Before An Lan returned to the Tianshu Palace, she went to Jingfu, originally wanting to see Jing Gong, but just in time for Jing Gong to rest, she didn't bother, and only left the butterfly incense. After leaving Jing Gong's courtyard, she asked the eighth aunt: "Can Jing Gongzi be in the house?" ”

"Just an hour ago, Gongzi was still there, but suddenly there was an urgent matter to do on behalf of Gongzi, and Gongzi hurriedly went out." The eighth aunt sighed softly as she spoke, "Jing Gong's spirit has been a little bad these days, if the son is in the mansion, I can be more stable, and I can save any movement here, and those women in the backyard can't sit still." ”

In fact, what the eighth aunt is really worried about is not the concubines that Jing Gong raised in the mansion, but the aunts and nephews of Jing Gong. It's just that with her identity, it's not good to say this directly, so she deliberately vaguely touched it. Jingfu has the name of the richest man in Chang'an, not to mention the outside industry, just the keys to the small warehouse that Jing Bus kept for her, I don't know how many people are jealous. During this time, I don't know how many people have the idea of playing those keys, some of them deliberately befriended her for this purpose, and some of them deliberately gave her a lot of tricks. And this situation is getting worse as Jing Gong's body deteriorates, but as long as Jing Gongzi is in the mansion, those people also know that they are a little more restrained.

The eighth aunt said these words to An Lan, which is somewhat heart-to-heart, no matter how old or young, most of the interactions between women are like this, and some occasional complaints are often the meaning of exchanging feelings. People who are too strong will make it difficult to approach, and only those who have troubles will appear to be human, and revealing their weak side a little is often a way to express kindness and closeness.

It's just that. An Lan heard something else in Aunt Eight's words. Then he asked: "How long is Jing Gongzi going out?" ”

The eighth aunt said: "This is not accurate. It can be as little as six or seven days, as much as a month, or maybe longer. ”

An Lan was surprised: "Why does it take so long?" ”

And he walked in such a hurry, especially at a moment like this, and he didn't leave her a word.

The eighth aunt paused, and then said in a low voice: "Jing Gong has a share of the industry in Hegu, and it has always been taken care of by Meng Sanye. Meng Sanye is the third child adopted by Jing Gong, and our Jing Mansion is the third master who is most valued by Jing Gong, except for the son. Meng Sanye has been by Jing Gong's side for more than 30 years, and he has always been diligent, conscientious, and extremely filial. ”

An Lan asked, "Is it Meng Sanye who has an accident?" ”

The eighth aunt nodded slightly: "I heard that Meng Sanye was also Jing Gongzi's teacher, so this trip Gongzi had to go over in person." ”

An Lan was a little surprised: "Teacher? ”

The eighth aunt smiled: "I heard that Meng Sanye's deceased father is the descendant of what sect he is, and he is extremely skilled, and Meng Sanye is in order to repay Jing Gong." handed over the family kung fu to Childe, but did not let Childe apprentice. ”

An Lan was inexplicably a little uneasy in her heart. Again, "Do you know what happened?" ”

The eighth aunt shook her head: "The women in the house are not allowed to ask about the affairs outside, and it was because they were serving in front of Jing Gong just now that they heard a few words." ”

An Lan lowered her eyes and covered the worry in her eyes, from Chang'an to Hegu, even if you catch the car in a row, it will take a day and a night, if you are in a normal hurry, it will take almost three days. According to what the eighth aunt said, it will take six or seven days to come back at the earliest, if something happens to the Tianshu Hall during this time...... Jing Yan Gongzi is not here, will the stand-in of Tianshu Hall make people break their identity!?

Thinking of this, she felt a chill down her spine, and she couldn't stay any longer, so she said goodbye to Aunt Eight.

The eighth aunt wanted to keep her for a while, so she said: "Dinner is ready, just a few home-cooked side dishes, the girl eats and then leaves, I specially made it for the girl." It's rare for me to think that the girl is so kind, and at first glance, I felt like my own daughter, but it's a pity that I don't have this blessing. ”

If it was in the past, An Lan would probably stay, although the eighth aunt was only a concubine, she was the one who could stay by Jing Gong's side every day, and the other party was so goodwilled, she couldn't refute the other party's face. It's just that she really can't stay at this moment, and wants to rush back to Tianshu Hall to see "Bai Guanghan" immediately, she believes that if Gongzi Jingyan has something to leave for her, it will also be there with "Bai Guanghan".

"I shouldn't have rejected Aunt Eight's wishes, but unfortunately there is an important matter waiting for me in the Tianshu Hall today." An Lan said this, with an apologetic look on her face, "If I have a chance another day, I will come over and try my aunt's home-cooked side dishes." ”

Although the eighth aunt was a little disappointed, since there was something wrong with the Tianshu Palace, she naturally couldn't stay any longer, so she said with a smile: "As long as the girl wants to eat, she can come over whenever she wants, and I will cook for the girl myself." ”

An Lan thanked her, and the eighth aunt had her promise, which could be regarded as half of her wish, so she sent An Lan out of the house all the way, watched her get into the car, and watched her carriage leave before returning to the house.

……

It's just that she just returned to the Changxiang Palace, and before she entered the Tianshu Palace, she met the county lord of Danyang at the door of the hall, and the county lord of Danyang was followed by a few mothers-in-law, looking like she was waiting for her. An Lan didn't bother to ask more, just bowed slightly to the county lord of Danyang, and then was about to go in.

"An Lan." The county lord of Danyang opened his mouth to stop her, "Mr. Cui, please come over." ”

An Lan paused, stopped and turned her head: "What is Master Cui looking for me?" ”

"The gentleman didn't say anything, but just ordered me to come and invite you over." The county lord of Danyang shook his head, in fact, Cui Wenjun's words were not as polite as the county lord of Danyang said, Cui Wenjun did not use "please", but "bring". The meaning of the belt is that whether you want to or not, you have to pass.

An Lan hesitated for a while, then said: "It's too late today, I still have something to say to Mr. Guanghan, if there is nothing special on Master Cui Daxiang's side, I will go over tomorrow and ask the county lord to help me explain." ”

The mothers-in-law who followed behind the county lord of Danyang showed angry expressions on their faces, and An Lan had no time to explain, not to mention that she was really in a hurry to go back to see "Bai Guanghan" now, so she didn't have time to pass, even if she had time, she didn't want to see that woman in her heart. Before she didn't know the relationship between them, she was a little stunned by the woman, but after she knew, the feeling in her heart was even more complicated, not to mention, she also made a dim sum machine on this matter at the spring banquet today, so if she could not see Cui Wenjun at this time, she would not see it.

It was only when she refused that she said it, and the county lord of Danyang continued: "You better go over, haven't you been to see Granny An for a few days." ”

An Lan was stunned, and then glanced at the county lord of Danyang, and the county lord of Danyang also looked at her.

Master Cui Daxiang, is he going to threaten her with Granny An?

After a while, An Lan spoke: "You have to go now?" ”

The county lord of Danyang nodded slightly, and then made a gesture of invitation sideways.

An Lan pursed her lips, turned around, and walked forward. (To be continued......)
