The three of them drank and ate, talked and laughed, all of which were happy times for young people.

Later, it seemed that he was tired, and it seemed that because he had drunk too much wine, Chai Lingwu got up and waved his hand, his tongue curled, and said over and over again: "Ah Zhi, for brother, go back first, go back and say." Otherwise, your stepfather will beat me to death, and tomorrow, tomorrow will go forward. ”

As he spoke, he was about to walk out, stumbling in his footsteps.

"That's a lot of wine. Jiang Chengzi muttered as he reached out to support Chai Lingwu.

Chai Lingwu grabbed the door frame when he was about to fall, waved his hand at Jiang Chengzi, and said, "It's cold outside the house, I'm not in the way, I'm not drunk." ”

"That's what drunk people say. Jiang Chengzi pursed his lips, ordered the porter to help, lit the lantern, and sent Chai Lingwu back to the annex to rest.

Chai Lingwu shouted all the way: "Ah Zhi, when you return to Chang'an, we will work together to make a lot of money." ”

"Good, good. Jiang Chengzi replied all the way, and finally coaxed him to rest, and ordered the people who were waiting to guard it in case Chai Gongzi vomited and damaged his lungs.

She arranged everything to come out, and as soon as she passed by the hall, she saw Chai Shao standing there, and she didn't turn on the lights, reflecting the lanterns under the eaves of the verandah outside the house, at first glance, it was gloomy and miserable.

"Ah, father-in-law. Jiang Chengzi immediately lowered his head and shouted respectfully.

"Hmm. Chai Shao replied.

"Why hasn't my father-in-law rested yet? It must be my brother-in-law who quarreled with you, and I asked my father-in-law not to blame him, in the end, Ah Zhi was ignorant, and on a whim, he poured a few more glasses of wine with my brother-in-law. Jiang Chengzi explained to himself.

Chai Shao shook his head and said, "I didn't have the intention of sleeping. ”

"Earlier, I had ordered someone to come and talk to my father-in-law, and tomorrow the King of Shu will also return to Chang'an. Could it be that the messenger did not bring the message?" Jiang Chengzi asked.

Chai Shao chuckled and said: "You, the little concierge and maid of the Yang family's six-room, are all carefully selected, and your gestures are all famous, and you do things safely, how can such a small thing not be done well." ”

"Even so, my father-in-law will rush back to Chang'an early tomorrow morning to resume his life, and please rest. Jiang Chengzi said with a smile.

"When people are old and have too many things on their minds, they have no intention of sleeping. Ah Zhi, my father-in-law is about to move forward, you can talk to me. Chai Shao said and sat down on the side.

Jiang Chengzi didn't dare to disobey, so he sat down on the soft couch of the guest seat and knelt down.

"Father-in-law, I don't know what I want to tell Ah Zhi?" Jiang Chengzi asked respectfully.

Chai Shao looked at her with a smile, and after a long time, he shook his head and said, "It's not a big deal, just before leaving, let me tell you: you have to remember that you are the child of your father-in-law, and your father-in-law will protect you." ”

"Thank you, father-in-law. Jiang Chengzi replied obediently. Thinking that this Chai Shao didn't know what ups and downs he had in his heart, he actually said this, it seems that the situation in Chang'an is more severe than he imagined.

Chai Shao still shook his head lightly and said, "Good boy, don't thank me, you have your own creation, as long as you don't forget your original intention." ”

"Ah Zhi obeys the teachings. She bowed obediently.

Chai Shao nodded, waved his hand and said, "You go and rest." ”

"Yes. Jiang Chengzi got up and retired.

When he was about to go out, he looked back at Chai Shao, and felt that in the glowing candle flame, the figure of this radiant general actually looked extremely lonely and lonely, as if he had aged dozens of years in an instant.

What was wrong with him? Did it have anything to do with him?

Chang'an, or really Longtan Tiger's Den, and Li Shimin may be more indifferent and cruel than Li Ke said.

The future seems to be tricky!

However, he couldn't ask Chai Shao directly. She is a villain in the end, even if Chai Shao shows great tolerance and love, she still can't trust a second person other than herself.

She has always had reservations about things and people, and she doesn't believe it 100%.

That's it, one step at a time!

Jiang Chengzi stood under the eaves of the porch for a moment, then wrapped himself tightly and slowly returned to his courtyard with the lantern.

The porter, who was still guarding the door, greeted her warmly when he saw her return.

"Go and rest. Jiang Chengzi said.

The porter pursed his lips and whispered, "Girl, let's go and serve." ”

Jiang Chengzi was stunned for a moment, and then understood that the porter meant that Li Ke was in the house, if a lonely man and a widow were in the same room, it would always be bad for her reputation, so she was drinking, and now that the wine banquet is over, this is different.

The porter was willing to protect her reputation, and she was grateful, so she said kindly, "Wait a minute, I'll go and see." ”

"Yes. "The porter stepped aside.

Jiang Chengzi went back to the room, and through the small window, he saw Li Ke reclining on the soft couch beside him, leaning on several pillows, sleeping soundly.

She crouched beside him and looked at him, her long eyelashes covered and her lips soft like fruit jelly, looking calm and serene.

Jiang Chengzi looked at him, and couldn't help but admire in his heart: He looks so good-looking, he really lives up to the Dugu family (Li Ke's great-grandmother and great-grandmother are both the daughters of Dugu Xin, well, Dugu Xin is a famous beautiful man in history, classmates you don't know, you can search for 'side hat romance', look at this one) gene.

She looked at it for a while, thinking that he was worried all these days, and he must be extremely tired when he was running around today. Therefore, she couldn't bear to wake him up, so she only went into the house and took the quilt to cover him, and ordered Ah Bi and the three of them to come and remove the stove, cups, plates, and bowls, and clean the house lightly.

After the cleaning was completed, Abi and the others withdrew.

Jiang Chengzi added some more tranquility incense, and then took the lantern and ordered the porter to call Li Ke's stand-in guard Yang Chu and the servant Xiao Qiyi together.

"You say, his son-in-law is drunk, and he is resting here, and I will go elsewhere to rest, and let them serve. ”

The porter got the order, so he carried the lantern and trotted all the way to invite Xiao Qi and Yang Chu to come.

Jiang Chengzi instructed the two of them to guard their sons, not to close the windows, to keep the air circulating, and if the floor heating and stove are too hot, remember to change them to thin quilts. If there is anything commanded, give it to the porter.

Yang Chu and Xiao Qi responded again and again, and Jiang Chengzi took Abi to Yang Ruyu's courtyard to live with Yang Ruyu.

This came and went, and the people in the courtyard knew that the nine girls were traveling for the king of Shu and Chai Gongzi, and the two were not strong enough to drink, and one could still walk, so they were sent back to live.

And the king of Shu was directly drunk and unconscious, so he rested in the Nine Girls' House. The ninth girl had no choice but to disturb the eldest sister late at night and live with the eldest sister.

Yang Ruyu is a person with strict work and rest time, although she was disturbed by Jiang Chengzi and accepted Jiang Chengzi to live in her courtyard, she quickly fell asleep.

Jiang Chengzi was lying in the side room, thinking of Chai Shao's expressions and actions, thinking of Chang'an, which was beyond the reach of the whip, and thinking of the separation that was about to grow old, he was so worried that he tossed and turned and didn't sleep all night.
