Chapter 91: Lan Wan's Lord's Men: Lan Xiu
He didn't say anything to let her get out.
The land of Yunshu,
Cloudsdale,
Inside the Anning King's Garden.
Lan Zechen is relaxing on a rocking chair at the moment to take a nap, the fragrance of osmanthus in the courtyard is overflowing, although it can't make Lan Zechen feel relaxed, but still comfortable.
Here, it is windy, the wind is not strong, and it will not blow the smoke and dust for miles, only a few fine petals can be scraped off, and they fall on Lan Zechen's long neck, placket, and hem, everywhere dresses this good man like a princess.
Yes, like a white and flawless princess, she likes a male princess who has rules and pays attention to everything.
It's not coquettish, it's just beautiful.
Wei Su walked up to him with a very light step and bowed down to report: "Lord Wang, the news from the capital is here, Lan Wan and Fang Qinglan have lived together recently, and they often eat and chat with Guan Ming.
I heard that as long as she handles the affairs of the envoy group well this time, the emperor will fulfill his promise and give her the fief outside Qingtang City.
At that time, you can use the governance method agreed upon by the two of you to carry out command and dispatch as soon as possible. โ
Lan Zechen: "This matter is not in a hurry, what other news is there?" โ
Wei Su: "There is also the fact that Guan Ming has already controlled most of the business operations in the capital in one day, and it is still increasing, he will soon ask you if you have mastered the people on the side of the third lady of the third master of Yangzhou."
Lord, what should you say at that time? โ
"Wei Su, this is not a problem you should consider, hurry up and let people make an estimate of the number of catties of vegetables in the secondary crop.
There is also a good control of the flow and dispatch of grain in the capital, and see what other actions our talented official Ming Gongzi has next. โ
"Yes! Rajah.
Then Lord, when will you leave for Beijing? โ
Lan Zechen opened his beautiful eyes, and there was no smile on the corner of his mouth, nor did he see any other expression: "Before the Mid-Autumn Festival, after the mission comes." โ
"Yes, my lord, my subordinates will retire."
โฆโฆ
Lan Zechen leaned in his comfortable soft chair, breathing in the fresh air blowing in front of him, looking at the clear sky outside the window, and the wind and sunshine were beautiful.
Hehe! Guan Ming, I want to see if you are cornered, in the end...... What will be done......
Lan Wan County Lord's Mansion,
Later, Lan Wan accompanied Guan Ming for a whole day, although she probably didn't do anything except pat herself on the back and take advantage of Guan Ming, but she still felt quite tired.
In fact, who is right to let Guan Ming, she really ran over to rub Guan Ming's oil because she didn't get any bargain from Fang Qinglan, no way, who called Lan Wan has recently deeply realized that she is actually a pervert who can't be idle?
Why not be able to tease our little scholars while monitoring the changes in the capital's business network normally?
โฆโฆ
Today's sunset is very late, the sunset is bright red through half of the sky, the light shines on the fat autumn fruit leaves, the leaves are green and shiny, as if it can also be eaten, the autumn wind is not cold, this hour just blows a burst of rice fragrance.
Lan Wan was in a relatively sheltered pavilion in Nanyuan today, and set up a table of small dishes for dinner, except for a plate of green pepper and shredded pork left for herself, the others were vegetarian dishes.
"County Lord, are you going to have a banquet for the officials and generals...... Do you still want to show them face? Why are they all vegetarian?
The only plate of meat you prepared for yourself is you, are you sure that the general will not take that whip to your table for a moment? โ
Hua Jiao, who was dressed in a pink fairy costume, teased the dish ordered by Lan Wan, and put the freshly warmed cherry sake on the table in her hand.
Hearing this, Lan Wan rubbed two handfuls on Hua Jiao's face, "Heh-you Hua Jiao, who do you have a crush on?" Say, why are you teasing me so much? โ
"Huh! Princess...... If I fall in love with any adult, I don't borrow two legs to run away with others, you are still waiting for me to be stupid here and waiting for you to find out?
Hua Jiao just thinks it's funny that the county lord invites his family to dinner and watches people put down dishes. โ
"Tsk! Well, you're right, it's really possible to be so beautiful, but you're not as smart as me!
You see, if you turn home with an irritable temper like Fang Qinglan, if you don't put out the fire, won't you suffer?
Look at your county lord and me, how caring and thoughtful, look, I found that Guan Ming and Fang Qinglan have not been in a good mood in recent days, so ah, these dishes I ordered are all for them to cool down the fire.
Ha ha! What do you think? Hua Jiao, admire me, right?
Your county lord and I are a double tanhua with five cars of learning, can it be difficult for me to get sycophants? โ
"Heh, hehehe......"
Hua Jiao looked at Lan Wan bragging to her in a good mood, and couldn't take back the smile on the corner of her mouth, and then looked at these vegetarian dishes on the table, and couldn't help but interrupt Lan Wan's satisfied smile.
"Uh...... I said, Lord of the County, are you sure that the eggplant is fried with beans...... There is also fried bitter gourd with potatoes...... There is also this boiled tofu with fresh mushrooms and vinegar...... Are they all edible? โ
The smile on the corner of Lan Wan's mouth was decisively retracted, and she pushed Hua Jiao to walk outside the pavilion.
"Hua Jiao, do you know that bitter gourd has a miraculous effect on reducing fire...... Mushroom stewed tofu with vinegar This is what I came up with myself, how do you know if you can't eat it if you don't eat it?
There are few dishes today, so I won't give you a chance to try it first, go quickly!
What to do, what to do!
If you have nothing to do, you can go and chat with Yuxi! The two uncles of the genius and the general are coming soon, don't you come out and mess around, do you know? โ
The short Hua Jiao was pushed straight by Lan Wan, and her face was full of smiles.
"Haha! Alright, alright......
Don't push it, Hua Jiao doesn't have the ability to deceive your two uncles, ...... Let's weigh it first, can you avoid this whip from General Fang......"
"Shut up, Huajiao, go away! This is an innovative dish specially ordered by the county lord to make in the kitchen, and you are not allowed to preach it to me everywhere, do you hear? โ
"Oh, good lord...... Hua Jiao remembered, then good luck, shoot ...... Belch...... Make the two adults happy and successful. โ
After speaking, Hua Jiao smiled and ran away, no, when she thought of Fang Qinglan and Guan Ming being treated by Lan Wan for a while, she couldn't help laughing, she wanted to find a place where no one was, but she laughed vigorously......
As soon as Hua Jiao left, Guan Ming and Fang Qinglan were invited by other subordinates, and they saw Hua Jiao running away with a smile.
Looking at the well-behaved Lan Wan not far in front of them, the two glanced at each other and decisively came to a conclusion:
- Lan Wan came to them today, it must be no good thing!
โฆโฆ
"Why did you two get here? Hurry up, come, the county lord found that the two senior officials of our family were not in a good mood today, and specially warmed the cherry blossom sake brewed by Lan Zechen himself, so he invited the two of you to come over.
Come...... Give it a try...... I don't drink a lot of alcohol, but it tastes good......"
The two of them were already furious when they saw Lan Wan inviting them over so doggedly today, and then seeing that she was actually pouring the wine into the cup in front of them at the moment, they were even more afraid, especially Fang Qinglan: "Lan Wan...... Why did you invite us to drink? You don't think you're going to put any poison in this glass of wine, are you? โ
Lan Wan's face turned black at that time, and then he smirked and said, "Isn't the little one being chased by the general with a whip, so I specially offer the good wine brewed by King An Ning himself to make you happy." โ
Seeing that Fang Qinglan didn't move, she turned her head to look at Guan Ming again, "Guan Ming, haven't you all drunk?" Why don't you drink it? Is it really because you are afraid that I will be poisoned when you see that I haven't drunk it? "Who I think is too embarrassed to say?
"Yes."
"Yes."
The two of them stared straight at her, and Lan Wankong opened her mouth: ......
Are you embarrassed to say that?
"Okay, I'll drink first, cut! You're all cowards, don't I have to poison you in wine? โ
"Bell!"
The wine glass was put on the table, and he said openly: "Look! I did it! Are you alright? โ
Fang Qinglan picked up the wine glass suspiciously, drank it all, tasted it, and nodded at Guan Ming,
"Well, it's Sakurakiyo, that's right."
After Guan Ming saw him comment like this, he looked down at the dishes on the table: Huh? At this glance, the eyebrows of the two people furrowed to the point of doubting life......
"Lan Wan, this dish ...... Did you do it yourself? โ
"Uh, naturally not, I won't, this is a very famous dish in the land of Yunshu, uh, it's all about fire, seeing you work so hard, I naturally want to be interesting, and invite you to eat the delicious food in Yunshu, good things, everyone can share it, ha......"
Although Guan Ming felt that Lan Wan was obviously lying, he still nodded cooperatively, stretched out his chopsticks and paused, and looked at Fang Qinglan,
"The county lord has a heart, the general will taste it first."
Fang Qinglan was stunned for a moment, then nodded, Lan Wan was looking forward to Fang Qinglan's thunderous jump, but this time this guy was surprisingly quiet, and he actually ...... silently I tasted every dish slowly, and at the end, I drank several cups of cherry blossoms.
Guan Ming and Lan Wan both looked at it seriously, but this guy didn't even have a painful expression, Guan Ming was still not very relieved, and looked at Lan Wan with his eyes,
"Lan Wan, you can't skip eating when you're treated, why don't you move your chopsticks?"
"Uh...... I...... I ......"
Fang Qinglan's eyes glared: "You are going to eat quickly!" What you're doing! โ
Let Fang Qinglan shout like this, Lan Wan was completely silent, thinking, anyway, if she was punished for eating this dish today, she would definitely not be able to escape, but fortunately, she must pull another cushion!
"Good! Eat it, I just want to say that there are few dishes, I originally wanted to let you have some, alas! If you don't know the hearts of good people, come, and see me eat for you. โ
In fact, when she said this, Lan Wan was completely sure that Fang Qinglan and her were of the same idea, so she was not afraid that her words with a clear conscience would be exposed.
Then Lan Wan seemed to have dug a pit and buried herself, swallowing mouthfuls of strange {exquisite} dishes bitterly, and then she had to learn from Fang Qinglan's appearance, and strive to have no different colors on her face.
โฆโฆ
Finally, Lan Wan ate her back full of cold sweat, her stomach turned over, and her mouth was numb and unconscious, so she pulled out a conscious, gentle and beautiful smile, and glanced at the two of them, especially Guan Ming,
"Look, I'll just say that these dishes are all Yunshu's specialties.
Look, Guan Ming, I ate it, the taste is not as mellow as the local Yunshu, but it's not bad, Guan Ming, can you taste it? โ
Fang Qinglan looked at Lan Wan's face and heartbeat vernacular, and there was a burst of contempt in his heart:
The cooks of Yunshu probably carried the largest black pot in the world, and if they could make such a special dish, they would definitely not survive for three days under the hands of the picky Lan Zechen.
Guan Ming looked at the two people with no different colors, and probably really believed the two of them, although he really hadn't eaten this, and tentatively sandwiched a chopstick tofu that looked like a normal color,
"Poofโ"
"Don't you know that this tofu is broken? You can't cover it up with vinegar! โ
Lan Wan: Uh......
Then he added another mouthful of eggplant,
Guan Ming: ......
His eyes were stunned.
"How did you two swallow it? Is this cooked? โ
"What's this green one?"
It's strange to say, in fact, there are not only three dishes on the table, but Guan Ming just picked these three dishes.
Lan Wan and Fang Qinglan didn't dare to say it, waiting for him to put the bitter gourd shreds in their mouths......
