Chapter 301 Suddenly heard the sound of wind and rain
Qin Liang and his eldest brother are brothers with the same parents, but their physiques are quite different. The eldest brother is a very good drinker. His elder brother Asu is no less generous. The two of them have drank at least several liters of wine.
When Asu is normal, his words and deeds are relatively cautious and kind, but after drinking, things are different and he seems to talk a bit too much. He seems to have been trying to build a relationship between the Jinxiang princess family and the Qin Liang brothers.
In fact, Qin Liang had already figured out the pros and cons, and followed his clan brother's words: "Let the past be bygones."
Asu shook his head and said happily: "After all, Zhong Ming is the elder, Boyun has to call you uncle." After saying this, he looked at He Jun.
He Jun's face flushed, but he remained silent.
Qin Liang just smiled. He didn't care much about He Jun. After all, the He family has neither value nor much threat now.
Having known He Jun for so many years, Qin Liang understands his temperament. He Jun is sometimes very irritable, gets angry easily, and explodes at the slightest moment, but when facing a powerful enemy, he is a coward!
For example, Sima Yi and Sima Master and his son, for He Jun, are not only revenge for killing their father, but also a humiliation. He Jun has not been seen hating Sima Yi before, and there are signs of revenge. Now that Sima Master is still alive, He Jun has not heard any inquiries. Learn about the whereabouts of Master Sima.
Qin Liang doesn't want to take revenge on such a person, he just wants to find an opportunity to vent his anger.
Today Qin Liang did not ridicule He Jun, and his words were considered polite. He probably just looked at the face of his clan brother Asu, the host of the banquet.
In addition, he also gave Princess Jinxiang some favor. Qin Liang had a good impression of Princess Jinxiang, and she was a member of the clan. Last time Ji Kang was willing to attend a banquet at General Wei's Mansion, it was probably because of Princess Jinxiang's relationship.
Asu glanced at He Jun and said earnestly: "My uncle, like you, didn't hold an official position for many years and just traveled around. I can't figure out the many grievances and will be laughed at. In the past, I was afraid of being mentioned by others. Things at home are now considered open to the public. It’s not easy for many people, and your grandma (Mrs. Du) had an even rough life..."
"Brother." Princess Jinxiang suddenly stopped Asu and glanced at him, "Brother, you drank too much. Why are you bringing up the past?"
Asu then waved his hand and said: "Don't say it, don't say it anymore."
Not only was Mrs. Du fought over by Guan Yu and Cao Cao, but after Emperor Wen Cao Pi came to power, it is said that he also asked Mrs. Du to sleep with him because she was so beautiful that Emperor Wen didn't even care about her seniority. Those things were all family scandals, Ah Su only mentioned it after drinking.
Asu may have let go of the past, but Princess Jinxiang probably has not completely let go. No wonder that as a princess, she has always been reclusive and attached great importance to reputation. It is probably because of her mother's affairs that had an impact on her.
Qin Liang couldn't help but take a second look at Princess Jinxiang. Maybe because of the hot weather and drinking, she looked very hot. There were beads of sweat on her smooth forehead. From time to time, she used a handkerchief to gently dip the sweat in her hairline. The skin is white and rosy, with a flushed color due to the heat.
Her appearance at this time reminded Qin Liang of the woman's appearance on certain occasions. For a moment, he looked at the intersection of Princess Jinxiang's snow-white skin and black hair, as well as her slightly thick and smooth lips. The image before his eyes made Qin Liang feel a little distracted.
Princess Jinxiang also noticed Qin Liang's eyes, but she immediately avoided her eyes with a nonchalant expression.
The sun outside the door was a little overcast, and there was no wind. The weather was indeed sultry, but no one else was as sweaty as Princess Jinxiang. Qin Liang's eyes swept across the bulging skirt of Princess Jinxiang's red dress, and he knew immediately Got the reason.
Because the lining of Princess Jinxiang’s blouse should be very thick to avoid being exposed. On such a hot day, everyone can bear to wear a light and breathable robe, but if you wear a thick cloth underneath, won’t you sweat?
The last time Qin Liang saw Princess Jinxiang, he hugged her. The touching feeling at that time is still very clear in his mind. But nothing happened, so it shouldn't be so obvious. Princess Jinxiang was too cautious.
At this moment, Princess Jinxiang stood up and said, "I'm a little dizzy and want to find a place to rest."
Asu said: "I just moved to Luoyang, Xuanliang hasn't come back yet, and there are few servants and maids in the house. I can do whatever I want."
After Princess Jinxiang left, Qin Liang actually felt that the banquet was not that interesting anymore. Or maybe it was just a chemical reaction.
Of course, Qin Liang didn't show it and continued to drink with his elder brother Asu. Qin Liang drank less, mainly because his eldest brother was a good drinker.
A few people had a drink together. Asu picked up the wine bottle and immediately realized that there was no more wine. He stood up unsteadily and said, "Wait for me for a moment."
After waiting for a while, Asu came back with an earthen jar in one hand. He put the wine jar on the ground and said with a smile: "This is the wine I hid in my house when Emperor Ming was still here. It has been there for seven or eight years." "
The eldest brother agreed: "The wine will taste better after a few years."
Asu immersed himself in untying the rope and oilcloth tied to the wine jar. He saw that the mouth of the wine jar was quite small, probably for better sealing. There was also a thick wooden plug stuck in the mouth. It was wrapped in cloth, which separated the wine in the wine jar from the wood. Asu pulled out the stopper with great effort, and saw that the cloth was wet with wine, so he picked it up and put it in front of his nose, smelled it, and raised his head Said: "It really smells good."
Asu came over holding the wine jar, first filled Qin Liang's wine jug, and then poured wine into his elder brother Qin Sheng's wine jug. The eldest brother immediately held the wine jug and smelled it vigorously.
Mrs. Zhang muttered: "Seeing the good wine, I almost forgot my last name."
Asu smiled and said, "Except for my nephew and you women, aren't everyone here surnamed Qin?"
At this time, regardless of whether it is made from grapes or grain, the alcohol content should be higher than beer, but it is not distilled wine after all and has a lot of water. Qin Liang drank a few more glasses and then got up to go to the toilet.
As soon as he walked to the toilet, a clear and clear sound of "ding-ding-ding-ding-ding" suddenly came from above his head. When he came out from the toilet, the raindrops had already gathered momentum, and it began to rain heavily.
Sure enough, the sultry weather may be a precursor to heavy rain. There was no wind not long ago, but when the rain came, the wind also blew in the courtyard, and the white rain curtain tilted and flew in the wind.
Under the wind and rain, Qin Liang stood for a moment, only to feel that the weather suddenly became much cooler. He walked along the long corridor to the west of the house under the eaves, but continued to the north, from here to the banquet hall. There is a section of brick road in between, with no obstruction above your head. It rained so heavily that you would have to get soaked while walking through it in the rain.
Qin Liang then stood under the eaves.
At this moment, Princess Jinxiang leaned out from the door of a wing to take a look. Qin Liang noticed the red shadow and looked sideways.
Princess Jinxiang was startled for a moment and could only say: "Zhongming, please come in and wait for a while."
Qin Liang nodded and walked towards the door. He noticed the outline of Princess Jinxiang's skirt and immediately realized that it might have been too hot just now. Princess Jinxiang had taken off the thick lining inside, and she also Pulling the collar apart a little, the smooth white skin under the collarbone can be seen.
Princess Jinxiang glanced at him, immediately grabbed her collar with both hands, adjusted it slightly, and covered herself tightly. However, the summer silk robe was light and soft, and could only cover the color of her skin. She lowered her head After taking a look, he raised the wide sleeve of his right hand and gently held it in front of him.
At this time, Princess Jinxiang took a step back, and then hurriedly tried to close the door, but immediately gave up the plan and stood at the door. Qin Liang had to turn his back to her.
"I..." The two of them almost said one word at the same time, and immediately stopped, waiting for the other to say first.
Qin Liang took a deep breath, trying to calm down a little.
Princess Jinxiang's voice said from behind: "I didn't mean to seduce Zhong Ming... It wasn't the same last time."
Qin Liang said: "I know that if it hadn't suddenly rained heavily, I would not have entered the house to disturb His Highness."
Princess Jinxiang walked to the wall behind the door and said, "Don't stand at the door. If someone passes by here, do you want to greet him?"
Qin Liang then turned around and hid by the wall behind the door. The two were very close and stood face to face. Qin Liang could already smell the faint smell of Princess Jinxiang's body, and the smell of sweat was mixed with the scent of spices.
But this time it was okay, it was just that the situation was a bit embarrassing, and it was not suspected of coercing Princess Jinxiang like last time. Qin Liang still wanted to have a good relationship with the clan.
Qin Liang then said kindly: "I didn't mean to do this. After the princess left the banquet just now, I felt quite disappointed. In fact, what I am looking forward to most when I come to the banquet today is to be able to see the princess."
Princess Jinxiang immediately raised her head and looked directly at him, her expression a little moved. Then she lowered her eyes again and whispered, "I am already this age, what are Zhong Ming still thinking about?"
Qin Liang said: "The princess is not very old."
Princess Jinxiang said: "He Jun is your classmate at Imperial College."
Qin Liang whispered: "So what, we didn't do anything." As he spoke, he tentatively held Princess Jinxiang's hand.
She did not resist immediately, and after a moment she gently broke away from Qin Liang's hand. Qin Liang pondered her reaction, then further extended his hand to Princess Jinxiang's lower back and said, "Just a hug."
Princess Jinxiang still wanted to escape, but her back was already pressed against the wall. There was no place to hide, so she could only be hugged tightly by Qin Liang. She showed no signs of resistance. After all, it was not the first time she was hugged by Qin Liang. She passed. After a while, her patient nasal noise suddenly stopped, then she pushed Qin Liang away, stood on her toes again, and said with a trembling voice: "No! I'm still in the mourning period, and our relationship is not right either. I don’t want to do this…if someone sees me, that’s it!”
She then took a long breath and said, "I'm going to change my clothes first." She probably wanted to put on the lining that she had taken off before, so she turned around and left in a hurry. Seeing this, Qin Liang couldn't force her anymore.
The wooden door of the wing was still open. The heavy rain outside had not stopped, and the crashing noise filled the entire wing without any obstruction.
