Suo Jinling

Chen Jing slept so dimly that day, the sky was dark, the sun and the moon were dark, and he woke up after three poles in the sun. The study room was full of alcohol, as if he had been knocked over the wine cellar, and the bottles and cans were broken. He couldn't remember what happened the night before , I just felt a splitting headache and a heavy head, the boy also smelled of alcohol, nestled in his arms, the heat wave was blowing on his neck, making his whole body itchy.

He was reluctant to get up for a while, afraid of touching the boy's forehead when sitting up, afraid of touching the boy's arm when getting up, scratching his ears and cheeks for a long time, he moved his back tremblingly, opened himself half an inch, and carefully slumped down to the table, holding Nose packs the wine cans.This wine is really too strong, all I have left in my mind is digging the earth and fighting for the wine, I don’t remember anything else, I don’t know how my wine tastes, have I gone crazy, jumping up and down...

Thinking of this, Chen Jing collapsed on the ground, with his head resting on the chair, thinking that in front of the young man, he really couldn't match up with the wise and powerful, so he simply made the mistake and just be a juggler obediently.

On one side of him he lay sluggishly, while on the other side Lan Jingming fumbled on the couch and opened his eyes in a daze: "Ah Jing..."

"You're awake," Chen Jing got up in a hurry, and poured him a glass of water, "Drink some water, whether your throat hurts or not, blame me, did you fight for drinks with you last night, and you too, it's fine if you don't stop Forget it, why are you still going crazy with me..."

"It's not crazy." Lan Jingming drank two sips of water with his hands, his throat was wet and hoarse, "Ah Jing likes it, it's not crazy."

Chen Jing's chest jumped when he heard it, and Bo Hong covered his earbones: "Cough, anyway, don't make an example in the end, you have to stop me next time, and you can't play tricks with me."

"As long as you're happy, why don't you get drunk and don't go home," Lan Jingming said seriously, "Why do you have to be so cautious in everything, forcing yourself to be so sad..."

"Hey, you are really different, you are worthy of being my confidant." Chen Jing threw himself forward, threw him on the couch, and rolled around twice. There are running water banquets in the mansion, and there are all kinds of delicious and interesting things to entertain the folks. You must not miss it! By the way, according to the custom, we will greet the sister-in-law today and serve tea. Wait."

As Chen Jing said, he quickly jumped down and dragged the wooden barrel out to pour water. Lan Jingming saw that he was burning with anxiety, so he hurried back and forth. The two of them took a bath and put on new clothes behind them, cleaned the study room, and opened a few windows to diffuse the smell. , all the way to Tinghu Xiaozhu.

Tinghu Xiaozhu is different from usual, with red lanterns hanging outside and colorful lights inside, several lion dance teams waiting outside, Chen Jing pulled Lan Jingming all the way to squeeze through the crowd, went straight to sister-in-law's study, waving his arms excitedly : "Sister-in-law, here we come!"

Zhou Shuning was counting the account books at the table. Hearing that she stood up supported by her maidservant, she said with a smile, "If you come here in such a hurry, those who don't know will think that there is some great happy event. Wenmo, take Ah Jing to get the colored glaze The pagoda has been moved, and it will be displayed at the banquet, and the men are all busy outside, so Ah Jing can only help."

Chen Jing was stunned for a moment, unexpectedly, he was arranged by his sister-in-law when he came here. He held Lan Jingming's wrist and felt coy for a while: "Sister-in-law, it's not convenient right now, so send me there when elder brother comes back."

"When your elder brother comes back, I won't need you," Zhou Shuning held his waist with one hand and rubbed his stomach with the other, "Ah Jing is obedient, don't ask your sister-in-law to ask you repeatedly before going."

Having said this, Chen Jing could no longer refuse, he was anxious, he turned his head three times and walked outside, he was still dawdling when he came to the door, he didn't want to close the door for a long time, but Lu Wenmo couldn't stand it anymore, he turned around and closed the door .

There was silence in the study room, and the cicadas were singing indistinctly. The sun was shining brightly on this day, shining on the cheeks and neck, making people sweat profusely, and the chest was heavy and panicked.

Lan Jingming stood with his head down, knowing that this moment had finally come, that the General's Mansion allowed him, an inexplicable person, to stay until now...it was all pampering Ah Jing.

Zhou Shuning sat back on the chair and quietly held up the tea bowl to drink tea. She was too old to travel, her belly was wrapped in a corset, and her voice was more gentle than usual: "When do you want to stand there, come and pour me a cup of tea stop."

Lan Jingming woke up with a start. Today, he should have come to serve tea to his wife. If it was an ordinary woman, he would have already offered a basket of tea with sweet words, but he was always stupid, and he didn't know the rules and etiquette, so he could only bite the bullet and pour a cup. Cup of tea, hold it carefully in the palm of your hand, and hold it up respectfully: "Bring tea to Madam."

"Put it on the plate, don't hold it in your hand," Zhou Shuning sighed, "Isn't it hot?"

Not only is it hot, Lan Jingming's palm is about to swell into a pig's trotter.

"Let's put it down," Zhou Shuning gently stroked the table, causing Lan Jingming to put down the teacup, "It's always uncomfortable to hold heavy objects in your hands and hide your thoughts in your chest."

Lan Jingming stood with his hands down, watching his nose, nose and heart, and remained silent for a long time.

"A Jing has been rebellious since she was a child, and she doesn't obey discipline, but she has a pure heart and is willing to go through fire and water for her close friends and relatives," Zhou Shuning said lightly, "After the old general left, Ah Jing seemed to be a different person. He practiced martial arts from morning to night all day long. Depressed, overwhelmed by hatred, he beat the stakes during the day, his hands were covered with blood, he refused to rest at night, and practiced swords alone in the backyard. The general and I were very worried, and people followed him all the time. He caused a disaster. Who knows, he found a gap and broke into the Beiyi territory, and almost lost his life."

Speaking of this, Zhou Shuning sipped hot tea: "Has Ah Jing told you about these things?"

"Vaguely," Lan Jingming broke out in cold sweat, not daring to look up, "Voguely mentioned something."

"I've even told you this, I think Ah Jing thinks highly of you," Zhou Shuning said indifferently, "The old general is strict in governing the army externally, and he is good at governing the family internally. I adore him. After the old general left, I never saw him smile from the bottom of his heart. He just brought you in just now... He was jumping up and down, obviously very happy. When you grow up, you will have your own Mansion house, his elder brother and I can't be by our side all the time, so many affairs in the mansion, big and small, have to be decided by you."

Lan Jingming kept his eyes on his nose, his nose and his heart. He didn't expect that Ah Jing's sister-in-law would leave him here. Instead of asking the truth and incriminating him, she acquiesced that he would stay with Ah Jing in the mansion, and even entrusted him with the future.

"I'm... small, my little girl doesn't dare," Lan Jingming bit his tongue, "I'll leave it to Ah Jing to decide."

Zhou Shujing looked at him quietly for a while, then turned around and opened the wooden box, took out a crystal clear jade bracelet, and put it gently on the table: "Since you came to serve tea, you recognize me as my sister-in-law. What kind of gift should I prepare, this jade bracelet is the dowry my parents gave me when I left the court, you just accept it, my sister-in-law wishes you to be by Ah Jing's side, to advise him, to play in harmony with him, and to help the family prosper."

Lan Jingming didn't dare to take it, he wanted to turn around and run away. If Ajing's sister-in-law spoke harshly, his shame could be relieved a bit, but now that his sister-in-law spoke softly, he would be overwhelmed by this deep guilt and crushed into a crippled ground. ember.

Zhou Shuning held Lan Jingming's wrist in one hand and the jade bracelet in the other, and slowly put it on his wrist, turning it left and right twice: "Talks of gold are not as good as a bosom friend. Ah Jing finally got out of the pain and treated her with a sincere heart. You, you have to treat him sincerely, don't let Ah Jing feel cold."
