Chapter 122: Temptation Again
Rouxin was placed under house arrest in Wei Wujing's garden. Although she lived a life without food and clothing, she did not have the slightest freedom of movement.
Rou Xin felt that Wei Wujing had been very busy lately. She could only see through the window that he went out early, but rested late.
Wei Wujing really can't take care of Rouxin these days. The price of rice in the country's major rice banks is constantly falling.
This year's year has been good, and there are no major famines. All rice shops sell rice at low prices, and Wei Wujing's rice shop business has been hit like never before.
What Wei Wujing didn't know was that Gongzi Qingqian's father, Haihou Ye, had a rice business that accounted for one-third of the country. It's just that Haihou Ye is low-key, and his business is in the name of Gongzi Qingqian's uncle's family.
Gongzi Qingqian returned home on the day Rouxin went to Hangzhou with Wei Wujing.
Marquis Hai heard that Wei Wujing's rice shop was of such a scale, and he might also be related to the Weihong organization of the previous dynasty, so he acquiesced to Gongzi Qingqian to take over the rice shop's business.
Gongzi Qingqian was operating in secret, causing Wei Wujing's rice line to be seriously damaged.
Gongzi Jinyan is naturally not idle. He sent people to Wei Wujing's rice shop to make trouble, and even burned down Wei Wujing's larger rice shop in Luling County.
Wei Wujing was naturally also checking whether someone was secretly manipulating the rice business, but he couldn't find any results at all.
Rouxin only walked in the back garden of the garden when Wei Wujing was out of the house. Cui'er naturally followed her inch by inch.
Wei Wujing only closed a third of his rice business in the end before he breathed a sigh of relief. When he returned to the garden, it was noon.
Rou Xin also happened to go back to her cabin for lunch, and happened to meet Wei Wujing.
"Let's have a meal together!" Wei Wujing looked at Rou Xindao, who was standing on the side of the road with his hands tied. Rou Xin had no choice but to go to the flower hall where Wei Wujing was eating.
"Sit!" Wei Wujing sat down on the main seat and asked Rouxin to sit down.
Rouxin is very polite, and she didn't move when she stood. When there was no one else, even if she wasn't a subordinate, she couldn't sit at the same table with Wei Wujing to eat.
"There aren't so many rules in my place!" Wei Wujing reached for the flask. Rouxin hurriedly poured him wine from the flask.
After the glass was full, Wei Wujing's hand rested on the wine jug. Rouxin was shaken to the seat by his strength.
Cui'er served Rouxin a bowl of jade soup and stuffed chopsticks into her hands.
"Childe!" The matchmaker walked in. She glanced at Rou Xin, who was sitting next to Wei Wujing, in surprise, and then whispered something to Wei Wujing.
Rouxin put down her chopsticks and wanted to avoid it, but was stopped by Wei Wujing's gesture.
When the matchmaker left, she glanced at Rouxin intentionally or unintentionally.
Rouxin ate this meal very cautiously and ate very little. Wei Wujing seemed to be in a good mood and drank a lot of wine.
"You know! Why is Childe Jinqian able to concentrate on what he wants to do? That's because he has people like Touran around him! Wei Wujing picked up the wine glass and found that the wine was gone.
"Childe drank a little too much!" Rouxin pressed Wei Wujing's hand holding the wine jug.
"You're saying I don't drink as much as he does?" Wei Wujing squinted at Rouxin.
"Drinking too much hurts your body!" Rouxin still doesn't let go.
"Huh! Whether it's true or not, you're the first person to care about me! Wei Wujing smiled self-deprecatingly.
"Cui'er! Don't let people leave the seat yet? Rou Xin felt a little sympathetic to Wei Wujing. What kind of environment did he grow up in?
This night, Wei Wujing had a good night's sleep. He woke up in the morning feeling relaxed.
Rouxin went to the hot spring pool in the park early in the morning to take a bath. Then it changed into the light green shirt and white jacket that Cui'er had prepared for her and walked back.
When Wei Wujing passed by the garden after breakfast, he saw a soft heart dressed in fresh clothes from a distance. His eyes lit up, and he felt extraordinarily better. He just admired, not leaned forward.
Rouxin returned to the house, and the food was already on the table. She ate a few briefly, then began to pull her hair up in a bun.
The softness in the mirror is even more feminine. Cui'er praised her vigorously.
Rouxin learned from Cui'er's mouth that Wei Wujing had always eaten alone. Letting her accompany her made Cui'er feel that Rouxin was the person Wei Wujing liked, so she naturally began to stammer Rouxin.
Of course, Rouxin knew Cui'er's thoughts, and she didn't break it, so she went.
The moonlight tonight is beautiful, and Rouxin sits in front of the window and watches the moon in a daze.
"Girl! Childe please! Tsui Le walked in happily.
What's the matter at such a late hour? Although Rouxin had doubts in her heart, she still tidied up her makeup.
Wei Wujing sat in the pavilion in the garden and stroked the qin. The matchmaker stood quietly on the side and waited.
Rouxin heard the sound of the piano from afar, and felt the loneliness and sadness in the sound of the piano.
When the soft feet entered the pavilion, the sound of the piano stopped abruptly. Rouxin was stunned.
"Go get some fruit!" Wei Wujing instructed the matchmaker. The matchmaker glanced at Rouxin, and there was already jealousy in her eyes.
"Sit!" Wei Wujing pointed to the piano stand next to him.
Rouxin sat down and looked at the Jiaowei Jiufengqin in front of her. She couldn't help but pluck the strings and played a song of Red Dust Forget.
The soft sound of the piano is ethereal and yearning. Why didn't Wei Wujing want to live a life far away from the world and indifferent to fame and fortune? But he can't help himself, and he can't reach that kind of quiet life.
As soon as Rouxin played, Wei Wujing applauded. The matchmaker brought the fruit. Wei Wujing asked her to put a plate on the table of Rouxin.
Rouxin had to pick up a berry and take a bite. The berries have a sweet taste, full of juice and mellow flesh.
"This is this year's tribute, how does it taste?" Wei Wujing asked lightly.
"Delicious!" Rouxin replied simply.
"That's good!" A smile appeared on the corner of Wei Wujing's mouth.
Gongzi Qingqian allocated the tribute fruit to Wei Wujing. After all, they are partners on the surface.
Wei Wujing's affair in the garden with Rouxin stroking the qin and tasting fresh fruits naturally couldn't escape Gongzi's shallow eyeliner.
After Gongzi Qingqian received the tip, he already knew Wei Wujing's intentions. For the sake of softness, he had to give up using the tribute to make a fuss, and temporarily let Wei Wujing go.
Gongzi Jinqian went to Hangzhou in person to ask Wei Wujing for a guest. Wei Wujing said that Rouxin was not in his garden at all.
Gongzi Jinyan is going to lead someone to search Wei Wujing's garden. Wei Wujing said calmly: "Is there a search warrant?" ”
"You forcibly took my maid in broad daylight, that's obvious to all!" Gongzi Jin looked at Wei Wujing coldly.
"But she's no longer in the garden! Didn't she go back? A smile appeared on Wei Wujing's face.
Gongzi Jinyan glared at Wei Wujing angrily for a long time, and then led the crowd to leave. Wei Wujing looked at Gongzi Jin's disappearing back, and there was a fierce gaze in his eyes.
Wei Wujing asked the matchmaker to bring Rouxin to his study. The luxury of his study amazed Rouxin.
"Gongzi Jinqian came to me just now to ask for someone! I said you were not in the garden. Wei Wujing said as he observed Rouxin's reaction.
Rouxin bit her lip and lowered her head without saying a word. This seemed normal to Wei Wujing.
"If you're willing to leave, I won't stop you!" Wei Wujing's next words made Rou Xin have to doubt her ears.
"Thank you, Childe!" Rouxin turned around and ran. But as soon as she walked out of the door of the study, she was knocked unconscious by Yan Liang, who had been standing at the door.
"You can't let her go!" Yan Liang handed over the tenderness to the matchmaker and Cui'er and walked into the study.
"I just wanted to try her! I didn't expect ......" Wei Wujing's fingers flicked on several cases.
"You know I'm going to stop her?" Yan Liang looked up at Wei Wujing in surprise.
Wei Wujing looked at the gorgeous roof of his study expressionlessly. After a long time, he slowly spoke: "It may not be a good thing to keep her!" ”
