A pretty young woman stood in front of the window. She pushed open the window with her slender hands, revealing half of her charming face. Her eyes were like a clear spring and like blooming poppies. She turned around on Zhu Pingan's face and raised her cherry lips.
radian.
After seeing Zhu Pingan raise his head, the young woman stretched out a pink and white finger to hook him, and then closed the window.
She has voluptuous red lips, charming eyes, and a natural aura of beauty. Every frown, every smile, and every move carries a seductive aura.
"I'm sorry, old man, I'll buy it next time."
Zhu Ping'an withdrew his gaze, put the watermelon in his hand back into the car, bowed his hand apologetically to the old man selling melons, and then motioned to the boy to take him upstairs. It was not because of how charming the young woman was, but because of her identity.
The young woman on the second floor, Zhu Ping'an, had met once before. The last time she took a sea ship home in Tianjin Port, she stood next to Miss Yan Er and was choked by Li Shu for a long time. She was Yan Shifan's concubine.
Liniang.
Ancient times are different from modern times. Most girls never leave the house. Now that Liniang is upstairs, Yan Shifan must be upstairs too. He has to go up to the second floor by himself.
Red bricks and green tiles, steep eaves, and several consecutive pavilions and pavilions form the "Baoxiangzhai" restaurant in front of you in the style of a palace. Two vermilion flower tables and black lacquer branches are erected beside the door of the restaurant.
The interior decoration of the restaurant is even more elegant and luxurious, guests gather here, and the waiters and maids come and go enthusiastically.
Zhu Pingan followed the boy to the second floor. The boy opened the private room door and asked Zhu Pingan to come in. After Zhu Pingan came in, he closed the door and waited outside.
After Zhu Pingan entered the private room, he was startled when he saw that there was only one charming young woman in the large private room.
Why is Li Niang the only one in the private room?! There isn't even a girl, it's obviously abnormal.
The ancients were wary of melon fields and plum blossoms. A man and a woman were alone in the same room. If Yan Shifan misunderstood him, it would be difficult for him to explain...
It is not suitable to stay here for a long time. Zhu Ping'an came to a conclusion in his mind. He raised his hands and asked with a normal expression, "Ping'an has met Madam. What is Madam's mission?"
"Hey, the Number One Scholar has a good memory, and he can still remember the slave family, unlike some heartless ones..." Liniang held an embroidered handkerchief in her slender hands, covered her mouth and smiled, her whole body full of air.
"Ma'am, you're just kidding. What's your mission, madam?" Zhu Pingan stood up straight, raised his hands and asked again.
"Why are you anxious, Master Zhuangyuan? Are you afraid that the slave family will eat you? I heard that Master Zhuangyuan is an expert in appreciating delicious food. But by chance, the slave family just hired a cook from the north. Today, I specially ordered the cook to make a dish.
Let's sit down and taste the food and wine. Let me see if this cook is a good cook." Lin Niang blinked her watery eyes, pointed to a table full of delicacies, and slightly pursed her red lips.
The ancients said: If you show courtesy for nothing, you are either committing adultery or stealing.
"Ping'an grew up eating whole grains, so he doesn't know how to appreciate food. I'm afraid he will disappoint his wife." Zhu Ping'an shook his head slightly and declined politely while standing there.
"Giggle... After eating too much grains and cereals, don't you want to change the number one scholar to delicacies from the mountains and seas?" Lin Niang said with a slight smile and a pun.
There seems to be something in the words?
After hearing this, Zhu Ping'an was slightly startled, then slightly raised the corners of his lips, and replied seriously, "Ping'an has been used to eating whole grains since he was a child. If he doesn't eat them for a day, he will not get used to it."
From the moment he walked in, Zhu Ping'an behaved politely, respectfully and at a distance, and gave formulaic answers with a scholarly air, as if he didn't understand the style at all.
It's so boring. If you live with this kind of person for the rest of your life, I don't know how bored you will be. I don't know why Lan Lan likes this guy. Lin Niang glanced at Zhu Pingan with her watery eyes, and then stroked the beautiful face on her cheek.
Ruyu raised her chin a little, opened her red lips and asked another question, "I heard that you got married in your hometown."
"Madam, you are well informed. Ping An is about to send a wedding invitation to Mr. Yan." Zhu Ping An answered with his hands raised as before.
While Zhu Ping'an was chatting with Yan Shifan's beloved concubine Li Niang in the private room upstairs, the old man selling watermelons downstairs was still shouting hard, and several groups of people came over to ask about the price of melons with interest. However, after learning the price of melons,
, all shook their heads and left in disappointment. It was too expensive and not worth it. If you have distinguished guests at home, you can just buy one. Normally, who would spend several times more money to eat this? It is better to wait a few more days for the watermelon to come on the market.
Buy again.
Upstairs in the private room, no matter how Liniang made innuendos or puns, Zhu Pingan remained unchanged in response to all changes.
"Okay, I won't mince words for you. When people go to higher places, water flows to lower places. This truth must be understood by the number one scholar better than a woman like me. There is a girl in my relative's family who is the legitimate daughter of the family.
She is even more beautiful than the fairy in the painting. She is not only gentle and considerate, but also well-educated. She just came out of the palace this year and is not yet married. The slave family believes that only a talented man like the Number One Scholar can match the beauty of my relatives."
The picture is poor and can be seen.
After several insinuations and insinuations were dismissed by Zhu Pingan in an understatement, Liniang changed her approach and stated her intention directly.
After finishing speaking, Liniang stared straight at Zhu Pingan with her starry eyes.
She was actually a matchmaker for her relatives?! This surprised Zhu Pingan. She knew that she was already married, but she was still a matchmaker for her! Do you look like Chen Shimei so much?!
"Thank you madam for your love. It's just that Ping An already has a good wife at home. Besides, Ping An is a rundown son of a farmer. He is really not a good match. I dare not wrong your lady." Zhu Ping'an bowed and bowed, and declined apologetically.
You actually refused without even thinking?!
Lin Niang glanced at Zhu Ping'an with her watery eyes, raised her eyebrows slightly, and still had a smile on her lips, "There is a saying that goes well, there are people in the court who are good at becoming officials. The number one scholar has been worried about the memorial recently, right?
, my relative has been an official in the court for a long time, and he is also a bit mean-spirited in the Ministry of Punishment. If the number one scholar and my relatives become in-laws, all he has to do is send a message to the Ministry of Punishment, and the number one scholar will no longer have to get angry about the memorial.
With the qualifications of the number one scholar, if someone in the court supports him, I believe it will not be difficult for him to rise to prominence."
Coercion and inducement
"Thank you madam for your concern. Pingan just got married and I don't want to take a concubine yet." Hearing this, Zhu Pingan twitched the corners of his lips and bowed to salute again. As for what, it's so generous to be a matchmaker! He's already married, and he's not handsome.
, it doesn’t matter, there are many people better than you, so why waste time on yourself.
"Concubine?! Giggling" Liniang covered her mouth and giggled, and glanced at Zhu Ping'an mockingly, "We don't have a concubine in our family yet."
