It was late at night, the rain had not stopped, most of the shops in the back alleys of the market were closed, and in the dim rain curtain, two lanterns hanging under the cornices lit up with a dim yellow light, reflecting the word 'Yang' on the rain-soaked pavement.

On a rainy night in late autumn, there were already no guests on the road, and the proprietress Meng Hua cleaned up the inside and outside of the shop, standing under the eaves, looking at the entrance of the back alley.

The little girl may be a little tired, rubbing her eyes and standing next to her, muttering:

“…… Today's chubby sister is so powerful, she has been to the capital, and she has been a fast catcher......"

"People are not fat ......"

"It doesn't look fat, why is my chest bulging more than my mother? The big pigtailed sister next to her is mediocre......"

"You'll know it when you grow up......"

While the mother and daughter were gossiping, there was a sound of footsteps in the alley, and three men who were on an errand in the dart bureau, carrying lanterns and oil-paper umbrellas, came over during the chat, led by Yang Tuyue, who was in contact with Chang Shijian in the afternoon.

Coming to the front of the shop, the two dart masters called their sister-in-law kindly, and after Yang Tuyue said goodbye, he put away the umbrella under the eaves and raised his hand to rub it on the top of his daughter's head.

Meng Hua stepped forward to catch the umbrella and sorted out her husband's robe that had splashed some rain:

"Xianggong, why did you come back so late?"

"Yes, a few out-of-town guests came today, so generous, ordered all the dishes......"

"There's something going on with the dart game, so I'm going out for a few drinks."

Yang Yuyue put down the waist knife she was carrying and sat down at the table by the window, with food still on it.

The family of three sat together, Meng Hua served the food and looked at her husband a few times:

"But the people of the boat gang are pulling Xianggong to do big things? Alas~ The boat gang can't go, the sons of several families in the alley, run to the boat gang to mingle, and the money earned by going south and north is fast, but it can be said that it is really gone, and the daily harvest of this small shop is enough for the family......"

Maybe the daughters-in-law in the world like to be verbose, and the little girl next to her has listened to it many times, covering her ears and pouting.

Yang Tuyue shook his head and looked flat: "Don't think about it, the boat gang is also a dart, and it is not much different from what I am doing now, where do I run." ”

Meng Hua nodded, sat between her husband and daughter, and smiled:

"The dart bureau is running nearby, and they will come back in two or three days, and the boat gang will go for less than three months and more than half a year, and I will listen to the guests who come and go from the south to the north, it is very dangerous to run the boat, there are many bandits on the rivers and lakes, and it is good not to meet it, and it is good to rob the boat, in order not to be discovered, it is a boatload of murder ......."

Smack—

Yang Tuyue slapped her chopsticks on the table and looked at her daughter next to her: "The girl is here, what do the guests in the store know, they are all full of empty words, and they will not listen to it in the future." I didn't go to the boat gang, I stayed in Yueyang and saved the dowry for the girl. ”

The little girl grinned: "When will I get married, I met a brother today, he looks so handsome, much more handsome than his father......"

"You girl, how can you have your father?"

"Alas~ girl, this is ...... grown up"

A light in the window is like a bean, with the gag of the little girl, the laughter of the small door and the small household, as in the past, into the rain curtain, Xu Buling's first day in Yueyang, it ended so plainly......

————

The next morning, the east turned white, but the rain did not stop.

On the boat by the lake, the palace guards began to change shifts, and the maids who got up early made breakfast by lighting a fire in the kitchen, and the girls in each room had not yet gotten up.

At this time in the past, the earliest one should have been Ning Yuhe, who was a Taoist priest, but last night he took care of Xiao Manzhi, who was drunk and rolled in bed, and had to listen to the story, Ning Yuhe was busy for half the night, and he hadn't woken up yet.

And Xiao Xiang'er, who has insomnia all the year round in the palace and is used to getting up late, is the first to get up today and stand on the terrace behind the building boat to think about life.

The cold wind blowing the long hair in the late autumn morning, and the faint mist and rain make the surface of Dongting Lake look hazy and ethereal.

Xiao Xiang'er held on to the railing with her hand, gently rubbing her somewhat sore legs, and her seductive eyes were a little embarrassed.

What did I say last night......

Xiao Xiang's childhood bit his lower lip from time to time, looked back, and was a little afraid to enter the house.

Yesterday, she took the medicine prepared by Zhongli Jiujiu, and drank it with Xu Buling in order to try how effective it was.

Judging from her feelings, she didn't notice any effect of the medicine, not even feelings.

Judging from the effect, it is obviously amazing, she shook out all the words in her heart, what 'I liked it at first sight, I like to be domineering, and the detoxification is all ......about making excuses', where should she say it, how can she Xiao Xianger be such a shameless woman.

But she just said it, and she remembered it clearly, she felt that she didn't have a brain to speak at that time, she just wanted to speak, she wanted to pour out what was in her heart, and give it to her favorite person, hoping to be recognized and satisfied, and hoping to see the moving look in the other party's eyes......

That's it, anyway, it's the truth, it's just a little numb, but in the end, when it comes to the quilt, it's too much......

As long as my brother likes it, he can ...... it anywhere

Brother Ling is heaven, the baby doesn't want anything, don't leave me satisfied......

Phew!

He thinks beautifully......

Xiao Xiang'er frowned, she never thought that she was that kind of stupid woman, she was the daughter of the Xiao family in Huainan, how could she be honestly managed by a man, this medicine seems to have a problem, and she can't take it in the future...... It's almost ...... to Hongluan

But Xu Buling must have remembered that guy, what should I do with this joke......

Murder of her husband? …… Definitely not......

By the way, pretend to be dizzy...... Just say I don't remember, anyway, it's not the first time, I didn't have a note last night, what can you do with me......

Xiao Xiang'er thought like this, her expression kept changing, and she slowly calmed herself down......

In the back room of the bedroom, the candle flame on the dressing table has burned out, the sky is not bright, and the light is still dim.

Xu Buling had already woken up, sitting on the edge of the bed, holding his forehead with both hands, and his posture was similar to that of touching Miss Xiao by mistake.

"What the hell ......"

Xu Buling's cold eyes were puzzled, and his brows were furrowed, thinking about what happened last night.

Eating color is also, and it is polite to be affectionate.

Xu Buling never regarded himself as a gentleman, but he still attached great importance to etiquette, and the biggest difference between humans and animals was to control their nature and desires, that is, self-cultivation; And the so-called 'etiquette' is a manifestation of the desire to control the original.

But last night, Xu Buling was obviously rude.

First of all, he couldn't control his mouth, he said everything that should be said and shouldn't be said, and he even touched Aunt Lu a few times and shook out, and talked about a lot of messy things, airplanes, cannons, TVs, and self-proclaimed Northwest Field Teddy......

Xu Buling's cold eyebrows are full of lovelessness, usually thinking about it, how can he say it?

How do babies explain when they ask......

Looking at the wine jug next to him, Xu Buling squinted slightly.

Do you want to pretend to be drunk?

How can you get drunk with just such a drink......

By the way, I drank a lot in the shop yesterday......

Stomp –

While Xu Buling was thinking about it, Xiao Xiang'er walked into the house from the terrace.

Finding that Xu Buling woke up, Xiao Xiang'er's tangled face stiffened slightly, and she hurriedly put on a dignified posture, and said softly:

"Woke up so early?"

Xu Buling rubbed his forehead and smiled: "I drank too much outside yesterday, and my head hurts a little...... Did I get drunk and talk nonsense last night? ”

Xiao Xiang'er blinked her beautiful eyes, walked to her and sat down, and raised her hand to help Xu Buling press her temples:

"It's not nonsense, it's good to start with...... Then you picked me up, and I ...... I fainted, and I can't remember ......."

"Oh......"

Xu Buling secretly breathed a sigh of relief, returned to his former cold appearance, and smiled a little:

"It's still early, it's raining again, let's sleep again."

"Hmm."

Xiao Xiang'er lifted the quilt, lay down on Xu Buling's arm in a proper manner, and secretly glanced at the small wine jug.

The wind and rain outside the window are still there, and it seems that last night's incident has never happened......
