Chapter 72: See An Zichen
Zhong Xuanlan and Concubine Xu walked out of Fengyi Palace.
Concubine Xu's face immediately became gloomy.
Zhong Xuanlan said: "Niangniang, you and I have no enmity, why do you have to fight for me all the time?" ”
Concubine Xu looked at Zhong Xuanlan and said resentfully: "Isn't there no hatred?" My Xu family has suffered heavy losses. ”
Zhong Xuanlan stared at Concubine Xu's eyes and asked, "Your family is lost?" Or is it the loss of the people behind you? ”
Concubine Xu looked at Zhong Xuanlan in shock, and it was gone in the blink of an eye, but she was still captured by Zhong Xuanlan.
Zhong Xuanlan continued: "Niangniang, the emperor is too suspicious, I hope Niangniang is cautious in her words and deeds." With that, he walked on.
When Concubine Xu heard this, her right hand tightly grasped the hand of the palace maid who was supporting her beside her, her left hand was tightly clenched, her nails were deep in the flesh, and she said, "Zhong Xuanlan, I won't let you go." When I left the palace, I asked my mother to send her new phoenix feather cloak into the palace in person. By the way, how much money did Hongu lose today? ”
"Niangniang, 500,000 taels, do you want to report this matter to the master?"
Concubine Xu looked at the palace maid holding an umbrella beside her with a cold gaze and said, "No." ”
……
The snow was falling, pedestrians were hurrying by, there were hardly many people on the road, and a horse-drawn carriage walked slowly on the road.
The tea mist in the car was curling, and Zhong Xuanlan's whole person was shrouded in fog, looming.
After a long time, Zhong Xuanlan opened his mouth and ordered: "Go to Chunfeng Tower." ”
Dong Solstice said: "Big boss, it's just noon." ”
"Huh?" Zhong Xuanlan stared at the winter solstice for a while and said, "I'll go for lunch." ”
Dong Solstice said: "Childe is waiting for you to eat at home?" ”
Zhong Xuanlan held the hand of the teacup for a moment, put down the teacup, and said, "Winter Solstice, what benefits did he give you?" ”
Dong Solstice said suspiciously: "What, what benefits?" ”
Zhong Xuanlan said: "Since you didn't give it, then why are you all reminding me to be nice to him, am I not good enough for him?" ”
The winter solstice lowered his eyes and said no more.
You have taken care of him materially, but he also wants you to spend time with him in your spare time.
Just like the young master, he was waiting for you to go home at the gate, and after being disappointed again and again, he relied on trouble to get you to pay attention to him, but you still didn't realize that your family needed companionship.
Zhong Xuanlan pinched his eyebrows and said, "Don't silence me, the day before yesterday, Zhong You was angry that I investigated the little guy, and yesterday Uncle Zhong said angrily that I shouldn't investigate the little guy, the husband and wife should be honest, if I want to know anything, just ask each other." Can you tell the truth if you ask? By the way, and my father and my brother too, they are nagging the little guy all the time. ”
Dong Solstice looked at Zhong Xuanlan with some pity, the old lady taught her how to behave in the world and calculate gains and losses, but did not teach her how to trust and love someone. said: "The old lady said that the big boss wants to find a person who loves each other to marry, and don't repeat the mistakes of the past." Master Mo said that if you meet someone you like, learn to try to trust each other, and don't let them down. The big boss, how is the son's handwriting, how is the chess skill, how is the tea art, how is the cooking skill, how is the martial art, do you know? ”
Zhong Xuanlan was stunned, Dong Solstice glanced at Zhong Xuanlan, and said expressionlessly: "Have you ever seen it, no, you forget it every time you promise." When the young master was young, you were also so perfunctory, do you know that every time the young master comes in anticipation and returns disappointed? You used to go to school together, but because you were going to run a business, did the young master feel sad for a long time when he learned that you were going to study at night? Do you know that he sleeps during the day in order to go to school with you, but you say that he is lazy? You may know the big boss, but you just don't care. ”
Zhong Xuanlan lowered his eyes and was silent, his fingers rubbing the teacup, I don't know what he was thinking?
Dong Solstice was no longer speechless, she knew that the person in front of her was extremely smart and could figure it out.
"The big boss has arrived."
Zhong Xuanlan saw that Dong Solstice did not move, his eyes signaled, Dong Solstice shook his head slightly, and opened the car door.
Zhong Xuanlan said: "Go home after eating." With that, he walked out.
Dong Solstice had a little smile on his expressionless face, and followed Zhong Xuanlan out.
Zhong Xuanlan walked into the Chunfeng Building, which had not yet opened, with the winter solstice in it, and there was a strong smell of rouge gouache in it, some people were rehearsing on the stage, some people were chattering, and some people were cleaning......
The old bustard twisted his waist, waved his handkerchief, and said, "Yo, isn't this Zhong Da Master, rare guest, rare guest, I haven't seen you for a long time, I thought Zhong Da Master forgot me?" ”
Zhong Xuanlan said: "How come, isn't this coming to you for lunch?" ”
The old bustard smiled and said, "Look at what you said, what's the point of rubbing, I'll let the kitchen cook it for you now." ”
"Let An Zichen accompany me."
The old bustard said: "Zichen is resting, I'll let someone take you up." ”
Zhong Xuanlan took the winter solstice and followed the little girl to the third floor and came to the door of An Zichen's room.
When the little guy outside the door saw Zhong Xuanlan, he quickly stood up, saluted and said, "Zhong Da is in charge." ”
Zhong Xuanlan asked, "Is your son-in-law awake?" ”
Before the servant could respond, the door opened.
An Zichen looked at Zhong Xuanlan and was stunned, then returned to his senses and said, "Come in." ”
Zhong Xuanlan motioned for Dong Solstice to wait outside the door, and she walked into An Zichen's room.
The orchids blooming on the windowsill exude the fragrance of flowers and float in the house, making the house more fresh and elegant.
Zhong Xuanlan looked at the orchid bonsai and said, "You take good care of it." ”
"Do you like it?" An Zichen stood beside Zhong Xuanlan and looked at her side face, which was the face he had missed for a long time.
Zhong Xuanlan walked to the chair by the window and sat down, stretched out his hand to touch the orchid, and said, "Yes, I'll ask someone to send a few more pots." ”
An Zichen sat opposite, and while starting to make tea with a tea set, he asked, "Why did you think about coming here today?" ”
Zhong Xuanlan said: "Eat." ”
An Zichen glanced at Zhong Xuanlan with a smile, lowered his eyes, and continued the movements in his hands.
The room was quiet for a while, and the fragrance of tea slowly overflowed.
"Give."
Zhong Xuanlan took the teacup, sniffed it, slowly took a sip of tea, and said, "Your tea art has improved again." ”
An Zichen said: "You teach well. ”
Zhong Xuanlan was stunned for a moment, but quickly came back to his senses, hooked the corners of his lips and smiled, and said, "Then should I have some rewards?" ”
An Zichen said: "Okay, close your eyes." ”
Zhong Xuanlan put down the teacup and looked at An Zichen, who let her look at it.
"You're eighteen years old, have you ever thought about leaving?"
An Zichen shook his head.
Zhong Xuanlan didn't ask each other again, they met seven years ago, he helped her, and since then she has protected this person, she never thought that he was not simple, maybe he was calculating from the beginning.
"Xuanlan?"
Zhong Xuanlan came back to his senses and said with a smile: "I was wondering what you would send me?" He propped his chin in his hands and closed his eyes.
An Zichen got up and walked to Zhong Xuanlan's side, she sensed it, and held her head with her left hand to face him.
An Zichen bent down and stepped forward to kiss Zhong Xuanlan.
Zhong Xuanlan suddenly opened his eyes, looking at the handsome and fair face that had not left, and was slightly stunned.
An Zichen said: "Do you like this reward?" ”
The scorching breath sprayed on Zhong Xuanlan's face, making her very uncomfortable, she just had the idea of wanting to push An Zichen away and not betraying Wang Xuannian, and looked at An Zichen suspiciously.
An Zichen saw Zhong Xuanlan grabbing the clothes on his chest with his right hand, and saw her confused eyes slightly stunned, what's wrong with her?
"Childe, the meal is here."
The two came back to their senses, and An Zichen returned to his original seat and sat down before saying, "Come in." ”
"Yes."
