Koi Fleeing Famine: I Picked Up a Chief Assistant as a Husband

Chapter 35 This Tea Is Added Vinegar

The capital city at night is no less crowded than during the day, on the contrary, it is even more lively than during the day.

There was an endless stream of pedestrians on the street, and the shops on both sides were also lit up with various lights, which embellished the bustling scene of the capital.

Although he has only been to the capital a few times, Lu Nanzhi is already very familiar with it.

Lu Nanzhi walked slowly, scanning the shops on both sides, and suddenly narrowed his eyes slightly, and stopped.

Shen Lanze then arrived: "What's wrong?"

He followed Lu Nanzhi's gaze, but saw that there was a jewelry stall, and a middle-aged woman was holding a hairpin and shouting hard.

"Do you like this hairpin?" Shen Lanze was about to buy it when Lu Nanzhi shook his head.

Shen Lanze was puzzled, this girl was staring at her just now!

Lu Nanzhi turned around and continued to walk forward, but was stopped by a middle-aged woman: "Oh, girl, don't rush away, I think your temperament matches this hairpin, look at this hairpin, it's green and transparent... "

Lu Nanzhi wanted to refuse at first, but he glanced at Shen Lanze and suddenly asked, "How do you sell this hairpin?"

"My hairpin is not expensive, only one tael of silver."

Shen Lanze couldn't help but look at the hairpin. The hairpin was made of jadeite. It was indeed exquisitely made, and the carvings were delicate. A tael of silver was really not expensive.

"Okay, I'll buy it." Lu Nanzhi took out a tael of silver and handed it over without hesitation.

Madam asked if she wanted to wrap the hairpin, but Lu Nanzhi shook his head, reached out and took the jade hairpin and inserted it into Shen Lanze's bundled hair.

Looking at her masterpiece, she clapped her hands very satisfied, "A good jade matches a gentleman, perfect."

There was a look of surprise in Shen Lanze's eyes, and two blushes could not help but appear on his fair cheeks.

He raised his head, but saw Lu Nanzhi looking at him with a smile, his eyes seemed to be shining with crystal light, resembling the stars in the sky, bright and dazzling.

He stared blankly, forgetting to look away for a moment.

It wasn't until Lu Nanzhi pushed him that he woke up suddenly, and looked away in a panic: "Thank you for the hairpin, I like it very much."

Lu Nanzhi pursed his lips and smiled lightly, with joy in the corners of his eyes and brows: "Just like it."

For a moment, Shen Lanze wanted to raise his hand to touch her cheek, but this idea was quickly stifled in his heart.

Lu Nanzhi didn't notice the change in Shen Lanze, she was in a good mood now.

Shen Lanze saw more and more smiles on her face, and the depths of her eyes couldn't help but be stained with pampering.

The two walked from the street to the end of the road, and finally walked into a small tea house.

Lu Nanzhi chose a seat by the window to sit down, ordered a pot of tea, and tasted it quietly.

Holding a hot teacup in her hand, she stared at the street outside the window, looking at the bustling crowd, feeling quite emotional in her heart.

Suddenly she felt something and looked in one direction.

I saw a carriage slowly driving into the street, the curtain was half lifted, and a man got out of the carriage.

The man has an ordinary appearance, wearing a purple robe, with his nostrils upturned.

Four or five guards stood beside him, and they drove the pedestrians away while protecting his safety.

Pedestrians on the street gave way one after another, for fear of offending this person, it seems that he must have a lot of background.

"I don't know how old the official is, but he's really arrogant." Lu Nanzhi couldn't help complaining.

Since it is so expensive, why do you still have to come out for tea?Just drink tea at home.

Shen Lanze couldn't help laughing when he heard the words: "He is the only son of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Ji Shengquan, and he has been so arrogant since he was a child."

"Are the officials in the Ministry of Officials very big?" Lu Nanzhi still doesn't know the level of these officials, but she knows who is as big as the emperor.

"The Minister of the Ministry of Officials is the first of the six ministers. All kinds of scientific research, promotion, transfer, impeachment and other matters will go through his hands. Do you think it's big?" Shen Lanze said with a smile, taking a sip of tea.

Although he doesn't like this person, the other party does have arrogant capital.

Lu Nanzhi nodded to express his understanding, no wonder he was so arrogant, it turned out he was a second-generation official.

"Stop contacting him in the future, so as not to get him into trouble!" Shen Lanze reminded him aloud, thinking of what happened before.

"Yes, I see." Lu Nanzhi nodded with a smile, and replied in response.

She is not stupid, how could she associate with that kind of person.

The moment Lu Nanzhi turned his head, Ji Shengquan suddenly looked up and happened to see her profile.

Ji Shengquan narrowed his eyes slightly, a flash of amazement flashed in his eyes, and a sound of hoofbeats brought him back to his thoughts.

Lu Nanzhi's gaze was attracted again, but this time the person who got off the carriage surprised her.

"Miss Ruo." Lu Nanzhi blurted out unconsciously.

Shen Lanze naturally also noticed that his brows were slightly frowned, but he didn't say a word.

Ruo Shiyu helped Cui'er's men to get off the carriage, walked to Ji Shengquan with small steps and leaned over, "Young Master Ji has been waiting for a long time."

"It's okay, it's my blessing to be able to wait for Miss Ruo." Ji Shengquan looked at Ruo Shiyu with bright eyes, as expected of a beauty in the capital, her every move is much more delicate than those brothel girls.

This wonderful figure and pretty face are much prettier than those girls in the brothel.

"Miss Ruo please." Ji Shengquan pretended to be a handsome young man.

If Shiyu walked towards the teahouse, Ji Shengquan immediately followed.

She went straight to the second floor, and Ji Shengquan's eyes suddenly stopped on Lu Nanzhi's table.

Ruo Shiyu followed his gaze, and naturally noticed the two people in front of the table, never expecting to meet in such a scene.

"Master Ji, let's sit over there." Ruo Shiyu's soft voice brought him back to his thoughts.

Ji Shengquan withdrew his gaze, and followed him to a corner to sit down, but he looked back frequently, always feeling that the man seemed familiar somewhere.

Lu Nanzhi put down the tea cup in his hand, looked at Shen Lanze hesitantly for a long time and said, "Do you want to go over and say hello?"

"Didn't I tell you not to provoke Ji Shengquan just now, and now you dare to take the initiative to say hello?" Shen Lanze was about to be laughed at by her, and really didn't know what to say to her.

Lu Nanzhi went back unconvinced, "It's not because of your old lover, otherwise I wouldn't have gone there."

As soon as she finished speaking, she regretted it. Looking at the person whose smile fell from the corner of her mouth, she hurriedly covered her mouth, but the words had already been spoken, and she couldn't take them back at all.

"I don't have an old lover!" Shen Lanze gritted his teeth and roared, his face as black as the bottom of a pot.

Lu Nanzhi touched his nose with some guilt, and said helplessly: "Since you don't want to go there, forget it, I'm just asking casually, don't be angry, be careful of hurting your body!"

Shen Lanze snorted coldly, picked up the tea on the table and took a sip.

Suddenly, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, he said, "Is there vinegar added to this tea? Why does it taste sour?"

"..." Lu Nanzhi's face was covered with black lines, and he glared at him with wide eyes: "Shen Lanze, you did it on purpose, right!"

Shen Lanze shrugged his shoulders, saying that he did not deny it.

The two chattered for a while and then quieted down.

Suddenly, there was a quarrel in the distance, and the two looked at each other. Lu Nanzhi got up to take a look, but Shen Lanze grabbed the other hand.
