Xiaoman said with a smile: "I came, I brought two news to you, one is that yesterday the saint convened the three dukes and generals in the Xuanming Hall to discuss the reward for you, and the reward would have been issued today, but there was a voice of criticism, so whether it was captured or the reward was postponed, the other news came out of the court today, and the Son of Heaven announced at the court meeting that he would sell the Guannehou for five million yuan. ∈♀，.2+3wx.”

"Good boy, five million dollars?" Liu Lan smacked his tongue and said.

"Brother Deran, don't you think there's something strange about this matter? Yesterday, the Holy Lord announced the postponement of your reward, and today he announced that five million will be sold to Guan Neihou, will there be any inevitable relationship between this? ”

Liu Lan was solemn and said: "First of all, thank you Xiaoman's girl for bringing these two news, first of all, the court has criticized my reward, which was already expected by me, although there was a little barbarian girl that day, but whether it was a scholar or a general, there would definitely be some dissatisfaction in the heart, and the Son of Heaven wanted to sacrifice a prisoner and reward him, how can this not be controversial in the court?" Therefore, I still don't expect to sacrifice prisoners, I understand that my ability and merits are still not comparable to or even comparable to General Huangfu Song. ”

Xiaoman really didn't expect Liu Lan to say such a thing, admired and appreciated, and said: "The little girl was born as a merchant, and she is used to seeing fame and fortune in the world. I don't want Brother Deran to be so humble and humble that I really admire the little girl. ”

"Where, where, I'm just telling the truth."

"Then Brother Hou Deran in the Guan Nei thinks it will have something to do with the reward for you?"

Liu Lan shook his head and said, "Regardless of whether this matter is necessarily related or not, for me, I don't have a penny to donate to Guan Neihou." As for how the court rewarded me, I will judge it in the future. Isn't it? ”

There was a knock on the door, and Liu Lan got up to open the door. It's none other than Cai Shaofen, but what makes Xiaoman a little surprised is when did his sister Cai become so familiar with Liu Lan?

Liu Lanzheng smiled and said that when she introduced a friend to her, she didn't want Xiaoman to run up like a gust of wind, saluted, and shouted obediently: "Xiaoman has seen Sister Cai." After speaking, she didn't want to look at Cai Shaofen secretly, blinking desperately to make her eyes, Cai Shaofen immediately understood, and said with a smile: "Little barbarian girl, why are you here?" ”

This sentence can be regarded as stopping Xiaoman. I couldn't speak, but fortunately, Cai Shaofen was very thoughtful, and asked back: "Could it be that the friend you told me the day before yesterday was Liu Lan?" Is he going to meet the Son of Heaven and offer him prisoners? ”

Xiaoman nodded like a chicken pecking rice.

However, Liu Lanke shook his head again, it doesn't matter how Xiaoman met Cai Shaofen, it's not strange to know each other as two people, but it is inevitable that it will be too flamboyant to say that he will see the Son of Heaven as a prisoner, and I don't know if this trend will succeed now, when the Son of Heaven will not be captured, isn't that just a slap in the face? Hurriedly said: "What's the matter." I only came to Luoyang on official business. ”

After Liu Lan finished explaining, the two girls chattered non-stop, how could anyone listen to his explanation, Liu Lan had a black line on his face. This is simply treating himself as air, but with such two big beauties and one small beauty, what else can Liu Lan say. Even if it is said, people may not listen to it.

He's like a superfluous person. One stood in place, while the two women said something affectionately. I eavesdropped, but I heard Cai Shaofen say that I was originally looking for Liu Lan to ask him to accompany me to the gold market to buy some rouge gouache, since the little girl is here, let's accompany my sister to visit the gold market.

The two women are definitely doers, just do what they say, without any delay, until they walked to the door as if they realized that there was a Liu Lan, and turned around to show a smile that the two beautiful dead people did not pay for their lives: "We went to the gold market, goodbye." ”

"Goodbye?"

Before Liu Lan finished speaking, the two shadows left him with a gorgeous back.

The two of them left the post house and boarded the cart parked at the door, but Xiaoman said that his sister would wait a moment, and then turned out again, and with a code, an elder came not far away, and said respectfully: "Miss." ”

"I have something you need to do."

"Miss, but it doesn't hurt."

"I'm sorry for you to go to Fenglai Tower, if you meet the young brother who was with me the day before yesterday, please ask him to help me find out why the imperial court's reward for Liu Lan has been ......delayed again and again," Xiao Man said and lowered his voice a little, but in the end, he couldn't hear anything.

"Miss, don't worry. The old slave will do it. ”

"By the way, he can only inquire, and he must not intercede, otherwise this matter will be bad."

The middle-aged man turned around and left, of course he understood who the young man the young lady was talking about, just imagine that the dignified Dong Hou pleaded for the generals on the side, this is a royal taboo, not only will he not be rewarded again, but he is afraid that Liu Lan's life will not be guaranteed.

The two women sometimes take a cart in the gold market, sometimes walk, lingering in the jewelry store, silk village and rouge shop in the largest market in Luoyang, I have to say that whether it is an ancient woman or a modern woman shopping is the biggest way of entertainment and leisure, until nightfall, only to return to Fenglai Lou after a full meal, and then Xiaoman sent his own cart to send Cai Shaofen back to the post house.

And in the morning, after the two girls left, Liu Lan was not bored, and wanted to find the brothers in the next room but found that they had long since disappeared, and he had no choice but to go out of the city and go back to the army garrison to gather with other old brothers, but when he walked out of Wansui Street and was about to go to Wangjing Gate, he found a familiar figure walking in front of him, Liu Lan's footsteps paused, and he glanced at it in shock, making him stunned like a sculpture in the crowd of people coming and going on Wansui Street, thinking back to Fang Cai's figure, muttering to himself, how could it be her? Didn't she go down to Wu Yue, how could she appear in the capital?

Liu Lan couldn't help but turn his head, just in time to see the woman turn to Sima Street, and saw the familiar back again, Liu Lan was sure that it was her.

Liu Lan turned around and anxiously pushed aside the crowd of people who came and went to block him to catch up, but after all, the flow of people in Luoyang was too large, and he bumped into several people in a row, and he had to change to run after being cursed, the speed was extremely fast, just ran behind the woman on Sima Street in the blink of an eye, patted her shoulder, surprised, and said, "Cai Yan, when did you come to Luoyang?" ”

The little girl turned around and showed a pretty face that was still a little immature, indeed like Cai Yan, but it was Cai Yan two years ago Unless she hasn't changed for two years, and she looked at Liu Lan with a vigilant look in her eyes, it was not an expression of acquaintance at all but a frightened expression.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I recognized the wrong person."

Liu Lan was sorry, the little girl complained and left, Liu Lan was a little distracted, it couldn't be wrong, it was Cai Yan who I saw just now, Liu Lan smiled bitterly, went out of the city, and wanted to go to the barracks in a daze but somehow arrived at the Luoshui again, looking at the rising sun for a long time, the breeze was blowing, as if the whole person's soul had been washed.

"It's rare to see a young man like you now."

The abrupt voice was a little hoarse, Liu Lan turned around, but found a kind old man standing not far away with a dove, there was no one else around, and he was looking into the distance, this old man told the truth Liu Lan had seen it yesterday, but at that time he was still followed by a middle-aged man, but whether it was the middle-aged man or the old man, from top to bottom, there was a long-standing bearing, and the momentum of this crutch was far from the gentle and forgiving Cai Yong that Liu Lan had seen, as for Liu Yuanqi and Guo Xi, they were all slightly inferior. And Liu Lantong observed Wen Shu to learn a little bit of Qi cultivation kung fu, and he was even more 108,000 miles away from this old man.

"The old man means kid?" Liu Lan glanced left and right at no one else, only himself, and Liu Lan had the habit of folding a corner of the scarf.

The kind-eyed old man is like an immortal pine, although his waist is bent, he always stands and does not fall, still looking at the sky, but he doesn't know whether to say it to Liu Lan or mutter, and said: "Among the young people, the old man valued Li Yuanli and Guo Linzong the most, when people talked about Chen Fan and Li Ying's achievements and virtues, they couldn't decide who came first, Cai Yong's descendants commented that Chen Zhongju dared to offend the Son of Heaven, Li Yuanli was strict with his subordinates, it was difficult to offend the Son of Heaven, and it was easy to rectify his subordinates. So Chen Fan's ranking was ranked after Sanjun, and Li Ying was ranked before Bajun. And Guo Tai (the word Lin Zong), the kid from Jiexiu (Taiyuan Jiexiu), is not as good as Li Yuanli in terms of family background, and he was born poor. Since childhood, it happened that there was a vacancy in the county for him to fill, and his mother wanted him to do things very much, but this child had his own ideals and persuaded his mother, so he quit and did not go to be a small official but studied with Cheng Gao Qu Boyan, graduated in three years, and read a wide range of books. He is good at speaking, his mouth is like a river, and his voice is loud. At that time, the old man valued this young man very much, and didn't want him to have a personal relationship with Henan Yin Li Yuanli, who was valued by the old man, after he swam in Luoyang, and the old man was very pleased. Later, Lin Zong returned to his hometown, and the scholars and Confucian scholars were sent to the Luoshui River, there were thousands of cars, Guo Linzong only crossed the river with Li Ying in the same boat, and the guests who saw them off saw them like gods. Later, Situ Huangqiong was recruited, and Zhao Dian was too often in a good way. Some people persuaded Guo Linzong to become an official, but Lin Zong replied: I watch the celestial phenomena at night and inspect social personnel during the day, and the Mandate of Heaven is to be abolished, which cannot be supported. So, he didn't answer. Later, Lin Zong traveled around the world, once in Chen, Liang Xing, in the rain, the corner of the towel folded up, at that time people also learned to deliberately fold the corner of the scarf, called "Lin Zong scarf", but since the rise of the party, most of the well-known people have suffered from it, although only Guo Linzong and Runan Yuan Hong have been spared, but you are the only one who dares to fold Lin Zong's scarf in the world for so many years, young man, can you sue me your name and surname? ”

The old man's tirade Liu Lan listened carefully from beginning to end, although it was a little inexplicable at first, but then he suddenly realized, he was saying that today's young people don't even have a little arrogance after experiencing the party, and Lin Zongjian, who was trendy at that time, didn't dare to fold anymore, and dared to criticize current politics again? But this is all wishful thinking on the part of Liu Lan, hearing the old man's question, he immediately bowed respectfully to the end, and said: "Boy Zhuo County Liu Lan, I have seen the old gentleman."
