Luoyang, Luoyang, the Jade Tower and the Golden Palace, the poetry and wine, the sound of the jade flute echoes this night, and the whole city is filled with the fragrance of peonies.
At this moment, An Yan saw with his own eyes that the divine city in the poem had a completely different appearance from the ancient city in his memory of his previous life, and it was also a completely different world from the city outside the city gate.
At a glance from the main street, you can see green tiles, red walls and bluestone pavement, scattered houses and pavilions everywhere, cars and horses flowing in and out, vendors and footmen selling goods along the street, hot wind blowing in the face, and shop signs and flags fluttering.
He saw a dragon!
A giant brass dragon!
Lying above a palace, which is the center of Luoyang, the giant dragon seems to be sleeping, protecting the entire divine city!
"That's..." An Yan was a little stunned.
Commander Gao glanced sideways at him. Most people who entered Luoyang for the first time had this reaction.
"Guardian of the Divine Capital."
An Yan thought of the steam machinery that opened the city gate, the geared horses that pulled the porridge cart...
He was a little confused and couldn't calm down.
Luoyang City only had a quick glance and did not go around for a long time. Anyan was taken into a quiet and uninhabited courtyard and placed in a room. Soon a bucket of water and a set of clean clothes were brought to her.
His current appearance was really unsightly, and An Yan could also imagine the smell emanating from his body.
After scrubbing the dirt off his body, he put on the plain green shirt, except for the short hair on his head, which looked like he was pretending to be an ancient person. Looking at the young and thin face in the bronze mirror, this was the first time An Yan saw himself here. appearance.
He is much younger, with sharp eyebrows and phoenix eyes. Although he is showing off his age, there is no vitality in his eyes. When his eyelashes are lowered, it seems that he is hiding many things.
The door suddenly opened, and a black-armored guard with a black sword on his waist appeared in the door frame, holding a food box in his hand.
An Yan immediately saluted the other party: "I'm sorry to bother you, Master."
The soldier said nothing, and all he could see under his iron face was a pair of cold, indifferent eyes as he placed the food box on the dining table.
"Where's Jade?" The soldier suddenly spoke, with a cold female voice coming out of his mouth.
An Yan froze, surprised that the soldier turned out to be a woman, and thought: "Hasn't Yu already been seen by Commander Gao?"
"Where did you get that piece of jade?" the soldier asked again.
"That's what my father left behind."
Stupid!
The black sword was instantly unsheathed, and An Yan felt a cold light flash before his eyes, and a cold touch touched his neck.
"Nonsense!" The soldier sneered: "You obviously snatched it from somewhere else. You are a vicious person, and you still want to marry the Yu family?! I don't think you have many heads that can be chopped off!"
This black sword was sharp. An Yan had seen it kill many people with just one sword outside the city.
But An Yan didn't panic. If the other party really wanted to kill her, why would he bring him meals when he came, or bring him here to bathe and change clothes.
"Everything I said is true. You only need to see my uncle to know whether it is true or false." An Yan said without changing his expression. "If I were a fake person, I wouldn't be able to survive by then."
The soldier continued to question: "Since you are a relative of the Yu family, why don't you know anything about the Yu surname in the city?"
"My uncle is my father's good friend in his early years. We live far away in Yanzhou, so it's normal for us not to know each other. This time we came to Luoyang to visit relatives was also my father's order." An Yan said.
The black sword pressed against his neck did not move at all. The soldier stared at An Yan with his eyes, trying to see any flaw in his face.
Finally, the soldier took the black sword back and put it into the sheath on his waist.
An Yan was secretly relieved.
"Do you know the origin of that jade pendant?" The soldier suddenly asked again.
An Yan pondered for a while, he thought it was strange why this man was so interested in him.
"I only know that it is my father's relic."
I saw the soldier stretched out his hand and took off the ferocious devil's iron mask in front of An Yan, revealing a delicate face, but the eyebrows were too cold and the eyes were like cold pools, making it difficult for people to get close.
She is a beauty, but beauty is as sharp as a knife.
An Yan was slightly surprised.
"My name is Yu Nian." She said calmly.
I... read!
An Yan suddenly understood in her heart that why the other person questioned her previous words was that she was from the Yu family.
Yu Nian took out another object from his arms and put it in his hand. An Yan looked closely and saw that it was also a white jade pendant with hollow carvings. For a moment, he thought it was his own and had been stolen by the other party at some point. .
But soon he noticed that the characters on the jade were different. The one in Yu Nian's hand was the character "Nian".
"My sister's name is Yu Wan." Yu Nian said.
An Yan became thoughtful, and then took out his piece of jade with the word "Wan".
"She is already dead." Yu Nian said coldly.
An Yan was startled. At that moment, he had imagined many scenes.
Yu Nian put away the jade, then put on the iron mask again, turned and left the room, leaving Yu Anyan alone there.
He looked at the food box that Yu Nian sent just now, and he didn't quite understand what the other party's purpose was. Was it just to test whether he was a fake?
Then why did you have such an attitude later?
Looking at the carved blank jade in his hand, it seems that there are many stories in it, but he doesn't know it, and An Lu may not know it either.
After An Yan finished eating, she felt that her body felt much better, she had regained a lot of strength, and her spirit was less tired.
In this new life, I want to live well here.
Looking at the sunny day outside the window, An Yan had a lot of thoughts in her heart.
In the evening, someone asked An Yan to go out, and he saw Yu Nian again.
But at this moment, Yu Nian has changed her attire. She is no longer wearing the black armor and iron mask that covered her whole body before, but is wearing a slim-fitting girdle. She has an excellent figure and temperament, a slender figure, and her black hair is tied back. , standing there upright does not look like a young lady, but like a young man.
"Miss Yu." An Yan stepped forward to greet her.
"Yes." Yu Nian just responded calmly, turned around and walked out of the courtyard. There was a carriage and a groom parked on the street outside.
She spoke very little, but An Yan could understand many things without saying them in words.
The two of them were sitting in the carriage, and the atmosphere was eerily quiet. The carriage was luxurious and the cushions inside were very soft. Yu Nian sat there motionless, closing his eyes and meditating.
Her demeanor was indeed that of someone from the military. An Yan, who had nothing to do, raised the curtain and admired the street view outside.
Pedestrians are bustling, and tea shops and wine shops are even more lively.
The carriage stopped at the side entrance of a mansion. Even the side entrance looked extremely noble.
An Yan secretly thought that his "uncle", whom he had never met before, had an extraordinary status.
Commander Gao's previous words about being a high official in the imperial court made him constantly estimate how big he could be.
"Miss Yu, dare I ask my uncle..."
"He is the owner here." Yu Nian seemed to have known what he wanted to ask, and An Yan said directly before he finished speaking.
"Yu Jingtang, an official living in Fengge Internal History."
When she mentioned this person, her tone was still calm.
The internal history of Fengge?
An Yan thought about this official position carefully. In the previous life of the Tang Dynasty, its original person seemed to be Zhongshu Ling...prime minister!
What a high official!
The side door opened, and the servant inside was surprised when he saw Yu Nian, and quickly bowed and saluted: "Miss!"
"Um."
Yu Nian walked directly in. An Yan followed him, feeling surprised at the title of the servant just now.
Didn't Yu Nian say that she has an older sister? Why do she call her the eldest lady?
The doorman looked at the two people leaving and wondered why the young lady brought a man back.
This Yu Mansion is extremely large, and the layout of the outer courtyard alone is extremely luxurious, with pavilions, waterside pavilions, rockeries, green willows, and countless exotic flowers and plants for people to enjoy.
An Yan knew the ancient rules and he could not enter the inner house, which was where the female family members lived.
Along the way, I saw countless servants, all of whom saluted Yu Nian, and then secretly looked at An Yan with curious eyes.
An Yan was taken to the living room, and Yu Nian called the housekeeper.
"Not here?" Yu Nian frowned.
"The master is going to Wenren's house today." The butler responded.
"When did you go?"
"I went there in Shenshi. The master was in a hurry at that time."
Yu Nian glanced at the sky. The sun was setting in the west and it was already midnight.
"I know, go down."
The servants served tea to An Yan who was sitting there. Smelling the aroma in the cup, An Yan suddenly felt uncomfortable. He still woke up from the stench this morning, and now he has become a guest of the Prime Minister's Mansion. .
Yu Nian turned around and was about to speak when he suddenly heard laughter coming from far outside the door.
"A-Nian is back!"
A bright and beautiful figure burst into the hall. She was a gorgeous and noble woman, wearing a beaded hairpin and colorful embroidery. Her plump figure supported a heavy and full chest. Her smiling almond eyes seemed to hide a hook, which could attract people. Three souls and six souls were taken away.
As soon as the beautiful woman entered the living room, her eyes fell on An Yan. She smiled and the charming look on her face made An Yan's heart skip a beat.
"I heard that A-Nian brought a man back, and he is really handsome."
Hearing his words, he knew that An Yan was here for a long time, but as a female family member, she did not shy away from it. Behind her was a maid holding a snow-white Pekingese dog in her arms.
Facing the beautiful woman's teasing, Yu Nian frowned slightly.
"His name is Anyan, and he is a distant relative of the family."
"I've met Madam." An Yan stood up and saluted, guessing that this must be one of Yu Nian's elders.
The beautiful woman blinked her beautiful eyes and said in surprise: "Distant relative?"
"We'll find out when he comes back." Yu Nian only said.
#
Imperial City, Xiyuan.
The luxurious and elegant hall was very quiet, with wisps of white smoke drifting from the incense burner.
Master Xuanyi sat cross-legged on the futon to calm her nerves and meditate. She changed into a pure white Taoist robe, which made her appear more holy and dignified. The veil was still on her face.
The young maid quietly walked in, came to her side and spoke softly: "Master, today An Yan has been brought into the Yu Mansion."
There was no response to the waitress's words. She bowed politely and then turned around and left quietly.
After a while, Master Xuanyi slowly opened his quiet eyes and picked up a book from the couch beside him.
The book was opened, and the creased page was marked with two eye-catching characters:
Extremely sunny!
Her eyes flashed and she muttered softly: "It's a pity that it's an excellent cauldron."
