When I see that mountain and that temple every day, I always feel that it is close in front of me, and it seems that I can walk through it as soon as I lift my foot. But in fact, it took half an hour to walk from Genxiangin to the stone steps leading to Changxiang Hall, and it was still a shortcut mountain road, and if you took the wide avenue that could pass through horse-drawn carriages, the time would have to be doubled.

Yuanxiangyuan originally belonged to the Tianji Palace, so the hand of the king in charge of the office could pass here. The stone steps are not steep, and a platform is built every other section, and there are tables and chairs or gazebos on the platform for resting, plus the picturesque scenery on both sides, so the walk is not tiring along the way.

"Shi Song, do you know what the king asked me to give to Yang Dian's servant?" After going up the stone steps, An Lan asked the little guy who came with her. Shi Song and Shi Zhu are both small servants around Wang Zhangshi, and they have been quite trusted by Wang Zhangshi recently, so Wang Zhangshi assigned An Lan to run an errand this time, and specially asked Shi Song to follow him and keep an eye on it.

It's just that the king is in charge of things but he doesn't know that Shi Zhu has been fascinated by women, and he has fallen deeper and deeper, and he has long lost his original loyalty. And Shi Song once accepted An Lan's affection, although neither of them mentioned it again after that, but between them, they are different from others.

Three years ago, Shi Song had just entered the Yuanxiang Yuan as an errand and had no foundation, not only was he often bullied by the attendants of the Xiangyuan at that time, but almost all of his monthly money was withheld by the older guys in the Wang's Courtyard, and sometimes he couldn't even eat enough.

He is different from Caryophyllus, Caryophyllum is a living deed, and there are parents here, and the situation at home is getting better day by day; He signed a death contract, and his parents are long gone, and now he is a naked person, like Xiangnu, after entering the Xiangyuan, no one will ask whether he is alive or dead.

In the third month of entering the Yuanxiang Courtyard, Shi Song had a serious illness, and one evening, he suddenly collapsed in the stable, which happened to be seen by An Lan. At that time, Granny An was also dizzy and feverish, so there were still some medicine residues in the medicine jar. Xu is sympathy, maybe it is a gesture, in short, An Lan fried another bowl of medicine from Granny An's dregs, and secretly sent it to Shi Song for him to take.

It was a cheap life, and he was young, so he drank the medicine for three days, and Shi Song's illness was cured.

Later, Shi Song didn't come to An Lan to thank him, and An Lan never mentioned it.

At that time, Shi Song didn't know that An Lan would be targeted by Wang Zhangshi, and An Lan didn't know that Shi Song would be an errand by Wang Zhangshi in the future, and he was quite trusted. In that filthy place covered by incense, the good thoughts sent by the heart back then were like a lotus flower, out of the mud and unstained, and in the future, they will finally be rewarded.

"It is a precious spice that the king keeps privately." Shi Song followed An Lan and glanced at the tortoiseshell-inlaid box, "Those spices are worth a lot of money, in addition to spices, there is also a handwritten letter. ”

An Lan was a little uneasy, and asked again, "What is written in the letter?" ”

Shi Song glanced at her and shook his head. It is impossible for the king to let him read the contents of the letter, and even if he does, it is useless because he cannot read. The people in the incense courtyard, except for the head of the incense and a few incense envoys, are almost illiterate. Therefore, the incense envoy is in place, and it itself carries a threshold. Of course, if there is a fragrant slave who wins the favor of the master, then before the incense envoy, the director will deliberately ask people to make up for the evil of the fragrant slave he likes. Temporarily cramming, how much can recognize a few words, so under the care of the master, the assessment is not too difficult, and I will learn slowly in the future, and after a few years, I will be different from before.

An Lan hesitated for a moment, looked at Shi Song tentatively, and then tried to open the box in his hand, Shi Song looked away and didn't say anything.

There are two layers of the box, the upper layer really puts a letter, and the next layer puts the Qi Nan incense, the best in the agarwood, only to open the box, you can smell the aroma. She didn't dare to move privately with such a piece of precious incense worth tens of thousands of dollars, so she quickly closed it after just looking at it, and then fell her eyes on the letter.

It's just that the letter was sealed, and it was also lit with wax and stamped.

If she wanted to read the contents of the letter, she would definitely destroy the wax print, but now that the matter has reached a critical step, it is likely that one step will be missing, and the result will be completely different. And in a few days, it will be the day of the incense envoy. An Lan looked at the letter, feeling more and more uneasy, earning the position of incense envoy was her only chance to lead to that road. She didn't want any accidents, and she couldn't accept that something was happening right in front of her eyes, but she didn't know anything.

pinched the envelope, struggled in my heart for a while, and finally gritted my teeth and let it go.

At this time, the two of them had already walked to the platform of the stone steps, and there were stone tables and chairs nearby, so An Lan walked over, put the box in his hand on the stone table, and then tore open the letter. Shi Song looked at her and opened his mouth, but he didn't stop her.

Wang Zhangshi's letter was not long, but in a moment, An Lan finished reading it, but after reading it, her face turned white.

"What's on it?" Shi Song saw that her expression had changed, so he couldn't help but ask.

An Lan squeezed the letter tightly and was silent for a while before saying, "The letter said that I am clever and obedient, and I heard that Yang Dianzhi has a lot of miscellaneous things in the past few days, so he specially sent me over to help......

The letter also said that An Lan was the most popular with him, and she was a very considerate person, with ambiguous hints in every word.

This kind of gift-giving and gift-giving is not uncommon anywhere.

Although she didn't know how much this box of top-quality agarwood was, she had heard Lu Yunxian say that there was a incense master who only used less than two catties of Qi Nan incense to change to a four-entry mansion located in Chang'an City.

The Qi Nan incense in this box in his hand will not be less than two catties.

An Lan's face was slightly pale, but after a while, a little abnormal flushing appeared on her face, so she was angry and unwilling in her heart. She didn't know if Yang Dianshou would keep her, no matter whether Yang Dianshou was interested in her or not, Wang Zhangshi sent such a big gift to the past, and was so sincere, in her opinion, it was very likely that Yang Dianshou would accept it all.

However, the incense envoy's exam was only three days later, and if she was left here, of course, there would be no way to take the incense envoy's exam. At that time, even if Lu Yunxian intends to help her, he will be powerless in the face of such a situation. If Yang Dian's servant really left her, what could Lu Yunxian do with a small incense envoy. And that Jing Gongzi has also made it clear that he will not give her any help at this time, and she must rely on her own strength to stand in that position.

Whatever the king's purpose, it must have been intentional on his part. In the case that he had already offended the White Library, he still wanted to not only please Yang Dianzhi, but also block all her opportunities, so greedy and ruthless. It made her frightened, frightened and angry, she couldn't, so obediently accepted her fate.

An Lan pinched the letter, her chest heaved for a while, and a cruel light suddenly appeared in her eyes, so she raised her hand and tore the letter to shreds.

She doesn't allow the slightest accident, she doesn't allow anyone to stop her!

Shi Song was startled, and raised his hand to stop it, but he followed and put it down.

After An Lan threw those fragments into the mountain stream, watching those fragments being blown away by the mountain wind, disappearing into the lush mountain forest in a blink of an eye, and completely disappearing, Shi Song said: "How do you explain to Wang Zhangshi when you go back?" ”

"If you don't say it, if I don't say it, he won't know, and it is impossible for him to ask Yang Dianshou if he has read this letter. Anyway, I will send the box over in a while, and Yang Dian's attendant will not accept these incense, it is a reply to him. An Lan faced the mountain stream, stood on the edge of the stone platform, and said this calmly. The mountain breeze hunted, raised the hem of her skirt, curled her long hair, and cleared her eyebrows.
