Queen Flower

When Lan Sheng was ordered to come in, he found that the atmosphere in the carriage was a bit strange, and the efficiency of the young master was surprisingly slow this time. He secretly looked at Jiang Lan, who was silent on the side. In fact, all the strangeness started from this girl. Could it be that his son, whose eyes are higher than the top, really liked her. It would be an exaggeration to say that she is ugly. This girl is also pretty and lovely, but compared with those beauties, it is still not enough to look at. However, the son is already twenty-two years old, and there are a lot of other people's children, but he doesn't even have a concubine by his side. If he really likes this girl, it will be a good thing.

Lan Sheng felt very happy when he thought of this, and when he turned his head, he found that his son was staring at him fiercely. He immediately put away his thoughts, picked up the favored account book, and quickly backed out, sighing in his heart, could it be true? I like it very much, and I don't even let people watch it?

The carriage set off again, and there was only the sound of rutting. Jiang Lan put his ear to the window and listened to the various sounds of excited or disappointed passers-by outside, enjoying himself.

Seeing her like this, Chu Qingcheng couldn't help sighing, she was so angry here, everyone was already dead, she didn't know what happened to Ma Yue, she just recalled it in a dream, everything was normal during the day, even if people are now She is still alive, and what can she do with her, she is her maid, one day, her whole life, his person, and no one can take it away.

The carriage was parked in the backyard. This was a Chu-style silver building. This time, Chu Qingcheng didn't order Lan Sheng to get the account book, but got off the carriage by himself.

Jiang Lan went upstairs with him, and it seemed that the place had been cleared, and there was no one else around.

Chu Qingcheng said lightly: "A Lian's birthday will be in two days. Please help me choose a few suitable ones."

Oh, a birthday present for a beauty? Jiang Lan is interested, who doesn't like to look at beautiful jewelry? Even if she doesn't like to wear it, her eyes like to look at it. In fact, the most attractive thing about this kind of shiny thing is people's eyeballs.

What does Shen Lian like? Jiang Lan thought, in fact, as long as it was sent by Chu Qingcheng, he would definitely like it. She was there to choose slowly, but Chu Qingcheng was drinking tea, occasionally looking up at Jiang Lan, who was in high spirits during the selection.

I don't know how long it took, Jiang Lan showed him what he had chosen. It was a set of gold-backed jewelry set with pearls, including head hairpins, earrings, necklaces and bracelets. It wasn't very expensive, but it was very cute and suitable. Young girls, in fact, would look better if they were platinum.

"Do you like gold very much?" Chu Qingcheng took a look and looked away.

Jiang Lan shook her head and nodded again. Ever since she was smashed to death by gold bricks, her eyes have always been spinning on gold. The thought that she was once rich and the country was invincible was painful. Of course, the most important thing is that she has that person.

Naturally, Chu Qingcheng didn't have to pay, the shopkeeper wrapped the jewelry and handed it to Jiang Lan, and the three of them went downstairs and got on the carriage.

Finally going home, Jiang Lan felt that although he had nothing to do, he was still very tired. He had been in the carriage for a few days. No wonder it was necessary for the carriage to be so luxurious and comfortable.

After returning to the mansion, Jiang Lan returned to the main courtyard as usual in the evening. Before Shen Qun appeared, she had to report the situation to Chu Huaiyu. She really didn't find anything important in Chu Qingcheng, let alone what it looked like. . Do the really important things still carry around with you, aren't they all hidden at home? Jiang Lan actually felt that Chu Huaiyu was very strange.

This morning, Jiang Lan was on his way to Qingju. As soon as he left the main courtyard, he saw Shen Qun whom he had not seen for several days. She bowed her head and saluted, waiting for him to pass.

Shen Qun didn't leave immediately, but paced up and stood in front of her for a long time, then asked in a low voice, "Why?"

Jiang Lan didn't know how to answer, so he could only lower his head lower.

Shen Qun suddenly stretched out his hand and raised her chin, silently watching her without speaking, her gentle and elegant face was gloomy.

Jiang Lan's heart tightened, and out of the corner of his eyes, he suddenly saw several figures. On the way to the garden, Mrs. Liu was slowly approaching, while the door of the main courtyard was half-closed, Jin Zhi's face flashed past, and Caixia's footsteps came out. retract immediately.

Shen Qun let go of his hand and turned away. Jiang Lan felt very confused and just wanted to leave quickly.

When she arrived at Qingju, Chu Qingcheng had already finished her breakfast. He tapped the table with his fingers and looked at her, "You are late, the medicine is cold."

Jiang Lan nodded, it's cool as long as it's cold. Before Chu Qingcheng could speak to stop it, he drank the medicine in one gulp. It was still warm, still hard to drink, and had a very bitter taste.

Chu Qingcheng looked at Jiang Lan who was a little pale, "What's wrong with you?"

Jiang Lan shook his head, "Maybe a little tired."

He stood up, "You don't want to go out today, just stay here and rest."

Chu Qingcheng and Lan Sheng went out, leaving her alone. For Jiang Lan, this was a rare opportunity to search Qingju carefully.

Jiang Lan poured a basin of water, holding a wet rag in his hand, and started to act.

The Qingju was very simple, with very few people living there. The most important thing was Chu Qingcheng's room, including the hall in the middle, the bedroom on one side, and the study on the other side. She searched it carefully, but found nothing.

Really disappointed, I thought it would be a bit of a gain this time.

Don't say anything important, Chu Qingcheng has nothing here at all, and there are not many things that are not important, except for three paintings, which are solemnly placed in a grid.

Jiang Lan opened the painting without any hope, maybe there would be clues here, and at the same time mocked himself for being whimsical.

The first painting was the landscape painting, carrying a pirated poem by Zhang Guan and Li Dai. Jiang Lan smiled and picked up the second one. It was a picture of a beautiful woman. The woman was wearing a dress with white flowers on a powder foundation, looking forward to the radiance in the garden. , the smile is warm and genial, but the eyebrows are very familiar. Jiang Lan was startled, and opened the third painting. It was a woman in a blue-gray shirt and skirt, with a smile on her face.

It was actually her, Jiang Lan was inexplicably surprised.

She had seen him paint these two paintings with her own eyes. They were both faceless at the time, but now they are both completed. As far as she knew, Chu Qingcheng had always painted only beauties, and never an "ugly" woman had ever graced his paintings.

Ugly girl, Jiang Lan remembered what Chu Qingcheng called her, why did he paint her face that "can't see anyone", and put the painting here solemnly?

Jiang Lan felt that her heart was beating wildly. She forced herself to calm down. Maybe she had misunderstood again. Since entering this house, she felt that her head was not enough. She has always believed that her IQ is average and her emotional quotient is lower, and it is estimated that her thinking has gone wrong again.

It must be like this, Jiang Lan, don't be confused, she warned herself in her heart, she quickly put away the painting, restored it to its original state, and then walked out of the room with the water basin, and ran into a man in a red shirt. Came back so soon.

Chu Qingcheng stood in front of her, frowning and looking down at her, with a tense expression on her jade face and a solemn look in her eyes.

Jiang Lan lowered her head slightly, feeling a little nervous in her heart, her face was constantly changing, it was very dangerous, she was almost caught, and being a thief was still very difficult for her, a good citizen who had obeyed the law since she was a child. .

The water basin in his hand was taken away by Lan Sheng, Chu Qingcheng reached out to her forehead, "Sick? You're not obedient, didn't I tell you to rest?"

Jiang Lan didn't know why, but his neural reflexes immediately shrank back, avoiding his hand.

Chu Qingcheng's hand stayed in the air, his face gradually turned pale, but flames rose in his eyes, and anger appeared in his obsidian-like eyes, and he actually dared to avoid his touch. In the garden this morning, it was So obedient.

He grabbed her arm and dragged her into the door without saying a word, and the door closed with a bang.

Lan Sheng stood there thinking deeply with the water basin in his hand. It seemed that the situation was not optimistic. His master had already climbed to the mountainside, and Jiang Feng was still at the foot of the mountain, and he had no intention of climbing at all.
