When Cui Wenjun came in, Yuanxiangyuan was no different from usual, and it was not busy because of the arrival of the great incense master, but Granny An's side was much more deserted than just now, and the two incense slaves that Lu Yunxian specially dialed over did not know where to go.

Granny An raised her eyes and quietly looked at Cui Wenjun who walked in from outside, with a little surprise in her eyes, and at the same time a little confused, but her aura and expression were very stable, and she was not as excited and restrained as ordinary people when they saw the Great Incense Master.

After Cui Wenjun came in, he looked at Granny An for a long time, looked at the room again, and then walked to the kang by the window and sat down, gently straightened his skirt, and said, "I didn't expect to live in such a place." ”

Granny Ann looked at her and didn't speak.

Mama Yan walked outside the door and waited, Cui Wenjun was silent for a while, and then asked, "Do you feel bitter?" ”

Granny An said: "Asking but not being able to get is suffering." ”

Cui Wenjun paused, as if he had been stabbed in his heart, frowned slightly, and said again after a while: "I heard that my mother-in-law has raised a child by her side all these years?" ”

Granny An shook her head: "How can you talk about raising, you are all on an errand in the incense courtyard, but because of fate, you are a little closer than others." ”

Cui Wenjun gently touched the incense bead hanging on his sachet and said slowly: "I am afraid that I can't find a few people who can get close to my mother-in-law in this world, so I am very curious about what the identity of that child is." ”

"It's just a poor child." Granny An sighed, then closed her eyes, "I'm old, I'm easily sleepy, I can't think about too many things, and I forget a lot of things, you go back." ”

Cui Wenjun was silent. Fingers are gently flicked over the incense beads. Her nails are beautifully manicured. There is no flower juice on it, it is a natural pale pink, and the gloss is very good, like a thin jade.

"No one knows where she was before she was seven years old." Cui Wenjun looked at Granny An, "Why?" ”

Nobody, these three words are not light, because, this includes the great incense master.

If you can't even find out the calendar, the great incense master can't find out the calendar. Could it be that the child appeared out of thin air?

Granny An said a little tiredly: "There are so many things that can't be said in this world, why should you focus on such an inconspicuous child." ”

"An Lan, it's not inconspicuous now." Cui Wenjun stood up and walked up to Granny An, "The person chosen by Bai Guanghan's Great Incense Master, the incense attendant of the Tianshu Palace, how can he be inconspicuous, now, I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at her." ”

Granny An opened her eyes slightly and muttered for a moment. He just sighed softly and didn't say anything.

Cui Wenjun waited for a while. Seeing that Grandma Huan'an still didn't mean to speak, she said, "I just want to ask my mother-in-law, in that place, was my mother-in-law showing her the way?" ”

Granny An shook her head, Cui Wenjun bowed her head, and finally said: "Bother, if you are willing, no matter which incense hall you are, you will not be rejected." ”

Granny An didn't speak, and Cui Wenjun didn't say anything more, and went out after saying the last sentence. After the water-red skirt brushed from the threshold, the silent and deserted courtyard suddenly came alive, not far away a few incense envoys passed by, and there were two incense slaves standing lazily whispering under the corridor next to them, and the two incense slaves who had taken care of Granny An before also came here while talking and laughing. It's just that none of them seem to see Cui Wenjun, a beauty that is obviously impossible for people to ignore, just pass by not far from them, but everyone doesn't look away.

……

For three days in a row, An Lan and the Danyang County Lord were sitting on cold benches in the affairs hall of the Tianshu Palace.

During this period, the two also looked for Chi Shao, but Chi Shao said that there was nothing to handle for them at present, and besides, they were not familiar with the things in the Tianshu Palace, so they would first let them familiarize themselves with it in the affairs hall, and then make arrangements after they had a score in their hearts.

However, none of the people in the office wanted to get close to them, and whenever they wanted to ask anything, they would be rejected under one excuse or another.

In the face of such a situation, although the county lord of Danyang was a little angry, he was not in a hurry.

An Lan could see from her eyes that the county lord of Danyang was just angry with the attitude of those people, and he was not anxious because of the obstruction of the matter.

That's right, the Great Incense Master gave one to three months, but when two people face such ample time, there will naturally be competition.

At this moment, a middle-aged man walked in the affairs hall, who was the palace attendant of the Tianshu Palace. This kind of identity, in the incense courtyard below or outside, may still be able to put on a proud look, but in the affairs hall of the Tianshu Palace, he is just the most ordinary palace attendant, like a servant's little steward. Because, more than a dozen incense waiters, whether they are ordinary incense waiters or those who are selected by the great incense master, are all people who can get close to the great incense master, so the incense waiters are naturally much more expensive.

The county lord of Danyang stood up, glanced over there, hesitated for a moment, lowered his eyes and looked at An Lan and said, "Miss An Lan, how about we make a bet?" ”

"Bet?" An Lan raised her eyes, "Bet on what?" ”

The lord of Danyang said: "Bet on which of us will occupy a place here first." ”

An Lan asked again, "What's the stake?" ”

The county lord of Danyang thought for a while, and then said: "The loser, promise the other party one thing, of course, it can't be a hurtful thing." ”

An Lan was silent for a moment, and was about to refuse, but the county lord of Danyang said again: "It's just a bet between you and me, the one who wins is not the same as the one who is selected in the end, and the one who loses may not necessarily lose." ”

An Lan was still very calm, and was not moved, "Why do you want to bet with me?" ”

The county lord of Danyang smiled faintly: "Why not leave yourself a glimmer of life." ”

An Lan was slightly stunned, and then realized that she had also made the county lord of Danyang feel the pressure.

So there was silence for a moment before she nodded and agreed to the bet.

After the county lord of Danyang high-fived her, he walked towards the palace attendant just now. An Lan's gaze naturally chased after the Danyang County Lord, and most of the people in the affairs hall also quietly paid attention to it. The identities of the county lord of Danyang and An Lan are clear to them, and in the past few days, the two of them have come over on time every day, and then sit all day, which has long become the center of conversation between them. Many people are even secretly betting on the two of them who will break the deadlock first.

The county lord of Danyang waited for three days, and finally waited for a palace attendant whom she had met and was highlighted in the book by Lady Guangyao.

An Lan saw that after the county lord of Danyang walked over to greet the palace attendant, after only a few words, the palace attendant returned and led the county lord of Danyang to Chi Shao to say a few words, Chi Shao glanced at the county lord of Danyang, then took out an incense card and handed it to the county lord of Danyang, and then, the county lord of Danyang went out with the palace attendant.

This change was so fast that people were caught off guard, and naturally it also attracted whispers from people in the affairs hall.

An Lan listened quietly for a while, and then realized that the palace attendant was about to go to the incense courtyard he was in charge of to inspect just now, and this matter, the incense attendant of the Tianshu Hall was naturally qualified to follow a piece of the past. But who follows, the palace attendant has a certain choice, so the county lord of Danyang easily tore a hole.

An Lan naturally wouldn't be naïve enough to think that this matter was the luck of the county lord of Danyang. She has been on an errand in Yuanxiang Courtyard for seven years, and she knows very well that when the palace attendants of Changxiang Hall come down to inspect, it is the time to fish for oil and water. And this kind of thing, as long as there is one more person around, the oil and water may be less, if it is followed by an unfamiliar person, then for safety, this oil and water may not be able to be fished.

What to do?

An Lan held the cold half of the tea in her hand, the people in the Tianshu Palace, she didn't know any of them, and now, they deliberately made things difficult, so it was even more impossible to take the initiative to make it convenient for her. The rules of the Changxiang Hall are stricter than those of the Yuanxiang Temple, whether it is a waiter or a slave, no matter day or night, they can't go out casually......

So, on that day, An Lan sat for another day, but the county lord of Danyang had already begun to contact the general affairs of the Tianshu Palace.

Mrs. Guangyao's methods are just right, and her help to her daughter should not be underestimated.

When the sun was about to set, An Lan was the last to come out of the affairs hall, she stood on the high steps, looking at the red clouds in the sky, like burning flames, slightly stunned.

"What are you doing standing here?" I don't know how long it took to hear a gentle and familiar voice behind me.

An Lan turned her head and saw Jing Yan standing behind her looking at her, the curvature of the corners of her mouth was just right. (To be continued......)
