Chapter 506 Junior 1
Chu Qingmeng returned to the couch and slept for another three hours. Mo Liujin got up and went to the dining hall for lunch.
"Where is Qingmeng?" Mu Lingxue asked.
"I was woken up at 9:00 PM to deal with some things, and then I had a severe headache. I finally fell asleep, so I didn't call her." Mo Liujin explained.
"Today is the first day of the new year, why are there still things to report?" Mo Liuyuan frowned.
Mo Liujin paused for a moment, "It was urgent, so I came here."
"Can't you handle it?" Mo Liufang felt a little uncomfortable when he heard Chu Qingmeng had a headache.
Mo Liujin glanced at him and said, "The urgent report from the army arrived almost at the same time."
"..." Mo Liufang shut up.
"Okay, let's eat! No talking about official business at the dinner table." Mo Chenfeng frowned and scolded.
Chu Qingmeng was sleeping soundly. She knew Mo Yunting and Ling Xian would hold her up even if the sky fell. She could just sleep soundly. The news had been reported to them, and now it was up to them to decide what to do next.
Just before dinner, the sky began to snow again, and everyone went to the Yansui Hall again. When Mo Liujin brought Chu Qingmeng in, she still looked tired and sleepy.
Before entering the door, I asked Feiying for a hawthorn pill. I always felt a bitter taste in my mouth. Maybe eating something sour would make it better.
Everyone thought this was just her trying to hold on by taking medicine. Mo Liufang's eyes darkened slightly.
"My son, are you still feeling uncomfortable?" Chen Siyu frowned and called her over.
Chu Qingmeng was puzzled and explained as she walked, "It's okay, mother. I'm not uncomfortable."
When she got closer, Chen Siyu saw that her face looked normal and not pale, and she felt relieved. "As long as you are not uncomfortable, I'm glad."
The banquet started, and the sounds of singing and dancing were much quieter than last night. Chu Qingmeng took a few bites of the food and didn't want to eat anymore. Somehow, he just wanted to eat a bowl of clear soup noodles, the kind with only water, salt and noodles.
"What do you want to eat? Let someone prepare it." Mo Liujin saw that she stopped eating after a few bites and guessed that the dish was not to her taste.
Chu Qingmeng shook his head and said, "Let's talk about it after we get home. It's not appropriate to eat noodles at a banquet."
While they were talking for a few words, Mo Liuteng suggested playing a drinking game.
Mo Liujue refused speechlessly, "There are so many women in the hall. It would be inappropriate to play drinking games."
"Besides, drinking games are something men do at the dinner table, so stop giving me such bad ideas." Mo Liuchen also refused.
"It's okay to let the women join us," Mo Liuyuan suddenly said, and everyone looked at him. "Lingxue and the girls are also playing drinking games. Why not just use their style?"
Mo Liufang looked at Chu Qingmeng with a slightly shocked look in his eyes. Mo Liuteng said what he wanted to say, "Qingmeng's sister-in-law, are you two still playing drinking games?"
“…” Chu Qingmeng covered his face and said nothing.
Mo Liujin smiled slightly. She still knew how to be shy. "Their elegant way of playing is suitable for women..."
After introducing the rules of the game, everyone voted in favor.
"I've never heard of drinking games being played this way." Mo Chenfeng also became interested. "It's snowing outside now, why not play the word 'snow'?"
It begins with Chen Siyu, "Shaoshi has many peaks, some are different, one is sunny and the other is snowy."
Lin Yue: "A thousand miles of yellow clouds cast a shadow over the sun, the north wind blows the geese and the snow falls."
Mu Lingxue: "The window contains the eternal snow of the Western Hills, and the door is moored with ships from Dongwu that have traveled thousands of miles."
Chu Qingmeng: "Ten feet of yellow dust and a thousand feet of snow, it's clear that it's nothing like the south of the Yangtze River."
…………
Everyone was relaxed at first, until the third round, when Chen Siyu was the first to lose. Mo Chenfeng smiled and drank a glass to skip it. By the seventh round, the only two people present who hadn't drunk anything were Mo Liuyuan and Mo Liujin.
Mo Liufang looked at Chu Qingmeng in surprise.
At the start of the tenth round, Chu Qingmeng was defeated by Mu Lingxue. He was not as educated as her and had to admit defeat. Mo Liujin drank a glass and continued to listen to them.
Mo Liuyuan didn't even have a drink until the end of the fifteenth round.
Mo Liujue's wife smiled softly and teased, "Second sister-in-law always claimed she couldn't read, but now her poetry is the best! You're really good at fooling us."
Mu Lingxue smiled and said, "After being with my beloved for a long time, I will definitely learn a little bit."
This was the first time Chu Qingmeng heard Mu Lingxue call Mo Liuyuan "my dear". Tsk tsk, it didn't seem like a big deal when others called him that, but why did it feel so creepy when Mu Lingxue called him that?
"What are you looking at?" Mo Liujin asked softly in her ear, "When will you be willing to call me 'my dear' or 'husband'? Hmm?"
"..." You're everywhere! Chu Qingmeng glanced at him and lowered his head to drink tea.
The younger generations below found it interesting and wanted to join in the fun. The dinner finally ended with a lot of noise. The men present drank a lot and went back to their respective homes.
As soon as Chu Qingmeng entered the warm room, he took off his cloak and rushed to the couch. It was so cold! The warm room was more comfortable!
Mo Liujin smiled and shook his head, dismissing the maid. He sat down beside her on the couch and gently rubbed her waist. "Are you exhausted these past two days?"
Chu Qingmeng felt the warmth of the couch and responded comfortably, "Not bad, not too tired, I just don't like crowds."
