Chapter 55: First Base
"Go back! Deliver this letter yourself, don't use him as a proxy."
"yes."
Gu Rongyu saw the people leave, and he used his power to leave. Then he continued his thoughts, thinking of that woman Chang Xixi, thinking of how soft her hand was these past few days, and how it tasted so good! It was a pity that the time hadn't come yet, and he couldn't taste it. It seemed that it was not impossible.
After returning, he drove the two people who were watching the moon on the roof down.
They drove the people to a tree three miles away, staring at the movements around the house, and told them not to come back before dawn. Qingnan and Liang Ming were surprised.
Gu Rongyu had already locked the two of them outside the door and directly rejected them. They didn't dare to ask anything and left in shame.
He walked to the bed, glanced at the person sleeping outside, took out a pill from his waist, and stuffed it into Chang Xixi's mouth. After half a quarter of an hour, he tried to call Chang Xixi's name softly, "Madam? Are you awake?"
After a long while, he heard no movement from the person on the bed, so he lit a candle and drew the curtain. This was what they meant by "red candles and dim curtains".
Looking carefully at the unconscious person with his eyes closed, Gu Rongyu suddenly didn't dare to be presumptuous.
His fingers gently traced the shape of her lips, and he couldn't resist tasting it. He tossed and turned, unable to let go. In the end, Gu Rongyu was afraid that the mark he left behind would be discovered by Chang Xixi the next day, so he dared not be more presumptuous, nor did he dare to take off the last layer of protection.
He just held her hand, blew out the candle, and fell asleep contentedly.
He also forgot when he fell in love with the person next to him. Maybe it was when she said she wanted to marry him, or when she defended him... or maybe it was that bowl of porridge that completely lost him. In any case, he didn't seem to want to let go.
early morning.
Chang Xixi woke up from her sleep and felt a slight headache.
What's going on?
She had also entered the space last night, so she should have felt refreshed, so why did it become like this? She foolishly pinched her neck, which was sore from sleep, because after she woke up, she touched her forehead without realizing it, and didn't realize that Gu Rongyu had been holding her hand.
He got up and went straight to the kitchen. Qingnan just happened to climb over the wall and bumped into Chang Xixi. He was still thinking about finding an excuse, but Chang Xixi spoke first.
"Next time you go out, just knock on the door. Don't keep rummaging around. It's not good if the neighbors see you. They'll think there's a thief in our house again."
"Ah, yes, yes ma'am."
Qingnan's lips turned pale with fright!
Chang Xixi really has great self-control! She was able to recover her composure immediately. If it were any other woman, she would have kicked him out long ago.
As expected, she was the young master's favorite woman. She was different. I felt that I had more respect for Chang Xixi. I thought Chang Xixi would ask about other matters, but she just asked Qingnan to light the fire because she was going to cook.
It was a false alarm!
It was a false alarm!
Qingnan patted his chest and made a gesture to Liang Ming who jumped onto the roof to continue hiding.
Chang Xixi naturally didn't see this little action. Even if she saw it, she wouldn't say anything. She had already discussed it with Gu Rongyu. They didn't ask each other's secrets. They kept some secrets so that they could see each other again in the future. Haha.
Therefore, Qingnan's worries were unnecessary.
Purely redundant.
Gu Rongyu got up, still feeling a little guilty, after all, he was the one who flirted with her. However, Chang Xixi didn't react at all. He found that his lips were a little swollen, and thought he had a sore throat, so he went to the mountain to pick some honeysuckle to make tea.
Looking at the silver flowers in the bowl, she had a new way to make money. For the time being, she had to get the teahouse business back on track.
In three or four months, they will go to Lanzhou to take part in the county examination. In order for Gu Rongyu to have a good chance of passing the exam, Chang Xixi knew that he had to get familiar with the environment first, otherwise there would be a comprehensive emergency response.
She has to arrange things here before she can leave!
Zhu Youcai came last time, and I don’t know if he will come to trouble me again in the future. It’s right not to look for him. If he comes to look for me, it won’t be so easy to let him go back.
…
Zhu Youcai had just gotten out of bed when he received the bad news. Because he molested a decent woman on the street, he was not allowed to take the imperial examination for ten years. No one knew who beat him, but they said he was beaten and thrown into a cesspool. He was so humiliated that his former friends ignored him.
He didn't like elegant places in the first place, so he didn't think it was a big deal. The only thing was that he couldn't take part in the imperial examination, which made his family very angry.
When Mr. Zhu found out, he prepared a generous gift to apologize to Chang Xixi!
Chang Xixi was standing at the door of the teahouse, watching Xiao Si respectfully hold the tray above his head. She curled her lips and smiled, a smile that attracted many young men to peek at her. They all knew how to smile back, but she hadn't even turned around yet... just a slight smile, and she was so charming.
Many playboys swallowed their saliva and looked away.
Everyone knows what happened to Zhu Youcai. He didn't take the imperial examinations for ten years, and that meant the Zhu family was ruined. But they were rich... who doesn't have money? I'm afraid the Zhu family will fall in just a few decades.
"Send the things back and tell your master. Back then, when I came to him for help, he was indifferent. Now that I have some ability, he is trying to please me. This doesn't make sense. Even if Zhu Youcai broke the contract with me himself, we are even. Go back and tell him that I didn't throw Zhu Youcai into the cesspool. Whoever did it should be held responsible."
Chang Xixi turned away, leaving the servant holding a plate of delicious food, not knowing what to do, so he had to ride back on horseback.
When Mr. Huang saw the returned items, he said, "Now we can only blame the thing at home for not living up to its expectations. I'm old now, so I'll pack up and go to the countryside. Just do whatever you want with him here!" Mr. Huang packed up his things and left without saying a word.
When Chang Xixi heard about this, she thought it was boring and decided to focus on her business first.
A few days later.
She was counting her day's income in the study and felt that it was less than the previous few days. She felt unhappy and angry.
I thought, there must be another way.
So, after nightfall, someone invited the old lady in, naturally, through the back door. The old lady wore a cloak that covered her entire figure, not even revealing her face. She took off the cloak after entering the house and asked, "Mr. Chang, do you want to talk to me about something?"
"Yes."
Chang Xixi told the old man about her plan and wanted to hear his opinion!
The old man nodded repeatedly, "It's feasible, it's feasible! However, it's a little less fun. I think we should remove some of the difficulty. Having both easy and difficult levels will make it more appealing to people."
"Old Master is indeed an old master. He thinks much more than a young man like me. I think the same way, but I'm afraid..."
