Chapter 015: Opportunity
After An Lan went back, she only said that Wang Zhangshi called her over, that is, to ask about the incident that happened during the day, and then because Wang Meiniang and Gui Zhi also passed, they let her come back.
"It's okay." Granny An patted her hand comfortingly, "There will always be a chance to get out of here, just remember not to be too anxious, and you must be calm in everything." The person in charge of the king, as long as you don't mean to leave in a hurry, he won't force you. Also, you can't use what I give you unless you have to. ”
"I remember." An Lan nodded, comforted Granny An a few more words, and then served Granny An to lie down, and then went back to their room with the Golden Finch.
"Is that old pervert really just asking you about those things?" After returning to the room, the golden finch asked uneasily. An Lan sat down on the bed a little weakly, thought about it for a while, and said all the things that the king had said to her.
After hearing this, the golden finch was anxious and angry: "I know that he will not have any good intentions, how good is this, he means that he is going to be serious!" ”
An Lan was silent for a while before saying, "He's in a hurry, but it's not necessarily a bad thing, it's just that my mother-in-law will be in trouble if she asks for a doctor in the future." ”
The golden finch said: "Mother-in-law is used to eating only those few medicines, we have all the prescriptions, as long as we have silver in our hands in the future, we can always buy them." But you say that he is in a hurry, but it is not necessarily a bad thing, how do you say that? ”
"When Wang Meiniang and Gui Zhi came to look for him just now, he faintly showed a little urgency on his face, and let me come back lightly, mostly because of the relationship between the incense party." An Lan thought as she said, "As long as the theft of the incense recipe is revealed, Bai Xiangshi will definitely not bypass him lightly, and now he can't find out the whereabouts of the incense recipe, this matter alone is enough for him to worry." And at this time, although he was annoyed with me, but Yang Dianzhi had just spoken for me, no matter how much he annoyed me, he would not add trouble to himself at this juncture. ”
The golden finch thought for a while, and then nodded slowly: "That's right, no matter how anxious he is now, he won't dare to attack you, and not only will he not attack you, but it is very likely that he will use you to win over Yang Dian, or that nobleman." When he said this, the Golden Sparrow stood up and took two steps, and then continued, "Because he wants to prevent the theft of the incense recipe from being known to the White Incense Master, and when the White Fragrance Master blames him, he has other backers to rely on." ”
An Lan nodded, but then said: "But this is not certain, after all, although we are in danger at the moment, we are also facing opportunities." As my mother-in-law said, I must calm down, and I have reached this point, and I must not mess with myself. ”
"I understand." The goldfinch nodded, and the two of them quietly discussed it again, and then washed up together, and went to bed.
……
Early the next morning, after An Lan and the Golden Bird had freshened up, they had just walked out of the room and were about to go to the incense picking field, when Lu Yunxian sent Xiao Xiangnu to find her. The incense slaves next to them all cast envious or jealous looks, and they all faintly felt that An Lan was about to get rid of these boring and hard work and fly to the high branches.
A fragrant slave couldn't help but say sour and prickly: "Some people are just lucky, it's okay to be lazy early in the morning, it seems that we have to do more work today." ”
The golden finch sneered: "It's sour, why don't you go to Gui Zhi and say it again!" ”
The incense slave snorted: "I like to talk to wherever I want, can you control it!" ”
"Who has time for you." The golden finch pursed his lips and said to An Lan, "Go quickly." ”
An Lan nodded, and went to Lu Yunxian, and the fragrant slave who spoke before glanced at the golden finch: "You are so oriented towards her, when she flies on the branch, I don't know if I can remember you." ”
"It's not for you to worry about." The goldfinch gave her a blank look, and then turned and walked towards the incense picking field, and when he passed by the door of Guizhi's room, he took a special look there. Gui Zhi didn't come back last night since she was called over by Wang Zhangshi, and the incense slaves here thought they knew what was going on, but she and An Lan knew that last night was different from any night before.
"You were called by the king last night?" As soon as An Lan arrived at Lu Yunxian, Lu Yunxian asked her this sentence first.
In this incense courtyard, there are many pairs of eyes staring at any wind and grass, so if there is something to hide from others, you can't take it lightly.
An Lan nodded: "Yes, you asked me about the day, and later Wang Meiniang and Gui Zhi also came over." ”
Lu Yunxian glanced at her before saying, "Those two rarely go to find Wang Zhang's affairs together, since you were here last night, did you hear what they said?" ”
An Lan shook her head: "As soon as they came, Wang Zhangshi let me out." ”
Lu Yunxian thought about it, then stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the white misty green mountains in the distance: "I always feel that something is going to happen." As she spoke, she glanced back at An Lan, "Do you feel like this?" ”
An Lan hesitated for a moment before saying: "The incense recipe was stolen, and it was only investigated yesterday, and today it suddenly didn't check anything, which really makes people feel a little wrong." ”
Lu Yunxian nodded slightly: "That's right, it's very abnormal, so I suspect that there may be more important things lost in that incense room." ”
An Lan lowered her eyes and didn't say anything.
Lu Yunxian didn't care, and said after a while: "Forget it, let's not talk about this first, I'm going to go to Sleepy Forest today, you can go out with me." ”
An Lan nodded in response, and then asked, "What do you need to prepare?" ”
Lu Yunxian said: "It's a customary incense tasting meeting, the incense masters will do some explanations, you bring a pen and paper over and write down some points for me." ”
An Lan responded, and the little incense slave in Lu Yunxian's house handed her the paper and pen that had been prepared, and after An Lan put it away, she asked, "What kind of incense are you tasting today?" ”
"It's stacked incense and yellow ripe incense, it's not a famous product, it is estimated that not many nobles will go, most of them are businessmen." Lu Yunxian glanced at her as he spoke, "But you go and try your luck." ”
An Lan understood what she was referring to, but she was still watching her nose and nose and heart.
Lu Yunxian was satisfied, so he said again: "Speaking of which, the incense card that Chen Lu lost was made of stacked incense wood, and I don't know if I found it today." ”
Speaking of Chen Lu, An Lan raised her eyes and asked, "That Chen Xiang envoy has already come out of the torture court?" ”
"I came out, but I heard that I really suffered a lot in the torture house last night." Lu Yunxian sneered as he spoke, "Now that I go back to Sleepy Lin like this, I see how arrogant she is, and today's fragrance tasting meeting, I'm afraid she won't have the face to come out." ”
After An Lan heard the news, she had another thing in mind.
Chen Lu is now considered to have lost his wife and lost his army, and it is difficult to say whether he can keep the position of the incense envoy in the future, and this matter is inseparable from Ma Guixian. Yesterday, Ma Guixian went out unharmed, Yang Dianshou did not embarrass him, Wang Zhangshi should not have the leisure to ask a businessman because of the theft of the incense recipe. As for Kou Meilin's side, the business of merchants and incense envoys doing business in private was originally one of Kou Meilin's gray income, which was forbidden on the surface, but it was a convenient door for him to do in private. And Chen Lu's uncle is just a small steward of Kou Meilin, and there are several big stewards above him. Chen Lu was taken to the torture court by Yang Dianshi, and the direction of the wind represented by this incident can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye. Therefore, most of the people on Kou Meilin's side will not trouble Ma Guixian because of Chen Lu's matter, and he should still be moisturized at the moment.
The matter is related to Ma Guixian, but only Chen Lu is the one who suffers, will Chen Lu be willing?
An Lan thought back to the appearance of Chen Lu entering the Yuanxiang Courtyard that day, and she was really arrogant and domineering, and there was no one in her eyes. How could a person with such a temperament allow himself to fall into trouble, while his cooperating partner is still eating and drinking spicy food on the shore?
Those two must have broken up.
An Lan concluded that after entering the Sleepy Forest, when she saw Ma Guixian and Chen Lu again, she knew that her judgment was not wrong. She felt a little at ease, only when these people had contradictions with each other could she have a chance to get out of trouble.
