Chapter 777 I Won’t Save You This Time (2)
She always guessed correctly about the layout of the surrounding shops, except for some new shops that might have just opened, but Yan Caiyue recognized some of the old shops.
In fact, the reason is very simple. Yan Caiyue has never been to Los Angeles.
But Xiao Qiluo had lived in Luocheng for several years. At that time, she was not yet Concubine Xiao. She was just a woman who took care of Liang Song's daily life!
Yes, not a palace maid, nor a concubine, just a woman.
"A Luo, when I have power, I will definitely treat you well, so just wait for me." Liang Song always painted all kinds of pie in the sky for Xiao Qiluo, "You are not a slave, not a concubine. When I have the power, I will directly give you a position that allows you to look down on the harem."
Is the position of a first-rank imperial concubine high? Probably very high, after all, Liang Song has not yet established a queen!
So is Xiao Qiluo's position stable?
How is it possible! She is an orphan without a mother's family, no children and no backing, so the only thing she can rely on is Liang Song's favor!
Love that is unequal from the beginning is nothing more than a game of emotion and power! The winner and loser are already decided!
"My lady, what's wrong with you?" Xiao Yuan noticed that her master had been staring out the window in a daze, so she asked with concern, "Are you tired?"
Yan Caiyue came back to her senses and stopped worrying about whether she had been here before. Instead, she shook her head and said, "Nothing. I just think this Luo City is very prosperous."
"Yes!" Xiaoyuan nodded in agreement.
Mrs. Liu and others originally wanted to invite Yan Caiyue to live with them so that they could take care of each other, but Yan Caiyue refused.
It was fine for her to entertain them during the day, but she wanted to rest at night.
"I have already booked the house in advance and paid the deposit, so I won't bother you ladies anymore." Yan Caiyue then said goodbye to them and asked the coachman to leave the street.
"Let's go to the dental clinic! Let's rent a yard first!" Yan Caiyue told the location of the dental clinic.
The driver said at this time: "Madam Yan, I'm afraid it will be difficult to rent a house you like if you go to rent a yard now."
This voice? Yan Caiyue was slightly stunned, and blurted out: "But Mr. Chen?"
"It's me, Madam Yan. Please don't blame me. I wanted to tell you about the house, but I was afraid of causing you unnecessary trouble, so I switched identities with your driver." Chen Ang was afraid that Yan Caiyue would misunderstand, so he quickly explained, "He is at my team's caravan, he is very safe!
I just want to talk to you. I didn’t have a chance to speak all along the way. Besides, Luocheng is holding the Peony Festival this time, and all the inns and houses are full, so…”
"Okay, I know what you mean, but next time you have to let me know in advance. Your sudden voice is really scary." Yan Caiyue couldn't bear to see a young man who didn't seem to be good at talking chattering for a long time, so she quickly interrupted him.
Chen Ang: Eh? There will be a next time! Lady Yan didn’t blame me! ヾ(≧▽≦*)o
The chatterbox fell silent for a moment, and Yan Caiyue was a little uncomfortable, so she asked, "Mr. Chen, where is the house you just mentioned? Does your sister live there too?"
"No, the house I'm talking about is a residential building with a courtyard. Although it only has one entrance, it has a good location and is also elegant!" As he spoke, the carriage slowly stopped.
Yan Caiyue lifted the car curtain and looked at the street outside. She asked in surprise, "Xuanpingfang?"
Xuanpingfang is the street closest to the royal palace in Luocheng. The houses here don’t seem to occupy a large area, but each one has a history, and it is also a good location to be quiet in a bustling city.
The key is that most of the neighbors here are either rich or noble, and the public security is very good!
"You know this place?" Chen Ang was also surprised. "Have you been to Luocheng before?"
Yan Caiyue shook her head: "I haven't been here, but I have read travel notes about Los Angeles!"
"Oh!" Chen Ang did not ask further questions, and then pointed to a house across the street not far away and said, "That is where our Chen family lives. If you need me, just send someone to call me.
By the way, when your driver comes back later, he will leave the carriage and horse at my place. Don’t worry, I will take care of it for you, in Los Angeles…”
"Lo City has strict control over carriages and horses. If you don't handle them properly, you will be fined." Yan Caiyue said familiarly, "I also read it in the travel notes."
"Yeah!" Chen Ang felt that Yan Caiyue was knowledgeable and had a better impression of her.
The door of the house opened and the servants inside carried in the small wooden box containing the luggage.
Xiao Yuan began to inspect the house, and said as she looked around: "My dear, this house has everything you need, there is nothing missing!"
"Yes!" Yan Caiyue also agreed with this point of view.
Then her eyes fell on the peonies planted in the yard.
It is the flowering season, the flowers are in full bloom, red as fire, white as snow, pink as clouds, and the layers of petals are shining in the sun.
Yan Caiyue stood among the flowers and couldn't help but reach out and gently stroke a blooming peony.
"My dear, this peony is so beautiful!" Xiao Yuan's voice was full of surprise, "I didn't expect that there would be such beautiful peonies in the yard prepared by Master Chen."
Yan Caiyue glanced at her maid and smiled slightly: "If the peonies in Luocheng are as famous as they are, they are really beautiful."
Then, he had an idea and said, "Let me observe these flowers carefully, maybe I can make some unique designs."
"Of course, my lady, you are the most powerful." In Xiaoyuan's opinion, her master knows everything and is the most powerful person.
In the next few days, Yan Caiyue admired the flowers while carefully observing the shape of the peonies.
She memorized the posture, color, and layers of petals of each flower, and began designing after returning home.
She used silk thread, jade and gold and silver threads to outline the contours of the peony, then embroidered the texture of the petals with fine needlework, and finally embellished it with crystal jade beads.
Every piece of jewelry made this time is lifelike, as if the agility and luxury of peony are frozen in a small space.
She also drew several peony embroidery sketches with charcoal based on her thoughts over the past few days.
That day, Yan Caiyue was about to get on her carriage with Xiaoyuan when she heard a man's voice behind her exclaiming, "Caiyue?"
Although it was a man's voice, the voice was shrill and somewhat feminine.
She looked back and could only see a man of medium build and no beard in the backlight.
Before he could answer, he saw the man walking quickly in front of him.
"Uncle Fu?" Yan Caiyue was also slightly stunned. She didn't expect to meet this old friend in Luocheng.
