You can already feel the heat of early summer in May, but fortunately, it rained on the seventh day, which dropped the temperature quite a bit.

Chang'an City seems to have been infected by these two huge funerals, and the teahouses and restaurants are much quieter than before.

Mrs. Tai's body had to be transported back to Lanling for burial, and there was no delay for a moment, so Ling Xiang's death was temporarily put on hold.

Xiao Song and Ran Yan are no exception to need to go together, after Mrs. Tai was buried, taking advantage of the hot filial piety period, let Ran Yan worship the ancestral hall, and then officially be regarded as a member of the Xiao family.

If Xiao Song wants to support the coffin, he must follow the coffin, and Ran Yan is followed by Xiao's 'women'. The weather is hot, and the coffin can't stay on the road for a long time, so it is necessary to ensure safety while hurrying, and it is needless to say that the journey is hard.

Ran Yan was more relaxed than Xiao Song, she was like other 'women', sitting in the carriage, more relaxed than Xiao Song.

The orchid is the incense of the holy king, and the mausoleum is the highland. The meaning of Lanling refers to the highland full of orchid flowers.

After arriving in Lanling, I really did not disappoint Ran Yan, the orchid 'flowers' are clustered in the vast and vast forest, and the elegant fragrance is everywhere, and the place that catches the eye is even more beautiful.

The Xiao family's mansion is not crowded on Canglan County, but is built near such a highland, around the ancestral hall and the main house, there are hundreds of families around, as if it has become a village. All the people who live here are surnamed Xiao, except for the one where Xiao Song is located, which is the most noble descendant, and the others can also be found on the Xiao family tree, and most of them have not yet come out of the five suits.

Today, the clan has never started classes, and senior monks have been invited to recite scriptures for Emperor Xiaoming and Empress Xuanhui (Mrs. Tai) in front of the mausoleum, and all the children of the Xiao family have to take turns to go over.

As soon as Xiao Song was replaced, he took Ran Yan around the neighborhood.

The scale of the Xiao family's genealogy is very large, occupying more than 20 acres of land, built on the slope closest to the highland, surrounded by purple, blue and white orchids.

Entering the genealogy, Ran Yan couldn't help but sigh in his heart, no wonder the Xiao family can be "the son of heaven of the two dynasties, the prime minister of the nine Xiao"! The entire Xiao family lives in the two places where the most 'flowering' thoughts are the ancestral hall and the other is the family science.

The huge hall is very empty, and the portraits of the emperors of the Xiao family are hung on the walls of the north, and the left and right sides are more than 30 prime ministers from the Xiao family. Beneath each portrait is a bookshelf with the writings of all the people in it, and the political deeds of the time.

Ran Yan walked down in a circle, the shock in his heart was really incomprehensible, if he was a child of the Xiao family, looking at these ancestors who stood like monuments, he should be sincerely proud, with such a 'exciting' encouragement, how can he not forge ahead!

Ran Yan knew that in the future history of the Tang Dynasty, in addition to Xiao, there would be eight prime ministers of the Xiao family who would appear on the stage of history one after another.

After "Wang Xie Yuan Xiao" entered the Tang Dynasty, only the Xiao family was still so prominent. Sure enough, attaching importance to education is a strong foundation!

Xiao Song suddenly dragged Ran Yan to kneel on the futon by the north wall, and said loudly, "The ancestors of the Xiao family, this is Xiao Yuezhi's wife!" ”

In the empty lobby, Xiao Song's mellow stiffness with a faint echo was quite imposing, even though Ran Yan had always been calm, he was taken aback by his sudden voice, "Xiao Yuezhi, what kind of nerves are you!" ”

Xiao Song smiled brightly, and quickly lowered his head and dropped a 'kiss' on her forehead, "When we are all old, let's go back to Lanling?" ”

"Okay." Ran Yan pushed him away, but his mouth answered his words.

The two of them took a turn in the ethnology and continued to walk uphill.

When you reach the top of the slope, there is an open space in front of you, and the orchid flowers are clustered, and when you connect them, it looks like a sea of orchids, and the large open space is full of fragrance and lingers for a long time.

Standing on it, you can also look down on the ethnography and the village, the carved eaves and arches, and the corners of the house are flying, all of which are hidden in the green trees, which is extremely beautiful.

"That piece is the forest of the clan, and the mountain behind it, although it is not high, but ordinary people can't enter from there." Xiao Song pointed to the dense forest road.

Taking advantage of Ran Yan's gaze, Xiao Song took off his run and laid it on a flat stone, "Let's rest for a while." ”

Ran Yan sat down and asked him, "You haven't slept since last night, aren't you sleepy?" ”

"Sleepy." Xiao Song sat next to her and said with a smile, "But I'm afraid we will go back to Chang'an in a few days, originally said that we were going to Guanshan, but it didn't materialize, there is a beautiful scenery here, let's make up for it for the time being." ”

Xiao Song's every move seems to be very unruly, but it is surprisingly free and easy, and it looks extremely pleasing to the eye, which is much more comfortable than Xiao Ruizhi's board at a glance. Ran Yan thought.

"Lie down for a while." Ran Yan patted his 'legs'.

"Such a beautiful scenery, such a beautiful woman......" Xiao Song took advantage of the situation and lay down, buried his face in her abdomen, and sniffed hard, "Yan Yan tastes better than 'flower'." ”

Ran Yan said in a flat voice, "Sleep your sleep." ”

The corners of Xiao Song's lips curved slightly, and he lay up, found a comfortable position, closed his eyes, and the stone in the afternoon had a warm temperature, and he didn't have to worry about being damaged by ice when he lay on it, but it wasn't very comfortable. But for Xiao Song, who hasn't slept well for seven or eight days, it's excellent.

Ran Yan temporarily forgot the 'gloom' haze that had been pressing on her heart for the past few days, and enjoyed the tranquility of this moment.

recalled the first time I met Xiao Song.

It was in the dense forest, Xiao Song was chasing Su Fu, and only heard a voice at that time, at that time she had a sword around her neck, and she was on the verge of life and death, so she didn't pay too much attention to him, she just thought that the voice was very good.

The second time, at first, I only heard the voice, they met in a narrow way, and they didn't want to back down... It was also that night that she saw his face for the first time.

The stone is like 'jade', the pine is like green, and Lang's 'Yan' is unique, and there is no other in the world.

In fact, if you look closely, although his appearance is handsome, if you talk about 'fine', it is not as good as Su Fu, but for some reason, she only felt that "there is no other in the world" at that time.

Ran Yan lowered his head, looked at his handsome face, and gently rubbed his fingers against the bridge of his nose. Maybe it's because the beauty of this place is too unreal, Ran Yan is a little uneasy in her heart, what if this is just a dream? When I woke up, I found myself asleep on the desk as usual, without Xiao Song and Datang......

As if to confirm his existence, Ran Yan lowered his head and 'kissed' his forehead, as he usually did to her every time. Xiao Song obviously slept very deeply, otherwise he would definitely start to 'commotion' at this time.

Ran Yan reassured to 'kiss' his 'lips' and gently trace his 'lips' shape.

She was so forgetful of the 'kiss', when she heard the footsteps, it was too late, the little girl was already standing on the slope, and half of the words were shocked, "Nine..."

Ran Yan paused, raised his head, and was embarrassed that he didn't know what to do, but he still kept his composure on his face, turned his head slightly, and asked the little guy softly, "What's the matter?" ”

The little girl was stunned for a moment before he reacted, and hurriedly lowered his voice, "It's Chang'an that has a letter, and the country is looking for Jiulang." ”

Xiao Song and Ran Yan didn't bring a little 'waiter' today, and they ran out secretly, if they don't see anyone for a long time, I'm afraid that with Song Guogong's temper, they will be angry again! Ran Yan immediately nudged Xiao Song gently, "Husband! Wake up. ”

After a few calls, Xiao Songcai woke up in a daze, with a hoarse feeling after sleep, and asked vaguely, "What's wrong?" ”

"Aung is looking for you." Ran Yan said concisely.

Xiao Song suddenly sobered up halfway, 'rubbed' his eyebrows, and sat up.
