Chapter 63: The Beauty Scheme
The train from Beiping East to TJ runs frequently, basically every two hours. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
This kind of transportation, which is not a new leaf or an old one, seems to be fast in the eyes of people, and it is much faster than a horse-drawn carriage.
And there are always things that are much faster than trains, such as military telegraphs and commercial telegraphs.
Yurong Zhou was supposed to return to Beiping early in the morning on the second day after the arms deal was completed to meet his old father in the Yu family's compound, but a whole day had passed, and Yurong Zhou had not returned.
A long or short dripping sound sounded in a two-story building in the backyard of the Yu family, but after a few minutes, a foreign girl wearing a modified cheongsam pushed the door and walked out, her appearance was very exquisite, the corners of her eyes were upturned with a charming taste, and her long pale blonde hair was coiled behind her head, and she only used two roses to modify some elegant temperament.
There is a pavilion near the water below the small building, and at this time, there is a quaint guqin sound coming through the lake, which sounds like people can't help but calm down.
Yu Luxi does not know the qin, after coming to China for many years, she has only learned how to drink a cup of tea and how to identify different types of Chinese, but she rarely has any insight in qinqi calligraphy and painting.
The Jade King's Mansion has always been a place full of calculations and murderous intentions, and she thought as she went down the stairs, the steps were thick mahogany, but such a luxurious place always made her feel unpleasant, because even if she didn't have to be frightened here, she had to be careful.
Before coming to the small lake, the sound of the piano was more advanced, through the surface of the lake, you could see someone in the small pavilion in the distance, the person was wearing a white robe, and his long black hair was loosely tied behind his head, and the wind was blowing, and the quiet and peaceful breath on the person's body seemed to be blown by the wind.
It is Lu Qi Nian, the most special person in the Jade King's Mansion.
She didn't know what kind of position Lu Qinian was in the Jade King's Mansion, Yunan seemed to trust him very much, and there were many things that he would ask him to do, in the Jade Mansion, he could also freely enter and exit the inner courtyard and the outer courtyard, and the people would call him "Lu Ye", however, he seemed to be under surveillance all the time, if it was said that it was frightening step by step, it was the most appropriate to compare Lu Qinian's performance in her eyes.
It's just that he is just such a beautiful man, noble, polite, and extraordinarily attractive, but he always feels that he rejects people thousands of miles away.
In the distance, she saw Lu Qinian stand up and waved at her.
Yu Luxi was stunned for a moment, and then walked quickly to the bridge, intending to go to the pavilion.
"Done?" Lu Qinian poured a cup of tea to Yu Luxi, the tea soup was very green, and it also had a little cardamom fragrance in it, "Taste it, you can't drink such tea." Lu Qinian picked up his cup first and took a sip.
Yu Luxi smelled the smell and suddenly thought of the tea she had drunk in Zong Wei's study two days ago, and the terrible smell made her feel sick when she thought about it now.
Now this tea in front of me smells very strange, and I don't know how to drink it.
She thought about it, but couldn't help but ask: "Lu, is this really a traditional Chinese way to make tea?" It's not the same as what I usually drink. Her expression was embarrassed.
When Lu Qinian heard this, he smiled slightly: "The current method of making tea comes from the Wei and Jin dynasties, and the scholars take thinness as the beauty, and this tea is also brewed for the sake of Qingcai, but before the Wei and Jin dynasties, taking the Tang Dynasty as an example, the tea would be beaten into the end, and condiments such as salt and mutton fat would be added to make a pot of tea." Seeing that Yu Luxi's expression became surprised, he compared a few small dishes placed on the tea table, and said, "China pays attention to the combination of yin and yang, all things have their own strengths, and they are integrated and connected, and this is the truth of making tea. ”
Yu Luxi looked at Lu Qinian with wide eyes and stunned, knowing that this person was a child of a well-educated family, but she didn't expect that when he talked about these obscure oriental cultures, she could listen to them.
I took a sip of the teacup, and the taste was still strange, but this time I didn't feel disgusting, but I wanted to taste it carefully.
"When I was a child, the adults in my family would talk about the tea ceremony, but I could rarely listen to it, and at this time, if I wanted to drink a cup of tea, I had to do it myself." Lu Qinian sighed, "If the heat is not enough, it is naturally a little worse." There was some sadness in his expression, and his eyes seemed to be looking into the distance, and inexplicably, Yu Luxi felt that she felt a little sorry for this man.
"Are you in the house today?"
"After Duangu Zhai's errand is done, there is nothing to do, I just want to come back and have a look." He paused and said, "The main thing is thank you." ”
"Thank me?" Yu Luxi was stunned for a moment, and then thought that Lu Qinian returned to the Jade Mansion two days ago, but Yu Nan wanted to punish him severely for some reason, and was shocked by the power behind him, not to mention, Lu Qi Nian was returned by her with information, how could Yu Nan be hurt again in vain? "Don't thank you for that, we're partners." Having said that, Yu Luxi felt that her heart was beating a little faster, and there was a hint of anticipation in her eyes.
She likes Lu Qi Nian, and she has long had a love for this humble and gentleman-like Chinese man.
"That's not going to work." Lu Qinian's smile was as warm as the morning sun, and he took a box out and handed it to Yu Luxi.
Inside the box is a set of clothes, a plain cheongsam, embroidered with silk flowers and birds with lifelike patterns.
This cheongsam is beautiful, with delicate embroidery and fine satin fabrics, and a sparkling ruby necklace at the neckline, which is very noble.
"I think you'll look good, ask the master and embroiderer in Suzhou to make it, the buckle is made of crystal, I remember you like that kind of shiny gadgets." Lu Qinian looked at Yu Luxi with gentle eyes, "Let's try it first, I'll find someone to change it if it's not suitable." ”
Yu Luxi was a little cramped, it was not the first time she received a gift from a man, but it was the first time she received a gift from Lu Qinian, during this period of time she did like the Chinese cheongsam, and this one was more delicate and noble than the ones she bought herself.
"Let's try it." The warm voice was in her ears, but she felt like a bewitcher. Yu Luxi took the box happily, said thank you, and turned around and walked to the small building where she lived, wanting to try on this dress.
And the black leather wallet she brought over was left on the tea table and was ignored by her.
Lu Qinian saw her go away, and couldn't help but hook the corners of her lips, the beauty plan, whether male or female, is nothing more than the other party's admiration.
The slender fingers took the black wallet and gently opened it, and inside was a telegram written in Russian, which was estimated to be untouchable, but coincidentally, he did not learn this awkward language when he was a child.
