Heavy rain poured down between the bluestone alleys.

Xu Buling held an oil-paper umbrella and led the horse to the outside of Sun's shop.

The old wine shop that has been open in the alley for many years is still the same as before, with three wine tables, several wine vats, and yellow wine flags swaying in the wind and rain. It is such an ordinary wine shop, but it carries the memories of many people.

When the son drank wine here today, Princess Su and King Su got married here, and Ning Qingye's parents met here and wanted to fall in love......

An ordinary liquor shop with no background, relying on a mouthful of throat-burning liquor, connects all kinds of people from all over the world, the north and the south, like a special haven on the rivers and lakes, which does not belong to the rivers and lakes but is inseparable from the rivers and lakes.

Rustle Rustle –

The bean-sized raindrops smashed on the oil-paper umbrella and slid down the umbrella bones.

Xu Buling came to the fence of the wine store and took out the wine gourd in his hand:

"Shopkeeper, come to the pot of wine."

Because of the heavy rain, there were no customers in the wine shop, and the old shopkeeper Sun, who was wiping everywhere, raised his eyes, and then showed a little smile:

"Childe is here, I haven't seen you for a long time, or is it the old rule?"

Xu Buling chuckled, looked at the 'Broken Jade Burn' that he had drunk for more than a year, and might be difficult to drink again in the future, and muttered for a moment:

"I heard that the shopkeeper has better wine here, and I have been here for more than a year, and I haven't seen the shopkeeper take it out."

When Shopkeeper Sun heard this, he wiped his hands with a towel:

"It's really not that the little old man doesn't take it out, this person, once he drinks it better, he will lose the taste if he drinks the broken jade burning. It's better to look forward to the wine you like than to never look forward to it in the future......"

Xu Buling chuckled: "It is estimated that I have to quit jade burning, and I have to taste it so that I don't have regrets." ”

Shopkeeper Sun looked at it a few times, was slightly silent, shook his head and chuckled:

"Your father seems to have said the same thing back then...... That's it, there is still half a jar left, fill a pot for the son, and have a chance to see Xiao Xu in the future...... No, it should be Lao Xu, help the little old man ask if he is greedy, and he said that he should not drink it......"

Between the words, Shopkeeper Sun entered the back room with a towel, took out half a jar of old wine, and poured it into the wine gourd, cautiously, with a few pieces of reluctance in the corners of his eyes.

Xu Buling stood in the alley with an umbrella and looked up at the old wine shop:

"Shopkeeper Sun is interested in the future, you can go to Suzhou to open a shop, there is a spring under the city, its water is like wine, where the spring water, but it is a good thing to make wine."

Shopkeeper Sun filled the wine, shook his head and sighed: "I have opened a wine shop in the alley for a lifetime, how many people have been talking for many years, just to come to the capital to taste it, as soon as the little old man leaves, won't they all have to return disappointed, and they can't go......"

Xu Buling chuckled lightly and said no more.

After a while, the wine gourd was full, Xu Buling took it and smelled it, the rich wine aroma was refreshing, making it difficult for people to hold themselves up.

However, Xu Buling hesitated for a moment, still didn't drink, hung the wine gourd around his waist, and walked out of the bluestone alley with an umbrella.

The rain was pouring down.

Shopkeeper Sun had a towel on his shoulder, and watched the back of the white cloth disappear into the rain.

The scene seems familiar, the prodigal who was known as the 'Four Evils of the Capital' once held a pot of wine like this, walked out of the alley calmly, and never looked back.

In a trance, it seems to be a reincarnation.

The slight difference is that this time there is one less woman by the side of the man in white.

Shopkeeper Sun was silent for a long time, and finally sighed softly:

"In the blink of an eye, it's another generation......"

------

The rainy weather was a little cooler, and the 'Lock Dragon Gu' naturally calmed down, so Xu Buling took this opportunity to enter the palace and visit the Queen Mother's baby for the last time.

At noon, Xu Buling's carriage came to the outside of Changle Palace.

I thought that Qiao'e and Bu Yuan would greet them outside the palace gate, but to Xu Buling's great disappointment, a few palace maids with crooked melons and cracked dates stood at the door.

There is also a carriage parked outside the palace gate, with a wooden sign with the word 'Xiao' hanging on it, and Hua Jingting, the chief butler of the Xiao family in Huainan, stands under the eaves with a folding fan to avoid the rain.

Xu Buling stepped out of the carriage, and when he saw this scene, he naturally understood that Miss Xiao was in the palace, and his mood was suddenly a little complicated.

But it's all here, and I can't just go home.

Xu Buling got out of the carriage, walked into the Changle Palace, and went to the main hall of the Queen Mother's bedroom under the leadership of the palace maid.

The rainstorm outside the hall rustled with a bit of coolness, and the atmosphere in the main hall was not much better.

The moment Xu Buling stepped into the main hall, he obviously felt that the atmosphere in the room had changed slightly, and the silence was a little weird.

Looking up, in the wide and tidy main hall, two glamorous beauties with no difference in appearance sat on the soft couch, green silk like ink and apricot eyes like spring water, and the gourd-like bewitching figure did not need to be deliberately displayed to see the bottom of the picture, and the dignified sitting posture added a bit of maturity, but the temperament and dress of the two were slightly different.

The queen mother wore a fiery red phoenix skirt, embellished with patterns outlined in gold wire, stepped on red palace boots, and a golden hairpin was inserted between her hair buns, her face was very bright, and her red lips were as fresh and green as cherries, which made people want to bite when they looked at it, and they were obviously carefully dressed.

And Xiao Qi is dressed in a long black skirt, plain and light, and her hair is also the style of Miss Unquite, draped on her back, only a hairpin is inserted between her hair, and her temperament is much more cold and serious.

"See the Queen Mother, Miss Xiao."

Xu Buling's face did not change, he did not show any unusual expression, and walked up to him and raised his hand.

The Queen Mother was obviously a little panicked, but at this time she was quite stable, and her demeanor was noble and bowed:

"Ling'er, sit down."

Xiao Qi's expression was not shocked, but the embroidered shoes under the skirt obviously moved a few times, revealing the turmoil in her heart. She glanced at Xu Buling plainly, and then nodded politely:

"See the Son."

"Miss Xiao doesn't have to be polite."

Xu Buling smiled and sat on the chair next to the soft couch, only two steps away from the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother forcibly suppressed the inextricable threads in her heart, but she still subconsciously moved to the side, kept her distance from Xu Buling, and said softly:

"I heard that you have been injured recently, and this palace can't go out of the palace to visit, so I have to bother you to come...... How's it got? ”

Xu Buling chuckled, and behaved elegantly and easily: "I've been used to it for a long time, thank you for the Queen Mother's concern." ”

"Oh......"

The Queen Mother smiled and nodded, then pursed her lips, glanced at Xu Buling, and hurriedly turned away, having nothing to say.

There was silence in the main hall, and the silence was a little terrifying......
