Chapter 048: Competing for Favor
The floor of the Fengzhu Hall is crow blue marble, and the drapes in the hall are heavy vermilion, and there is no little ornamentation on it, which is minimalist to domineering, and the spirit is overwhelming. But all the curtains are equipped with white yarn, whenever the wind passes through the hall, there are countless white yarns dancing with the wind, through the light, like a mountain mist gathered in the hall, a qiē has become a shadow, looming, at this moment, the whole hall looks light and unreal.
The man just walked out from behind the white veil, even if he was just plain and black, he was still peerless.
Lu Yu stood up and looked at Bai Yan in a daze, until he approached, and then hurriedly spoke: "You, why are you here?"
"Yu Shika. Bai Yan smiled on his lips and bowed slightly, "Sir is inside." ”
After he finished speaking, he walked out, Lu Yu was a little confused, and wanted to stop him, but was stopped by Lu Yuan. It's just that after Bai Yan walked a few steps, he turned around and asked, "Does she like to eat baked white potatoes?"
Lu Yu was a little confused: "Huh?"
Bai Yan thought about it, smiled again, then stopped asking and turned to leave.
Lu Yuan patted Lu Yu lightly, making her come back to her senses: "Have you done all your errands?"
Lu Yu replied, "Brother, he, why is he in the Changxiang Palace?"
Lu Yuan said lightly: "He is the incense envoy, I told you in the letter." ”
"What!" Shikaha was surprised, "he, how could it be ......"
Lu Yuan said: "It's Mr.'s decision, you don't have to doubt this, let alone ask more, hurry up and go in and explain your errand, Mr. has been very busy these days." ”
Lu Yu looked at Lu Yuan, rolled his eyes, grinned, and suddenly leaned closer and whispered: "You think about Mr. every day, but you don't dare to say anything, coward!"
Lu Yuan's face sank, Lu Yu hurriedly dodged away, walked quickly to the door of An Lan's dormitory, and collected the expression on his face. Holding two roasted sweet potatoes carefully, he said, "Sir, I'm Lu Yu." ”
"Come in. ”
"Yes. ”
An Lan was intently flipping through some of the yellowed scrolls, and Lu Yu didn't raise his eyes when he came in. The incense burner was filled with smoke, and the room was so quiet that only the occasional sound of paper being turned over could be heard.
At this time, the sky was just right, and the clean light poured in from the window and fell on the woman, outlining her perfect figure in the void and reality. The soft silk reflects a soft white light, which makes the face even more charming. And this is like this, with a hint of cold beauty, a calm tone when speaking, calm eyes, and an indifferent expression, which is just right to make people dare not make a mistake in front of her.
No matter how arrogant Lu Yu is, when she arrives in front of An Lan, she unconsciously puts away her feathers, even if she sometimes coquettishly plays with An Lan, but she has to be a little careful. Never dare to cross the line.
"Sir. She put two roasted white potatoes on the ground, then took out a few copies of the scrolls she had prepared, and carefully presented them, "This is the details of several big incense shops in the south in the past three years. ”
An Lan still didn't raise her eyes, but just said, "You come to dictate." ”
Lu Yu paused, and quickly recalled the manuscript he had prepared, and then spoke carefully. It's just that this time the errand is relatively long and there are many things, so after she said it through, she still stammered and repeated in some places. Fortunately, An Lan didn't interrupt her, and it wasn't until she finished speaking that she pointed out a few of the problems and asked her to explain.
After about half an hour, An Lan finally nodded: "Leave the scroll." You must be tired after a long journey, go back and rest. As she spoke, she glanced at the two white potatoes and asked, "Where did you buy them?"
Lu Yu hurriedly picked up the two white potatoes. It was contained in a wrong gold disc depicting flowers and birds, and was held to An Lan flatteringly: "I bought it on the way back, I saw my husband eat it a few times last year, and I just happened to see someone selling it on the road, so I hurriedly got out of the car and bought it." It's very cold today, it's snowing outside, when I bought it, it was just baked, and it was hot to hold, but unfortunately it's a little cold now, or I'll take it and put it on the stove, and bake it for Mr. to eat again!"
"No, I don't. "Because there is a dragon burning in her house, this white potato is still cold, but there is still a slight residual temperature.
An Lan took it as she spoke, and asked casually: "You passed through Chang'an City when you came back?"
Lu Yu paused almost without a trace, and then nodded: "I was worried that the snow outside the city would be difficult to walk, so I let the coachman pass through the city, preferring to go farther away, how did Mr. know?"
There are a lot of secret agents in the criminal court, and the news is transmitted even faster than you can imagine, is there someone around her all the time?
An Lan said: "On such a cold day, this will not be sold outside the city." ”
Lu Yu came to his senses and quickly stretched out his hand: "I'll peel it for Mr., don't get your hands dirty." ”
But at this moment, a babbling voice came from outside the hall: "An Lan, I baked a few sweet potatoes for you, bring them to you!"
Lu Yu glanced over unhappily, and said with a smile on his face, "Miss Goldfinch is here." ”
"Oh, Yu Shika is back. Kindself was slightly surprised, and asked the maid to help her take off her big bag, revealing the oiled paper bag in her arms, and her eyes looked at the roasted white potato in An Lan's hand, "Where did the roasted white potato come from?"
Lu Yu smiled and said, "I saw it on the way back, thinking that Mr. might eat it, so I bought two, do you want to eat them together?"
The golden finch sat next to An Lan with a butt, just pressed a fragrant pillow with brocade all over the place, she took it with her hand at will, and then touched the roasted white potato that An Lan held in her hand: "It's cold, I have just baked it, just use the method you taught me last time, the fruit tree is added with purple mushroom fragrance, the taste is really better, you taste it!"
As she spoke, she opened the oil paper bag layer by layer, and the room was suddenly filled with a sweet and glutinous smell.
The golden finch took out a sweet potato that was still slightly hot and handed it to An Lan, An Lan had to put down the white potato in her hand and take her sweet potato: "How can you have time to bake this today." ”
"Gluttonous. The goldfinch said and also gave Lu Yu a roasted sweet potato, "Yu Shixiang also tastes it, it's delicious." ”
Lu Yu watched the golden finch sitting next to An Lan, a position higher than her, she smiled, and reached out to take the sweet potato: "Thank you Golden Finch girl." ”
An Lan said: "You go and rest." ”
"Yes. Lu Yu stood up, saluted, and bowed a few steps back before turning to go out.
After the goldfinch watched her go out, he moved her roasted white potatoes aside, along with the wrong gold plate, and put on the roasted sweet potatoes that he had wrapped in oiled paper: "Let's eat this!"
An Lan glanced at her, and the golden finch smiled: "I don't like her." ”
An Lan asked, "Did she offend you?"
"Not really. She knows that you are good with me, and even if she doesn't like me, I don't dare to offend me. As he spoke, the goldfinch broke the sweet potato in his hand and said as he ate it, "I don't understand either." How can you put such a person by your side, she is different from Yuan Shixiang, Yuan Shixiang is a smart person and a good person. She just had an idea, and she didn't know how to hide it. On the contrary, I learned a showy skill, thinking that with you, the world will go sideways by myself, and I am not afraid of causing trouble for you. ”
An Lan took a bite of the sweet potato and said impartially: "She has a good background and a good talent, she has been spoiled since she was a child, so she naturally has to be arrogant, but she still knows restraint in front of me." ”
The golden finch wiped her mouth: "The background of the county lord of Danyang is not better than her, and the talent of the county lord is even more than she can catch up with in eight lifetimes." But the county lord was not as arrogant as she was back then. ”
An Lan nodded: "That's right." ”
Plantagese glanced at her: "Because she is the younger sister of Yuan Shixiang, and she has some ability to distinguish incense, so you let her also enter the Tianshu Palace?"
An Lan nodded, and the golden finch said: "Then there is a position to arrange her, why do you put it around? This kind of person, I don't know that I am a catty, but my heart is higher than the sky, and I am not bad." Alas, in the end, it is Yuan Shixiang's sister-in-law, and that face is not much worse after all. But it was fine before, but now you don't have to worry about it. ”
An Lan glanced at her: "What am I worried about?"
The Golden Bird looked at her for a while: "What else can there be, that incense envoy, don't talk about your Tianshu Palace." It's the Tianxuan Palace, and many big sisters and young ladies are quietly talking about the incense envoy. The incense servants and maids around you also have beautiful people, but they are all personally selected by you, so naturally they all understand people, so she came in through the back door. It's really not good, how can Yuan Shixiang have such a girl. ”
Seeing her sigh as she spoke, An Lan couldn't help laughing: "You don't think it's good, how can the incense envoy look at it." ”
The golden finch suddenly raised his eyebrows: "That's different, Mr. Liu said, men look at women and women look at women differently." ”
An Lan carefully peeled a sweet potato for her and handed it to her: "Yu Shixiang is not bad in nature, and she does her best to run errands, I promised Yuan Shixiang to take care of her a little more, naturally I can't break my word, besides, it's useful to keep her by her side now." ”
The golden bird took the sweet potato handed over by An Lan, looked at An Lan for a while, and saw that she showed that she didn't want to say more, so she said: "Okay, okay, I know that you have the most eyes, so I won't worry about you." But the affairs of Jingfu have been dealt with, right? Do those people in southern Xinjiang have any more moths?"
An Lan nodded: "It's been handled, but I have something to ask you to ask Mr. Liu for me." ”
The goldfinch took a bite of the sweet potato: "What's the matter, you say." ”
An Lan said: "You ask Mr. Liu, have you heard of 'Mountain Soul'." ”
……
After Lu Yu left the Fengzhu Palace, he pouted and said to Lu Yuan: "The golden finch is not from the Tianshu Palace, why do you always come to the Tianshu Palace." ”
"Miss Plantagenet is a good friend of her husband, not an ordinary person. ”
Lu Yu pursed his lips: "It's just a villain who loves to cling, Mr. doesn't forget that his old friend is Mr. benevolence, but she doesn't know how to measure inches, she dares to be on an equal footing with Mr., relying on Mr. to love her, so she will squeeze me with words!"
Lu Yuan said: "Don't be careful, the goldfinch girl is not what you think." ”
"What do I think!" Luyu angrily sped up and walked forward.
Lu Yuan also wanted to ask her about the before and after of this errand, so he had to catch up and coax her all the way.
Here, when the goldfinch was full, he went to An Lan's side, looked at the roof and asked, "An Lan, what are you going to do with the incense envoy?"
An Lan was sorting out the scrolls on the table, and when she heard the words, the movements in her hands paused slightly.
The golden finch tugged at her sleeve, and An Lan smiled leisurely: "Ordinary girls, at my age, if you don't get married, I'm afraid that I won't be able to stand the gossip of others, but what am I afraid of? Who dares to beat his idea? What is the problem for me?"
The goldfinch looked at the face with a little coldness and a little annoyance, and was stunned for a while before laughing sneeringly. (To be continued.) )
