So someone dragged the unlucky broad-faced man out, Zhou Shizhi asked Mr. Hu to sit down, and the two sides chatted cordially.
Mr. Hu heard that they were going to Nanjing for a visit, and by the way to see if there was any business to do, so he introduced them to the famous places of interest, famous dishes and famous foods in Nanjing, and generously left a message. If there is any difficulty in Nanjing City, just go to him.
Zhou Shizhi thanked him with a smile.
Three days later, when they arrived in Nanjing City, Zhou Shizhi and his party sent Mr. Hu to the back door of the mansion, and the two sides said goodbye to each other.
Although we only got together for a few days, Zhou Shizhi's demeanor and generosity left a very deep impression on Mr. Hu, and he felt a little bit reluctant to part with him suddenly, and he repeatedly told him to do something. Come find yourself! Before leaving Nanjing, don't forget to say goodbye to yourself.
Zhou Shizhi had another purpose in making friends with him, how could he forget this? He nodded and smiled and agreed, already thinking about asking someone to prepare a generous gift tomorrow.
Zhou Shizhi and his group settled in an inn in Jianzi Lane not far from the Qinhuai River, occupying the entire backyard. It's clean enough here, no one will bother you.
"Nanjing city has beautiful scenery, Xuanwu Lake, Mochou Lake, Qixia Mountain, Jiming Temple, Linggu Temple, Chaotian Palace, Yanziji, Relic Pagoda... There are many delicious and interesting things, Let Hong'e and Miaomiao accompany you around tomorrow! Buy whatever you like! By the way, Nanjing brocade is very famous, I can bring some back for your little aunt!"
After settling down, Zhou Shizhi said to Lu Xiaoshu with a smile.
Lu Xiaoshu blinked his eyes and said, "There is also the Qinhuai River. The Qinhuai River in the shadow of oars and lamps is so beautiful. Why did you miss such a beautiful place?"
Zhou Shizhi raised his forehead and said, "Xiaoshu, I'm going to do some serious business, how can you, a girl, come in and out of that kind of place!"
Effervescent? He felt he was going to bubble with anger. The place is thick and fragrant, and it is a happy place that men generally like. However, no man would want his woman to be involved with that place. In this regard, he is like all men in the world.
The difference, of course, was that he didn't enjoy the pleasures there.
"My prospective mistress can go out, why can't I go!" Lu Xiaoshu said in disbelief, "Stop pretending to be noble, don't forget that you will still have to respect my master in the future, don't you dare to look down on my mistress?"
"Of course I didn't mean—"
"Since that's the case, I'm not allowed to go, are you afraid that I will hinder your good deeds?" Lu Xiaoshu half-closed his eyes, tilted his head and looked at Zhou Shizhi with a half-smile.
Just kidding, he wants to eat alone in such a beautiful and interesting place like Qinhuai River? How is it possible!
I also kindly introduced so many scenery of Nanjing to her...
Zhou Shizhi has never been her opponent if he wants to show off his quick tongue. After a moment of silence, he could only sigh: "That's all! You can go with me! But let's talk first, you have to obey me when you get there." , don't make up your own mind. Otherwise—"
"Don't worry, don't worry!" Lu Xiaoshu nodded with a smile on his face and said, "Of course I listen to you. You are the right master. I just accompany the prince to study! How dare I provoke you!"
Zhou Shi smiled and shook his head slightly.
The next day was approaching evening, and the two were ready to go out. Zhou Shizhi was wearing a round-neck gown with silvery bamboo leaves on a moon-white background, green jade hairpins, and beautiful jade around his waist. The golden tassels reflected the white clothes, bringing a touch of dazzling bright color.
Lu Xiaoshu also mixed men's clothing, Fang Miaomiao is a good hand in this area, he moved his hands and mouth while directing Hong'e to pick up and deliver things, and quickly cleaned up Lu Xiaoshu. Even the man's Adam's apple was made up for her to look like it was real.
As Fang Miaomiao clapped her hands and said "Okay!", Lu Xiaoshu couldn't wait to run to look in the mirror, and then screamed "Ah!".
She angrily pulled Fang Miaomiao over, pointed at the person in the bronze mirror and asked, "Is this me? Is it really me?"
The figure of the man in the bronze mirror is very thin, wearing a silver-blue cross-collared straight train, his skin is slightly dark, his facial features are plain with a plain temperament, his eyes are dull, his lips are dull, and even his nose is dull. , No matter how you look at it, it's not pleasing to the eye!
It's so different from what she imagined. Although she, Lu Xiaoshu, can't be regarded as a stunning beauty, at least she has a pretty face, okay? Otherwise, it can only be said that Zhou Shizhi's vision is too bad, and he was born in the royal family. ! Nothing tarnished that noble lineage and vision!
She was happily preparing to see a handsome young man with red lips and white teeth, but who knew the effect, it would be almost as good as pulling him out to be Zhou Shizhi's follower!
Fang Miaomiao's heart twitched secretly, that's what the young master Xindao ordered, you are taking the route of being a follower...
"Girl, I think it's pretty good!" Fang Miaomiao quickly laughed and said, "It's not conspicuous, not conspicuous at all! It also saves those girls from pestering the girl, and it will be bad if they reveal their secrets!"
"No, no! I can't go out to meet people like this!" Lu Xiaoshu shook his head and resolutely objected, and said extremely resolutely: "You change it for me again!"
Really, how had she not found out before? Fang Miaomiao actually has this skill, not only her appearance, but also her temperament has changed...
"Xiaoshu, are you still okay?" Zhou Shizhi raised the curtain and came in after hearing the words inside.
"Don't come in!" Lu Xiaoshu hastily raised his hands to cover his face, but he met Zhou Shizhi's gaze directly. Seeing the surprised look in his eyes, knowing that he had seen his strange appearance, Lu Xiaoshu put down his hands in frustration, and glared at him unhappily.
Zhou Shizhi couldn't help shivering, that, he told Fang Miaomiao to make her look more ordinary and inconspicuous, so as to save someone from pestering her to reveal her secrets, but this, this, is too—
He couldn't stand it himself.
"You are satisfied!" Lu Xiaoshu glared at him angrily.
Zhou Shizhi's goosebumps quickly covered his whole body with a "swish", and he was speechless.
Forgive his limited imagination, he can't regard this thin, short and frustrating little man in front of him as the woman he loves, seeing her talking to him half coquettishly like this, he, cough, he is actually too awkward feel uncomfortable...
Fang Miaomiao stood aside with a nonchalant expression on his face, the muscles on his face were a little tense because of biting his lip slightly, and he was laughing wildly in his heart.
"You go out first! Miaomiao, quickly change it for me!" Lu Xiaoshu turned to Fang Miaomiao and said.
Fang Miaomiao murmured, subconsciously glanced at Zhou Shizhi from the corner of his eyes.
"Change it a little bit, and move more neatly!" Zhou Shizhi also said. Xiang Fang Miaomiao winked: at least, he must be pleasing to the eye...
"Yes, young master! Girl!" Fang Miaomiao quickly agreed, and pulled Lu Xiaoshu to sit beside her. She kept changing eyebrow pencils and various powders and pastes, and stopped after less than a quarter of an hour. He smiled and said, "Girl, it's done!"
He took the initiative to pull her to stand in front of the mirror, and said with a smile: "Is the girl satisfied with looking at it?" Busily explained with a smile: "The girl has a good foundation, and her skin is fair and delicate, which is the favorite of the girls there. Now that you look good, you must cover up your true colors, otherwise won't it embarrass the girl by then?"
It was quite comfortable to hear these words, Lu Xiaoshu's brows loosened a little, and he glanced into the mirror, well, although it is not as good as the handsome young man she imagined, it is much better than just now. Tsk, it still looks unremarkable! But that's okay, what she said is not unreasonable!
"That's it!" Lu Xiaoshu nodded.
After leaving the room, Zhou Shizhi saw her, and his gaze finally slowed down—with the fright and contrast of the previous glimpse, in fact, he looked much more pleasing to the eye now, although he was still far from her own...
"Let's go, it's getting late!" Zhou Shizhi smiled slightly, subconsciously reaching out to hold her as usual.
But Lu Xiaoshu took a light step back to avoid it, gave him a white look and said, "Are you planning to take my hand and go there?"
Zhou Shiyi was stunned, he laughed and said, "That's right! Follow me, don't get lost!"
Lu Xiaoshu let out an "oh" and hurriedly followed, although he muttered unconvinced in his heart: Why should I follow you instead of you following me...
After thinking about it, I also felt that it was impossible for me to be followed by someone like Zhou Shizhi, and I couldn't help but feel a little bit unwilling and depressed. Thinking of revenge in my heart: When this matter is over, I have to switch to play with him...
Thinking of this made me feel more comfortable.
The two of them took two young attendants dressed in Tsing Yi in a carriage and stopped in front of a tall gate building called Zuichun Building. The three-story tall building group was majestic, the cornices spread their wings and pierced the sky, and the beams were carved and painted. , hung red lanterns decorated with golden tassels, revealing an ambiguous soft red light.
Upstairs and at the door, there are many beautiful girls with beautiful flowers and branches holding round fans. The girls' coquettish chatting and laughing, the jingle of the rings, and the scents of all kinds of cosmetics, either light and elegant or rich and sweet, rush to the face, surrounding people like layers of waves.
When the girls saw the two of them, they were smiling and wanted to rush forward, but they saw the two attendants calmly and took the first step to block the front. After saying something, the girls retreated like a tidal wave with coquettish smiles. The winking eyes flew around, but no one surrounded them anymore. Instead, a woman in her thirties and forties came up, wearing a flat wishful bun and wearing a red embroidered cross-collar gown. She politely led them in with a smile. .
Lu Xiaoshu couldn't help but nudged Zhou Shizhi with his elbow, and asked curiously, "Why did they retreat again?"
Zhou Shizhi glanced at her and said, "We've already made an appointment, so naturally they won't mess around, this is the rule."
"You know a lot!" Lu Xiaoshu gave him a resentful look.
