Nangong Xueruo's pair of eyes began to wander around again. Lan Lie smiled, let go of the hand holding her, found a place to sit down, and beckoned her: "If you have a fancy to it, take it." Nangong Xue Ruo only looked around, her mind was not here at all, and she answered and walked towards the other side of the counter.

The shopkeeper hurriedly ordered someone to make good Qi black tea. Even he was reluctant to drink this tea on weekdays, but at this time, Lan Lie leaned into his hand, only touched it with his lips, and then put it aside casually, his eyes kept following Nangong Xueruo.

She looked at it for a long time before she came over with something. Lan Lie glanced at it, smiled and said, "Put it on and take a look." ”

It was a jade bracelet carved out of scraps, I am afraid it was the lowest grade defective product in this store, the jade pattern was mottled and messy, the color was light, and it was put on Nangong Xueruo's thin wrist, and it fell into Lan Lietian's eyes, which looked very ridiculous. He didn't refute her, just smiled and asked, "Like it?" ”

Nangong Xueruo nodded and looked at him expectantly.

Lan Lie stretched out his hand to take it, and after confirming that there was no tact, he handed it to the shopkeeper: "Keep it, and put it with the one just now." The shopkeeper hurriedly agreed. Lan Lietian handed the teacup to Nangong Xueruo again: "Are you thirsty?" Drink saliva. Nangong Xue didn't answer, waved her hand to show that she was not thirsty, and watched the shopkeeper put the jade bracelet into the box. Lan Lie flicked her forehead: "I'll take it later." Let's see if there's anything you like. ”

So Nangong Xueruo walked away in a hurry, and hugged a bunch of fancy things one after another. Lan Lie looked at them one by one, and the corners of his eyebrows jumped. Well, although the taste is a little worse, the vision is a little special, at least they are normal jewelry, not tokens for contact, and there are no hidden tricks, so they can accept it. He quietly instructed the shopkeeper: "According to the pair of jade bracelets you brought, show me a complete set." ”

Set! One piece alone is not a small business, and this master actually wants a whole set!

The shopkeeper's eyebrows smiled, and he nodded and agreed: "I'll do it, you wait." He quickly turned back to the counter and took out two boxes, thought about it, and ran to the inner room to walk around, and soon came out with a few boxes, together with the two boxes he had taken in front of him, and held them to Lan Lie to look at: two teardrop earrings, a jade necklace, a set of tortoiseshell finger guards, a butterfly golden-winged hairpin, and a cyan jade pendant. Lan Lie thought for a moment and ordered, "Take another jewelry box and pack this set separately." Along with the ones she picked, I wanted them all. ”

The shopkeeper smiled from ear to ear, and quickly took out a good golden silk nan wooden box: "Master, do you think this one is good?" ”

Lan Lie leaned over, bent his knuckles and knocked lightly, and bowed his chin: "Yes." "The materials are high-grade and the carving is excellent. Best of all, there's no secret compartment – just a simple jewelry box.

So the shopkeeper quickly wrapped a few pieces of valuable jewelry carefully, took back the small box, and then put the small box into the golden silk nan wooden box, and smiled flatteringly at Lan Lie: "Send it to the house for you?" "Real big customers rarely bring large tickets with them when they go out, and they are all sent to the door to find the account office to pay.

"No, just keep it. Someone will come to pick it up in a moment. ”

"Okay, I'll keep it for you!" The owner of the gold said whatever it was, the shopkeeper happily agreed, thought about it in his heart, estimated Nangong Xueruo's hobby, and turned out two fancy boxes to hold to him: "How about the ones that Madame picked up here?" Lan Lie smiled and checked, confirming that there was no secret and then agreeing.

There are so many people who want Lan Lie's life that they can't be counted on one hand. Right now, he is idle in the wilderness, and the emperor's favor is only increasing, not decreasing, and it is not a good time to kill him, so if Nangong Xue sneaks into the Hou Mansion, no matter who the person behind it is, he can only wait for an opportunity in lurking. But Lan Lie liked this girl at a glance, and was reluctant to kill her neatly, so he had to cut off her minions and cut off her contact with the mastermind behind it. If you can easily dig out the mastermind behind it, it will be better. Dare to go against the Marquis of Dingguo, Lan Lietian has a way to make him regret it.

The market is full of people, and it's a great place to connect. Lan Lie looked at the jewelry that the shopkeeper had raised, and when he turned around, he saw a girl standing next to Nangong Xueruo at some point, with a slender figure, with her back to the door, she couldn't see her appearance, and she couldn't help squinting her eyes. She took a pearl bracelet of ordinary color, looked at it twice, put it down, and picked up another one that looked slightly better. The guy in the shop was about to take the ordinary color back to the counter, Nangong Xueruo reached out and picked it up, looked at it twice, put it on his wrist, and showed off at Lan Lie.

Lan Lietian didn't stop it: "If you like it, take it." ”

Nangong Xueruo ran over with a grin. The shopkeeper hurriedly invited her to look at the things she had touched, and then put them into the box one by one. She was so frightened that she hurriedly waved her hand: "Don't be busy dressing, or you won't have so many ......" Lan Lie interrupted her with a smile: "It's okay, it's not worth a few dollars." Take it back and play slowly, and pick up a new one when you get tired of playing. ”

In fact, these bunches of things added up can't compare to any of Lan Lietian's set.

Nangong Xueruo was stunned. A large part of it was just picked up and watched, who knew that Lan Lietian would buy them all. She rubbed to Lan Lietian's side, hugged his hand, raised her face and asked him: "Hou ......" Lan Lietian stretched out a finger and pressed her lips, blocking the word "Ye" that didn't have time to say in time. Nangong Xue Ruo turned her head away, skipped the title, and asked reluctantly: "You are so good to me." Why? ”

Lan Lietian chuckled: "I want to be good to you, so I will be good to you." There is no why. ”

Nangong Xueruo bit her lip and didn't speak. From childhood to adulthood, only Thirteen really treated her well. The person in front of him, is it thirteen pretending? Nangong Xueruo shook her head and put aside the absurd thoughts in her head: Who is the Marquis of Dingguo, how can he be pretended? What's more, the thirteen pretending to be people, she must be able to recognize them at a glance.

When leaving, the shopkeeper was still behind and greeted him politely: "Two of you go slowly." If you need anything in the future, remember to come and admire your face......" Nangong Xueruo hugged Lan Lietian's arm and said: "The jewelry from childhood to adulthood is not as much as I bought it at one time today." Oh, how do you wear it when you go back? ”

Lan Lie teased her: "Play one thing a day." After the change, come back and get a new one. ”

Nangong Xueruo thought seriously for a moment and nodded heavily: "Hmm! That's it! ”

Next, Lan Lie led Nangong Xueruo to the restaurant for dinner. Guards in their regular uniforms were scattered around not far away, blocking all possible directions. Secretly, a guard quietly stayed in the jewelry shop, staring at the girl who was approaching Nangong Xueruo to confirm her identity.

Xiao Er's movements were very quick, and he quickly served the dishes, and asked Lan Lietian: "Guest officer, do you want to scald the pot of wine?" ”

Lan Lie leaned to Nangong Xueruo: "Will you drink?" ”

Nangong Xueruo nodded.

"What do you want to drink?"

Nangong Xueruo thought for a while: "It's all right." ”

The shopkeeper laughed: "Guest officer, according to the small one, you shouldn't talk too much, but look at how old the little girl is, it's not good to drink, right?" ”

Lan Lie frowned, and was about to accuse him of meddling, but the Hou Mansion had never had such a bold subordinate. Nangong Xueruo tilted her head, stared at the shopkeeper with a pair of dark eyes, her expression was very serious, and she said, "He's fine." ”

Hearing her praise herself, Lan Lie's brows stretched, and he waved his hand generously and ordered: "It's none of your business, and you don't want any wine, go down." ”

"Delle! Guest, you use it slowly! Xiao Er raised his hand and shook the towel on his shoulder, bowed down.

Nangong Xueruo doesn't have a special favorite dish. When Lan Lie was leaning in the house, she noticed that she used chopsticks a little more for the dishes with sweet tastes, so she deliberately chose Jiangsu and Zhejiang cuisine today. She was still faint, with a smile on her face and a look in her eyes that seemed ...... Have a moment of trance? Lan Lie looked at her intently, her expression calm, as if she was as usual.

Lan Lietian is a frequent visitor here, and a person of noble status like him has never deliberately paid attention to the little people around him. For example, the shop that serves the food. Lan Lietian recognized the face he had seen here, so he didn't pay much attention. He didn't know that this little two was actually thirteen pretending.

They had started the layout a few days earlier, on the day Nineteen entered the Dingguo Marquis' Mansion, dispatching many people to wait for her to come out to get the Red Pill - because she didn't have much medicine in her hand, and they couldn't sneak into the Hou Mansion. Thirteen hid in this inn, Seventeen set up a stall on the busiest street, and nearly twenty intelligence officers were on duty at all times. Since Thirteen had contact with the Marquis of Dingguo, in order to ensure that nothing went wrong, his face was painted by Twelve himself, and he had to be remaintained every night.

As soon as Nangong Xue showed up today, someone immediately informed Thirteen of her movements. When he heard that she had entered the jewelry shop, Thirteen picked out a girl who was nimble, innocent, and had never shown her face, and sent her the pearl bracelet he had prepared. Each pearl in this bracelet is hollow, and it hides the red pill she needs. The girl picked out a bracelet with a similar appearance in the jewelry shop, deliberately walked near her, turned her back to the gaze of the Marquis of Dingguo, and quickly stole the beam and changed the pillar when no one was paying attention.

After coming to the restaurant, Dingguohou didn't recognize Thirteen, but Nangong Xueruo did. After all, they have been partners for many years, and there is a tacit understanding between them that no one else can match. She knew that Thirteen was worried about her, so she took it very seriously to report to him that he was safe and asked him to be relieved.

When the red pill was in hand, Nangong Xueruo didn't have the heart to hang out, and began to complain that she was tired after walking out of the restaurant. Lan Lie looked at her for a moment, hooking his lips as if smiling. In the end, he didn't say anything, raised his hand to hire a soft sedan chair for her to rest, and he still rode a horse, slowly turning back to Dingguo Mansion.

That night, Lan Lie stayed in Luoxia Garden. In the candlelight, Nangong Xueruo caressed his face, and his mood was a little melancholy. He took her hand and kissed her inch by inch on his lips, his eyes not as sharp as during the day, adding a little tenderness. For some reason, Nangong Xueruo's heart suddenly settled down.

The next day, the Marquis of Dingguo, who should have thought about it behind closed doors but went out privately, was summoned to the palace again. The imperial brother's reprimand sounded to him, but it was still painless, and half of the sentence did not reach his ears. He sat in the imperial brother's study, holding the tea cup without any pressure, squinting and smiling lazily. Emperor Xia Jingze was annoyed by political affairs, looking at him like this, he suddenly felt a trace of envy, he didn't say anything, waved his hand and let him go.

Battles in the court have never been about right or wrong. Xu Zhong has some ability, but this prime minister does not have to be him. Qiguo has always had no shortage of talents, and there are many people who have the ability to sit in the position of prime minister. It's a shame that the fifth brother is too lazy to deal with him, otherwise according to his early methods, he will definitely pay a good return. When the time comes, there will be trouble, no matter whether the fifth brother occupies it or not, Xia Jingze will have to protect him.

Lan Lie knew the position of the imperial brother, so he had no fear. He had no intention of making a big deal and then affecting the situation in the court, so he just laughed at Xu Zhongze's small belly.

In the next few days, Nangong Xueruo still stayed quietly in Luoxia Garden, fiddling with her newly acquired various jewelry every day, without stepping out of the courtyard for half a step. If Lan Lietian came to see her, he would definitely serve with a smile on his face, and he would never take the initiative to look for her if he didn't come. Lan Lie was extremely satisfied intellectually, but not very happy emotionally, and took the initiative to mention that he might as well walk around if he was bored.

"Don't worry about anything." He said.

She happily agreed, and it took half a month to visit the Hou Mansion.

The Marquis of Dingguo's favor for Nangong Xueruo is known to everyone in the mansion. Seeing that day by day, this favor is increasing and decreasing, and Qingyuan's Xue Ji finally can't sit still. In the evening, when Lan Lie stepped into Luoxia Garden, Nangong Xueruo opened her innocent eyes and said to him, "A sister came to play with me today. ”

"Huh?" Lan Lie leaned over her slender waist and said to listen.

She squirmed, "I don't like to play with people." ”

Lan Lietian felt that her appearance was very cute, and he couldn't help but look at it twice: "What did she say to you?" ”

Nangong Xueruo bit her fingers, mixed with a little grievance: "I didn't say anything, just told me not to pester Master Hou if I was fine." ”

Lan Lie smiled, his heart suddenly understood, he lowered his head and kissed her on the lips, and comforted: "No one will come to disturb you in the future." ”

Nangong Xueruo turned her head to avoid his breath and asked angrily, "What if there is?" ”

"Just get out."

Nangong Xueruo was even more resentful: "I won't drive people away." ”

"When the maids and guards in your yard are all decorations? Or come directly to me, and if I am not there, I will call the chief manager Xia Haojun, saying that I ordered it, and he will help you get someone. ”

After hearing this, Nangong Xueruo's wrinkled little face unfolded, and she smiled into a bright and delicate flower again. Lan Lietian looked at it with a fluttering heart, hooked his arm and rubbed the person into his arms.

So under the deliberate cultivation of the Marquis of Dingguo, Nangong Xueruo's behavior gradually became wanton, no longer like when she first entered the mansion, she shy back and deliberately avoided suspicion of everything. During the day, when Lan Lietian was not in Luoxia Garden, she also dared to go to the East Courtyard to find someone. Lan Lietian had never noticed her suspicious behavior of passing on the news outside, and his gaze at her became more and more gentle.

She had enough patience to wait for him to let his guard down.

On the other hand, outside the Dingguo Marquis's Mansion, in order to ensure that every once in a while there will be a new share of red pills sent to Nangong Xueruo, the twelve stayed in the capital for a long time. Although Su Lihe did not know the reason for the twelve strands,
