Chapter 20: Nobles

Xie Ziqi walked neatly, turned over on the horse, and disappeared in a blink of an eye, Jiang Fuyue and Shen Chuan glanced at each other, and then they both staggered their eyes a little embarrassed.

He looked around, pointed to a tea stall, and said, "Madam, let's go and rest." ”

Jiang Fuyue nodded: "Lord Shen wants to go over and sit together?" ”

After all, the two of them are acquaintances, and if she goes over by herself regardless of it, it will seem that she is rude.

Shen Chuan also nodded: "It's okay, Madame, please first." ”

So the two went to the tea stall together and sat down a few seats apart.

Frightened to order tea, Gu Yu looked around, pointed to the house diagonally opposite the tea stall and said: "The slave maid took a look, this alley, the outside is close to the downtown area, it is inevitable that it will be noisy, and the inside is a little far away, and the location of this house is good!" ”

Jiang Fuyue also nodded.

Shen Chuan looked in the direction of her finger and said with a smile: "Girl, this is the house where I live now." ”

Gu Yu looked surprised.

It turned out to be their own house!

With nothing to do, Shen Chuan simply took the initiative to provoke the conversation: "Speaking of which, it is thanks to a noble person to be able to live in this mansion in the future. ”

"Xu yes...... Three years ago, at that time, Zaixia had just entered Beijing, with little money and no friends, so he urgently needed a place to stay, so he found this place after looking for it. ”

"Although the rent here is high, but the location is really good, there is something to do in Beijing, if you live in a remote place, I am afraid that you will have to waste a lot of effort on the road every day, and it is inevitable to eat by mistake, so I thought about it, can I meet the owner of this house, and talk about the price."

"That noble man is really generous, knowing that I am not rich, he actually directly lowered the rent by 30%, and he can pay it monthly, which is really a relief for the urgent need......"

And three years have passed, and the noble man has not said anything about raising prices.

If it weren't for the fact that people came to collect the rent every month, he would almost have wondered if the noble man had forgotten that he still had such a house.

When Gu Yu heard this, he snorted and laughed: "I didn't expect Lord Shen's luck to be quite good!" ”

"Yes," Shen Chuan also smiled, "If it wasn't for this nobleman's help, I'm afraid I would have had to sleep on the streets." ”

His eyebrows are warm, and he does not shy away from talking about his embarrassing past, and he can even joke about it lightly.

Jiang Fuyue secretly sighed in her heart that Shen Chuan's heart was extraordinary.

At this time, he came over with tea, poured a cup for Jiang Fuyue first, then turned around to pour it for Shen Chuan, and finally took half a cup with Gu Yu to clean the tea.

The entrance of the tea brought a different kind of sweetness, and Jiang Fuyue couldn't help but raise her eyebrows: "This sweet water alley is really worthy of its name." ”

Shen Chuan smiled and said, "Yes, I've lived here for a long time, and I'm a little tired of drinking water outside." ”

Jiang Fuyue smiled silently.

That's not a good thing to say.

After drinking a cup of tea and chatting a few words, the carriage of the Jinguo Mansion came.

The two-wheeled carriage was a little out of place in this simple alley, and as soon as it appeared, many people looked towards the carriage.

"Fuyue!" Sun Jingke kicked the door open, and before the coachman could set up the footstool, she had already jumped out of the carriage neatly.

Jiang Fuyue got up with a smile and walked over to her: "I thought it would take a while longer, but I didn't expect you to come quite quickly." ”

Sun Jingke affectionately grabbed her arm and said, "Xie Ziqi said that you are waiting to eat with me, can I not hurry up?" ”

After speaking, Sun Jingke turned around and looked around: "Good and decent, why did you come here?" ”

"I have a friend who is going to Beijing, I'll see if there is an empty house that can make a place for her to stay," Jiang Fuyue didn't hide it, "As a result, every family has a master." ”

Sun Jingke let out an "oh" and said; "It's okay, there are many good houses in the capital, when will your friend enter Beijing? If you're in a hurry, I have a few empty houses here, so I can borrow you for emergency first! ”

Jiang Fuyue shook her head and said, "Don't worry, I'll just look for it slowly." ”

Sun Jingke nodded, and then put the matter behind him: "Then let's go!" There are a lot of places to eat on the street outside, and they all taste good, you haven't been to a restaurant much in the past three years, so we have to eat well today! ”

After that, Sun Jingke pulled Jiang Fuyue and left.

Both of them had already walked out of a distance, and they wanted to wait for their wife to praise them, but Xie Ziqi, who was completely ignored, turned around with a resentful face, greeted Shen Chuan, and told him to follow.

Shen Chuan's face was a little weird, he looked at Jiang Fuyue's figure with a complicated gaze.

"What's wrong?"

Shen Chuan pursed his lips and said, "Do you know...... This Mrs. Gu's maiden name? ”

Xie Ziqi nodded, seeing that Jiang Fuyue and Sun Jingke had already walked out of a distance, then he lowered his voice and said, "The eldest girl of the Jiang family, Jiang Fuyue...... What does this do, you ask? ”

Jiang Fuyue......

Thinking of the name on the contract, the corners of Shen Chuan's mouth twitched slightly, then he took a deep breath and closed his eyes.

The nobleman is in front of him......

"What's wrong with you?" Xie Ziqi's face was puzzled.

He had always felt that Shen Chuan was young, but his mind was heavier than that of a seventy or eighty-year-old person, and this was the first time he had seen such an obvious expression on Shen Chuan's face.

"It's nothing," Shen Chuan took a step, "let's go." ”

As Xie Ziqi said, not far from Sweet Water Lane is a bustling market, with rows of shops and people coming and going on the street, which is very lively.

Shen Chuan lives in Sweet Water Lane, and often has to go out to eat, and he knows which restaurant on this street is delicious, plus the nobles are in front of him, Shen Chuan directly took everyone to the most expensive restaurant on the whole street, Baiwei Zhai.

Baiwei Zhai is very magnificent, even the gate is larger than others, and the number of people entering and exiting here is also the most, just standing at the door, you can smell the smell of food coming from inside.

Everyone went in together, and Xiao Er saw that they were dressed extraordinarily, so he hurriedly greeted them, but there was a little embarrassed look on his face: "A few guest officers, I'm really sorry, the private rooms have all been booked out, but there is still a compartment left on the second floor, if a few guest officers don't mind......"

The private room space is private and quiet, and it is very popular with the rich and noble, compared to the compartment, which is much worse, only two partitions are erected in the front and back, which is far less than the private room.

Shen Chuan subconsciously looked at Jiang Fuyue: "It's really that I didn't think about it and forgot to book in advance......"

Jiang Fuyue shook her head: "It's okay, the compartment is not bad." ”

Shen Chuan nodded, and turned to look at Xiao Er: "Please lead the way." ”

"Hey!" Xiao Er immediately turned around and enthusiastically led everyone up to the second floor.
