Chapter 33: Provoking

  
  Spring returns to the earth, the orioles sing and the swallows dance. At dusk, the golden sunlight shines brightly, falling on a shop in the most prosperous part of the capital. The blue glazed tiles are illuminated so brightly, the light is overflowing. It's really eye-catching.

  Dong Qin stretched out her hand and opened the slate-colored curtain of the sedan. Lin Luan got out of the carriage and looked up at the exquisitely and elegantly decorated shop in front of her through the curtains and gauze that were blown by the warm spring breeze.

  I saw that on the plaque hanging high in the shop, there were three words written with iron paintings and silver hooks, and the words "three points in the wood" were written, which were the shop's signboard: Liuli Pavilion.

  Not sure what came to mind, Lin Luan looked up at the plaque in front of him, seemingly stunned for a moment.

  But when Dongqin realized it and looked at Lin Luan's face with a hint of curiosity and surprise, she saw that she had returned to her usual calm expression, as if the strangeness just now was just Dongqin's temporary illusion. .

  Seeing Lin Luan stop and make no move, as if hesitating, Dong Qin thought that although this young lady was usually calm and self-denying, she was still young and she should also like these fashionable jewelry among the noble ladies in the capital. .

  Thinking of this, Dongqin couldn't help but have a gentle and kind smile on his face.

  She withdrew her gaze from Lin Luan, who was silently lost in thought, and looked at the beautifully decorated Liuli Pavilion in front of her. She lowered her head and suggested to Lin Luan: "Madam, this is a jewelry shop. Do you want to go in and have a look?"

  Due to Dongqin's polite question with a smile, Lin Luan was able to withdraw from the chaotic thoughts and memories. Although she said nothing, she nodded gently and walked into the Liuli Pavilion. .

  As one of the most famous jewelry shops in the capital, Liuli Pavilion is certainly unusual.

  Although Lin Luan originally just wanted to come in and see if Liuli Pavilion looked like what he had imagined before, after passing a few counters, he couldn't help but stop and his eyes were attracted.

  Just when she was hesitantly about to take the step hairpin, a girl in apricot clothes suddenly walked over beside her. Before Lin Luan could continue to speak to the waiter in the shop, she took the lead and said: "Wrap this step hairpin into a bag." Get up, I want it."

  After reaching out and tapping the counter, he saw a hairpin placed on the lacquered wooden shelf. Lin Luan said to the waiter waiting in front of him: "Bring over the hairpin and show it to me. Let's take a look."

  The waiter looked up and saw the young lady wearing a curtain hat in front of her, but she still couldn't hide her graceful and graceful appearance. He looked in the direction her slender finger was pointing, and couldn't help but feel warmth on her face. And come with a respectful smile.

  Lin Luan listened to the waiter in front of him spare no effort in praising the Bu Yao hairpin. He was a little careless at first, but when he heard the second half of his sentence, he took over the Bu Yao hairpin and paused slightly.

  "Madam, you are really discerning. This hairpin is the treasure of our store. The jade inlaid on it is the favorite black jade of the ladies in the palace. It is elegant and regular without losing luxury. , which is a perfect match for you."

  "..."

  She was silent for a moment, and although there was no hint of happiness or anger on her face, there was a flash of conflict in her eyes.

  The girl's voice was indulgent and somewhat provocative. The waiter rarely encountered such a situation. He looked at Lin Luan, who looked calm in front of him, and couldn't help but hesitated: "This..."

  Lin Luan frowned slightly. But he didn't seem to take the girl's obvious provocation seriously.

  Gently shaking his head to the waiter, Lin Luan pointed to another hairpin on the lacquered wood shelf and said in a calm and gentle tone: "When you finish your work, put that hibiscus hairpin away." Bring the hairpin over and let me take a look."
    When the waiter heard this, he felt a little relieved. He glanced at Lin Luan gratefully, nodded with a smile and agreed, "Okay, madam, please wait a moment..."

  But who expected the waiter's voice? Just then, the girl standing next to Lin Luan raised her eyebrows slightly, looking at the hibiscus hairpin in an increasingly coquettish and provocative tone, and said again: "Wrap that hibiscus hairpin for me too."

  This time, The look of embarrassment and embarrassment that had just subsided on the waiter's face couldn't help but become more intense.

  He looked at Lin Luan, who looked calm and indifferent in front of him, as if he had been provoked and was calm, and then looked at the girl with a coquettish and slightly aggressive tone. After a while, his face was full of helplessness towards the girl. He said: "Miss He, you..."

  Seeing the waiter's hesitant look, the girl named Miss He looked gloomy, interrupted the waiter's words, and asked impatiently: "Stand still." What? There is money delivered to your door, and you still refuse to accept it? Wrap up the walking hairpin and this hibiscus hairpin for me and send them to my house." It seems that

  this Miss He He should be a regular customer of Liuli Pavilion, but he didn't know where Lin Luan had ever offended her, forcing her to push him like this.

  However, there were only one or two hairpins on the left and right, and Lin Luan had never lacked these things.

  Lin Luan frowned imperceptibly, and turned around to leave, not wanting to continue to tangle with this girl.

  Lin Luan glanced at Dong Qin with gleaming black eyes and a slightly cold expression on her face. It was obvious that she could tell that this girl was deliberately causing trouble. Lin Luan said to her softly: "Dong Qin, I'm tired. Let's go back." Come on."

  Seeing the calm look on Lin Luan's beautiful face, as if she had not been hurt by this incident, Dong Qin had no choice but to suppress the coldness in her heart and respectfully said, "Yes." However,

  Lin Luan just now After taking a few steps, Miss He followed and blocked Lin Luan's way.

  Lin Luan was extremely annoyed and frowned slightly, not wanting to quarrel with this charming young lady who, for some reason, was tit-for-tat against him.

  Ever since she was a child, she had always avoided situations like this whenever she could, not wanting to involve herself in inexplicable disputes.

  Lin Luan moved slightly, trying to bypass the girl blocking her and walk out of the Liuli Pavilion. Unexpectedly, the girl blocked her again. She looked at her with an ugly face and said coldly: "Stop."

  Lin Luan Looking at the girl with a stern face and a slightly cold expression in front of him, he looked at her with calm and cold eyes without any emotion.

  It was clear that the pretty young lady in front of him was about the same age as himself, but for some reason, when He Xi was being stared at by her like this, he felt inexplicably guilty and flinched, and wanted to get out of the way.

  However, when he thought about how depressed and angry he had been these past few days, and how long he had been waiting to show off to her and give her some color, the timidity and guilt in He Xi's heart completely disappeared.

  She opened her lips and was about to say something provocatively, but unexpectedly, the young lady who had been treating her like nothing in front of her and said nothing suddenly opened her mouth and asked in a calm tone: "I don't know that Miss He is always making things difficult for her, so what are you doing?"
