Chapter 72 │ The Old Man

As soon as Jiang Qingluo turned around, she saw that on the eaves of the Guanlan Pavilion, under the silent night after the brilliant fireworks, a strong red dress fell on it, and then fell in front of her.

Jiang Qingluo saw that it was a ghost bracelet, so he smiled and said, "I haven't seen you for a long time, how is the Dark Wei Ting, is it fun?" ”

"It's okay, that's it," the bracelet came over and said, "Today's Chinese New Year's Eve, Ouyang Yunshu returned to the villa for the New Year, Feng Chengyu said that he also wanted to go back to see his home, and I also wanted to go back to see Master." ”

"Okay." Jiang Qingluo looked at the bracelet and his eyebrows were cold, and his red clothes were even more evil, and he casually folded a red plum blossom and inserted it in the hair of the bracelet, which was also regarded as a cold and gentle touch in this cold and frozen room.

In the cold wind, the wind and snow had stopped, and in the middle of the night, Jiang Mo Ran stepped out of the palace, but walked to the street.

"Your Royal Highness, it's so late, you don't go back to the prince's mansion and don't live in the palace, are you going to ......" The attendant Zheshuang asked suspiciously, Jiang Moran lightly picked his thin lips and said: "At this time, the excitement in the palace is over, the folk fireworks are still there, almost no one sleeps, go to Xilin Street, where it is lively." ”

Boisterous?

Frost pinched his ears, he heard it right, His Royal Highness King Zhao, who has never liked many people, actually took the initiative to go to a lively place? This is a once-in-a-century novelty......

Xilin Street, separated from Changling Street by only one street, next door is the Royal Street leading to the main gate of Jinxiao City, through the Royal Street, is the usual lively market street.

"Your Highness, this is really lively." Zheshuang is also rare to have time to come to Xilin Street, the end of this very prosperous commercial street in Beiling, at this moment by several wealthy businessmen gathered together, held a fireworks feast.

At this moment, the fireworks are in full bloom, colorful and gorgeous, the crowd on the street is also crowded and jubilant, the lanterns are hung high, the fireworks are more brilliant than the stars, the world outside the palace is like snow, Jiang Mo's peach blossom eyes carefully swept the young women in the crowd, a big red cloak, bright colors, but only did not see the amazing delicate and exquisite.

Jiang Moran's eyes flashed a hint of loneliness, and he walked through the crowd, suddenly stopped, looked up at a plaque and was stunned.

Zheshuang looked over and saw the first three words: a collection of flowers.

"Your Highness, this is a good name." Although Zheshuang has not read a book, he is also literate, and he only thinks that the words are not bad together, and although the door is closed, the fragrance around him has endured for a long time.

"It's good," Jiang Mo smiled in his eyes, "Let's go back." ”

In the Zhaowang Mansion, the frost was served with tea, and when he saw the wind coming in the snow, he retreated to the door, and Jiang Moran saw him coming back, so he hurriedly asked, "Can you hear it?" ”

"Yes," Xiao Feng said, "This collection of flowers is a spice shop on Xilin Street, and the shopkeeper is none other than Zuo Huaci, the daughter of the Protector's Mansion." ”

"Protector's Mansion!" Jiang Moran was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then said, "The wife of the Duke of Protector is the sister of Lord Xiangguo now?" ”

Xiao Feng nodded, Jiang Moran reacted, he said how to look at that girl is familiar, it turned out that they had met since childhood, when they were about three or four years old, the Duchess of the Protector Linghu Qingge often brought her little daughter to the palace to play with them, the little girl was only two or three years old, very cute and smart, and later after the death of Queen Chengshu, the first emperor saw that Linghu Qingge was also afraid of missing the old man, and gradually, Linghu Qingge rarely brought children over......

However, at that time, it was too young, too long, and the eighteenth change of the female university, Jiang Moran couldn't remember the appearance of the little girl for a long time, only remembered that the eyes were extraordinarily bright, but he remembered Linghu Qingge, she was the Duchess of the Protectorate.

However, what made Jiang Moran's heart flutter was not that he had to meet the deceased, but that he remembered that when his father was dying, he had told him that he intended to marry the Protector Mansion, and if he and the daughter of the Protector Mansion were not matched by a good person in the future, he would let Jiang Moran come to the door to propose.

At that time, Jiang Moran didn't think that the daughter of a courtier's family could get a prince to propose marriage in person.

But now, he was so happy that he couldn't sit still, Xiao Feng looked at Jiang Moran very happy, and he was puzzled, so he had to continue: "Your Highness, this Miss Zuo also seems to like to wander the rivers and lakes, very leisurely, and is not often at home, as for the rest, the subordinates have not heard about it. ”

Jiang Moran suddenly said again: "Then she has a marriage contract?" ”

"It's... This subordinate didn't... But Your Highness," Xiao Feng took out a delicate incense box from his bosom and said, "When I went to the flower collection in the afternoon, I bought a plum incense from their family, and the girl who bought the spices said that the spices made in it were complicated, delicate and unique, and they were made by Miss Zuo herself. ”

After Jiang Moran heard this, he took the small box of spices, and suddenly remembered that early this morning, the girl had wanted to do her own business, so he smiled and said, "Okay, you go down first." ”

"Yes." After the wind retreated, Jiang Moran changed the plum incense in the bronze beast head incense burner on the table, and mixed some plum incense into it, curling green smoke, faint plum fragrance, the dark fragrance of the plum in the study was instantly swept away, more sweet, and the whole room seemed to be gentler.

Jiang Mo Ran smelled it, so he called Aunt Zhihua and said: "In the future, all the spices in the Zhaowang Mansion will be collected from the flowers. ”

"Yes, Your Highness." Zhihua is now the head of the Zhaowang Mansion, and he retreated after receiving the order, and Jiang Moran was the only one left in the study, and he looked at the portrait painted in the afternoon, and he didn't feel distracted.

Three years ago, Jiang Mobai drafted, because he adhered to the brotherhood of "sharing the blessings", he was stunned to stuff two into his house, one is the eldest daughter of the eldest grandson Chengyu, the general of the second rank auxiliary state-eldest grandson Biyue, because of her prominent family background, Jiang Moran made her the position of side concubine, and the other is the daughter of Bai Mo, the fourth grade of the Chinese scholar, Bai Yanran, although these two are beautiful, but Jiang Moran has never taken it to heart, in contrast, the gentle and delicate Bai Yanran is more favored than the arrogant and hypocritical eldest grandson Biyue, but in his heart, now it is full of Zuo Huaci's clever smile.

The night was deep, Jiang Mo went back to the dormitory to rest, and he might be able to get a good night's sleep tonight, but he didn't know that not far away, in the palace hall, in the brightly lit Mingxuan Hall, a stormy wave was brewing......

After returning from Guanlan Pavilion, Jiang Qingluo first went back to Fuling Palace to rest, thinking that he could wash and sleep, but when he saw Kang Lu coming, Jiang Qingluo frowned: "It's so late, why are you here?" ”

"The emperor is anxious to see you." Kang Lu said, Jiang Qingluo was stunned, what happened, she thought that Jiang Mobai would go to Yanyu Tower to find Su Yan'er to spend Chinese New Year's Eve together, why did she go back to her palace?

Jiang Qingluo felt that this was wrong, so he put on his coat again and hurriedly went to Mingxuantang.
