Sorcerer

In Section 198<, Jian You and Wu Maxi spent time together by the brazier, roasting some food, talking occasionally, and reading idle books, but most of the time they sat silently until late at night, Jian You lying on Wu Maxi’s bed. Ma Xi fell asleep in her arms, and the day was over.

Shi Muting showed up a few times, but saw that Jian You's resentment was still unresolved, so he had to reduce the number of appearances, and spent the New Year alone in the luxurious room of Tianren Pavilion. <The festival gradually passed, the sound of firecrackers gradually faded away, and Jian You's smile gradually returned.

On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Han Xiaolai and Gu Xiaolong came to pay New Year's greetings, and the four of them grilled meat skewers on the brazier.

Gu Xiaolong raised his left hand and showed off: "Sister Youyou, look at my bracelet, is it beautiful?"

Jianyou's eyes lit up, and said: "Wow! This is the limited collection of Xuanya 2912. Only nine pieces were released back then, and each of them was designed by du li. It is very rare in the market now. How did you find it?" of?"

Gu Xiaolong proudly said: "Grandpa Xiaolai gave it to me."

After Jian You finished listening, the smile on her face immediately subsided, and she burst into tears.

Both Han and Gu panicked, and Han Xiaolai hurriedly asked, "Youyou, why are you crying? Did Brother Zhang bully you?"

Wu Maxi knew that she was still sad, so she shook her head to Han and Gu without saying a word.

"It's him! He won't let me eat meat." After Jian You finished speaking, she threw herself into Wu Maxi's arms and burst into tears.

Both Han and Gu looked at Wu Maxi strangely.

Wuma Xisheng was afraid that Jian You would come up with some unthinkable accusations, so she could only admit: "She is too fat."

In the next two days, the colleagues in the co-editing research office returned to the hospital one after another, and were dragged by Han Xiaolai to Wumaxi's small building for a carnival, and the small building finally became lively.Jian You's mood also became much brighter, and she vaguely had the charm of the past.It's just that every night when people dispersed, after tidying up the small building, the two of them still sat silently beside the brazier until Jianyou fell asleep.

On the [-]th day of the first lunar month, Chili Research Institute's new year is over, and it finally starts to go to work.The entire research institute returned to its busy and lively appearance overnight, and Wu Maxi's life was finally on the right track. She went to work to study artistic conception, discussed murder matters with Lao Que, read some materials after get off work, and sat with Jian You in front of the brazier. sit.

On the morning of the twelfth day of the first lunar month, there was a sudden news that You Jingwei's third son, You Baiye, would come to Chili today. The hospital organized a grand welcome banquet and invited all research management personnel above the researcher level to participate in the banquet .

Not long after Wumaxi got the news, Zhu Huahu came to the door, stood at the door of the Jing room, looked at Wumaxi with a smile on his face, and said, "Drinker, did you have a good time drinking during the Chinese New Year?"

Wu Maxi shook her head and said: "I didn't dare to drink, Youyou just stared at it."

Zhu Huahu slapped his hands and said: "Let me talk, people in the wine shop should not be burdened by family."

Wu Maxi changed the subject and said, "Brother Zhu is looking for me for the welcome banquet tonight?"

"Isn't it?" Zhu Hua licked his lips and said, "Zha's secret Bauhinia drunk is a rare treasure in wine. Brother, I have been greedy for a long time. This time the third young master You came to the northwest, I must have brought it with him. Quite a few, this time it will definitely be a real treat." Zhu Jiugui's words were based on his own judgment of others, and he judged others as drunkards.

Wu Maxi echoed: "That's right, just get drunk on this bauhinia, this feast can be enjoyed even against the wind."

Zhu Huahu laughed loudly and said: "Okay, okay, have ambition! Let's join forces, and we will make sure that the southwestern thief never comes back." His words were full of pride, but he regarded the wine shop as a battlefield.

Wu Maxi also laughed along with him, without interrupting his passion.

Naturally, he participated in the banquet not to get drunk on Bauhinia, but to inquire about some news about Southwest and Ruyi.In addition, You Jing is not Wumaxi's childhood idol, Wumaxi is a little curious when the third son of his family comes to the northwest.

However, Zhu Huahu had already determined that Wu Maxi was a big drunk, which was a big trouble.At that time, at the wine table, he will definitely be forced to drink. Wu Maxi doesn't drink well, but don't tell the truth after drinking until the last news is not asked, telling all the secrets in his heart, and then tell the truth. It would be a complete tragedy if my life was confessed here.

Therefore, the banquet at night must not drink alcohol.

If a big alcoholic suddenly stops drinking, he must have a reason.

The reason Wu Maxi found for herself was: she only drank bauhinia to get drunk, and all other wines were vulgar liquids, so she didn't drink them at all.

The arrival of You Baiye didn't even stir up any waves in the Co-editing Research Office.

Only Gong Xili sang "The Biography of Grandmaster Jingwei" to everyone all afternoon, but this person's singing skills were too poor, his words were tasteless, his mouth was dry from exhaustion, but he didn't even say a word of applause.

Near noon, Lao Que approached Wu Maxi with the convenience of sending out the invitation letter, and secretly revealed to Wu Maxi the list of people who came from the southwest this time.Wu Maxi took a look, and among the entourage, there was no one whose name had been heard.

In the afternoon, Zhu Huahu ran over early and waited in the research room, for fear that Jian You would rob him.

After get off work, Jian You really started to rob people, holding Wu Maxi's arm and not letting him go, not allowing him to go to the banquet.

"Don't mess around." Wumaxi said.

"Just mess around!"

"Let go!"

"Don't let go."

……

The two quarreled back and forth with this kind of unnutritious language, and no one persuaded them to make peace. The colleagues in the research room ran away as soon as they got off work, and the only remaining Zhu Huahu was watching the battle with a smile.

After nearly 10 minutes, Wu Maxi finally used brute force to break free from Jian You's entanglement, and walked quickly towards the door.

"Don't go." Jian You's voice came from behind, "I'll make you pearl fish and Yiren soup, please don't go?"

Wu Maxi turned her head, but saw Jian You's face full of pleading, sighed slightly, and said: "You You, I'll be back soon, and I'll buy you a gift when I come back." After that, she walked out of the research room door, and Zhu Huahu walked outside side by side.

Zhu Huahu said with emotion: "In your life, it seems that you really have no relationship with wine shops."

Wumaxi said: "Why do you say that?"

"Many things can make people intoxicated, but drunkenness is the most false and boring kind." Zhu Huahu's tone was a little sad, "This is the last meal that my brother asked you to drink."

If Wumaxi realized something, but she didn't want to think deeply, she smiled and walked downstairs quickly.

This time the banquet was hosted by Luo Cizhang, and the venue was set at the Tianren Pavilion.

When the two arrived, there were only a few people in the hall, and Gong Xili left after work, but he was not one of the few people.

Zhu Huahu led Wu Maxi to come up, seeing that everyone was drinking tea, Zhu Huahu immediately took out a delicate blue and white porcelain wine bottle from the storage bag, and said: "Drinking tea is so boring, come here, pour it Pour it up." After speaking, he poured out the tea in everyone's teacups and poured wine into it.

"Zhu Jiugui, aren't you afraid of being thrown out if you drink too much?" The person who spoke was a middle-aged man with long beard, whom Wu Maxi also knew, and his name was Tu Zonghao.On the night when Wumaxi's house caught fire, Tu Zonghao also came to save the fire. After throwing two small water polos, he stood and watched with a group of friends, discussing happily which girl is the prettiest under the raging firelight .

Zhu Huahu said indifferently: "What are you afraid of? By the time I start talking nonsense, you have already fallen down and can't hear me." Then he introduced Wu Maxi to everyone, saying that Wu Maxi was "the younger generation of the liquor store, Blue comes out of blue and is better than blue", and then began to chant poems, teasing Wu Maxi that "red pink rouge warms the fragrant nest, fine oars and jade liquid build fairy bridges. A drunken incense spreads for three hundred miles, and mosquitoes and flies are all swaying."

All the people present were easy-going and fun-loving people, so they laughed lively, teasing Wu Maxi with each other.

Although Wu Maxi was not familiar with this kind of scene, she was not stage-frightened either. She just spoke cautiously and seldom opened her mouth. As for drinking, she only said that she wanted to keep her stomach waiting for the good wine. It's unbearable to eat", Zhu Huahu was so angry that he jumped up and down.

The number of people in the hall gradually increased, and after this table was full, they were divided into other tables, and the discussion gradually became lively.You Baiye still hasn't arrived, but the topic of the few people has already turned to him.

A few people here, Zhu Huahu went to the Daxingdian a few days ago, and once took a look at You Baiye from a distance at the banquet. According to his evaluation of You Baiye: "He is good-looking, and his level of artistic conception seems to be good. Not bad, but he doesn't seem to like drinking, I saw an old man toast him, and he just took a sip."

Tu Zonghao said: "It is inevitable that the artistic conception is good. The family has a long history. As for drinking, if it is really an old alcoholic like you, would Wen Cang dare to marry his granddaughter to him?"

"What... what?" Wumaxi's complexion changed suddenly, as if a huge boulder was hanging in her heart, ready to fall down at any moment.

"What?" Tu Zonghao saw Wu Maxi's expression was strange, "Xiao Zhang, are you okay?"

Wuma Xi shook her head dumbly, and said, "Wen Cangyuan's granddaughter, what's the matter?"

"Wen You's two families are married, what's so strange?" Tu Zong replied casually, and then turned his gaze to everyone at the table, "I heard that Wen Cangyuan's granddaughter is very beautiful,..."

"What's her name? Wen Cangyuan's granddaughter?" Wu Maxi still had a glimmer of hope in her heart.

"I don't know what it's called." Tu Zonghao didn't care about Wu Maxi's unreasonable interruption.

"The surname is Heng. I remember her father's name is Heng Jue, who abducted Wen Cangyuan's daughter more than 20 years ago..."

Like a thunderbolt, it hit Wu Maxi's mind. Although there were noisy discussions at the banquet, he could not hear anything.

Really wishful!

Really are……

My mind was empty, I didn't dare to think deeply, only such a terrible thought echoed in my desolate mind.

I don't know how long it took before the soul gradually returned to the body.

The bustle and noise around him rushed like a tide, obliterating him in an instant.

He only felt cold all over his body, cold to the bottom of his heart, and drank the wine in front of him in one gulp, but he was still very cold.

He stood up in a daze, and walked out in a daze.

Zhu Huahu suddenly appeared in front of him, stopped Wumaxi and said, "Little drinking buddy, where are you going?"

Wumaxi opened her mouth, but couldn't speak, and could only squeeze out a forced smile.

This smile was interpreted by Zhu Huahu as shyness, and he glanced at Wumaxi with a smile before moving out of the way.

Watching Wu Maxi's back gradually go away, Zhu Huahu felt a little bleak for no reason, and sighed softly: "There are pearl fish, Yiren soup, and other common liquids at home, which are really unpalatable."
