Chapter 182 Extra: Zhou Yi x Nangong Muyan (VI)

Nangong Muyan was awakened by hunger.

The carriage was still swaying forward. She lifted the curtain and looked out. The surrounding scenery was no longer the familiar streets of Beijing.

"What time is it?" Nangong Muyan asked Li Jiu while eating cakes.

"Miss, you are awake."

Li Jiu looked back at her and saw that she was eating. He slowly parked the car on the side of the road to avoid choking her.

"It will take another hour and a half to reach Sangye Town. The town is not big and we will be able to see my aunt soon."

Li Jiu knew what Nangong Muyan really cared about. After replying, he took out cakes from the bag on the front of the carriage and started eating.

Nangong Muyan crooked her eyes, a smile appeared on her lips, and after slowly finishing a piece of chestnut cake, she clapped her hands and shook off the crumbs on her hands.

"He just left me like that, Li Jiu, do you think I should beat him up when I see him?"

Nangong Muyan was still very depressed and talked to Li Jiu.

Li Jiu paused while chewing the cake, turned his head and looked at the smiling lady, and suddenly remembered that she was the one who stabbed Chang Jian to death with a hairpin on the day of the palace coup.

"Miss, maybe my aunt has important things to deal with..." Li Jiu felt a little sympathetic towards Zhou Yi and wanted to speak for him.

Nangong Muyan snorted, pinched another piece of chestnut cake and ate it before continuing: "I was thinking about gradual progress, dripping water wears away the stone, but this person refused to drink the toast and only drank the punishment wine."

Li Jiu heard something, but didn't dare to say anything. It's better for him, a guard, to pretend to be deaf and dumb about the matters between the master and the master.

But Nangong Muyan suddenly looked at him, looked him up and down and asked: "Do you have a girl you like?"

"Yes."

"What do you like about her?"

Li Jiu hesitated for a moment, and said a little embarrassedly: "It's not her, it's them."

Nangong Muyan choked for a rare moment. She almost forgot that this was the ancient times when people could have three wives and four concubines.

"Then what kind of girls do you think men generally like?"

Li Jiu understood what this question meant. He thought about his impression of Zhou Yi and said tentatively, "I think people with simple minds should like girls who are good to him."

Nangong Muyan was silent for a while and began to reflect on whether she was good to Zhou Yi.

It should be pretty good, right?

Zhou Yi called her a bastard so many times, but she didn't care. If it were someone else, she would have been stabbed to death eight hundred times.

Li Jiu finished the biscuit in a few bites, thought about it, and pointed out a clear way for Nangong Muyan: "Miss, beauty's tears are heartbreaking."

Nangong Muyan raised her eyebrows. Was he asking her to cry in front of Zhou Yi?

She had pretended to be pitiful and coquettish in front of Zhou Yi, but she had never cried. She could give it a try.

"If it's useful, I'll ask Butler Zhong to give you three months' salary as a reward after we go back."

"Thank you, Miss!"

Li Jiu was overjoyed. He never dreamed that being a guard could earn matchmaker money.

Because of this reward, Li Jiu taught Nangong Muyan the "art of warding off men" in detail along the way. He broke down and told this young lady how his lovers usually controlled him, mixed in his own analysis and opinions, and cited many positive and negative examples, just like an academic report.

Nangong Muyan listened very carefully. If she hadn't had paper and pen in her hand, she would have wanted to take notes.

The carriage arrived at Sangye Town near dusk.

Sangye Town got its name from the large number of mulberry trees planted in the town. It is surrounded by mountains and the air is humid and cool. It is a good place to escape the heat in the hot summer. But it is still early spring now, so it is a bit cold.

The Zhou family's farm is located in a mountain basin. They mainly employ people to grow mulberry and raise silkworms. After the silkworms form cocoons, they weave silk products into silkworm products and sell them to shops in the city. At the same time, there is also a small winery that brews mulberry wine.

This farm has provided jobs for many people in Sangye Town, so it is quite prestigious. Li Jiu asked around and someone immediately showed him the way. After walking for another quarter of an hour, he finally found Zhou Yi with Nangong Muyan.

Zhou Yi was standing beside a lush mulberry tree picking mulberries to eat when Qu Xiaowu ran over and shouted, "Young Master, someone from the city is looking for you."

The farm was managed by Qu Xiaowu's family, and Zhou Yi was considered his young master.

Zhou Yi was a little surprised to hear this. The person from the city must be someone from the capital, but who would come to see him?

An idea suddenly flashed through his mind, and before Zhou Yi had time to think about it, a crisp shout rang out not far away.

"Zhou Yi!"

The heart in his chest jumped suddenly with this shout. Zhou Yi looked up and saw Nangong Muyan running towards him with her skirt in her hand, but she stopped a few steps away and stared at him without blinking, with a faint look of sadness on her face.

Zhou Yi swallowed the mulberry in his mouth and stood there motionless, not knowing what to do.

"Zhou Yi..."

The person in front of him shouted again, with a look of hurt, and then lowered his eyes. The next moment, bean-sized tears fell like beads from a broken string.

Crying?

Crying!

Zhou Yi was shocked and walked quickly to Nangong Muyan's side, anxious and at a loss: "Hey, don't cry, let's talk it over, don't cry, don't cry..."

Li Jiu, who had parked the carriage, appeared behind Nangong Muyan. Looking at Zhou Yi, he shook his head and sighed: "Aunt, the young lady cried all the way and didn't even eat. And she is pregnant. It's really... Alas!"

Zhou Yi's heart ached when he heard this, and he clumsily raised his sleeves to help Nangong Muyan wipe her tears, but the tears flowed like a spring and he couldn't wipe them away at all.

"Stop crying, okay?"

"Nangong Muyan,

please stop crying!" "Please, please, please?"

Zhou Yi was so anxious that he turned around, but Nangong Muyan didn't mean to stop at all. Her eyes and nose were red from crying, but she didn't make any sobs. She bit her lips and cried silently, looking like she had suffered a great injustice.

Qu Xiaowu was stunned by this scene. He thought that his young master was a heartless and ungrateful man who bullied the girl and made her chase him all the way here.

Seeing that his young lady performed very well, Li Jiu knew that he was useless. He hugged Qu Xiaowu beside him and half dragged and half hugged him away: "Brother, let's go, please arrange a place for me to stay."

After the two left, Nangong Muyan cried again, but Zhou Yi just surrounded her and comforted her softly, saying nice things and helping her wipe her tears. She was so angry that she wanted to bite her back teeth to pieces.

This idiot, why didn't he hold her in his arms and comfort her!

There was no other way. If she continued crying, her eyes would be swollen tomorrow. Nangong Muyan raised her head, called "Zhou Yi" hoarsely, and threw herself into his arms.

Zhou Yi was stunned, lowered his head and looked at the person who was sobbing in his arms. After hesitating for a moment, he raised his hands stiffly, holding her waist with one hand and pressing the other hand behind her head, completely encircling her in his arms.

"Don't cry, it's my fault."

Nangong Muyan listened to his sighing whisper and gently curled the corners of her lips.

"Zhou Yi..." Nangong Muyan raised her head from his arms, looked at him with tears in her eyes, opened her red lips slightly, and seemed to want to say something, but frowned and fainted.

"Nangong Muyan! Hey! Hey! What's wrong with you? Wake up! Wake up..."

Zhou Yi's heart was pounding with fear, his eyes were filled with uncontrollable panic. He picked up the person by the waist and strode into the room. On the way, he saw an adopted silkworm girl and shouted at her without hesitation: "Go get a doctor! Go get a doctor!"

The adopted silkworm girl trembled at the shouting, and Nangong Muyan's eyelashes in his arms also trembled.

Did he go too far?

Li Jiu said that in order to make a man fall in love with her, she had to make him feel sorry for her first, but why did she feel that Zhou Yi was more afraid?

Zhou Yi kicked the door open and put the person on the bed. Just when he was about to go out to urge the doctor, the person on the bed woke up slowly, grabbed his sleeve, and weakly shouted "Zhou Yi".

"You're awake!"

Zhou Yi was overjoyed, and his heart was relieved. Seeing Nangong Muyan wanted to get up, he quickly put his hand on her shoulder, and his voice was unspeakably gentle: "Don't move, lie down, I'll find a doctor to check you out."

"I'm fine." Nangong Muyan struggled to get up. What doctor did she need to see? She wanted to get up and crawl into someone's arms. She hadn't been hugged enough just now.

"Be obedient!" Zhou Yi held her down in a tough manner.

Nangong Muyan had no choice but to obey.

After a while, Li Jiu knocked on the door outside: "Auntie, I heard that the young lady fainted, I'll come and check on her."

Zhou Yi rushed to the door in an instant and pulled her in: "Hurry, see what's wrong with her."

Li Jiu responded, "Okay, don't worry, auntie," glanced at Nangong Muyan, and put his fingers on her wrist.

After a moment, Li Jiu took back his hand and said in a pretentious manner: "The young lady is depressed and has liver depression and qi stagnation. She just saw you and her emotions were agitated. Her qi and blood surged up and she fainted."

Zhou Yi was immediately panicked when he heard this. Doesn't this mean that Nangong Muyan was completely sick because of him?

"Then what should we do? Should I prescribe some medicine for her?"

Li Jiu now only hated that he didn't have a beard, so he couldn't touch her twice to pretend to be more mysterious.

"Aunt, the young lady has a heart disease. Heart disease needs to be treated with heart medicine. As long as the young lady is in a good mood and calm, this disease can be cured without medicine."

After Li Jiu finished speaking, he bowed to the two of them and left, leaving the space for Nangong Muyan to perform.

Nangong Muyan sat up from the bed, and saw Zhou Yi standing beside the bed with his head down and a face full of self-blame. She cried out in her heart, Oh no! He really

went too far!

"Zhou Yi, I'm fine, don't worry..."

Nangong Muyan threw back the quilt and got out of bed, and walked to Zhou Yi and said hurriedly.

It's true that she wanted Zhou Yi to feel sorry for her, but she seemed to hate Zhou Yi's depressed look even more. She still liked the silly and angry Zhou Yi.

Zhou Yi raised his eyes and looked at her steadily, sighed after a moment, and reached out to hold her in his arms in Nangong Muyan's surprised eyes.

This was the first time Zhou Yi took the initiative to hug her!

Her heart skipped a beat. Nangong Muyan nestled in Zhou Yi's arms, not knowing where to put her hands and feet. The body temperature of another person came through her clothes, and her heart was beating like a drum.

"It's my fault."

Zhou Yi's muffled voice came from above her head: "In the future, you can hug me if you want, kiss me if you want, it's up to you, I won't hide anymore, don't be... unhappy."

"Bang!"

Nangong Muyan clearly heard the sound of fireworks exploding in her heart.

She slowly raised her hands and pressed on her neck: one, two, three, four... eleven, twelve, thirteen.

Very good, this time the heart rate reached 156.

This man really knows how to seduce her.

As soon as Zhou Yi finished speaking, he saw the man in his arms covering his neck again. After a while, Nangong Muyan raised her head and looked at him, with red eyes from crying.

A pair of hands were wrapped around his neck. Zhou Yi understood what she meant and lowered his head. The next moment, a gentle kiss fell on his lips.

"Zhou Yi, you really make me irresistible..."

Zhou Yi only heard Nangong Muyan murmur like a babble, and then a passionate kiss rolled on his lips, just like yesterday.

The moment Nangong Muyan kissed her, she decided to give up using those schemes and methods on Zhou Yi.

It doesn't matter if Zhou Yi doesn't like her, as long as this person is always by her side, she doesn't care.

Zhou Yi really did as he said, without any resistance, he stood there with his arms around her, letting Nangong Muyan kiss him as much as he wanted. It was not

until a long time later, after Nangong Muyan pulled away, that he whispered, "Are you done kissing? Let's go eat after that."

Seeing Zhou Yi with red ears, Nangong Muyan lay on his shoulder and laughed.

"Zhou Yi, you're just a fool."

But he was a fool who could seduce people.

Zhou Yi didn't understand, he just thought about Li Jiu saying that she cried all the way and hadn't eaten yet, and he was worried that she was hungry.

"Let's eat, don't get too hungry."

Zhou Yi repeated it again, and in case she misunderstood, he added, "We can kiss after dinner." After saying that, his ears turned redder.

"Okay, okay, let's eat, eat."

Nangong Muyan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. How could she fall in love with this man? He was so stupid.

Zhou Yi led people to the place where they were going to have dinner, and introduced this manor to her.

"My great-grandfather was from Sangye Town. He started from scratch in this manor and built the Zhou family business..."

Nangong Muyan nodded repeatedly. It turned out that Zhou Yi was not a second-generation rich man, but a fourth-generation rich man.

"That piece of hill is a mulberry field, mainly planting mulberry trees. Mulberry leaves are used to raise silkworms, and mulberries are used to make wine..."

Nangong Muyan looked in the direction Zhou Yi pointed, and found that it was the place where she had just fainted from crying.

"Mulberries can also be eaten directly. They are quite sweet. I wonder if you have eaten them before?"

Nangong Muyan had of course eaten them before, but she insisted that she had not.

"Then I'll take you to try it later."

"Okay, okay!"

Zhou Yi smiled unconsciously and pointed to the front, where there was a row of houses that looked almost identical: "That's where silkworms are raised. When the silkworms have made cocoons, the silkworm silk will be made into silk fabrics and sold in the larger houses next to it. The big house at the edge is the winery. There is a floor hollowed out under those houses, which is the wine cellar. I'll take you to drink some mulberry wine if I have the chance..."

Zhou Yi spoke slowly and patiently to Nangong Muyan about the operation and production of this estate. Her expression was calm and confident, which was rare for her. It reminded her of modern businessmen who were chatting and laughing with a glass of red wine and making plans.

The mountain wind blew on her face, clearly bringing a chill. Nangong Muyan looked at this somewhat unfamiliar Zhou Yi, but she felt her face getting hot.
