Chapter Twenty-Six: Shuangshu

Lu Chen looked at the two women and admired them, since ancient times, they were weaker than men and women, but despite this, the two girls still stood up, which was enough to see their chivalry and courage. Lu Chen was interested and looked at the two girls carefully.

The woman who knocked on the door had a good face, a tall and thin figure, a long indigo dress, white deerskin boots, and her hair was combed very neatly.

The room was quiet for a moment, only to see a maid open the door, and a woman covered in jewels turned sideways to block the people behind her, smiled at the woman who knocked on the door and said, "I'm disturbing Miss Wu, it's all trivial matters in the house, it's really funny." ”

"It turned out to be Mrs. Gu, Miss Nian and I were picking out jewelry next door, and when I heard the quarrel, I was afraid that something big would happen, so I just had no accident." The woman known as Miss Wu said and pulled her companion over.

The woman behind her seemed to be helpless, but she was still smiling, and said to the woman, "Excuse me Mrs. Gu, it's okay, Min'er and I have other things, if Mrs. Gu has nothing else to do, the two of us will leave first." ”

Lu Chen looked at the girl known as Miss Nian, she was more like a standard official lady than Miss Wu, with a pink face and red lips, a delicate posture, a jasper hairpin, and two light yellow earrings, which looked very harmonious under a dress of the same color, and the eyes under the willow eyebrows were particularly bright and moving.

The woman saw that the two of them were so interested, and she didn't say anything more and closed the door.

The woman blocked the others and didn't see it clearly, Lu Chen was tall, and he was not far from the door, so he could see it clearly, in addition to the so-called Mrs. Gu and a few maids and servants in the room, there was also a woman in pink clothes who was knocked unconscious to the ground, so she didn't make a sound.

"Miss Nian, Miss Wu, don't come unharmed." Seeing that the two of them turned around to leave, Jin Chengyuan took the first step of the shopkeeper and said loudly.

"Young Master Jin, it's polite, it's not very convenient here, and it's lunch time, why don't you go to the Treasure Pavilion for dinner?" Miss Nawu invited.

Lu Chen was a little uncomfortable, four lonely men and widows, although in recent years, men and women have been liberalized a lot, but in case there are any gossips that are still not good for women. It's nothing that the two of them are men, this Miss Wu is really cool.

But looking at the reactions of the two sides, they should know each other well, so Lu Chen did not shirk it, and the four of them went to the Treasure Pavilion together.

"Isn't this Young Master Jin, Miss Wu and Miss Nian, there is a day when I haven't come, and the hundred crows are empty, the four upstairs, please? This son is a raw face, and the son's surname? The shopkeeper was settling accounts behind the counter, and when he saw a few people entering the door, he hurriedly got up and came forward.

"Lu, Lu Gongzi. Shopkeeper, I brought a new friend here, you can ask Master Hou to use your heart to pick some signature dishes, in addition, peach blossom stuff, two pots. Jin Chengyuan instructed the shopkeeper to take the three of them upstairs to the box.

After each of them sat down, Jin Chengyuan introduced with a smile, "This is Lu Chen and Lu Gongzi, the third son of the Lu family in Chang'an, and also my new good friend, a young talent, and a big celebrity in front of the emperor." ”

However, Lu Chen was a little thin-skinned, raised the wine glass in his hand and said modestly, "Two young ladies, don't listen to Brother Jin joke about me, if there is anything that I can't do when I first arrive, I hope to bear with me, it is Lu Chen's luck to meet today." After speaking, he drank the wine in the cup. Before, whether it was walking the rivers and lakes or mediating with the ministers of the DPRK and China, Lu Chen was at ease, but today I don't know what happened, and he couldn't control the scene.

It was Jin Chengyuan who played a round and answered, "Miss Nian and Miss Wu look at my brother Lu, and their character and appearance are all the best choices, if you add talent and learning, they will almost be better than me." ”

The girl surnamed Wu sneered and said with a smile, "Jin Gongzi, is this praising Lu Gongzi or yourself, if you want me to say, as soon as Lu Gongzi comes, the four major princes in the capital will be changed to five, if the vote is re-elected, this top position, Jin Gongzi may not be able to keep it." ”

Jin Chengyuan didn't get angry after hearing this, but said with a smile, "If you talk about talent and learn from me, and if you talk about appearance, who loses and who wins, and when it comes to martial arts, at least Miss Wu, you can't beat me." After speaking, he snorted, and saw that the two were familiar with each other.

Without waiting for the girl surnamed Wu to answer, Jin Chengyuan said to Lu Chen again, "I haven't finished introducing it yet, Brother Lu, this woman who speaks wildly is Wu Min'er, the daughter of the martial arts servant of the Ministry of War. But Brother Lu rest assured, Miss Wu didn't say to her friend that the number of the capital is in the narrow sense. He gave a thumbs up.

Wu Min'er rushed into the city with satisfaction and nodded, and said to Lu Chen, "This is about the same, Lu Gongzi, don't worry, Jin Chengyuan and I have fought since childhood, and we are not brothers and sisters but like brothers and sisters, so we are somewhat open-mouthed." Fortunately. ”

Jin Chengyuan then introduced the woman next to Wu Min'er, "This is Miss Nian, the daughter of the Ministry of Industry, Nian Fu, a famous talented woman in the capital, she also has a hidden skill that you will never guess." ”

Lu Chen became interested, "Oh? Brother Jin also sold Guanzi, could it be that Miss Nian also practiced martial arts? ”

After saying that, she also shook her head, Wu Min'er looked at her body and walking form, or even if she heard the sound of breathing, she could tell that she was a person who practiced martial arts, but she was not an ordinary person at first glance, but she looked like she had more exercise than ordinary official ladies, and she was not weak.

"Brother Lu is gone, Miss Nian is especially good at jade carving, when the White Queen was still the crown princess, the phoenix crown she wore when she married the prince was made by Miss Nian herself, it is said that it is gorgeous and abnormal, and it is still in the collection of the inner house. Occasionally, the hairpin carved by Miss Nian herself comes out, which can cause the ladies to rush it. Jin Chengyuan admired.

Lu Chen was impressed by Nian Fu, such a lady who seemed to be weak and weak, could calm down and study such a laborious thing, and he must really like it.

Nian Fu smiled at Jin Chengyuan and said to Lu Chen, "Jin Gongzi is too elevated, he has admired Lu Gongzi's name for a long time, and the map of mountains and rivers is magnificent, Nian Fu has long wanted to get acquainted." ”

Lu Chen didn't expect Nian Fu to know the map of mountains and rivers for thousands of miles, and when he was a teenager, he waved it on a whim, and after causing some public opinion, he was handed over by his grandfather, but he didn't expect Nian Fu to know it as a boudoir woman. "Miss Nian laughed, she was naughty and ignorant when she was a child, and now she wants to get the painting back and hang it at home, reminding herself every day not to be arrogant."

Nian Fu smiled slightly, "Painting, Lu Gongzi can't find it back." But it did hang up, just in my study. ”

Lu Chen was shocked by Nian Fu's straightforwardness, he was slightly stunned, his cheeks were ruddy and slightly embarrassed, "Uh...... It's embarrassing, if Miss Nian is willing to give it back to me......"

Nian Fu interrupted Lu Chen's words, and said with a slightly sly smile in his eyes, "Master Lu, don't think about it, I don't want to." ”

Lu Chen sighed helplessly, then calmed down, looked at Nian Fu with a smile and said, "Miss Nian is credible, within a year, I will definitely let Miss Nian personally return the painting to me." ”

Nian Fu smiled slightly, but still said calmly, "Then I don't believe it, let's look at Lu Gongzi's ability." ”

The two of them were talking energetically, but Jin Chengyuan and Wu Min'er next to them were full of interest, looking at Lu Chen's rare lack of calm for a while, and looking at Nian Fu with a smile on his face for a while, and no one spoke for a while. waited for the two of them to finish before Wu Min'er answered, "Ah Fu, why didn't I know that you still hid Lu Gongzi's painting, and isn't it the first time you two have met, why do you seem to be like no one else can intervene." There's something wrong with you two. ”

Jin Chengyuan also nodded again and again, "Yes, Brother Lu, every time I see you, I talk eloquently and confidently, why are you still blushing today, why are you still choked by Miss Nian, there is a situation." ”

Lu Chen looked at Nian Fu, his eyes were bright, and his smile was bright with a slight shyness, but he was not pretentious at all, and his heart moved.

Before he could answer, a knock on the door interrupted the feelings of the room, and the shopkeeper brought Xiao Er over to serve the food. When the others retreated, Lu Chen also took the opportunity to change the topic, "Are the two young ladies going to Allure to buy jewelry today?" Is there anyone who catches the eye? The woman in the shy jade court is Mrs. Gu, but Gu Shangshu's wife? ”

Jin Chengyuan didn't say anything more, pricked up his ears and turned his head to look at the two.

Wu Min'er answered, "In a few days, it will be the birthday of the grandchild of the Shi Shangshu family of the Ministry of Rites, and the two of us want to go shopping and choose a gift for her." The sound of the room next to us is so loud, we walk the rivers and lakes people pay the most attention to the road is uneven to draw a knife to help, what if the next door fights and hurts someone, I didn't hold back for a while, so I went over to knock on the door......"

The more Wu Min'er spoke, her voice became smaller and smaller, and she seemed to feel a little lacking in confidence.

Jin Chengyuan quipped, "You are still walking the rivers and lakes, and you are also drawing a knife to help." You forgot that this is the capital, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, there is naturally a high top if something happens, just you, and line up first. ”

That Wu Min'er herself felt that something was inappropriate, and then said, "Oh, Ah Fu has already persuaded me, didn't you hold back for a while, presumably Mrs. Gu won't worry about my little girl." ”

Jin Chengyuan picked up a mouthful of Babao sauce duck and tasted it, and said, "I'm not afraid that she will worry about you as a little woman, and I'm afraid that the person surnamed Gu will worry about your father." ”

"Hey, it's already out anyway, so what should I do, I'll go back to my father in a while" Wu Min'er also broke the jar and broke it, and she was no longer entangled.

As a result, before he ate two mouthfuls of food, he was interested again, and said, "Do you see who Mrs. Gu is arguing with, those maids and servants are blocking it tightly, I don't even see if there is anyone behind, if my father really beats me, how wronged I am." ”

Jin Chengyuan answered, "I didn't see clearly, I'm too far away, what about Brother Lu?" ”。

Lu Chen glanced at Nian Fu and said, "I didn't see it clearly, I only looked at the clothes and estimated that it was a woman, and I didn't know anything else." ”

Having said that, Lu Chen had already arranged for someone to secretly investigate the matter, and he thought, maybe this was an opportunity to completely subdue Gu Shubian.
