Chapter 21.2
…
The sky quickly turned from dark blue to light blue, and at the sign of first light, the group started on their way again.
Without stopping, they finally arrived at Luocheng in Yangzhou ten days later.
The sky in Yangzhou is beautiful with the roads filled with mulberry trees.
Luocheng in Yangzhou is located in the south of Shugang and is a new city built on the riverside plain. Due to the developed river transportation, there were more people here. The streets were spacious and neat, with various types of shops and commerce was extremely prosperous.
At least it seems so.
As soon as she got off the boat, Shen Zhen was a little dizzy. She walked a little more unsteadily than the others. Looking from a distance, one would think she had drunk wine.
After vomiting all night, her body was already dehydrated. It can be said that she is as light as a butterfly.
Seeing her like this, Lu Yan could only choose a nearby inn to stay at.
Before entering, he held Shen Zhen’s waist, frowned, and whispered in her ear in a deep voice: “Bear with it.”
Shen Zhen knew that this man was suffering from mysophobia. If she really dared to vomit on him, she would be abandoned by him immediately.
She covered her mouth with her hands, her eyes welling up with tears and she was really uncomfortable.
It’s so unbearable.
Lu Yan hugged Shen Zhen, who was wearing a curtain hat, and entered an inn called “Taoyuan”. As soon as he stepped across the threshold, he couldn’t help but look at the woman sitting on the couch embroidering a handkerchief.
When the woman turned, the long thread paused mid-air.
Her lips parted slightly, and the needle dropped to the ground.
It has to be said that Lu Yan’s physical strength is surprisingly good. After struggling for many days, his appearance remained changed.
He was wearing a floor-length white robe painted with gold patterns, a mysterious gold crown, and a white jade hairpin. His whole person was calm, elegant, and graceful. Asking an unmarried girl to meet such a gentleman was undoubtedly pushing her into a boundless web of love.
It was only when Lu Yan walked in front of her that she finally came back to her senses.
At this moment, a woman who looked like she was in her forties stood up slowly beside and said, “Did the young master come to stay in the inn?”
Lu Yan asked, “How many rooms are left here?” If one listened carefully, they could hear a Jingzhou accent.
The shopkeeper replied: “How many rooms do you want, Young Master? The entire second floor is empty right now, it can accommodate more than thirty people.”
Lu Yan nodded, turned around and called Yang Zong and said, “I’ll stay here today.”
After that, more than a dozen followers behind Lu Yan also walked in one after another, with large and small packages and countless boxes. And just by looking at the quality of the boxes, one would know that there are not ordinary things inside.
This man is definitely a first-class rich man.
After settling the account, Lu Yan deliberately paid more money to show his generosity.
If a uniquely handsome face can make people attracted, then coupled with such impressive momentum and financial resources, it is enough to make people fall in love with him.
After a moment of trance, the young woman noticed that there was a girl wearing a curtain hat next to him.
Looking down slowly, his hand was placed on the woman’s waist.
At this moment, Shen Zhen couldn’t bear it anymore, so she pulled his sleeves hard.
Lu Yan was really worried that she would vomit it out, so he quickly took her to the second floor without caring about anything else.
After everyone dispersed, the younger woman took the older woman’s hand and asked, “Mom, who do you think they are?”
The shopkeeper curled her lips and said, “Looking at their posture and their accent, they don’t sound like they are from Yangzhou.”
The young woman gestured towards the stairs and said softly: “That person just now should be his wife right.”
The woman snorted coldly and said: “What kind of place is Yangzhou? I have seen thousands of girls like that. What kind of woman can look like she is boneless and lean on a man in broad daylight. What kind of good thing can she be? Just looking at her willow waist, I can tell at a glance that she is definitely not a wife, but probably a concubine.”
The younger woman held her chin with her hands, “But I saw that that woman had an extraordinary bearing, and her hands were so fair and beautiful.”
The woman pushed her temples and said, “What kind of an idiot did I give birth to? Just now the man glanced at you once and the foxy seducer hurriedly pulled his sleeves. What extraordinary bearing? Wait till you see her face tomorrow, you will know what I’m saying.”
Most men in this world are like this. They have to have a virtuous and well-matched person at home, and they have to have a foxy and charming person by their side.
Most of these foxy girls have a demonic appearance and their figures are more attractive, but they cannot reach the level of elegance.
