Chapter 25: Trouble
The torrential rain rained for five days in a row, and the rain rose sharply, and the patrol team sent many officers and soldiers to inspect the river embankment to prevent hidden dangers.
Gu Rong has been recuperating from her injuries for the past few days, she has looked through all the ancient medical books, but she can't ask for anything, and she is bored by this stack of account books that are higher than herself, the whole person is depressed, and she even eats less.
"Miss." Xiaocui is worried, if the young lady continues like this, she is afraid that she will be bored.
"Huh?" Gu Rong replied casually, and her eyes did not leave the book.
"Miss!" Wang Kui ran over excitedly, put two boxes of things on her table, and said happily, "This is this month's Yulu and various subsidies for pulling hair, as well as invitations from various families, I happened to meet it when I went back to my home, so I brought it over to Miss, and I still have official business, so I will retire first." β
Wang Kui came and went in a hurry.
"......" Gu Rong only felt that her head was big, and she was thinking about whether she was going to recall Xia Ying or Holly to help the housekeeper.
"Miss......" Xiao Cui saw that she had a headache, helped her rub her head, and said distressedly, "Miss should pay attention to her body, don't work too hard." β
Gu Rong closed her eyes and relaxed, and after a while, she heard Xiao Cui sigh, "Miss...... That's not right. She pointed to the numbers on the ledger.
Gu Rong raised her eyes to look at her, and suddenly stuffed the account book into her arms, "My head really hurts today, Xiaocui, you can help me read it." β
As soon as Xiao Cui heard that she had a headache, she immediately put down the account book and continued to rub her head, "Miss must have stayed at home for too long, and it will be sunny after the rain, and Miss's injury is almost better, so it's better to go out and walk more to soothe your mood." β
Gu Rong pretended to agree and nodded, her face was embarrassed, "But this account book ......"
"It's okay, I'll help Miss see it."
"Then it's hard Xiaocui."
Leaving this bad thing, Gu Rong and others just arrived at the door, and bumped into Xie Junwan head-on.
Gu Rong is not happy about her arrival, nor is she unhappy, she knows Xie Junwan, once this person determines something, he is bound to go all the way to the end, and she can't drive her away if she speaks coldly, she has been following her when she is out, and she has been following her when she is out, thanks to the heavy rain in the past few days, otherwise it is estimated that the threshold of the family can be crossed by her.
Maybe even Gu Rong herself doesn't know what kind of complicated feelings she has for Xie Junwan, and while cherishing it, she reminds herself that she is Xie Yi's sister and shouldn't have too much contact.
"Sister Rong is going out?" Xie Junwan wore a pink gauze skirt today, revealing a small jade arm, her face was like a spring breeze in March, and she was tied with an emerald green purse around her waist.
As soon as the rainstorm stopped, it also swept away the heat, blowing a gust of wind, her dress is really a peach blossom, playful and dignified without losing everyone's beauty.
Gu Rong looked at herself dressed in plain white clothes, and then looked at her, and suddenly thought that she was old.
"I've been in a panic for the past few days, and I've gone out for a walk."
Xie Junwan had already grabbed her arm and said with a smile, "Then it's a coincidence that I came, if Sister Rong is bored in the future, just ask me to accompany you." He took her to the market.
Luancheng was originally just an ordinary city in the former Yuan Kingdom, and the capital of Luancheng in the later Northern Yuan Dynasty, the imperial court spent a lot of manpower and wealth, strengthened the city wall, opened the sluice gate and waterway, so that the whole Luancheng appearance was renovated, the merchants poured in, the fireworks were all over the sky, the singing and dancing were leveled, and the prosperity was no less than the original Yancheng.
Xie Junwan dragged her around the major stalls, shops, rouge gouache shops, jade shops, and the servants who accompanied her were full of all kinds of things.
Until Xie Junwan really couldn't go shopping, and sent the two of them back to the house, Qiu Yi didn't want to leave her side, but Gu Rong spoke, she had to do it, and this way, Luancheng was full of forbidden army patrols and guards, if something really happened, the two of them shouted, it was indeed very safe.
Xie Junwan chose a big restaurant, took Gu Rong to the second floor, chose a location near the window, the two drank tea, and waited for the meal to be served, Xie Junwan took off the purse from his waist like a treasure, "Sister, look." β
Isn't this the purse she gave to Princess Xie in Qingshan Temple that night, Gu Rong laughed in her heart, and secretly said that she was very clever.
"I went home that day, and I saw at a glance that this was my sister's method, although I practiced martial arts without wisdom, but I liked female red and other fun things very much, so I was a little more concerned."
Gu Rong looked at her swaying the purse in her hand, and said helplessly, "If you are a man and you are so attentive to me, I really don't know what to do." β
"It's a pity that I was born as a woman, otherwise I would have married my sister, how could I be cheap for my brother." She naturally knows that her brother has a noble status, unparalleled appearance, and excellent martial arts, and is a rare man in the world, but in her heart, she has long identified Gu Rong as her future sister-in-law, and in front of her, she naturally slaps all the sycophants loudly, if she makes a mistake in the future, her brother will punish her, and her sister-in-law will be her piece of heaven.
Gu Rong felt that the tea was hot, put the teacup, and saw the purse that was thrown around by Xie Junwan to play with, lost his hand, and flew out of the window as if throwing something.
Xie Junwan hurriedly went to pick it up, and as soon as she fished it out, she went to the window to look at it with a bang, only to see that the purse was impartial and hit someone.
Worst!
As soon as the man looked up, Xie Junwan saw it, his face became ugly, and the heart that originally wanted to rush down to compensate for it was gone.
"Xie Junwan is you again!" The woman was hit by the purse coldly, although she was annoyed, and thought that if it was an ordinary family, it would be okay, she should be generous, but this person is actually Xie Junwan, it is really not a rival!
She went upstairs with her entourage, and her purse was tightly held in her hand, "You dare to beat me on the street!"
Xie Junwan saw her, and his face was as ugly as he was, "It's just a momentary miss!"
Gu Rong glanced at her with curiosity, curious about the identity of the person, which could make Xie Junwan so disgusted, but she also explained two sentences, although these two sentences didn't sound like much meaning.
"A momentary miss? Hum...... You obviously did it on purpose, you usually are arrogant and domineering, but today you dare to do it blatantly, I want to complain to my sister!"
"Fang Yingxue, you're enough! I'm polite enough to you on weekdays, don't think I'm afraid of you!"
Fang Yingxue?
It seems that it is rumored that the young daughter of the Fang family is rumored to be in the imperial capital, and she is very arrogant on weekdays, the eldest sister is the current queen, and her fiancΓ© is the eldest son of the Shangguan family, and she does have arrogant capital.
"Three points of courtesy? You see that Miss Ben doesn't say a word and smashes me, this is also called courtesy, the Xie family's etiquette is really not good!"
Xie Junwan got up angrily, the two of them usually don't have a good relationship, because her father and mother have told her not to have more branches, she can endure it, "I see that your family is not very good, regardless of the reason!"
Fang Yingxue suddenly exploded, threw her purse on the table, and coincidentally, fell on the hot teacup, the teacup fell down, the tea splashed everywhere, splashing on the back of Gu Rong's hand, she withdrew her hand, and her hand suddenly turned red.
Xie Junwan was startled and hurriedly checked, "Sister Rong!"
Fang Yingxue hadn't noticed Gu Rong, but at this moment, seeing that she was plain clothes and no makeup, she couldn't help but laugh as much as she wanted, "Xie Junwan, look at what kind of people are playing around you, poor and sour, it's not that the ladies of the major families don't want to associate with you, too, as far as you don't know how to be polite, I'm afraid that there are few people to play with you." β
It's really unbearable! Xie Junwan was about to have a seizure, when she saw Fang Yingxue suddenly pick up the intact cup of tea and pour it on her hand, the back of her hand quickly turned red, and she also cried out in pain, "Ah! How dare you splash me with tea! My hand...... Someone's coming...... Take down this woman who doesn't know the height of the sky!"
The guard behind him immediately drew his sword and pointed it directly at Gu Rong.
