"How can anyone not be moved by a beauty like Madam? I'm just being emotional and polite." Mu Qianyu's expression was subtle, but her meaning was very explicit.
I can’t bear to let my child catch the wolf, and I can’t bear to steal the peach myself!
"Giggles, what a person who is so passionate but not polite." Lu Ji covered her lips and laughed, and after a while she said: "I didn't expect that the young master is also a scholar, how wonderful."
"I have spent several years reading the books of sages in vain, and now I have returned them to you, sir." Mu Qianyu shook his head and said.
Lu Ji felt that she had this young boy under control, so she no longer mentioned the matter between the two of them, but said: "Can the young master go with the slave family to meet the husband who is in charge of the family? The slave family cannot fully decide on business matters."
Mu Qianyu was excited, she had been waiting for this moment.
"Okay." She agreed.
"Don't worry, young master, I will definitely not treat you badly in the future." Before she left, she whispered into Mu Qianyu's ear and almost kissed him.
Mu Qianyu was trembling. She could tease her no matter what, but don't really talk. She wouldn't be able to bear it anymore.
Fortunately, Lu Ji was very good at controlling people's hearts, and she stopped her hand at the right time. When she turned around, her hand still slid over the back of her hand, leaving a delicate and warm touch.
Mu Qianyu thought to herself that this woman's ability to seduce people was truly second to none.
"By the way, haven't you asked me your surname?" When they were on the carriage, Lu Ji seemed to have just remembered and asked quickly.
"My surname is Zhang, Zhang Youde." Mu Qianyu replied calmly.
Ren Luji, who has such a flexible mind, was stunned when she heard this name. Who would have thought that such a fairy-like man would have such a down-to-earth name.
"Isn't it bad?" Mu Qianyu asked knowingly.
"Well, the young master's name is really nice and easy to remember." Lu Ji quickly thought of a reason to praise him.
Mu Qianyu nodded and smiled without saying a word.
The carriage arrived all the way to the City Lord's Mansion, and it was time for her acting skills to show off again. Mu Qianyu looked at the plaque on it and said after a moment: "This is Madam's husband's family?"
"Exactly." Lu Ji behaved very normally in front of the servants and said with a smile: "Sir, please invite me. The Lord of the City is very kind to others, so there is no need to be afraid."
Mu Qianyu seemed to hesitate for a moment before saying, "Okay, please ask Madam to lead the way."
"Master, please."
The city lord of this demon clan is equivalent to the feudal official of the Daxuan Dynasty, but the city lord's mansion is much larger than the governor's mansion, and the architectural style is different.
It has gray bricks and black tiles, a pointed roof, and the heads of ferocious beasts carved on the eaves, all of which are lifelike and very shocking.
After walking through a few corridors, you can tell that the people here have a darker aesthetic, which may have a lot to do with the magic they practice.
"The Lord of the City is handling official business, the young master has to wait a moment." Lu Ji led Mu Qianyu to a foyer, which was supported by pillars on all sides and only had a roof above the head, like a large pavilion.
Mu Qianyu sat down and her servant came across a tea bowl made of bronze and engraved with the body of an animal. She had also been accustomed to using this kind of metal tableware recently.
The handicrafts of the demons are not well developed, and there are very few porcelains. The rich use bronze wares, while the poor use iron or stone wares.
While waiting, Lu Ji looked at Mu Qianyu from time to time, and although her words were restrained, her eyes inevitably showed a little love. If she could keep such a person by her side for a long time, what a happy fairy life it would be.
Mu Qianyu didn't respond at all, still looking gentle and calm, but both she and Lu Ji knew that the layer of paper between the two of them had been broken, and it would only be a matter of time before they could go further.
"The city lord has arrived." An announcement sounded.
Mu Qianyu's heart moved and she stood up.
Lu Ji quickly stood up and came out, and said softly to the City Lord who walked into the hall: "City Lord, I have been waiting for a long time. It is so cold outside."
The city lord looked to be about forty years old, with a strong build, a short beard, a sparkle in his eyes, and a deep aura. He did not look like a person obsessed with women, but rather a smart and capable man.
Mu Qianyu had only felt such a powerful aura from Emperor Daxuan before. No wonder even Bei Chenye didn't take action easily.
"Go back when it's cold, and you're here to hook up with a pretty girl wearing so little?" The city lord held Lu Ji in his arms, squeezed her slender waist hard, and said in a slightly unkind tone.
Mu Qianyu's heart shrank slightly. This city lord's eyes were very poisonous, and he was even more difficult to deal with than he looked.
It was hard for her to imagine how Beichen Ye could not expose his identity during the confrontation with him. What a strong psychological quality this required.
"City Lord, what are you talking about? Yesterday, when I brought that daughter's wine to you, didn't you say it tasted good and asked me to find a brewer?" Lu Ji said with aggrieved face.
"The one who makes wine? Him?" The city lord looked at Mu Qianyu.
Apart from the Demon Lord, he has never seen any extremely beautiful man. The messenger two days ago was one, and this is another one in front of him.
It's just that the person in front of me has nothing but a skin, but his strength is not very good. He is a vase worth mentioning.
"Yes, if we can cooperate with this young master, the restaurant's business will definitely be several times better." Lu Ji then planned.
The city lord looked at her with a pair of tiger eyes and said: "Then you keep him by your side. You get the moon first when you are near the water and the tower? Do you think I don't know your little thoughts?"
"Your Majesty, City Lord, you have died unjustly. I have clearly given my heart to you. If you continue to be so suspicious, I will not be able to survive." Lu Ji said and started to cry.
The city lord gave a rare smile and said: "Okay, I won't tell you, and I don't think this kid has the courage."
Mu Qianyu felt that he could not be manipulated as soon as we met, so he said coldly: "It seems that the Lord of the City does not welcome me. In that case, I will take my leave."
"Stay." The city lord said coldly, "Since you are here, sit down and discuss the price. I will not treat you badly."
Emotions were emotions, and he still wanted wine.
Lu Ji also quickly winked at Mu Qianyu, signaling her not to anger the city lord.
Mu Qianyu frowned but chose to sit down and said directly: "I will not sell the brewing recipes. I will direct the brewing and divide the income. I wonder what the City Lord wants?"
The city lord and Lu Ji sat on the main seats, and Lu Ji served the wine diligently.
"I don't want the prescription. I just want you to stay. If we can't divide the accounts, I will give you monthly money, one hundred thousand magic stones every month." The city lord drank a glass of wine and looked dissatisfied.
This peach blossom wine was originally the most delicious wine, but now it tastes like plain water. Even for his own needs, he wanted to keep the winemaker.
Although one hundred thousand magic stones a month was a lot of money, compared with the value of this wine, he still made a lot of money. Thinking of this, he was in a good mood. He took Lu Ji and kissed her on her lips, saying: "Little
The stuff is very capable.”
"City Lord, you are evil, there are still people here." Lu Ji looked shy.
"What are you afraid of? From now on, you will all be one of your own." The city lord said that he did not regard himself as an outsider at all.
