Chapter 339
Hong Xiaochen stretched out his palm with a distressed look on his face, trying to catch the wine spilling from the spout. However, he took one step at night and the wine dripped onto the table.
"Ah! What a waste! What a waste! The wine has been fermented for several years, but no one has been able to drink it. It must have died with its eyes closed!"
Hong Xiaochen looked at the wine drops on the table and smelled the strong aroma of wine in the air. He couldn't help but stretch his neck forward and move closer to that place, with the tip of his tongue half exposed...
"Oh, forget it, nine out of ten people in this world are unhappy, so it's better to be more open-minded. It's always a bit bad to be seen coughing by someone who is an important member of the city lord's palace, and actually licking the table..."
Hong Xiaochen thought for a while, but still sighed. Unable to make up his mind, he had to sit back and still sighed.
"Hahaha, it's my younger brother's fault. Please make amends to your elder brother."
Hei Muguang cheerfully placed the wine glasses in front of himself and Hong Xiaochen, and reached out to grab the wine bottle: "In order to express my apology to the elder brother, I will punish myself with two glasses first, and give the elder brother a bad... …Um?"
The smile on Hei Muguang's face froze, and he looked at Hong Xiaochen who reached out to take the wine bottle into his arms, and his outstretched hand hovered in the air.
"slow!"
Hong Xiaochen's slumped look disappeared instantly. He looked at Hei Muguang with a smile on his face and spoke leisurely.
"Mo Guang, this is an old wine that my eldest brother has collected for many years. It was in front of you that I reluctantly took it out, thinking that we two brothers would have a good drink.
But you have to drink two drinks before your elder brother has a taste. Isn't it a bit unkind? "
"Haha, look at what you said, brother. Isn't this my apology to you? Why don't you say drink first and then drink?"
Hei Muguang was stunned for a moment, and then put on a sincere smile.
"My little brother just behaved inappropriately and accidentally spilled the wine. He will certainly be punished. I don't think there is anything wrong with it, right?"
"Eh, no, no, no, this water is clear and there are no fish. If it is full, it will be lost. This is the law of nature. If you can't force it, I will lend the breeze a few wisps of wine, and you can drink with the sky!"
Hong Xiaochen smiled boldly, picked up the wine bottle, and was about to pour it into his own glass.
"On the contrary, Brother Yu made a mistake and shocked Brother Xian. He deserves to be punished, he deserves to be punished, hahahaha!"
"slow!"
When Hei Muguang saw that Hong Xiaochen not only neutralized his own move, but also counterattacked an army, he quickly stretched out his hand to block Hong Xiaochen's arm, preventing the opponent's next move.
"Um?"
Hong Xiaochen's smile froze, and she raised her face to look at Hei Muguang: "Xiandi?"
"Brother!"
Hei Muguang smiled slightly: "My little brother also has some aged wine hidden in his house."
"oh?"
Hong Xiaochen's eyelids twitched slightly and she also smiled.
"Really?"
"Of course it's true."
Hei Muguang and Hong Xiaochen looked at each other.
Hei Muguang: "..."
Hong Xiaochen: "..."
"Hahahahaha!"*2
Suddenly the two of them burst out laughing together, their hands loosening slightly.
"Brother Xian, hurry up and have a drink with Brother Fool!"
"It is better to obey orders than to be respectful!"
"Hahahahaha!"*2
"Do it!"*2
"..."
After three rounds of drinking.
"No, as expected, aged wine!"
Hei Muguang's face was slightly drunk, he gave a thumbs up and said sincerely: "Brother, be tough!"
"Hahaha, of course, can I, Hong Xiaochen, fool my brothers with fakes?!"
Hong Xiaochen refilled his cup and happily took off the storage bag from his waist.
"To put it bluntly, no matter how naughty my daughter is, she is still her father's caring little cotton-padded jacket.
Look, this little bag Xiaoli gave me can hold several bottles of fine wine! It has greatly facilitated our brothers’ illegal activities behind our backs. I mean, it has greatly facilitated our brothers’ relationship. It’s really good, hahahaha! "
(Hongli:???)
"Ha, my little brother also has this little bag. My Xiaoyang has also been a filial child since he was a child!"
Hei Muguang Yile took off the storage bag from his waist and placed it on the table, and said proudly: "Not only is my daughter a caring little cotton-padded jacket, but my son is also his father's... uh... his father's caring big pants! Ha ha ha ha!"
(Hei Yang:???)
"Um, is there a possibility that the children didn't give us this to hold wine?"
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
"Hahaha, I think so!"
“For the filial piety of our children, let’s have a few more drinks!”
"Hahaha, that's exactly how it should be, do it!"
"..."
After three rounds of drinking, the two buddies were already red in the face, but they still had enough alcohol to keep them awake.
"Speaking of which, brother..."
Hong Xiaochen looked around, seeing pavilions, stone chairs and tables, the lake was twinkling, the mountains were lined up, and the white clouds were misty.
"You said we secretly came to the pavilion in the middle of the lake to drink and have fun on the pretext of organizing a happy event for our children. We won't be discovered by our wife, right?"
"Ah, ahem..."
Hei Muguang's eyes were blank, and he looked around with a guilty conscience, until he didn't find Qing Yiyi around, then he leaned forward and whispered: "You have to have confidence, haven't we stepped on the spot several times?
This month, the ice on the lake is about to melt at the Pavilion in the Heart of the Lake, and children and young people are restrained by their families from getting close to it.
Coupled with the cold wind, not to mention the elderly, even the young may not be able to bear it.
No, I saw it a few days ago. Even the ghosts in this desolate place in the middle of the lake are unwilling to come..."
"Ahem!"
Hong Xiaochen coughed and interrupted Hei Muguang: "Well, Brother Xian is right. I think I understand what you mean. There is no need to say that you are unwilling to come. After all... ha, isn't this still... There are two of us!"
"Hey, sorry for the slip of the tongue."
Hei Muguang chuckled, then showed a sad expression: "What I'm thinking about now is not whether I will be discovered while drinking, but how to hide it when I go back!"
"Um?"
Hong Xiaochen raised his brows: "Heaven knows and earth knows that you know and I know, how can it be revealed?"
"Oh, is there any wall in the world that is airtight?"
Hei Muguang waved his hand and said with a frustrated look: "We have been husband and wife for nearly twenty years. If nothing else, they can tell something is wrong as long as our eyes are slightly wrong.
Not to mention holding my wife in my arms while sleeping in the middle of the night. If someone smells alcohol all over her body, she will be kicked out of bed..."
"??!"
Hong Xiaochen stared, and couldn't help blurting out: "How can this work? Then my second child plan...
Well, I didn't say anything just now, and you didn't hear anything, Mu Guang. "
"..."
The muscles on Hei Muguang's face twitched, but finally he thought that business was more important, and nodded expressionlessly: "Oh."
"???"
Hong Xiaochen's mouth twitched: "Oh? You just said: Oh?"
"if not?"
Hei Muguang frowned.
"You won't..."
Hong Xiaochen pointed to the sky with a smile: "Swear a poisonous oath or something, for example, if you hear it, you will be struck by thunder and lightning?"
"Brother Xiaochen, do you believe that I will go home to them with the wine bottle now?"
Hei Muguang said quietly: "How about the two of us die together?"
"..."
Hong Xiaochen stiffened, and the image of himself and Hei Muguang lying in a pool of blood suddenly appeared in his mind, and he couldn't help but shudder.
"Ahem, haha, of course, of course, business is important, business is important!"
Hong Xiaochen quickly forced a smile and said: "Let's continue discussing how to hide this matter!"
"This is right!"
Hei Muguang showed a relieved smile. To be honest, he was more panicked than his elder brother Hong Xiaochen. His sister-in-law Lan Yuying was a real lady. Before marrying Hong Xiaochen, she had never seen someone kill a chicken.
At most, after getting married, Hong Xiaochen taught his wife a few tricks, but that was it, she was still a fair lady at heart.
But his Yiyi, haha, that’s the girl who picked up a knife and chased the wolf to kill her at twelve or thirteen...
"Smells of alcohol... smells of alcohol... what should I do?"
Hong Xiaochen tapped his fingers on the stone table with a depressed look on his face, while continuing to drink. The more worried he became, the more he wanted to drink, and the more he drank, the more sad he felt.
"Hey! Got it!"
Hong Xiaochen's eyes suddenly lit up and he finished his drink in one gulp. Seeing Hei Muguang looking over with confusion, he proudly pointed to the surrounding lakes and said with a smile: "After you finish drinking, you and I will go first." If you don’t go home, just take a dip in this lake to keep the alcohol away, hahaha!”
"???"
Hei Muguangxian glanced at the lake where ice debris was still floating, and a bunch of question marks popped up on his head.
No... Although they are indeed strong and have recently begun to practice the exercises brought by their children, he is not used to winter swimming!
"that……"
Hei Muguang said with a complicated expression: "Can't we find a bathhouse or something...?"
"Your bathhouse is open in the first month of the year!"
"Well, after fifteen, it will probably open?"
The corners of Hei Muguang's mouth twitched and he shook his head. There were so many people and so many eyes, which made it even more obvious. There was no three hundred taels of silver here, so it was self-inflicted.
"etc……"
Hei Muguang's eyes suddenly lit up, and he pushed the table away, attracting Hong Xiaochen's confused gaze: "What's wrong?"
"Yes!"
"Your plan for a second child has been successful?!"
"Brother Xiaochen... let's die together."
"Ah, ahem, dear brother, please tell me!"
"Hmph, listen up."
Hei Muguang cleared his throat, stretched out a finger, and said leisurely: "Since it's difficult to pretend, let's just stop pretending and go home after drinking!"
"???"
Hong Xiaochen had a question mark on his face and a look of horror on his face: "Is your life in danger?"
"Look what you said."
Hei Muguang rolled his eyes and continued: "As the saying goes, the most difficult lie to detect is the half-truth. We only need to..."
"Well, now, Brother Xiaochen, you remember!"
Hei Muguang looked directly into Hong Xiaochen's confused eyes and said word by word: "After we left home, we immediately contacted helpers, contacted people, and arranged for the marriage of our children.
