Xiaosheng is not a nerd

Chapter 145 Old Acquaintance
Lan Ning was surprised: "What servant needs 100 taels to redeem himself? Is he made of gold? I think he just wants to cheat your silver."

Qinglian whispered.

Lan Ning was surprised after hearing this: "Little boy? Tantai Mansion? Mrs. Xiaohe?"

Qinglian nodded, "I think that's the case. Dumb only needs 100 taels to redeem himself."

Lan Ning didn't respond, her eyes were far-reaching, and the corners of her mouth muttered, Mrs. Xiaohe, Tantai Heqing, sister Heqing...

Seeing that Lan Ning hadn't responded for a long time, Qing Lian asked, "Miss Lan Ning, are you willing to help me?"

Lan Ning returned to his senses and replied: "I will help you with this matter, and I will personally go to Tantai Mansion for you."

Qinglian was surprised, she didn't expect Mrs. Lanning to be so enthusiastic, and said happily: "That's great, with Mrs. Lanning on board, this matter will definitely be accomplished."

After Qinglian left, Lan Ning still fell into the distant memories, nine years, my childhood partner, my best friend...

"Miss, where's Qinglian?"

It wasn't until Juan'er appeared that Lanning came back to her senses, and said lightly, "I'm going back."

"Miss, I don't know where Qinglian went to find such a shocking song. Whoever sings this kind of song will be popular. If you sing it as a young lady, I'm afraid it will be even more amazing."

"I haven't sung a song for a long time. I'm afraid I'm unfamiliar with it. You can't ignore Qinglian's efforts, especially the male part. Not everyone can do it. The combination of male and female duet scenes is wonderful. Going into that poignant story is like being there, and the sadness comes from the heart."

"Miss, who do you think can make such a song in Suzhou City?"

"The lyrics are beautiful and the music is quiet, it must be..." Lan Ning said, but couldn't think of a suitable word to describe it, and instead said: "Okay, go and prepare hot water, I want to take a shower and change clothes, and go to see a an old friend."

Juan'er asked in surprise, "Who?"

"The person I've always missed but never dared to see now has a good reason."

Because of a purse, neither of the two people who were proud and arrogant was willing to give in, and gradually became strangers.

……

As dusk approached, in the study, Tantai Heqing was working as usual.

Butler Kong appeared at the door, "Miss, a lady from Lanning is here to see you."

"Lanning!" A little girl immediately appeared in Tantai Heqing's mind.

Butler Kong said again: "Miss just came back, this Miss Lanning has come here for the third time today, and Miss Lanning entrusted me to present this thing to Miss."

Tantaihe looked over affectionately, and saw Steward Kong holding an exquisite brocade box in both hands, "Bring it here."

Tantai Heqing opened the brocade box, and the items in the box were wrapped with a piece of yellow silk.

The Tantai Crane was gently opened, but it was an old purse that could not be worn any longer, showing the traces of time, but the embroidered characters on the purse were clearly recognizable, the word Crane.

The two who were little girls back then had a falling out because of this purse, but they never spoke a word to each other for nine years.

A bitter smile appeared on the corner of Tantai Heqing's mouth, are you afraid that I won't see you?Thinking about it now, it was so naive and ridiculous back then.

"Miss."

Tantaihe regained his composure, "Please wait in the hall of Lady Lanning, I will come soon."

Tantai Heqing specially changed his clothes and washed his face before rushing to the hall.

In the hall, Lan Ning was sitting in a chair sipping tea, when he saw Tantai Crane Qing appearing at the door of the hall, he immediately stood up.

The two women just looked at each other silently, looked at each other, but didn't say a word.

Nine years have passed, and the two little girls who were deeply in love at the beginning have now embarked on different life trajectories.

One became the lady of Suzhou Oiran.

One became Mrs. Xiaohe.

But they never met again.

It's so strange, just like looking at someone she never knew, Lan Ning desperately tried to find some familiar traces from this beautiful and dignified face, except for those beautiful clear eyes, she couldn't recognize anything else.

Lan Ning felt that his eyes were a little red, and asked softly, "Did you receive the purse?"

Tantai He Qing nodded.

Lan Ning smiled slightly: "This is the best treasure that I have carefully treasured all these years."

"Miss Lanning, please sit down."

Tantai Heqing said, walked to the couch and sat down, "Today..."

Tantaihe fell in love for a while but didn't know how to start.

Lan Ning said with a smile: "Today's sudden visit is to ask Miss Tantai for convenience."

"Oh, please say it."

"Lanning wants to buy a servant from Miss Tantai."

Tantai Heqing smiled sweetly when he heard the words, probably because he was looking for a reason to meet, or to save too much embarrassment, he said with a smile: "I have some servants here that the lady Hua Kui likes."

"I am also entrusted by others."

Lan Ning talked about Qinglian's desire to redeem Dumb's life.

Qinglian has only become famous in the past few days, and Tantai Heqing doesn't know her well, but that's not important, she asked, "What's the name of this servant?"

Lan Ning responded, "Dumb."

Tantaihe said in a clear voice: "Let Steward Kong go and call Dumb here now."

"Thank you Miss Tantai."

"Miss Lanning, you are being polite. I still think there are too many servants in the mansion and they have eaten too much rice. I wish I could sell some of them."

Lan Ning giggled, Tantai Heqing also smiled.

This smile eased the strange feeling that the two hadn't seen each other for a long time.

Lan Ning glanced at Tantai Heqing lightly, and said lightly: "Sister Heqing, do you still blame me?"

A cry of elder sister Heqing immediately brought Tantai Heqing back to the distant time.

Two little girls on the bank of the river, playing together, sharing food together, singing songs together...

It was a happy and wonderful time.

Lan Ning said lightly: "At that time, I was young and ignorant, so I shouldn't have snatched Sister Heqing's purse from you."

Tantai Heqing smiled, "It's been a long time, it's all gone, it's such a trivial thing."

"But it's such a trivial matter, but we haven't said a word in nine years. Both of us are arrogant, and neither of us is willing to give in. Let's say the first sentence first."

Tantai Heqing smiled lightly: "Many things are like this, we can't change the past, we can only look forward."

"But after I grow up, I realize how precious the people I used to be are. Sister Heqing, if I can choose again, I will never fight with you for anything."

Tantai He sighed, and said softly: "Lan Ning, I'm being stingy, that purse was specially embroidered for me by my mother..." Then he smiled: "Forget it, I'm still stingy after all."

Lan Ning said, "I know, I'm jealous of you."

Tantai He smiled wryly: "Are you still jealous of me now? I should be jealous of you."

Lan Ning stood up, "Sister Heqing, November [-]th..."

Lan Ning was halfway through speaking, butler Kong walked in, "Miss, there is no one named Dumb in the mansion."

Tantai Heqing specifically asked: "Is there no one named Dumb?"

Butler Kong replied: "There are 93 servants in the mansion. I know the names of all the servants. None of them are named Dumb."

Tantai Heqing turned to Lanning and asked, "Lanning, did you make a mistake?"
