Chapter 44: Lan Mansion

"Thank you, Mother!" After getting the silver ticket, Yan Chuyi pushed Danqing's hand away, and quickly put the silver ticket into his arms. "Then the son won't bother his mother, and the child will go get the painting now!" As he spoke, he walked out as if he were in a gust of wind.

"This kid! Come to me, and I'm here to get the money! Zhao said with some disgust.

Seeing the situation, Mother Li hurriedly said with a smile: "Madam is talking nonsense again, the third young master will come to you as soon as he comes back, not only the slave and maid are talking here, who doesn't boast of filial piety if you change others!" ”

"You still help him speak!"

Mother Li has been waiting for the Zhao family for many years, and she knows that although she is complaining in her words, but the words must have said something in her heart, so she made the appearance of dissociating herself from the third young master, "Madame, if you are like this, you have wronged the slave maid, the slave maid, this is telling the truth!" ”

Zhao watched Yan Chuyi's back gradually disappear from sight, his eyes full of tenderness.

After Yan Meng came out of Yan Chunan's courtyard, she happened to meet Yan Chuyi who came out of Qingyun Courtyard in a hurry, she recalled that she seemed to have not seen Yan Chuyi for a long time, although it was not common for her to live in the same mansion on weekdays, but it was rare to live in the same mansion like this. With Yan Meng's understanding of Yan Chuyi, he also guessed where he must have gotten to fool around, because Yan Chuyi's current major in the academy does not need to run around to study like Yan Chunan, he is not something that Zhao can be coaxed by Yan Chuyi's few rhetoric, she believes what she sees.

Yan Meng was a little surprised when he saw Yan Chuyi so urgent, and walked up to him in three or two steps: "I've seen the third brother." ”

Yan Chuyi's face was a little unsightly when he was stopped, thinking that he was an inconspicuous minion, and he was about to scold people with anger in his heart, but when he looked sideways, he saw that it was the fifth sister who was submissive and rarely communicated on weekdays, so he still stopped his steps, pressed the anger in his heart, frowned, and responded in a stiff tone: "Fifth sister." ”

"The third brother carefully watched his steps." Yan Meng's voice was soft, and he said in a non-obtrusive tone.

Yan Meng said a word of concern for no reason, which made Yan Chuyi stunned, and his face showed surprise. Although they are brother and sister, they are cousins in the end, and the two are not close because of Yan Meng's temperament on weekdays, this sudden concern made him inexplicable, and he forgot what he thought for a while, and looked at Yan Meng with some suspicion.

"Why did the third sister say this?"

Yan Meng seemed to be frightened, shrunk his neck, and whispered: "I just saw that the third brother was in too much hurry, so I told the third brother...... If the road is uneven... I... I don't mean anything else..."

Yan Chuyi saw that Yan Mengdu was about to bury his head on the ground, he didn't like this kind of submissive temperament, and when he saw her like this again, he suddenly felt that it was a wrong decision to stop just now, wasting his time in vain. waved his hand and said directly: "Thank you Fifth Sister for reminding me, I still have something to do, and it is inconvenient to talk to you more." With that, he turned and strode away.

Seeing Yan Chuyi striding out, and after a while, his back became a small dot, Yan Meng raised his eyebrows lightly, and said in his heart: Then don't blame me for not reminding you. He said behind him, "Sixi, follow him." ”

Surprise flashed in Sixi's eyes, but he didn't raise any objections, and replied with a muffled nod: "Yes." And he followed.

Sixi is Yan Meng who just went to Yan Chunan's courtyard to "borrow", she was just in an irritable mood, thinking about going to Yan Chunan's study to find a few books to read, to pass the time, if he hadn't recognized him in Yan Chunan's courtyard, Yan Meng almost forgot that he still existed, so he left a note for Yan Chunan and brought him out.

Sixi looks like a little guy next to him, brown skin, a pair of eyeballs fall into the sockets of the eyes, a round nose with slightly thick lips, it looks like it sounds good is honest, and if it doesn't sound good, it is wooden. But it was him, the one who was crucial to finding out the real cause of Yan Chunan's death in her previous life.

Sixi and Liuxi have followed Yan Chunan since they were children, but Liuxi's temperament is more lively and temperamental, so Yan Chunan usually takes him with him. After Yan Chunan was kicked out of Yan's mansion in the previous life, there were only two people left, Sixi and Liuxi, who ran around trying to find Yan Chunan's former partner to avenge Yan Chunan, but at that time, what happened on Yan Chunan's back was a ruining style, and those who claimed to be gentlemen and others were eager to run away, where would they take the initiative to help? Even if there are a few real brothers, they are still constrained by the interests of the family, and it is inevitable that they can do their best to deal with this matter.

Suddenly, one day Liuxi disappeared, Sixi searched all over the place where Liuxi went and there was no trace, he knew that Xu is Liuxi's movement was too big to attract the attention of Zhao, and was disposed of, since then Sixi has been incognito waiting for the opportunity, since he knew that Yan Meng married to the Yue Wangfu, he went to the Yue Wangfu to do rough labor, the Yue Wangfu steward saw that he was hard-working and officially accepted him. has been working in the backyard of the Yue Wangfu in obscurity, until Yan Meng had doubts about the cause of Yan Chunan's death from Aunt Jiang, Sixi stood up and told her the truth of the year.

And when she chose to endure it, Sixi disappeared, from beginning to end Sixi recognized that the master was only Yan Chunan, although he was mediocre, but the word "loyal servant" was unmatched by him.

Xu is he was born with an unnoticeable face, and Sixi stays in the courtyard sullenly on weekdays, but it was only today that Yan Meng suddenly saw him and remembered the existence of this person. It was Yan Meng who brought him out, Yan Meng knew that Sixi was loyal to Yan Chunan, and he also knew the importance of Yan Meng to Yan Chunan, so he would definitely listen to her orders, and at the same time, Sixi's temperament would not talk about the master's instructions behind his back, and only do the master's explanation in a down-to-earth manner, which is why he was favored by the steward of the Yue Wangfu as a mediocre rough laborer, and made an exception to include him in the Yue Wangfu.

Looking at Sixi's distant back, the past will inevitably come to mind, Sixi is a person who can be used by her, Sixi is Yan Chunan's attendant, it is much more convenient to enter and exit Yan's mansion than her maid, not only that, Yan Chunan is naturally relieved to let Sixi follow Yan Meng, but also one thing that reassures Yan Meng is that even if Sixi follows her, the master of Sixi's heart is only Yan Chunan, which not only reassures her, but also reassures her.

In the evening, Sixi rushed back, and in the small study of Youlan Courtyard, he saw Yan Meng who was sitting at the desk practicing calligraphy.

"Back to the fifth young lady, the third young master went to a mansion on the outskirts of the city when he left the house, and the slave waited nearby for a long time without waiting for the third young master to come out, and when he saw that it was getting late, he came back first to return to the fifth young lady."

"Mansion?" There are a lot of mansions on the outskirts of the city, "Can you see the plaques clearly?" ”

"Miss Huiwu, it's like 'Lanfu'." Sixi has followed Yan Chunan since he was a child, and he is also literate.

Ranfu... It's not the Lan Mansion she remembers... Yan Meng frowned and asked, "Where is the direction?" How does it look? ”

Sixi pondered for a while, and replied: "The location is about ten miles west of the city... It is a white mansion renovated in the style of Gangnam. ”

Yes, except for Chengxi Lan Mansion, there is no such ordinary Lan Mansion, heh, Yan Chuyi is really a romantic and amorous character, and now he has not yet reached the crown, he has entered and exited this kind of place... Nalan Mansion is nominally a family on the outskirts of the city, but in private it is a place for prostitutes, different from Tianyu Pavilion, Lanfu is really doing the skin and meat business, but it is different from the ordinary hook bar in the market, Jiangnan is a beautiful person, Nalan Mansion is to screen the Jiangnan women with excellent appearance, since childhood, they have been locked in the attic to teach poetry and calligraphy talents, and the women who can go out of the pavilion can all afford the name of "peerless beauty", in addition to the excellent appearance, and the difference with ordinary prostitutes is the innate temperament of those beauties who live in the empty valley. This is also the reason why high-ranking officials in Beijing have lingered there.

I didn't expect Yan Chuyi to go in and out of this kind of place at such an age, Yan Meng smiled sarcastically and whispered: "It's really a 'merry boy'." "I don't know if the Zhao family knows about this? If the Zhao family knew, that face must be wonderful, Yan Meng thought with some evil taste, but he still looked light and breezy on that face.

Yan Meng was a little curious about the people behind the Lan Mansion, who could open such a unique Qinlou Chu Pavilion in the suburbs of Beijing, targeting the children of high-ranking officials and scholars, it was difficult not to think deeply about the meaning behind this.

"I see, you can go back." As soon as Yan Meng finished speaking, it happened that Yan Chunan came over.

"Did something happen to you?"

"It's just that there are some important things, my maids are all women, and when I happened to go to your study, Sixi ordered him to go, and there was nothing to do." Yan Meng replied disappreciatively.

"That's okay, in that case, if you have anything, just tell Sixi to go, I don't take him with me on weekdays, he's all at home."

"Got it."

Yan Meng looked at Yan Chunan, who was still staying in place, and looked up to see him looking at himself with some complexity, and his heart was shocked, did he see something? Some tentatively asked, "Is there anything else wrong with my brother?" ”

Yan Chunan's face was entangled, as if he had thought in his heart for a while, and said thoughtfully: "A-Yuan is afraid that he can't give it to you." ”

Yan Meng looked at Yan Chunan suddenly, his pupils shrunk, could it be that something happened? "What's wrong?"

Yan Chunan replied: "I was too anxious before, thinking of finding you a more martial maid to protect your safety, but I actually ignored that Ah Yuan was a bit of a problem. After a pause, he said, "I have arranged her by my side these days, and I want to take a look at her character, and if she is down-to-earth, I will bring it to you." Originally, I agreed... It's just that she's been acting a little weirdly since I took you to see her that day..."

Yan Chunan originally wanted to put it by his side to see more, but every time he wrote his homework, Ah Yuan always deliberately walked to his side, and he also lost some manuscripts these days, at first he thought about whether Ah Yuan had something that he shouldn't have, and then inadvertently found that Ah Yuan always disappeared for a period of time in the evening, so he asked Liuxi to follow Ah Yuan for a few days, but every time at that point in time, Liuxi would always lose Ah Yuan because of something, which had to make him suspicious.

Yan Chunan briefly told Yan Meng about this matter and then said, "Let's change someone, it's always a little uneasy." ”
