Chapter 3 Decision to make concessions

Out of the palace gate, it was still early, Xiao Yuexi was too lazy to go back to listen to Ji Bing's thoughts, so she simply went to the Department of Supervision and Supervision, and it was good to listen to the miscellaneous reports of the people below these days.

Before entering the gate of the Department of Supervision, Xiao Yuexi heard the sound of horses' hooves, and the horse who came from not far away was still an acquaintance.

The man turned over and dismounted, Xiao Yuexi habitually smiled at him, and said hello: "Deputy Envoy Ling, haven't you seen you for some days?" ”

The person who came was none other than Xiao Yuexi's deputy, Ling Suihan, the deputy envoy of the Department of State Supervision.

He was originally from a scholarly family, and his family was a civil official, and his father Ling Shouyi was an important position in the court and the central government such as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites. Ling Suihan is the third oldest in the family, and he is an unusual person. Obsessed with martial arts since childhood, the person he admires most is not his father but a hussar general, he likes to run to the general's mansion since he was a child, after Xiao Yuexi took over the mess of the State Supervision Division, he ran to help without saying a word. The internal system of the Department of Supervision is rigorous, and he has some ability to climb to the position of deputy envoy.

Ling Suihan's facial features are also quite upright, and his sword eyebrows and eagle eyes are very imposing, but he looks like a fierce and vicious debt collector all year round, and his eyebrows have never been smoothed. At this time, too, he looked at Xiao Yuexi with a frown, and said in a low voice: "As soon as I came back, I heard that you were injured, how is it?" ”

Xiao Yuexi: "...... Who did you listen to? "Such a shameful thing has been reported to the Department of Prisons, will she still have the face to see people in the future?

Ling Suihan ignored her expression as if he had swallowed a fly, and said to himself: "Let's go in and talk about it, I will go to the General's Mansion to see that you are not there, so I guessed that you would come back." ”

Xiao Yuexi nodded and stepped into the door of the Department of Supervision first.

The two of them were not in a hurry to catch up, Xiao Yuexi had been gone for more than a month, and the Department of Supervision had a lot of official backlogs, and it was the end of the time after the approval was completed.

After being busy for a long time, he didn't bother to eat a bite, and was hungry and ready to go home, but saw Ling Suihan walking in with food.

Xiao Yuexi was stunned, as if she was so busy that she had completely forgotten about this person, and said in surprise: "Huh? You haven't been home yet, have you? ”

"I didn't bother you when I saw that you were busy, let's eat!" Although he cared, Ling Suihan still said it hard.

Xiao Yuexi was accustomed to it, buried her head in two mouthfuls of food, and frowned and refused to move.

"What's wrong? Not to taste? ”

There was a rare nervousness in Ling Suihan's tone, but Xiao Yuexi didn't realize that she was worried about her own affairs.

Suddenly, Xiao Yuexi sighed, and said endlessly: "You said that the Department of Supervision and State is such a big mess, did you say that you will leave it!" ”

Ling Suihan was puzzled: "Why did you suddenly say this in a dignified manner?" ”

"My sister-in-law...... Forget it, let's not talk about this, I hid a few jars of wine here before I left, you go and help me get it. ”

Xu was thinking too much, Xiao Yuexi's originally clear eyes were a little more confused, and the way she looked when she took off her guard made Ling Suihan lose his mind for a while.

Finding that he didn't move for a long time, Xiao Yuexi came back to her senses, glanced at him suspiciously, raised her hand and shook it in front of him: "What do you think?" Go on! ”

"Huh? Oh! ”

Ling Suihan hurriedly retracted his gaze, got up and went out, leaving Xiao Yuexi looking at his back with a sad face and muttering: "Such a stupid and stupid person, how can I rest assured that the burden will be on his shoulders......"

After a while, the stupid man came back with the wine jar, this time his brows furrowed deeper, the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were full of reproach, and he said: "The girl's family, why are you so hungry for wine!" So much saved? ”

"Tsk!" Xiao Yuexi took the wine glass in his hand and said unhappily: "I just don't want to listen to people when I hide the wine here!" Why did you learn from my sister-in-law? To drink or not to drink? Get out without drinking! ”

Xiao Yuexi herself doesn't remember how she fell in love with such a thing, and she is more or less addicted to alcohol after a long time. Ji Bingxin can't tolerate a woman's addiction to drinking no matter what, there is no way, Xiao Yuexi can only save some wine regularly and hide it in the Department of Prisons, so as not to be nagged by her.

Ling Suihan poured a glass of wine and put it in front of her, poured another glass for herself, and sat down before saying, "It's all for your good, you ......"

"Alright, alright!" Xiao Yuexi waved her hand impatiently to interrupt. "If you nag again, you'll get out!"

Ling Suihan really stopped nagging, sat up as a statue, and looked at Xiao Yuexi silently without saying a word.

The ears were quiet, the corners of Xiao Yuexi's mouth were no longer tight, she raised her glass lazily and drank it all, and no one who had no eyesight could see the loneliness in her eyes, not to mention that Ling Suihan had always been very attentive to Xiao Yuexi's every move.

Watching Xiao Yuexi drink three glasses of wine slowly, Ling Suihan asked out loud, "What?" Is your sister-in-law missing you again? After asking, Ling Suihan himself denied this speculation, Xiao Yuexi has been nagged by her sister-in-law for more than ten years, and she has long been used to it, how could she be poked in the heart casually, and she was so depressed that she wanted to hide in the prison department to borrow wine to drown her sorrows, which was too abnormal.

Xiao Yuexi hooked the corners of her lips, smiling extremely bitterly, she didn't answer Ling Suihan's question, just said: "Don't run away lately, collect your heart, and prepare to pass the assessment to take over my class." ”

Instead of casually throwing this position to someone unfamiliar with it, Xiao Yuexi still trusted Ling Suihan more in his heart. Although he is usually a little wooden, he is probably reliable at critical moments, and the burden of the State Supervision Department is too heavy, so he can hand it over casually, and Xiao Yuexi himself can't rest assured.

Ling Suihan's composure that he had worked so hard to maintain was finally unsustainable, and he asked in amazement, "What do you mean?" What are you doing? ”

"Me? Heh......" Xiao Yuexi played with the wine glass in her hand, and the ridicule in her eyes didn't know whether it was to herself or anyone. After a long time, Xiao Yuexi said very calmly: "Resign and go home, wait for my sister-in-law to marry me off, or recruit a man...... Anyway, it's the kind of husband and son. ”

Raising his eyes, he looked at Ling Suihan, perhaps because of the wine, Xiao Yuexi's reaction was a little sluggish, and he only read the surprise in his eyes, and said with a smile: "Surprised, right?" But that's what my sister-in-law thinks. She guards the huge general's mansion, one guard is ten years, no matter how many gossips outside, she doesn't care, how can you make me bear to refuse her......"

"You ......" outsiders have always only known that Xiao Yuexi and her sister-in-law have a general relationship, and their thoughts are completely opposite, they torture each other on weekdays, but they also have to live under the same roof. But Ling Suihan knew that Xiao Yuexi respected her sister-in-law very much in her heart, and if Ji Bingxin made any important decisions, Xiao Yuexi would choose to give in in the end.

Xiao Yuexi didn't notice Ling Suihan's emotions, and sighed with a smile: "I don't know which family's son she fell in love with, this time my brother came back, could it be for the sake of checking?" Speaking of this, Xiao Yuexi smiled again.

I don't know if it's good or bad for a long way ahead, but she can actually laugh, it's really ......

Ling Suihan's mouth was bitter for a while, and he opened his mouth to say something, but he couldn't say anything.

A jar of wine was empty after a while, Xiao Yuexi pushed away Ling Suihan's hand to pour wine, and said with a wry smile: "Heh! What am I telling you all this for? You know that such a thing is done, go back and work hard, and the Department of Supervision will be handed over to you! ”

As she spoke, she stood up and walked out in three steps, the silver bell hanging from the soft whip hanging from her waist made a loud noise. She said as she walked: "It's not early, I'm going home!" ”

There was silence in the general's mansion, Xiao Yuexi was happy to be quiet, and quietly slipped back to the room, and no one was alarmed.

With the strength of the wine, Xiao Yuexi slept very deeply, and it would have been better if she hadn't been stripped out of the quilt early in the morning.

Half-dead was dragged out of the bed by Ji Bingxin, and as soon as she opened her eyes in a daze, she met her gaze that she couldn't wait to eat people. "I said why did I enter the palace and face the saint and didn't return home for so long, it turned out that I went out to drink instead? Xiao Yuexi! You're getting better and better! ”

Xiao Yuexi sniffed at her arm, but she didn't smell anything, and couldn't help but admire Ji Bingxin's keen sense of smell.

"Sister-in-law, do you have anything important to do this early in the morning? If not, let me sleep for a while......" Xiao Yuexi glanced at her bed with nostalgia, feeling that she was pulled away before she could keep enough of it, it was really inhumane.

When Ji Bingxin heard this, his brows tightened, and the tips of his eyebrows were about to rise to the sky, and he said angrily: "What time are you still sleeping??" Hurry up and get dressed and come out! ”

Hearing the change of clothes, Xiao Yuexi came to her senses, and instinctively glanced behind Ji Bingxin, and sure enough, Mu Lan was holding a thick stack of clothes and squeezing her eyebrows.

Really......

Over the years, running everywhere, those ladies and ladies have worn graceful and luxurious and complicated costumes, and Xiao Yuexi has never been used to wearing them. Ji Bingxin tortured her with such a bunch of things, it was better to preach in her ear directly!

listlessly allowed Mu Lan and Mu Kom to put the layers of Luo skirts on themselves, and the long hair that was tied up high in order to save trouble also fell out and re-combed into a complicated hairstyle, Xiao Yuexi was surprised to find that although these two girls usually didn't need to comb her hair, their skills were not put down.

After hastily having breakfast, Xiao Yuexi walked out of the room top-heavy with a hair ornament that weighed like a thousand catties, only to know that these were all appetizers. When she was wearing an extremely obstructive dress, holding a thousand pounds of head, and walking in the yard with small steps all morning still failed to achieve the effect that Ji Bing was satisfied with, Xiao Yuexi wanted to pick her son and leave for a moment.

Ji Bingxin didn't realize it, and stood in the courtyard with her all morning, the tip of her nose was also red from the cold, but her sharp spirit was unabated, and she said coldly: "I can't even take a single step, won't I want to make people laugh at my general's mansion for not having a tutor in the future?" Keep going! If you can't walk, don't eat! ”

Xiao Yuexi didn't care, she was often so busy that she couldn't take care of eating, and it really didn't matter if she ate one or two meals less, but Ji Bingxin had stood with her for so long, it was really hard to say if she could eat it.
