Chapter Seventy-Two: The Ming Sword Chen Family
Seventeen covered her cheeks, which were swollen at a visible rate, and asked, "Does the eldest lady's marriage contract have anything to do with whether I can be her bodyguard?"
Seventeen admitted that when he heard that the eldest lady had a marriage contract, he felt a little empty in his heart.
However, this doesn't seem to affect him from being a guard!
"You're not ......," Commander Hu said, not knowing how to continue.
"What am I?"
To be honest, Commander Hu's slap didn't use all his strength, but it still made Seventeen's head a little confused.
Even Lan Yanming sensed that something was wrong!
If you want to be his sister's bodyguard, must you have a wrong idea?
It doesn't seem necessarily, does it?
He glared at Commander Hu, because he found that his thinking seemed to have been distorted by Commander Hu's slap just now!
"Why do you want to be Yanlin's bodyguard?"
"It was the eldest lady who brought me to the Blue Mansion, and I confessed to promising before that I would protect her as her guard in the future!"
Lan Yanming asked, "When did it happen?"
"About ...... It seems like 10 years ago!"
"Okay, I understand, you go down!" Lan Yanming waved his hand and motioned for the two of them to step back, "I will seriously consider your request." β
Out of the attic, the two were silent for a long time, and Commander Hu asked a little curtly: "Seventeen, does your face still hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt anymore!"
"You have a good rest!" the words of apology, Commander Hu was always embarrassed to say it.
The first snow of winter in Yiyang City came unexpectedly.
Stepping on the snow layer and watching the flying snow fall like goose feathers, Seventeen entered the attic of the eldest prince again.
Looking at the eldest prince, Seventeen was in a nervous mood, he went back to take a good look at it, and finally found that his request was a bit reckless.
But now that the words have been spoken, he will not regret it.
After all, that's his promise.
"Seventeen, you can be Yan Lin's guard!" said the eldest prince straight to the point.
Through the report of his subordinates, Lan Yanming already roughly understood the reason why Seventeen wanted to be his sister's bodyguard.
Seventeen was a little excited: "Really?
"Do I need to lie to you?" Lan Yanming asked rhetorically.
"Thank you, eldest son!"
"Don't thank me yet, I'm conditional, you listen first and then make a choice!"
"Okay!" Seventeen tried to hold back his excitement, "Prince, please speak!"
It was too unexpected for him to become the eldest lady's guard so smoothly.
"With your talent, if you just act as Yan Lin's bodyguard, it is really overkill, if it is known by other families, they will laugh at our Lan family for ruining a genius!" Lan Yanming looked at Seventeen and said seriously, "I want you to join the Blue Shadow Guard!"
Blue Shadow Guard?
Seventeen, this is the second time I've heard of Blue Shadow Guard.
"What is the Blue Shadow Guard?"
"The Blue Shadow Guard is a secret force of our Lan family, few people know that in addition to being responsible for protecting the safety of the Lan family, the Blue Shadow Guard also has to eliminate all enemies that threaten our Lan family!" Lan Yanming said in a low voice, "The Blue Shadow Guard only obeys the orders of the head of the family, and in recent years, my father has slowly handed over the Blue Shadow Guard to me, and you are very suitable to join it." β
"Would you like to?"
"My subordinates are willing!"
Lan Yanming nodded with satisfaction, at least seventeen was his person.
"Later, Xinyue will take you to get three sets of clothes and waist tags, and after you change them, she will take you to Yanlin, and she will tell Yanlin that you were arranged by me. Lan Yanming handed a piece of jade pendant to Seventeen Dao, "Don't forget to take this jade pendant to the Chuangong Pavilion today to get a copy of the yellow-level high-grade exercises and Xuan-level low-grade martial arts, I have already told the steward of the Chuangong Pavilion that I will directly hand over the jade pendant to him, as for your entry into the Blue Shadow Guard, someone will look for you tomorrow night." β
Before Seventeen left, Lan Yanming also said: "Seventeen, Yanlin's family affairs were personally decided by my father, and when she was still in the Lan Mansion, you have to protect her well." β
Seventeen understood the other meanings contained in the words of the eldest prince.
Xinyue, the maid she saw in the attic yesterday seventeen, had a very high status among the servants of the Blue Mansion.
Seventeen had a good impression of her, and felt that she was quite enthusiastic, without the arrogance of being Lan Yanming's personal maid at all, and there was always a smile on her face, which made people feel very kind when she looked at her.
Along the way, she introduced the general situation in the Blue Mansion and the route of the place names that needed to be memorized to Seventeen, and Seventeen silently memorized it.
The Lan family's guard uniforms are all black, and there is a set of black close-fitting leather armor on the upper body.
After putting on the guard uniform, Xinyue looked at Seventeen with a smile and said, "Wearing this dress, it looks quite manly!"
Seventeen didn't know how to answer.
"Seventeen, is there a girl you like in the Lan Mansion, if so, you can tell your sister, my sister has served the eldest prince for a few years, and she still has some face in the Lan Mansion!" Xinyue said in a low voice, "Even if you like a girl from the side of the Lan family, your sister can also help you say a matchmaker!
"Sister Crescent, I'm still young. β
"Still young, where is it small?" Xinyue said in a slightly ridiculous tone, "You are almost fifteen, not too young, my sister told you, if you meet a girl you like, you must start quickly, otherwise the beautiful ones will be picked by others!"
Seventeen could only bow his head in embarrassment.
Crescent Moon smiled and didn't continue to talk about it, Seventeen was still young and thin-skinned, and had said that he might be angry.
"It's easier to be an errand boy at the eldest lady, because the eldest lady has not been in good health since she was a child, and she rarely goes out, so you have to continue to practice hard in your spare time!"
"Okay!" assured Seventeen.
"That's good!" Crescent Moon continued, "In the past few years, there are not many young martial artists who can be favored by the eldest prince, so don't let down his expectations of you." β
"Hmm!"
Seventeen thought for a moment and asked, "Sister Crescent, can I ask the eldest lady why she is not in good health?"
Xinyue said in a low voice: "It is said that the congenital meridians are imperfect, and there is basically no cure, but the eldest lady has a good temper, treats people kindly, and will not be harsh on her subordinates, and many servants in the Blue Mansion respect her very much." β
"Who is the eldest lady's fiancΓ©?"
"The eldest young master of the Chen family of Ming Sword City!" said Xinyue in a low voice with some dissatisfaction.
Ming Jian City, Seventeen have heard of it, in Nanyun Kingdom, Ming Sword City, like the Lan family, is also a well-known top family.
The eldest young master of the Chen family in Ming Sword City?
Thinking of the eldest son Lan Yanming, Seventeen had to admit that the other party should be a good match for the eldest lady!
The eldest lady's garden should have been planted with a lot of flowers and plants before, but unfortunately when winter came, most of them became dead branches and leaves, covered with a layer of snow.
Only in the corner, a plum blossom blooms alone, exuding a faint fragrance.
