Lin Mengya shook her head. She is like Mr. Zhu and Mr. Mei. She is busy with her own affairs every day. She has become a spinning top. How can she still have time to care about these things
Looking at her clear eyes, Qiu Yu couldn't help but laugh.
He thought that Princess Yu had heard about it a long time ago, but he didn't expect it, he didn't expect it.
"This Mr. Zhu is the owner of the North Tower. Your painting will definitely catch his eye."
Lin Mengya always felt that there was something in Qiu Yu's words.
But when he was about to ask further questions, he discovered that someone else had already arrived behind the screen.
"I heard that a new and talented young lady has arrived. I am very curious. I wonder which family the young lady is from?"
Lin Mengya raised an eyebrow, Mr. Zhu? Shouldn't it be a male
But what appeared in front of him was a woman. She was still a woman wearing a snow-white silk scarf, covering her face.
Wearing a bright red fur cloak, it looks like a moving flame.
The two eyes exposed were carefully modified. It just seems to be able to penetrate people's hearts, but it doesn't feel sharp and aggressive.
Lin Mengya met her eyes and knew that the woman in front of her was definitely a very smart character.
At the moment, he only showed a shallow smile, neither explaining who he was nor taking the initiative to greet him.
"This is my second cousin. I heard that there are many talented people in the north building, especially the plum blossoms in the backyard are in full bloom, so I wanted to come and see them. Mr. Zhu, you are well."
Qiu Yu looked like a familiar customer, smiling and saluting.
As soon as he heard that she was Qiu Yu's cousin, Mr. Zhu's eyes became a little softer.
"Really, since she is Mr. Qiu's cousin, she can just bring her here. It's all because I, an old servant, don't know how to behave. You two are laughing at her."
Lin Mengya said nothing, since she was doing business. That Mr. Zhu must be an all-rounder. It's nice to say it, but it doesn't mean anything.
At the moment, he just nodded slightly, thinking he understood.
"I heard from Uncle Li that this young lady has outstanding painting skills, so I am anxious to come and enjoy it. I don't know, which masterpiece is it?"
There was no sarcasm in Mr. Zhu's tone, as if he really came to appreciate the painting.
Qiu Yu pursed his lips and smiled, then pointed out Lin Mengya's 'masterpiece'.
Mr. Zhu turned sideways and was shocked when he saw the cartoon. Then, for some reason, he stared at it for several minutes.
"It's... It's really a vivid work. This painting - I am ignorant. However, I think this lady has misunderstood something. The plum blossoms in the backyard are because the nobles in Kyoto like them. I did this because I wanted to have fun with the people. I didn’t do it intentionally, but I didn’t expect the lady to misunderstand it.”
Mr. Zhu's explanation was obviously trying to hide something.
Having fun with the people is just an excuse for them to show off.
"I see, I misunderstood Mr. Zhu, I'm sorry."
Both parties found a staircase to get down. Qiu Yu also understood the reason, but Uncle Li was still confused.
What does this painting mean
"Mr. Qiu, what do you call this young lady?"
Lin Mengya was about to reply that her surname was Lin, but she changed her words when she spoke.
"My surname is Zuo, and my given name is Hui. Mr. Zhu, I'm glad to meet you."
Qiu Yu's eyes flashed with light, but he just smiled and did not expose her.
"Miss Zuo, it's a pleasure to meet you. You two, please come inside."
Mr. Zhu was very generous and immediately led two people into the inner hall.
Lin Mengya glanced at her painting and followed it in.
Only Uncle Li still looked at the paintings on the screen with a puzzled look on his face. He could only see a girl in yellow and a young man in red.
"Master Qiu stayed behind. I am still unclear about something. What does this painting mean?"
Qiu Yu looked at Uncle Li, but just smiled and shook his head. This Princess Yu was really naughty beyond his expectation.
"This is it - the fox seduces the chicken, with evil intentions."
After saying that, he followed Lin Mengya, leaving only Uncle Li, who couldn't figure out which one was the chicken and which one was the fox.
Following Mr. Zhu, Lin Mengya now realized that Wenyuan was different from ordinary wine shops and brothels.
If it compares with exquisiteness and care, it must be the Ruyi Building now under her name. But the North Tower has its own leisurely atmosphere.
Behind the screen, there was no bustle of people coming and going, everyone was quiet and strolling around.
In the center of the courtyard is not a stage, but a tall plum blossom. But next to it, there were a few trees as thick as buckets.
However, except for the plum blossoms in bloom, the other three trees looked like withered trees.
In comparison, it blooms in other seasons. What made Lin Mengya a little curious was why these trees were entangled with each other, as if they were the same tree.
It seems that Mr. Zhu is also a man of great quality and good heart.
"It's a coincidence that Mr. Qiu and Miss Zuo are here today. The plum blossoms in the backyard are blooming better. All distinguished guests are admiring the plum blossoms in the backyard. I wonder if you two want to go and have a look too?"
Mr. Zhu was considerate, but Lin Mengya thought about it and politely declined.
Although she doesn't like to go out in social situations, she still has some reputation in Kyoto's aristocratic circles. Zuo's surname is her mother's surname. Speaking of which, she just didn't want to be recognized.
"No need, I don't like crowded places either. How about Mr. Zhu choose a good place for me to enjoy the plum blossoms. As for my brother—"
Lin Mengya looked at Qiu Yu, ready to ask for the man's opinion.
"Me? Of course I have to be with my cousin. Otherwise, my aunt will skin me."
Looking at that harmless face, talking seriously, Lin Mengya smiled sweetly.
However, Mr. Zhu was a smart man. He immediately said "please" and led the two of them to the second floor.
She pushed open a spacious private room, which was unexpectedly grand and simple. In this room, tables, chairs and benches are all made of wood.
However, upon taking a closer look, Lin Mengya couldn't help but feel that it was so ingenious. These wooden tables, chairs, and benches were not made the day after tomorrow, but seemed to have originally looked like this!
"Are you two satisfied with this place? Although it is quiet here, it is the best place to appreciate plum blossoms. Thousands of lotuses and hundreds of flowers are waiting for these two distinguished guests. Please be patient. If anything happens, send someone to look for you. I am."
Mr. Zhu nodded and saluted, but the man retreated.
Afterwards, two women, both still veiled, came up to salute and obediently closed the door. Probably, he was guarding the door.
"Strange, why are the women in this building wearing veils?"
Lin Mengya asked as she sat at the table minding her own business.
Qiu Yu smiled lightly, picked up the tea cup on the table, and drank by himself.
"The so-called literary garden is not an ordinary place to show off. Therefore, most of these maids naturally wear veils. Maybe they don't want to serve people with sex."
Lin Mengya thought about it, and it was right. Regardless of whether they are literati or poets, most of them are men. As long as you are a man, you will have the common problems of men.
Even Long Tianyu is a greedy person, let alone those men.
However, when she thought of Long Tianyu, waves of discomfort passed through her heart. Although Mr. Zhu is veiled, he must be a very capable person to be able to run the Bei Tower.
Could it be possible that she was the one who was flirting with each other in the study that night
"Brother Qiu, do you know if there is any place in this city named after plum blossoms?"
Brother Qiu was called without any hesitation. Qiu Yu's affection for Lin Mengya greatly increased. The woman in front of him had a noble temperament and a superior status, but she did not have the arrogance of a noble woman at all.
After thinking for a while, he replied:
"I'm afraid this is the one with the plum blossom as its name. In the north building, in addition to the Mr. Zhu, there is also a Mr. Plum. It's just that her dragon has never seen its end. During the year, most of them are bamboos. The young master manages it all by himself. What? Are you still not satisfied with the plum blossoms here? There is probably no place more beautiful than here in this city."
Lin Mengya didn't hear a word of Qiu Yu's words.
The one with the plum blossom as its name is obviously the North Tower.
He stood up and walked to the window. Outside, there are clusters of red plum blossoms blooming beautifully. No wonder, even Long Tianyu couldn't resist the cold fragrance of plum blossoms.
The person who can open Beiyuan is naturally not an ordinary person. She let out a gentle breath, obviously she had found the root cause, but why didn't she feel any relief in her heart
Even if she knew that the other party was one of the owners of the North Building, what could she do? No grace, shouting like a shrew. She is not bored to that extent yet.
The blood-red plum blossoms became even more dazzling, but Lin Mengya turned around, pushed open the box door, and walked out quickly.
"where are you going?"
Qiu Yu just asked, but did not chase him out.
Judging from Princess Yu's appearance, there must be something urgent. Through the door, I saw the figure disappearing around the corner of the stairs, but his brows furrowed slightly.
I heard from the judge of Tai Hospital that recently, many ministers have signed a petition requesting foreign doctors to come to treat the emperor.
Among them, the one with the highest voice is Princess Yu, who has repeatedly accomplished extraordinary feats.
However, from what he saw, Princess Yu was quite smart. However, the imperial palace is not as good as the civilians, let alone the military camp. I'm afraid that Princess Yu doesn't understand the situation in the palace.
Since she can call him big brother, he still has to give her some advice on some things.
After making up his mind, he also left the courtyard of the North Tower and walked towards Prince Yu's Mansion.
Lin Mengya stumbled along the way, as if she had lost her soul. Her heart was in confusion and her mind was like mush.
