Chapter 49 You are very heavy
Jiang Xue was a little surprised.
The owner of Wanbaolou should be a wealthy man, right? Although the young man in front of him had a noble air, he was more elegant and did not look like a wealthy businessman.
But she didn't show much on her face. She just nodded to Ji Yan and greeted him, "Master Ji Yan."
Ji Yan put away the fan and did not answer, but looked at Jiang Xue with a playful look.
Su Yu said, "Ji Yan, put away your frivolous thoughts, this is Miss Jiang San."
"Jiang," Ji Yan emphasized the word, and then continued, "Third Miss."
Fu Dong felt a little worried when he saw his prince being stared at like this, and wanted to take a step forward.
He Zhilin, however, stood in front of Jiang Xue before her.
Jiang Xue opened her mouth and asked tentatively, "Master Ji Yan, do you recognize me?"
Ji Yan shook his head, but suddenly put away his playful expression, waved his fan again, and laughed: "There is no beauty in the world, and a beauty is pleasing to the eyes."
"Miss Jiang San is truly as beautiful as a fairy. This is why I lost my composure."
A trace of anger appeared on He Zhilin's face.
Su Yu saw that something was wrong, and hurried forward to Ji Yan and said, "Miss Jiang San wanted to come to your Wanbao Tower to have a look. I thought I was familiar with you, so I volunteered to bring them here. You have to give me some face for today's business."
Ji Yan said cheerfully, "Of course, with all the ladies here, how can I cheat you?"
"Please."
Ji Yan stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation towards the gate of Wanbao Tower.
But his eyes were always fixed on Jiang Xue.
Jiang Xue felt uncomfortable being stared at by him. She was about to pull Lu Qiongshuang's hand to go in with her, but when she stretched out her hand, she didn't have time to grab Lu Qiongshuang.
Lu Qiongshuang had already taken big strides and rushed inside.
Jiang Xue was silent. In other families, girls would not be kept at home when they grow up, but Lu Qiongshuang was different. Whether she was a child or an adult, she would not keep any new and interesting things in front of her.
"Would you like to come in? If you want to pick out gifts, you can go somewhere else."
He Zhilin's voice sounded softly beside his ear.
Jiang Xue looked at him and said, "This place is unmatched in Jijing, not to mention the whole Ji State. Now that you are here, why not go in and take a look? It's just——"
She glanced at Ji Yan and said calmly, "Zuo is just a playboy."
He Zhilin nodded and said, "I'll accompany you."
Jiang Xue smiled and walked towards the gate of Wanbao Tower.
Ji Yan was still waiting for her at the door. When he saw her approaching, he said, "Miss Jiang San, what treasure are you looking for?"
As Jiang Xue walked, she said, "Master Ji Yan, I want to find something. Is it possible that it is in this building?"
"Round or square, from the south or north of the sky, from the air or in the water, for decoration or - to kill people," Ji Yan narrowed his eyes and smiled, "We have everything. I guarantee Miss Jiang San will be satisfied."
"I'm here to look for birthday gifts, not to hire someone to kill someone." Jiang Xue said calmly, "However, Master Ji Yan, you actually have items that can kill people? Selling sharp weapons, have you reported this to the authorities?"
"Miss Jiang, what you said is true," Ji Yan said with a smile, shaking his paper fan. "I have been doing business for a long time, and I have learned a lot of tricks. Miss Jiang, just go shopping with confidence. If I do business with you, I will not be able to enter the government."
Jiang Xue frowned. What did they mean that if he did business with her, he wouldn't be able to enter the government?
Before Jiang Xue had time to think deeply, Lu Qiongshuang pulled her over.
"Sister, I heard from Sister Su Yu that this building has eight floors. The floor we are on now is full of antiques and treasures. They are valuable, but they are not my favorites."
"Sister, can you accompany me to the top floor first? I heard there are many exquisite weapons there!"
Jiang Xue said helplessly: "Are you accompanying me to pick birthday gifts, or am I accompanying you to broaden your horizons?"
Lu Qiongshuang said cunningly: "Sister, accompany me to broaden my horizons first, and then I will accompany you to choose birthday gifts."
Ji Yan echoed, "Miss Jiang Si, the weapons in my building were all made by the world's most famous craftsmen. Most of the treasures in this building are unique and will never be found again."
Lu Qiong looked at Jiang Xue with eager eyes.
Jiang Xue pulled Fu Dong to her side and refused, "Let this girl go with you. I'm too lazy to climb so high all at once."
Lu Qiongshuang said: "Sister, how dare she move when you are here. Please, go with me first, I am afraid to go alone..."
Jiang Xue's eyes twitched. Lu Qiongshuang, are you scared?
Although Wanbaolou was indeed very strange, after all it was a business open for business, for some reason there were few shop assistants there.
When I arrived at the door just now, it was also closed.
The light in the building was dim, with only lamps hanging next to each item. Although it made them look more precious, this building... was indeed somewhat depressing.
But how could Lu Qiongshuang, who is usually not afraid of even poking a hole in the sky, be afraid at this time and place?
Seeing that Jiang Xue refused to move, Lu Qiongshuang whispered in her ear, "Cousin, I want to pick out a good hidden weapon to give to a friend. Can you help me choose one?"
"Friends?" Jiang Xue raised her eyebrows and asked, "What friends? Besides, I know nothing about weapons, so what can I do?"
"It's just... a friend in the underworld... Hey cousin, please come with me. This building is dark and I really don't want to go up there alone."
Seeing her pleading many times, Jiang Xue had no choice but to nod.
Ji Yan said: "Then let me lead the way for you."
He Zhilin nodded and said, "Then I'll go take a look too."
Before agreeing to go upstairs, if Jiang Xue knew it would be so tiring, she... would never agree to come up even if she was beaten to death!
Jiang Xue had just climbed for a while and was already panting from exhaustion.
It's not her fault that she's arrogant. She had a weak constitution to begin with and was born in the palace. The most fun she had in her life was many years ago. In the past few years, she usually traveled in a sedan chair or a horse-drawn carriage.
She hadn't used her noble legs for many years.
Jiang Xue held onto the handrail of the stairs, her upper body almost lying on it. She whispered to Fu Dong beside her, "Which floor is this?"
"Ding...Miss, we have reached the third floor."
"Sister, hurry up." Lu Qiongshuang shouted while standing on top.
Jiang Xue looked at Lu Qiongshuang on the first floor, her eyes were red with anger as she asked, "Aren't you afraid?"
Lu Qiongshuang made a crying face and said, "So, sister, we have been waiting for you here for a long time."
Everyone walked in front, only Fu Dong and He Zhilin walked beside her.
Jiang Xue waved her hand and said, "You guys go first, I'll be back soon."
When she reached the seventh floor, Jiang Xue felt her mind was in a fuzzy state and her steps were weak. She raised her leg to step onto the stairs but lost her balance.
The whole person fell backwards.
He Zhilin and Fu Dong reached out to help her, but they were too late. They only grabbed a piece of her clothes and quickly tore it apart.
The inertia was too great and Jiang Xue could only feel her body falling downwards.
Her vision was a little blurry, her heartbeat stopped for a while, and her mind began to think -
As a princess of a country, she fell to death on the stairs. Wouldn't it be unpleasant to hear about this way of death?
Fortunately, she did not travel as a princess today.
She quickly reached out to grab the handrail at the side, but her vision was blurred in her panic and she couldn't grab it at all.
So Jiang Xue tried her best to make her landing more graceful.
There was a dull thud.
Two figures overlapped and fell in the corridor.
Jiang Xue only felt that she had fallen on a warm body, and that person had one hand tightly around her waist.
Jiang Xue turned around and saw a silver mask. The deep eyes beneath the mask revealed a hint of anger.
The two were too close to each other, and her nostrils were filled with that person's scent. Jiang Xue suddenly smelled a faint fragrance at the tip of her nose.
She was a little embarrassed, and quickly broke free from the hand around her waist, turned around, got up, and looked at the person on the ground.
It's a man.
"Sir, I'm so sorry, are you hurt anywhere?"
The man on the ground bent his knees and sat up, rubbed his wrists, and said coldly:
"You're heavy."
