Chapter 16: Dinner with Her
Lu Qiaoxiao felt as if something hit her chest. She took a deep breath, stared intently and asked, "What gift?"
Lu Shiyou rolled his eyes at her: "How should I know? Isn't it not a marriage?"
"Fortunately, it didn't work out." Lu Shiyou sighed, "Before, you liked him so much, I didn't dare to say much. He was entangled with that Lin family girl and couldn't even handle the affairs of the harem. In the future, he would definitely be a dark and annoying person in his official career."
Lu Qiaoxiao didn't pay much attention to what he had just said. The words kept echoing in her mind: "May you be worry-free every year and everything you wish for will come true."
He is indeed a very good person...
When she thought of the plain clothes that blended in with the white clouds when she was wandering in Qingcheng Mountain in her previous life, her throat tightened.
Her wrist was gently shaken, and her thoughts drifted away.
Suddenly, an enlarged, innocent face flashed before my eyes.
"Sister, I'm hungry. Is there any food?" Lu Shiyou blinked his big eyes.
He didn't eat all day because he thought about seeing his sister today.
I stayed in the room and finished all the books I needed to sort out today.
Lu Qiaoxiao replied subconsciously: "I, I'll take you to Lianxianglou for dinner?"
"Okay." Lu Shiyou smiled.
At this moment, a sky-blue figure suddenly walked in front of the door, with a white jade belt around his waist that was clean and noble.
Lu Qiaoxiao was puzzled. Why did Prime Minister Shen go to change his clothes?
Changing clothes three times a day?
Really exquisite.
As she was thinking, her eyes suddenly met a pair of dark eyes, whose light was deep and unfathomable.
"It's noon now, Miss Lu and Shi You, do you want to go eat?" Shen Yuheng walked a little closer, his voice firm and unyielding.
Lu Qiaoxiao nodded, "Yeah, I haven't been to Lianxianglou with him for a long time. This kid is very greedy."
Shen Yuheng nodded seriously: "Really? I'm about to go out for a banquet too."
Lu Qiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief. No wonder he changed his clothes. It turned out that he was going to a banquet.
"Young Master! Young Master!" Ah Yao came running over and blocked the three of them, panting heavily. "Just now, someone from Prince Jiang's mansion sent a message saying that he's not feeling well. We'll meet again another day!"
Shen Yuheng frowned and said in a very difficult tone, "Is that so? This is too sudden."
"Sir, why don't you come with us to Lianxiang Tower? My elder sister is treating us today!" Lu Shiyou immediately bared his teeth and made an invitation with a smile.
Lu Qiaoxiao glanced at the people around him in disbelief.
I didn't see this guy so happy when he went to dinner with her, but when he invited Shen Yuheng, he was so happy that he seemed to be able to roll on the ground.
Shen Yuheng's voice was a little embarrassed, and he looked over with uncertain eyes: "This, this is not good, you two siblings haven't seen each other for a long time."
"What's wrong with this? Good! It's really great!"
"Sir, you are my teacher in class, but we are of the same age after all, especially you and my sister. You are only three years older than her. It would be wonderful for us to have a meal together and have fun together."
Lu Shiyou kept muttering to himself, making so much noise that Lu Qiaoxiao just wanted to shut his mouth.
Everyone knows that Shen Yuheng likes quietness. He never attends banquets hosted by officials in the court.
Prince Jiang was a childhood friend of Prime Minister Shen, so they could get together once or twice occasionally.
Lu Shiyou is such a noisy kid, I hope he doesn't make Lord Shen annoyed!
Lu Qiaoxiao held her breath and wanted to give him a way out, but when she raised her eyes, she met a pair of eyes as calm as water.
Those eyes were like ice and snow melting in early spring, still carrying the chill of winter ice, but also seemed to be melted a little by the spring breeze.
I only heard the person in front of me slowly say:
"Miss Lu, is this okay?"
Shen Yuheng's tone was very calm, so calm that one couldn't tell he was asking a rhetorical question, but rather that he was stating something very ordinary.
Lu Qiaoxiao was led by him.
The look in his eyes was so sharp, how could she dare not agree?
Maybe Prime Minister Shen was in a good mood today and wanted to go shopping and have a meal with the common people to experience the day of an ordinary person.
"Hurry up and agree to it, sister." Lu Shiyou pushed her arm.
Lu Qiaoxiao bit her lip and said, "Since Lord Shen wants to join us, Xiaoyou and I are naturally very welcome."
The corners of Shen Yuheng's mouth moved, as if he was smiling.
A Yao standing aside was stunned to see his son smiling so shyly.
He didn't mean to discredit the young master, but normally the young master stood out among a group of middle-aged officials.
He couldn't help laughing when he heard the group talking, and it looked really fake and cold.
"Then let's go." Shen Yuheng glanced at A Yao lightly, and walked to the front with his hands behind his back.
Lu Qiaoxiao and Lu Shiyou hurriedly followed behind.
Ah Yao glanced at the door with some resentment, "Well, I have to go listen to the nagging again."
Prince Jiang has called him "Young Master" no less than ten times this month, but the result has not been ten times.
This is the eleventh time, and who knows how crazy Prince Jiang will be.
When they arrived at Lianxiang Tower, Lu Qiaoxiao took out a purse from his waist, slammed it on the table, called the waiter and ordered a table full of delicious dishes.
"Sister, where did you get so much money?" Lu Shiyou's pupils trembled.
His sister has never been liked by his father, and everyone in the neighborhood knows that Father Lu favors his concubine over his wife.
Although Lu Qiaoxiao is the legitimate daughter, she is not as well-off as her two concubines' daughters.
If she had gotten married before, she would have had some extra dowry.
But now she is not getting married, and considering her stingy father's character, he will definitely take back all the land deeds, money deeds and paper deeds on the same day.
After hearing this, Shen Yuheng gently put down his chopsticks and looked up at her.
Lu Qiaoxiao smiled a little embarrassedly: "You also know that I, your sister, don't usually wear gold or silver or spend money on jewelry. The little money I saved was used to buy swords, spears and halberds."
"I haven't practiced much recently, so it won't waste any money." Lu Qiaoxiao said, taking a sip of Peach Blossom Drunk, his eyes sparkling.
"That's right, sister, you don't need to feel inferior. I will give all my salary to you before we get married. You can spend it however you want." Lu Shiyou laughed heartily, and a suspicious red color appeared on his ears.
"Speaking of this—" Lu Qiaoxiao's eyes were filled with inquiries: "Are you still in contact with Miss Ruan from the Duke's Mansion?"
Lu Shiyou quickly lowered his head: "Sister, please be quiet and don't let the Prime Minister laugh at you."
Shen Yuheng's clear voice sounded at the right moment: "You two can talk freely. I'm bored reading too many official documents every day, so it's good to hear some new things."
A sentence suddenly popped up in Lu Qiaoxiao’s mind: Chat freely?
How open is it?
"Miss Ruan is my cousin who is being fostered at the Duke's Mansion. Her personality is different from the others in the Duke's Mansion. She is calm and docile. I think she is a good girl, and I think my mother will think so too."
"If you really like her, we will come to propose marriage for you. She lives under someone else's roof and has a hard time. You should be more considerate of her."
"Sister~~~~~" Lu Shiyou's voice was sticky, with the shyness of a young man in love.
Lu Qiaoxiao had lived two lives, and seeing that he was hesitant despite having an idea, he made up his mind to make a careful plan.
In his previous life, A-di was transferred to the remote and poor Qingyan County, where he stayed for several years.
Miss Ruan has been waiting like that, the man has not married yet and the woman has not married yet, they just look at each other from afar.
After A-di's death, Ruan Qingqiu, the cousin of the prince of the Duke's Mansion, left the capital and went to Qingcheng Mountain, where she opened a shop at the foot of the mountain.
Many people introduced men of similar age to Boss Ruan, but she rejected them all and never married again.
