There are many treasures in this country

After Shen Yan left, Xiao Suo stood on the spot for a long time, until the soles of his feet gradually felt sore, he didn't want to go back.As soon as he turned around, he saw Ruan Tong in a sea blue robe standing not far away under the butter umbrella and behind the rain curtain.

He seemed to be a little thinner than before, faintly haggard, coquettish and charming as before.Xiao Suo suddenly felt ashamed of himself, but also superior to others.He is ashamed of himself because he is too beautiful, even more beautiful than a woman, and he is still a masculine no matter what, it is really hard to compare.He is superior to others because of his status, and he always has a bit of nobility in his bones. "Everything is inferior, only reading is high" is a deep-rooted concept that cannot be easily changed.

Ruan Tong walked in front of him, smiled and said, "I haven't seen Mr. Xiao for a long time, can you tell me in the room?"

Xiao Suo nodded, instead of going to his bedroom, he went to the main room where Shen Yan lived.This place gave him a sense of control, and he felt at ease talking here.

Ruan Tong has nothing to do, he lives in the General's Mansion, and probably comes to this room often.This cognition made Xiao Suo a little frustrated, and also a little inexplicably sour.

"I don't know why Mr. Ruan is looking for me?" He sat at the bottom, but he didn't feel the prestige of the upper one.Just thinking about it made him feel like a clown, and he felt guilty as if he was floating in mid-air.

Ruan Tong sent all the servants out, drank leisurely with a teacup in his hand, and said with a smile: "It's nothing serious, but I'm just bored, and I want to talk to Mr. Xiao. I don't know if Mr. Xiao will stay or stay here today." Go back tonight?"

There are so many things that can be asked, but he just asked a question that Xiao Suo didn't know the answer to, "I can't make up my mind about this, I will know when General Shen returns. Probably... I will leave tomorrow morning."

"That's it." Ruan Tong nodded, and said again: "By the way, I haven't confessed to Mr. Xiao for the shooting of the garden last time. If I didn't wear the bag of spices given by the prince last time, I would have There wouldn't be as many things happening."

Xiao Suo smiled: "I already know this matter, the young master didn't do it on purpose, so how can he say that he is guilty. Although the situation was dangerous that day, after all, nothing major happened. I don't want to make the young master kneel down in the end. I am really sorry .”

Ruan Tong waved his hand and said: "The general should punish me. I don't dare to complain, as long as you don't blame me. What's more, thanks to Mr. Xiao's plea, the general... forgive me that day. Ah, speaking of the incense that day, I suddenly remembered."

He took out a brocade pouch from his bosom, pulled open the rope, and poured out two pieces of incense bait, "This is called Dao Gui No. [-] Incense, which is made from the spices of that day mixed with dozens of rare treasures. This thing It has always been a tribute from the Nan'an Kingdom, and it has a light and long-lasting fragrance, and it is said that it is only used by the gods of the fairy world."

He took a bright silver censer with a pointed pipe from the table, poured tea into it, extinguished the spices that were burning, threw the incense bait in his hand into it and burned it, then closed the stove lid, and the light smoke curled up immediately. Float out.

"Well, it's really sweet and elegant, far away from the dusty vulgarity." Xiao Suo couldn't help but sigh, "I've heard that Nan'an people are good at mixing fragrances, and they really deserve their reputation."

Ruan Tong put the incense burner on the top of the low table, sat down and said, "Young Master Xiao is really well-informed. He even knows the affairs of the small country in detail, which shows his profound knowledge."

Xiao Suo couldn't help shaking his head: "My lord, don't tease me, this is nothing profound. It's just that I read a book "Exotic Lands" many years ago, which mentioned the spices of Nan'an Kingdom. According to the book, the king of Nan'an Kingdom All generations were women, and most of the subjects in their country were women, only a few men lived there. Therefore, when the world mentions Nan'an Kingdom, they often use the word "female", which is called Nan'an Women's Kingdom, just like Xiliang Women's Kingdom. "

Ruan Tong presented the sachet to him: "Since Mr. Xiao knows so much and is so insightful, please accept this incense and express my apology for what happened that day."

Xiao Suo hastily refused: "How can I accept such a valuable thing from you? Since it is a reward from the prince, the young master should keep it well. I am a poor scholar, and I never burn incense. Although this thing is rare, it belongs to me. But it's of no use."

Ruan Tong insisted on giving it to him, put the sachet on the table beside him, and said: "Young Master Xiao, take it, this thing is unusual, burning it can refresh your mind, but it doesn't have the cold and stimulating smell like mint. It is suitable for both winter and summer, and it is best for reading."

Xiao Suo wanted to refuse again, Ruan Tong raised his hand first to stop him: "Mr. Xiao, if you don't accept me, you will look down on me. I come from a humble background, and I know that I am not worthy of being friends with you. If you despise me, I dare not say anything."

When he said this, his attitude was extremely humble, and Xiao Suo couldn't push it any further, so he had to thank him again and again and put it in his sleeve.Ruan Tong was satisfied with this, and chatted with him for a long time before going away with an umbrella.

Xiao Suo watched him leave, closed the door and took out the incense, and put it beside Shen Yan's pillow.He is a man, not a little girl, and he never likes to burn incense.But Shen Yan seems to be quite particular about basic necessities of life, and there is always a faint fragrance on his body, why not give him this precious spice.

In fact, he didn't know that Shen Yan didn't often burn incense, and he didn't like it, but he didn't hate it either. Most of the incense in the incense burner at home was also used to get rid of the smell.What's more, these things are taken care of by his servants, so there is no need for him to worry about them.

As for the fragrance on his body, it is mostly because he used to hang around in the land of flowers and willows, rubbing on the scent of powder from the young lady, and because he was walking in front of the imperial court, it was inevitable that he would be contaminated with ambergris from the palace.

For example, at this moment, the fragrance of Linde Hall floated faintly around him. He stood there for a long time, his clothes and cuffs were infected with the smell, but the person on the dragon chair in front of the hall still did not reply for a long time.

"Your Majesty?" He reminded again, "This matter is urgent, and I'm afraid it will be exposed if it is too late, and it will be difficult to handle. Please make up your mind as soon as possible, and issue an order as soon as possible."

Huan Ye raised his chin, not sure if it was an illusion, but felt that his gaze was much colder than before, "Do you think it's raining today, Qing?"

"...Ah?" Shen Yan turned to look at the water curtain outside the hall, "This...although it's not a heavy rain that happens once in a century, it's still considered a heavy rain."

"When does Qing think the rain will stop?" He continued to ask.

Shen Yan frowned, and reluctantly said: "I'm afraid that Si Tianjian can predict this. I don't understand astronomy and geography, so I really can't guess it. Just look at the rain, I'm afraid it won't stop for a while, and it may happen in the next two days." possible."

"That's right," Huan Ye looked at the raindrops in front of the porch, and the golden bell under the eaves heard the melody of "jingling", "The wind and rain are so strong, I'm afraid they won't stop for a while. Who would go out of the city in the rain in such weather?" Incense?"

Shen Yan suddenly realized that before he asked Eleven to block Fuzhou Mountain in the name of the emperor going to pilgrimage tomorrow, it was just an excuse he made up in desperation, but he didn't think that this reason was too impatient to scrutinize.Anyone with a brain, after thinking about it, will know that this is an excuse, and will soon guess that something happened to Fu Zhoushan.

"I'm not acting well, please be punished by the emperor." Shen Yan hurriedly knelt down to plead guilty.

Huan Ye held Ziyu and raised his hand: "You get up first. It's an emergency, so it's appropriate to deal with it like this, and I can't blame you. It's just that this reason is indeed something I can't help thinking about. Let me think about it again."

Just as he was talking, a small servant from the outside came in and passed on the news, saying that Yan Jun, the censor of Zuodu, had seen him.Huan Ye had been approving the memorial for a day today, and at this moment his mind was in a mess, and when Shen Yan came to ask for an order, he had no idea to call Yan Jun, but he didn't want him to come first, so he hurriedly asked him to come in.

After Yan Jun entered the hall and greeted An, Huan Ye rubbed the sun and said, "Get up, I have something to ask you." He then ordered Shen Yan: "Tell him what you just reported."

Shen Yan then told him how to find a large number of dead bodies at the bottom of the water, and how to use an excuse to enter Xiangqing Mountain for the emperor and order to block Fuzhou Mountain.Yan Jun dusted off the water vapor, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, this excuse has already been used, and it would not be good to change it, but it will make people suspicious. Since it is said to go to pilgrimage, we should use this as an excuse to make things real."

Huan Ye didn't say yes or no, Shen Yan said: "But it's raining so heavily, it's too sudden to go to offer incense, isn't it?"

Yan Jun glanced at the sundial outside and said, "Fortunately, today is not the seventeenth day. Although the death anniversary of the late emperor is not this month, it is the seventeenth day. The emperor said that he was entrusted by the late emperor in a dream at night and wanted you to go to the incense retreat One day, this matter will be a matter of course. In this way, this lie can be fulfilled, and it can also show the emperor's filial piety and sincerity, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?"

Huan Ye was silent for a moment, then slowly raised the corners of his mouth: "Yan Qing's words are reasonable, so let's do it like this." Then he turned around and told Shang Huai: "Decree, I will be a vegetarian today, live alone in the evening and meditate, and I will take care of it tomorrow." Zhoushan, offer incense to the late emperor."

Shen Yan breathed a sigh of relief, and said goodbye first.Yan Jun came later, and he had something to report, so he waited outside the palace gate.The door is very wide, and the eaves are flying out, and the rain is pouring down, like pearls with broken strings.

He stood here to shelter from the rain, and there was some tenderness in his heart.I don't know what Xiao Suo is doing at the moment, whether he has had dinner, whether he is still waiting for him, whether he will see the picture book in front of his bed, if he does, whether he will blush again.

"General, why are your eyes so straight?" The guards in front of the door are all members of the Royal Twelve Guards, and they are used to joking with him on weekdays.

"The general must be thinking about some little lady!" The guard laughed.

Another person said: "Hey, that's not true! Our general is just thinking about, thinking about some cute boy!"

One word made everyone laugh.Shen Yan couldn't help curling the corners of his mouth, and reprimanded: "Go, go, take your job well, and don't tease me!"

"Yo," another said with a smile, "our general also has times of shyness!"

Shen Yan became furious, kicked the man's ass, and cursed: "Stinky boy, when I talk to Qin Huan tomorrow, I will practice two sets of punches for you every day, so that you are not poor anymore!"

Everyone hurriedly begged: "General, please spare the little ones, I'm tired enough now!" Qin Huan's strict military management is well-deserved.

Just then the man said again: "Yeah, I'm so tired that I don't even have the energy to go shopping in Xuanhuafang. I'm not like a general who is at ease and blessed, hugging left and right every day!"

Everyone laughed loudly again, and when they were about to talk, they suddenly saw Yan Jun coming with an umbrella, and they all fell silent.Shen Yan thought that being a human being really shouldn't be too good-tempered, otherwise even they would rebel.

Yan Jun approached, saw him there, smiled and said, "I knew you didn't leave, I happened to have something to tell you, let's go."

Shen Yan asked as he walked, "What's the matter with you?"
