A hint of surprise flashed in Xiao Jie's eyes, and then he recovered his expression and said respectfully: "Yes, eldest miss." ”

"Wait, don't let anyone notice."

"Yes, Miss, please rest assured."

With that, he exited the study and closed the door again.

An Ning carefully shredded the paper in her hand, threw it into the charcoal basin at her feet, and watched it turn into ashes little by little.

Ten in the evening of the third day.

Xiao Jue quietly put the things he found on the desk where An Ning was located.

When Xiao decided to retreat, An Ning slowly put down the pen in his hand and looked at the ink in front of him, "The immortals under the moon drink alone." ”

The back in this painting looks like a fairy but not a fairy, which reminds her of Mr. Gu a few days ago.

An Ning shook her head with a chuckle, secretly wondering what she was thinking.

Then she picked up the envelope that Xiao Ju had presented on the table, and after half a ring, there was a piercing coldness in her eyes.

Sure enough, the county magistrate of Quxian County doesn't even have a daughter, and in her previous life, she was a concubine who suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and then look at the county magistrate of Canal Feng County, there is a concubine named Allure, but she is not surnamed Ye.

An Ning put the stack of papers that he had just finished reading on the table, and looked at the last piece of paper in his hand, on which an address was written.

Thirty miles away on the outskirts of Kyoto, Peach Blossom Village.

It seems that she is going to meet this Ye girl.

Early the next morning, An Ning set off.

Thirty miles is not close, but it is not far away, and it will arrive in about an hour.

An Ning got out of the carriage, and what he saw was the entrance to the village, and there was a plaque hanging sparsely above the door, with the words Peach Blossom Village written on it, and it should have been hung not long ago, but it was slanted by the wind blowing in the past few days. Look at the three words of Peach Blossom Village on the plaque, which are written in small letters, the pen is gentle and graceful, and it can be seen that the author's heart must be not arrogant and talented.

As soon as I walked into the village, I saw such a scene, when autumn came, thousands of flowers fell, and when it was depressed.

Such a large peach tree, with bare branches, and there are already rotten flowers on the ground, and the red peach blossoms have long been lost in the spring, and now they come in the autumn, but it is a little sad for no reason.

Walking along the only road at the door, it was very cold, there were almost no people, only some elderly women and grandfathers, probably young people are developing in Kyoto, leaving these old people to retire here leisurely.

"Girl, who are you looking for?" An old woman with a cane asked as she boiled water.

An Ning smiled and replied politely: "I don't know if the old man knows that there is a girl of my age in this village, where does she live?" ”

The old man replied tremblingly: "Oh, you said that the girl of Allure, you, follow this road to the end, and you will arrive." ”

An Ning politely thanked him and walked towards the innermost part of the village.

Finally, at the end, I saw a woman dressed in green clothes, sitting on the stump in front of the house, holding a puff fan in her hand and fanning the teapot in front of her.

The fragrance of tea instantly invaded Anning's nose, deep and far-reaching, bitter and mellow.

Good tea.

At this time, Allure slowly turned his head sideways and looked at Anning.

The eyes are facing each other.

An Ning felt at this moment that this was a familiar face, but it was a strange face.

Countless times in her previous life, she was jealous because of the woman in front of her, because the woman in front of her was heartbroken with Canglan, Canglan liked Ye Qingcheng, and every time she came to her house, she would say a lot of harsh and heartbreaking words.

"Why aren't you half sensible?"

"Why are you as good as Allure?"

"You'd better not give half of the grievances to Allure in the palace."

···

All sorts of words rang in her head.

In her impression, every time Ye Tingcheng is there, she will pretend to be weak and innocent, there is always some unclear victory in her eyes, where she is, she can instantly absorb all the attention of Canglan, and for a while she was favored in the palace, she was an important figure in the plot of her and Canglan's abusive heart, which aggravated the contradiction, until later Canglan suddenly woke up and said that she wanted to be a couple for the rest of her life, so she sent all the concubines in the harem out of the palace, including Ye Tingcheng, she didn't know what the second half of Ye Tingcheng's life was.

In his previous life, An Ning hated Ye Qingcheng, and felt that without her, Canglan would fall in love with him. At that time, Ye Tingcheng used a lot of means to compete for favor, and it seemed that his love for Canglan was not inferior to her, but I didn't know if there was a plot in it. After all, how could such a girl with such a temperament be reduced to a member of the palace in the end.

An Ning stepped on the dead leaves under her feet, slowly walked forward, stopped in front of Ye Tingcheng, gave a salute, and said gently: "Can you ask the girl for a cup of tea?" ”

This time, she didn't come with malice.

A trace of surprise flashed in Ye Tingcheng's eyes, looking at the past from Ye Tingcheng's perspective, the person who came was dressed in a light purple shirt, a soft fabric like smoke, at first glance, it was either rich or expensive, and his hair was like a waterfall, bright as silk, and he simply used a white magnolia hairpin. The temperament of the body is not like that of ordinary nobles, with some indifference and atmosphere, like the temperament of a superior, but with the smell of books, it is natural and unique. That face is amazing at a glance, and anyone who has seen it will have an impression.

Ye Chengcheng came back to his senses and said softly, "Girl, please take a seat." Opposite her, there was also a tree stump, which was covered with some dead leaves, and An Ning didn't care, and sat down slowly with a flick of his sleeve. I saw Ye Chengcheng pick up the hot teapot, pour the green tea into the delicate teacup, and hand it to her, "It's not a good tea, don't dislike it, girl." ”

An Ning brushed open his sleeves and took it with his hand, "How could it be." ”

Mellow in the mouth, fragrant in the mouth.

Tea is not a good tea, but tea skills are definitely good tea skills.

After sipping the tea in Anning, put down the teacup, listen carefully to the sound of the wind, the sound of the leaves rubbing, and at this time there is a little bit of quiet appearance.

The two were relatively speechless, not knowing who they were waiting for to speak.

At this time, a fallen leaf from nowhere floated in front of Ye Tingcheng, Ye Tingcheng picked up the leaf, put it on his cuffs, and chuckled, and said softly: "The fallen leaves still have a few colors, if they are made into bookmarks, they can be kept for a longer time, but unfortunately nothing in the world is eternal." There was a bit of inexplicable sadness in her eyes.

An Ning's voice was slightly dark, and her eyes brightened a little, "It turns out that the girl is a lotus." ”

The lotus flower is independent and has an indifferent fragrance.

Ye Tingcheng smiled, "The girl praises falsely." ”

An Ning also lowered her head and smiled, this smile was a relief from that time, and then she raised her head and said word by word: "I am An Ning of the General's Mansion." ”

When Ye Tingcheng heard this, his eyes were not shocked, only a trace of surprise flashed, it was fleeting, and his tone was still gentle, without the slightest change, "It turned out to be Miss An, Miss An, why did you come all the way to find me?" ”
