Chapter 2: Who would refuse to be a scholar who can have three wives and four concubines
"The young master is back!"
As Xu Lan returned to the door of the house with his memory, at first several servants couldn't recognize Xu Lan, who was covered in mud, but after careful identification, they immediately entered the mansion to inform his wife.
"You can't take a shower and come back..."
Xu Lan looked down, because of the battle of wits and courage with Guan Chuchu in the cave, the originally clean robe was already covered in mud.
Moreover, Guan Chuchu took himself to a cave a hundred miles away from Qingcheng, and it was naturally not clean to walk back this way.
Not long after, a middle-aged beautiful woman walked out of the house followed by two young girls who were about fifteen or sixteen years old.
The three of them looked extremely anxious, and when they saw Xu Lan, who was safe and sound, standing in front of them, the three of them showed a relieved look.
Xu Lan's biological mother, Yan Yu.
As for the two young girls next to her, they were Yahuan who had just entered the house not long ago, one was called Qingluan and the other was Hongluan.
"The child is not filial, which makes the mother worried."
Xu Lan flashed a few fragments in his mind, and then stepped forward respectfully and saluted, although his predecessor grew up in a martial arts family, he didn't like to practice martial arts since he was a child, so his every move carried a bit of a sense of literary crepe.
It's not a big problem, let's pretend to be a reader for a while.
"Lan'er, how are you?"
The middle-aged beautiful woman took Xu Lan's hand and looked it up and down and asked, "Those thieves didn't hurt you, did they?" ”
"Mother, I'm fine."
Xu Lan smiled slightly, and he already had a prepared rhetoric in his heart.
"Those thieves have no ill will towards me, they escaped from the pursuit of Six Doors and let me back."
"Okay, okay, it's okay, my son's life is blessed by auspicious stars."
Yan Yu breathed a sigh of relief and said: "It's all because of the inaction of the yamen, in broad daylight, he can let thieves rob people in the city!" ”
"It's okay, that thief just thinks I'm a powerful kid because I'm too handsome and standing out in the crowd."
Xu Lan helped Yan Yu to walk in and said with a smile: "Next time I go out, I will pay attention." ”
He knew that this matter had nothing to do with the Qingzhou Yamen, it was the Great Chu Hanging Mirror Division that was chasing down the people of the Demon Sect.
But he can't say it, and if he says it, he'll be exposed.
"That is, my family Lan'er is like Pan Jun reincarnated."
Yan Yu felt from Xu Lan's conversation that he was indeed not frightened, and the big stone in his heart finally fell.
"Qingluan, let someone inform the yamen that the young master has returned, so I won't bother them to help find it."
"Hongluan, let people boil water to bathe and change clothes for the young master."
……
In the bedroom,
Xu Lan, who took off his clothes, soaked in the steaming wooden barrel, and the just right comfortable temperature made Xu Lan's whole body relax.
After a long time, Xu Lan opened his eyes and glanced at the saber that he had hung on the wall, which Guan Chuchu had left before leaving.
A very ordinary long sword, so ordinary that no one took a second look at it when it was thrown into the armory.
But at this moment, it had a different meaning for Xu Lan, so Xu Lan decided to bring it back.
"Wait, Guan Chuchu, when the time comes, let's see if your mouth is hard or my sword is hard."
At this moment, the closed door was slowly pushed open, and Xu Lan looked up to find that it was Hongluan who walked in with a red face and a bowed head.
A big question mark appeared in Xu Lan's mind, I'm taking a bath, hey!
"Childe, I'm here."
???
Hongluan is only fifteen or sixteen years old!!
Did you play so hard before?
At this time, Xu Lan was even a little envious of the life of a scholar, but after some recollection, he was sure that nothing had happened to him and Hongluan.
In most cases, when you are bathing, let Hongluan or Qingluan rub your shoulders or something.
Well, it's a very pure master-servant relationship.
Xu Lan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, if something really happened, it would be too punishable.
Let Hongluan walk behind him and start rubbing his shoulders, not to mention, he is not very old, but his strength is just right.
"What an enviable reader..."
Xu Lan narrowed his eyes slightly and went directly into a state of enjoyment, and he didn't know how long it had passed, and Qingluan's voice came from outside the door.
"Childe, someone is here at the Yamen, and Madame asked me to invite you over."
As you guessed, the yamen... No, it's supposed to be someone from the Hanging Mirror Division.
Xu Lan didn't feel too surprised when he opened his eyes, people who didn't know just thought that the Yamen's arrest was chasing the thief, but in fact, the Great Chu Hanging Mirror Division was chasing the Demon Sect's alternate saintess Guan Chuchu.
It was inconceivable that he, a powerless person, could safely return from the Demon Sect's Saint Candidate Saintess.
"Okay, I got it."
Changing into a clean white robe again, Xu Lan was quite surprised when he looked at himself in the bronze mirror.
"Dude kills."
Four words, just the right evaluation.
No wonder Guan Chuchu saw herself at a glance in the crowd, she really didn't blame her for this.
Then Xu Lan appeared in the living room of the Xu Mansion, at this time Yan Yu was dealing with an old man in an official uniform, and there were more than a dozen people in red robes who were caught by the six doors.
Suddenly, more than a dozen eyes fell on him in unison.
Among them, there were two or three eyes like torches that made Xu Lan quite uncomfortable, probably... It's kind of like being targeted by a ferocious beast.
"Lan'er is here."
Yan Yu also introduced after seeing Xu Lan appear: "This is Lord Lin, the prefect. ”
"The students have seen Lord Lin."
Xu Lan has gradually accepted the premise that he is a scholar, after all, who would refuse to live as a scholar with three wives and four concubines?
When the corner of his eye swept over the catchers behind Governor Lin, he knew in his heart, who was catching fast and who was not, and he could clearly distinguish from the position and posture they were standing.
For example, the few catchers standing in the corner of the wall are not right at first glance.
Governor Lin is the most powerful official in Qingzhou, and when he is present, ordinary catchers will naturally make all kinds of gestures to make a good impression as much as possible.
But those people didn't, but they looked like they didn't care about themselves, which was too conspicuous.
"It was the official's dereliction of duty that frightened the virtuous nephew."
The elderly Governor Lin carefully looked at Xu Lan in front of him, and then greeted: "Although the virtuous nephew has escaped, according to the yamen process, I still need to record a confession for you." ”
"Lord Lin, what do you mean by that?"
Hearing this, Yan Yu frowned and said coldly: "Could it be that my child can still be guilty?" ”
"No, no, no, Madame misunderstood."
Governor Lin said with a smile on his face: "This is just some of the processes of the Yamen, please be considerate and considerate." ”
"Mother, cooperating with the yamen is also within my responsibility."
Xu Lan on the side said: "Besides, it's just a confession." ”
Then his eyes fell on Governor Lin, clasped his fists and said with a smile: "Lord Lin, students can do it at any time." ”
"Okay."
Seeing Xu Lan like this, Governor Lin also nodded and said, "It's just a process, just ask in Xu's Mansion." ”
"That's pretty much it."
Seeing this, Yan Yu breathed a sigh of relief slightly, she thought that the government was going to send her son to the yamen for interrogation.
"Chen Da... Chen Ci, you can record a confession for Xu Gongzi. ”
At this time, Governor Lin turned to look at the crowd, and seemed to casually name one of the catchers.
And this catcher is naturally one of those who stand in the corner.
"Yes."
Chen Ci walked out of the crowd, and when she approached, Xu Lan couldn't help but look sideways.
Her jet-black hair is coiled high, her eyes and teeth are bright, and her delicate facial features are not as beautiful as in the world, but people still can't help but praise her for being so handsome.
In addition, what impressed Xu Lan the most was her long legs, and the bloated fast trapping clothes on her body could not hide the advantages of her long legs.
The slender and slender hand was on the hilt of the sword at his waist, and his gestures were full of heroism.
"What a handsome girl."
Even Yan Yu couldn't help but praise, wondering when did the Qingzhou Yamen have such a handsome female catcher?
