Chapter 371: Parting, Temptation, Risky Opportunity

Chapter 371 Regret parting, surprise temptation, dangerous opportunity

The spring night was quiet and pleasant, although the sky was still covered with fine rain, but the whole person was immersed in the soup spring, the coolness that fell on his face was just right, Chen Lan was so comfortable that he couldn't help but close his eyes. A few girls originally wanted to stay and serve on their backs, but she only ordered them to take turns to guard the door, and none of them remained. I don't know how long it took, she opened her eyes comfortably, exhaled, stretched out her hands and put them on the stone wall on the side, her head resting on the bumpy stone pillow and looking at the sky in a daze, and her mouth couldn't help but chant softly.

"Jiangnan is good, and the scenery is old. The sunrise river flowers are red like fire, and the river water is as green as blue in spring, can you not remember the south of the Yangtze River? ”

She almost forgot that she was once from Jiangnan. Only now the fireworks are in March, the scenery is picturesque, but there are still many intrigues and wrestling for power and profit, when is this day a head?

Thinking about it, she gradually closed her eyes again. The hot spring water at just the right temperature gently rippled, brushing every inch of her skin, and together with the gentle breeze and drizzle on her face, interweaving a sleepy lullaby. Just as she was almost asleep, she suddenly felt a pair of hands pressed against her shoulders.

The familiar touch on her shoulders made her body, which was originally stiff, relax, and she immediately said without looking back: "You don't make a sound when you walk, is there such a scary thing as you?" ”

"I've been here for a while, and who knew you could fall asleep here?" Squatting on the edge of the soup pool, Yang Jinzhou's gaze gradually fell from his wife's smooth and delicate back to the front, and he was giving birth to a feeling of pity, he now moved his shoulders slightly, and laughed, "Although this soup spring is good, didn't you teach me a lesson before, saying that you should not be greedy for comfort, soak in a soup pool for too long, why do you forget it now?" ”

Unexpectedly, Yang Jinzhou actually moved out what he said when he was in the Tangquan Palace in the capital, Chen Lan couldn't help but break away his hands, stood up and turned around as soon as he propped up the stone bench under his head, walked up the steps and shook his head at the man in front of him: "What's the matter if you forget, anyway, with you, it's been one thing after another in the past few days, it's rare to relax." The water in this spring is not as hot as other pools...... Hey, what are you doing in a daze, come down?"

Yang Jinzhou had originally changed into a big bathrobe outside, and when he heard Chen Lan say this, he naturally would not refuse, and casually put the clothes outside on the hanger on the side, and then suddenly jumped in. Chen Lan was hit by the sudden splash of water, and it was easy to find a towel to wipe her almost pasted eyes, angry and annoyed, she was about to settle accounts with the initiator, but her waist was suddenly tightly clamped.

"Hey ......"

"Don't move, let me x for a while."

Feeling that the chin was really resting on his shoulder, Chen Lan couldn't help but sigh, and had to lean on his arms. I thought it was just a matter of leaning on as he said, but then, she only felt a warm feeling coming from her ears, and the whole person suddenly softened for a while. She struggled weakly twice, and her voice was inevitably much weaker.

"Don't be here...... When the time comes, it will pollute this pool of water."

"You're the only one who cherishes these...... It's a hot spring, but it's still so strict and practical? What's the use of being soaked in water, I can see it clearly."

Chen Lan glanced down at the bandeau and pants that had been tightly attached to her body, and the next moment Leng Buding pulled her right hand and slammed her head back, but the feeling of hitting it was so hard that it didn't seem to be like flesh, and her elbow was sore and painful, she couldn't help but moan softly, however, the elbow fell into a rough slap.

"You're just not honest"

"Who asked you to mess with me" Chen Lan bit his lip lightly, and then muttered in a low voice, "I really don't know how to be funny......

Although the muttering voice was extremely soft, the two of them were originally close to each other, and Yang Jinzhou naturally heard it. After the initial stunned, he burst out laughing. Even if Chen Lan broke free in annoyance, picked up a large handful of water and poured it directly on him, he still didn't stop laughing, and then grabbed her arm and took the person in his arms.

"Why did I think you were calm and self-controlled, but I didn't realize that you still have so many weird thoughts in your heart?"

"Once upon a time, it was ...... in the past" Chen Lan replied lazily, and then Fang whispered, "I didn't know where my future was, and I never dared to let go, although the road ahead is still difficult, but after all, I have you by my side." ”

For Yang Jinzhou, this is undoubtedly a touching love story. He didn't answer anything, just gently hugged her and sat down. The two of them leaned against the edge of the pool, watching the curved moon suddenly show its face from the thick clouds, watching the rain in the sky gradually thinning, and watching the occasional blade of grass and trees gently fall into the water. I don't know how long it took, but the rain gradually fell heavier, hitting the soup pool bit by bit, stirring up a small whirlpool, and Yang Jinzhou suddenly sighed.

"Lan Lan."

Chen Lan, who had originally closed his eyes and recuperated, opened his eyes suddenly. After a long time, she didn't wait for the next sentence, she couldn't help but ask, "Is the situation in Yancheng very bad, so I want you to go over?" ”

"The messenger brought a secret letter, the matter was planned by His Royal Highness King Jing a long time ago, in fact, it was just a few salt lords in Yancheng who were making trouble, and the matter was easy to do, so I didn't need to come forward." Yang Jinzhou paused, and continued, "It's Tongzhou...... It's not Tongzhou on the edge of the capital, it's Nantong. While people are focusing on Huai'an, the real spearhead is in Tongzhou, to be precise, the island across the water. It has been reported that there are quite a few ships that have bypassed the port of Ningbo City, and the ships are from the Wa Kingdom. ”

Chen Lan didn't ask anything stupid about whether there was any danger. After a long silence, she only grabbed his shoulders as hard as iron and stone: "Then you go, here I am." ”

"It's not to go to war, it's not to kill people, the reason why I go is just an identity." Yang Jinzhou gently kissed Chen Lan's forehead as if comforting, and said in a low voice, "Xiao Shi's original nature is a little reckless, but with Mr. Bi Sasuke, it shouldn't be difficult to think about it, I'm only worried about you." In this way, I simply came forward to let you and your mother move to Wanquan Villa, and let Xiao Shi live in the puppet garden. I'll take care of everything else before I leave. ”

"Okay, okay, you're a man, what are you talking about all day long" Chen Lan squeezed his fist twice on him, which leaned over, "In short, you can rest assured"

"Sir, madam, it's raining heavily"

The two of them leaned against each other, and suddenly they heard a call outside. Chen Lan hurriedly pushed Yang Jinzhou away, and as soon as she looked up, the vast white mist between heaven and earth seemed to be deepening, and she was about to go ashore along the steps, but a hand was stretched out on the side, and she couldn't help but pull her: "Slow down, be careful of slipping under your feet"

As if in response to his reminder, Chen Lan really felt a loss of strength on his feet, and the whole person fell backwards at once. However, the expected fall into the water did not live, and her whole body suddenly took off, and immediately fell into a warm embrace. Looking sideways at the man who was holding himself steadily, and saw him shake it casually, shaking off the huge bath towel and wrapping it tightly around her, this hand covered the big bathrobe on his own body, she couldn't help but struggle and wanted to get off the ground, but a finger suddenly pressed against her lips.

"Don't be tough, it's raining, and you can't get used to wearing clogs, what if you slip again?"

"Where am I so delicate......"

said this, but Chen Lan didn't move anymore, just let him carry himself all the way out. When she saw the two girls who lowered their heads and pretended not to see anything at the gate of the courtyard, she still hurried not to turn her head. It wasn't until she entered the hut on the side that he was easily put down on the ground, and she immediately rushed into the shower room on the side, letting the hot water pour from head to toe, washing away the sweat and spring water, and at the same time, she couldn't help but shake her head slightly.

"Madame, ma'am?"

Hearing the sound outside, Chen Lan slapped the wall of the board, so that the water was cut off from the place next door where the water was boiled, and she came out wearing another big bath towel, but now Yang Jinzhou is no longer here, but it is Yun'er who is waiting there. Under the service of people, she changed into a household dress, and just wore her wet head, and went out from the other side. After walking along the long corridor for a while, when she arrived in the afternoon, when she entered the door, she saw Yang Jinzhou, who was already neatly dressed, and Jiang was sitting on the chair next to her.

"At this time...... Leaving soon? ”

"Well......" raised his head and looked at Chen Lan, Yang Jinzhou buckled his sword, stepped forward and hugged her gently, and let go of his hand, "Mother and family affairs, even those messy entertainments, I will leave it to you." I'll be back."

After saying this, he turned around, knelt down and solemnly kowtowed to the sitting Jiang Clan, then got up and strode out of the door without looking back. Seeing this scene, Yun'er, who had just planned to retreat, couldn't help but stand by the door and didn't know how to advance or retreat. Fortunately, she only stood for a long time before she saw Jiang waving at Chen Lan, and immediately pulled people into the east room.

"Ah Lan, all my brother told me what he had to say." Jiang paused as he spoke, hesitated for a while, and then pulled Chen Lan to sit down on the soft couch, "Brother Quan said that he only mentioned it to the outside world, this time he is going to Liujiazhuang in the southeast of Yancheng, and everything has been arranged over there, and there are more than ten or twenty personal soldiers who remain in this Wanquan Villa." He was originally going to keep Ah Hu, but I tried my best to get him to take people away. ”

"That's right, there is no reason to leave the warriors at home to watch the old and weak women and children, but let the lord go alone."

Jiang had long known about her daughter-in-law's sexuality, but after all, for this matter, she had just rejected her son's decision, and she couldn't help but feel a little more sorry in her heart. Seeing that the daughter-in-law lowered her head after saying this, as if she was still thinking about her son who had left, she pressed the white and delicate hand.

"Brother Quan said to me, Jiangnan is not very peaceful, there should still be people fighting your idea, I asked the reason but he refused to say...... It's not that I don't believe his words, but Ah Hu is a man, and he can't enter the inner house after all, if we don't go out, his role is not even as good as Changdi and red tassels. Moreover, that time you were able to escape under the hands of the master of Longquan Nunnery, wasn't it because you had that sword at hand, and the few tricks that Brother Quan taught you were also proficient? Although he is not here now, we can't just wait, starting tomorrow, let's learn those few swordsmanship together."

Chen Lanyuan was still a little absent-minded, but when she heard the latter sentence, she immediately raised her head. Seeing that Jiang didn't mean to joke at all, her face was full of solemnity, she unconsciously looked at the hand that was no longer young and delicate on the back of her hand, and then nodded slowly: "Mother is right, Uncle Quan can't stay at home all the time, I have to have the ability to protect myself after all."

"Good Boy"

The first half of the generation went from a pampered young lady to a young grandmother of the Xungui family, but in the next 20 years, when she was poor, she even had to deduct the rice she ate, but she worked hard, and Jiang subconsciously naturally hoped that her daughter-in-law was not the kind of coquettish and timid daughter-in-law, but a capable and responsible woman. Now her daughter-in-law is satisfied with almost every bit of her, but this unreassuring body is her big heart disease. She can see the depth of her son's affection for her daughter-in-law, and she also hopes that their pair of beautiful women can grow old with harmony and beauty, and now Chen Lan's answer immediately made her smile with joy.

smiled and hugged Chen Lan for a while, Jiang saw that her head was still wet, so he hurriedly instructed the girl to get a soft towel, and actually wrapped her up and dried it himself. Seeing Chen Lan moving uneasily, she said no more, so she smiled and said: "On weekdays, you are making clothes and housekeepers, and you have to pay attention to things outside, what are you worried about at this time?" I said that I treat you like your daughter, and your mother does this little thing for her daughter, but you still don't want to? ”

"Mother......

Chen Lan just screamed, and he couldn't speak anymore. Seeing that Jiang smiled and wiped her hair dry, and said in a chatter, Yang Jinzhou was like this in the past, and she had to dry her head for half a day as soon as she washed it, and she personally took a soft towel to squeeze out the water little by little, and she unconsciously relaxed and leaned on Jiang's arms. After a while, when she heard Jiang say something else, she was taken aback.

"Huang's mother said that the owner of this family is alone, and he has no family, so no one can come forward as soon as he leaves, so we can live with peace of mind, and the puppet garden and Wanquan Villa are not in the way. By the way, since Brother Quan is not here, we are staying with someone else, so we don't have to live separately like at home. I took a look, there were beds in the east and west rooms of this rain sound house, only there were bookshelves on the east side of the house, and the west room was a pure accommodation. You sleep in the east room, I sleep in the west room, and there is something to take care of. ”

Although Chen Lan was interested in the owner of the Doll Garden and Wanquan Villa, he was also indispensable, and he did not intend to get to the bottom of it, but the Jiang family actually said that he wanted to stay with her in this Yushengzhai, and the meaning was very different. She wanted to persuade a word or two, but, looking at her mother-in-law's unquestioning eyes, she had to swallow those words and nodded obediently.

Because it was not early, when Chen Lan was almost done, he first sent the Jiang family to the West House to sleep, and then turned around and entered the East House. Because I saw that Aunt Yun and Aunt Liu had already cleaned up the place with a few girls, the broken small lacquer bed had already hung up the tent and spread the futon, Aunt Yun was packing up a pillow there, patting it up and down with her hands for a while, turned around and stepped forward.

"Madame will be placed now?"

"It's still early, so I'll just read the book for a while." After all, Chen Lan still had things in his heart, and he couldn't sleep at this time, so he sat down on the edge of the bed and said to Aunt Yun, "Aunt Lao went to the bookbox to get a book...... Well, it's "Liuhe East Collection", I remember that the seventeenth volume of the last time just started. ”

Speaking of books, Aunt Yun couldn't help but exchange a look with Aunt Liu, who immediately found a reason and took several girls out of the house. At this time, Aunt Yun approached Chen Lan, bent down and whispered: "Madam, speaking of books, when the slave maid was tidying up her belongings today, the existing person stuffed a book in the baggage, which was full of Western characters, and the slave and maid couldn't recognize a word. Because the old lady still had something to do at that time, the slave only mentioned it to Sister Liu, and now she reports it. ”

A book? Western characters?

Chen Lan's heart was shocked, but his face was still as if nothing had happened, and he only pretended to be curious and said: "There are still people stuffing books with you, this is a bit interesting." Show me, maybe it's some kind of dumb riddle. By the way, bring a piece of the seventeenth volume of "Liuhe East Collection". ”

Aunt Yun agreed, and immediately went out, and after a while, she turned back, and before she got to the bed, she first gave the book "Liuhe East Collection" in her hand to Chen Lan, and then took out a book rolled together from her sleeve. Chen Lan took it and flipped through it casually, and then raised his eyebrows in surprise: "This is still printed, not a handwritten book?" Could it be that it is widely spread in Jiangnan and can be bought in bookstores? ”

"The slave and maid don't know...... I haven't had time to go out today. Or, tomorrow the slave maid will take it to the market and ask? ”

"I just said casually, don't be so troublesome" Chen Lan smiled and waved his hand, took the things and put them on the pillow, first opened the book of Liuhe Dongji, and then said to Aunt Yun casually, "Just leave someone to serve in the room, the lights will be lit first, and if I want to sleep, I will call someone." Auntie go and rest first, you don't have to stay up with me. ”

Aunt Yun knew Chen Lan's temper, so she didn't say anything more at the moment, and after curtsimming, she moved the glass lamp closer, just so that Chen Lan could reach the light, and quietly retreated. Seeing her go out, Chen Lan was still holding the book in her hand, and after a long time, she sighed softly and her eyes fell on the other book next to her pillow.

Although she had just flipped through it in front of Aunt Yun, she had confirmed that this was not the foreign language of the Latin family, but the pinyin that she was familiar with. It's only different from the handwritten words I've seen before, but these are printed copies, is it possible that the circulation of this book in Jiangnan is so deep and wide?

Chen Lan slowly stretched out his hand, took a deep breath and grabbed the book, and immediately turned the first page. However, after a cursory reading of the table of contents, she felt a huge shock in her mind, and the person who had just leaned against the wall sat up straight, and then read the titles again with an unbelievable expression.

"Introduction to Chemistry"

"Glassmaking"

Spinning Wheel Improvements

Chen Lan only roughly swept the series of headings below, however, except for the fact that there was no mention of firearms, the subheadings on the thin booklet were all extremely amazing. She had to wonder what kind of genius the person who left this thing behind, or if he had prepared for it before the crossing. Finally calming down the agitated mood, she slowly rolled back.

However, when she finished reading most of it, almost all of them were testimonials, from the panic of the first arrival of this era, to the resignation of fate, and then to the hard work that followed...... It's almost the whole mental journey of Mu Huan, the Duke of Chu. Although it was very rewarding to look at it, it was the things that were behind her that she was interested, so she quickly turned her heart to the next few pages. However, after reading those, she was annoyed to realize that this whole book turned out to be just a preface.

If you want to express the square words in pinyin, you can use a quill pen or something like that, plus today's paper, and you know that there is definitely more than one book in this book, and it may be like the forty-five volumes of the Liuhe East Collection, and dozens of books have to be printed. In this case, why this first volume was quietly placed in Aunt Yun's luggage, the answer is about to come out.

It's for temptation

Chen Lan instinctively sensed that there was an eye staring at him in the dark, and almost subconsciously threw the book aside. However, the moment she dropped it, she immediately woke up, and immediately pressed her chest to take a few deep breaths, and then calmed down. Since Concubine Wu Xian said last time that the master of Longquan Nunnery and Jiangnan have a communication, I don't know what to say, in this case, it is strange that others have not tried it for so long.

Thinking of this, she opened her mouth to call someone, and when she saw that it was a red snail in a large coat, she ordered him to put two books on the bookcase on the east side, and immediately fell asleep. Seeing that the tent outside had been put down and the lights had been turned off, she turned over and looked at the cordyceps tent against the wall. However, I thought she would not be able to sleep after tossing and turning, but she experienced too many things for about a whole day, but after a while, she gradually fell asleep.

In a trance, she seemed to see two men in brocade clothes standing in front of her who were talking, one of them waved his fists fiercely, and he didn't know what fierce words he was saying in his mouth, and the other was silent at first, but after arriving, he suddenly wiped it on his waist, and a bright sword appeared in his hand, and then he stabbed at the other party as if he was ruthless.

With an exclamation, Chen Lan felt that the whole person flicked violently, and he actually sat up. Looking at the tent around, it was still vaguely dark outside, and she was sweating profusely, and she suddenly leaned back, but when someone opened the tent and leaned in to ask, she didn't notice it, and only clenched her fists with herself.

Others will be tempted, she is not a soft nature to sit still, she is not as stunning as those two ancestors, but since such a thing has been sent to her by others, it is a great danger and a great opportunity
