Chapter 1939 I Am a Man

Leng Rushuang waved: "Come in, it's very cold. Go and look at the counter. If you like any wine, you can get it yourself."

Wei Jintai hurriedly walked in, closed the door, and walked to the counter. As expected, he saw a lot of wine jars piled there, large and small, all with names on them.

There are many kinds of cold ponds, green bamboo leaves, and white dews in autumn.

The inn is not big, but there is a lot of wine.

It shows that the landlady is a wine lover.

Wei Jintai bent down and picked up a jar of Qiu Lubai, turned back to Leng Rushuang, put down a piece of silver, and said, "I want this jar, so there is no need to look for it."

Leng Rushuang raised her eyes, glanced at it, and said with a smile: "Such a small jar of wine only costs one penny. Can you give me one ingot or ten taels of silver?"

"By disturbing me at this time, I can apologize to Miss Leng."

"You kid, it's interesting to talk." Leng Rushuang held her chin up and looked at him, "Little Atai, you are the brother-in-law of the Jin family and someone close to the Queen. You are also said to be young and noble. This is a Chinese New Year. Yes, not even wine?”

Wei Jintai was glanced at by her drunken eyes, and his body became a little stiff for a moment. He smiled and said: "It is my duty to take a nap during the Chinese New Year, and it just so happens that I am not on duty today. I live by myself and rarely open fires, so I don't store much wine."

"Oh, have you eaten?"

"Not yet."

"Then sit down and take a bite." Leng Rushuang pointed to the chair casually, "I still have a lot of dumplings left, and I can't finish them anyway."

Wei Jintai looked at the two sets of bowls and chopsticks on the table. It was obvious that someone was sitting across from them.

He said: "I won't disturb Miss Leng's hospitality."

"There's no one there, everyone's gone. Sit down, there's so much fuss."

"...Okay." Wei Jintai sat down, reached out to touch the plate, and said with a frown, "These dumplings and vegetables are completely cold. If you eat them again, you will get a bad stomach."

"It's warm in the house, it's okay."

"no."

Wei Jintai stood up, picked up the dumplings and said, "Miss Leng, please wait a moment, I'll go to the kitchen to heat them up. Soon."

Leng Rushuang watched in astonishment as he rolled up his sleeves, took all the dumplings and vegetables back, heated them up, and brought them back again.

She smiled and said: "I can't tell, you kid is quite neat in doing things. You must also be from a noble family. It's not easy."

Wei Jintai pushed the dumplings in front of her and said, "Being a noble is not a big deal. I lived outside for three years. When I was very hungry, I peeled off the bark of trees and cooked them. What's the point of being poor?"

Leng Rushuang held her chin up and smiled: "Bitter first, then sweet. Look at how good you are now, you have a bright future."

Wei Jintai smiled, with the shyness unique to a young man.

"Miss Leng, stop drinking and eat some dumplings." Wei Jintai said, pouring another plate of vinegar and placing it in front of her.

Leng Rushuang smiled and said, "You are a very considerate kid."

"I'm not a child."

"You are just a child in my eyes."

"I am twenty years old and a man." Wei Jintai looked into her eyes and said seriously.

Leng Rushuang chuckled, laughed for a long time, and sighed: "You are so young."

"Miss Leng is still very young."

"Me? How many years older can I be your mother?" she said with a smile.

She picked up the wine bottle and wanted to drink again, but was held down by a hand.

"Stop drinking, you have a bad stomach and you will feel uncomfortable if you drink too much." Wei Jintai said.

Leng Rushuang raised her eyebrows: "How do you know?"

"When I... came with the Queen, I overheard what you said."
