In the afternoon, Ji Ran was in the middle, and Jiu'er's face was full of smiles. He ran towards the main courtyard excitedly, and after searching for a while, he found his lady's figure in the studio.
"Miss..."
She called out, but was interrupted by Jiang Ran raising her hand.
"If you have anything to say, just say it slowly." Jiang Ran's voice was extremely gentle. Under Liu Ye's eyebrows, those delicate jade eyes were looking intently at the easel in front of her. There was a piece of white rice paper fixed on the drawing board, and she was gently twirling the trumpet in her jade hands.
The brush moved gently on it, and a handsome man's face slowly emerged.
The studio is in the middle of the space, with all kinds of calligraphy and paintings hanging on the surrounding walls. All the tools for painting are also available. The most important thing is that the lighting is very good, and the ventilation on all sides gives people a sense of peace and tranquility.
Jiu'er clutched her chest and gasped twice, then walked slowly to Jiang Ran, leaned casually on a table, and said with a smile: "Miss, my uncle is amazing. Not only was he promoted, but he was also knighted!"
Hearing this, Jiang Ran stopped what he was doing. He had heard that Ning Guo had not been knighted for several years before. He didn't expect that he would set a precedent again, but maybe he had seen him make too many impossible things possible, so he didn't.
Very surprised, her beautiful eyes blinked: "How did you know?"
"Hey, Guard Song went back to the house to help the prince get something. I happened to meet him outside Prince You's house and learned about it from his mouth." Jiu'er replied with a smile.
Jiang Ran nodded slightly. If it was Song Xiao who said it, it couldn't be false. He didn't think about it any more. He was about to continue painting when he remembered something and squinted his eyes to look at her: "You stinky girl, sneaking around again."
go out!"
"Hey hey hey, Jiu'er wanted to buy candied haws." Jiu'er touched the back of his head in embarrassment, then covered his chubby cheeks and murmured: "My uncle promised to let Jiu'er have some."
Endless ice cream, now it’s summer, I wonder if my uncle still remembers it, ugh~”
Jiang Ran glanced at her and continued to draw: "My uncle is always troubled by trivial matters, so you'd better not cause him any trouble!"
"But..." Jiu'er was about to retort, but was interrupted by a voice from outside the door.
"Madam, there is a woman outside who claims to be a court official and is here to deliver the imperial edict."
After listening to Bai Han's words, Jiang Ran quickly put the brush on the short table aside, stood up slowly, and asked, "What does that person look like?"
Then, Bai Han roughly described Tianxuan's appearance.
After hearing this, Jiang Ran frowned slightly. Tang Ji had reminded her not to interact with the woman outside the Gongyuan before. She didn't expect that she would come to the door in person today, but she was considered the hostess of Ji Ran's residence. She would be lost if she didn't go out.
After thinking about etiquette, she waved her sleeves and walked out of the room.
Soon, Jiang Ran saw Tianxuan in the front yard, who was wearing a black gown. He walked up to her and was about to kneel down to salute, but was grabbed by the latter.
"Although Miss Jiang has not yet married Mr. Tang, it will be a matter of time. There is no need to kneel down when you see me."
After hearing her words, Jiang Ran nodded slightly, put his hands on his waist, smiled softly and gave a salute: "My little lady has met Lord Tianxuan."
"You're welcome." Tianxuan raised the corners of his mouth slightly, focusing his eyes on Jiang Ran. After staring for a long time, he put away his thoughts: "Oh, Mr. Tang was crowned the son of Jingwang County in the court. This is to make up for the imperial edict.
, I happened to be passing by, so I brought it."
Jiang Ran took a small step back and took it with both hands: "How dare you trouble Lord Tianxuan to deliver it in person? Sir, do you want to go in and sit down?"
"Okay, it just so happens that I also have something to say to you." Tianxuan said with a faint smile.
Jiang Ran looked suspicious: "You have something to tell me?"
Tianxuan glanced at Jiu'er who was standing nearby playing with the imperial edict, and lowered her voice and said, "It's about Jiang Zhan!"
Hearing this, Jiang Ran's expression changed dramatically, her eyebrows raised slightly, and her eyes were full of vigilance, but this was only for a moment. She adjusted her expression and asked, "I wonder who the Jiang Zhan mentioned by Master Tianxuan is?"
Seeing her like this, Tianxuan couldn't help but sneer. As a master in the master realm and the top leader of the Xingchen Division, no matter how microscopic her expression was, she couldn't escape her eyes. However, she didn't rush to answer. She reached out and flicked the wine.
Head: "Little girl, go prepare some tea."
Jiu'er groaned in pain, then looked at the other party complainingly, and was about to reply, but was stopped by Jiang Ran.
"Jiu'er, let's go."
"Oh~" Jiu'er pouted in response, holding the imperial edict in her arms, and walked towards the side hall with three turns, a little curious about the name "Jiang Zhan" in her heart.
...
The clouds in the sky gradually turned red, and the full sun began to sink towards the west mountain. Jiu'er stood outside Jiang Ran's room, his ear pressed against the door, and even used the method he used last time to eavesdrop on the chats of the rich kids in the restaurant.
, but it still sounded ambiguous.
She originally wanted to hear what the old woman wanted to say to her lady, but as soon as she brought the tea in, Tianxuan kicked her out. The key is that she stayed outside the room for more than an hour!
Seeing that the eavesdropping was fruitless, Jiuer held the porcelain bowl in his hands, sat down on the small stool by the door, pouted and said dissatisfiedly: "Huh! How much do you have to say to the lady!"
Finally, after a while, the door slowly opened, and Tianxuan and Jiang Ran walked out one after the other.
Jiu'er immediately stood up, took Jiang Ran's arm, and checked to make sure she was not injured. He looked up and saw the red and swollen bags under her eyes, and immediately exclaimed: "Miss, why are you crying? Is it her?"
Immediately, she protected Jiang Ran behind her, exposed her two little tiger teeth, and stared at Tianxuan fiercely: "Old witch, although I can't beat you, I won't allow you to bully my young lady!"
Tianxuan chuckled lightly, raised her hand again and flicked the little girl's head, and then said to Jiang Ran: "You take care of yourself, Tang Ji is a capable person, worthy of your entrustment, and get married to him as soon as possible.
It’s not bad to have two little babies and spend this life peacefully. Don’t check what happened back then, otherwise I won’t be able to protect you, and it will even hurt him. You love each other so much, you should be reluctant to watch him die for you, right?
"
After saying that, she slowly turned around and walked to the front yard while saying, "Don't tell anyone what I told you, including Tang Ji!"
"Hey, you..." Jiu'er stomped her feet angrily, and was about to get Hanshuang, but was stopped by Jiang Ran.
"Miss, what exactly did she say to you? Why can't you tell me?" Jiu'er asked in confusion.
Jiang Ran shook his head, sighed, turned around and walked into the house: "Jiu'er, I want to be alone."
