Lu Jiuniang showed no expression when she heard the words "eldest brother", but she was obviously interested after hearing the word "Senior Brother", and she hurriedly asked who it was when she heard Shopkeeper Zhu.
The reason for her curiosity was not for anything else, but because Hu Ling, who had always been bold and forthright, showed such a hint of tenderness when he mentioned the three words shopkeeper Zhu.
Xu Nuo wanted to tease Hu Ling and pretended to tell Lu Jiuniang. Hu Ling was shy for a moment and refused to tell her.
However, even if she didn't say anything, she couldn't stop Lu Jiuniang from thinking big.
She knew that Xu Nuo and Hu Ling met in Suzhou, and she also confirmed that they knew the shopkeeper Zhu together.
She knew almost everyone Xu Nuo knew in the capital. Except for a few cousins from the Qian family and the Lu family, she didn't know any men from other families, let alone anyone named Zhu.
Then this shopkeeper Zhu is probably in Suzhou.
People with the surname Zhu from Suzhou are good-looking and have the opportunity to meet both Xu Nuo and Hu Ling, and gain some degree of "appreciation" from Hu Ling.
Such a person is likely to be a talented young man who has some connection with the Xu family, or at least someone who can sit at the same table as Xu Gucheng.
Lu Jiuniang, a big businessman in Suzhou, basically knows that she can count the number of people who can sit at the same table as Xu Gucheng on one hand.
The scope suddenly narrowed.
Although Lu Jiuniang was a woman and had a somewhat graceful figure, Lu Yijian did not simply raise her as a little lady, but only let her learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.
Therefore, Lu Jiuniang learned a lot from Lu Yijian. After Lu Yijian served as a doctor in the Ministry of Punishment in the past two years, she also knew something about the Ministry of Punishment and basically knew the personnel of all parties.
As for the place where her most admired aunt was married, she naturally paid more attention to it.
With the above inference, four words immediately appeared in Lu Jiuniang's mind.
Mr. Beijiang.
Zhu Beijiang was as famous as Fang Jingping and now Yan Tongshu many years ago. He is a famous child prodigy.
But for some unknown reason he did not take part in the imperial examination and left Beijing to do business. Now he is already a very rich man.
Lu Jiuniang thought so and said these four words.
Xu Nuo and Hu Ling were both stunned after hearing this.
He looked at Lu Jiuniang with wide eyes.
Lu Jiuniang did not expect that the two of them would have such a big reaction, so she explained her thoughts and asked with a smile if she had guessed correctly.
She felt in her heart that she was 90% right.
Hu Ling did not answer this question, but moved closer to Lu Jiuniang. I asked nervously: "Have you met him? Do you like him?"
Lu Jiuniang looked at Hu Ling who was less than a foot away from her. He moved back, shook his head and said, "I may have seen him when I was a kid, but I don't remember him. But I don't like him, so I'm engaged."
After hearing this, Hu Ling sat back down in her seat with relief and picked up the tea cup again as if nothing had happened.
Xu Nuo took a deep look at Lu Jiuniang.
From previous contacts, she had always felt that the famous Lu Yijian's daughter was nothing more than that. Only today did I realize that I had jumped to the conclusion that Lu Yijian’s daughter was more than just that. On the contrary, it is very unusual.
It was really extraordinary to accurately guess the shopkeeper Zhu mentioned by Hu Ling from just one last name.
Although Xu Nuo was wearing men's clothes, Tang Pozi did not miss her. After her hands were warmed, she asked, "Why do you come here? Today is not a good day to listen to music. It's so busy outside."
It was her first time to participate in such a grand lantern festival, and she was so curious. I can’t wait to squeeze into the crowd and feel the atmosphere of ancient people’s festivals.
"You have only been here for less than half a year, so of course you don't understand. You can see the lion dance outside from this window. After the lion dance, the girls from Wanxiang Tower will play music and dance together. I don't know how many people are waiting to see it. From this location, I I specially searched for talented people to grab it. If you look at the boxes around you, they are all rich or expensive."
Hu Ling looked at Xu Nuo with an expression that looked like he didn't know what he was talking about.
Xu Nuo nodded in agreement. She really didn't know much about the rules of the capital, but she was also curious about the good position Hu Ling mentioned, so she put down Mrs. Tang and walked to the window to take a look outside.
It would have been better if she didn't look at it, but it shocked her when she looked at it.
Who is the man running on the roof in black costume if he's not Xiao Yuan?
She wouldn't be surprised if Xiao Yuan was running on the roof. What surprised her was that there were five or six people in similar costumes chasing him behind him.
They all held long knives in their hands.
The light reflected from the blade was inconspicuous in today's boiling hustle and bustle, but it fell like thorns in Xu Nuo's eyes.
Without saying a word, she turned around and pushed the door open.
He touched his arms and found the dagger.
When Hu Ling saw Xu Nuo running out like the wind, his face was still nervous, and he immediately became vigilant.
I rushed to the window and saw several figures rising and falling on the roof.
He punched the window sill with his fist, then took out the whip from his waist and chased him out.
Before going out, he shouted to Lu Jiuniang: "You stay here first. If we don't come back in half an hour, you can go back home. If you are afraid, you can knock on the box next door. I will see that your fiancé is inside."
After speaking, he ran out very quickly and was squeezed into the crowd the next moment.
