Since Jing Erye heard the story from the restaurant, he has been in an indescribable excitement for the past few days, although he does not show it on his face, but every time he picks up the pen to write, the tip of the pen is faintly trembling. If, if what Li Lao said is true, then Jingfu really does not have to be subject to the Great Incense Master in the future, and in the future, the Incense Hall will belong to his descendants!

In Chang'an City, all parties have begun to be greedy for the Changxiang Palace.

The external affairs of the Tianshu Palace, such as the entry and exit of incense materials, the management of incense fields, and the news of incense stores, are basically related to Jingfu, and the personnel involved are very miscellaneous. Soon after the murder of the county lord of Yuyao, many of the external affairs of the Tianshu Hall have been slowed down little by little, and there may not be any obvious changes in a short period of time, but if it takes a long time, all the affairs in the Xiang Hall will be affected by this. If something happens to the incense hall at that time, it is really hard to say what the consequences will be caused by that time.

A thousand miles away from the anthill.

……

When Jing Xiaozhen was about to go out, Jing Ming suddenly walked in and said, "Want to go out?" ”

Jing Xiao hurriedly walked over to support Jing Ming: "Why is Dad here, you are not in good health, what do you instruct." ”

Jing Ming sat on the couch with the smoke cage and glanced at Jing Xiao: "Go out to listen to the book?" ”

Jing Xiao's face was slightly confused: "No, it's going to the academy." ”

Jing Ming asked, "Is Mr. well ill?" ”

"Yes." Jing Xiao nodded, and then asked, "What is Dad looking for me?" ”

"I thought you were going out to listen to books, so I wanted to go with you, since I was going to the academy, then forget it, you go, don't delay the time, let Mr. think you are lazy." Jing Ming stood up as he spoke.

Jing Xiao said with some worry: "What does Dad want to hear, I ordered someone to invite the storyteller to his home, it's snowing again today, it's cold, you are not in good health, don't go out." ”

Jing Ming said: "It's okay, I'll ask the housekeeper to invite you later, you can go to the academy quickly." ”

Jing Xiao and Jing Ming walked outside the house and said, "Daddy, do you want to hear the story of that 'Heavenly Dao Secret Book'?" ”

When he came back that day, he told his father what he heard and saw in the restaurant, and in the past few days, his father still asked him about the day's events from time to time.

Jing Ming nodded slightly, and patted Jing Xiao on the shoulder: "This matter is not that simple, so you don't trust anyone." ”

Jing Xiao hesitated and asked, "What does Dad mean?" ”

Jing Ming coughed a few times before he said, "You go to the academy first, and then you come back." ”

It's really not too early.

Jing Ming looked at the back of Jing Xiao leaving in a hurry, and then thought about the story he heard a few days ago, with deep worry on his face.

……

Jing Xiao and Graphite went out through the side door of Jingfu, his carriage was already waiting there, he got into the carriage as usual, Graphite also came in together, and then the carriage drove to the academy.

Because of the snow and a little wind, he closed the windows and curtains tightly.

Therefore, when the carriage stopped, he got out of the carriage, and suddenly realized that this was not a college, but a strange place.

Graphite was also stunned, and hurriedly said to the coachman: "Zhao Shu, why did you go the wrong way, this is ......"

It was only when he looked over that he realized that the coachman had changed at some point, a stranger he had never seen before.

Graphite hurriedly blocked Jing Xiao behind him: "You, who are you?" What about Zhao Shu? ”

The coachman jumped out of the car, Jing Xiao and Graphite couldn't help but take a step back, and Graphite said a little nervously: "What are you going to do!" ”

The coachman just glanced at them: "Mr. An invites the third young master to come in and talk." ”

Jing Xiao was stunned: "Mr. An? Be...... Ontara incense? ”

The coachman nodded slightly, and made a gesture to come in.

Jing Xiao pushed away the graphite: "Where is this?" ”

There was no door outside Kou Meilin, and naturally he couldn't see anything like a plaque, and he had never been to such a place, so he didn't know.

The coachman said: "This is Kou Meilin, the third young master, please, don't let Mr. An wait for a long time." ”

However, Jing Xiao said, "How can I be sure that you were sent by Mr. An?" ”

The coachman glanced at Jing Xiao and took out the waist card of the Tianshu Palace.

Jing Xiao's face froze, and he was surprised and nervous in his heart, was it really Mr. An looking for him? Why? What are you talking about?

He followed the coachman all the way in with some trepidation, and he had no intention of admiring the beautiful scenery here, until he walked into a delicate courtyard and saw the picturesque figure in the octagonal pavilion in the courtyard, and he finally determined that it was true!

The coachman silently withdrew, and Graphite was invited to the gatehouse of the courtyard to wait.

Jing Xiao walked into the pavilion carefully, An Lan turned his face, and he couldn't help but lower his eyes.

He forgot to salute, but the other party was not surprised, but spoke first, his voice was cold and soft: "I invited the third young master without authorization, but I caused trouble to the third young master?" ”

Jing Xiao came back to his senses and said busily: "No! Then he remembered that he hadn't yet saluted, so he hurriedly made another junior salute.

An Lan waited for him to raise his face before saying, "Don't be formal, sit down, come close and sit warmer." ”

There is a large copper tire charcoal basin in the pavilion, the charcoal fire in it is burning very strongly, and from time to time there is a crackling sound, and the fire light is reflected on the woman's face, like the most beautiful touch in the sunset, with magic power, which makes people awe-inspiring.

Jing Xiao stepped forward and sat down cautiously.

This is different from when he was with Lu Yu, he has never had such a restrained and excited time, it is not that he has never seen Mr. An, but every time in the past, there are other elders present, either his father or Jing Gong, he is just accompanying him. Even if his father asked him to go to the Xiangdian to give gifts in previous years, it was the long history of the Xiangdian, or he was received by the source of Xiangxiang, and he never even spoke to Mr. An alone.

Today's invitation made him feel valued like never before.

"Before you know it, you've grown so big." An Lan glanced at him a few times and smiled faintly, "I still remember when I first saw you, I was like a child." ”

Jing Xiao raised his eyes and saw An Lan smiling, and then showed a somewhat shy smile.

An Lan asked, "Don't you wonder what I'm looking for you?" ”

Jing Xiao relaxed a little, thought for a while, and said, "Does Mr. have any orders?" ”

An Lan looked at him and asked, "What can you do now?" ”

Jing Xiao's face was slightly confused, he is now ...... It's true that he can't do anything, the power of the Jing Mansion is not in his hands, and even if the stewards in the mansion have changed their attitudes, most of them are waiting and seeing, and they are not really on his side.

After a while, An Lan then asked, "Brother Xiao'er, what do you want?" ”

Jing Xiao was stunned for a moment, An Lan looked at his eyes, her voice was still light, but her tone was very serious: "Nearly five years have passed, haven't you thought about what you want?" (To be continued.) )
