Concubine, please respect yourself

Chapter 7 Baili Yao

The carriage that Lu Ziyu was sitting in was driving back to the mansion. The driver driving the carriage saw a crowd of people on the road ahead, so he stopped the carriage and said to the curtain of the carriage, " Miss Luo Ning, there is a crowd in front of me, should we go back home instead?"

Luo Ning didn't respond and looked up at his young lady, waiting for the master to make up his mind.

Lu Ziyu had been very curious about the environment around him since he came out of Fengxian Tower, and was looking for an opportunity to take a good look at it. It happened that there was a lot of excitement when he was out on the street today, so he might as well take the opportunity to get out of the car and take a stroll.

"No, you wait in this car first, Miss and I will get out of the car and buy something and come back." Luo Ning watched the lady think about it for a long time, presumably wanted to get out of the car to join in the fun, told the driver, stepped on the wooden steps to guard Lu Ziyu got out of the carriage.

After walking two steps, I saw a group of people pointing and pointing around a strangely dressed teenager.

The boy looked to be only twelve or thirteen years old. He was wearing a rough cloth blouse and sat cross-legged on the ground. His hair was disheveled, his eyes were dull, his lips were chapped, but he was still mumbling something in a low voice, and no one else could hear what he was muttering clearly. .

If this matter was left in the past, the common people would not be curious, and they would know that he was a beggar, but today the young man on the street is dressed in shabby clothes and his body is dirty, but he is holding a transparent thing tightly in his hand. There is a rainbow light, this is what amazes the people of Suzhou.

"Hey, you think this beggar is holding some kind of treasure, right?" An old woman in the crowd whispered to a woman beside her, carrying a bamboo basket for shopping.

"I think so, but where did this little beggar get such a good thing? He probably stole something from some house and escaped." The woman who spoke to her nodded, with disgust in her eyes.

Standing in the crowd with a cap on, Lu Ziyu raised his eyebrows, a thought flashed in his mind.

She naturally saw what the young man was holding, but she couldn't figure out that in this ancient time, someone could refine glass. No, it should be colored glaze, because the purity of the objects in the young man's hand was not as good as modern ones. Glass product.

Lu Ziyu asked Luo Ning to get a water bag from the car, she had already made up her mind that no matter what secrets the boy had, she would save him first.

After taking the water, Lu Ziyu pushed through the crowd and stood in front of the boy.

"Here you are" Lu Ziyu handed the water bag to the young man, the young man took it and opened the lid to breathe heavily, and drank heavily.

After a while Lu Ziyu saw the young man drinking profusely, he knelt down and looked at him, "Do you have something to say?"

The young man was already delirious, when someone handed him water, he drank it without thinking twice, he was relieved, when he heard soft milky voices asking him something, he opened his eyes slightly and saw a little girl in rich clothes Baby, it's just that the veil covers her face and she can't see her face clearly.

"Can you buy this thing from me?" The young man cautiously stretched out his right hand, spread out his palm, and placed the contents in front of Lu Ziyu's eyes. Now Lu Ziyu could see this thing more clearly.

On the dirty palm lay a translucent snowflake. Although the color was not clear enough, the craftsmanship was cumbersome and exquisite, which immediately caught Lu Ziyu's eyes. It was not because she had never seen the world, but because she thought about it If someone can really refine something like colored glaze, they can really make a lot of money. If the young man in front of him can find someone who refines colored glaze and use it for her, he can become a rich woman in Dongying Kingdom without doing anything in his next life. .

Lu Ziyu secretly suppressed the joy in his heart, stood up, stretched out his little hand and pushed back the thing in the young man's hand: "I don't want this thing, I bought you."

The young man paused, and looked up at Lu Ziyu in surprise for a while, but finally his body couldn't withstand the weakness, and he fell on the road.

The Suzhou people on the street saw that everyone was dizzy, and there was nothing exciting to watch, so they waved their hands and dispersed.

Luo Ning stepped forward and patted the dust on the skirt of the young lady, and asked a little puzzled: "Miss, what's the use of buying a beggar? If there are not enough servants in the mansion, they will call Ren Yazi to buy and sell, and bring back an unknown People are afraid of causing trouble."

"Don't worry, there must be a purpose for me to keep this person, and you will know in the future, go and ask the coachman to bring him back to the mansion so that he can be raised." After ordering Luo Ning, Lu Ziyu turned around and got on the carriage first.

On the second day early in the morning, Luo Ning led a group of maids to Lanyue Pavilion to serve Lu Ziyu to freshen up. After washing himself, another group of maids came to serve the dishes. Yu couldn't help sighing softly. He felt that the days when he could stretch out his clothes and eat and open his mouth were really too comfortable. He looked at his small body of bean sprouts again, wrinkled his nose and said coquettishly to Luo Ning: "In the future, sooner or later Be sure to prepare a stewed papaya with milk for me, I don’t want my body to be like a wooden board in a few years.”

When Luo Ning heard the lady complaining about her flat body, she looked at the little maids in the room who couldn't help laughing, and couldn't help laughing: "Miss is only eight years old this year, her body has not yet developed, wait a few years It will definitely be exquisite and beautiful, so don’t rush it now, after stewing papaya with milk, prepare it for the young lady.”

After breakfast, the maids took away the leftovers, Lu Ziyu saw that everyone had left the room before calling Luo Ning and asked carefully: "Did that young master wake up yesterday?"

Luo Ning glanced at the door, seeing no one around, brought a cup of scented tea and put it in Lu Ziyu's hand before replying: "I woke up when the cock crowed, but when I woke up, I just sat in the yard and no one asked questions. , and don’t take the initiative to talk to others, if I hadn’t heard him talk with Miss before, I would really have thought he was dumb.”

Hearing Luo Ning's words, Lu Ziyu put down his teacup and asked her to prepare a meal to go with him to see the young man he saved yesterday, and by the way, ask him about the whereabouts of the craftsman who can refine colored glaze.

Lu Ziyu made a few detours in the huge Duke's mansion before arriving at the boy's residence.

Lifting his legs and entering the yard, he saw the young man sitting on the stone bench in the yard, his lips pursed slightly, his expression was sad, and he looked into the distance as if he was thinking of something that he had forgotten.

"Even if the sky is falling, you have to eat first." Lu Ziyu asked Luo Ning to put the food on the stone table, and sat opposite the young man, pointing to the food on the table, signaling him to eat something first.

The young man glanced at the food, and then at the pretty girl sitting in front of him. His dull eyes suddenly looked like lit candles, and he wolfed it down with chopsticks in his hand.

After a while, Lu Ziyu also saw that he was full, so he asked with his cheeks on his face, "I bought you yesterday, so you are mine. Since you are mine, why don't you buy yours before?" You can always tell me about your past, such as your glass flower?"

After finishing speaking, half of the crystal clear snow petals leaked out from the corner of the boy's clothes with his fingertips.

Hearing that Lu Ziyu said that he was already hers, the young man's pretty face flushed, and he put the things in his arms before he said, "Thank you for saving my life yesterday, my surname is Baili, and my name is Yao. People from the Western Regions, my father is a famous craftsman in the Western Regions. My father brought me to Beijing to participate in the Que Jing Conference. Unexpectedly, my father and I were killed in Bianyang. My father died tragically under the knife of those gangsters. I took advantage of their sleep I escaped by luck and walked all the way south, although I don't know why they wanted to arrest me and my father, but I always feel that it has something to do with this thing on my body."

After Bailiyao finished speaking, he took out the glazed flower from his bosom.

"This thing is called Liuli, and the process of making it is particularly troublesome, but it is not easy to extract this thing. Your father must be a skilled craftsman. He was killed when he came to Beijing to block other people's money." Lu Hearing Bailiyao's words, Ziyu was quite sorry, it seemed that there was no one in the world who could refine this colored glaze, and it seemed that he had to find another way to make a fortune.

"Thank you, Miss, for saving me yesterday, Baili. I wanted to go to hell with my father, but when I think of the person who caused my father and son to be separated from each other, they are still at ease. I am heartbroken, but there is nothing I can do!" Baili Yao rim With tears in his eyes, he clenched his fists tightly, with resentment on his face.

"I bought you, and I will treat you as my family and friends. We will never let anyone who hurt you go away, but right now, we can only find the murderer who killed your father by making ourselves stronger." Lu Ziyu She smiled brightly at Baili Yao, and pointed to the glazed flower in his hand.

Bai Liyao wiped away the tears on his face, looked at the glass flower in his hand: "I can also refine this thing, since the young lady said that I can make a lot of money with it, then I will earn a little more money to find my father's murderer. "

When Lu Ziyu heard Baili Yao say that he could refine colored glaze, his brows raised suddenly, and his voice raised his voice: "You can also refine this thing?"

"When my father made this thing at home, I learned it on the side. We have learned the craft since childhood, but only my father and I can do this." When Bai Liyao talked about his father, there was a trace of silence in his eyes.

Lu Ziyu was very happy at this moment, what she wanted was finally done.

Duke Lu's mansion seems to be prosperous now, but in fact it has been ruined by gold and jade. His father is not an official in the court now, and he has no salary. The family business has been divided up by local merchants in Suzhou in recent years. They want to keep the Lu family. In addition to power, money is also needed. If you return to Beijing in the future, your family’s poverty will be despised by other aristocratic families. Since you want to return to Beijing, you must be rich and rich. Let those who want to stretch out their hands to suppress the Duke’s Mansion be more careful. .

"Brother Yao, do you know who has the best money in this world?" After Lu Ziyu knew that Baili Yao could also refine colored glaze, he was so excited that he even changed his name. Blinkingly stared at Baili Yao.

Bai Liyao blushed and coughed lightly, feeling that the person sitting in front of him was not a doll, but a little fox, "I guess it's women who earn the best money."

"Brother Yao, you're only half right. Women who love beauties make the most money. Let's open a glazed jewelry store, and we can't make enough money to keep them." Lu Ziyu squinted his eyes, his mind was racing. With a bang, she could already see a group of women scrambling to rush into her shop to grab things.
