"What, when is it?" The county lord of Danyang seemed to be a little afraid to look at Xiulan, and turned his face slightly to ask the coachman, "Is there a family around here?" ”

"Look at the sky, there is still half an hour at most from the time, the small one has walked this road a few times, and he has to keep moving forward, and there will be no one until he sleeps in the forest." The coachman looked up at the sky, looked around again, and then said with a bitter face, "From here to Sleepy Forest, it will take half an hour to walk faster, county lord, there is no time." ”

"County Lord......" Xiulan is a strong and inward-looking character, and in the current situation, she is convinced that if the county lord of Danyang leaves, she will not be able to live. So he desperately stretched out his hand, grabbed the skirt of the county lord of Danyang, and kept begging. It was very cold, and most of her clothes were already wet, and the county lord of Danyang suddenly shivered, she lowered her face, she was going to see Xiulan, but her eyes involuntarily stopped on the sludge of her clothes.

The luxurious clothes were unsightly at this time, and she had a momentary sense of apprehension, she had never been so wolfish and sad in her body, and she had never been so miserable and sad.

What to do?

There's not much time left!

In this way, if you had arrived in Ningmeilin earlier, you might have had time to change into clean clothes.

However, Xiulan clung to her skirt tightly, making her unable to take a step.

Xiulan's maid is actually the most eyeless of her four personal maids. It's just that because she has served her since she was a child and has the heart of protecting the Lord, she has always stayed by her side. If it was Yumei who came with her, she wouldn't have been so embarrassed...... When the county lord of Danyang thought of this, he suddenly shuddered again.

"County lord, there are two little sisters under the slave. My mother is blind again...... Slaves. If you die. The slave and maid's family will have no way to live, the county lord, the county lord, save the slave and the maid, the county lord ......"

The county lord of Danyang said with tears in his eyes: "Don't worry, as soon as your two sisters are old, I will ask my wife to let them all go into the house on an errand, and your mother will do the same." I won't treat them badly......"

In the end, she is the one who has served her for many years, and the affection of the master and servant is not ordinary, and she can't be ruthless in the end. Mother was right, many times, she wanted to have the best of both worlds, so she acted too indecisively.

However, after she said this, Xiulan cried out loud and said in despair: "County Lord, do you really care if the slave is alive or dead......

"How could it be. How could I be-" The Lord of Danyang County said hurriedly with a twitch in his heart. But before she finished speaking, she suddenly realized something, and the voice suddenly stuck in her throat.

Perhaps, what Xiulan said is not wrong. The reason why she thinks so much and says so much is just to give herself an excuse to leave here right away!

Her face turned pale, and she looked at Xiulan speechless, no matter what, this was a fresh life, and it was injured to protect her. Although it is the duty of a slave to protect the master, there are not many slaves who can keep this duty.

She should, should......

Xiulan seemed to grasp the last straw, and grabbed the skirt of the county lord of Danyang, who stumbled because of the momentary distraction, so he reflexively tugged at his skirt. Because of the excessive movement, the jade pendant she tied to her waist made a crisp impact sound, she subconsciously looked at the jade pendant, and then froze.

The little sachet that her mother gave her is gone!

After the county lord of Danyang was stunned, he was shocked, and then looked around, no, didn't see it, did it fall? Still is...... She checked the sachet herself, and she remembered that several knots had been tied on purpose, and the ribbons were all new, bright and strong.

The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became, and her breathing became a little heavier.

Last night, before she rested, Mrs. Guangyao came to look for her, retreated, and then gave her a small sachet, the style is very ordinary, that is, the workmanship is more exquisite, but it looks no different from the sachet made by ordinary boudoir women.

However, Mrs. Guangyao put it in her hand with great caution, and explained with a serious face: "This is a sachet made by your aunt herself, which was obtained by your father so easily, and you must take it with you tomorrow." ”

The county lord of Danyang was puzzled for a while, took the sachet and looked at it, and sniffed it again: "This is?" ”

Lady Guangyao looked at her and said, "You should know what the most terrifying method of the Great Incense Master is. ”

The county lord of Danyang was stunned, raised his eyes inquiringly, and Mrs. Guangyao continued: "Such a person, such a place, who dares to be disrespectful, who is not afraid, and who dares not to be guarded." If the seven great incense masters didn't have checks and balances among themselves, and each of them had a place where they could be restrained and used, where would those nobles be able to sleep peacefully. ”

The county lord of Danyang was shocked: "Mother means that this sachet can be ......"

"Bai Guanghan personally selected the incense attendants, this matter is related to the issue of the heir of the Tianshu Palace, it is by no means a trivial matter, any accident may occur, you take it, just in case." Lady Guangyao said in a low voice, "If there is any accident, remember to take a look at this sachet, and then you will understand in your heart." ”

"Woo-" Xiulan's cry pulled her mind back, and the county lord of Danyang lowered his eyes in a little daze, and his heartbeat kept speeding up, this is, is this the fragrance realm of the great incense master?!

The feeling of rain falling on your face and the cold and biting feeling is so real, and the feeling of pain when you fall down the slope is so real...... What is true? What is Fake? She thought about it in a trance, but her mind became more and more chaotic.

If this is really a test.

So, what is the result that Bai Guanghan wants?

Is it to stay? Or do you want to leave right away?

The county lord of Danyang was in a cold sweat, since the seven great incense masters checked and balanced each other, how could Bai Guanghan not expect that his aunt would give her that sachet, perhaps, Fang Yuhui's side, there were similar things. However, Bai Guanghan didn't care about these at all, because no one knew what kind of answer he wanted.

Even if they understand the question, they still have to answer it themselves!

……

At the same time, on the side of Yuanxiangyuan, Shi Song came over for the second time.

"I'm annoyed by the boss, you really don't go?" After Shi Song entered the house, he stood beside An Lan for a while before he whispered, "You." Won't you regret it? ”

An Lan was silent. It's as if I didn't hear it. But the fingers she placed on her knees were slightly white.

You can't think about such a thing.

Because, no matter which side you choose, as long as the result is not good, you will be unwilling in the future.

She may be able to make herself not regretful, but she can't soothe her unwillingness.

Shi Song was gone, time passed little by little, and the golden finch didn't dare to say a word, and kept running in and out. She asked people to ask for a doctor early in the morning, but I don't know what's going on, it's been so long, and the doctor hasn't arrived yet.

The goldfinch stood under the eaves, watching the drizzle falling from the sky, thinking about the little bits and pieces that Granny Ann had taken care of them over the years. In the place of Yuanxiangyuan, in the situation of that year, it was really as kind as a mountain, and now, Granny An is dying. Neither she nor An Lan could leave half a step.

But. Over the years, An Lan has come step by step for that goal, and has endured all the hardships, but she has not said a word. Later, in order to bring down the king, they didn't know how much effort they had to put into it, and it was easy to get to this point, how could they ...... The Plantagenet stomped her foot, and then turned around, and when she came to the door and stopped, but there was only a curtain of door, but she did not dare to go in.

What did she say when she went in?

Biting her lip with tears in her eyes, the goldfinch stood in front of the curtain with some blank eyes.

But at this moment, I suddenly heard An Lan suddenly shouting inside: "Mother-in-law! Mother-in-law, what did you say? ”

The golden finch was shocked, but only then did he lift the curtain, and before he could go in, a little fragrant slave ran over and said, "Golden incense envoy, the doctor is here!" ”

After the doctor entered, Granny An dreamed a few more times, her brows furrowed, and then before the doctor stepped forward to check, Granny An woke up.

Suddenly, everyone was stunned, and after the doctor took the pulse, he was also a little puzzled, and looked at it carefully for a while, and then said that it was nothing big from the pulse, that is, he was an elderly person, and his body was a little weak, so he should pay attention to resting more.

The golden finch asked what was going on a few days ago, but the doctor couldn't tell why, and after a few vague sounds, he opened another prescription to replenish his body and left.

An Lan stepped forward, but before she could speak, Granny An said first: "Jin Xiang will?" ”

The golden finch came back to his senses and hurriedly said: "An Lan is worried about you, so there is no ......"

"How...... Alas, good boy, you go, go quickly, mother-in-law is fine! Granny An said and looked at the golden finch, "You go with her, go quickly!" ”

An Lan stood there a little stiffly, she didn't even dare to ask what time it was. The golden finch didn't say what time it was, and after answering Granny An with tears and laughter, he picked up the incense next to him, and then pushed An Lan.

The carriage Lu Yunxian had already prepared, and as soon as they got in the car, they immediately ran towards Kou Nianlin.

Until An Lan got into the carriage, she felt like she had just woken up from a dream, and she couldn't help but shiver.

It's so cold, drizzling, with snow particles, and it's bitterly cold.

Yuanxiangyuan is not far from Koumeilin, and the carriage runs very fast, and it will arrive in a while.

An Lan was very anxious, and because of the cold, her hands and feet were a little stiff, so when she got out of the car, she twisted her foot and fell.

It had rained all morning, and there was already water on the road, and when she fell, she happened to fall into the stagnant water next to her, and fell into the mud.

When she finally came to her senses, the Plantach, and was about to put down the incense to help her, but she stood up on her own with her hands propped up in the muddy water, and then ran desperately towards the Bronze Sparrow.

She had never run so fast, and by the time the attendant in the sleeping forest came back to her senses, she had already run past her.

An Lan has been looking ahead, even if it is cloudy, but at this time it is already bright.

She didn't have to ask, she knew that the time had passed, and that it had been a long time.

She knew that even if the past was useless, and the past was just a joke, but she still wanted to take a look, she still wanted to take a look.

In the Tongque Terrace of Sleepy Forest, there are only a few times of hospitality in a year.

People in Chang'an City know that silver alone can not open the door of Tongquetai, there was a wealthy businessman in the south of the Yangtze River who did not believe in evil, and let people carry five boxes full of gold to come, wanting to charter Tongquetai to hold a birthday banquet for himself, but he didn't want to even touch the outermost steps of Tongquetai, so he was invited out.

All the guests who come to Tongquetai for a banquet or incense party are all dressed up.

It was drizzling, but under the steps of the bronze bird platform, there was a bronze Rui beast cupaga amphora incense burner with three people hugging each other, and a raging flame was burning, and the cigarette smoke was like a cloud, and the aroma was pervasive, and it could be smelled for several miles.

At this time, on the bronze finch platform, under the eaves of Biwa. Carved fence jade masonry room. That one by one. The figure of the long shirt and wide sleeves is like an immortal in the heavenly palace, and even the maid standing next to the steps is as noble as a fairy.

The cold and biting rain and fog did not affect the incense meeting in the slightest, but added a rare artistic conception to the incense meeting, and occasionally a few wisps of smart piano sound came, which can almost make people taste the ethereal of the fairy palace.

She barged in with a muddy body, as rude as someone had smashed a table full of dishes at a laughing banquet.

The tone is interrupted. The people who were whispering also stopped talking and looked at her.

After An Lan ran here, she raised her face, the cold rain had already wet her entire face, and the rain mixed with muddy water dripped down her cheeks. When she saw the pomp and circumstance on the bronze bird platform, her courage passed in an instant, and her face turned pale sharply. She stood there, staring at the fairyland-like place in front of her, dazed like a frightened child, not daring to move. Just gasping violently.

The clothes on his body were slowly wet, and a cold chill spread from his limbs to his heart.

Today's Tongque Terrace. All seven great incense masters are present!

Everyone wants to see with their own eyes what kind of incense waiter Bai Guanghan will choose.

Jingchen sighed softly, folded his hands, and Baili Ling rarely didn't speak.

Cui Wenjun looked down, but after a glance, he frowned slightly, and the rest of the great incense masters all looked at Bai Guanghan.

At this time, Bai Guanghan was sitting on the main seat of Tongque Terrace, leaning slightly on the back of the chair, supporting his face with one hand, his expression was faint, and his eyebrows and eyes seemed to be a little tired. Jing Yan walked up to him, bent down slightly, and whispered a few words in his ear, but he only raised his eyes slightly, and then said nothing else.

The golden finch finally chased after her, and she hugged Ranxiang tightly in her arms, but after she came over, just like An Lan, she was shocked by the scene in front of her.

They are foreign intruders, with mud on their faces and wolf bèi.

Jing Yan came down from the bronze bird platform and walked to An Lan's side, with a smile still on the corner of his mouth.

That kind of smile, like affinity and alienation, a man who is so gentle that people can't see the bottom.

"Knot, is it over?" An Lan stiffened for a while before she spoke, her voice trembling, and her whole body trembled.

The goldfinch held her breath and stared at Jing Yan tightly, with a thick begging in her eyes.

In the past few days, in order to guard her mother-in-law, An Lan has not been properly groomed, and when she came out, she was so anxious that she didn't even have time to change her clothes, or that set of half-used homely clothes, and she fell again when she just got out of the car, and she happened to fall in the muddy water, so she was muddy, her face was stained, her hair was blown by the wind, and she was wet by the rain, and she was sticking to her face one by one.

There had never been such a wolf bèi who stepped on the floor tiles of the Tongque Terrace, and the attendants who chased after him were supposed to invite An Lan and Jinque out, but they retracted their steps because Jing Yan walked towards them.

"It's over?" An Lan asked again, her pale face stiff without any expression, as if she was asking for an answer that would make her die.

Jing Yan raised his hand, stretched out his slender fingers, brushed away the hair covering her eyebrows, looked her up and down, and said with a smile: "Dirty child." ”

His voice was still so gentle, but it was impossible to tell what it meant.

An Lan looked at him fixedly with a pair of dark eyes, and then, Jing Yan seemed to regret, and said with a sigh: "Yes, the time has passed, it's all over." ”

Such a light sentence, but it weighs a thousand pounds.

An Lan's face was bloodless for a moment, she didn't cry, and she didn't even have any expression like just now. However, at this moment, her face and eyes are a little unbearable.

With a bang, the incense in the golden finch's hand fell to the ground, and he looked at An Lan's stiff back and cried.

The cry alarmed the Luan bird in the Tongque Terrace, and Jing Yan was a little stunned.

On the Tongque platform, some people were a little angry at first, but for some reason, after listening to the cry for a while, the anger in their hearts couldn't help but turn into a sigh.

"Amitabha." Jingchen pronounced a Buddha horn and said with emotion, "To love and sex." ”

Baililing looked at An Lan, but found that the girl really didn't mean to cry at all.

The golden finch's cry brought An Lan back to her senses, and she was stunned for a moment before giving a salute to Jing Yan. Thank him for his help during this time, sorry she let him down, it's all over.

She turned around slowly, bent down, picked up the incense and checked it, then wiped her tears for the goldfinch, and held the cold hand of the goldfinch: "Let's go, we, it's time to go back." ”

――――――

Happy birthday to Wanzhao Empty, forever eighteen ^^
