Houmen Yixiang

Chapter 100 I didn't expect that she would copy the style of her clothes
After seeing Cai Yuanyu's shamelessness, Lu Xinyan felt that Li Yu was good, so she wanted to secretly fight for him.

"As long as you are here in the Hou's mansion, I believe I will live well if I don't marry." Gong Jin pointed out that she was in turn persuading Lu Xinyan to reconcile with Gong Tianyu as soon as possible and take over the Hou's mansion.

Lu Xinyan's eyes flickered, and she changed the subject with a smile, "Fourth Aunt, after I help you vent your anger later, can you do me a favor too?"

It's not that you are not used to Cai Yuanyu, do you want to teach him a lesson?How come it all turned into venting my anger?Gong Jin paused, "What's the matter?"

"Princess Changping is at Concubine Kong Shu's place, and she begged me for Zhang Huayi's direct entry post. I need someone to wear my clothes and show them on stage." Lu Xinyan said with a smile: "I think Si Gu is pretty good, and I want to ask Si Gu to do it." My model."

Although Gong Jin didn't understand what a model was, she could roughly guess it.

The atmosphere of Tianwu Kingdom is open-minded, and there are relatively few restraints on women. There are not a few people who are allowed to show their faces and even businessmen, but there are still very few daughters of real wealthy families who often show their faces.

However, Huayi Festival is an exception.

After all, the Huayi Festival is set up to commemorate the first queen, and it is a great honor to be invited to participate in the competition.

Since there is a competition, someone needs to show it. Similarly, it is an honor to be selected by the contestants as the model in Lu Xinyan's mouth.

Because the people who come to watch are noble ladies, princes and nobles, being able to publicly display their beauty and become the focus of the crowd will undoubtedly be a great boost to the future of these women. head, just like today's queen mother.

But this is for others, for people like Gong Jin who plan to be single for the rest of their lives, Lu Xinyan's invitation is not a good thing to be happy about.

She frowned, "Can it be changed to something else?"

"In the future, if I need help with anything, I will definitely ask Fourth Aunt." Lu Xinyan's bright eyes glistened like water, "However, due to time constraints and insufficient manpower, Fourth Aunt's help is needed."

Gong Jin suddenly felt like falling into a pit.

She originally meant that Lu Xinyan would help her teach Cai Yuanyu a lesson, and she was willing to do her a favor, but she didn't want to be a model, so she asked Lu Xinyan to change to other things.

It turned out that in the future, when Lu Xinyan asked her for something, she had to help, and now she is also a model.

Gong Jin looked at Lu Xinyan who smiled like a little fox, her beautiful and delicate face was bright and flamboyant, her wet black eyes shone like jewels, and she was as cunning as an adult, but there was still a childish look on her face, she couldn't help it. Zhu smiled softly and said: "Okay, when I owe you, I agree."

"Thank you, Fourth Aunt." Lu Xinyan smiled, took Gong Jin's hand, and walked towards Fushouyuan.

After the two left, not far from the small garden, a figure in Tsing Yi who had stood there for an unknown amount of time, took a few deep breaths, and quietly left in another direction.

It was quiet in the Fushouyuan. Nanny Sun stopped Lu Xinyan and Gong Jin, and whispered, "Fourth Miss, Young Madam, Old Madam and Fifth Miss have been waiting for you for a long time. Seeing that you haven't come, let Fifth Miss go." Aunt Feng is in the yard. The old lady just fell asleep, so you go back first."

The two left Fushouyuan, said goodbye and went back to their own yards.

The sun was still a bit fierce in the autumn afternoon, and Lu Xinyan was so sleepy that she lay down on the couch as soon as she returned to the pomegranate yard, until the setting sun slanted through the jujube trees and shone into the whole yard, and the swing beside her was dyed silver red. Only then did he wake up.

Seeing that it was getting late, Lu Xinyan called Bai Zhi to accompany her to the Fushouyuan, just in time to take another pulse for Feng Shi.

Before leaving, he and Qingtong who just walked out of the room looked at each other tacitly.

Qingtong understood, and began to go back to the room to prepare for the night's action.

Just as Lu Xinyan walked out of the small garden with Bai Zhi, she saw the two talking and laughing, Gong Qing and Gong Rou, and they were still holding hands, very affectionate.

When did these two get along so well?
Lu Xinyan greeted with a smile, "Fifth Aunt, Third Sister."

Gong Qing didn't have a good face when she saw her. The last time she was beaten, she always suspected that it was Lu Xinyan's revenge.

"En." Gong Qing replied proudly, not taking Lu Xinyan seriously at all.

"Sister-in-law." Gong Rou suppressed her smile, bit her lips and called out timidly, with a look of surprise and fear in her eyes.

It seems that the last time Wuyang Hou Mansion was pushed into the water by Lu Xinyan, it left an indelible memory in her heart.

Lu Xinyan was very satisfied, and thought it should be like this, whether you hate Gongrou or not, this girl just wants you to dare not even hate!

"Where did the fifth aunt and the third sister come from? I'm going to see my grandmother, why don't we go together?"

Gong Qing held up the airs of an elder, "Let's go."

Gong Rou let go of Gong Qing's hand, and automatically kept a distance from her, letting Lu Xinyan go first.

Gong Qing glared at Gong Rou bitterly.

How dare you be so timid, how can you do something big?What are you afraid of?Can Lu Xinyan still eat people?

It's a pity that Gong Rou lowered her head and couldn't see her eyes, so Gong Qing had no choice but to snort and walk away with her head held high.

Because of the arrival of Gongqing Cai Yuanyu, the dinner rooms are used together, with one table for men and one table for women.

Gong Jin used the excuse of feeling unwell and didn't come out to eat.

In the past, when Gong Qing Cai Yuanyu came, Gong Jin was like this every time, so Feng and the others took it easy and asked Nanny Sun to arrange for someone to deliver some of her favorite dishes to Gong Jin.

After eating more than half of it, the maid serving Lu Xinyan's vegetables suddenly trembled and accidentally dropped a piece of sauced duck onto her shirt.

The maid was trembling, Lu Xinyan waved her hand, "I'm a bit tired, and I was about to drink some tea to refresh myself, and accidentally bumped into you, you go down."

The maid left gratefully.

Lu Xinyan said again: "Grandmother, everyone, Zhuzhu is being rude tonight, so I will leave the table first."

"Since I'm tired, I'll just rest when I go back, and I don't need to pay grandma any more." Feng said.

"Yes, grandma." Lu Xinyan left with an apologetic smile.

When he returned to the pomegranate courtyard, Gong Jin was already sitting on the recliner in the courtyard and waiting.

"Zhuzhu, this thing in your yard is really novel." Gong Jin's eyes glowed.

When Lu Xinyan got these back before, Gong Jin also heard about them, but didn't take them seriously.

Now that I saw it with my own eyes, I knew the beauty of it, so I lay on the reclining chair and didn't want to leave.

Lu Xinyan said: "Si Gu likes it, I can give Si Gu a set, and Si Gu can come to play often."

"I still have to come and sit with you when I have time." Gong Jin said: "There are few people in my courtyard, and it's deserted. Putting these things, no one will accompany me, I'm afraid it will be even more deserted."

Her tone was flat, but she was somewhat lonely.

"Then come and play with me." Lu Xinyan pretended not to know, and said with a smile: "But Si Gu, the maids in my yard are not big or small, so don't be offended."

She pointed to Xiao He who was looking around.

When Xiao He was discovered, she stuck out her tongue playfully, not only did not hide, but instead walked over generously, "Xiao He has met the fourth girl."

Except for occasionally going out with Xiao He, when walking around the mansion, Lu Xinyan either brought Qingtong or Baizhi, so Xiao He didn't meet Gong Jin many times.

Gong Jin asked: "Xiao He? Is that the little girl you jumped into the water to save last time?"

Lu Xinyan nodded, "It's her."

Gong Jin smiled and took a few glances, only to see the little girl's eyes were clear and bright, clean and clear, staring at her with a curious expression, which made people feel a little bit of joy in their hearts. She praised: "Sure enough, she is a clever little girl."

Xiao He rolled her eyes, and said happily: "Thank you fourth girl for your compliment!"

Gong Jin's lips curved even more.

"Xiao He, what were you sneaking around there just now?"

"Miss." Xiao He approached Lu Xinyan, looking up at a pair of glowing eyes, "Sister Qingtong said that you are going to do something big later, take me there, okay?"

Lu Xinyan refused, "It's not suitable for children."

"Miss, take me there." Xiao He swayed her body coquettishly, "OK? I will be obedient."

This little girl, Lu Xinyan's heart was softened by her shaking, "Don't make a sound later, lest people find out."

"Yes, miss!" Xiao He's eyes sparkled, "Do you want me to go to the little monkey for help?"

It's okay for the little monkey to help, but his master...

"Miss," Xiao He whispered, "I'll tell the little monkey, don't tell him the young master."

Lu Xinyan's eyes flashed, "Little monkey listens to you so much?"

"Of course." Xiao He puffed out her chest, very proud, "He is my younger brother now, except for his young master, he listens to me the most!"

Lu Xinyan snorted, pinched her little cheek, "Yes, our Xiaohe is the best."

After being praised, Xiao He's face was immediately blushed, she tilted her head and said shyly, "Miss is the best."

"Okay, go and change into night clothes." Lu Xinyan waved her away.

Gong Jin said enviously: "You and your maid have such a good relationship."

This is not a maid, she is clearly regarded as a younger sister.

Lu Xinyan smiled and said nothing. She can treat some people without distinction between master and servant, and encourage them to have their own ideas and consciousness, but she has no intention of promoting this idea of ​​equality.

After all, this is ancient times, not the modern times she lives in. The environment in which a person grows up determines her thinking mode.

If you forcibly instill your own ideas in others, I'm afraid it will be counterproductive.

"Fourth Aunt, come with me to change clothes." Lu Xinyan walked to her room with Gong Jin on her arm.

There are two black clothes in the room.

After putting on the black night clothes, Gong Jin's heart suddenly thumped.

As the eldest daughter of the Hou family, she has never done anything extraordinary since she was a child.

"Zhuzhu, won't you be discovered?" When the matter came to an end, Gong Jin became inexplicably worried.

"Don't worry, fourth aunt, I promise you'll be fine." Lu Xinyan's calm voice carried a soothing power.

Only then did Gong Jin settle down, and after a while she worried again: "How can we go out dressed like this? There are people guarding all the doors."

"We don't go through the door of the mansion."

ah?Gong Jin was at a loss, "Then where do I go?"

Lu Xinyan smiled mysteriously, "Come with me."

She herself didn't think that one day, the wall connected to Shizi Mansion would still have such a function after she let Qingtong collapse.

Going out of the Shizi Mansion in a grand manner and coming back again, without anyone noticing!

As for whether the owner will refuse?Lu Xinyan never thought about this question.

He can come to her yard to eat barbecue and hot pot, and mock and threaten her by the way, what's wrong with her excuse?
Gong Jin followed Lu Xinyan to a corner of the courtyard, saw the collapsed wall, raised his eyes and could see the entire scenery of the Shizi Mansion courtyard, widened his eyes, "This... this..."

What kind of system is this?Next door is Shizi Mansion, this pomegranate courtyard is full of female relatives, if it gets out, will it be worth it?

Lu Xinyan understood the meaning behind her stammer, "The courtyard next door to the prince is far away, and no one comes here."

Gong Jin asked: "If Shizi Xiao doesn't know, then why don't you find someone to...build it?"

"This wall is common to the two governments, so I can't make decisions casually." Lu Xinyan said casually.

Gong Jin: ...

Lu Xinyan: "But it's a good thing they didn't build it, otherwise how could I get out tonight? Fourth Aunt, right?"

Gong Jin: "...Are you familiar with Xiao Shizi next door?"

Lu Xinyan: "...Xiao He is familiar with the little monkey beside Xiao Shizi."

While the two were talking, Xiao He rushed in excitedly.

After she reconciles with the little monkey, as long as the little monkey is free, he will take her around the Shizi's mansion.

Therefore, Xiao He is much more familiar with the Shizi Mansion than with the Guangping Marquis Mansion.

After a while, a lean figure followed Xiao He.

"Mrs. Gong Shao." The little monkey looked very excited, but was startled when he saw Gong Jin, "Miss Gong Si."

Gong Jin smiled and nodded.

"Little monkey, take us out of Shizi Mansion." Lu Xinyan said, never thinking of asking the master's opinion.

The little monkey scratched his head, feeling strange for no reason.

Just now Xiao He ran to look for him, asking him to do something with him, and also said that the Young Madam and the others would come together, and they wanted to use the way in and out of the Shizi Mansion.

At that time, the young master obviously heard it in the room, but he didn't say a word.

Now Mrs. Gong Shao regards the Shizi Mansion as her own home, and instead of asking the young master for his opinion, she directly asks him to take someone out.

This…

What is going on?
"Little monkey, let's go, why are you dawdling?" Xiao He urged.

Forget it, take advantage of others' shorthands and eat others' soft mouths, for the sake of future happiness, the little monkey decided to put the young master's thoughts aside.

Anyway, if he didn't object, he would take it as acquiescing.

A group of people walked out of Shizi Mansion in a big way.

He didn't pay attention to the crescent-colored robe corners hidden among the branches on a certain big tree in the mansion, and the pair of glazed eyes behind the leaves that were cooler under the moonlight.

What is this woman trying to do?
The man's mind moved, his feet lightly tapped, and he followed silently.

For a moment, Qingtong and the little monkey seemed to feel something strange behind them, but they didn't see anything when they turned around.

After walking for a while, the three of Lu Xinyan, Gongjin and Xiaohe hid somewhere in a dark alley where the moonlight couldn't shine.

A spacious bluestone road in front is the only way to go back to Wuyang Hou Mansion from Guangping Hou Mansion.

Qingtong and Little Monkey were lying in ambush on the left and right roofs respectively.

After waiting for a while, I heard Dada's hooves not far away.

The moonlight was very bright, so there were no lanterns for lighting in front of the carriage.

As we get closer, the sign of Wuyanghou Mansion reflects the light under the moonlight.

Qingtong and the little monkey made a secret signal.

One person hit the horse's leg with a stone. The horse neighed in fright, and its legs couldn't stand it and fell to its knees.

The coachman was caught off guard and rushed down from the front.

At the same time, there was a yelling sound in the carriage.

"How do you drive?" Cai Yuanyu roared and gasped.

Just now he was taking a nap with his eyes closed, when the carriage stopped suddenly, his whole head hit the carriage abruptly, his eyes glowed golden, his forehead and the right side of his face were in burning pain.

A bad premonition suddenly rose in Gong Qing's heart. The last Qixi Festival night, before she was beaten, seemed to be in the same situation.

Is she going to...

Woohoo, she doesn't want it, she finally recovered from her injury and was able to go out!

"Master, let's run!"

Regardless of Cai Yuanyu's objection, Gong Qing grabbed his hand and wanted to jump off the carriage, but just as the curtain was lifted, a heavy punch hit her directly on the bridge of the nose.

boom!
Caught off guard by severe pain, countless stars flashed in front of Gong Qing's eyes, and she fell backwards, crushing the unsuspecting Cai Yuanyu on the carriage.

"What the hell are you doing?" Cai Yuanyu said angrily.

He hadn't noticed the two people standing outside the carriage, but he just pushed away Gong Qing who was lying on top of him in disgust.

At this time, the soft moonlight shone in from outside, and Cai Yuanyu looked up, only to find two masked men in black standing outside the opened curtain.

"You...what do you want to do?" Cai Yuanyu pretended to be calm, "I am the fourth master of the Marquis of Wuyang, the sister-in-law of the current empress, and my eldest sister! If you hurt me, the emperor will not..."

boom!
Before he could finish speaking, he was punched in the left eye.

Cai Yuanyu screamed, "You...the emperor will not let you go..."

boom!
This time it's the right eye!
The little monkey shot right and left at Cai Yuanyu, while Gong Qing left it to Qingtong.

bang bang bang bang bang bang...

It's a good fight!

Cai Yuanyu and Gong Qing were beaten to the point of crying and howling, and finally they didn't dare to say anything harsh, "Forgive me, man, I have money here to honor you, please... ah!"

Begging for mercy doesn't work, giving money doesn't work.

Woohoo!The two had no choice but to curl up into a ball, howling softly.

After being beaten for an unknown amount of time, a piece of cloth suddenly covered the two of them.

The two were startled, didn't they want to wrap them together and throw them into the river?
Before he dared to ask aloud, suddenly there were a few more thumps on his body.

But the strength is much lighter than before.

The two dared not speak out.

If you say something that shouldn't be said, if you change to the previous person, it will be painful to death.

After a while, the violence stopped.

Cai Yuanyu and Gong Qing were still lying on the ground, not daring to move.

After Lu Xinyan and the others walked a long way, they stopped and laughed, "Fourth Aunt, do you want to relieve your anger?"

Gong Jin's anger that had been pent up in her heart all these years was completely relieved this night, and her whole body was filled with unspeakable joy, "Relief! If it wasn't for fear of being known by them, I really want to slap them hard! A pair of adulterers **!"

"There will be a chance in the future!"

Gong Jin took a few deep breaths, "Go back quickly, lest anyone find out."

A few people laughed and rushed to Shizi's mansion.

The white brocade robe on the roof seems to be integrated with the moonlight, and the light wind blows gently, which is picturesque.

The glazed eyes were dyed with extraordinary splendor, and the moonlight scattered on his neatly bundled black hair from behind, making his handsome features even more profound, and the corners of his lips formed an imperceptible arc.

I didn't expect that woman with winking eyes to have such a childish side!
Pulling people out in the middle of the night to beat them up!Still the one who pulled him!

Thankfully she figured it out!
(Qi Fei: Cough cough, who was the one who asked me to beat up Wan Ziheng in the middle of the night?)
The woman's bagpipe-like voice was faintly heard in the wind, "Little monkey, didn't you say that you can't do anything to unarmed people? Otherwise, your young master won't let you go!"

The little monkey threw the pot away: "...Young master agreed with me to come out, he must have agreed with me to do it!" Yes, it must be so!
When did he agree?A certain man gritted his teeth: ...the practice time will be doubled tonight!
Seeing that woman striding into the Shizifu, Xiao Yichen really wanted to stop her and ask her what she thought of his Shizifu?
How dare you come and go so freely? !

But with Miss Gongsi at the side, he couldn't do that!
Otherwise, her fame, no, his fame?
It's... exasperating!
Lu Xinyan and the others returned to the pomegranate yard unimpeded.

Gong Jin changed back into her clothes, and thanked you again before leaving, "Zhuzhu, thank you so much tonight, I'm so relieved."

"Fourth Gu, do you want to relieve your anger?" Lu Xinyan smiled evilly.

Gong Jin was puzzled, "Huh?" Can you still relieve your anger?Another hit?
"It's very simple, put two beauties in Cai Yuanyu's backyard." Is this called relief?This is too cheap Cai Yuanyu.

Gong Jin remained silent.

"Does Fourth Aunt think that Cai Yuanyu is too cheap?"

Needless to say?

"Fourth Aunt was wrong. With Cai Yuanyu's current situation, the beauty is in front of him, so he can't eat it. This taste...hehe..."

The laughter was inexplicably ambiguous, even though Gong Jin was never married, she understood.

Lu Xinyan said again: "You said that Gong Qing knew that there was another beauty in her backyard, what would happen?"

Gong Jin: People who are recuperating from injuries should avoid getting angry. If they are extremely angry, the injury will only get worse the more they are healed.

"What if the two beauties are insecure?"

Gong Jin: Then you can't be jumping around every day!

Lu Xinyan blinked playfully, "So fourth aunt, for a long time to come, you don't have to worry about someone trying to scare you."

Gong Jin said: "Zhuzhu, you...how did you learn this?"

really...

Just thinking about it makes me happy!

Lu Xinyan answered irrelevantly, "I wanted to do this last time on Qixi Festival, but because of grandma's sake, I only beat Gong Qing up."

Gong Jin rolled her eyes and said before leaving: "If this kind of thing happens in the future, count me in!"

-

The little monkey followed Qingtong at night and beat others up for no reason. Not only did he not feel the slightest guilt of martial arts practitioners attacking unarmed people, but he also felt a special sour feeling.

Probably because he didn't use his internal strength, he just used the strength of his own feet to beat him, and he just used a little force at will.

It seems that if you want to find someone to fight in the future, you can try this method.

The little monkey was intoxicated by the idea that he could do whatever he wanted in the future, when suddenly a cold voice sounded behind him, calm and graceful, "Little monkey, you came back so late, where did you go?"

"Ah? Master, don't you know?" The little monkey quickly turned around and explained, "I told you, I followed Mrs. Hou Shizi of Guangping next door..."

Someone who was tall and tall and only dressed in unlined clothes interrupted mercilessly, "When did you tell me?"

Little Monkey: ...I was standing in front of your room and said that, I remember you were clearly in the room!

Someone suddenly changed his voice, "Did you practice tonight?"

The little monkey didn't bother to think too much, nodded quickly and said: "Practice, practice, practice for an hour!"

"Really?" The indifferent tone rose at the end, which made the little monkey's scalp tingle and a bad premonition arose in his heart.

"Lying will be punished with a higher grade." Someone said quietly, "Practice for two hours before going to sleep."

"Master!" The little monkey jumped up, "I really practiced..."

The ending sound disappeared outside the door following the closing of the door in front of him.

The little monkey looked at the closed door and wanted to cry.

As he walked towards the practice room with his head drooping, he belatedly remembered that when he was practicing at night, the young master seemed to have come in twice to watch him to prevent him from being lazy. How could this mean that he was lying?
The little monkey wanted to go back to the theory, but seeing the room with the lights turned off, he had no choice but to move on resentfully.

In my heart, I muttered: what's the matter today, young master?Why are you so forgetful?It can't be an old injury, the brain is not working well, right?

No, no, no, I have to let Uncle Qin come over tomorrow!
On the desolate street, horses lay on the ground and wailed, and the moonlight shone on the bluestone floor, reflecting a cold light.

Some nearby people had heard voices poking their heads out through the crack of the door and watched a free show, but no one dared to come forward and stop it.

Everyone in the capital knows the logo of Wuyanghou Mansion, even the people in Wuyanghou Mansion are not ordinary people who dare to beat them, they are just ordinary people, how dare they come out to ask for trouble?

On the ground next to the carriage, a short cloth curtain covered the upper body of the two people, exposing the curled up lower body.

Lying there for a while without moving.

The people in the crack of the door couldn't help muttering in their hearts, could it be someone's life?When he was hesitating whether to come out and take a look, two groans came out suddenly.

Gong Qing boldly lifted the cloth curtain covering her head, and quickly glanced at her swollen and blue eyes like a thief.

After finding that the whole street was empty, he began to cry, "Msg....my body is in pain..."

She leaned softly towards Cai Yuanyu, begging for his pity.

It's a pity that Cai Yuanyu's injuries were only heavier than hers, not lighter than hers, and the pain caused him to scream non-stop.

"Go away!" Cai Yuanyu looked at the ugly pig's face and pushed it away without mercy.

"Ouch!" Gong Qing was pushed down without any precautions, her elbow rubbed heavily against the bluestone floor, causing burning pain, "Master! You hurt my body."

She called out half complaining and half coquettishly.

"Don't be that ugly person, make trouble more! Go and call someone to take me back!" Cai Yuanyu said viciously.

Gong Qing felt a chill in her heart, seeing that Cai Yuanyu didn't show any false disgust, she gritted her teeth, endured the pain, got up, and kicked the fainted driver...

-

Lu Xinyan kicked her a few times last night, she was so excited that she couldn't sleep at night, and finally fell asleep after tossing and tossing for most of the night.

When Nanny Lu came to call out in the morning, she lay on the bed and didn't think about it, "Nurse Lu, let me sleep more."

"Miss, didn't you say you were going out to choose fabrics today?"

That's right, Huayi Festival, there are only about [-] days left, I have to go out and choose some fabrics and come back.

Lu Xinyan sat up reluctantly, and yawned lazily, "Got it, Nanny Lu, I'll get up right away, and you can call Qingtong Xiaohe by the way."

Qingtong is used to getting up early to do exercises, so she wakes up naturally when the time comes.

Xiao He was growing up, she slept late last night, she was too sleepy to move, but when she heard that she could go out again today, she immediately jumped out of bed, much faster than Lu Xinyan.

When Lu Xinyan finished washing up, Xiao He even had her breakfast, waiting for her eagerly.

The eager little eyes made Lu Xinyan have to speed up her breakfast.

After dinner, I went to the Fushouyuan to report to Feng Shi that I was going out to participate in the Huayi Festival. Feng Shi was stunned, but then happily said: "This is a great thing, Zhuzhu, prepare well!"

Wu Sheng's post to Lu Xinyan was done privately, and many things happened during this period. When she thought of asking Gong Jin to be a model yesterday, Lu Xinyan remembered that she hadn't told Feng Shi.

"Understood, grandma, Zhuzhu will leave first."

The sun was shining outside Hou's mansion, the rising sun shone warmly on the body but not hot, the autumn wind blew down the sycamore leaves beside the road, and the leaves fluttered like butterflies.

This is the first time that Lu Xinyan really went out after coming to ancient times.

I have been to Qingyan Temple, Getaishi Mansion, and Wuyanghou Mansion before, but they all go directly from one place to another, and I can only occasionally look at the scenery outside.

The three of them sat in the carriage for a short while, then got down and walked.

Tianwu Kingdom is quite tolerant towards women, many of the people coming and going on the street are young girls, some of them are ladies from wealthy families.

There are many merchants on both sides, with a variety of goods, and the aroma of buns, dumplings, scallion pancakes and beef noodles wafts in the air.

Shouting, hawking, bargaining, laughter, crying, scolding... Countless voices are intertwined to form one of the countless ordinary days in Tianwu Kingdom.

The bustling crowd passed by, and occasionally a person who was amazed by Lu Xinyan sneaked a glance at him, and accidentally bumped into someone else in exchange for a burst of curses.

"Wow! Miss! This capital is really lively!" Xiao He's eyes sparkled.

"It's not like being in other places, you can't run around, you know? Be careful of being caught by human traffickers!" Lu Xinyan reminded her, feeling like an old woman.

"I know, Miss." Xiao He nodded sharply.

Although Xiao He loves to play, she is very measured, Lu Xinyan is relieved about this.

"Miss, what's that? I want to eat it." Just after taking two steps, Xiao He tugged on Lu Xinyan's sleeve, pointing eagerly at a place where the fragrance was wafting.

Lu Xinyan glanced at it, and it was fried dumplings, which were delicious, "Go, buy less, don't overeat."

"Yes!" Xiao He happily ran over, took out a copper coin and bought a dozen fried dumplings.

The fried dumplings are leek-flavored. They smell delicious and taste delicious, but they tend to leave a taste in the mouth after eating.

Lu Xinyan rejected Xiaohe's kindness and asked her to share the meal with Qingtong.

Eating and walking all the way, when Xiao He's stomach was turning into a ball and his face was in pain, he finally arrived at the place where Lu Xinyan wanted to come: Su Ranfang.

The plain dyeing workshop is not a dyeing workshop, but the largest fabric company in the capital, weaving, dyeing, and selling through one train.

Its owner is a woman with quite a legendary experience, named Ye Shuang, who is called Master Ye.

She was originally an ordinary country girl, and by chance she entered a dyeing workshop as a maid. Because of her natural intelligence, she learned all the weaving and dyeing techniques just by watching and listening, and created various novel weaving methods by herself. .

Because of her lack of power and power, the major dyeing and weaving workshops in central and central Beijing framed her if they failed to bribe her, causing her to be imprisoned and tortured, and even almost decapitated.

Fortunately, she was safe in the end.

After experiencing all kinds of inhuman torture, Ye Shuang set up her own business and started running Su Dye Workshop from a small rented courtyard.

Then, in ten years, it became the largest fabric firm in the capital. It was highly appreciated by the Queen Mother with a horse dyed with clouds.

The past has tempered Ye Shuang's extraordinary tenacity, coupled with the power of the plaque bestowed by the Queen Mother, Ye Shuang has established some principles, even if the royal relatives come, it will not change easily: she will weave and dye one every season. Piece of fabric, and the fabric she weaves and dyes, if the other party can provide a satisfactory design draft, she can provide it unconditionally, otherwise, no matter how much money the other party pays, she will not sell it, and would rather destroy it!
It is said that in the past five years, very few people have been able to take away the cloth she wove and dyed by herself, and at least half of the fabric has been turned into ashes.

Su Dyeing Workshop has three floors, the door is about five meters wide, the red lacquer gate and the gold-lettered signboard are very grand.

There are two big stone lions on both sides, and the stone-carved Weaver Girl stands on the lions. The people of the Su Dyeing Workshop wrap the stone-carved Weaver Girl with fabrics of different colors every day, as if wearing a cloud-woven clothes for the Weaver Girl, which has attracted many people's attention. .

The fabric inside is arranged in an orderly manner according to the material and color shade, and it is spotless and looks pleasing to the eye.

As soon as a guest arrived, the clerk immediately greeted him with a smile, "Madam, what kind of fabric do you want to buy? Our store has Yunjin, Shujin, Susha, Suluo, Hualuo... There are all kinds of varieties, and there are only things you can't think of. Nothing that we don't have in store…”

The guy was eloquent, and said a lot in one breath, Xiao He chuckled, "Bragging!"

The man saw that she was cute, so he didn't care about it, and patted his chest, "The small one is not bragging, no matter what kind of fabric you want, we have it in our store."

Xiao He rolled her eyes mischievously, "Do I want burlap?"

The guy's smiling face froze now. The burlap was woven by the poor family. How could they have it in this shop?
If you are so poor that you can only wear sackcloth, why come to the store to buy it?
Isn't this deliberately making things difficult?

But seeing how extraordinary the manners of a few people are, the buddy didn't dare to show any signs of expression, so he just made a couple of hey heys to get away.

"Xiao He, don't argue with my brother."

Xiao He stuck out her tongue playfully and stopped talking.

Lu Xinyan smiled slightly, "My little brother, I want to see the new fabrics that Ye Dadang's family weaves in autumn."

"This?" The man was puzzled.

"The fabrics woven by Master Ye are not something anyone can see if they want to." A slightly disdainful female voice came from the door.

Lu Xinyan raised her eyes and saw that Du Yueqing, who was wearing a light orange short jacket and a misty butterfly skirt, was walking in with her head held high, looking at Lu Xinyan quite unkindly.

Lu Xinyan looked at the short skirt on her body, and smiled with her lips curled up.

Du Yueqing's face turned red immediately with a smile that was not a smile.

It turned out that the sleeves of the short jacket she was wearing were in the shape of lantern sleeves, which was exactly the style that Lu Xinyan wore when she went to Wuyanghou's Mansion more than half a month ago.

Du Yueqing subconsciously retracted his arms, then put them down as if realizing something, and said angrily, "What are you looking at? It's not a style that only you can wear!"

Lu Xinyan smiled and said, "Miss Du, did I say anything?"

Du Yueqing was so angry that he was about to say something when another familiar and laughing voice came from behind, "Sister Du, what are you doing so fast? Wait for me."

Upon hearing that voice, Du Yueqing immediately raised his head proudly, and said mockingly: "Mrs. Gong, Ye Da's novice woven fabrics are not just for anyone to see! At least you are not even qualified to see it! But Sister Wen is different, last summer the fabric woven by Master Ye was given to Sister Wen!"

"Hey, sister Lu, no, Mrs. Gong, you also come here to buy fabrics?" Wen Ruxiang was startled when she saw Lu Xinyan, and then showed a friendly and familiar smile, "I am a frequent visitor here, if you need, I can Introduce it for you, and let the shopkeeper give you a discount by the way."

Wen Ruxiang is wearing a taupe-colored blouse today and a long skirt with flying birds and flowers on the ground. The sleeves of the blouse are tied with two ribbons on the upper arm and the forearm respectively. Some small changes have been made, but it seems to be the same as my own new design.

So when she saw Lu Xinyan, she had a very calm expression on her face, without any sense of shame for plagiarizing others.

"Sister Wen, you are like this. No matter how good you are to anyone, you don't care whether the other party is worth it or not!" Du Yueqing seemed to be dissatisfied.

"Sister Du, speaking of which, I have known Mrs. Gong Shao longer than you." Wen Ruxiang explained with a smile, "We have known each other since we were very young. When we were nine years old, we had an accident when we went out to play together. , and then gradually drifted away."

"The accident seven years ago?" Du Yueqing was taken aback, but didn't dare to ask further questions.

Wen Ruxiang nodded, with an innocent smile on her beautiful face, "Well, if there hadn't been that accident, maybe we would still be Sister Wen and Sister Lu now."

This sounded normal, as if it was just a simple statement of a pity.

But there was another kind of information hidden in the words: the reason for the estrangement between the two was due to Lu Xinyan's unilateral reasons, and had nothing to do with her, Wen Ruxiang.

One sentence reflected Lu Xinyan's stinginess, and set off her gentle and generous atmosphere.

Sure enough, after hearing this, Du Yueqing looked at Lu Xinyan with even more disdain.
