Chapter 52: A Special Visit
The stones are like jade, and the pines are like emeralds. Lang Yan is unique, and there is no other in the world.
Ran Yan didn't know where to read this sentence, and the moment he raised his eyes to see him, he suddenly poured out from the depths of his memory.
Wearing a dark purple silk robe with wide sleeves, the neckline of the chest is patterned with light-colored large flowers, the arms and the corners of the sleeves are colored gold group patterns, and he wears a white jade belt.
Under the swaying and soft light, the face looked extraordinarily three-dimensional, the sword eyebrows were slightly raised, the deep eyes like the night seemed to be flashing bright cold stars, and under the handsome nose, the moist lips were slightly curved, and the polite Chao Ran Yan bowed slightly.
The word Yan may not fit in with him, but it is only a "unique", but he deserves it.
Ran Yan's eyes fell on his purple clothes, as we all know, the Tang Dynasty had strict regulations on the color of men's clothing, only Wang Sun Gongqing, officials of the third rank and above can wear purple, and the rest of the people if they wear purple clothes casually are for trespassing and will be punished.
They said that they would enter the city before the curfew, but it was clear that the so-called curfew was just for ordinary people, and people like him, as long as they identified themselves, would naturally not be locked outside the city. Does he not want to reveal his identity, or something else? Ran Yanxin was secretly on guard.
"Under the surname Xiao." He said. The sound is still moving.
Ran Yan bowed slightly, "I've seen Xiao Langjun." But I thought in my heart that there is no big family surnamed Xiao in Suzhou, nor is there a prince and grandson, nor is there a big official of the three grades.
was relatively speechless, but Xing Niang and Shu Niang were inseparable, Shu Niang's fiery temperament failed to explode, Ran Yan looked at them curiously, only to see Xing Niang's eyes slightly red, staring at Shu Niang with resentment, and hanging her handkerchief, obviously trying her best to endure it.
Shu Niang was angry and wrong, not angry and panicked, pouting and looking to the side angrily, simply out of sight and out of mind.
"Xing Niang, go and arrange a place to stay." Ran Yan interrupted the war between the two of them.
Xing Niang retracted her gaze, answered, and went down the corridor to the courtyard next door. There are not many courtyards in Zhuangzi, only four small courtyards, the rest are large flower beds, fields, single houses, other courtyards have not lived for a long time, the beginning of each month, the month is cleaned once, now it happens to be the end of the month and the beginning of July, the yard should be clean, and there is no need to bother too much.
It is not a way of hospitality to let people stand on the porch, Ran Yan said, "There are not many people in Zhuangzi who usually come to live, so I want to clean up for a while, Xiao Langjun might as well go to the tea room with me to sit and sit later." ”
"Okay." Xiao Langjun smiled faintly, his serious and calm appearance suddenly became vivid, and he didn't look like an indifferent man.
Ran Yan turned around and led Xiao Langjun and Shu Niang to the tea room.
This side yard is the closest yard to Ran Yan's courtyard, only separated by two doors, Ran Yan's courtyard is small, there is no extra room, so she usually stacks all the bottles and cans in this tea room. And this courtyard is only such a place to entertain guests.
A trace of doubt flashed in Xiao Langjun's bright eyes, the lady in front of her seemed to be a noble girl, but she even did things like lighting the lamp and cleaning up very easily, if she didn't do it often, it would not be so natural.
There was a faint smell of medicine in the room, and bottles and cans of different sizes were piled up on the low table in front of the window, and the post-mortem was packed in a small box and placed in the corner.
As soon as I sat down in the room, two maids came in with buttermilk and black plum milk, these two kinds of pulp are often drunk in summer, buttermilk is the syrup left over from cow and goat's milk to make cheese, with a sour taste, very thirsty, but southerners are generally not used to drinking that strange smell.
The maid put a cup of each of the two pulps in front of everyone, and Shu Niang chose the buttermilk without thinking about it.
"You know how to heal?" Xiao Langjun didn't seem to be interested in slurry water, and his eyes were collected from which bottles and cans, and he looked at Ran Yan.
There was a shallow smile on his handsome face, which made people feel noble but not immodest, even a cold-faced person like Ran Yan was not easy to ignore, so he said, "I understand a little." ”
Ran Yan's attitude was not enthusiastic, nor too cold, plus she had been carrying a power fence, but Shu Niang felt that this was an insult to their family, and she stared at her with an unkind face.
The sharp gaze made Ran Yan feel that if her actions in the next second were not to her liking, I was afraid that the knife would be thrown in front of her, but Ran Yan didn't care, because Shu Niang's current temperament was much more suppressed than what she saw during the day, obviously as long as Xiao Langjun was present, she didn't dare to make a mistake.
"Ran Seventeen Niang, I want to talk to you alone." Xiao Langjun said suddenly.
Ran Yan frowned, and suddenly had a feeling of being deceived. They have been sitting in the car since they entered the house, and it is impossible to see the plaque on the Zhuangzi, this person is not only the Ran's Zhuangzi, but she is also Ran Seventeen Niang, is it calculated from the beginning? The traffic jam on Mo is also in his calculations?
His voice carried an aura similar to coercion, the maids in the house were silent, and when Shu Niang asked them to go down together, none of them asked Ran Yan for their intentions, and quietly followed Shu Niang out of the house.
A guest completely controlled the leadership of his own house, which made Ran Yan's heart even more unhappy, and his voice was a little colder, "You answer me first, Mo is stuck in a traffic jam, but you did it on purpose?" ”
A smile suddenly bloomed on Xiao Langjun's face, and the room suddenly shone brightly, "If I answer yes, will you drive me out immediately?" ”
Ran Yan was silent, acquiescing to his statement.
Xiao Langjun continued, "It's a pity that it's not. You heard my voice in the woods that day, didn't you? Did you recognize my voice when we met? ”
Ran Yan stared at his expression quietly, and that handsome and extraordinary face was not serious, nor did it seem like a joke. If he could recognize his voice, he might be able to recognize hers.
It's just that Ran Yan's voice is not special, not soft, not coarse, and many ordinary people have voices similar to her, and they are not very recognizable.
"A coincidence, you say?" Ran Yan was skeptical.
"No, I'm here to visit you." Xiao Langjun sat up straight and solemnly waved towards Ran Yan, "Under Xiao Song." ”
Ran Yanxin's anger subsided a little, if this was the case, he might have come to visit, but he pounced, and when he was in a hurry to return to the city, he happened to be stuck with her, and he could identify his identity through the voice, so he pushed the boat down the river and gave way, and then justifiably "borrowed" for one night.
It's really cunning.
"I was ordered to come to investigate the case of Yang Judge, I want to know some things, and I ask the lady to tell the truth." Xiao Song smiled, and a terrifying momentum was naturally revealed.
Ran Yan said slowly, "Do you want to?" ”
Xiao Songhan's star-like eyes flashed slightly, and he couldn't tell what kind of look he had, "Lady Ke is that person's identity?" ”
Thinking of a pair of bottomless eyes with a desolation that is difficult for the world to understand, I don't know if it was because this desolation touched her, or because she didn't want to get into trouble, Ran Yan chose to hide it, "No." ”
"But someone told you to be firm when you lie?" Xiao Song actually saw through the lie at a glance.
Ran Yan really rarely lies, but this is a very rare probability, and he was actually pierced by someone, and he couldn't help but feel a kind of shame that he was caught, and said coldly, "Since you are lying, it means that I am unwilling to answer you, since I can see through the lie, I will not think deeply about it, once I make up my mind, I will never change." ”
Xiao Song raised his eyebrows, a smile appeared in his eyes, he originally planned to force her to say it, but he temporarily changed his mind and skipped the topic directly, "Since you know medical skills, you should know where the killer was injured?" Is it life-threatening? ”
In the dark fight that day, he was only shot by a hidden weapon, but he didn't know whether he had hit the vital point.
"Broke my heart." Ran Yan answered truthfully, but even if he hurt his heart, it may not be able to threaten his life. Ran Yan once took the medicine bottle he had discarded and studied the composition of its powder, and so far he had only distinguished seven or eight kinds of medicinal materials, which showed that Su Fu had a very good control over herbal medicine, and he was definitely proficient in medical science, at least in terms of medical skills, he was definitely stronger than her.
Xiao Song glanced at her thoughtfully, and did not continue to ask, I am afraid there is only so much information he can ask.
Xing Niang's accusation came from outside the door at this time, "How can you leave your lady alone with your family Langjun like this, what kind of system has it become?"
The trembling voice showed that she must have wanted to cry.
Shu Niang snorted irritably, "The noble girl of Chang'an who is making a fuss doesn't know how much she wants to get along with our Langjun alone, and she doesn't have a chance." ”
"You see that you are also from a big family, you are so undecent, you let me in" Xing Niang was angry and wanted to break inside.
Ran Yan turned his head to look Xiao Song up and down, and said in a flat voice, "You are so sought-after, the little woman is really honored." ”
Having said that, Xiao Song didn't see where she felt honored, but that single tone made people think she was angry.
"Shu Niang, don't be rude." Xiao Song said loudly.
When Shu Niang heard his words, she stopped stopping her. Xing Niang rushed in, and saw Ran Yan and Xiao Song sitting face to face, only to breathe a sigh of relief, Xing Niang had been only caring about being angry with Shu Niang before, until this time, she had to take a closer look at Xiao Song, and at a glance, she suddenly rushed in with some regret and recklessness to disturb.
Xing Niang can be regarded as knowing countless people, Xiao Song's calm and graceful bearing at a young age must be formed only after staying in the top position for a long time, under this bearing, that handsome face can only be regarded as the icing on the cake. and the dark purple robe on his body, which is clearly a symbol of status.
"Xiao Langjun, the old slave has cleaned up the yard, do you want to rest now, or talk to my lady for a while?" Xing Niang didn't treat Shu Niang like she did at all, with a kind smile on her face, she asked Xiao Song in a soft tone.
Ran Yan opened her mouth slightly, this is also too obvious Ran Yan pulled her up helplessly and said, "Xiao Langjun has to hurry in the morning, so we have to rest early, so we won't bother anymore." ”
Yes By].
