After rebirth, she became the favorite of the powerful minister.

The slight coolness in the autumn morning is refreshing.

In less than a quarter of an hour, four people were sitting neatly around the stone table in the courtyard of Luofengxuan. Eight eyes were fixed on the ordinary-looking wine jar, listening to Jin Yunian's story.

According to Master Jin, he had drunk a lot of wine last night and had a good sleep. In addition, he was chased by his mother all over the martial arts field, hiding here and there and climbing trees. He was so tired that he passed out the moment his head touched the pillow after taking a shower. Not long after, he was woken up by the urge to pee... At this point, Master Jin patted his chest and sighed as if he had survived a disaster, "Luckily! Fortunately, it was this pee that saved my life!"

After he finished speaking, he realized that things were different now—there was a girl, so it was a bit ungentlemanly to use such words, so he chuckled and said, "I'm sorry, Sister Wen Qian, I'm used to talking like that on weekdays, and I haven't changed it for a while, please bear with me."

"Sister Wen Qian" was eating a bowl of fragrant glutinous rice porridge with minced meat. She nodded indifferently when she heard the words, "It's okay, continue." She didn't feel embarrassed at all.

There was another bowl of porridge and a plate of Poria cocos cake on the table, but no one touched them.

Xu Chengjin, who had just been pulled out of the quilt, also felt a little hungry, and asked Song Wenyuan, "You don't want to drink?" Seeing Song Wenyuan shaking his head, he didn't hesitate to pick up the porridge and drink it. Just after the first mouthful, a child came to him and stared at him with a pouty mouth. Xu Chengjin looked at the bowl in his hand, then at the child, and immediately understood, so he silently handed the bowl over... It was a misunderstanding, it was not Song Wenyuan's porridge at all, but the child's porridge.

Who wants to eat what he left? Zhuo Zhuo pursed his lips and ran back to Yuan Ge with disgust, complaining, "Auntie..."

Yuan Ge touched his uncombed hair, handed him a piece of Poria cocos cake, and said, "Go find Aunt Gui, she has some more. The adults are talking here, let Brother Lin Mu accompany you to Qichi Pavilion to practice horse stance, okay?" Today's topic is not suitable for children.

Xu Chengjin held the bowl of porridge and looked at Yuan Ge who had sent the child away with a few words. Suddenly, he felt... not so hungry anymore.

When he went to Zhixuan Mountain, he was sixteen years old. Yuan Ge was two years younger than him. As a half-grown child, he was always a bit mature and prudent. He didn't like to go to the front mountain or to crowded places. He was either reading a book or squatting there to tinker with her medicine or poison. Sometimes she would leave with a medicine basket on her back for half a month without any news. She smiled when she talked to her, but her smile was a bit absent-minded and perfunctory. Later, he learned that Yuan Qi was very ill at that time and was unable to get out of bed.

The little girl said nothing, but gritted her teeth and studied medicine, hoping to carry another life on her shoulders.

The man's nonchalant look was exactly the same as the one in front of him when he was coaxing a child... In the vast sea of ​​people, there are countless people with similar looks, but how many people have the same expressions? Xu Chengjin held the white porcelain porridge bowl and looked at the peach tree that was obviously newly planted in the yard, his eyes gradually darkening.

Next to him, Jin Yunian was still passionately telling the story of how his "pee" saved his life. In short, yesterday some short-sighted thieves broke into the Jin family, a family of generals, and they didn't go anywhere else but aimed at Jin Yunian's yard. When Jin Yunian woke up, he saw a black shadow cat outside his window, and it immediately shouted to call the servant on duty.

Most of the servants of the Jin family were veterans from the battlefield, not to mention the servants who were arranged to be with the precious child of the whole family. They were first-class fighters, so it was no problem for them to deal with a few petty thieves. They caught them on the spot. After a few words of scare, the petty thieves begged for mercy, saying that they were really desperate...

But Master Jin said that he also had a brain! He had been in the Jin family for so many years that the petty thief would have wanted to take a detour when passing by, so how could he be so blind as to come and fall into the trap? Moreover, if it was really such a brainless petty thief, he would have been caught before he even set foot on the Jin family's property, so how could he sneak into his yard with such familiarity? So, he could only have been sent here to explore the way, and now that he was caught, he used the excuse of being a petty thief to escape death, and his purpose was also quite obvious.

Song Wenyuan pushed the plate of Fuling Cake in front of Ji Wuyan and asked Jin Yunian, "Where are those little thieves?"

"It's still locked up in the woodshed. The old man said to send it to Yao Yunfeng today." Jin Yunian finally breathed a sigh of relief after he finished speaking. With dark circles under his eyes, he grabbed a piece of Fuling cake and ate it. He then asked, "It's not made by Aunt Gui? Why does the taste change?"

"Send it to me, make a big show, make a big noise." Song Wenyuan glanced at him, took out the wine jar and poured out a small cup, smelled it, and handed it to Xu Chengjin, and then poured another cup to Yuan Ge, "Try it."

While eating, Jin Yunian muttered, "I was thinking, if it is really the kind of wine my mother mentioned, it is not a big deal even if it was sent to me by mistake. It would just be embarrassing if it gets out. Tong Mingru has seen a lot of big scenes, he will definitely not let someone steal it deliberately... Why are you telling my sister Wen Qian about it? You are a girl, don't touch such dirty things." As he said that, he reached out to grab the wine in Yuan Ge's hand.

Yuan Ge stepped aside and made way, his face somewhat serious. He looked up at Xu Chengjin and thought to himself that this Young Master Jin was truly his nemesis. He came as soon as he came out, and sent the servant to find Xu Chengjin as soon as he left the house.

Now... there is no way to avoid it.

Yuan Ge clenched his teeth and ordered Jianshu to take out the wine bought with a silver ingot last night. He opened it and handed it to Song Wenyuan in silence before saying, "It's the same thing. The bottle of wine from the Tong family has more volume and a light medicinal smell. The bottle of wine in the dark alley has a strong medicinal smell and a strong effect. It can be mixed with several jars of Tusu wine. Aunt Xiang smelled right. There is an ingredient of aphrodisiac, but this is only one of its uses. There should be other uses. I can't see it for the time being."

It just feels familiar, as if we passed each other once a long, long time ago.

On the opposite side, Xu Chengjin suddenly looked up at Wen Qian. His eyes were so deep and complex that it seemed as if he was looking through her to behind her, or looking into the depths of time.

He said, "I've seen it... It was probably a semi-finished product at the time, similar to this one... Yuan Qi had a headache during that time and couldn't sleep every night. Yuan Ge made this and said it could help with labor pains, but the teacher said it was addictive, so Yuan Qi didn't use it until the end, and it was abandoned halfway through."

In the almost ethereal voice, those distant memories suddenly came flooding back, and Yuan Ge was stunned - this was how they had passed by each other.
