A glance at the spring breeze

In the early morning of the second day, the sun was slanting, mixed with a little cool rain falling into the room.

Ruan Lan woke up, and when she opened her eyes, she saw a strange scene in front of her. Then she remembered that he followed He Wei to He Shangshu's mansion last night. So she ordered the servants to clean up a room, so Ruan Lan rested in He Mansion.

In fact, he has nowhere to go, if he didn't come out with He Wei last night, he would probably be left behind by Yin Jian.

If he was really left behind, what was the difference from before he escaped from the palace?

Ruan Lan thought about the next plan for a while on the bed, and he didn't get up until it was a little brighter again.

When he left the room, he asked and found out that He Shangshu had already gone to court.

Ding of the He Mansion said: "Master He said that if Master Ruan wakes up and wants to continue wandering around the mansion after eating breakfast, he can go to the study. Master Ruan, you love calligraphy and painting, and the study has collected many masterpieces of famous masters."

"Thank Mr. He for me."

In the final analysis, Ruan Lan was nothing more than an advising doctor in name only.To put it bluntly, he was once the confinement of the emperor. Even in the Han Dynasty, when masculinity prevailed, these things would be despised by future generations in history books.Therefore, in terms of status and reputation, Ruan Lan is far from being able to be called a brother and brother with the emperor's close friend, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, He Wei.But He Wei didn't care about his reputation, and was still willing to associate with Ruan Lan. He not only played chess with him until late at night, but also allowed him to walk around in the mansion at will.

What a straightforward and generous person, Ruan Lan secretly sighed in her heart.

After freshening up and eating, Ruan Lan followed the servants to the study room, walked around in it, and found several scrolls of calligraphy and paintings in one corner.

It is Ruan Lan's own calligraphy and painting.

There are "Orchid Pavilion Preface" written by himself when he was arrogant when he was young, there are landscape paintings made when he climbed Emei, and "Donglin Fu" written with great interest when he was drunk... This "Donglin Fu" Ruan Lan thought it was Many years ago, people copied the temporary post, but upon careful inspection, it turned out to be the original manuscript written by him.

Ruan Lan couldn't help being a little surprised.

Ruan Lan glanced to the side, eh... unexpectedly put his calligraphy and painting beside Wang Xizhi, Xie Tiao and other famous artists?I think highly of him.Ruan Lan quickly moved the three volumes in front of her to the back.

Speaking of collecting calligraphy and paintings... Ruan Lan did not do much.In fact, Ruan Lan also secretly collected He Wei's calligraphy and paintings in the mansion.Many years ago, Ruan Lan was ordered by the former prince Yin Cheng to observe Yin Jian and his confidant He Wei's every move in secret. Unexpectedly, she was immediately attracted by the literary talent beside Yin Jian.

He Wei's writing is brilliant, and the characters he writes are like dragons, which is almost the same as Ruan Lan's talent.In addition to being born with a good brain, he is also very hardworking.If she was born in a famous family like Ruan Lan, she must have become famous at a young age... It's a pity that she was born in a poor family, and everyone likes to talk about the anecdotes of the noble son, who would care about the poor children on the street?Fortunately, Yin Jianhui's eyes knew the pearl, so he didn't let this person be buried in the dragon and phoenix.

Ruan Lan was amazed at He Wei's talent at the time, but because she was a political opponent in court, she only quietly collected a few volumes of articles written by He Wei.Unlike Ruan Lan's calligraphy and paintings, which were circulated eagerly, no literati were willing to pick up He Wei's articles even if they were thrown on the ground, so Ruan Lan received a few of them in the small bookstore where He Wei often went very easily.The boss said that a customer accidentally threw it in his shop, and waited and waited until the customer didn't come to pick it up. He must have wanted it and was about to sell it as waste paper.

Those few articles by He Wei were not about political affairs, they were purely commentaries on some classics of the theory of the Warring States Period.Ruan Lan was overjoyed, took it home and read it through the night, and hid it in her study.

Years later, Ruan Lan actually saw the same scene in He Wei's study.

However, the original manuscript of "Donglin Fu" was lost long before the crown prince lost power, and Ruan Lan couldn't find it after searching for several days.How did He Wei pick it up?

I'll have to ask next time.

Ruan Lan couldn't help thinking about it again, it was very interesting that both of them were collecting calligraphy and paintings of their deadly rivals at the same time.I don't know if Yin Cheng secretly knows, will he be angry with him?

Ruan Lan wandered around in the study for a while, looked at some other wonderful things, and then came out.

A servant waiting outside the door asked: "My lord, do you want to continue walking around the mansion?"

"No need." Ruan Lan said, "I've been bothering you for a long time, and I'm going to leave."

The servant took out a package out of nowhere: "This is the West Lake Longjing that my lord brought back from Qiantang. My lord told you to try it."

"How can this be..." Ruan Lan subconsciously refused.He eats and sleeps in other people's house, how can he accept He Wei's stuff in the end?

The servant said with a simple and honest smile: "Why not, my lord gave it to many people, so you can keep it."

Also, although West Lake Longjing is famous, it is not very expensive.Sending it back and forth in the officialdom, others can accept it with peace of mind, and they won't be labeled as "accepting bribes" by those who care...

It would be hypocritical to make excuses again, and He Wei also had good intentions.So, Ruan Lan accepted it, and said goodbye.

At the same time, after all the officials came down——

Yin Jian couldn't really go to court yet, he had to find some ministers to discuss matters alone.

Because of the trip to sacrifice to heaven, political affairs have accumulated for so many days, it is time to pay off the debt.

Yin Jian got up before dawn to go to court, and was so busy until the sun went down in the afternoon that he didn't even have time to eat lunch.After discussing with the last minister who entered the palace, he was finally able to take a sip of tea.

While opening the cup, he asked Manager Zhang: "What did Ruan Lan do today?"

Manager Zhang replied: "Your Majesty, Master Ruan went to visit his mother's grave after he came out of He Mansion this morning."

A few days ago, he told Ruan Lan where Ruan's mother was buried. Ruan Lan had always been filial, so Yin Jian expected him to visit her mother.

"What about after that?" It's impossible to go to the grave for a day.

"After that..." Director Zhang's eyes showed some hesitation, "After that...Master Ruan went to Princess Yueyang's consort's mansion...and told Princess Yueyang that he will rest in the consort's mansion tonight..."

"..." Yin Jian shook his hands, and the corners of his mouth were immediately scalded by the tea in the cup.

Who doesn't know that Princess Yueyang's son-in-law's mansion is a dragon's pool and a tiger's den, especially if a man with a slightly better appearance enters... probably he won't be able to get out.What's more, Ruan Lan is so handsome?

Yin Jian wanted to directly say "bring Ruan Lan back to me", but when the words came to his lips, he stopped.He walked half a circle around the house alone, guessing: "I would rather live in the princess mansion than come to see me... Do you think he is asking me for a mansion?"

"The slave doesn't know."

Yin Jian thought about it for a while, and became more and more convinced of this guess: "He rested at He Wei's place last night, and now he is going to the son-in-law's mansion... Doesn't that mean he is telling me that he will not return to the palace when he comes to Beijing this time?" what?"

In fact, Manager Zhang thought so too.

He has already given him an official position, how can he continue to live in the palace?

Isn't this insulting...

But Director Zhang dared not say these words, and he couldn't say them, so he could only reply respectfully: "Your Majesty's words are absolutely true."

With Director Zhang's reply, Yin Jian was even more convinced of this: "Very good. Yun Sheng, come out of the palace with me."

Director Zhang was stunned: "But, Your Majesty, you haven't had dinner yet..." What's more, you haven't even had lunch in time, how can your body bear it?

"Are there any delicacies in the concubine's mansion? Yun Sheng, you underestimate my imperial sister." Yin Jian walked out of the imperial study and ordered, "Help me get a set of ordinary clothes, I want to leave the palace in modest clothes."

"Yes."

Manager Zhang hurriedly followed.

After half an hour.

In the son-in-law's mansion, the lights are just on.

Yin Qin'er is entertaining Ruan Lan.The food on the dinner table was indeed as Yin Jian said, all kinds of delicacies.Yin Qin'er toasted Ruan Lan with a bright and generous demeanor: "Ruan Lan, we won't go home if we don't get drunk today!"

Then drink it up.

Ruan Lan took a sip of a drink and thought, "Princess, tell me to tell the secret guard that I slept with you today. Is it really useful..."

Yin Qin'er took a bite of squirrel mandarin fish for Ruan Lan, and replied without thinking, "Of course it's useful." Then he persuaded, "Don't worry about it, I think Ruan Lan has a lot of worries, and you just need to drink to relieve your worries. Time. Brother Huang, should he not let you drink wine on weekdays? Drink more today, I, Princess Yueyang, have nothing else, good wine is everything!"

Ruan Lan was really preoccupied. Hearing Yin Qin'er's words, he filled a glass of wine and drank it in one gulp.The wine is fragrant but not spicy, with a hint of sweetness rippling in the throat, cool and pleasant, it is indeed a good wine.

Princess Yueyang leaned into Ruan Lan's ear and said, "Ruan Lan, if His Majesty rewards you with a mansion, you will be alone and live in Nuo Da's mansion, will you be lonely?"

Ruan Lan shook her head, smiled wryly and said, "If you say I'm lonely, I'm already lonely."

——From the day when Yin Jian came to power.

Princess Yueyang didn't realize that she had poked Ruan Lan's pain, she asked: "Ruan Lan, why don't I give you a small gift to relieve your boredom?"

"Gift?" After drinking a lot of wine, Ruan Lan's brain didn't turn the corner for a moment.

Princess Yueyang thought he was Yun, clapped her hands quickly, and shouted to the door: "Let them come up!"

After a while, two boys came up.The boys knelt down and kowtowed in front of the two: "The princess is thousand years old."

Looking at the appearance, the face is like a crown of jade, and the skin is as white as snow, and the two look very similar, as if they were carved out of the same mold.

Ruan Lan was embarrassed now, and then realized that the "gift" Princess Yueyang was talking about was her face raised in the consort's mansion.

Being imprisoned in the palace for these years, Ruan Lan knew little about the outside world, she only knew that Princess Yueyang had a bad relationship with her son-in-law, but she didn't know that Yin Qin'er was about to turn the son-in-law's mansion into Changchun courtyard.He didn't believe it when he heard other people mention it after he left the palace, he just took it as the gossip of ordinary people.Unexpectedly, this time he really came to the consort's mansion... He suddenly realized that Yin Qin'er had really raised a face in the mansion, and even the servants in the concubine's mansion were all handsome young men who had not been tortured.

Princess Yueyang said: "This is a pair of twin brothers. Their family suffered a sudden disaster, and their parents entrusted them to me in desperation. Ruan Lan, you are a gentle person, I think you will treat them well."

Ruan Lan's whole body tensed up after hearing this: "This...isn't it good..."

"What's wrong?" Princess Yueyang persuaded him, "When it's said to be happy, being with twin brothers who look the same is the most satisfying. Why don't you give it a try, Mr. Ruan? Life is full of joy, don't let the golden cup be empty to the moon... ...If Ruan Lan really doesn't like it after the test, she can give it to His Majesty, I believe His Majesty will be happy."

Ruan Lan was already extremely embarrassed, but when she heard Princess Yueyang say "for Your Majesty", Ruan Lan's eyes lit up suddenly, she slapped her thigh with her right hand, and praised: "Very good."

If it was given to Yin Jian, since Yin Xian is very masculine, I believe this pair of brothers will serve Yin Jian well.

——Then Yin Jian won't bother him anymore.

Princess Yueyang thought it was Ruan Lan who had listened to her theory of "to be happy in life", she said to the two kneeling with joy, "If that's the case, then it's settled, and you will follow Mr. Ruan tonight." leave."

"Thank you, Princess." The two brothers kowtowed on the ground again, "Princess's great kindness, we brothers will never forget it."

Ruan Lan was still thinking about it, when she suddenly heard a familiar voice from outside the door: "My Royal Sister... I'm here to look for you, why don't you come out to meet me?"

Ruan Lan was secretly startled: Yin Jian really came.
