Chapter 158: Time Has Changed
Therefore, after Shangshu Xie Jianbai understood that there was another hidden story behind the burning of grain and grass, he had to jump out of the limitations of the current situation. And King Xiang was summoned into the palace by An Jun at this moment, which also made him even more faintly uneasy.
When the housekeeper went in to inform Xie Jian that the eldest grandson of Baixiang Wangfu had come to visit, he was quite surprised, but at first he thought that the eldest grandson Hong was just to come to Xie Yiyuan, and by the way, he visited his old man's house, but he didn't think about it elsewhere.
"Let him in." Xie Jianbai nodded, putting away his originally somewhat solemn and heavy expression, but the sorrow between his eyebrows still couldn't be relieved temporarily.
The housekeeper hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Master, there is not only the son of the world, but also a girl." β
"Girl? This is unusual. When Xie Jianbai heard this, he raised his head, his eyes were tired and bright, and he seemed to be very interested in this matter. After a while, Xie Jianbai waved his hand and said, "I want to see what kind of person the girl who can bring that kid is." Go ahead, let them in. β
"Yes, sir." The butler listened, and withdrew again.
Yu Ran and Changsun Hong waited outside Xie Jianbai's courtyard for a while, and then they saw the housekeeper come out with small but fast steps.
"Sir, please let you in." The butler bowed to the two of them and smiled.
Changsun Hong nodded, turned his head to look at Yu Ran again, and then directly reached out and took Yu Ran's wrist and walked in together.
Yuran opened his mouth, but in the end he couldn't say anything, so he followed Changsun Hong into the courtyard safely.
"Master Xie, I'm in." Changsun Hong knocked on the door, and after shouting again, he directly pushed the door and led Yuran inside.
Yuran is not used to being taken to walk, and there is only one person who dares to pull her away in the past. Yuran's brows were slightly deflated, but his voice was still clear: "Eldest Sun Hong, you let me go first." β
"Oh." Changsun Hong glanced back at Yu Ran, who was walking awkwardly, and still let go of his hand with some reluctance.
The two walked outside, only to see Xie Jianbai sitting at the table in the inner room.
"Master Xie, I've come to see you." As soon as Changsun Hong saw people, he waved his hand from afar, and his tone was very casual.
"You kid, I thought you only knew how to go out with Yiyuan, and you didn't know how to come and see the old man." Xie Jianbai raised his hand and pointed at Changsun Hong, and said with great vigour.
"Eh, look at you, don't say that, I'm not here? What is Yiyuan, Lord Xie, you are the backbone of the Xie family, I admire you so much! Changsun Hong's words were so smooth that even Yuran, who was standing behind Changsun Hong, couldn't help but chuckle.
It was Yu Ran's chuckle that made Xie Jianbai's eyes move away from Changsun Hong's body, and gradually looked at Yu Ran who was standing behind him.
It's okay not to look at this, but after taking a closer look at the woman's appearance, Xie Jianbai felt more and more that something was wrong from the bottom of his heart. Looking at it again, Xie Jianbai should remember no matter how old and confused he is, the woman's face is becoming clearer and clearer in his mind, and it seems to slowly coincide with her many years ago.
Xie Jianbai is now looking at this smiling woman, he seems to still remember the dignified princess who was still immature but talented six years ago.
"ι’ι‘Ό...... The eldest princess? Xie Jianbai's voice sounded a little trembling, and he slowly stood up with a little trembling, with a look of disbelief in his eyes.
How could he not be surprised that a person who had passed away with him when Ming Xu had died would still appear intact in front of him?
When Yu Ran heard this, her eyes suddenly softened, and the smile on the corner of her lips was just right, and her peerless appearance was very dazzling, and she said with a smile: "I can still make Shangshu recognize it at a glance, it seems that my appearance has not changed much." β
Xie Jianbai walked out from behind the table step by step, and slowly walked to Yu Ran, during which his gaze never took a moment off Yu Ran's face. He muttered to himself, and seemed to sigh something, and when he finally stopped in front of Yu Ran, he was already too excited to speak.
After a while, Xie Jianbai calmed down and nodded deeply at Yu Ran: "It's good to be alive, it's good to be alive......"
Xie Jianbai's eyes were a little sour and red, probably because he was suddenly too excited. Xie Jianbai was in his early forties when he went to Mingxu, and six years later, he was actually forty-seven, and this age is no longer young, it should be said that he has become more calm and composed. Xie Jianbai's sideburns also gave birth to white hair at some point, which seemed to show that the years were unforgiving.
After Yu Ran saw Xie Jianbai's attitude towards her, she also sighed in her heart. After all, this is the first person who is still nostalgic for her past!
What a great honor it is to have such a person firmly in my mind and not to be forgotten.
Yuran's smile was particularly indifferent, and she cleared her throat and said, "I didn't expect that after six years, Shangshu can still remember me, which is a great honor for me." β
"No, no, the princess is not right. When Ming Xu was still there, the name of the princess was known to everyone in the world, and she was a heroine among women. And the first person I Xie Jianbai admired was the princess six years ago, and the princess's talent made the old man ashamed. The name of the dyeing is something that I dare not forget in this life. Xie Jianbai shook his head, his eyes were a little mulberry, and his expression was full of memories and sighs of the past years.
Yu Ran and Xie Jianbai were talking the truth, but Changsun Hong was more and more confused when he heard it, and the two people in front of him didn't pay attention to him, which made him feel inexplicable for a while: How can Yu Ran and Old Man Xie still talk?
"Hey, I saidβwhat are you all talking about? What princess, what dye? Nanyu, you ...... "What the hell is going on?"
The last sentence of Changsun Hong didn't speak, but swallowed it back, because he really didn't know whether he should open his mouth or not.
To be honest, when Changsun Hong slowly recalled Xie Jianbai's words, he seemed to suddenly begin to understand something.
Xie Jianbai called Yuran a princess, and the first sentence seemed to be the eldest princess of Mingxu, and then said that he would never forget the name Zhuan Ran.
The titles of the eldest princess of Mingxu, Zhuan Zhan, and Yuran kept echoing in the mind of the eldest grandson, and he finally woke up all of a sudden, and then looked at Yuran as if he was frightened.
Yuran looked at Changsun Hong, who was frozen in place, and smiled slightly, she tilted her head, there seemed to be a faint light in her dark and translucent eyes, her expression looked unpredictable and clear, she didn't explain to Changsun Hong, but quickly turned around and looked at Xie Jianbai again, and continued to speak slowly: "Xie Shangshu, you have given me deep respect by remembering the name Zhuan Zhan, and I am very grateful to you." However, in the future, don't mention it in front of people. After all, the Ming Dynasty has fallen, and it shouldn't exist in this world. β
"This old man naturally understands, but how should the old man call the princess?" Xie Jianbai continued to ask.
Hearing this question, Yuran raised her eyebrows slightly, her smile was quite deep, and she paused a little more intentionally or unintentionally when she spoke. She pinched the folding fan in her right hand, waved it out of thin air intentionally or unintentionally, and then tapped her jaw with the tip of the fan, she tilted her head slightly, smiled and opened her lips and said, "En...... Is this a problem...... It's a bit difficult. β
"Dare to ask the princess, where does the difficulty come from?" Xie Jianbai's emotions have slowly calmed down.
"Speaking of which, I've had a pretty good past two years, and although the road is sometimes difficult, I'm still walking steadily." Yu Ran did not directly respond to Xie Jianbai's question, but seemed to be idle there. She moved two steps slightly, and only after saying a few words did she turn her head to look at Xie Jianbai, she stopped all her movements, and said unhurriedly: "Now, I have occupied a relatively important position in this world, and I have never sighed too much about the past. I don't use the name ι’ι‘Όζ, so you can call me Tamazen. I've been using this name since I was a child, and it's still a pretty important name for me, and it shouldn't sound bad, right? However, in this way, it is not wrong for Xie Shangshu to call me this princess. In the end, Yu Ran smiled and sighed.
Xie Jianbai is indeed right, even if Yu Ran is not the eldest princess of Mingxu, she is still the princess of Dingguo of Ningguo.
"Jade Dye ......" Xie Jianbai heard the words and read the name again. But maybe Xie Jianbai saw that this name was deliberately marked in the copy he received before, so he still remembers it vividly, so now it is only a moment after Xie Jianbai reacts. If the surprise and trembling he had just now was extremely rare on weekdays, then Xie Jianbai's expression could be said to be shocked like never before, his eyes stared straight at Yu Ran, the essence in his eyes seemed to engulf Yu Ran, the complexity and shock in his heart poured out at this moment, his voice sounded complicated and with an uncontrollable tremor, and he said intermittently: "Yu Ran...... Jade dyeing ...... You are now Helian Yu, the regent of the Ning Kingdom! β
I am afraid that the identity of Helian Yu occupies a pivotal position in this world is known to anyone who cares, and what shocked Xie Jianbai even more was that the eldest princess who should have passed away with history has now become the most noble Helian Yu in Ning Kingdom.
All of this was not in Xie Jianbai's consideration. He didn't expect that there would be such a big unexpected "surprise" in front of him before the Chinese New Year.
