After Liu Zhiyuan followed Master Lu to the capital, he first went to Shangshu Mansion to visit Master Shangshu, and then asked non-stop about the location of Li Youran's shop.

was full of joy, but he didn't expect to see Li Youran talking and laughing at a stunning-looking man as soon as he entered the door, and he was playing there, Liu Zhiyuan felt very uncomfortable.

"Liu Gongzi, why are you here?"

Li Youran turned his head and saw that it was Liu Zhiyuan, he couldn't hide the surprise in his eyes, and hurriedly smiled and got up to greet him, Liu Zhiyuan's heart warmed up again.

"It's a long story." Liu Zhiyuan didn't elaborate, but looked at the shop and said, "Leisurely, has business been good lately?" ”

Liu Zhiyuan was very surprised, he didn't expect Li Youran to open such a big shop, and opened up three major houses in a row, and it was in the most luxurious area.

You must know that in the capital, where every inch of land is expensive, it is difficult to do it even if you have money, Liu Zhiyuan guessed that there must be nobles behind Li Youran.

But Li Youran didn't mention it, and he didn't ask, after all, everyone has their own secrets.

"People in the capital are very strange, they don't buy cheap ones, but rush to buy expensive ones."

Li Youran smiled, and turned to look at Kong Qidao: "This is my friend, Liu Zhiyuan, Liu Gongzi." ”

"This is Kong Qi, the master I invited to help, and his business ability is super strong."

Hearing Li Youran's introduction, the unhappiness in Liu Zhiyuan's heart disappeared, and it turned out that he had misunderstood.

"Liu Gongzi, hello."

Seeing Kong Qi take the initiative to say hello, Liu Zhiyuan hurriedly bowed in response.

"I'm tired of Gongzi Kong."

Kong Qi saw Liu Zhiyuan standing in the position of the home court and said this, raised his eyebrows, and looked at Liu Zhiyuan quietly.

Seeing that he is dressed in Confucian clothes, he must be a scholar. The shoes on the feet are inlaid with precious stones, and the family should not be bad.

When he left his hometown and came to the capital, he either took the spring exam or defected to the door.

When Kong Qi was looking at Liu Zhiyuan, Liu Zhiyuan was also looking at Kong Qi from the corner of his eye, intentionally or unintentionally.

is even more handsome than a woman, and the clothes on his body are actually bright red, extremely charming, this man looks so serious.

And the dignified seven-foot man actually mixed in the pile of women to sell jewelry, Liu Zhiyuan had a bold guess in his heart about Kong Qi's identity, but he was not sure.

It is said that the capital is prosperous, and it is also rotten, Liu Zhiyuan thought that he still had to find an opportunity to remind Li Youran not to be deceived.

At noon, Li leisurely invited guests and set up a banquet in the welcome pavilion on this street.

"I didn't expect you to worship Shangshu's disciples." Li Youran poured tea and continued: "Lord Shangshu's reputation among the people is still good, but it is not very popular with Emperor Lao'er, aren't you afraid of delaying the next meeting and palace test?" ”

Li Youran also heard Yun Yingying mention that Lord Shangshu stood on the side of His Royal Highness the Second Prince, and was not liked by the emperor Lao'er. On the contrary, it is the prime minister who stands with His Royal Highness the Third Prince, and he is very popular, and I heard that he has attracted a lot of customers recently, which can be described as a good market.

"In officialdom, there are changes every day."

Liu Zhiyuan was reluctant to let Li Youran serve him tea and water, so he hurriedly took the teapot in Li Youran's hand and continued.

"As long as Lord Shangshu is dedicated to the people, it is enough."

Under Shangshumen, Liu Zhiyuan just followed Master Lu, after all, he was just a lifter and had no experience.

He only knows that Lord Shangshu is dedicated to the people and does down-to-earth things, and doing things for such people, even if the development is limited, he feels that it is worth it.

"By the way, I already know about the bookstore. Don't worry, I'll get justice for you. ”

Even if Wang Xiangyu patted his ass and left, this matter would not end here, Liu Zhiyuan was determined to get justice for Li Youran.

"It's good to do it in moderation, after all, they are not parties."

Li Youran knew that Liu Zhiyuan had good intentions, so he refused very tactfully. She will do this matter herself, and let Wang Xiangyu repay it a hundred times and ten times.

During the conversation, the meal was ready.

"Try this Beijing roast duck, I've been fascinated by it since I came to the capital."

Seeing the roast duck on the table, Li Youran's eyes were almost straight.

The surface of the roast duck is golden and buttery, crispy and fragrant on the outside and tender on the inside, which has a special flavor and deliciousness.

The way to eat roast duck is to first cut it into thin slices with a sharp knife, coat it with sweet noodle sauce with a baked lotus leaf cake, and then put chives, garlic paste, roast duck slices and other rolls and eat it, which is extremely fragrant and delicious.

Li Youran took a piece of dough, picked a piece of white and big duck meat, and dipped it in some sauce. Take another piece of red duck skin, and serve it with green cucumber shreds and white green onions.

She wrapped it into a duck meat roll, first gave one to Liu Zhiyuan, and then quickly rolled one for herself and stuffed it into her mouth.

The flesh is silky, the duck skin is crispy, and the cucumber is refreshing. The silky flesh is accompanied by the freshness of the cucumber and rotates all the way to the depths of the stomach.

"It tastes really good, and it has a different flavor."

The roast duck was delicious, not to mention the roast duck that Li Youran rolled up himself, Liu Zhiyuan ate a roast duck roll and praised it, and then followed Li Youran's example and rolled another one.

"Eat it while it's hot, it won't taste good when it's cold."

Liu Zhiyuan saw Li Youran's appearance of a little gluttonous cat, and knew that she did not treat her as an outsider.

Compared with those ladies who pretend to be squirming and twisting, Li Youran is always so free and easy, which makes people feel very comfortable.

Li Youran was not polite, took the roast duck roll rolled by Liu Zhiyuan, stuffed it into his mouth, and then beckoned Liu Zhiyuan to eat quickly.

After a meal, the relationship between the two went further. I don't know if it's because they're huddling together in a foreign land for warmth, or if the two get along very casually and are no longer rigid.

"Leisurely, do you like it here?"

"Of course I like it, not only is it easy to make money here, but there are also a lot of delicious foods."

Li Youran didn't think much about it, rubbed his stomach, and walked slowly.

"I like it too."

In fact, Liu Zhiyuan didn't have the intention of staying for a long time, he just felt that he could learn things and broaden his horizons by following Master Lu.

But seeing that Li Youran liked it, he had the idea of staying here, and was determined to fight for a piece of the world here.

Now, Liu Zhiyuan seems to have learned smartly, and he no longer forces Li Youran to ask what he thinks of him.

He felt that instead of breaking the casserole and asking to the end and forcing Li Youran to make a choice, it was better to get along like this. Since there is no love at first sight, it is better to slowly fall in love for a long time.

After Liu Zhi left, early the next morning, the concubine of Lord Shangshu came to the jewelry shop.

"Your name is Li Youran."

"Li Youran, a folk girl, has seen Miss Jiang." Li Youran curtsied.

Lord Shangshu is a second-grade official position, not to mention for ordinary people like Li Youran, even if the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Government see it, they have to give three points.

The eldest lady of the Shangshu family, Li Youran naturally had to treat her respectfully and politely.

I don't blame Li Youran for being dog-legged, after all, in this world where you will be dragged to behead at every turn, and human life is as cheap as mustard, you still have to be careful many times.

However, if he was ridden on his neck and, it would be too deceitful, and Li Youran didn't plan to swallow it.

"No courtesy, no need to be polite."

Miss Jiang is not the same as the eldest lady in Li Youran's imagination, not only does she not have the slightest value, but she is very approachable.

"I heard Liu Zhiyuan, a new guest at home, say that he has a friend who has opened a shop here, and the things in the shop are very beautiful, so he came to bother."

Jiang Qianqian wanted to speak and stopped, and finally said to the maid next to her.

"Our young lady is not very good at choosing jewelry, I hope the girl can help recommend it."

"Don't talk about Miss Jiang, even though I always deal with jewelry on weekdays, if I choose it by myself, I don't know which one to choose. Miss Jiang, don't be afraid, let's choose slowly, there are many people with many opinions, and it is good to choose the one you like. ”

Li Youran didn't expect that the young lady from a wealthy family would have such troubles, so he said with a smile.

"Miss Jiang's skin is slightly yellow, not suitable for too red and bright colors, let's take a look at the blue gem first!"

Jiang Qianqian usually doesn't have any playmates, and most of the young ladies who get close to her in order to tie up with her father follow her, say some flattering good things, and never give sincere advice.

When she saw Li Youran being so honest, she had a good impression.

"Miss Jiang has a goose egg face that is round, and this earring is diamond-shaped, and wearing it can make your face look less round visually, which is very suitable for you."

Li Youran said and personally got started and put on this pair of earrings for Jiang Qianqian.

Looking at herself in the mirror, Jiang Qianqian also felt that this pair of earrings was very suitable for her.

I always used to wear bright red gemstones, which made her skin black and red, but blue gemstones, which made her skin look fairer.

And the earrings of this shape are indeed stretching the vision, and her face looks slender.

"I'm tired of Miss Li."

Jiang Qianqian saw that Li Youran sincerely chose jewelry for her, so she was grateful.

"Miss Zhang is too polite, just call me leisurely. Let's try this head, I think it should be perfect for you. ”

Li Youran is a full profiteer, and seeing that Jiang Qianqian is suitable for this type of jewelry, he thought that he had bought a set of very expensive jewelry similar to it a few days ago, so he hurriedly pulled Jiang Qianqian to try it on. I thought that if it was done, I would make a lot of money.

"This is a diamond, which is not available in China or Fanwai, and it is transported from the Western Ocean across the ocean."

Li Youran opened the box and saw that it was shining brightly, very dazzling, and inside was a whole diamond earring, necklace, and hairpin.

"Diamonds don't pick skin tones, and if you wear them with this blue gemstone hairpin, the effect will be better."

"You see, wearing these earrings, your face instantly brightens a lot."

"This necklace is a bit bulky, and although it looks good, it is definitely uncomfortable to wear on weekdays. If it's an informal occasion, it's better not to bring it. ”

After trying on a whole set of jewelry, Jiang Qianqian's whole person was shining with the brilliance of diamonds, so beautiful.

Jiang Qianqian looked at herself in the mirror, and the whole person began to become shy, she couldn't believe that it was herself.

"Little Miss, you look much better than those red and green ones with this set of jewelry, in the future, you will bring this ...... What a stone and that sapphire. ”

The little maid said very excitedly on the side.

"It's diamonds." Li Youran smiled and continued: "Miss Jiang, you can also pick more cold colors and wear less warm colors when you wear clothes in the future. ”

Hearing Li Youran's words, Jiang Qianqian asked suspiciously.

"What is a cool color? What are warm colors? ”

Seeing this, Li Youran made another introduction, and it was not until Jiang Qianqian completely understood that he stopped.

"No, I'm so thirsty. Miss Jiang, do you want to drink water? ”

Li leisurely drank the tea, then looked at Jiang Qianqian and asked.

"Give me a drink, too."

Jiang Qianqian has never seen such a casual woman as Li Youran, and being with her gives people a very comfortable feeling.

Li Youran didn't seem to treat her as a young lady of the Shang Shu's family, but an ordinary friend.

"Miss, no, you only drink the ...... of Jiangnan tribute"

"It's okay, when you're in a good mood, you can drink anything." Jiang Qianqian waved her hand.

At this time, Li Youran didn't know that the high-ranking Miss Jiang had actually included her in the ranks of friends, and even close friends.

"Miss Jiang, you are welcome to come often when you have time."

Li Youran packed the selected jewelry and said with a smile.

Today, she took Liu Zhiyuan's financial road, and the things that Miss Shangshu bought in one go to the door caught up with her turnover for a week. That set of diamonds alone would have earned her a full six hundred taels of silver.

"Miss Li, I don't know if I can ask you to go shopping for clothes and rouge gouache when I have time."

Jiang Qianqian thought to herself that if there was such a friend to buy things together, not only could she buy something she wanted, but she could also buy a good mood, so she took the initiative to throw an olive branch to Li Youran.

"Okay, I'll give you milk then...... Drink tea and eat snacks. ”

Li Youran wanted to talk about milk tea, but he reacted halfway through it, so he hurriedly changed his words.

Think about it carefully, since I came to this world, I have bought two sets of clothes with Yun Ying, and I haven't gone shopping with the same sex.

Suddenly, Li Youran felt a lonely feeling in his heart, who can understand the pain of his girlfriend without him, but it's a pity that Yun Yingying is a nervous person, otherwise, she can be regarded as a good girlfriend.

"That's good."

Someone in Jiang Qianqian's shop agreed, and she smiled happily.

"In a few days, the family will have to tailor the clothes, and when the time comes, can I ask Miss Li to go to the house to help me choose some materials?"

"Of course."

Li Youran saw Jiang Qianqian's cautious look, and felt that the young lady from a wealthy family was also very pitiful, and she didn't even have anyone to help pick things, so she couldn't bear to refuse and agreed.

"Ahh

Yun Yingying, who was squatting at the Yunlai Inn to catch the junior, suddenly sneezed three times.

Just as she wanted to say who was scolding her, she saw a slender woman walk into the Yunlai Inn.
