Chapter 639: Encountering Ten Thousand Families
After Chu Xingyue wore a hat and listened to Chunxing's evaluation of the two, she pretended to glance at the two lightly as if unintentionally.
Sure enough, after seeing the heavy makeup depicted on the woman's face and the bewitching energy oozing out of her bones, she understood what Chun Xing meant by 'not a serious person'.
The business of Linglongzhai is very good, and even the girls in the building in the town are frequent visitors to his house.
Peach Blossom Eye is also a master of the game flowers, and at a glance he can see that the extremely beautiful woman who was born is a Qinglou woman, although he is quite amazed that there is such a beautiful girl in this remote Qulan Town, but he is only amazed by this woman for a moment; I have seen a lot of Chu Xingyue's national color and fragrance, and any beautiful and colorful woman will look much inferior to her.
is like a star that wants to compete with the bright moon, if the bright moon does not appear, the star is naturally dazzling; But if you have seen the most dazzling moonlight, how can you really look at the starlight that will be eclipsed in front of the bright moon?!
Therefore, the peach blossom eyes only stayed on the woman's face for a moment and then turned her head, and by the way, she protected Chu Xingyue by her side; The two of them look quite familiar and intimate, and their actions fall into the eyes of others at this moment, like a couple who love each other, which is enviable.
Peony is the top brand in the Phoenix Building in Qulan Town, and was sold to the ** in the Phoenix Building by his poor parents for ten yuan when he was young; **Zi saw that she was a beautiful woman who could be carved, so she was carefully raised in the building, invited the best master in the building to teach her piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and also taught her how to use the unique advantages of women to get the favor of men.
She did not live up to the cultivation of her by the **, from the day she came out of the listing at the age of thirteen, she sat firmly in the top position of the Phoenix Building; Over the years, no matter how much turmoil she has experienced, or how hard the sisters who tried to compete with her for the top position later, she has been firmly rooted in her position like a rock, and has never been shaken by others.
Once, she enjoyed countless men who brought treasures and money to please her in order to make her laugh, and also enjoyed countless applause, watching the rich and powerful men chasing behind her, just to become her ministers; At that time, she was proud of the flower name she gave her, the national peony, and the flowers were gorgeous.
However, slowly, she found that time and years no longer attached to her; When the first wrinkles appeared on her face, the moment she looked at her skin that had lived up to the delicate it had been, she knew that her glorious time was coming to an end.
**Zi often says that women are like flowers, they have a flowering period; When the flowering period comes, you have to bloom hard, because soon, the flowering period will pass, and at that time, it will be too late for you to show yourself hard.
She grew up in the building, and what she saw most was not money and sex trading, but watching beautiful sisters go from gorgeous to twilight; That loneliness, the loneliness that will be forgotten and abandoned by the world, is something she absolutely cannot bear; Since she was a child, she was sold to the building by her biological parents, and she was only sold for ten yuan.
She will never forget that scene, her parents happily walked away with the ten yuan in their hands, no matter how alone she stood there and cried looking at their departing backs; It seems that in their eyes, she is not their child, but an object that can be exchanged for money, and is not worthy of their nostalgia at all.
Looking at herself in the bronze mirror who is gradually about to decline in flowering, she is very afraid, she is not afraid to live a hard life, she is afraid of being abandoned again, abandoned by the Phoenix Tower, the only one who accepts her, abandoned by the ** who regards her as a cash cow, and afraid of being abandoned by her benefactors.
So, she made a decision in her heart, this time, she would never be the one who was abandoned again; She wants to choose the most outstanding guest among the many benefactors, whether it is to become his concubine or the outer room, she has to take the initiative to leave the Phoenix Tower, and then entrust the rest of her life to this man who has been carefully selected by her.
The emperor lived up to her wishes, and she finally waited for the benefactor she thought could be worthy of her in the Phoenix Tower.
Although Qulan Town is a small town within the territory of the Great Wei, in recent years, with the friendship between the Great Wei and Southern Chu, many Southern Chu merchants and ordinary people have come to Qulan Town for trade and residence; And the man she chose was even bigger, and he was actually Wan Xiuran, the second son of Wan Yujue, the prime minister of Southern Chu.
She has heard of Wan Xiuran to some extent, and she heard that he is a lustful person like his father, but Wan Yujue, the left prime minister of Nanchu, can still control himself, and he is quite determined; And his son is far worse than his old son, over the years, the Wanjia family has risen in Nanchu, and Wan Xiu has relied on the reputation of the Wanjia family to do a lot of things outside; Many people dare not speak out in the face of such Wan Xiuran, after all, in Nanchu today, Wan Jia's words are very weighty, in such a situation, even if Wan Xiuran kills people and sets fires, I'm afraid no one dares to jump out and reprimand him.
Although Wan Xiuran has a problem with his character, who made his family have a powerful father and family?
She knew that it was a very risky move to follow Wan Xiuran's side, but she could also see that Wan Xiuran was very obsessed with her, otherwise she would not have been hooked after coming to the Phoenix Tower, after seeing her for the first time; From that day on, I spent a good night with her, and I agreed to any request from her.
Peony is a very smart woman, she knows very well what she wants; Years of living in the building have made it impossible for her to live a poor life anymore, and if she can, she is really willing to continue to live a prosperous and wealthy life; Therefore, the man she chooses must be able to support her, and she will obediently become a plaything in the hands of that person for his pleasure; The two are together, each taking what they need, and it can be regarded as a good match.
Therefore, Peony chose Wan Xiuran even though she knew that he was not a good person, because she knew very well that only a person like Wan Xiuran could give her everything she wanted.
Just like today, she just sat in Wan Xiuran's arms and hooked his neck and shouted 'good brother' a few times, and Wan Xiuran immediately agreed to take her out to the best jewelry store in town to choose jewelry for her.
Choosing jewelry is just a means for Peony to test Wan Xiu Dyeing, if a man is not even willing to make a woman happy, this person definitely doesn't like this woman much; And Wan Xiuran is willing to coax her, willing to get used to her, she naturally wants to firmly grasp him and let his heart belong to her completely; Then he ransomed her out of the building and brought her back to Jinyang, giving her the rich and free life she wanted.
It's just that what Peony didn't expect was that after she came to Linglong Zhai, she met the most beautiful man she had ever seen in her life; Yes, this man is really good-looking, especially those peach blossom eyes, it seems that as long as he looks at her, her whole body will be crispy.
Although Peony likes the man's appearance very much, she is not stupid enough to give up her financial owner for the sake of a good-looking man.
Therefore, even if Peony loved the man who made her heart beat faster at a glance, she still snuggled up to Wan Xiuran's side without missing a trace, carefully ingratiating herself with him, and striving for ideas to make Wan Xiuran's heart even more reluctant to let go of herself.
Chu Xingyue's eyes were still very sharp, and when she noticed that the woman in the pair seemed to be peeping at Peach Blossom Eyes, she subconsciously couldn't help laughing, stood on tiptoe to get close to Peach Blossom Eyes' ears, and whispered to him: "I can't see it, you also have a day when you will be in trouble." ”
Hearing Chu Xingyue's joking voice, Peach Blossom Eyes looked at Chu Xingyue boredly.
How could he have left something that even she had noticed, of course he had noticed the stupid look of the woman staring at him just now, although he was glad that his skin could attract the attention of a woman, but he always felt that it was a little strange.
It's like walking in the flowers all year round, and the person who covets all kinds of delicate flowers is suddenly targeted by the bees in the flowers, and this kind of taste really makes him a little uncomfortable.
At this moment, the shopkeeper of Linglong Zhai Zhou happily held the newly arrived jade bracelet and showed it to Chu Xingyue and a few people, which could be regarded as distracting a little discomfort in Peach Blossom Eyes' heart.
Chu Xingyue's previous status was noble, what kind of good things had never been seen or owned, plus Zhao Ling doted on her, and she almost hated to hold the best things in the world in front of her with both hands for her to enjoy; Therefore, from the very beginning, she never thought that there would really be anything particularly good in this remote Qulan town that could make her look sideways.
It's just that when she saw a good blood jade bracelet in the jade bracelet brought by the shopkeeper Zhou, Rao had seen a lot of exquisite and gorgeous jewelry, and Chu Xingyue couldn't help but look at the jade bracelet for a while.
Peach Blossom Eyes obviously also fell in love with this crystal clear blood jade bracelet, and quickly took the blood jade bracelet in his hand and played with interest.
Shopkeeper Zhou is a shrewd and sophisticated businessman, at a glance at the peach blossom eyes and dress, he knows that the son in front of him is a God of Wealth, and now that the God of Wealth has made it clear that he likes this blood jade bracelet, he is naturally more diligent to praise, and said: "The son is really discerning, this batch of new arrivals only has this blood jade bracelet, and the origin of this blood jade bracelet is still very extraordinary, is the son interested in hearing about it?" ”
As soon as Shopkeeper Zhou said this, not to mention Chu Xingyue and Peach Blossom Eyes, even the peony standing on the side and Wan Xiuran, whose eyes were flying wildly, were attracted by his words that hung their appetites.
Peach Blossom Eyes fiddled with the blood jade bracelet in her hand, and looked at the shopkeeper Zhou with a smile: "Although this blood jade bracelet is a high-grade product, it's just that no matter how good it is, it's just an item, how can you listen to your tone as if there is some allusion in it?" ”
