Chapter 117: Questioning

"Do you know why you were chosen?" Jing Yan asked again.

An Lan still shook her head, with a little apprehension in her daze, which was her biggest question now.

Not only was she late, but she also broke into Tongquetai with a wolf full of bรจi, only to hear the news that she had been chosen! Excitement is excitement, but more than that, it's uneasiness.

Jing Yan looked at her and said, "Then go back and think about it." โ€

An Lan nodded a little stiffly, then took off the overcoat draped on herself, shook it carefully, and then held it to Jing Yan with both hands: "Thank you, son, the slave is much warmer." โ€

Jing Yan made a gesture of reaching out, but did not pick up the clothes, An Lan was slightly stunned, and then reacted, so she put on a smock for Jing Yan in a little panic. There is a big difference in height between Jing Yan and her, and she has never done such a job of serving people, so her movements will inevitably look clumsy. Fortunately, it's just a smock, it's very simple, but the sleeves need to be tidied up a little after putting it on, and as she was about to do it, Jing Yan had already raised her hand, tidied it up twice, and then looked at her and said: "Bai Guanghan doesn't like the people next to him to be close, and you are not a maid, so you don't need to do his daily life." But in the future, if you formally worship the master, then it is a matter of course to serve the master. โ€

An Lan was slightly stunned, lowered her face and said, "The slave understands." โ€

After Jing Yan tidied up his clothes, he said with his hand: "In the future, change the self-title of slave maid, enter the Tianshu Palace, and follow Bai Guanghan again, so it is no longer anyone's slave maid." โ€

An Lan said with some apprehension: "Yes." โ€

"Remember, think about it." Before Jing Yan went out, he said again. Speak yes. A smile tugged at the corner of his mouth.

After An Lan responded. I was stunned for a while, and only after knowing that the maid of Tongquetai had come in, I came back to my senses.

When she went out, Xie Lanhe and the others already knew about this result, Fang Yuhui couldn't believe it, he couldn't understand why it was like this, and wanted to ask clearly, but was taken away by Fang Wenjian.

The decision of the great perfumer. There is never an obligation to explain it to anyone, and even if it does, the result will not change in any way. Fang Wenjian knew this very well, so he didn't want Fang Yuhui to offend Bai Guanghan or Baili Ling.

"Uncle, why!?" Although Fang Yuhui obediently followed Fang Wenjian to leave Tongquetai, he was unwilling in the end, from beginning to end, he was obviously the one with the best appearance. But why did he lose the election in the end?

Fang Wenjian sat in a wide carriage, leaning on a black and white tiger skin. He was silent for a while before he said, "You don't need to ask about this matter anymore, just accept this result." โ€

"Uncle!" Fang Yuhui was still unwilling.

Fang Wenjian looked at him coldly, Fang Yuhui was slightly stunned, and after a while, he finally lowered his eyes slowly, lowered his head and responded: "Yes." โ€

Only then did Fang Wenjian slowly speak: "Even if you are chosen today, you will not be able to become Bai Guanghan's heir." โ€

Fang Yuhui immediately raised his face, with disbelief written in his eyes, Fang Wenjian said: "Your surname is Fang, and Bai Guanghan has never greeted me from the beginning to the present." โ€

Although the heirs of the great incense master are eclectic, as long as they are selected, whether they are minions or beggars, they can all change their faces and enter the Changxiang Palace, if they have enough qualifications and good luck, they can even become the owner of a certain incense hall in the end. However, in such a process, there are actually some unwritten rules, and the great incense masters will not choose the descendants of the other clan as the heirs, unless there is a private agreement between the two parties on this matter.

If Bai Guanghan really wanted to consider Fang Yuhui, at least just now, he would let people talk to Fang Wenjian about it. However, no, Bai Guanghan did not say anything from beginning to end. Therefore, Fang Wenjian understands why there is such a result today.

"Danyang County Lord......" Fang Yuhui still couldn't pass that hurdle in his heart, so he hesitated to speak. The aunt of the county lord of Danyang is also the great incense master of the Changxiang Palace, why was the county lord of Danyang left behind. Could it be that Bai Guanghan and Cui Wenjun have reached some kind of deal in private?

Fang Wenjian didn't speak, but that's what he thought in his heart at this time.

It's just that this time, he was wrong, because Bai Guanghan didn't go to Cui Wenjun either, either indirectly or directly.

Therefore, when Cui Wenjun heard that the county lord of Danyang was selected, he raised his eyebrows slightly.

Bai Guanghan, what does this mean?

Cui Wenjun couldn't guess Bai Guanghan's thoughts, so he didn't plan to guess, and after walking back from the terrace, he happened to see An Lan, who had already cleaned up and changed into clean clothes, and walked out of it. She couldn't help but be stunned, and then ordered someone to invite An Lan over.

The county lord of Danyang was going to go over to pay a salute to Cui Wenjun, but as soon as she took a step, she heard Cui Wenjun tell the maid to invite Danyang, she was slightly surprised, and she retracted her steps.

Auntie, why do you want to see An Lan?

The county lord of Danyang couldn't figure it out, so he sat there in a daze and watched, Cui Wenjun still looked so gentle and beautiful, and he still didn't look at her like so many times before.

The county lord of Danyang didn't understand why, Cui Wenjun not only didn't like her, but even seemed to hate her a little. In fact, when she was young, she felt this and asked her mother, but her mother only said that she thought too much.

An Lan didn't expect Cui Wenjun to see her, she was thinking about what Jing Yan said, so at this moment, Cui Wenjun was not only a little stunned.

Before Cui Wenjun could speak, Liu Xuanji next to him laughed first: "These two girls, how can one be more stupid than the other." โ€

Cui Wenjun glanced at Liu Xuanji, and then asked An Lan again what he had just asked Jinfinch.

An Lan was surprised, why did the great incense master ask about her mother-in-law?

The answer she knew, like the golden finch, Cui Wenjun didn't ask anything else.

Cui Wenjun's grandmother then asked: "So, you only entered Yuanxiang Courtyard seven years ago?" โ€

An Lan bowed her head: "Yes." โ€

"Where were you before entering the Yuanxiang Temple?"

"Slave, slave doesn't remember much."

"How could you not remember, you were at least seven years old at that time, and you could already remember."

"The slave doesn't dare to say anything, it's really not impressive."

The grandmother still wanted to ask, but Cui Wenjun raised her head slightly, and then asked, "How is Granny An's body now?" โ€

An Lan paused for a while before saying, "Mother-in-law has been sick for a long time. โ€

"What disease?"

"The doctor said that it was a knee injury left when he was young, and now he can only take care of it, and it can't be cured."

Cui Wenjun was silent for a long time, then stood up and left there.

An Lan was a little dazed, and it wasn't until Cui Wenjun got off the Tongque Terrace that she raised her face, but saw the county lord of Danyang walking towards her. (To be continued......)
