Selling sex
The situation today was better than Bai Miaoke had expected, so after lunch, the group went home.
After arriving home, Bai Miaoke collapsed on the bed and rolled around twice, muttering "I've made a fortune" as she rolled around.
Lu Yu was watching by the bed with a smile, thinking that if it could make her happy, then she would just set up the stall, since no one would know her anyway.
After a good rest, Bai Miaoke sat down at the table and emptied out her purse. Silver coins of all sizes scattered on the table. In front of Lu Yu, Bai Miaoke counted them carefully.
The total income for this morning was fifty-eight taels.
"Oh! This is too profitable."
"You are really my little god of wealth!" Bai Miaoke hugged Lu Yu's neck and gave him a kiss.
"When I return to the capital, I will open a painting shop and hire a few painters. But I don't think they can paint as well as you."
Bai Miaoke was still chattering on and on, not noticing the unusual silence of the man next to her.
Until his low voice interrupted Bai Miaoke's grand plan.
"Let's get married when we return to Beijing." Lu Yu said this in a calm voice, but his breathing slowed down unconsciously as he waited for her answer.
"Huh?" Bai Miaoke was caught off guard by his sudden question.
"I said, let's get married, are you willing?" Lu Yu repeated it again, his tone slower but with a hint of hope.
Bai Miaoke pursed her lips, feeling her heartbeat gradually quickening, but she could not come up with an answer. After all, marriage was a lifelong thing, and it was difficult for her to make a promise.
"Do you have me in your heart?" Lu Yu changed the question, and his tone had changed from the initial hope to a little bit of pleading.
"Yes!" Bai Miaoke was finally able to answer this question. She could confirm that she had some feelings for Lu Yu, but it was difficult to figure out where these feelings came from, so it was difficult for her to sign a lifelong contract with him.
Hearing this, Lu Yu's tense body relaxed slightly. As long as she had him in her heart, it was good. She was still young, so it was normal for her to be afraid of getting married. She could take it slowly.
So he regained his usual calm demeanor and asked with a smile, "When did you start to have me in your heart?
Bai Miaoke recalled for a moment and said slowly, "I can't really say when, probably when I saw your face."
Lu Yu was stunned for a moment and looked at the woman in disbelief. He couldn't believe that she was just looking at her face.
But Bai Miaoke seemed to think he wasn't heartbroken enough, so she added a few more explanations: "I guess I'm in love with your face. I often can't help but stare at you."
Listening to these sincere and innocent words, Lu Yu didn't know whether she should be happy that she said she loved him, or sad that she only loved his face.
He took a deep breath and kept telling himself not to be anxious, but he really wanted to execute this little liar on the spot.
After taking a few deep breaths, looking at Bai Miaoke who was still sitting beside him and staring at him with a smile, he finally said helplessly: "Thank you for your kindness, Lu will continue to work hard."
Compromise just like that? Bai Miaoke's eyes widened in shock. She didn't expect that the Prime Minister could accept this and was so persistent.
Feeling the sweetness surrounding her, Bai Miaoke couldn't help but ask, "When did you become attracted to me?"
Lu Yu seemed to have thought about this question a long time ago, or maybe there was no need to think about it. He simply answered: "Maybe it was the first time you got drunk, or maybe it was when you saved me."
"What do you mean by first time... It was obviously only that one time that I was drunk. I have saved you many times. It's not too much for you to repay me with your body." Bai Miaoke refused to admit her drunken behavior, but started planning to collect interest. She stared at him and smiled with her eyes curved.
"Yes, I'll pledge myself to you." Lu Yu seemed to be particularly easy to talk to today, and he agreed with her in a low voice.
"How is your injury? I suddenly remembered that I haven't checked your wound for several days." Bai Miaoke said with some ill intention.
Lu Yu didn't know why the topic suddenly turned to this, but he still answered readily: "The injury has improved a lot, and the wound has scabbed over."
"Let me take a look." Bai Miaoke considerately got up and closed the door of the master bedroom.
"Okay." Lu Yu responded and began to unbutton his clothes until his muscular upper body was exposed.
Since she likes her skin, it's not impossible for him to make full use of it.
While Lu Yu was self-deprecatingly thinking that there would actually be a day when he would have to sell his body, he turned sideways to adjust a perfect angle to face Bai Miaoke.
As expected, Bai Miaoke's attention was immediately drawn to him. She walked up to him and carefully examined the wound on his chest. There was a thin layer of dark red scab on it, which looked rough and fragile. If she gently peeled it off, tender red flesh would be revealed.
It seemed like a crack on a white jade plate, broken yet beautiful. The girl's slender palm slowly stroked the scar, as if to soothe it, and it also brought waves of itchiness.
It stirred up waves on the calm lake surface, which then quickly spread out into circles of ripples.
Then continue to explore into the depths of the unknown.
Until a pair of big hands grabbed her wrist unable to bear it anymore, Bai Miaoke looked at the protruding blue veins and blood vessels on the back of her hand and curled her lips.
"Have you finished reading it?" A man's low and hoarse voice came from above your head.
"I've finished reading it." Bai Miaoke readily followed the man's lead and moved her hand away, but her eyes never left the man's position.
Lu Yu held Bai Miaoke's hand with one hand, and could only use the remaining hand to pull up his shirt awkwardly. Bai Miaoke kindly took her hand away to help him tie his belt and straighten his collar.
Seeing her focused and serious look made Lu Yu's heart beat fast. She was really attractive without knowing it, and she had her own thoughts.
Lu Yu couldn't help but kiss her.
He closed his eyes and tossed and turned, not noticing the smile that flashed across the girl's eyes the moment he bent down to kiss her.
But soon, Bai Miaoke no longer cared about anything else. Her whole body and mind were dominated by the numbing touch, and she unconsciously grabbed Lu Yu's collar.
After feeling the man's movements which were more skillful and comfortable than the previous two times, Bai Miaoke secretly sighed that this man's learning ability in all aspects was a bit too strong.
She felt the man's hot palms gradually tightening around her waist, not allowing her to retreat even an inch, until her breathing became a little difficult and she felt she was about to drown in this intense kiss.
The man finally slowed down his pace, loosened his arms, and ended the long kiss.
Bai Miaoke leaned into his arms, adjusted her breathing to calm her heartbeat, and placed her hand gently on his chest to feel his equally rapid heartbeat.
Thinking that just kissing is so comfortable, if...
Bai Miaoke was still daydreaming when the man suddenly spoke, breaking the charming atmosphere.
"It's time to contact Rong Qing."
Bai Miaoke: ? I'm thinking about Jiangjiang Nianniao, what are you thinking about? ?
"It's been nearly two weeks. They should have rested and started looking for us. If nothing goes wrong, they will find us here within a week."
The man was still planning the follow-up.
Bai Miaoke asked a key question: "How do you contact each other?"
"I have a Saker Falcon. I hung a chicken on the roof. He can find it."
Bai Miaoke: “So amazing!”
After hearing that his plan was well organized, Bai Miaoke stopped worrying about it and shifted her interest.
"Then draw another crossbow picture for me, and I will go to the mountain to hunt a live chicken tomorrow." Bai Miaoke said excitedly.
The last time she stayed at Erya's house, she was also very interested in the crossbow model that Lu Yu drew for the hunter.
Lu Yu responded with a "OK", picked up his pen and drew a new diagram of an exquisite crossbow structure and gave it to Xiaofeng, asking him to run errands to the carpenter to make one.
Bai Miaoke, who was satisfied in every aspect, changed into her pajamas and lay directly on the bed, ready to take a nap.
Lu Yu sat at the table looking at a newly bought map. The marked map he brought from the capital was left on the boat. He had been busy traveling, recuperating and making money in the past few days, so he finally had time to study the route again.
Having come this far, they still have to go to Gusu after all, and the time mentioned in the letter from Grand Tutor Ma Hongzhe is getting closer and closer, so they need to act as soon as possible.
Thanks to his photographic memory, he was able to redraw the routes that were originally planned on this not-so-detailed map.
Bai Miaoke, who was lying on the bed, was about to fall asleep, and she did not forget to joke with Lu Yu: "The Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion must have a lot of rules. If I marry into your family, can I still sleep whenever I want?"
"Of course you can. There are no rules in the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion." Lu Yu replied with a smile.
How could any other woman discuss her marriage so frankly, especially after having already rejected him? But Bai Miaoke was so special and cute that she could reject him frankly and ask him what would happen if she married him.
"Oh, then what time do you usually get up at home?" Bai Miaoke pulled the quilt over her and only showed her head to talk to him.
"The beginning of the Mao hour." Lu Yu replied in a calm voice.
"Ah? It's still dark so early, what are you doing up?" Bai Miaoke widened her eyes in surprise.
"If there is a court meeting, you have to get up early and attend the meeting. If not, there are many things that need to be dealt with." Lu Yu said patiently.
"It's really not easy to be an official." Bai Miaoke sighed, and then thought of an important question: "How much is your salary as prime minister?"
Lu Yu: "Salary of five thousand taels of silver."
"The imperial court is actually so rich. Five thousand taels a month is not a small amount." Bai Miaoke said.
Lu Yu was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "One year."
"One year?! You get up so early every day to attend court and your life is in danger, and it's only five thousand taels a year?" Bai Miaoke asked in disbelief.
Lu Yu: ...It’s hard to explain it to someone like you, the richest man in Beijing.
"Not only silver, but also rice, and various rewards from His Majesty." Lu Yu added somewhat palely.
"Oh." Bai Miaoke lazily turned over and faced away from him, hiding under the quilt and laughing. She thought to herself, this fool is doing such a thankless thing, why not just admit that it is for the common people to have a better life.
Little did she know that this look of hers seemed to be dissatisfaction in Lu Yu's eyes, which made Lu Yu, who had been very calm, suddenly worry that she was too poor and was being despised.
"Actually, if I accept some bribes..." He began with difficulty and was interrupted halfway through.
“No need!”
"I can support you." Bai Miaoke said firmly.
After saying this, he left the Prime Minister with a shocked look on his face, covered himself with the quilt and fell into a sound sleep.
