Ye Jielu stayed in the palace for two days, but the emperor still drove him back to the palace, and asked to bring Ming Lanying to see him three days later, "I am already considerate of your lady, you are dragging me not to see me, I will order Song Shanshan to be carried into your mansion in advance tomorrow!" ”

Ye Jielu was helpless, and took advantage of the night to sneak back home, and was bumped into on the roof by Hebai, who came out to forage at night.

"Brother? Why do you have to go to the roof when you go home at night? ”

Ye Jielu frowned and asked, "What are you doing on the roof without sleeping at night?" ”

Ye Jielu frowned, Hebai reflexively hugged his head, and said aggrievedly: "I haven't sold my sister-in-law miserably for you, but my sister-in-law won't let me eat tonight......"

Ye Jielu clenched his fists, feeling helpless and headache for Ming Lanying, but he was reluctant to be really angry with her.

Fan Yue explained to him that this time it was just a misunderstanding, but after explaining, it made him even more angry. If it wasn't what Ning'er begged for this time, then next time, she might make a belt for another man unintentionally, she was so good, no one would refuse her.

"Did your sister-in-law sleep?"

"Slept, but she didn't live in the room you arranged for her, she picked a spacious yard for herself, and ...... on the other side"

Without waiting for Hebai to finish speaking, Ye Jielu raised his anger and flew to the courtyard on the other side of the mansion, Hebai just wanted to shout a reminder, but in the dead of night it was not good to disturb people's dreams, so he went with him again and again, and went to the kitchen to find food in the muttering.

"I also want to remind him to be careful of cubs, what are you doing in such a hurry......"

In the dead of night, it seemed that Ye Jielu's breathing and movement were a little louder, a slight noise on the roof, and then a slight sound of ground friction at the door, The wolf cub next to Ming Lanying's bed immediately raised his head, and his dark blue eyes looked out of the door vigilantly.

With a squeak, the carved wooden door was gently pushed open, Ye Jielu was surprised that the door did not latch, and he had not stepped into it yet, and his years of critical reaction made him immediately withdraw his foot and dodge to the side.

The cold moonlight squeezed into the room, and a snow-white figure hunched over, staring at him fiercely with its teeth bared in an offensive posture, like a silent hunter.

Ye Jielu was stunned for a moment, and when he saw its sharp teeth, he realized that it was a snow wolf, and was surprised why the snow wolf appeared in his mansion. Subconsciously worried about the safety of Ming Lanying, he pulled out the short sword on his waist and was about to fight to the death with the snow wolf.

"Cub, come back."

Ming Lanying's lazy voice suddenly came out, Ye Jielu swung his sword for a moment, the snow wolf glanced at Ye Jielu vigilantly, turned around and ran towards the house, Ye Jielu silently withdrew the short sword.

I really killed this wolf just now, and I almost cut down this snow wolf, forgetting the special ability of Ming Lanying.

He walked up his foot into the house, and closed the door with his hand, but the moonlight could not enter the inner room, and when the door was closed, it was pitch black, except for two dim blue lights on the side of the bed, which kept staring at him.

Ye Jielu lit two lamps in black, and then he saw the scene in the house clearly, Ming Lanying was wearing a light bedclothes, supporting her body and half leaning on a soft pillow, her collar was slightly open, revealing her slender and fragile neck and collarbone, her long hair was scattered behind her, a few strands of broken hair slipped down against her shoulders, her beautiful eyes were half-closed, and her slender hands lazily touched the wolf on the side of the bed.

The beauty yawned, her eyes were covered with a layer of moisture, sparkling, making people itch, her eyelashes were gently raised, and she glanced at Ye Juelu lightly, her voice was soft and glutinous, and she could cut off half of her body, "What are you doing here in the middle of the night?" ”

Ye Jielu's breathing was a little shorter by this eye, and his heart was a little restless, "I...... Come and see you. ”

"Look at me?" Ming Lanying smiled lightly, "What do I have to look at?" ”

"You're good-looking."

Ming Lanying rolled her eyes, "Aren't you so busy that you live directly in the palace?" Not busy now? ”

Ye Jielu cleared his throat weakly, "You're done, aren't you going to explain anything to me?" ”

"Explain what? Ning'er is older, sleeping in the next room, this is a cub, a little male wolf, I picked it up in the side after you left. Fan Yue should have already told you, I have nothing to explain. ”

Ye Jielu put one hand on his belt, and when he picked them up at the city gate, he didn't see the wolf, he should have been hidden in the carriage, but he didn't care about the wolf now.

Some aggrieved pulled the silver waist chain, "I thought you accepted me......"

"Ning'er begged what I wanted, I couldn't do it, it didn't make any sense." Ming Lanying said two words, and most of her spirit was awake, and she stroked the snow wolf's head, and the snow wolf snorted comfortably, "I have also seriously considered your words, you are the one who does great things for the emperor, we are not suitable." ”

The silver chain made a dull sound, and Ye Juelu's eyes darkened, "Whether it is suitable or not can only be known after it has passed, I am indeed doing things for the emperor, but one yard is one yard, I can't look down on anyone except you, you give me a chance, it's also for Ning'er." ”

Ye Jielu silently apologized to his son in his heart, and for the happiness of their family, he could only use his son to drag her for the time being.

Ming Lanying is very clear about her plan, making money to raise her son is the first priority; Then buy a house and open a shop, and use money to make money is secondary; Finally, I travel around the world, to see the customs of this world, and when I am tired, I will pick a favorite place and live for the rest of my life.

There is no love in the future she is planning.

"For Ning'er, I will also give him more love, but I can't live up to wasting your feelings, you will have better."

"I just want you, and you're the best." Ye Jielu glanced at her deeply, "You just need to give me a chance to pursue you, I will try to make you like me, I will always wait for you." ”

Ming Lanying looked at him quietly, there was no emotion in Gu Pansheng's eyes, Ye Jielu got up and blew out the light, "You rest early, I'll go next door to accompany Ning'er." ”

The door was gently closed, and in the darkness, Ming Lanying slowly lay down, one hand hanging out of the bed and pinching the wolf cub's ear, and the wolf cub gently bit her.

"What do you think of him, cub?"

In all respects, Ye Jielu is a very good object, now that he has resumed his official position, he has money and power, he has a good face and figure, he is also high in business, and his martial arts are also strong, he is a fragrant bait that everyone fights for, and it is difficult not to be moved by such a man's affectionate confession.

But love is not in her plan, she has lived two lives, and she has never taken love seriously, after all, wise people don't fall in love, and men will only affect the speed at which she makes money......

But she is a Yan dog, she doesn't want to admit that she has been bewitched by Ye Juelu's face and figure, as well as that affection, and her heart has been shaken. Ah, it's annoying!

The wolf cub sneezed and shook his head, "Not good. ”

Ming Lanying stroked the wolf's action, the wolf is one of the creatures that matures quickly, and the wolf cub opened in less than a year, which surprised her.

"Cub, you can speak, as smart as your mother."

"Whew......"

I didn't bother to think about it for half the night, and I fell asleep in a daze, and I was woken up by the wolf cub's licking hand the next day.

The wolf cub licked her and said, "Wake up, someone is looking for you to play." ”

Ming Lanying blindly guessed that Tang Ning was looking for her, raised her hand and ravaged the wolf cub fiercely, "Wake up, wake up, don't lick it, slimy." ”

It was bright outside, Ming Lanying squinted and got up, and Ning Er laughed heartily outside the door, "Daddy is pushing the heights!" ”

When Ming Lanying came out after washing, she saw that there was suddenly an extra swing in the yard overnight, and Ye Jielu pushed Ning'er to swing.

The wolf cub came out after her and stretched out in the clearing.

"Mother! Come on, Daddy is back! ”

The wolf cub bit the hem of her skirt and dragged it out, Ming Lanying smiled and waved her hand to Ning Er, "Have a good time with your father today, someone is looking for her mother, and her mother has something to go out." ”

"Good! Mother come back early! ”

Ye Jielu glanced at her departing back, and didn't ask, pushing the swing gradually became a little absent-minded, Ning Er looked up at him suspiciously, "Daddy, are you worried about your mother?" ”

Ye Jielu snorted, and pushed the swing in his hand, "Ning'er, do you know who is looking for your mother?" ”

Ning Er tilted her head, "It should be Sister Tang Ning, have you forgotten Daddy?" ”

Ye Juelu suddenly realized, and his hanging heart was also put down, that day at the city gate, Tang Ning made an appointment with Ming Lanying to go out to play before leaving, "Dad forgot, but now I remember." ”

Ning Er suddenly said to Ye Juelu: "Daddy, Imperial Doctor Zhao secretly asked Ning Er to tell you that her mother is the kind of person who is most likely to be soft-hearted. ”

Ye Jielu was silent, and for the first time looked at his son with a scrutinizing gaze, "Ning'er, where did you memorize the three-character scripture?" ”

Ning Er smiled proudly, "The three-character scripture has been memorized in plenary session!" There are also thousand-character texts, 100 family names, four-word miscellaneous words and six-word miscellaneous words, and the enlargement of Xianwen, kindergarten Qionglin, filial piety, and the annals of Chinese culture have also been read! Now I'm learning four books, and it's a little hard to remember, so my mother said take your time. ”

Ye Jielu was silent, his son is smart and clever, he knows, not speaking before does not mean that he can't learn and think, after being able to speak, his learning ability has improved by leaps and bounds, and he unexpectedly knows more than children of the same age, and his mind is more mature.

Coupled with some of Imperial Physician Zhao's petty selfishness, sometimes he will teach him how to distinguish some of the thoughts of adults, resulting in him now always being keenly guessed by some emotional contradictions between him and Ming Lanying.

"Ning'er, don't poke her in front of your mother in the future, your mother will be unhappy."

will also be embarrassed to want to beat people, and adults are sometimes duplicitous.

"Hmmm! Ning'er knows! ”

The wolf cub dragged her all the way to the lobby of the front hall, and Ming Lanying saw a familiar tall figure through the blackout bamboo curtain, and her eyes lit up.

"Ah Ning!"

Tang Ning heard the sound and saw Ming Lanying with a happy face, and couldn't help but smile at the corner of his mouth, "Lanying, you don't even have a subordinate in this mansion, fortunately, the wolf cub smelled my smell and came out, otherwise I wouldn't know how to see you." ”

She didn't know that Ye Jielu was not at home, so she didn't dare to go to the backyard to find her, even if she was trying to let go of her former feelings now, she still had to avoid suspicion cautiously.

The wolf cub rubbed the Ming Lanying and got a reward, "Hebai doesn't know where to run, there are only a few people who sweep and sprinkle, and I have arranged to work only for two hours in the morning. ”

"I know what you think, you don't want to stay in the capital for long, and it will only add to the trouble if you want so many people." Tang Ning took out a piece of jerky from the bag on his waist and fed it to the wolf cub, "Let's go, I'll take you to see the most beautiful scenery in the capital today." ”

Ming Lanying glanced at her neat horse dress, and then at the light skirt on her body, "You wait for me to change into a more convenient clothes." ”

Tang Ning smiled and shook his head, "It's okay, I brought a carriage today, I'll drive you a carriage, let's go." ”

"Okay, then I'll trouble you!"

Ming Lanying patted the wolf cub and asked it to go back to accompany Ning'er, and hooked up with Tang Ning to play.

Tang Ning grew up in the capital since she was a child, and even if she has been doing business abroad for many years, she is still very familiar with the capital that has not changed for a hundred years. The Tang family is also a scholarly family, a big family in the capital, the eldest daughter is now the emperor's concubine, full of glory, but the second daughter went to business, and the support of the Tang family does not mean that no one in the circle is behind her back.

After all, Shinong Industry and Commerce have studied hard for decades, in order to be able to achieve a first-class career. The status of merchants has always been low, and even if they don't despise merchants so much now, there are still some self-righteous and pretentious aristocrats who will maintain their contempt and disdain for merchants.

This is also one of the reasons why Ming Lanying doesn't want to stay in the capital, there are many rules in the capital, and there are many old-fashioned and pedantic families, she is Ye Juelu's nominal wife, and she is also the wife of the leader of the three products, but she is also half a businessman with a copper smell.

If you can't melt into the circle, there is no need to squeeze into it desperately, and then maybe the bamboo basket will be empty.

The carriage kicked and trampled all the way from the capital to the suburbs, from the flat mountain road all the way up, to a Hanshan Temple on the top of the mountain, and did not stop, directly bypassing the temple and going up the back mountain.

The incense in Hanshan Temple is okay, there are not a few people coming and going on the mountain, the scenery along the way is fresh and eye-catching, Ming Lanying was lying by the window, and said to Tang Ning in surprise: "You won't take me to the deserted mountain, and then kill people and throw corpses, right?" ”

Tang Ning slapped the horse's buttocks funny, "How can I be willing to kill you, of course such a beautiful beautiful girl has to sell it for a good price." ”

Ming Lanying laughed and pushed her, "Joke with me, you are also very beautiful, when the time comes, people will think that they will buy one and get one free, and they will earn it!" ”

In the laughter, the carriage arrived in front of a mountain cliff pavilion in the back mountain, Tang Ning reined in the horse, Ming Lanying jumped off the carriage and stretched his waist, the cliff was surrounded by a half-person high wooden fence, the hexagonal pavilion stood at the highest place, and the whole green and dense forest under the mountain can be seen from the pavilion.

The spring breeze blows, and it is so comfortable that people can't help but open their arms and embrace this spring light.

Ming Lanying did exactly that, squinting slightly and looking down at the bustling capital, letting the spring breeze pass through her fingertips and blow her skirt and long hair.

"Ah Ning, this place is beautiful, how did you find out?"

"I knew you'd like it." Tang Ning glanced across the mountains, looked at the exquisite buildings in the capital, and said with a smile: "I was not in good health when I was young, my grandmother took me to Hanshan Temple to eat fast and chant Buddha for a while, my body is not good but my temperament is wild, I ran all over the mountains, found this place, and then I will come here when I am bored." In spring and summer, the mountains are verdant and lush; In autumn, the forest is dyed, and the mountains are full of red leaves; When it snows in winter, the whole world is covered in snow, and it seems that I am the only one in the world. ”

"As long as you stand here, overlooking the capital in the distance, the wind will blow away your troubles."

Ming Lanying stretched out her hand and tapped her cheek, "Such a beautiful scenery, it's a pity that there is only a pot of wine missing, the mountain has an aura attached to the county, and the wine reflects the beautiful scenery." ”

Tang Ning smiled, and out of nowhere conjured a jar of wine, "It's been a long time since I've met someone who has such an appetite for me as you." ”

Ming Lanying couldn't help laughing, took over the wine jar and couldn't wait to lift the soft stopper, and the sweet aroma of wine wafted out.

"It smells so good! What kind of wine is this? ”

"Plum wine." Tang Ning took out two more cups and placed them on the stone table, "My mother brewed last year, there are only three jars left, and I stole one jar, there is no wine, don't worry." ”

Ming Lanying didn't panic, the last time she was drunk because she drank the strongest burning knife on the side, this time it is fruit wine, the degree is not high, and it is a small jar, so it is not a big problem.

Ming Lanying picked up the wine glass and touched the glass with Tang Ning. "Wine and beauty, thank you for bringing me here."

Tang Ning suddenly felt something, "Thank you for treating me sincerely." ”

Ming Lanying suddenly understood that it was because of Ye Juelu, and smashed her mouth to taste the sweetness of the plum wine, "If it weren't for Ye Juelu, maybe we wouldn't have met!" ”

Tang Ning smiled and nodded, "Actually, you are very suitable for him." ”

"Why do you say that?"

"In every sense of the word, it's a good match."

Ming Lanying shook her head with a smile and added another glass of wine, "It's hard for me to talk to him." ”

After two glasses of wine, her mind was very sober, Tang Ning held her head and looked at her, "You are the emperor's default husband and wife, and you have a well-behaved and sensible son, what else is there to say?" ”

"There are some things that I know in my heart, but it's hard to say."

"I know, I know." Tang Ning nodded suddenly in realization, "Actually, if I had been braver back then, begging my sister, begging the emperor, and begging His Royal Highness the Crown Prince at that time, I might be Ye Juelu's wife now...... No, no, he doesn't look down on anyone, he doesn't look down on anyone now, and he doesn't look down on him back then. ”

Ming Lanying thinks that maybe there is such a thing as wine, which is a perfect match for the story, whether drunk or not, just a little alcohol, and will want to tell the story.
