Outside Shuxiang Pavilion, the carriage stopped.
Da Qiao walked down and looked at the decorated Shuxiang Pavilion with a look of approval in his eyes. The decoration of Shuxiang Pavilion is elegant and unique. The decoration alone makes Da Qiaogao take a look.
Da Qiao walked in with his maid.
She entered the lobby and saw a book on the bookshelf. They were all thread-bound books, including "The Book of Songs", "The Analects of Confucius", "The Tao Te Ching" and other books. These books were once only owned by large families, and there were no books for sale in the market.
Every family treasures books. The bamboo slips passed down from ancestors are even more valued as treasures.
Today, things are different.
Lu Xuan had countless classic books published and sold, and there were bookstores selling books and paper everywhere in Shu County.
Da Qiao walked around the Shuxiang Pavilion and was very satisfied with the layout of the Shuxiang Pavilion. She glanced around, and while she was looking at it, suddenly, a look of surprise appeared in Da Qiao's eyes.
She saw Diao Chan.
Da Qiao didn't know Diao Chan, but he recognized him as soon as he saw him.
Because, it's so beautiful.
Da Qiao was very confident in her appearance. She was not inferior to Cao Xian and Mi Huan, but when she saw Diao Chan, she felt a little ashamed. The woman in front of her is mature and charming, delicate but not vulgar, and naturally charming.
No wonder my husband likes it.
Da Qiao understood immediately.
Such a woman, if she were a man, she would probably be tempted.
Diao Chan came over, smiled and said softly: "What books do you want to buy, madam?"
Da Qiao smiled and said, "I want to talk to you."
Diao Chan was a little surprised and glanced at Da Qiao again. The woman in front of her was dressed like a noble lady. Because the clothes and demeanor are different. Diao Chan's mind was racing, thinking about the other party's intention, and waved her hand: "Please!"
The two of them went to the backyard and sat down.
Diao Chan asked, "Don't you know your lady's surname?"
Da Qiao looked gentle and said with a smile, "I am Qiao Ying, and I am known as Da Qiao."
When Diao Chan heard the name, her heart skipped a beat.
Da Qiao is Lu Xuan's legal wife.
When the other party comes to visit me, is it a bad person, or does it have some ulterior motive?
Diao Chan's expression remained calm without any change, and she smiled and said, "It turns out that Lu Shijun's wife is here in person. What do you want to do in Shuxiang Pavilion?"
Da Qiao did not go around in circles and said directly: "I heard from people in the house that my husband often comes to Shuxiang Pavilion to stay, so I came to take a look. Now that I have seen you, you are indeed as beautiful as a flower."
After Diao Chan heard this, she became a little panicked for no reason.
Is there actually a rumor in the Zhou Mu Mansion about her and Lu Xuan's affairs?
After all, Diao Chan had experienced a great battle and had a good psychological quality. She calmed down and replied: "There is no relationship between me and Lu Shijun. They are pure and innocent. Lu Shijun only comes to Shuxiang Pavilion occasionally. Listen to the music.”
Da Qiao chuckled even more and said: "Maybe there is nothing between you and your husband, but in the eyes of outsiders, you are your husband's person. This fact cannot be erased. Unless you cut off all contact with your husband .”
There was a hint of temptation in Diao Chan's wonderful eyes, and she asked: "Is Madam here to beat Diao Chan and tell Diao Chan not to have contact with Mr. Lu?"
"No, quite the opposite."
Da Qiao shook his head and answered.
Diao Chan was caught off guard and asked Da Qiao's words, "What do you mean, madam?"
Da Qiao took advantage of the situation and said: "The news of your relationship with your husband has spread. Regardless of whether there is a relationship or not, in the eyes of outsiders, there is already a relationship. I came here to ask you if you are willing to marry your husband and enter the state animal husbandry." Mansion?"
Diao Chan was stunned for a moment.
She was still surprised that Da Qiao arranged for her to go to the Lu family.
This was something Diao Chan didn't expect.
Diao Chan thought for a while, and then thought of the scene where Lu Bu's wife Yan had a falling out. Such changes made her no longer intend to marry. What's more, she and Lu Xuan were still gentlemen and had no relationship.
Diao Chan smiled and said: "Diao Chan is used to being alone, and she can be self-sufficient in running Shuxiang Pavilion. It's pretty good now."
Da Qiao said: "Then it's up to you."
Changing the topic, Da Qiao continued: "If you are willing to marry your husband, you can arrange for someone to tell me and I will make arrangements for you. In addition, it is not appropriate for a woman to be outside all the time. You should think about it carefully."
Diao Chan said: "Thank you madam."
Da Qiao stood up and said, "You have seen and said your words. It's getting late. Let's say goodbye."
Diao Chan got up to see Da Qiao off.
After she sent Da Qiao away in person, she returned to the backyard. After thinking for a while, a smile appeared on her charming face.
She understood Da Qiao's intention.
The first is to test and understand her and see her temperament. If Diao Chan has a domineering temperament and continues to be aggressive after learning Da Qiao's identity, Da Qiao's attitude may change, so arrangements must be made in advance.
Second, Da Qiao understood Diao Chan's temperament and thought Diao Chan could get along with her, so he showed goodwill.
Da Qiao never stopped Diao Chan, let alone targeted Diao Chan, and even took the initiative to express goodwill. If Lu Xuan really married Diao Chan, Diao Chan would have to accept Da Qiao's love.
Diao Chan shook her head and smiled softly.
She really has no plans to marry into the state shepherd's office now, so she's just taking it one step at a time.
Diao Chan sat lazily in the room, thinking about Lu Xuan. She had no intention of doing anything for a while, and her mind was racing with thoughts. At noon, Diao Chan had a simple meal before returning to her senses and dealing with the purchase of goods.
After taking a short nap in the afternoon, I began to calculate the accounts of Shuxiang Pavilion in recent days. After the Shen time, while Diao Chan was still calculating the accounts, a maid came in and reported: "Shijun Lu is here."
"please come in."
Diao Chan gave an order.
The maid went to pass the message. After a while, Lu Xuan entered the backyard and saw Diao Chan who was calculating the accounts. He didn't interrupt and watched quietly.
Diao Chan finished busy with the accounts in her hands and said with a smile: "What kind of music are you listening to today, Ambassador Lu?"
Lu Xuan smiled and said, "It's not interesting to listen to the music. Let's enjoy the dancing, right?"
Diao Chan rolled her eyes at Lu Xuan.
Men are so direct, just to appreciate the dance, not just to look at her.
Diao Chan did not refuse and danced specifically for Lu Xuan. After the dance ended, Lu Xuan stood up and said with a smile: "The dance time can be longer next time. The time of this dance is shorter now."
Diao Chan smiled and nodded. She was stunned for a moment and suddenly said: "Lu Shijun."
Lu Xuan asked: "What's the matter?"
There was a hint of expectation in Diao Chan's eyes, and she asked: "The day after tomorrow, which is February 18th, will Lu Shijun come to Shuxiang Pavilion in the afternoon?"
Lu Xuan asked: "What's the matter?"
Diao Chan shook her head and said, "It's nothing."
When Lu Xuan saw Diao Chan's appearance, he couldn't tell the truth at first glance, so he guessed, "Could it be that February 18th is your birthday?"
Diao Chan was stunned for a moment and said: "Lu Shijun is really smart, he guessed it right. February 18th is indeed my birthday. I have no relatives in Shu County, so I invited Lu Shijun to come to the banquet. There is nothing else The only human beings are my concubine and Lu Shijun."
Lu Xuan smiled and said: "If that's the case, don't I have to prepare a gift?"
Diao Chan smiled sweetly and said: "Lu Shijun's arrival is already the biggest gift. My ability to establish a foothold in Shu County depends entirely on Lu Shijun."
Lu Xuan said: "Gifts still need to be prepared. The meaning of a gift does not lie in how valuable it is, but in the intention."
When Diao Chan heard this, she smiled like a flower.
On that charming face, there is a charming and fairy dew that makes people's hearts sway.
Diao Chan leaned forward and said, "I am here, I would like to thank Ambassador Lu first."
Lu Xuan was also stunned for a moment.
This woman Diao Chan is really a fairy.
Lu Xuan came back to his senses and said, "Okay, you go ahead and get busy. I'm going back. I'll be here on time the day after tomorrow in the afternoon."
Diao Chan stood up and sent Lu Xuan away before returning to the room.
In her mind, she was thinking about Da Qiao's words for her to marry into the Prefectural Mufu, and she was also thinking about Lu Xuan. After thinking for a long time, Diao Chan suppressed her thoughts and continued to deal with Shuxiang Pavilion's accounts.
