Male superiority and female superiority: forced love

"One hundred and one hundred thousand taels." Fu Suiyun added a small amount.

It seems that the "friend" above wants to eat alone, but he can't break the rules.

Pushing open the window, he gazed at Hibiscus Pavilion with a half-smile. The dark shadow on the curtain was glowing faintly under the candlelight. That was the color of floating brocade.

Fu Suiyun's pupils suddenly shrank, and he said seriously, "Brother Jin, I'm afraid a very important person has come to Furong Pavilion today."

"Oh? Who is it?" Jin Wuchen waved his jade fan nonchalantly, but his eyes were fixed on the direction of Yuquan Pavilion.

There was a lady there, very tall, but her features were unclear. The reason he noticed her was because the unique Buddha's hand flower contrasting dress she was wearing was designed by him personally.

"The Beiyue Royal Family," Fu Suiyun said confidently. No wonder that person was so determined to buy the "Longevity and Happiness Earrings"; it turned out he had met the real deal.

"The Beiyue royal family?" Yue Huashan suddenly became interested and peered out the window. A few days ago, the crown prince of Beiyue Kingdom was sent as an envoy to Dayong. Could it be him?

"Look, isn't that the daughter of the Minister of Rites, Lord Yue, in the Narcissus Pavilion?"

"It looks like it!"

"What do you mean by looks like? She is!"

Her gentle appearance attracted the attention of several young men, and the building suddenly became lively.

"Ms. Yue, I am Shi Zhong, the captain of the city gate. We met at the palace banquet. You were sitting at the table in front of me. Do you still remember me?" Shi Zhong straightened his body impatiently, raised his head and bowed in the direction of Narcissus Pavilion to introduce himself.

"So it's Mr. Shi, nice to meet you." Yue Huashan did remember him. That day, the man was wearing a navy blue satin robe embroidered with seven or eight pictures of hundreds of birds, making it hard not to notice him. And he spent at least half the time winking at her, making her want to touch him. In terms of appearance, he was quite pleasing to the eye, but his official rank was a bit low, only a fourth-rank official. If it weren't for his father, a third-rank lieutenant general, how could he have the qualifications to attend the banquet?

However, Yue Huashan never turned away admirers. She would just exchange a few polite words and then send them away.

Just as I was about to look away, seven or eight more young men followed suit and introduced themselves.

This little episode directly disrupted the rhythm of the auction, but the men in the building didn't mind at all. They opened their eyes wide, with a wolf-like green light, and stared straight at the goose yellow figure.

There are too many monks and too little porridge, there is not enough food!

The number of eligible noble ladies in Liangcheng was dwindling, and Yue Huashan was one of them. If she could become the son-in-law of the Minister of Rites, her career would be a meteoric rise.

Ruan Chuyin looked at the face of above-average appearance and finally remembered which family the noble lady Yue they were talking about came from.

"Is it over yet? Master of Ceremonies, are you still going to film the Jade Bone Cream?"

At that moment, the window of the third-floor "Magnolia Pavilion" was flung open, and a young woman in a pomegranate skirt shouted mercilessly, followed by two other noble ladies in hibiscus and peach colors. The three of them had the same expression: arrogant and conceited.

The air froze for a few moments, and thunderous cheers broke out from the crowd, startling Ruan Chuyin and Ji Zhiya.

"It's Chu Yingli, the noble daughter of the Minister of War, Lord Chu, Jiang Wan from the Minister of Works, and Tang Mo from the Marquis of Yingwu!" a man in green clothes shouted.

"bang bang bang"

Except for Yuquan Pavilion and Furong Pavilion, the windows of all the elegant pavilions on the four floors were open from top to bottom and from left to right.

What good day is today? Four of Liangcheng's most prestigious ladies have arrived, all of them unmarried and highly sought-after.

Happiness came too suddenly. Ninety percent of the single men rushed up and the situation was out of control for a while. No matter how the emcee shouted or beat the drum, it was useless.

Ruan Chuyin looked at the chaotic scenes upstairs and downstairs, feeling extremely fortunate that she was married.

Ji Zhiya could understand these men's feelings. After all, no one wanted to be a slave. However, if the other person was her, even if she really was a slave, what was the harm?

With this in mind, his long gaze was drawn back to the side, full of love.

Chu Yingli seemed very satisfied with the feeling of being the center of attention, and half-jokingly said, "If anyone among you can buy this bottle of jade bone cream for me today, I will give him a chance."

As soon as these words were spoken, the building suddenly became even more noisy.

"Chu Yingli, you really bring shame to us noble ladies!" Yue Huashan has been at odds with her since childhood, and now she sneers at her behavior of accepting anyone who has money.

However, Chu Yingli was not someone to be trifled with. She replied with disdain, "You're talking as if you, Yue Huashan, are so classy. If you have the guts, stop holding Fu Suiyun's arm."

"You! Suiyun, look at her! She's always bullying people! Hurry up and take a picture of that treasure to kill her arrogance!" Yue Huashan was hit in the heart, and turned to Jinshan beside her in frustration and started to act coquettishly.

Fu Suiyun was a businessman. No matter how much he doted on Yue Huashan, there was a limit. But he really had his eye on the bottle of Jade Bone Cream. After all, it had been two years since he last saw it. If he missed it this time, he didn't know when he would come across it again. Thinking of this, his eyes grew more determined.

Under great temptation, there must be brave men. Two wealthy young men from well-off families took turns raising the price, pushing it all the way up to 126,000 taels. Chu Yingli was so happy that she couldn't help but look at them with affection.

Ruan Chuyin's mind was now full of Ji Zhiya's promise to give her a few bottles. Just how many bottles? She excitedly tilted her head, caught off guard by a fiery gaze. It turned out he had been looking at her the whole time. Her cheeks flushed, her heart agitated, and she feigned composure, praising him, "Master Ji, you're truly amazing."

"I have more than one strength. Miss Ruan might as well spend some time to learn about them. You said before that you wanted to treat me to a meal. Are you free the day after tomorrow at noon?" Ji Zhiya said seriously and humorously, with a faint smile on his face, but his eyes were extremely serious.

The day after tomorrow?

She felt she might not have the time. She'd been dreaming for the past two days of Xiang Yunchi coming to kill her. Her good days were numbered.

Seeing that she looked a little embarrassed, Ji Zhiya changed the subject and said slowly, "If you are busy, then those ten bottles of jade bone ointment will be..."

and many more!

Ruan Chuyin's delicate body trembled, and she excitedly grasped his wrist and said, "When you have time, come to Mingyue Tower at noon the day after tomorrow, and I will personally cook for you!"

Ten bottles of beauty products are enough to make all the husbands stand aside. At worst, I can coax them back one by one later.

"But I don't want to dine at Mingyue Restaurant." Ji Zhiya smiled slightly and flicked the dogwood fruit. His eyes flickered.

"So what do you mean?" It was the first time that Ruan Chuyin heard someone unwilling to eat at her place, and a strange feeling arose in her heart.

"How about when you're ready, I take you up the mountain to enjoy the sea of ​​clouds and a drink with the Golden Crow? Or maybe we can go to Tomorrow Spring Garden to enjoy the flowers, the wine, the wind, and the music?" Ji Zhiya mentioned two places, each more interesting than the last. She hadn't really traveled since she came here, and she wanted to go everywhere.

Perhaps the desire in his eyes was too obvious, which made Ji Zhiya laugh out loud. He said, "Then let's go up the mountain to enjoy the clouds first. Next time, you can invite me to Mingri Spring Garden."

This suggestion sounds good, but... why do I feel like I'm being led astray?

Why did she come to the ghost market? Qingyou Fruit!
