Nalan Jinnian reached out and pushed a piece of hair from her forehead behind her ear, and said softly: "Yes."
"Aren't you busy with something? I want to sleep."
"Well, I'm going back."
Nalan Jinnian still had something to deal with, so he climbed over the wall and went back to Prince Jin's Mansion.
When he climbed over the wall, his nose itched and he sneezed unconsciously.
Nalan Jinnian rubbed his nose subconsciously.
He sneezed inexplicably: Brother Huang must be plotting against him again!
After thinking about it, he didn't think that Brother Huang would have anything to do for him recently, so he just forgot about it.

The warm sleep lasted until evening.
She was awakened by the patter of rain outside.
It was true that she had slept too little during these days, and she had not yet made up for it, so she was rather sleepy.
Nalan Jinnian had already returned from work and was sitting in the room reading a book and waiting for her.
Wen Nuan freshened up and walked out.
Nalan Jinnian put down the book and waved to her: "Lin Feng has found out."
Nuan Nuan came to sit next to him: "What did you find?"
Wen Nuan poured herself a cup of tea, which was Liu'an Guapian.
Nalan Jinnian had several plants transplanted back to Beijing. Wen Nuan planted them in the back mountains, raised them with purple air, and fried them herself.
You can get one or two every month, the quantity is not much, Nalan Jinnian's favorite.
Lu'an melon slices have a noble aroma and long aftertaste, just like the faint and refreshing fragrance of tea that always carries with them.
The tea flavor developed with purple gas is stronger and leaves people with endless aftertaste.
In modern times, Nuan Nuan originally preferred drinking coffee to drinking tea, but now... probably because of him, he also fell in love with drinking tea.
It's raining heavily outside, the fragrance of tea lingers in the house, and the room is warm and comfortable.
Nalan Jinnian also picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip of tea: "Sure enough, it's because of the woman..."
Nalan Jinnian said briefly.
It turned out that Xu Shan's mother had arranged a baby match for him, and she was the daughter of one of his mother's cousins.
The girl had haircut the year before last, her father had died early, and later her mother also died of illness. Her brother and sister-in-law were in charge of the house, and the eldest sister-in-law had never been able to tolerate her. She wanted to sell her to a fool from a rich family to be the wife of her nephew, so as to give her nephew a future.
Before her death, her mother did not trust her, so she took out the marriage certificate and twelve private rooms, and asked her and her brother to come to the capital to find their relatives.
Then the two of them met a dandy on the road on the outskirts of the capital and wanted to take her back to his hometown as a concubine.
She didn't want to, so he wanted to use force.
In order to save her, the woman's brother pushed the man's servant down the mountain.
When the woman struggled to resist, her brother stoned the dude who wanted to harm her to death.
At that time, Xu Shan went out to do errands and happened to pass by. He saw it from a distance.
When they came over, the girl was disheveled, and the two siblings were frightened and crying.
This was a life-threatening incident, and Xu Shan, the dandy, knew him as Xiang Yang, the nephew of the wife of the Minister of War.
Xiang Yang's family is in business and has some assets, and because his aunt is the wife of the Minister of War, she runs rampant at the bottom of the capital.
Xiang Yang was known as a playboy who idled around all day long. He started visiting flower houses at the age of fourteen, and by the time he was eighteen, he already had more than a dozen wives and concubines at home.
Although he is a playboy, he also knows not to provoke those who cannot be provoked, and he is considered a bully.
His concubines were either redeemed from brothels, or they were purchased by people who met beautiful women from poor families and came to buy them with coercion and inducement.
The price is high. In this dynasty, especially poor families, girls are not valued and they think they are money-losing goods, so they usually sell them. Some were unwilling, but because they were afraid of the rich and powerful, and because they didn't want to cause trouble and ruin their families, they sold them all.
The Minister of War also threatened that he had nothing to do with his family because he was such a bastard.
Probably because he saw the woman's two siblings going to Beijing to look for relatives. At first glance, they looked like people with no relatives and no one to rely on.
Moreover, the woman was really good-looking, so Xiang Yang took the evil intention of a bully and used force, but he didn't expect to be beaten to death!
Xu Shan originally wanted to take the person back to the Yamen, but after all, a life was lost.
But after asking, I found out that they were actually here to defect to me.
The woman was still his unmarried wife. Her parents died early and her brother and sister-in-law couldn't tolerate her.
This life experience is so similar to Xu Shan.
Xu Shan met Nalan Jinnian, and they had just met him.
The two of them originally wanted to go to the Yamen to surrender. If they killed someone, even if it was manslaughter, they would go to jail.
The girl didn't want her brother to go to jail, and the brother didn't want his sister to go to jail. They were competing to claim that they killed the person.
Seeing this, Xu Shan felt compassion and felt that Xiang Yang's death was more than justified, so he helped them smooth over the matter.
As a deputy general and a member of Nalan Jinnian, it was not difficult to settle this matter. After all, it was his fiancée that Xiang Yang wanted to destroy, and Xiang Yang was at fault first.
The Minister of War has always disliked Xiang Yang and often warned them not to do anything in his name, and the Xiang family did not dare to speak out.
Moreover, Xiang Jiaming did not do anything under the banner of the Minister of War, but privately the businessmen also gave Xiang a lot of benefits because they were relatives of the Minister of War.
Besides, Xiang Yang was just the eldest son of a concubine. The mistress of the Xiang family treated him well on the surface and wanted to flatter him, but she didn't take it seriously in her heart, so let's forget about it.
Later, Xu Shan bought a small courtyard in the capital and settled the two of them.
He also found an academy for the woman's brother so that he could study and learn to read.
The woman was beautiful, gentle and gentle, and she was his fiancée. After getting along for a long time, Xu Shan also fell in love with her.
The two originally planned to wait for the woman to observe mourning for three years before getting married.
Because he had to observe mourning for three years and Xu Shan had a dull temper, no one in the army knew he had a fiancée.
It is exactly three years this year. The woman has gone to Guofu Temple to find the wedding day. At the end of the year, both of them are looking forward to it.
On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, Xu Shan was so happy that he got drunk, and the two of them performed the courtesy of Zhou Gong in advance.
Later, the woman was overjoyed because of this.
There is a joy before marriage. This matter is not easy to spread and it will be bad for the woman's reputation.
Therefore, no one in the military camp knew about Xu Shan.
Unexpectedly, something unexpected would happen.
Because of this, the Minister of War knew that Xu Shan had a fiancée and threatened Xu Shan. If Xu Shan did not comply, he would have her innocence destroyed and her killed.
Xu Shan did not respond at first and wanted to search secretly. Xu Shan waited for a day and then received a finger. Later, he became afraid, so he did this.
Sure enough, the man released the two siblings. Xu Shan gave the woman a lot of money and asked her to take her brother out of the capital and live incognito.
He only hoped that the woman, the child in her belly, and her brother would be safe.
After hearing this, Wen Nuan couldn't help but ask: "Xu Shan confessed? Have the woman and her brother been found?"
"Found it, Xiao Bai found it. The two of them were killed as soon as they left the capital. Lin Feng brought Xu Shan to their corpses, and Xu Shan did it. After Xu Shan did it, he bit his tongue and committed suicide."
