Beloved at the Door

【chapter Five】

Shangguan Yan owns a house in Beijing. This is an industry under her name. On weekdays, she always returns to this house to rest. Who knows that she just returned to the house, and the housekeeper immediately told her that Mrs. Shangguan would send someone over to ask her to return to her ancestors. After visiting the house, she immediately got on the carriage again and turned back to Shangguan's house.

Shangguan’s family is an imperial merchant. Shangguan Yan has been very interested in doing business since he was a child. The master of Shangguan is an enlightened person. He started his business as a merchant. He naturally thinks that it is a good thing for his children to do business and that his daughter knows how to do business. The steward in charge, he is a man, and he naturally understands that a man is unreliable, and the greatest guarantee for a woman is to be in charge of the treasury. Therefore, it is up to her to develop before her daughter gets married.

With his father and brother as the backing, Shangguan Yan tried to build his own business map, and also took the other three sisters into the partnership.

After returning to Shangguan's house, Shangguan Yan went back to the women's clothing to find her mother, talked with her mother, and had a meal there. Then the wife of Shangguan mentioned the banquet at Chengen's house, and the other party also sent a post.

As soon as he heard of the Cheng'en Palace, Shangguan Yan remembered that today the Ninth Prince would be drinking and mad because of the young lady of the Cheng'en Palace, which aroused her interest.

She decided to go to the banquet on behalf of Shangguan's family. In addition to wondering what the niece of the concubine De concubine looked like, she also thought of the Third Junior Sisters and Junior Sisters in the Mausoleum Palace.

After speaking with her mother, she went to find her father and brother again, asked for pen and ink, and wrote a letter to be sent to the Mausoleum Palace, and then returned to her yard to pick out the clothes to wear for the banquet three days later.

She represents Shangguan’s family, and she is also an emperor merchant. She can’t be sloppy in her outfits. After preparing the necessary items, on the day of the banquet, she took a gift and got on the carriage engraved with Shangguan’s family crest and headed towards Cheng’en Gong’s residence. .

Today, she combed a fairy bun with a hairpin inserted in the bun. The style of this hairpin is the latest model. The hairpin is made of white jade, agate, and glass. The color is clear, which is different from the silver or copper carvings in the shop. The pattern is ingenious. The makeup powder and rouge on her face are also newly made, and the summer clothes on her body and the jewelry she wears are all fine and beautiful.

There are not many accessories to wear at the banquet. They are too complicated, but they seem tacky. Her goal this time is mainly to show the new fabrics and embroidery methods of Shangguan family, as well as the Xinlanzhi powder shop run by several of their sisters.

The horse-drawn carriage drove in from the gate of Cheng'en Gong’s Mansion. The young servant who was in charge of greeting had long been waiting to greet the distinguished guests. At this time, many aristocratic families’ horse-drawn carriages were parked on the square. Shangguan Yan slowly got off the carriage.

As soon as she appeared, it attracted a lot of people's attention. When they saw her outfit, the eyes of the ladies and daughters stared at her.

What she looks like when she is a man, she is chic and hearty when she is dressed as a man. When she returns to women's clothing, she naturally has to pay attention to her manners and demeanor. She is now a daughter of Shangguan family, and she is gentle and dignified.

Her appearance was inherited from her mother. The Shangguan wife was a great beauty when she was young. The Shangguan master only married the Shangguan wife and did not take any concubines. Therefore, the eight children of the Shangguan family all came from the concubines, and all inherited the concubines. Good looks, handsome males, and gentle females, but Shangguan Yan is beautiful, but he is taller than the average female, so it is very convenient to walk the trader as a man.

Most outsiders only know that Shangguan Yan is a man. She went to the banquet in the name of Six Sister Shangguan Xin. The sisters in the family said that she and Six Sisters looked the most alike. In addition, she opened a powder shop and was familiar with various powders. Magical use, good use of makeup techniques, looks more like six sisters.

On the way to the banquet hall, Shangguan Yan inadvertently scanned the surrounding area, and suddenly saw a familiar figure, who was actually the Ninth Prince.

Isn't this guy unable to come? Why did it appear again? She curled her eyebrows coldly, when the Ninth Prince suddenly looked over, she quickly turned her face away.

When pretending to be a man, she and the Ninth Prince can be friends, but as she recovered as a daughter, she tried to avoid meeting the Nine Prince.

She stared at the corner of her eye, and the Ninth Prince actually strode towards her.

"Hurry up." She urged the maid, and immediately walked away. The nine princes really love to cling to her, and the nine princes once yelled when they were drunk that if she were a woman, she must marry her, although she is now He is the sixth sister, but he is afraid that he will be attracted to him and cause Liumei to be harmed by that time.

Because she suddenly speeded up, her maid walked in a hurry in order to catch up with her, and accidentally collided with a young man who happened to pass by.

"Asshole! Whose maid, rash?!" a servant scolded.

The distinguished guests who came here today must all have wealth backgrounds. Shangguan Yan's maid was yelled at by the other's servant, and her face turned pale in fright.

Shangguan Yan, who was walking in the front, heard the scolding and immediately turned around and found that it was his maid who had run into the other's house and was being scolded by the other's servant, so he had to walk back hurriedly.

"Sorry, my maid accidentally ran into the son, please forgive him."

She didn't look at the other party, but bowed her head towards the other party, and stretched out her hand to hold the maid and wanted to leave.

"Hold on." The other party suddenly blocked her, and she cursed in her heart. Shouldn't she encounter a woman with a small temperament who wants to care about her?

She raised her eyes impatiently, but was stunned for a moment after she had a face-to-face encounter with the other party.

It's him again! Di Jing! How could he appear here?

At this time, Di Jing also stared straight at her.

The woman in front of her has beautiful facial features with soft charm, crescent eyebrows and crimson lips, and wavy eyes that are bright and bright. The ice silk dress shows her slim and slim curves. She is elegant and beautiful like a bright moon.

At the moment he saw her, he was so shocked that he couldn't remove his eyes, because he recognized her with just one glance.

It was her again. This was the third time they had met. The funny thing was that she changed her appearance again, that is to say, she lied to him again.

When the two of them met their eyes, Shangguan Yan's surprise was only in his heart, never showing on his face. After many years of business, she has already practiced composure. Even if there is any emotional change in her heart, she does not easily show it on her face, but continues to pretend to be guilty.

"My maid is not careful, please forgive me, son."

Di Jing retracted his mind, raised his lower lip without a smile, and said sarcastically, "The girl's outfit is very valuable, and I really can't see where the family situation is difficult." His words pointed out what he had seen. She is the shopkeeper of the inn.

She looked puzzled. "What is the son saying?! I don't understand."

He sneered, staring at the figure of the nine princes coming towards them from the corner of his eyes, and said indifferently: "I don't mind discussing with you in front of the nine princes."

This is a threat!

Shangguan Yan wanted to continue to pretend, but when he saw the Ninth Prince, he was about to walk over, so he had to put on a pitiful and innocent appearance to show his weakness.

"My son doesn't know something. I have difficulties. Don't look at my glamorous appearance, but I can't be spoiled at home." She said as she squeezed out tears, her tone was extremely aggrieved.

Di Jing was still staring straight at her, her eyes filled with tears were so beautiful that she couldn't move her eyes. He suppressed the throbbing in his heart, his face was calm and indifferent, knowing that she might be lying to him again.

The first time I saw her, she showed her as a woman, and the second time she said that she loves to dress up as a man, and when I saw her this time, she was clearly a woman, and she was also a daughter of a big family. , And now he said that he was unfavorable, so he had to suspect that she was playing garlic again.

From the first time he saw her, he felt that this woman was very familiar. Seeing her reminded him of Ma'er, and she seemed to dodge something, making him more and more suspicious of her.

Seeing the nine princes coming, he turned and left, and decided not to make things difficult for her for the time being.

Shangguan Yan also wanted to leave quickly, but it was a pity that Shi was so delayed and was still caught up by the clingy Ninth Prince.

"Wait, Shangguan's."

Shangguan Yan sighed and stopped. The Ninth Princes started calling her, and she was not good at listening, not to mention that many eyes were watching now.

She turned around and respectfully blessed the Ninth Prince. "His Royal Highness."

The Ninth Prince looked at her up and down. "Are you Shangguan Yan's younger sister?"

"Yes."

The Ninth Prince was delighted to hear this. "I knew, you and Shangguan Yan look so alike, can he come?"

"My fifth brother is busy, so I'm busy with business."

"Hey, he didn't come." The disappointment was not concealed in the words.

The nine princes Si Liuyin was notoriously difficult to get along with, and he was a good-natured look to everyone, so when he suddenly took the initiative to stop a woman and talked to her with a smile, he naturally aroused everyone’s curiosity, The line of sight is projected over.

If Shangguan Yan had known that he would come, he would not have come to attend the banquet at Cheng'en Gong’s Mansion, and he never expected to meet Di Jing here, but this made her alert and realized that Di Jing’s identity was absolutely extraordinary. .

The nine princes were still staring at her nakedly, which made her feel bad.

"If there is nothing wrong with the Ninth Prince, please let the little girl leave first."

Si Liuyin nodded. "Okay, see your fifth brother and greet him for me."

"Yes." She blessed her body and hurried away with her maid, while the eyes of the nine princes behind her were still staring at her.

Shangguan Yan thought to herself, she has met all of them anyway, and she doesn't have to be afraid. She is now Shangguanxin, and there is a screen between the male and female seats, which can help her block the sight of the Ninth Prince and Di Jing.
