Chapter 172: A Fragment of Déjà Vu
Hearing Shangguan Jing's words, Leng Zhen also relaxed a little, it seems that this matter was told to him by the eldest lady, since the eldest lady chose to believe him, then he should also go to Shangguan Jing, not to mention, he also felt that Shangguan Jing was a reliable person.
"Don't misunderstand, Shangguan Gongzi, I don't mean anything else, the eldest lady believes in you, what reason do I have not to trust you. Leng Zhen laughed.
"I'm very happy to have such trust from both of you. Shangguan Jing said heartily.
"Brother, don't say such kind words between us, it's too foreign. An Ran said.
Shangguan Jing nodded with a smile, "Ah Ran is right, it's for my brother." It's not too early, I'll go back first, and I'll come back to see you when I have time. After speaking, Shangguan Jing got up and prepared to leave.
"I'll send you out. An Ran got up and wanted to send one to Shangguanjing.
Shangguan Jing held a folding fan in his hand, and the appearance of Yushu facing the wind said: "This is back to Ah Ran." ”
An Ran lowered his head and smiled, and said, "Since that's the case, then Ah Ran won't send you." ”
Shangguan Jing nodded and went out by himself.
After Shangguan Jing left, Leng Zhen asked, "Miss, when did you tell Shangguan Gongzi about this?
They have been hiding it for so long, and what they have been most afraid of is that someone will find out An Ran's identity, and he feels that if it weren't for some unexpected special circumstances, An Ran would not have taken the initiative to tell Shangguan Jing.
"I just said it today. An Ran probably told Leng Zhen about the accident on horseback, and touched Xiaobai's soft hair as he spoke.
Leng Zhen knew that something must have happened, and An Ran had no way to say it.
"Fortunately, Shangguan Jing should be a reliable person, if it is replaced by someone else, I am afraid it will be annoying. Leng Zhen said happily.
"Don't worry, I believe in Shangguan Jing. By the way, Uncle Leng, did you come to me for something?" An Ran asked.
"yes, I almost forgot about business. Leng Zhen knocked his head and continued: "The government sent someone to say that it was the newly appointed governor of the capital and wanted to go to our salt mine to have a look. ”
"Who is Zhizhou?" asked An Ran with a slight frown.
"Zhang Hengyuan. ”
Hearing this, An Ran raised his eyebrows, and then a contemptuous smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, Zhang Hengyuan, he is a timid and fearful corrupt official, not only greedy for money, but also lustful, I heard that he once forced the daughter of a farmer to death.
"Miss, what do you think we should do?" Leng Zhen asked.
"I just made an excuse and pushed it. An Ran said that she was too lazy to deal with Zhang Hengyuan.
Leng Zhen shook his head and replied: "I can't push it, I've used several excuses to push it back, but he insists on going to see it, and he still puts on his so-called official authority of Zhizhou." ”
Although Leng Zhen also hates such a fox and fake tiger person, no matter what, Zhang Hengyuan is also an official, and he says that he has two official words, and it is not good for him to be too ruthless.
"If you can't push it, you don't need to pay attention to it, if someone comes, just ask it out. An Ranyun said lightly.
"Is that good?" Leng Zhen hesitated.
"What's wrong? It's not what it used to be, a little Zhizhou, and trying to threaten me? What a joke. An Ran snorted coldly.
Zhang Hengyuan put it bluntly, he just wanted to take the opportunity to make some cheap, and the inspection of the mine was just an excuse.
"Okay, I'll refuse according to your wishes, and forgive him for not daring to say anything. "Leng Zhen also doesn't like such people.
"In addition, go to the prefect's office to say hello first to prevent Zhang Hengyuan from making trouble. An Ran explained.
"I know what to do. It's not too early, so let's rest early. Leng Zhen got up, said a few words to An Ran, and then went back.
After Leng Zhen left, An Ran sat in the courtyard for a while, and then went into the room, Xiaobai followed her in, and lay down tamely next to the chaise longue and pretended to sleep.
An Ran sat at the table, her brows were a little narrow, her eyes were misty, today's events were out of her expectations, but An Ran felt a lot more relaxed, for such a long time, she was like wearing a mask and getting along with Shangguan Jing, and today is considered to be let go.
Thinking of Shangguan Jing mentioning Nan Lingye, now he doesn't know that Ling Ye is Nan Lingye, if in the future, he knows that Ling Ye, who has always been commensurate with his brother, turned out to be Emperor Chu, he may be even more surprised than when he knew that she was Miss An Jia.
Thinking of this, An Ran couldn't help but smile. Speaking of Nan Lingye, it seems that he hasn't seen him in any time.
A few times I went out with Shangguan Jing, and Shangguan Jing sent someone to make an appointment, but Nan Lingye said that he had no time and couldn't go to the appointment.
It seems that the state affairs are busy.
An Ran shook his head and told himself not to think about Nan Lingye.
Chu Palace
After Nan Ling Ye went down, he wanted to walk by himself when he had nothing to do, but for some reason, he actually walked to the cold palace in Beiyuan, where An Ran once lived.
I wanted to turn back, but my footsteps didn't listen to the call and walked in.
When the palace people inside saw Nan Lingye, they were shocked and hurriedly bowed. Nan Lingye asked people to stay outside and not to come in, he walked in alone.
When I came to the dormitory, the appearance of this room had hardly changed, and it was still the same as when An Ran was there.
Involuntarily, Nan Lingye remembered the bits and pieces of An Ran's being here that day, and when he had secretly come to see her.
The cold thin lips involuntarily rose slightly, Nan Lingye sat on the bed, and his hand couldn't help but caress the pillow quilt, as if An Ran's temperature and breath were still on the pillow quilt.
Suddenly, as if he had been electrocuted, Nan Lingye withdrew his hand, and his blue eyes suddenly became even colder.
How could this be? How could he suddenly think of An Ran, obviously he hated her in his heart, a Sheng girl, why would he think about it.
During this time, for some reason, there will always be a lot of strange pictures in my mind, déjà vu, it is a very sweet and warm picture, but the woman in the picture he can't see her clearly, every time he wants to try to see clearly, but every time he thinks hard, he will feel a headache.
These are all staccato fragments, some clear and some vague, and he can't even say clearly.
The more time passed, the stronger his desire to see An Ran became, but she was gone, how many people he mobilized to find her traces, but she still didn't find her, and even he asked people to go to Dasheng Kingdom to inquire about An Ran's whereabouts, but there was still no news, she was like a message out of thin air.
