In the study of Shang Shuling's Mansion, Yu Wentai leaned against the small table, and He Louqi stood in front of him, reporting to him the situation of the recent investigation.

The study was brightly lit, and the smell of burning candles was faintly wafting around.

"There is news from the east, that A-Ying is indeed a descendant of the Ran family, called Ran Ying. A-Ying is her compatriot Agan. Gao Huan had spent a lot of effort to buy a member of the Ran clan before, and that person confessed that A-Ying knew the whereabouts of the jade seal of the heirloom country. In order to get the jade seal, Gao Huan tortured A-Ying to the point that he died tragically in prison. It's a pity that Gao Huan didn't get anything. I heard that Na A-Ying did not say a word until he died. He Louqi simply and quickly explained the situation he had discovered.

"Oh?" Yu Wentai was surprised. She, a little woman, actually escaped from Gao Huan's net.

"What about the boy who was so close to her? Whose son? He asked again.

"The young man's name is Yu Ziqing, he is Yu Jin's Anu, and he came to Chang'an with Yu Jin. Since Yu moved to Chang'an, he has been studying at Qingsong Academy. I heard that Ran wrote a handwritten letter from Yu Jin and recommended him to the academy. ”

"Really?" Yuwentai was surprised again. There was too much unexpected news that He Louqi brought today. Ran's went to Qingsong Academy, and it was actually recommended by Yu Jin?

Could it be that this Yu Ziqing also has some purpose in approaching Ran Ying?

"Is there any news about the jade seal of the country?" He pressed again.

"There is no new news right now. It shouldn't be on Ran's either. The subordinates will continue to investigate. ”

"Hmm." Yu Wentai nodded in agreement and said, "Keep an eye on her." Na A-Ying didn't say a word until she died, which was quite abnormal. Since Ran is his sister, she may also know the whereabouts of the jade seal. You must keep an eye on her, and you can't let her fall into anyone's hands. ”

He didn't say a word until he died, and he was a hard bone. That gesture really seems to be guarding some secret.

"Yes!" He Lou Qi responded, rolled his eyes, and said: "Shang Shuling, when I was inquiring about the details of the Ran clan recently, I also learned about a rather interesting Fengyue incident, but after thinking about it, this matter may have another knowing. ”

Listening to He Louqi's mysterious tone, Yuwentai's nervous mind suddenly relaxed. He straightened up from the square and grinned, "Tell me about it." ”

He Louqi covered his smile and said, "Yu Ziqing loves Yu Ran's family, and Shang Shuling should see this matter." ”

Yuwentai glanced at him: "I don't have the spare time to take care of these young people's affairs." ”

He Louqi choked, paused, and then said: "A few days ago, Yu Ziqing told the Ran family that he wanted to marry her and enter the door. ”

"What?!" Yu Wentai frowned and pondered this matter carefully.

This bastard's Yu Jin actually used him to make a beautiful man? If Yu Ziqing really married the Ran family, then she really brought a big dowry into the door!

He frowned and muttered, "Could it be that Yu Jin is also eyeing the jade seal......"

It is not difficult to judge that this marriage is not the right door, if Yu Jin agrees, it is intended for the jade seal. If he is against it, he is not aware of it.

But if you wait until then, I'm afraid it's too late. Yuwentai naturally has other ideas.

He Louqi said: "Yu Jin has not yet let go of his agreement, and he seems to not know about the jade seal. However, he has loved him as an Anu since he was a child, and he is afraid that he can't afford to grind and bubble. ”

"The Ran family actually made a private agreement with that Yu Ziqing for life?" Yu Wentai muttered to himself lightly. He was a little dissatisfied, these teenagers didn't think about studying hard all day long, and they thought about some things like the snow!

The small flame of this marriage must be completely extinguished.

Yu Wentai thought so, and the sly eyes of the woman who looked up at him in the carriage that day came to mind.

God knows, earth knows?

The corners of Yuwentai's mouth couldn't hide the smile.

A few days later, after school, Ran Ying went into the city alone to buy pen and ink, walked to a shop on Xingguan Street to buy the four treasures of the study, and carefully picked it back and forth.

The wolf pen of Xuancheng, the gargling gold of Qianyang County, the silver paper and celadon beads of She County, the selection of materials is exquisite, the workmanship is fine, and everything is really good...... But she couldn't afford it either.

On weekdays, Ziqing bought these things for her, but a few days ago, Riqing was suddenly picked up by her family, and she has not returned to the academy yet, and she doesn't know what important things are at home.

After looking back and forth for a while, she saw that the stall owner was getting impatient, so she hastily chose two of the cheapest local wolf wolves.

Pretending not to see the disgusted eyes of the shopkeeper, Ran Ying was about to pay, when she suddenly felt someone approaching behind her, blocking the sunlight shining on her back and enveloping her in the shadows.

Ran Ying instinctively turned around, and when she saw the person behind her, she stiffened.

Isn't this the mysterious noble man in the carriage that day? Why is he here?

I saw him combing his thin braided hair, neatly tied behind his head, which was a unique cord of hair for Xianbei people. He wore a coarse cloth beard with lapels, a cowhide belt around his waist, many buckles on his belt, and a pair of cowhide boots on his feet.

deliberately dressed in disguise, just like the strong and upright Hu people who walked by in this street market.

Ran Ying was a little surprised. Did he pass by by accident? It's also too weird. Since Emperor Xiaowen reformed and implemented sinicization, although some people still wear Hu clothes, there are few people who still comb their hair so solemnly.

It turned out to be a Xianbei magnate...... Ran Ying thought secretly.

Before Ran Ying could speak, he looked at the pen she had chosen and spoke first: "Tut-tut, the students of Qingsong Academy are so shabby, and it is really a shame for Qingsong Academy to buy such a poor pen." ”

When the shopkeeper heard this, he couldn't help but show an expression of approval.

How did Ran Ying glance at him, and said unashamedly: "Zhuge Wuhou once said that quietness is self-cultivation, and thrift is to cultivate virtue." How can you be extravagant and wasteful and extravagant because of your family's big business? ”

Yo, that's pretty sharp.

"Virtue?" Yu Wentai squinted at her and said slowly, "I see that you came to the subset of scriptures and history with all kinds of allusions, and it seems that you have learned well in the academy." So when it comes to virtue, I don't know if you know the extremely virtuous Ban Zhao of the Eastern Han Dynasty? ”

Ran Ying's face darkened, she coughed twice in embarrassment, retracted the hand that was stretched out to pay, and said to the shopkeeper, "I'm sorry, I'll come back another day." ”

He mentioned Ban Zhao to her to remind her of her virtues. Ban Zhao's "Female Commandment" is popular so far, not to mention Han women, even Xianbei women are now learning from it.

Ban Zhao said: The way of obedience is also the great gift of women;

Ban Zhao said: Women's words, there is no need to argue;

Ban Zhao said: Idleness and chastity, keeping festivals neatly, acting shamefully, and moving quietly are women's virtues.

He was laughing at her for dressing up as a man, for her sharp teeth, for being in a car with him and for saying something that God knows.

Seeing that Ran Ying's cat was about to slip away. But I heard the man say behind him: "The best pen and ink in the store, give this little Langjun a set." ”

Ran Ying looked back in surprise and saw that he reached out and took out a small silver ingot from his arms and threw it into the shopkeeper's arms.

The surprise fell from the sky, and the shopkeeper happily took the finest Zhuge pen and Li Tingqi ink, wrapped it carefully in oiled paper, and ran out, handing it to Ran Ying with a smile: "This son is generous, Xiao Langjun can take it." ”

Ran Ying's face sank, and she walked up to Yu Wentai with the oil paper bag, handed her hands in front of him, and said, "No merit is not rewarded, students can't ask for it." ”

The shopkeeper who was so anxious on the side hurriedly said to Yuwentai: "Childe, the things in the small store will not be refunded if they are sold!" ”

Yuwentai didn't look at him, only looked at Ran Ying with a smile, and said, "Look at your shabby, this little thing can be regarded as Lu?" ”

Ran Ying lowered her head with a dark face, and said in a muffled voice: "Anyway, I can't ask for it." This one is too precious. ”

He looked at her with a smile for a while, then bent down and whispered in her ear, "If you don't want to make meritorious contributions, I'll give you a chance." ”
