Volume 1 Chapter 58: The Young Man of Hanyang

  Lu Xuan was uncomfortable, the coolness from earlier still lingering on her palm, the warmth on her shoulders had yet to dissipate, and now she was being squeezed into a corner by him. The refreshing scent of the young man's body was constantly enveloping her. Adding to that, the teasing from the other two young men made her eyes widen in anger and embarrassment.

  At the sight of this white jade-like young man with a furious look on his face, the other youngsters hastily cleared their throats and changed the subject.

  "Ayun, where are you going? We'll send you off."

  Lu Yun pursed her lips and said, "Let's go for a walk on West Street."

  "Then go to West Street." Another young man responded with a sound, stretched out his head and called out to Yu Fu. At this time, the Wang surname youth was still touching his own foot, with tears in his eyes, saying: "It must be swollen and bruised." He glared at Yin Chen with hatred, "Following you out, I've never had a good end!"

  "...Yin Cheng twitched his lips and pretended he hadn't heard."

  The young man with the surname Wang was very depressed, he glared at Yin Cheng for a moment before turning to Lu Xuan and smiling: "This Ah Yun, let me introduce you. My surname is Wang, my name is Xu, this one's surname is Mo, his name is Yuan. The one beside you, his surname is Yin, his name is Cheng."

  Lu Yuanshan smiled slightly and called out to the three of them: "Wang brother, Mo brother, Yin brother."

  When Wang Jialang and Mo Jialang were called, the two young men responded readily. When Yin Chen was called, his ink-like eyes stared at Lu Yue for a while before he replied, "You can also call me Yin Lang."

  Lü Yu hooked her lips, pretending not to hear. But deep down, Lü Yu couldn't help but think that this Yīn Jié was really hard to see through. When he climbed the wall and played the flute, he looked gentle and sentimental, so why was he different in front of outsiders?

  At this time, Mo Jialang asked: "A Yun is going to Xicheng, what does he want to do?"

  Swish swish swish, all three young men turned to look at Lu Xuan.

  Lu Xuan thought for a moment and said, "Just go take a stroll."

  The young man with the surname Wang is now obviously not in much pain, he sat up spiritedly and said with a smile: "Ah Yun is also interesting, last time dressed like a noble gentleman, now this outfit, looks like a scholar. What clothes you wear on your body also have style, great."

  As soon as he finished speaking, his straight body leaned forward slightly, blocking Lu Xuan again.

  Those two young men did not notice the subtle movement of Yin Chen, but Lu Xuan did. She glared at him with a glance, and her face couldn't help but flush slightly as she glared.

  The Mo and Wang boys both liked to talk, and as they went on, they became more and more enthusiastic, until finally the two of them were arguing fiercely.

  They quarreled, and the two people in the corner seemed particularly quiet. Feeling that pair of ink-painted eyes staring at herself, Lu Yue turned her head to avoid them, softly warning: "Don't look at me!"

  He stared at her with an expressionless face, his eyes fixed on her delicate white jade-like ears for a while. It wasn't until Lu Yue commanded again, "Don't look at me!" that he replied faintly, "A rare opportunity."

  What a rare opportunity? He actually said what a rare opportunity!

  Luoyin's face turned dark, and she glared at him with a thin layer of anger: "I told you not to look!"

  Her face was as white as jade, with delicate features, and her eyes were slanted upwards, giving a sidelong glance that made his heart feel like it had been heavily struck, and for a moment, he even forgot to breathe...

  Seeing his gaze becoming more and more infatuated, Lu Ying's face turned black, and she hurriedly turned her head to look outside the carriage.

  At this time, a young man with the surname Wang called out from beside them: "Hey, we've arrived at West Street."

  As soon as the words came out, Lu Xuan let out a big sigh of relief. She immediately called out: "Please stop for a moment." After calling out, she bowed to the three young men and said loudly: "I still have something to do, see you next time." After speaking, she quickly opened the carriage door and jumped down from the horse-drawn vehicle.

  Lu Yu had just left for less than five steps when he heard the Wang surname youth in the carriage let out a miserable cry, howling: "Surnamed Yin, you, you kicked the book basket onto my feet again! Ah, don't say it wasn't on purpose!"

  After getting off the carriage, Lu Xuan felt a cool breeze and found that his face was no longer burning. Thinking of Yin Chen, he pursed his lips and thought: After this encounter, those two young men will probably come to find me from time to time... No, I have to talk to Yin Chen tonight and let him think of an excuse to reject them when the time comes.

  In the Western City District, Zhang Widow's family still has some reputation. Lu Yue chatted casually while looking around and thinking about ways to make a fortune. When she asked the fifth person, she actually heard that Zhang Widow had indeed mentioned it two days ago, saying that she thought she was capable and wanted to find a matchmaker to propose marriage.

  But apart from these, Lu Xuan didn't hear anything else.

  Originally, Lu Xuan was thinking that if Zhang's widow's son was instructed by someone, the person behind the scenes might have some connection with the person behind the four rascals. But now he couldn't find out, and after strolling for a while, he didn't even run into Zhang's widow's son himself, so Lu Xuan had to return home.

  Back in her room, Lu Xuan wandered slowly around the courtyard. As she turned, a knock at the door sounded.

  "Who is it?"

  "Ah Yuan is at home? It's me, I'm Huang Shuizi, I've come to see you."

  Huang's wife? The Huang wife of the second house of Pingfu, she is indeed capable.

  Lu Xuan knew that Pingfu was trying to curry favor with her and seek reconciliation, but she had strictly rejected them several times before. The master of the Pingfu household had lost face, so now they could only send a servant to employ gentle persuasion tactics.

  It's also because of this that Lu Xuan sometimes thinks, maybe the widow's son was instigated by Huang Shu to come and cause trouble for her, and she would have to intervene to resolve the situation and sell herself a favor.

  Sometimes she even felt that the matter of her brother being beaten up might also be related to the Ping Manor. It wasn't about hatred, but if someone from the Ping Manor was close to those nobles in Luoyang, they would definitely know that the one who read books and played chess with them wasn't Lu Yun, but rather her, Lu Yue.

  Because she had entered the noble's eyes, the Ping Manor might think of pinning her down.

  ...and ruined Lu Yun, leaving her with no one to rely on and no family members. In this era when the clan's power is growing stronger and women are increasingly dependent on their family's influence, it was the most effective way to control her.

  Thinking of this, Lu Yue looked quietly at the courtyard door that had been knocked on, and a smile slowly curled up at the corner of her lips.

  With a smile, Lu Yueman walked over and opened the courtyard gate.

  Huang Shuizi was standing outside the door, with two ordinary-looking maidservants following behind her. Seeing Lu Yue's warm smile, Huang Shuizi looked extremely delighted and said with a smile: "Ah Yue, I've come to see you, you won't mind, will you?" She swayed the basket in her hand and walked inside while saying happily: "My younger sister from the countryside just brought some spring bamboo shoots over, I thought Ah Yue might like them, so I sent them over. These bamboo shoots are best cooked with meat, so I also bought two catties of meat, Ah Yue take a look and see if you like it?"
