Sauerkraut Cuttlefish

"Here is Ji... Cough cough, Miss Su's residence is here, what do you not like?"

Under the guidance of the little master, Su Wan gently opened a small door, and what came into view was a pool of lotus flowers falling into the water. The water wall was made of black granite, and the purple lotus blooming in the small pool at the base looked serene against the black background And mysterious.

After crossing the threshold, Su Wan turned her head to look at the scenery outside through the glass window, and happened to see the peach tree planted outside.The branches and leaves are fully stretched out, and clusters of pink are clustered one after another, either settling on the branches, or covered by green leaves.Fuchsia blooms everywhere inside the building, and the peach blossoms begin to bloom outside the door. There are scenes in spring and summer. People are in the shadow of glass, and they don't know when it will be.

Turning around the screen wall, the gurgling water becomes clearer and audible.Only then did Su Wan realize that the decoration style of this courtyard was not quite right.The entire courtyard is separated by rockery, forming pools of different sizes and shapes. The bottom is a patterned picture made of pebbles. Layers of water mist escape from behind the gable, and the warm wind is flooding, warm and comfortable. Let those who are in it feel tired.

A feeling of familiarity and strangeness emerged spontaneously, Su Wan suddenly understood what this place looked like.Looking at the exclusive bathhouse renovated by the bathing center in front of her, she half-jokingly said, "I suddenly don't want to move anymore." She just wanted to lie down and soak in the pool until her fingertips wrinkled and peeled off.

Yiqing who was beside her smiled lightly: "Can you be more lazy?" As she spoke, she walked up to Su Wan, squatted down slightly, and turned her head to signal Su Wan to lie on her back and let her carry it in.Su Wan smiled, but still rejected Yiqing's kindness.

A few maids and servants came out of the house, saying they wanted to wait for changing clothes, but Yiqing was about to block her, but she heard Su Wan say, "It seems that their work here is quite complicated, you can't do it alone, so just stay here."

Su Wan said it in a tone of discussion with Yiqing, but Yiqing was reluctant: "I can do it alone." However, Su Wan did not accommodate her this time, and the two took a step back.Soon, Yiqing understood Su Wan's good intentions, because she had too much work to do.After Su Wan inquired one by one, there were a few left behind for burning fire, making sesame oil, doing laundry, cooking and cleaning.

There was not much time left for the dinner party, so Su Wan hurriedly burned incense and bathed, and then did a series of hair care work in what she looked like.

After completing these, Su Wan came to a small room covered with wooden boards. There were large gaps between the wooden boards, and a tooth-white fragrance mist came out of it.Looking at the wooden sign hanging outside, it says "Incense Room", which can be said to be very simple and clear.

Once the door was closed, there were only two people left, lying on the bed like an altar, bored, Su Wan recalled the competition in the morning, and mentioned: "Why is the realgar in my bag gone?"

Yiqing sat on the floor next to Su Wan, leaning her back slantly against the bed, not afraid of being burned.She said without raising her head, "I threw it away."

Su Wan was in a hurry, especially when she saw Yiqing didn't care much about it, this was her life-saving magic weapon, and she was almost beaten to death by the snake demon because of it.So she couldn't help asking, "Why did you throw it away!"

Yiqing's expression is always indifferent, showing no emotion, and it's the same at this moment. She raised her eyes to look at Su Wan, as if Su Wan was not the child she had taken care of for many years, but a painting, a piece of paper, in her eyes. There is no anger in the eyes.She moved her lower lip slightly: "Just because I am a snake."

Su Wan curled her lips, not daring to speak.She didn't expect that as the second best expert in the world, she would be afraid of this kind of thing.It never occurred to her that Yiqing was different from herself, she always thought that the people in the Su residence were all fox demons.

Help, how can I comfort the little girl when she is angry?

Or, put away her whip first, so as not to hurt innocent people?

Su Wan sat up like a dead body, wanting to reach out to touch Yiqing, and then casually chatter away the topic.Unexpectedly, Yiqing also raised her head to look at her, she obviously didn't even frown, but Su Wan knew that she was angry, and warned herself with her eyes: You'd better reorganize your words, otherwise...

Su Wan expressed no interest in the content of the ellipsis at the end, she just kept stretching out her hand without embarrassment, a strange idea suddenly appeared in her mind, it seemed strange to only stretch out one hand.So, she also raised the other hand that was propped on the side of the bed.

Before taking the next step, the door outside was knocked, and someone said: "Time is enough, miss can leave the incense room."

This is why Su Wan sometimes hates the operations of big families. She has to find so many people to serve her in a private place without any privacy.Of course, this is not what she is worried about now, she is too focused, the outside person knocked on the door suddenly, and her paws have become extremely smooth and tender after a series of maintenance just now, so she slipped very disappointingly.

"Hey, I'm sorry." In a critical situation, Su Wan's mouth usually responds faster than her brain, and she is about to jump on Yiqing. Her first reaction is not to try to remedy it, but to apologize first, and then wait for the two of them with peace of mind. The person fell to the floor.

Yiqing's ponytail was not high, just at the back of her head, Su Wan could imagine how painful it would be if she fell on the ground with a glance.Subconsciously, she put her hand on the back of her head, where the hair tie was tied, and lifted the back of her head up.The other hand wrapped around her back, as if embracing her whole body.The moment they both fell down, Su Wan's long black hair spread all over the floor.

The people below stopped talking, Su Wan knew that she was annoying, so she got up quickly after falling to the ground, and at the same time couldn't help but want to see Yiqing's expression now.She propped herself up on the floor slightly, and from the corner of her eye she saw Yiqing's ears hidden in the black hair, which seemed to have a magical power, prompting Su Wan's hand to move, raised her hand to straighten the hair, pulled her earlobe, and whispered softly Said: "Why so small?"

Several images flashed before Su Wan's eyes at the speed of light: the ears that were hidden again, Yiqing's angry face, the ceiling and the black curtain with stars shining.Su Wan was pushed away violently by Yiqing, bumping into the bedside with stars in her eyes.

Rubbing her temples, after the pain passed, Su Wan tried to open her eyes, and saw that Yiqing had stood up, her back was facing her.Although she didn't see the face, Su Wan inexplicably believed that Yiqing must have the expression of a girl from a good family who was molested and angry by a hooligan, and she always felt a little familiar.

The people standing outside heard the commotion and didn't dare to come in. They just reminded Su Wan that the banquet was about to start.

Standing up with bare feet, Su Wan felt that she was amazingly magnanimous today, and she didn't even intend to get angry with her, but persuaded: "Let's put the two of us aside for now, can we get down to business first?" Want to hold Yiqing's hand.

Yiqing picked up the clothes that were put aside, and covered Su Wan's head. With a "squeak", the door of the incense room was opened, Su Wan was fully dressed, and followed Yiqing.

The dinner party was held in Yuzhen Hall, a two-story duplex building, with an estimated twenty tables. Su Wan sat at the largest round table in the north on the first floor. Suddenly, Su Wan almost thought it was her wedding scene.

There are no such things as singing and dancing, drunkenness and gold fans. It can be seen that the preparation was a bit hasty, or it was supposed to be a dinner after the meeting, but two pairs of chopsticks were added, so the meaning of the announcement was not so strong.

Su Wan didn't need to show her real body, but she had to show her characteristic parts, for example, she was asked to transform her ears and tail.The ears are placed where the human ears used to be, and the thick and long tail is drooping behind the back. Every time I stand up to toast, the hair on it will be caught by the chair. Later, I can only put it sideways to avoid the fate of becoming alopecia areata.

Later, after everyone had eaten, Su Wan was led by Shen Lan to linger among the various sects, exchanged greetings and toasted each other, and then was blindly praised by all kinds, and she even felt that she was a little drifting.

"This is Shao Zhen's head." The two of them walked halfway, and when they met a man with broad shoulders and narrow waist, wearing a black crane cloak, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, Shen Lan stepped forward and introduced to Su Wan.

The person who was introduced took a step forward, politely stretched out his right hand, raised his eyes to see Su Wan, felt that it was inappropriate, and changed it to an unskilled salute, saying, "Shao Juan, did you ask for advice?"

"Junior Su Wan." Fushen returned the salute, Su Wan took the wine cup handed over by the Taoist boy, and said the words almost mechanically repeated countless times: "The greeting is not good, junior, first offer a cup to Master Shao."

"That's not allowed." Shao Juan stopped for a while, then withdrew his hand, "How can I let you, a weak woman, toast me this cup, so you... just give me a smile, it's just that poor greeting Be polite." In Shao Juan's two sentences, the first sentence seemed to be intentionally insulting Su Wan by other people who had been respected, and the second sentence contained a hint of harassment and rudeness.

In fact, Su Wan's first feeling was that she was offended, but Shen Lan nudged her lightly with her elbow. She didn't want to lose face, so she finally squinted her eyes and smiled: "Thank you, Master Shao, for your consideration."

"You're welcome, you're welcome, it's much more comfortable than a toast." Shao Juan raised his hand to pat Su Wan's shoulder, but he paused just as he stretched it out, turned a big bend, touched his nose, and said, "Go ahead I'm busy, I'll just play by myself for a while."

Shen Lan said a few more polite words before leading Su Wan to another table.Halfway through, he paused, and whispered something to Su Wan: "He is straightforward, and what he wants to express is literally."

Su Wan understood that this was to tell her not to think too much. To be honest, if she hadn't seen the man with well-developed limbs and simple mind, she would have almost scolded him in public.Of course, if someone loves her like her, she won't act recklessly in front of hundreds of people.

"All according to Master." Su Wan said.

Shen Lan's hand hidden in the sleeve moved slightly, he waved the sleeve, and the cup that Su Wan had been holding disappeared.He said: "From now on, if you follow me, why don't you call me Shizun like them."

Su Wan drank too much wine, and without thinking about it, she yelled obediently. The elegant smile on Shen Lan's face could hardly hold back, just like hearing a brother's child call her father, she began to feel relieved. fireworks.

Overjoyed, Shen Lan waved her hand: "There is no need to follow from now on, go back and sit down, eat more food, sober up."

Su Wan still had a bit of thinking ability, so she pushed back and saw Shen Lan insisted, so she went back to take her seat.

After saying goodbye to Shen Lan briefly, Su Wan's drunkenness suddenly surged, which directly affected her walking posture.Her two legs seemed to be tied with sacks of sweet potatoes, her feet barely lifted, her shoes were dragged on the ground, and she staggered like an old man.Yiqing really couldn't see it, and when she wanted to go up to help, she suddenly raised her head and swaggered, making her look even more stupid from behind.

The reason why Su Wan was so energetic was very simple, because she suddenly saw a petite and lovely girl walking towards her, and she nodded and smiled at her.Su Wan was only stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted and adjusted her facial expression, and made herself look like a human being, at least she thought so.However, this is completely inconsistent with the cute image of the fox ears on her head now, leaving only one of her essential characteristics - Han.

Of course, even if there is a beauty smiling, she still feels powerless, and she is more concerned about another thing, that is, Yiqing hasn't talked to her all night. This kind of thing used to happen, but today is different, she I always feel that there is a thorn in my heart, it hurts and itches and I want to get it out sooner, but because of the wrong occasion, it is inconvenient to open my mouth to solve it.

After saying hello to the seniors at the same table, and taking their seats again, Su Wan took advantage of the fact that everyone was not paying attention, and slapped her face vigorously twice, and finally saw clearly the pot of vegetables in front of her.It was indeed a basin, inside which were neatly stacked small cups in the shape of tea bowls, filled with milky white sweet soup, which needed to be taken out with bamboo clips.

It seems that they dislike too much trouble, or their actions are indecent, and no one has touched the dishes for a long time.The sweet soup was piled up like a small mountain bun, which was very eye-catching. If it wasn't for the steam wafting from it, Su Wan almost thought it was just a decoration.

At this time, someone on the table next to him spoke in a moderate voice, which just happened to be heard by the people nearby: "What is she, isn't she just taking off her clothes during the competition?"

The speaker is Jiang Na, and the protagonist being discussed is deaf and fighting against the tea bowl in front of him.The people at the nearby tables also heard this sentence, and it was only then that some people began to pay attention to Su Wan.Among the many gazes cast on Su Wan, Yiqing turned her head to look at Jiang Na.

Su Wan manipulated the bamboo clamp unskillfully, when suddenly there was a crisp sound, and a whole pot of tea bowls fell down one after another, all the soup inside overflowed, and a small part of broken porcelain remained in the pot.In addition, some milk splashed out and spilled on other dishes, making the whole table a mess.

One or two who didn't react had already been splashed all over, and their faces were quite dissatisfied.Jiang Na heard the sound and looked over, thinking that Su Wan did it on purpose because of what he just judged, and secretly scolded her for her bad temper and villainous heart.He stood up and whispered a few words to his good friend An Chang, and left Yuzhen Hall on the grounds of taking a breather.

The other theatergoers could only cast disdain, disgust and other expressions on Su Wan, but Su Wan still didn't know it, only the sweet soup that was made with great effort was left in her eyes.She held the small bowl stubbornly, and put it on Yiqing's ossuary, thinking that no one would hear, and said to Yiqing, "Look, I got the last cup. This is out of print, unique in the world!"

Yiqing's eyes changed slightly, and she ignored the eyes of others, took a sip from a clean spoon, put it to her lips and tasted it.Su Wan looked at her intently, her mood relaxed as Yiqing's brows gradually relaxed.

After taking a sip, Yiqing got up suddenly and said, "Excuse me first." Then she left Yuzhen Hall and went to the courtyard.

Su Wan watched Yiqing leave, still giggling, secretly happy that Yiqing finally talked to her.A few seniors over there got their clothes dirty and didn't want to bother with the drunks. Fortunately, someone came forward to settle it at this moment.

Ganqi, the protector of the right, took several disciples, took towels and new clothes, and rushed to relieve the trouble.

"Seniors, I'm really sorry, Xiaowan is new here and doesn't understand the rules, so I apologize to everyone on her behalf." Gan Qi bowed and saluted, "Qi Xing has prepared a clean change of clothes for everyone, please cooperate with me, seniors, to a nearby guest room Replacement. To express apology, after the dinner, Qi Xing set up a stage outside Yuzhen Hall and prepared fine nectar and jade liquid wine that has been brewed for a hundred years. pause."

Speaking of which, everyone also laughed, most of the people at the table with Su Wan were Qi Xing's people, so someone stood up and said something nice: "Xiao Qi is too polite, they are all from our own family, we have clothes." He After a pause, I felt that the tense atmosphere had to be eased, "But the wine must be drunk, and it's hard to wait until the master let go, so we can't let this opportunity go."

These words were spoken to other spectators present at the scene. Those who were not affected, reluctantly calmed down and went to the banquet.
