Chapter 66: Are They a Good Match?

Lu Sui took another step back.

He put one hand behind his back and looked down at the girl in front of him. She was wearing a light red chest-length skirt, which made her already fair skin look even more white. Her raven black hair bun was originally only decorated with a plain silver hairpin, but with the coral red hairpin on her head, she looked even more charming.

A charming and beautiful color.

Like a crabapple in March.

Add to that the girl's delicate facial features, such as her eyebrows and eyes, and her unadorned pink lips...

Lu Sui withdrew his gaze and answered an irrelevant question.

"Are you going to the Meng Mansion like this the day after tomorrow?"

Jiang Yueyao looked down at the light red skirt she was wearing and shook her head.

"Auntie Chun made me a new dress. I'll wear that one when the time comes." She took off the hairpin from her head and carefully placed it in the brocade box. Then she asked Lu Sui, "I want this one, okay?"

Lu Sui glanced at the pearl hairpin she placed aside and asked, "Don't you like this one?"

"I like it, but one is enough. I can't wear too many."

Just as she closed the brocade box, she heard Lu Sui instruct the shopkeeper beside her, "Pack all this up and send someone to deliver it to the house in Chunmen Lane."

"yes."

The shopkeeper came over and personally packed the pieces of jewelry that Jiang Yueyao had chosen. He then put the pearl hairpin into the brocade box and put it into the packed bag.

Jiang Yueyao sighed, "I don't want this."

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Young lady, please accept this gift from the master."

Jiang Yueyao immediately turned around to look at Lu Sui. Lu Sui glanced at her and turned to go downstairs.

She hurried after him: "Sir, I only need one. If you give me too much, I will feel guilty."

"Do you still have a conscience?" Lu Sui snorted.

"Sir, you are such a joke. Although I have a lot of shortcomings, I am a beautiful person with a kind heart. I will remember the kindness others have shown me for the rest of my life."

Lu Sui put his hands behind his back and walked down the stairs slowly.

Hearing this, he asked without turning his head.

"Then what?"

"What then?"

"Remember it forever?"

Jiang Yueyao blinked and hesitated: "Do I have to remember it for two lifetimes?"

Following behind, Qingshu, who was holding five or six brocade boxes of different sizes in his arms, couldn't help but burst out laughing.

But realizing that he had lost his composure, he immediately shut up.

Jiang Yueyao looked back at him: "Did I say something wrong?"

"The girl is right." Qingshu suppressed his laughter.

"Then what are you laughing at?"

Qingshu glanced at his master who had already gone downstairs, then approached Jiang Yueyao and whispered, "Master, do you mean you'll just remember this for the rest of your life? No other indication?"

"For example, give and take." He said and gave Jiang Yueyao a look that said 'you know'.

Jiang Yueyao is so smart and understands things immediately.

"You mean, let me also return a gift to Lord Lu?"

If she hadn't been holding things in both hands, Qingshu would have given her a big thumbs up.

This girl understands everything immediately, that's great!

Jiang Yueyao thought about it and felt that Qingshu’s words made sense.

Whether in Sucheng or in Beijing, Lu Sui helped her so much, but she never thought of repaying him.

Although I should repay the favor of saving my life with my life.

But Lord Lu is pure-hearted and doesn't want to get married. Although she wants to repay his kindness with her body, he is unwilling. After all, she is a girl and she still has some dignity. She can't force him to have sex with her, right?

Since you can't give yourself to me, why not give me something as a gift?

Jiang Yueyao touched her purse. She only brought some change with her when she went out today, which was not enough to buy things here.

She thought about it and asked Qingshu.

"What does your master need?"

Qingshu thought about it seriously.

In fact, his master has everything he needs, including the best food, clothing, and shelter, but...

"Master needs a purse to carry with him, like the one the girl is carrying. It can hold some small change and is convenient for going out."

When Jiang Yueyao heard this, she looked confident.

"Leave it to me."

"Qingshu, don't worry, I'm quite good at needlework and embroidery."

Qingshu glanced at the purse on her waist that had a pattern of either a phoenix or a chicken, and nodded with difficulty: "Young lady, you are beautiful and intelligent, so this little thing will not be difficult for you."

After hearing his praise, Jiang Yueyao became more confident.

After getting on the carriage, Jiang Yueyao couldn't wait to ask Lu Sui.

"What do you like, my Lord?"

"Tricks?" Lu Sui raised an eyebrow. "What tricks?"

"I'm planning to embroider a purse for you. What do you like? Bamboo? Pine? Mountain? Or lake?"

Lu Sui didn't expect that she would take the initiative to give him something.

I became interested immediately.

"What can you embroider?"

Jiang Yueyao said confidently: "I can do everything."

Lu Sui nodded slightly. "I'm not interested in landscapes, pines, or bamboo. If you really want to embroider, then embroider my calligraphy."

"Character?"

Lu Sui glanced at her, opened the secret compartment of the carriage, and took out paper and pen.

He asked Jiang Yueyao to grind ink for her, and he spread out the rice paper and wrote two words on it.

Jiang Yueyao turned her head and read aloud while looking at it.

"Zhong, Qian?"

The two words spoken in the soft Wu dialect made Lu Sui's hand holding the pen stiffen.

But it soon returned to normal.

He put down the pen in his hand and handed her the paper.

Jiang Yueyao reached out to take it, looked at it carefully, and was amazed.

"Sir, your handwriting is so beautiful." She looked up at him, "Can you write one for me too?"

"What to write?" Lu Sui picked up the pen again.

Jiang Yueyao thought for a moment and said, "Let's just write Yaoyao."

Lu Sui picked up his brush and wrote the word "Yao Yao" in one go, as smooth as flowing water. He put down his brush and handed the rice paper to her.

Jiang Yueyao took it and put the papers with their names on them side by side.

She admired it and laughed secretly.

Lu Sui saw her and asked her, "What are you laughing at?"

"This," she pointed at 'Zhongqian' and 'Yaoyao', looked up at Lu Sui and asked, "Are they a good match?"

Lu Sui took a look, curled his lips slightly, and looked playful.

"What? You want to be my mistress again?"

"Oh, my Lord, you are so annoying." Jiang Yueyao carefully put away the two pieces of paper with their names on them, pretending to be shy, "You saw through my secret thoughts."

"You whisper this in my ear several times a day, so how can it be considered sneaky?" Lu Sui also put away the paper and pen, took a handkerchief to wipe his hands, then leaned back slightly, leaned on the soft pillow, and then looked up at Jiang Yueyao.

His eyes fell on her fair face, her thin lips were slightly curled, and she seemed to be in a good mood.

Jiang Yueyao stood up and sat next to him.

Looking at him with her chin in her hand.

The beautiful almond eyes blinked.

"Sir, my love for you is open and aboveboard. What about you? When did you take me in as your concubine?"

She came very close.

The little face, the size of a palm, was right under his eyes.

As long as he lowers his head slightly, he can touch it.

Lu Sui didn't like this. He raised his hand, picked her up and threw her to the opposite seat.

After she sat down firmly, he spoke slowly.

"Of all the noble young men in the capital, you must keep staring at me?"
