Chang’an’s First Beauty - Chapter 22
After a long night.
When Shen Zhen woke up, the nausea in his stomach finally subsided.
She finally came alive.
Tangyue waited on Shen Zhen to wash and dress up, and today she specially combed her in a womanish bun, with her white neck exposed, which added a bit of the charm of a young woman.
Shen Zhenti skirted downstairs and walked halfway, just in time to see Lu Yan talking to the girl in the inn.
Today, he is wearing a long twill with hidden blue and dark gold patterns and a jade crown on his head. Without the color of black and black, he really looks a little less deserted.
The girl bent over and poured him a cup of tea.
Lu Yan had deep eyes and a soft tone, “Thank you Ms. Zhuang.” This girl was called Zhuang Yue.
When he saw this, Zhuang Yue’s face immediately turned red, “Master Wei is a guest, so don’t be so polite.”
Lu Yan curled the corners of his lips, stared down at the tea cup in his hand, shook it gently, and took a sip.
After a while, Zhuang Yue said, “Master Wei asked about the jewelry store, is he going to buy some things for Miss Qin?”
Qin Lao is the pseudonym of Shen Zhen.
“Exactly.”
Zhuang Yue raised his hand to close the shredded hair from her temples, and said softly, “Ms. Qin is really a blessed person to be saved by you.” After a pause, he said, “If that’s not the case, wait for Ms. Qin later. Come down, Yueer will show you a way?”
Hearing this, Lu Yan put down the tea cup and said, “If you are a newcomer, if you don’t understand it, you will have trouble.”
The shopkeeper on the side, Zhuang Yue’s mother, answered at this moment, “Prince Wei is very polite, but it’s just a matter of effort. If you want to talk about pearl hairpins, the first class, it’s the best we can do at Chunli Pavilion in Yangzhou. …”
At the corner of the stairs, Shen Zhen listened to their conversations, knowing that he had already explained his identity.
She remembered what he had ordered, coughed lightly, and walked out.
Zhuang Yue looked back–
When she heard the voice, she guessed that it was the girl Qin who had come down, and was about to see what kind of appearance she looked like, how much worse she was, and Shen Zhen appeared in front of her.
God, what kind of fairy jade is this?
Zhuang Yue’s eyes widened, and she was aphasic for a moment.
I have to say that Shen Zhen has never lost in terms of beauty.
Her pupils are clear, like a clear spring on a stone, which is pitiful, but if you stare at her for a while, you will find that there are still a few feminine charms hidden in the waves of eyes.
A pair of eyes are so beautiful, who would dare to give birth to a mind that is comparable to that of one?
Mother and daughter, their expressions were one by one and the other embarrassed.
There are beauties and slender horses in Yangzhou. They never expected that Shen Zhen could be so beautiful.
Shen Zhen walked to Lu Yan’s side and said in a low voice: “It’s all my fault that Lao’er got up a little late, I told him to wait a long time.” Don’t say, Shen Zhen is now very grateful for the name Qin Lao, these two words are for her. It’s like a fig leaf.
With eyes facing each other, Lu Yan had a charming smile in his eyes.
Such affectionate gaze can not help changing his appearance. Without the indifference and self-sufficiency, he seems to have become Wei Jia Wei Xun, a rich boy who does not know the suffering of the world.
“It’s okay to wait a little longer.” He looked at her.
If it hadn’t been for Shen Zhen to know his temper, she would even think that the person in front of her was really a gentle-tempered man.
After a while, Zhuang Yue took them out of the inn and walked into the bustling street market.
Yangzhou has been rich since ancient times, and this is true.
They are in Luocheng, where there are countless Qionglou Yuyu. There are various shops, including wine shops, medicine shops, good cloth shops, and hot pastry shops.
The streets are bustling with hustle and bustle.
Although its prosperous level cannot be compared with Chang’an, it is not inferior to Luoyang and other places.
That is, within the distance of a stick of incense, Shen Zhen saw a black lacquer and gold plaque with three large characters-Chunli Pavilion clearly written on it.
Before entering the door, Ms. Zhuang deliberately said in a low voice, “This Chunli Pavilion’s jewelry is good, but it is indeed the most expensive.”
As soon as the words fell, the shopkeeper of Chunli Pavilion raised his head and glanced at them, and then immediately bowed out to greet them: “Look at the guest officer?”
“Let’s go.” Lu Yan said.
Inside the house, Shen Zhen listened to the shopkeeper’s endless chatter and introduced, “These pearl hairpins at the bottom are all from the Western Regions, and they are from a long distance. The jade hairpins and flower hairpins on this floor are from the capital. The top ears and Yingluo are local crafts in Yangzhou. I wonder which girl likes?”
The dazzling array of jewellery is indeed dazzling.
If Shen Zhen is a girl who has never seen the world, I am afraid that she will be amazed, but she is not. Recalling that a few months ago, she was still the daughter of the Yunyang Houfu.
Since childhood, parents have been used to it, and grandmother is in pain, and even the two sisters are responsible for her. She has the most monthly money in the family.
The shopkeepers of those jewelry shops in West City, Chang’an, all smiled when they saw her.
After a while, Shen Zhen picked a jade earring, took a look at the sunlight outside, and said: “I’m watching, this is good.”
As soon as Shen Zhen’s actions were taken, the shopkeeper’s attitude was immediately overwhelming. He who can pick out the best from so many jewellery at a glance must be an expert.
The shopkeeper quickly turned around and took out a dark purple box from under the cabinet.
The box character slowly opened, and the various jade listed in this forest were not vulgar at a glance. Although they were all emeralds, the heads of water were very different.
Shen Zhen was worried about which one to pick, and Lu Yan’s hand fell on her waist.
A heavy voice spread over her head, “You like it again?”
Shen Zhen’s scalp was numb by his tone, so he hurriedly took two of them. He turned around and said: “I like all concubines, but I don’t know which one to choose. The son thinks which one is better?”
Although Shen Zhen knew that Lu Yan would give money to reveal his wealth, he didn’t expect that he would pick up the entire box character, walked to the shopkeeper, and said, “Wrap all these things.”
As soon as he said this, Shen Zhen was dumbfounded, and even the tips of her hair became stiff.
She couldn’t help sighing: My lord, your behavior is that even the dullest child in the capital is shameless compared to you.
Shen Zhen walked to him and squeezed his arm, seeming to imply that he can’t spend money like this…
However, Lu Yan turned a deaf ear to it and just spent six hundred guan.
Six hundred guan, can buy a house.
When she came out, Shen Zhen was still calm, but Zhuang Yue’s eyes on Lu Yan had already changed.
There is no other reason. Zhuang Yue lost his father when he was young, his mother was a widow, and a younger brother. The whole family depended on the inn to support him. Although looking at the inn’s business is pretty good, Yangzhou’s taxation has been getting higher and higher recently, and the dealer’s life has been particularly difficult.
If she had just looked at Shen Zhen’s gaze and still had a trace of disdain, then at this moment, she would have become envious.
After shopping, they went to a restaurant nearby.
Not surprisingly, Lu Yan ordered another table of delicacies.
Due to the rule of not eating and sleeping, Lu Yan said casually, “Miss Zhuang knows, what houses are there in Yangzhou?”
Zhuang Yue raised her eyebrows and said, “Is Mr. Wei going to set up a house in Yangzhou?”
Lu Yan smiled and said: “It is exactly that the three generations of the Wei family were in the silk business. Seeing that Yangzhou is so rich, I deliberately set up a few shops here, and by the way I have to buy a house to settle down.”
Zhuang Yue thought about what he said, and then said: “With the wealth of Mr. Wei, the ordinary house is not to be looked down upon. I only know that the house in Wulipu, Yangzhou is the most elegant. There is a water pavilion that spans across The small river is surrounded by shrubs and the scenery is beautiful. Yangzhou’s dignitaries live there.”
Lu Yan clicked on the table with his index finger, and said, “Can Miss Zhuang give me some guidance?”
Zhuang Yue stopped talking for a while, and said, “It’s a bit late today. If Mr. Wei is not in a hurry, what about tomorrow?”
Lu Yan nodded and said yes.
After coming out of the restaurant, Zhuang Yue went back to the inn first.
In this way, Jingzhou came to a wealthy businessman, and the news that he wanted to settle down in Yangzhou City spread secretly.
This Xiang Lu Yan took Shen Zhen to visit the powder shop, cloth shop and so on. When he returned to the inn, it was already evening.
As the night darkened, the lights around the inn were already lit, the candles were swaying with the wind, and the shadows of the lights on the ground were unpredictable.
At this time, there were a few brawny men who were drinking in the inn.
They looked like ordinary people in burlap clothes, but they looked at Shen Zhen and Lu Yan back and forth, but they were definitely not kind.
Although Shen Zhen has experienced a lot of things recently, in the final analysis, she is still a girl who has been in deep boudoir for a long time.
The stabbing gaze behind her really made her feel uneasy.
She followed Lu Yan, went up the stairs, walked across the corridor, and entered the guest room.
After walking for a whole day, Shen Zhen was already exhausted to the extreme. When she suddenly saw such a group of people, her sleepiness disappeared instantly.
Shen Zhen raised his eyes to observe Lu Yan, only to see that he had already removed the disguise of the day, and for a while, he changed back to the solemn look of Master Lu.
Shen Zhen couldn’t help but admire the switching so easily.
The two of them sat quietly for a while before they heard the sound of footsteps.
Shen Zhen suddenly understood why he had to take Zhuang Yue to shop with him today, and why he deliberately revealed that he was going to buy a house.
He was waiting for the banker’s mother and daughter to release the news, and then waiting for someone to come.
Looking at the figure outside the window, Lu Yan couldn’t help his eyes sinking.
He didn’t expect it wrong.
Yangzhou City was really more complicated than he thought.
He came to Yangzhou with a full budget, but only a day’s effort. A little high-profile, some people can’t sit still.
The footsteps stopped at the door for a long time, and Shen Zhen’s heart couldn’t help being hung up.
She moved a step towards him, took his hand, and whispered, “Master.”
The man’s eyebrows raised slightly.
Shen Zhen sensibly hooked his neck with his hand. What this means is obvious.
Lu Banyan turned around, clasped her neck with his backhand, and kissed the corner of her lips.
Lu Yan deliberately kissed for a long time, and after being obsessed with it, Shen Zhen found that it was difficult to breathe. The world was spinning around, and she could not help but let out a few particularly seductive tremors as she pulled his shirt.
After a long while, he was just enough to make her breathe.
He looked down at her.
She saw her starry eyes dim, her clothes half untied, and the waves rippling, completely soft in his arms.
Seeing this, Lu Yan’s throat tightened, his eyes darkened and deep.
The jade hook on the couch shook, and the man curtains on both sides fell slowly.
The play is for others to see, but the emotion is real.
The author has something to say: Mr. Lu really likes to spend money.
