Chapter 11 Not just a chance encounter
As soon as dawn was dawn, Lu Xuan went to see the prince.
Empress Lu is the daughter of Duke Cheng. As Empress Lu’s only son, the prince and Lu Xuan are the cousins of their relatives.
After talking about the main business, the prince asked, "Cousin Xuan, is there any news about Cousin Mo now?"
Lu Xuan shook his head: "There is no news yet, I will take someone to check later."
"Then Cousin Xuan, go quickly. The queen and I are very worried, but I believe that Cousin Mo must have a good fortune." The prince said, coughing.
The prince was weak since childhood, and this was common to Lu Xuan.
"Your Highness takes care of yourself, and I will tell you the first time I have news about my younger brother."
The prince nodded with a pale face and watched Lu Xuan leave.
The palace calmed down, and the prince took the cup handed over by the eunuch and took a sip, suppressing his cough.
Outside the imperial city, the manager of the Duke's Mansion was waiting there. When he saw Lu Xuan coming out and greeted him: "The eldest son."
Lu Xuan waved his hand: "Take me to meet those vendors."
There were some scattered stalls near the city gate. The manager standing behind the tree by the roadside pointed to a few places and whispered: "Young Master, you said that those who have seen the second master and Miss Feng are those people."
Lu Xuan observed for a moment and walked towards a peddler.
The peddler hurriedly smiled: "Young Master, see what you want to buy."
Judging from the young master's demeanor, he obviously looked down on what he sold, but he didn't dare to offend him.
Lu Xuan swept away all the gadgets used by girls' homes, and was dazzled by the sight. He casually threw a piece of silver into the hands of the peddler: "I bought them all."
The peddler was stunned at first, then ecstatic.
Oh my God, he finally encountered such a playboy who spent a lot of money.
"Thank you, my son." The peddler bowed repeatedly.
His reaction immediately attracted the vendors around him to see him.
"Inquiry."
The peddler hurriedly said, "Please tell me, young master."
"I heard that you have seen the second son of Duke Cheng's Mansion and the eldest daughter of the Shangshu's Mansion go out of the city together, and tell me what they are dressing that day."
After hearing Lu Xuan's question, the peddler was not surprised at all.
I don't know how many people have asked him these questions in the past two days. Now that he still has money, he speaks more fluently: "The girl is wearing a light green dress and a swallowtail bun, and the young man with her is wearing a bamboo green straight-up-"
The peddler paused, pointed to Lu Xuan's clothes and said, "The color and style are similar to what the young master wears."
"Is that right?" the young man smiled, and glanced at the end of his eyes to pay attention to the people here.
When the vendors saw the young man who was being generous, they immediately became energetic. One of them said, "That's right, it's similar to the one who wears it."
A corner of silver drew a graceful arc in the air and fell into the hands of the vendor who opened the mouth.
Seeing this, others expressed their support.
"Can you describe the appearance of that young man?"
Several people who tasted the sweetness rushed to describe it.
Lu Xuan listened quietly, waited for the few people to stop and smiled, "Listen, why do you think that young man is similar to me?"
Describing a person's appearance, especially a handsome young man who seems to be old, is nothing more than those words.
The few people were stunned and subconsciously looked at Lu Xuan.
The peddler was the first to speak: "That young man is about the same height as you, is about the same fat and thin, and looks handsome. At first glance, it looks a bit similar, but when you look closely, you won't look like you."
The young man's slender fingers pinched a piece of silver, smiling: "Don't it?"
The broken silver shines in the sun, as if it will draw a beautiful arc in the next moment and fall into the hands of some lucky person.
Another man said first: "No, that young man is not as handsome as you!"
Others looked at him with contempt.
Why did you still answer quickly? You haven't confirmed it carefully yet.
The broken silver in the boy's hand indeed drew a graceful arc and fell into the man's hand.
Now the others can't remain silent.
"It's not like, your eyebrows and eyes are more delicate."
"Yes, the complexion is also whiter."
...
The manager, who was blocked by a tree, touched his nose.
How did you become a compliment to the beauty of the eldest son after serious investigation?
Lu Xuan heard enough and asked with a smile: "It really doesn't look like it at all?"
"Not like it, no like it!"
"This is strange." The young man suddenly smiled, feeling cold as if he was snowy in the mountains. "I am the eldest son of Duke Cheng's mansion, and I am twin brothers with the second son. I wear the same clothes. How come I don't look like it?"
The scene was quiet.
The manager came over and said, "Our eldest son is asking questions."
Several vendors were shocked when they still had an impression of the manager.
This young man is really the eldest son of Duke Cheng’s Mansion. Why don’t the twins look like each other?
The few people looked at each other and were a little confused for a moment.
The boy's eyes were narrow and long, and he glanced at the peddler with a cold look.
At that moment, the peddler seemed to fall into the ice cave, and he was so cold that he blurted out: "Oh, that day, don't recognize the wrong person!"
As soon as these words were said, several people reacted and couldn't help but panic when they looked at the young man who described the coldness.
"Young Master, I'm not talking nonsense. That day, several groups of people came to ask if they had seen a young man and a woman dressed up and looked like I had seen..." The peddler explained with a blank face.
Others said one after another: "Yes, at first we didn't know the identity of the young man and woman. The person we asked said the same description as we saw. Then we thought that it was the second son of Duke Cheng's Mansion and the eldest girl of the Shangshu Mansion. It was not a bad reputation for intentionally bad people..."
This movement has attracted a lot of people to watch.
Lu Xuan's expression was a little slow: "It turns out that he admitted his mistake. Don't talk nonsense in the future."
"Yes, yes, yes." Several people nodded like a chicken pecking at the rice.
Who dares to talk nonsense? Isn’t this a coincidence?
Lu Xuan turned around and left, leaving the onlookers' comments behind him.
The manager chased after him: "Young Master, what's going on?"
"Let's talk about it when you go home." Lu Xuan speeded up.
The streets were crowded with people, becoming more and more lively, and there were screams of exclamations on the small teahouse on the roadside.
"The eldest girl from Shangshu's Mansion is back?"
Lu Xuan stopped.
"Didn't it mean that the eldest girl from Shangshu's Mansion eloped with the second son of Duke Cheng's Mansion, why did he come back?"
"Well, you're all outdated rumors. The eldest girl from Shangshu's Mansion did not elope with the second son of Duke Cheng's Mansion, but fell into the hands of the kidnapped--"
"What, it fell into Paihuazi's hands? How did that little girl escape?"
The well-informed man proudly said: "This is a strange story--"
"Don't keep it a secret, say it!"
"The eldest girl from Shangshu's Mansion was actually rescued by a wild cat..."
The freshly released gossip spread far from the open window of the teahouse, and Lu Xuan's expression gradually became solemn.
It fell into the hands of a kidnapper and was rescued by a wild cat, which sounded familiar.
The boy suddenly raised his eyebrows and a face appeared in his mind: the girl who was temporarily excluded from being suspicious because she was particularly able to eat.
Could that girl be Miss Feng?
There was rumors of Miss Feng and her second brother elopement, and they happened to appear in the wilderness and begged him to take her back to Beijing.
She really has nothing to do with her second brother's disappearance?
It seems that he wants to confirm whether the girl is Miss Feng first.
The boy changed direction and asked in confusion: "Big Young Master, where are you going?"
This is not the direction to return to the Duke's Mansion.
"The Minister of Rites' Mansion."
It turns out that it is not just a chance meeting.
