Ran Yan never accepts favors from others in vain, and he must ask Xiao Song clearly if he has requirements to feel at ease.

Xiao Song raised his eyebrows and said solemnly, "The senior monk of Jianye Temple said that I am full of evil, and I must do a good deed every day before I can marry in the future." ”

Ran Yan frowned, and he couldn't tell how much he was true or fake.

With a hint of a smile in the corner of his eyes, Xiao Song turned around and walked into the Shadow Plum Nunnery.

Regardless of Xiao Song's purpose, the imminent matter was postponed, Ran Yan's heart was much more relaxed, and even the expression that had been cold as frost was much softer.

Both Wanlu and Gelan clearly felt the change in her mood, and they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but then they became worried again, the lady wouldn't fall in love with Xiao Shilang, right? No small number of words

Walking along the path of Yingmei Nunnery to the backyard, when he passed by the side door, Ran Yan was brightly lit outside, so he stopped and took a look. From the crack in the door, you can see a tall back figure in purple clothes standing with his hands in his hands, the light stretches his shadow behind him, like a mountain standing majestically, the atmosphere around him is calm, the people around him are silent, even the officials who listen to the order to find clues are also lightly footed, not daring to make a sound.

Chang'an is sad and sad...... Ran Yan curled the corners of her lips slightly, looking at this situation, she really didn't deserve his name.

Back in the courtyard, Ran Yan went to the side room to see Su Fu, the situation was not optimistic, but fortunately, there was no worry about life. How did such a serious injury come about? He turned against the person who had been pinching his ** bones?

A person who can form such a cold and murderous aura as Su Fu must have borne the lives of countless people, Ran Yan lowered his eyes and looked at his sculpted face, and after a long time, he got up and went back to the bedroom.

After lying on the couch and thinking about many things, I gradually fell asleep. It's a dream again, this time the dream is very fragmentary, and the pictures of various corpses sweep in like ocean waves, and finally freeze on a curvaceous female corpse.

Dream, Ran Yan calmly inspected the female corpse as usual, but every scar seemed to be cut on her heart, and she even curled up her toes unconsciously.

A perfect autopsy, repeated in a dream for years.

The next morning, Ran Yan opened his eyes tiredly, listened to the chanting sound coming from the temple, slowed down a little, reached out and touched the handkerchief placed on the side of the couch, wiped the sweat on his head, and sat up with the quilt. After a while, I put on my satin coat, got up and went down to pour a glass of water.

"Lady." Xing Niang happened to come in and was about to call Ran Yan to collapse, and when she saw her drinking cold water, she hurriedly stopped, "It's already autumn, how can the lady be so uncherished, if you want to drink water, open your mouth to call the old slave, otherwise you will call a few girls." ”

Ran Yan smiled tiredly, she has been here for so long, and she is not used to calling others subconsciously, so she will do what she can.

Xing Niang brought in a pot of hot water from outside, poured a cup for Ran Yan, and asked, "Yesterday San Lang, did you mention that it was time to pick up the lady and go back to the house.

"Ayer is a man with a wife and children, take me up." Ran Yan drank the water and said nonchalantly.

Xing Niang smiled, "Look at what the lady said. ”

Having said that, Xing Niang also sighed secretly in her heart, Lang Jun was really chilling, saying that he and he were both young couples, although they were the daughters of the Zheng family in Xingyang, they had always been humble and submissive to him, and they had been with him for several years, and they had also left their bloodline, but the relationship between husband and wife, flesh and blood, after all, could not compare to Gao's few words of pillow wind, and now they are ignoring it to such a point.

"It's not that I'm angry, I've seen a father like Yin Wenshu, and in comparison, Aya is very good to me, at least I have a place to live and something to eat." Ran Yan didn't say angry words, it would be better if Ran Wen could cut off the father-daughter relationship with her.

Xing Niang did not answer.

The chanting in Yuncong's temple had stopped, and after Ran Yan finished breakfast, he got up and prepared to visit Liu Tingshi. After all, Xiao Song helped her, and she had to do her best to help solve the case.

And Chengran Mansion, at this time, under the leadership of Ran Wen, the whole mansion is greeting a distinguished guest at the door.

There were seven or eight girls crowded in the gatehouse, led by a red-clad dress, lying on the door and looking out through the cracks.

An eleven or twelve-year-old girl in the back said eagerly, "Eighteenth sister, have you seen it?" Handsome or not? ”

"Hurry, the carriage just stopped" Ran Meiyu said impatiently, but her eyes were firmly fixed on the carriage that had just stopped at the gate of the mansion.

The door opened, and a small man jumped out, and then a man in a purple suit got out of the car.

His body is taller and straighter than the average Jiangnan man, and when he stood in front of the car, everyone realized that he was a head taller than Ran Wen, with a handsome and hard facial line, like a knife carving, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, a tall nose bridge, handsome is handsome, but it gives people an extreme sense of oppression.

The ladies in the concierge suddenly held their breath and stared at the man for a moment, only the younger girl at the end asked eagerly, "No, isn't it handsome, isn't it handsome?" ”

Let her go around in a hurry, but no one answered her.

Ran Wen saw someone coming, and hurriedly greeted him with a smile on his face, "Xiao Shilang came to the cold house, it is really brilliant."

"Uncle Ran is polite." Xiao Song had a smile on his face, shallow but not light, which made people feel noble and not perfunctory, especially the "Uncle Ran", which was simply called Ran Wen's heart was full of joy.

Two people who have never met before are enthusiastic and enter the house like father and son.

Xiao Song laughed loudly, and after sitting down in the hall, he exchanged pleasantries for a while before moving on to today's topic, "I came here today to apologize to Uncle Ran and the Ran family." ”

"Oh? Somehow? Ran Wenxin mentioned it a little, I am afraid it is not good to let Xiao Song come to the door to apologize in person

"It's about the marriage of Seventeen Niang." Xiao Song said apologetically, "Last time Xiao passed by Suzhou, he met Seventeen Niang, Seventeen Niang's medical skills are outstanding, her moral character is high, she has done me a great favor, and she is my benefactor." It is also very ashamed to say, the monk said that I have a bad body, and I have a hard wife, because I am twenty years old and have not had a family, and the family is also very anxious, so I heard that Seventeen Niang has both virtue and ability and is anxious to come to the door, Xiao admires Seventeen Niang as a person, so he does not dare to be involved, and His Majesty asked for orders to come to Suzhou to supervise the prison, in fact, he apologized in person. ”

Xiao Song said, his tone a little gloomy. His appearance was dyed with a hint of loneliness, which looked particularly distressing, even the Gao clan was a little unbearable, Ran Wen had a little reaction for a while, and the Gao clan hurriedly said, "What did Xiao Shilang say, the envoy sent by Lingtang only discussed this matter with us in private, and he had not officially proposed marriage, so it was not enough to give up." Seventeen Niang can get you to look at it differently, and she came to apologize in person, this is her creation. ”

"My aunt is so generous, it really makes me more and more ashamed." Xiao Song hurriedly got up and waved his hand.

Gao Shi flashed half of his body and said repeatedly, "Don't be, don't deserve." ”

Ran Wen was very unhappy in his heart, but the dignified servants of the Criminal Department had already come to the door to apologize in person, and they were so sincere, it was not okay to lower their posture and not accept it.

Xiao Song naturally saw his reluctance, and his evaluation of Ran Wen was lowered a few points in his heart, feeling that he was not even as decent as Gao's. Thinking so, he didn't show it on his face, and continued to throw out the temptation to soothe the dissatisfaction in his heart, "I am a close friend of Seventeen Niang, and Seventeen Niang will marry to Chang'an in the future. ”

These are all scenes, even if Xiao Song is sincere, the Ran family doesn't dare to bother him all the time. And Xiao Song also said very clearly, it was Seventeen Niang who had something, and the Ran family had nothing to do with him.

was reminded by Xiao Songyi, Ran Wen remembered that there was still Cui's Ran Yan and Xiao Song were friends, and they married Cui's again, and they were worried that they would offend people if they refused, but now the result is simply killing three birds with one stone, which is very good

With a turn in his heart, Ran Wen suddenly became happy and chatted with Xiao Song enthusiastically.

Xiao Song is a very good person, although he is noble and noble, but he does not put up a fight with Ran Wen at all, and he holds Ran Wen to the sky without revealing the mountains and waters, and he doesn't know what day it is, even a shrewd person like Gao is praised for being light.

"Oh, by the way, I'm here this time, and I also bring good news to Uncle Ran" Xiao Song saw that the time was almost ripe, so he changed the topic.

Ran Wen was on the rise, and asked with a smile, "I have a good deed, can I enter Xiao Shilang's eyes?" ”

"But it's a very good thing." Xiao Song deliberately sold a pass, and then said, "Your Majesty is in a hurry to return to Chang'an, and the title of Cui's house will fall on his head this time." ”

Ran Wenxin was ecstatic, the title of Cui's house was the founding county duke from the second grade, although it was not as good as the first grade of the Xiao Song family, but Xiao Song still had two brothers above, and it was not his turn to be eighty percent of this title

Gao's heart was slightly shocked, his emotions eased a lot, his mind began to become clear, and he was urgently recruited back to Chang'an, this marriage has not been negotiated yet, will it still be? It's better not to, otherwise, wouldn't she be pressed on her head by Ran Yan for the rest of her life

Gao sighed as if unintentionally, "Sang inherited the title, I'm afraid...... Our seventeenth mother is not worthy of him."

Ran was also stunned when he heard this, and his heart couldn't help but rise.

"Presumably both of them have also heard what Sang Suiyuan did, I was born in the same department as him, and I have been a colleague for a while, Sang Suiyuan's character is obvious to the world, and he will never change anything he decides, Gao said such a thing, is it doubtful that Sang Suiyuan's character?" Xiao Song's words also became serious.

Ran Wen's face changed slightly, and he immediately said, "Women don't know anything, they talk nonsense, don't take it seriously, don't take it seriously." ”

Sang Chen's reputation among Confucians has always been not, he is respected by scholars and appreciated by Confucianism, once today's words are spread, the condemnation of these celebrities and Confucians in Suzhou alone is enough for their Ran family.

Xiao Song's face softened, and he smiled faintly, "It's normal for people to have this kind of worry, but Sang Suiyuan's character Uncle Ran can do it, if he really is such a child's play, Xiao will be the first to denounce him." ”

Everyone echoed in unison.

This matter passed by, and Ran Wen thought about it and felt that what Xiao Song said made sense, so he no longer took it to heart, and entertained Xiao Song with singing, dancing and drinking.

On this occasion, Xiao Song was even more like a fish in water, and in the end, Ran Wen almost called him a brother, but Ran Wen had other plans in his heart, so he still pulled the seniority away.

Yes By].
