It rained for a day, and it finally stopped.

After the gloomy dark clouds faded away, there was a still dark sky with only a string of crescent moons connected to a few stars, appearing alone in the sky, echoing the lights below. After the rain had been falling for a long time, the ground was wet and muddy, and the people did not come out to walk around. The whole courtyard was empty. If it weren't for the lights, I would have regarded this place as an abandoned house.

Obviously, this place is not a new house, it is a bit dilapidated and obviously inconsistent with the current owner's identity.

Ruan Qin walked out of the boudoir. It was late at night. She had already left her servant and waited for the husband to return to the room, but there was no one in sight for a long time. She had to wear a thin shirt, open the door, and stretched out her head to look outside. The dilapidated house was empty and scary. Even though she had the courage she had learned since childhood, she felt a little distressed in her heart... It was okay on weekdays, at least she had a servant to accompany her, but now, the little girl of the embroiderer probably had already fallen asleep, so she couldn't bother her, so she could only go there alone.

In the eyes of outsiders, as the concubine of King Langya, Ruan Qin's background is already a model of successful women, and she is deeply favored by King Langya. This is even more enviable. Whenever she hears her familiar sister Kai, she will always smile gently and deal with it. She does not mention the intimacy between the two, but the relationship between the two is not as close as that outsiders think.

Instead, it is to be more intimate.

People's evaluation of King Sima Yi of Langya is nothing more than sayings such as "both virtuous and talented" and "duty and simplicity". However, they do not know that the reason why Sima Yi developed such virtue is closely related to Ruan Qin. In fact, Sima Yi's situation is not very good. Although his brother was the emperor, he also had a general of cavalry. He was in charge of the official position of the founding official and the three officials, but did not have his own shogunate and subordinates, but chose a more lightweight Zhongzheng official. The reason for this was also because of Ruan Qin's persuasion... Ruan Qin was both a concubine and an aide, and only because the woman was not allowed to participate in politics, she had to go wherever she went.

Ruan Qin knocked on the door of the study, and after getting Sima Yi's approval, she walked in. She saw Sima Yi facing her back to her, facing the rockery bamboo forest behind the back window, staring at it with concentration without any sleepiness.

She walked behind Sima Yi, stretched out her arms to wrap her arms around him, put her face on her back, and said, "Don't you plan to sleep?"

Sima Yi shook his neck and did not turn around. He just stretched out his hand and stretched backwards, covering Ruan Qin's buttocks, gently kneading it, making the atmosphere a little charming: "I can't sleep, there are too many things recently."

"Hangjun has given up a lot of power, but hasn't been able to get rid of the attention over there?"

"It's been a while since I left there. I don't know your majesty's condition, but your majesty has no children. Although I hope your majesty will recover soon, there will always be someone who will make worse plans and communicate with me with some benefits... However, I don't have that intention after all. Many times I want to tell them directly, don't bother me again, but when the words are at the mouth, I can only hold it back!" Sima Yi turned around, hugged Ruan Qin and fell on the soft couch, gently brushing his palm across his beloved concubine's convex body, but his face was filled with sorrow.

Ruan Qin blinked, grabbed his dishonest hand, and hugged it in her arms: "For example, Xu Jinyan, the governor of Kuaiji County?"

"That old thing..." Sima Yi gradually let go of his feelings by his beloved concubine, probably because he was a little lazy and liked to live a leisurely life, so those troubles made him worry. Now when he heard his beloved concubine mention Xu Shen, he made him laugh, "Qin'er, do you know that Xu Jinyan has already attacked Uncle Wang?"

"It really happened? Although it had some influence on him because of Wang Shuping's reasons, Wang Shuping was the son of Yi Shao. Recently, he seemed quite famous. Although he had no intention of becoming an official, he was also a talented person. Although Xu Shen was a member of the Xu family, he was afraid that he would be against Wang Shuping... Could it be..." Ruan Qin's heart was shocked, and after following Sima Yi to Kuaiji County, he had been in contact with Xu Shen for some time. She naturally knew about the people around Xu Shen, "Someone is secretly helping him?"

"I don't know this. I just heard that he has been dating more frequently with those refugee coaches recently. A few days ago, he had a short gather with Du Zigong's disciple Sun Jingyuan for a while." Sima Yi looked at Sun Tai's whereabouts, "But there is no need to worry too much about these things. His method of forcing Wang Boyuan to resign from office was too low. Although this move could save the face of the Wang family, it would not cause any harm. I am afraid that he would have any other means to fight the Wang family in the future."

"Yi Shao, Bo Yuan's mind is not in political discussions, but is only a lineage of the Wang family after all. Moreover, when he met Wang Shuping that day, although he was a humble gentleman on the surface, I always thought he was a cruel person." Ruan Qin said her feelings, "What do you think?"

"I can't see it, but I think that Wang Shuping's character is of the best quality, and his personality is somewhat similar to mine... Haha, but I believe Qin'er's guess. Perhaps, Wang Yishao's lineage, who is used to leisure, may be able to produce a ruthless person. I don't need to rush to take action. It depends on Wang Shuping's ability. I don't believe Xu Jinyan is eyeing him. He can still be out of the matter and cover up his abilities tightly and not show it at all..." Sima Yi said with a smile. Maybe he thought of a scene where Xu Shen forced a ruthless person, and felt that his face was a little rosy. The hand held by his beloved concubine had a feeling. He used a little force, swept over and stood tall, and he skillfully took off his clothes.

"Langjun..." Ruan Qin let it go and fell into it quickly.

The tears candles are red in the top.

...

Wang family, second bedroom, back kitchen.

Unlike usual, there is still lights here today, and even a ray of smoke rises. The kitchenette who specializes in cooking for the second room is scared outside, but not because of the master inside, but because he keeps staring at his ring.

Everyone knows that this little lady serves Erlang and Er Shao’s daily life like Qing'e, and is very favored. She has a high prestige among servants on weekdays. Now she has a stern face, her eyes are blazing fire, and she stares at the kitchen viciously, and keeps muttering: "It's all your fault that you are not good at cooking. Now you force your husband to cook by yourself. Even if I haven't been to school, I know that 'a gentleman stays away from the kitchen', but you have caused your husband to cook by yourself. The real sin is unforgivable..."

He kept chatting, but the little chef was frightened and kept wiping his sweat, but he felt uncomfortable. Why did the little lady in this Huaner say differently from Erlang?

Wang Ningzhi is the one who is busy in the kitchen.

It’s not that Huan'er was angry. In the past few days, Wang Ningzhi lamented that there were too few good things in this era. Drinking porridge and rice all day long made him almost forget the taste of various foods in his later generations, but he had no choice but to do so. There is no greenhouse now. Apart from the seasonal dishes, there is no need to think about the dishes in other seasons. Moreover, the cooking has just appeared, and the styles are not many, and the taste is not very good. So after these days, he drove the kitchen out of the kitchen, cooked himself, and specifically told him not to tell others.

Now I don’t know where Huan’er learned that she was so late and she even touched her in the innocent kitchen and kept scolding her.

"Don't make a noise, come in, Huan'er." He simply just steamed egg custard. Now he just needs to wait to get out of the steamer. There is no need to be busy. Wang Ningzhi called Huan'er in. Looking at the girl's angry look, it was funny, so he knocked on her forehead, "Didn't I say I'm going to Xige (toilet) to go to the toilet? Why did you come with me?"

"It was my wife who asked me to follow me." Huan'er said pitifully with a bitter face covering the place where Wang Ningzhi knocked on him, "My wife said that every time the husband said he would use the toilet recently, he would be able to deliver some novel food in the kitchen shortly after he came back, so he asked me to follow him and see. Now it seems that he is really lying to us."

Wang Ningzhi shook his head: "I know I can't deceive my wife."

"That's it." Huan'er immediately raised her head proudly, showing that she was quite respectful to Xie Daoyun. "Mrs. said that the level of her kitchen is not very high, but the food she sent now is full of color, fragrance and flavor. Moreover, the husband always gave some dishes to the big room these days. Obviously, they were carefully cooked, and there was someone else who could guess the cooking."

"It was made by me. Don't go out and make a fuss. Even if you ask about it from the big room, you should also say that it was made by Guo Shisi." Wang Ningzhi pointed to the kitchen outside.

"But the gentleman, the gentleman is far away from the kitchen..."

"Who said this to you, did you not tell you when you said this to you? This sentence only expresses the mentality of the ancient gentlemen who could not bear to kill, not that a gentleman could not go to the kitchen... Besides, I am not a gentleman."

"A gentleman is a gentleman, the best gentleman." Huan'er said stubbornly.

"Okay, okay, just as Huan'er said, I'm the best gentleman." It felt like the time was about to be over, Wang Ningzhi opened the lid of the pot first, and a trace of fragrance came towards him. He immediately took out the steamer with a thick layer of cloth, and there were four small bowls inside. He looked at the little girl's eyes and smiled, "If you insist on 'Gentleman staying away from the kitchen', then you won't be able to eat such delicious food in the future."

"Your husband can teach Guo Shisi. Although he is stupid, he will be more handsome as he does."

"This is a good idea." Wang Ningzhi nodded and agreed, thinking that he really couldn't cook often, "Go back, Guo Shisi will send it to him later."

Huan'er responded quickly and followed him out.

After walking for a while, he suddenly stopped and turned around to explain to Huan'er: "When Guo Shisi learns it, our three meals a day will change from now on. You and your wife will eat more."

"Why should I eat more?" Huan'er was very strange. Although she wanted to eat more, girls always had to be reserved. If they wanted to eat more, they couldn't speak up on their own initiative.

"Because..." Wang Ningzhi's thoughts floated a little far away, "Eating these can help your body grow up quickly, and it is also very healthy..."

"grow up?"

“Yes, grow up…”
