The old Marquis of Boye is the mainstay of the Yun Dynasty, he has gone through the ups and downs of three dynasties, and the saint has always been undecided. Because of this, the mansion of the Marquis of Boye is also ranked among the most powerful dogs in the capital, and it is built in a quiet place in the middle of the noise.

Lu Nianjin walked along the alley, and it didn't take long to reach a street that specializes in pen, ink, paper and inkstone. She was not interested in any of this, so she did not go in to look at it, but just kept walking.

Huanxi and Chen Fu were by her side, occasionally saying a few words to please her, and she would also respond, but she always had a bit of a trance on her face.

When Yanping Road was about to come to an end, Chen Fu, who had fallen behind, suddenly looked at the door of an ink shop and stopped.

Huanxi was the first to notice that something was wrong, she stopped, turned around and asked, "Brother Chen, why don't you leave?" ”

Chen Fu retracted his gaze, a smile appeared on his face, and he suppressed his emotions and explained, "It's nothing, I just suddenly remembered that the ink at home was running out." ”

"Then go in and buy some!" Huanxi proposed.

Lu Nianjin didn't care, she listened to Huanxi's words, and was about to nod her head, and went in with the two of them to have a look, but a moment ago, she saw Chen Fu waving his hand at her imperceptibly, and at the same time, she said to Huanxi, "Ink is not easy to bring, let's wait until I buy something else!" ”

Huanxi didn't doubt him, nodded with a smile, and continued to walk forward.

Lu Nianjin glanced at Chen Fu again suspiciously, not knowing what medicine he was selling in his gourd.

Soon, the three of them walked to the end of Yanping Road and turned into another street.

It was also at this time that Chen Fu took two steps forward, approached Lu Nianjin, and said in a low voice, "Girl, the slave just saw the merchant who sold the peacock hairpin to the slave, and he entered the auspicious ink workshop. ”

Jixiang Ink Workshop is the ink shop that Chen Fu stopped just now.

When Lu Nianjin heard the peacock hairpin, his brows furrowed suddenly, he pondered for a moment, looked at him seriously and said, "You didn't say it until now, aren't you afraid that person just passed by the ink shop and went in to hang out?" ”

"No!" Chen Fu had a calm face and said firmly, "The slave often walks outside, and it can be seen that he is extremely familiar with the guys in the shop, and he must have known each other for a long time, or he was originally a guy in the ink shop!" ”

"Then do you know who the owner of that auspicious ink shop is?"

Chen Fu shook his head, "When the slave was in the Chengguo Mansion, he was only responsible for the purchase of flowers and trees in the outer courtyard, and the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone were used in the study, and the nephew of the chief housekeeper was responsible for it, and the slave was not familiar with Yanping Road. ”

"Since you're not familiar with it, let's check it." Lu Nianjin said, took out a few silver tickets from his sleeve, and handed them to him.

Chen Fu took the silver ticket, glanced at it, it was all a hundred taels of denomination, and said busily, "Girl, just to hear a message, I don't need so much." ”

Lu Nianjin saw him hand the silver ticket back, but waved his hand and said, "As long as you can get useful information, it doesn't hurt to loosen your hands a little outside, if there is any leftover, you don't have to give it to me, just keep it for emergencies." ”

"Yes, girl." Chen Fu saw that Lu Nianjin really didn't care about the hundreds of taels of silver tickets, so he folded them up and put them into his sleeve, arched his hand, and then turned around and walked in the direction of Yanping Road.

"Girl, where are we going now?" After Chen Fu left, Huanxi looked at Lu Nianjin and asked.

Lu Nianjin thought for a while, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Do you know where there is a silk village near here?" ”

Huanxi was puzzled, "What are you going to do in Silk Village?" ”

Lu Nianjin smiled, "There are two happy events going to be held in the house recently, and I want to buy some good silk for the two brides." ”

"The Prince's Mansion is going to hold two happy events?" Huanxi looked dazed, "Who is going to get married?" Why didn't the slave hear the news? ”

"It's Begonia and Ringo." Lu Nianjin said.

Begonia's belly has been three months old, and if it drags on, once it is pregnant, she can only beat the child out, and she and Lin Yi must get married as soon as possible.

"Begonia and Ringo, this is one, but what about the other?"

"You really don't know?" Lu Nianjin looked at her with a narrow smile in his eyes.

Huanxi was looked at like this by her own girl for a while, and then she blushed and whispered, "Girl, don't talk about it, who said that the slave is going to marry Chen Fu!" ”

Lu Nianjin looked at her, and the smile in his eyes deepened, "Yes, did you say that you wanted to marry Chen Fu, it was Chen Fu who had you in his heart, and you had to do it, so he asked me to marry you again and again, but I was really annoyed by him, so I agreed to him!" ”

"Girl!" Huanxi listened to Lu Nianjin talk about Chen Fu's deep affection for her, the red clouds on her face dispersed a little more, she withdrew her hand and shyly grabbed the hem of her clothes.

"Alright, let's go." Lu Nianjin reminded her with a smile.

Huanxi let out a low "um" and led her in the direction of the silk village.

Two quarters of an hour later, the two stopped outside a silk village called Ruifuxiang, Huanxi looked at the simple and atmospheric signboard outside the shop, and explained to Lu Nianjin, "Girl, this Ruifuxiang is the most well-known silk shop in Beijing by word of mouth, especially the various red satin from his family, Zhenghong, vermilion, water red, silver red, all red is very good-looking." ”

"If you like it, let's do it!" Lu Nianjin said, and walked inside.

"I wonder what the girl wants?" As soon as she entered the door, a guy greeted her, and asked politely with a kind smile.

Lu Nianjin nodded slightly at the guy, then turned his gaze to Huanxi, and said, "Go and see, what kind of satin you like, let people wrap it, and finally prepare a copy for Begonia compared to yours." ”

Huanxi heard her girl say this, agreed, and walked towards the counter happily.

Lu Nianjin went to the tea room on the second floor, slowly sipped the tea, looked at the scenery on the street by the way, and thought about something......

When she was thinking about it, there was suddenly a little shadow in front of her, she frowned slightly and looked up, only to see a girl standing in front of her in blue, with a snow-white complexion and an extremely cold temperament.

"The girl is polite. My maid is picking satin downstairs, can I sit here for a while? The girl's voice was like jade, and she asked politely and detachedly.

Lu Nianjin smiled faintly, "Naturally." With that, he turned his head to look out the window.

The woman in blue sat down proudly, took a sip of the fragrant tea in front of her, and after a slight pause, she also looked out the window, but she was actually looking at Lu Nianjin's side face.

"You know me?" Lu Nianjin's five senses have always been keen, and feeling her scrutiny, she suddenly turned her head, looked at her and asked suspiciously.

The woman in blue retracted her gaze, shook her head lightly, and said, "I don't know the girl, but I think the girl looks very similar to someone I've seen." ”

"Really?" Lu Nianjin asked rhetorically.

The woman in blue changed the topic, "Looking at the girl's temperament and conversation, she must also be from a noble family, I don't know who your family is?" ”

Lu Nianjin listened to her inquiry, but did not answer her question, but raised her lips and asked, "Before asking others, shouldn't the girl report to her home first?" ”

The girl in blue was slightly stunned, then lifted her lips and said clearly, "It's not mine, I forgot to talk about myself first." My father's surname is Meng, and now I am the eldest daughter in the family, and my name is Qingting. ”

Meng Qingting!

These three words exploded in Lu Nianjin's ears like thunder.

Her hand hidden in her sleeve clenched.

After a long time, she looked at Meng Qingting and said with a slight bow, "It turned out to be Miss Meng." ”

Meng Qingting smiled and nodded, like the first budding white plum blossom in early winter, paused slightly, and asked, "Since my sister knows me, I should also be familiar with my sister's house, I don't know who ......your father is, sister."

Lu Nianjin listened to Meng Qingting's roundabout inquiring about her identity, his eyes flashed, but he deliberately said, "My father is low-key and loves the people like a son, and he has always disliked his children to use his name to be domineering outside, so I also ask Miss Meng to forgive me for the inconvenience of telling me." ”

Meng Qingting: "......"

She frowned slightly, isn't the rumored Lu Nianjin the most kind and gentle? How can you treat her today, but she is so cold and tough, and she is ruthless.

It's a pity that she has other plans in her heart, and now is not the time to offend her. After thinking about it again, she still followed her and said, "It's me who asked more, don't blame my sister." ”

Lu Nianjin didn't make a sound. She took another sip of the tea in front of her, her lowered eyes flashed slightly, and when she raised her head again, she deliberately tested her, "The taste of this tea is too light, it's really not as good as chocolate milk tea, Miss Meng, do you say yes?" ”

Meng Qingting listened to Lu Nianjin say, but he was confused, "Chocolate milk tea, what kind of tea is that?" ”

Lu Nianjin took a deep look at her and explained, "There is a grandmother next to me, who used to be a cook in a restaurant called Wisteria Mansion in Shuzhong for several years, and she learned the practice of chocolate milk tea from there, this tea has a silky taste, sweet but not greasy, very delicious, very suitable for women, if there is a chance in the future, I invite Miss Meng to come to the house to taste." ”

Meng Qingting said, "This is my honor. ”

Lu Nianjin looked at her like this, and was full of doubts in his heart-

The milk tea and Wisteria Mansion Restaurant she just said are all modern things, if Meng Qingting is really her fellow countryman, then her expression will definitely change when she hears these things, but she doesn't!

Could it be that she was wrong? Her fellow townsman actually had someone else, and that person was hiding behind Meng Qingting?

Thinking like this, Lu Nianjin's brows locked tightly.

Meng Qingting looked at Lu Nianjin like this, and was also suspicious in his heart, and after a while, he lightly opened his red lips, looked at her and said with concern, "Sister's face is very bad, isn't she feeling unwell, do you want me to take you to the hospital?" ”

"No need." Lu Nianjin came back to his senses, glanced at her lightly, and said, "It's been so long, my maidservant should have finished picking things, so I'll go down first." ”

As he spoke, he stood up and walked out.

Meng Qingting wanted to find an excuse to follow, but Lu Nianjin didn't give her this opportunity and walked out directly.

Meng Qingting stood at the table with his back straight, staring at Lu Nianjin's back, hatred and resentment flashing in his eyes......

When she went downstairs, Huanxi really picked out the things, negotiated the price, and prepared to let the shopkeeper send the things to the prince's mansion.

"Huanxi!" Lu Nianjin glanced at the maidservant who had been staring at Huanxi next to her, and said to her, "There are many things in the house these days, and it is inconvenient to enter the house, you directly settle the satin money, let the shopkeeper help keep it first, and then let him come over to get it when Chen Fu is done." ”

"Yes, girl, the slave understands." Huanxi smiled at Lu Nianjin, although she didn't understand the deep meaning of the master's explanation, but she knew that it was right to listen to the master.

There are indeed a lot of satin in Huanxi's picking, and they are two copies of the same, which is considered a big customer, and the shopkeeper is naturally willing to let her pay for the silver deposit.

After getting the receipt, the master and servant left Ruifuxiang.

And behind them, the maid who had been staring at Huanxi just now showed a trace of chagrin on her face.

At this moment, a fellow came up to her and asked, "Girl, have you picked one you like for so long?" ”

When the maid heard this, she glared at the man fiercely, but did not answer, turned around and ran upstairs.

In the tea room, Meng Qingting drank another cup of tea, and when she heard the familiar footsteps outside, she put down the tea bowl in her hand, looked at the maid thrush who squeezed into the door, and asked coldly, "How did you do what you did?" ”

The thrush stepped forward, trembling, and said tremblingly, "Miss, that maid's defensiveness is too strong, the slave and maid talked to her, she didn't pay attention to the slave and maid at all, and the slave and maid bribed her, and she didn't see it, she only single-mindedly picked up her favorite satin......"

"Waste." Meng Qingting listened to the thrush, a trace of extreme anger flashed in his eyes, and he looked at her, his eyes were cold and said, "You can't even do this little thing, what's the use of asking you!" ”

With that, she walked out.

The thrush bit her lip and lowered her head to keep up.

As a result, when he walked to the door, Meng Qingting suddenly turned around and glanced at her fiercely, "Who is crying and sad to show you, do you want everyone to know that you have been wronged with me?" ”

"Slaves don't dare!" Thrush said cautiously, pulling the corners of her mouth and forcing a smile.

Meng Qingting was not satisfied, she raised her hand, twisted it on her arm fiercely, and reprimanded, "Laughing is more ugly than crying!" Won't you smile better? ”

Thrush's eyes widened, endured the piercing pain, and bent her lips and smiled twice, laughing so that her eyes were full of water, Meng Qingting was satisfied, opened the door and walked out.

Let's talk about Lu Nianjin and Huanxi.

As soon as the two of them stepped out of Ruifuxiang with their front feet, Huanxi chattered with their hind feet, "Girl, did you see the servant girl who was beside me just now?" I don't know what kind of intentions she has in mind, just now when I was choosing satin, her head was like iron, touching me again and again, no matter how I refused her, ignoring her, she just stayed by my side and refused to leave...... Later, she tried to buy me with a silver bracelet, but how did she know, the more anxious she was, the more suspicious I became. ”

"Hmph, these are all lessons learned from me after the peacock hairpin incident."

"......" Lu Nianjin heard her say like this, with an appreciative smile on his face, but deep in his eyes, there was sadness and sadness.

If the price of Changxinyan will be so great, then she would rather Huanxi never have the heart to be defenseless, than lose most of her life like now, in exchange for such a lesson.

"Huanxi, in addition to marrying Chen Fu, do you have any other wishes, just use them as my wedding gift for you, how about I fulfill your three wishes?" After a long time, she suppressed her ups and downs, looked at Huanxi beside her with a smug face, and said.

Huanxi heard her girl say that she wanted to give her three wishes, and she really thought about it seriously.

When she turned another corner, she spoke, "This first wish, the slave maid naturally hopes that the girl can live a safe and happy life." ”

Lu Nianjin stiffened when he heard this, and his heart was slightly blocked.

Huanxi didn't notice Lu Nianjin's abnormality, and after a pause, she talked about her second wish, "This second wish, the slave maid hopes that Mama Qin can be disease-free and live a long life!" ”

"And the third one?" Lu Nianjin asked.

Speaking of the third wish, Huanxi finally showed a touch of shyness on his face, lowered his head and whispered, "This third wish, the slave maid wants to be in love with Brother Chen, and then give birth to seven or eight children...... When we get old, we will guard a circle of grandchildren and live a life of children and grandchildren around our knees. ”

……

"There will be such a day." Lu Nianjin looked at Huanxi Road.

Huanxi was ashamed, lowered her head and pinched the corners of her clothes, and then she didn't know what to think, she raised her head again, pouted and asked Lu Nianjin to assure her that she was not allowed to tell Chen Fu about her last wish.

Lu Nianjin couldn't wait to help her fulfill all of Huanxi's wishes at this moment, she looked at her and smiled deeply, "I promise you!" ”

"Then I'll be relieved." Huanxi said happily.

Lu Nianjin didn't say anything more.

After Huanxi's energy passed, she looked up at the sky again and said, "Girl, it's a gloomy day, I'm afraid it will rain soon, why don't we go here today and come out when we are free another day?" ”

Lu Nianjin heard her say this, and nodded sympathetically, after shopping for so long, she was indeed a little tired.

And because of what they were riding before, the carriage of the prince's mansion has been driven back.

Therefore, if the two of them want to go back now, they can only hire a carriage.

Huanxi proposed, "The girl will wait here first, and when the slave and maid hire a carriage, she will come and pick you up immediately." ”

"Hmm." Lu Nianjin nodded at her, and told her again, "Be careful all the way, pay attention to safety, and don't conflict with others." ”

"The slave knows!" Huanxi happily agreed, and walked towards the alley in front.

Lu Nianjin stood in place and waited.

She looked left and right, and there happened to be a teahouse next to it, so she walked in, ordered a pot of tea, and waited for Huanxi to come over by the window.

The tea was quickly served, and Lu Nianjin poured a cup and handed it to his lips.

The tea soup was very fragrant, so fragrant that it made her a little uneasy.

She put down the teacup and consciously looked at the shopkeeper who served her tea just now, but saw that the other party was also looking at her, with a cold expression, with an unkind expression, and a short knife hanging from her waist.

Could it be that the old lady of Chengguo has been staring at her and wants to get rid of her outside?

Thinking of this possibility, Lu Nianjin didn't dare to stay in the teahouse longer, put down a piece of silver, got up and was about to walk out.

"Isn't the girl satisfied with the tea in the shop?"

Seeing that she was leaving, the shopkeeper walked towards her and asked in a cold voice.

Lu Nianjin listened to his cold voice, and knew that he couldn't avoid this level.

I could only pretend to look at him calmly and ask, "Who is your master?" ”

The shopkeeper stretched out a hand and pointed in the direction of the back door, "The girl will know when she goes over!" ”

"What if I refuse to go?"

"Then don't blame the little rudeness!"

……

Lu Nianjin was panicked and anxious, she regretted it very much now. Not only regretted that he had nothing to do, but also regretted that he had left Chen Fu and Huanxi all away.

"The girl hasn't thought about it yet?" Seeing Lu Nianjin standing there without saying a word, the shopkeeper held the short knife in his hand, threatening to urge.

Lu Nianjin glanced at him again, to be honest, she was naturally more willing to go with him soberly than to be taken away after being knocked unconscious.

Thinking like this, she no longer hesitated, and immediately decided, "I'll go with you!" ”

As the words fell, she motioned for him to lead the way.

The shopkeeper turned around and walked forward.

Lu Nianjin shook out a silver needle from his sleeve and quickly pierced it at the three acupuncture points on his waist. This set of acupuncture will keep her body in extremely intense pain for two hours, in other words, even if she is knocked unconscious, she will wake up in the shortest possible time.

Soon, the two of them walked to the back door of the teahouse. There was a horse-drawn carriage parked outside the back door, and four men in black were guarding the carriage.

"Girl, please!" She approached before and after, led by the black-clothed human.

Lu Nianjin slowly stepped into the car and entered the carriage. As soon as she sat down, the carriage galloped out like an arrow from a string.

Lu Nianjin was turned upside down, coupled with the pain caused by the silver needle, after a while, her face turned pale, and her forehead was full of sweat droplets the size of beans, which was very unbearable.

It wasn't until an hour later that the horse stopped.

After Lu Nianjin got out of the car, he looked up and saw a delicate courtyard, surrounded by flowers and plants.

She frowned, looked at the man in black who had taken her captive, and tried to ask, "Where is this?" ”

The man in black gave her a cold look, "You'll know tonight." ”

Tonight.

What does that mean?

Could it be that the person who captives her was not an old lady, but someone else?

Yes!

With what she knew about the old lady, the old lady hated her to the core, and if she did this, then she would definitely start torturing her immediately, so that her life would be worse than death, instead of wasting time like now and letting her wait.

Lu Nianjin was pondering, and a woman in her thirties and forties, with a tight face, suddenly came in the distance.

When the man in black saw Mama, he immediately saluted respectfully and said, "Mama Chun, this is the new lady, you look at it and teach, the master will be used tonight." ”

Mama Chun nodded, her eyes fell on Lu Nianjin's face like a poisonous snake, and her voice did not have any waves, "I know, as the master wishes, the slave will definitely serve the eighteenth lady well." ”

New Lady, Eighteenth Lady......

Lu Nianjin listened to these words and suddenly understood that the people behind the scenes arrested her here not to kill her at all, but to make her a person.

It's like Shen Bao's pervert.

Thinking of Shen Bao, Lu Nianjin felt nauseous again.

Mama Chun stood aside, seeing the expression on her face clearly, after she sent the man in black away, she looked at Lu Nianjin and said, "Eighteen Madam, please." ”

Lu Nianjin didn't bother to correct her title, she followed her and walked to the embroidery building not far away. At the same time, he secretly looked at his surroundings.

If she guessed correctly, this should be a place where the powerful raise canaries.
