When Ji Ning returned home, it was already the third watch, and Yu Ling was already sleepy, but it was not very cold at home, because Lin Juan'er came over to light the fire very early, and even prepared hot water for Ji Ning to bathe.

"Young master, the slave is so sleepy, can the slave and maid go to rest first?"

On the one hand, Yu Ling had a certain degree of defensiveness and hostility towards Lin Juan'er, but on the other hand, her spirit was a little unbearable, so she simply went to rest first, leaving Lin Juan'er to take care of Ji Ning.

Ji Ning soaked the cloth in hot water, and after wiping his face, he felt refreshed and said, "Rest early, Miss Lin, you also go back to rest first, let you wait until now, it's hard work!" ”

Lin Juan'er was a little embarrassed and said: "Master Ji, my brother and sister-in-law have already said, you let the slave maid be a girl in your house now, and you can't go back easily in the future, and the slave and maid will stay here to take care of you...... And the living of this sister. ”

This is a bit of a matter of attaching to Ji Ning, after all, Lin Yi has already gone back, Lin Yi seems to attach great importance to Ji Ning's identity and status, this is only yesterday, that day he saw Ji Ning take out 20,000 taels of silver at a time, without even blinking his eyes, and his admiration for Ji Ning in his heart is even more incomprehensible.

Not to mention Lin Yi, who was born in the market, even Tang Xie and others were all admired by Ji Ning before.

Ji Ning said: "But here...... There doesn't seem to be any other place to rest. ”

"Master Ji, you don't have to worry, there is a small bed in the room next to you, when you go to do something big, the slave maid has already cleaned up over there, and the slave can sleep there!" Lin Juan'er said.

Ji Ning glanced at the room next door, because there was no electric light at all these days, and all the space was very dark, after all, the light of the candle was not too far away.

Here in Ji Ning, there are still enough candles at night, even if ordinary people use small oil lamps, it is also to save tung oil, after all, not every household can use the lamp, sunrise and sunset, is the law of life that ordinary people must follow.

As for other spiritual entertainment life, I don't even have to think about it.

Ji Ning nodded and said, "Since you want to stay, light a lamp and go over, rest first, you don't have to get up early tomorrow morning, you can come back later, and you can prepare the futon...... Forget it, it's better to go out and find someone to make a set first, since you want to come over to help, you are a member of this family, there is a little scattered silver, you take it, you will be responsible for the expenses of the family in the past few days! ”

Originally, Ji Ning handed over these things to Yu Ling to do, but now Yu Ling is sick, and Yu Ling is not suitable for life in the north, so Yu Ling will always look very lazy.

"Master Ji, no, your silver...... How dare a slave or maid take it? It's better to leave it to my sister. Lin Juan'er is the same age as Yu Ling, in fact, I don't know who is older, but out of respect for Yu Ling, Lin Juan'er calls Yu Ling her sister at this time.

Ji Ning smiled: "Don't worry, she also has money over there, and she will still be in charge of the accounts in the future, but you are still responsible for her illness these days, I will feel at ease!" ”

"Yes, Master Ji!" Lin Juan'er is not a pedantic person, whatever Ji Ning says, she will comply, after all, now she is not squandering with silver, but just ensuring the daily expenses in the small courtyard.

……

……

Although Ji Ning drank two glasses of wine that night, he was not sleepy, and in the dead of night, he was more energetic, so he chose to sit down and continue reading.

After coming to this world, his hard reading was not to learn the knowledge in books, but to try to write articles, so that his writing was more similar to that of a reader living in this era.

In the middle of the night, Ji Ning was about to go to rest, when he suddenly felt a black shadow that seemed to shake in the yard.

He was very alert, and because there were often some high-ranking people in his yard to disturb him, he didn't alarm Yu Ling and Lin Juan'er, but slowly walked to the door of the house, opened the door, and saw a dark shadow standing on the courtyard wall.

The north wind was a little cold, and the clothes were fluttering, Ji Ning really had the illusion of seeing a fairy, but after he saw the person clearly, there would be a strange mood fluctuating in his heart, this person was not an outsider, it was in this world that he had a skin-to-skin kiss, and he was the only woman he had a relationship with after coming here.

Shangguan Wan'er.

Because Shangguan Wan'er came too suddenly, Ji Ning had never rehearsed this plot before, so he didn't know what to say for a while.

On the contrary, Shangguan Wan'er walked over first, suddenly raised her long sword, and pointed it at Ji Ning's neck.

"Miss Shangguan, what is this for?" Ji Ning frowned.

"Do you think I'm going to kill you because of something?" When Shangguan Wan'er said this, her face also changed, but unfortunately Ji Ning couldn't see it clearly, after all, it was a dark and windy night, "Some things, what the reason is, I know it, and I won't care about it." But you helped the thief to take away the oracle bone sacrifice, that is your fault, I am here for this matter! ”

Only then did Ji Ning know what was going on, he nodded and said, "That's right, it was I who left the oracle bone sacrifice in the dry well that day, so that those people could find it!" ”

"Did you admit it?" Shangguan Wan'er seemed to be very angry, "I thought you would continue to deny it, but I didn't expect you to admit it so frankly, Ji Ning, I think you are a dignified gentleman, will you also do such an unseemly deed?" What's in it for you? ”

was blamed, Ji Ning could have explained himself, but he still didn't know the purpose of Shangguan Wan'er's coming to the capital.

In other words, he still doesn't know who Shangguan Wan'er is doing things for now.

Ji Ning said: "If you want to kill, you have to chop, listen to it!" ”

Shangguan Wan'er glared at Ji Ning, and after a long time, she finally lost her breath, put down the long sword, and couldn't help coughing twice. Ji Ning said with concern: "Are you okay?" ”

"You don't care if I live or die." Shangguan Wan'er reprimanded, "I thought you were a righteous gentleman, but I didn't expect you to be a villain, when I misjudged you before...... Ahem! ”

After more than a month, Shangguan Wan'er's body still hadn't healed, Ji Ning stepped forward and said: "Since your body hasn't recovered, don't go around, do you really think that you are a heroine and can be invincible?" ”

"What did you say?" Shangguan Wan'er glared at the "nosy" Ji Ning.

Ji Ning directly grabbed Shangguan Wan'er's wrist and carefully probed his pulse, it seemed that he was checking Shangguan Wan'er's injury, but in fact, he was investigating whether Shangguan Wan'er was pregnant with his flesh and blood, he didn't want his flesh and blood to be left on such a woman who came and went without a trace, and he clearly knew that when Shangguan Wan'er committed to him that day, it was the first time.
