As for Ye-mama and the others, even if she wanted to joke around, she didn't dare. What if the Old Madame heard about it?
Bai He pulled her back and said, "That's right, I feel close to you. You're closer than the few of them who have been together for more than ten years. It's a pity that you can't stay here for long."
Yu Se broke out in cold sweat. If this lass's careless words were heard by someone with ulterior motives, they would be in big trouble.
Fortunately, the other party didn't seem to think too much and only said, "Then we'll hang out more often. We're no different from sisters."
Yu Se said, "This lass is really hard to get along with. The feelings we've been with her for more than ten years are all gone in just a short while."
Bai He pulled her back and laughed, "Of course not, it's just that we can't … Oh right, what's your name?
Do you have a courtesy name? "
The courtesy names of women in this era were usually given by their husbands or masters.
Bai Xiangxiu thought of Long Heng's appearance and didn't know what kind of courtesy name he would give her. She shook her head and said, "No, you can just call me by my real name, Xiang Xiu."
"How impolite would that be?" Yu Se hurriedly said.
"It's fine, I can also call you Yu Se and Bai He." In the modern era, it was normal to call friends by their given names.
"Yes, yes, only Sister Yu Se has so many rules, it's already too estranged." As she spoke, Bai He talked about her age. Bai Xiangxiu was actually younger than them by two months. She was actually a younger sister.
Thus, the discussion continued until it was dinnertime.
Bai Xiangxiu asked them to stay for dinner and said that she wanted to drink a little wine.
There was no other way. When young girls gathered together, it was inevitable that they would eat and drink.
Bai He agreed. Even if Yu Se pulled her back for a long time, she wouldn't leave. She had no choice but to stay.
"Go tell Eldest Young Master that Sister Yu Se, Sister Xiu, and I are staying for dinner and won't be going back for the time being."
Bai He instructed the maidservant beside her before entering the banquet. The three of them actually started drinking.
Bai Xiangxiu couldn't drink white wine. She always felt that it was too spicy, so she drank it in small mouthfuls.
Lily, on the other hand, was a forthright person. She would usually drink from a small cup in one gulp.
The Song family was not stingy with their guests. Knowing that the two young masters' ladies were going to stay for dinner, they served a lot of good dishes to go with wine. In the blink of an eye, Bai Xiangxiu was a little drunk after drinking two cups of wine.
"I'm not drinking anymore, I'm not drinking anymore. I'm going to get drunk if I keep drinking."
She waved her hand. This body's alcohol tolerance was really not good. She had only taken two small sips and her head was already starting to feel dizzy.
Lily, on the other hand, was still sober and said, "Sister Xiu only drank a few mouthfuls and you're already saying that you're drunk. As far as I know, the more drunk you are, the more sober you are. Come, let's play a drinking game. Don't just drink so much."
"Drinking game?
But I don't know how to. "
Bai Xiangxiu had drunk too much, and her previous naivety was revealed. She rubbed against Lily's shoulder and said with grievance.
"Aiyoyo, Sister Yu Se, look. Even I can't stand Sister Xiu lying in my arms like this, let alone her family's Prince. No wonder the outside world is saying that he treats you like his heart and loves you dearly!"
Bai He also drank a few more cups before she started joking around with Bai Xiangxiu.
However, Bai Xiangxiu shook her head and said, "Wrong, wrong, wrong. Sister Lily, you made two mistakes with just one sentence." She stretched out her fingers and pouted to defend herself. Yu Se, who was watching from the side, immediately blushed.
She thought in her heart, No wonder the eldest young master always misses her. She was really cute when she acted coquettishly. Even a girl like her would feel her ears and heart race, let alone a man.
However, after she said something, she changed her opinion. It seemed that even a beautiful person might not have a good life.
She shook her finger and said, "First, this Prince is not mine. He's Miss Lin's.
Second, the outside world is definitely just a rumor. It can't be believed.
Besides, even if he dotes on a concubine, how much can he dote on her? "
When Lily heard this, she sighed and said, "Come, let's toast to our future."
She was also going to be a concubine in the future. Maybe when the new madam came, she wouldn't even be able to be a concubine and would be sold off!
"Cheers …" This time, Bai Xiangxiu didn't say anything about getting drunk. Instead, she drank to her heart's content.
But after finishing this cup, her whole body leaned back and fell directly onto the bed.
Xiao Shi was shocked. She went forward to take a look and said, "Our master has fallen asleep."
Lily smiled and said, "Wake him up before drinking. I haven't had my fill yet!"
How could Yu Se allow her to wake him up? She forcefully pulled her back.
When they returned to the courtyard and entered the room, they found that Song Jiaoyue was still awake. He sat under the moonlight with his hair down, looking like a fairy descending to the mortal world as he stared at the moonlight.
When they entered the room, they smelled the scent of alcohol. They frowned and said, "You drank wine?"
As soon as Lily saw her master, she sobered up and became honest. In fact, she was still quite afraid of this young master.
Thus, she nodded and said, "This servant and Younger Sister Xiu felt like old friends at first sight, so … this servant stayed to drink some wine."
How could Song Jiaoyue not know Lily's alcohol tolerance? He asked, "Did you get her drunk?"
Lily nodded and said, "Yes …"
Yu Se immediately said, "Mistress Xiu has a good temper and insisted that this servant keep her company for a while. That's why we drank some wine.
Who knew that her alcohol tolerance would be so low? She's already asleep now and hasn't been tossed around. "
Song Jiaoyue said to Lily, "Go and rest. Drink less wine in the future."
"Yes." Lily hurriedly agreed and left.
Song Jiaoyue left Yu Se behind and asked in a gentle voice, "Is her temperament good?
She's only met you once, so why did she start drinking wine? "
Although his voice was faint, it was obvious that he was very interested in Bai Xiangxiu's matters.
Yu Se didn't hide anything and told him everything they'd said when they drank wine.
Song Jiaoyue was fascinated by her story and thought that it would be good if he could sit with her and leisurely drink wine and talk to her.
However, when he heard her say that Long Heng was Miss Lin's and that his love for her was just a rumor, he sighed.
He originally thought that she had a good life in the prince's estate, but now he felt that it wasn't so good.
"Mistress Xiu must not have drunk wine with others because she doesn't even know how to play the drinking game." Yu Se felt that she was too obedient. It seemed that life in the prince's estate was very strict.
Although the Song family also paid attention to strict family rules, servants like her were still allowed to drink wine or form a poetry club when they had nothing to do.
"Prince is a man of few words and smiles, cold and hard when he does things, but …" It was hard on her. If he had agreed to let her come over, perhaps she would have already mingled with these servants and lived a free life.
Yu Se couldn't guess what the young master was thinking and only said, "Now that she's helped the Song family, the old madame will definitely see her in a new light when Mistress sends her gifts!"
"En!" Song Jiaoyue nodded and said, "What do you think of her knowledge when you talked?"
"Of course it's good. When she has nothing to do, she can suddenly say a few sentences that make people think about it for a long time!" Yu Se loved to read, so when she talked about this, she really admired Bai Xiangxiu.
