The banquet hall is brightly lit, and the so-called "reception banquet" has obviously begun for a long time.

Recently, the atmosphere in Jiangnan is gradually opening up, and the ladies will wear power fences when they go out, and they are like Chang'an when they participate in the banquet. The room is full of gorgeous clothes with floating sleeves and smiling Yan Yan, the most eye-catching of which is Xiao Song, Ran Yunsheng and Qi Niang.

Xiao Song was dressed in a dark purple round-necked regular dress, the cuffs were embroidered with gold and silver threads, his black hair was up, his face was handsome, and his laughter was refreshing with that of a northerner.

Ran Yan stood at the door of the hall and looked around before walking in.

When everyone hadn't paid attention to her, she walked quickly towards Ran Yunsheng's side, in this room full of people, there were only two people who could be sure that they would not avoid her, Xiao Song was all concerned, Ran Yan naturally didn't want to go, and Ran Yunsheng was the same, so she only found an empty place close to Ran Yunsheng to sit down.

Xiao Song greeted Ran Yan as soon as he entered the house, and after a round of greetings, he Ran Yan was still sitting quietly alone, at this time there were already many people with her, but they didn't say hello, just exchanged their heads and pointed at a distance. Ran Yan's face was still cold, one injured arm was hanging, and the other hand was rubbing the mouth of the cup.

Xiao Song's heart was a little nervous, and he quickly ended the current entertainment, got up and walked towards Ran Yan.

With his pace, there were more and more people with Ran Yan's existence, and everyone had different expressions.

Ran Yan's heart was panicking, she was tired of being watched like a monkey, those human eyes were either disdainful, or amazing, or afraid, which made her feel as uncomfortable as thorns.

Not to mention in ancient times, even in modern times, many people also keep a safe distance of two meters immediately after hearing about her profession. This is especially true when Ran Yan used to go on a blind date, as soon as many people heard about her profession, they hurriedly greeted her and left, how many men are willing to live with a person who often dissects dead bodies Fortunately, it was in the Tang Dynasty, otherwise people like her were most likely drowned by rumors, or tied up and burned. Ran Yan reassured.

She lowered her eyes, her fingertips running along the rim of the glass, the wine rippled slightly. Suddenly, a slender hand picked up her wine glass, Ran Yan looked up, and saw Xiao Song with a faint smile in his eyes, putting down a glass of plum syrup in front of her.

"Drink this." Xiao Song said.

Ran Yan couldn't drink tea and alcohol because she had been taking medicine recently, and she didn't plan to stay at the banquet for a long time, so she didn't ask the maid to bring water.

"Thank you." Ran Yan smiled slightly.

This heartfelt smile, with the warmth and softness of melting ice, made the people who had been secretly paying attention to their movements stunned for a moment, and Ran Yan's already delicate face suddenly became smart, so beautiful that it made people palpitate.

Xiao Song's heartbeat suddenly missed a few beats, and he finally understood that he was the prince of Zhou Youwang, just to fight the beauty and smile.

At this time, Ran Wen finally realized Ran Yan's existence, so he said hello to a few big Confucians beside him and left.

"Ah Yan is here" Ran Wen looked at her with a smile, and described it like a father, "Follow Aya to meet a few uncles." ”

After that, he turned to Xiao Song and said, "Why don't Xiao Xian's nephews sit together?" No less words"

Ran Wen's brothers all hold official positions, and the highest is only the fifth grade, and they are external officials, even if they are released to the fourth grade, they can't match Xiao Song's Beijing official four grades, which is also the reason why Liu Pinrang and Xiao Song are both fourth-grade officials, but they always feel a head lower than him.

Xiao Song didn't like to have anything to do with other officials at banquets other than the colleague banquet, but he glanced at Ran Yan with a vague look, and then smiled enthusiastically, "Uncle has a word, and the younger generation will naturally obey his fate." ”

He immediately stated his position in this sentence, betrayed Ran Wen's favor, and by the way, he explained that he was going to chat with his elders as a junior, and it had nothing to do with business.

Ran Wen naturally understood it, but the main reason for him today was to make each other familiar with each other, whether it was their identity.

Ran Wen thinks so because he doesn't know Xiao Song's personality too much, Xiao Song is the kind of person who can distinguish between public and private very clearly, and will only release water when he thinks the situation is necessary. Otherwise, even if his father Song Guogong intervened, he would not have compromised.

"Yes." answered, and obediently followed Ran Wen with him.

Xiao Song chose an opportunity, turned his head and whispered to Ran Yan, "After you have met, find an appropriate time to retire." ”

Ran Yan nodded, but he didn't know if he could wait for the right time.

The three of them walked together into a small room covered by twelve screens, Ran Yan raised his eyes slightly and looked around, all of them were men ranging from thirty to fifty years old, probably gathered together to discuss current affairs and chapters.

As soon as Xiao Song came in, everyone stood up to greet him.

"Elder don't be so polite, kill Yuzhi, please take a seat." Xiao Song hurriedly returned the salute. ”

His description made many old foxes in officialdom feel both comfortable and disappointed, because such a high-ranking official, awe-inspiring and known as "Chang'an Ghost Sorrow" The waiter of the Criminal Department actually treated them very respectfully and spoke kindly; And the disappointment is because once the seniority is set, it is the topic of tonight's chat, and it is impossible to involve officialdom and current affairs, which is an unestablished rule between North Korean officials.

After they finished greeting each other, Ran Wen guided the Ran clan people present to Ran Yan one by one.

During this period, almost everyone noticed that Ran Yan's arm was injured, and there was a lot of care between the words, whether they were for reasons, true or false, but the difference between intentional and unintentional was immediate, Ran Yan couldn't help but sigh, what is the reason why Ran Wen is so unkind to see Zheng and her?

After a while, Xiao Song picked up the topic, talking about the good chapters that have appeared in Chang'an recently, as well as the talented Confucians in Jiangnan Province, so this two-way symposium, Ran Yan's existence seems a little redundant.

Ran Yan picked an opportunity, then said goodbye to everyone, and led the evening green and song blue around the trail and hurriedly returned to Linshui Residence, not giving those who were either curious or wanted to find fault with the slightest chance.

Just as he was crossing the path leading to the waterfront residence, he suddenly heard the voice of the pavilion man.

"Ran Seventeen Niang's smile is really moving, if Qi Niang also has a smile, I'm afraid it won't be bad," Lang Jun sighed.

Someone said, "It's pitiful to say, after hearing that her biological mother died, she couldn't laugh anymore, and she didn't take off her vegetarian clothes for eight years...... Do you think Qi Niang's biological mother will die a tragic death? Did she see it with her own eyes? Otherwise, it would not have been possible to hit it so hard."

Another humane, "There is some truth, that Ran Seventeen Niang lost her mother since she was a child, and she didn't have many smiles after that, did she also witness her mother's death?" Or...... It's stepmom......"

"Don't talk nonsense, don't talk nonsense"

The rest of the people hurriedly stopped him in unison.

Ran Yan passed straight through the path as if he hadn't heard of it.

When everyone in the pavilion heard the footsteps, they hurriedly silenced them, and they all felt a little embarrassed that they had been knocked out. But seeing that Ran Yan didn't feel the slightest look, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief again, thinking that she might have just passed by.

Ge Lan and Wan Lu were a little embarrassed, and when they walked to the courtyard of the waterfront residence, Wan Lu sighed with emotion, "The lady listened to the corner of the wall and listened to it so calmly, it scared those people into being thieves." ”

"Shouldn't they be weak-hearted and not skip words. Ran Yan said lightly.

Could it be that they gather to gossip, and she still has to hide and pass by the way she should go?

"But when I was studying, didn't the saint say, 'Don't look at incivility, don't listen to incivility.'" Besides, everyone is hiding from the corner. Wan Lu grabbed his head and thought of two words of the sage.

"The saint also said, 'Don't say anything incivil, don't do anything incivil' Since they dare to talk in public, why don't I dare to listen?" Ran Yan is not ignorant of human feelings, and there have been embarrassing incidents of breaking other people's gossip before. Of course, it has always been others who are embarrassed, and Ran Yan has always been justified.

"That's what I said...... "Evening Green couldn't find the words to refute it, but aren't ordinary people hiding it? Or maybe you can't get angry and rush to find those people to theorize.

A person like Ran Yan who is purely "passing by" is really incomprehensible.

Back in the bedroom, Ran Yan was stunned by the scene in front of him as soon as he raised his eyes: the water-pink curtain, the pink and white light yarn, even the beaded curtain was dyed red without knowing how to use it, and the crystal bead curtain shook gently in the soft light, reflecting a dazzling light.

As soon as Ran Yan returned home, he sat in the water pavilion to watch the scenery, and it was the first time he entered the bedroom.

Almost all the places that caught her eye were pink, and it was really hard for Ran Yan to imagine that one day she would sleep in such a dreamy room, but she couldn't be happy to get up a large piece of pink, and her throat was a little clogged.

"Lady, this Gao family really put his heart into it, they are all good, and they are all like the lady." The torturer cleaned up inside and out, and saw that the Ran family did not snub Ran Yan, so she was a little happy.

Ran Yan eased his mood, thinking that it was not a place to live for a long time anyway, and it was not a knife cut on the meat, so there was no need to get it to his heart, if he asked to change the pink curtains at this time, maybe the Gao family thought that he was deliberately finding fault.

Ran Yan sat down in front of the dressing table and asked Wanlu to help remove the makeup.

As soon as it was done, a maid came to report that Shiro was here.

Evening Green said flatly, "Shilang doesn't care about the lady...... Fortunately, Xiao Shilang broke the siege. ”

Ran Yan had to say something fair, "The identity of the tenth brother is different from Xiao Langjun, Xiao Langjun neglects others a little, maybe no one will take it to heart, after all, the status is transcendent, and the tenth brother is different......"

"It's hard for Ah Yan to forgive me so much." Ran Yunsheng's voice came from outside the tent.

Ran Yan put on a satin coat and got up to greet him. Seeing Ran Yunsheng dressed in a light brown brocade dress, his face was like a crown of jade, his black hair was like satin, and his eyes were crooked with a smile, "Ah Yun has sent the orchid hairpin?" ”

Ran Yan was stunned for a moment, listening to the meaning of Ran Yunsheng's words, it seemed that only a set of orchid hairpins was sent, and the other two cloud hairpins were obviously worth a lot......

"It's delivered." Ran Yan answered, turned to the evening green road, "Go and take out the cloud hairpin." ”

Yes By].
