Chapter 174: Meeting

Li Huairong's foothold in Chang'an was ordered by Jing Yan to Zhou Da to do it, and it happened that there was a vacant mansion on Qinghua Street, called Jinyuyuan, which was the property of a wealthy businessman who stayed in the capital. This house is not far from Jingfu, it is convenient to come and go, and after getting Jing Yan's instructions, Zhou Da asked people to tidy up and invited Li Sanye and his wife to live in.

It is named after the golden fish, naturally because there are many golden fish in this garden.

It's just that it's already a cold winter month, and there were several snowfalls a few days ago, and there was a thin layer of ice on the wild goose lake outside the city, and the fish in the lake were hidden under the water, so how could you still see the scales.

Therefore, when An Lan entered the Jinyu Garden with Jing Yan, looking at the white mist pond under the Jiuqu Corridor and the fish swimming in the pond, she couldn't help but slow down in surprise.

"It's hot spring water, and it's geothermal, so it doesn't freeze even in winter." Jing Yan saw that she was interested, so he stopped and looked at the fat golden fish in the water, "In addition to the ornamental golden fish, there are also a lot of carp and herring in this pool, all of which are fat and thick, whether they are steamed or braised in the water, they are delicious." If you fish by yourself, it's even more fun. When I was young, whenever I was hungry, I would pick up a few brothers in the house, sneak in with a fishing rod, catch a few fatty fish, no matter what kind of species, and after skewering them, I would set up a fire in the backyard and roast them directly. ”

An Lan was a little surprised that Jing Gongzi told her these things, and asked in a daze, "Is it delicious?" ”

The expression on Jing Yan's face fell into remembrance for a moment, and then a soft smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "The world is delicious." ”

That kind of smile, like spring water. There is a three-point cold of winter. It is unsurpassed. Such a style is the grand scene of the world.

An Lan couldn't stop looking at him, Jing Yan's eyes swept over her face, and then he raised his hand and flicked it lightly on her forehead: "Hungry?" I'll ask the kitchen to make two for you. ”

The wind lifted his wide sleeved robe, An Lan came back to his senses, and shook his head a little embarrassedly: "No, there is no gluttony, the spring of this hot spring." Where is it? So much water can come out! ”

"There is a small spring in the Jinyu Garden, which was found in the backyard when digging a pond. Unfortunately, the temperature is not high enough, so when this garden was built, water was simply diverted around the garden, so there are many golden fish here, and the sound of carp fluttering can often be heard in the middle of the night. Jing Yan led her inside, and gestured in the direction of Jingfu, "There is also a big spring in Baiyuan, and the water temperature of that hot spring is high, which is not suitable for raising fish." Jing Gong ordered someone to build a natural hot spring pool there, just in time for a soak in winter. ”

An Lan was surprised: "There are also hot springs in the White Garden!" ”

"Hmm. On the east side of the White Garden, you used to live on the side of the plum house on the west side, so you can't see it. When Jing Yan said this, he turned his head to look at her and said with a smile, "It's such a cold day, it's just right for a hot spring, it's close here, you can show yourself well, maybe Bai Guanghan is happy, and you can go to his hot spring to take a dip." ”

An Lan hurriedly said: "An Lan doesn't have such extravagant thoughts. ”

Jing Yan looked at her and smiled: "It doesn't matter if you have, besides, how can this be extravagant." ”

An Lan lowered her eyes, wanting to say that there was really not, but she felt that it was awkward to emphasize it so deliberately, so she stopped, and then looked at the side that had already walked to the main room, and asked, "How long does Mrs. Li want to stay here?" ”

"The elders of the Li family are here, and she always has to go back for the New Year, and she will stay for a month at most." Jing Yan stepped on the steps as he spoke, then stopped, turned to look at her and said, "Mrs. Li is more wary now, whether she can accept you or not, it's uncertain." ”

An Lan was stunned, in this way, if she was not trusted by Mrs. Li, wouldn't she even have a chance to compete with the county lord of Danyang?!

But before she could ask, she saw the blue-clothed scribe she had seen in the Swallow Tower come out of the hall, and Chao Jingyan arched his hand and said: "Jing Gongzi is here, and there is a loss of distance and a loss of welcome." ”

Jing Yan returned the salute, and then pointed at An Lan: "This is An Lan, who is also the incense attendant of the Tianshu Palace, and she is still a little clever, so Mr. Guanghan ordered her to come over to accompany Mrs. Zun." ”

Li Huairong waved his hand at An Lan: "There is Miss Lao Anlan, I have caused trouble to you, and I am very ashamed." ”

An Lan bowed: "Third Master Li is serious, if An Lan can do her part, it is An Lan's honor, and it will not live up to Mr. Li's trust." ”

When Li Huairong invited them in, Jing Yan asked, "What about Mr. Guanghan?" ”

Li Huairong said: "Mr. Guanghan has something to do, and he doesn't dare to stay for a long time, and he has left an hour ago." ”

Jing Yan nodded, glanced at An Lan, and then asked on her behalf: "Is the county lord of Danyang still there?" Do you remember her? ”

"The county lord is here, it's strange to say, Neiko and the county lord just had a few encounters ten years ago, but I still remember the county lord." Li Huairong didn't know whether he was relieved or puzzled, and shook his head and sighed as he spoke, "The people who have been with me for many years can't remember one of them." ”

Jing Yan persuaded: "The matter has come to this, don't be too anxious." ”

Li Huairong nodded slightly, and then instructed the maid next to him to bring the ginseng tea that his wife drank every day, and then said to An Lan: "Neiko doesn't like strangers to get close now, and insists that she is not sick, so she can only be wronged by the girl for a while and pretend to be a maid to go in. If Neiko doesn't drink it, the girl should not show that she is the incense attendant of the Tianshu Palace, because ...... For some reason, Uchiko was very disgusted with the people of the Tianshu Temple. ”

An Lan glanced at Jing Yan, and Jing Yan nodded.

After a while, the maid came over with a bowl of ginseng tea, An Lan took it, and then entered the main house and walked inside. Just walked to the door of the inner room, and heard the voice of the county lord of Danyang inside: "I have always heard that Chang'an is a fun place, especially the night market, it is said that there are all kinds of novelties, but I have always lived in the palace before, and it is not easy to get out of the palace at night, so I haven't visited the night market in Chang'an." ”

"That's a pity, it's just that I'm here now, why don't we make an appointment and go to the night market to open your eyes, what do you think?" An Lan paused, her voice was full of excitement, and it didn't sound like a woman who already had three children, but like a girl who hadn't left the cabinet.

"I'm naturally willing......" The county lord of Danyang said half a sentence, An Lan opened the curtain and walked in, and the county lord of Danyang stopped and looked at An Lan.

Ye Qingqing also raised her eyes and looked over, and when she saw that it was a girl with a raw face, she frowned, just looking at her holding a careful and ginseng tea in her hand, she was a maid in Jinyuyuan, so she didn't have a seizure on the spot, but just twisted her expression, obviously unhappy.

"Lady, your ginseng tea is ready." An Lan walked over with ginseng tea and said with a smile.

Ye Qingqing is a well-maintained woman, although she does not have the charm of a blade hidden in Cui Wenjun's gentleness, nor is she as domineering as Liu Xuanji who turns all beings upside down, but she is also refreshing and upright, even if she is close to forty, she looks like she is only in her early thirties, which is a rare beauty.

Li Huairen, who was waiting outside, heard An Lan call Ye Qingqing a "lady", so he glanced at Jing Yan in surprise and said in a low voice: "This girl, so careful." ”

Ye Qingqing didn't remember that he was married, if An Lan called her "madam" as soon as she entered, it would definitely make Ye Qingqing feel disgusted. Li Huairong sighed in his heart, he forgot to explain just now, or he didn't know how to explain, but he didn't want this girl to have noticed.

"Hold it aside." Inside the house, Ye Qingqing said lazily, and he didn't plan to drink.

An Lan had expected it, and put the ginseng tea in her hand on a table: "I was negligent, this tea is hot, and it has to be dried for a while." ”

Ye Qingqing frowned again, and was about to open her mouth to let An Lan out, but An Lan said again before she opened her mouth: "It turns out that the county lord is also here." As she spoke, she saluted the Lord of Danyang.

The county lord of Danyang had to stand up and return the salute, if it was just a subordinate, the lord of Danyang only needed to sit and accept this salute, and there was no one who got up to return the salute. So Ye Qingqing took back the words that came out, looked at the two of them back and forth, and wondered: "You know?" ”

An Lan said: "I know, the county lord is approachable, has a noble character, interacts with people, and never asks about his background. ”

"Miss An Lan is too awarded." The county lord of Danyang smiled and flattered, "Miss An Lan is very talented, and it is my honor to be able to make friends with Miss An Lan." ”

Ye Qingqing was surprised, sat up straight, looked at An Lan carefully, and was about to ask how they met, but An Lan spoke again: "When I just came in, I heard the county lord and the lady talk about the night market in Chang'an City, and it happened that I heard an interesting story about the night market a few days ago, and I can talk about it with the county lord and the lady."
