Seeing Ning Yin's expression, Yu Lingxi knew that what he wanted probably wasn't something normal.
She rolled her eyes lightly, as if hiding a small hook, and added in time: "It must be within the scope of etiquette, and the priority is not to hurt others and yourself."
"Save it first."
Ning Yin seemed to think that there were too many rules, so she snorted lightly, but there was a deep joy in her eyes.
He looked at the girl with icy muscles and bones in front of him, smiled meaningfully, and said slowly: "When the time comes, Miss Wang allows me to take something from the Yu Mansion."
The waves and shadows on the surface of the pool are bright, and the floating light is golden.
Yu Lingxi was bewitched by his smile, and unexpectedly nodded.
When she came back to her senses, Ning Yin had already left with a smile, leaving only half a bunch of cool grapes in her hand, dripping with crystal drops of water.
"Just now, what kind of hole was he digging?"
Yu Lingxi was puzzled, so she picked a grape and put it in her mouth, and then she shuddered, her toes curled up with soreness.
…
In the palace, Cui An ordered people to drag the dead **** down.
He looked at another subordinate who was kneeling on the ground, and said slowly, "Your Majesty doesn't have much time for us, what about you? Didn't you find out why?"
"Admiral calm down! There are too many sources of rumors, and the subordinates and others tracked down several brothels and tea shops, and then cut off the clues..."
Seeing Cui An's gloomy expression, the man hastily raised his voice and said, "But the subordinates accidentally discovered that the major general of the Yu Mansion is secretly investigating the whereabouts of the Seventh Prince."
"Yu Huanchen?" Cui An tasted the name.
The Seventh Prince is really not dead, or is it that the Yu family's secret actions are preparing to stand in line?
No matter what the reason was, it was enough for that person from the Eastern Palace to be afraid of being furious.
The old disease in the crotch seemed to be aching, and Cui An Gujing Wubo's eyes showed a deep shadow, and he smiled slowly: "Keep an eye on the actions of the Yufu. Also, present this news to our Crown Prince .”
…
Su Guan decided to give Yu Huanchen a sword tassel as a Qixi Festival gift, and was short of a high-quality ice jade for decoration, so he decided to take a trip to the street and invite Yu Lingxi to accompany him.
Yu Lingxi remembered that the gift for Ning Yin had not yet arrived, so she didn't have time to think about it, so she agreed with a smile.
Su Guan's usual carriage was small and narrow, and it was a little crowded for two people, so the steward was ordered to replace them with the large carriage that Yu Huanchen used when going to court, and personally escorted them to the gate.
The official carriage was spacious and comfortable, and it was equipped with melons and fruits and ice cups to enjoy the coolness. Yu Lingxi leaned on the embroidered pillow and blinked and said, "Brother doesn't talk about it, but he actually cares about his sister-in-law."
Su Wan said "Yes", and the sweet blush of newlyweds appeared on her face: "I know, it's definitely right to marry him."
In fact, Yu Lingxi has always been a little curious. In her previous life, her brother and sister-in-law had never met, but after her brother died in the war, Su Wan would rather die than break the contract and remarry, but chose the green lantern and ancient Buddha to accompany her for life...
The last time I heard such a story, it was still in the dogma that bound women like "Biography of Martyr Girl" and "Book of Chastity". However, Guan Su Wan's temperament is not like that kind of obsessive and twisted person.
She had a guess in her heart and asked, "Did sister-in-law admire elder brother before?"
Other than that, Yu Lingxi couldn't think of any other reason for an exquisite and intelligent boudoir to cut off her hair and keep her chastity.
Su Wan's face turned even redder, like a child who broke a secret.
She nodded slightly, covered her face with her fan, and said carefully: "Four years ago, he presented martial arts in front of the imperial court, and I was at the scene with my father."
From then on, I fell in love at first sight, and my heart secretly agreed.
Yu Lingxi was surprised, she didn't expect their fate to be settled so early.
The more fulfilled this life is, the more regretful she feels in her previous life, Yu Lingxi sighed softly.
"I only told you this secret, Sui Sui, please don't tell my husband."
Su Wan took Yu Lingxi's hand, blushed and said, "I'm afraid he will laugh at me."
"Sister-in-law, don't worry."
Yu Lingxi hooked her to stamp her, then smiled and comforted, "Even if he found out, he would definitely not make fun of it, he would only feel blessed."
Yu Lingxi couldn't understand her brother's temper very well.
He is extremely responsible and intelligent. Even if he was unwilling before marrying, as long as his wife passed the door, he would risk his life to protect her.
"Don't talk about me."
Su Wan stopped talking, and asked, "In a few days, it will be the Qiqiao Festival. Is there someone you like who wants to give a gift every year? This is the only day of the year where there are no men and women, and you can express your heart to your heart's content."
Yu Lingxi twitched her eyelashes, subconsciously showing Ning Yin's cold and indulgent face.
"The first man Sui Sui thinks of at this time is the one you like." Su Wan leaned over and said in the tone of a person who has experienced it.
Yu Lingxi raised her head abruptly, seemingly surprised or confused, she blinked, then blinked again.
"Really?" She asked late.
Su Wan nodded resolutely: "You can't hide your crush on someone, he will unconsciously pop into your mind."
Yu Lingxi thought about it, and she really thought of Ning Yin a lot recently.
From the fear and regret in the previous life to the relief and trust in this life, from the reunion with ulterior motives in the Colosseum to his several times of breaking the rules to protect each other...everything is imprinted in his heart.
Unknowingly, they have experienced so many ups and downs in their two lifetimes.
This is what you like?
Yu Lingxi didn't quite understand, she had the closest contact with Ning Yin, except that she had never talked about love.
So, what about Ning Yin?
"Sister-in-law, you said..."
Yu Lingxi's thoughts were surging, and a ray of warm sun outside the carriage window flashed in her picturesque eyebrows, and she asked in a low voice, "If a person has a bad reputation, is cruel, and always bullies the person next to him. But when the person next to the pillow dies Afterwards, he froze her body and was reluctant to bury her, did he like it?"
Su Wan thought for a while and said, "That's right."
"But isn't this paranoid possession?" Yu Lingxi said.
That night in the porch, even Ning Yin himself admitted that things that are well-used should be locked up.
"Who said that being paranoid and possessive is not liking?"
Su Wan chuckled, "Confinement, even bullying, bad people love bad people..."
Probably realizing that she had slipped her tongue, Su Wan bit her lip and remained silent.
A stone stirred up thousands of waves, Yu Lingxi's lips parted slightly, and she asked in amazement for a while, "Why does sister-in-law know this?"
Su Wan hesitated for a long while before confessing softly: "I used to be bored in my boudoir and read a lot of books."
From serious poems and songs to non-serious story-telling novels, from "a gentleman loves money" to stealing and plundering, there is a lot of coverage.
Hearing this, Yu Lingxi's impression of this little sister-in-law was even higher, and she leaned against the car window and lost her mind.
Mood ups and downs, protracted injustice.
Is that what my sister-in-law said? Yu Lingxi slowly lowered her curled eyelashes.
It's a pity that she can never go back to the past, so she can ask Ning Yin to understand.
By her side now, there is only Wei Qi, a little lunatic who can cut her hair and eat pepper powder...
Soon, even Wei Qi would not belong to her anymore.
Thinking about it this way, my heart felt sore and hot, and I fainted with a touch of melancholy.
…
The jade wares in Xuanping Street are the most famous.
Linlangfang is the largest jade shop in Xuanping Street. The shopkeeper is a fine person, and the famous jades with rare output are hidden on the second floor, which are only for distinguished customers to choose.
The decoration on the second floor is extremely elegant, and even invited a luthier and a pipa girl to play music for entertainment.
Su Guan was choosing a jade ring suitable for tasseling, and Yu Lingxi had nothing to do, so she walked along the counter displaying various jade wares to look at them.
After a pause, he was caught by a palm-sized black jade.
This jade color is heavy and delicate, warm and moist without a trace of impurities, just like black ice is condensed, and it seems to condense a piece of deep night into a square inch.
For some reason, Yu Lingxi thought of Ning Yin's hand.
His complexion was as cold and white as frost, and if those slender knuckles were playing with this black ink jade, they would be indescribably gorgeous and noble.
Under the light veil of the veil, Yu Lingxi softened her eyes and had an idea in her heart.
This is a perfect, wonderful gift.
"This jade is just in the rough, and it hasn't had time to carve it yet."
Seeing Yu Lingxi's gaze resting on the black jade, the shopkeeper immediately said courteously, "After the distinguished customer buys it, our shop can carve it for you."
Yu Lingxi shook her head: "No need."
Ning Yin's preferences are different from ordinary people's. Yu Lingxi was not sure what style he wanted, so he planned to buy it back and ask for it, and then ask someone to carve and polish it according to his preferences.
Because what she bought was jade, Su Wan didn't think much about it, and walked out of Linlangfang happily, holding Yu Lingxi's hand.
At the same time, the opposite tea shop.
The young servant glanced out from the window of Yajianxuan, and then said "Huh", "Second Young Master, isn't that the carriage of First Young Master Yu?"
Xue Cen followed his gaze to the side of the street, just in time to see a slim figure coming out of Linlangfang.
Even wearing a veiled hat, Xue Cen recognized Yu Lingxi at a glance.
He couldn't hide his joy, and was about to get up and go downstairs, but he saw a slightly petite woman behind him, dressed as a bride.
Mrs. Yu Shao was also there, Xue Cen had no choice but to suppress the joy in his eyes, and sat back dignifiedly.
"Young master, don't you want to say hello?" the boy asked.
Xue Cen shook his head lightly, with a deep and restrained expression, and said in a gentle voice: "The new wife of the Yu family is here, and I am a foreigner, so I should avoid suspicion."
The public is not a private occasion, even if he went down at this time, he would not be able to say a few words due to the presence of his friend's new wife.
The little servant pouted and muttered in a low voice: "Young master is too decent, but whoever is willing to use a little trick, who can't get it?"
Two knocks on the door broke the silence.
The tea slave ushered in a tall, thin and steady man.
Xue Cen immediately got up and called out respectfully, "Brother."
…
At dusk at sunset, the heat has not dissipated.
Across the street from Yu Mansion, at a shaded corner, a man wearing coarse uniform was watching the movements of Yu Mansion furtively.
A gust of wind blew up behind him, and the man turned his head vigilantly, only to see that the alley was empty and there was no one there.
However, when he turned his head around again, a young man in a dark military uniform appeared in front of him without anyone noticing, standing upright against the slanting light.
Before the exclamation came out, it was strangled in the throat, and fell to the ground with a plop.
Ning Yin grabbed the man's collar with one hand and dragged his heavy body. The long shadow turned into the back alley and disappeared in the afterglow.
With his hands behind his back, he kicked off the man's lower garment with his toes, revealing the hangtag on his waist.
"People from the East Palace?" Ning Yin snorted coldly.
With Ning Tan's pig brain, it is impossible to find out his hiding place so quickly.
That's only possible, it's for the Yu family.
Ning Yin wiped her hands slowly, then her eyes darkened.
If he remembered correctly, Yu Lingxi just left the house in Yu Huanchen's carriage?
