Jiangshan is hired [rebirth]

Chapter 34

After being tempted by someone in West Market that day, Huo Lan didn't encounter anything again.In fact, she didn't have a chance to meet them either. Wen Taicang found a new place for her to practice martial arts in the mansion these days. Huo Lan still got up at Yin time every day, practiced martial arts in the morning, and studied with Yun Miaoqing in the afternoon. Life was not much different from before. .

Well, there are still distinctions.

For example, when she was practicing martial arts with Wen Taicang in the mountains, at most there were a few curious birds squatting on the branches and looking at her with tilted heads, but now——

"Come on, Uncle!"

"Uncle stop lying down, get up and beat him!"

"Uncle, can you do it like this, here, like this!"

……

Outside the field, Yun Muchen, a loyal spectator, came to see Huo Lan's training every day.The little girl is just naughty and smart, not to mention the nanny alone, even two or three maidservants together can't look down on her, Yun Muchen will always find a way to get rid of the people following her and sneak over by herself .

This is the place where Wen Taicang practiced martial arts in the past, surrounded by servants, so he didn't worry about Yun Muchen breaking in and being accidentally injured, but Yun Muchen, the audience, not only watched, but also talked all the time, which affected Huo Lan a lot.

"This kind of interference makes you absent-minded. When you are facing the enemy, if someone calls you by the side, don't you take the initiative to send your neck to someone else's knife?"

Wen Taicang raised his blade and overturned Huo Lan again.

No, can this be the same!Huo Lan lay on the ground panting.It would be fine if she was called by her name, but Yun Muchen kept saying "uncle" and it made her think of Yun Miaoqing, how much she thought about Yun Miaoqing, and some things about living in Yunfu during this time.

Ever since Yun Muchen asked that question on the first day she entered the mansion, the little girl couldn't change her words. Shuangya corrected her several times, and Yun Muchen could still call her "Huo Lan" in front of her mother. Uncle", she called "uncle" and "uncle" when Shuangya was away.

"Tong Yan Wuji, don't care about her, she calls you 'uncle', isn't that just a cover for your identity?" Yun Miaoqing said.

Seeing that Yun Miaoqing didn't care about it, Huo Lan asked Yun Shujian again when everyone got together.

"She calls it that way...wouldn't it be bad for Miao Qing's reputation, after all, I don't have that kind of relationship with Miao Qing..."

"It's okay, anyway, it's almost spread in the capital now, saying that Miss Yun's family brought back a poor boy from the countryside, who loves him to death, and it's not bad for Xiaochen."

What's going on in the capital?Huo Lan was surprised, why didn't she know that Yun Miaoqing loved her to death?

Huo Lan didn't know exactly what the people in the capital said, but she had heard the people in Songluan County talk about them before, and thinking of those words, Huo Lan's face suddenly became ugly.

"Hey, what's the matter, don't take it to heart, how do you know that my sister is not happy with the situation?"

Huo Lan was puzzled, how could anyone be happy to see their reputation ruined like this.

Yun Shujian waved his hand and said, "It means that my father is gone. If he is still here, my sister will bring back a poor country boy or a woman, or bring back a dog and tell my father that she wants to marry him." , my father would slap his thigh and say, 'As expected of my daughter, she has a special vision'!"

Huo Lan: "..."

"Then what, I didn't mean you are a dog, I just used an analogy, that's all..." Yun Shujian rubbed his nose and smiled apologetically.

Huo Lan: "..." Thank you so much.

Yun Shujian wanted to say more, but Shuang Ya grabbed her ear and took her away.Yun Miaoqing covered her mouth, the fox ears on her head twitched: "I didn't say it this time."

Yun Shujian's painful cry of "Ouch, Ouch" being dragged by his wife still rang in his ears, Huo Lan looked at Yun Shujian's back, and finally understood Ginkgo's indescribable expression when he talked about their young master that day.

Huo Lan shook his head, drove these messy memories out of his mind, and got up again on the ground.

"Master Wen, Mr. Huo, Miss said that you should come over after lunch." A maid came and shouted at them from a distance outside the venue.

Wen Taicang nodded to the maidservant, Huo Lan concentrated his attention, after the morning practice, the two went back to their rooms for dinner, and arrived at Yun Miaoqing's residence one after the other.

Yun Miaoqing was not the only one in the room, Yun Shujian and his wife were already sitting here.

Seeing people coming together, Yun Shujian said: "Today, the palace issued a decree that His Majesty will hold a banquet in the palace on the [-]th of the year. At that time, all officials and family members above the sixth rank in Beijing will attend, and some have already retired. Veterans are also invited."

"In previous years, didn't only the princes and princesses and the relatives of the royal family participated." Wen Taicang frowned, "I remember that the ministers were given banquets in the palace, and they celebrated the New Year at home."

"That's not it. I was telling the letter just now that there must be a lot of officials and family members above the sixth rank..." Shuangya sighed.

"Your Majesty means that June next year will be his birthday, the [-]th birthday. To celebrate his birthday, the palace has invited many famous theater troupes from all over the world to rehearse. These people will come anyway, Now that I live in the palace, the opportunity is rare, why not show everyone a few performances on New Year's Eve, so that everyone can have fun and have an atmosphere in advance."

Yun Shujian paused at this point, and then said: "But, that's what you said, after all, it's been many years since a banquet like this has happened to the officials. Many people speculate wildly in private, and they say everything Most of them thought that His Majesty probably wanted to publicly test the knowledge of the princes at the palace banquet. After all, it has been so many years since Prince Pingzhang was deposed, and His Majesty has been ill several times this year, and his health is getting worse day by day. It's time to make up your mind to establish a new prince."

However, Yun Miaoqing felt that maybe His Majesty would also like to take this opportunity to meet Huo Lan, not to say that he made such a banquet specially to meet Huo Lan, but judging from the news that Du Shouming handed over, it would be nice to see him by the way. Still quite possible.Not only to meet Huo Lan, but also very likely to meet Wen Tai Cang.

"It's only a few days before the thirtieth, and the invitations from the palace will be sent out tomorrow at the latest, and you can know the name by then." Yun Miaoqing said.

"Am I going to enter the palace too?" Wen Taicang was a little surprised. After all, Yun Zhimiao was only his adoptive father. His biological father was dead, and he had committed serious crimes. Although he escaped death in the end, all the glory of his ancestors None inherited.Besides, there is no one in his family anymore, whether it is an official of the sixth rank or above or a retired veteran, he can't get involved.

"Be prepared. My mother got some advice from the Queen Mother. After suffering several illnesses this year, His Majesty suddenly became nostalgic, and often called some old officials into the palace to recall the past. Du Shouming always knows how to play the emotional card. I guess since he It can make His Majesty want to see Huo Lan, and you taught Huo Lan's martial arts, His Majesty will probably want to see you."

After Yun Miaoqing finished speaking, everyone chatted together for a while, Yun Shujian and Shuangya got up to say goodbye, and Wen Taicang also left.

Before leaving, Yun Shujian said to Yun Miaoqing: "I asked about the matter you asked me last time, and said that some refugees from Fuzhou recently came to steal and rob in the capital, and someone reported it to the government, so They sent someone to catch them."

"Refugees from Fuzhou...how come here in the capital?" Yun Miaoqing frowned slightly. Fuzhou is in the southwest, thousands of miles away from the capital. Since they are refugees, they should not have much money. Traveling through mountains and rivers and suffering so much to come to the capital just to steal and rob?

"I don't know about that. The newly appointed governor of the Qingjing government manages the Qingjing government like an iron bucket. I can ask you this because I have many good friends. If I ask a few more questions, Qing It's time for Jingfu Yin to invite me to drink tea with him."

Yun Miaoqing felt that this matter was a bit weird, but they were busy enough now, and they didn't have the time to meddle in other people's business.After Yun Shujian and the others left, Yun Miaoqing taught Huo Lan the etiquette to pay attention to when entering the palace, and how to answer some questions if His Majesty asked him.

Ever since the day Yun Miaoqing decided to go back to Beijing to help Huo Lan, she has deliberately corrected Huo Lan's unmanly gestures. She has been training for three months now, doing some tricks on the clothes and putting on some makeup on her face , it seems that Huo Lan is a handsome young man, not very feminine.

On the second day, invitations from the palace were sent to the relevant people's houses one after another, and the invitations sent to Yun's house were indeed as Yun Miaoqing guessed, Huo Lan and Wen Taicang's names were included.

Next, three years after Yun Zhimiao's death, all the things related to funerals were taken down and burned in Yun's residence, and red lanterns were hung up to match the New Year's atmosphere.

In the evening, the whole family of Yun's family gathered together to pay respects to Yun Zhimiao. After dinner, they went back to their room to rest early, preparing to go to the palace to face the saint the next day.

Huo Lan still woke up very early in the morning, but she didn't go anywhere. Yun Miaoqing told her yesterday to stay in the room and wait for her to come.

Although Huo Lan thought about going to the palace today, and Yun Miaoqing is out of the filial piety period, she can wear beautiful jewelry and clothes of various colors, and she will definitely look beautiful. The moment she entered the room, she was still amazed by what she saw.

If Yun Miaoqing used to be like an untainted fairy in the sky, now she is a flower demon in the world.It's not right to say that, she has the charm of a flower, but she doesn't have the charm of a demon. She still looks dignified, but there is an extraordinary aura in this dignified, which makes her look extraordinarily moving.

"Does it look good?" Yun Miaoqing entered the door, seeing Huo Lan looking at her with bewildered eyes, she felt very happy and wanted to tease Huo Lan.

"It looks good." Huo Lan replied honestly.

"Does the clothes look good or do I look good?"

Yun Miaoqing approached Huo Lan, and as she got closer, Huo Lan could smell the faint fragrance of Yun Miaoqing's body again.Normally Huo Lan wouldn't be able to answer this question, but now, Huo Lan looked at Yun Miaoqing's face close at hand, as well as his own reflection in Yun Miaoqing's eyes, his heart felt hot, and he murmured: "You look good."

Although Huo Lan had already spoken, she actually didn't realize what she said at that moment.She stared blankly at Yun Miaoqing's eyes, and there was only one thought in her mind.

She sees me...

Huo Lan tilted his head slightly, and the little figure in Yun Miaoqing's pupil also turned his head, Huo Lan pursed his lower lip, and the little figure in Yun Miaoqing's pupil also pursed his lower lip.

This is obviously just a normal phenomenon, but Huo Lan still gained indescribable joy and satisfaction from it, so that she was distracted for a long time before remembering what she just said.

A trace of blush crawled up Huo Lan's cheeks, even though she could now occasionally handle Yun Miaoqing's teasing words, she would still be touched by Yun Miaoqing inadvertently, and then feel sorry for her accidentally revealed sincerity I'm ashamed.

Not everyone is as shameless as Yun Miaoqing!

While condemning Yun Miaoqing in his heart, Huo Lan was secretly overjoyed.Although she was embarrassed every time she finished speaking, she actually liked to reveal her love to Yun Miaoqing.

If you like someone, why don't you want to share it with that person? Even if it's a joke, it's very happy to say it secretly.

Yun Miaoqing watched Huo Lan blushing little by little, and was so cute by Huo Lan's reaction.The little cub I raised was as fierce as a little wolf outside, but in front of her, he obediently put away all his paws, knowing that she was teasing her, and deliberately exposed his fluffy belly to let her hurt Knead.

Seriously speaking, it can't be regarded as a cub.Huo Lan was a little shorter than her when she first came here, and she probably hadn't had enough to eat, so she was so thin that she looked very small.In the past few years, she has been raised well with her. Not to mention the flesh that should have grown, she has also grown a bit taller.

It stands to reason that a girl of Huo Lan's age at that time could not grow taller anymore, but Huo Lan has indeed grown taller. Now Yun Miaoqing is standing side by side with Huo Lan, and the people beside her can clearly see that Huo Lan is taller than her. About two knuckles higher.

Yun Miaoqing asked Huo Lan to change into the clothes she had prepared in advance, and put on Huo Lan's make-up carefully. She pulled them together and stood in front of the bronze mirror for a while, and said with satisfaction, "It looks pretty good."

Good match?Huo Lan stared at the mirror, unable to feel it.The person in the mirror was wearing clothes she had never worn, and her face looked a little strange because of the camouflage makeup.

Most importantly, it was a man.

That's right, when it comes to the word "good match", what it corresponds to is "golden boy and jade girl", "gifted man and beautiful woman", "talented man and beautiful woman"... After all, they are always a man and a woman. When have there been two women?

So Yun Miaoqing will also fall in love with a man, and marry that man in the end... Huo Lan's little joy that had just been ignited was suddenly extinguished, and she could feel that Yun Miaoqing was pampering her, but this pampering in the end Is it because of that aspect that I like her, but I can't figure it out.

Huo Lan's frustration was so obvious that Yun Miaoqing couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong? You don't think it looks good?"

Huo Lan shook his head, and after a moment of silence, he suddenly asked, "Do you like this?"

She didn't ask clearly, but combined with the disappointment in her eyes, Yun Miaoqing quickly realized that Huo Lan had misunderstood what she meant by "good match" just now, and wanted to ask but didn't dare to say it. Wan'er is testing her.

Yun Miaoqing is not as intense and hot as Huo Lan's feelings, no matter what time she is, reason prevails.In her opinion, neither the timing nor the relationship between her and Huo Lan has reached the stage of full maturity.

Huo Lan used to live in a small place, and she was the only one around, so he naturally felt that she was the best in everything.But now, she brought Huo Lan from that small place to the capital, where there are so many beauties in the capital, and there are countless temptations of power and money. After experiencing these things, will Huo Lan still think that she is the only irreplaceable one?

Perhaps because she didn't reply right away, Huo Lan's eyes dimmed a bit.Yun Miaoqing couldn't bear Huo Lan's distraught look the most, she softened in her heart and said: "You have good facial features, I really want to see you dress up as a woman, you must be very beautiful, but it's a pity that I don't have the chance now, in the future Would you like to wear it for me?"

Her words were a bit off topic, and Huo Lan didn't understand for a while.

Yun Miaoqing purposely did not speak clearly.This little girl will play this kind of probing tricks in front of her, isn't she good at it?She pinched Huo Lan's face with a smile and urged Huo Lan to go out.

Huo Lan stood there for a while, thinking over Yun Miaoqing's words several times, and finally got a taste of it.

In an instant, the huge excitement hit his forehead, and Huo Lan rushed out of the room door to catch up with Yun Miaoqing almost like a flying arrow, and took Yun Miaoqing's hand and said coquettishly: "What did you mean just now, I If you don't understand, please explain to me!"

Yun Miaoqing turned around and flicked her forehead: "Reload?"

"I didn't, I'm stupid, you tell me!"

"I mean, you're about the age, so I'll tidy up and marry you in the future."

"Who will marry? I've seen your feet, you can only marry me, if you marry me to someone else, you can't marry anyone!"

"I said that doesn't count."

"I say it counts!"

……

The two talked and laughed all the way to the gate of the mansion, and it didn't take long for other people to arrive.Everyone rode on horseback, and those who got into the carriage got into the carriage, and set off towards the palace.
