Lu Jing was talking to Zhao Jun when he suddenly heard a female voice behind him.
You don't need to look back to know who it is.
The girl who was speaking at the back quickly came over to them.
Zhao Jun and his companions turned around and looked.
A girl about sixteen or seventeen years old was wearing a light yellow dress embroidered with beautiful flower patterns.
She is as pretty as a winter jasmine among this gray and inconspicuous crowd.
No wonder so many ladies from aristocratic families admire it, this Shu embroidery is indeed too eye-catching.
The girl came over and greeted Lu Jing.
Lu Jing also smiled and nodded politely.
Then he introduced her to Zhao Jun and others nearby.
"Master Zhao, this is Cheng Xin, the third daughter of the Cheng family."
He deliberately glanced at Zhao Jun who was standing next to Lu Jing, nodded with a smile, and said nothing.
"So you are Miss Cheng. I have heard of your name for a long time."
Zhao Jun spoke politely.
But Cheng Xin still didn't react.
Zhao Jun felt a little strange, but he didn't want to show his affection to someone who ignored him, so he stopped looking at her.
"Xiao He, let's go over there and look at the fabrics. If you like them, I'll buy a few batches and give them to everyone."
She no longer paid attention to the people around her and instead focused on looking at the shelf next to her.
When Liu Bang heard her words, he immediately smiled.
"Sir, are you telling the truth? Sir, you can't be so partial and only give it to Xiao He. I want it too."
Liu Bang said this without feeling ashamed at all.
As usual, Zhao Jun glared at him.
"Send them, give each of you a batch. After all, you've been on a business trip with me for so long. Even if they're not of much use, you've still put in some hard work."
She waved her hand generously and let the two of them go and choose.
I stood silently beside her and whispered something after she finished speaking.
"This batch of Shu brocade is not cheap. Most of the customers in the store are just looking but not buying. Girl, please don't try to be stubborn."
Although she spoke softly, the people standing nearby heard her.
Lu Jing was a little embarrassed.
He had the impression that he had seen the third daughter of the Cheng family several times, but she didn't seem like this. Why would she say such rude words today?
He was a little embarrassed for a moment, and after glancing at Cheng Xin, he was ready to come out to smooth things over.
Of course, Zhao Jun also heard what she said. He laughed in his heart, but there was no expression on his face, as if he didn't hear it.
He even turned to talk to Lu Jing.
"Lord Lu, I'm going to have to trouble you with a lot of things in the next few months. I can't be partial. You should also pick out some materials and I'll give them to you."
She spoke to him very generously.
Cheng Xin's face darkened at being sorely ignored.
Lu Jing didn't pay attention to those things and just waved to Zhao Jun repeatedly.
"No, no, how can I ask you to send me something? Besides, this Shu brocade is really expensive. You should not spend money on it."
Of course Lu Jing knew that Zhao Jun was not short of money, but he felt distressed because the material was so expensive and he didn't have to wear it.
"Nothing, don't worry about it, just look at them."
Zhao Jun pointed at Liu Bang and Xiao He behind him.
Those two guys have already started to provoke without any hesitation.
Xiao He had worked with Zhao Jun for so long that he naturally knew how generous Zhao Jun was, and that there was really no need to say so much between friends.
Not to mention Liu Bang, he was completely shameless.
Zhao Jun had the same idea towards Lu Jing. They were all friends, so he shouldn't refuse the gift.
Lu Jing understood what Zhao Jun meant, and after refusing several times, he finally accepted it.
But Cheng Xin, who had been standing quietly by the side, didn't think so.
In her opinion, the smiling girl who gave gifts to Lu Jing was clearly coveting him!
Yes, Chengxin had long set his sights on this newly appointed young talent who was still unmarried.
However, she hadn't taken any action yet, so how could a female official suddenly appear beside the other party, and such a young and beautiful girl at that.
In an instant, I felt bad.
She observed the two people silently for a while, and couldn't help but walk over to Lu Jing and start a conversation with him.
"Lord Lu, this lady official has just arrived. She must be very rich. I remember that the salaries of officials were not very high. Where did she get so much money?"
Lu Jing was selecting fabrics when he heard someone say something deliberately next to him and immediately reprimanded him cautiously.
"Don't criticize court officials."
Cheng Xin didn't care at all. She secretly said, what's the matter? Who in Shu County dares to become an enemy of their family?
Zhao Jun was strolling around the shelves on the other side and didn't pay attention to the two people talking here.
"Alright, if you don't want to tell me, then don't tell me. Will this newcomer be staying in Shu County for a long time?"
Asked deliberately.
"I don't know either. It all depends on your decision."
Lu Jing didn't want to tell her too much about Zhao Jun, so after picking out the cloth in his hand, he turned around and reunited with them.
Xiao He and Liu Bang had already prepared their own fabrics, only Zhao Jun had not finished choosing. At this time, she already had two batches in her hands.
"Sir, you haven't made your choice yet."
Liu Bang came over and looked at the cloth in her hand.
"Two more horses are needed."
She had already chosen her own and Fusu's, and the remaining ones were Qingliu and Yingzheng's, which she still had to choose.
Xiao He and Liu Bang followed behind her and helped her carry the pile of cloth.
"Okay, that's about it."
After a while, Zhao Jun finally picked out the fabric he wanted and prepared to pay for it with Lu Jing.
Chengxin followed them all the way.
When they wanted to pay the bill, he walked over himself and pushed the cashier aside.
