"Yingluo, I'm really glad that you can come to Xuanwu City." Shangguan Yueluo sat next to Su Kunyuan, thanking her for taking this trip to facilitate the two of them. "What are you two planning to do next?" She wanted to hear what they were planning to do next. "I originally planned to wait until my father's birthday has passed before bringing up the matter between me and Yue'er. My parents have always liked you, so I want you to come forward and reject me directly. I think my parents will give up now." If the two of them have no feelings for each other, it is useless for the elders to like them, and they cannot be escorted to worship. "Okay. I will find a time to talk to Aunt Zhu." Pei Yingluo agreed. It's a simple matter. Look at Shangguan Yue with your apricot eyes. "Yue'er, your parents won't object to the matter between you and Brother Su, right?" "You also know that we, mother and daughter, have no status at all in the house. Dad is naturally happy to be able to join the Su family." Shangguan Yue smiled bitterly. Su Kunyuan gently held her hand comfortingly, and the natural affection between the two made Pei Yingluo, who was sitting opposite, envious. The three of them chatted for a while, and Pei Yingluo wisely left first, leaving the two of them alone. Pei Yingluo and his servant left the inn, asked for the direction of Lingfengxuan, and walked for about a quarter of an hour. At this moment, she was standing in front of the Lingfengxuan shop in the east of the city, looking at the plaque hanging on the door. The three characters Lingfengxuan were written in gold letters on a black background. "Girl, do you want to come in for a visit? The crystals we sell at Lingfengxuan are all rare treasures." Chang Qing, who was wearing a green robe and with a smile on her baby face, saw the stunning beauty standing outside the door and took the initiative to step forward and ask. "Then I'll excuse you." A slight smile appeared on Pei Yingluo's soft face. That slight smile made Chang Qing stare straight for a moment, but Qiu Yue beside him coughed slightly in displeasure. Only then did he come back to his senses and lead the master and servant into the shop respectfully and politely. As soon as Pei Yingluo stepped into the shop, she looked at the necklaces, bracelets, earrings, and ornaments displayed on the cabinets. They were all made of crystals of various colors. The colors were dazzling. At a glance, she knew that the quality was better than that of the Pearl and Jade Pavilion. The Pei family owns gold and silver veins, so there is no problem in providing the gold and silver jewelry for Zhuyu Pavilion. But when it comes to crystals, they were provided by a friend of my eldest brother who specializes in shipping goods from the north to the south. Naturally, they cannot be compared with the crystals mined on Lingshan Island. This is why the eldest brother hopes that she can meet Murong Che and discuss the possibility of cooperation between the two companies. This was her second purpose for coming to Xuanwu City. It's just that she never expected that Murong Che would be such a person who hides his sword behind his smile, so she... hesitated about the possibility of cooperation proposed by her eldest brother. "I wonder if the crystal ornaments sold by Lingfengxuan are suitable for Miss Pei Er's eyes?" Suddenly, a laughing voice came from behind, and Pei Yingluo turned around in shock, her almond-shaped eyes meeting that handsome and smiling face. "Mr. Murong." Since you met him here, why not take this opportunity to talk to him? "It has been heard that the hair accessories of Zhuyu Pavilion were all drawn and carved by Miss Pei herself. I wonder what Miss Pei thinks of the crystals sold by Lingfengxuan?" Murong Che smiled with his dark eyes, and did not miss the slight frown on her eyebrows when she turned to face him. It seemed that she was not happy to see him. "Mr. Murong, you're welcome. Every crystal in Lingfeng Pavilion is clear in texture and bright in color. It's of top quality. Whether it's an amethyst necklace, a pink quartz bracelet, a topaz pendant, etc., all the accessories are stunning. How can Yingluo dare to have any opinions about it." She said these words not to be polite, but to tell the truth. I had only heard that Lingfengxuan's crystals were of high quality, and seeing them is better than hearing it a hundred times. It's no wonder that even though it's expensive, people are still flocking to it. It was said that the ladies in the palace especially loved Lingfengxuan's crystal jewelry, and the Queen's aunt even had a very precious amethyst necklace. "It is a great honor for me, Lingfengxuan, to be praised by Miss Pei Er." Murong Che stared at her soft and beautiful face with his dark eyes. He had heard that the three sisters of the Pei family were extremely beautiful. He originally thought the rumors were too exaggerated. It was not until he met Pei Liuli in the Meng Mansion and now Pei Yingluo that he believed the rumors were true. Unlike Pei Liuli, whose beautiful face reveals shrewdness, Pei Yingluo's softness exudes a sense of spirituality and serenity, and it can be seen that she must have a good temperament. "I don't know if Mr. Murong is free at the moment. Yingluo has something she wants to talk to Mr. Murong privately." Murong Che raised his eyebrows in surprise, and the smile on Qing Jun's face deepened. "Then please follow me." He took the lead and headed towards the curtain in the corner of the shop. Upon seeing this, Pei Yingluo hurriedly followed him and saw him opening the curtain and walking straight in. After passing through the hall, he stopped in front of a wing room. Murong Che turned back to look at her with a smile, opened the door and walked in. Pei Yingluo hesitated for a while, and was about to follow her in, but was held back by Qiuyue. "Second Miss, are you sure you want to go in? Although Mr. Murong always smiles, I can tell that he is not a good person." Qiuyue couldn't help but be afraid when she thought of the scene she saw in the alley of Suzaku City: she believed that it would be difficult for Second Miss to forget it. "Although he is not a good person, he should not do anything to hurt me. Don't forget, we are here to complete the tasks assigned by the elder brother." Pei Yingluo believed that she would not misjudge the person. When Qiuyue heard this, she stopped stopping him. She was also present when the eldest young master explained the matter to the second young lady. "Let's go." Pei Yingluo glanced at her and walked in first, followed quickly by Qiuyue. Chapter 2(1) "I don't agree." Murong Che looked at the beautiful lady sitting opposite him with a smile, took a sip of hot tea, and rejected her proposal without any consideration. "Mr. Murong, my brother is very sincere in wanting to cooperate with Lingfengxuan. It's easy to negotiate the price." Pei Yingluo persuaded softly. She secretly thought that she was not good at business matters, but her elder brother asked her to come forward to negotiate this cooperation, which was really difficult for her. What's more, the man she faced was not simple. How could she possibly convince him? The wing the two of them were staying in at the moment was the wing where Murong Che rested when she came to Lingfengxuan. In order to avoid suspicion, the door was wide open, and Qiu Yue, who was worried about her, followed behind her. "I don't intend to share the profits of the crystals sold in Lingfengxuan. They are sold exclusively by Lingfengxuan. Your Pei family's Pearl and Jade Pavilion is already well-known in the government and the public, so why are you greedily coveting the crystals of Lingfengxuan?" Murong Che poured her a cup of hot tea, his smile filled with sarcasm. "Oh." Pei Yingluo sighed in resignation, frowned slightly, picked up the teacup with her little hand and took a sip. Murong Che saw that her dark eyebrows were slightly twisted, and her troubled look was very charming, so his eyes couldn't help but stay on her face. After all, everyone loves to appreciate beautiful things. It is undeniable that Pei Yingluo's every smile is very eye-catching. "In this case, it's inconvenient for Yingluo to bother you any more." Pei Yingluo stood up to leave. "How long do you plan to stay in Xuanwu City, Miss Pei?" Murong Che stood up and saw her out. "I will stay temporarily for a while. If Mr. Murong changes his mind, you can send someone to the Su Mansion to inform me." Pei Yingluo still held on to a glimmer of hope, although she knew it was slim. Murong Che chuckled, and the two walked side by side through the hall and returned to the shop. "Mr. Murong, farewell." Pei Yingluo bent towards him and turned around to walk out of Lingfeng Pavilion. "I didn't expect that Miss Pei was also a hypocritical person. She clearly didn't agree with what I was doing, but she forced herself to negotiate business with me for her own benefit. The smile on Murong Che's handsome face remained unchanged, and there was obvious innuendo in his cool tone. Pei Yingluo stopped and turned to look at him, her almond-shaped eyes unable to conceal her surprise. She thought she was hiding it well, but she didn't expect him to see it out. And still in this way - exposing her directly to her face; what kind of person is he? "Mr. Murong's words are serious. After all, Yingluo is just an outsider, so who has the right to judge what he has done? I'm leaving." Pei Yingluo looked directly at him fearlessly with her almond-shaped eyes, spoke impeccable words in her soft voice, bent towards him again, and left with Qiuyue. "As expected of a member of Zhuyu Pavilion." Murong Che couldn't help but laugh softly. There was a rare sincerity in that smile, which made Wei Han and Chang Qing look at each other in surprise. Pei Yingluo looks soft and slender, but underneath she is a courageous and intelligent woman, interesting!
