"Are you alright?"

When Liu Ruiying opened her eyes again, it was already dusk the next day.

At the head of the bed, the three halves of wine and Ou Xiao'e were looking at him worriedly.

His consciousness was a little hazy, and he had long since lost sight of what day it was.

Even Jiu Sanhan and Ou Xiao'e standing in front of his bed made him very panicked.

Because these two faces made him familiar and unfamiliar, he couldn't remember who they were for a while.

His throat was dry.

Just like Du Yan at that time, he opened his mouth but couldn't make any sound.

Even though I wanted to cough, I couldn't cough it out.

Apparently, he was asleep in front of him.

I didn't even take off my boots, so I lay on the bed and fell into a deep sleep......

Generally only drunk people will do this, do not take off their clothes, shoes and boots, and lie straight on the bed.

But Liu Ruiying knew very well that she was not drunk.

Not only was he not drunk, but he didn't even drink a drop of wine.

He woke up now, and could feel the breath coming from his nose, his own pulse, and the darkness that blinked his eyes.

But his consciousness was still not fully awake.

It's like being in an ice hole, constantly falling.

After a long time, the memories in my mind overlapped with the faces in front of me.

"It's you......"

Liu Ruiying said.

At the same time, I struggled to get out of bed.

He supported his body with his elbows, trying to turn his body over first, and then he could hold the head of the bed and let his legs fall back to the ground.

As long as he finally supported his upper body with his hands, he was completely sitting on the edge of the bed.

Liu Ruiying felt that even if she still couldn't stand up, it was better to sit than to lie down.

At least it looks much more energetic than lying down.

Although Liu Ruiying has no energy at all now, and his body is soft like a cloud, he really doesn't want outsiders to see his true situation at the moment, so he struggles to get up.

Liu Ruiying looked out the window and found that it was still dusk outside

As everyone knows, this dusk is already a day apart.

Since Liu Jinghao and Du Yan left, he had been asleep in bed for twelve hours.

Dusk is Liu Ruiying's favorite weather.

The morning was filled with a wet fog that made it impossible to see everything.

The afternoon sun was too strong, but it was a stinging that he couldn't open his eyes.

Only at this twilight did the sun begin to sink a little.

While the afternoon is clear, the light is softer and more pleasant.

What's more, dusk is really the most relaxing time of the day.

Whether it is a farmer or an errand worker, they have all stopped working at this time.

Either go home, or go in a pile to order a few side dishes and have a drink or two.

No matter how depressed and busy the day is, it disappears with the sunshine that is gradually fading westward.

In its place, there was only laughter.

But today, Liu Ruiying doesn't like dusk very much.

Because he was in a bad mood.

I am in a bad mood because I have too many things on my mind.

It would be nice if you could think clearly one by one.

It would be better if all the swords could be split and cut with one sword.

But he couldn't think clearly.

Since you can't think clearly, you can't start to split and cut it.

These questions were like stones weighing down on his heart.

If he had been in bed all the time, he might have been more comfortable.

But now Jiu Sanban and Ou Xiao'e called him up, so he felt stuffy and heavy in his chest every step he took, and he had to open his mouth wide and desperately want to inhale more air.

"Where did you go yesterday?"

Liu Ruiying forcibly pulled herself together and asked.

"We went to the most prosperous part of Bokulou. ”

The wine said with a smile on his eyebrows.

"Where is the most prosperous place in Bogulou?"

Liu Ruiying pressed his temple and said.

He felt the pain in his temples on both sides of his head.

"I don't know, it's just a street, it's very long, it's everything!"

The wine three halves said.

"Wine, too?"

Liu Ruiying asked.

"Of course there is! Scholars love to drink too!"

The wine three halves said.

"It's not just wine...... And also...... Girl!"

The wine was three and a half and half of my Liu Ruiying's ear leaned over and said.

"Girl, the girl from Bogulou?"

Liu Ruiying thought it was a woman studying in Bogu Building, but she didn't expect that what the wine three halves said did mean another thing.

"You and Ou Xiao'e went to find a girl?"

Liu Ruiying smiled and shook his head.

This smile made him feel a lot better depressed in his heart.

"Who says only you big men can drink flower wine?"

Ou Xiao'e said dissatisfied.

"Yes, yes...... No one rules these things in the first place, and besides, as long as there is money in those places, let alone big men or little girls, what does it matter if the old eunuch goes?"

Liu Ruiying spread his hands and said.

These words amused both the wine Sanban and Ou Xiao'e.

"Why did you sleep so long?"

The wine three halves asked.

Ou Xiao'e frowned slightly.

She could feel that Liu Ruiying obviously didn't want to talk about this topic, and the wine was really a pot that couldn't be opened.

But if he can fool the past like this, then he is not half a wine.

The gourd that he drinks three and a half times is big and deep, which means that his attitude towards drinking is also extremely serious.

In fact, it's not just drinking, he's very serious about everything.

The premise is that it is his concern.

Liu Ruiying is the person he cares about, and Liu Ruiying's affairs are naturally what he cares about, so he will break the casserole and ask to the end.

"I don't know, it's just very tired......"

Liu Ruiying said.

He wasn't lying, he was really tired.

Although this is tired because the yin and yang poles in his body collapsed, the Great Grandmaster Dharma Phase replaced everything.

But if you explain all this, won't it make him even more tired?

The wine sanban nodded after hearing this.

He didn't think about whether Liu Ruiying was telling the truth.

He just wanted an answer.

An answer that Liu Ruiying said herself.

As long as Liu Ruiying said it, no matter how outrageous and incredible the answer was, he would believe it.

"Was there any movement in the Bogu Building yesterday?"

Liu Ruiying asked.

"It's business as usual. ”

Ou Xiao'e said.

And with the approach of the dragon and tiger fight in the literary world, it seems to be a lot more lively. ”

The wine three halves said.

Hearing the 'dragon and tiger fight in the literary world', Liu Ruiying suddenly remembered Tang Zhongsong.

This master who is restless wherever he goes, and he doesn't know what he is doing now.

Presumably, there should be a lot of things to do in the first few days.

According to Tang Zhongsong's temperament, once he is busy, he will definitely come to him as soon as possible.

But now, Liu Ruiying wants to go out for a walk and go around.

He saw that the trees outside the house were shaking a little more than before.

The evening breeze is always pleasant.

So he wanted to go out.

He glanced at the direction of Xiao Jinkan's house, and hesitated slightly, but after all, he didn't take a step.

Liu Ruiying said that she would wait until her business was done before going to him for a drink.

Now, before this matter has been handled, I went to him for a drink, wouldn't I make myself a little untrustworthy?

"The busiest street market is a good place to go. ”

Ou Xiao'e said.

She could see that Liu Ruiying was a little entangled.

She has had this kind of entanglement, and everyone has had it.

Because such a tangle will soon turn into irritability and depression.

Once irritability and depression can't stand it in the heart and vents it, it is anger.

Liu Ruiying is a person with an excellent temper.

He is very self-contained and very tolerant, so he will not get angry easily.

Then this irritability and depression will always be held in my heart and placed in one place forever.

In fact, there is such a corner in everyone's heart.

When it's full, people cry, and when they're done crying, it's empty, and people laugh.

But how joyful the laughter is, how miserable the crying will be.

In this cry and laughter, it is true that everything in the world is in the past.

Liu Ruiying looked up again and found that he had followed the footsteps of Jiu Sanban and Ou Xiao'e to the most prosperous street in this Bogu Building.

There are countless storefronts on both sides of the street, which looks no different from the most lively street in Dingxi Wangcheng, but it is a little less neat in comparison.

The intricate interplay of the plaques and flags is dizzying.

Liu Ruiying saw a lot of young girls, wearing heavy makeup, standing on the balcony upstairs, smiling stupidly, and throwing flattering glances at the young scholars in literary clothes who came and went on the street.

Of course, the most lively place is the Chengxin Hall.

The largest writing shop in the world.

Liu Ruiying once went to the Chengxintang branch in Dingzhou Fucheng, but compared with Bogulou, it was like a mayfly shaking a tree.

But other than that, he wasn't familiar with anything else.

He didn't know anything about literati, and he tried his best to pretend to know a lot at the beginning, just so as not to make jokes in front of Zhao Mingming.

Everyone's behavior is determined by the people around them.

It was Zhao Mingming before, so Liu Ruiying's every move was thought about before and after.

Now it's three and a half of wine and Ou Xiao'e, but they can be at will.

So he only glanced into the Chengxin Hall, and he didn't have the heart to go in at all.

He also saw a shop that sold fried chestnuts with sugar.

Although he doesn't like sweets, he remembered Zhao Mingming's fried chestnuts with candy, but he secretly swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, and the ghost made him buy a pack.

Chestnut mouth, sweet and soft and glutinous.

You don't even have to chew it, just hold your tongue on the top of your mouth and take a sip on the roof of your mouth to completely dissolve it.

Subsequently, the sweetness on the tip of the tongue reached the heart and lungs, and it was indeed a feeling that people couldn't stop.

However, he didn't eat much, because he just wanted to taste and didn't have much appetite for food.

Liu Ruiying looked at the remaining half of the bag of sugar-fried chestnuts in her hand, and felt that it was a bit of a waste to throw it away, but it was extremely cumbersome to hold it in her hand.

"I'll treat you to it!"

Liu Ruiying stuffed the sugar-fried chestnuts into the wine and said.

"You invited me to eat, why did you eat several of them first!?"

The third half of the wine took the fried chestnuts with sugar and asked.

"Because I'm afraid of being toxic. ”

Liu Ruiying said with a smile.

"Poisonous? Who wants to poison me? Besides, I never eat fried chestnuts with sugar. ”

The wine three halves were very surprised.

If a person wants to poison others, he will definitely start with the most everyday things or supplies of that person, how can he choose an object that he has no chance to eat?

"Poison doesn't have to be dead, if you eat it and your stomach is uncomfortable, it's poison!"

Liu Ruiying said.

Ou Xiao'e saw that Liu Ruiying was talking serious nonsense, so she couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle, but she didn't say anything.

Because she thinks that these two people go back and forth like this, one is serious and the other is joking, which is really extremely funny!

"Is it poisoning if I have an upset stomach? So if I laugh until I have a stomachache when I drink a lot, is it also poisoning?"

The wine three halves asked.

"Of course, as long as you are uncomfortable, you are poisoned, but if you are comfortable all the time, you are also poisoned. ”

Liu Ruiying said.

The wine three halves nodded approvingly.

He agrees with that.

After all, he was already poisoned by alcohol, and it was getting worse day by day.

Originally, the three halves of the wine and the two points and the grievances in the middle of Bogulou had nothing to do with Liu Ruiying.

There was no need for him to wade into these troubled waters.

If he had listened to the persuasion of Du Yan, the man in white, and left honestly, then there would have been no such incidents behind.

The appearance of Liu Jinghao, the king of Qingzhong, was an even greater puzzle in his heart.

And Liu Jinghao even called himself a 'little guy'.

Liu Ruiying is the provincial flag of the Central Capital Investigation Division, and he is a complete subordinate of Liu Jinghao.

Although it is a provincial flag, it is also a lowly official position.

How could it be Liu Jinghao's turn to save his life at the expense of exposing his body?

Liu Ruiying has no impression of the battle between Liu Jinghao and Du Yan, but he can also experience the danger.

He didn't know what the final outcome would be, but he was sure that Liu Jinghao, the king of Qingzhong, would not lose.

Although Du Yan, the man in white, is strong, there is only one king in Qingzhong.

Why is it not him but Liu Jinghao who is sitting in this position? Everything has a cause and effect.

But up to now, Liu Ruiying still hasn't figured out what special she is.

But seeing the attitude of Liu Jinghao, the king of Qingzhong, towards himself, then the previous promotion by three levels, as well as the reward of "Seven Peerless Flame Sword", are logical.

Thinking about it, Liu Ruiying just implicated the relationship with her dead parents.

Since they are the heroes of the Investigation Division, they must have an old relationship with Liu Jinghao, the king of Qingzhong.

It is also human nature to take some care of the son of the deceased.

Liu Ruiying doesn't know what to do with this, and no one can ask, but this is the most reasonable explanation at the moment.

Now, Liu Ruiying feels that it is an extremely ambitious decision to go out for a walk!

If he sent away the wine and Ou Xiao'e in a few words, he continued to lie on the bed, thinking hard, I am afraid that it will be difficult to achieve results in a few days and nights.

But at this moment, the environment has changed, and his eyes are full of new things, which really makes him suddenly open.

No matter what the truth is, Liu Ruiying has found an answer that can convince her.

Many things are like this, people always want to pursue perfection, but how many people can know that the moment of perfection is before the flowers are fully bloomed and the moon is not full?

Demanding perfection can only allow one's life to be spent in pain and entanglement.

If you settle for the next best thing, find an answer that can generally make you comfortable and comfortable, and coax your heart, you will naturally be much more relaxed and happy.

"Ou Xiao'e and I had a few drinks here yesterday. ”

The wine bar pointed to a tea house and said.

"You think it's good here?"

Liu Ruiying asked.

He saw that this café had five floors, which was much higher than that of his neighbors.

High is magnificent.

If a person is tall, he will look very imposing.

There is also a small bridge in front of the café.

There is a small river under the small bridge.

It's not just the water that comes from somewhere, the small river flows out from the back of the café, circles under the small bridge in front of the door, and flows from the other side to the back.

Where there is water, there is spirit.

A small river alone makes this café more stylish than others.

In particular, there are many swimming fish in the small river.

When people walked to the bridge, the fish in the river gathered on both sides of the bridge, and put their mouths deep into the water, one by one, waiting for people to feed.

But Liu Ruiying looked at the wooden sign that said 'No Feeding' on the bridge of the small bridge, thinking that these fish would be disappointed.

"Hey, what's the matter with you! Can't you see such a big sign?!"

Suddenly, the little two on duty at the door of the store shouted.

Liu Ruiying saw that the direction he was pointing in was his side, and immediately looked left and right for a while, but wondered if he had done something wrong?

The people in this Bogu Building, no matter who they are, are contaminated with the habit of being scholars.

Scholars pay the most attention to face.

Although the rules of the Central Capital Investigation Division are very strict, if they do not touch the root and do not affect the results, most of the time they will turn a blind eye and close one eye will pass.

Bokulou is very different.

Even the sound of the teacup falling on the table when drinking tea is too loud will attract strange eyes from others.

Liu Ruiying finally found the root of Xiao Er's temper.

He saw that the sack of sugar-fried chestnuts was poured into the river with a bang.

Suddenly, a group of fish compete for food, churning up pieces of water, so lively!

The third half of the wine laughed while watching, completely immersed in his own world, and did not hear Xiao Er's reproach at all.

Liu Ruiying was about to make amends, but Ou Xiao'e beside her didn't look back, and walked straight into the teahouse, as if she didn't know the wine three halves at all.

It seems that the same situation has already happened once yesterday.

But I don't know what the wine was fed yesterday.

"No fish are allowed here!"

Liu Ruiying lowered his voice and said to the third half of the wine.

"Don't you say that this sugar-fried chestnut is poisonous?"

The wine three halves said.

"You're using fish to test for poison?"

Liu Ruiying suddenly increased a few points.

"Or else?"

The third half of the wine felt that Liu Ruiying's question was very unreasonable.

"Didn't I eat a few of them first, how could they be poisonous?"

Liu Ruiying asked rhetorically.

"You eat it, you eat it, and if you eat it, it doesn't mean that these sugar-fried chestnuts are really not poisonous. ”

The wine three halves said.

He folded the paper bag of sugar-fried chestnuts neatly, but returned it to Liu Ruiying.

Liu Ruiying couldn't cry or laugh.

Could it be that the wine is a fish in the first place?

It doesn't hurt if you eat it, but if you eat it, you will die instantly, so you should try it with fish.

Thinking of this, Liu Ruiying shook her head.

I thought that I was almost taken to the gutter by the wine three halves.

Even if he was a fish, even if he was a fish alien beast, he couldn't afford to pour an entire bag of sugar-fried chestnuts into the river.

To put it bluntly, he just wanted to feed the fish.

In the past, Liu Ruiying felt that three halves of wine did not eat the fireworks of the world, and she was very curious about everything.

Now he can be regarded as clear, and the three halves of the wine are simply pretending to be confused.

What he wants to do can't be stopped by others, he has a set of rules in his heart, as long as he doesn't violate these rules, but it has nothing to do with the conventions of the world.

In a blink of an eye, the third half of the wine also entered the teahouse.

Now the paper bag of sugar-fried chestnuts is in Liu Ruiying's hands.

This matter of apology naturally fell on his head.

Fortunately, he asked Xiao Er to arrange an excellent seat for himself, which was much more expensive than the usual loose platform in the hall.

Xiao Er knew that there was a gold lord, so he put down the arms wrapped around his chest with a smile, lowered his nostrils facing the sky, and led Liu Ruiying into the door.

When he entered the door, it shouldn't have been his jurisdiction.

But who can't keep up with the money?

Even if the colleagues inside the door glared at him angrily, this little two pretended to have nothing to do with him.

He also wanted to ask for some reward from Liu Ruiying.

Liu Ruiying is indeed a generous person, Xiao Er took the reward and thanked him repeatedly, ran out of the door again, and returned to the bridge to stand.

He knew that the faster he disappeared, the less jealous the rest of the little two would be for him.

If you can't see it, you can't see it, but as long as you see it, people will compare it.

For people like them who live at the bottom, every penny has to be taken care of.

It's not that they're bored, it's because the pressure of life really makes them unable to straighten their backs and stand up their chests.

You could call him snobbish, but their lives are maintained by sacrificing their self-esteem.

Those who have not experienced it have no right to blame.

Nor does a noble person have the right to despise.

That's how the world works.

If someone is on top, there will be someone on top.

Without the foundation of the lower floor, the upper ones are just pavilions and pavilions, which will collapse sooner or later.

As soon as the wine sat down, he was familiar with the wine and side dishes.

But Xiao Er, who was in charge of ordering, didn't have any good looks at him.

Not because he fed the fish with fried chestnuts with sugar at the door, but because he didn't have even a little loose silver in his pocket.

Liu Ruiying knew that it must have been Ou Xiao'e who paid the account yesterday.

Although she is a girl, with his identity as the 'sword heart' of the Ou family, he doesn't care about the cost of a drink.

However, if a man asks a woman to pay for himself everywhere, he will naturally lose face, and he will be sad to be despised by Xiao Er.

But the wine is not your average man.

He had no idea what the face meant.

On the contrary, he thought it silly to the rest of the tables in the hall who were racking their brains just to make the girl laugh, or to spend a lot of money just to win the hearts of the beauties.

It's just that he forgets that everyone has their own satisfaction.

And his contentment was strange.

Fortunately, Ou Xiao'e is also such a fellow practitioner.

She also looks down on those men's prodigal behavior of flamboyant and flamboyant.

On the contrary, I feel that it is like three and a half of wine, no money is no money, and what I think is exactly what I do, and I want to be much more enjoyable.

Fellowship with others is important in truth.

Wine Sanhan is a very real person.

Because of Liu Ruiying's identity, he can't say a lot of things, and he can't say it.

But at least to the extent that he can, he is also doing his best to be true to Ou Xiao'e and the wine.

Liu Ruiying reached out and touched the table.

It is excellent wood.

Only one layer of varnish was applied to it.

The table top and the base are not nailed together, but placed flat and neatly.

That's a good thing.

In case of an accident, Liu Ruiying can be used as a defense as long as he overturns the table.

Although it is bustling and lively.

But after so many battles of life and death, Liu Ruiying has developed the habit of observing first and then making a plan no matter where she is.

This seat head is located in the northeast corner of the lobby.

Above is the floor slab.

The floor slabs are solid.

Because the footsteps of the people upstairs as they walked around were dull.

The sturdy floor suggests that it would be difficult for someone to surprise from overhead, at least but that was a matter of concern.

The northeast corner also offers a panoramic view of the hall.

Everyone is in control when they get up and down.

Liu Ruiying saw that there were two scholars with a three-grade blue dragon, although they were drinking tea, but their hands were very dishonest on the shoulders and arms of the girl next to them, and their eyes were also smiling lewdly, I don't know what the hell they were thinking.

There are also small vendors, carrying baskets.

The basket contains dried fruits, as well as some cute items that are intricately crafted.

When he saw the girl's table, he went over and said some compliments, and handed the lovely object to the girl's hand.

The girl hid her face and chuckled, and took the object with great embarrassment, but the vendor's eyes swept over the male scholar sitting at the table.

Now that this girl has already taken the object, no one must give up this opportunity to please without breaking the bank.

So, they took out their purses one after another.

They rushed to hand the money to the little vendor.

The peddler couldn't take it, so he stuffed it into his basket.

One object, but it makes several pieces of money!

Just this one table will fill him with a lot of money.

The rest of the small traders, seeing their peers so smooth, couldn't help but be red and hot, and the green tendons on their necks flared up, but they used all the good words and sentences they remembered in their lives, and they didn't care if they were okay or not, as long as the sentences were auspicious and the words were praised.

The third half of the wine handed over a glass of wine, Liu Ruiying looked at the clear and translucent wine soup, and drank it all.

"And me!"

Ou Xiao'e was very dissatisfied with Liu Ruiying's drinking by herself and not clinking glasses with her, as if she had been snubbed.

Liu Ruiying turned his head and smiled slightly apologetically, but in his afterglow, he saw a person slowly walking towards here.
