Concubine, please respect yourself

Chapter 45 Plump
The houses located in the capital are all grand in style.

As far as the color of the walls is concerned, the walls in Beijing are all "pink leather" with some gorgeous beauty, while the walls in Suzhou are mostly "white leather and gray leather" with black glazed tiles, which is even more exquisite.

Shen Lan was used to living in Suzhou, but when she entered the capital, she felt awkward everywhere.

Only four or five days after moving in, a painter was hired to repair the whitewashed walls into graceful Suzhou gray.

The place in Lu's mansion is too big, even though there are so many maids and servants added to the mansion, they still feel that the number of people is small, so Shen Lan hastily ordered the big housekeeper to buy some living things for people's entertainment.

Now, the Duke Lu's mansion in Qingshui Lane has become the subject of idle chatter among the people in the capital. Some people say that the mansion houses ligers, vultures, and camels. Such exaggerated talk is nothing but a fabricated story by someone with a heart. .

The plundered animals were not raised, but some high-minded ones were raised, like the Cuddling sparrow, egret, and deer, which are all free-range in the mansion, and can be seen everywhere along the inland river.

There are also some black carp, feather white and red gold leaves in the inland river. When the sun shines, the fish poke their heads out from under the lotus leaves, flick their waists, and swim away with the blue waves.

Lu Zhichen, the monkey in the backyard, hired a craftsman to dig a few holes in the rockery in the backyard. After threading hemp ropes, he hung some thrushes, blackbirds, and canaries on it.

For a while, Duke Lu's mansion was full of wit and humor, full of elegance and artistic conception everywhere.

When he first came to Beijing, there was no reason for Fourth Miss Lu to show up, so he just lay in the mansion all day to paint some spring clothes, and waited for the third brother to find a good shop, and then set up the business of Mu Cangzhai.

When Mu Cangzhai was in Suzhou City, it could attract the attention of noble women in Beijing. If it was opened in the city, she might have to count money in her dreams in the future.

"Why are you so stupid?" Bai Liyao walked through the Moon Gate wearing a long robe with brocade and dark flowers, and saw Lu Ziyu smiling foolishly in the gazebo, he couldn't help but also chuckled.

The little maids bowed and saluted, and retreated a few feet away from the gazebo.

Putting down the hook-line wolf hair brush in his hand, Lu Ziyu smiled unabated. Seeing the clothes the visitor was wearing, he said amusedly, "Why is Sister Yao still wearing men's clothes in her own home?"

Bai Liyao was too lazy to answer, so he found a stool and sat down, holding a folding fan and said leisurely, "I said, this house is already in order, why didn't Second Young Master go back to the house to have a look?"

"Why did you suddenly ask about Second Brother?" Lu Ziyu stared at her with his chin propped up, with a strange expression on his face.

Bai Liyao secretly thought that it was not good, because he was careless and forgot that this woman was as cunning as a fox, and could feel her flaws along the pole.

The woman in front of her leaned closer to her again, her eyes were bewitching, and her voice was as delicate as honey: "Could it be that Sister Yao has taken a fancy to it."

"Who's taken a fancy to your second brother?" The words were urgent, and the peach was ashamed, clearly showing the shyness of a daughter.

When the words fell, Bai Liyao wished to cover her mouth and stop opening her mouth. She seemed to have been tricked just now?
"I didn't say it was the second brother, maybe it was the third brother?" After getting the answer, Lu Ziyu squeezed the marinated bayberry in the bowl and put it in her mouth. The sweet and sour taste made her smile.

Thinking of the monkey jumping up and down in the mansion when he was a child, Baili Yao shuddered.

Lu Zhichen, who was looking for a shop in the city, sneezed several times in a row and cursed angrily.

Taking advantage of Yangmei's sweetness, Lu Ziyu raised his eyebrows, and said in a greasy tone: "The last time you asked my second brother when he would return home in Suzhou, I fell in love with you, and you just thought it was just to seduce men , today you are so straight to the point and caring about the second brother, I am sure about this matter."

Bai Liyao wrinkled his pretty nose and stared blankly at a pair of cross-necked mandarin ducks in the inland river with his slightly heroic face.

Lu Ziyu leaned on the desk, whimpered and said, "I take you as my sister, and you actually think so."

When he regained consciousness, Bai Liyao was a little at a loss, stood up and hurriedly defended: "Can't I miss your second brother in the future?"

Ruo Xiao thinks it will work, according to her second brother's temperament, I am afraid that she will never take the initiative to ask for her daughter in this life, so is it possible to be a widower for the rest of her life?

Lu Ziyu slapped the table with all his might, and said angrily, "No way!"

What the hell does that mean?
Seeing the woman who was getting angry, she burst into tears and said with a smile: "Anyway, I reserve the position of my second sister-in-law for you, but you must put my second brother under your straight-breasted robe."

Bai Liyao was startled, and worked together for a long time, is he here to show her?
It's just that she is used to being a businessman and has always followed the "reciprocity".

"Yu'er, alas." Baili Yao said quietly with a troubled expression on his face.

Lu Ziyu frowned lightly, and asked in puzzlement, "What's wrong?"

Bai Liyao stared at her carefully for a while, then walked around a few times, making a "tsk tsk" sound and shaking his head again, which frightened her for a moment.

Her fair neck was raised upwards, and she boldly asked, "Just say what you want, don't make a fool of yourself."

"I see that your waist has plumped up a lot recently, and it seems to have grown by two inches."

"nonsense!"

Luo Ning took the herbal tea to dispel the fire, went up the stone steps, and said with a smile: "The shopkeeper Baili has amazing eyes. I wear small clothes for the young lady these days, and the satin rope is indeed two inches shorter than before. .”

The herbal tea was placed on the stone table, Baili Yao picked up a cup, drank it as if he had eaten candied fruit, and smiled happily.

It's really not easy to get some light on this goblin.

Lu Ziyu clenched his lips, pinched his hands on his waist, remembering how loose he was wearing this skirt not long ago, why he couldn't breathe after hearing what they said today.

The phoenix eyes widened, with disbelief: "I haven't been greedy these days, how could I be?"

Luo Ning shook his head, and said with a wry smile: "My lady, you are not greedy, but you don't step out of the door, just sit on the stool and paint, won't you be plump?"

Lu Ziyu was in a hurry, she was the most respectful of her appearance, if she became "Concubine Yang" but could not meet "Emperor Ming", it would really kill her.

Jiao shouted "Oops", and ran out of the gazebo with her skirt in hand.

Luo Ning turned her head and hurriedly asked, "Miss, where are you going?"

"Where else can I go? I went around the courtyard." Bai Liyao waved his folding fan and smiled happily.

The feeling of fighting against the general is really wonderful.

Lu Ziyu trotted all the way from the backyard to the front hall with his Luo skirt in hand, sweating profusely and panting slightly.

Although the appearance is a bit embarrassing, it still invites pity.

As soon as he ran to the front hall, he saw A Lu leading the Ninth Prince Ying Su and Fu Yun into the door, walking towards him.

Huarong turned pale for a moment, turned around quickly, and ran away quickly.

A Lu quietly retracted the half-raised hand, and swallowed the words that came to his mouth, not daring to breathe out, let alone to see the expression on the face of the nobleman beside him.

Fuyun smiled and stepped forward to him and said, "Why did this Fourth Miss see my master today, as if he saw a monster in broad daylight?"

"This..." Ah Lu hesitated to speak, he didn't know why Miss Today was so abnormal.

Ying Su saw it clearly just now, the little girl did run away as soon as she saw her, unlike the old days when she came up to provoke her with all kinds of amorous feelings.

There was doubt in Qing Jun's eyes, could it be that this woman is playing tricks again?
But seeing her turn around sharply, Ying Su still frowned, her face was gloomy, not as kind as when she just entered Duke Lu's mansion.

"Master, this house is really cool, why do I feel chilly right now?" Fu Yun rubbed his arms and smiled at his master.

Ah Lu's face turned green, didn't this valet realize that the coolness was emanating from his master's body?
