Chapter 143: Beauty is a Treasure
The sound broke the stagnancy.
The snow mist cleared and the snow fell to the ground.
After Lian Xiaojun stopped, he leaned over to salute without looking up.
Yuan Ji thought of the scene when he first met Li Min and retracted his gaze.
Although he is not good-looking, the people he sees are all beautiful, such as the eldest lady, he looked at Li Minglou, but saw Li Minglou looking at Lian Xiaojun who leaned over to give a salute, and his beautiful face was full of surprise.
The young lady will also feel amazed when she sees a good-looking person, and the thought flashed, and she saw Li Minglou turn around and enter the house.
Lian Xiaojun got up with a salute, only to see the back of a girl, with a snow-white dress and black hair.
"Lower the curtains." She said, "Please come to the door." ”
When she turned around and entered the house without waiting for the other party to finish the salute, Yuanji was ready to send off the guests, it turned out that it was not that he did not see the guests, but that he wanted the curtain to be blocked, and he responded by putting the curtain down and stretching out his hand to Lian Xiaojun to invite.
The children who were playing in the courtyard also moved over, and stood on both sides of the curtain in a strange and awkward manner, with the manners they had taught but had not learned before, like real attendants, but their eyes were fixed on the guests.
Lian Xiaojun walked over and stood outside the door, with a long body and jade eyes.
He saw the woman sitting upright behind the curtain of gold and silver threads, and her gaze fell on him through the curtain.
"Who are you?" She asked.
Lian Xiaojun said: "I am a businessman, and I have treasures to sell to the young lady." ”
The woman inside didn't immediately ask about Qizhen curiously, and even Xiaojun couldn't see her face clearly, but she could see her eyes roaming over her, just like these children standing outside the door curtain.
Lian Xiaojun was not embarrassed, he was looked down upon, and he was used to the people around him looking at him and forgetting to speak, falling into an eerie silence.
However, I heard that this young lady Wu is also a beauty, and she forgot to speak even the child in her arms when she walked on the street.
I thought she was used to looking at beauties in the mirror every day without losing her mind.
"Curiosity is what I mentioned in my letter." Lian Xiaojun took the initiative to say.
The woman inside spoke, but the question was still not Qizhen: "Where are you from?" ”
Lian Xiaojun took out a famous post: "My ancestral home is Tongjiang, Bazhong, but I moved to Shangzhou a few years ago to do some north-south business. ”
He took out the name card, and Yuan Ji was about to stretch out his hand, but two children had already rushed to take it and lift the curtain and go in.
Lian Xiaojun's gaze moved away from him after seeing the gauze curtain, and landed on the name post, as serious as the person watching him, and then he was silent like a distraction.
Just as he was about to speak again, the woman inside took the initiative to speak.
"What's in danger of me?" She asked, her gaze falling back on him.
Lian Xiaojun said: "The Gwangju government levied a lot of money and goods on the families. ”
"What does this have to do with me?" The female voice inside asked, her body swinging, as if she was a little bored.
Either she was really bored, or someone had already told her, Lian Xiaojun thought, and continued: "Gwangju Mansion belongs to the young lady." ”
The gaze in the gauze curtain flickered, seemed to smile, and then asked, "Then why is this dangerous?" ”
Lian Xiaojun was a little surprised, and said after a pause: "Because Mrs. Wu, you have no money." ”
Laughter rang out from within.
Lian Xiaojun had heard many women laughing, and they showed their best manners and voices in front of him, but now this woman's laughter was the best he had ever heard.
The laughter soon stopped.
"And you're still going to sell me the curiosities?" She asked, her eyes and voice unabashedly questioning, "How can I buy it if I don't have money?" ”
Lian Xiaojun said: "This treasure doesn't need the young lady to use money, the young lady has other things to pay for besides money." ”
The woman inside smiled again, and finally asked the question that should have been asked in the first place: "What is it?" ”
Lian Xiaojun said: "Me." ”
He looked ahead, and even though there was a gauze curtain in front of him, his eyes were full of affection, and the gauze curtain was about to melt when he saw it.
Yuan Ji frowned, the eldest lady has grown up, is it time for someone to be seduced?
The noble and powerful were tempted, and their children were no exception, and men were given beautiful maidservants, stunning prostitutes, sturdy guards, and clever and lovely maids.
This is a temptation, or rather a gift, which is very common for Motoyoshi, and he has personally given this temptation and gift to others.
The children standing on both sides were very happy, they looked at Lian Xiaojun, and felt that such a good-looking person was indeed a treasure.
The woman behind the curtain didn't smile, her eyes looked at him as if she was seriously estimating the price of this treasure, and after a moment she nodded: "I want to think about it, you go back first." ”
Even Xiaojun didn't say anything more, and the response was: "Then I'll go back and wait for the good news of the young lady." Leaning down, he looked at a ten-year-old girl with a red face in front of him, "I live in the eastern part of the city, do you remember?" Look for me there when the young lady thinks about it. ”
The girl's whole face turned red, and she couldn't remember how to talk and how to give a salute when she saw people on weekdays, she nodded, and clumsily curtsied: "Don't worry, I remember." ”
Lian Xiaojun smiled at her, stood up straight, bowed to the gauze curtain again, and turned to leave.
Lian Xiaojun had already put on his hat when he walked out of the courtyard gate here, and no one paid too much attention to his appearance along the way.
The companion who was waiting outside the door immediately stepped forward, and the companion was in his thirties, dressed in simple clothes, like an entourage.
"How?" He asked anxiously.
Lian Xiaojun walked forward and said, "The young lady said to think about it." ”
Think about it? This answer was still not reassuring, and his companion chased after him: "How long do you want to go?" Do you really think about it or be polite? ”
They talked and left, the men sitting in the snow outside the door of Mrs. Wu retracted their vigilant gaze, after seeing the true face of Mrs. Wu, the merchants no longer gathered here, after Mrs. Wu Shao built a hero temple for the rangers, the rangers also walked a lot, and now there are only a few people left in front of the door.
There must always be someone to stay by the side of Mrs. Wu, even if she can't make great achievements in the Hero Temple in the future, it is chivalrous to be able to stick to her heart.
Sitting in the carriage, his companion looked at the carriage again, closed the curtain, and the carriage swayed forward.
"Have you seen the young lady?" Only then did he ask seriously.
Lian Xiaojun nodded and shook her head: "As soon as she saw me, she turned around and went in, and then talked to me through the curtain." ”
The companion didn't feel strange: "That's because you are too beautiful, and the young lady is also beautiful, and beauties always don't want to see beauties." ”
This kind of thing has happened before, even with Xiaojun present, some women covered their faces, saying that they were ashamed of themselves.
"I think this business can be discussed." Lian Xiaojun said, "When I pointed out that Mrs. Wu was in control of Gwangju Mansion, she did not refute or guard against it, but readily admitted it. ”
The companion nodded: "That's good." Then he smiled again and looked at Lian Xiaojun's face, "What's more, who can be reluctant to give up a treasure like you?" ”
The wind blew the curtain, and the light and dark light flashed on Lian Xiaojun's face, like a jade man.
There was no emotion in his eyes, and there was no pride or shame in the compliments of his appearance.
Since fate is like this, of course, it is necessary to enjoy it calmly.
"Miss, I'll check his origins." Motoyoshi Road.
The curtain had been rolled up, and Li Minglou reappeared in front of everyone, and the children were laughing and laughing under the porch, exchanging excitement because of seeing Lian Xiaojun before.
Fang Er said: "I've already asked people to follow." ”
Li Minglou shook the name card with it: "No need to check, this person, we know." ”
Know? Yuan Ji Fang was puzzled.
"His surname is Lian, Tongjiang Lian, and he is my mother's mother's mother." Li Minglou looked down at the name post, ran his fingers over the upright ligature, and then looked up at the mirror, "He looks a little like his mother." ”
When he raised his head, Li Minglou was stunned, and the appearance of his mother, which had been blurred in his memory, was clear for a moment.
