This night, Li Ran and Zhou E were in a tent, sleeping and waking up, but when it was close to dawn, they fell asleep.

When Li Ran woke up, the sun was almost overhead.

Zhou E was sitting at the door of the tent, carefully wrapping the handle of the dagger with a thin silk thread, and seeing that Li Ran was awake, she first shouted Shi Nan at the top of her voice, and then leaned over and stretched out her head into the tent, "Finally woke up, it must have been prepared a long time ago, over there, you go and wash." ”

Li Ran got out of the tent, and at a glance saw Xie Ze sitting under a tree not far away, subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, followed Zhou E's guidance, and went into a small enclosure surrounded by a walking barrier.

Shi Nan trotted over and muttered a few words to Zhou E, and Zhou E raised her voice again: "Don't worry, I said that I had to eat lunch before leaving." ”

Li Ran was a little surprised, is this all because she got up late?

There was plenty of hot water in the small enclosure, and everything was complete, and the clothes that were neatly placed were much more fitting than the one on her body.

Li Ran washed up, changed her clothes and came out, and went straight to the tree.

Xie Ze looked at Li Ran, who was running straight over, put down the paperwork in his hand, reached out and moved a small bamboo chair next to him in front of him, motioned for Li Ran to sit down, took the comb from Xiqing's hand, and braided Li Ran's long hair as he did yesterday.

The surroundings seemed to be lively all of a sudden, and several guards set up shelves, and hung yellow sheep on the shelves one by one.

Zhou E waved her hand and shouted to her to come, trotted up, took a small sharp knife from the guard's hand, threw it twice, went down with a knife first, and easily unscrewed the sheep's head and threw it to a guard, "Just split the brain, nothing else to eat." ”

Leaning against the mountain stream, there was more than one plank, and next to the board, a dozen or so marching stoves of different sizes were set up in a row, and several guards were busy pouring boiling water on a large pile of pheasants and turtledoves.

There were also a few guards, with their trousers rolled up high, carrying skewers of chicken entrails, and freshly knitted straw pockets, standing by the stream, bending over, stretching out their arms, and concentrating on catching fish.

In the distance, a guard with a helmet in one hand and a long flower snake in the other, was shouting in a loud voice: "Is there anything to eat for this thing?" There are a few more here, very fat! ”

Li Ran was surprised and surprised, Xie Ze combed her hair, knocked her with a comb, and she realized that her hair had been combed.

Li Ran looked back at Xie Ze, she didn't know why, she felt that the atmosphere here seemed to be very different from before, but Xie Ze still looked the same as before.

Li Ran stood up, dragged the chair to the side with Xie Ze, sat down, blowing the cool wind blowing from the depths of the mountain forest, and looked at the excitement in front of him.

Zhou E had already peeled a yellow sheep, broke open her belly, and while pointing out what to want and what not to do, she followed Xiqing's instructions and crossed a loin and handed it over.

The water in the cauldron has boiled, the mutton has been thrown in large pieces, and on the grass next to the stream, more than a dozen fish have been thrown, and the pheasants have been washed and put on white wooden poles, and the fire has been set up and roasted, and the fragrance of rice has wafted out from several large pots.

Li Ran looked at it with a smile on her face.

"Your grandmother is an family."

Xie Ze looked at Li Ran, who looked happy, and suddenly said something.

"Huh? Oh, yes! Be. ”

Li Ran looked sideways at Xie Ze, why did he suddenly say such a sentence?

"The An family is a military family, and I heard that the daughter of the family travels to spring, which is also like a march."

Xie Ze met Li Ran's puzzled gaze and explained.

Li Ran sighed slowly, what he meant by these two sentences, did she like what she was looking for because of the blood of the An family flowing in her body?

"The scenery here is so good, the mountain wind is blowing so much, blowing away all the mosquitoes, everyone is so happy, there are so many delicious food, you see General Zhou......"

Li Ran pointed to Zhou E, who was holding a long sword and happily stabbing a large piece of mutton in the pot.

"So happy, how good, the weather is good, I like summer."

"I mean, the last time you rode a horse, that tenacity was rare, and there is a family motto in the An family: don't be afraid of death, don't give up life, you did a good job."

Xie Ze glanced at Li Ran obliquely, looked at it for a while, and then said slowly.

"Oh." Li Ran dragged her voice and let out a sigh.

He clearly said that the daughter of the An family is like a march, and said that the tenacity of riding a horse is rare!

Xie Ze looked at Li Ran, for a moment, looked away, raised the dossier, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Lunch was made quickly, and Xiqing took a few small servants to put fried yellow mutton with wild celery, hibiscus chicken slices, roasted quail with honey, roasted fish with wild shallots, and two kinds of green wild vegetables, and a bowl of mutton soup.

Li Ran sighed again, Xie Ze's cooking skills are really stronger than the bell heads of Qingfeng Lou Fan Lou!

After eating, and slowly drinking two cups of tea, the small guards cleaned up and cleaned up, Zhou E led a horse to Li Ran, Li Ran got on the horse, trotted all the way, and went back to the capital.

The group did not walk fast, and when they entered the Weizhou Gate, it was already nearly midnight.

After entering the city gate, the guards dispersed, and the little maid chief followed the two of them, and at the mouth of the alley towards the Chang'an Marquis Mansion, Xie Zele stopped his horse, signaled Li Ran and Zhou E to go back, watched the two enter the alley, and rode away.

Zhou E and Li Ran got off the horse at the gate of the Chang'an Hou Mansion, which had been closed, and tied the horse to the bolted horse pile.

Mama Fu almost immediately greeted her, woke up the girl on duty, waited for Li Ran to bathe and wash, watched her fall asleep, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, covered the door and came out, and returned to the backyard.

Zhou E had just come out of the shower, had just come out with a bottle of wine, and was sitting on the couch, ready to drink a glass or two.

Mama Fu pushed the door in, sat opposite Zhou E, and watched Zhou E drink half a glass of wine in one gulp, "General Xie is back?" ”

Zhou E glanced at her, drank the wine in the cup, poured another glass, put the wine bottle back, looked at Mama Fu, and spread her hands.

Mama Fu looked at Zhou E and stopped talking, Zhou E took a small sip of a glass of wine, and Mama Fu stood up and walked out of the house.

Li Ran slept sweetly and soundly, and didn't wake up until the corner.

After washing up, Mama Fu pointed to the bowl of silver silk noodles that the little girl held up in front of Li Ran and said with a smile: "It's not early or late at this time, the girl will eat a bowl of fine noodles first, and it will be time to eat lunch in a while. ”

Li Ran smiled and slowly ate a small bowl of silver noodles.

"The girl was in a hurry, and the second grandmother came to ask twice, and I told the second grandmother that the girl was attentive to reading and not bothering.

Outside, the sixth lady of the Wang family sent someone to send something over, and invited the girl to Yingxiang Pool to drink tea to cool off, and I replied for the girl that the girl was reading a new book, and she was fascinated by it, and ordered not to disturb. Nothing else. ”

Li Ran listened intently and bowed slightly, "There is Mama Lao." ”

"The girl is polite, I don't dare to be." Mama Fu said a few more trivial things, and withdrew with her hands down.

Zhou E went out early in the morning, just came back at this time, carried a bamboo chair, sat under the porch, saw Mama Fu coming, stood up, followed Mama Fu, and entered Mama Fu's house.

"What's going on?" Mama Fu poured a cup of tea for Zhou E first, poured herself another cup, looked at Zhou E and asked.

"You say, if this little girl doesn't marry for the rest of her life, how will she live this life?" Zhou E didn't seem to be in a good mood.

"Aren't you married? Are you still ready to get married? I'm not married. Mama Fu didn't know what to think, so she looked at Zhou E again.

"It's not like us. We are errand men, like those noble women...... Alas. Zhou E let out a long sigh.

"The girl?" Mama Fu glanced at the main courtyard.

Zhou E didn't answer.

"I look at her temperament, it doesn't matter if she marries or not." Mama Fu poured another cup of tea for Zhou E, "Then what can we worry about?" ”

"She's not in the house these days, have you reported it?" Zhou E asked suddenly.

"The messenger I received was to take good care of her, but I didn't report this at any time, and no one came to ask me."

Mama Fu looked at Zhou E, whose face seemed to have eased a little, and sighed.

"You, do you need to report me? It's been a few days since she went out, could it be that she ate fried mutton or stewed mutton at noon today? If you don't report it, I won't report it, and the boss won't know?

As I said, it's not something we can worry about. You, alas.

Everyone has their own causes and consequences, and everyone has their own good fortune, that girl must be a blessed person, and you worry about it in vain. ”

"Yes." Zhou E stood up, patted the placket of her clothes, and was just about to leave, but she paused again, leaned back, looked at Mama Fu, and looked at Mama Fu with a serious face, "Old Fu, you say, how much does the emperor love General Xie?" Can you do something that you like and chop your hands? ”

Mama Fu just wanted An Ansheng to take a sip of tea, but choked on a sip of tea.

"Ahem! The first one, the chopping hand is not painful, it is a warning, the second one, the emperor hurts General Xie fell second, the crown prince...... This sentence is biased, and this should not be mentioned. Second, General Xie is a good man. Alas, you man! ”

Zhou E sighed and hurriedly left.

……………………

Huo Wencan and Li Qingning's mission was very hard, and they rushed back two days after Li Ran returned to the capital.

The two of them entered the Jinghua Palace, and the prince carefully reported to him, and when he left the Jinghua Palace, Huo Wencan stretched hard, twisted his neck a few times, and smiled with Li Qingning: "Hey, did you find it, the prince is in a good mood, what good news has he handed over for a while?" ”

"This year has been a good year...... It's better to hurry home first, take a good shower, and on the way, I have to sleep well, I'm tired to death. Li Qingning also stretched his waist, and before he finished stretching his waist, he yawned.

"Also, let's take a rest first, let's go to the Zhouqiao Night Market in the evening? Take your four sisters with you. Huo Wencan happily patted Li Qingning on the shoulder.

Li Qingning leaned at him, "It depends on whether the fourth sister is free, let's go back first." ”

The two were talking, and there were still about ten steps away from Donghua Gate, and Daqing, the son of the loyal and brave uncle, waved his arms, screamed, and rushed out of the guard room next to him.

"Third brother, third son, you're back! I really said that I came back today, I came back today, third brother, you are back, I have been looking for you for several days, this time, it annoys me, especially after you go back to my house, it annoys me. ”

Sun Daqing has not yet arrived, and a series of words have arrived first.

"If you have something to say, let's talk about it tomorrow, your third brother and I have been tired for several days, and I am tired, wait for me to have a good rest, and then we will talk well."

Li Qingning waved his hands in fear, and rushed forward with a quickened pace.

"Just a few words," Sun Daqing had already rushed forward, reached out and grabbed Li Qingning's arm, and followed him out, gushing endlessly, "It's the mess in our family, you all know the third brother, my father's annoying beard is almost gone, and my mother-in-law made another fuss yesterday."

Alas, third brother, you don't know, our family is simply a peaceful family, third brother, can you persuade your wife, let your mother-in-law persuade my mother-in-law? Look at this, right, I can't speak, third brother, you are knowledgeable, you know best, or you go back with me, you can persuade my wife for me, that ......"

"I'll talk about it later, and I'll get some sleep." Out of Donghua Gate, Huo Wencan stepped forward to block it, Li Qingning took the opportunity to get rid of Sun Daqing, hurriedly got on the horse, and ran away.

……………………

In the Jinghua Palace, the prince sat on the top couch, absentmindedly looking at the fold that Huo Wencan and Li Qingning had just handed over, flipped to the end, closed it, and checked it in his hand, his eyes narrowed slightly.

Although it was better for him to sit and watch, even if this matter had nothing to do with Lin Feng, he ......

The prince thought about it carefully, if this matter had nothing to do with Lin Feng, what would he do?

Well, now that I know, I can't help but mention a few words, a family has a hundred women, this is a bright and bright thing, this matter, it must be on the bright side.

Well, I have to let Huo Wencan, a stupid boy, know.

The prince looked at the middle-aged waiter standing next to him with his hands down, and the middle-aged waiter hurriedly stepped forward and bowed down.

"That day, when Cao Ming reported that his wife was about to marry the fourth lady of the Li family on his behalf, you were waiting next to him?" The prince looked at the middle-aged waiter.

"Yes." The middle-aged waiter should hang his head.

"Well, tell Huo Wencan about this, be tactful." The prince then commanded.

"Yes." The mid-year waiter should be again.

……………………

Huo Wencan and Li Qingning broke up, and while beating their horses and going back to the palace of Hejian County, they instructed the little maid: "Go and see if the fourth lady went out today, where did she go." ”

Zhan Jin agreed, and hurriedly motioned for Liuhe to personally bring someone to inquire.

Huo Wencan's little maid is capable, Huo Wencan just came out of his Aniangdu princess's courtyard, Liuhe has already inquired back, and came forward to report: "Hui Ye, the fourth lady and the sixth lady of the Wang family, the second lady of the Xie family, the two little ladies of the Cao family, and the eldest lady of our family, after lunch, I went to Yingxiang Pond to watch the prayer dance." ”

Huo Wencan's eyebrows suddenly fluttered, and he snorted happily, and while hurrying back to his courtyard, he ordered one after another, "Hurry up and wait for the bath, the master is going out, you go and watch again, see where they are, find a good place, go quickly!" ”
