An Lan didn't speak, and Bai Yan still didn't urge. After entering the house, the warm aroma of rice has melted away the cold on his body, at this time he has a faint smile between his eyebrows, and after putting the spoon down, he picked up the chopsticks, and naturally served her vegetables, with a bit of lazy and casual tone in his tone: "Don't drink too much soup, otherwise you won't be able to eat for a while." ”

An Lan watched his action of picking up vegetables, pursed her lips, and asked after a while: "These dishes prepared today are suitable for the taste of Gongzi?"

Bai Yan deliberately glanced at the four dishes and one soup on the table, and praised with a smile: "How can such a delicacy be unpalatable." ”

An Lan raised her eyes: "You haven't eaten yet." ”

Bai Yan took a white jade ball and put it in his mouth, tasted it slowly for a while, and then nodded slightly: "The meat is tender and smooth, and it is strong to chew, it is rare!"

"How's it taste? salty or light?"

"Just right. ”

An Lan also gave herself a white jade ball, but after taking a bite, she put down her chopsticks and said lightly: "I haven't done this for five years, and I put too much salt." ”

Bai Yan was stunned: "This is made by the girl herself?"

"Let's eat vegetables, this little cabbage looks inconspicuous, but it is cooked in broth. An Lan pushed the dish in front of him as she spoke, "It is the craftsmanship of the master invited from Tianxiang Building, this dish has been in his hands for more than thirty years, and it is not something that can be eaten casually." ”

Bai Yan sandwiched those balls into his bowl, and said leisurely: "The girl's craftsmanship is not bad, this Changxiang Palace, I'm afraid that no one has such a good mouth as me." ”

After watching him eat two balls in a row, An Lan accepted his praise and said indifferently: "That's right." ”

Even before, only Jing Yan Gongzi could taste her craftsmanship, although she didn't do it well.

This meal was unexpectedly harmonious, except for the first few sentences, there was no conversation next, both of them finished their lunch seriously, and when they tasted tea after the meal, An Lan continued to speak: "I'm going to Jingfu tonight." ”

"Alone?"

An Lan nodded.

Bai Yan gently lowered the lid of the tea bowl and changed his title: "What does Mr. need me to do?"

An Lan said unhurriedly: "Xianggu in Southern Xinjiang is a very mysterious place for Chang'an, even people from Southern Xinjiang can't say they know about Xianggu. The people in Xianggu have always lived in seclusion, and there are very few records of Xianggu in the texts handed down from the Changxiang Palace. Those limited words are mostly to advise future generations not to take Xianggu in southern Xinjiang lightly as enemies, especially the high priest of Xianggu, and be cautious. ”

Bai Yan listened quietly and did not say anything.

"It is said that the high priest of Xianggu, although he does not have the ability of the Great Incense Master to confuse people's hearts and transform the heavens and the earth to determine life and death, but his ability is not less than that of the Great Incense Master. An Lan slowly took a sip of tea and raised her eyes, "I don't want to meet him at this time." ”

Only then did Bai Yan speak: "Mr. refers to Situ Jing?"

"It's him. An Lan held the lid of the tea bowl in her hand, gently plucked the mouth of the cup, and the fine porcelain made a satin-like sound, "I know, he has been waiting for me to come out of the incense hall, as long as I move, he will follow." ”

Bai Yan asked, "Could it be that Mr. is afraid of him?"

"Jing Mansion, after all, it is Jing Gong's life's work, and it is also the last thing that Jing Yan Gongzi entrusted me to take care of. An Lan looked at him and said, "Gongzi has cultivated me with all he has, and then entrusted everything he has to me, I can't watch Jingfu fall into such a whirlpool." ”

Bai Yan was silent.

"Lord Yuyao died a strange death, I need to take a look, but I can't let them make more trouble because of this. An Lan put down the teacup, "So I need you to drag Situ Jing and don't let him disturb me." ”

A light smile appeared on Bai Yan's lips, and he said after a moment, "You should obey your fate." ”

An Lan nodded slightly, then stood up.

Bai Yan sent her out, but when she walked to the door, she asked, "Sir is not going to ask." ”

An Lan stood up and turned to look at him: "What do you ask?

Bai Yan didn't answer, the snow light outside reflected on his face, depicting his facial features more and more charming, and those eyes, in the intermingling of light and shadow, the eyes were bottomless, making people unable to see their age and state of mind.

An Lan suddenly raised her hand and gently stroked his face: "Situ Jing has been in Chang'an for more than a month, and you ...... It's been more than a year in Chang'an, and I'm not surprised that you'll get to know each other. ”

The hand on his face, cold and soft, strangely intoxicating, he did not avoid her movements, nor did he cater further.

No one can refuse the great incense master's overtures, but he is an exception.

An Lan's hand stayed on his face for a moment, and his fingers slid lightly down his cheek to his chin, then released: "I'll go over in the evening." ”

When they stood at the door and spoke, Lu Yuan, who was waiting in the courtyard, watched all their movements.

After An Lan finished speaking, she turned around and left, and Lu Yuan followed.

Bai Yan walked out of the eaves and watched them leave, the sun fell on his face, warm, but it couldn't cover the slight coolness on his face, he lowered his eyes, and shook his head and smiled after a moment.

……

"Sir is going out?" When the sun was about to set, Lu Yuan appeared outside An Lan's dormitory, and he stopped talking.

An Lan nodded, and was about to get into the carriage, but Lu Yuan couldn't help but take a step forward: "Sir, can you let me follow?"

An Lan turned her head and glanced at him: "No." ”

Lu Yuan's face turned red, his moist eyes showed obvious worry, and he insisted: "I will never disturb Mr. to do anything, I just want to be by Mr. at all times, and when Mr. is useful, I can do my best." ”

"Go back. An Lan left this sentence expressionlessly, got into the carriage, and lowered the curtain.

Lu Yuan stood in place, watching the carriage leave in disappointment.

"What she is going to do, you can't stop it. At some point, Lan Indigo walked up to him, looked at the distant carriage with him, and said lightly.

Lu Yuan didn't turn his head, but after a while, he suddenly asked, "What kind of person is the incense envoy Bai Yan?"

Lan Indigo was silent for a long time before saying, "Someone like Mr. An." ”

Lu Yuan turned his face with a little disagreement on his face.

Lan Indigo said: "You'll know later." She turned around.

Lu Yuan asked behind her: "Lan Zhangshi, whose person are you?"

Lan Indigo suddenly stopped, turned around, stared at Lu Yuan, and said in a cold voice: "I think you are the person next to Mr., I will spare you this time!"

Lu Yuan's eyes were not afraid, he looked at Lan Indigo carefully for a while, and then waved his hand: "It's me who is reckless." ”

Lan Di suddenly sneered: "What about you, Yuan Shixiang, whose person are you?"

Lu Yuan raised his face and frowned slightly.

"I know you've confessed to your husband, but are you really sure where you are?" Lan Indigo said this and left, her back looking a little blurry in the twilight.

After a long time, Lu Yuan retracted his gaze and said softly: "How can you understand, of course I am a gentleman's person." ”
