Chapter 328: Strange Things in the City
General Shen said he would take people to the border to negotiate, but he didn't expect that he would bring back the second young master of Youcheng.
"Greetings, Your Highness and Princess. I'm Lu Feiqi, the Crown Prince's younger brother and Fei Yao's second elder brother. The best inn in the city has prepared a banquet. Feiqi, would you guys go and settle in first?" The smile was gentle and harmless.
Shen Yu heard his self-introduction and looked him up. He was indeed a smart man. He knew how to cater to people and even knew how to get close to him. If she didn't know that he was a big pervert in private, she might really be deceived by this elegant gentleman's appearance.
"No need to be so polite, I'll trouble you, Second Young Master," Lu Yingxing also smiled in the same elegant manner.
Lu Feiqi saw it all, and it was just as rumored, no matter who Prince Zhuo was facing, he was always calm and elegant. But in his opinion, he had a face full of indifference, and there was not even a smile in his eyes. The people in Luocheng were really blind.
In fact, Lu Feiqi was overthinking. Just because he was the son of Concubine Yun, there was no way the two of them would treat him well, not to mention that they already knew his disgusting hobbies in private. Lu Yingxing was still so friendly, it was all just a face-saving project. As the madam said, we can't just start fighting when we see a scumbag, right?
The carriages entered the city one after another. As the number of the workers was too large, they camped with the army along the way, so they were taken to open areas for resettlement.
Shen Yu opened the car curtain and frowned as he looked at the overly busy streets outside. Is Youcheng mainly dirty and messy?
There were a wide variety of shops on both sides of the road, including calligraphy and paintings, clothes, and pharmacies, but the problem was that the front of each shop was occupied by various small vendors, and the road instantly became a single lane, and the convoy had a hard time moving forward.
Shen Yu pulled Lu Yingxing's sleeve and said, "Is this Youcheng? It's so different from what I imagined."
Lu Yingxing leaned close to her ear and answered calmly, "We'll see whatever he wants to show us, Madam, don't mind."
Oh wow, it turns out that they are all props? What a big deal!
She said, this is totally illogical... If they really do this every day, how can the shops behind agree? They even occupy the entrance of the store, and some vendors push carts, and some put a large cloth on the ground to set up stalls. The things they sell are also varied. Anyway, it looks weird no matter how you look at it.
For example, in front of a cosmetics shop, there is a vegetable vendor on the left, and a fish vendor on the right, slaughtering fish on the spot? If they were allowed to open the stalls for two more days, all the cosmetics in the shop would smell like fish. It's really creative!
Shen Yu really didn't understand what the meaning of this illusion of forced prosperity was? They were not blind!
The group finally reached the inn. It was very imposing, and it was probably a remodeled mansion. Apart from not fitting in with the surroundings, it was pretty normal. After all, there were vendors in front of it...
After being helped off the carriage, Lu Feiqi said as soon as he saw her, "Princess Zhuo, may I ask what you think of Youcheng after your visit?"
Lu Yingxing raised his eyebrows slightly and stopped as he was about to help his wife into the house.
Shen Yu calmly replied, "It's fine, very prosperous."
Lu Feiqi nodded gently, and gestured for them to enter the inn. "This is a border city of our Youcheng. It borders Zhuocheng above and Luocheng below. Although it is not as prosperous as the main city, the people live a stable life there."
"Very good," Shen Yu said, then felt that he was being too perfunctory, so he added, "King You really governs well."
Everyone arrived at a garden, and the green plants everywhere made people feel relaxed and happy.
In front of him was a covered corridor, floating on the water, connecting the two courtyards on the left and right. Shen Yu chose the one on the left with a towering tree. Just after taking two steps, he heard Lu Feiqi say, "I wonder if the princess's business is interested in our Youcheng?"
Shen Yu glanced at the silent Lu Feifeng brothers and asked with a smile, "Excuse me, Mr. Lu, can you be the master of Youcheng?"
Lu Feiqi obviously didn't expect her to ask this question, "Of course."
Most of the businesses in Youcheng are controlled by the Yun family, and he can make the decision on the day.
"The second young master is the prince now? But why do I remember that Fei Yao's eldest brother is the prince of Youcheng?" Shen Yu had a harmless look on his face, as if he was asking sincerely.
After hearing this, Lu Feiqi's eyes turned cold, and Lu Yingxing stopped serving him, "Don't bother, Second Young Master. Your Prince of Youcheng and Third Young Master are here. Just let them entertain you!" After saying that, he took Shen Yu into the house.
Lu Feiqi was also stunned by Prince Zhuo's obvious attitude of driving people away. He obviously didn't expect that they would be so disrespectful to him, especially Shen Yu... She was just lucky to marry Prince Zhuo, a puppet who was controlled everywhere.
With his status and the strength of his family, even the emperors of various places would have to give him some respect, not to mention a mere official girl? To put it bluntly, even if the entire Zhuocheng family had wealth, it would probably not be as much as half of their Yun family!
He glared at his elder brother who hadn't said a word from beginning to end. So what if he was the prince of Youcheng? He was just a figurehead.
Humph! Lu Feiqi walked up to him and flicked his sleeves, not caring at all about showing his disagreement.
Shen Yu was speechless when he heard Gu Yu's report, "Why did King You send this idiot here?"
Lu Yingxing looked at his angry wife with amusement, "How does Ayu know that he didn't come here secretly?"
Shen Yu blinked in confusion, "Is the Yun family no longer pretending? Are they going to just sideline King You?"
Brother Lu Feifeng, who just walked in, heard this and said with a cold smile, "Princess, don't pay attention to him. My good second brother always likes to act on his own."
Shen Yu waved at the child beside him, pulled him over and said, "Xiao Feiyao, what do you think of Youcheng?"
Yu Tian was now immune to all kinds of shameful names, and replied helplessly, "Imitating others will only make things worse."
Shen Yu was amused when he heard this. "I agree that making things worse is better, but imitating others? Who are you imitating?"
Yu Tian's face was serious. Seeing that his sister didn't realize the seriousness of the matter, he said with a look of disappointment, "You were in the Su Mansion in Luocheng, the temporary market! And the vendors in front of the 'Parent-Child Square'!"
"Ah!" Shen Yu finally came to her senses. She asked why the combination of stalls on the road was so weird?
At that time, because there were too many people who signed up to work in Zhuocheng, she settled these people in the old house of the Su Mansion. The house was in the west of the city and was full of dignitaries. In order not to affect the residents of the area, she let everyone be self-sufficient and trade with each other, and specially cleared a piece of grass for a temporary market.
As for those craftsmen who learn to make toys in the training class, they are also allowed to set up a temporary stall in front of the "Parent-Child Workshop" to verify their learning results and to face consumers directly and absorb their opinions.
As a result, Lu Feiqi actually copied it directly? Is he crazy?
