As the Chief Steward of Bo Province, Zhao Xin, who held a high position in the Yang Mansion, naturally had his own place in the Yang Mansion. The entire Yang Mansion's second courtyard, the West Stride Courtyard, belonged to him, and was currently occupied by his son, Zhao Wenyuan.
For the sake of convenience, Zhao Xin opened a separate door on the outer wall of the West Stride Courtyard, forming a mansion within a mansion.
Zhao Wenyuan brought Ye Xiaotian back to their residence through this door. Because they didn't go through the main entrance, and because Ye Xiaotian wasn't familiar with the residences of the rich and powerful families in Guiyang City, he didn't know that this was Yang Yinglong's residence, and Zhao Wenyuan naturally wouldn't point this out to him.
Ye Xiaotian only thought that this was Zhao Wenyuan's rented place, and he wanted to go back as soon as he knew where it was. Zhao Wenyuan wasn't willing to let him go, and insisted on keeping him for a drink.
Ye Xiaotian couldn't refuse, and considering that this trip to Hulu County was different from the last time, he was going to become an official for real. Whether or not he could go far in his career, he had to take into account all the connections he had. Although he already had a certain foundation in Hulu County, he still had to go against his superior. The more friends he had, the better. Therefore, he readily agreed to this invitation that could improve their friendship.
Zhao Wenyuan ordered the kitchen to prepare a sumptuous banquet, and the two of them sat facing each other and drank. As they chatted, it was inevitable that they would talk about each other's origins. Zhao Wenyuan only said that he was from Bo Province, and didn't say much about his background. Ye Xiaotian was also very vigilant. After all, they hadn't known each other for long, so it wasn't appropriate for him to reveal too much.
According to the rules set since the founding of the Great Ming Dynasty, the descendants of bailiffs were not allowed to become officials within three generations of their ancestors. Although many rules had been broken in the Great Ming Dynasty, it would still be troublesome if someone used it to cause trouble. Therefore, he introduced himself as the birthplace of the Myriad Mountains Bureau.
Zhao Wenyuan's alcohol tolerance was excellent, and coupled with his eloquence, it was impossible for him to refuse when he urged Ye Xiaotian to drink more. Ye Xiaotian also had the intention to make friends with Zhao Wenyuan so that he would have an ally after taking office in Hulu County, so he was very straightforward.
They drank yellow wine. At first, it was soft and soft, so it didn't seem strong. However, after two hours, Ye Xiaotian's head felt heavy, and his tongue became stiff when he spoke.
Seeing this, Zhao Wenyuan politely urged Ye Xiaotian to stay, and wanted to arrange a guest room. Ye Family would be worried if he went back too late, so he refused. Zhao Wenyuan didn't urge him to stay, so he arranged a carriage to send him away.
It was early evening, and the sky was not too dark yet. Ye Xiaotian had taken a look at the route before he came, and Zhao Wenyuan's place was not far from his rented apartment. He wanted to walk back and familiarize himself with the route, so he politely declined Zhao Wenyuan's good intentions.
Zhao Wenyuan sent Ye Xiaotian off, and on his way back, his footsteps were light. Tonight, they drank yellow wine. This wine was different from Shaojiu. Shaojiu was like fire in the beginning, and the alcohol was strong. Yellow wine, on the other hand, had a strong aftereffect. Once the wind blew, the alcohol would be stronger than Shaojiu.
Zhao Wenyuan walked a few steps, and suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he stopped.
On the window of the master bedroom, a beautiful figure appeared. It was Qian Qingqing. Looking at her movements, she seemed to be dressing in front of the mirror. Her alluring figure reflected a very attractive curve in the window.
Zhao Wenyuan remembered that this was a woman given to him by the Chieftain. Thinking of her beautiful face and alluring figure, he felt as if he had put a furnace in his stomach. It was so hot that he could no longer suppress his instinctive desire.
Zhao Wenyuan immediately walked towards Qian Qingqing's bedroom. When he opened the door, he saw an extremely luxurious bedroom. There were six painted screens, golden partridges, overlapping small mountains, and bright flowers in the dark. Inside, there was a large carved mahogany bed, and there was a dressing table beside it. On the stool, there was a woman wearing a translucent cicada gauze nightgown. Her hips were protruding, and she was almost half naked, looking very mysterious and beautiful. When Zhao Wenyuan saw this, he could not help but feel his blood boil, and his mouth became dry.
Qian Qingqing was in the middle of removing her makeup in front of the mirror. Her hair bun had already been untied, and her beautiful hair draped over her shoulders like a cloud. In the mirror was a pretty and pleasant face, fresh and beautiful like a blooming flower. Seeing Zhao Wenyuan enter, Qian Qingqing gently placed the ivory comb on the dressing table and gracefully stood up.
When she stood up, her enchanting figure was completely revealed. When Zhao Wenyuan saw her enchanting figure, beautiful smile, and smelled the faint fragrance on her body, he found it hard to restrain himself. He covered his face with wine, and said with a smile, "Wife, it's already late, let's sleep!"
As he said this, Zhao Wenyuan opened his arms and pounced towards Qian Qingqing. Qian Qingqing was like a nimble deer, and dodged to the side, causing Zhao Wenyuan to pounce on empty air. Zhao Wenyuan was startled, and said with slight anger, "Miss Qian, you were bestowed to me by the Chieftain!"
Qian Qingqing's eyes flashed slightly, and it seemed that Zhao Wenyuan's words had an effect, and she stood still. Zhao Wenyuan chuckled, opened his arms, and pounced again, embracing her. Qian Qingqing allowed him to hug her soft and fragrant body, and said in a low voice, "Young Master Zhao, are you really willing to treat me as your wife?"
Zhao Wenyuan secretly sneered, "I am a 'E' (noble), and you are at most a 'Po Zhi' (slave), how can you be worthy of me? My father has already arranged a marriage between me and the daughter of Bu Mo (the clan's great shaman). A woman like you is just a toy. "
Zhao Wenyuan thought this in his heart, but he said, "Since the Chieftain bestowed you to me, of course you are my woman. Wife, aren't you going to serve your husband on the bed to rest?"
Qian Qingqing giggled, opened her soft arms, and hugged him. Her breath smelled like orchids, and her voice was as soft as silk, "Then... If I were to follow you, will you treat me well?" As she said this, her hand had already gently slid down, and suddenly grabbed Zhao Wenyuan's lower body.
Zhao Wenyuan's body trembled. He was already burning with lust, and with Qian Qingqing's seductive appearance, he was deliberately aroused, and his lower body immediately stood up like a frog. He couldn't help but laugh lewdly, "Good wife, of course I will treat you well, hehe! I will treat you very, very well immediately... Ah! "
As Zhao Wenyuan said this, his lower body moved forward lewdly, and suddenly he let out a scream. His face changed, and his body bent like a shrimp. He said to Qian Qingqing with a trembling voice, "Let go! Let go, quickly let go... "
Qian Qingqing still had a sweet smile on her face, but her orchid-like beautiful hand, which could pick cherries and hold swords tightly, was tightly squeezing Zhao Wenyuan's pouch. It was so painful that his face turned pale, and cold sweat seeped out of his forehead.
Qian Qingqing smiled charmingly, and caressed Zhao Wenyuan's cheek, and said gently, "Langjun, I am a little stupid. The Chieftain ordered me to go with you to Gourd County as your wife, but I don't know if it includes serving you on the pillow. Why don't you go to Bozhou and ask for permission? If the Chieftain agrees, then I will definitely serve you well, and make you, immortal, die... "
As Qian Qingqing said this, she used more and more force. Zhao Wenyuan was in so much pain that he couldn't breathe, and his face turned sallow. He said repeatedly, "Let go, quickly let go, I won't touch you, I won't touch you anymore!"
Qian Qingqing let go of his hand and giggled again. She purposely stretched her waist in front of him, and puffed out her full chest, revealing an extremely seductive expression, and said, "I am tired, and want to sleep. Langjun, are you tired? Let me help you undress?"
Qian Qingqing walked over with seductive steps like a charming cat. Zhao Wenyuan looked as if he had seen a ghost, and retreated in panic, and scolded fiercely, "You lunatic! You crazy woman! "As Zhao Wenyuan said this, he bent his waist and ran away in a sorry state.
Qian Qingqing giggled, and after laughing for a while, she leisurely returned to the dressing table and sat down. Looking at the extremely seductive face in the mirror, her expression gradually became gloomy, and she said faintly, "You said that you would stay with me for the rest of your life. Where did you go, Xiao Xiao..." Before she finished speaking, her eyes were already glistening with sparkling and translucent tears …
Guiyang City at night seemed to be even livelier than during the day. There were many pedestrians on the streets, and there were many vendors selling their goods by the roadside. Ye Xiaotian walked among them, and as the night wind blew, he burped, and his chest felt much more carefree.
After walking for a while, Ye Xiaotian felt tipsy, and he couldn't help but stagger a little. At this time, he suddenly saw a tall wall appear on the side of the road, and realized that this was where the Xia Residence was. He thought of Yingying, and his emotions surged, and he couldn't help but walk over.
"Open the door, open the door!"
Ye Xiaotian grabbed the bronze animal head ring on the door, and kept knocking on the door, and shouted with his tongue hanging out.
The Xia Residence alone occupied such a large area, so there were very few people who passed by the Xia Residence or did business here. Ye Xiaotian grabbed the bronze ring and knocked on the door, and the sound was very clear, and traveled very far. After a while, he heard someone in the residence call out impatiently, "Who is it?"
Ye Xiaotian shouted, "Open the door, I want to see Yingying, open the door quickly!"
The door opened with a "squeak", and a member of the Xia Residence lifted the lantern to take a look. He saw a young man in his twenties, and his face was red from drinking. His breath reeked of alcohol, and even his tongue was stiff when he spoke. He thought that it was a drunkard who came to pick a fight. Another servant sneered, "How dare you come to our Xia Residence and cause trouble?"
Ye Xiaotian took a step in, and almost tripped over the high threshold. He staggered a few steps, and turned his head to look around, and said vaguely, "Where's Yingying, I … I'm going back to Hulu County, I want to see … see her!"
When the servant saw him barging in, he couldn't help but fly into a rage. He raised his fist and was about to hit him, but was stopped by the servant who was carrying the lantern. The servant asked with a strange expression, "Who did you say you want to see?"
Ye Xiaotian said, "Yingying, I want to see Yingying, Xia Yingying!"
The servant who raised his fist to hit the air was shocked, and his attitude immediately changed. He hurriedly asked, "You want to see our family's eldest miss? Who are you? "
Ye Xiaotian hiccupped, and said, "I … I am Yingying's husband, I am Ye Xiaotian! You … don't you know me? I … am your … your Xia Family's son-in-law, I want to see Yingying, quickly take me to see … her. "
The servant who was carrying the lantern saw that his body was swaying, and hurriedly supported him. He gave another servant a look, and said to Ye Xiaotian with a face full of smiles, "So it's Young Master Ye. Our eldest miss has returned to Red Maple Lake, she's not here."
Ye Xiaotian was stunned, and his mind became a little clearer. He muttered to himself, "That's right! Yingying has returned to Red Maple Lake, Yingying is not here … "
At this time, the other servant had already dashed into the back of the house. The servant originally wanted to report to Old Man Xia, but along the way, he met a few Xia brothers who had their arms around each other's shoulders, planning to go out and fool around. When they heard that Ye Xiaotian had come looking for them, the brothers couldn't help but be furious, and immediately rushed to the front of the house …
