81. [081] Drink with me for a while
After a busy day's work, Lin Bao took a comfortable shower, but he was tossing and turning in bed.
In other words, she is not afraid of taking a bath with others recently, and she is not afraid of others breaking into her room.
Because of what happened half a month ago, the people in the entire courtyard and even the entire palace treated her respectfully, let her wash first every time she took a bath, and even the cleaning of the room was taken care of - of course, the premise was that she had to agree first.
However, such a life seems peaceful, but she always feels a little uneasy, like a prelude to an impending storm.
Changing into the white robe that Lian Che gave her last time, Lin Bao rolled out of the window and walked alone in the imperial garden.
Thinking that half a month ago was the same as in the same year, Lin Bao was a little emotional, and along the road half a month ago, the ghost made a miracle to walk into the woods before.
In the woods, a faint glimmer of fire could be faintly seen.
She was shocked, could it be that she didn't see Huang Li so unfortunate when she went out today?
Suddenly, there was a yin wind blowing in her backbone, she subconsciously shrunk her neck, retreated, and was about to slip away, but she heard someone whisper: "Since you're here, why don't you sit with me." β
- Nima, do you still need someone to accompany you this year?!
Lin Bao turned around and spread his legs and was about to run, but his head reacted first, how could the ghost's voice sound so familiar? It's like...... Time!
Her eyes widened, and she turned to take a closer look at the figure sitting by the fire not far awayβwho could wear a white robe so well?
After confirming that it was Nianhua, Lin Bao ran over with his little short legs, walked to him, and sat on the ground regardless of whether the ground was dirty or not.
The faint light of the fire made their white robes stand out.
Lin Bao glanced sideways at his white robe, and a ridiculous thought popped up in his heart - are they wearing couple clothes?
Bah, bah, the couple's outfit is a man and a woman, and they both wear men's clothes, either hitting the shirt or engaging in it!
Wait, men's clothing?
Her pupils shrank suddenly, but she heard Nianhua take a sip of the wine in her hand, stared at the fire in front of her, and said, "You are really a woman." β
ββ¦β¦β
Lin Bao bit his lower lip, but he didn't say anything, and only after a while did he hold back a sentence: "When did you find out?" β
- She has only asked two people this question now, one is Lian Che, and the other is him.
"Guess." He drank leisurely and handed her a jug of wine.
ββ¦β¦β
Lin Bao twitched the corners of his mouth, could it be that Cheng Nianhua and Lian Che have been staying for a long time, and these two have become tacit? - Even Che said so, and he said so.
It's just that Lin Bao has no nature to guess, after all, the current process is no longer important, and the consequences are the most important.
She lowered her head and held the flask in her hand and said, "Will you tell me?" β
Unexpectedly, Nianhua just smiled and said slightly drunk: "Drink with me for a while." β
Drinking again?
Lin Bao frowned, although Lian Che didn't punish her for drinking last time, it doesn't mean that she drank this time, and Lian Che won't blame her either!
Besides, if you drink alcohol, get a little drunk, and talk nonsense, that's bad.
She pursed her lips, and was hesitating whether to refuse, so she heard Nianhua say: "If I say, if you drink with me, I won't pursue your identity, will you drink with me?" β
Admittedly, the conditions of the years are very attractive.
Lin Bao didn't pretend too much, ripped off the lid of the wine, and drank it with him - anyway, it would be fine to drink it perfunctory, and nothing should happen at all.
After taking a sip of spirits, she licked her dry lips and looked straight at the full moon in the sky, but she heard Nianhua say, "What's your name?" β
"Lin Bao - Ma Lin's Lin Lin, Baby's Treasure."
She confessed, after all, he already knew that she was a woman, so what could he do with a name telling him? He couldn't find anything anyway.
"Lin Bao ......"
He chewed on these two words carefully, and his deep voice was very pleasant with the chirping of cicadas, like a symphony of the night, which was cheerful.
Hearing his name come out of his mouth, Lin Bao's ears turned a little red, and he raised his head and poured himself a big sip of wine.
"That's good."
He muttered, his eyes were a little misty, and his fair cheeks were stained red by drunkenness, and Lin Bao's face was red in comparison.
Shaoqing, he slowly spoke: "Lin Bao, do you know what it's like to like someone in the Dao Dao?" β
Lin Bao took a sip of wine and did not answer, but put his hands on his knees and tilted his head to look at him.
Nianhua took a sip of wine and said: "My parents and I died when Ruyan was a child, and when Ruyan was three years old, a peasant woman kindly took us in. It wasn't until three years ago that my adoptive father and adoptive mother died of illness, and it was time for the imperial examination, that I came to the capital with the only savings I had in my family. β
"Even though we used the money carefully along the way, as soon as we arrived in the capital, we were already penniless, and we didn't even have the money to buy steamed buns. Just when I was disheartened, she appeared-"
Speaking of this, Nianhua took another sip of wine, his eyes were dyed with a faint sadness, and continued: "I still remember when I was sitting at the gate of the broken temple with Ruyan in my arms, and she walked towards me from the misty spring rain with an umbrella......
*
"Childe, is this Sister Ling?"
The woman was dressed in a goose yellow dress, her exquisite hair bun was very playful, and the hosta on it was stained with a few drops of dew, which made her even more beautiful and lovely.
That speech and demeanor, no matter how you look at it, are the daughters of big families.
Nianhua was dressed in a dirty robe, and hurriedly stood up with the sleeping Ruyan, his face embarrassed, and he said embarrassedly: "Girl......"
"Childe doesn't have to be polite, since Sister Ling is asleep, sit on the ground and let her sleep well."
The woman smiled, her eyes as bright as obsidian, and she put away the oil umbrella and sat beside him, with no disgust on her face.
Hearing this, Nianhua had no choice but to sit back on the ground with Ruyan in his arms, the embarrassment in his eyes was still conspicuous, but he said astringently: "In the next mud, let the girl smile." β
Unexpectedly, she just shook her head and asked, "No." It's just that Childe is coming to Beijing to take the exam? β
Nianhua nodded lightly, responded to her words, and said, "It's a pity that I've run out of money now, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch the exam." β
Listening to his words, she pursed her lips and lowered her eyes and pondered for a long time, then took out her purse, handed it to him, and said, "Childe, this is the only place where the little girl can help you." β
"This ...... Girl, what's so embarrassing? Take it back! Nianhua pushed her hand away with a free hand.
The woman stubbornly put the purse in his arms, stood up and held the oil umbrella, walked into the rain, looked back and smiled, and said, "Childe, goodbye." β
With that, she lifted her skirt and ran with an umbrella to the maid who came not far away.
Nianhua looked at the bulging purse in his arms, and the stars were faintly flickering in his eyes.

"Later, when I won the champion and went to look for her again, I learned that she was unwilling to marry her father and hanged herself."
After that, Nianhua gradually lowered his eyes, and the stars in them gradually dimmed.
At this time, the forest is quiet, and the occasional cicada chirps sound, which is very quiet.
After another sip of wine, Nianhua had been brewing words in his heart for a long time, and finally prepared to speak, but when he turned his head, he saw that she was looking at him with a smirk on her cheeks, and an empty wine jug was placed upside down at her feet.
Before he could speak, Lin Bao said first: "Hey, hey, Nianhua, your face is red and white, look good!" β
He was helpless, put down the wine jug in his hand, held her with one hand, and said helplessly: "Lin Bao, you are drunk, I'll send you backββ"
"Hmmβyou're drunk! I'm not drunk yet, I can go back on my own! β
After that, Lin Bao shook off his hand and stood in front of him with a straight body, although his little face was a little red, his eyes were clear, looking at ...... It doesn't look like drunk.
Nianhua frowned, grabbed her wrist, and said, "But it's not safe for you to go back alone-"
Unexpectedly, before she finished speaking, Lin Bao interrupted her, she patted her small breasts and said, "Don't worry, I can go back by myself." Besides, if you send me back, my identity will be revealed! β
Nianhua wanted to come, but seeing her steady pace, he had no choice but to let her go, and when she left, he didn't forget to instruct: "Then be careful on the road." β
"Zhilu Dao! Go back quickly, too. β
Lin Bao waved at him and walked out of the woods with a dashing body of wine.
Nianhua, on the other hand, sighed faintly behind her, and called in a low voice: "Lin Bao......"
It's a pity that she won't hear this voice, along with what he wanted to say before.

"Hiccupβ"
Lin Bao burped and walked crookedly against the palace wall, the scene in front of her was sometimes blurry and sometimes clear, so that she was about to lose the distinction between southeast and northwest.
finally climbed into the small courtyard, and Lin Bao stood at the door and suddenly became messy.
Wait, which direction is her room coming from?
A shake of the little hand, left? - No, it looks like a palace wall on the left.
The little hand shakes again, right? - Hmm, why does she think that the palace wall is on the right?
After struggling for a long time, Lin Bao adopted the most old-fashioned and practical method - ordering soldiers and generals!
ββ¦β¦ I'll go whichever way I click! - Okay, it's on the left! β
Lin Bao happily dragged her tired body to the left, walked straight from memory, and only stopped when she reached the position of the window.
No, what about the steps on this window?
Lin Bao opened her arms in a large font and groped on the palace wall in front of her, suddenly, her fingertips touched a hard thing, and before she could see clearly, she supported her with both hands, kicked her legs, and climbed up the palace wall along the long tree trunk.
Standing on the palace wall, Lin Bao was blowing the cold wind, couldn't help sneezing, and muttered dissatisfiedly: "It seems that you really can't drink in the future, and it's so troublesome to even climb a window when you drink!" β
