Zhang Fei looked at Liu Lan with a curious look on his face, who turned his face faster than turning a book, and saw that the lord at this time had a happy face, and Lang walked over to Cui Yan with a smile, how could he still have the appearance of his rival who was blushing when he met before, I saw him smile as he walked: "Brother Ji Jue, I didn't expect to meet again in Peixian County since I said goodbye to the plains, it was really a chance, it was really a chance." ”

Cui Yan listened to the voice, looked at Liu Lan, only felt very familiar, searched his mind, and suddenly a figure appeared, matching the person in front of him, slightly stunned, smiled and arched his hand, and said: "Deran Gong, how can you be here?" ”

Liu Lan explained with a smile and said, "There are some bandits here today, so Liu came here." As he spoke, he beckoned everyone to get acquainted with Cui Yan, and everyone got acquainted with him, only to hear Cui Yan ask: "Why is Liu Yuanjun not in Liaodong or the plains, but in charge of Xiaopei's bandits?" ”

Liu Lan said with a smile: "Brother Ji Qi doesn't know, Liu has been recommended by Xuzhou Mu as Yuzhou Mu, and now he is temporarily taking the post of Minister of Peiguo." Cui Yan's face was pale, but he was also sincerely happy for him: "The younger brother has been studying with the teacher all these years, and he doesn't know much about these things, but I didn't expect Deran Gong to be promoted again." ”

Liu Lan laughed and whispered to Cui Yan: "The last time we met, I was promoted to Liaodong Taishou from Xiangping, but this time I met and became Yuzhou Mu, it seems that Ji Qi is really my lucky star." If a lucky star like Ji Jue stays to help me, I can't see a few years, don't say it's the remnants of the Yellow Turban, it's the remnants of the Dong thief, and it's not a problem. "Liu Lan's words were originally a pun, one is to catch up with Cui Yan, and the other is to throw an olive branch to Cui Yan, and after some exchanges back then, I naturally understood that Cui Yan was a 'royalist'. So if you like it, it depends on whether he can accept it or not.

Cui Yan didn't know if he really understood Liu Lan's solicitation. is still pretending, and said with a smile: "Deran has won the award." But I believe it will happen one day. ”

Liu Lan was stunned, seeing that he neither said yes nor said no, he only smiled helplessly: "Yes, yes, one day it will definitely be realized." ”

After some small talk, I only heard Cui Yan say: "Can De Ran Gong take a step to speak?" ”

Liu Lan was stunned, watched Cui Yan take a few steps towards the village road, and followed. came to his side and asked: "Ji Jue, in this world, some people meet in Pingshui; He didn't see him at the end of the year, but some of them were coincidental, and finally became close friends, you and I can meet twice, this is fate, so call me Shengderan. As for the 'male' behind this, I think it's better to be exempt. ”

Cui Yan was surprised, looked at Liu Lan, and then said: "Deran is open-minded and informal. Ji Jue admired. He bowed to the end and said, "Forgive Yan Yijie cloth, how can you be so loved by Deran." ”

Liu Lan didn't expect that just changing 'Deran Gong' to Deran would make him so excited. As if the relationship between the two was one step closer, he said with a smile: "Ji Jue is wrong." Since ancient times, talented men and wise men have been proud of their lords; But no one is proud of the talents, I know Ji Jue's talent. If Ji Qi really wants to be a leader, what state in the world is not waiting for him, let alone me Liu Lan. ”

Liu Lan looked at him eagerly, which made Cui Yan feel very ashamed while being moved, and said: "It's a pity that Yan is not a talented man, but an ordinary man, who can't escape the mundane things of love and hatred, and the selfishness of men and women." ”

Liu Lan was stunned, and estimated that Cui Yan was vaguely mentioning Gan Qian, after all, when he hugged Gan Qian before, Cui Yan saw it, but he knew in his heart that Cui Yan and Gan Qian had nothing to do with it, since it was not to break them up, there was naturally no need to explain to him, but he was relieved: "Ji Qi is wrong, there are both men and women in the private world, let alone laymen or saints, just like the small people of Qianshou need food, clothing, shelter and transportation, and saints and gentlemen also need food, clothing, housing and transportation, so how can the happiness of men and women vary from person to person?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Liu Lan regretted a little, how did he feel as if he was encouraging him to pursue happiness, and immediately changed his words, saying: "The so-called things of men and women have been the orders of parents since ancient times, the words of matchmakers, and they are ......" said here but he was short of words for a while, and after thinking for a while, he smiled again: "Sometimes the things of men and women are to be happy with each other, some people see each other all day long and have no result, but some people fall in love at first sight, and finally stay together for life." ”

Cui Yan changed color slightly, let out a long breath, and sighed: "What De Ran said is really three points, Ji Qi has been taught." ”

Liu Lan understood his thoughts, knew his hardships, and said softly: "It's yours after all, it's useless if it's not your forcible request, why is the big husband without a wife, why should Ji Qi be so infatuated with Gan Qian?" ”

Who thought that as soon as Liu Lan's words came out, he saw Cui Yan's color change slightly, and he said hurriedly: "Deran's words must not be nonsense, it will damage Qianmei's reputation." Sighed and said: "Qianmei's parents died at the hands of the Yellow Turban Thief, at that time Yan happened to meet her, often funded, although she had some feelings for him in her heart, but she only treated me as a brother......" said here was actually pondered, and only sighed for a while and said: "King Xiang has a dream, and the goddess is ruthless." After that, he shook his head with some pain in his heart.

Liu Lan was speechless for a while, not knowing what to say, but he heard Cui Yan solemnly say: "I saw her ...... with Deran just now" said here but was silent, and then squeezed out a trace of an ugly smile and said: "In the future, I should study the classics of the sages diligently with my teacher, and I hope that Deran will treat her well." There was a trace of frustration in his heart, and his expression was even more painful.

But just when Liu Lan was about to persuade him, he saw him smile and said: "Deran, I know that Qianmei has chosen you, I know her, she never pretends to any man, but she doesn't treat you." ”

"I've always appeared in front of him as a brother, and he has always regarded me as his brother, I thought this was love." Cui Yan muttered as if she was babbling, "I didn't understand until just now that there is only brother and sister love between me and her, because I saw the expression of her feelings for you from her expression towards you." ”

"What?" Liu Lan looked at him in disbelief, do you see it? How can I not see when I am so close?

Cui Yan said: "Since she has always regarded me as an elder brother, then I will continue to appear as an elder brother, as long as he is happy, happy, and happy in the future." ”

Liu Lan seemed to hear a hint of mystery from it, and hurriedly asked, "She doesn't know that you like her?" ”

Cui Yan shook his head, but suddenly smiled: "I don't know, maybe she felt it, maybe she didn't feel it, but no matter what, I bless you." ”

"Then why don't you tell her, maybe you say it......"

Cui Yan shook his head and said, "How can you talk about the affairs of men and women." ”

You stupid fork, you two hundred and nine, if you had told Gan Qian that you liked her, you might not be able to cheapen Lao Tzu. Liu Lan scolded in his heart, and he didn't know whether he felt sorry for Cui Yan or was glad for himself, maybe his advantage was that compared to these more subtle ancients, he could boldly express his emotions to the other party.

Cui Yan suddenly said solemnly: "Deran, Yan has something to ask for, and I hope you must agree." ”

Liu Lan looked at him suspiciously, not knowing what he was asking him to do, and couldn't help but wonder in his heart: "I don't know what happened to Ji Qi?" As long as I can help, I will do my best. ”

Cui Yan walked up to Liu Lan and said in a low voice: "I hope Deran will never mention you and me to her......

"What's mentioned?"

Liu Lanfang was about to blurt out, but he was shocked, nodded, and said solemnly: "I will, she will never hear the slightest ...... from my mouth about Ji Jue's affection for her."

Before he finished speaking, Cui Yan grabbed Liu Lan's hand as if grateful, used all his strength, and said excitedly: "Thank you, thank you for hiding it for me." ”

Liu Lan shook his head, looking at this man who loved Gan Qian in his heart, but didn't dare to show his affection to her, his heart was sour and uncomfortable for a while.

I only heard Cui Yan continue: "Tell her for me, I won't go in." ”

"You're leaving?"

"It's not early, I should go back."

"Where does Ji Jue live, I'll visit my brother another day, and visit Lingshi by the way."

"Follow the stream outside the village to the south, and you can go to the place where the family teacher settles." After speaking, Cui Yan said goodbye to Liu Lan and walked along the avenue to the outside of the village. (To be continued.) )
