Lu Xingyue nodded gently, "You are very suitable."
"Me?" Shen Lansui was in a daze for a moment.
"You are the third young lady of the Duke's residence. You are of the right age and status. Your appearance..." He paused and his voice became softer. "You are very outstanding."
"It will be better if you are the leader. And the shop is yours, so you have nothing to lose." Lu Xingyue said seriously.
Shen Lan has mastered skills at a young age. Isn't this equivalent to being a model before the end of the world? There are clothing models for selling clothes, and there are display models for selling jewelry. If she wants to sell her jewelry, she has to be seen first.
The more she thought about it, the brighter her eyes became, "Sanlang is absolutely right! I'll let someone make a set to see the effect first, and I'll go and study it with the shopkeeper in person someday when I have time."
Just do it, she picked up the sketch she drew and looked at it carefully, picked out the unreasonable parts and made modifications.
Lu Xingyue's lips curled up slightly, he stood up and took a handkerchief to wipe his hair.
Shen Lansui forgot the time when she got busy. She was still scribbling and revising even after the moon had risen. Lu Xingyue couldn't stand it any longer. He walked over and tapped on the table with his fingers, "Writing in the daytime will hurt your eyes."
Shen Lansui was startled. When she came to her senses, she felt that her eyes were extremely dry. She put down her pen and moved her neck, "Did I delay your rest?"
Lu Xingyue shook his head.
"Let's go to bed."
She pressed the paper carefully, turned off the light, and walked towards the bed with her shoes on by the lamp in the corner.
Until she turned around and sat down, Lu Xingyue was still standing beside the couch.
She asked doubtfully: "What's wrong?"
Lu Xingyue looked back at her innocent appearance, pinched his brows and said, "Nothing."
He should get used to her cheerful and straightforward personality.
He turned off the lamp in the corner and slowly walked to the bed in the moonlight.
Shen Lansui listened to the rustling sounds in the darkness and called him, "Sanlang?"
Lu Xingyue's low voice sounded from nearby, "Yeah."
Shen Lansui rolled inside and gave up her position. Soon she felt that the quilt beside her sank slightly.
All sounds and feelings will be infinitely amplified in the dark.
She could clearly feel Lu Xingyue's movements as he lay down, and could smell the subtle wind and light incense brought up when he lifted the quilt.
She recognized it in hindsight and found that it should be the scent of pine wood.
The surroundings quickly became quiet, and Shen Lansui closed her eyes and prepared to sleep.
However, I don't know what happened today. She was inexplicably excited. She used to fall asleep quickly after lying down, but now she couldn't sleep after lying down for a long time. Her thoughts were like a wild horse, thinking about the pictures she had drawn, and then thinking about the pictures she had drawn. Thinking of Princess Rong Zhao.
Who doesn't like beauty?
Especially the princess in the legend is even more attractive. She can't wait to see her in real life.
Thinking of this, Shen Lansui gently turned over and turned his back to Lu Xingyue.
He lay down for a while and then rolled back. She thought her movements were light enough, but she didn't know that Lu Xingyue saw them all.
He opened his eyes and asked softly: "Can't you sleep?"
Shen Lansui was startled, "Did I disturb you?"
Lu Xingyue shook his head, then remembered that she couldn't see him, and said aloud, "No, I didn't sleep."
"Can't you sleep?" Shen Lansui turned to him.
"I always sleep late, but you are a little unusual today."
Lu Xingyue's voice was deeper in the darkness, and it seemed like it was ringing in his ears as they lay side by side.
Shen Lansui's hand quietly reached out from the quilt and quickly pinched his earlobe, "Well, it's a bit abnormal."
As she said this, she suddenly remembered something, "By the way! I almost forgot to ask, today I received an invitation from Princess Rong Zhao to the chrysanthemum viewing banquet, which is just three days from now. Do you want to go with me?"
Lu Xingyue turned his head and looked at her, "You want me to go?"
This was a strange question, and Shen Lansui said softly: "The invitation is for the two of us, so of course I have to ask you."
Lu Xingyue lowered his eyes, "If you want to go, I will go with you."
"I think so, I really want to meet the legendary princess!"
Shen Lansui spoke with excitement. When she was studying history, her favorite things were not emperors, queens, or eunuchs and generals, but princesses.
She was full of infinite yearning for this character who was born noble but often had no control over his actions, and who stirred up troubles at certain times.
Lu Xingyue looked at her with subtle eyes.
What Zhou Quan said solemnly in the study in the afternoon was all in his mind.
"Master, Madam just asked my subordinates a lot of things about Princess Rong Zhao, and even asked if the princess is pretty!"
"The madam also asked you why you don't like the princess. At that time, the madam looked ugly and frowned. She was obviously unhappy."
"Based on my many years of experience in reading scripts, my wife is probably jealous. I suggest that my master go back and coax my wife. Only when the relationship between husband and wife is harmonious can the family prosper."
"..."
The more Lu Xingyue thought about it, he really thought for a moment that Shen Lansui might be jealous, and he felt like a fool.
He pressed his eyebrows and was silent for a long time. He turned back and said solemnly: "You can see it when you get there. It's getting late. Go to sleep."
Shen Lansui felt that his tone was a bit strange and he couldn't explain it clearly, so he didn't think much about it and patted his quilt, "Okay."
…
Three days passed by in a blink of an eye.
On the day of the Chrysanthemum Appreciation Banquet, the sky was clear and cloudless, and the autumn air was crisp.
Guan Chun came in from the door and said with a smile: "The day the princess picked is really good. Even if there is no chrysanthemum appreciation feast, Madam should go out for a walk today."
Shen Lansui was sitting in front of the dressing table drawing eyebrows. Hearing this, he glanced at her through the bronze mirror and smiled, "You want to go out for a walk, right?"
Guan Chun smiled and said, "I'm doing this for my lady's own good."
Shen Lansui looked in the mirror to make sure that his eyebrows were not crooked, and then stood up with satisfaction.
Shang Xia stepped forward to straighten her clothes and said with a smile, "Madam, your outfit today is elegant, refined and unobtrusive, which is just right."
"How can someone else's banquet be so overwhelming?"
Shen Lansui stroked his sleeves and asked softly: "Where is the young master?"
Guan Chun said: "Young Master is going out first."
"Let's go too." As soon as Shen Lansui crossed the threshold, she heard Lu Jingzhi call out: "Third sister-in-law!"
Lu Jingzhi was wearing a silver-red dress today. She didn't wear much jewelry on her head. She had a bun with a cloud and a hairpin with beads and flowers. She was noble and lively, which was in line with her temperament.
"Here we come." Shen Lansui met her and walked out of the house together.
Lu Jingzhi held her arm affectionately and said with a smile, "Eldest brother and second brother Xiu Mu, they will go too."
Shen Lansui's heart moved slightly. When she went out, she saw Lu Mingchao standing by the carriage, talking to Lu Xingyue who was sitting in a wheelchair.
"Big brother, third brother!" Lu Jingzhi shouted, and the two of them looked at each other.
Silver, red, water and blue are in their own way, one is like fire and the other is like water, but standing together is particularly pleasing to the eye.
Lu Mingchao said: "Jing Zhi, you and your siblings are in a carriage, and Xing Yue and I are together."
Shen Lansui glanced at Lu Xingyue, who nodded, and then she pulled Lu Jingzhi into the car in front.
Lu Mingchao withdrew his gaze, turned around and met Lu Xingyue's probing eyes.
I'm late. I'm late. I bow to everyone.
