Chonglan was slightly stunned, uncomfortably tweaked the broken hair in his ears, bowed his head with this action, and did not let him see his reddish cheeks, and then raised his head and asked, "My lord, since the person you invited has also seen it, can you let me go back?" ”

Yan He turned his head to look at her, and his heart became annoyed for no reason: "Aren't you living here?" Now that the sun is getting bigger, he is a little impetuous, and he pulls the tight collar: "Is it the inadequacy of the servants?" Or is there something that isn't in place? ”

Chonglan pressed the sweat oozing from his forehead with a silk, and hesitated: "Adults treat me very well, but this is not my own home, besides, there are still many things that have not been done at home." ”

He squinted, as if he didn't know what to think, and suddenly showed his face: "Okay, since you don't want to stay, then I'll send you back." ”

Chong Lanhu looked at him suspiciously, as if he was surprised why he agreed so happily, and politely refused: "My lord will send a car, and I will have to go back by myself..."

He glanced at her: "The car in my house is never borrowed. He turned around and walked away without saying a word, and ordered someone to help her pack up, and in less than half an hour he was sent to the carriage, and he stood by the carriage and stretched out a hand to her: "Let's go." ”

At this time, it would be hypocritical to shirk again, Chonglan hesitated and stretched out a hand, put it in the palm of his white hand that he had been waiting for a long time, and was taken into the carriage by him, I don't know if he was intentional or not, he didn't let go of the carriage, and gently covered the back of her hand, as if testing the distance she could bear.

Chonglan was a little embarrassed, and wanted to withdraw his hand by serving the tea, but he was gently suppressed, he picked up the tea cup and handed it to her mouth: "Drink." ”

She couldn't, so she had to take a few sips of his hand, and asked casually, "What did that Immortal Zhang just say to the adults?" ”

Yan He glanced at the white porcelain cup that was stained with red lipstick, his heart was slightly rippling, and his face was still faint: "It's nothing, just a few words of gossip." ”

If you want to say that Zhang asked for a fortune, he didn't believe in it at all, but this time I don't know if it was because he secretly agreed with his own mind, but he felt that he was still accurate in his hexagram. Fate is really uncertain, to say that it is because of the appearance is not necessarily true, he has seen more beautiful than her, but he has never been tempted by anyone, but now because of her every move, he is involved in his heart.

He pressed his eyebrows with a little headache, this feeling is really not good, but it can't be said to be bad, he saw her worried eyes on one side, and his heart suddenly relaxed.

Chong Lan saw him frowning and pressing his eyebrows, red marks appeared on his snow-white skin, and he turned his head sideways and asked, "What's wrong with my lord?" But feeling unwell? ”

Yan He shook his head and was about to speak, but the carriage stopped, and the soldiers outside raised the curtain and reported: "My lord, I have arrived at the important mansion." ”

He said, "Go down." ”

Chonglan stepped on the footstool and got out of the carriage, and when she went back like this, she always felt too ruthless, so she turned her head and asked, "Do you want to eat before leaving?" He wanted to shake his head, but his eyes were frustrated but he couldn't help but see Xi Xuetian who came in a hurry, his face was full of joy, and his hand seemed to want to shake her hand.

Yan He narrowed his eyes and got out of the carriage with him: "This is your mansion?" ”

Xi Xuetian saw that the two of them came back in the same carriage, with a slight look of surprise on his face, and then bowed and saluted: "Commander Yan." ”

Yan He glanced at him: "I'm no longer a commander, so there's no need to call me this title anymore." ”

Xi Xuetian touched a nail, looked stunned, and then said calmly: "Yes." ”

Chonglan had just returned home, and he was overjoyed, and he didn't care about the conversation between the two, so he greeted him with a gesture of invitation, and replied with a smile: "It's not as magnificent as the adult's courtyard, and it can barely accommodate people." ”

Yan He raised his eyes and looked: "I look very good." "He didn't go in either, but said a few random words at the door, then turned and got into the carriage and left, leaving behind, 'Don't forget the favor you owe me.'"

Chonglan was stunned, and Xi Xuetian asked in surprise, "What does the owner owe Lord Yan?" ”

She couldn't say that she had made Yan He lightly, so she had to pass over a few vague words, and asked instead, "How are you doing at home lately?" What's the matter? ”

Xi Xuetian replied: "After Lord Yan surrounded the mansion last time, the whole mansion was panicked, so he didn't use knives and guns, and he withdrew within a few days, but the owner has not returned for a long time, I... Our hearts are all on our minds. He looked at her nervously: "He didn't do anything to the owner, did he?" ”

Chonglan thought about his bath that time, tried his best to hide the embarrassment in his heart, waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, after all, there is still a little bit of love for He Lanlan, and he is not too difficult for me." ”

Seeing her slightly red face, Xi Xuetian frowned secretly, but still said: "It's good that the owner has nothing to do, a few days ago, the major master was moved, and the second young master of their family also won Xiucai, he has been proud of the spring breeze recently, and I heard that you are not in the house, so I came over to make trouble a few times." ”

The second son he said was Chonglan's second cousin, Chong Ruifeng's concubine, she frowned: "That's it, take care of him, if you don't make trouble for a day, you won't be happy." She suddenly thought of something again: "When you mention this, what happened to Xiucai surnamed Jiang?" ”

Xi Xuetian said: "After being beaten a few times in the yamen, he didn't stand it for a while, and now he can't walk." His tone was very indifferent, this was all the result of Jiang Xiucai's misconception.

Chonglan was a little emotional, but he only sighed and said, "I knew why I had to be here today." ”

Xi Xuetian thought for a while: "It's going to be a boat fight in a few days, do you want to participate in it this year?" ”

Chong Lan sighed, and his heart crackled: "Naturally, we have to go, there is a lot of water in the south, whether it is an official or a citizen who wants to go far away, they have to rely on a boat, every year there are many dignitaries and dignitaries who will go to the boat fighting meeting, even if they can't come out on top, it is good to be valued by any nobleman." ”

In fact, the boat fighting will be nothing more than to make a look, the boat does not have to be so exquisite, as long as the surname is good-looking, it attracts those dignitaries and nobles to like, and the most noble ones can take the lead in that boat, which is not a serious competition, most people are looking at it lively and fresh.

Xi Xuetian smiled and went down to prepare, she also chose the boat to participate in the boat fight, and went to the restaurant by the Qinhuai River early that morning, she didn't go early, and the bosses of many boat shops had already arrived.

Among them, Jia Ruixiang, the boss of Jia, saw her coming, and greeted her with a smile: "It turned out to be a heavy boss, I haven't seen you for a long time, I heard that you have offended the Quanjue family by committing an accident recently, and I happen to know a few adults, but do you want me to help you ask for a few words?" ”

Jia Ruixiang is □□ 20 this year, his appearance is quite good, and he is also a wealthy gentleman in Jinling City. Therefore, as soon as he spoke, all the people fell silent.

Chonglan said nonchalantly: "The matter of chasing the wind and catching shadows is also worth Boss Jia to talk about on the table?" However, I heard that the pawnshop of the Jia family has recently been involved in a lawsuit because of the private purchase of customers' goods, and if there is a place for me, Boss Jia can only speak. ”

Jia Ruixiang raised his eyebrows, and then sneered: "I don't have to worry about my business, but the distinguished guests you offended will also come today, if you embarrass you in public, won't you be discredited in Jinling City?" He said proudly: "I advise you to go back early, save yourself the shame of the time, and admit defeat now is better than being kicked out by someone at that time." ”

She was dressed in men's clothes, with her hands around her chest, and said with a slight smile: "Even if I leave, there is still a boat next to me, it will not be your turn to take the lead, you are in such a hurry to drive me away, is it because of your weak heart?" ”

She wondered as she spoke, Yan He didn't seem to be such a lively person, she was pondering here, Jia Xiangrui was already full of spring breeze on his face, and said loudly: "I had a banquet with Governor Zhang a few days ago, and I heard that he has a very good relationship with Lord Yan, but I don't know if I can be lucky enough to get acquainted today." ”

When others heard this, they were naturally complimented and envious, his face was pale, and he glanced at Chonglan again, his eyes were full of pride, if Yan He could get on his boat, he would be the top player in this year's boat fight.

Chonglan shook his head, walked out of the Ruzui Lou to investigate the preparation of the ship, and saw that all the colors were all taken care of, and then returned to the Ruzui Lou, at this time those nobles had also arrived, although these merchants and gentry were a little disrespectful and fighting on weekdays, but they also knew the occasion clearly, and knew that those nobles were the protagonists, so they all gathered around them to flatter, and they would not make trouble at this time.

At a glance, she saw Yan He sitting upstairs wearing a plain white ice silk cloak, and the white-clothed Shengxue looked a little like a fairy who came from the stars, surrounded by a group of people looking at the bucket boats on the river below, but his expression was a little careless.

Jia Xiangrui hugged his waist and flattered him: "It's really a blessing to see the demeanor of the adult today, it is rare to see the adult come out, please give me a face, let the little one pay for this account today, and let the little one treat you well." ”

But all the self-cooked people who are in business are first-class in kung fu, but Yan He is still faint: "The banquet still has to pay attention to the artistic conception, and Squire Jia is very disappointed here." ”

Governor Zhang also reprimanded: "The things that can't be put on the table are full of copper stench!" What is it that does not pay the bill, is it that the adults still owe you a few pieces of silver? ”

Jia Xiangrui was reprimanded with a stunned face, and coldly saw Yan He looking at Chonglan below, thinking of the fact that he sent someone to seal Chonglan's mansion a few days ago, so he pointed at her and said, "Why don't you come up and have a few drinks together?" ”

Chonglan scolded secretly, looked up and was about to go up, when she saw Yan He actually coming down to greet her, and in a blink of an eye, she stood in front of her and asked, "I knew I was coming with you." ”

Chonglan smiled and said, "I didn't expect adults to come over." ”

Yan He's gaze wandered on her face for a moment: "I heard that you were coming, but I didn't expect you to come so early." ”

This is a little ambiguous again, what does it mean to hear that she is coming, is it because he heard that she is coming? Chonglan tried her best to calm down: "Thank you for your love." She couldn't help but see Jia Xiangrui's look of disbelief on his face, and cast a warning look at him before withdrawing her gaze.

Yan He chuckled: "It's really love." ”

He didn't know whether it was intentional or not, and said the word 'lift' very vaguely, leaving only the word 'love', she couldn't help shaking her ears, and secretly regretted that she knew that it would be okay to say that she would not lift.

He gathered his cloak and looked at her calmly: "Where's your ship?" Take me to the lake. ”

With his identity, if she is willing to take Chonglan's boat, then she will win today, this is a face-appreciation, Chonglan naturally can't sweep his face, so he smiled: "I'm afraid that our businessmen will speak rudely and can't get into the eyes of adults, so I'm afraid that we will sweep away the adult's interest if I say something inappropriate." ”

He rubbed his fingers on the back of her hand intentionally or unintentionally, and after a moment he withdrew his hand and smiled slightly: "Just this sentence, you know that you are very good at talking." ”

Chonglan coughed dryly and led him outside. The people upstairs have some doubts and some are suffocating, and the most puzzled is Jia Xiangrui, obviously Chonglan was sealed by Yan He's personal soldiers a few days ago, why do you look so familiar today?

He was puzzled and depressed, why didn't Yan He dislike the heavy copper smell on her body, obviously she was also a businessman, watching people cook!

Over there, Chonglan had already taken him to the boat, and she hurriedly ordered someone to go to the restaurant to bring a freshly made banquet on the table, and raised her glass and said, "I toast your lordship." ”

Yan He twisted the thin wine cup and looked at her for a while, then raised his head and drank it, she wanted to persuade him to drink, but he raised his hand to stop and squinted at her: "Do you want to get drunk and I want to do something wrong?" ”

Chonglan honestly put down the wine jug and turned her head uncomfortably: "I thought that adults didn't like these banquets and drinking banquets and the like, why did adults come this time?" ”

Yan He said: "Didn't I just say it? Because you're coming. He saw Chonglan choking on a sip of wine in his throat, so he said, "I have something to do with Jinling recently, so I came here to choose a suitable boat." ”

This is obviously said by a layman, Chonglan smiled: "If you want to choose a practical one, you can't choose one at the boat fighting party." She thought for a moment and said, "It just so happens that there are many boats in my boat that are not moving for the time being, so if the adults don't dislike it, come and take care of my business." After she finished speaking, she was curious: "May I ask the adults where they are going on business?" ”

Yan and his head: "Yes." ”

Chonglan's eyes lit up: "Where are you going on business?" ”

Yan He said: "You guess. ”

Chonglan: "... Adults, you're so bored. ”

He replied, "I'm going to Moling, and I'm going to leave soon, what do you want?" I can bring it back with me. ”

Chonglan glanced at him in surprise, and then said, "Nothing, I wish you a smooth journey here." After she finished speaking, she said tentatively: "My lord is like this... But the appointment from above came down. ”

Yan He stroked his chin and pondered: "Why are you trying to find out about me like this?" Want to get to know me like that? ”

Chonglan choked and coughed again, and said abruptly, "My lord said he was laughing." ”

The two of them had reached the opposite shore while talking, and he was the first to get off the boat, reaching out and pulling her down, holding her but not letting go in the slightest.

Chonglan didn't seem to notice, and looked at the flower boat that was about to come on the other side with a mysterious face, and pointed, "Have you seen that boat?" This is Fang Cai's surname Jia. ”

Her delicate hand was in the palm of his hand, and he put all his mind on the hand where the two of them were clasping, and only casually responded to her words.

Chonglan gestured to her own boat, and saw her own boat inadvertently turn around, and then hit the Jia family's boat, with a bang, Jia Xiangrui's boat was knocked out of most of the side, and her own ship was only broken a few corners, she stood on the shore and laughed.

Yan He watched quietly, and a smile appeared on his lips.

Now that the boat has finished, it is not interesting to stay, Chonglan did not pay attention to the angry Jia Xiangrui, and after saying goodbye to Yan He, he returned to the house, but he didn't expect that Aunt Chong was sitting in the main hall waiting for her, and when she came back, she said 'my son'.

Chonglan helped her sit down and said with a smile: "Why does my aunt have time to come over?" ”

Aunt Chong didn't care, looked her up and down a few times, and said hurriedly: "Why did you offend Lord Yan, why did he send troops for your mansion?" Does it hurt you? ”

Chonglan smiled: "There was a misunderstanding a few days ago, but it's good to say it." ”

Seeing that she was unscathed, and she didn't look like she was injured, Aunt Chong's heart relaxed slightly, and suddenly thought of something, and her heart rose again: "I heard that Lord Yan has locked you up for a few days?" She looked at her delicate niece and pondered, "Did he do anything to you... Something inappropriate? ”

Chonglan blushed when she heard this, half embarrassed when she thought of taking a bath, and half annoyed when she heard her: "Auntie, what are you talking about?!" Lord Yan is not such a filthy person. ”

Aunt Chong looked at her suspiciously a few times, and then carefully looked at her figure and demeanor, then she breathed a sigh of relief and patted her hand: "It's my aunt who thinks too much, and I'm worried that you will suffer." ”

She is a Shuangli person, and when she saw that Chonglan had nothing to do, she relieved her heart, and directly explained her intentions: "Chongrou has already promised someone, the first three salutes have been performed, and the man is about to come to recruit him, your uncle invites us to come over to watch the ceremony." ”

After she finished speaking, she snorted: "He has been proud recently, his son has been in Xiucai, he has been promoted again, and his daughter is about to marry the sister-in-law of the Wupin Criminal Department. ”

Chongrou is the concubine of the big house of the Chong family, Chonglan said strangely when she heard this: "Although the five-grade officials are not high, they are also serious official eunuchs, and their sister-in-law will marry a concubine to be the head wife?" ”

Aunt Chong said disdainfully: "The sister-in-law in the criminal department died three wives in less than twenty-five, and the lady who went first also had a son left, and there was a large group of aunts in the room, so I couldn't find a good family to match, I don't know how to find your uncle, he heard that people wanted to be in-laws with him, and he was so happy that he was almost not crazy." ”

Chonglan didn't pay much attention to the affairs of the big house, and just sighed when he heard the words: "Just go back and give it over." ”

Aunt Chong shook her head and said, "If only I didn't come to tell you about this, there is another one... About your aunt. ”

Chonglan said with concern: "What's wrong with the eldest aunt?" "Although Chong Ruifeng is a bastard, but Aunt Da is a very good person, if she hadn't helped her all the time when their brothers and sisters were fostered in Chong's family, and took care of them as their own children, they were afraid that they would have starved to death and froze to death.

Aunt Chong didn't know whether she was happy or worried, and sighed: "She is pregnant." ”

Chonglan was dumbfounded, and said incredulously: "But, but the eldest aunt is now in her forties, what's the matter?" ”

Aunt Chong also said sadly: "When your eldest brother and your eldest brother went out to catch the exam and encountered a snow disaster, and then there was no news, I was worried that she didn't have a son, but now that she is pregnant, I am even more worried. ”

Chonglan thought of the eldest brother and the eldest brother, her heart darkened, and she frowned again: "There are several unconscious people in the uncle's room, the eldest aunt must be cautious in this birth..." ”

Aunt Chong nodded with relief: "It's not in vain that your eldest aunt tried her best to protect you back then." She ordered someone to take a lot of tonic herbs for the fetus and bring them up: "I can't get out of my body here for the time being, and when I send my mother-in-law to Jiangning to see her, you can help me bring things over first." ”

After she finished speaking, she admonished: "Your uncle's family is not worry-free, you should be more careful in everything, don't follow them to participate." ”

Chonglan knew that her mother-in-law was not a good person, so she responded to everything, and Aunt Chong thought that she was an unmarried girl, and a woman should not know about pregnancy, so she pulled her and told her carefully, and did not leave until it was dark.

Jiangning is not far from Jinling City, Chonglan is worried about the body of her aunt, anyway, there is no big deal to do recently, she simply ordered someone to pack up overnight, and left for Jiangning at noon the next day.

The carriage bumped for a day before arriving in Jiangning County, she was leaning on the carriage to take a nap, when she suddenly heard a commotion outside, and she hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Qingge poked his head out and looked outside, and found that the people outside the carriage were overturned on their backs, as if a few gentlemen had injured the pedestrians on both sides when they were riding horses, and the sound of cursing and wailing was endless.

Chonglan frowned when she heard this, but she didn't want to be nosy, so she instructed the coachman: "Let's take a detour, don't delay." ”

The coachman answered, and was about to make a detour, when he saw a squirming horse in front of him, as if he had lost his mind, and the man stood up and neighed, and struck straight at Chonglan's carriage.

The horses in Chonglan's carriage were also frightened, and they fled in all directions in panic, and she could not sit firmly in the carriage, and was carried by the horses and swayed, and her body jerked violently, and the beads on the hairpin fell out.

It was also a coincidence, a son who was also riding on a horse suddenly rushed over, and pulled the reins of the horse violently, her horse neighed and stopped, she was so frightened that her heart fluttered, and she hurriedly got out of the car and thanked him: "Thank you for this son's rescue, if it weren't for you, I'm just afraid..."

Immediately, people's eyes are like spring water, the complexion is extremely white, which can be called deception and arrogance, and even women have to sigh to themselves in the beautiful and glamorous places. He bent down, picked up the bead flower that Chonglan had just dropped, wiped it with a silk and brought it to his nose and took a deep breath, as if he was absorbing the fragrance of her hair.

After a while, he took a few steps forward, helped Chonglan pinch a few strands of broken hair that hung down, and raised the corner of his mouth on the right side: "Ah Lan, I haven't seen you for a long time." Did you miss me? ”
