Chapter Twenty-Three: I'm Not Rare
Ran Ying walked to Yuwentai's side, picked up the wine jug on the small table, poured him wine, poured a glass herself, sat down on the Pu Fang beside him, and drank it slowly.
Today's atmosphere was a little delicate, and Ran Ying sensitively sensed that Yuwentai's mood was different from before, so she clamped her tail tightly.
Yu Wentai didn't seem to care about her at all, and while looking down at the book in his hand, he asked casually, "What does Ah Ran think of Ji Kang?" ”
Ran Ying was stunned. As soon as she thought of Yushan's decline, he mentioned Ji Kang?
Yu Wentai held the book in his hand and read it slowly: "Ji Kang is seven feet eight inches long, and his demeanor is very good. The seeer sighed: 'Xiao Xiao is sober, hearty and clear'. Or clouds: 'Su Su is like the wind under the pine, high and Xu Yin'. Shan Gong said: 'Uncle Ji is also a man at night. The independence of rock rock like a lone pine; Its drunkenness is also, and the puppet Russian Jade Mountain will collapse. ’”
It turned out that he was reading "The World Speaks New Words". Ran Ying liked this book the most, she said: "The jade mountain is about to collapse, it's really fascinating...... When it comes to Wei and Jin demeanor, Uncle Ji should be second to none. ”
Yu Wentai raised his eyes and raised his eyebrows at her: "Oh? Ah Ran's evaluation of Ji Kang is so high? Isn't it because he's good-looking? ”
Ran Ying looked at the night sky outside the pavilion with her cheeks up, with a yearning expression: "Whether the ancients looked good or not, people today have no way of knowing." But he has a noble bearing, loves and hates clearly, is not afraid of the powerful, and is not as tainted as Pan An. This is the temperament of rock and pine. ”
Yu Wentai laughed and said, "He's too pedantic. What if he is as famous as Shantao Ruan, it will not affect the evaluation of future generations in the slightest. ”
Ran Ying shook his head: "A real scholar, his back must be straight, and it has nothing to do with the evaluation of future generations, this is his own requirement for himself." ”
Yu Wentai disagreed: "If talented people in this world are like him and refuse to be outstanding, how can the country and the people be safe?" ”
Ran Ying sneered: "If the kings of all dynasties are as virtuous as King Wen of Zhou, won't the people of the world compete for assistance?" ”
Yu Wentai choked, then laughed and said, "King Zhou Wen." Ah Ran, Lone remembered your words. ”
The two maids standing behind him looked at each other and smiled again. Every time I come to Puyuan with this girl named Ah Ran, Lang Jun's mood seems to be very good.
Ran Ying was puzzled and looked at him with a pair of big eyes.
Yuwentai also looked at her with a smile, thinking, this night is really interesting, he Yuwentai will actually sit opposite a little girl and talk about the way to govern the country.
He had the heart to tease her, put down the book and pulled the corners of his mouth to smile, and asked slowly: "By the way, speaking of the back of the scholar...... Ah Ran still owes me a big favor, so cheeky and not ready to pay it back? Isn't the back of a scholar straight? ”
The expression on Ran Ying's face froze. It's this handle, he can't turn over if he holds it to death. She thought for a moment and decided to say something big, so she lowered her head and said, "Childe's great kindness, Ran Ying doesn't dare to forget." He has become rich and rich, and he will want to reciprocate. ”
Yuwentai couldn't help laughing when he heard her say so much: "If you get rich? With Ah Ran, how can a little woman be rich? ”
Business? Joining? Isn't a woman's riches all dependent on her father, brother, and beloved? This fatherless, motherless, brotherless, and brotherless Ah Ran, if he wants to be rich, I'm afraid there is really only one way to go.
"Ah Ran," Yu Wentai narrowed his eyes, leaned on the couch and looked at her pretty little face with interest, and said slowly, "If you want to be rich, you can cling to me." I will give you as much wealth as you want. He pointed to the two maids behind him: "Look at them, they are just maids in one of my private gardens, and their lives are much better than ordinary girls." ”
The two maids chuckled. It's so interesting to listen to Lang Jun talking to this Ah Ran. They never knew that Lang Jun, who had always been tight-faced and silent, would also have leisure and ease to tease girls like this.
Ran Ying looked at him, and shook her head with a smile: "Ran Ying doesn't want to be a maid." Don't mention it again, Childe. ”
"Oh?" Yu Wentai couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard it, and the smile on his face became a little thicker. Since he does not want to be a servant, he must have greater ambitions. He asked, "How about taking you as a concubine?" ”
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the two maids widened in surprise. Childe would suddenly mention taking a concubine!
Yuwentai smiled at the corner of his lips, leaned on the couch and looked at Ran Ying quietly, waiting for her to answer.
Are you satisfied? Giving him a concubine is undesirable for many middle- and lower-class scholars in Chang'an City. Like A Ran, who has no father, no mother, no family and no power, he was frustrated in his marriage to Yu Ziqing before, and he must have understood the truth of being the right person. Now that he has Yuwentai's promise, there should be no more other requests.
Xianbei people do not attach as much importance to the distinction between descendants and concubines as the Han people, and when they set up heirs, they mostly do not establish heirs. Therefore, even if it is just a concubine, just give birth to a son as soon as possible to maintain the status for a lifetime.
Unexpectedly, the smile on Ah Ran's face gradually faded. She shook her head slightly: "Gongzi's concubine, Ah Ying doesn't need it." ”
The two maids were even more surprised and looked at each other. There was a woman who rejected him to his face. Does she really know that he is the dragon and phoenix among people, one in a million?
Ran Ying's answer was also unexpected by Yuwentai. He became more interested and asked, "What does Ah Ran want?" "Is there anything in this world that he can't give Yuwentai?
During these days, Yu Wentai is interested in teasing her in every way, and his heart has come up, in addition to his wife, in this world, what rare and rare treasures, as long as she says, he can find a way to give.
Ran Ying got up and walked in front of him, Ying Ying fell to the ground and said, "Ran Ying wants to say goodbye to Gongzi." ”
Yuwentai was taken aback again. This little guy is very tricky, and every time his heart goes up and down. He was a little displeased, his face darkened, and he asked in a deep voice, "Why do you want to say goodbye to Lonely?" ”
Ran Ying knelt on the ground and said, "Since Gongzi knows Ran Ying's origin, he also knows Ran Ying's secret. Although Gongzi does not want this secret to appear, Ran Ying, as the last person of the Ran family, must find out this secret. ”
Ran Ying didn't do it on a whim. When she came back from Yufu last night, Ran Ying thought about it for a long time. She is now relying on Yuwentai to settle in Qingsong Academy, but after all, she can't hide in the academy all the time. What's more, the longer you are cared for by him, the more unclear the involvement with him, in the end, how to repay it?
And how did he want her to pay it back?
Yuwentai's face was gloomy and he was silent for a long time. He didn't expect that she would say goodbye to him as soon as she opened her mouth and plunge into this troubled world alone.
She didn't need him. Anything he gave couldn't move her heart.
After all, she is different from those delicate princes and nobles who were born in a high-ranking family.
He asked, "The world is so big, how are you going to find it?" ”
Ran Ying fell to the ground and said, "When my grandmother sent me away that day, she left a clue. But the direction is not clear, and I have always been quite puzzled. So I'm going to go to the Tongguan area first. ”
She had heard that the green hills in the area of Tongguan were majestic, and if she visited the vicinity, she might be able to know where the painting was.
Yu Wentai almost said: "You can't go there, there may be a war in Tongguan in the near future." However, it was a secret of the military plane, and he couldn't reveal half a word to her. can only say: "Why do you want to go to Tongguan?" It's a military location, and it's dangerous. ”
Ran Ying said: "The clues left by my grandmother may point to Tongguan. I'm going to check it out. ”
Yu Wentai was helpless, stood up and walked up to her, stretched out his hand to stroke her hair, and whispered to her: "Be more careful." ”
As he spoke, he sighed helplessly.
Originally, he wanted to say goodbye to her and go to the battlefield. The big war is coming, and for no reason I really want to see her.
