Chapter 2177 Snowy Night, Sad Person
Zhao Shu said: "Rushuang, it's okay. Go back and have a good sleep."
He looked at her.
Leng Rushuang had no choice but to close the door and fasten it.
Weak as she is, she can only cry helplessly in front of such a man.
She watched his black cloak walk away through the crack in the door, and finally merged with Xue Ye.
She returned to the table, picked up the wine glass, and drank a swig of wine, choking and coughing.
At some point, there was another knock on the door.
She turned around and asked, "Who?"
"Come here to get a drink."
"Closing!"
"Boss Leng, I've walked around a lot, but your house is the only one with the lights still on. I'll just buy a bottle of wine and leave." The voice of the man outside the door sounded familiar inexplicably.
Leng Rushuang asked: "What's your name?"
"Xu Hu."
"Oh..." Leng Rushuang remembered that he was the commander of the royal guards in the palace, serving the emperor.
At that time, she went to the palace every day to diagnose and treat the emperor, and she often saw Xu Hu.
Since they were acquaintances, Leng Rushuang stood up and opened the door to let him in.
Xu Hu came in smelling a little drunk.
"You've already had a drink, and you still come to buy wine?" Leng Rushuang was surprised.
"The wine at home is finished." Xu Hu looked sad and took out a piece of silver and put it on the table.
Leng Rushuang smiled and said: "The Chinese New Year is almost here. If you don't accompany your wife and children, why don't you go out and drink."
Xu Hu showed a wry smile.
Leng Rushuang brought a jar of wine and handed it to him. Seeing that his expression was a little different, she asked casually: "What's the matter with General Xu? You have to be on duty by His Majesty's side, and you don't look like someone who likes to get drunk. "
Xu Hu's voice was low: "The child's mother has passed away, and the emperor has granted me ten days' leave to take care of the funeral arrangements."
Leng Rushuang was slightly startled and said quickly: "I'm sorry. Where are your children? You should go and stay with them. It's such a cold day, so don't drink."
Xu Hu waved his hand, "The two children have been sent to my father-in-law's house, and I have nothing else to do except drink."
Leng Rushuang nodded, not knowing what to say.
When Xu Hu drinks, he must be missing his deceased wife.
He picked up the wine and asked, "Are there any side dishes to go with the wine?"
Leng Rushuang glanced around, "There is no business at the end of the year, and no side dishes are prepared. I still have some meat here, or General Xu will just have a bite?"
"Would this be too intrusive?"
"It's okay, I'm drinking here alone. General Xu is here, let's talk."
"Then I'd rather be respectful than obey your orders." Xu Hu sat down with the wine jar in his arms.
Leng Rushuang smiled and said, "I'll warm the wine for you. Drinking it cold like this will make you feel uncomfortable."
Xu Hu said: "No need, it's fine just like this."
When he saw the barbecue on the table, he reached for a piece and threw it into his mouth. It was extremely spicy and delicious.
"A good drink," he said.
"Really?" Leng Rushuang smiled and raised her wine glass, "If it's not enough, there is still meat in the kitchen."
Xu Hu saw an extra pair of bowls and chopsticks on the table and asked, "Is there anyone else here?"
"No, just a friend. He has gone home."
Leng Rushuang felt depressed when she thought of the previous scene.
Xu Hu was also a sad person. The two of them were silent, each drinking his own drink. When one jar of wine was empty, another jar was brought in.
Drinking until late at night.
The meat is gone and the wine jar is empty.
"No, it's getting late. I should go back." Xu Hu stood up unsteadily, not forgetting to take out another piece of silver and put it down, "Let's go, let's go."
Leng Rushuang was lying beside the table. When she heard the word "go back" in confusion, she reached out and took his hand, muttering to herself: "...Don't leave."
Chapter ten is finished, good night.
