After a month's journey, all four of them were a little tired.

"Well, after such a long journey, it's time to rest, find an inn, let's rest." As soon as Mo Lan got out of the carriage and was about to leave, she saw a familiar figure.

The man was dressed in white with a fluttering white crown, a jade crown and his hair tied up, holding a pile of account books in his hand, shaking his head frequently, and saying something to the innkeeper.

Mo Lan walked up to him and tapped him on the shoulder with a fan, "My son came here to eat and drink, I don't know if Master Shen will give him an account!" ”

Shen Shiyuan heard the familiar voice and turned his head in some surprise.

"Mo Lan, why are you here?" There was a hint of tremor in his voice, even excitement.

Maybe Shen Shiyuan was too elegant, Mo Lan was a little embarrassed to open the fan to cover his face and said, "Cough, this son came out to practice." ”

Shen Shiyuan rubbed her head: "Since Master Mo is here to appreciate his face, he must let you eat and drink well." ”

Mo Lan blushed a little, she couldn't resist this kind of elegant son.

Although Shen Shiyuan was born as a businessman, he didn't have any copper smell on his body, and his own cultivation was not low, so he would always spoil her.

Shen Shiyuan took him to the teahouse to listen to the book, and the music was singing downstairs, but she couldn't understand it.

"Brother Shen, why did you come here at this time?"

Shen Shiyuan took out a box from his arms and put it in front of her: "It's the end of the year, I'll reconcile, what about you?" Sneak out to play? ”

Mo Lan opened the box, and inside was a jade hairpin that had always been delicate, carved into the shape of a lotus flower. Put away the hairpin and hand it to Ai Xiang on the side: "Go play, Brother Shen will send me back in a while." ”

"I got into a big accident and was punished by my father for going out to practice."

Shen Shiyuan stroked the teacup and said with a smile: "Well, it is true that only you can cause great trouble." ”

Mo Lan looked at him angrily, I didn't see that you were handsome, I would have beaten you.

This guy's fingers are so beautiful, the joints are distinct, and they are very slender, so I want to touch them.

"Phew!"

A screen was moved in the lobby downstairs, and an old man walked out of the back hall, and he couldn't see what he looked like.

"Anyway, our Zhizhou Gan Rui of Liushan Prefecture has married five ladies before and after, and he will marry a sixth lady in the near future, you are objective and listen to me carefully."

It turned out that Gan Rui's previous wives had died, and later asked the fortune teller to come and see the eight characters, which turned out to be too prosperous, and ordinary women married him without this blessing, and they had to be noble women.

The previous wives were either merchant women or lowly officials in the family. Two months ago, when the assassin of Heding Mansion heard about this, he asked his daughter-in-law to marry him.

Some of the people in the entire state capital silently ridiculed, and some people envied him for entering the high gate.

Only he is himself, he is not shocked, he is diligent every day, and he is also kind and polite to the people.

"By the way, this teahouse belongs to yours, right?" Mo Lan put down the teacup and rubbed her little hands, not knowing what bad idea she had.

Shen Shiyuan leaned on the railing, his hand propped his chin and looked at her: "What?" Got an idea? ”

Mo Lan swallowed her saliva, my mother, stunning!

I almost forgot to get down to business: "I have some stories here, I promise you haven't heard them, I can dictate the stories to you, make money, let's five or five points." ”

"Mo Lan can also tell stories, I'll listen to it first, and I'll promise you if it's good."

Mo Lan wiped her saliva and first told some small stories, "The Peacock Flies Southeast", "Du Shi Niang's Angry Sinking Treasure Chest", and a small part of "Strange Tales from Liaozhai".

Shen Shiyuan was a little fascinated when he heard this, but Mo Lan stopped when he was most fascinated.

"Well, okay, I have a lot of stories that I can tell hundreds of times." Fortunately, when I was studying, I read extracurricular books carefully, and I was not idle in college.

Shen Shiyuan was a little surprised, "Where did Mo Lan hear about this?" ”

"I heard what the immortals said in my dreams." Mo Lan made up a lie, and looked at him without blushing or panting.

"Okay, I promise you, but Mofu shouldn't be short of money, haven't you caused some trouble, and you want to fill it with money?" Lord Mo is spoiled by her, why do you want money?

Mo Lan held her chin and looked melancholy: "Alas~ You don't understand, my father is an honest official on weekdays, and there are few shops under my mother's name, so I am afraid that I will not have a decent dowry if I marry in the future." ”

Shen Shiyuan suddenly tensed up, yes, she has a marriage contract with the fifth prince, and he still doesn't want to think about those things that shouldn't be considered.

Mo Lan said this, but she was muttering in her heart, who would think that there is a lot of money, and she is not a fool.

The literati of 5,000 years in China, your works, hehe, bring them!

Later, Shen Shiyuan took her to eat a lot of snacks, and when she returned to the inn, she couldn't eat.

After playing for a few days, just as Mo Lan was about to say goodbye, Shen Shiyuan received an invitation from Gan Ruizhi.

Out of curiosity, Mo Lan planned to follow him to meet the big red man.

Mo Lan sat in the carriage of the Shen family and followed Shen Shiyuan to the Zhizhou Mansion, and as soon as she got off the carriage, she knew what a fox and a fake tiger were.

Shen Shiyuan was a guest, and even brought her to receive the best reception.

It is not taboo for men and women to sit at the same table in this world banquet, so when Mo Lan sat next to Shen Shiyuan, some young ladies of the family were eager to stare at her.

The auspicious time has not yet arrived, and it is already full of friends. Suddenly, firecrackers crackled outside, and the newcomer came.

That Gan Ruizhi is about thirty years old, and at this moment it is the spring breeze on his face, holding the red silk, and walking forward step by step with the bride.

However, the two above the high hall didn't look very happy, and the smiles on their faces were squeezed out.

Maybe this son has been married too many times and is already tired.

However, during the banquet, Mo Lan heard more gossip.

These people can't keep their mouths idle while eating.

It is said that Gan Rui's wife married one after another, and she either died or disappeared.

Now he is also married to the daughter of the assassin, maybe the assassin sent his daughter to suppress him.

Later, the more he talked about it, the more outrageous it became, until Gan Ruizhi came over to toast, and the man kept mocking in his mouth.

Gan Ruizhi didn't care, raised his glass and looked around, drank it all and went to another table.

There are always these people in this world, who hate others and laugh at others.

"That person is Gan Zhizhou's cousin, Gan Daren was originally a son of a poor family, and he has achieved today's achievements by relying on his own efforts." Shen Shiyuan suddenly leaned over.

Mo Lan blushed a little uncomfortably, but fortunately she drank a lot of wine, and no one could see it.

"Why are you talking to me about this all of a sudden?"

Shen Shiyuan leaned into her ear and said, "Because your ears are going to be born to that person's mouth." After saying that, there was a low chuckle, and the breath sprayed on her neck, making her stand up suddenly.

"Ahem, I'm going to sober up."

Mo Lan wandered around the Zhizhou Mansion, and heard that the Gan family's mansion had been uninhabited before, until Gan Rui took office, and this mansion was assigned to him.

It seems that some sect stayed, Gan Ruizhi is an honest official, and he only chose a few courtyards to live in after painting, and other places are still the same.

Walking to a courtyard, the lights were bright, and the sound of smashing dishes came from inside: "Miss Ben doesn't eat this, and when I'm hungry, I'll send me a few pastries a day." ”

Oh, the bride is so hungry that she gets angry, too, if it's her, if she is hungry for a day, her temper will be bad.

This place should not stay for a long time, slip away.

As soon as Mo Lan slipped out of Gan's mansion, she bumped into Shen Shiyuan at the door.

"Come out, you were in a hurry just now, and you forgot to tell you that Lord Gan is going to the new lady's courtyard after toasting, don't go over there." After Shen Shiyuan finished speaking, he stretched out his hand to rub Mo Lan's head.

Mo Lan subconsciously dodged, Shen Shiyuan's hand stopped in mid-air and was a little embarrassed, and he smiled and put his hand down.

"That, Brother Shen, don't get me wrong, I'm just a little dizzy, unsteady, and dangling." Mo Lan immediately shook from side to side and explained.

But it seems to be more embarrassing!

Shen Shiyuan's fist hidden in his sleeve clenched, and let Ai Xiang, who was waiting on the side, help her.

The group did not speak until they returned to the inn.

Mo Lan was about to say something, but Shen Shiyuan interrupted her: "I know, go and rest!" ”

I know, I know, she hasn't said yet.

Seeing Mo Lan return to the room, Shen Shiyuan turned around and went back to his room.

Ah Yi behind him shook his head helplessly.

"Why didn't Childe express his heart to Miss Mo? What if Miss Mo also likes you? ”

Shen Shiyuan knocked on his head. "Mouthy!"

He didn't want to, but she was given marriage by the first emperor just after she was born, and no matter how unwilling he was, he could only put it in his heart.

Because once it is said, no matter whether Mo Lan accepts it or not, it will not end well.

Behind both of them are families that need to be guarded, their own responsibilities.

Even if she wants to be selfish and desperate, if Mo Lan doesn't have this idea, she may be pushed farther and farther away.

"Go back to your room. By the way, let's talk about how the account is right today. ”

Ah Yi still didn't give up: "Childe, you really don't think about ......"

Shen Shiyuan smiled, "Ah Yi, why do you talk more than my father." ”

Ah Yi's chest straightened, "How is it possible, how can there be more people in this world than the old man." Alas! Childe, wait for me. ”

Mo Lan leaned against the door and listened to the conversation between the two, her thoughts a little confused.

On the second day, the whole state was immersed in the joy of Zhizhou's wedding, and with it, Gan Ruizhi was imprisoned.

Zhuo Ying died in the Zhizhou Mansion last night.

According to the next person, this young lady is quite domineering, and last night she didn't pick Xipa and gave Gan Ruizhi a dismount, and then the two quarreled, and Gan Ruizhi was so angry that he broke out of the door directly and went to sleep in another courtyard.

Early in the morning, when the servant went to call Lou Zhuoying, he found that she was dead. The contents of the room were smashed and messed up.

In a fit of rage, Assassin Shi sent troops to arrest Gan Ruizhi and asked him why he killed his daughter.

Fortunately, the prefect Liu Xuezhou stopped him, otherwise Gan Ruizhi would have been buried with Lou Zhuoying at this moment.

Mo Lan pursed her lips after hearing this, every family has a scripture that is difficult to read.

Carrying a small bag and preparing to leave, the horse was suddenly startled, and ran rampant through the street, running towards the yamen.

Mo Lan finally stopped the horse, and when she turned her head, she saw Gong Yi wearing a mask and motionless there.

"It's coming. Let's go inside. ”

In, where to go? Yamen? Don't you want to torture people so much, don't you always check it yourself?

Shen Shiyuan, who came later, saw Gong Yi and saluted: "Seventeen princes!" ”

Gong Yi looked at him, and then at Mo Lan.

"Mo Gongzi is really leisurely, it seems that Shen Gongzi has taken you to play all over Liushan Prefecture in the past few days."

Mo Lan was taken aback, no, this guy is so careful, isn't he just playing for a few days.
