Chang’an’s First Beauty

The following afternoon, Lu Yan and Shen Zhen, led by Zhuang Yue, went to the Luyuan Garden where Wulipu was changing.

The closed Zhu door opened slowly, and even Shen Zhen, who grew up in the rich and wealthy nest, couldn't help but reveal a stunning look.

To the garden, you can see the rockery stacked on the front hall with stones. The rocky slope is three feet high, and there are several green pine trees. It seems that there are many kinds and messy, but as long as the flowering period is counted, even if the four seasons are rotated, it is still unbeatable.

The zigzag promenade in front of it is reputed to be famed for its shadow and depth.

At the corner of the gallery, there is a water pavilion, which looks like a boat, spans the Yehe River, is surrounded by bushes, and birds chirp.

Looking around, the Luyuan is beautiful everywhere. The most wonderful thing is the hot spring pool in front of the main yard. The winter scenery, the white mist curls, comparable to the fairyland.

Of course, the price of this hospital is not much higher than that of Tongyi Square at the foot of the Chang'an City Imperial City.

But Lu Yan bought it anyway.

After all, the dignitaries who want to be close to Yangzhou can only live in this neighborhood.

The news of Luyuan's change of ownership soon spread in Yangzhou City.

——

Three days later, in the study.

Yang Zong handed in a letter, and after reading Lu Yan, his index finger tapped on the table case.

In this unannounced visit to Yangzhou, he dispatched more than 30 soldiers.Half of them disguised as Wei Jiading, and the other half went to Yangzhou first, and went to Chaliao outside the city, restaurants, tea houses, pawnshops, restaurants and other places in the city, secretly dormant.

However, the strange thing is that as long as they inquire about the taxation in Yangzhou, they find that most of the people in the city are of the same caliber, or they can avoid it, even the mother and daughter of the bank.

In the end, it was Yang Zong who passed the murder case outside the city the day before yesterday and learned some news.

The person who died the day before yesterday is called Miao Kang.

The Miao family originally made a living by selling rice, and the days are still passable. Since Zhao Chong was transferred to Yangzhou, he has undergone earth-shaking changes.

It is said that Zhao Chong has a great appetite.First, he took over three fires as a new official, cleared the officials of the original county government, and then took all the mills in Yangzhou City as his own.

A few mills don’t sound like much profit, but they don’t.

After all, as long as people want to grind brown rice into white rice, they have to use his mill.The entire Yangzhou city, as long as it eats rice, everyone must buy his account.

This behavior is tantamount to compulsory trading.

In the long run, he not only accumulated countless wealth, but also forced several rice mills to close one after another, and the Miao family also fell down...

After half a ring, Lu Yan placed the letter diagonally on the candlelight, and in an instant, it burned to ashes.

He raised his hand and squeezed his eyebrows, Shen Sheng said to Yang Zong: "Apart from these, can you find the rental shop?"

Yang Zong nodded and took out a map of Yangzhou City from his arms. He said: "According to his investigation, the pavement under Zhao Tsushi's hand, from Xiaoshi Bridge to Taiping Bridge, accounted for more than half, but on the surface This money is the mother of Mrs. Zhao Tashi, the Gao family is in charge."

Lu Yan took the map and couldn't help but sneer.

According to the prince in the history of thorns, it is estimated that he could not save so much wealth in his whole life.

After a long time, Lu Yan slowly said: "Tomorrow morning, you will go to the Gao family, as the housekeeper of the Weifu, to rent five shops. "If you want to contact Zhao Chong, you can only start from the Gao family.

"Subordinates understand." Yang Zong arched.

In the evening, it was dark.

The sun fell, and the layers of white clouds slowly flowed, eventually disappearing into the boundless night sky.

Lu Yan crossed the covered bridge and returned to the main courtyard-Chunxi Hall.

Shen Zhen was keeping accounts in the house, and looked up, just glancing at Lu Yan's back when she closed the door.

Her eyes couldn't help.

Speaking of it, since staying in Luyuan, he has been busy almost day and night, they haven't spoken in a long time.

She got up early yesterday and went to sit in the yard for a while. The study was next to Chunxi Hall. She looked across and saw Yang Zong and several other subordinates going in and out of his study.

At that time it was not yet dawn, he should not have closed his eyes overnight.

At noon, I wanted to summon him to dinner, but I saw him lying on the table and had fallen asleep.

Recall when I was in Changan.

Although she knew that there were many things about Jingzhaofu, but he only went to Chengyuan once in a while, so she had never seen him look so tired.

As a result, some words can't help but become difficult to speak.

Lu Yan sat on the couch, his eyes tired.

Shen Zhen hurriedly approached him and whispered: "Does adults want to eat?"

Lu Yan rubbed his temples, thinking that he should indeed eat something, and he hummed low.

After a while, Shen Zhen brought in some soup and rice.

Lu Yan took a sip and found that it was still lamb and lotus seed soup. She raised her eyebrows and asked her, "Is this what you did?"

Shen Zhen nodded, "Last time I saw Lord Lu's brow furrowed, I guessed that the taste might be worse. This time I added ginger deliberately, what do you think?"

Face to face, Lu Yan smiled lightly.

Unexpectedly, she was smarter than she thought.

However, there is no unsolicited favor in this world. Lu Yan knows that she is so diligent, also because she still cares about seeing Shen Hong.

He threw down the bowl and whispered: "I promise you will still count, but there have been many things in recent times, and so on."

Shen Zhen was stunned, her face reddened.

Since she was discerned, she naturally would not lie in front of Shaoyin in Jingzhao Prefecture, so she nodded obediently: "Adults have a lot of affairs, and I can still remember that I am very grateful."

Seeing her honestly admit it, and not covering it up, the unpleasant point in Lu Yan's heart was eventually dissipated with a bowl of hot soup.

Lu Yan had a meal and then went to the clean room. When she came back, she just saw her sitting at the table, holding a few white fingers and fiddled with the abacus.

He walked straight over and found her keeping accounts.

Looking at the neat rows of small characters, you can guess how seriously she wrote.However, he just ordered something casually about the bookkeeping.

Shen Zhen felt the heat above his head, and when he looked up, he just met his eyes.

She whispered, "Are you going to rest?"

Lu Yan held the book, moved a ladle and sat down, whispered: "How much is it?"

Shen Zhen glanced down at her and said, "I remember all the same. I just picked up the vases and charcoal fires I bought this morning." In order not to make people suspicious, Shen Zhen has already bought back all the things he can think of.

It was heard that Lu Yan looked around, only to find that the furnishings in the house were very different.

Suspended paintings, couches, wall tables, porcelain, hand beds, screens, and incense burners are all elegant and elegant.

He stared at her, and suddenly felt that bringing her here would do more harm than good.

"Not in a hurry," he said.

As soon as the voice fell, Shen Zhen continued to write.

Looking at her serious look, Lu Yan had to sigh that the girl taught by Yunyang Houfu was really good.A woman who is not out of the cabinet can make the account like this, it can be a model for Lu Heng's generation.

He flipped through the book and said casually: "When did you start learning butler?"

There were two people in this room. He was obviously not talking to himself, and Shen Zhen couldn't help stopping again.

She bit her lower lip and said, "After learning it, I started to learn."

Lu Yan turned another page, eyebrow twitching, and , such words are inevitably too sensitive.

He suddenly remembered an old thing.

The Shen family is beautiful and well-known to everyone in the capital. It has been jokingly said that no matter which age the Shen family has reached and their age, they are afraid that the threshold will have to be repaired.

I remember at that time, he had just transferred to Jingzhao Mansion and tried the first case, which was related to the Shen family.

At the beginning of July, Tang Lu, the only son of Chunnan Bo, was refused to go to Yunyang Hou Mansion. He was unwilling, and he wanted to sneak into Shen Mansion when the moon was thick. He was almost killed by Yunyang Hou.

Although Yunyang Hou is powerful, Chun Nanbo has only one son, Tang Lu.

When Tang Lu was unconscious, Shen and Tang were completely torn apart.

At that time, although he was very scornful of Tang Lu's approach, he couldn't help but scold Shen Zhen in his heart.

Who would have thought, but in about two years or so, he himself had tasted the evil.

Even if it tastes good.He can still clearly distinguish between gains and losses in Fengyue.

For example, what is worth and which is not.

But he also admits that the dew marriage is indeed very attractive.

Thinking of this, he looked at her again.

The white hair and black hair, the eyebrows are picturesque, and Bai Shengsheng's small face, under the light of the light, seems to have spent a layer of goddess-like brilliance.

Once the arduous thoughts started, it was like throwing a torch into dry wood.

Fire at the touch.

He suddenly felt.

The book held in his hand is very boring, it is better to capture the pair of snowy wrists...
