On the second day after attending Cui Jiu and Sun's wife's wedding, Mei Zhuyu still got up early. When Wu Zhen and the bells and drums were ringing three times, Mei Zhuyu took them up and had breakfast, and then lay down like a wandering soul to continue sleeping.

As usual, she had to sleep until midnight, but today, someone came to send a post.

Wu Zhen knows many people, not only ordinary people, but also various monsters, and there are always people looking for her. So those who follow the rules will first send someone to her to hand her a post to indicate a visit or invitation. In order to facilitate contact, Wu Zhen will give some special seals to his close friends. After these seals are stamped, Wu Zhen will give priority to the posts.

This is the case with this post today. There was only one post, and five or six stamps on it. The doorman had been told that. When he saw this post, he was worried that there was something urgent, so he sent it directly to Mei Zhuyu. Mei Zhuyu took the post without any intention of opening it and turned to the room to find Wu Zhen.

Wu Zhen was picked up from the bed by the husband. First, he stretched out his big and stretched his waist on the bed for a while, then stretched out his two fingers to pick out the post from Mei Zhuyu's hand, and opened it with a trembling look. While she looked at it expressionlessly, she reached out to rub her slightly painful waist.

Mei Zhuyu watched her movements from the side, and wanted to rub her, but when she looked at her hands, she took them back with a little unconfident.

After reading the post, Wu Zhen threw the post on the ground casually, showing a slightly depressed and helpless expression. It was a subtle expression that she didn't want to do anything, but she had to do it, so she was in a bad mood.

Mei Zhuyu had never seen her expression before, and asked immediately: "What's the matter, do you need my help?"

Wu Zhen lay on the bed with black hair on her shoulders. She hammered the bed and said hatefully: "A group of friends invite me to party!"

Mei Zhuyu didn't understand why she showed such an expression at a party. Didn't she go out to play with her friends often?

Wu Zhen saw his thoughts and grinded his teeth and said, "There are two such gatherings every year, which is so annoying. If you have nothing to do in the afternoon, how about going with me?"

Mei Zhuyu nodded, not thinking anything. On the contrary, seeing Wu Zhen's unwillingness to go there, he was a little curious about what the party was going on.

The post was written on this afternoon, and the location was Plum Garden. As the name suggests, this Plum Garden is a garden full of plum blossoms. It is a good place for everyone to enjoy the snow and have a banquet in winter. But it is summer, and the Plum Garden has no flowers or snow, but it is just green. No one runs to the Plum Garden at this time, so the Plum Garden is very quiet and lonely at this time.

When the two of them arrived, there were no people in the plum garden. Wu Zhen pointed to the trees along the way, "We can come here to see flowers this winter. This plum blossom is particularly lush, but there is no green plum fragrance in the small garden."

"Come here." Wu Zhen lowered his body and crawled into the woods next to him, passed through the lush branches and leaves, took the plum blossoms to a small lake, pointing to the dozen plum trees beside the lake and said, "These are fragrant snow plums, the flowers are light green, and you can smell the fragrance of flowers on the upstairs there when you bloom."

Mei Zhuyu walked along her fingers and saw a corner of a small building hidden in a green area across the lake.

Wu Zhen was in a much better mood at this moment, and with a smile on his face, he walked towards the small building with Mei Zhuyu, and said, "It's useless to say now. You have to experience it yourself before you can realize the taste. When it snows this year, choose a day to wrap this garden for one day, and we will come here to enjoy the plum blossoms."

Although the plum blossoms were not in bloom, the green trees were clear water. The two of them walked by the lake with a gentle breeze. As they spoke quietly, plum Zhuyu naturally began to look forward to the snow this year.

After going up the small building, Mei Zhuyu was arranged by Wu Zhen to sit in a room on the second floor. When you open the window here, you can see the flower hall downstairs. Wu Zhen leaned against the window and said, "There are too many people below and I'm very annoying later. You don't have to go down. Sitting here and waiting for me, I'll end up as soon as possible."

Speaking of this, a servant brought in a table of wine and dishes. The amount was not large, but the fragrance was savory and everything was very delicate and pleasing to the eye. Wu Zhen walked to the table and sat down, not eating it himself, and said, "Today, let the Langjun come with me. The main reason is that the food here tastes good. I want you to try it. There is also this plum wine, which is brewed by the plum garden and is not taken out. You can only drink it here. The wine has a mellow taste and a long aftertaste, which should suit your appetite."

During this period, the two of them would drink a few drinks together at night. Mei Zhuyu's alcohol content was getting better and better. Seeing that he finally tasted something, Wu Zhen liked to take the opportunity to share with him all kinds of good wines he liked.

After saying a few words, the flower hall below became lively, and people came in a constant stream, and some people shouted loudly: "Are you here, are you still Wu Zhen? Why didn't you come?"

Wu Zhen looked out the window, shook his sleeves, and said to Mei Zhuyu: "Eat slowly, I'll go down."

After Wu Zhen left, Mei Zhuyu didn't eat. He listened to Wu Zhen's sound of going downstairs and sat down by the window and looked down. He saw Wu Zhen walking into the flower hall.

There were already five or six men sitting in the flower hall. When Wu Zhen entered, three more men came with him. The few of them seemed to have known each other for a long time. After greeting each other, they sat down at the table casually, with sumptuous wine and food on the table and three empty seats.

The few people didn't mean to wait for everyone to come and then hold a banquet. Someone started pouring wine on their own and tilted his head to drink.

These men, the oldest, look in their thirties, and the youngest, look in their twenties. Most of them are upright and have good temperaments, including weak scholars, wealthy men, and tall and brave men. They all seem to have a good background.

The men, who can be called heroes, did not have the joy of attending friends' banquets at all. Even if there was the joy of meeting friends at first, everyone gathered together at this moment, and their faces slowly contained sighs and depression.

I heard the drunk man at the beginning say, "Brothers, I really feel miserable!"

He said a long sigh, took another sip of wine, and supported his head, "My woman did such a thing that insulted me a few days ago. Now my colleagues laughed at me, alas! If I had known this day, I would not have married that woman!"

A weak gentleman sitting next to him patted his shoulder, "Brother, I know your difficulties, you and I are both people who fall into the world!" He sighed, and even stretched out his sleeves to wipe the corners of his red eyes, looking like a man holding back tears.

"Atao and Wen Zhong, don't do this. Arguing with the wife at home is just a trivial matter. Why bother so much?" A tall and thin man said aloud: "I was sent to Guang'an by the Shangguan a few days ago. I suffered a lot but were not as good as you."

Another handsome and older man came over and poured him a glass of wine and whispered: "Dou Qi, don't say that, they have been wronged recently."

"Oh, yesterday my father scolded me for no reason. It would be fine if he didn't like me at home, and he wouldn't give me some face in the court."

"Think about it, it would be better if you work in the same place with your father and be scolded by your father than if you were scolded by other Shangguans."

"You don't know that his tone is really abominable. He treats me like this just because he is partial to my illegitimate brother!"

"Your brother is not bad except for being incompetent. Look at my younger brother, I really can't live a peaceful life. He caused trouble every day, but he was a mother and grandmother in my family had to protect him. Last time he caused trouble, he insisted that I settle it for him, and he made me feel flirted all over."

A group of men didn't know how they started, and they complained to each other. This one talked about the day when they had a bad relationship with their wives at home, the other talked about the biased parents, the brothers caused trouble, some talked about the job being unsatisfactory, and many unlucky things recently, some talked about the bad marriage of their sister, and the beloved Ma Ranji died, etc.

Such a group of men with different identities and appearances didn't eat a few bites of food on the table, and just drank. You said I sighed, and finally had a drink.

Wu Zhen, a woman, was caught between the men and women, and she didn't feel abrupt at all, but she felt a sense of being taken for granted. However, there was no such thing as these men and women on her face. She raised her eyebrows and listened to them, and when a man pulled her to complain, she listened, after listening, she was either persuasion or ridiculed. If the other party was annoyed by her, she poured a large glass of wine and stuffed it over, and simply said: "Drink!"

So the man with bitter taste sipped the wine, then continued to complain with a bitter face.

When they comforted each other, sighed together, and scolded each other, two more handsome men came one after another, and two handsome men. As soon as they arrived, they soon entered the ocean of complaints. Another man caught Wu Zhen and started crying. A nine-foot-high man wiped his tears and said that his wife and concubines in his mansion had a fight. He had been both angry these two days and had a hard time.

Wu Zhen said casually with gloating: "You can marry another one, so that at most two of the three quarrels, you can go to the remaining one and there is nowhere to rest."

Wu Zhen was obviously joking, but the husband clapped his hands after thinking for a moment, praising him, "It's true that you are worthy of being you! You can think of such a good way, it's worth a try!"

The last man came late, and the wine on the table had been on the table for another round, so he came late. He sat in the empty seat beside Wu Zhen. Wu Zhen put his shoulder on his shoulder and suddenly slapped his fat and chuckled his belly hard. The man slapped his belly and smiled bitterly, "Oh, you can't beat him."

Wu Zhen didn't care, looked disgusted, and said rudely: "Second brother, you were also a handsome man before, why did you become like this after being sent to Qing'an for two years?"

The husband, whom she called the second brother, smiled bitterly and shook his head, sighed: "I am old and can't compare to young people."

"Yes, Zhen, my brothers are not as young as they were at their age." said a husband who also looked in his thirties. He also smiled bitterly and patted his slightly bulging belly.

Wu Zhen curled his lips and pointed at their stomachs and said angrily, "It's not so good. If you have time to ask me to go running together and run around the Nanshan Mountain, you will definitely not be able to grow such a big belly."

"Oh, no, no, no, I can't bear it. I'm tired of working every day and have no energy." The man waved his hands repeatedly when he spoke.

As a result, everyone talked about the problems of lack of energy leading to discord in sexual intercourse and discord between husband and wife, and sighed. Wu Zhen mingled among them and sighed, and no one felt that it was wrong.

After three rounds of drinking, a drunk man was already crying at his desk and shouting to recite poems, saying, "The good materials cannot be built, and the mud dogs are piled up all over the wall." What "If you have talent, how can the wise ruler abandon it!"

Mei Zhuyu looked down at a group of gentlemen who had been dressed in bright clothes and graceful demeanor. At this moment, she was completely invisible and howled ghosts and wolves.

Several of the men of the men made Mei Zhuyu look very familiar. If he read correctly, the men who cried and shouted to divorce his wife was the son of the Minister of Justice; the men who cursed Shangguan was the Minister of War. He had a fight with the Minister of War on the street a few days ago, which caused a lot of discussion. Two days ago, Mei Zhuyu also heard his colleagues talk about this bold Minister of War.

There is also the elderly man who was slapped by Wu Zhen. It seems that Sima of Xuanzhou who was transferred back to Chang'an and was also named General Lingwei.

The husband who had drunk too much and had already crawled under the table was a doctor from the Imperial College. Mei Zhuyu had seen him in his uncle's house before. He was a gentle and elegant man who was very popular. But at this moment he was like a pickle, losing the meaning of life, and murmured that he didn't know what he was.

Mei Zhuyu didn't know the others, but they were obviously not ordinary people. Looking at Wu Zhen who slapped the table and stared at him impatiently, Mei Zhuyu suddenly realized.
Chapter completed!
