The richest man in Chang'an, this title is enough to make countless powerful people bend their waists.

Before seeing the real person, maybe no matter who has a little reverie, they have a bit of a reverie in their hearts, and they have depicted a noble or majestic image in their hearts, and An Lan is naturally no exception, especially after knowing so many things, she thinks more than others.

It's just that when I really saw Jing Gong, I found that in fact, he was just an ordinary person, an ordinary old man.

After An Lan saluted, she did not shy away from it, raised her eyes again, and quietly looked at the old man in front of her.

At second glance, she felt that the old man in front of her was not ordinary.

Not because the bed he was lying on was made of thousand-year-old agarwood, nor because the dishes and bowls he was holding medicine were carved from a single piece of warm fragrant jade, not because even the spittoon at his feet exuded a natural fragrance, but because the eyes, even if they were cloudy, still showed the light of wisdom.

If you want to ask An Lan what the light of wisdom is, she can't actually say, she just senses this indescribable power from the old man.

Different from the pressure when facing the Great Incense Master, the old man in front of him, like the sea in the dark night, even if he can't see his true face, he can still feel his strength. It is a kind of spiritual, or rather, tempered by life, precipitated by years, and has gained insight into the power of world affairs and human feelings.

"You go out, I'll talk to the little girl." Jing Gong also glanced at An Lan a few times, and then said to Jing Yan.

Jing Yan nodded, patted An Lan lightly on the shoulder, and then turned around and went out.

An Lan couldn't help but turn her head and watched Jing Yan leave the room, and then turned her face back. He looked at the old man in front of him with some apprehension.

Jing Gong raised his hand slightly: "Don't be nervous." Come. Help me to sit down over there. ”

An Lan immediately walked over, helped Jing Gong to sit on the Luohan bed on the left, and then came back to bring the blankets and smokers on the Babu bed, and then brought the tea on the table and carefully placed it on the table of the Luohan bed.

When she used to take care of Granny An, she did all these things, so now she is doing it very easily.

Jing Gong didn't speak, and waited until she was done. Only then did he look at her and said, "Ziwen has mentioned you to me several times, and for so many years, he has rarely talked to me about others, and he has been talking to me several times." ”

Ziwen is Jing Yan's cousin, but because he is young and senior, he is very old, so many times, others are used to calling him Jing Gongzi, which saves many inconveniences in the title.

An Lan stood aside with her eyes down, listening quietly.

Jing Gong continued: "I know he is serious. So, I had to be serious too. ”

An Lan suddenly felt a little uneasy in her heart. raised her eyes, but saw that Jing Gong was still looking at her like just now, and there was no anger on his face.

"I don't have much time left, but I still have some things left in my heart." Jing Gong looked at her, his expression was not strict, but it was not gentle, but it was enough to make her listen carefully.

It's just that when Jing Gong said this, he sighed lightly: "It's just an old man's wish, there is no one else here, I bring it up, if you want, you can agree, if you don't want to, you don't have to agree, you don't have to have any embarrassment, but you must answer with your heart." ”

An Lan said seriously: "Yes, please say." ”

Jing Gong looked around the room and said slowly: "The Jing family has been rich and noble for more than 100 years, but the foundation is still not as good as those huge families that have been inherited for hundreds of years, or even thousands of years. Moreover, the Jing family is thriving to this day, and there is a tendency to run out. I had no children in my life, and I wanted to inherit one from my clan, but I just picked and chosen, but none of them could get into the eye. Over the years, it has also proved that I was not wrong at the beginning, none of those children in the clan can afford this burden, and all the descendants of the Jing family combined are not as good as one Ziwen. ”

Hearing such an evaluation, An Lan felt a little strange in her heart, as if she was a little proud and a little honored.

"When I sent Yan'er into the Changxiang Palace, I hoped that their brothers could cooperate inside and out, take care of each other, and after a hundred years, I can also rest assured, who knows that the world is unpredictable." When Jing Gong said this, he looked at An Lan again, "You already know?" ”

An Lan's heart sank slightly, lowered her eyes, and her voice was a little gloomy: "Yes." ”

Jing Gong nodded: "Nowadays, the Qiē of Jingfu is basically decided by Zi Wen, but it is a matter of life and death, and I can't help but ask." Little girl, you are now the heir of the Tianshu Palace, but it is still unclear whether you can ascend to that position smoothly. Therefore, if I wish you the power of Jingfu, I will help you. After you truly inherit the Tianshu Palace, are you willing to make a promise to take care of Jingfu as much as you can during your lifetime? ”

An Lan was stunned, and after a while, she said, "Of course I ......"

However, before she could speak, Jing Gong raised his hand to stop her words: "I know, you are carried all the way by Ziwen, so your heart is naturally towards him, and he is the heir of Jingfu, so you think in your heart that in the future, you have the ability, and it is a matter of course to take care of Jingfu." However, today, what I am talking to you about is only a matter between me and you, and it has nothing to do with Ziwen, so you don't have to take him into account. ”

An Lan was a little dazed, no, she actually understood what Jing Gong meant, but for some reason, she was a little worried in her heart.

Jing Gong saw the look in her eyes, and said in his heart, she was really a sensitive and intelligent girl, so she said again: "Or, let me ask you this, if one day, Ziwen will send you everything that can be given to you, are you willing to take his responsibility for him?" ”

An Lan opened her mouth, but Jing Gong said: "Don't be in a hurry to answer, and don't have any worries, the family business of Jingfu is so big that you can't imagine it at the moment, you can think about it first, and then answer me." ”

However, An Lan was silent for less than a cup of tea before she spoke: "I can be so valued by you, An Lan is sincerely afraid, but such a promise, for me, is not something that can be exchanged for a transaction." Mr. Jing Gongzi and Mr. Guanghan have both the grace of regeneration, the grace of recreation, and the grace of acquaintance. Therefore, the promise I made today is not because you can promise me a hand, but because Childe is an irreplaceable person for me. ”

Jing Gong looked at her and was silent for a long time.

After An Lan finished speaking, she couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive in her heart, thinking that she was too angry and annoying?

It's just that she was just about to raise her eyes when Jing Gong spoke: "No matter what the reason, you can be regarded as making this promise today, so my promise to you will naturally work." ”

An Lan paused, raised her face, and saw a very faint smile on Jing Gong's face, looking at her eyes, it also revealed the care that belonged to the elders: "Lan girl, I am very happy that you can have this intention, you remember, as long as you want, anything, Jing Fu can make decisions for you." ”

……

After An Lan went out a little dazed and a little ignorant, Jing Yan came over and asked, "What did you say, so long?" ”

An Lan paused before saying, "Gong Jing, please take care of Jing Mansion, after I become a great incense master." ”

The surprise in Jing Yan's eyes flashed, and then his eyes showed tenderness, he raised his hand and stroked her face a few times with the back of his index finger.

He whispered, "I'm looking forward to it." (To be continued......)
