Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Smoke Pavilion
This attitude of Mu Han made Ruan Cailing very frustrated, so she could only let go of her shoulders and wave her hand to help Jiang Chen get into the carriage, but Jiang Chen did not drive the carriage out of the gate of King Xuan's mansion, Mu Han could only stand at the door.
Ruan Cailing sat in the carriage, lifted the curtain with one hand and looked at the scattered people outside, and counted the people boredly for a while, then saw Qingrui trotting back, standing under the carriage and shaking the things in her hand at Ruan Cailing, Ruan Cailing's eyes lit up, "Good job!" ”
She dismounted again.
"Miss, what is this for?" Mu Han asked puzzled.
Ruan Cailing also showed a straight face, "Last time, Brother Gu and Mu Bai rescued me halfway, and they haven't come to the door to thank me, so I came here to thank you this time." ”
"But, the prince is not in the house!"
"The old lady princess can be in the house?"
It was the maid beside the old princess who took Ruan Cailing through the corridor, across the courtyard, and finally stopped in a secluded courtyard.
"Miss, this is the residence of the old princess, the old princess has ordered, you can just go in!"
Ruan Cailing thanked her lightly, took the food box from Qingrui's hand, and Ruan Cailing asked Qingrui to buy some jade bean cakes from Ruyizhai, which was the excuse for her to get close to Gu Jinxi last time.
Since I came today, I can't go back without any results.
Gu Jinxi is filial, he takes care of the elders in the family very well, especially his grandmother and the old princess, according to Ruan Cailing's memories of her previous life, the old princess is very easy-going, and she also loves Gu Jinxi, the grandson, if you want to be with Gu Jinxi, it must be right to coax the old princess first.
Although it is only Xuanwangfu, it can be seen that the emperor's preference for Xuanwangfu, and the decorations of the courtyard of the old princess are all symbols of luxury and nobility, and they have the momentum of the palace of the concubine in the palace.
If it weren't for the emperor's instructions, he would naturally not dare to build it like this.
The maid took Ruan Cailing and Qingrui in, and Jiang Chen was a guard who could only wait in the courtyard with Mu Han.
"Courtier Ruan Cailing, meet the old lady and princess." Ruan Cailing put the food box aside and bowed.
The old princess looked at Ruan Cailing's docile appearance, and she liked it very much, and hurriedly asked the maid to help her up, "Yo, you are the daughter of Ruan Qi, the Duke of Dingguo!" Let me see! ”
After Ruan Cailing got up, she smiled and walked forward a few steps, "Old lady princess, you know my father!" ”
The old princess smiled, "Ruan Qi's child is my big one!" Why don't you know it! Later, your father and mother can be regarded as a red line for me to pull together! Otherwise, there would be no you! ”
The old princess took Ruan Cailing's hand and asked her to sit beside her.
The sun was shining through the window, and the old princess's side was warm.
The room is elegant, with Buddhist scriptures on the sandalwood table and sandalwood rising slowly, and the old princess's bracelet pressed against the Buddhist scriptures.
At the age of the old princess, there is only one left to eat and pray for the Buddha, she stays at home all the year round, and all the hustle and bustle of the outside world seems to have nothing to do with her, except for seeing her son, daughter-in-law, and grandson every day, that is, the ancient Buddha of the green light.
Now I am happy to see such a girl.
"Old princess, this is the jade bean cake that Ling'er brought to you, it is Ruyizhai, listen to Brother Gu...... Uh, no, I heard the son of the world say, you love to eat. Ruan Cailing raised her hand, and Qingrui came over with a food box.
The old princess nodded, "Yes, Xiao Xi often goes to buy it for me, you have a heart!" ”
chatted happily with the old princess, but Ruan Cailing kept looking, why hasn't Gu Jinxi come back yet?
The old princess also found that Ruan Cailing was chatting, so she always looked outside the courtyard, and knew the meaning of Ruan Cailing's visit, so she asked, "You said that Xiao Xi saved you, what's the matter?" ”
Ruan Cailing retracted her gaze and told the old princess about what happened that day, the old princess's eyes widened, and she suddenly slapped the table, "I really don't know whether to live or die!" How dare I offend you! Why are these people so rampant? ”
Seeing that the old princess was really angry, Ruan Cailing hurriedly reassured, "It's okay, old princess, isn't this big brother Gu here!" Ling'er is fine, not injured! ”
One big brother Gu, at the beginning, Ruan Cailing still called the prince with etiquette, but later saw that the old princess had not changed at all, so she simply called according to her own will.
"Ruan Qi is too, how can you not follow the guards by your side! How dangerous it is for a girl to go out! ”
"Follow, follow, I'll follow today!"
Seeing that the old princess was entangled in this matter, Ruan Cailing quickly diverted the topic and said something interesting.
Gu Jinxi looked tired, he came in from the gate, and at a glance he saw that the person sitting next to Mu Han was not from the Xuanwang Mansion, Mu Bai had already slipped over, Jiang Chen was also stunned by the person who suddenly appeared in front of him, and then stood up and made a defensive posture.
"Who are you?"
Sitting next to his brother, he has no love on his face, and he probably can't talk to his brother!
Jiang Chen glanced at Mu Bai, and then looked at Mu Han to know that this was Mu Bai's brother, and then looked at Gu Jinxi behind him, and arched his hand, "The prince of the world, his subordinate Jiang Chen, is the guard of the eldest lady of the Dingguo Mansion, the eldest lady came to visit, but when the prince entered the palace, he was talking to the old lady and princess at the moment!" ”
Ruan Cailing is here?
Gu Jinxi's tired expression suddenly changed, this day he was thinking about the better he was with Ruan Cailing but he couldn't meet him, at this moment I heard that Ruan Cailing hadn't left yet, and was talking to his grandmother, Gu Jinxi walked inside.
There is an inexplicable feeling in my heart.
What kind of mentality is missing?
"Old lady princess, our prince is back!" The maid beside the old princess came in to pass the news.
Ruan Cailing's eyes lit up, and after sitting all day, she suddenly straightened her back.
"Really! Where? Ruan Cailing looked anxiously out the door.
When the old princess saw Ruan Cailing's expression, she smiled knowingly.
"Grandchildren visit grandmothers." Gu Jinxi saluted.
The old princess shouted, "Xiao Xi, did you make an appointment with Ling'er today?" How can you leave other girls alone outside the house! No politeness! ”
Gu Jinxi glanced at Ruan Cailing, Ruan Cailing pinched her handkerchief, staring at herself with a pair of bright eyes, smiling.
"The emperor temporarily called his grandson into the palace to discuss." After speaking, he got up and smiled at Ruan Cailing, "Ruan Ruan, I'm sorry." ”
Ruan Cailing hurriedly waved her hand, "It's okay, it's okay, I had a good chat with the old princess today!" ”
Ruan Cailing got up and walked over to Gu Jinxi, stood beside Gu Jinxi and looked up and smiled.
"Been waiting for me for a long time?" Gu Jinxi asked in a low voice.
"yes, but it's okay to wait a little longer, it's good to see you!" Ruan Cailing was still pouting unhappy a second ago, but she had already laughed in the next sentence.
These two people stood together, a talented man and a woman were a natural pair, and the old princess had a plan in her heart.
"Xiao Xi, I'm tired when I come back from the palace, you take a rest first, Ju Xiang will go to pass the meal, Ling'er, you have also waited for Xiao Xi for a day, go to the front hall to talk for a while, and then leave after eating with me in the evening!"
Ruan Cailing bent her knees, "Yes!" ”
"I thought you were leaving when I wasn't there." Gu Jinxi took his hand and walked out of the old princess's room with Ruan Cailing.
Ruan Cailing raised her eyebrows, "Otherwise?" If you let me go, I'll just go! ”
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
"But ah, I thought about it again, I never came to the door to thank you last time when the hero saved the beauty, in order to show my sincerity, it is okay to wait for you to come back!"
Ruan Cailing supported her chin with one hand in the Tingyan Pavilion, and turned the teacups on the table with the other hand boringly, turning them over and back one by one, Gu Jinxi said that she was going to change her clothes, so she went upstairs directly, she was a woman, and she could only wait here.
However, Mu Bai said to Ruan Cailing, "Miss, you can be content." ”
Ruan Cailing glanced at Mu Bai and said angrily, "What are you content with?" ”
"Do you know, in the courtyard of our prince, the Evergreen Building is a place for hospitality, whether it is the minister of the court or a business partner, who comes to find our prince, all of them are waiting in the Evergreen Building, this courtyard smoke pavilion ......"
It is a place that only those who are close to can approach.
Because Gu Jinxi is resting upstairs, and downstairs is the longest place for Gu Jinxi, whether it is reading and writing or enjoying the scenery and painting, it is here.
So, it doesn't mean anything.
Ruan Cailing listened in a daze, and it took a while to react, the implication of Mu Bai's words, Gu Jinxi already regarded himself as a close person?
Or does Gu Jinxi have enough trust in himself?
"Really! Don't lie to me! Ruan Cailing asked Mu Bai with a tiger face.
Mu Bai pointed at Mu Han and said, "If the eldest lady doesn't believe it, you can ask my brother!" I lie, my brother never lies! ”
"Mu Han?" Ruan Cailing turned her head to ask Mu Han.
Mu Han held his sword, leaned against a tree with his hands around his chest, and subconsciously frowned when he saw Mu Bai leading the conversation to himself, but he still nodded when he looked at Ruan Cailing's expectant gaze, "That's true." ”
Over the years, there has only been one person who can enter the Tingyan Pavilion, except for the people from the Xuanwang Mansion family!
Even Ji Jingyan, the lord of Anyang County, never approached.
Gu Jinxi loves Ji Jingyan, the lord of Anyang County, very much, but he is also up to the point, he does everything in a measured manner, and has never let Ji Jingyan get close to his life.
Even if Ji Jingyan pestered him, he never let go and let Ji Jingyan walk in here.
"In that case, I am the first woman to approach here besides Brother Gu's family!" Ruan Cailing slapped the table with her hands excitedly and stood up.
Mu Bai was taken aback and almost slipped off the rock, "Miss, be quiet!" ”
"Afraid of what? There won't be any other women here! I'm afraid that others won't hear it? ”
"Hear what?"
Gu Jinxi walked slowly from the stairs, dressed in white and spotless, with loose black hair draped over his shoulders.
Nguyen Nguyen, go home.
Ruan Cailing seemed to hear that voice.
