Chapter 55: Temptation II
"It looks obscure, but once you read it well, you will feel that it is endlessly interesting, Lan'er, if you don't believe it, you go to the bookshelf and bring the book "The Art of War", and give your father a good explanation for you."
When Xu Lan heard this, she couldn't help but set her eyes on the bookshelf, only to see her look over, and immediately discovered the true intentions of Xu Wangye, the "Art of War" is next to the "Tao Te Ching", and the "Tao Te Ching" is naturally the switch to open the secret room.
It seems that Xu Wangye is indeed suspicious.
However, Xu Lan's face did not show the slightest expression.
Xu Lan walked generously to the bookshelf, took the book "The Art of War" Sun Tzu's Art of War off the bookshelf, flipped through a few pages casually, raised his head again, and said to Xu Wangye: "Father, my daughter really can't do it, father, my daughter really can't read it, looking at the content inside, it's really a headache." ”
What about Lord Xu? Ever since Xu Lan started walking towards the bookshelf, his eyes were staring at Xu Lan behind him, wanting to see what Xu Lan's reaction was.
But Xu Lan was just the target, and she walked accurately to the book "The Art of War", and she didn't take a second look at the book next to her. When Xu Wangye saw such a scene and heard the question Xu Lan asked, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "You, your heart is too impetuous." You just look at it a few times, naturally you will not find the mystery of this, you should calm down, take a good look at it, it is better to do this, in the future, you will come to my study every day, sit down a little, if there is anything that will not, just ask my father and me. ”
When Xu Lan heard this, she frowned pretending to be distressed, and said: "Father, you can spare me, I originally had to go to my mother every afternoon to learn about housekeeping, if I pick out time again, father, what art of war do you learn here, then my daughter is probably ten brains, and it is not enough." ”
Xu Wangye looked at the coquettish Xu Lan in front of him, couldn't help but smile, and said: "Okay, okay, I know that you are most afraid of these things, no matter what, there is no good result if you force it, in the future, you should slowly understand it yourself." ”
Xu Wangye just said that, it was just to test Xu Lan, she didn't have that kung fu, what to teach Xu Lan "The Art of War" every day, since Xu Lan was unwilling, he would naturally agree.
However, it seems that this daughter of mine still has some ability.
"Hey, father, you still have a copy of "Morality" here, I didn't expect that my father had been fighting in the field for decades, and he actually believed in Huang Lao's technique?" Xu Wangye was still thinking about what he should do to let his daughter show his fox tail, but he suddenly heard Xu Lan's voice. As soon as he heard this, Prince Xu couldn't help but widen his eyes.
Xu Wangye hurriedly raised his head and looked, and actually saw his daughter, who was actually interested in the "Tao Te Ching", and even stretched out his hand to take down the book!
"No!" Before Wang Ye Xu had time to think about it, he had already been born with a loud roar, and then Wang Ye Xu stepped forward quickly and took Xu Lan's hand from the "Tao Te Ching".
Xu Lan couldn't help but be taken aback, and then, tears stretched out from her eyes.
"Father...... Father...... Is it the daughter who did something wrong? Xu Lan looked at her father pitifully. It's just that, as for whether Xu Lan is smiling in her heart, no one knows.
And at this moment, Prince Xu also greeted him, and just overreacted, only to see him cough unnaturally, and said: "Ahem, no, daughter, there is nothing wrong with you, it is your father's own problem." “
After saying this, Xu Wangye's face couldn't help but feel more embarrassed, and he said sullenly: "Father, in the end, he is a great general, how can he believe in Huang Lao's technique, it's just that he put such a stupid "Tao Te Ching" here and be vigilant about himself, on the contrary, his father hates it the most, Huang Lao's technique, just now hi was afraid of your daughter, and when you saw this tree, you went astray, so your tone was a little heavier." “
Xu Lan listened to her father's clumsy words, and couldn't help but despise in her heart, what "went astray", what "to be a wake-up", such a clumsy excuse is also due to you to make it up.
It's just that these words can only be said in my heart, and Xu Lan's face still has a look of sudden realization: "I see, I never thought that my father would have such an idea, but my daughter was abrupt, and my father was worried." ”
When Xu Wang Ye heard Xu Lan say this, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of hunger and said, "It's okay, then you are the youngest daughter's family after all, there are many things you don't know, and you are also quiet." ”
When he said these words, Xu Wangye really put down a big stone in his heart, since it was, Xu Lan was willing, and he took the initiative to say this "Tao Te Ching", which also proved that his own heart was frank and open, and perhaps, he was suspicious.
Thinking of this, Prince Xu said to Xu Lan: "Okay, I called you over today to untie your heart knot, enter, why don't you father and daughter, it can be regarded as a release of the previous suspicions, your mother, I haven't seen you for a day today, I know that you are here with me, you go quickly, please say hello to your mother, don't let him continue to worry." ”
When Xu Lan heard Xu Wangye say this, she knew that she had successfully passed the test, and at the moment, her heart was also a lot more relaxed, and Xu Lan saluted Xu Wangye and said, "Since this is the case, my daughter will retire first." Immediately after, Xu Lan walked out of this dangerous study.
After the study, Xu Lan was surprised to find that it was already evening, and Xu Lan suddenly had a feeling of time confusion.
And Baizhu, who has been waiting for her young lady outside, has long been scared, but Miss, since she entered the catalog of Prince Xu's study, has been quiet, only occasionally, there are one or two sounds of crying, hearing this voice, Baizhu is even more worried in her heart.
Therefore, after seeing that the young lady of his family finally came out of the study, Baizhu immediately stepped forward and supported the young lady of his family.
"Miss, miss, but what's the matter? Miss, you don't have anything to do? The lord didn't embarrass you, did he? Baizhu asked in a loud voice.
Even, Baizhu also looked up and down, and his own young lady, after making sure that Miss had nothing to do, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Xu Lan looked at her maid, the expression on her face was always a worried expression, and after seeing that she was fine, she breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but laugh, but her heart was also a little bit of a feeling.
"It's nothing, my father called me over today, it's just that I'm angry for a few things." Xu Lan said slowly.
"Whew, that's good, that's good, you don't know, miss, I'm almost worried to death!" Baizhu said exaggeratedly, patting his chest.
When Xu Lan saw such a white art, she couldn't help but smile and said, "What are you afraid of, Zuo, that is, I was scolded and beaten by my father, and I won't hit you, scolded you, you little girl, what is there to be afraid of?" ”
When Baizhu heard this, he was not happy, and said angrily, "How can you say this? I grew up with Miss, and I have such a good relationship with Miss, hitting Miss is hitting me, as for scolding Miss, that is scolding myself, how can I be fine? Miss, if you say this again, the slave will not be happy! After speaking, he pursed his mouth angrily.
Xu Lan looked at such Baizhu, as if she was alive again, and she felt the feeling of the capital of the world, not, just like just now, in that study, what she felt was only depression and fear.
Thinking like this, Xu Lan's face finally revealed, a smile in the true sense of the word today, and said to Baizhu; "You, you're just a little ponyass, I can't beat you, I can only hope, my little ponyass, don't be angry with me." After speaking, he also glanced at Baizhu teasingly.
When Baizhu saw his young lady's eyes, his face couldn't help but flush, and he said angrily; "Miss! You'll be happy with that slave! ”
When Xu Lan saw the huffing Baizhu, she did laugh directly, and the two of them giggled and laughed, and after a long time, Xu Lan began to talk about business.
"Don't talk about this first, I came to my father's study early in the morning, and my mother has not yet gone to ask for peace, you and I will go to my mother's place and meet my mother."
Baizhu naturally agreed, and said: "This is because of this, Miss, you don't know in the study, Mrs. sent someone to the study to find Miss, and he came three times, but the people outside the master's study did not report it, saying that the old man also had instructions not to let anyone in." Otherwise, the slave wouldn't be so worried, even if, last time, Miss, you were punished by the master, and this time it was so terrible. ”
Baizhu was unhappy chattering, Xu Lan heard this, and really couldn't help but feel a chill down her spine, it turned out that he did participate in a Hongmen banquet today, if it wasn't for himself, at the end of the day, he took the initiative to mention the "Tao Te Ching", and then washed away his suspicions, I'm afraid, I can't get out today, right?
"But fortunately, miss, you are safe and sound, and you are also a master, and you don't want others to disturb you, right? Baizhu is still babbling somewhere.
"However, Miss, you really should, go and explain to Madame, Madame sent someone to find Mademoiselle today, three times, if it weren't for the slave maid to stop her, Madame would have come to you in person, Mademoiselle, you know, Madame's health has not been very good, and she will never be able to come out of Jianfeng." Miss, let's go quickly, so that Madame can rest assured. ”
