In the dead of night, when I returned from the palace, I saw a bright light not far away when I passed by the verandah, and it was obvious that the people in the courtyard had not rested.

It was a guest room near the inner courtyard, and Uncle An sent someone to carefully clean it before letting Jinglan move in.

It's just that...... It's so late, the third watch has long passed, why didn't he go to bed before the lights were out.

Is it adapting to a new environment? Or is it something else?

Jing Ning couldn't help but stop......

In the slightly cool air, there was a faint sweet mellow smell coming from the breeze, she squinted her eyes slightly to smell, and her solemn face for many days suddenly became vivid, raised the corners of her lips, and said to herself, "Is it wine?" ”

She is a good wine, no matter what kind of strong wine or fruit wine, she is very happy.

This is probably the most important thing she can't stop eating and drinking.

Follow the fragrance, turn the road from the round arch, the mellow and rich flavor is deeper, and the fragrance seems to dredge the limbs and eight bones, which makes people feel refreshed.

In the distance, I saw a green locust tree, and someone was facing her sideways and shoveling soil with a small shovel. The silver-gray robe hung down to the ground, gilded with the moonlight, and the man's gestures carried a different kind of chic agility.

Jing Ning couldn't help but wonder, how could there be a man with a scattered style and bones, such as silver moonlight, and still capture people's souls, as if everything was pleasing to the eye, a faint smile on the corner of his mouth was like a fairy, and the seven souls of the people who were hooked were gone.

Such a peerless person, I'm afraid it's not an ordinary family, maybe it's the son of the king and grandson.

After looking at it for a moment, she felt that she was really out of order, but fortunately, the smell of wine recalled her senses, and Shi Shiran walked over and stopped a foot away from him.

He turned around, his late-night outfit was not as solemn as usual, his collapsed long-sleeved robe, and his black hair was gently pulled by a white hosta, becoming more and more elegant and clear.

He said, "It's so late, why hasn't Miss Xue slept yet?" ”

She walked a few steps closer, "I just came back from the government, and there are many affairs, and I can't rest until I finish solving them." ”

He sighed lightly, "Miss Xue, forgive me for being offended and persuading, things are always unresolved, but if the body collapses, won't the gains outweigh the losses." ”

"I know." Jing Ning smiled kindly at him, "But I just took over Pingcheng, and there are many things that I must be familiar with immediately, otherwise the next affairs will be difficult to handle." Besides, if I don't run the government as a woman, if I don't put in several times the effort, I'm afraid I won't be able to stand in Heicheng at all. ”

He seemed to understand her, "I can see that you really want the people of Heijo to live a good life. ”

"yes." She was usually a little quiet, but tonight she suddenly talked more, "Here it took my father three years to slowly get to today's results, and I promised him that he would make Pingcheng rich." Since I have said it, I will not break my word. ”

Jinglan stood up, neatly lifted the wine jar that was originally going to be buried in the ground, and said with a smile, "Do you want to drink?" ”

He could actually see his thoughts, Jing Ning raised his eyebrows, and he was not polite, "Of course." ”

Taking the wine glass, she took a sip and tasted it carefully, it was plump and mellow, full of fragrant, it was a rare good wine.

Raise your glass, "You brewed it yourself?" ”

He nodded, "This is Sangluo wine, I usually have nothing to do, so I will make some wine to satisfy my hunger." I've been drinking alone for many years, but I didn't expect to meet a confidant in wine today. ”

"I've always been drunk with a thousand drinks, if it weren't too late today, I really want to compete with you."

She drank another glass, her eyes wandered, her eyes rippled slightly, and at this time, Xue Jingning finally took off the solemn mask in front of the person, and had a bit of the true color of her delicate daughter's family.

Jing Lan smiled, "It's the first time in my life that I received a letter from a woman who gave me a letter of war on the amount of alcohol. He also drank a cup of the same heartily, "Then I will change to another day, so that I can see Miss Xue's thousand cups without getting drunk." ”

Jing Ning put down the cup and reached for the wine jar, but somehow his arm shook, and the wine jar almost hit the floor.

"Be careful!" Jing Lan quickly caught the jar, put it firmly on the table, and hurriedly asked her, "What's wrong with your hand?" ”

Jing Ning probably thought of what the reason was, and smiled bitterly, "It should be that the arrow was too fierce in the military camp in the morning." ”

"Pull arrows?"

"yes." She shrugged her shoulders, "If you are in a hurry to demonstrate in front of your subordinates, you don't care about anything." ”

Seeing that she said it calmly, Jing Lan could feel the helplessness and sourness in her words, how hard she had to hurt her hand to this point.

Listening to Xue An, she has hardly rested since Xue Yi's death, she is busy until the middle of the night every day, and she only sleeps for about two or three hours before she gets up to take care of everything.

Escorting his father's ashes to Beijing, it only took a few days to complete a qiē rush back to Pingcheng, and many affairs pressed on her as a weak woman, but she never saw her say a word of bitterness, still going out early and returning late every day, and trying to do everything well.

He boasted of how many women he had seen, and there had never been one who didn't see himself as a woman like her.

Closing the jar, he muttered softly, "Don't drink it, go back and rest." ”

Jing Ning propped her chin on the stone table, the rich and sweet aroma of wine made her a little drowsy, her sleeve-length white hand slowly slipped down, she lay on the table and closed her eyes, muttering, "I'm not drunk, I'm just a little tired...... Just let me lie down for a while. ”
