"What are the plans of the imperial brother?" asked Nan Lingyu.

"Give the title of the first salt merchant to win, and give Lin Wuxi the title of the knight. Nan Lingye said in a deep voice.

As soon as the words came out, Nan Lingyu was shocked, "Brother Huang, this gentleman's position ......"

The position of the Northern Chu Shijue is a higher official position, and it is generally only awarded to nobles who have made great contributions, but An Ran's current status is just a salt merchant, and he is named a Shijue, I am afraid that it will cause criticism.

"In the disaster in the west, if there is no An Ran, how many people will die?

Nan Lingyu nodded slowly and didn't say anything more.

The imperial brother had already made up his mind in his heart, and it was useless for him to say more. What's more, An Ran has indeed made great contributions, otherwise the west is only afraid that the people will not be able to make a living.

"I'll leave this matter to you. Also, after the seal is given, I will let Ah Ran enter the palace, if you dare to attack her again, don't blame me for not thinking about brotherhood. Nan Lingye looked at Nan Lingyu, and his eyes were extremely sharp and warned him.

"Brother Huang, I understand what you mean. As long as it doesn't affect the rivers and mountains of Northern Chu, everything is fine. To be honest, I admire An Ran, a girl can establish a winning brand in a short period of time, and this kind of courage is incomparable to many men. Nan Lingyu said.

Looking at Nan Lingyu, Nan Lingye began to say: "Let's go down first, the sooner the better." ”

After Nan Lingyu left, Nan Lingye got up indifferently, stood in front of the window, looking into the distance, his eyes were deep, remembering An Ran, and there was a gentle light in his blue eyes.

On the third day, a holy decree came directly to the general shop of Yingzihao, giving Yinghao the title of the first salt merchant, sealing the title of Lin Wuxi, the owner of Yinghao, and allowing him to enter and leave the Chu Palace freely.

The holy decree was announced to the world, and people knew that the owner of the winning brand was not Leng Zhen, but Lin Wuxi, and everyone was very curious about this person.

Shangguan Jing received the news and came to the courtyard where An Ran lived as soon as possible.

"Brother is here, and Ah Ran is still trying to find you. An Ran saw Shangguan Jing come in and beckoned him to sit in the side hall.

After the maidservant served the tea, An Ran asked everyone to go down, "Brother, try this new tea and see if it suits your taste." ”

Shangguan Jing didn't drink tea, looked at An Ran and asked with concern, "Ah Ran, what's going on with the holy decree?"

An Ran took a sip of tea, slowly put down the cup, and responded calmly: "Didn't the holy decree make it very clear?"

"Emperor Chu knows your identity, and even gave you the title of knight. Shangguan Jing was completely confused about all this. The imperial court gave him the title of the first salt merchant in Yingzihao, and he could immediately, after all, without the help of Yingzihao, the salt shortage in the west would definitely not be solved.

"This matter, I was going to explain it to my brother two days ago, but there has been a delay in things, but I didn't expect my brother to come over first today. An Ran said with a smile.

"Then Ah Ran will tell me about it now, what is going on, and it will also solve the doubts in my heart. ”

An Ran probably told Shangguan Jing about the matter, including Nan Lingye's temporary amnesia and forgetting her and what she remembered later.

Hearing this, Shangguan Jing finally understood, it turned out to be the case, no wonder Emperor Chu would issue such a holy decree.

"So, you've met?" Shangguan Jing guessed.

"Well, three days ago, he went out of the palace to find me, and that's what happened later. An Ran smiled.

Shangguan Jing picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, put it down and said: "I really want to meet this Emperor Chu, what kind of man is it, to be honest, I am really a little curious about him, what can make Ah Ran so infatuated must be extraordinary." ”

An Ran couldn't help but smile and said, "Hasn't my brother seen it a long time ago?"

Hearing this, Shangguan Jing raised his eyebrows and looked puzzled, "How can An Ran say this?"

He had seen Nan Lingye, what kind of time was this, how could he not know about it?

"My brother still calls him a brother and a brother, and I hate to see him late. An Ran teased.

Hearing this, Shangguan Jing was even more confused, twisted his eyebrows and tried to think, he and Nan Lingye are brothers, and they hate to see each other late?

Suddenly, as if thinking of something, Shangguan Jing's eyes widened, it was rumored that Emperor Chu Nan Ling Ye had a pair of stunning blue eyes, he was extremely handsome, and he was the most beautiful man in the world.

Don't......

"Ah Ran, you mean......" Shangguan Jing looked at An Ran in disbelief.

"It seems that my brother has already guessed it. An Ran nodded and said.

Shangguan Jing looked suddenly enlightened, he patted his thigh, and said, "It turns out that Ling Ye is Nan Ling Ye, this is really ......"

Shangguan Jing was a little crying and laughing, but now that he thinks about it, many strange things before can make sense.

No wonder why An Ran targeted him everywhere in the first place, every time he saw Ling Ye, he looked cold, it turned out that he was Nan Ling Ye.

"Ah Ran is so bitter for me to hide it. ”

An Ran looked at Shangguan Jing with some apologies, and said apologetically: "Brother, Ah Ran is very sorry, I didn't mean to hide it from you, but the various circumstances at that time made me have to do this, and I ask my brother to understand Ah Ran's unavoidable hardship." ”

Hiding it from Shangguan Jing at the beginning was really a good idea. But she had no choice but to do so. At that time, if Shangguan Jing had been told that Ling Ye was Nan Lingye, wouldn't she have even exposed her identity, and she would not only be implicated in her life at that time.

It wasn't until later that Shangguan Jing knew An Ran's identity, but she still didn't tell him Nan Lingye's identity, because she felt that this matter had developed to this point, and it was nothing to say it or not, not to mention that if Shangguan Jing knew Nan Lingye's identity, it would not be good for Shangguan's family.

Shangguan Jing waved his hand, "Ah Ran, don't say that, I can fully understand your thoughts, you are right to do this, if it were me, I would definitely do the same, so Ah Ran doesn't need to feel guilty." ”

Hearing Shangguan Jing's words, An Ran felt very heartwarming, he was always so tolerant of her, and put himself in her shoes everywhere.

"Thank you, brother. An Ran said sincerely.

"Seeing that Ah Ran has today's achievements and life, my brother is also happy for you. Shangguan Jing looked at An Ran with a smile.

The two looked at each other and smiled, and everything was silent.

"Okay, I still have some things, I have to leave first, and I'll come to Ah Ran to go horseback riding in the suburbs another day. Shangguan Jing stood up and said.

"Okay, when my brother is done, send someone to inform you, and Ah Ran will come to look for you. An Ran sent Shangguan Jing to the door.

"That's very good, if you can, ask Nan Lingye out, and the three of us will ride our horses and gallop once. Shangguan Jing proposed.

"Everything is up to my brother's arrangement. ”
