Black White Twin Beauties, Yun Niang (1)

Li Hong Yuan could tell that Jing Wan was clearly extremely speechless towards him, yet still replied in dead earnest. This little appearance of hers really made him helpless. What to do, he really wanted to hug her, kiss her, and pinch her cheeks. His restless fingers twitched, but he still controlled himself and didn't really extend his hand. With this fragrant delicacy set before his eyes, when will he finally be able to openly eat into his mouth? The current state of affairs were a bit complicated. Compared with his plans, there was that bit of deviation. However, it hadn't gotten to the point where it was out of control. But, he wasn't certain when he will be able to succeed either. Being silent without any news wasn't too good, and being too attractive seemingly was also………..whatever, he still liked seeing the radiant Wan Wan even more. As for that pack of wolves, hehe, if there's one, slaughter one; if there's two, slaughter a pair.

“Wan Wan———”

What's with this anxious and worried voice, just like as if he would have her granddaughter eaten, though he actually rather wanted to….

Jing Wan turned her head, seeing her grandmother coming down from the sedan chair, and next to her, coming down from another sedan chair, was actually her grandfather. Wasn't it said that there was urgent governmental affairs? This was having no need for grandfather? But for better or worse he was still a first-rank Head Minister, listening to the side should at least be doable.

Luo Old Madam quickly went forward, pulling Jing Wan and subconsciously pulled her behind her. Afterwards, she looked to Li Hong Yuan's darkened expression, and finally realized that her reactions was a bit overboard. However, since she'd already done it, “This subject greets w.a.n.gye.”

“You're excused.” Li Hong Yuan's body felt as if it was overflowing with gloominess again, his eyes pitch-black, “Even if this prince really is a ravenous wolf or cruel beast, at the very least, this prince still has a sense of propriety. Luo Old Madam shouldn't need to guard against this prince to this degree.”

“What kind of reputation w.a.n.gye has, you yourself are also aware, this subject isn't guarding against you, but rather those rumors and slanders.”

Li Hong Yuan's face was unbearably dark, but this person, one, was an elder, and two, was the grandmother that Wan Wan extremely cares about, he really couldn't do anything to her. Rather, he somewhat poutingly glanced at the leisurely strolling over Luo Pei Shan, as he(LHY) brushed his sleeves and left.

Jing Wan stood behind her grandmother, actually finding the situation quite humorous. Setting aside her grandmother unyieldingly s.h.i.+elding her, it was mainly still because Jin Qinw.a.n.g's temper wasn't as terrible as rumored. At least he still respected the elderly.

Seeing Li Hong Yuan get on the Jin Qinw.a.n.g horse carriage, Luo Old Madam slightly relaxed. When facing Jin Qinw.a.n.g, although she was firm on the surface, but inside she was actually quite nervous. Rather, not because she was afraid of him doing anything to her, but mainly still worrying that if she really were to provoke his anger, he might really do something to Wan Wan. That would really be asking for her life.

“Madam rather doesn't need to be like this.” Luo Pei Shan walked closer. People like him were actually the most clear, if Jin Qinw.a.n.g's terrible reputation on the outside was twelve points, then in reality, at most, only seven to eight points were true.

Luo Old Madam discontentedly swept him a glance, “Was this wife worrying about this? One was worried about being seen by others.”

Alright, alright, once the matter concerned third girl, in front of his old wife, even he needed to move to the side. Luo Pei Shan indeed also felt somewhat in the wrong, thus he stroked his beard and looked towards Jing Wan, “What was Jin Qinw.a.n.g looking for you for?”

“For the matter of the secret skincare recipe.”

Luo Pei Shan nodded. At the time he was also present, so naturally there was no need to ask more. “He let you give him the recipe?”

“No, he probably feels it's troublesome. Jin Qinw.a.n.g let this granddaughter directly open a store, so he can buy the finished product.”

“En, this way is good too. If even Jin Qinw.a.n.g spends money to buy it, then others won't dare demand for it, and you won't need to suffer any losses. However, there's one bit that's also not good. If by chance anything happens in the middle, the responsibility you will have to bear will be too big. The inner palace is a messy place to begin with and has never once calmed down before.”

“Opening a store isn't a simple matter either. In the past, we've never done something like this before. The most troublesome matter is that the qualified workers for preparing the rouge and powder are difficult to find. Moreover, Wan Wan mostly uses plants and flowers, so even need to plant in ma.s.ses. Afraid, this isn't doable anytime soon.” Luo Old Madam added.

“Grandfather, grandmother, no need to worry. Actually, I've already thought of everything. We can just have all the troublesome responsibilities entirely pa.s.sed on.”

Luo Pei Shan's eyes lit up, while Luo Old Madam also more or less understood Jing Wan's meaning. “Wan Wan, you're saying…….”

“When I return, I'll make some finished products, then have the recipe written down, afterwards, just need to take a trip to the Rouge Pavilion.”

(T/N: If anyone still remembers Rouge Pavilion was subtly mentioned back in chapter 13)

What kind of place was the Rouge Pavilion? Even Luo Pei Shan, this kind of old man, knew about it. Just hearing the name one would know, it's a place that specializes in selling rouge and powder. The big and small cities in the entire Qi Yuan dynasty all had their stores. In fact, some of the other countries in the surrounding all had shadows of the Rouge Pavilion. The consorts and concubines of the imperial harem, aside from some of their personal secret recipes, all the other rouge and powder they used, for the most part, all originated from Rouge Pavilion. It can truly be said to be renowned throughout the world.

With Jing Wan collaborating with the Rouge Pavilion, it can be said, even if something happens, she completely won't have any responsibility. As for the workers, experts, and flower fields, all didn't need for her to worry over. The only thing she needed to do was just hand over the recipe, and afterwards, receive the profit share.

“Our family's third girl is just intelligent, thinking of a way to solve this problem this quickly.”

Jing Wan laughed, “Grandfather overpraises. In actuality, I'd long had this intention, just never had the spare time. At present, this opportunity is rather the perfect time.”

“You're truly blunt, aren't you afraid of them not agreeing?”

Jing Wan hooked her lips and very meaningfully gave Luo Old Madam a glance, “Does grandfather think they will refuse?”

Luo Old Madam directly reached out and patted her, “This girl, getting more and more outrageous, even daring to make fun of your grandfather and grandmother?”

Jing Wan immediately dodged nimbly and jumped behind Luo Pei Shan, extending her head out and smilingly opening her mouth, “Grandfather, could it be that I said something wrong?”

Luo Pei Shan looked to Luo Old Madam's face, never mind seeing less wrinkles than those of the same age, she didn't have those aging spots either. Stroking his beard, he smilingly spoke, “Third girl is very correct.”

Jing Wan smiled even more happily, while Luo Old Madam couldn't help but somewhat blush, spitting out at Luo Pei Shan, “Old but don't know shame.”

Luo Pei Shan also couldn't help but laugh out loud. His old wife's body was still considered pretty good. His sons and grandsons, although there were those few that were disappointing, but overall weren't too bad either. Moreover, having third girl, such a lovable dear granddaughter, he always felt quite refres.h.i.+ng lately and in high spirits. En, to be able to have days like today, what else can one ask for.

“Third girl, come, ride together with grandfather today.”

“Grandfather doesn't need to go to the Ministry of Rites and can directly return home?”

“En, can directly go back.”

Since that's the case, Jing Wan didn't say anymore. As for why he didn't partic.i.p.ate in the urgent governmental affair, that's not something she can ask. Thus, she directly coiled around Luo Pei Shan's arm, just like how she normally supports Luo Old Madam, “Grandmother, then I'll be going with grandfather?”

Luo Old Madam looked to Luo Pei Shan's ‘very much enjoying it' look, and helplessly laughed as she nodded her head.

Luo Old Madam got on the Luo family's other horse carriage. However, Gong mama didn't follow on after her, but instead chose to follow Luo Pei Shan's horse carriage. The accident that time at White Dragon Temple made Gong mama no longer dare to have the slightest negligence. Even if this is inside the city, when accidents come, one simply just can't guard against it.

That servant boy of Luo Pei Shan's didn't have the guts to just watch a middle aged mama follow the horse carriage on foot, while he himself sat by the carriage driver's side. Thus he very perceptively yielded out his seat, choosing to walk on foot himself.

Gong mama glanced at that weak looking little figure of his. Walking back from here, you sure you won't be exhausted until out of breath? However, she didn't refuse. That servant boy was unable to make sense of her look, just feeling that there was something wrong with that mama's gaze.

“This mama of yours is rather responsible and diligent, devoted and loyal.” Luo Pei Shan said with a nod from inside the horse carriage.

“Isn't that still because someone from the capital found her for this granddaughter?”

“En, your eldest aunt found her, she rather can be considered to have put in quite the effort.” Luo Pei Shan faintly said. When it comes to his daughter-in-laws, the times he's interacted with them were naturally very little. To be able to not get his daughter-in-laws mixed up when he met them was already considered not bad.

“Eldest aunt naturally is good.”
