Chang’an’s First Beauty

In August, the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming.

It was said that after Shen Zhen turned from the daughter of a criminal minister to the daughter of a fourth-rank official, those relatives and friends who had been behind closed doors seemed to have lost their memories overnight and began to come to the door one by one.

For example, she handed over those handkerchiefs in the past, and personally went to invite her to go out together, participate in the flower appreciation feast, the chrysanthemum feast, the cuju game, etc...

For another example, in October last year, the two aunts and three aunts who treated her coldly also seemed to have changed their souls and awakened Zhen Er and Zhen Er intimately.

These things look absurd and ridiculous, but in fact everyone has their own abacus. If lowering your head can give yourself benefits, it is really the most cost-effective business in the world.

The reason why they were able to afford this face and move about the relationship again was because they knew that once Shen Wenqi returned to the court, the general governor of the river would be just the beginning.

At the same time, the tea shop business in Shen Zhendong City is gradually getting better. It can be said that everything goes smoothly. When dozing off, someone will pass a pillow, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is rushing to give money.

The face of the world has become faster than the storyteller.

But in addition, there is another headache. It was Shen Zhen who was once again stared at by Xungui's children.

This time, no one mentioned the word "concubine" again.

——

Jingzhao Mansion, in the signing house.

Yang Zong silently handed over two envelopes and whispered: "Master, these were all cut off at the door of Shen's house."

Lu Yan frowned slightly, took out the letter paper blankly, and after reading it from top to bottom, he let out a cold sneer.

[Enter the door of my lovesickness, knowing that I am sad, long-term love, long-term memory, short-term love is endless...]

[Qing Qing Luo Yi is fluttering, lightly moving with the wind far away, looking forward to the brilliance, long howling like a blue sky...]

All right, Shen Zhen.

Four love letters in two days.

Not insulting your name as the first beauty in Chang'an.

Lu Yan "slapped" the letter on the table, and said with a cold voice: "It's all burned."

In the evening, Lu Yan returned to the town government office.

The autumn breeze is slightly cool, the leaves are rustling, and one or two leaves occasionally fall, with a bleak chill, and the branches stand straight between the sky and the earth, towering into the clouds.

The old butler bowed and led Lu Yan to Mingrui Hall.

Recently, there were two more guests in the town’s government office. Mrs. Lu specially set up a banquet in Mingrui Hall, and the three rooms of the Lu family gathered together.

As soon as she walked in, the old lady next to the old lady Lu smiled and said, "I haven't seen it for many years. Saburo seems to be more clean than before."

Immediately afterwards, a tall girl with arrogant brows stood up and said to her cousin.

After staring at each other, he immediately avoided his gaze, his tone indifferent.

Lu Yan nodded and greeted him.

The first to speak was Mrs. Qin, who was also Mrs. Lu's cousin. The two had a deep friendship and used to walk around. It wasn't until the Qin family moved to Henan a few years ago that there was less contact.

The slender and tall girl next to Mrs. Qin is the sixth girl Qin Luo, the first daughter of Henan Fu Yin.

According to seniority, Qin Luo really wanted to call the Lu family cousins.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see what it means for Mrs. Lu to invite her daughter, who has just turned sixteen, to the house.

To put it bluntly, it is the intention to let the two families get married.

There are a total of three rooms in the government of Zhenguo. Lu Ye, who is in the second room, has married a wife and had children. Naturally, it is not considered. Therefore, Lu Yan in the big room and Lu Ting in the third room are the purpose of this trip to the Qin family.

After the banquet, Lu Yan, Lu Ting, and Lu Ye walked out of Mingrui Hall one after another. The moon shadow floated. The three men sat quietly in the pavilion and drank two less.

Lu Ye shook the cup in his hand, drank it, and said with a smile: "Look at what the old lady means, this is going to be a happy event in the town government office."

Lu Ting said to Lu Yan: "Congratulations to the third brother first."

Lu Yan lifted his lips and said with a smile: "Congratulations, I also congratulate you."

Although Lu Yan is not counted as countless imperial women, it is also counted as countless women who read. The Qin cousin's eyes looked at him very clearly, seven points of resistance, two points of unwillingness, and one point, for the time being. Consider it respect.

In short, the meaning of admiration is nothing.

Lu Ting "hissed" and expressed dissatisfaction, then knocked off the table and said, "Otherwise, make a bet?"

Lu Yan took a sip and said, "What about the stakes?"

"Let me think about it..."

As this box was talking, Yang Zong came slowly and whispered: "Master, the old lady and the eldest princess are calling you to Jia'an Hall."

Hearing this, Lu Ting burst out with a "poof" laugh, and said, "I should have gambled a little bit earlier, and get all the hidden treasures in your study."

Lu Yan smiled very confidently, "You can't take any of them."

Lu Yan approached Jia'an Hall and opened the curtain to enter the house.

The old lady Lu was sitting on the couch, and Princess Jing'an was sitting on the round stool beside her, and the green and white glazed two-eared three-legged incense burner on the incense table was filled with green smoke.

Seeing him coming, the old lady beckoned, "Come here."

Old lady Lu looked at her most beloved grandson, and couldn't help but sighed, the smile still on her face on the table was not left.

I tried to speak a few times, but when it came to my lips, I swallowed it in the end.

"What is grandma going to tell me?"

Old lady Lu raised her hand and patted him on the shoulder, "Sit down first."

After a while, I first complimented, "At your age, you can achieve the position you are today. In my heart, grandma, I am proud of you."

Lu Yan smiled bitterly.

Got.

This kind of opening remarks, there is a follow-up as soon as you hear it.

Sure enough, the old lady Lu immediately continued: "But there is an old saying from our ancestors that men should start a family first, and then start a career. You have also seen Qin Luo's child. She is a very talented girl, and she doesn't have to choose her appearance. , I intended to let him marry you as his wife, but only after asking about it did I know that it is Ting'er that the family prefers."

Lu Yan smiled, "Isn't this a good thing?"

"It's a good thing, but you don't want to ask why?"

Lu Yan frowned and said, "There is something to ask about. Dress and hat, each has its own advantages."

Princess Jing'an glared at him from the side.

"The Qin family minds that you hang around in Huajie Liuxiang all the year round. The romance is full of Chang'an!" At this point, the old lady Lu was not angry, and took a deep breath: "But you used to be, not before. such!"

The old lady Lu knew that her grandson was picky. She once thought that Lu Yan was going to marry a fairy before she would give up. Who knows that this bit of a man's roots suddenly emerged as she grew older.

Actually raised a singer outside...

"Brother Yan, grandmother knows that the court is treacherous and Jing Zhaoyin often has to do things that offend others. You are brave and you need to relax. But Ping Kangfang, after all, it’s not good to hear. Place, the historian adds more money, it is your own reputation that will lose!"

Lu Yan rubbed his eyebrows. Hearing these words, he couldn't help but think of the person who "recruited bees and butterflies" all day long.

In order to protect her reputation, his reputation is really ruined.

Not only was it completely destroyed, but he couldn't tolerate it.

He still tasted the taste of knocking out his teeth and swallowing in his stomach.

Princess Jing'an folded her arms on her chest, and refused to say a good word for him. Seeing his fists clenched, she raised her eyebrows slightly.

The word "deserves it" was written brightly on his face.

"Did you listen to it?" Mrs. Lu said earnestly.

Lu Yan's Adam's apple slid up and down and nodded.

Seeing him like this, the old lady Lu took out a veil from her chest, covered her mouth, and coughed lightly.

As a descendant of the Lu family, he knows very well that this is about to play the warmth card.

"Cough cough." Old lady Lu raised her head and stroked her chest, then tremblingly took out a medicine bottle, shaken twice, and the princess handed a glass of water over.

Lu Yan bowed his head and turned his white jade fingers.

Before Mrs. Lu could speak, Lu Yan suddenly raised her head and said, "My grandson is not filial, and my grandmother is bothered with everything. In that case, I will settle the marriage two months later."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Lu almost didn't get choked by the water.

"What two months?"

As the saying goes, it's all about doing nothing, and that's all, Lu Yan said directly: "I have someone I want to marry."

Old lady Lu stared and couldn't say anything, "Which girl is it from?"

"The third girl from the Zongzhi River Defense Envoy."

Old lady Lu straightened her back, tapped her temples with her fingertips, thinking hard, thinking hard, Zongzhihe Defending Envoy...Who is the Zongzhihe Defending Envoy?

"Jing'an, are you familiar with this Zongzhihefangshi?"

Princess Jing'an took a deep breath and whispered: "Not only I am familiar with it, but you are also familiar with the old lady. The third girl of the Zongzhihe Defense Envoy is the third girl of the former Yunyang Houfu, Shen Zhen. Shen Wenqi two days ago He has taken up the post of He Defense Envoy, and now he is sent to Yudong to treat water. It is estimated that it will take two months to wait for him to come back."

The old lady Lu had lived a lifetime and had never seen anything. When she heard the tone of Princess Jing'an, she immediately heard some doorways.

"This...do you know?"

Princess Jing'an and Lu Yan's eyes met, nodding their heads after all.

After leaving Jia'an Hall, the mother and son walked through the hanging corridor and headed towards Suning Hall. The moon was hanging high, and the long shadows of the branches had stretched to their feet.

"If my mother is free these days, how about going into the palace?" Lu Yan said suddenly.

He wants to marry Shen Zhen, others don't need to care, but your Majesty, he can't keep it, and can't keep it.

The princess Jing'an paused, looked at the always thin pair of eyes, and whispered: "I have seen your Majesty."
