Those three spoonfuls of finely ground pepper powder were so spicy that even the walnuts on the side could swallow their throats with fear.

But Ning Yin didn't hesitate, took the wine cup and drank it down.

Even Yu Lingxi was a little surprised now.

From her impression, she remembered that Ning Yin couldn't eat spicy food very much.

The purpose of giving him this glass of wine is to test whether his xinxing is really different from his previous life, and the second is to see his knuckles are red from the cold, just to take a few sips to drive away the cold.

Unexpectedly, the young Ning Yin was so sincere.

"Thank you miss..."

Before he finished speaking, Ning Yin felt a sharp pungent choke in his throat, and hurriedly turned his head and clenched his fist against the tip of his nose, the corners of his eyes turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his thin lips had the cold light of wine, which was nothing to him His blood-colored handsome face was stained with a bright color.

There is a sense of vulnerability, as if someone has just been bullied.

Ning Yin wanted to drink again, but Yu Lingxi reached out to cover his cup in time.

Her white hands were extremely slender, and her nails were slightly pink, like a few fallen plums on the snow.

She said: "There is prickly ash in Tusu wine, if you can't eat spicy food, drink less."

"I can drink."

Ning Yin's thin lips were flushed, she looked at Yu Lingxi and said, "Miss treats me well, I can't let you down."

It was a look that Yu Lingxi had never seen in her previous life, and she was cautiously ingratiating.

She withdrew her hand and retorted in a low voice: "Who will treat you well?"

"Miss took me in to recuperate, gave me new clothes to wear, and even poured wine for me."

Ning Yin said seriously, "Miss is the person who treats me best in this world."

Crushed snow rolled in from under the bamboo curtain, was coated with a layer of warm yellow by the gauze lamp, and melted in the boiling heat of the small stove.

Yu Lingxi has always felt that Ning Yin's voice is deep and pleasant, and if she talks about love, no one will be able to resist it. It's a pity that what came out of his mouth was always a cold killing intent.

Unexpectedly, the good words that I had never heard in the previous life have been filled up in this life.

Yu Lingxi looked away from Ning Yin's face, feeling a little guilty for some reason.

She is kind by nature and can't bear to kill or harm others, but she has a grudge against what Ning Yin did in her previous life. No matter who died on his couch for no reason, and the body was abandoned after death and became a lonely ghost, it would be difficult to let go of it.

She knew that Ning Yin liked bright colors, but the new clothes she gave him were inconspicuous dark blue and dark; she also remembered that Ning Yin didn't eat spicy food, but she still gave him the Tusu wine with pepper powder...

Yu Lingxi can't kill like Ning Yin, but no matter how spineless she is, she knows that she should not live her life around Ning Yin's preferences.

He said that she was the person who treated him best in the world, maybe it was a lie, but Yu Lingxi still softened her gaze.

She rested her chin, her apricot eyes were bright and clear, she pointed at the corner of Ning Yin's mouth, imitating the tone of his previous life: "Smile."

Ning Yin was startled, then raised the corners of her mouth obediently, revealing a harmless smile.

That smile was like the spring breeze warming the white snow, and faint ripples flashed in Yu Lingxi's eyes.

Yu Lingxi has never seen Ning Yin show such a clean smile, there is no conspiracy, no **** murderous intent, only the amiable youthful heart.

Yu Lingxi was so well-behaved and temperless as a masked person, and Yu Lingxi suddenly felt discouraged, and it seemed that there was no point in playing petty temper with him.

The vigilance and grudge in my heart were gradually shaken and faded in this smile.

So she also smiled, and for the first time, she showed a relaxed and carefree smile in front of Ning Yin.

Ning Yin didn't understand why she was laughing, but seeing her happy, she raised the corners of her mouth more vigorously, and her dark and deep eyes locked firmly on the smiling beauty under the lamp.

"I've changed my mind." Yu Lingxi looked at the boy in front of him with a smile in her warm radiance.

The oppression Ning Yin caused her in her previous life was so strong and tragic that her first reaction when seeing him in this life was to settle accounts and draw a clear line, and from now on, the farther away from him the better...

Perhaps, there is a second way between them?

Yu Lingxi's cheeks were flushed with wine, but her eyes were brighter than ever.

"After eating these drinks and food, go back to your room early to rest."

Yu Lingxi said, "Don't sweep the snow in the courtyard."

Ning Yin thought that she was going to chase her away again, so she hurriedly raised her eyes, and there was a trace of panic-like emotion in her dark eyes.

Yu Lingxi got up, looked at the afterglow of fireworks in the distant night sky, and said with a chuckle, "I'll have plenty of time in the future, maybe there's something I can use you for?"

Hearing what she meant, the panic in Ning Yin's eyes dissipated, and her Adam's apple twitched: "Miss means..."

"Yes, I can keep you."

Yu Lingxi looked into his eyes and replied, "I hope you, don't let me down."

Ning Yin immediately said: "I am willing to do anything for Miss."

Yu Lingxi opened her lips, she wanted to say a lot, but in the end she didn't say anything, she just mentioned the lantern on the bluestone in front of the steps, and went straight to the wing.

Under the corridor, the young man stood bowed for a long time.

Until the lamp that watched her disappear behind the moon gate, he straightened up and sat down with his robe lifted, picked up the still warm Tusu wine on the food table, and poured a glass.

Ning Yin picked up the wine glass but did not drink it down, the shadow cast by the bamboo curtain blocked his expression.

When the wind blows, the bamboo curtains move, and in the rippling wine, the young man's lips are as cool and light as a hunter's.

"How can it be enough to stay?"

Next, he needs to gain her trust, get close to her, and openly set up a situation that has been dormant for a long time.

…

Back in the wing room, Yu Lingxi leaned against the door and let out a long sigh of relief.

Hu Tao put the gauze lantern on the table, lit the candlestick again, and saw her master's preoccupied appearance when she looked back, she couldn't help talking: "Miss, although our family has a great business, it would be difficult to have more than a few hundred servants." I can afford it, but he is just a nameless vagrant beggar after all, isn't it too kind and impulsive for you to recruit him into the mansion without treating his wounds?"

Yu Lingxi also felt that she made this decision hastily, but she didn't regret it.

Although she solved Beizheng's current crisis, her father and brother have been unable to find out who is behind the trap.

No matter who the enemy is, it's hard to escape a high position and weight, and it may even be a member of the royal family...

That's someone Yu Lingxi can't shake, so the best way is to take advantage of Ning Yin's current distress and support him secretly. After two or three years, when he has power over the world, he will be able to become the backer of the Yu family and eradicate the treacherous men behind the scenes.

The only problem is that she knows Ning Yin too well.

Even if he acts harmless to humans and animals now, Yu Lingxi will never forget his brutal temperament in his previous life, which only held revenge but never repaid favors. Such a person is undoubtedly an extremely dangerous blade, which can hurt others as well as oneself.

If she is not careful, she will lose everything.

How to get Ning Yin to change his temper a little bit and accept the kindness of the Yu family is Yu Lingxi's biggest headache right now.

"Since I promised him, let's take a step and see."

Yu Lingxi called Hu Tao to her side, and said, "Give that man a clean and airy room, don't allow him to come to the front yard, and don't allow anyone to order him to do dirty and heavy work. Also, if the father and brother ask, You said that I stayed to raise the cat for me."

Hu Tao agreed: "I understand."

After the new year, Ning Yin's injuries are almost healed.

It's also strange, since I promised to keep him, his recovery speed has been much faster.

Yu Lingxi hadn't figured out how to take the next step, so she simply let him stay in the backyard, took a portion of her monthly money to raise him, and asked him to take care of the kitten Hua Nu for her.

This thought is more than half a month has passed.

When I came back to my senses, the snow had melted into spring, and the dozen or so peach trees in the garden trembled and revealed new buds.

Tang Gongfu sent an invitation card, inviting the brothers and sisters of the Yu family to go to Guiyun Mountain on the outskirts of the city for an outing and hunting in seven days.

In her previous life, Yu Lingxi was confined to the Zhao Mansion and Wang Mansion for many years. In this life, she was distracted by the affairs of her father and brother Bei Zheng and Ning Yin when she was reborn. She didn't have time to go out to play and relax. Being invited by her best friend, she naturally worked hard. I want to go.

What's more, Tang Gongfu's prestige is quite high. The only granddaughter of the old matriarch is going to preside over the hunt. Most of the officials' children in Beijing will go there by appointment, which is just convenient for Yu Lingxi to inquire about some news.

The hunt will last for two or three days, and Madam Yu is worried that Yaonu will be injured from the cold because she is delicate and weak, so she did not agree with Yu Lingxi's acceptance.

But I couldn't hold back my little daughter's pleading, so I let go and said: "Your brother is busy with affairs in the court, so he can't go with you, so let Xin Yi accompany you. Bring more guards and grooms. If others hunt, you can just watch from a distance. Don't go there." Run where it's dangerous."

Yu Lingxi repeatedly nodded in agreement, and then went down to make travel arrangements.

At the beginning of March, the biting chill in the wind faded, and the warmth melted away.

Yu Xinyi had already rectified the hunt for the accompanying men and horses, and there was a lot of excitement outside the gate of the house.

Yu Lingxi changed into a narrow-sleeved spring shirt that was convenient for traveling, and saw Hu Tao holding a jewelry box, and asked with a smile, "What kind of hairpin do you want to wear, miss? I have inquired about it, and there are quite a lot of noble girls who have accepted the appointment today. The cousin of the mansion will also go! The lady must choose some luxurious and beautiful jewelry, and compare them all!"

Hearing the words "Miss Zhao Fu Cousin", Yu Lingxi's hand picking up the jewelry paused slightly.

All kinds of experiences in the Zhao Mansion in the previous life, and the **** face that was scratched by Ning Yin after his death are still vivid in his memory.

She suppressed the complicated emotions in her heart, breathed a long sigh of relief, randomly picked out a pair of emerald butterfly bead flowers that looked pleasing to the eye from the box, and said, "Just wear this."

Hu Tao recognized the pair of bead flowers, pursed her lips and smiled, with the appearance of "I really chose this one".

At the hour of Chen, the accompanying attendants of the hunting party set off from the Yu Mansion in a majestic manner.

Yu Lingxi and her personal maid rode in the carriage, and Yu Xinyi was very skilled, so he rode his horse alone to clear the way.

When they arrived at the city gate, Xue Cen and several members of the gentry had been waiting for a long time.

Xue Cen only nodded to meet Yu Xinyi, then rode towards Yu Lingxi's carriage, reined in and called out, "Second Sister."

Yu Lingxi lifted the curtain of the car, poked her head out and responded, "Brother Cen, why are you still here?"

"Waiting for you to move forward together."

As he said that, Xue Cen saw the pair of pearl flowers on Yu Lingxi's hairpin, his eyes lit up, and a little blush appeared on his clear face, "Second sister wears them, but the pair of jade pearl flowers I gave you last year?"

Yu Lingxi smiled and subconsciously touched the top of her head.

Xue Cen mistakenly thought her silence was shyness, and thought that last time he was really sensitive and worried, and the second sister had him in her heart!

Otherwise, why did you specially wear the beaded flowers he gave you to meet you?

"Second sister understands what I mean, that's enough."

After saying this, Xue Cen's eyes were full of spring, and he gave Yu Lingxi a nostalgic look, and then he whipped his horse and ran forward amidst the urging of his companions.

Tuliu Yu Lingxi sat in the car with a dazed expression.

It is inconvenient for hunting to wear complicated hairpins, so she just saw that the pair of pearls and flowers were simple and elegant in shape, suitable for traveling, so she picked them at random, but unexpectedly it was a gift from Xue Cen.

After two lifetimes, she really couldn't remember whether she bought or gave this pearl hairpin. No wonder Hu Tao had a strange smile in the morning.

Yu Lingxi wanted to pick off the bead flower, but in doing so, she was a little bit trying to cover up, so she had to give up resentfully.

The carriage drove for two hours, and finally arrived at the foot of Guiyun Mountain at noon.

A lot of luxurious carriages had already parked outside, and the laughter of greetings and greetings was accompanied by horseshoes, so it was very lively.

The breeze is blowing, the sun is warm, and the air is filled with fresh breath.

The maid raised the curtain of the carriage, and just as Yu Lingxi bent down and got out of the carriage, she saw a strong arm with a wristband handed over from one side.

Yu Lingxi subconsciously put her palm on the attendant's arm, turned her head to look, and was caught off guard by a pair of beautiful dark eyes.

Ning Yin?

Yu Lingxi remembered that he was not on the accompanying list, so she couldn't help being surprised, "Why are you here?"
