Chapter 074: Mist
Chang'an Avenue is even narrow and sloping, and the green cow and white horse are seven incense cars. :3w.γ Wxs520.CoM jade chariot crisscrossed the main one, and the golden whip flocked to the Hou family.
The dragon title covers the sunrise, and the phoenix spits tassels with the sunset. Hundred-foot gossamer scrambles around the tree, and a group of delicate birds cry together. (Note)

Tianxia Wuxiang is not on the main street, and at a corner corner, the front of the shop is not large, which is not very conspicuous at first glance, and it seems a little out of place compared with the prosperity of Chang'an City. But when I went in, I saw that the owner of the store was very attentive, and the small place could be seen everywhere with fine ingenuity. Even a coaster on the table is inlaid with brightly colored enamel sheets, and there are vivid landscape figures on it.
But the most striking thing is the pair of neatly arranged incense sheng, under which is covered with bright red flannel, and the flannel is decorated with fragrant white peonies. In such a snowy winter, such a peony with beads and dew can be said to be more expensive than a thousand gold, but the owner is so generous that he actually folds the branches and puts them in the store only as decoration.
Chuan Lian said: "It's just a small shop, not as atmospheric as Changxiang Palace, Mr. An smiled." β
Due to the dusk, every qiΔ in the store is coated with a faint layer of orange, and the light and shadow are intertwined, which makes it even more mysterious.
An Lan said: "The decoration of this store doesn't look much like a house in Chang'an City. β
At this time, there were no customers in the store, and there were no two people, Chuan Wu and Chuan Gu, Chuan Lian invited An Lan into it, and said: "After going out of that alley, it is Sihaifang City, this shop pΓΉ We were from the hands of Hu Ren, and we didn't change much after taking it, so we opened it directly." β
Here across the alley, is the world-famous Sihaifang City, blonde and blue-eyed Hu Shang trekked through mountains and rivers, not far away, with treasures dancing music, exotic beasts and spices gathered in Chang'an, to show their exotic customs to the black-eyed Orientals.
"How's business?" An Lan asked casually.
Chuan Lian took her around a mica screen, and saw a window, and under the window was a long couch, on which there was a coffee table, and the stove had been burned.
"Mr. To'an's blessing is quite passable." Chuan Lian said polite words in his mouth, but there was no expression on his face, and as she spoke, she took off her shoes and sat down on the couch.
An Lan also went to the bed, and Lu Yuan stood aside.
Chuan Lian seemed to be a deer source without zΓ i, and had no intention of entertaining at all, and after An Lan sat down, she began to cook tea.
Chuanlian's action of cooking tea is good-looking, but it is not skillful enough, and it is far from reaching the realm of flowing clouds and flowing water. An Lan is actually not good at tea ceremony, but Jing Yan Gongzi likes these elegant things, and she has been exposed to it by ear and eye, and she has somewhat trained her eyesight.
After a while, Chuan Lian said the first cup of tea, put it in front of An Lan, and made a gesture of please.
An Lan was about to pick up the cup of tea, but Lu Yuan couldn't help but speak: "Sir! β
Chuan Lian still had no expression on his face, but there was a slight mockery in his eyes.
An Lan picked up the cup of tea, first observed the color of the tea in the cup, then sniffed it gently, then took a sip, and finally raised her eyes: "Tea is good tea." β
Chuan Lian also picked up his cup of tea: "I just learned it for a short time, and my skills are not good." β
An Lan put down the teacup: "Did you just learn?" β
"Yes, it's been less than half a year, and I haven't even touched the threshold." Chuan Lian also put down the teacup and sighed, "The way of tea, like the way of incense, is easy to learn and difficult to master." β
An Lan nodded: "It turns out that Miss Chuanlian is not only interested in the incense ceremony, but also in the tea ceremony. β
Chuan Lian shook his head: "That's not, I learned to cook tea, because I heard that the incense of the Tianshu Hall is good at this." β
An Lan then glanced at her: "Miss Chuanlian learned to cook tea for the incense envoy?" β
Chuan Lian also looked at her and said, "That's right, isn't Mr. An happy?" β
An Lan ignored her provocation, and then asked, "Miss Chuanlian is interested in the incense envoy?" Why? β
Lu Yuan frowned slightly, while he was staring at Chuan Lian tightly, he was also paying attention to the situation in the store. At this time, there was still no one in the store, and it was very quiet, so quiet that you could faintly feel the sound of a heartbeat.
"Isn't Mr. An just as interested in that kind of man?" When Chuan Lian said this, he suddenly smiled, but her smile easily reminded people of four words - skin smile and meat do not smile.
With such a faint face, making such an expression is not ugly at all, but it makes people feel extremely awkward.
"Sir, it's getting late." Lu Yuan couldn't help but speak, "It's time to go back." β
Chuan Lian said: "I have something I want to show Mr. An, I don't know if Mr. An is interested." β
An Lan asked, "What is it?" β
Chuan Lian said: "I know if I see it, but I can only show it to Mr. An, and other people are not qualified." β
As she spoke, she got off the bed, walked inside, and motioned for An Lan to follow.
Lu Yuan hurriedly blocked in front of An Lan: "If Mr. wants to go, please let his subordinates follow." β
An Lan hesitated for a moment, and Chuan Lian turned his head at this time: "I'm a weak woman, if Mr. An is also afraid, then go back." However, this is what Mr. Guanghan left behind with me back then, and Mr. An wants to take a look at it or not, so decide for himself. β
An Lan was stunned for a moment, and looked at Chuan Lian suspiciously: "What Mr. Guanghan fell on you?" β
Chuan Lian stood at the door of the inner room, looked at An Lan and said, "That's right. β
An Lan didn't believe it: "How could Mr. Guanghan have something in your hands?" β
Chuan Lian said: "Is it not, Mr. An will know it at a glance." β
An Lan wanted to stay, and Lu Yuan hurriedly whispered: "Sir, it's probably a trap!" β
An Lan put on her shoes, tidied up her clothes a little, and then looked at Chuan Lian.
Chuan Lian's face was expressionless, with provocation and anticipation in his eyes.
An Lan smiled faintly: "Since it is something left by Mr. Guanghan, then please take care of it." β
Chuan Lian was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't understand what An Lan meant, and before she could figure it out, he saw An Lan turn around and walk out after finishing speaking. She was stunned before she spoke: "You-don't look? β
An Lan stopped and turned her head to look at her: "Since it's not something left to me, I'll see what it's for." β
Chuan Lian was stunned again, but soon she came back to her senses, suddenly smiled, and said: "Mr. An is surprising, so cautious, is he afraid that I will lie to you?" β
An Lan said: "It's not early, there are many disturbances today, so I will leave." β
It's just that she was just about to step out of the store door, when a dart suddenly shot from behind, Lu Yuan immediately popped a dagger out of her sleeve, and at the same time grabbed An Lan's arm and dragged it aside.
But when they stood firm, they found themselves in a fog!
The delicate shop pΓΉ was gone, and in front of me was a cloud of white smoke, with a thick moisture, like a rising fog.
Lu Yuan saw that An Lan was still by his side, and he was still holding her arm, feeling a little relieved, and couldn't help but increase the strength in his hand, and didn't dare to let go.
An Lan didn't care about the faint pain in her arm, she was attracted by the thick fog in front of her.
