Chang’an’s First Beauty

"I don't want your money, nor your pigeon."

Shen Zhen cried and said, "I don't want it, I don't want it either." As long as she can go out, she can definitely afford Shen Hong.

Lu Yan was taken aback and frowned.

Shen Zhen pushed the box in his hand back to him, and after a long while, his breathing became steady, "My lord will have more value tomorrow, leave early."

The surroundings were dazzling, and the light and dark candlelight cast on his face. The man chuckled lightly.

Shen Zhen raised his eyes and looked at him, wondering why he laughed.

Thin outline, detached eyes, slightly upturned corners of the mouth.

He still looks like this thin and cold, not a bit changed.

For some reason, Shen Zhen's ears suddenly rang. He had read one of the few words-"Zhen Zhen".

The sound entered the ears, making people follow the blur, and the big teardrops were in the eye sockets, and one of them couldn't hold back, and then fell sternly.

"Why are you crying if you let me go quickly? Huh?" the man said dumbly.

"I can't bear Tang Yue and Mo Yue, they are very good to me." Shen Zhen said with a choked voice.

"Really? When Qingxi left you, why didn't you see you crying like this?"

Shen Zhen was choked by him, and his heart ached.

Blaming him for his unfeeling, complaining that he refused to coax himself in the end...

Before long, Lu Yan raised his hand and covered her eyes with his thumb.

Every time he wiped it, her tears fell, and every drop made his heart hurt.

It's really dying.

Shen Zhen took a deep breath in secret, avoided his touch, then squeezed his fingertips hard, and said to himself: Shen Zhen, get rid of that shameful identity, you shouldn’t cry, you really shouldn’t cry...

Besides, Hong'er will be back tomorrow. Mother An and Qingxi are also back. In the future, she will be able to see her sister if she wants to...

What else is she dissatisfied with?

"Shen Zhen." Lu Yan interrupted the little girl's self-hypnosis in a deep voice, "Wait for me, it doesn't take long."

"Waiting for?"

Shen Zhen looked up at him, her brows frowned.

She didn't even notice that she frowned, she looked like the man on the opposite side.

Lu Yan took her hand and said in a hurry, "Why don't the three girls guess?"

Shen Zhen withdrew his hand and blurted out: "I don't have the shrewdness of an adult, so I can't guess."

Lu Yan tasted the word shrewd in her mouth, and raised her eyebrows subconsciously, knowing that she was resenting herself.

Suddenly it rained outside, and the eaves crackled, and the breeze dried the tears on her face.

"If I want to raise an outside room, I can leave you in Chengyuan, why bother to send you here?" Lu Yan leaned in close to her, "Shen Zhen, are you really stupid, or pretend to be me? stupid?"

As soon as his voice fell, Shen Zhen's brain buzzed.

Under his scorching scrutiny, the little girl's ten toes were secretly curled up in one place.

"I want to take you back to Lu's house." The man held her head and kissed her with his head sideways. He touched like a dragon, then backed away, saying every word: "Parent's order, matchmaker's words, three books Six ceremonies, no one will be missing."

Shen Zhen was stunned and looked at him with aphasia.

"My lord." Her voice was extremely soft, "How is this possible?"

She is the daughter of a criminal minister, and he is the eldest son of the government of Zhenguo. The difference in status is obvious. Lord Zhen Guo, the princess Jing'an, would never allow her to be the wife of the Lu family.

She knows well that the most important thing about marrying a master is just two words-the right one.

Looking at his eyes, she suddenly felt that this moment seemed to be more sad than the last moment...

Shen Zhen's eyelashes are drooping and faintly trembling.

"I know what you are thinking, but what you worry about will not happen." Lu Yan said softly.

If he hadn't thought about it, he wouldn't make a promise lightly.

Probably every silly girl will be like this. Hearing such words, her heart can't help but feel sour...

Lu Yan looked at her red eyes again, his heart ached again, and he couldn't help laughing at himself.

She is simply her nemesis.

When I started crying, it was really a cure for him, and there was no way.

"Why are the three girls crying again? Not willing to marry?" Lu Yan gritted his teeth.

Shen Zhen's hands were wrapped around his waist, his small face was buried in his chest, and he rubbed, the thin and soft hair pressed against his chin.

Two words buzzed barely, willing.

There was a smile across Lu Yan's dark eyes, and he said, "This official thought that Miss Shen San would be somewhat more reserved. If you didn't think about it, you just wanted to marry..."

Before Lu Yan finished speaking, Shen Zhen pinched his waist.

Lu Yan swallowed the words with a smile, and shifted the conversation: "I'm not here, remember to take care of yourself, and don't eat cold. If the East Palace asks where you have been during this period, you will say it is Yangzhou, Jiang Chu Xun Report his name."

"I know."

Lu Yan thought for a while, then bit her ear and said, "You really miss me. You can go to the gate of Jingzhao Mansion to play drums."

After hearing these words, Shen Zhen's ears turned red after "brushing" the ground.

"Who misses you?" Shen Zhen retorted.

Lu Yan smiled lightly, squeezed her unbearably thin waist, and put the box back in her hand, "I'm leaving, take this one."

Shen Zhen still pushed it back to him, "My lord, I really don't want these."

"Why?"

"I can support myself and Shen Hong." Shen Zhen looked at him with a pair of beautiful eyes, "Don't you remember? I am in Xishi, and there is a powder shop."

Lu Yan was startled.

Yes, she can indeed support herself.

On the day they first met, she was sitting in the powder shop and fiddled with the abacus.

Although she is a bit naive, she counts very well, and the account books are clearly recorded, just like when she went to Yangzhou, she also helped a lot...

"It's all in vain to work with me, don't you want anything?" Lu Yan held the box in his hand, his eyes darker.

"Yes." Shen Zhen hooked his palm, "Your pigeon stays."

The curfew drum sounded outside, and the drum beats ears, as if urging people to leave quickly, Lu Yan touched her face and slowly got up.

He walked to the door, and as soon as he held up the umbrella, Shen Zhen grabbed his cuff.

With her eyes facing each other, she whispered: "My lord, go slowly."

The man gave a low "um".

——

I have to say that people’s habits are hard to change.

For example, Shen Zhen's problem with recognizing the bed, she was not used to changing places, and it was almost bright before she closed her eyes.

After sleeping for half an hour, he sat up.

The sun was high, the clouds moved quietly, and the shadows of the lush trees fell on the ground. Suddenly, there was a sound of bulging, and a carriage was parked in front of a house in Baoningfang.

Shen Zhen dropped his shoes on the ground and hurriedly opened the door.

When all the people she thought and thought appeared in front of her, she suddenly felt like walking in the clouds.

Shen Zhen sniffed.

Qingxi shouted with tears in her eyes, "Girl!"

"Sister San! Look down at me first." Shen Hong tugged at the hem of her skirt.

Shen Zhen looked down at him and smiled helplessly: "Okay, look at you, look at you."

It's been too long since Shen Hong saw his relatives. As soon as he saw Shen Zhen, he started chattering, wishing to tell them about their daily deeds in Yangzhou. Shen Zhen was so sleepy that he yawned soon after.

"Hong'er." Shen Zhen rubbed his eyes, "Do you usually talk to Mr. Chu like this?"

Shen Hong shook his head, "Mister forbids me to talk too much, because it is not good for my voice."

Shen Zhen didn't hold her back, chuckled, and touched his younger brother's head, "You save some strength and wait for the eldest sister to come, can you tell it to the eldest sister?"

Shen Hong nodded and covered his mouth with his right hand.

Taking advantage of the children's nap, Shen Zhen went to the West Market with Qingxi, opened the door of Baixiang Pavilion, and withdrew more than a dozen silver coins and two pearl hairpins.

Although Shen Zhen has been away from Beijing for several months, her face is not easy to be forgotten.

She was wearing a happy bun, a goose-yellow veiled skirt, a pair of soft-soled pearl embroidered shoes, and a white jade hairpin with buds slanted on her head. She has a beautiful appearance and a better figure than before. A few steps, it seems to be with brilliance, overflowing with light.

This eye-catching appearance immediately caused waves as soon as it appeared in front of everyone.

Shen Zhen walked into a pawnshop, put the pearl hairpin in the middle of the copper plate, and said, "The shopkeeper, I have something to be."

"Just these two pearl hairpins?"

"Yes."

"This one is consistent, this three is consistent."

Shen Zhen took it, "Thank you, the shopkeeper."

Next to the Mengjia pawnshop in West City, there is a jewelry shop. There are several ladies standing outside. Xu Yiqing of the Xu family, Wang Yu of the Wang family, and Sun Mi of the Sun family are all there. There are a few others, and Shen Zhen doesn’t know much about it. .

Wang Yu said, "Hey, isn't that Shen Zhen? Why did she come back?"

Sun Mi said: "I heard that she was bought by a merchant master who was over fifty years old and became a concubine in the seventh room. That master loved her very much!

"If you are favored, you shouldn't be short of money. How can you be a thing?"

Wang Yu covered his mouth and smiled, "Is it true or not what you said? Fifty years old? Wouldn't you be able to be her Aye? God, don't say anything, you are not afraid to go home and be scolded when you say such filthy things. !"

"I remember that Shen Zhen was also very good to you." Xu Yiqing said slowly, "She may just have another difficulty, so let's just say a few words."

Sun Mi whispered: "Qingqing, we are just telling the truth, and you don't want to think about how many deaths and injuries she caused us..."

Xu Yiqing sneered at Sun Mi.

Xindao: If the Shen family hadn't given up the position to your father once the decline of the family, the position of the Ministry of Industry Shangshu could still be taken by your grandson family?

Sun Mi's father is Sun Zhengquan, the current Minister of Engineering.

There is no shortage of rumors in this world, not to mention rumors about down-and-out beauties. Shen Zhen knows that the seventh concubine in their mouth may be regarded as ears...

Xu Yiqing walked in the direction of Shen Zhen, and Sun Mi said in the back: "Qingqing, come back soon, why are you going!"

"Three girls." Xu Yiqing stood in front of Shen Zhen, "When will the three girls return to the capital?"

"Just today." Shen Zhen said with a smile.

Xu Yiqing said: "They talk nonsense, and I will make up for them on your behalf."

"No, you are you, they are them." Shen Zhen paused, "I have something to do, so I will leave first."

"If the three girls are in trouble, you can tell me."

Shen Zhen turned around and said, "Thank you Seven Girls for your kindness, I understand it with my heart."

Leaving the pawnshop street, Qingxi's wrists trembled with anger, "Why didn't the girl let the slave-maid explain? That Sun Mi was so deceitful that she completely forgot how she used to wait for the girl at the gate of the Hou Mansion. So slander the girl's reputation..."

Shen Zhen smiled and said: "They like to talk and talk very much, their mouths are on them, how can we manage? They don't talk face to face, and they will also talk behind the scenes. It is useless to explain it."

Qingxi was stunned, and said in a low voice: "It seems that the girl has changed a little bit." In Qingxi's eyes, the third girl in her family is a very real person, one is one, the other is two, right and wrong are good and bad.

Shen Zhen looked down at her feet, and suddenly felt that Chang'an was still the same Chang'an, but she had indeed changed a little.

In less than a year, she experienced the scourge of the family, the humiliation and struggle of being an outside room, and the intrigue, poisoning, hunting and killing when she was in Yangzhou...

Looking back at these thoughts in the little girl's house, how can you easily feel sad and angry?

For the first time, Shen Zhen didn't even bother to scold Xu Yiqing hypocritically.

There are only a handful of people who can make her sad.

Before the evening, Shen Zhen hired a few craftsmen and hung a plaque in front of the house-Shenzhai.

Shen Zhen raised his hand and touched it, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
