Chapter 155: The tree is about to get anxious!
During the Lunar New Year, the time waiting for the day to pass is always particularly difficult, as everyone wants to reach the evening as soon as possible to eat and drink and enjoy themselves.
After all, it only happens once a year.
The essence of the Lunar New Year is to make sure one is comfortable!
However, for some unmarried men and women of marriageable age, the Lunar New Year can be a bit difficult, as they are often asked by their elders at home about whether they have found a girl they fancy, or have daughters who want to get married as soon as possible, and then help them find a match after the New Year.
Fortunately, the Gu family doesn’t have to worry about this. After Gu Qing’s only daughter is married, his remaining two sons are still young.
Now, during the Lunar New Year, they talk about their experiences as conversation at the dinner table, and the family eats and drinks merrily around the table, having a happy new year!
If there is any regret, it is the lack of firecrackers to celebrate the New Year.
This makes Gu Yu wonder if he should get some gunpowder…
The steps to make gunpowder are simple, but the raw materials are a bit difficult to obtain.
However, Gu Yu feels that with the alliance, it is not a difficult matter.
It’s just that gunpowder is too powerful, and Gu Yu is not at ease with spreading it… After all, this is a fictional dynasty, and gunpowder has not been invented yet.
If he were to produce gunpowder, he would be the first person to do so in this world.
If nothing else, as soon as Bai Qian knew about it, she would definitely demand that gunpowder be kept in her hands to ensure the throne could be held securely.
This is also why Gu Yu was too lazy to make gunpowder before; he didn’t want to become a treasure that everyone fought over.
Instead, no one has it.
Then there’s no need to fight…
At this moment, the urge to make gunpowder was ignited by the New Year’s firecrackers, which made Gu Yu smile helplessly and continue to suppress the idea in his heart.
However, he could look for the raw materials to make gunpowder.
In case it is needed, they will have to send people to look for it elsewhere, which would take too much time!
In addition, the matter of the treasure map should also be put on the agenda as soon as possible.
As for the last iron lion, after sending Gu Qingheng to the alliance’s intelligence department, when he becomes familiar with them, start investigating the whereabouts of the iron lion immediately.
Musing about these things, Gu Yu raised his wine glass and took a small sip, finding the wine quite delicious.
Before, he thought the wine from Linfeng Kingdom would be terrible, but this wine is not bad.
It’s stronger than the brewed wine.
A real man should drink this kind of wine!!!
The more he drank, the better it tasted, which made Gu Yu unable to resist finishing a whole pot of wine. When he put down his wine glass, Gu Yu looked at his father-in-law sitting opposite him and suddenly felt something was not quite right.
“Father-in-laaaaw, why do you have… four eyes…”
“Four eyes? Gu Yu, are you drunk?”
“Drunk? How is that possible? I’m not drunk at all! I can still drink!”
As soon as Gu Yu spoke, he immediately drew the attention of the entire table. Gu Qing, sitting opposite him, found it both amusing and exasperating, thinking that his good son-in-law had gotten drunk!
At this moment, his tongue was slurring.
And he said he wasn’t drunk!
Seeing Gu Yu drunk, Gu Mengyao immediately picked up her wine glass.
After a small sip, Gu Mengyao noticed the difference.
This wine is very strong!
No wonder Gu Yu, after only drinking a pot of wine, is now drunk.
Originally, Gu Mengyao had thought… given Gu Yu’s drinking capacity, a pot would not be a big deal.
However, seeing Gu Yu grinning foolishly, Gu Mengyao also shook her head helplessly, not expecting such a development!
“Dad, what’s going on with this wine! I just tasted it and found that it’s stronger than ordinary wine! Not to mention Ah Yu, look at Qingheng!”
Not only Gu Yu was drunk, but when Gu Mengyao looked at her younger brother, she saw Gu Qingheng staring at the table with a serious expression, muttering something to himself.
Even when Gu Mengyao called his name, Gu Qingheng did not respond to everyone, but continued to mutter to himself.
This made Gu Qing sigh, thinking how studious his son was!!!
He gets drunk every time he drinks, and when he’s drunk, he recites things from books.
If he’s not allowed to drink, he gets angry…
“It’s Western white wine that an old friend occasionally obtained. When I came to the capital before, I conveniently gave me a bottle… Today, for the festive occasion of the Lunar New Year, I opened the wine directly. Who knew it was so potent.”
“Father-in-law, I’m not drunk!”
“Alright, alright, not drunk, not drunk! Mengyao, you should help Gu Yu back to his room to rest!”
As Gu Qing explained the origin of the wine, it was unclear whether Gu Yu was truly drunk or faking it. He could actually understand Gu Qing’s words and vehemently denied being drunk.
And when Gu Qing agreed, he immediately winked at Gu Mengyao, preparing to send Gu Yu back to the room first.
Anyway, they had already eaten and drunk their fill.
Whether he was drunk or not, let’s go back to sleep!
“You, dare to have a ‘couplets’ contest with me? I’ll start! One comes and goes, totaling three…”
However, just as Gu Qing was speaking, Gu Qingheng suddenly roared.
When everyone turned their attention to Gu Qingheng, they saw that he had left his seat at some point and was now talking to a tree.
His face was filled with anger, making everyone want to laugh and cry, thinking they should quickly send Gu Qingheng back to his room to rest!
If this continues, the tree might get anxious!
“Ah Yu, why did you drink another pot!!!”
The matter wasn’t over yet, and just as Gu Mengyao shifted her gaze from her brother, Gu Yu had secretly drunk again!
When Gu Mengyao reached out and snatched the wine pot, she found that there wasn’t a single drop left…
“I’m not drunk, really.”
“Ah Yu, if you hadn’t taken off your pants in public, I would have believed you!”
Finally, amidst the suppressed laughter of the surrounding crowd, Gu Mengyao directly carried Gu Yu back to the room.
If they stayed any longer, Gu Yu would actually take off his pants.
She had never seen Gu Yu drunk before, but now it was quite interesting…
Then, after putting Gu Yu on the bed, Gu Mengyao immediately found a towel to wipe Gu Yu’s face, so that he wouldn’t feel uncomfortable when he woke up.
However, before she could wipe him a few times, Gu Yu immediately reached out and grabbed Gu Mengyao’s arm, took off the towel, and threw it aside.
“Mengyao, I really, really like you! Although I usually avoid it, I won’t today!”
As Gu Yu spoke, the corners of his mouth couldn’t help but rise. Coupled with his flushed cheeks due to drunkenness, Gu Mengyao found her little husband too cute!
Especially, the words he said now made Gu Mengyao’s heart filled with joy.
After waiting for so long, was she finally going to have a taste of passion?
“Really?”
“Really!”
