Chapter 34: A Concern

Li Ran clung to the stone wall, watching in horror as the huge tiger slowly approached her, slowly passing by her.

Behind the tiger, a tall and straight man in black seemed to not see Li Ran and Zhou E, and walked slowly past with his hands behind his back.

Seeing the tiger walking away, Li Ran pumped up in one breath, his legs were weak, and he fell to the ground.

In this capital, how can there be tigers in such a lively place?

Did she really see the tiger just now, or was she dazzled? Hit the devil?

"Are you alright?" Zhou E stood beside Li Ran, saw her two hands on the ground, stunned, didn't get up for a long time, bent down and asked.

"Was there a tiger just now?" Li Ran shook his two hands and two legs, propped himself up, and then leaned against the wall, going up little by little, and finally got up.

"Hmm." Zhou E looked very calm.

"Huh? Did you see that too? Is it really a tiger? Is there really a tiger? Li Ran looked at Zhou E in disbelief and shouted.

"That's General Xie's White Tiger. Like General Xie, he is also a general, the Divine Monarch of the Soldiers, and he has a lot more money for a month than General Xie. Zhou E saw Li Ran get up, put her hands behind her back, and walked forward slowly.

"Which General Xie? Xie Ze? Li Ran hurriedly followed Zhou E.

The shock just now hadn't passed, and she didn't dare to leave it alone.

"Hmm." Zhou E still only hummed.

Li Ran followed Zhou E closely, and the chaos in her mind became even more chaotic.

General Xie's White Tiger? What does this mean?

How could she be so calm? Could it be that this place is a fantasy world where humans and beasts live together? There are tiger generals, is there still dragoons? Bear Samurai?

"This tiger, there are all those who are generals? Are they all tigers, or are there something else? Like, wolves? Leopard? Bear? Is there a dragon or something? What about you? What's yours? ”

Zhou E paused violently, twisted around, and looked at Li Ran who almost bumped into her speechlessly.

"Are you supposed to play a trick? What about returning the dragon? What else do I have? I have a horse, and everyone else is like me, and everyone else has a horse, and nothing else. ”

"Then Xie Ze......" Li Ran wiped her face with both hands, she felt much better, the world was still normal.

"General Xie! That was General Xie's fate. ”

Zhou E first corrected Li Ran's name.

Li Ran took a deep breath and took another breath.

The fate law turned out to be the fate law.

Well, her souls flew back again, and they all seemed to be back, now. She felt much better.

General Xie has a tiger, Wang Ji must know, and now, at this moment, she misses Wang Ji very much.

That night, for the first time since arriving here, Li Ran had a nightmare.

In her sleep, a frightening darkness slowly but inevitably pressed down on her, and Li Ran opened her eyes in fright.

The room was quiet, and Li Ran turned over and looked at the cold white on the south window facing her.

The bed she slept in was like a small house, and the first day she slept here, she didn't let Qiuyue put down the layers of curtains.

She feels light, sleeps deeply, the slightest movement can wake her up, and she prefers to be open than being surrounded by layers, and under the open, she can better feel the movement around her, as well as danger.

She was the only one who slept in the three upper rooms, and it was quiet around, outside the house, the wind blew through the treetops, and in the distance, there was a faint sound of more noise.

It was very warm in the room, and Li Ran put her arm outside the quilt and looked at the window, thinking or thinking about anything.

……………………

The next morning, Li Ran took the book, basked in the sun, and squinted as if it was not reading.

Although she really wanted to go to Wang Ji and ask about the tiger, but this matter, at this time, is to think about it.

Her situation is scruples and scruples, for her, there is no difference, but Wang Ji is not her, nor is she in this situation.

Like Wang Ji and the Wang family, there must be many taboos and scruples.

She can't use her scruples to embarrass her family.

Moreover, Wang Ji is very good to her, and she wants to try her best to be good to them and think about them as much as possible.

That tiger, since reality exists, is there, it makes no difference if you know it one day earlier and one day later.

Li Ran read a book for a morning, ate lunch, left the Chang'an Marquis Mansion, and went straight to the Liwa Lotus Shed.

She likes to watch dramas, and prefers to watch wonderful dramas like Caixi Class, and she wants to watch them for a few days and watch them enough.

At least, read all of this book first, and then go to see the rest of the excitement!

Next to the Fuzi private room, Huo Wencan, Huo Sangongzi and Li Qingning sat in the darkness of the Shouzi private room, looking at Li Ran, who was smiling at Xiao Yanduan in the Fuzi private room.

"When I smile like this, I blush for her!" The folding fan in Huo Wencan's hand was half open, and he covered his face against his forehead, looking unbearable to witness.

"Before she arrived in the capital, she hadn't left the small courtyard in Shanxian County, and there was no one to speak, how did she know what it was? You're a person with a dirty belly, and you think that people are just like you? Li Qingning unceremoniously slammed back.

"Again, I was negligent. You say she doesn't understand, what is she laughing at? You see her smiling, she doesn't have a face. Huo Wencan had the courage to admit his mistake, but looking at Li Ran's smiling face, he still felt that he didn't see it.

"What's the matter with you?" Li Qingning angrily went back again.

"It's none of my business, but it's yours, right?" Huo Wencan simply didn't look at Li Ran, moved, and faced Li Qingning, "That's the girl of the Li family in your Chang'an Hou Mansion, no matter how your mother-in-law and your aunt deceive herself, she is there, her surname is Li."

Okay, your mother-in-law and your aunt don't know a single word, don't mention them.

What about you? can also watch her run around like this, watch the guests undress, and watch Xiao Yanduan watch...... Look. ”

Huo Wencan grabbed Li Qingning, smiled at his face and kept patting Li Ran on the arm of the chair.

"You know she doesn't know anything, and I know it, but what about others? What about this shed of ignorant fools? What do they think? What will they say? Even if you don't think about her, you have to think about your Chang'an Marquis Mansion, what kind of reputation is this? ”

"My father didn't say anything, and the emperor didn't say anything, the prince ......"

Li Qingning spread his hands, and as soon as he talked about the prince, he was interrupted by Huo Wencan:

"Before I came, I told the prince that I wanted to go to the lotus shed with you to have a look, do you see what the prince said? The prince asked us to come, this is the attitude! What else to say?

You said the emperor, the emperor didn't mention it, he was eloquent, I don't know what he thinks. Your Daddy, tsk! ”

"What are you talking about, I told you, Daddy can't control her." Li Qingning was extremely distressed.

Huo Wencan sighed, "Can't care? Hey, too, your dad...... Okay, okay, don't talk about it, say you, you are a brother, don't mention a brother, you are a son, yesterday's teacher lectured, this filial piety, there is a small filial piety and a big filial piety......"

"Okay, okay, how do you say I am filial? How should I be filial? You say, I'll listen to you, okay? Li Qingning was sprayed with saliva by Huo Wencan, and while wiping his saliva, he said infinitely worried.

"Go and tell her, she can't run out every day like this, just go shopping, and go to the tiles to watch a play and listen to a little song, forget it, don't talk about this first, you have to tell her about this little Yanduan, and attract customers, how can a little girl listen to and watch?" Huo Wencan commanded unceremoniously.

"This little Yanduan, this, how do you say this?" Li Qingning's face was bitter.

"What do you mean? If you are serious, how do you call it? I see you're also a filthy belly, so what's that to say? Huo Wencan finally found an opportunity to return the filthy words to Li Qingning.

"Then you go ahead and say it." Li Qingning spread his hands.

"I'll say it, I'll say it, what's the big deal, go!" Huo Wencan stood up imposingly.

Li Qingning hurriedly stood up, and as soon as Li Qingning stood up, Huo Wencan sat back again.

"I can't go now, I have to wait until these little Yan segments are finished, otherwise...... Cough! Huo Wencan coughed majestically.

Li Qingning sat back without making a sound, too, the two of them were big men, sitting with her and listening to Xiaoyan'er......

At the end of Xiaoyan'er in front, in the sound of drums on the stage, Li Ran stood up, made tea again, picked a saucer and brought it to Mei Ding'er in front of him, and sat down again.

Just sat down, just about to enjoy the next big play, Li Ran heard a series of coughs behind him.

Li Ran turned his head, the curtain at the entrance of the private room was raised high, and Li Qingning and Huo Wencan stood at the entrance of the private room one after the other.

The smile on Li Ran's face faded, and she turned her head and looked at the stage.

Li Qingning, who was standing in front, was pushed into the private room by Huo Wencan, and reached out to pick up the candlestick on the corner of the private room first, and put the candlestick on the ground.

Li Ran felt the change in the candlelight and looked at the candlestick on the ground.

It turns out that this candlestick is to be placed on the ground, well, this is really much better, and it is still clear to see the inside of the private room, but when you look at the private room from the outside, it should be difficult to see anything.

Huo Wencan followed in, and seeing that Li Ran and Zhou E were both motionless, Li Qingning's little servant Moxiang hurriedly squeezed in sideways, dragged over two chairs, and put them next to Li Ran.

Li Qingning took the first step to snatch the chair far away from Li Ran, lit the chair in the middle, and motioned to Huo Wencan, who was staring at him.

Zhou E grabbed a handful of melon seeds and swallowed them.

Huo Wencan sat down, looked at Li Ran, who had been concentrating on watching the big drama on stage, coughed, opened his mouth, but suddenly turned his head back, looked at Zhou E and smiled: "Those ...... just now What, a little bit, you didn't tell you girl? ”

Zhou E spit out the melon seed skin in her mouth, with a serious expression, "The order I received from Master Hou is to protect the girl's safety." ”

Huo Wencan turned his head with a dry smile, Li Qingning met his gaze, and hurriedly bowed his mouth to the door of the private room, signaling him to hurry up.

Huo Wencan understood what Li Qingning meant, and glanced at him fiercely.

He, Huo Wencan, has always faced difficulties, when has he ever flinched?

Li Qingning rolled his eyes speechlessly, okay, if he has to find it boring, he can't help it.

Huo Wencan moved and moved, put his hands on his knees, sat upright, coughed again, and looked at the big drama in the stands to see Li Ran, who was really fascinated.

"Ahem, Miss Li." Huo Wencan's expression was serious, and his voice was serious, but Li Ran didn't hear this Miss Li.

"Ahem! Miss Lee! Seeing that Li Ran was still staring at the stage with two eyes, supporting his two ears, and listening attentively, Huo Wencan had no choice but to raise his voice and shout again.

This time Li Ran heard it, and frowned slightly and looked at Huo Wencan.

She saw the two of them come in, but she was busy watching the play, and she really didn't have time to think about what the two of them were doing, but she didn't want to care, the two of them didn't seem to let her leave it alone.

"Is there something wrong?" Seeing that Huo Wencan met her gaze, but stopped talking, Li Ran frowned a little and asked unceremoniously.

"Yes." Huo Wencan's answer is full of confidence.

"Say it." Li Ran turned her gaze back to the stage.

"A person like a girl runs around and goes to this tile to watch a play, this is not suitable, the little lady in the capital, there is no girl like this." Huo Wencan's heart was horizontal, and he had something to say.

"So what should I do?" Li Ran looked at Huo Wencan.

"The girl was reading in the house a while ago, isn't it good?" Although Huo Wencan was stunned, he reacted extremely quickly.

"I've been reading books for more than ten years, and I've been in prison for 17 years, and I don't want to read anymore, let alone go to prison anymore." Li Ran replied indifferently and turned her head to look at the stage.

"Okay, if you want to come out, it's okay, but you ......"

Huo Wencan swallowed, his heart was sour when she said this, and he regretted what he said just now, he ran around and regretted it a little, that sentence was too heavy, and he had to turn around, but just as he was about to say that he couldn't be alone, he immediately remembered, how could she have a companion? Even his sister wanted to walk around when she saw her.

"Okay," Huo Wencan choked back a bunch of words, "Forget about the rest, just now, those little ...... I mean, those hat shows aren't what little girls should watch and listen to! There are also those visitors to the peony shed, haven't you looked around, are there any little girls like you? Which little lady looks at those things? Yes? ”

Li Ran turned her head to look at Huo Wencan, and she could feel every trace of the kindness revealed in his words.

"Thank you." Li Ran lowered her eyebrows, bowed slightly, and thanked solemnly.

Huo Wencan was thanked by her, and Xie was stunned.

He was ready to be scolded back by her, and he was ready to be scolded again.

"Those visitors are very beautiful, fresh and flexible, like flowers. Those hat shows just now are also very good-looking, and the singing, reading, and playing are very good. As for the rest, I didn't think much about it, just to look good. ”

Li Ran turned sideways slightly, faced Huo Wencan, and explained carefully and seriously.

"yes, that, it's good-looking, I mean, I mean."

Li Ran's good attitude made Huo Wencan unexpectedly panicked.

"That, I know, it's actually nothing, it's just, gossip, think about it, so many people, all looking at you and looking at those things, what do they think? And what would you say? This reputation ...... Right? ”

"I don't care about that." Li Ran smiled slightly, "I know who I am, and I know my situation. At this time, I can walk everywhere, watch everywhere, watch such beautiful customers, watch such wonderful dramas, be so happy, be so happy, and after that, no matter what happens in the future, whether there is a future or not, I can be worthy of this life.

Thank you. ”

Huo Wencan was said by Li Ran. My heart was suddenly filled with spicy pathos, and I couldn't say a single word.

Li Qingning stood up, pulled Huo Wencan up, lowered his head and walked out.

The two of them came out of the lotus shed, Li Qingning sighed several times, Huo Wencan breathed a sigh of relief, and tightened his eyebrows: "Why is this so?" How did she speak? That's too much, isn't it? That's really ...... Alas. ”

Huo Wencan sighed halfway through speaking.

It's really hard to say about her future, for example, if she is held hostage and coerced and set up as a cover......

……………………

Outside the Jinghua Hall in the evening, the prince walked forward slowly with his hands behind his back, while talking in a low voice to Xie Ze, who was half a step behind.

“…… Listen to these words, her transparency is still beyond your expectations. ”

Xie Ze hummed lowly.

"It's a poor man. You pay more attention, as long as she doesn't want to go, don't let someone take her away. The prince was silent for a moment, and then commanded in a low voice.

"Hmm." Xie Ze replied in a low voice.
