine in one gulp.
In fact, Pei Duqin didn't like drinking, and his ability to drink was not good. After one sip, he only felt his throat burning.
But when he put down the bowl and looked into a pair of clear eyes, he said the opposite: "Good wine."
"Of course it's a good wine. This is the peach blossom wine that Mr. Ming spent a lot of money to buy at Jixianglou. We both drank it and it wasn't enough. I gave you a bowl. You should feel honored."
Yan Mingzhu seemed to say this casually, but after hearing it, Pei Duqin felt excited. She was willing to give him her favorite wine. Does this mean that he also has a certain place in her heart?
?
"If you like to drink this peach blossom wine, I can have people buy all the peach blossom wine in Jixiang Building. However, you are still injured, so it is better to drink less."
These words of inexplicable concern sounded strange, and Yan Mingzhu couldn't help but look at him strangely.
And Ming Zizhan was already pounding the table unhappily, "Do you think my Ming family has no money and can't afford a small jar of peach blossom wine? If Miss Yan wants to drink it, let alone peach blossom wine, it will be heavenly.
I can also get some of your agar-agar jade brew, why do you need to show your courtesy here and be an eyesore?"
When Qi Jue came to poach someone, Ming Zizhan was already holding his breath, and looking at the tone of Pei Duqin's words, there was an inexplicable sense of attentiveness, so Ming Zizhan would not be polite.
Yan Mingzhu smiled and filled the bowl again, "Second Young Master Pei is so kind, so I'm waiting for your peach blossom stuffing. It's rare that I'm in the right mood today, and I don't know what to do after eating this meal.
Is there any next meal, but as the saying goes, in life, enjoy yourself in the moment. If you have wine today, you will get drunk today. If you don’t drink to the fullest today, no one is allowed to leave."
"Miss Yan, please don't say frustrating words. Don't worry, with me and my eldest brother here, we will never let the bad guys have the opportunity to harm you!"
When he mentioned the villain, Ming Zizhan emphasized it emphatically and at the same time, he did not forget to glare at Pei Duqin.
But Pei Duqin didn't seem to notice, he just picked up the bowl again, raised his head and drank it all in one gulp.
Just at this time, Ming Xingjian solved the group of guards and hurried to Tianlao, only to find Yan Mingzhu having a drink with Pei Duqin.
He was anxious and was about to say something when he saw Yan Mingzhu looking at him and shaking her head gently towards him.
Although Ming Xingjian didn't know what Yan Mingzhu was going to do, he stopped at the same time and just stood not far away and watched. No matter what Yan Mingzhu wanted to do, he believed in all her decisions.
This is a kind of unconditional trust that seems to come from the depths of blood.
"Second Young Master Pei is really a good drinker. I just like drinking with such a refreshing person like you!"
Saying that, Yan Mingzhu poured another full bowl.
Pei Duqin once again did not hesitate. He picked up the bowl and drank it all in one gulp. Then he suddenly whispered: "I won't let anything happen to you."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a thud, and at the same time the bowl fell to the ground, Pei Duqin's forehead hit the wooden table, motionless.
Ming Zizhan leaned out half of his body, stretched out his hand and poked Pei Duqin's head to the side.
"Drunk? This grandson is not pretending to be drunk, is he? Pei Duqin? Pei dog? You are not a human, you are a pig, no, no, no, you are worse than a pig or a dog. You are the biggest scum in the entire imperial capital. Hey, you are not even jumping up.
, are you really drunk?"
After confirming that Pei Duqin was really drunk, Ming Zizhan was so happy that he raised his hand and slapped him hard on the back of the head, "This grandson has a really bad ability to drink, but if his brain is going crazy, we let him drink and he will
Drink, could it be that he came here not to vent his anger on the prince, but just to drink?"
"No matter what he came for, since he was caught in a net, I tied him up and I want to ask some questions."
