Phoenix moon boundless

  Lu Yu'an quietly walked into the bathtub, surrounded by two maids. Lu Yu'an let the four small hands rub her body freely while glancing at the clothes placed on one side.

  She took a glance and asked: "Is this for me?"

  "Yes."

  "Bring it over."

  One maid handed her clothes over to her hand. Another maid carefully pulled another corner, not letting it fall off.

  Lu Xuan unfolded the clothes and took a look, nodding: "Top-grade Shu brocade, the cup pattern is also exquisite, not bad." Then she handed the garment to the maid, telling them to put it back in its original place.

  The two maids originally thought she was just a young lady from a humble background, but now seeing her composed and dignified, even her comments on the clothes' style were full of flair. They couldn't help but exchange a glance, then lower their heads in unison. Unconsciously, they had developed a sense of reverence for this new mistress, Lu Yue.

  Lu Xuan said up to here, she leaned back against the bucket, closed her eyes and ordered: "I'm hungry, go get a portion of braised rabbit meat."

  This is an imperial order.

  This little girl in front of me is the first one that our young master forcibly brought back, and it's possible that before the mistress enters the house, she will become the number one concubine. Besides, tonight the young master will be indulging her, at this time whatever request she makes, no one dares to refuse.

  Lowering her head, the maid replied: "Yes."

  Having said that, she slowly backed out.

  Soon after Na Bi retreated, Lu Xuan stood up and ordered: "Bring me clothes."

  "Yes." Another maid turned her head away.

  She barely turned around, reached out to grab the clothes placed on one side, when suddenly a severe pain hit the back of her head. It was Lu Yue who had picked up the heavy objects placed on one side and smashed them down. A stream of fresh blood flowed out. The maid's eyes turned black, and she fell to the ground.

  Lü Yu reached out to catch her, checked her breath, and knew she had only fainted. Lü Yu put the maid on the ground. She stepped out of the bucket. Bending down, she took off the maid's clothes and put them on herself, then imitated the maid's hairstyle, wetting her hair and tying it up. Then she walked to one side, picked up the wooden box holding the clothes, lowered her head, and retreated.

  Due to Lu Xuan's overly obedient behavior, the two servants who were originally standing guard outside had wandered off elsewhere, and no one noticed her coming out. After Lu Xuan took a glance and found that the situation was perfect, she quickened her pace.

  She walked to a secluded spot, hid in the lush grass and changed into her new clothes. She rearranged her hair into a different hairstyle, then confidently headed towards the busiest eastern courtyard of the Zhang residence.

  On her way to the East Wing, Lu Xing was very smooth and natural in her expression and movements. When she approached, the maids would still lower their heads to greet her.

  Before long, Lu Yuan entered the East Wing.

  In the eastern courtyard, laughter and chatter could be heard everywhere. Accompanying these sounds were the fragrances of wine and meat as well as the music of the qin and se.

  It seems that the Zhang Mansion has received many guests. Apart from the maidservants who are dressed completely differently from those of the Zhang Mansion, one can also see men and women dressed in luxurious clothes.

  Lu Xuan raised her head and looked around, seeing servants occasionally entering and exiting the building opposite, but couldn't see the gate leading out of the mansion.

  Isn't that what Feng said? His family has had a lot of guests these past few days. With many guests, there are also many people coming and going. She blended in with them, not drawing attention to herself at all.

  But can't ask people.

  Lu Xuan continued to stroll forward leisurely.

  As they walked, people came and went. The lower-class people would bow their heads in respect when they saw Lu Yue wearing exquisite clothes made of high-quality fabric. Meanwhile, the masters would occasionally glance at Lu Yue with interest.

  Luoyin in women's clothing was beautiful, but not stunningly so, and such beauty was not rare in the mansion.

  So they just took a glance.

  Along the winding path, they arrived in front of a beautifully laid out pavilion with a "pin" shape, and to its right was a garden. At this moment, Lu Xuan's eyes narrowed slightly.

  To the right of the garden, there is a small lake, and at the end of the lake, there is a large gate, with an ox cart just entering. It seems that this is the way out.

  As long as you go out of that big gate, it will be fine.

  Lu Xiang went for a walk in the garden.

  Just then, a familiar laugh came, and in the laughter, only Zhang Feng's complacent voice was heard, "You don't understand this, Ah Xue is now saying anything too late, haha."

  As soon as Zhang Feng's voice fell, several young men burst out laughing. At this time, someone shouted: "This song is said to have come from the Shang Mansion and Xiao Wen Mansion, based on the story of Sima Xiangru and Zhuo Wenjun, very fresh and special, all major flower houses in Chengdu have imitated it."

  Another young man called out: "I've also heard people from the Shang household say that, they said, the original sound is best when paired with the sound of a qin and bamboo leaves. And someone else said that singing is the only way to go. But you all know, there are many who can play the qin, but how many can make music by blowing on bamboo leaves? So even though many have imitated them since then, people from the Shang household all say that they're far inferior to what they first heard."

  A surprised inquiry sounded. Faintly, Lu Xuan heard Zhang Feng's lowered voice, "Today's performance is all by masters, it will not disappoint you."

  Mixed in with these sounds was also a burst of piano music.

  Luoyan's footsteps didn't stop, and she continued walking towards the garden in front of her.

  Just arrived at Huayuan Gate, several girls walked out from the other side of the corridor. These girls were all dressed up and had maids by their side.

  Upon seeing Lü Yue, a young girl exclaimed: "Huh, who are you? I've never seen you before!" She tilted her head to size up Lü Yue, with a hint of familiarity in her gaze, as if she had spotted an acquaintance.

  The girl's voice suddenly startled the people around Zuo Jin.

  Lu Xuan turned around, smiled at the several girls, lowered her eyes, bowed to them and said lightly: "The three ladies of Xiao's family have seen several sisters."

  It's just too calm and natural.

  There was a woman who furrowed her brow and whispered: "Xiao Shi? Which Xiao Shi? Has someone invited Xiao Shi?"

  Although she was puzzled, she couldn't help but feel that way. Whoever saw Lu Xuan's calm and tranquil face would not suspect that she had an ulterior motive.

  The girl who spoke first immediately followed up and said: "Oh, it's Eldest Sister Xiao. Hehe, I haven't seen you for the past two days." She was obviously a lively one, and she bounced over to say happily: "Eldest Sister Xiao, why are you still going to the flower garden? Weren't we supposed to go listen to music together? I heard that this guqin and sheng duet tells the story of Sima Xiangru and Zhuo Wenjun. It's said to be really good, passed down from the Shang Xiao manor."

  As she spoke, she pulled Lu Xuan along with her towards the building in the shape of a Chinese character for "productivity".

  Lu Xuan smiled faintly and said in a low voice, "Excuse me. I have something to attend to." After speaking, she beckoned to the maid on one side and said, "Take me to change my clothes."

  The maid hadn't even responded, when the mischievous girl pushing Luoyin chimed in clearly, "I know I know, there's some over there too." She pointed towards the pavilion shaped like a Chinese character for 'product' with her hand, and pushed Luoyin to quicken his pace.

  Lu Yun furrowed her brow slightly.

  But with this delay, the sound of the piano and the laughter of the young people had grown closer and louder.

  Lowering her eyelids. Lu Yue, who had run out of excuses, saw herself getting closer and closer to Zhang Feng, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: I don't know if there will be anyone among those young men and women that I've met before?

  She had met a few people like Xiao Yan Ati, but in such a big city as Chengdu, there were countless rich young masters, and she really didn't have much hope.

  Just as Lu Xiang was lost in thought, a cluster of willows blocked his view. At the end of the willows, in front of the garden of three pavilions hidden among the lush trees, a beauty was playing the zither on the pavilion, while a dozen or so young men sat or gathered nearby.

  The girl who was holding Lu Xiang's hand, Ge Ge, smiled and said: "For those people from Luoyang, this year's flower appreciation party is too late, the peach blossoms have already wilted, what flowers are we appreciating?"

  As soon as she finished speaking, another girl laughed and said: "Although it's appreciating flowers, it's also appreciating people. Doesn't the Tao family's sister know?" As soon as this was said, all the girls started teasing at the same time. Hidden in their playful rebukes, there were bursts of laughter.

  As they arrived, more than a dozen young men on that side turned their heads to look over.

  Lu Xuan raised her head.

  Just as she looked up, Zhang Feng, who was sitting with a group of young people and engaged in a heated discussion, also glanced over.

  He didn't see Luoyin, who was now in front of a maid, with girls by her side who had regained their composure. She deliberately hid her figure, and Zhang Feng looked for a while but couldn't find Luoyin's shadow among the twenty or thirty girls including the maid.

  Lu Xuan glanced at the crowd in the garden and secretly sighed: There really wasn't anyone she knew here.

  However, after coming here, these young girls who have just fallen in love obviously put their minds on the many boys not far away, and no one paid attention to her.

  Lu Xuan slowed down her footsteps, preparing to fall behind unnoticeably and then quietly slip away.

  At this time, the Taoist girl who had just let go turned her head and looked at Lu Yue. She giggled and said: "Sister Xiao, why did you fall behind? Let's go take a look over there to see if the lake is good or not! Hehe, the changing room is also in that direction." Seeing Lu Yue stop, she leaned forward and hugged her arm again, saying: "Sister Xiao, my third brother is just like you, always with a straight face. But he's really nice to me, so I liked Sister Xiao as soon as I saw her."

  "Really?" Lu Xuan smiled wryly.

  Helplessly, she was dragged by a skipping and jumping Taoist maiden towards the lake on one side.

  Watching the Tao family girl circling around a willow tree, listening to her laughter, Lu Yue hooked up the corner of his mouth and looked around.

  Seeing her absent-minded, the Tao family girl called out again: "Xiao sister, aren't you going to change your clothes? I'll call my maid to take you there." As she spoke, she was about to shout loudly.

  Lu Ying hastily stopped her and said softly: "Speak softly, I'll ask when I get there." After that, she took a step and walked away.

  Just then, she faintly heard a girl on her right side softly ask: "This year's flower appreciation meeting, has the Xiao family also been invited?"

  "It seems like no one has mentioned it."

  "That young lady said her surname is Xiao. I don't know which Xiao family she belongs to."

  "This year isn't it that several aunts were added? With Xiao's aunt coming, it doesn't count as strange."

  "Really." Amidst the gossip, it seemed like the women had shifted their attention elsewhere.

  Lu Xuan sighed secretly.

  Lu Yue had just taken less than ten steps when she was suddenly stopped by a voice. "You, turn around!"

  This voice sounds a bit familiar, and Lu Xuan suddenly remembered that it seemed to be the young man who had taken a liking to her at the city gate that day, whose name was Ah Xu!

  That man called out and strode towards Lu Xuan. At this time, Zhang Feng behind him was loudly shouting, "A Xu, A Xu, come over for a moment..." A Xu ignored Zhang Feng, and in the blink of an eye, he had already arrived behind Lu Xuan.

  His commanding voice came, "This girl, who are you?" The commanding voice had a few doubts, clearly suspicious of her... Still making up for yesterday's update. Next will be today's. RQ
