When she arrived outside the farm, she saw Ruan Qingyan with Ruan Yi and several servants standing under thatched eaves to take shelter from the rain. His coir raincoat and bamboo hat had been untied and leaned against the earthen wall to dry. His mourning dress was covered with a white open-fronted robe because he was going out. His open-fronted robe was wet a few pieces, but he didn't look embarrassed. However, he had a kind of aboveboard and unruly demeanor.
"Cousin, what are you doing here?" Seeing Qiu Yelan coming out, Ruan Yi and others hurriedly held up their umbrellas and took refuge outside the eaves.
Ruan Qingyan looked at her look and said, "I heard that the heavy rain has cut off the way back to the city. You have to stay here for a few days. I can't rest assured. So I come and have a look."
"I'm fine. Don't worry." Qiu Yelan's heart warmed up and said with a smile, "But cousin, why do you come here in person? You have to make a det
Qiu Yelan followed Ruan Qingyan into the newly purchased courtyard. The courtyard with three courtyards looked old. In the second courtyard there was a tall ebony tree, which covered most of the sky with luxuriant branches and darkened the main house.The bodyguard who was arranged to clean up first was very capable. Not to mention that the original owner had moved away in such a short time, and they had cleaned up almost inside and outside."What happened when you saw Qiu Feng twice?" They sat down in the hall. Ruan Yi hurriedly directed people to make tea.Ruan Qingyan took a sip of tea and asked.Qiu Yelan just fell out with Jiang Yashuang. Her heart was in a mess at this moment. She was not in high spirits, saying, "Yesterday, it was he, Xun Yuxi, and Li Xuan who borrowed the mastiff dog from Ling Zui. He did not expect when the mastiff escaped the reins, it scared Chunfu Princess's Persian cat. This matter was constantly criti
When Ruan Qingyan went back to the little yard, it was still raining and began to dawn.After a day and night ordeal, his face was now pale and his eyes were bloodshot even though he was in the prime of his life. But his eyes were still bright and gleaming. Flames burned in his eyes from the bottom.He walked into the front hall as he untied his coir raincoat. Two guards behind him were dragging a man who was bleeding. He wasn't even wearing a coir raincoat. The rainwater mixed with blood, making the floor from the threshold to the hall red."Hand over Yelan to me safely, and I'll let you three leave the capital safely!" When he reached the inner room, he took the handkerchief handed over timidly by Chunran. He wiped his face when he said coldly.Just a few minutes ago, Qiu Bo, who gossiped Ruan Qingyan with Qiu Qian, now suddenly stood up and saluted to Ruan Qingyan, "Young master, we will remember your mercy on us forever! But yo
After taking the pills that Qiu Jinglan brought, Qiu Yelan could talk, but she still felt tired.Chen Shui put two cushions behind her back to make her feel more comfortable. When she was about to leave, Qiu Jinglan asked her, "Did Mei Xue and Qiu Qian wake up?"Chen Shui answered with fear, "The guy who tortured them struck hard. They probably won't wake up today."Qiu Jinglan looked angry. Before he about to say anything, Qiu Yelan pulled herself together and mediated, "You were so angry just now. They won't slight you. Just wait for a day then. Didn't you say orchid incense was not fatal?" Mei Xue and the other two had the mind of betrayal for a long time. Qiu Jinglan's focus was always on the official circles which gave them an opportunity.Even this time, because of Qiu Feng's accidental intervention, they fell short of success. But Qiu Nie did ask Qiu Qian to have a back-up plan. The orchid incense used to contain Qiu Yelan w
It was raining cats and dogs.Although they were shaded by a lush Chinese tallow tree, Qiu Jinglan and Qiu Feng got wet through after they confronted each other in the yard for a short while.If at ordinary times, they wouldn't be in such a difficult position.But they both knew that they were facing the vigorous opponent of their lives at that moment. A small negligence could cost their lives. Of course they didn't have time to take shelter from the rain using their inner power."You have been busy running about in these two days. And you are exhausted trying to save Commandery Princess Ningyi. Challenging you to a duel at this moment brings me no honor to the victor!" Qiu Feng took out the long sword from behind slowly and said word by word, "But I'm not doing it for exchanging experience. I'm doing it for revenge... Come on!""Clash!"Through the window, Qiu Yelan could hear the swords banging noises wh
But now, Qiu Yelan and her brother, unaware that Mei Xue had given them trouble, were discussing about going to the Xue Family, "In fact, if we go to the Xue Family with the excuse for pleading for Xue Fangmi, and if we go there as soon as we return to the city, we surely demonstrate our sincerity.""I will tell people that you caught a cold while you were in that village, and that you would go there tomorrow. Then I will tell them that you weren't well today, so you dare not go over right away. That's it," said Qiu Jinglan gently while he took control of his horse and walked alongside the carriage. "You've only been relieved of the poison, and coming back to the city. You'd better have a rest for a day. We are late, anyway! Why don't we have one more day off..."Before he finished speaking, the sound of hoofbeats suddenly came from behind. One man shouted, "Ruan Qingyan. Please wait up!"Upon hearing this voice, Qiu Jinglan felt very surprised
Ling Zui had been causing trouble for so many years and was born and raised in the capital, how could he be defeated by a Young Prince who just entered the capital? With a contemptuous wave of his hand, the guards behind him immediately offered the concealed weapons for the scuffle, such as lime powder, firecrackers, blowing arrows, and small crossbows. All stuff they could get at hand. Even some of them who took whatever they could fetch. They tore off their sleeves to wrap up the horse dung from the street and smash it into the crowd of Western Army soldiers.In terms of strength, Kuang Qingwu's men were definitely better than Ling Zui's. The problem was that although the street was quite abroad, Qiu Yelan's carriages, Ling Zui and his men and Kuang Qingwu and his men were standing on the street face to face, which blocked the street. The Western Army soldiers couldn’t gallop in such a street with so many people!The cavalry couldn't gallop. Meanwhile, th
At this time, Qiu Jinglan was explaining, "After I passed the provincial exam, I had hoped to study hard for several years and then go to the capital to take the imperial exam when I was sure of winning the first rank. At the same time, I could find an opportunity to be reunited with my family. However, my mother, who had not contacted me for eleven years, suddenly managed to send a message to me, asking me to go to Mount Dizi to pick up my sister. I was worried that something would happen to my mother, so I arranged people to go to Mount Dizi. I packed up and went to the capital ahead of time. In this way, I happened to be your disciple."Xue Chang asked suspiciously, "Princess Ningyi came down the mountain by herself after the avalanche and was picked up by people of Prince's Mansion of Xihe? According to what you said, the people you sent should have arrived at Mount Dizi ahead of time. Why hadn't they met her?"Qiu Jinglan said bitterly, "In fact, I don
Kuang Qingwu went out of the teahouse and was helped by his old servant to get in the carriage waiting outside.Before he got in, he couldn't help but be stunned. He controlled himself not to say the name that was on the tip of his tongue. It was after the carriage left the teahouse for a little while that he whispered, "Sorry for troubling you again, my teacher."The man in a green shirt who got in the carriage before he was a middle-aged scholar. He was elegant with three wisps of long whiskers on his jaws, and he looked particularly impressive.But he held a cavalier attitude towards Kuang Qingwu, Marquess Zhang's Young Prince, who even Jiang Yashuang dared not to kill. Since Kuang Qingwu got in the carriage, the man didn't even look at him. Instead, he was preoccupied with his chess in front of him. Even for now, he was still staring at it without raising his head, "I told you that I would teach you for a while for your breast-mother's sake
