Chapter 27: Shen Mingze, Master?
"Qiu Lu, you have been in the mansion for some time, and among these subordinates, there are other people's spies."
Lu Luoxi sat in the pavilion in the courtyard, looked at the people around, and asked Qiu Lu about the situation of the subordinates.
"Yes, but ......"
Qiu Lu's somewhat lazy body leaned against the pillar of the pavilion, but there was a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.
"Keep it for now, and it will be useful in the future."
Lu Luoxi turned the teacup in his hand, not knowing what he was planning.
"Then do you want to control Concubine Qi's people first, after all, we have to investigate some things against Concubine Qi now."
"Do you mean that there are people from other forces, people from the crown prince?"
Lu Luoxi's expression didn't change much, and it seemed that he had expected this.
"This, I don't know very well now, it's a little difficult to check." Qiu Lu was a little helpless.
Lu Luoxi took a sip of the tea in the cup, stood up, looked at the calm Qingchi in front of him, and thought for a while.
"If it's hard to check, let it go first, and people will keep it first, and now there is an important thing for you to do."
Hearing something important, Qiu Lu retracted his lazy body, stood straight, and his tone became serious.
"But at the Princess's command."
"Xi'er, do you remember what she looks like?"
People who practice martial arts have a stronger physique than normal people, and their memory is naturally good.
Qiu Lu thought about it, and Xi'er's appearance had already appeared in his mind.
"Yes."
"Go and bring some of our people, tomorrow afternoon, after she leaves the imperial city, protect her, and Li Lei who is with her."
In order to avoid emergencies, Lu Luoxi deliberately described Li Lei's appearance to Qiu Lu.
"The little one is written down."
After watching Qiu Lu leave, Lu Luoxi picked up the teacup and drank the remaining tea in the cup.
After tasting it, his brows furrowed slightly, as if he didn't taste very good.
As the sun slowly approached the mountains to the west, the sunlight softened, and the breeze blew with a hint of coolness.
Lu Luoxi took Nalan and Mo Lan out of the princess's mansion and walked towards Xuanwu Street.
Looking at the shop in front of him, it was the store that fought with Qi Sinuo for the treasure last time, and it was also the shop of Prime Minister Shen Yangze, Lianyu Jewelry.
"I came here without paying attention, don't you still want to see that Shen Yangze again, but Shen Yangze is indeed a little too handsome."
Just when Lu Luoxi was thinking about it, the voice of the shopkeeper pulled her back to reality.
"Xiaomin has seen Her Royal Highness the eldest princess."
Since the last time, Shen Yangze said that when Lu Luoxi's consumption in the store was free, Shen Jincai, the shopkeeper of the store, remembered Lu Luoxi's appearance.
can be the shopkeeper of the Shen family's shop, Shen Jincai has some eyesight, and he still knows some about his son-in-law.
Shen Mingze usually shows people with a cold image, and he doesn't look at women much.
The last time let him know that Childe was a little interested in this eldest princess.
"No courtesy."
Lu Luoxi was a little surprised, this shopkeeper had some eyesight. This time, he was just traveling lightly, and he was still outside the store, and this person recognized him.
"Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, please come inside."
After Lu Luoxi entered the store with Shen Jincai, he began to look at the jade placed on the bright side of the store, and they all skimmed at a glance.
"These jade stones are difficult to enter the eyes of His Highness, and His Highness will go to the private room on the second floor to wait for a while. I'll go make tea for His Highness, and I'll bring the finest jade and jewelry that I have recently arrived with for His Highness. ”
Lu Luoxi nodded, and then turned around and walked down the stairs to the second floor with Nalan and Mo Lan.
After watching Lu Luoxi go upstairs, Shen Jincai called the next person, and after two words, the next person trotted all the way out of the store.
In the private room on the second floor, Lu Luoxi picked up the teacup of tea that Shen Jincai had just brewed, took a sip, and shook his head.
Not only did he mutter, "This tea almost has the same flavor." ”
"This shopkeeper has a good eye, so he recognizes Her Royal Highness the princess who travels lightly."
"Mainly, our Royal Highness the princess is naturally beautiful and beautiful, which is unforgettable when you see it once."
"Even Lord Shen is estimated to be impressed by our princess's sinking fish and geese, and the moon is shy ......"
Nalan and Mo Lan said a word, and I praised Lu Luoxi in a word.
"Okay, don't be poor." Hearing the footsteps outside, Lu Luoxi interrupted the two.
"Your Royal Highness the eldest princess, this is the newly arrived jade and jewelry, all of which are of the highest quality, please enjoy your highness."
Shen Jincai, after putting the tray in his hand on the table, retreated.
Lu Luoxi looked at the exquisite jade and jewelry in front of him, and was a little uninterested.
I thought to myself, "What's wrong with me, is it because I haven't seen Shen Yangze and I'm a little disappointed?" ”
"These ornaments are so beautiful, do you want to help the princess try them on?"
Hearing Nalan's voice, Lu Luoxi came back to his senses.
"No need, which one you two like, each of you can pick one."
"Slaves don't dare."
After getting along recently, the two knew that Lu Luoxi treated them much better, but they still didn't dare to ask for these valuable items.
Lu Luoxi noticed the change in the two of them, and said with a smile.
"Don't be afraid, you two have suffered a lot with me, pick one and obey the orders of this palace."
When the two of them heard Lu Luoxi say this, they were not restrained.
"Thank you, Your Highness the Princess."
After thanking them, the two stepped forward and picked out a medium-quality ornament in the tray.
"Her Royal Highness the eldest princess is here, why don't you let me know in advance."
Shen Yangze slowly walked into the wing room and sat opposite Lu Luoxi.
Lu Luoxi looked at the smiling Shen Yangze in front of him, and a smile also appeared on his face.
"I'm just here to see if there are any good accessories."
After finishing speaking, Lu Luoxi was a little surprised.
Eh, isn't it supposed to call yourself Hongu, what's going on?
A hint of blush also rose on his face.
"The princess has a favorite ornament, you can take it casually."
Shen Yangze's gentle voice once again reached Lu Luoxi's ears.
Lu Luoxi shook his head, trying to get himself back to normal, and suddenly noticed something.
Shen Yangze just went upstairs, and he didn't even hear the sound, with his current ear strength, shouldn't he, is Shen Yangze a master?
"Is there something wrong with the princess?"
Seeing Lu Luoxi shaking his head, Shen Yangze's voice carried a hint of concern.
"Now that I've met Lord Shen, I just happen to have some business problems that I want to ask."
Lu Luoxi hurriedly changed the topic, not letting the self who had just woken up fall deeper and deeper.
"But it doesn't hurt to talk about it, Shen must know everything."
"How is the tea and wine business in the city now?"
After listening to Lu Luoxi's question, Shen Yangze smiled indifferently and began to introduce.
"The tea and wine business in the city is mainly in the hands of the Qi family, and the rest is basically in the hands of your Zhao family."
"But our Zhao family, business is not doing well at the moment, can Lord Shen know what the reason is?"
Lu Luoxi wondered if he could get some useful information from Shen Yangze.
When Shen Yangze heard this question, he paused, and after thinking about it, he said:
"Maybe it has something to do with your Zhao family's bookkeeper."
