Lu Renfu Di, the courtyard where Mi Zhen lived.

In the hall, Lu Renzheng's eyes widened, and he looked at the two female guests sitting opposite him in astonishment. The eldest one is about twenty-six or seven years old, although he is a little older, but his appearance is only slightly inferior to Mi Zhen, and his demeanor will always reveal a little bit of the vicissitudes of reading the world, giving people a feeling of maturity and stability.

The other was a little girl of about fourteen or fifteen years old, a girl who was only fourteen or fifteen years old, but she was already so beautiful that she could hardly face it. If it is just that he was born beautiful, Lu Ren may not be too careful, after all, he is not a guy who has never seen a beautiful woman, but this girl gives people an extremely unique feeling.

is only fourteen or fifteen years old, and there is still a bit of childishness on his body, but his demeanor has a sense of maturity and stability similar to that of the older woman next to him; is obviously a dignified and quiet, and the indifference revealed from her eyes can equate her with a frost beauty, a girl who makes people dare not approach, but if you really look at the past, you will inexplicably feel that she is actually a fire, a fire that can burn people to ashes......

It is said that water and fire are incompatible, but this girl has two completely different charms of water and fire at the same time, and there is no sense of contradiction, and the integration between each other is so perfect and unique.

Looking at this girl, the corners of Lu Ren's eyes were almost cracked, and everyone was a little stupid and distracted, but Mi Zhen on her side coughed hard a few times and secretly pushed Lu Ren hard with her elbow before pulling him back to his senses. Lu Ren, who came back to his senses, knew that he was rude, and he was embarrassed to reach out and scratch his head and laugh a few times, but he also guessed the identities of these two women after a little groaning, and his face was straight, his eyes did not look at the girl as much as possible, and at the same time bowed to the older woman and asked: "Dare to ask the two of you, but Zhen Jiang, the eldest daughter of Mr. Zhen Yi Zhen, and Zhen Mi, the eldest daughter of Mr. Zhen Yizhen?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Mi Zhen was stunned, and the two daughters on the opposite side were also stunned, because Mi Zhen had not yet introduced who it was to Lu Ren, and Lu Ren actually deduced it himself. Lu Ren saw that the three girls were stunned, and shrugged his shoulders with a dry smile and said, "It seems that I guessed correctly, right?" Don't be surprised, I worked in Puyang Tuntian for a year, and Puyang is not far from Zhongshan, and I have heard some messy things. ”

Saying that, Lu Ren turned his head sideways and glared at Mi Zhen, who pursed her lips and turned her head to avoid Lu Ren's gaze with a snicker.

Lu Ren snorted lightly, and then turned around and continued: "In short, I am such a virtuous person, and I will inquire about some things in this regard wherever I go, so I have heard a little about your five daughters of the Zhen family, and it is not difficult to deduce it based on the number of years." ”

Zhen Jiang has a very inexplicable feeling about Lu Ren's somewhat self-deprecating explanation, in fact, in the late Han Dynasty, how many people would speak like Lu Ren as a modern person, always with a bit of self-deprecating banter? After pondering for a moment, Zhen Jiang bowed to Lu Ren and said, "The concubine body is indeed Zhen Jiang, and I have seen Lu Lingjun." ”

"The little woman Zhen Mi has seen Lu Lingjun."

It's really Luo Shen Zhen Mi!

Lu Ren was secretly sighing at the moment, and said in his heart that it was no wonder that Cao Pi wanted to snatch Zhen Mi as soon as he saw Zhen Mi to be his wife, because such a girl is really too rare. And in Lu Ren's image, at least among the women he has met in this era, only Diao Chan has a "lethality" that can be compared. Even Cai Yan doesn't have such a strong visual impact based on his appearance alone.

Because Zhen Mi's "lethality" was too strong, Lu Ren still couldn't help but want to look at Zhen Mi a few more times, but when he glanced at it, he found that Wan'er was kneeling beside her with her head down and didn't say a word, and her eyes also showed a little loss. Seeing this, Lu Ren's heart jumped suddenly, and he quickly shook his head a few times to shake off his distracting thoughts, and said to Zhen Jiang seriously: "Why did the two young ladies come to Xudu?" ”

Although Lu Ren's movements were subtle, they still all fell into Zhen Jiang's eyes, and Zhen Jiang secretly had a little approval of Lu Ren in his heart, and immediately smiled: "Lu Lingjun's words are a bit redundant. I think that more than 500 people from my Zhen caravan came to Xu Xing to sell goods, how could there be no one to lead the crowd? ”

"Huh!?" Lu Ren was taken aback: "The person in charge of the Zhen family's caravan this time turned out to be Miss Zhen?" ”

Zhen Jiang said: "The concubine has already married a woman, and she doesn't dare to call herself a young lady anymore, so please ask Lu Lingjun to change her name and call me Mrs. Zhen." As for why my Zhen caravan is in charge of me...... Thinking about it, the concubine's life was hard, my husband died of illness within three years of marriage, and the deceased husband's clan couldn't tolerate me, so the concubine had to return to Zhen's. Later, the eldest brother Zhen Yu died of illness, and the second brother of Yan and Yao was still young, and my father had been deceased for more than ten years, and there was no one in charge of the family business, so I was temporarily in charge of the master, helping my mother to take care of all things in the family. This time I went to Xu Xingshang, the hidden meaning Lu Lingjun knew in his heart, and it was very important to my Zhen family, so my mother asked me to personally lead the caravan to Xu Xingshang. ”

"Oh, I see......"

Mi Zhen picked up the words on the side and said, "Sir, I was not easy to speak in the government before, so you have to go and say hello to Xun Lingjun and Mr. Liu when you turn around." I have your secret approval, and I can go straight to the government office to talk to you about everything when I change into men's clothes, but Sister Zhen can't, so if you want to talk about selling iron, you have to talk about it in another place. Originally, I wanted to settle at the Qingguo Wine Shop, but considering that there were too many good people coming and going, I had to give up. Didn't Xun Gong say that there was a house to sell? I think the location of the negotiation of iron selling will be changed to the courtyard of the mansion that Xun Gong wants to sell, so that it is convenient to hide people's eyes. ”

Lu Ren nodded and said, "It was inconvenient for you to speak directly in the mansion before, so let me come to meet Mrs. Zhen first to say hello, right?" It's still a girl who is careful. There's nothing wrong with this, I'll just go talk to Wen Ruo tomorrow. ”

Mi Zhen said again: "There is another thing to ask Mr. is that the Zhen sisters will temporarily live in Mr.'s mansion for a few months, and they will not return to Zhongshan until the Yellow River thaws after the spring of next year and the caravan is complete." ”

"Huh!?" Lu Ren was dumbfounded when he heard this.

Mi Zhen glanced at Lu Ren and explained: "30,000 catties of iron is not a small amount, and it can't be sent directly to the official warehouse according to the way we prescribed, so we have to walk around the upstream of the market, which will take some time." Besides, it is about to enter the midwinter season, and the road will be blocked when it snows heavily, how do you say that Sister Zhen's caravan of more than 500 people will return to Zhongshan? If it weren't for that, how could Sister Zhen be in a hurry to buy a grange here in Xu Du to house those five hundred people? But don't worry, Sister Zhen's money and food income from selling local groceries on this trip is enough for these people's daily expenses, and she won't eat your one liter and a half bucket. If you really want to eat, your little money is not enough for everyone to eat for a few days. ”

"......" Lu Ren was speechless, and several women in the hall pursed their lips and snickered.

Looking at Lu Ren again, he shook his head, and only after shaking off the embarrassment just now did he say: "I didn't mean that, I mean it's a little inconvenient for them to live in my house?" Originally, the rumors in the market spread that I didn't do well, and you have already suffered from it, and now you suddenly stuff two eldest ladies into it, what if you are seen by a good person and deliberately spread a few words? I don't care if I'm a man, but you girls can't do it, people's saliva can drown people! ”

Mi Zhen premeditated and raised her fingers: "No way, the Zhen family doesn't have any old acquaintances in Xuchang, so we have discussed this a long time ago, let Sister Zhen and Xiao Mi give in for the time being, usually try not to go out, if you want to go out, don't wear makeup and don't thrush, just pretend to be a maid next to me." Of course, they are temporarily living in my other house. ”

Lu Renxin said that he doesn't wear makeup? If you don't wear makeup, Zhen Jiang can say that she will look like a housekeeper if she dresses up rustically, but Zhen Mi, a girl who is naturally beautiful and has a unique charm, can't hide it no matter how much she hides it? But if the Zhen sisters have nowhere to live, then where can they start selling iron? After thinking about it for a long time and grabbing his head for a long time, Lu Ren could only sigh helplessly: "Okay, what to do is up to you, I just remind you of one ......"

As he spoke, he glanced at Zhen Mi a few more times and immediately retracted his gaze and said, "If it is not necessary, Miss Zhen Mi should try not to go out." With her charm and demeanor, no matter how ugly she is, it is difficult to hide it from others, if she is seen, I am afraid that my house will be broken by people who inquire about the news or want to ask for relatives. I can warn you that today's capital is a place where the powerful and powerful meet, and there are many people who are greedy for beauty. If something happens, I won't be able to protect you. ”

It was inconvenient for Lu Ren to say that what he was referring to was actually the Cao family father and son, fortunately, Cao Cao was still fighting outside at this time, that is, he went to fight Zhang Xiu for the second time, and he had not returned from Wancheng at this time.

Mi Zhen smiled: "Don't worry, sir, I will naturally arrange it properly." But when it comes to being lustful, who in the entire Xu Capital City is like you, sir? and Guo Fengxiao, who often comes to drink alcohol, is not much better. ”

"......" Lu Ren put on a vicious wolf posture in extreme speechlessness to scare Mi Zhen: "Believe it or not, I'll have a wolf howl in the middle of the night tonight!?" ”

Mi Zhen glared at Lu Ren viciously, grabbed the empty teacup and smashed it at Lu Ren, and smashed it on Lu Ren's forehead with a bang, so painful that Lu Ren covered his forehead and stopped talking. Looking at Mi Zhen again, she turned her head and said to the Zhen sisters: "Don't pay attention to him, he is this virtue, he often talks and talks about it, and he is not serious, but his character is not bad, and he can rest assured." Alright, you've had a hard time, so rest early. ”

Lu Ren was also a little afraid to stay here longer, so he gently patted Wan'er, who was still there bowing her head and silent, on the shoulder, and said softly: "Wan'er, we should go back to our own courtyard." ”

Wan'er raised her head and answered, and left with Lu Ren. And when Lu Ren and Wan'er left, Mi Zhen hid in the wind window of the courtyard wall, looking at Lu Ren and Wan'er walking in the corridor......
