Chapter 199 Four Seasons Like Spring

/p>                                                              

She is really fair-skinned and beautiful. She wears a dark blue silk skirt. The dark clothes make her skin look whiter, but she is a bit solemn. It is probably because the formal clothes in ancient and modern times are mostly dark.

Chen Xu's figure is tall, with weak bones, but it looks round and smooth everywhere. His round forehead, large round eyes under single eyelids and long eyelashes; and his tailor-fitting silk skirt, the silk is very soft to the body, making his shoulders look round and small, and his chest lines are round and full.

After hearing Hou Hai's report, Zhu Gaoxu thought that Chen Xu was a charming woman with heavy makeup and jewels, but she didn't expect that she looked like this.

At first glance, she looked almost blue and white, which looked very simple. She only applied light makeup on her face, without any trace, and she couldn't tell if she didn't look closely. The silk skirt she wore was of high quality, with a faint luster, but had no patterns at all.

Even so, Chen Xu's outfit did not look plain at all. It turned out that there was a little red line on her lining collar and gold lines; the only jewelry, a golden bead hairpin on her black hair, and the colors of rubies and gold were very bright. There were only two embellishments, but it was just right... A little more would look too bright, and a little less would be too simple.

Chen Xu's clothes also covered her body tightly, and the lining collar was already under the collarbone. But for some reason, she was very sexy... A woman doesn't have to show her flesh. Chen Xu's silk skirt just fits in every part, and the material is soft, so it's enough to make the natural graceful outline of the body. The only exposed collarbone skin is white and elegant in shape, which makes her feel a bit of skinny beauty with weak bones and plump skin.

Her dark dress, her simple and tightly wrapped dress, and her dignified posture looked like a widow who was pure and self-disciplined, but after a little closer, she realized that it was not the case at all!

Chen Xu should be older than Zhu Gaoxu, and may be in his twenties. He led a girl of eleven or twelve years old to Zhu Gaoxu. His smooth face was very white, a clear smile appeared in his clear eyes, and a childish and cute little girl. So Chen Xu felt a bit virgin under his mature demeanor and seductive figure, which was really special.

"I am Chen Xu, and I welcome His Highness the King of Han. His Highness the King of Han will come and ask the Shen family's humble house to shine brightly." Chen Xu stepped forward and held the tribute in a straightforward manner and said openly.

Her posture was very stable, her voice was straight and round, and her Nanjing accent without a trace of distortion seemed very confident and calm in front of the prince.

Of course, Zhu Gaoxu didn't want to use his power to suppress others. In that case, he would be more than a big shot. He calmed down and clasped his fists and said, "I'm upset."

"Your Highness, please." Chen Xu leaned forward slightly, "I am the guide of His Highness, Your Highness,"

Zhu Gaoxu and others followed her and walked into the gate from the soft blanket. There was a winding corridor inside. Walking up the corridor, there was a spotless wooden floor under her feet, and the environment was very quiet and quiet.

Through the corridor, Zhu Gaoxu found that the construction layout of the Shen Mansion was completely different from that of the ordinary mansion. It was not an ordinary courtyard layout. How was it planned? Zhu Gaoxu didn't understand it at the moment when he was in "Lushan".

Not far from the gate, there is actually a lake! Generally, landscape gardens are in the backyard, and a lake is built in the front yard. I have never seen it before and have never heard of it.

Chen Xu didn't say much, and while walking, she still said a few words from time to time. She turned her head slightly and said, "Your Highness is used to the hot and cold weather in Yunnan?"

"Fortunately, it's not that Kunming is like spring all year round?" Zhu Gaoxu said.

They were all homely words, neither too much nor too much. They neither neglected Zhu Gaoxu nor were they excited to chat, making him feel very relaxed and comfortable.

When Zhu Gaoxu saw that the skin exposed on Chen Xu's neck was very white, he thought that this woman must have lived in simplicity... Yunnan's ultraviolet rays are very strong. After Zhu Gaoxu arrived, he saw that the people here were a little dark. Even the migrant Han women had dark skin. To develop a skin color like Chen Xu, I'm afraid there was only one way to not go out to bask in the sun.

Soon, Chen Xu brought Zhu Gaoxu and others to a building, located on the south bank of the lake. The building was big and weird... It was said to be a pavilion, but it was too big. It was said to be not a pavilion, it was dome, and it was ventilated on all sides; the tile roof was supported by columns, and the surrounding area was a wooden waist wall, and everything inside could be seen clearly.

Zhu Gaoxu suddenly remembered that the houses lived in by some tropical tribes in Southeast Asia were a bit like the shape of this building. They really combine Central Plains architecture and exotic styles.

Sure enough, after walking in, Zhu Gaoxu saw various decorations of exotic cultures on a wall, including wild beast totems, wooden wall paintings, Buddha statues from the southern countries with naked body exposed, Japanese magma, fans and other objects, which were completely unconsistent with traditional objects in the Central Plains.

This scene gave Zhu Gaoxu an impression, as if Chen Xu was not a widow who only cared about piston movement every day, but she had a wide range of vision and interests.

The coffee table placed in the house was in an antique Middle-earth style. Chen Xu asked Zhu Gaoxu to sit in the upper seat and accompany him; Wang Gui stood behind Zhu Gaoxu. After a while, a middle-aged woman in a plain white dress came to make tea.

After sitting down, Chen Xu smiled and looked at the entourage around the house, and the dozen people who came in with Zhu Gaoxu. They were all young and strong men. Although they were wearing civilian clothes, they could see the weapons and objects in their arms.

The tall and strong men were all personal guards of the royal palace, well-trained, and slowly walked around without saying a word. The formation seemed to be very casual, but they faced each other in various directions, walked by and exchanged positions, and their eyes carefully observed the movements from afar at any time.

"Aga..." Suddenly, an unknown water bird chirping came from the lake, which immediately attracted more than a dozen men to glance at each other.

It is very quiet, and even a bird's cry is strange. The quiet and elegant place is shrouded in a faint tension.

Chen Xu said, "Xian Weng was guilty of being punished. When he came to Yunnan, someone advised him to change his name and surname, but Xian Weng said that he was upright and not afraid of his shadow. Good fortune and fortune are just heaven."

Zhu Gaoxu nodded seriously and said, "If you don't change your surname or your name, the Shen family really has a generous demeanor."

Chen Xu bowed slightly and said, "Thank you for your praise. When His Highness the King of Han first came to Yunnan Prefecture, I was a little worried. Just because His Highness is famous, he is the king of soldiers. If he uses force to judge right and wrong, no matter how much reason is, it will not make sense. Unexpectedly, I was lucky enough to see Your Highness himself, but I saw that Your Highness is polite, gentle, humble, and gentle, and gentle. I have been worried too much."

Zhu Gaoxu smiled disapprovingly and said to himself: She put a high hat on me first, wanting me to be unable to open my face and force me to rob me? Chen Xu was really worried. Zhu Gaoxu, a prince, is not short of money. If he could buy something, why should he rob it?

He said, "The princess is sick and has not recovered for nearly a month. A genius doctor named Chen from Yunnan Province said he would take a thousand years of care for Korean ginseng. I heard that there was a couple in Chen's residence, so I brought a wealth worth 500 taels of gold to come as a deposit. If it was not enough, I would make up for it. I would pay it back and sell it to Mrs. Chen."

Zhu Gaoxu obviously expressed great sincerity. Five hundred taels of gold can be worth five or six million yuan in future generations. He also left a message and could increase the price.

At this moment, the woman next to her brewed tea and poured two small purple clay cups. Chen Xu picked up a small cup and gently turned it to the other cup. She handed the cup she picked up with both hands and said, "Don't worry, please drink tea. This is Yunnan ripe tea, which has the effect of clearing fire."

Zhu Gaoxu took the teacup carefully, grabbed it with two fingers, and did not touch Chen Xu's hand. He looked at the other cup quietly and thought to himself: I just came to Yunnan and have no grudges with you. I don't believe that you will poison me if you meet me!

After he thought about it, he took a sip, but the cup was so small that it disappeared in one sip. Seeing this, Chen Xu smiled, picked up the purple clay pot with his own hand, and poured another cup for Zhu Gaoxu.

At this time, she also picked up the other cup, put it on the edge of her mouth and nose and sniffed it gently, took a sip and put it in her mouth. She glanced at the tea-making woman slightly again, and the woman bent her knees and left.

After tasting a little tea, Chen Xu said slowly: "I do have a pair of thousand-year-old Korean ginseng in my house. However, a few years ago, my husband was seriously ill and took a ginseng with medicine. Now there is only one left. The Shen family is doing business, but not everything is sold. This is not a sale."

Zhu Gaoxu was stunned.

Chen Xu looked at him and showed a playful smile, "But I can give it to His Highness the King of Han."

After hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly said, "How can you be so embarrassed?"

Chen Xushi said: "Your Highness came to the door in a personal dress. Is it worth a ginseng plant in order to give the Shen family such a great face?"

Zhu Gaoxu was asked in one sentence, and he couldn't do it anymore if he wanted to pretend to be polite.

Chen Xu said with a slight joke: "If your highness looks down on the gift of meeting, then I will take it back."

The person living in Yunnan really has a bit of humor. Zhu Gaoxu immediately clasped his fists and said, "Since that's the case, it's better to obey your orders than respect. Thank you." He thought about it and said sensibly: "This is a favor I owe Mrs. Chen. If you can use it in the future, I'll send someone to say it."

"Your Highness is joking. Your Highness goes to Yunnan to work hard, and how can you dare to work hard on your minor matters easily?" Chen Xu said.

At this moment, the woman who was making tea came up with a wooden box in her arms. Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help but look at it. He said that those useless things were not the focus of this trip, he only wanted thousand-year-old Korean ginseng.
