Chapter 199: The Four Seasons Are Like Spring
/p> When Shen Xu greeted him out of the gate, he called Zhu Gaoxu very surprised, and when he saw her with his own eyes, he found that it was not the same as he imagined. γFengyun Reading Network. γ
She is really white and beautiful, wearing a dark cyan skirt and dark clothes to make her skin more snow-white, but she is a little dignified. Probably because ancient and modern formal wear is mostly dark.
Shen Xu's figure is tall and slender, but he looks round and smooth everywhere. a round and smooth forehead, large round eyes under single eyelids and long eyelashes; is also the well-cut Luo skirt, the silk is very soft and close to the body, showing that the shoulders are round and small, and the chest line is round and full.
Zhu Gaoxu listened to Hou Hai's report, and thought that this Shen Xu was a bewitching woman with heavy makeup and jewelry, but she didn't expect her to look like this.
At first glance, there are almost only two colors of blue and white on her body, which looks very simple, and she only applies light makeup on her face, without traces, and she really can't see it if she doesn't look closely; The skirt she wore outside was of the highest silk, faintly shiny, but there was no pattern at all.
Rao is like this, Shen Xu's dress does not look plain at all. It turned out that her liner had a little red and gold thread on her collar; The only piece of jewelry, a hairpin with gold beads on his jet-black hair, and bright colors of ruby and gold. There are only these two embellishments, but if they are just right, a little more will look too bright, and a little less will be too plain.
Shen Xu's clothes also covered his body tightly, and the open collar of the lining had reached below the collarbone. But somehow, she is very sexy, and she really doesn't have to show her flesh when she is very sexy, Shen Xu's Luo skirt just fits in all parts, and the material is soft, and it is enough to line out the natural curvaceous outline of the body. The only exposed clavicle has jade white skin and elegant shape, which makes her weak and plump muscles reveal a trace of bony beauty.
Her dark dress, plain and tightly wrapped, and dignified posture did look like a pure and clean widow at first glance, but after a closer look, I found that it was not like that at all!
Shen Xu should be older than Zhu Gaoxu, maybe in his twenties, leading an eleven or twelve-year-old girl to Zhu Gaoxu. The smooth face was very white, there was a clear smile in the clear eyes, and there was a childish and lovely little girl in the lead, so Shen Xu had a sense of virginity under his mature demeanor and attractive figure, which was really very special.
"The concubine Shen Xu welcomes His Royal Highness the King of Han. His Royal Highness the King of Han came and made the Shen family's humble house shine. Shen Xu stepped forward and said generously.
Her posture is very stable, her voice is round, and there is no trace of sounding in the Nanjing accent, and she looks very confident and calm in front of the prince.
Of course, Zhu Gaoxu didn't want to use his power to oppress people, in that case, he would simply fall to the ground, so he calmed down and hugged his fists and said, "It's bothering." β
"His Royal Highness the King of Han, please." Shen Xu's upper body leaned forward slightly, "The concubine is leading the way as His Royal Highness the King of Han." β
Zhu Gaoxu and the others followed her and walked into the door from the soft blanket, which had a winding corridor. Walking up the corridor, there is a spotless wooden plank under your feet, and the environment is very quiet and elegant.
Through the corridor, Zhu Gaoxu found that the construction pattern of this Shen Mansion was completely different from that of ordinary mansions. It is not an ordinary courtyard pattern, how is it planned, I don't know the true face in "Lushan", Zhu Gaoxu didn't understand it for a while.
Not far from the gate, there is a lake! Generally, landscape gardens are in the backyard, and a lake in the front yard is indeed unseen and unheard of.
Shen Xu's words were not much, and she still said a few words from time to time while walking, she turned her head slightly and said, "Your Highness is used to the hot and cold weather in Yunnan?" β
"Fortunately, doesn't it mean that Kunming is like spring all year round?" Zhu Gaoxu said.
are all homely words, no more, no less, neither snubbing Zhu Gaoxu, nor chattering and excited, making him very relaxed and comfortable.
Zhu Gaoxu saw that the skin exposed on Shen Xu's neck was very white, and thought to himself that this woman must have lived in Yunnan, and the ultraviolet rays were very strong. If you want to develop a complexion like Shen Xu's, I'm afraid there is only one way not to go out to bask in the sun.
Soon Shen Xu took Zhu Gaoxu and the others to a building, located on the south shore of the lake. The building is huge, and it's weird to say it's a pavilion, but it's too big. It is said that it is not a pavilion, but it is domed and airy on all sides; The tiled roof is supported by pillars, and the surrounding area is a large wooden waist wall, and everything inside is clearly visible.
Zhu Gaoxu suddenly remembered that the houses where some tropical tribes in Southeast Asia lived were a bit like the shape of this building. It is really a collection of Central Plains architecture and exotic style.
Sure enough, after walking in, Zhu Gaoxu saw all kinds of decorations of exotic cultures on a wall, including beast totems, wooden murals, naked Buddha statues of southern countries, as well as jade and fans, which are completely not confined to the traditional things of the Central Plains.
This scene gave Zhu Gaoxu an impression, as if this Shen Xu was not a widow who only cared about piston sports every day, but he had a wide range of visions and interests.
The coffee table placed in the room is an antique Middle-earth style, and Shen Xu invited Zhu Gaoxu to sit on the upper seat, and he accompanied him on the side; Wang Gui stood behind Zhu Gaoxu. After a while, a middle-aged woman in a plain white dress came up to make tea.
After Shen Xu sat down, he smiled and looked sideways slightly, glancing at the entourage around the house and the dozen or so people who followed Zhu Gaoxu in. They were all young men, and although they were wearing cloth clothes, they could see the weapons in their arms.
The tall men were all well-trained and guarded by the royal palace, and they walked around slowly without saying a word. The formation seems to be random, but they are staggered in all directions, walking relative to each other and passing by their shoulders, then switching positions, their eyes carefully observing the movement near and far at any time.
Suddenly, an unknown waterfowl chirped on the lake, which immediately attracted more than a dozen men to glance sideways.
It's so quiet that even the sound of a bird is unusual. A quiet and elegant place, shrouded in a touch of tension.
Shen Xu said: "Xianweng was once convicted, and when he came to Yunnan, someone persuaded him to change his name and surname, but Xianweng was not afraid of shadows, and the blessing and misfortune were just from the sky. β
Zhu Gaoxu nodded solemnly and said: "If you don't change your surname, you don't change your name, the Shen family is really generous." β
Shen Xu bowed slightly and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for your kind words." When His Royal Highness King Han first came to Yunnan Mansion, the concubine was indeed a little worried. Because His Highness is famous, he is the king of soldiers; If right and wrong are judged by force, then no amount of reason can be explained. Unexpectedly, I was fortunate to see His Royal Highness himself, but I saw that His Royal Highness was polite and courteous, gentle and humble, and gentlemanly, and the concubine was too worried. β
Zhu Gaoxu smiled disappreciably, and said in his heart: Did she put a high hat on me first, and wanted me to take it by force without pulling my face? Shen Xu's family is really worried, Zhu Gaoxu is a prince and he is not short of money, if he can buy something, why grab it?
He then spoke: "The princess has been sick for nearly a month, and a miracle doctor surnamed Chen in Yunnan Mansion said that he wanted a thousand years of Korean ginseng to recuperate. I heard that there was a pair in the Shen Mansion, so I first brought goods worth five hundred taels of gold as a deposit, and if it was not enough, I would make up for it. Pay off Mrs. Shen's sale. β
Zhu Gaoxu obviously expressed great sincerity. Five hundred taels of gold, it can be worth five or six million yuan in the future, and he also left a message that the price can be increased.
At this moment, the woman next to her made tea and filled two small cups of purple sand respectively. Shen Xu picked up a small cup and poured a little into the other cup, she handed the cup up with both hands, and said, "Your Highness, don't worry, please drink tea." This is Yunnan ripe tea, which has the effect of clearing the fire. β
Zhu Gaoxu carefully took the teacup, held it with two fingers, and did not touch Shen Xu's hand, he glanced at the other cup quietly, and said in his heart: I just came to Yunnan to have no grievances with you, I don't believe that you will poison Lao Tzu when you meet!
He thought about it and took a sip, but the cup was so small that it was gone. Seeing this, Shen Xu smiled slightly, lifted the purple clay pot with his own hands, and poured another one for Zhu Gaoxu.
At this time, she also picked up the other cup, put it to her mouth and nose and sniffed it gently, and took a sip and put it in her mouth. She glanced slightly sideways at the woman making tea, and she bent her knees and walked away.
After tasting a sip of tea, Shen Xu said slowly: "The concubine does have a pair of thousand-year-old Korean ginseng, but a few years ago, her husband was seriously ill and took a ginseng in medicine, and now there is only one plant left." The Shen family is in business, but they don't sell everything, this is not for sale. β
Zhu Gaoxu was stunned.
Shen Xu glanced at him, and actually showed a playful smile, "But the concubine body can be given to His Royal Highness the King of Han." β
Zhu Gaoxu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "Then what's so embarrassing?" β
Shen Xu said: "His Royal Highness Weifu personally came to the door, giving the Shen family such a big face, is it not worth a ginseng?" β
One sentence actually stopped Zhu Gaoxu, and he couldn't pretend to be polite anymore.
Shen Xu said with a hint of joke: "If His Royal Highness looks down on the meeting gift, then the concubine body will have to be taken back." β
This person who lives in Yunnan really has a bit of humor, Zhu Gaoxu immediately hugged his fists and said: "In this case, it is better to be respectful than to obey your fate, thank you." He thought about it and said very sensibly: "This can be regarded as a favor I owe Mrs. Shen, and if I can use it in the future, I can send someone to say it." β
His Highness smiled. His Royal Highness went out of the town of Yunnan and worked hard for big things, how could he dare to work for the small things of the concubine's body? Shen Xu said.
At this time, the woman who was making tea just now came up with a wooden box, and Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help but look sideways. Saying that those are useless is not the point of this trip, he just wants 1,000-year-old Korean ginseng.
