Chapter 189: The Way Passes Lightly
Hearing this, Lan Ling'er was also relieved, not that she was making too much of a fuss, but that at this time, she was already overwhelmed and could no longer see anyone around her being hurt.
When everyone came to the bustling neighborhood, dream-like lights spread around, and colorful lanterns were hung everywhere, rendering the smiles on everyone's faces more and more bright. In the crowd, Luo Yan carefully protected Lan Ling'er, Yi Xue and Yi Shuang had already been attracted by the prosperity of the surrounding areas.
Came to a mask stall, all kinds of masks were complete, dazzling, caressing with her bare hands, Lan Ling'er picked one up with a smile, turned around, and saw Luo Yan's smiling eyes, his eyes turned slightly, and quickly attached to his handsome face. Luo Yan also let her play around, and the owner of the stall rarely saw such a pair of jade-like people, and his face was already full of smiles.
"Miss, there's a pair here, just right for you."
Following the boss's gaze, Lan Ling'er saw a pair of white masks lying in the corner, not as gorgeous as others, as if they were forgotten pearls, admiring the beauty of themselves alone.
Frowning slightly, Lan Ling'er smiled and asked, "Why is this one not colored?" ”
The boss chuckled and explained, "This was originally a piece of basswood that I got by accident, and I wanted to color it, but it seems that I can't describe any other color anyway." So let it be. It's a rarity to think about, after all, I've never seen basswood like this for most of my life, so I've always taken it with me. ”
Lan Ling'er chuckled lightly, and took the white mask, plain and elegant, but with a little moistness, the surface is bright and comfortable, but I don't know where I got such a good basswood. "Where did you get this?"
"It's just that I was doing business at the junction with Nanchuan that year, and I found it in a forest." The boss's eyes were in a trance, obviously it had been many years ago.
Lan Ling'er didn't pursue it, but she just thought that this basswood was so strange, so she handed over the slightly larger one to Luo Yan, and got another one for herself, and said with a smile: "It's exactly one for each person." ”
Luo Yan had a doting chuckle on his face, left a silver ingot for the boss, and left. It's just that the moment she turned around, the loss in Lan Ling'er's eyes was not noticed in the bright and dim light.
When they returned to the inn, the group laughed and laughed for a long time, and when they arrived at the door, everyone retracted their smiles, Luo Yan and Lan Ling'er glanced at each other, and they both saw a trace of surprise in each other's eyes. In just an instant, the two of them were back to normal.
Luo Yan glanced at the uninvited guests in the room, with alienation on his indifferent face, "I don't know who Your Excellency is?" ”
The middle-aged man who was originally sitting in the hall saw Luo Yan, his eyes flashed, he knelt down instantly, and said respectfully: "The lower official is Li Guangxuan, the prefect of the city, I don't know that the prince of Yan is here, and he has missed the welcome, please forgive me!" ”
Hearing this, Luo Yan glanced at the people kneeling down in the hall, frowned slightly, glanced at Lan Ling'er helplessly, and said lightly: "Get up!" ”
Seeing that the prefect stood up tremblingly, he arched his hand towards Lan Ling'er with a smile, and said, "Presumably this is the eldest lady of the Lan Mansion, disrespectful and disrespectful." ”
"The villain has prepared a wing room for the two of you, please move to the cheap mansion."
A trace of coldness in Lan Ling'er's eyes flashed away, but she also hid it instantly, glanced at Luo Yan with a smile, and replied: "Since the prefect is ready, it seems that it is too unkind for us not to go." ”
But seeing that Li Guangxuan was slightly stunned, the smile on his face became brighter and brighter, and he smiled and said, "This is a matter within the duties of the lower officials." ”
Lan Ling'er and Luo Yan came to the Li Mansion Wing, a clean and new place, fresh and comfortable, and a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of Lan Ling'er's mouth, "It seems that they have long known our whereabouts." Stroking the black wood table and chair on the side, Lan Ling'er said softly.
Luo Yan frowned slightly, "We didn't deliberately hide our whereabouts, we just changed our clothes, we didn't make such a big fuss, and it was normal to be tracked down." ”
"Miss Qiyu, childe, my lord invites you to the front hall for dinner." A voice outside interrupted their conversation, Lan Ling'er and Luo Yan glanced at each other, and the two laughed silently.
"Go back to your master, we'll be there in a moment." Luo Yan said lightly.
Lan Ling'er quipped: "Why don't you just have fun here?" ”
saw Luo Yan raise his eyebrows lightly and said, "Why not." ”
The two left one after another, and only then did they arrive in the front hall, all eyes were cast on the two of them, Lan Ling'er maintained an indifferent smile, but she already knew in her heart that this prefect was not very easy to deal with.
After some greetings, Lan Ling'er and Luo Yan took their seats, but when they sat down, they felt a blazing gaze, looked left and right, and found that the other party not only did not dodge or avoid a pair of shining eyes, but smiled lightly at Lan Ling'er.
With a smile in return, Lan Ling'er secretly observed. This woman can sit under the prefect, she must be extraordinary, the turquoise dress can wear a different flavor, the hair is lightly pulled, and the light temperament is like a fresh bamboo leaf, which makes people's hearts refreshed.
The people who came were all local wealthy families, and everyone chatted with each other, and their eyes glanced at Luo Yan from time to time, but when they saw Luo Yan's light eyes, they retreated.
"I don't want you to be the prince of a country." A clear voice came, Lan Ling'er looked up, and saw the woman looking at Luo Yan with a smile on her face.
Looking sideways, seeing Luo Yan as if she was here, she introduced: "This is Li Qingwu, the daughter of the prefect." ”
Li Qingwu saw the tacit interaction between Luo Yan and Lan Ling'er, a trace of gloom flashed in his eyes, but it was only for an instant, and he put on a flawless smile and waited silently. Luo Yan picked up the cup in his hand, with an indifferent and alienated smile on the corner of his mouth, and said, "I don't want you to be the daughter of the prefect." ”
Li Qingwu raised her eyebrows slightly, smiled but did not speak. drank all the wine in his hand, then poured himself again, and said to Lan Ling'er: "Miss Lan is really a national beauty and a beautiful temperament, no wonder she is famous all over the world." ”
"The reason why Ling'er is famous all over the world is not just because of her appearance." Luo Yan exited.
The simple words made Li Qingwu's eyes flash with consternation, Luo Yan, whom she knew, had never cared about other people's affairs, let alone spoke for others. But he was instantly relieved, and it seemed that the rumors were true.
Lan Ling'er glanced at Luo Yan gratefully, then picked up the wine glass with a smile, and said lightly: "Luo Yan is exaggerating. ”
Li Qingwu glanced at Lan Ling'er meaningfully, then turned around and left.
"Old knowledge?" Lan Ling'er asked softly. She always felt that this woman was different, and her eyes revealed a different color, which made people uncomfortable to look at.
Luo Yan replied: "I had a relationship, but I didn't know that she was the daughter of the prefect." ”
Raising her eyebrows, Lan Ling'er didn't ask, this Qingyang City prefect has no son, and her only daughter is Li Qingwu, it is rumored that she is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but she rarely appears in front of outsiders, which makes the men in Qingyang City salivate, but it is rare to see the last one.
Today, the people who went to the banquet were all family backgrounds with status in the city, and it was inevitable to look at Li Qingwu twice, thinking that it was them, and it was rare to see Li Qingwu.
Li Guangxuan's face was full of smiles, and he said, "Young Master Yan doesn't know if he is satisfied?" There will be singing and dancing for a while, and I hope you can enjoy it. ”
Lan Ling'er's eyes turned slightly, and everyone present focused on Luo Yan, except for Li Qingwu, who seemed to be an outsider, drinking and eating by himself. A flash of deep thought flashed in her eyes, and Lan Ling'er said softly, "It's okay to take a look." ”
Hearing this, Luo Yan was slightly surprised, but he also smiled and nodded. For a while, the scene was a little relaxed, singing and dancing, with local characteristics, no worse than in the capital.
After a while, I saw Li Guangxuan say to his daughter: "It's rare for Yan Gongzi to pass by here today, since you and he are old acquaintances, I will also play a song today, because my father is not very proficient in music, I don't know what your level is, and those people outside are more or less affected by your identity, just right, now let Yan Gongzi make a judgment." ”
As he spoke, he saw Li Guangxuan looking at Luo Yan with a smile and said, "I wonder if Young Master Yan can deign to listen?" ”
Seeing the consternation and envy on the faces of everyone present, Li Qingwu on the opposite side was still as light as ever, but the hand serving the wine stopped at his mouth and refused to push it in. A glimmer of light flashed in Lan Ling'er's eyes, and without waiting for Luo Yan to speak, she smiled and said, "It is an honor for me and Yan to hear Ling Qianjin's song. ”
As he spoke, he saw her pulling the sleeves of Luo Yan's coat and said jokingly: "I don't know if you also like to provoke peach blossoms?" ”
"Oh..." Luo Yan raised his eyebrows and said, "Also?" It seems that I am not the only one! It was originally a joking remark, but before it came out, Luo Yan paused. Seeing Lan Ling'er's slightly stunned face, a trace of guilt flashed in her eyes.
"I originally thought that Miss Lan should be a pair with Mu Shizi, but I didn't want to secretly agree to Yan Gongzi." Seeing Lan Ling'er and Luo Yan talking privately, Li Guangxuan couldn't help but speak.
It's just that before the words fell, he received Luo Yan's cold eyes, and he couldn't help but shudder, and a smile appeared on his face, as if he had not intended it. Luo Yan had already looked away, turned to Lan Ling'er, and asked, "Will you be tired?" Otherwise, go back and rest. ”
Tenderness is nothing more than that, Luo Yan's words suddenly blocked all doubts and hints.
Lan Ling'er chuckled, caught a glimpse of Li Qingwu, who was about to get up and sit on the side, looking at them in a daze, shook his head, and said, "It's okay." ”
Seeing this, Li Guangxuan didn't dare to say more, a trace of darkness flashed in his eyes, but he instantly changed his smile and said, "Since this is the case, Qingwu, don't hurry up and play a song for Yan Gong." ”
Hearing this, Li Qingwu slowly stood up, and the maid on the side had already prepared the piano, the whole body was green, but the strings were fiery red, weird but enchanting, as if it was green leaves with red flowers. It's just that it's all transparent, and everyone here is amazed.
I don't know who was shocked and said, "Bi Xuanqin! It's actually Bixuanqin, which has disappeared for a long time! ”
Lan Ling'er glanced at Luo Yan and said, "She is a woman from the rivers and lakes?" ”
Luo Yan chuckled, shook his head and nodded, and said lightly: "It can be said that it is not." ”
Raising her eyebrows, Lan Ling'er had a hint of interest in her eyes, so that the rest of the trip became more and more interesting.
