General

"It seems that you really forgot about him!" Ling Feng deliberately put on a trick, and joked with a smile, "It's that... the little guy you picked up from the four counties in the south of the Yangtze River!"

"Qiu Yang?!" Lan Jing patted her forehead suddenly, only then did she remember that there was such a person. For some reason, a sense of guilt suddenly rose in her heart.

The recent Chinese New Year has been busy, and just happened to catch up with the passing of old General Li. There was joy and mourning, and there was chaos inside and out, and he had long been forgotten...

After returning to the palace from Jiangnan, Ling Feng brought Qiu Yang to him and asked him what errands he could arrange in the palace.However, Li Xuan said that he had a clear mind and handled things appropriately, and that he should give full play to his talents, so he directly rewarded him with 500 taels of silver, and sent him to build an inn next to the ferry in Sishui City, and buy some aquatic products from the fishing boats returning from fishing every morning. , and then send fast horses to the capital for sale.

Looking at Qiu Yang's uneasy and resentful little eyes that day, Lan Jing only felt that taking out the 500 taels of silver would be like throwing it directly into the bottom of the Jiabo River, and never coming back again!But since Li Xuan had spoken, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and dig out his pocket...

Now that he is taking advantage of the Shangyuan Festival to come back to pay New Year's greetings, could it be that the business can't continue and he lost money, so he wants to ask himself to let him continue to go back to the house to do business?

It was just that moment, but Lan Jing's heart had gone round and round several times.He glanced sideways at Li Xuan, and saw him standing beside him unresponsively, fiddling with the white jade wine cup carelessly in his hand, ignoring his intentions, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and put on a princely air He ordered loudly, "Let him in."

"Yes..." Ling Feng pursed his lips, bowed and retreated. Soon, he hurried back from the courtyard with a still thin figure.The afterglow of the setting sun glowed with a faint golden light, covering his face that was slightly flushed because of shyness, but his eyes were shining brightly, revealing a touch of excitement and anxiety.

Qiu Yang stepped into the palace gate, bowed down respectfully to Lan Jing, but Li Xuan once again had a panoramic view of the love quietly tucked in the corner of his eyes.

"My lord, the inn has just opened in the past few days and has not yet made a profit. These... are the bonuses of the recent aquatic business." Qiu Yang reached into his clothes, and quickly took out a bag of scattered silver from his bosom. Looking at the bag, there are more than ten taels.

"Present it." Lan Jing looked at his fawning face, raised her lips slightly, never thought that this little guy really has two brushes, and he saw the money back so soon? !

"Since the New Year's Tribute has been paid, I naturally want to invite you, Shopkeeper Qiu, to have a drink." Lan Jing raised her finger and pointed at the seat next to Qi Min and joked, "Hurry up and take a seat!"

"Wang... lord..."

Qiu Yang's face suddenly turned red, and he knelt on the ground and stammered, "Qiu Yang has been just your slave all his life, not the shopkeeper Qiu... If the prince agrees, Qiu Yang still wants to come back to serve you... …washing, cooking, chopping firewood, lighting a fire…I, I can do it…”

At the end of Qiu Yangyue's speech, he became more and more emboldened, because he suddenly realized... How could it be his turn to do these things for Lan Jing in this huge Jing Palace like before? !

"Hahaha..." Lan Jing didn't know his various thoughts at all, just thought he was taking the opportunity to show his loyalty to herself, so she half-jokingly refused, "What's the point of washing and cooking, you should go back and be yours obediently." Shopkeeper Qiu! The 500 taels for opening the inn are all the dowry of General Li back then, don’t you want to lose it all to him? Wait until next year, I will wait for you to earn a lot of silver for me~”

"..." Qiu Yang saw that what he said could not be questioned at all, so he lowered his eyes slowly, bit his lower lip lightly, and bowed reluctantly in a low voice, "Yes..."

Because all the people here are close people, and Lan Jing usually indulges her servants a lot, this family banquet was extremely lively.Ling Feng raised his head, and everyone toasted Lan Jing and Li Xuan one by one, Lan Jing was not rigid, drank from one glass to the other, and became faintly drunk in a blink of an eye.

Qiu Yang entered the mansion late, he was young, and he was not on duty in the mansion. When it was his turn, Lan Jing was already leaning on Li Xuan's shoulders, holding the wine cup, and smirking drunkenly.

"Qiu Yang wishes the prince and concubine to be as good as new every year, with good fortune and longevity..."

Qiu Yang held the wine glass in both hands, but his eyes were quietly condensed on Lan Jing's handsome face dyed with rosy red. At this moment, his long and narrow phoenix eyes were half-squinted, and there seemed to be a touch of wetness between the slender eyelashes , the warm lips are slightly parted, like a budding new stamen, people can't help but want to taste it...

"okay……"

Lan Jing seemed to be dazed for a moment, but she still smiled sweetly at him, habitually holding the wine cup to return the gift, but when the wine reached her lips, Li Xuan grabbed her wrist forcefully.

"He's drunk and can't drink anymore."

Li Xuan raised his eyebrows in displeasure, and looked at Qiu Yang coldly.He didn't like the way that man looked at Lanjing, even though he knew in his heart that this boy was just wishful thinking, but no matter what, he still didn't like it...

It's like... being desecrated by someone who belongs to him.

"General... General..."

Qiu Yang was startled at first, and then he bit his lower lip unwillingly and stood there in embarrassment. He tried hard to pick the gemstone inlaid on the wine glass, but his fingers began to tremble uncontrollably.

"I'll drink it for him."

Li Xuan glanced at Qiu Yang, then glanced at Lan Jing who was entwined tightly around him like a small snake, and took his wine glass without any refusal, raised his head and drank the fine wine in one gulp.

Qiu Yang stood motionless on the spot, but there was a complicated expression on his face.He silently stared into Li Xuan's eyes, still holding the wine glass, stubbornly refusing to leave.

"The general is good at drinking!"

Ling Feng suddenly sensed that the atmosphere was not right, so he hastily shouted haha, leading everyone to flatter Li Xuan in unison, while pinching Qiu Yang's wrist fiercely, pulling him back to the table.

"My lord is too drunk, I'll send him back to his bedroom first, you continue to have fun." Li Xuan's handsome face showed a trace of displeasure, he deliberately lowered his hands and hugged Lan Jing into his arms, and nodded slightly to Ling Feng.

But Lan Jing leaned against his arms like a habit, raised her hands and hugged Li Xuan's neck tightly, her expression was both lazy and charming, which made people's heart skip a beat.
