Can't help yourself (2)

From the very beginning, Xiao Song was not a person who was easy to change her decision, so when she proposed to leave, he just looked at her quietly for two breaths, and said, "I'll send you, just in time to go out of the city from Yanxing Gate." ”

"You don't have to eat?" Ran Yan asked.

Xiao Song smiled, "I usually eat at the official office. ”

Ran Yan glanced at him inquiringly, nodded, but felt a little failed in his heart, obviously thanks, but in fact he caused trouble to others, and he prepared a "thin gift", which has not been given away yet.

She has always been decisive, but she doesn't know why she is so grinding in this matter, maybe it's because it's the first time to give a male gift? Ran Yan thought about it, gritted his teeth, took out the handkerchief, and reached out to Xiao Song fiercely.

Xiao Song was about to get up, but was startled by Ran Yan's sudden movements.

Evening Green can't help but sweat in the sideburns behind him, is there such a gift?

"This ...... For you. Ran Yan was a little panicked, but he forced to look up at Xiao Song, pretending to be calm.

Xiao Song looked funny and happy, and reached out to take it.

Untie the lilac silk to reveal a corner of white folded cloth, and the surrounding cover spreads along the palm, revealing a square handkerchief, and the purple orchid embroidered on the corner seems to exude a faint fragrance.

Ran Yan watched him happily put the silk into his arms, and coughed uncomfortably, "I didn't embroider it on purpose." ”

When Wan Lu heard this, he sweated even more, it was originally a very cold gift, but when he added this sentence, it seemed even more worthless. But...... Wan Lu secretly glanced at Xiao Song from the corner of his eye, and saw that he was still smiling, so he relaxed a little.

"I usually like to use white cloth, but Shu Niang was born in troubled times, and I have never learned to be a female red, and I have never used such a beautiful cloth." Xiao Song said with a smile.

As he spoke, he got up and ordered the carriage to be driven to the side of the inner doorway, and he was with Ran Yan.

The wind and snow outside are getting heavier and heavier, Xiao Song has been searching for the body for the past two days, but this wind and snow are fierce, and the suburbs seem to have been covered with thick snow, and he is in a very uncertain mood, but today is a sweep of the haze, and he feels that even if he doesn't eat lunch and brave the wind and snow to go to the suburbs to find the bones, he is very motivated.

The carriage stopped in the inner doorway, and Ran Yan, supported by Wan Lu, boarded the carriage first and poked his head out, "Xiao Langjun, it's snowing outside, you might as well sit in." ”

Xiao Song didn't get on the horse for a long time, and what he was waiting for was this sentence, so he was not polite in the next half of the sentence, and quickly stepped into the carriage.

The stove in the carriage has never been extinguished, warm as spring, the snowflakes on Xiao Song's body turned into water droplets in an instant, he was already burly, as soon as he entered the carriage, he brought wind and rain, and forcibly lowered the temperature in the carriage by more than half.

Evening Green and Gelan put on their cloaks very wisely and sat down to the left and right of the coachman.

"The bones, related to the case you're working on?" Ran Yan didn't, he just glanced at her with a smile in his eyes from time to time, and then started talking uncomfortably.

"Well, in February, there was a murder in the suburbs, in which a lowly maid died, one person was seriously injured, and four other people and property were missing, and on the surface, it seemed that they had been robbed. But there's more to it than that. Seeing that she was quite interested, Xiao Song smiled and continued, "This injured person's name is Chai Xuanyi. ”

Ran Yan's heart moved slightly, and he asked softly, "But Chai Shao, the Duke of the Chai family?" ”

Xiao Song bowed, "This Chai Xuanyi is the nephew of Chai Shao, the prince of the country, and he is married to the county lord of Wenxi." ”

Seeing that Ran Yan was puzzled for a while, Xiao Song approached her and whispered, "Wenxi County Lord Li Wanshun is the only surviving daughter of the hidden prince Li Jiancheng, who was raised in the palace as a concubine at the age of two, and in the first year of Zhenguan, the hidden prince was posthumously named the king of Xi, and Li Wanshun was not named the county lord until he was seventeen years old, and at the same time was ordered to marry the little seven-pin Tongshi Liu Yingdao. However, two years later, Liu Yingdao died of illness, and Li Wanshun remarried Chai Xuanyi......"

The two were very close, Xiao Song could clearly smell the faint Peilan fragrance on Ran Yan's body, the fragrance was slightly different from Peilan, with a faint medicinal smell and a warm body fragrance, which easily touched the heartstrings.

The Ran family heard him say that he was silent, raised his head and asked, "Isn't Chai Xuanyi Chai Shao's nephew, the Holy Lord will allow ......?"

The four eyes were facing each other, there was almost only a small distance between the noses, and the breathing could be heard, Ran Yan subconsciously stepped back, and his whole back was leaning against the wall of the car.

Xiao Song noticed the gaffe, don't look over, and quickly sorted out his emotions, "Chai Xuanyi has no official position, but it is said that he can write well, and he can also give words." He was the one who was attacked, but he rolled down the hillside, hit the back of his head with a rock, and was seriously injured, and he was in a coma for four days before he woke up, but unfortunately, the doctor confirmed that he had lost his memory. ”

Away from Xiao Song's breath, Ran Yan breathed a sigh of relief and nodded to indicate that he was listening to him.

Xiao Song also sat down and didn't say anything more. He always felt that there was already that kind of atmosphere between the two, but Ran Yan was always running away.

With Ran Yan's directness, she should not be the kind of person who likes to leave immediately, Xiao Song can clearly feel that she has a good impression of him, and this kind of good impression is not enough for her to be willing to entrust her for life, as if it is always a little worse, however...... What is the difference?

There was silence in the carriage, and not long after the carriage passed the East Market, Xiao Song heard a string of hurried horses' hooves outside, and he opened the curtain to a gap, and saw a man and a rider chasing the carriage he was riding in against the wind and snow.

Riding a horse was much faster than a carriage, but in the blink of an eye, the man was already less than two feet away from the carriage, "Xiao Shilang!" ”

"Stop." Xiao Song said.

The carriage slowly pulled over, and the person who came drove forward, turned over and dismounted by the window, and arched his hand, "Xiao Shilang, Chai Langjun remembered something!" ”

Xiao Song grabbed the big gun and said to Ran Yan, "I have business to do, and I have guards to escort you." ”

Ran Yan nodded and said, "You can go quickly." ”

Xiao Song put on a big hat, turned over and got on his horse outside, and rode back with the person who reported the news.

Ran Yan opened the curtain and saw the black raccoon dog hair gradually fading away in the heavy snow, as if swaying a wanton ink painting.

"Lady." Wan Lu climbed into the carriage, and when he saw Ran Yan thoughtfully, he called softly.

Gelan also came in.

They were only one door away from the car, so they naturally heard everything clearly. The two couldn't help but be a little stunned in their hearts, this case involved Prince Yin's only daughter, and the three divisions were cautious. Back then, the Xuanwumen Incident, Taizong killed his brother and killed his brother, which has become a scar in his heart that can never be erased, and even those pavilion elders dare not speculate on the holy will in this matter.

In case this matter is unclear with the county lord of Wenxi, and it is not the intention of the saint, should it be done or not?

Ran Yan also vaguely understood that Xiao Songwei would be impeached, and if the case was kicked to Dali Temple, it could only be carried by the Criminal Department. And as the second-in-command of the Criminal Department, he will inevitably be implicated.

At the same time, Yu Shitai will never dare to impeach Xiao Song now, Xiao Song's methods of solving the case are famous in the government and the opposition, and impeaching him will do not benefit Yu Shitai.

Getting such a conclusion, Ran Yan breathed a sigh of relief.

Back at home, Ran Yan had a simple lunch and began to continue reading the Book of Songs.

"The peach is dying, scorching its glory, the son is returning, and it is appropriate for his family to ......" Ran Yan frowned and stared at this sentence, remembering that the hairpin that Xiao Song gave her before was not a peach blossom carved from peach wood?

O verdant peach tree, the flowers are blooming brightly. This girl has been married, and the family will be harmonious and happy.

"This slave has read it." Wan Lu, who was sewing clothes on the side, interjected, and she saw that Ran Yan was not displeased, so she continued, "Say, this is comparing the bride to a peach tree, which means that the children and grandchildren are prosperous. ”

Ran Yan watched the song "Taoyao" over and over several times, "Do you still have this meaning?" ”

She remembered this peach song, and vaguely remembered the meaning, but she didn't think deeply that there was such a meaning.

Xing Niang came in from the outside, lifted the curtain in the inner room, and sat down beside Ran Yan, "Lady, the old slave heard this morning that the Holy Lord summoned Sang. ”

Ran Yan put down the book, turned his head and asked, "Has he arrived in Chang'an?" ”

"Yes." Seeing that Ran Yan didn't look too concerned, Xing Niang couldn't help but sigh, but continued to finish her words, "I heard that the Holy Lord gave him a doctor of eunuch from the country. ”

This is not a very high official position, but since ancient times, he has advocated "respecting teachers and respecting the way", and as a doctor of Guozijian, he will inevitably be full of peach and plum in the future. And it is a gift from the Holy God, even if Sang Chen does not admit that he is a descendant of the Cui family for the rest of his life, the future is not bad.

Ran Yan felt that Li Shimin was really a Mingjun, and he could see at a glance that the rabbit was not suitable for him at all except to teach and educate people.

The winter days are short, and the days quickly get dark.

After Ran Yan finished dinner, he read a book for a while and then lay down on the couch.

Thinking about some things randomly, it took a long time to gradually feel a little sleepy.

Hazy, Ran Yan faintly heard a slight noise outside, and at first thought it was late green, so he didn't care, turned over, and prepared to continue to brew sleep.

Because she was not used to pillowing high pillows, she asked Wanlu to sew a low pillow with buckwheat husk as her heart, and since she practiced the pranayama method given by Su Fu, her consciousness was obviously clearer than before, and at this time, her ears were close to the ground, and she faintly heard the very gentle footsteps outside, this sound and the sound of wind and snow whistling outside, if it weren't for Ran Yan's always alertness, she wouldn't have noticed it at all.

Ran Yan was shocked, Wan Lu would never sneak close to the inner room like this!

Moreover, Su Fu has always quietly appeared in front of or behind people, and although Xiao Song is not a gentleman, he is also a hearty person, and Ran Yan will not come again after he is poked once.

Yes By].
