Chapter 59 Uninvited Guests
"We all serve the same master, why are you yelling, little brat?"
"Are you also Mr. Chang's man? Why aren't you here? Mr. Chang introduced you... but it's you who's been sneaking around in these places all day. Either on the beams or on the roof!" Renwen pointed the dagger at Liang Ming, and his fair and tender face showed a ferocious expression, without any deterrent effect.
Qingnan just made a plan and went to steal the key at night. When he came back, he found two people on the roof in a tense situation.
"Oh my god! What are you two doing?!"
"Brother Qingnan, who is he?"
Renwen pointed at Liang Ming and asked.
Qingnan slapped his head, wondering how he could have forgotten about this. He said directly, "This is my colleague. One of us is in the open, and the other is in the dark. You don't know him, but it doesn't matter. You will know him in the future. Don't fight with him. With your current skills, you can't beat him at all."
"Really?"
"Really." Qingnan answered and rolled his eyes at Liang Ming who didn't explain at all. He just thought Liang Ming was cute and wanted to tease him. Qingnan saw his thoughts but didn't say anything.
Liang Ming had no choice but to stand up and jump towards the alley where his hand was extended. Before leaving, he left a message, "My last name is Liang."
Renwen was stunned because the figure jumping down was really handsome! Much better than his father who had a sullen face all day long. He was envious.
The two people in the study had a quarrel.
The main question was, "Why are you asking so many questions? You're not going to the competition, and if you go, others will say that I cheated. Don't ask anymore..." The host's voice sounded a little impatient, and he walked out of the room angrily and went straight to the hall.
The person who stayed in the room was not that angry. He just lay on the chaise longue again, reading the book in his hand.
On the front of the book was a letter describing some of the situations in the court at that time. After reading it carefully, he set a time and wrote: "In the winter month, after the imperial examination, we will meet at Fengyue Tower. Please do us the honor of coming." After writing the letter, he rolled it into a round shape and placed it in a thumb-sized bamboo tube. He opened the window and a carrier pigeon landed in front of the window. Gu Rongyu reached out and grabbed the pigeon and put it on the desk. He placed the bamboo tube on the pigeon's feet and then released the pigeon.
The pigeon flew away with the sound of flapping wings. Chang Xixi saw the pigeon flying away from the second-floor window. Her eyes darkened and she closed the window.
Gu Rongyu did not see Chang Xixi, but Liang Ming saw her, but did not tell Gu Rongyu.
Qingnan has always let Gu Rongyu do whatever he wants, but he won't do that!
As expected, Liang Ming has not been serving nearby for so many years, nor has he done anything inappropriate for Gu Rongyu. He is very honest and sober.
late at night.
Outside a room in the backyard of the teahouse, Qingnan stood at the window and knocked three times gently.
Gu Rongyu stood up, opened the door, took two steps, then went back and closed the door. "So soon?"
Qingnan handed the things in his hand to Gu Rongyu, "Everything is here, young master, when are we going back? They are waiting anxiously over there. I have become the target of everyone's criticism. They all say that I was the one who whispered in your ear." Gu Rongyu looked back at the closed door.
His eyes darkened. He originally wanted to pretend to die of illness, but he didn't expect someone like Cheng Yaojin to show up. That was fine.
What a pity!
But I'm moved again.
Can't bear to leave.
Still doing these boring things, Gu Rongyu didn't blame Chang Xixi, it was himself who didn't keep his heart. The more he was with her, the less he wanted to leave. In this hot summer day, no matter how you look at it, it seems a little more charming and lingering. He sighed softly.
"You stay here and guard."
He turned and went to the study, lit a candle, and memorized all the answers.
The second day.
The man who was popular in Quanpanzhicheng came back. He was still wearing black clothes. The jade pendant and the mask on his face were the same. He still didn't talk much. The waiter was serving him attentively. What was rare was that he had almost answered all the questions in the blind box.
Chang Xixi has been knocked down!
Everyone started to urge Chang Xixi to go drink with them. Chang Xixi stood on the second floor and asked, "Sir, can you tell me your name? If you don't like it, you don't have to tell me. Just call me that."
"A flat boat."
"Then please come upstairs, sir. What kind of tea would you like?"
"random."
This man was a little nervous, but not too nervous. He was a very immersed person and never thought about seeing Chang Xixi again. He was also afraid that she would discover his identity, so he was a little uneasy.
The waiter noticed that he was a little nervous and uneasy, so he said to him, "Don't be nervous, sir. The master is a very kind person and won't make things difficult for you."
"Thank you very much."
The words were still brief, without any unnecessary words, and the tone was cold, indifferent, and a little careless.
The waiter was stunned. What was wrong with this guy?
Could it be that after so many years of serving people, his brain has become dull and he doesn't know what the guest needs? He shut his mouth and led the guest to the door of the private room on the second floor. He knocked gently on the door, and when Chang Xixi said, "Come in," the waiter made a gesture to invite him in.
Pianzhou pushed open the door, and Chang Xixi's figure had already appeared in his eyes. She was wearing a white dress and the hairpin on her head was given by him. Her black hair was tied up, and a strand of hair was left at her temples, which added some charm to her.
Being still young, he still had some childishness in his eyes, and there was a hint of surprise in his eyes when he saw him.
"Sir, please take a seat. I've set a time limit of one stick of incense. When you arrive, I'll light this stick. Don't forget the rules."
Chang Xixi lit the incense, walked to the door and opened both the door and the windows. As she did this, she said, "Sir, I'm so sorry. My husband doesn't like me to show up in public. However, this isn't very suitable for a single man and a single woman."
"You like him very much?"
"If you don't like him, why would you marry him?"
Chang Xixi didn't want to be gossiped about, so she could only answer calmly. In fact, she didn't know if she really liked Gu Rongyu. Maybe she was just temporarily bewildered and tempted by his beauty. Or maybe it was just that they fell in love over time. Who knows.
She doesn't have the mind to explore her inner thoughts right now, so let it be for now!
"How did you know the answers to those questions, sir? I don't think you are a man of extraordinary talent. Could it be that you have received guidance from an expert?"
Pianzhou chuckled softly, feeling quite cheerful. He looked at the tea on the table and sniffed its fragrance. He just wanted to laugh. She actually didn't even serve good tea at this time, but used something like this to trick people. She was really frugal.
Chang Xixi seemed to see through his thoughts and had to ask the waiter to bring more tea.
