Chapter 56 Xie Guanlan dislikes her dress as immodest
Wen Xingluo wanted to be a little sister with Chen Lezhi, so she ignored Xie Guanlan's threatening look and said, "Grandma, I want to go."
Xie Guanlan's narrow eyes revealed a hint of frost.
Wen Xingluo, she wanted to go see her little lover.
The next day, the old concubine specially dressed Wen Xingluo up beautifully.
In the hanging flower hall, Xie Shian was concentrating on eating noodles when suddenly an idea came to his mind and he looked at the screen.
The beef in his mouth fell into the bowl of noodles, and he let out an undisguised exclamation of surprise: "Wow!"
Xie Guanlan raised his eyes and glanced over.
The girl who came out from behind the screen had dark eyebrows, a face full of spring, cloud-like hair and mist-like hair, and a skin as white as jade. Her skirt embroidered with silver peach flowers outlined her plump and graceful figure like a flower bud. The goose yellow skirt swayed like water, and she covered it with a cloud-purple gauze with large sleeves. She was clad in clouds and mist, and her face was as bright as pearls. She looked like a graceful and classical painting of a lady.
Wen Xingluo's ears turned red, her eyelashes drooped nervously, and she pulled her sleeves uncomfortably.
She whispered, "Isn't that a bit exaggerated?"
The old concubine was overjoyed: "That's not an exaggeration at all! Our Ningning is so beautiful that she can suppress the bright and charming colors!"
"Yes, you look pretty. You are worthy of being my sister, Xie Si!" Xie Shian was very proud. "If my brothers see you, they will definitely not recognize you! Wen Xingluo, you should dress like this from now on!"
The old concubine asked Xie Guanlan again: "What do you think, Ziheng?"
Everyone in the hanging flower hall couldn't help but look at him at the same time.
Xie Guanlan's gaze swept across Wen Xingluo's chest.
The Hezi skirt is a style of skirt that was recently introduced to Chengdu from the capital. The woman's neck and collarbone are exposed, and through the large sleeves of light gauze, the pink and white thin shoulders are vaguely visible, which makes people imagine a lot.
When Chen Yushi saw Wen Xingluo dressed like this, his eyes would definitely pop out.
Wen Xingluo is from the Zhenbei Palace.
If Chen Yushi took advantage of her, he would be taking advantage of the palace.
Taking advantage of the palace is taking advantage of Xie Guanlan.
He stroked the teacup, his voice low, "That's too revealing. How can this be acceptable?"
The blush on Wen Xingluo's ears immediately spread to her entire face.
She lowered her head and whispered, "I'd better go change."
The two makeup girls who had come into the mansion specifically to dress her up today quickly grabbed her and said, "Don't show it! This is the fashion in Chengdu now. Young ladies and ladies on the streets are all dressed like this. Go out and see for yourself!"
The old concubine looked at Xie Guanlan in shock. "Ziheng, how can you be even more pedantic than an old man like me?! Ningning looks so beautiful in this dress. It covers everything that should be covered. Where is it exposed?"
Xie Guanlan: "It doesn't look proper. Change it quickly."
"No changes!" the old concubine said. "Just wear this outfit, you will definitely charm the Chen family boy in one fell swoop!"
…
When Xie Guanlan went to the yamen to report for duty, he had just mounted his horse when he saw Wen Xingluo getting on the carriage.
The little girl stood on a footstool with her back straight. The two tender green silk ribbons tied behind her bun fluttered gracefully in the early summer breeze. The silver butterfly beside her bun flapped its wings, as if it was about to fly into someone's palm.
Just then, Xie Shian came out of the mansion and said, "Brother, can you go and tell Li Situ to give me two days off? The old man is too serious. I've been looking at his face for five or six hours every day. My eyes are going to be damaged!"
Xie Guanlan held the reins: "Today."
Xie Shian didn't react: "What?"
"You'll have the day off today. Chen Yushi has ill intentions towards Wen Xingluo, so go and keep an eye on him."
Xie Shi'an was immediately energized, rolling up his sleeves and shouting, "I never thought that the renowned and virtuous Prince of Hanzhong would be such a pervert! Don't worry, big brother, I will definitely not let him come into contact with my sister Wen!"
Xie Guanlan curled his lips.
…
Jinli Street.
Chen Lezhi pulled Wen Xingluo and happily went into every store, finding everything new.
Chen Yushi followed behind the two of them and said with a smile, "You can pick whatever you want. I'll pay today."
Chen Lezhi shook Wen Xingluo's hand and said, "Don't be embarrassed. My brother is very wealthy. This little bit of money is nothing to her. Don't feel burdened!"
"It's so funny, who needs those little melons and dates from your family?"
Xie Shian appeared and glared at the Chen brothers and sisters provocatively.
Big brother was right. Chen Yushi had ill intentions towards Wen Xingluo. He wanted to use these gifts to seduce her!
He would never let Chen Yushi succeed in his evil plan!
Chen Lezhi glanced at him with disdain: "Xie Si? Judging from your tone, you must be not short of money? Then you pay the bill!"
Xie Shian choked.
Damn it, I forgot to ask my brother for my purse when I went out.
He can't afford it.
Chen Lezhi snorted arrogantly and took Wen Xingluo's arm: "Ningning, let's go!"
Xie Shian was afraid that Wen Xingluo and Chen Yushi would stick together, so he quickly squeezed in between them.
"You want to die!" Chen Lezhi couldn't help but curse, "You have to walk four abreast?!"
Xie Shian sneered: "The road is so wide, I just like to walk in the middle, what do you care about me?!"
"You're blocking other people's way!"
"Hey, is the princess a street maid? Why are you so nosy?"
"Xie Si, I'll tear your mouth apart!"
The two of them started arguing with each other on the street, with their hands on their hips.
Chen Yushi was helpless: "My sister has a bad temper. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Sister Wen."
Wen Xingluo said embarrassedly: "It's okay, it was my fourth brother who was rude first."
Chen Yushi had come from afar, eager to experience the livelihoods and customs of Shu County, so he suggested, "Let's ignore them for now. I see that old woman at the bridgehead is doing quite well. Sister Wen, could you come with me to take a look?"
The old lady at the bridgehead sells wontons with red oil.
The two of them sat down at the stall. Chen Yushi fanned himself openly and said, "I see that the elderly people in your area are all in high spirits, their clothes and shoes are neatly kept. I wonder what's the reason?"
"Perhaps it's because of the elderly care policy." Wen Xingluo wiped his chopsticks with a handkerchief and placed them on the plate in front of Chen Yushi. "Here, whether the elderly work long-term or short-term jobs or run businesses, they pay less tax than the middle-aged. A society where the elderly are well cared for, the young are well cared for, and where people don't pick up things on the street or lock their doors at night has always been what Chengdu aspires to be."
After she finished speaking, she was stunned.
The policy of providing relief to the elderly seems to have been proposed by Xie Guanlan.
Chen Yushi praised: "Thank you, Commander, for your compassion for the people and your concern for the country. This is what a fatherly official should be like."
While waiting for the old woman to cook the dumplings, Wen Xingluo saw Wen Yueyin and Wen Ruyun hurried to the pawnshop with quilts and cotton clothes.
After leaving the pawnshop, the two men took their money bags and went straight to the grain store, bought dozens of bags of rice and flour, happily loaded the car, and went to the outskirts of the city chatting and laughing.
Wen Xingluo realized that they were hoarding food.
In the previous life, famine followed floods. Wen Yueyin probably saw this opportunity to "get rich", so he secretly stored food, hoping to help Wen Ruyun become the richest man in Shu County as soon as possible.
However, if Xie Guanlan had made preparations in advance, I'm afraid that what happened next might not go as she wished.
The old woman brought two bowls of wontons with red oil at the right time.
Chen Yushi took a bite and immediately started coughing violently due to the spiciness.
Wen Xingluo came to his senses and quickly handed her a bowl of water. Seeing that she felt better after drinking it, he took out a handkerchief and wiped the red oil off her lips.
She asked with concern, "Isn't it too spicy?"
Chen Yushi took a breath and said, "It's a little spicy, but it tastes good."
Wen Xingluo curved her almond-shaped eyes and wiped the beads of sweat from her nose: "Your Highness is sweating from the spiciness."
At the end of the long street, a group of cavalry came galloping.
The young man in the lead was wearing a scarlet robe and leather belt with his sleeves fluttering. Although he had a gorgeous appearance, his depressed brow bones and knife-like jawline gave people a terrifying sense of oppression, as if he was holding a narrow knife as sharp as snow.
Fushan followed closely behind, shouting, "The commander is in charge, everyone else should get out of the way!"
Xie Guanlan suddenly pulled the reins as if the wind had stopped, and stood at the bridgehead with his sword in hand.
He glanced at the two people in the stall.
