Chapter 20(1/2)
Bed and sex
In the study, Ruan Mi was kneeling in front of the short table on the long couch and facing several maps in detail.
She spread a map in her hand. The paper was old and yellow, with many small words densely remembered on it. On the table were several sparse or dense picture albums. Unlike the ones in Ruan Mi's hands, it was seen that the paper was new without depreciation marks.
The couch is filled with many picture albums and books.
What Ruan Mi is in her hand is her own manuscript, which she has copied in countless classics in the past few years. The small characters are some notes, the local characteristics she recorded when copying or reading, as well as some of her own questions and ideas.
And the newly copied ones on the table are the new map Liang Heng just sent her yesterday.
Since she left, Ruan Mi has often read local chronicles and travel notes from various places, and likes to collect and organize maps of places she is interested in.
In fact, she also liked it when she was young, but she just watched it for a fresh fun. Unlike now, she almost meticulously recorded and sorted it out.
She had known Gu Yunxuan might have a very special identity, and she thought that after he came back, he might ask her for Ling Ge'er... or he might be entangled with her again.
So she made a lot of preparations in the morning.
Money, the knowledge and self-defense skills, pharmacology and toxicology... It seems that she stays in her door every day and lives in her children. In fact, she wants to break through for several days and learn various things every day.
She also purchased a lot of land and farms elsewhere.
This time she met Liang Heng, and she originally wanted to inquire about overseas places, especially many immigrants from the Great Zhou Dynasty, and also places where Chinese characters are spoken. For example, Luzon, if it is feasible, she can send trustworthy people to buy a manor in a suitable place and operate it for a few years.
But her doing these skills does not mean that she wants to leave secretly.
She didn't do anything wrong.
It’s just that she has three holes, so it’s always good to make more preparations, not to mention that these are what she is interested in and good at.
As for the engagement that Liang Heng mentioned yesterday... she did not reject Liang Heng. She might marry him in the future, but she would not make a hasty decision.
Especially involved in the court.
She has always been keen, especially over the years, she has also spent a lot of effort on understanding the affairs of the court.
Although it was just a few words, she not only heard what Liang Heng wanted to express to her, but also heard his other career aspirations.
She still didn't know Gu Yunxuan's true identity.
Before some things are unclear, if Gu Yunxuan really wants to get involved, she really cannot involve Liang Heng.
Her affairs have to be resolved by themselves.
Ruan Mi slowly looked at the picture album and saw that she had any omissions in the past.
Think about what Liang Heng said yesterday, the situation of industries in various places, and the places that suit you to purchase industries, and think about whether you have any inadequate considerations.
Two "beeps" sounded at the door, and Ruan Mi's hand paused, turned her head and saw that the door was pushed open.
Dongqing came in quietly and reported: "Girl, the second young master Gu, Hou Xining, is here and is waiting in the outer hall."
Gu Yunxuan, is he coming again?
The last time she said that to him, she didn't believe that there would be any changes there...what would come here to do so soon?
Is it a replay of the old tune?
She pondered, "Has he told me about his purpose?"
Dongqing shook her head and said, "But the Marquis brought a lot of things, saying that they were given to the young master."
Ruan Mi said "Oh", turned around and continued to look back at his picture album, and said, "Send someone to pick up Xuan Ling and let them get together."
He said again, "Good tea and good water to greet him, and told him that Xuan Ling was in the next village, and he would probably see him after a stick of incense."
It means that she won't go out to greet him.
Dongqing hesitated for a moment when she thought of Gu Yunxuan's scary black face in the hall, but she was Ruan Mi's eldest maid. If she didn't go to Daoshan, who would go to Daoshan?
So she took the order and went back to the outer hall with a tough bullet.
****
After a cup of tea, Ruan Mi's study door beeped twice again.
When Ruan Mi heard the sound of pushing the door, she didn't look back and said, "Didn't you ask you to send him away? If he asks me, he will say that I'm burning incense and bathing, and I'm going to worship Buddha devoutly, and I won't see any foreign guests this day."
"Do you burn incense and take a bath?"
A sound that seemed to be carrying sounded at the door, saying, "You are lying with the Buddha, you are becoming more and more unscrupulous."
Ruan Mi was so scared that her hands shook and almost jumped up.
She grabbed the map and pushed the short corner and turned around.
Then I saw Gu Yunxuan's tall figure walking in, and there was a look of panic behind him, shocked and anxious. He wanted to stop him, but obviously did not dare to hold his holly.
Gu Yunxuan walked straight to Ruan Mi's long couch, looked down at her with depression and anger, then turned to the picture album on her desk. When she paused, her face turned not only cold, but was so heavy that she wanted to drip out of water, but her eyes seemed to be burning with fire.
Even though Ruan Mi felt that she had divorced him, there was no need to be afraid of him, but now she was covered by shadows like him, and she was still a pressure that hit her face, making people both angry and shocked.
This guy is so rude!
They were clearly separated from each other, and this was her private property and a private study. Why did he break in without any obstacles?
He still had such a questioning look and a lofty attitude as if she owed him so much money?
Why?
Because he has power and power, is he the Marquis of Xining now at the peak of his life?
Ruan Mi retreated, took a secret breath, and looked at Holly, who followed Gu Yunxuan in behind. His face was pale and anxious, and he waved his hand slightly to her and said, "Holly, give the Marquis a cup of tea."
She didn't want anyone to hear her argument with Gu Yunxuan.
Anyway, whether Holly is there or not can stop Gu Yunxuan from saying or doing whatever he wants.
If necessary, medicine is more useful.
Gu Yunxuan ignored what she said.
He bent down and reached out to pick up a picture album on her short table. He could see at a glance that the beautiful, neat and vigorous handwriting on it was not written by Ruan Mi.
So who did it?
Liang Heng?
Also, he glanced at the map on the short table and the picture album on the long couch... He himself was the most skilled in maps and cars. He knew the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and naturally he could see at a glance what the places where the carefully annotated were.
So, what did she do when she sees these things?
Do you want to fly far away?
Follow another man?
In an instant, Gu Yunxuan felt anxious and painful, and his heart fire suddenly became burnt, burning his abdomen.
Anger, burning pain, and uncontrollable fear... No, it's not without it.
It’s just that they are all in the memories he has sealed up and never want to touch them.
Ruan Mi turned around and saw his whole body tense, his eyes were so deep that it was bottomless, and his edges were as angular as a knife. His heart was also tightened, and his body was a little tense... After all, she used to be the person next to her pillow, and she still knew his emotions very well. He was obviously in extreme anger now.
Why?
She quickly glanced at the picture album on the short table and on the long couch, and analyzed it in her heart.
Because of this?
Or is it because these were given by Liang Heng?
Ruan Mi felt a terrified.
This is true every time.
He had just met Liang Heng on his front foot, and he could come over to raise an army to ask for guilt... Did he install someone beside him?
But she was obviously very cautious. The people around her were either formerly trusted and old people from Fuzhou, or carefully selected them later, and had no relationship with the Nanyang Hou Mansion.
But this is not the time to consider this.
She calmed down and calmed herself down quickly. Then she lowered her head and reached out to touch the red coral bracelet on her wrist, and then slowly said: "Mr. Marquis, I really plan to worship Buddha devoutly today. After packing up these things, I will pass. Marquis, what urgent matters do you have? Why do you want to break in like this?"
After saying that, he sighed, looked at the tables and chairs in the corner of the room, and said, "Mr. Marquis, why not sit down and talk first."
Gu Yunxuan held the album in his hand, looked at her pretending, and the joints burst out with force... Of course, he saw that she was full of vigilance and caution.
But he was obviously her pillow.
He looked at Ruan Mi, but the person didn't move.
Ruan Mi's initial surprise had long faded, and her expression was gentle and quiet at this time.
The two of them confronted each other like this, and a faint fragrance slowly came from the air.
But Gu Yunxuan smelled it.
I became more angry because I smelled it.
But perhaps because he was extremely angry, or because he was influenced by Ruan Mi's quiet appearance, he temporarily suppressed the anger and sank.
He sneered and said, "Ha, Soul-Shen Xiang? Ami, don't you know? These things are of no use to me."
To be continued...
