Chapter 1659 — That Zun's Wedding
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 1 of 4
These past few days, both the Upper and Lower Capitals of Jingping had been in extraordinary uproar, bustling with coming and going. Qingniu told Libationer Bashan, "Master, Elder Sister is drinking herself drunk in the tavern. Wine jars are piled on the tables and in the corners. " Libationer Bashan immediately panicked.
"Keep an eye on her. Don't let her cause trouble. I'll go tell Granny Zhu!
" Qingniu hurried to the tavern, where he saw a little girl of about ten, lovely as ice and snow, sitting by a wine table shouting and hollering for the proprietor to bring more wine. The nine fox tails behind her rump had already emerged, and she was on the verge of reverting to her true form. Yet she had already drunk the tavern dry. The proprietor was at his wit's end, and recognizing this drunkard, dared not drive her out. He could only stand helplessly to one side, listening to her scolding.
". . . I've been through the bowing ceremony too.
I may not be the first wife, but at least I'm a concubine. .
. " Xue Hu'er, drunk and clumsy, clambered onto the wine table, one leg standing in a wine jar, the other splayed outside. She rolled up her sleeves, reeking of alcohol, her white fur robe soaked with the stench of wine. She complained to the proprietor, "This time I've got to be given a proper status, haven't I? Don't you think so. .
. " Qingniu hurried forward.
"The Right Vice Director is drunk! Quick, quick! Send the Right Vice Director back to her residence! " "I'm not drunk.
I know you. You're the third.
. . uh, the fourth. No, that's wrong! Long Pi swore brotherhood with Tian Shu and Qi Jiuyi. You must be the sixth or the seventh.
. . " Xue Hu'er was still spouting nonsense. Qingniu hurriedly helped her down and escorted her to the Vice Director's residence in the Department of State Affairs.
When Xue Hu'er arrived at the Department of State Affairs, she cast a drunken sidelong glance and caught sight of the Left Vice Director. She sneered, "Here's a fellow sufferer! Si Yunxiang, you're the second wife. You come and judge what's fair. Back then, Blind Old Master made the decision and married all three of us off.
We went through the bowing ceremony!
" Si Yunxiang, who served alongside her as Vice Director of the Department of State Affairs, one on the left and one on the right, holding Jingping's financial power between them, had grown far more steady through the years of experience. She said with a smile, "Little Sister is drunk. Go back and rest first. " Xue Hu'er said carelessly, "Old Nine, I don't need your help.
I can walk! " With that, she pushed Qingniu away and staggered forward, then tumbled with a gurgle into a flower bed, only her tails sticking out.
They twitched twice and then went still. Qingniu didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"How did I become Old Nine again? " When Granny Zhu received Bashan's report, she immediately became alert.
"Bashan, find me some people and keep watch on the dangerous elements! At this juncture, nothing can go wrong! " Seeing how seriously she spoke, Bashan hurried to say, "Rest assured, Granny. I'll handle this matter perfectly! " He hesitated, then asked, "Which dangerous elements am I to monitor? " "The little fox is the first! And then that girl Si Yunxiang! " Granny Zhu spoke rapidly, "Especially Si Yunxiang.
The little fox is straightforward, but that girl is crafty beyond measure. She must be guarded against. Besides her, there are other key targets to monitor, such as those wild girls from the Western Lands. They still have the custom of walking marriage. Be careful they don't lure the groom into their rooms on the wedding night!
And then there's Dide Yuanjun.
She must be watched as well.
