Chen Rui finished his official duties in the study room, shook his sore neck, raised his eyes to look at the moonlight outside the window, put down his pen and stood up.
Qing'er, the servant who had been waiting by his side, saw his tired appearance, quickly picked up the outer robe in his hand and put it on him, and asked with concern: "Master, it's getting late, go back and rest?"
Chen Rui nodded, got up and left the study. He was going to go to his second wife Lin Xueyao tonight, but Lin Xueyao felt that the mansion was not full of trouble today, and he wanted to say something to persuade him to take a concubine, so he was really not in the mood to go to Lin Xueyao again. The yard is here!
Qing'er knew that Chen Rui was in a bad mood and did not dare to ask which wife he was going to spend the night in, and followed him silently behind him.
Chen Rui originally planned to go back to his room to rest, but looking at the bright moonlight, he walked unknowingly outside Wei Zijin's Lixiang Garden.
Seeing Chen Rui suddenly stopped outside the eldest lady's yard, Qing'er guessed what the Secretary of the Heart thought and laughed in a low voice: "The master originally wanted to come to accompany the eldest lady, so the servant asked the guard to open the yard door... …”
Chen Rui stood outside Wei Zijin's yard, always remembering the situation where she drove her away before. After a song, they had a longer night of warmth, and then they let go of their past grudges. From then on, the piano and the stern sounded, but Wei Zijin did not give him this opportunity. !
Now in this quiet night, he came to Wei Zijin's Lixiangyuan again, and he was still unable to be sure whether she would be as cold and alienated to him as she did last time.
Chen Rui's mood for women has never been as complicated as it is now. Unconsciously, when Lin Xueyao proposed to take a concubine, Wei Zijin's indifferent and cold reaction suddenly lost interest, waved his hand and said to the servant Qing'er: " Forget it, she must have gone to bed so late!"
However, Qing'er had already knocked on the door of Lixiangyuan. When the guards saw that it was Lord Shangshu who came, they dared not drive him away. They hurriedly saluted respectfully: "Lord Shangshu, it turns out it is you!"
Since the yard door had been opened, Chen Rui had to put his hands behind him and step into Lixiangyuan as if calm.
"Have the eldest lady been asleep?" Chen Rui pretended to ask unintentionally, and the servant of Lixiangyuan who was lit up with a lantern and hurriedly replied: "Madam is not asleep yet!"
Chen Rui nodded with satisfaction and walked to Wei Zijin's room. He faintly smelled a faint fragrance, refreshing and forgetting the customs when he smelled it. Even the fatigue of reviewing official documents at the beginning was dispelled by the faint fragrance.
"What is this fragrance?" Chen Rui asked subconsciously. When Huan'er, who was busy in the yard, saw Lord Shangshu coming, he bowed and replied respectfully: "Reply to Lord Shangshu, this is the fragrance of pear blossoms brewed. Woolen cloth!"
"Pear Blossom Brew?" Chen Rui repeated these three words in confusion, and his eyes fell on the wine jar that Huan'er was holding: "Is this Pear Blossom Brew?"
Huan'er nodded and smiled, "Yes, this was brewed by the lady himself. I plan to bury it first, and wait until the wine is stronger and then take it out, and it will definitely taste better!"
Chen Rui nodded, looking at the jar of wine in Huan'er's hand a little lost. It turned out that Wei Zijin could make wine, but he didn't know at all...
What else is there on her that he doesn't know?!
Chen Rui shook his head and smiled bitterly, suppressed the sourness in his heart, and said to Huan'er: "Since it is a good wine brewed by your wife, I want to try it even more. Put down this jar of wine!"
