Chapter 126: Hand and Eye to the Sky White Boy
Lu Yunxi's body was already caused by weakness, and with a good doctor like Si Tingyan by her side for diagnosis and treatment, it didn't take long for her body to gradually recover, and the injuries on her face were almost healed.
It's just that this successive tosses, coupled with Qing'er's death, has hit Lu Yunxi really hard, she is empty inside, and she always feels physically exhausted.
I thought that with the name of the Dye Xi Pavilion as a guarantee, and this scented candle was appreciated by the Queen Mother, it should not be difficult to sell it at a good price.
Who knows, a whole week has passed, and the scented candle has not been sold out as a new product like before, but is still unsalable in the store, from the original price of five taels of silver, to now discounted at three taels of silver, but still few people care.
Not only that, these days, except for some nobles in the capital who came to inquire about the price of scented candles, even the three treasures of the Dyeing Xi Pavilion were not cared for.
At first, the shopkeeper thought it was just a temporary problem, but it was because his promotion was not in place.
However, a full seven days have passed, and the business of Dyeing Xi Pavilion has not improved at all, and the shopkeeper became anxious and told Lu Yunxi about this matter as it was.
Lu Yunxi held the sick body, sat on the couch, and after listening to the shopkeeper's words, he couldn't help coughing twice, and a feeling of anxiety surged in his heart.
"How so?"
Lu Yunxi frowned, staring at the red tent in front of him with a pair of eyes, his mind was spinning rapidly, but he still couldn't think of the reason.
"Miss......"
Seeing this, the shopkeeper leaned forward a little, put the teacup in his hand aside, glanced at Lu Yunxi's side face, and said softly, "The business of Rouge Fang has suddenly improved these days. I specially sent someone to inquire, and I heard that there was a new shopkeeper from Rouge Fang. The shopkeeper's surname is Bai. ”
"Surname Bai?"
Could it be that the white prince was released? Or did Jing Zhaoyin confiscate him at all!
Lu Yunxi suddenly had doubts in her heart, but she was even more curious about the people behind Bai Gongzi.
The handkerchief in her hand hung to the side, and a pair of eyes looked at the shopkeeper vigilantly, and asked tentatively, "But that white boy?"
The shopkeeper lowered his head, lowered his eyelids, pursed his lower lip, and shook his head gently, "Since he took over the Rouge Workshop, he has not appeared in public." It's just that the business of this rouge shop has always been bad in the past, and the business of the Dyeing Xi Pavilion has been so cold these days, but the rouge shop is rubbing shoulders, and the mystery of this is inevitably suspicious. ”
Lu Yunxi didn't answer, just pursed her lower lip and nodded slightly, and gently licked the corners of her chapped lips.
She was about to discuss countermeasures with the shopkeeper, but saw the girl Hongya walking into the house quickly.
Since Qing'er passed away, Lu Yunxi temporarily kept Hongya by her side and did some chores.
"Miss, there's a white boy from outside who wants to see you. "[Didn't you put your back in, how did you get out?]
Hong Aya bowed slightly to the shopkeeper and Lu Yunxi, and said softly.
Lu Yunxi and the shopkeeper looked at each other, and both of them saw a hint of surprise in each other's eyes.
"Miss, in that case, I'll go back first. ”
The shopkeeper said goodbye and was led out of the back door by Red Aya.
After a while, I saw that the white boy was wearing a blue and white regular clothes, a pair of brown Tengyun boots under his feet, and a lacquered wood red box in his hand, and slowly walked in from the outside of the house.
When he saw the appearance of the person who came, Lu Yunxi's heart also sank.
It was some time ago, the white boy who was in court with himself!
Lu Yunxi propped his hands behind him, sat up straight, his eyes slightly frowned, staring at Bai Gongzi's eyes.
This white boy had an indifferent smile on his face, but his eyes were full of cunning.
The corners of his mouth raised slightly, slowly walked into the room, bowed to Lu Yunxi, and without waiting for Lu Yunxi to answer, he smiled indifferently, found a chair and sat down, and put the box in his hand on the table on the side.
Bai Gongzi turned his head away, stared at Lu Yunxi with cold eyes, "Miss Lu didn't expect it to be me, right?"
Lu Yunxi glanced Bai Gongzi up and down, raised the corners of his lips, squeezed out a slightly indifferent smile, the corners of his eyebrows twitched one or two, and deliberately straightened his body to make himself not look too embarrassed, "Bai Gongzi, don't come to harm." ”
"Miss Lu pretended to be a maid in the medical hall that day, so I made a big mistake, did you think that there would be today?"
Before Bai Gongzi's words fell, the smile on his face tightened little by little, pursed his lower lip, lifted the robe in front of him, cocked his legs, and stared at Lu Yunxi with interest.
Lu Yunxi lowered her eyelids, lowered her head gently, put her two hands in front of her, and her fingertips stirred back and forth, "It seems that the new Bai shopkeeper from Rouge Fang is Bai Gongzi." Unexpectedly, in just a few days, Bai Gongzi not only came out of Jing Zhaoyin, but also sat on the position of the shopkeeper of the Rouge Workshop in such a grand manner. I don't know, if Lord Jing Zhaoyin finds out, how will he react?"
As he spoke, Lu Yunxi raised his head, and his gaze shot straight into Bai Gongzi's eyes like an arrow.
Jing Zhaoyin's reaction that day already showed that there was a high-ranking person behind this white prince to support him.
It's just that at the foot of this imperial city, no matter what kind of powerful person he is, he will never act so arrogantly.
It's only been less than a month, and Bai Gongzi can come and go freely in the capital, and he has become a shopkeeper again.
If the person behind him is not in a high position and power, he is sure enough that he will not be detected.
Who could such a person be?
Bai Gongzi stared at Lu Yunxi's eyes, put his hands lightly in front of him, and gently rubbed the thumb and index finger of his right hand for one or two, and then continued, "Miss Lu doesn't have to be tempted. I dare to come to see you today, because I have made all the preparations. There is a saying, I would like to advise Miss Lu. ”
Bai Gongzi stood up as he spoke, the corners of his mouth still raised, and the smile on his face was still that indifferent but cunning.
He took a few steps to the side of the couch and stood on one side, condescending, staring at Lu Yunxi with cold eyes, "Miss Lu, don't try to fight with me for anything." It's just that you're trying to do it, and I'm not standing here unscathed?"
After speaking, Bai Gongzi didn't care about Lu Yunxi's answer, and turned around to leave.
He walked to the table and stopped, glanced at the red lacquered wooden box that he had brought in, raised his hand and stretched out a finger, picked up the lid of the box at will, don't look over, and looked at Lu Yunxi coldly, "This is the jade dew paste that my rouge workshop has just made in the Ministry of Industry, as well as lipstick and honey, and I specially brought it today to show Miss Lu, which is also a little bit of my heart." By the way, I also reminded Miss Lu that those things in the Dyeing Tide Pavilion can no longer be sold in the future. Otherwise, just wait for the shop to be seized. ”
