33. Chapter 33

Chonglan couldn't understand what the Ning family wanted to do now, so she was still making things difficult, and now she began to show favor again, but the bracelet had already been worn by her on her wrist, Chonglan was also generous, looked at Qingge who was standing on the side, and said with a slight smile: "Obviously I came to bother, how can I accept your gift again, and it will not be good for you to break the bank." ”

Qingge saw the opportunity very quickly, took out a sandalwood box and handed it to her, Chonglan took it in his hand, opened it and handed it to her: "The elder can't give it away, but I can't accept your things for nothing, this right should be a little bit of my heart." ”

Ning Shi looked down and saw that it was a set of gold and jade heads with excellent color, not only the workmanship was exquisite, but even the style was the most fashionable in Jinling City, Yan Mansion had already fallen over the years, and her wife, who was in charge, was not too rich, and the clothes and jewelry on her body were still last year's style.

She saw that the things given by a businessman were better than her own, and after she gave the gift, there was always a bit of a slap in the face, she was panicked, and she was polite to what Lan said, and she was not good at attacking, but she pulled the corners of her mouth perfunctorily: "You have a heart." ”

I don't owe her anything like this, Chonglan

Ning was still a little unwilling in his heart, so he ordered someone to serve tea up, and quietly pressed the tea foam with the lid of the bowl: "My nephew has never had much contact with people, and it is rare to see people come to the door, not to mention that you are still a girl's family, I will inevitably ask a few more words as an uncle, and I hope you don't think I'm talking too much." ”

Chonglan was about to answer, when a clear and pleasant voice came in from outside the door: "If Uncle Niang doesn't want others to dislike and talk too much, then she shouldn't say so much." Yan He picked up and walked in, with a long sword at his waist, as if he had just returned from martial arts, he glanced at Ning: "I invited someone to come to the house, I don't want to do my uncle's business." ”

When Ning Shi heard him say this, he was so angry that he almost wanted to crush the teacup, and said with a calm face: "There are outsiders at home, can't I, the lady in charge, ask a word?" ”

Yan He glanced at Chonglan, she immediately got up and walked over, and he said slowly: "Since the uncle has finished asking, I will take that person away." Regardless of Ning's face, he walked out with Chonglan.

Ning said hatefully: "This cheap seedling is really developed, forget his biological mother" She said halfway, and a daughter-in-law wearing an embroidered red jacket behind her pulled down her sleeve and said in a low voice: "Madam, be cautious, have you forgotten the taboos in the house?" ”

Ning's mouth was indignant, and the daughter-in-law said in a low voice: "Let's not talk about anything else, this heavy girl is a good person, except for your share, she has prepared generous gifts for us up and down the house, and the number of etiquette is enough, if we make it difficult to ask, I am afraid that some people will gossip, saying that we don't know how to be hospitable." ”

Ning reluctantly patted the case, and took the daughter-in-law's hand back to his yard.

Over there, Chonglan was still wearing the jade bracelet given by the Ning family on her wrist, and she was feeling uncomfortable, so she took off the Qingge that she handed to the side, and raised her eyes to look at Yan He who was walking beside her, his breath was well-proportioned, but his face was slightly flushed, and there were accessories hanging around his waist, it seemed that he should have come back from martial arts practice.

The two walked side by side at this time, and occasionally the shoulder touch made her feel a little uncomfortable, so she slowed down her pace, pulled the distance between the two a few points, and walked with her head stuffy and didn't dare to speak, she could only hear the sound of his soap boots stepping on the bluestone slab, step by step, walking elegantly and steadily.

The person in front of him paused, turned sideways and asked, "What's wrong with you?" Can't walk well? ”

Chonglan was pondering the conversation between the two the day before yesterday, and she didn't know what he meant, and she was very happy with each other on the surface, but it wasn't so simple when she thought about it, and she couldn't tell what the relationship between the two was now, so she had to treat him as politely as possible according to business habits. Leng Buding was called by him like this, and was stunned before saying, "I don't dare to walk side by side with you, you invite first." ”

Yan He couldn't get used to her waist and shrunk her shoulders, so he raised her head and snorted: "I didn't lead the way for you, why did you go ahead of you?" She had a standard melon seed face, with a pointed chin that was right in his tiger's mouth.

Chonglan felt that this posture was a little awkward, but it was only a moment for him to withdraw his hand, turned around and took her to the garden, at this time the spring was full of spring, the peach blossoms and pear blossoms in the garden of the Yan family were full of flowers, one by one, far away from the clouds on the horizon, the flower branches trembled a few times from time to time, and some birds flew out of it with fluttering wings.

There was a path in the garden, which led in a winding way to a pavilion in the middle of the pavilion, where another man was boiling water and preparing to make tea, and when he came, he waved his hand gently, and the man in the middle of the house also retreated with great eyes.

He turned around and sat down in the pavilion, and made a gesture of please, Chonglan sat down opposite him, and in a blink of an eye saw a cluster of peach blossoms sticking in from outside the pavilion, and said with a smile: "The flowers in the garden are blooming very well. ”

Yan He turned the jade wrench on his hand, his face was blocked by a cluster of scorching peach blossoms, and he was a little careless: "The flowers in this garden were specially planted by my mother, everyone thought that they would not live long, but they didn't expect that most of them would survive. ”

Chonglan stretched out his head to take a look, and sure enough, the flowers were very luxuriant, but they didn't look like they had been carefully built, and even the path was almost hidden. She nodded, "It's good, I look better than the well-trimmed one." ”

At this time, there were also flower branches between the two, a pouting flower bloomed on the top, the flowers were blurred, it seemed that his eyes were like flying fog and smoke, her brain flashed with evil light, and suddenly a crooked poem came out: "Poor Zhou Xiaotong, smile and pick orchids; Fresh skin is better than pink, and Man's face is like pink" She read it unconsciously, and then looked at his reaction without blinking, it should be very happy to be praised by others, right?

Yan He's reaction was a little different from what she imagined, he slowly pushed aside the flower branch in front of him, glanced at her and said, "What do you mean by this?" ”

Is this a slap on the horse's leg? Chonglan didn't know what taboo she had committed, and coughed: "I don't know when I heard this poem, and I felt that it was quite a scene, so I used it." ”

Yan He turned his jade wrench and said with a half-smile: "This poem was written to Zhou Xiaoshi, a prostitute in the Jin Dynasty, do you think I should praise you for your knowledge, or should I say that you are foolish?" ”

Chonglan raised her sleeve awkwardly and half-covered her face: "I don't read much, adults don't have the same knowledge as me." ”

He looked at her fixedly, as if he was looking at something very interesting: "Compared to this, I wonder where you heard such flirtatious words?" The heavy boss really knows a lot. He looked at her playfully, not letting go of her dodgy look: "Huh? ”

Chonglan hesitated between whether the ugliness of the family was publicized or not, and finally relented: "My second brother has a lot of problems, he pulled a few prostitutes to go home to mess around, I listened to people when I went to drive people out, and it sounded quite charming, and now I think it's really not a good thing." ”

After she finished speaking, her face was full of embarrassment, and he raised his eyebrows: "I thought it was you"

Chonglan waved his hand again and again, "I didn't do anything." She smiled very flatteringly: "I thought it was a good time to praise people's appearance, and the adult is the only Tanlang I have seen in my life, which is unforgettable at first sight, so I took it out and used it." ”

There are many people talking about his appearance behind his back, but it was the first one he said in front of him, he glanced at her slowly, pulled his lips and smiled: "You are not small." ”

Although he was smiling, but he didn't see a little happy look in his eyes, Chonglan slapped the horse's leg for the second time, his face suddenly turned blue and white, and he didn't dare to say anything taboo, so he could only honestly look down at the stone table table.

He tilted his head suddenly, and seeing that her restrained appearance was quite interesting, the smile on his lips deepened a point or two; "You just said it was unforgettable? But I've seen me twice, and that's unforgettable for me? She looked up in amazement, and he looked up thoughtfully; No wonder you are in such a hurry to come to the door to relieve the pain of lovesickness? ”

She opened her mouth wide, didn't you force me to come to the door from behind! Yan He stroked his chin and continued: "I've only met twice, and it's still like this, if you see each other a few more times, won't you want to be haunted by your dreams?" ”

If you answer this, you don't dislike him, if you answer it, you really become a skinless and faceless, Chonglan is already blushing and doesn't dare to look at him, holding her forehead with one hand and turning her face away; "Adults are celestials, and we mortals just look at each other, how dare we have other ideas?"

Yan He sighed, picked the corners of his lips, and said out of context: "I didn't expect you to have other ideas, I really underestimated you." “

Chonglan replied that nothing was right, and he couldn't wash it even by jumping into the river, so he had to shut up honestly. At this time, the boiling water on the table was boiling, and she took the first step to lift the teapot, and said with a smile: "It's because I can't speak, so I'll pour tea for the adults here." ”

Yan He looked at Yingying's white water filled with teacups: "Where's the tea?" He tapped the table with his jade white fingers: "Even if you see that I am not willing to give up, you should not be so careless, how can I say that you are good?" ”

This was wrong from the beginning, Chonglan wiped the sweat on his forehead with a silk, and he didn't know where the person who ordered the tea left the tea leaves, and he was afraid that he would say something later, so he had to pick a few peach blossoms from the outside, put them in his tea cup, and covered them with a bowl lid.

She smiled and said: "Picking flowers to make tea is also an elegant matter." ”

Yan He glanced at the flower branches that were about to be picked bald by her, and said in disgust: "Spicy hands destroy flowers." He looked sideways at the petals that had been shaken off her shoulder, reached out and grabbed one, and slowly put it into her teacup: "This is a graceful thing." ”

When he reached out, his slender fingers brushed her neck, his hand was slightly cooler than ordinary people, and he could feel it when he got closer, she forced the tingling feeling on her neck to sit down, and reluctantly straightened her look: "Thank you, adult." ”

He sighed, lifted the white porcelain teapot and poured tea for her, a peach blossom floated up, the aroma was refreshing in the heat, she took a shallow sip, sighed: "It smells good enough, but unfortunately the taste is a little astringent." ”

Yan He also sipped shallowly: "I can barely enter it, the flowers you picked are good." He put down the teacup and said slowly, "Do you know why I want you to come?" ”

Chonglan saw that he was going to talk about business, and he also put away his idle expression: "Please show me." ”

He clapped his hands, and immediately someone came up with the sword box, and he raised his head: "You open it and take a look." ”

Chonglan stood up and took it with both hands, the sword in the sword box was lying quietly, she looked a little familiar, and was hesitating to pick it up and take a closer look, when she saw a white and powerful hand next to her reaching over, pulling out the sword and handing it to her under her nose for her to take a closer look: "You look familiar." ”

Chonglan took a closer look, and then her heart was shocked, and she barely suppressed the surprise below, the style and material of this sword are similar to those made in her workshop, but the swords and soldiers in her workshop are all combined with the manufacturing skills of Dongying and Qi Dynasty, and they are definitely unique, so where did Yan and this come from?

He didn't know when he walked in front of her, the two were very close at this time, he half-leaned down, and whispered, "I still have a fire gun over there, do you want to take a look?" ”

Chonglan couldn't hide the surprise in his eyes at this moment, and exclaimed, "How did you get it?" ”

Yan He smiled slightly: "There is no impermeable wall in the world, and it depends on whether the people on the other side of the wall are qualified enough." He tilted his head and took in the look on her face: "I'm curious, what are you a businessman doing with these things, are you harboring evil intentions?" ”

Chonglan couldn't help but take a few steps back, his back had already reached the pavilion pillar, but he didn't expect him to bully him, and the distance between the two was only more than two inches. She took a deep breath and reluctantly settled down: "I advise adults, it's good not to get to the bottom of everything, it's good to get to the bottom of everything, it's nothing to do with you, why do you want to hold on to it like this?" ”

If this secret is leaked, what will those officials do for the time being, but they are afraid that the one in Dongchang will kill him first.

Yan He saw that her breathing was disordered, her delicate red lips were closed one by one, and her lips were distinct, as if they were seductive, his heart fluttered slightly, and then he pressed down a little bit of waves: "As an official of the imperial court, when I encounter such a perverse thing, I should ask about it." ”

He lowered his head and smiled: "If you can't tell why" He didn't say the second half of the sentence, but Chonglan also knew the stakes, but it was impossible to really say it, just pursed his lips and kept silent.

The two were so deadlocked, he stood very close to her, he could almost hear her sudden heartbeat, it seemed that he could pull someone into his arms as soon as he reached out his hand, and at a glance he could see her red lips, the elegant fragrance hit, his mind was also a little confused, and he couldn't help but slowly lower his head

Chonglan first looked at him in shock, then his eyes widened in horror, Yan He saw her frightened look, then he froze his figure, turned his back but no longer looked at her, and asked lightly: "Have you thought about what to say?" Just listening to his voice, I definitely can't see that he is now frowning and slightly embarrassed.

Chonglan was suddenly asked by him about the door, and then he lost his inch, and at this time he had already relieved himself, and said slowly: "My lord knows, I am an imperial businessman, and I have to do something that is related to the court, but I can't put it on the surface. ”

He finally turned around and looked at him with a smile: "Really? But why don't you stay in the south and transport all the way to the capital? ”

Because this is what the emperor wants by name today, not only must he do it well, but he also has to hide it from others. This year turned around in her mind, and then she pretended to be dazed: "I am only responsible for handing over the things, as for where to send them, I really don't know." ”

The corners of Yan He's lips raised: "Then I'll go back and ask a few adults in the south to see what is going on." ”

He looked at Chonglan's face with satisfaction, but he didn't plan to force her too much today, but just changed his words and said: "Over the years, the south has been invaded by Japanese invaders for many years, firstly, because the southern army is weak, and secondly, because the terrain in the south is mountainous and watery, and Qi Chaoxun's commonly used weapons cannot be used here, so he has been repeatedly attacked by foreign enemies. ”

Chonglan vaguely understood, but he still couldn't figure it out, he just came to the south to mourn, and when the time came, he had to go back to the north to lead the troops, what did he have to do with the south? He didn't look like he was worried about the country and the people, so he could only ask, "What do you mean?" ”

He glanced leisurely past; "The position of the Shanxi commander is now held by my subordinate generals."

Chonglan was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized, like him, of course, the court will not say that the official will be dismissed, but since someone has taken his place, it means that there must be a more suitable official position to be given to him, she thought that the position of the governor of the south is now vacant, and suddenly it suddenly dawned, no wonder he was so pressed to make weapons, it turned out to be to stay in the south.

Seeing the opportunity, she quickly bowed down and said, "Congratulations to your Excellency for being promoted, you see"

She was only halfway through her words when her lips were pressed against a slender finger: "It's better not to talk nonsense if there is no shadow." ”

A tingling sensation came from her lips, straight to her limbs, his fingers were a little cold, and he stuck to it coldly, and the feeling was even more obvious, she stopped her mouth all of a sudden, looked at her a little uncomfortably, wanted to speak but didn't dare to open her mouth.

Yan He was also slightly startled, under his fingers was her warm lip flap, which could almost depict the delicate lip peak, he was not a person who couldn't bear to control himself, otherwise there would not be no one in the room, but now he has repeatedly lost his temper, it is really incomprehensible to think about.

He was secretly shocked, but he still withdrew his hand quietly: "It's dark, you should go back." He looked at her sideways and said indifferently: "You can speak well in the scene, but you can't rely on the scene to perfunctory for a lifetime, you know what I want, if you can succeed, your benefits are naturally indispensable." ”

The benefits he can promise are definitely not ordinary big benefits, if this place where these Laoshizi are made is opened for Chonglan himself, then she may be able to respond to the wealth and danger, but she is also ordered by others, even if she is tempted by his promise, she will not dare to give the truth.

Her thoughts turned a few times in her heart, and then she smiled bitterly: "My lord, this is just embarrassing me." She thought that she would simply go back and write to Jingli, tell the person above Yan He's intentions, let the person above deal with this matter, and let a few immortals fight, and she, a little ghost, would wait for the result to be alive and well.

Yan He glanced at her, but didn't say much, got up and sent her out. Chonglan had a plan in his heart, and his steps became brisk.

He sent her to the door, and she took the carriage back to the house, and before she could get close to the door, she heard a very fierce shout: "What? You young lady do such shameless things, and no one is allowed to say it? ”

Chonglan's eyelids jumped, and immediately let the carriage go back to the house, and across the small half of the street, you could see a lot of people gathered in front of the Chongfu, a woman with a blue silk cloth wrapped in a blue silk cloth on her head and a slightly fat body was crossing her waist and scolding: "The big guys are all here to comment on this reason, as the saying goes, a good woman does not serve the second husband, a girl in the Chongjia family wants to allow a few families, and when she sees Gao Zhi'er, she hurries up to climb up, how can there be such a reason." ”

Chongzheng happened to be at home at this time, and immediately ordered someone to beat the woman away, but he didn't expect this woman to be very spicy. Sitting on the ground, he cried and cried: "Oh, I'm not alive, you see if there is a king's law, this family wants to beat people when they see that they can't make sense, and if they have the ability, they will beat me to death, otherwise I will say it!" ”

After she finished scolding, she began to cry again: "My poor nephew, for that ruthless man, I think day and night, now I can't even eat, and my good person is now thin and out of shape, he is the only seedling of our Jiang family, if something happens, how can I, who is an aunt, explain to his dead father." ”

The crowd talked about what they said, 'shameless', 'that Jiang family son is really an infatuated lover' and the like.

Chonglan's face sank, Qingge and Qingyun saw the opportunity to quickly push away the crowd and let her in, she looked at the woman who was still crying on the ground, and said to Chongzheng: "Second brother, who is this person?" ”

Jiang Xiucai's aunt got up from the ground, pointed at her and scolded: "Don't pretend, can you recognize who I am?!" You little with a high branch. People, when you see that the door is high, leave my poor Rong'er, I will never let you succeed today! ”

Chonglan sighed: "It turns out that you are Jiang Gongzi's aunt, he is just an old friend of my brother, what does it have to do with me." She said with a sinking face: "If you ruin my innocence like this again, I will immediately order someone to beat you out!" ”

Aunt Jiang stood up and sneered: "Do you think that you can pass so lightly, are your interactions with my nephew all fake?!" ”

Chonglan looked at her coldly: "My brother has always been righteous, I heard that Mrs. Jiang's health is not very good, and I am afraid that it will be inconvenient for me to visit the Jiang family, so I will accompany you to visit the Jiang family, why is it so unbearable in your mouth?" ”

After she finished speaking, she reprimanded angrily with a sad face: "At the beginning, the Jiang family was almost too poor to live, and was made difficult to buy land by a squire, or did my second brother run to make peace in the wind and rain, which left your Jiang family's land, when Jiang's mother was sick, it was also my second brother who brought medicinal materials to visit, do you dare to say that we didn't help with this case?!" Our brother and sister asked themselves what is sorry for your Jiang family, is it really fighting rice to raise grace and raise rice to raise hatred! ”

Chonglan often helps neighbors, and has a very good reputation among businessmen, and how Chongzheng helped the Jiang family at the beginning is also in the eyes of everyone, everyone listened, and they all eased their expressions, and looked at Aunt Jiang suspiciously.
