Chapter 27: Love at First Sight
During this period of time, Lu Linlang also met a lot of official ladies, but Li Ruohong alone did not have the appearance of an official ladies, but he was like a boy with a big grin, and he also knew some kung fu.
The two of them can also talk, Li Ruohong pulled Lu Linlang and gossiped in the yard for a while before letting her gossip, and before leaving, he stuffed a handful of candied fruits for her, "Take it on the road and eat it slowly, save it from being boring." ”
Lu Linlang carried a bag of preserved fruit and walked while eating, the Xu family lived in the east of the capital, not far away, Lu Linlang in order to save money for hiring a carriage, he walked to the door of Xu's house on two legs.
Xu Qingyue was a little surprised when she saw her, "Why is Miss Lu here?" Is there anything wrong with the clothes from last time? Or is she going to trouble you again? ”
"The county lord's affairs have been settled, and I came to you because of clothes." Lu Linlang pulled Xu Qingyue back to her boudoir, as soon as she entered the room, she smelled a faint fragrance, the room was simple and luxurious, in the end, it was the daughter of the Shangjia family, she was willing to spend money, and the objects on the museum shelves could be sold for hundreds of taels of silver if she took them out.
Lu Linlang looked at it, if she had such a big family business, she wouldn't be busy working outside on two legs all day long.
Xu Qingyue poured tea and pulled her to sit down at the table, and then went to the cabinet to take out the dress, "What's wrong with this dress?" I came back that day and tried it on once, and I checked it everywhere and didn't find anything wrong. ”
"Not this dress." Lu Linlang blinked, "I came this time to make another set of clothes for you." ”
"Another set?" Xu Qingyue was slightly stunned, "But I have no plans to make new clothes recently, Miss Lu, is your business not very good there?" Do you want me to introduce some more girls to your ......?"
"No, no, no!" Lu Linlang hurriedly waved his hand, "My business there is not good, but now I can't take more orders, that's the case, you are my first customer, and some of my later business was introduced by you, I want to be a feedback to customers, and in a few days it will be the Lantern Festival, and I want to invite you to come out to play together." ”
"Really?" Xu Qingyue seemed to be a little surprised, but Lu Linlang felt a little strange, a big family like her, originally thought that her lantern festival had already been invited, but she didn't expect Xu Qingyue to be so happy in the face of her invitation.
"Yes, I'm a newcomer, and I don't have any friends, so it's a waste to stay at home with such a lively Lantern Festival." Lu Linlang nodded hurriedly, but Xu Qingyue frowned slightly, "New to here?" Hasn't Miss Lu been in the capital all along? ”
Lu Linlang was quick for a while, she was indeed a newcomer, but her body had been in the capital all the time, so she smiled busily, "I mean I just started business, I am indeed a newcomer in the business field, unlike your family with such a big family business, but do you already have an appointment on the day of the Lantern Festival?" ”
"Nope." Xu Qingyue lowered her head and sat down next to her, "I'm not afraid of Miss Lu's jokes when I say it, I don't have any friends in this capital, and no one asks me to go out to play during the Lantern Festival." ”
"Why is that?" Lu Linlang looked puzzled, Xu Qingyue is in business at home, her family style is not so strict, and it is nothing to go out for a walk from time to time, and she has a solid family background and seems to have a good personality, how can she have no friends?
"Our family only moved to the capital a few years ago, and the business is getting bigger and bigger, so we have this house, and most of the officials in the capital look down on us who are doing business." Xu Qingyue's voice lowered, and even she seemed to feel a little inferior.
Lu Linlang frowned and sat next to her and patted her on the shoulder, "If I am as rich as your family, I will walk sideways on the street, and ignore these strange social systems, then let's go out and play together, by the way, this is the design drawing I made, you can see if you like it or not." ”
finally found an excuse to make new clothes for Xu Qingyue, so as not to murong Zheng to talk about Miss Xu and Miss Xu in front of her all day long.
Xu Qingyue took the drawings and looked at them, with a little surprise in her eyes, "This kind of dress is really chic, I have never seen it in the capital, can it really be made?" ”
"Don't worry, since I can design it, I can make it." Lu Linlang patted his chest confidently.
"Well, I believe Miss Lu, how much is this dress, I'll pay you first." Xu Qingyue looked very satisfied, and she had to pay first, Lu Linlang thought for a while, "Let's talk about it later, don't worry, I'm not afraid that you will run away from my list." ”
"That's not good, your embroidery village has just started, it must be when you want to use money, I will give you the money first, and if it is not enough, I will make it up to you." In terms of money, Xu Qingyue is extraordinarily generous, this is the benefit of the businessman's family.
Lu Linlang had already received Murong Zheng's money, if she collected Xu Qingyue's money again, wouldn't it be beneficial to both ends, seeing Xu Qingyue's unrelenting posture, she quoted a price much lower than usual, and regarded it as an errand fee for the past few days.
It was still early when he came out of the Xu family's compound, and it happened to be on East Street now, Lu Linlang wanted to find a passer-by to inquire where the recruiting market was.
But the front foot had just walked out of an alley, and suddenly she saw a white figure running towards her in a hurry, a man with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and his expression was a little panicked.
The alley was a little narrow, and the two were about to collide head-on, but the man hurriedly stopped, panting slightly, "Does the girl know where this is hiding?" Can you take it with you to avoid the limelight? ”
"Huh?" Lu Linlang was slightly stunned, and before she understood what the man meant, she suddenly saw a group of women not far in front of her rushing towards this side, still shouting something.
The man in front of him saw the group of women chasing after him, his expression was even more panicked, and he even looked a little pitiful when he looked at Lu Linlang, "Please take the girl to avoid the limelight, and there will be heavy thanks afterwards." ”
I don't know what this group of women are doing chasing a man in broad daylight, but seeing that his expression is really a little pitiful, Lu Linlang turned around and ran into the alley with him, "You come with me." ”
She often comes to the Xu family's compound, and she is quite familiar with the road here, so she took the man in white to turn left and right, and finally ran to a dilapidated courtyard to hide.
Soon the group of women caught up, and Lu Linlang heard them chattering outside about what kind of champion lang and what Liu Lang...... It's as fanatical as the group of star-chasing young people in the 21st century.
The man in white in front of him seemed to be frightened, raised his hand and patted his chest gently, and the whole person was almost next to Lu Linlang's body, until the group of women gradually ran away before he breathed a sigh of relief.
In a hurry just now, Lu Linlang didn't even look at the man's appearance, but when he got closer, he realized that the man in front of him was really a celestial figure, dressed in white, more gentle and elegant, and his panicked appearance was even a little cute.
"Thank you girl for your help, in Xialiu Changqing, if the girl needs my help, you can come to me." Liu Changqing arched his hand slightly, and his tone was gentle.
The woman in front of her was wearing simple coarse cloth clothes, but her style was chic, and she looked different from other women in the capital.
Liu Changqing? Lu Linlang repeated his name and felt a little familiar, it seemed that he was the new champion of liberal arts this year, who was very much used by the emperor and held important positions in the palace, and because he was still young and handsome, many women in the capital wanted to marry him, so there was the scene just now.
It's really exactly the same as the star-chasing scene, Lu Linlang couldn't help laughing, "It's nothing, it's just a gesture, I'll leave first if there's nothing to do." ”
She still has to go to the market to recruit people, and if she delays like this, it will be dark, Lu Linlang walked out of the dilapidated courtyard, and suddenly remembered that she was just looking for someone to ask where the market on East Street was, so she turned around and saw Liu Changqing just walking out of the courtyard, dressed in white like a fairy descending to earth, and her heartbeat couldn't help but beat faster.
"Is there anything else going on with the girl?" Liu Changqing saw Lu Linlang suddenly turn back again, looked at him with burning eyes, and vaguely guessed in her heart that she was like those women just now, wanting to take advantage of him while others were away?
"I want to ask for directions, do you know where the East Street recruitment market is?" Lu Linlang blinked her eyes and smiled a little embarrassedly, although she was good-looking, it was not good for her to stare at it like this.
"The recruitment market, it is not far from my residence, if the girl does not dislike it, please come with me." Seeing that she was just asking for directions, Liu Changqing breathed a sigh of relief, and saw that she was not as crazy as other women, but he was relieved to let her go with him.
Lu Linlang also nodded, "That's right, lest I can't find the way by myself." ”
She followed Liu Changqing around for a while, and gradually noticed that something was not right, and couldn't help asking, "Where are you taking me?" ”
"Ah, I forgot to tell the girl, my carriage is parked on the street next to it, and it will be faster to get there." Liu Changqing turned around and explained, Lu Linlang realized that he was wrong to blame, and hurriedly smiled, "So that's the case, thank you Liu Gongzi." ”
After walking a few steps with him, he saw a carriage parked in front of him, Liu Changqing went up first, and then turned around and stretched out his hand to her, "Come, I'll pull you up." ”
It doesn't matter if a person is good-looking, he studies well, he is a big official, and he is so considerate and gentle, where can I find such a good man? Lu Linlang was slightly stunned, then stretched out his hand a little shyly and got into Liu Changqing's carriage.
The two were in the same carriage, Lu Linlang was extremely cramped and uneasy, she could still stare at Liu Changqing's face generously just now, but now she only lowered her head, and for a while even she didn't like such a restrained herself, could it be that she fell in love with this Liu Gongzi at first sight?
