Chapter 55: Asking for a Kiss
When they were about to enter the Southern Wilderness, Xiao Heng briefly told Gu Xiyue what he and Wei Lin were going to do. The most urgent task was to build a defense on the border of Ganzhou to prevent the Hu people from causing further chaos and to pave the way for subsequent plans.
Gu Xiyue understood as soon as she heard it, and didn't say much, but just reminded people to be careful.
"Okay, I'll wait for you at home!"
Gu Xiyue was about to enter the Southern Wilderness. Thinking that she wouldn't be able to see Xiao Heng for several days, she felt a little reluctant. She seized the opportunity and threw herself into his arms. Then she looked up and asked him with a smile, "Will you be seduced by some fairy out there?"
Xiao Heng was obviously stunned for a moment, then he shook his head with a smile, reaching out to hook her chin, "With a seductress like you at home seducing me, I don't have room for another seductress here."
"It's you!" Xiao Heng pulled her closer to him, his voice whispering in her ear, "You need to behave yourself."
Gu Xiyue's attention was all on his voice and lips. His lips were clearly only about one or two centimeters away from hers, but he just refused to kiss her. She was so annoyed that she couldn't let go of the stone in her heart.
Also extremely anxious.
The carriage was a bit bumpy, and the two people in the carriage were squeezed together, with Gu Xiyue almost stacked on top of them. She stared at the thin lips that were already blurry because the distance was too close, and her heart was pounding.
I accidentally brushed against her several times due to the bumps, and my heart was trembling like lightning, but I just couldn't kiss her at all.
She didn't want to be too proactive, so she just watched and licked her lips subconsciously.
Xiao Heng looked at the person in his arms with a half-smile, his heart was about to burst out laughing, but he was still holding back his smile. Gradually, when he saw the person in his arms, his face turned red and he couldn't bear it anymore. He held her waist with both hands and lifted her up gently, so that his eyes were level with hers.
Gu Xiyue was half-lying down like this, and even through the thin clothes, she could feel the scorching heat of his body.
"Hmm..." Their noses touched, and Gu Xiyue nervously grabbed his collar with both hands.
Seeing that he still didn't bite her, Gu Xiyue gently exerted force and tried to lift her body, but unexpectedly, he clamped her waist tightly.
"You..." Gu Xiyue rolled up her eyelids and stared at him. Looking at his half-smiling eyes, she suddenly felt that she was being teased.
Before she could understand, a hand pressed against the back of her head, and the next second, under his pressure, her lips pressed against his hot thin lips.
It was as if a stone had fallen from the ground. She felt lighter and emptied herself, immersed in his superb kissing technique. Although they had only kissed a few times, he had improved so rapidly that she could not stop. If it were not for the fact that she could not move freely in the carriage and the environment did not allow it, she really wanted to give herself to him completely.
When others are kissing, it is the men who lose control.
When it was her turn, the situation was completely reversed.
Every time, it was Xiao Heng who controlled the rhythm and time.
In the end, Gu Xiyue lay in someone's arms and still wanted to cling to him, but Xiao Heng was already coaxing her like a child, stroking her hair and whispering persuasion.
Looking at the person in his arms, who was like a greedy cat, with an unhappy face, as if she had not eaten enough candies, Xiao Heng himself felt angry as well. He didn't even realize how bright the light in his eyes was at this moment. If conditions allowed, he would have wanted to hold her in his arms and not get up.
God knows how much willpower he used just now to let go of her sweet lips.
Yet she was still rushing around like this, setting fires everywhere without even realizing it.
"Xiyue, we're here, get up quickly!"
Xiao Heng's voice was frighteningly hoarse, and the person in her bewitched arms trembled slightly twice. She didn't care and hung herself around his neck, humming and pestering him.
"Wait a moment! Hold me for a little longer. I won't be able to see you for a few days."
The carriage suddenly stopped. Gu Xiyue didn't know what happened, but Xiao Heng heard clearly that it was Wei Lin who brought Meixiang to the side, which was creating an opportunity for the two of them.
Gu Xiyue was still in a daze, not knowing why the car stopped. She was about to get up to see what was happening. Her face was flushed and she was panting, her eyes were blurry. But when she was halfway up, Xiao Heng pulled her and she fell back into her arms.
Xiao Heng's madness this time almost scared her.
His previous kiss was gentle and lingering, but compared to this time, it was just a light touch.
He was really too fierce this time, and kissed her several times to the point of hurting her. Not only was his mouth aggressive, but his hands were also busy. Gu Xiyue simply couldn't resist and was a little scared by him.
At the back, Gu Xiyue pushed him hard, fearing that he would strip her clothes in the carriage.
"Husband!"
Gu Xiyue bit him hard before freeing her mouth.
This time, Xiao Heng didn't need to control her. She used her own hands and feet to climb out of his arms, quickly tidied her clothes and hair, and adjusted her breathing.
Xiao Heng tilted his head back and looked at her quietly. He tried hard to hide the terrifying look in his eyes, and slowly adjusted his breathing to restore himself to normal.
In a moment, Xiao Heng leaned over, grabbed her shoulders, smiled and kissed her on the cheek, then said, "Wait for me to come home!"
Then he got out of the carriage without looking back.
"Wei Lin!"
Gu Xiyue let out a long breath, leaned over and pulled open the door curtain, and saw Xiao Heng and Wei Lin walking towards the back of the carriage. She wanted to shout, but held back.
It was Xiao Heng again. He seemed to feel her gaze and quickly turned around, waved at her, and smiled gently.
Until the two of them disappeared, Gu Xiyue still didn't say take care.
Meixiang ran over from the side and called out softly, "Young Madam."
"Your Highness is gone, don't be sad!"
Meixiang looked around, afraid that her young mistress would cry.
"Young Madam, I'm Tian Hefei. Come and help you drive the carriage."
Tian Hefei led four people over. After Meixiang got into the carriage, he pulled the carriage to start the car, and the other four people stood on both sides of the carriage.
"Thank you!"
Gu Xiyue completely returned to her previous calm state.
It seems that Tian Hefei knew that Xiao Heng was leaving, otherwise he would not have come to pick her up so punctually.
"Hefei, I've been away for the past two days. Is my sister doing well?"
Gu Xiyue called her by her name and was as friendly as an older sister.
Tian Hefei blushed slightly when he thought of what happened before, and said quickly, "Young Madam, I have sent people to watch her these past two days. So far, she hasn't caused any trouble, but..."
The carriage moved forward and entered the east gate. Tian Hefei did not say anything else.
"Young Madam, you'll know for yourself when you get back. Although it's not a big deal, Brother Hu has been in a really difficult situation these past two days."
Gu Xiyue had almost guessed what was going on. She felt a little headache and said, "I want to take a closer look to see what she is going to do!"
It was almost lunch time, and Gu Xiyue asked Tian Hefei to drive the carriage along the road by the sea instead of going inside to disturb everyone's meal.
The car soon stopped in front of his house.
Gu Xiyue got out of the car with the help of Meixiang, and Tian Hefei and four guards helped carry the luggage in the car back to the east room.
After everything was packed up, Tian Hefei unloaded the carriage and led the horses to graze. Gu Xiyue also prepared to go to the dining hall for lunch with Meixiang.
As a result, as soon as she walked out of the yard, she ran into Gu Xiyun. The moment she saw Gu Xiyue, her eyes lit up, and then she ran towards her, crying as she ran.
"Eldest sister, you're finally back. I missed you so much!"
After saying that, he rushed over and was about to get into Gu Xiyue's arms. Gu Xiyue quickly dodged. Poor Meixiang, she was caught in Gu Xiyun's arms and almost knocked Meixiang to the ground. Fortunately, Gu Xiyue was quick-eyed and quick-handed and grabbed Meixiang's arm.
When Gu Xiyun saw that the person he was holding was not his elder sister, he quickly left Meixiang, pushed her away, and glared at her angrily.
Then he said to Gu Xiyue: "Eldest sister, why did you come back just now? Where is your brother-in-law?"
She looked around but didn't see any sign of Xiao Heng, and the disappointment was obvious on her face.
Gu Xiyun was quickly protected by the maids and servants who had caught up with her, and also came Xu Rulan from Aunt Xu's family.
In just two days, the two of them got together, which was really fast.
Xu Rulan was probably a little embarrassed when she saw Gu Xiyue because of her disappearance a few days ago. When she saw Gu Xiyue, she couldn't help but bowed and greeted her.
Even if Xu Rulan was willful in the past few days, she was still Mr. Xu Jun's daughter, and Gu Xiyue was very tolerant of her. Not to mention anything else, even for Mr. Xu Jun's sake, Gu Xiyue would look at Xu Rulan with more affection.
After all, she will be a citizen of the Southern Wilderness in the future.
She is also willing to be nice to her.
Now, seeing someone greeting him, he smiled and said, "Rulan, no need to be so polite. What did you have for lunch today?"
Gu Xiyue smiled warmly and looked at Xu Rulan as if she were his own sister.
Xu Rulan didn't expect Gu Xiyue to be so kind to her. Her face turned slightly red and she said with a smile, "Madam Liu cooked potato stew for lunch."
When talking about stewed potatoes with meat, Xu Rulan's smile deepened a little, and it was obvious that it tasted good.
"Madam Gu, have you had lunch?"
And he still cares about her!
Gu Xiyue smiled with relief, "No, I'm just about to go."
After saying that, as if remembering something, he continued, "Rulan, are you interested in making money?"
"I?"
Xu Rulan pointed at herself in disbelief and asked.
"That's right." Gu Xiyue talked freely, "Before I left this time, I asked your father and two other military officers to go get some cloth so that each of our fellow villagers in the Southern Wilderness could make two sets of clothes. We definitely don't have enough people to make clothes. Do you want to help? I'll pay you one or two taels of silver a month, and there will be rewards if you do a good job."
"One tael of silver?" Xu Rulan raised a finger. When she was in the capital, she didn't even get one tael of silver as a monthly salary. Now, as long as she helps Gu Xiyue, she can get one tael of silver every month!
"Really?" She confirmed again, completely ignoring Gu Xiyun's contempt beside her.
"Of course it's true. This time we went out and found a market for our sea fish. In the future, our Southern Wilderness will become richer and richer, and everyone will make money. In two years, life here will be better than your life in the capital. You can buy anything you want here, provided that everyone works hard and creates wealth with their own hands."
"Okay, I'll go!"
Xu Rulan's eyes lit up. Although she didn't quite believe what Gu Xiyue said, she had seen the scene in the Southern Wilderness in the past two days. Although the men and women went out early and came back late, everyone had a smile on their face, and they felt fulfilled and happy. Moreover, not to mention anything else, the three meals a day here were really no worse than those in the capital. Even her mother said that the food here was delicious.
Her mother and two other aunts also went to work today. Just now while eating, her mother told her that her name had been put on the list and she would receive wages along with everyone else starting from the 25th of this month.
You know, when she was in the capital before, my mother was always picky and no work was to her liking. Now she actually took the initiative to join the team drying salted fish, and said that thing was not dirty at all. She talked and laughed with others, and time passed quickly.
Her younger brother and sister-in-law also went to school today. She was lying outside the school and watching them just now. The two of them had already become friends with their classmates and were having a lot of fun inside.
Now she has something to do.
The important thing is that my younger brother and sister don’t have to pay for school. There is someone to take care of them and they have food to eat. My father runs the shop at the east entrance every day and is responsible for purchasing goods with my two other uncles. He gets one tael and five cents of silver every month. My mother also has an income now, and so do I. Just think about it, the three of them in their family earn three or four taels a month.
More importantly, they don’t have to spend money on three meals a day, and now Mrs. Gu is even going to make clothes for them.
"Rulan, my sister is just a woman, you take what she says seriously!"
In Gu Xiyun's eyes, even if the people of Southern Wilderness obeyed Gu Xiyue's orders, it was only for Xiao Heng's sake.
Although Xiao Heng is a wise king now, he is still a king.
Gu Xiyue followed behind the virtuous king and took herself seriously.
Isn't this just the fox taking advantage of the tiger's power?
Now that Xiao Heng hadn't come back, she was waiting to see Gu Xiyue make a fool of herself.
Seeing that Xiao Heng is not here, let's see if the people in Southern Wilderness still obey her orders.
After she finished speaking, she looked at Gu Xiyue with a smile and was about to speak to persuade her, but she met Gu Xiyue's cold gaze.
"Xiyun, let me ask you, before I left, I asked someone to find you an empty house to settle down in. Why did you occupy Brother Hu's house?"
Gu Xiyue decided not to go for dinner, so she turned around and asked Meixiang to get her some food, and to call Hu Mazi's family over, as well as the two military officers and Tian Hefei and the others.
She just didn't believe that her sister could do anything in this place called Southern Wilderness.
Meixiang quickly took the order and went there. When she got there, Lianxiang, the maidservant beside Xiyun, wanted to kill her.
The two guards standing at the door immediately stepped forward, with cold faces, ready to see who dared to touch Madam Gu.
Gu Xiyun waved Lianxiang back.
Lianxiang raised her chin high and looked at Meixiang with a condescending look.
In the eyes of the young lady, Gu Xiyue is a servant. In the eyes of Lianxiang, Meixiang is a lower level than her. She thinks the young lady is too polite. If she directly exposes what Gu Xiyue did in the capital, she will definitely have no place to stand here.
By then, the virtuous king will not be the lady's.
But the lady refused, saying that she wanted to have some fun with Gu Xiyue.
That's fine too. Anyway, she can just accompany the young lady in whatever she wants to do.
"Sister, it's just a house. You, Brother Hu, can move into another empty house. I just want to live closer to you. What's wrong with that?"
Gu Xiyue felt a little bit jealous when she heard the tone of her voice. This person seemed to speak normally with an innocent look on her face, but the words she said were really full of traps.
Give her back Brother Hu!
Gu Xiyue sneered in his heart.
She has been in business for so many years and has seen all kinds of people.
For a green tea girl like her, it's really beyond her ability to use any tricks in front of her.
Gu Xiyue knew her little thoughts, but he didn't expose her and waited for her to see through them.
Anyway, since she has already come to the Southern Wilderness, it is impossible for her to leave in a short time.
She ignored her words, but Xu Rulan couldn't stand it anymore, so she turned around and said to Gu Xiyun carefully: "Sister Xiyun, if you have anything to say, please talk to Madam Gu. She is a good person."
"Of course I will talk to my elder sister nicely. But you, you wanted to be friends with me yesterday, but now that my elder sister is back, you're on her side. Who do you belong to?"
Xu Rulan blushed and said, "Sister Xiyun, I..."
"She naturally treats you as a friend. She's from the Southern Wilderness, and you're my sister. I'm not here, so they naturally treat you as their own. If it weren't for my sake, do you think you could occupy Brother Hu's house? He could throw you into the sea with just one hand!"
Gu Xiyun looked at Gu Xiyue in astonishment and said in disbelief, "Sister, you're exaggerating. There are plenty of houses here. Brother Hu can just find another one to live in."
"Really? Then do you want to stay in my room while I find another place to live?"
Gu Xiyun's eyes lit up, and then he thought of something. He shook his head and said with a smile: "Eldest sister is teasing me. I need my brother-in-law's consent."
When she spoke of her brother-in-law, her voice was heavy.
At this moment, Brother Hu brought Li Sanniang, the two of them holding their children, and came over, followed by Tian Hefei and two military officers.
Gu Xiyue could clearly see that Li Sanniang's eyes were red. When she came up to her, she glanced at Gu Xiyue. Just as she was about to speak, Gu Xiyue reached out and touched her shoulder, nodded, and said, "I know everything. Don't worry, I will take care of it for you."
After saying that, Chaotian Hefei nodded and said, "Take two people into the house, throw out her things, and clean up at the same time."
Tian Hefei was so excited that he immediately called his two brothers to do it.
When Gu Xiyun saw this, he was shocked.
What's wrong with this eldest sister? She doesn't even give people a chance to figure things out and just throws my things away.
Isn’t this unreasonable!
