If Zhao Yun's ability is concerned, Guan Zhang and the others are naturally convinced, even Ou Yejian, and the iron-smelting technology is difficult to beat in this world, but the lord praises Xu Shu with a milky smell so much, how can the two of them be convinced?

But Liu Lan didn't notice the changing expressions of Guan and Zhang, and continued to introduce Xu Huang and Tianchou to Zhao Yun and Zhang Jaw.

After some introduction, everyone drank again, and the wine was not dispersed until it was full.

Liu Lan, who was a little drunk, returned to the room and had not yet gone to bed, so he heard Zhen Yan calling the door outside, and said with three points of drunkenness: "Come in." ”

As soon as he entered the door, Zhen Yan shouted, "Brother-in-law." ”

Slightly stunned, Liu Lan looked him up and down, and said with doubts: "Why did Yan'er change her name today?" ”

"Don't you like it?"

"That's not ......"

Before she finished speaking, Zhen Yan had already laughed: "Yesterday, my brother sent a letter saying that my mother had agreed to the marriage of my lord and my sister, and now I am waiting for my lord to be hired, but I don't know when my lord will go to Zhongshan to be hired?" ”

"Who do you think is the right person to go?" Liu Lan was a little incredulous, but he also understood that Zhen Yan would never dare to talk nonsense about marriage, so he asked him for advice, this ancient marriage is not like those costume dramas, like the last time he recklessly went to Zhen's mansion, didn't he almost mess up the marriage, eat a trench and grow wise, since the new son-in-law can't do this matter, then ask Zhen Yan if there is a suitable candidate.

"How is Mr. Jane?" Zhen Yan suggested.

It is indeed a bit overkill, but when you think about it, it seems that only he is the most suitable, Liu Lan nodded in agreement, and said, "I can only let Xian He go once." As he spoke, he stood up and said, "Go." Come with me to see Xianhe. "If Liu Lan was really worried about the dowry before, although he controlled Liaodong, no matter how he searched for the people's fat and people's ointment, he couldn't find 10,000 taels of gold, but now Yuan Shao has relieved him, otherwise he is worried about how to prepare this 10,000 taels of gold instead of going to Jian Yong to talk to the matchmaker.

The two came out of the house. After knocking on the door, Jian Yong let the two of them into the house, and after sitting down, he saw him reclining and said, "But why did the lord and Brother Zhen Xian come?" As soon as the words fell, I saw Liu Lan placing a lifelike jade horse on the low machine, the verdant jade color became more and more transparent under the oil lamp, and it was a rare high-quality jade. With a neat face, it is no longer the lazy sitting posture before, and it is sitting upright. Said: "What does this mean, lord? As the saying goes, if you don't have merit, is it a tricky thing to bring such a treasure? As if thinking of something, there was a look of displeasure on his face: "If the lord really encounters something tricky and needs Xianhe to do, just give an order, this jade horse Xianhe will never dare to accept it." ”

Xianhe thought about it a lot. With the friendship between you and me, although it is the master and servant, it is really a friendship for many years, if it is really useful to the place of constitutional peace. I won't come with a gift, I'll give it a command. ”

But the lord suddenly came with it. If you just want to send this thing to Yong, then you don't have to run it yourself, right? ”

Jian Yong didn't believe Liu Lan's words, and pointed out the key point: "As the so-called 'courtesy and people, there must be something to ask for', and it is such a generous courtesy, I think it is not a trivial matter. And it's a very tricky thing, yes and no. ”

"But there is one thing that is annoying, but it is not a difficult thing, and it is not a difficult thing."

Liu Lan looked at Jian Yong with anticipation on his face and said, "But this matter may be difficult for others, but for Xianhe." But it's also very simple. ”

"What the hell is going on?" Jian Yong was even more curious in his heart, and his appetite was fully adjusted.

"Go to the Zhen family to give a dowry. And this jade horse is a gift to Xianhe to be the media. ”

"That's it?"

"Yes, that's it!"

"Haha!"

Jian Yong looked at Liu Lan with a smile and said, "What should I do, it turned out to be such a good thing." Picked up the jade horse and played with it carefully for a long time, and sighed: "It's really a good object, if it's his business, this jade horse Xianhe can't accept it, but this matter, I will be disrespectful." ”

"Good, good. As long as Kenwa agrees to this, it's fine. Suddenly, seeing Jian Yong stretching out his right hand, and thinking that Jian Yong still wanted benefits, Liu Lan couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "Xianhe, I don't have any treasures anymore." ”

Seeing him pretending to be stupid, Jian Yong shook his head helplessly and said, "What do you think, I want the ornament on the lord's body!" ”

"What do I have on me? As long as I have it, Xianhe can do anything. ”

"Could it be that Xianhe is a greedy man for money?" Jian Yong saw that he had misunderstood himself, and explained: "What I said is not gold or silver, but a strand of the lord's hair. ”

"Hair? Yes, yes, it has to be hair. ”

Liu Lan suddenly realized that at this time it was ancient times, and marriage was to be in accordance with the weekly rites, and the newlyweds had to give each other hair before marriage, which is also the so-called 'hair couple'.

After thinking about this in his heart, he heard Jian Yong say: "It's just that this dowry gift needs to be escorted by a general, otherwise if you encounter an accident on the road......

"Kenwa is right." Liu Lan pondered for a moment, suddenly thought of someone, and said, "I can only trouble Zilong to go again." He thought about it for a moment and felt that it was not very safe, and then said, "And Yide." ”

After speaking, he turned to Jian Yong and said: "Today is the Lantern Festival, Xianhe will prepare first, and then set off for Zhongshan after today." ”

"No."

After saying that, the two laughed heartily, Liu Lan immediately said goodbye and left, and came out of the room, but heard Liu Lan say to Zhen Yan: "Do you have any thoughts of going home to see?" ”

"This ......"

Liu Lan waved his hand and said, "What to hesitate about, just say what you want!" ”

Zhen Yan thought that Liu Lan was going to send himself back, but he looked at him with begging eyes and said, "I won't go back!" ”

Knowing that he misunderstood what he meant, Liu Lan didn't explain, and said to himself: "It's been more than half a year since you came out, so it's actually good to go home and have a look." Suddenly, he said, "If your sister knows that I sent someone to give you a dowry, but she left you behind, she will definitely blame me at that time." ”

It turned out to be this meaning, and Zhen Yan, who was relieved in his heart, suddenly looked at him with a chatter and asked in a low voice: "Lord, my eldest sister can't really be a, right?" ”

"No, no, how could you think that. I just respect your sister. ”

Liu Lan looked into the distance and muttered: "Your sister suffered a lot for me at the beginning, if I don't think about her or don't respect her, how can I be right for her affection." ”

"I'm so happy for my sister."

Zhen Yan was speechless for a while, and he had heard about the two of them, and they met each other. Knowing each other and loving each other, I was envious, thinking that I was lucky enough to meet such a good fate, and I would definitely treat her like a lord.

~~~~~~~~~~

Zhao Yun, who had been in the dust all the way, heard Liu Lan call the door just after bathing and changing clothes, and opened the door to salute, but he was already helped up by Liu Lan, only to hear him say: "Zilong has worked hard all the way, because he should have had a good rest, but he doesn't want me to come to trouble me again." ”

Zhao Yun gave up his seat for Liu Lan and Zhen Yan and listened to him politely. Busy said: "It's okay, it's okay." He poured tea for the two of them and asked, "I don't know what the lord is talking about?" ”

Liu Lan didn't answer him, just took a sip of fragrant tea, and praised it: "Good tea." He drinks tea on weekdays is a vassal elegance, and he can't drink it well or badly, but at this time he just said it casually, but he didn't want to see Zhao Yun frowning and embarrassed and said, "Is this tea really good tea?" Zilong is not proficient in tea. As long as there are some colors, it will do. ”

"Haha."

Liu Lan smiled loudly and said, "Zilong is too humble. The conversation suddenly changed and pulled out the theme of the trip. said: "I wonder if Zilong has any thoughts of going back to his hometown to see?" ”

"The lord doesn't know if you can allow Zilong to say something in your heart?"

"Zilong, I have already said that I am like a brother to your eldest brother, you are like my younger brother in my eyes, and there is no outsider at this time, you can call me brother."

"This ......"

"Zhen Yan is his own person. Don't be too taboo. ”

"Lord, Xiang Yu once said: 'Wealth and nobility do not return to their hometown, such as clothes and brocade at night, who knows!' The previous cloud had returned home in embarrassment, and now the official is not visible. It's not famous, so ......"

It turns out that Zhao Yun wants to return to his hometown? Liu Lan nodded, appreciated, and said: "Zilong has good ambitions, although so, I still have to bother Zilong for a trip!" ”

Zhao Yun agreed and said, "My lord, but if you need it, just give your orders." ”

"I said that I called my brother."

Liu Lan looked at Zhao Yun and said, "Zilong still remembers that person in Zhongshan?" ”

Zhao Yun subconsciously replied: "The lord is talking about the master's mother?" ”

"Yes, yes, that is, Zhen Yan's sister. Mrs. Zhen has already agreed to the marriage of the two of us, and I wanted to make Xianhe go to the next appointment, but I was afraid that the road would not be quiet, so I came to let Zilong go in person to protect my safety. ”

"Okay."

Zhao Yun agreed, and then congratulated: "Zilong is happy for justice for the Lord here." ”

"Rejoice, rejoice."

Suddenly thinking of something, Liu Lan continued: "I went to Zhending last time, and I was fortunate to meet Ling Mei, Zilong went to Zhongshan this time, why don't you take Ling Mei to live with you?" ”

"Lord, I'm afraid this is ......" Zhao Yun looked at Liu Lan with some embarrassment.

"What I'm afraid of is not afraid, you leave your sister at home alone, you are at ease, I am not at ease, just at this time to be free, you will pick him up, if you are inconvenient to go to Zhending, you will send someone to call him to Zhongshan, and then come to the plains together."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After dinner, a group of people went to the street to watch the lanterns, this is the first time he has spent a Lantern Festival in ancient times for so many years, and it is natural to have a good look at how lively the ancient Lantern Festival is. Out of the back office, came to Xiangping small market, a door into the market only to see the market crowded, everyone holds a lantern in their hands, together with the lantern hanging on the eaves, there are many kinds of lanterns, zodiac lights, lotus lanterns, colorful phoenix lanterns, two dragons play with pearl lanterns, it can be described as vivid, people are full of praise.

Everyone was holding lanterns in their hands, but after a while, they were bored, especially Zhang Sange had already been clamoring to go back to drink, although the people around him were laughing and laughing, but Liu Lan, who looked at everyone, found that no one was interested in enjoying the lanterns, but when Zhang Fei proposed to go back to drink, everyone was stunned, and they all cast expectant eyes.

Seeing that they all had this intention, Liu Lan, who had long been bored, naturally agreed.

Today's Lantern Festival is too boring, but the most regrettable thing is that there is no lantern riddle at this time......

Returning is crowded again, and returning at this time is much more difficult than when you come, after all, the people are moving forward, and they are rushing back, this back and forth is not only crowded, but wastes a lot of time.

It was like climbing a mountain, after a lot of hardships, he finally returned to the mansion, and the few small servants had been sent home by him for reunion, so he had to tell Liu An to get some cooked meat casually, and everyone began to drink again.

The meat is just some mutton, just after it was served, Liu Lan saw Zhang Fei eating it as if he was gluttonous, shaking his head slightly, it is not interesting to just eat wine and drink meat like this, it is better to have an idea: "Today is the Lantern Festival, if we want to drink, why not guess the lantern riddle and toast it!" ”

"Lantern riddles?" The crowd looked at him in bewilderment.

"That's right, guess the lantern riddle."

Knowing that everyone didn't understand what the lantern riddle was, Liu Lan patiently explained: "It's that I'll wait for one person to come up with a riddle, if someone can guess it, then you can drink a drink, if no one guesses, then the person who asked the question will drink a cup by yourself, what do you think?" ”

Although everyone was puzzled in their hearts, when they saw that the lord had this Yaxing, they said one by one, "It is all according to the lord's orders."

"Okay, since the brothers said so, then I'll start with a question."

Liu Lan pondered again and again, and suddenly said: "My riddle is to guess a word, and the riddle is: 'Chinese New Year's Eve the last year and spring...... (To be continued.) )
