A glance at the spring breeze

As soon as Qi Wen smelled the aroma of food wafting from outside the house, he didn't want to argue with his brother anymore.

"Grandma Lu's craftsmanship is getting better and better now." Qi Wen sniffed the air vigorously, his little nose wrinkled.

"You guys wait here, I'll help Granny Lu." Qi Mo said.

Watching Qi Mo's figure gradually go away, Qi Wen turned sideways and quietly leaned towards the two of them, and said furtively: "Big brother...are you really brothers?"

Ruan Lan was in a bad mood.

Yin Jian was very calm, and stretched out his hand to rub the curly hair on top of Qi Wen's head: "Why do you ask that?"

"Because you don't look alike at all." Qi Wen pointed to his eyes and said, "Look at me and my brother's eyeballs are both blue-green."

Yin Jian followed his fingers and looked down: "It's true. But my brother and I also have black eyes."

Qi Wen shook his head: "That's not true, the elder brother's eyes are black, but the elder brother's eyes are brown. Especially when in the sun, the younger brother's eyes are very beautiful, just like a fairy in the sky!"

Ruan Lan helplessly reminded: "Fairies are generally used to describe women."

Yin Jian was very satisfied: "It's quite discerning."

"Of course." Qi Wen's eyes suddenly brightened.

Yin Jian continued: "Xiao Wen, I have something to ask you, are all the people in your Qi family village immigrated from the Western Regions?"

Qi Wen said: "Yes, since people in our clan moved here, they all changed their surname to Qi. No... Actually, it's not all like this. There are also people in the village who moved up from the mountain, such as Granny Lu."

"Grandma Lu?" Yin Xian's eyes flashed.

In this way, you can ask Granny Lu or other people in the village who moved up from the foot of the mountain first. If you can find any valuable old news, you don't have to go down the mountain to find the old people who have lived for many years.

"Grandma Lu used to live at the foot of the mountain, not from our family. Several years ago, my brother took me to the foot of the mountain to play, and accidentally threw me into the river. The river was too fast and washed me away... Later, I was picked up by Granny Lu who was washing clothes by the river downstream. Not only did she heal my wounds, but she also sent me back to Qijia Village. Granny Lu was alone and had no children. Her only daughter was married off early. My brother and I had no father, no mother, and no one to take care of us, so she moved to the mountains to be our neighbor and raised us... But these are all things that happened when I was a child, and it has been a long time, so I now know the specific situation at that time. Just remember a little bit."

"So that's the case." Yin Zhen nodded and said, "I didn't expect you to have such a bad fate at such a young age."

Qi Wen tilted his head and looked at Yin Jian, his round eyes widened: "What is fate?"

"A ill-fated boat is saying...you drifted away like a boat in a river."

Qi Wen clapped his hands straight after hearing this, and praised with a tone of admiration: "Big brother's description is really wonderful!"

Ruan Lan realized that she couldn't stay any longer, so she turned around and was about to go out.Before he stepped out of the door, he saw Qi Mo walking towards this side with a heavy iron pot.

Qi Mo shouted to them: "Grandma Lu has cooked ginger soup, everyone should drink some to force out the cold in the body, so that you won't get sick tomorrow." He put the pot on the table, and the heat inside was bubbling Emerging, rushing toward the face, the surroundings are soon filled with a pungent and pungent smell.Standing there and smelling it, Ruan Lan felt her body gradually warming up.

"I want to drink too?" Qi Wen covered his nose with one hand, frowned tightly, his two pale blue eyes were full of disgust: "I didn't go out today, so I don't want to drink any ginger soup, it smells so bad , I want to eat! Eat the food cooked by Granny Lu!"

Qi Mo patted Qi Wen's paw, and said: "I just heard from Granny Lu that someone sneaked out to dig out the bird's nest while I was away, but it rained and was stuck in a tree and couldn't come back. Granny Lu came out to look for you in the heavy rain. It's okay if you're sick, but Granny Lu is old, what kind of rain can that little broken umbrella cover? If she gets wet..."

Qi Wen covered his ears and interrupted him: "Brother! Stop talking, I'll just drink it!"

Qi Mo nodded, "Yes", and praised: "You can teach children. That's right, go and get the bowls, don't forget that you have to get five this time."

"understood."

Ruan Lan said: "I'll go, there are so many bowls that children may not be able to hold."

"Hey, don't move!" Qi Wen grabbed his sleeve and said anxiously: "Who said I belonged to a child!" After speaking, he took advantage of Ruan Lan's unpreparedness and ran away.

"Brother Qi Mo's younger brother is very cute." Yin Jian looked at the small group of figures running farther and farther, and saw Qi Wen stop in front of a cabinet outside the kitchen with his hands clenched into fists. I stuck my whole head in, and was pulling something inside.

"Children are cute when they are seven or eight years old. As a brother, you should still remember Ruan Lan's appearance at this age, right? They are not all the same...cute is cute, and you still want to beat him up when you are naughty."

Yin turned his head to look at Ruan Lan, his eyes became deep and far away, as if he was thinking seriously: "Alan when he was seven or eight years old...um...it's been too long, I can't remember it."

Ruan Lan thought to herself: "Of course I don't remember". He was selected by Yin Cheng as a companion when he was nine years old because of his talent, so he met Yin Zhe after he was nine years old. How could Yin Zhe know what he looked like when he was seven or eight years old.

Qi Mo took out a small jar and a few cups from the cabinet next to him, and said to them: "After drinking the ginger soup, come to try the Zhizhu Bar, a specialty here. Yesterday I took the time to go down the mountain to buy some while Ruan Lan was practicing martial arts. An altar, today is just to warm and dispel the cold."

"Zhizhu wine?" Yin Jian asked, "But it's made from bamboo?"

"Exactly."

Seeing that the two people in front of him were staring at the jar of wine in his hand, Qi Mo said, "Seeing that you are quite new to this wine, I'll let you have a taste first." He poured two small glasses and handed them to Yin Jian and Ruan Lan.

Yin Jian drank it all in one gulp, and immediately felt a clear and mellow aroma of wine spilling from his throat into his spleen and lungs, it was really sweet and wonderful, making the whole body comfortable.

"It's really good wine." Yin Jian praised with an empty glass.

"Brother Ruan Lin likes it. I'll go to the kitchen to warm it first, and drink it later."

Seeing Qi Mo walking away, Yin Xun asked Ruan Lan who bowed her head and remained silent for a long time: "What do you think of this wine? Could it be that you don't like it?"

Ruan Lan clenched the cup in her hand, her eyes were in a daze, she bit her lip and said, "I seem to have drunk this wine before."

Yin Jianda was not surprised, after all, Ruan Lan was the son of a high-ranking minister, and she had never seen anything new and interesting.

But Ruan Lan's next words made Yin Xian lose his mind.

"Nine years ago, the prince came back from outside the capital and gave me a jug of wine. He said that the jug of wine was made of bamboo, which is rare in the capital. The taste of the wine is still fresh in my memory, because It's really different from the usual wine..."

"Do you think it's the same as what you drank this time?" "Yeah." Ruan Lan looked down at the little clear liquid still remaining in the cup.

"In this way, the connection between the ghost house and Yin Cheng is even more suspicious."

Yin Jian looked up, and saw that Ruan Lan's hand holding the cup suddenly trembled.Ruan Lan pursed her lips tightly, her eyes were resentful, her chest heaved up and down quickly, and she was staring at a corner of the room without looking sideways.

"What's wrong with you, Ruan Lan?" Seeing this, Yin Jian quickly reached out to stabilize the arm of the person in front of him, and looked into the cup in Ruan Lan's hand, "Could it be that this wine is poisonous?"

"It's nothing." Ruan Lan shook off Yin Jian's hand with some strength, and took a step back, "I just remembered some unpleasant memories."

Yin Jian was quite self-aware, seeing Ruan Lan's grief-stricken look, it was probably because the wine reminded him of something that happened nine years ago.

To talk about what he did to Ruan Lan nine years ago... It is not an exaggeration to describe it as "too much for heaven".

"Cough." Yin Jian turned around without embarrassment, thinking, it's useless for him to talk too much now, the more he talks, the more Ruan Lan thinks.

At this time, Qi Wen strode in with a stack of dishes, breaking the dull and cold atmosphere in the room.

"Grandma Lu said she's ready to cook! I can finally eat!"

After drinking, eating and washing up, Yin Jian and Ruan Lan lay on the couch with all their clothes on.

Although it has not been a year or two since the two of them slept together in the same bed, it is really rare for them to be as well-behaved as they are today, without touching each other.

The candles have been extinguished, and there is silence inside and outside the house.

Ruan Lan closed her eyes and dozed off peacefully.

Knowing that he couldn't sleep, Yin Xian looked at Ruan Lan's side face for a long time in the dark, and then said: "Tomorrow morning, I want to visit Granny Lu next door."

"That's exactly what I mean."

"That's a coincidence, since that's the case, you can go with me tomorrow."

After a while of silence, Ruan Lan replied, "Okay."

Yin Jian changed the subject: "Speaking of... Qin'er helped you leave the palace, right?"

Ruan Lan finally turned around and opened her eyes to look at him, "How did Your Majesty know?"

"Joke, what is there in the imperial city that I don't know?"

"Then why can I escape from the palace?"

"..."

This time it was Yin Jian's turn to be silent.

Yin Xian said: "I just wanted to ask you, in the palace, who is helping you out of the palace? Why can't I find out?"

"No comment."

"Okay, let's not talk about it."

Just after Ruan Lan thought that he had finally escaped the question, Yin Jian suddenly leaned into his ear and whispered, "Since you don't want to say it, it must be the imperial concubine?"

Ruan Lan suddenly felt that she had been caught in a trap, so she tucked her whole body into the quilt all at once, and her voice became muffled instantly through a quilt, "Your Majesty, I'm asleep..."

If I go on talking more, I don’t know what else should be revealed.

It's better not to make any more noise.
