Chapter 86: Light Mood
顾云兰径直出了杨家的大门，她好气又好笑，明明是来看热闹的，结果搞了一肚子的气回去，既然她安姣娜不知好歹，以后就不要怪她了，看在父亲的面子上，她不仅留了手，还救了她几次。
Gu Yunlan promptly left from the Yang Family’s gates, smiling happily. Clearly she was only there to watch all the fun, yet returned with such a satisfactory outcome. Since that An Jiaona can’t tell apart bad and good intentions, anything else that happens won’t be her problem. For her father’s face, she couldn’t help but make a move and even save her a few times.
“云兰！你等我啊！”轩辕梦跟在身后喊道，不说云兰被气到，她也被气到了，那安姣娜真是活该被卖！那男人那样对她，她居然死性不改。
“Yunlan! Wait for me!” Xuanyuan Meng chased from behind as she hollered. Yunlan wasn’t the only one angry, even she felt angry. That An Jiaona really deserved to be sold! That man treated her that way, yet she’s rather die than change.
看到顾云兰放慢脚步，身后的三人一喜跟了上去，轩辕梦一把拉住她的胳膊，“云兰！别气了！这种人不值得的！”
Seeing Gu Yunlan slow her steps, the three trailing behind caught up with delight. Xuanyuan Meng grabbed ahold of her arm, “Yunlan! Don’t be angry!”
“就是！小姐！我看着他们那副嘴脸，都想抽他们几巴掌，幸好阿沐替我做了！”欣儿一脸感激的看着阿沐。
“That’s right! Young Miss! Look at their face, makes me want to slap them a few times. At least A’ Mu did it for me!” Xin’er looked over at A’ Mu gratefully.
“我也是看着有气，看到那男不男女不女的说出那样的话，就直接一巴掌打了，你们不怪我多事就好！”阿沐有些不好意思了，她也是情急之下打了。
“I also felt angry watching it all, seeing that neither manly or womanly way to talk, I just directly sent over a palm. As long as you guys don’t mind my medling!” A’ Mu said somewhat embarrassed, the strike was a spur of a moment action.
“好！你们两都做的好！”轩辕梦满意的看着两丫头，她转头看着顾云兰，安慰道，“云兰！没事吧？”
“Good! You both did well!” Xuanyuan Meng looked at the two girls in satisfaction, then turned to look at Gu Yunlan, consoling, “Yunlan! Are you alright?”
顾云兰一顿，随即笑开，“没事！我们只不过是过去看热闹而已，我们的目的已经达到了不是么？”
Gu Yunlan halted, then smiled widely, “I’m fine! I was only there to watch the fun, didn’t we already get what we want?”
轩辕梦不放心的看了她一眼，见她真的没事，才松口气，“你说的不错！杨锦自愿降两级，两人的身子都破了，估计以后杨锦要外出找女人了，看到他今天那萎靡的模样我就高兴，还有那个谁的，居然要送赔礼了过来，我们赚大！”
Xuanyuan Meng glanced at her uneasily, but released a breath when she saw she was really okay, “Well said! Yangjin dropped two ranks voluntarily, the two are both no longer virgins, I guess Yangjin will now go out of his way to find women. Seeing his dispirited look today made me so happy. And also that person, he even talked about sending an apology gift, we struck gold today!”
“有时间查一下是谁放出流言，我很好奇这背后的黑手是谁！”顾云兰看了眼远处，就这么一会儿，雪又加大了。
“Find out who spread the rumor if you have time, I’m truly curious as to who’s working behind my back!” Gu Yunlan looked into the distance. In this short period of time, the snowfall became even heavier.
其实她该高兴的，说明轩辕的实力在恢复，他控制了他体内热度，这也是为什么前些日子一直没有下雪的缘故，她最担心的还是将臣，尤其是那日听到的最后一句话，“逃？等本王恢复实力看你怎么逃出本王的手掌心！”
In reality she should be happy since Xuanyuan’s power is recovering.; he can control his body temperature. This was also the reason it hasn’t been snowing recently. She worries most about Jiang Chen, especially those last words she heard back then, “Run? Wait until this emperor recovers and see how you will escape then!”
“怎么了？怎么心神不宁的？”轩辕梦伸出手在她面前挥了挥，怎么又发呆了？
“What’s wrong? Why so distracted?” Xuanyuan Meng waved her hands in front of her face, why is she staring blankly?
“没事！”顾云兰摇摇头，附近的城市依旧有少女在消失，将臣的实力肯定在恢复，真希望轩辕应的实力早日恢复……她叹了口气，抬脚继续走着。
“Nothing’s wrong!” Gu Yunlan shook her head. Girls from nearby cities are still disappearing, which means Jiang Chen’s strength is definitely recovering. She really hopes Xuanyuan Ying’s strength can recover sooner… she let out a sigh, then lifted her feet to continue on her way.
车子停的不远，离杨家只有两百米远，四人皆是沉默的走到了车前，顾云兰拉开车门打算钻进去。
The car wasn’t parked far, only about two hundred meters away from the Yang Family. The four walked silently to the car, Gu Yunlan opened the car door preparing to go in.
“咦？云兰？梦梦？”一道女声从身后传来，似是有几分意外。
“Yi? Yunlan? Mengmeng?” A woman’s voice called from behind them, sounding surprised to see them here.
顾云兰原本弯腰进去的身子，缩了回来，她转身朝声音看去，随即却是面露喜色，“罗兰！你怎么到这边了？”
Poised ready to duck into the car, Gu Yunlan immediately stepped back out and turned around towards the voice’s direction. Her face immediately lit up in delight, “Luolan! How come you’re over here?”
“笨啊！这里是我们家的后门！”紫罗兰一脸笑意的走了过来，“你们两来这里干嘛？”
“Dummy! This is my home’s back gates!” Zi Luolan walked over smilingly, “What are you two doing here then?”
“看妹妹！她婆家在这里！”顾云兰笑的很勉强。
“I was visiting my little sister! Her new home is here!” Gu yunlan smiled forcefully.
“是杨家啊？早上闹得很凶！”紫罗兰没有过多追问这事，她随即话题一转问道，“晚上有空么？”
“The Yang Family? They made such a ruckus this morning!” Zi Luolan didn’t ask for any more details, as she then changed the topic with a question, “Do you have time tonight?”
顾云兰一愣，随即点点头，“怎么了？”
Gu Yunlan hesitated, then nodded her head, “What for?”
“上次的事情很抱歉！然后，这年关的，我一直忙着生意的事，就思索着想请你吃个饭赔礼，谁知刚好看到你在这里，相邀不如偶遇，一起去我的云似客来吃个饭怎么样？”紫罗兰朝她一笑，诧异的看着她，“咦？你买车了？”
“I must apologize for the matters last night! Also, I’ve been busy with business matters the whole year, so I was thinking about inviting you out to eat. Who knew you’d show up right then, such a coincidence. What do you think about going to our Clouds Arrive As Guests for a meal?” Zi Luolan smiled towards her, watching her hesitantly, “Yi? You bought a car?”
“我哥给她的！”轩辕梦靠在车边悠闲地说道。
“My big bro gave it to her!” Xuanyuan Meng leaned on the side of the car aying leisurely.
“咦？”紫罗兰诧异的看着她，“云兰！难道坊市的流言是真的？你和轩辕大帅？”
“Yi?” Zi Luolan looked hesitatingly at her, “Yunlan! Could the rumors be true? You and Marshal Xuanyuan?”
顾云兰眸子闪了闪，扯开话题，“罗兰，你不是说要请我们吃饭么？我答应还不行么？晚上几点？”
Gu Yunlan’s pupils flashed, she changed the topic, “Yunlan, didn’t you say you wanted to invite me out to eat? Can’t I just answer? What time tonight?”
“哦！”紫罗兰回过神，看到顾云兰转移话题，就知道她不想讨论这个话题了，连忙笑道，“晚上七点，把你朋友们都喊去，我请客！人多热闹！”
“Oh!” Zi Luolan snapped back to attention. Hearing her change the topic, she knew she didn’t want to talk about the matter. She hurriedly smiled, “Tonight at seven, bring your friends along too, I’ll pay! It’s good to have more people!”
“这怎么好意思？昨天晚上我们吃饭就没付钱，估计你家的掌柜怕我了！一下子吃了那么多，以后一年不用去了！”顾云兰有些不好意思的笑道，昨晚他们估计吃了不少的钱，又都是新鲜菜。
“How can this be okay? We didn’t have to pay when we ate yesterday, your family’s shopkeeper is scared of us now! Eating so much in one afternoon, we shouldn’t go again for at least another year!” Gu Yunlan smiled somewhat embarrassed. They probably wasted quite a lot of money last night, especially since they were freshly made dishes.
“说什么话呢！”紫罗兰斜了她一眼，“你是谁？我最好的朋友，也只有你可以无限的吃！”
“What do you mean!” Zi Luolan shot her a look, “Who are you? My best friend, so you can definitely eat with no care!”
“哇！”轩辕梦一脸的惊喜，昨晚云兰打包回去的，她觉得美味无比啊！啧啧，她连忙道，“云兰！以后去，记得带上我啊！”
“Wow!” Xuanyuan Meng was completely delighted. She thought the food they brought home last night was incomparably delicious! Tche tche, she immediately said, “Yunlan! Remember to bring me whenever you go in the future!”
“吃货！”顾云兰没好气的瞪了她一眼，随即朝紫罗兰道，“罗兰！这丫头就是吃货，别理她！”
“Pig!” Gu Yunlan gave her the stink eye, then said to Zi Luolan, “Luolan! This girl is a real pig, don’t mind her!”
“好！加上你！”紫罗兰好笑的看着她，她紫家财大业大，才不在乎这些，她抬头看了看天色，问道，“你们吃饭没？这大中午的，要不我们几个现在过去吃个饭？”
“Alright! You can come!” Zi Luolan looked at her teasingly. Her Zi Family has great wealth and business, these little things don’t matter. She lifted her head to survey the sky color, asking, “Have you eaten? It’s already midday, why don’t we go eat there first?”
“不了！我们回去吃！”顾云兰摇摇头，“等下他们还不知道我们去哪里了！”
“No way! We’ll eat back home!” Gu Yunlan shook her head, “They’ll be wondering where we went!”
“行！”紫罗兰捂嘴偷笑，一副明了的模样，朝两人眨眨眼，“我就不留你们了！快回去吧！”
“Okay!” Zi Luolan giggled into her sleeve with a knowing look. She blinked towards the two of them, “I won’t keep you here anymore! Head back now!”
顾云兰无奈的看着她，她想多了。
Gu yunlan looked at her helplessly, she’s thinking too much.
“别忘了晚上见！人多才热闹！”紫罗兰朝她眼睛一眨，挥挥手，转身朝身后的巷子走去。
“Don’t forget about meeting tonight! The more people the better!” Zi Luolan blinked at her, waving her hands before turning around to walk down the road.
顾云兰无奈的朝三人一笑，这流言的速度啊！直到紫罗兰的身影消失，四人才坐上车子，往回赶。
Gu Yunlan smiled helplessly towards the three other, this rumor flies fast! When Zi Luolan’s figure finally disappeared from view, the four sat into the car and headed back.
把车从侧门开进大帅府停好，从车上下来，一股寒意袭来，顾云兰拢了拢身上的貉子大衣抬起头，刚好看到轩辕应满身是雪的走进府，身后是冷着一张脸的张紫妍。
They got out once the car entered the gates and parked to a stop. Feeling a chill, Gu Yunlan adjusted her coat and looked upwards just in time to see Xuanyuan Ying covered in snow walk in the gates. Zhang Ziyan followed behind with a cold face.
“哥！”轩辕梦一抬头，惊喜的发现自己的哥哥回来了。
“Big Bro!” Xuanyuan Meng lifted her chin, delighted to find out her big brother has returned.
“回来了？”轩辕应这句话是对着顾云兰说的。
“You’re back?” Xuanyuan Ying directed this question at Gu Yunlan.
顾云兰点点头，随即道，“刚刚碰到罗兰，她说晚上七点，宴请所有人去云似客来吃饭！为上次紫家的事情道歉！”
Gu Yunlan nodded her head, then said, “I bumped into Luolan just now. She said tonight at seven, she’ll invite everyone to eat at the Clouds Arrive As Guests for dinner! It’s to apologize for the mess at the Zi Family last time!”
她的话刚落音。张紫妍脸色变了变，冷冷的道，“我有事，先走了！”
As she said this, Zhang Ziyan’s face color changed, and coldly said, “I have matters to attend to, I’ll be leaving first!”
“什么态度么！”轩辕梦不屑的看着她远去的背影，随即对着几人，语气一变，“你们走时记得通知我，昨天没吃上可惜了，折腾这么累，阿沐！走！我们回去好好休息一下，晚上吃好吃的！”
“What kind of attitude is this!” Xuanyuan Meng watched her figure disappearing further away, then turned towards the group, her tone is completely different, “Remember to tell me when you’re going, it was too unfortunate I couldn’t go yesterday. All this was so tiring, A’Mu! Let’s go! Let’s rest properly when we get back, then we’ll eat delicious food at night!”
看到自家小姐转身离去，阿沐连忙朝几人点头，追了过去。
Seeing her family’s young imss turning to leave, A’ Mu immediately nodded her head and chased after her.
“不吃午饭么？”顾云兰一愣，朝两人的身影喊道。
“What about lunch?” Gu Yunlan blinked, shouting towards the two.
轩辕梦没有停住脚，远远的看到她挥动的手臂，顾云兰无奈的摇头，对身后的欣儿吩咐道，“准备些午食，你也休息去！”
Xuanyuan Meng didn’t stop walking, they could see her waving her hand from afar. Gu Yunlan shook her head helplessly, and instructed the nearby Xin’er, “Prepare some lunch, you should rest too!”
欣儿连忙点点头，转身离去。
Xin’er immediately nodded her head, then turned to leave.
“怎么了？”轩辕应一脸不解的看着她，貌似情绪有些不太对！
“What’s wrong?” Xuanyuan Ying looked at her uncomprehendingly, her mood doesn’t seem quite right!”
“进屋说吧！”顾云兰瞅了他一眼，脸有些冷，转身朝书房走去。
“Let’s talk inside!” Gu Yunlan shot him a look, her expression a bit cold, then turned to go towards the study room.
轩辕应无奈的摸摸鼻子跟了走进去，这个情绪是针对他的？他貌似一个上午都在外面，没惹她啊！
Xuanyuan Ying could only rub his nose and follow her inside. Was this temperament directed at him? But he was out the entire morning, he didn’t do anything to provoke her!
顾云兰往椅子上一坐，原本她的心情还好，安姣娜那事根本影响不了她的情绪，可是在看到轩辕应的那一刻，她起了情绪了。
Gu Yunlan sat down in a chair. Her mood was fine at first -An Jiaona can’t influence her- but seeing Xuanyuan Ying just now, her mood dimmed.
想到坊市的流言，想到将臣的振振有词，想到白琳珑的狠话，忽然间她觉得现在的安逸太短暂了，她必须加强实力，不为别的，就为自保，保护她和父亲，在乱世平安。
Thinking about the rumors floating around, about Jiang Chen’s threatening words, and about what Bai Linlong said, she suddenly felt as if the current peace will be too short-lived. She must get stronger. Not for anything else, but for protecting herself, her father, their peace in these warring times.
“怎么了？”轩辕应在她身边坐了下来，有些不解的看着她。
“What’s wrong?” Xuanyuan Ying sat down by her, looking at her confused.
“没事！”顾云兰回过神，摇摇头，看着关心看着自己的轩辕应，她的脑海里再次闪过坊市的流言，“我和欣儿搬出去吧？”
“Nothing!” Gu Yunlan snapped back to focus, shaking her head. Seeing Xuanyuan Ying looking at her worriedly, her mind flashed back to the rumors, “Can Xin’er and I move out?”
“你听到了流言？”轩辕应眉头皱起，他早上就有听说，只是他没当一回事，这种事，他嗤之以鼻。
“You heard the rumors?” Xuanyuan Ying’s eyebrows creased. He’s heard of it long ago, but he didn’t care about it too much. He looks down on things this.
“嗯！”顾云兰点点头，却沉默了……
“En!” Gu Yunlan nodded her head, then went silent…
轩辕应深吸了口气，她有所忌讳他也知道，只是这世道，她出去住，他还是有些放心不下，许久他才道，“你在乎这些名声？”
Xuanyuan Ying took a deep breath. He knew about her taboo topic, but in this world, he can’t help but worry if she went to live outside. He finally said after a while, “You care about reputation?”
顾云兰摇摇头往身后的椅靠上一靠，有些自嘲的笑了笑，“不怕，名声值不了多少钱！”
Gu Yunlan shook her head and leaned back on her chair, smiling mockingly to herself, “I don’t care, reputation isn’t worth much!”
名声顶多管一年，一年后的混战，谁会在乎那么多？前世那个时候的她，被父亲护得好好的，还带着杨锦和安姣娜，根本不知道这个世界的恐怖，直到后来半年的逃亡才知道世界的狰狞。
She’d only care about her reputation for a year at most, when war breaks out a year later, who would bother about that anymore? In her previous life, she was protected thoroughly by Father, Yangjin and An Jiaona, too. She had no idea about the horrors of this world. Only in the last half year did she learn about the terrors.
“那你还说搬出去？”轩辕应很是不解她的想法，他按了按太阳穴，“这个府里你住了那么多年，搬到别处估计不习惯，要不我们搬吧！”
“Then why do you want to move out still?” Xuanyuan Ying didn’t understand her thinking at all, he pressed on his temple, “You’ve lived here for so long, you’ll probably be uncomfortable with moving elsewhere. Why don’t we move out!”
“不用搬！刚才开玩笑的！”顾云兰摇摇头笑道，眸子却闪了闪，“对了！你还没说晚上去不去？”
“No need! I was just joking!” Gu Yunlan shook her head with a smile, yet her pupils still flashed, “That’s right! You haven’t said whether you’ll be going tonight?”
“你说去就去吧！这些俗事，我也站起身懒得管！轩辕应深深的看了她一眼，他知道她有心事了，唉！有什么时候真搞不懂他们的情绪。
“I’ll go because you said so! These mundane things, I’m too lazy to do anything beyond standing up!” Xuanyuan Ying looked at her meaningfully, he knew she was conflicted, ai! Sometimes he really doesn’t get their thinking.
“小姐！午饭好了，是在书房吃还是去饭厅？”欣儿的声音在门外传来。
“Young Miss! Lunch is ready, would you like to eat in the study room or the dining hall?” Xin’er’s voice came from outside.
“去饭厅，马上过去！”顾云兰站起身，对轩辕应道，“你去不去？”
“The dining hall, I’m on my way!” Gu Yunlan stood up, said to Xuanyuan Ying, “Are you going?”
轩辕应站起身，朝门口走去，“吱呀！”的开门声，顾云兰尾随他出了书房，顺带关上门。
Xuanyuan Ying stood up too, heading towards the door, creak! The door swung open as Gu Yunlan followed him out the study room, closing the door after them.
吃饭时，就他们两个，顾云兰纳闷的问着身后一动不动的欣儿，“欣儿，伊然他们什么时候走？”
It was only the two of them during the meal. Gu Yunlan asked Xin’er who stood behind unmovingly, “Xin’er, about when will they be leaving?”
“白公子说，天放晴就出发！”看到自家小姐的脸色好了些，欣儿才松口气，从杨家回来，小姐的情绪就不对，她不说，她们也不敢问，“我买了很多东西让白先生带给老爷和你师父！”
“Young Master Bai said they’ll leave once the sky clears up!” Seeing her Young Miss’s expression softened, Xin’er released a relieved sigh. Ever since returning from the Yang Household, the Young Miss’s mood wasn’t too good. She didn’t say anything, so they didn;t dare ask either, “I bought a lot of things for Young Master Bai to bring to Gramps and Master!”
“做的很好！”顾云兰点点头，低头却看到满碗的菜，她吃惊的看着轩辕应，“不是说吃多了杂物不好么？”
“Very good!” Gu Yunlan nodded her head. Then she looked down to see a bowl full of food from the dishes. She looked over at Xuanyuan Ying in astonishment, “Didn’t you say it’s not good to eat too much?”
“顾云兰！你给我出来！”屋外传来张紫妍愤怒的声音。
“Gu Yunlan! Come out here!” Zhang Ziwei’s furious shout echoed from the outside.
