Chapter 182: Yingluo (2)
Hearing that the lady knew Xing Niang, not the person he thought, Ran Yunsheng's face gradually softened and he breathed a sigh of relief.
Although they were all extremely subtle movements, they never escaped Ran Yan's eyes, and she said half-jokingly, "Didn't Brother Ten get a peach blossom debt somewhere?" No less words"
"You don't know me yet?" Ran Yunsheng glared at her and walked towards the courtyard.
Ran Yunsheng has an excellent appearance, and he is very gentle and polite, so he has more ladies who are interested in him, but he has always been clean and self-loving, and he has never been clear with others.
According to Ran Yan's thoughts, Ran Yunsheng should be the kind of person who pursues spiritual fit far more than flesh and desire.
After passing the inner doorway, the front suddenly opened up.
Under a few ginkgo trees in the courtyard stood a woman in green, her head hanging, her black hair was like a waterfall in a loose bun behind her back, and the tips of her hair were dripping with water, as if she had just bathed, and the sun fell on her through the yellow apricot leaves, and her skin was as white as jade became more and more dazzling.
When the woman heard the voice, she raised her head, her clear gaze fell on Ran Yunsheng, and she opened her mouth, but her voice was choked in her throat.
Ran Yan clearly saw that her mouth shape was: Shilang.
Ran Yan recognized the person and bowed slightly to her, "Qi Niang." ”
Qi Niang returned the salute in a trance.
Ran Yan led the phantom sky and the evening green song blue away with interest.
Ran Yunsheng looked at her slightly pale face, his heart tightened, and the indifferent words turned into his mouth, "You're here?" ”
"I ...... I'm coming to see you. "Qi Niang has always had no emotional voice, but at the moment there are many emotions, which are complex and unrecognizable." Aya has set me a family business. ”
After being silent for a long time, Ran Yunsheng said, "Yes, congratulations." ”
"I don't want to." Qi Niang grabbed Ran Yunsheng's gaze and stared at him tightly, a flush appeared on her face, but she said with relief, "I used to feel that I couldn't help myself, and I talked to you a lot of bastard things...... However, when the marriage was decided, I felt that the so-called imprisonment was nothing more than that, but I didn't dare to abandon it, Shiro...... I only have this one chance. ”
At the end, there was a begging in her voice.
Qi Niang is the pride of the Qi family, she is held in the position of the clouds and the moon, she admires Ran Yunsheng, but she knows that she can't get it, so she said those words to Ran Yunsheng, wanting to seek temporary comfort.
Ran Yunsheng stepped down the steps, looked at her appearance without her cold disguise, and sighed, "Have you ever asked, do I like you?" ”
The voice was as warm as jade as before, but it was like a blade gently slashing through Qi Niang's heart, and she didn't feel pain for a while, but only felt that the heat was slowly draining.
Ran Yan stood on the verandah in the distance, looking at the pair of beautiful people who were close at hand, Qi Niang's movements were sluggish, and Ran Yunsheng lowered his eyes to look at the top of her head.
"Are you peeping?" Xiao Song's voice suddenly sounded in his ears.
Ran Yan turned around and bowed slightly to him, "Xiao Langjun." ”
Xiao Song's eyes flashed with a hint of disappointment, "You got up from the couch and began to distance yourself from me?" ”
"Thank you Xiao Langjun for taking care of me these days, and I will definitely repay you in the future." Ran Yan's voice was still flat.
Although Ran Yan was as indifferent as usual, Xiao Song was sensitive to the fact that she seemed to be angry.
"Are you blaming me for deliberately embarrassing Sang Suiyuan?" Thinking about it, this is the only thing that is most likely to anger her recently.
Ran Yan didn't make a sound, but raised his dark eyes and stared at Xiao Song.
Just give a chance to explain, Xiao Song was happy in his heart, but there was a look of repentance on his face, "I admit that it was wrong for me to deliberately lock them up overnight, and I shouldn't have deliberately put them opposite Zhuang Yin, but I did this, and I definitely didn't mean to deal with Sang Suiyuan." ”
"Don't tell me it's for his own good. Help him exercise his guts? Ran Yan frowned.
"I just want him to understand that he's not for you." Xiao Song said seriously.
Ran Yan stared straight into his eyes for a long time before nodding.
She agreed with Xiao Song's reason, but she couldn't thank Sang Chen like this, so she could only go back to the room.
Xiao Song stood in place with his hands in his hands, and when he saw that she was about to go to the corner, he suddenly said loudly, "I want to rush back to Chang'an and leave tomorrow." ”
Ran Yan paused, turned his head to look at him, and thought for a while before saying, "The case in Jushui County is over like this?" ”
"No, it's over tonight." Xiao Song was a little helpless, but he didn't expect Ran Yan to hear that he was leaving, and the first thing that came to mind was this question.
Ran Yan saw that he was confident, so she didn't ask much, she had already reminded him of the things that should be reminded.
In the blink of an eye, she no longer asked more about the case, but said sincerely, "Thank you." ”
Xiao Song lowered his eyes, a little disappointed in his heart, he had never paid attention to anyone, this was the only time. He tried his best to be nice to her, but until now, he only received a "thank you", and she didn't even have a single shyness or let him perceive a different emotion in front of him.
No matter what, the road is long and obstructive. It takes patience and perseverance.
Xiao Song raised his head, but Ran Yan did not leave.
She stood around the corner, her skirt slightly raised, and asked in a cold voice, "Shall you drink?" No less words"
Xiao Song glanced at Ran Yan in surprise, and after a while, he smiled and said, "Okay." ”
Just after noon, lukewarm, Ran Yan asked Evening Green and Gelan to set up a table under a ginkgo tree in the corner of the courtyard.
Wine was warm on a small stove, and after a while, the aroma of wine overflowed.
"Remembered drinking?" Xiao Song took the wine bowl handed by Ran Yan and said puzzled.
Aren't all the ladies who like to drink tea, enjoy the flowers, and stroke the piano? But what she thinks is different from others?
"I don't drink, but not lukewarm." Ran Yan leaned on a few sides, only two feet away from Xiao Song.
The dappled light fell on him, and his face was hidden in the shade of the tree, and his expression could not be seen clearly, but the elegance of a purple dress and a slender and powerful hand holding a bowl of shallow wine was all impressive.
Ran Yan's nose was filled with the aroma of wine, and before he could finish it, he was already slightly drunk.
The scene was quiet, only the sound of scooping water and the fluttering of fan-shaped leaves, flowing peacefully and quietly.
"How much do you drink?" Ran Yan helped him hold them one by one, seeing that half of the wine vessel was missing, but he was not drunk at all.
Xiao Song raised his head and drank all the wine from the wine cup, looked at her with a smile, his voice was dyed with a faint layer of hoarseness, lining his already magnetic voice even more charming, "I'm already drunk, don't you believe it."
Ran Yan was stunned, feeling that Xiao Song might have to drink two catties, even though the wine in the Tang Dynasty was much lighter, it was really a lot.
"You know I'm going to get you drunk, so I don't refuse." Ran Yan was a little apologetic.
Xiao Song raised his eyebrows slightly, after drinking the wine, his eyes became brighter and brighter, and the person staring at him had some heart palpitations, "I won't refuse what you give me." ”
In the usual tactful way, listening to this plausible love words, Ran Yan's heartbeat suddenly lost its regularity, and the movement of warm wine froze.
"I don't mind cheating on you." Xiao Song slowly stood up and put the wine cup on the table.
Ran Yan suddenly felt ashamed, she guessed that Su had something to do with the case, but she felt pity, and tried to ease the situation in this clumsy way, and after being seen through by Xiao Song, she couldn't help but start to disgust.
"Xiao Langjun." Ran Yan stopped him.
Xiao Song stood steadily in the sun, turned his head, but saw Ran Yan sitting upright, and solemnly gave him a big salute, "Xiao Langjun is a waiter of the Criminal Department, and he performs his duties in his position, and he must not destroy his future for the kindness of a woman for a while, and today's matter is my confusion." ”
In the past, Ran Yan has also encountered many cases, the murderer is excusable, but the killed person has committed heinous crimes, but in the law, intentional homicide is an unforgivable crime, and she has also thought about such unfairness, just like what she thinks today.
didn't hear Xiao Song's reply, Ran Yan raised his head slightly, but what caught his eyes was a pair of black official boots.
Xiao Song stretched out his hand to help her up, and said with a smile, "A lady like you has never seen it." ”
"Playing clumsy tricks in front of you is the reason why I am most ashamed." Ran Yan sighed.
"It's not that you're clumsy, it's that you don't have a mind at all." Xiao Song has been struggling between law and emotion, and if she really decides, she may not be able to deceive him.
Xiao Song is very happy, although Ran Yan has done something today, it makes him feel for the first time that she is a living person, with feelings, weaknesses, and struggles, and she is not a cold and hard stone, which makes people feel that they will never be able to cover it.
The faint aroma of wine on Xiao Song's body diffused, and the hot temperature on his palm was transmitted through the clothing, and Ran Yan trembled, wanting to escape, but also wanting to approach.
"Ah Yan." Xiao Song called in a low voice.
It was the first time he had called her name, and the faint and hoarse magnetic voice was so gentle and slow that people couldn't help but tremble.
Ran Yan's remaining reason pushed him away and hurriedly retreated a few steps, "Xiao Langjun, I wish you a smooth journey tomorrow." ”
"Hmm." Xiao Song hummed, got up with a light smile on his face, and left the courtyard.
Ran Yan looked at the footsteps that were not chaotic at all, but he didn't know how drunk he was.
At night, lanterns are lit everywhere in the Su Mansion, but there is silence.
The small pavilion opposite the stage is dimly lit, the crystal bead curtain reflects a little light, and the breeze blows, as if the Milky Way is flowing down from the night sky.
The number of guests invited to the banquet in the morning has been removed, and there is only a three-legged table in the empty pavilion, and Su Luan, who is dressed in a royal blue cloud-patterned white crane costume, leans on the side, looking at the stage opposite with a worried expression.
For a long time, a thin layer of mist floated in his eyes.
There was a sound of rattling on the wooden staircase, and Su Luan forced the tears that were about to flow. Soon there was the voice of Steward Mu behind him, "Xiao Shilang came to visit. ”
"Please come up." Su Luan never looked back.
Steward Mu hesitated for a moment, originally a distinguished guest like Xiao Shilang would personally go to the Waiqu Gate to greet him, and he ...... today Steward Mu sighed in his heart, afraid that he remembered some sad things again. It's hard all year round, even if it's willful, what can it be?
Steward Mu thought so, so he hurriedly went downstairs to invite Xiao Song to the small pavilion.
The stage was in the front yard, but after a while, I heard the sound of steady footsteps.
Su Luan got up and walked to the staircase to greet him, and seeing that Xiao Song was coming alone, he couldn't help but glance at Steward Mu behind him, and immediately bowed and said, "If you neglect Xiao Shilang, the concubine is guilty." ”
"I've always been a person who doesn't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, and I'm not good, so I don't have to be formal." Xiao Song said casually.
Yes By].
