Chapter 209: Family Affairs
"Not named yet." Xie Lanhe made a gesture of invitation to her as he spoke.
The incense fight between them is to write out the incense and several incense products after tasting each other's incense, and then evaluate each other.
The day has entered autumn, several apricot trees and pear trees in the garden have borne fruit, look up, you will see a beam of sunlight falling on the apricot under the eaves, it is the fruit that only bears half a month ago, the green is white, by the sun shines, you can also see a layer of fluff on it. The ink bamboo birdcage hanging in the corridor was slightly swayed by the wind, with a soft smell in the wind, and then looked into the distance, there was a bamboo fence and green grass over there, and the pond water was as blue as summer, sparkling. The servants in the courtyard passed by from time to time, but did not stop, and when the maid in pink armor walked near the incense room, she would stop and bow to her slightly because she looked out, and then passed.
The maid is very well-dressed, and it is an extremely rich mansion......
"Miss Anlan?" Xie Lanhe saw that she was actually looking outside, and seemed to be distracted, so he screamed softly.
An Lan retracted her gaze and picked up the pen, but when she put down the pen, the first thing that came to mind in her heart was not the few fragrances she had just identified.
Ripe apricots are warm and fragrant, and the leaves are old, and the grass tips and bamboo grilles lock the pond marks.
After she finished writing, she was stunned.
Xie Lanhe had already looked at it, took the piece of paper, read it gently, and then praised it again and again, and asked her to finish the poem.
An Lan came back to her senses and hurriedly said, "It's me who got distracted, it was a sudden ......"
"Blessed to the soul, so the pen is like a god." Xie Lanhe smiled and caught her words, sincerely impressed.
An Lan then felt a heat on her face, and felt inexplicably embarrassed in her heart. He lowered his face. Write down the incense sticks you have identified one by one. Then set aside. Then, Lan Indigo brought her incense, she took out the incense she had prepared, and when she reached for the incense burner, she glanced at the fox incense burner next to her.
At that moment, the movement in her hand paused, Xie Lanhe didn't notice it, and the maids around her didn't notice it. Even she didn't realize it. It's just that in the next series of actions, even if she didn't make the slightest mistake, she always felt as if she was out of the ordinary.
One qiē is so real, and one qiē is so unreal, she doesn't know what's wrong with her.
It wasn't until Xie Lanhe got up to say goodbye that she suddenly came back to her senses, and her face was a little dazed.
"The girl seems to be a little absent-minded today." Xie Lanhe looked at her and said, "But what's so difficult?" ”
An Lan looked at Xie Lanhe for a while. Shaking his head slightly, Xie Lanhe left. Lan Indicai smiled and said: "Gongzi Xie may not often come to taste incense with the girl in the future, it is rare to come here today, but the girl is always distracted, Gongzi Xie should think that the girl is sad." ”
An Lan was puzzled: "Huh? ”
"Girl, is it ...... Did you forget? Lan Indigo looked at An Lan's expression, and said, "The Xie family is going to take Gongzi Xie back, and he will be a serious son of a family in the future, and he is no longer a kid from a poor family, and it should not be as easy as it is now when he goes out to visit friends." ”
"Xie family?" An Lan paused, "He is willing to go back?" ”
"How could you not want to go back?" Lan Indigo smiled, "The girl is born rich and noble, naturally I don't know what the hard life outside is like, you know the life experience of Gongzi Xie, all year round, and the few clothes worn outside are not patched." Our old lady appreciated him, and asked Bai Shao to send him two pieces of ink during the Spring Festival last year, and I went with him, only to see that his family didn't even see meat on days like the Spring Festival, and there was still medicine boiling on the stove, and Gongzi Xie didn't expect us to come......"
What Lan Indigo said next, An Lan couldn't hear clearly, and only thought about that sentence in her heart: The girl is born rich and noble, and naturally it is not what the hard life outside is like.
Just after a while, Lan Indigo walked up to her again, took the few lines of poetry she wrote, and said: "The girl said two days ago that she wanted to reward me with something, let me think about it myself and then ask the girl for you, I think about it now, I want the girl to write this." ”
An Lan glanced at her strangely: "What do you want this for?" ”
"The girl agreed, and I'll send it out and frame it in a while." Lan Indigo put it away carefully and said, "The girl doesn't know, your poems and calligraphy and paintings are asked for by people outside at a high price!" ”
An Lan was stunned: "High price!?" ”
"Don't get me wrong, girl, I begged the girl for this, not to take it out and sell it." Lan Indigo hurriedly explained, "I just want to take out the girl's things for everyone to show during the New Year and festivals in the future, and I also have a long face." ”
An Lan asked, "How can anyone outside ask for my poems, calligraphy and paintings?" ”
Lan Indigo smiled and walked to An Lan's side: "The old lady of our house is a great Confucian in the world, and the lady is also from a scholarly family, the girl has been famous since she was a child, whether it is writing or painting, the old lady teaches her hand in hand, and the girl also has a lot of fame in the incense road, so the girl's poetry, calligraphy and painting, the people outside naturally want to compete for it." ”
An Lan suddenly laughed, and fell directly onto the couch with laughter.
Lan Indigo was stunned: "Girl, what are you laughing at?" ”
"It's okay, I just want to laugh all of a sudden." After laughing, An Lan didn't sit up, but simply lay on the couch and looked at the roof. She really didn't know why she wanted to laugh, but suddenly, she laughed, but she knew very well that it wasn't because she was in a good mood.
She didn't pay attention to when Lan Indigo went out, but after a while, Lan Indigo came in again and said that Mrs. An, that is, her mother, had come back and was coming to her.
An Lan hurriedly sat up, feeling a little nervous inexplicably, it was her mother who came to see her, and she didn't do anything wrong, why was she nervous? And, as the footsteps outside drew closer, her tension grew.
The footsteps stopped at the door, and she stood up from her feet, her eyes fixed on the curtain of abundant grains.
The curtain was raised, and a woman dressed in her thirties walked in with her head slightly bowed, and then raised her face to look at her.
Why does it feel strange?
An Lan looked at the "familiar" woman, and didn't know how to speak for a while.
Mrs. Ann walked over with a smile, took her hand and sat down on the couch, chatting with her softly. An Lan didn't know what she had said, she even felt like a bystander, looking coldly at the warm scene in front of her. She really didn't know why she had such a ridiculous feeling, she felt that she must be sick.
Mrs. Ann told her about a family, which was said to be an excellent family affair, and many wives and girls in the boudoir were envious. Some people even said sourly, An Lan's family background, appearance, talent, and Ruyi Langjun are really good in everything, better than others in everything, and she lives a life that all women dream of.
Then Mrs. An said a lot, but An Lan felt that she had listened to it, but she didn't seem to have listened, she only felt that she nodded in a daze, and then Mrs. An said happily that she was going to start preparing, and then went out. (To be continued......)
