Chapter Seventy-Three: Meet the Eldest Lady
A girl with a noble temperament and beautiful appearance, dressed in a fox fur, stood in front of the eaves, stretched out her delicate little hand to let the snowflakes fall on the palm.
The girl was thin and thin, and her face was as pale as snow.
The shadow in the memory merges with the girl in front of you!
Seventeen remembered that Miss Lan was not much older than him.
Seventeen still remembers that the first time he saw her, it was also such a snowy day.
He was huddled on a street corner, shivering from the cold.
The pedestrians were in a hurry, no one stopped for him, and he was already desperate!
He felt that tomorrow he would be a hard corpse, thrown into a donkey cart by the city guards, just like a few of his other begging companions.
Until a carriage passed by, and then slowly reversed.
The heavy curtain on the carriage was lifted and closed again.
The coachman jumped out of the carriage, then lifted him up with one hand and said, "Lucky boy!"
Even though he has the Red Blood Demon Sword and has the opportunity to become a top master, his wish has not changed.
That's a promise he made from the bottom of his heart.
There are always some people who value commitment more than life.
......
"Slave Xinyue, I've seen the eldest lady!"
Lan Yanlin stared at the snowflakes falling from the sky and asked, "Xinyue, is there something you are here for?"
"The eldest prince asked me to bring Seventeen over to be your guard!"
"Guards?" Lan Yanlin glanced at Seventeen.
Seventeen held his breath, the muscles in his body tensed together.
Even in the face of Lan Yanming, he had never been so nervous.
After so many years of hard work, Seventeen is today!
Will the eldest lady be surprised to see him?
"Forget it, you can take him back! Tell my eldest brother that I understand his kindness. Lan Yanlin waved her hand and said, "With my mother-in-law and green sprouts here, I don't need guards." ”
Rejected?
Seventeen never thought this would happen!
If it had been seventeen before, he might have been helpless, but now ......
He took a deep breath, stood up and asked, "Miss, do you remember me?"
Lan Yanlin took a closer look at the tall and burly seventeen, frowned slightly, and said, "Do we know each other?"
"I'm seventeen!"
Seventeen?
This number Lan Yanlin sounded familiar, but she still couldn't remember it.
Seventeen's heart was as bad as being stabbed with a knife!
She turned her head to look at an old woman in her fifties with slightly gray hair standing beside her.
The old woman thought for a while and said, "It was all more than ten years ago, and it's normal for the eldest lady to forget, I didn't expect him to grow so big." ”
Seventeen said excitedly: "Mother-in-law remembers!"
"Of course I still remember, I'm not old enough to be dizzy!" The mother-in-law said with a smile, "You are the second in the recent annual exam, and you are the boy from the domestic servant, right?"
"Well, it's me!"
Lan Yanlin asked her mother-in-law with some doubts: "Is he?"
"About ten years ago, you brought him back to the Lan family from the street. ”
"Oh, it turned out to be you!" Lan Yanlin said suddenly.
She actually couldn't remember clearly, but after being reminded by her mother-in-law, she vaguely remembered that there was such a thing.
"Miss, remembered?"
"I remembered!" Lan Yanlin nodded.
Seventeen looked at her expectantly and asked, "Then can I stay?"
"Why do you stay when I think of you?"
"The eldest lady promised me before, when I pass the assessment in the future, I will come to the Blue Mansion to be your guard!"
Lan Yanlin turned her gaze to her mother-in-law again, she obviously forgot again.
The mother-in-law lowered her head, cleared her throat in embarrassment, and said, "I was not far from you at that time, Yanlin, you did agree!"
Then the mother-in-law added, "You are talking so loudly, I am nearby...... I didn't eavesdrop on purpose. ”
emmm...... This sentence is a bit of a cover-up.
Lan Yanlin met Seventeen's expectant gaze and covered her forehead with her hand helplessly.
"Or just keep him, anyway, we don't have more people here, and there are no fewer people!" the mother-in-law suggested, "There are some things that are not easy for them to come forward, so they should be one more errand runner, and they can't live up to the eldest prince's wishes." ”
"Okay!" Under the persuasion of her mother-in-law, Lan Yanlin finally relented.
Seventeen said excitedly: "Thank you, Miss, thank you, mother-in-law!"
What if the eldest lady has forgotten about him?
The eldest lady is just giving grace casually, but for him, it is like a mountain!
"Then seventeen, you should obey your mother-in-law's arrangement!" Lan Yanlin said, and entered the inner room with the help of the maids.
Seeing Lan Yanlin leaving, Xinyue lowered her voice and said to her mother-in-law: "Mother-in-law, Seventeen is very valued by the eldest prince, if he hadn't insisted, the eldest prince would never have let him be a guard, he might disappear for a few days in the future, and please bear with me." ”
"Well, I understand!" "The mother-in-law is old and sophisticated, and she also knows the potential of Seventeen, and she values Seventeen more as a person, "Don't worry, the eldest lady won't care." ”
After Crescent Moon left, the mother-in-law said to Seventeen, "Come with me!"
It can be said that Lan Yanlin does not lack anything here, and what is needed, he directly gives the Lan Mansion housekeeper a list, and he agrees to purchase and distribute.
As for security...... If Miss Lan's place of residence is not safe, he will not be able to help.
Occasionally when I go out, there will be a team of masters to act as guards, and with the strength of Seventeen now, it can only be regarded as an ordinary level among the guards.
The more I look at it, the more I feel like an ornament!
His residence was in a small room next to the door of the mansion, and as a man, there was no need to think about entering the mansion.
After tidying up the room a little, Seventeen lay on the hard plank, there was so much going on today that he was a little tired.
The sword spirit, who had not spoken for a long time, spoke up: "Boy, now that your dream has been achieved, is there a wordless loneliness and emptiness in your heart?"
"Maybe it's a little!"
"Do you feel that this eldest lady is a little different from what you remember?"
"Yes, but people always change, just like me!" Seventeen shook his head and said, "For me, as long as she's the eldest lady!"
"Now that your first goal in life has been achieved, do you want to set up another goal?" Chen Hao said, "I'm afraid that you will lose motivation and become the doorman Uncle Lan......"
"You're just a little shrimp in the Qi Sea Realm, if your eldest lady really encounters any danger...... You can't help either!"
"Lord Sword Spirit, don't worry, I will continue to work hard, I will go to the Transmission Pavilion now!"
During the day, Xinyue had already told Seventeen the location of the Transmission Pavilion, and with the help of the guard's waist card, Seventeen quickly found the Transmission Pavilion.
Looking at the dark and cold hole in front of him, and then at the three powerful red characters of "Chuangong Pavilion" on the big stone next to him, Seventeen asked in a low voice, "Lord Sword Spirit, how can Chuangong Pavilion be underground?"
