Chapter 103: A Date at Dusk

  Lu Xuan looked at him and blinked her eyes before saying calmly and naturally, "Not bad, I've also promised another young master."

  This remark was beyond everyone's expectation.

  Everyone thought she was a princess from the previous dynasty, but even so, she wouldn't dare to say such shameless words with such calmness.

  For a moment, the fat-faced manager's face turned green, and his eyes looking at Lu Yue were filled with even more doubt. He thought in shock: Could it be that Lang Jun hadn't thoroughly investigated this girl's background? If this woman was of poor character and had loose morals, how could she be worthy of entering the Zhang family's gate?

  He had already thought of going back to clear up the matter.

  Seeing the changing expression of the fat manager, Lu Xuan lowered her eyes and said slowly: "Please take these things back. And please tell your husband that I really don't remember what agreement we had in the past..."

  At this point, Lu Xiang winked at Lu Yun, and immediately Lu Yun walked in front of his sister, waved his right hand to the steward, and said bluntly: "Everyone, we're going to have dinner, please leave!"

  He was actually being driven away without any courtesy. The fat manager, who had been in charge of the Zhang family's business for many years, had never received such a look from an ordinary commoner before, and he let out a loud hum, shouting: "Let's go."

  Then a group of people came in a mighty and majestic manner, and before long they lifted those boxes again and returned with great momentum.

  Watching the person in charge leave, Lu Yun turned her head to look at her sister and asked curiously: "Sister, who are they?"

  "I don't know either." Lu Xuan sighed and said: "I really don't know who this Zhang Feng is."

  This is strange indeed.

  Lu Yun was secretly depressed.

  This irrelevant matter, Lu Xuan didn't bother to care about it. She turned her head and smiled at Lu Yun: "Ayun did a great job today. Sister will go buy some meat to have a good meal."

  Lu Yun recalled today's delightful moments, nodding repeatedly and smiling with narrowed eyes.

  Carrying a basket, Lu Xuan went out of the house door.

  She had just walked fifty or sixty steps, and hadn't yet reached the street. Lu Xuan suddenly turned her head and looked towards a cow cart parked in front of her, about a hundred paces away.

  After exchanging a glance with the owner of the ox cart, Lu Xuan stepped forward.

  He walked straight to the front of the ox cart, and looked at the thin scholar sitting in the carriage. He bowed and said: "Is the master well? Lu Xian has been busy with various things since arriving in Chengdu, and did not have time to report to the master, it is indeed impolite... The thin scholar lifted his head, looking steadily at Lu Xian.

  He seemed to have no reaction at all.

  In fact, he was also very difficult to react. To know, his ox cart had just arrived here. The stay time was less than half a minute, and this ox cart, the driver, as well as himself, were all unremarkable.

  This little girl in front of me really can't see his reason.

  Staring at Lu Ying for a moment, the thin and weak scholar suddenly understood why his master would be interested in her.

  He smiled and said: "Little girl is indeed exceptionally clever... Alright, let's go see the master together."

  Lu Xuan stared at Wen Shi for a moment, then suddenly asked: "I wonder how Master's mood is?"

  Wen Shi burst out laughing and said: "When Master's mood is good, what should the young lady do? When Master's mood is bad, what should the young lady do?"

  Lu Xuan replied solemnly: "If the master is in a good mood, Lu Wen will go to request an audience. If not, it's not too late to go another day."

  "Wen Shi Le said: 'The lord's mood is very good.'"

  He stepped out of the ox cart and said seriously, "Little girl, please." Lu Xuan hesitated and said, "Lu Wen is dressed like this, it's really not suitable for a grand hall, please wait a moment." Her current clothes were not only ordinary but also women's clothing, which didn't match "Lu Wen"'s identity at all.

  The scholar looked her up and down before saying, "In the master's mansion, there are all sorts of clothes for young ladies, suitable for every season. Both men's and women's clothing are available. Young lady, just get in the carriage and everything will be taken care of by the master, please!" This time, his tone was very firm, clearly not wanting Lu Yue to hesitate any further.

  It's really come for me!

  Lu Xuan looked at him and nodded: "Then I'll trouble you." She climbed onto the ox cart.

  Lu Yuanyuan was after all a young lady, and the young master's own chosen daughter-in-law, so that thin scholar could only call another ox cart to follow behind.

  At this time, the sun had not yet begun to set in the west and was still shining brightly, emitting heat. Sitting in the ox cart, Lu Xing looked at the people coming and going, thinking quietly to herself.

  After walking for about half an hour in the crowded traffic, what appeared in front of Luoyin was a heavily guarded place surrounded by walls.

  Looking at the wall that was built to be three or four meters high, and then looking around at the deep and long alleys that connected in all directions, as well as the courtyards that were clearly those of noble residences, Lu Xuan lowered her head.

  Before long, the ox cart arrived at a side gate and drove in.

  Along the side door, after circling several gardens, the ox cart stopped. The thin scholar called out to Lu Yue: "It's getting late, don't delay Master's important matters, let's go."

  Lu Xuan didn't leave, she beckoned a maid over with a wave of her hand and smiled: "Where is my cloak?"

  A group of people who are used to walking around here have a very matter-of-fact tone.

  That official couldn't help but glance at her again, and then called over another woman, saying: "She is Lu Shi, take her to change clothes."

  "Yes."

  But in a moment, Lu Xuan appeared. Unlike before, she had changed into a light blue scholar's long gown and wore a veil on her head.

  Seeing her approach, Lin Wen said, "Let's go."

  Lu Xuan followed behind him, walking forward.

  Contrary to Lu Yun's expectations, the scholar led her on a winding path and exited through another side door of the mansion. Outside the side door, a luxurious and spacious carriage was parked, with four guards in plain clothes standing beside it.

  That gentleman led her to the carriage and then said: "Please."

  Lu Xuan looked at him, "Sir, aren't you leaving?"

  "The master has never called you down." Wen Shi looked at Lu Yue with a smile and said, "Do you recognize this mansion, young lady? The master said that if there's anything in the future, come find him here."

  He bowed to Lu Xiang and said, "I'll send the young lady here right away. It's getting late, let's not keep Master Hou waiting any longer, please."

  Lu Xuan pursed her lips and bowed to him before getting on the carriage.

  The carriage was not only spacious, but also luxurious. The curtains alone were made of a material as soft and misty as a dream, and the walls were inlaid with three priceless night pearls. As for the tables, the wood used had a faint scent that was not sandalwood.

  As Lu Xiang was lost in thought, the horse carriage had already moved forward, rushing into the night that was gradually turning yellowish.

  Before long, the carriage arrived at a large lake. The willows by the lake drooped down along the water's edge, and there were nine winding turns that stretched all the way to the opposite bank.

  At this moment, in the center of the distant view, that is, on the lake, there was a huge empty space in the shape of Tai Chi yin and yang. The place was brightly lit, with fragrant sleeves flowing. Countless men and women dressed in luxurious attire walked among them. On both sides of the lake, under the reflection of sunset and lamplight, small paper boats and wooden boats slowly floated closer. Those little boats were filled with all kinds of fine wines and delicacies.

  At this moment, the distant red clouds are spread across half of the sky, burning with the eternal passion of nature. In front of me, on the vast lake that requires careful observation to see the opposite shore, there is a scene of lanterns and wine, with rouge and fragrance added.

  Has Luoyin ever seen such a scene? Even in the books of saints, it has never been mentioned.

  Slowly getting off the horse carriage, Lu Xuan almost stared blankly. It's just that she said it was almost, but her usual calm and composure made her behave as usual.

  At this time, a low and magnetic voice came, "Leave."

  It was indeed the voice of the nobleman.

  Lu Xuan hastily turned her head back, and the person she saw was a nobleman who had unknowingly stood behind her at some point, wearing a veil hat and an extremely ordinary dark robe.

  This person hid his face, covered those eyes, and looked like just an ordinary young master of a wealthy family. Although still eye-catching, he no longer gave people a strong, breath-taking presence.

  When Lu Xuan saw him looking at himself, he smiled slightly behind the veil, and the nobleman stretched out his hand to hold Lu Xuan's hand!

  Just as his fingers touched hers, Lu Xuan suddenly stiffened, using a great deal of effort to prevent herself from showing anything out of the ordinary.

  She had been involved with only three men from childhood to adulthood: her father, her younger brother, and Zeng Changzhi.

  She felt Lu Xuan's stiffness and saw the nobleman gazing at her with a smile that was not quite a smile.

  Although separated by a layer of gauze, Lu Xuan still let out a mocking tone. At this moment, Lu Xuan tugged at the corner of her lips and said lightly: "Two husbands holding hands while walking, it's inevitable that people would think they are 'cut sleeves'. Lu Wen thinks, it's better not to hold hands." She was really afraid of losing her composure, so she had to find an excuse.

  The nobleman smiled slightly and said, "Cut sleeve? This saying is not wrong."

  Lu Xuan was stunned.

  Then she realized that this person would never care about others' opinions and ideas, let alone be deterred by her one sentence.

  At that moment when Lu Xiang was lost in thought, the nobleman was staring at her lazily.

  His demeanor is languid, leisurely, and casual, yet he has a very clear and unyielding persistence.

  Lu Xuan understood his persistence.

  She gritted her teeth and slowly stretched out her hand, slowly, actively, as he wished, grasped his hand...

  At that moment when their fingers intertwined, Lu Ying's body stiffened again, and it took a lot of effort to prevent her hands from trembling slightly.

  Feeling the warmth of his palm, Lu Xuan made an effort to suppress the distractions in her mind and concentrated on holding on tighter.

  Just then, the nobleman let out a mocking laugh and slowly said: "It turns out that Lu Yue still knows how to be afraid..." He thought she was too clever, always able to sense his emotional changes without him having to say a word, so he once thought she had no respect for him, only audacity.

  He was so close that Lu Xuan could smell the faint dragon smoke fragrance on his body, as well as a unique male musk that belonged to him, which was both refreshing and thick.

  This kind of man's, masculine aura, for Lu Xuan, was so unfamiliar, so unsettling...

  Swallowing her unease, Lu Xuan lowered her eyelids and replied: "Lang Jun's appearance surpasses others, his demeanor is majestic, he shines like the sun, only plants and trees can remain unmoved by him."

  She once again said he was "handsome", knowing full well that he couldn't possibly like those four words, yet she continued to provoke him.

  A nobleman stared at her for a moment, then suddenly stretched out his arm, pulled Luoyue over, and pulled half of her body into his embrace. His other hand gently wrapped around her waist...

  He wrapped his arms around her waist, lowered his head, and whispered softly into her ear, "A Xuan, you've fallen into my trap... what can I do? Your reputation is gone!"

  It's the last few days of this month, shouldn't everyone throw away their pink tickets? Hehe, I just need everyone to help me keep my new book's pink ticket in second place. By the way, the most rankings are overturned at the end of the month, so everyone please help me pull open some distance. RQ
