Chapter 18: Ruan Xuchen's Weakness
I don't know if I knew Ruan Xuchen before, but Gu Jinxi, the son of King Xuan, has always been cold and fatal, and he will never have more contact with women, since he went to the teahouse with Ling'er to drink tea, he also wanted to get close to Ling'er, since this is the case, then it will be regarded as knowing each other in the future.
However, Gu Jinxi is dangerous, why does Ling'er revolve around Gu Jinxi?
Ruan Xuchen waved his hand, "I don't know anyone who knows or not, it's not a person on the same road, I'll go to her after checking the accounts, I have to go somewhere else for a while, I can't waste time here." ”
The shopkeeper is a shrewd and capable woman, dressed in coarse linen clothes, and has a small scar on her forehead, but this does not hinder her enchantment, the boss leaned against the door of the store and looked at the backs of Ruan Cailing and Gu Jinxi, and then looked at Ruan Xuchen's suspicious gaze.
She patted Ruan Xuchen on the shoulder, "Shizi, although Gu Jinxi is dangerous, it is not impossible to have deep friendships, sooner or later, the Dingguo Mansion and the Xuanwang Mansion will still be grasshoppers on the same line, and the people of the previous generation will not go to the thousands of needles, they will all be left to your generation, what do you think, what is the significance of the Dingguo Duke letting you take down this shop?" ”
In fact, Ruan Xuchen himself understands this, after all, when he bought this shop in his own name, the Tongyun pawn in the palace next to it has been open for many years, and it was originally a shop to buy rice, but he bought it at a high price and turned it into the current tavern.
When he came to check the accounts, he was able to meet Gu Jinxi three times out of five, but the friendship between the two was not deep, and he had many concerns about each other, so he naturally didn't talk much, and just gave up after a little chat, because of this matter, his father also lost his temper with him.
The court is turbulent, and the whole body is moved, Dingguo Gong and King Xuan have different political views on the bright side, and they have always been noisy and noisy, but in fact, the two have been writing for many years, and everything is done for the people in the court.
If someone sees that King Xuan and Dingguo are at odds, someone will definitely take advantage of the situation, and then they will be able to catch those who have foreign things in their hearts.
This has always been their ploy, so there will not be many opportunities for them to meet in private if they are not in harmony on the surface.
King Xuan and Duke Dingguo both hoped that their sons could understand their painstaking efforts.
Listening to the boss's words, Ruan Xuchen was silent for a moment and then glanced sideways at the woman, "Ning Cheng, there are some things that can't be said outside, talking about the government and politics in vain, if you are heard, you won't survive today!" ”
Ning Cheng pinched his hair and smiled brightly at Ruan Xuchen, "Want to kill the old lady? Let's see if he has what it takes! ”
"I planted you here to gather intelligence, and you're doing a good job. I also considered what you said just now, but I can't ignore my sister's safety, I can't use Ling'er to get close to Gu Jinxi, if Gu Jinxi finds out my intentions, what if he hurts Ling'er? ”
Ning Cheng rolled his eyes, turned around and returned to the tavern, there were quite a few people sitting around, all of them were people who had come here to eat and drink.
She poured herself a cup of tea and a glass of water for Ruan Xuchen.
She knows that Ruan Xuchen likes to drink good tea, she is an ordinary tavern here, most of the people who come here to drink tea are ordinary tea leaves with jasmine or something, and people who are used to drinking good tea can't drink that kind of tea, it is better to drink water.
The water cup was placed in front of Ruan Xuchen, and the water splashed out slightly, fainting on the table.
"Your sister doesn't need your worries, you haven't seen the changes in the eldest lady, she is cowardly by nature and soft-eared, but this time she fell into the water and fell ill, but she was much stronger, you didn't see it, just now she clearly wanted to go up and talk to Gu Jinxi, but she patiently turned around the neighborhood several times, and when Gu Jinxi saw herself, although it was just a small means, she couldn't ignore it!"
Just now Ruan Xuchen was checking the accounts with his back to the door, while Ning Cheng was staring at Ruan Cailing all the time.
Especially when Gu Jinxi approached, Ruan Cailing almost looked up to the sky and laughed, but she could not help but hold back a gentle smile, which is different from Shen Yunyun's kind of two-faced and three-sworded, this is just a woman's careful thinking about her sweetheart.
She understands it too.
"That's it, you hurry up and settle all the accounts, I'll go to the teahouse to have a look." After speaking, Ruan Xuchen threw away the teacup and got up to leave.
Behind Ning Cheng, a man dressed as a junior came over, and looked at the back of Ruan Xuchen leaving, a little worried, "Boss, are you talking too much?" Shizi also understood it, but when it comes out of your mouth, it is completely different. ”
"Whether he understands it or not, he has his own decision, and it is difficult to succeed with a soft heart, but the Dingguo Mansion, especially this girl, has always been the weakness of the prince, I just hope that the eldest lady can be strong and become the armor of the prince."
In the teahouse, Gu Jinxi asked for a lot of dim sum, and specially asked for a plate of mung bean cake.
Seeing the mung bean cake on the table, Ruan Cailing's face turned green, in order to squat Gu Jinxi in Ruyi Zhai, she had already let so many people in the house eat mung bean cake for several days in a row, and even her snacks after tea and dinner were mung bean cakes.
At this time, I saw the mung bean cake again and felt a little sick to my stomach.
"What's wrong?" Gu Jinxi was very puzzled when she saw Ruan Cailing staring at the mung bean cake.
Poured her a cup of tea and put it in front of her, "Although the mung bean cake here is not as delicious as Ruyi Zhai, it has a different taste, you can try it, if you like it, I will ask the shopkeeper to pack some for you to take home." ”
Gu Jinxi knew that Ruan Cailing didn't come to the market here often, and if it wasn't for the whim who accompanied Ruan Xuchen to count the accounts today, he would definitely not come.
That's why I'm curious about everything.
Everyone's beautiful lady should be out of the door, painting and playing the piano at home, and Ruan Cailing was similar in the past.
Ruan Cailing sighed, pinched the mung bean cake from the plate and ate it, took a bite, and was filled with a sweet and greasy taste, she chewed it casually and swallowed it, and Qingrui next to her hurriedly brought a glass of water, "Miss, don't choke!" ”
In fact, Gu Jinxi had long known that Ruan Cailing was waiting for herself that day.
Every time I go to Ruyizhai, I can buy dim sum, why was it sold out on that day? There was no such coincidence, Gu Jinxi asked Mu Bai to inquire, and the owner of Ruyi Zhai said that Ruan Cailing had wrapped up the mung bean cake in their store for several days.
Even if I like it again, I can't finish it after buying so many servings for several days in a row!
Coupled with the look on her face when she saw herself downstairs, it was not difficult for Gu Jinxi to guess that Ruan Cailing was waiting for her.
But surprisingly, Gu Jinxi didn't think that Ruan Cailing had ill intentions or other intentions.
