Chapter 167: Heartbeat
"Boss, is it a jade flute?" Lu Li asked happily holding the white jade flute.
"Girl, of course it's a jade flute. Does the girl like it? It's only eight hundred taels, and I'll wrap it up for you?"
"What? eight hundred taels?" Lu Li stuck out his tongue in horror, "It's too expensive, eighty taels, eighty taels I want." ”
I've seen the bargaining ruthless, but I've never seen Lu Li's so ruthless.
People in this era are still very principled, unlike in the previous life, where they asked for money and sat on the ground to pay back. In business, it is more important to pay attention to fair prices.
Therefore, Lu Li's words suddenly made it a little difficult for the shopkeeper to pick up.
"Sister Ahri, even if it is pure white jade, the price is more than five hundred taels, and if you count the processing into jade flute, the price of eight hundred taels is already very fair. ”
A voice suddenly sounded, and Shen Ling, who was holding a folding fan, came over with a smile.
"It's still this son who said fairly, the shop is open for business, and what he talks about is the real thing, and the girl still doesn't joke with the old man. The shopkeeper hurriedly said along the steps.
"Why are you here?" asked Lu Li, with a blank look at Shen Ling.
"Just allow your brother to take a vacation, can't I take a vacation? He's been busy for more than a month, why shouldn't I?"
Lu Sheng gave Shen Ling a disdainful look. This product is embarrassed to say, there are so many heads in Xuantian Mansion, he is the most idle all day long.
And this goods will be found, which has long been expected by Lu Sheng. This thing's attempt on Lu Li, the entire Xuantian Mansion is estimated to be clear to everyone except Lu Li.
Shen Ling is a good prodigal son, but at least he is still a prodigal son who can stick to the bottom line. Lu Sheng is not rejecting him from becoming his brother-in-law, but he just does not reject him. Whether he can win Lu Li's heart depends on his own ability.
Shen Ling's joining, and the natural expenses were contracted by him. Lu Sheng has to admit that men are the most attractive when they spend money. Even Lu Sheng, a man, was also a little impressed.
The first one was to buy a jade flute for Lu Li. This jade flute is two feet long, and its whole body is as white as mutton fat. After Lu Li got his hand, he smiled like a child. But what hurt Shen Ling was that as soon as Lu Li changed hands, he gave the jade flute to Lu Sheng.
The reason is strong, she won't blow.
made Shen Ling get a mouthful of old blood stuck in his throat.
The six arts of a gentleman are also one of the compulsory courses for scientific examinations. Therefore, although Lu Sheng's piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are not top-notch, they are definitely not good.
Shen Ling was playing with the folding fan in his hand, and Lu Sheng was playing with the jade flute in his hand. The son is romantic, but it has also become a beautiful scenery on the streets of Jinling City.
The sky was getting darker and darker, and it looked like a rain was coming.
Pedestrians on the street are even more hurried.
"The air is getting thicker and heavier, and in an hour there will be a rain. Let's find a place to wait for the rain to stop before we visit. Lu Sheng proposed.
"It's okay, I have a good one to go out, Jiangnan Yanyu Building!" Shen Ling closed the folding fan and said.
"Qinglou again?" Lu Li's reflexive disdain.
"How can I go up to the Qinglou with you?" Shen Ling smiled mysteriously, "On the banks of the Jinling River, the smoke and rain are like waves." After the rain, the Half Moon Lake is as beautiful as a fairyland, and the Yanyu Building is located right on the edge of the Half Moon Lake. When the rain stops, how about we go on a boat ride on the lake?"
"Okay—" Speaking of playing, Lu Li's interest came again.
Although the sky was dull and it looked like it was going to rain, there was still some time before the rain really fell, so the three of them were not in a hurry, and walked slowly along the street.
After a few days of walking through the streets, the hawker shops on the road have become much scarcer, but the pedestrians on the street are not the least scarce. More are Jianghu martial arts people who carry swords or wear uniform clothing.
Even if the city defense army blockades Jinling, there are still many martial arts people pouring into the city, unless the army is sacrificed and Jinling City is completely isolated.
On both sides of the street, there are osmanthus trees, and the osmanthus flowers are fragrant in August, and the warmth is full of people. Walking down the street, even the most depressed mood will become relaxed.
Suddenly, Shen Ling secretly tugged at the corner of Lu Sheng's clothes, and Lu Sheng, who was looking at the osmanthus on the side of the road, suddenly turned around, but for a moment it seemed that the world was frozen.
At the end of the opposite side, a woman in Tsing Yi walked slowly.
Her black hair dances in the breeze. The exquisite facial features seem to be able to gather light, so that once Lu Sheng's eyes are attracted, he can no longer take his eyes off.
It was a thumping of the heart that I had never experienced before.
The dress of the woman in Tsing Yi is simple, but it gives people an extra sense of tranquility. Walking slowly, in the eyes as light as autumn water, there seems to be a lotus-like heart.
"This sister is so beautiful...... I didn't expect that the first to sigh was Lu Li.
Lu Sheng and the three stepped aside, making way for the woman to walk first. At this moment, there were so many pedestrians on the street, but at this moment, it seemed that there was only this woman.
It wasn't until the woman's figure disappeared that Lu Sheng and the three came back to their senses.
"There is such a flawless woman in the world, even Xuan Miao Butterfly is nothing more than that, right?" Shen Ling sighed faintly, Lu Sheng glanced at Lu Li with a wry smile, and if he continued to die like this, it was estimated that there was little hope.
"This woman's beauty is not in her appearance!" Lu Sheng said in a word.
"If a woman is not beautiful with flowers and moons, then what is beauty?"
"In terms of appearance alone, although this woman is flawless, she is not incomparable in the world. Suzhou City alone, I can also measure it by hand, which is comparable in appearance.
But this female beauty is in Shen Yun, and I am afraid that no one else in the world can have this charm. The misty smoke waves, such as the quiet beauty of autumn leaves, the charm is indifferent, and the tranquility of the mirror lake. I'm sure that this woman must have stayed in the sea of books all her life and read books that others can't finish in their lifetime. Otherwise, how can there be such a bookish smell?"
Lu Sheng talked eloquently, which surprised Shen Ling.
"When you met in a hurry, you could see it so real?"
"Some people can't see clearly for a lifetime, and some people just look at it at a glance. Lu Sheng pretended to fiddle with the jade flute in his hand, "Don't you think this jade flute is more compatible with this girl?"
"This is mine!" Shen Ling shouted angrily.
Jiangnan Yanyu Building, with its remote geographical location, is destined not to be patronized by too many people. However, after 20 years of opening, the Yanyu Building in Jiangnan has become more and more famous instead of being dilapidated, and naturally it also has his uniqueness.
The structure of the Yanyu Building is different, if the screen of the Yanyu Building is removed, the whole building is a five-storey pavilion. There are no brick walls in Yanyu Building, and the entire building is supported by supporting columns.
Pull up the screen, it is a smoke and rain building, remove the screen, it is the smoke and rain pavilion.
A gentle breeze blows, and the Half Moon Lake in the distance is sparkling. Sitting on the fifth floor, drinking tea and enjoying the scenery is not a pleasure.
A light drizzle fell, like a light mist of smoke.
It stands to reason that at this time, even if it rains, it should be a downpour. But on the contrary, it rained smoke and rain in the gloomy sky.
Lu Sheng looked out the window, and suddenly the movement in his hand paused.
In the smoke and rain, the cyan figure slowly walked to the edge of the Half Moon Lake, looking at the lake water that was gradually rising in the mist.
At this moment, Lu Sheng suddenly remembered a poem he saw in his previous life, you are watching the scenery by the lake, but the people watching the scenery upstairs are looking at you.
The woman in Tsing Yi is so perfectly integrated into the scenery of Half Moon Lake in the south of the Yangtze River, and the smoke and waves are misty......
She ...... You can't think about it, right?" asked Shen Ling.
"This climate ......," Lu Sheng muttered, and suddenly stood up.
"What are you going to do?"
"Give her an umbrella. ”
Lu Sheng picked up the oil-paper umbrella he was carrying, jumped lightly, and the person fell from the fifth floor like a breeze.
The oil-paper umbrella opened, and the painting slowly fell like a flower.
When Lu Sheng got closer, he realized that he was thinking too much. A faint mist rose from the body of the woman in Tsing Yi, not smoke and rain, but a thin shield around the woman.
Not to mention wet clothes, not even the hair is wet at all.
But since he has come, it is obviously not Lu Sheng's style to retreat like this. In this situation, if there is a painter present, he will definitely be excited to record the scene of the meeting of this beautiful woman.
"Girl, it's raining......"
Lu Sheng slowly came behind the woman and said softly.
"I know......" The woman's voice was very soft and light, but it didn't give Lu Sheng the feeling of being thousands of miles away.
Lu Sheng slowly came to the woman's side and handed the umbrella in his hand to the woman, "Here you go!"
The woman was slightly stunned and turned around. The eyes are beautiful and large, but they have no sparkle. It's like a gemstone set in the eye socket.
The woman was stunned for a moment, and slowly stretched out her hand to take the oil umbrella, "Thank you!"
"Girl, if you don't mind, please go over and take shelter from the rain?" Lu Sheng asked again.
The woman silently turned her face away and stopped talking.
Lu Sheng waited for a while, and then bowed his hand and said goodbye.
Just turned around, suddenly, a faint voice sounded, "I'm waiting for someone......"
Lu Sheng's footsteps paused, a little stunned. But thinking that the other party was waiting for someone, my heart was inexplicably a little sour.
"She's waiting...... Who could it be?"
"Got deflated?" Back at Yanyu Building, Shen Ling asked with some schadenfreude.
"We have all looked away, this girl's cultivation is very high. Lu Sheng poured himself a cup of tea and said with a smile.
Knock Knock Knock –
Heavy footsteps sounded, and a dozen people quickly stepped onto the fifth floor, and then each found a table to sit down.
Lu Sheng's eyes swept over these people, and suddenly he glanced at Shen Ling in surprise.
This group of people are all people from the rivers and lakes, and every one of them has an aura rippling around them. His temples bulged and his eyes twitched. The cultivation of these dozen or so people is all above the nine levels of the day after tomorrow.
"Shen Ling, I suddenly think that you seem to have ulterior motives for bringing us to Yanyu Building today?"
"Did you finally find out? Do you think I'm as willful as you?
Soon, there was an endless stream of martial arts people from the rivers and lakes. The remote smoke and rain building has shown a trend of being full in a very short period of time.
"What the hell is going on?"
"Yesterday's news, Baihua Valley came to Jinling with Xuan Miao Butterfly. Xuan Miaodie was seriously injured and dying, but fortunately, she was able to save her life thanks to Tianxiang Cardamom. They came here in order to find the medicine immortal Daoyi who cultivated Tianxiang Cardamom. ”
"Medicine Immortal, I remember that there is another Medicine King in the Nanling Palace?"
"Yes, he is a disciple of Gu Daoyi. ”
"The people of Baihua Valley come to Jinling, what does it have to do with Yanyu Tower?"
Because of reliable information, Bu Feiyan appeared in Jinling City. Baihua Valley released the news and asked Bu Feiyan to meet in Yanyu Building. You know now why so many people came, right?"
Lu Sheng turned his head and looked at the woman in Tsing Yi who was standing quietly by the lake with an umbrella, "She is from the Hundred Flowers Palace?"
"No!" she called Bu Feiyan. ”
