"Cousin Yan."

Yan Ran bowed to Wen Chengyan, bowed his head and said: "I just felt that there was some food accumulation, so I wanted to go to the eldest princess, but I didn't expect the Guogong Mansion to be so big, I lost my way for a while......"

Her voice became lower and lower, and she really looked lost and at a loss, and Wen Chengyan also withdrew her gaze from behind her.

It just snowed this morning, and in the snow behind Yan Ran, the footprints were only a little further forward, and there were no traces of walking after that.

It can be seen that what she said is true, she did come here, found that she had taken the wrong road, turned back, and did not continue to walk.

Wen Chengyan smiled lightly, stretched out his hand and made a gesture of please: "I'll send Cousin Ran back!" ”

There was only one road in front of him, and Yan Ran didn't have to refuse, so she had to nod and walk in front of her.

Wen Chengyan took a step behind and glanced back at the direction where Wen Rong'an's courtyard was located again, with an inexplicable expression.

Yan Ran secretly said that it was dangerous, but fortunately, Wen Rong'an was not at ease, so he went to explore the way with Wen Qi.

Wen Qi found that Wen Chengyan was walking in this direction, so he smoothed the footprints on the snow and made it look like no one had ever walked, dispelling Wen Chengyan's doubts that Yan Ran would travel here.

Yan Ran deeply admired Wen Qi's execution ability, and thought to herself that it was no wonder that Wen Rongan didn't need to be served by others, it turned out that having one Wen Qi was enough!

Minyang was leading everyone through the verandah, intending to go back to the house to keep warm, when someone trotted over and whispered a few words to Laneige.

Lanzhi stepped forward to support Minyang and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, the little grandfather and Miss Yan are at Lianhu!" ”

When Minyang heard that Wen Chengyan and Yan Ran were mixed up again, he was immediately angry.

Minyang was about to have a seizure, but the county lord of Jin Luan stepped forward and said with concern: "Eldest princess, your face is not very good, is it that the wind outside is too cold?" Let's go back quickly! ”

Minyang looked at the county lord of Jinluan, suddenly had a plan, and warmly took her hand: "It's still intimate, and the palace is fine." In this house, there is also a lotus lake, lotus red willow green in summer, covered in silver in winter, it is a beautiful scenery, this palace will take you to see. ”

The lord of Jinluan County can get close to Minyang, and he can't ask for it, and he is full of joy.

Minyang took the hand of the county lord of Jinluan and walked in front, and sighed: "This palace often hears the queen mother praise you, saying that you are beautiful and honest, and bring her a lot of joy. After all, this palace is a foreign married daughter, and she can't serve the queen mother, thanks to you accompanying the queen mother and doing your filial piety for the palace. ”

Min Yang said, and gently patted the hand of the county lord of Jinluan, looking loving.

The county lord of Jin Luan was dazzled by Minyang's praise, and said respectfully: "The maid is young and discouraged, thanks to the queen mother's mother, she will not give up, and she will be brought to the palace to be raised, and it is the duty of the maid to be filial piety to the queen mother." ”

Minyang smiled, and then asked: "By the way, this palace heard from the queen mother that the almond bergamot you made is full of color and fragrance, which is comparable to that of the imperial kitchen." ”

The county lord of Jinluan said shamefully: "It's the queen mother's praise." ”

Minyang seemed to mention it inadvertently: "Yan'er loves to eat this almond Buddha's hand, don't look at him, he is respected as a little grandfather, looking at Duan Fang steady, in fact, he is a child's heart, and he loves to eat these sweet snacks the most." ”

Minyang said, and sighed lightly: "I don't know when this palace will be able to have a good mouth and eat the dim sum made by Wan'er herself!" ”

Lord Jinluan's heart moved, and said: "If the eldest princess doesn't dislike it, the maid will often come to accompany you, and she will also make snacks for you when the time comes, and the almond bergamot tastes the best when it is just out of the pot." ”

Minyang's smile became deeper and deeper, and he stroked the hand of the county lord of Jinluan and said, "Okay, what a good boy!" ”

Lord Jinluan's heart was extremely excited, the eldest princess was so enthusiastic, expressed her love for her, and revealed Wen Chengyan's preferences to her, it seemed that she liked her very much, she must behave well!

While talking, the group came to Lianhu under the leadership of Minyang, and saw Yan Ran and Wen Chengyan walking one after the other from a distance.

Although the two were far away from each other, and they didn't even talk, the face of the county lord of Jinluan suddenly became ugly.

Minyang sighed heavily, attracting the attention of the county lord of Jinluan.

Minyang said to himself: "Alas, Yan'er is older and has his own ideas, although it is a major marriage event and the fate of his parents, it depends on his own thoughts after all!" ”

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention.

These words fell into the ears of the county lord of Jinluan, and he felt that Minyang had taken a fancy to her, and she should have been the one who walked with Wen Chengyan, but she was destroyed by Yan Ran, a roadblock!

Yan Ran and Wen Chengyan came to Minyang, and the county lord of Jinluan took the lead in asking, "Isn't Miss Yan cold and unhealed, why did she come out again?" ”

Yan Ran was about to speak, but was preempted by Wen Chengyan: "Cousin Ran has some food, so I want to look for you, but I got lost in the garden, and I happened to meet her, so I brought her over." ”

When the county lord of Jinluan heard this, not only was his face not angry, but he also stepped forward uncharacteristically and grabbed Yan Ran's hand, and said with a smile: "This is a coincidence, I will take the hawthorn pill and go back and bring it to you." ”

The two held hands, smiling and smiling, looking very intimate.

But in fact, the county lord of Jinluan was secretly squeezing Yan Ran's hand hard, making Yan Ran feel pain and frowning slightly.

After the two of them walked a distance ahead of everyone, and when they reached the corner, Yan Ran shook off the county lord of Jinluan vigorously, rubbed his wrist and said unceremonously: "The county lord has something to say, my skin is very fragile, and it is very easy to bruise, if Cousin Yan sees this finger mark, maybe he will feel that the county lord is tyrannical!" ”

"You!"

The county lord of Jinluan was really angry, pointed at Yan Ran and asked, "You didn't say that you and the little grandfather are just cousins, and there is nothing else to think about." In this case, why do you still stick it up, and dare to visit the garden alone with him?! ”

Yan Ran felt very helpless about the jealousy of the county lord of Jinluan: "County lord, this is the Dingguo Mansion, Wen Chengyan's home, isn't it normal for me to meet him occasionally?" Besides, during the banquet, the eldest princess was very favored by Cui Jingshi, did she ever give me half a look? Therefore, even if Wen Chengyan has no intention of Cui Jingshi, the eldest princess takes a fancy to Cui Jingshi, and this matter is already halfway. But the eldest princess doesn't look down on me, even if Wen Chengyan is interested in me, this thing can't be done. ”

Seeing that the county lord's expression loosened somewhat, Yan Ran continued: "Besides, even if Cui Jingshi or I have anything to do with Wen Chengyan in the future, there is a strong Cui family behind Cui Jingshi, can the county lord have the power to compete?" And you are the lord of the county, can't you rectify my daughter of the Shangshu Mansion? Which is more important, the county lord thinks about it himself! ”

After Yan Ran finished speaking, she turned around and left.

This is the last time she knows about the Lord of Jinluan, and if the Lord of Jinluan still regards her as an imaginary rival in the future and makes a move on her, she will not be polite!

Yan Ran's words were not unreasonable, but they could not dispel the doubts in the heart of the county lord of Jinluan.

Cui Jingshi said that Wen Chengyan was devoted to Yan Ran, but the eldest princess did seem to look at her differently; Yan Ran said that she had no intention of Wen Chengyan, and the eldest princess really didn't like her, but Wen Chengyan's attitude towards her was a little unclear.

Both have their own points, but neither can be trusted.

Lord Jinluan looked forward at Yan Ran's back, looked back at Cui Jingshi, who was talking and laughing with Minyang, and stomped his foot fiercely.

She can see it, Yan Ran and Cui Jingshi are more slippery than the other, neither of them is a good thing, and no one can believe it!

*

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Yan Ran fulfilled her promise to Concubine Yun and built a porridge shed in the city to give alms.

Yan Ran originally acted in the name of Concubine Yun, but when the master who was invited by Master Yan to come to his home to give Yan Qiyou a make-up lesson, the master was very impressed by this kind act, so he made it clear to the curator.

So the curator took the lead and called on the masters and students in the school hall to contribute money and efforts to assist Yan Ran to complete this good deed together.

Concubine Yun sent a lot of silver taels, and there were donations from everyone in the school, Yan Ran's wish to realize the gift given by Qingguo Gong was once again disappointed.

On the day of almsgiving, four porridge sheds were built near the city gate, each porridge shed had two large cauldrons, and with the help of the men of the school, the white porridge was boiled continuously, exuding white water vapor and the attractive aroma of rice.

After a while, there was a long queue outside several porridge sheds.

Zhen Yu stood behind Yan Ran, looked out, and said, "Sister Yan, how can there be so many poor people?" I'm afraid that no one will come, and it will be a waste if we cook so much porridge! ”

The students of the Chongwen Museum are all the children of princes and ministers, although they read a lot, they see little in the world, and even many people will naively ask "why not eat minced meat" when they hear about soup kitchen. ”

It is not surprising that Zhen Zhen has this idea.

Yan Ran helped serve porridge in front, and after a while, she was too tired to lift her arms.

Zhen Yu was eager to try: "Sister Yan, let me come!" ”

Yan Ran smiled: "This is a hard work, you have thin arms and legs, I'm afraid you can't even pick up this long porridge spoon." Don't stay here, there's a lot of people here, the air is not good, and it's going to be uncomfortable later. ”

Zhen Yu reluctantly looked at the steaming porridge pot and licked his lips.

Yan Ran was amused by her gluttonous cat appearance, and casually filled her with a bowl of porridge: "Okay, go and sit in the back and eat." ”

Zhen Yu held the hot porridge bowl and left happily.

Yan Ran was busy sweating profusely, and Qingxuan suddenly ran over and said eagerly: "Girl, it's not good, there are many people who have been poisoned after drinking porridge!" ”

Yan Ran was shocked, threw down the porridge spoon and walked quickly to Zhen Yu.

Zhen Yu had already drunk half a bowl of porridge, Yan Ran grabbed the bowl and asked, "Yu'er, do you feel unwell?" ”

Zhen Yu shook his head inexplicably: "No." ”

Yan Ran frowned, turned around and hurriedly walked towards the crowd, and Zhen Yu also hurriedly got up and followed.

When Yan Ran came to the place where the people who drank porridge gathered, she saw that many people fell to the ground, clutching their stomachs and crying out in pain, and some people vomited incessantly, and even some people foamed at the mouth and fell into syncope.

Yan Ran's heart sank suddenly.
