Chapter 96

The dishes were served one after another in the warm small building. The two sat next to several tables. Wu Zhen introduced Mei Zhuyu to various dishes. There were not many dishes, and the portion was only enough for two people to eat, but everything was very delicate, with a complete color, fragrance and taste. Especially one of the cold plums in the snow, there were white plums floating in the milky white fish soup. Mei Zhuyu thought it was the picked plum blossoms for decoration. Unexpectedly, Wu Zhen scooped one for him with a smile. When he tasted the "flower" in his mouth, he found that it was carved from tofu, which was lifelike.

"How is it, it's not bad. I thought of this dish for them to make last year, but unfortunately I didn't succeed at that time. I didn't expect it to be made this year. The flowers look good, but the taste is a little less." Wu Zhen tasted one and commented seriously.

Mei Zhuyu had no idea what was bad at all. The taste was so bad that she could only eat vegetables silently. He didn't know much about these exquisite dandy born and raised in Chang'an.

After eating for a while, a servant brought a pot of wine. Mei Zhuyu saw it and said, "Don't drink today."

The servant was stunned. Wu Zhen quickly coughed and waved, "It's all delivered, come here." The servant then smiled and continued to deliver the wine to Wu Zhen, introducing, "I know it was the plum garden you packed today, but I didn't want this plum wine. Our wife was very surprised, so she asked the slave to send a pot of new wine."

Wu Zhen lifted the lid and sniffed it lightly, praising: "Your wife's winemaking skills are getting better and better. This is the bars made of green plums in front of the lake, and the fragrance is a bit different."

"It's worthy of you, you can smell it. If you want the slaves to say it, it will be the same. How can you tell so many differences?"

The servant left after delivering the wine. Wu Zhen turned his head and saw that Mei Zhuyu had put down her chopsticks and looked at her quietly. Wu Zhen coughed again: "I won't drink it, just put it here and smell it..."

Mei Zhuyu: "If you really want to drink, just drink a drink, it shouldn't matter." Seeing Wu Zhen's greedy appearance, he couldn't bear it and said hesitantly.

Unexpectedly, Wu Zhen became even more solemn: "How can this be done? If you can't drink it, you can't drink it." After that, she picked up the wine pot and poured a glass of wine, and pushed it in front of Mei Zhuyu, "Drink it, just drink it for me."

Mei Zhuyu shook her head and picked up the wine glass to drink it all. This year he was taught by Wu Zhen to know how to know wine. Although he was not as good as Wu Zhen, when he was taught by the "teacher", Mei Zhuyu was good at tasting wine and could taste it for the best.

Wu Zhen yelled, a little regretful, "You just drank it in one sip. How much taste is lost? You should taste this wine slowly."

After saying that, she leaned over and kissed the husband on the lips.

Wu Zhen, who was slowly tasting, stepped back and said, "Is this wine a little sweet? It shouldn't be, did you change the brewing recipe?" She glanced at the half-spoon of fuchsia soup in Mei Zhuyu's bowl, and suddenly realized, "Yes, fuchsia soup is sweet. It should be that the husband ate fuchsia soup before drinking, so it has a sweet taste."

"Improperty." She said and handed Mei Zhuyu a glass of water: "Come on, rinse your mouth and drink another glass of wine, I'll try it."

Mei Zhuyu, who sat in a dead body for a long time, had no response: "..."

With a long sigh, Mei Zhuyu reached out to take the glass of water, put it on the small table aside, took the pot of wine and got up and walked out. After a while, he came back empty-handed, sat back and finished eating the remaining half spoonful of sweet hibiscus soup in the small bowl, and then he raised Wu Zhen's chin and went up to kiss her.

After letting go of Wu Zhen, Mei Zhuyu continued to eat vegetables. Although there was no expression on her face, her ears were slightly red. On the other hand, Wu Zhen, who was kissed, held his chin with one hand and looked at him with a smile. After that, he smacked his lips and said to him: "Do you think the Furong Soup is too sweet today?"

Mei Zhuyu scooped her a big bowl of hibiscus soup.

Wu Zhen tskated, "Okay, forget it if you don't talk to me." He picked up the bowl and ate it slowly.

Mei Zhuyu pursed her lips, and a small smile appeared in her eyes, "Eat more, sister."

Wu Zhen: "Puff, cough cough!"

When the two left Meiyuan, Wu Zhen asked someone to pull a cart of wine back. Facing Mei Zhuyu's surprised gaze, Wu Zhen said without blushing: "This is the wine used to entertain guests when the child is ready for the full month."

Then, she used this reason to store a lot of wine everywhere and go home, filling the entire room in the backyard of the Mei family's house.

"In addition to the full moon wine, there is also a one-year-old wine. If you prepare early, you won't be too late." Wu Zhen's "preparation for the future" was very unreasonable, but Mei Zhuyu had no reason to stop him, so he had to go with her. However, every time he saw Wu Zhen aiming at the room behind the hiding wine, he couldn't help but sigh.

"If you really want to drink, you can drink a little, I won't tell them."

Wu Zhen wiped his saliva and refused righteously, "If you say you don't drink, don't seduce me to make mistakes!" The sister asked the husband to watch her not be allowed to drink, but the eyeliner turned against her so easily. She still had to rely on her perseverance, but Wu Zhen complained.

As the end of the year approaches, Wu Zhen can no longer sleep in. At this time of year, she is always the busiest time. Who told her friends to be everywhere in Chang'an? Not to mention all kinds of etiquette, it is always necessary to move around each other. There are also various gatherings. Everyone runs around from all over the world a year, and there are always a few that cannot be gathered. Finally came back during the Chinese New Year, so naturally they have to get together to drink and chat.

But at this time of the Chinese New Year, the demon market is also busy. After winter, everything withered. If the monsters and monsters living in the wilderness want to attract some popularity, they have to find ways to sneak into Chang'an City. If they are safe, it would be fine. Wu Zhen usually turns a blind eye and lets them spend the winter in Chang'an City. But the trouble is those uneasy, who make trouble everywhere after entering the city, which needs to be eliminated.

Mei Zhuyu naturally would not let her catch monsters everywhere alone, and almost took on all her tasks. In this way, Wu Zhen, who braved the cold every winter night, had to beat monsters everywhere in Chang'an City, only needed to walk around for a few laps this year without doing it yourself.

After a busy New Year, the court had not yet begun, and everyone was enjoying the unique leisure and excitement during the New Year. Wu Zhen, as usual, woke up all the demon generals at the entrance of the demon market and asked them to patrol the differences between her and the Snake Duke, so that they could have a few days of leisure.

Her belly was already very big. One day Mei Zhuyu suddenly saw a small bag bulging on her belly. In his astonished gaze, Wu Zhen slapped his stomach familiarly, "Don't make trouble, be honest with me."

Mei Zhuyu: "Can he move?"

Wu Zhen: "Of course I will move, I will move long ago."

Mei Zhuyu: "...Did he think it out?"

Wu Zhen: "It's not time yet. I think he's just bored."

Mei Zhuyu stared at her belly, but didn't see any movement again. He was a little confused: "Why have I never seen him move before?"

Wu Zhen didn't know, "Actually, he is very well-behaved every time you are here, and usually won't move." Seeing Mei Zhuyu's subtle expression, Wu Zhen held back and praised him: "I am worthy of being a husband, I'm afraid of you before the child is born!"

Master Mei didn't want to be afraid of his children at all, but he couldn't see it on his face.

Master Mei was in a low mood until the night of Shangyuan Festival, and Wu Zhen and him walked onto the streets. Shangyuan Festival is the most lively festival of the year, and it is even more lively than during the Chinese New Year, because during the Chinese New Year, everyone reunites with their families for dinner. On the Chinese New Year, everyone goes out of the house and celebrates with people they don’t know outside.

The huge light wheel lighthouse has long been raised, and even the trees on both sides are full of colorful lanterns. Many people have set up tents in front of their homes to worship the heavenly officials. Some people are carrying various statues of gods and walking around the city, singing and drinking, praying for good weather this year.

The Taoist temple is full of incense, and the large tripod in front of the door is filled with burning incense piles. At night, you can still see smoke everywhere, and the smell of burning incense can be smelled at the end of your nose.

Dancers wearing colorful fairy costumes, stepping on stilts, holding up lanterns in their hands, moving lightly in the crowd. Under the night lights, they looked like a group of immortals floating in the wind.

Drum music came from the gateway of the high wall. It was musicians invited by the nobles to perform miscellaneous operas. More ordinary people gathered around the stage set up not far outside the palace wall. The endless stages were surrounded by people before they even started to take the stage.

In the past, the palace walls were surrounded by forbidden areas and ordinary people were not allowed to approach them. However, the Shangyuan Festival was different. The city gates were not closed. People could walk under the city wall and allow the stage to be built on this huge open space. It is said that if the emperors and nobles in the palace were interested, they would watch the plays below from the corner of the city wall nearby.

Wu Zhen and Mei Zhuyu also came nearby and saw someone selling round pieces carrying a load. Wu Zhen walked over and ordered two bowls of steaming round pieces, and squatted on this noisy cold night to eat.

"Although it's just an ordinary meal, which is not as delicate as usual, you should eat this snack that is sold with a load at this time. What you want is this ordinary and what you eat is this lively." Wu Zhen said, while carrying the bowl of his own into the Mei Zhuyu bowl, and explained naturally: "This restaurant is not too sweet and tasteless, I won't eat it."

The gongs on the other side of the stage lit up, and Wu Zhen's eyes lit up, "It's time to go! Come and see!"

After eating the last round piece of Mei Zhuyu looked over there and frowned: "There are too many people, don't go over and squeeze."

Wu Zhen held his arm, "Don't you want to see?"

Mei Zhuyu was strange, "I don't want to see it."

Wu Zhen smiled mysteriously, and didn't explain much, so he just pulled him and squeezed him over there.

Of course, Mei Zhuyu didn't know that what Wu Zhen remembered was the little baby who was separated from his family in winter. She held back her crying and looked for a way around, and walked to the stage and looked disappointed because she couldn't see it. At that time, she thought that if she was by his side, she would definitely pick up the poor little baby and let him see it clearly.

Mei Zhuyu protected Wu Zhen and was careful not to let people around him bump into her. At this moment, he felt a pair of hands wrapped around his waist, and the owner of these hands was trying to pick him up.

Mei Zhuyu stood firmly on the ground, looking at Wu Zhen in confusion, "What are you doing?"

Realizing that he couldn't hold him up, Wu Zhen gave up decisively, spread his hands and said innocently: "It's nothing."
