The atmosphere in the small courtyard seemed to freeze suddenly, and it was the moment Aunt Dong spoke......

I suppressed the doubt in my heart, looked at her and asked, "Why do you say this?" ”

Mrs. Dong turned around and extinguished the fire in the hearth, moved a stool and sat at the table.

A trace of gloom flashed in her eyes, and she lowered her head and whispered: "Although the news has not been confirmed, it may not be groundless, Xiaolin, you should understand this truth." ”

I looked at her silently, and after a while, I spoke again: "Could it be that there are people in your family who serve in the imperial court?" “

This is the most plausible inference I can think of.

To tell the truth, ordinary people in the market, who cares about so many things in the DPRK and China, it is out of their reach.

What you have to care about is how to manage your own life, which is the concept of a small family in the modern era before the time.

The turmoil in the court, the teahouse is all a topic of small talk, and it is all obscure, and I dare not make a big fuss.

From what Gu Liu told me just now, to the advice of Aunt Dong in front of me, I can vaguely smell a bit of unusualness, I can meet the stranger who came to Sealand near the border town, and I can hear a little inside story of the high-level people in Sealand.

I could hear the same advice from the innkeeper who stayed there, and did it show that there was a difference between women in power and men in power.

The news will spread much faster than expected!

I coughed lightly and put down my glass, both pretending to be and in fact that I had drunk far more than I normally would.

In that period of bitter and melancholy hesitation in Qibei, nothing else was gained, but the amount of alcohol was much better.

Of course, Sealand is a daughter country after all, and their home-brewed rice wine is not as strong as that in the southwest.

Aunt Dong's night wine has just begun, I know that this is a lot as soon as I look at her drinking posture, she saw my eyes locked on the wine glass in front of her, and said with a smile: "It's not the time when I'm young, and at that time it's really a good amount of wine......" "I can say." Haven't I ever been drunk? “

I smiled in response to her and said with admiration, "I believe it." "Xiaolin, you don't care where the news here came from, but since I am willing to talk to you. It's for your own good. "I know," I said with a soft breath, "that the elders of my family have always been in charge of the search for relatives, and my brother has always been in charge. "As I said earlier, I'm going to see him on this trip to the capital of Zealand." "Lake Country, isn't there a good doctor where you live?" Aunt Dong said with a slightly surprised expression, "After all, the Lake Country is bigger than the territory here. "I'm not going to hide it, I know a little bit about the medical skills of a three-legged cat, auntie." I paused and said, "But the medical skills are broad and profound, and the doctors in various places have their own specialties, my eldest brother's illness is very tricky, and the good doctors in the lake country have seen a lot." None of them were completely broken. “

Nonsense, the root of love is still planted in the empress! "Taking advantage of this trip to the capital of Sealand, I heard that there is also a holy hand of traditional Chinese medicine there, and there is no harm in taking a look, other book friends are reading:." I said softly. "That's right." "Auntie, in fact, the situation is turbulent, and it may not directly threaten the safety of the national capital, and I have heard some rumors by chance on the way here. According to my speculation, if the news is true, it should be the north side that is not peaceful, do you say yes or no? “

Aunt Dong squinted her eyes and looked at me, then shook her head and said, "You have a plan in your heart." It seems that tonight's remarks are superfluous. "Tonight I drank and talked and listened to allusions. How can there be superfluous words, besides, the mutton soup made by my aunt is indeed the most delicious I have ever drunk in my life. “

After touching the cup once, Gu Liu, who was lying on the other side of the table, moved his body restlessly. "The fire went out, I'm afraid she felt cold." The eldest lady glanced at Gu Liu. said softly, "It's not too early, Xiaolin, I'm sorry for you to send her back to the dart game together." "Do you trust me like that?" I looked at the eldest lady jokingly, and she reached out and patted me on the shoulder, "Trust!" “

Aunt Dong helped to get Gu Liu into the carriage together, and when she went back to the dart bureau, there would naturally be someone who would answer, so I don't have to worry......

When the carriage started, I placed Gu Liu properly on the cushions in the carriage, and covered her with a thin blanket in the carriage, with gentle and careful movements.

Feeling the gaze of the lady next to me looking at my hand, I raised my head and laughed in a low voice: "I can't flatten it down, in case she wants to vomit when she is half awake, she needs to lean on her side." “

Aunt Dong sighed and said, "Gu Liu is unlucky. “

Her words are a little inexplicable, but based on Gu Liu's expression tonight and her series of actions in the past two days, I can actually guess some of the stories behind it in my heart, so Aunt Dong's words are both regretful and sighing. "A kind-hearted girl like her will be blessed, you can rest assured." "Xiaolin, I've borrowed your good words." "Auntie, it's late at night, I'll send her to the dart game safely, you go back."

The carriage started, and the speed of the carriage was much slower than when it came, and I specifically asked for the handlebar style.

In the slight bump, Gu Liu moved his body again, I stared at her for a few seconds, and my eyes slowly turned to the outside of the car.

On the autumn night in Hengcheng, the festive atmosphere has gradually receded, and now there are six or seven percent fewer people on the street than when we first came out at night, and there are not so many figures moving around.

The carriage passed through the most lively street, and I saw that many of the restaurants and liquor shops on the street were open, and square tables and stools were placed at the entrance of the shops, and many young women were eating and drinking with their families, and I could also meet some young men in the middle, most of whom had taken off their hats and showed their true faces.

Although it is a bit awkward to use the word "beautiful", the men I saw on the streets at night in Hengcheng really deserve these two words.

In contrast, the girls around them are more like female men, and even their drinking posture is much more bold.

My mood has settled down a little, such a Hengcheng is the epitome of Sealand, and what I see here should be the same as what I will meet in the national capital in the future.

Boys and girls, so, I'm safe, my outfit is reliable!

If I want to restore my identity one day, it is also my own choice, according to the needs of the situation!

The carriage drove slowly through the night fog-shrouded streets, gradually approaching the alley where the dart board was located.

I haven't entered the alley yet, but I just turned the corner on the street outside, I heard some messy footsteps outside, lifted the curtain of the car, and saw several figures in the night fog running quickly in the direction of the carriage through the gaps.

Take a closer look, who are the people who are not dart games?

After counting, three people came, two of them were maids who were told to buy goods in the evening, and one of them seemed to be a steward with whom I had a relationship, and I can't remember exactly.

The expressions on their faces looked very anxious, I don't know if it was Gu Liu's rare return so late, and besides, he went out with me, a "single young man"!

Looking past the three of them, he actually saw Ji Jiu behind them and slowly followed.

Who brought this great god here? I frowned and glanced at him, I was still so good in the middle of the night, did I cooperate with me to come out to find someone?

Before running closer, one of the maids hurriedly jumped into the car to check, and saw Gu Liuhao leaning there dignifiedly, a quiet appearance of falling asleep after being drunk, and seemed to breathe a long sigh of relief.

I looked at her with some amusement and said, "I can't stop you from being in charge, she has to drink so much." "Count it up, Aunt Dong is very familiar with your family, and even she doesn't help persuade her."

The maid met my gaze, blushed and said, "Thank you Lin Gongzi for sending Miss back." ”

Before I could reply, the carriage was knocked a few times, and outside the window, Ji Jiu looked up at me in the car and said, "Brother, you are so interested, you go out to drink in the middle of the night." “

Watching a few maids carry Gu Liu back to her own house, I followed Ji Jiu through the forest path to where we lived.

Halfway through, we met the steward who came to us and drove the car, and the expressions on the faces of the two people were not much different from when Gu Liu's subordinates saw her drunk.

Ji Jiu waved his hand impatiently and said, "What are you doing here, go back immediately, you have to leave tomorrow morning, and you can catch up when you are rested." “

The two people quickly disappeared from our field of vision, Ji Jiu stood still on the path, looked at the moon overhead, and asked me in a dry tone: "The night wine is delicious?" “

Obviously, his tone was calm, and I couldn't hear the slightest emotion, but I noticed his affection, and it was all because of his eyes betraying him! "Tonight is rare, I'm leaving tomorrow morning, you don't know, living in someone's house, inheriting other people's love, you always have to repay one or two."

Ji Jiu coughed and said, "Xiaolin, your way of repaying her is to accompany her out in the middle of the night to get drunk?" "Let her subordinates all come to the courtyard to find me and go out to find you together?!" "I'm sorry to disturb your dreams." I apologize. "But, big brother, what you said just now sounds very strange, others don't know, can you still not know? What's wrong with me going out with her, I'm with her."

I suddenly retracted, and quickly glanced around, my eyes swept over the trees, the quiet and uninhabited path, there was nothing unusual, I pouted and said, "You are really inexplicable. “

Ji Jiu's face instantly turned black, the moonlight was bright, and I could see that his face was black!

I yawned, feeling sleepy, and the wine I drank in the small courtyard also showed stamina at this time, and without waiting for him to continue, I waved my hand and said, "If you have something to talk about tomorrow morning, or you want, it's okay to nag along the way, and now I'm going back to sleep." “

Not bothering to look at the expression on his face, I turned around and walked to the house where I lived!

(ps: It's Saturday today, my sister is so busy that I'm so busy, I hate changing shifts the most, can't I take a few more days off?) Isn't it okay? ：（
