The man had no smile on his face and his eyes were indifferent. When he said "young lady", the breath he exhaled sounded cold.
The Zhou Dynasty advocated inclusiveness and the people were free and open-minded, with few restrictions on women. Traveling in men's clothing like Yuan Cixian was not considered unconventional, and it was no big deal if she was exposed.
However, this man with the fiery eyes and golden pupils did not seem to be the modest gentleman praised by people in ancient times. On the contrary, he exuded an inexplicable pickiness and arrogance from head to toe, which made people feel uncomfortable.
Yuan Cihan didn't know that the young man from the Lu family named "Shi Qing" was famous in Chang'an City for having a face that was stinkier than the soles of his shoes.
The young lady of the Lu family, Lu Shuangyu, was shocked beyond words.
Seeing this, Yuan Cixian stopped speaking in a hoarse voice and said to her in his natural voice, "Young lady, I appreciate your kindness, but as your brother said, I am not a man."
Listening to this delicate and crisp voice, how could it not be a girl's
Lu Shuangyu was stunned. She scanned her face several times before she finally came to her senses. Her mind was in a state of confusion and her face turned red. However, she continued to be stubborn: "I don't believe you and my brother are working together to deceive me!"
Yuan Cixian and Lu Shiqing glanced at each other.
After this unfriendly glance, Yuan Cixian felt a little strange. She was surrounded by people in such a hot day, so she was right to feel uncomfortable, but why did this man look like he was owed 800 taels of gold
How could you treat your "savior" like this? It's not her fault that she had a face that could attract both men and women.
She lost her patience and said, "Your brother and I have never met before, so how can we be partners? As for the idea of deceiving, it is even more ridiculous. If you don't believe me, wait until I return to my female body and come find me again." After that, she smiled and said, "It's hot. Goodbye."
Lu Shuangyu was about to cry.
Perhaps she was deceiving herself, but she still refused to give up. She stretched out her arms to block Yuan Cixian, not letting her go. She bit her lip and said, "If you don't leave your name, where can I find you? You are guilty!"
Yuan Cixian glanced at Lu Shiqing and said, "What's my name and where is my home? Just ask your brother to check it out."
This official uniform is the regulation for the fourth-rank officials in the court. How can a person who sits in this position at such a young age be a simple character? It is easy to investigate a person.
Lu Shiqing glanced back at her indifferently, and said to his sister in a cold voice: "Shuangyu, come back."
Lu Shuangyu pursed her lips and stepped back.
Yuan Cihan nodded slightly to her and did not stay any longer.
But she did not get what she wanted. After she took a few steps, she heard a strange sound behind her, which was similar to that of a beast or dog kicking the ground. At the same time, a short and sharp scream was heard.
She paused and turned around, only to see a huge black dog jumping out from somewhere, rushing towards Lu Shiqing like an arrow, pouncing on him and snatching away a jade ring from his waist.
With a "click", the dog bit the jade ring in half. It stood at his feet, staring at him with bloodshot eyes and a low growl rolling in its throat.
After screaming, Lu Shuangyu forgot about Yuan Cixian's departure for a moment when she saw this scene. She hurriedly stood in front of Lu Shiqing and shouted, "Brother, don't be afraid!" Then she raised her hand and ordered the servants, "What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and catch this wild dog!"
Yuan Cihan was just turning around when he heard the words "Don't be afraid, brother" and almost sprained his legs, with his left foot stepping on his right foot.
Looking more closely, I saw that the man who had been so arrogant just now now had a stiff back, his face was as pale as paper, his eyes were wide open, and his lips were trembling. There was no dignity at all.
The wind blew, and a bean-sized bead of sweat slid down his neat temples and hung on his tense jaw without falling.
He stood motionless with his hands behind his back, but his fists were clenched so tightly that his finger bones turned slightly blue.
Several servants hurriedly caught the dog. The atmosphere was tense for a while.
Yuan Cixian was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but burst out laughing.
As soon as the dog was under control, Lu Shiqing quickly returned to normal, took a deep breath without looking around, then turned stiffly to the side and gave Lu Shuangyu a cold look.
Lu Shuangyu let out a short "ah" and immediately realized what a stupid thing she had done.
The dog was my brother's weak spot. Originally, this was a family secret, and my brother tried his best to hide it from the outside world. But she repeatedly asked him to reveal the secret in front of outsiders, so that now those who disliked my brother in the court always used this vicious dog to tease him. For example, the only son of the King of Southern Yunnan who stayed in Beijing, Yuan Yu.
She looked at Lu Shiqing cautiously, covered her mouth tightly, and indicated that she would never speak so hastily again.
The news has spread all over the capital, so how can there be any future
Lu Shiqing gritted his teeth, suppressed his anger, and looked at the person who was striding towards Changting.
Compared to Lu Shiqing here, the man was stronger and more muscular, with a darker complexion, and behaved in a neat and unrestrained manner like a warrior. It really was the only son of the King of Southern Yunnan, Yuan Yu.
When he approached, Lu Shiqing raised his thin lips, paused for each word, and asked with gritted teeth: "General Yuan, are you here to look for the command dog?"
How could such a well-trained hound appear without reason? It must have been instructed by someone. Now the dog's owner has arrived.
Yuan Yu first glanced at Yuan Cixian, and seeing that his sister looked like she was watching a show, and pretending that she was not being bullied, he turned his gaze back to the person in front of him: "Minister Lu is really my soulmate." After saying this, he took the dog from the servant, lowered his eyes and said with a distressed look, "Oh, my little Heihei, I finally found you!"
The black dog, which had looked ferocious just now, immediately lowered itself to the ground, with tears in its eyes, as if it had just been beaten.
Yuan Yu put the dog on the ground, and then slapped his head as if he had suddenly realized something: "Yuan, I forgot that Minister Lu and dogs don't get along well. Did the dog scare you?"
Lu Shiqing smiled and pulled off another jade ring from his waist, handed it forward, and avoided answering: "Since Lingquan has taken a fancy to Lu's jade ring, why not take both of them."
Yuan Yu thanked him, raised his hand to take it, and bowed his head and said, "Why don't you thank Minister Lu quickly?"
“Woof woof!”
Lu Shiqing's handsome face froze, and a thick layer of sweat covered his forehead again.
Yuan Cixian tried to hold back her laughter.
Yuan Yu seemed to have just noticed her. He intentionally did not reveal her identity and said in surprise: "Oh, Brother Xian, you are here too! We agreed to have a chat at your house today. I have been waiting for you for a long time, so I took the family dog out to look for you... Now it is really like looking for you in vain, but now I have found you without any effort!" After saying this, he looked like he wanted to put his arm around her.
It’s so exaggerated. Too exaggerated.
Yuan Cixian's mouth twitched slightly. Seeing the Lu brothers and sisters staring at them as if they were idiots, she said angrily, "Brother, stop acting. People know that I'm a girl."
Yuan Yu's smile froze, and the hand that was about to hook her shoulder suddenly turned, and instead clasped his hands together and rubbed them together. He coughed awkwardly and said to Lu Shiqing, who had a cold look in his eyes: "Well... In this case, it's getting late, let's go. Minister Lu, please go first?"
Lu Shiqing glanced at the roadblock in front of him, kept smiling, and said calmly: "In terms of status and rank, General Yuan is above me, so you should go first."
Yuan Yu waved his hand: "Oh, no, no, the ranks are just empty words. You know, I am just an idle general. It is my honor to talk to you, a famous person in front of the saint. You go first, please go first!"
The two were in a stalemate. Lu Shuangyu hesitated for a moment, bit her lip and made up her mind: "Brother, how about I go first, and you follow me!"
Lu Shiqing's smile could no longer be maintained. He glared at her fiercely, shook his hand and tried to leave.
"Woof!"
He took a step forward and suddenly heard a dog barking. He paused, turned quickly, and with a grim face, he went around to the other side of the pavilion.
Lu Shuangyu followed with a heavy heart.
Yuan Cihan couldn't help it any longer and fell on the beauty chair, holding her stomach and laughing.
Yuan Yu still felt it was not enough, so he continued to add fuel to the fire, shouting at the backs of the group, "Minister Lu, your legs are weak, walk slowly, be careful not to fall!"
After the people left, he sat down beside them, propped his hands on his knees, and frowned at Yuan Cixian, "What's wrong with you? You just arrived in Chang'an and you've messed with this kind of person."
What kind of person is this
She stopped laughing and looked innocent: "You can't blame me for this. If you don't believe me, ask Shi Cui."
Shi Cui told the whole story and said, "My dear, I am new here and I don't want to cause you any trouble. I have tried my best to be patient."
Yuan Yu slapped his head after hearing this and said, "It's all my brother's fault. So, maybe this Lu recognized you at first sight, so he deliberately put on a bad face and implicated you in the feud with my brother."
Yuan Cixian blinked in surprise: "How could he recognize me? I was just last year... Oh, the day I went to the palace with my father to receive the reward was the first day of the lunar month, and all the officials gathered..."
She said that she had flattened her chest, made her eyebrows thicker, and darkened her skin color, so how could he recognize her female body so accurately? It turned out that he had seen this face of hers.
She glanced at Yuan Yu and said, "Then I want to ask, how did you get involved with 'this kind of person'?"
Yuan Yu opened his mouth but couldn't say anything. Seeing her looking at him leisurely, he could only curl his lips and said, "It's because this person has too many quirks. He feels uncomfortable when he sees asymmetrical and uneven objects. You just saw it. He has two identical jade rings hanging from his waist, one on the left and one on the right. How can an ordinary person have such a thing?"
She was stunned for a moment, then nodded after thinking about it: "What a strange man."
No wonder after the dog took away one piece of the jade ring, he simply gave up the other one.
"That's right! You don't know, one time when I was in the court, I was only half an arm's length away from the officials, but he felt uncomfortable all over and asked the officials to pass the message to me one by one, asking me to stand straight. The saint was speaking when he saw the rustling and whispering below, and he got unhappy and asked us what we were doing. He walked out of the line without changing his expression and told the whole court about my embarrassing standing!"
"Look, he is a fourth-rank official, and he must attend every court meeting. As for me, I am a person who does not do any real work. I can only go to the Xuanzheng Hall to see the world on the first and fifteenth day of each month. It's a rare opportunity. Can't he just turn a blind eye to it? Why does he have to bully me like this?"
Yuan Cixian laughed so hard that she couldn't even straighten her back. After a while, she wiped her tears and said, "What happened next? How did the saint punish you?"
Yuan Yu became even more angry: "It was obviously him who was picky regardless of the occasion, but the saint only taught me a lesson!" After saying that, he sighed, "Don't mention it, who told me that I was loved by the saint and had the ability to be arrogant because of my favor."
Yuan Cixian wanted to laugh again, but her expression changed slightly when she heard the last part: "You mean, this Minister Lu is a favorite of the Saint?"
