Chapter 76: Have you ever stayed overnight?
Here, Xie Yun encountered trouble.
After the maid brought him over, he first listened to Hongluan play a song.
There was a beaded curtain between the two of them. Xie Yun could vaguely see a beautiful figure, but he didn't peek too much. He just took a glance and then looked away, concentrating on listening to the music.
After the song was finished, a clear and moving voice came from behind the beaded curtain:
"Sir, do you know the name of this song?"
Xie Yunnian said, "It's easy to get a fortune, but it's hard to find a soulmate."
A gentle laughter came from behind the bead curtain.
"You are right, sir. If you have a true friend in life, you will have no regrets."
The graceful figure behind the bead curtain stood up and prepared to come out to meet him.
At this time, there was a noise outside the door, as if someone was trying to break in.
The maid said that her daughter was receiving guests and asked the other party to wait.
Those knife-like narrow eyes were filled with a cold and bright light, extremely aggressive, and their cold white fangs were exposed like those of a vicious dog.
When he wanted to go in, the maid didn't dare to stop him.
With a click, the door was pushed open by a hand from the outside, and a man in brocade black boots walked in. His sharp eyes like a vicious dog glanced at the people in the room, and a signature sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth. He walked straight in and was blocked by Xie Yun.
"It is very rude of you to trespass without permission." Xie Yun usually disliked such arrogant and unreasonable behavior, especially in front of girls. This kind of behavior made him even more disgusted. It did not show any gentlemanly manners at all.
"Disrespectful?" The sneer on the corner of his mouth became more and more presumptuous, and he said in a provocative tone, "You want to see the most beautiful girl in this building, and I want to see her too. We are all here for fun. Why do you say I'm disrespectful and you're so noble?" A cold sneer appeared in those knife-like narrow eyes, with contempt in his eyes, as if he was watching a stupid joke.
Xie Yun could also clearly sense that he was being looked down upon by the other party, but he was not as easily angered as other people who would grab the other party's collar to settle the score. He said calmly and calmly, "A gentleman should not look at anything inappropriate." As soon as he said that, his collar was grabbed by the other party.
The person behind the bead curtain covered her mouth lightly, exclaimed, and was a little scared.
Those knife-like narrow eyes narrowed with a cold light, like two fangs about to bite the prey's throat.
"Don't try to show off your knowledge in front of me, or I'll beat you up!"
"Don't listen to anything indecent,"
Xie Yun recited another sentence.
“.…..”
"Looking for death!" The other party cursed and swung his fist, about to hit him.
The person behind the bead curtain exclaimed.
No sooner said than done, a voice came from the door.
"Stop!" Jiang Lan quickened her pace and walked over with an anxious look on her face.
Seeing that the fist was about to hit her face, how could she not be anxious?
The other person's gaze lingered on Jiang Lan's face for a moment, then turned to another person who walked in.
He put away his fist and let go of Xie Yun. Jiang Lan immediately took Xie Yun aside and asked him if he was okay. At the same time, she found that the other party looked very familiar.
Because the other person had changed his clothes and what he was wearing was very different from before, as if he had completely changed his appearance, so she did not recognize him immediately.
Then she recognized him and was a little surprised. The last time she saw him was in Sangcheng. It had been almost half a year now, and she didn't expect to see him here.
When someone you haven't seen for a long time suddenly appears in front of you, it feels like an illusion, as if they appeared out of thin air...
Following Qi Wuhan in was the madam of the building. After Jiang Lan took Xie Yun to one side, she also walked around from that side, parted the bead curtain, walked in and asked Hongluan in a low voice what was going on.
"My Lord." Ji Quan bowed to Qi Wuhan with a very respectful attitude, completely different from his ferocious look just now.
"You still remember me." Qi Wuhan said slowly while waving his fan.
Ji Quan replied, "I will definitely repay the Marquis for his kindness in the future." After that, he apologized to Xie Yun and then said goodbye.
At this time, the sound of the bead curtain rang out again, and the madam came out with her plump waist twisting, waving the colorful round fan in her hand. After thanking Qi Wuhan earnestly, she called Hongluan out to entertain him well.
A slender hand as white as scallion pushed aside the pearl curtain, and a beautiful face appeared behind the curtain. Her skin was whiter than snow, her hair was as white as clouds and mist, and her pair of light-colored pupils had a unique exotic style. She was so beautiful that she was almost enchanting, truly worthy of her beauty.
Jiang Lan, a girl, was a little stunned. She had seen beautiful girls before, but this was the first time she had seen such an exotic beauty.
It has both the mysterious and enchanting exotic colors and the classical oriental beauty, and every frown and smile reveals a bewitching charm.
The bright red dress makes her charm even more alluring.
"You must thank the Marquis very much. If it weren't for the Marquis, there would have been trouble again." The madam called Hongluan to come over quickly, and then called Jiang Lan and Xie Yun to leave together.
Seeing that Xie Yun was still looking at the beauty, Jiang Lan reached out and pulled his sleeve. Xie Yun naturally called out "Sister Lan" and asked her what was wrong. Jiang Lan was stunned. Xie Yun then realized that he had let the cat out of the bag. He wanted to change his name to make up for it, but was pulled away by Jiang Lan who looked embarrassed.
The madam also said goodbye to Qi Wuhan, and when she looked up, she found that the person was gone.
"Where is the Marquis?"
Hongluan looked at the door and said that the person had just left. The madam wanted to chase after him and keep him, but was persuaded by Hongluan.
"If the Marquis wants to leave, no matter how hard Mother tries, she won't be able to stop him."
Even if she tried to persuade him to stay, it would be useless.
On this side, Jiang Lan pulled Xie Yun out and had not taken two steps when her wrist was grabbed by another hand. She was startled at first, and turned around to see that it was Qi Wuhan. She was embarrassed and angry, and signaled him with her eyes, "Her cousin is here too, let go quickly." Qi Wuhan seemed to understand her meaning as "My cousin is here too, let's announce our relationship quickly." He immediately pulled her to his side, his movements gentle but a little domineering, and used one hand to protect her shoulders, as if he was afraid that she would fall.
Jiang Lan shook off his hand but failed to get rid of it, her face as red as a boiled crab.
Even a fool could see what was going on between the two of them.
"Sister Lan, I'll wait for you outside." Xie Yun said and left first, which saved a lot of embarrassment.
"You have a good eye." When Qi Wuhan turned to look at Jiang Lan, he saw that she lowered her head and seemed a little upset. He took her to the private room and told her to ask whatever she wanted to ask and not to keep it in her heart, as it would make him feel bad.
Since he said so, Jiang Lan asked.
"Have you stayed here before?"
After asking this question, her face turned red, but she still stared at his smiling peach blossom eyes as if she was refusing to admit defeat. When she heard this question, her peach blossom eyes were stunned at first.
I probably never dreamed that I would hear such a question.
After realizing what was happening, Qi Wuhan turned his head and chuckled mysteriously. Before Jiang Lan could get angry, he swore to the heavens and answered seriously, "No, I swear. If I lied even a word," Jiang Lan said, finishing the rest of the punishment for him, "I will draw a big turtle on your face."
Qi Wuhan agreed lovingly. She smiled, stopped dwelling on this matter, and asked about another matter.
Qi Wuhan knew that she was probably going to ask about Ji Quan, so he told her roughly what he was talking about.
After returning to Beijing, Ji Quan originally worked under him, but later he was appreciated by King Rui and entered the Imperial City Bureau. He was recently promoted to Inspector.
In the eyes of civil and military officials, the Imperial City Administration is a group of vicious dogs that will never let go once they bite someone.
The Inspector is the leader of this group of vicious dogs. He is insidious, cunning, and extremely scheming, and everyone keeps their distance from him.
Jiang Lan was a little worried, afraid that what he had said at the time would come true.
At the time, he said, "I have adopted a vicious dog. I wonder if it will bite me back in the future. It's really interesting."
"Since I dared to accept him, I wasn't afraid that he would bite me back." As if seeing through her worries, Qi Wuhan smiled and comforted her, and then taught her a piece of experience, "Xiao Lan'er, if you want to use a knife, you can't be afraid of being cut by it."
Jiang Lan nodded, indicating that what he said made sense.
Seeing her well-behaved appearance of being willing to learn, and looking particularly soft and tender, Qi Wuhan couldn't help but lower his head, but then restrained himself for a moment and pecked her forehead lightly, but felt that it was still not enough, so he lowered his head and pecked her again.
When Jiang Lan came out of the building and got on the carriage, Qi Wuhan asked Ling Feng to secretly escort her back.
In the carriage, Jiang Lan felt a little awkward, wondering how to start the conversation. Xie Yun saved her the trouble by asking, "Sister Lan's crush is the Marquis?"
Jiang Lan was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect him to ask so directly. After thinking about it, she nodded, blushing and looking down, waiting for him to say something.
Xie Yun thought for a while and said to himself, "No wonder he asked me privately yesterday how old I was and whether I was married. I thought he was interested in me."
Jiang Lan smiled.
Seeing her smile, Xie Yun also smiled, and then sighed to himself, "I am the only one left alone." Jiang Lan comforted him, "Brother is not engaged yet."
