Chapter 67 It’s time to change the name
After Jiang Yao was taken back by Pei Qian, she never came back. Jiang Lan also began to learn how to manage the affairs of the mansion, starting with reading the account books, which is one of the essential skills for managing household affairs.
In the past two days, Jiang Lan has learned to read the account books under the guidance of the housekeeper, and has a general understanding of the various expenses and shops and properties in the mansion. In the next two days, she will carefully check these account books to have a clear idea of them.
"Miss, you have been reading for the whole morning. Take a break." Qing'er brought over pear soup and scooped a bowl of it onto the table. Jiang Lan was feeling thirsty, so she closed the account book she had not finished reading and put it aside. She stood up, walked over and sat down, lowered her head, picked up the spoon and drank the pear soup.
At this time, Gui'er saw a green shadow flying in from the window and immediately announced the good news, "Miss, Yuanbao is here~"
Jiang Lan turned around and saw Yuanbao flying towards her, and her tired mood was immediately relieved by a large amount.
Yuanbao flew straight over and landed on the table. After putting the small bamboo tube in its mouth into Jiang Lan's hand, it tilted its head and stared at the bowl of pear soup, as if curious about whether it tasted good. Qing'er and Gui'er were amused by the way it tilted its head.
After reading the note, Jiang Lan saw Yuanbao still staring at the pear soup in the bowl, so she scooped a spoonful for him to taste. Yuanbao lowered his head and took a bite, as if he thought it tasted good, so he took another bite, and Jiang Lan gave him the bowl.
When the ingot flew back to the mansion and landed on Qi Wuhan's shoulder, he felt that the ingot was a little heavier than before it flew over. It must have had another full meal.
The next morning, Jiang Lan took Gui'er out. The driver was the black-armored guard who served as a guard in the mansion. Qing'er stayed in the yard to watch the account books to avoid any mistakes.
After the carriage went onto the street, it turned several streets, finally entered an alley, and stopped at the gate of a courtyard.
All you can hear is the rustling of bamboo leaves, but no human voice. It is very quiet and peaceful.
Jiang Lan pulled aside the car curtain and took a look outside. She saw four words written on the plaque at the gate:
Flower House
The name is also very elegant.
She had never heard of such a place before, and wondered if it was the house that Qi Wuhan bought himself... ?
His fame is unique, and the location is also good, quiet in the midst of a bustling city. I wonder who he usually brings here...?
The black-armored guard knocked on the door three times, and a little boy in white came over to open the door.
When Jiang Lan saw the little boy in white opening the door, she had the illusion that she was back in Dongling Academy.
The little boy in white looked at Jiang Lan, then made a gesture of invitation and led her and Gui'er to the back. Passing through a bamboo path, Jiang Lan had the illusion of returning to the bamboo garden of the academy.
After arriving at a pavilion, the little boy in white took his leave.
There was a man standing in the pavilion with his back to Jiang Lan. He was wearing moon-white clothes and looked like a refined and elegant scholar from behind.
Jiang Lan looked at the figure from behind, feeling a little doubtful. She couldn't be 100% sure it was him. After all, she had never seen him dressed like this before, and he looked quite good in a strange way...
At this time Ling Feng came over.
It's definitely him.
Jiang Lan cast a confused look at Ling Feng. Ling Feng bowed to her, as if asking her to be more patient. His own Marquis acted accordingly, made a gesture of invitation to Gui'er, and left with Gui'er first.
Jiang Lan stood there and waited for a while. Seeing that he didn't show any intention of turning around, as if waiting for her to come over, she walked over and asked casually, "Did the Marquis buy this house?"
At this time, the person in the pavilion turned around, wearing plain clothes and white boots, looking extremely elegant, completely different from his usual attire.
Jiang Lan was slightly stunned, feeling refreshed. She stopped walking unconsciously, her eyes fixed on his... unique clothes.
Qi Wuhan walked over gracefully, waving a folding fan, and noticed the orchid hairpin on her head at a glance. A smile spread from his eyes to the corners of his mouth, and he waved the folding fan in his hand more gracefully.
Jiang Lan also noticed that he noticed the hairpin, and her face couldn't help but feel a little hot, a little awkward, and a little shy, as if she had completely made her feelings clear to him. She felt happy but also a little uneasy, and a little worried.
As if sensing the slight uneasiness deep within her heart, Qi Wuhan bent down and came close to her. His peach blossom eyes looked at her with a smile that was so gentle that it seemed as if he had been bewitched. His voice was also like a bewitching one, and he whispered in her ear, "It's so beautiful."
Jiang Lan blushed, turned away slightly, and tried to change the subject in a normal tone, "The name I saw at the door just now, was it also chosen by the Marquis?"
"Why are you still calling me Marquis?" Qi Wuhan raised his eyebrows with a smile, "It's time to change the name."
Jiang Lan humbly asked, "If not Lord Marquis, what should I call him?"
Qi Wuhan raised his fan and tapped her forehead lightly, saying lovingly, "Think for yourself."
Jiang Lan thought for a moment, blushing slightly as she said, "That's...Brother Qi?"
Qi Wuhan's mouth twitched slightly. It sounded like they were sworn brothers...
"Change it." He spoke softly and slowly, calling out "Xiao Lan'er" as if to give her some advice. He could accept any corny version.
Then she heard Jiang Lan whisper two words, "Wu Han..." The next moment she turned her face away with a flushed face, so embarrassed that she wanted to find a hole to crawl into.
Qi Wuhan, on the other hand, had a stunned expression on his face. Those two words were like a bolt of lightning that struck his heart. When he came to his senses, huge joy and revelry gushed out from the bottom of his heart, sweeping over his body like a wave. He was so happy that he picked up Jiang Lan and spun her around. After gently placing her on the ground, he hugged her in his arms and said excitedly, "Xiao Lan'er, I'm so happy..."
Jiang Lan was also happy and raised her hands to hug him.
The two of them were immersed in the tenderness of the moment. Every second seemed as long as a lifetime, yet as short as the passing of a moment. They wished time would pass more slowly, even slower...
Then, Jiang Lan suddenly thought of something, pulled her head up and looked at him and asked, "You haven't told me whether you bought this house?" Qi Wuhan was a little amused. He really didn't know what was in her little head. How could she always surprise him?
He took her hand and walked into the pavilion, asked her to sit down first, then sat down opposite her, and told her that this was actually a tavern, and the four words on the door were not chosen by him, but were named by the owner himself.
Jiang Lan was a little surprised. She didn't expect that this house was actually a tavern, and it was located in such a secluded area that ordinary people couldn't find it. She thought it probably served regular customers.
"The green plum wine here is the most famous. It is brewed by the boss himself. You should try it." Qi Wuhan picked up the wine pot on the table, poured a small cup of wine and handed it to her to taste first, then poured a cup for himself.
Jiang Lan first admired the wine glass, then took a sip of the wine. It was a bit sour at first, with a refreshing fruity aroma of green plums, and then she could taste the sweetness, with a unique aroma of wine after fermentation. The overall taste was sour and sweet, and very delicious.
