Chapter 164: Temptation

When the words fell, the room returned to silence, and after a long time, Su Mingxi's voice sounded faintly again: "It's just ...... If you are Ruan Mingxiang, perhaps...... Not necessarily, right? If it were you, I think I would understand the reason for your escape from marriage that day, you have such a shocking idea, you are not allowed to have three wives and four concubines, how can you bear to marry into a mansion, you can't control your own destiny at all, you can only watch your husband and concubines go through a lot of houses? After all, I'm also a worldly man, and I ...... can't avoid vulgarity, not to mention that I am still like this, even if I say that I will be wholeheartedly devoted to you, how can you believe it? Miss Ruan, you ...... Are you the runaway woman? If so, why would fate give us two such a bond? Alas! ”

Ruan Yunsi didn't know that everyone in the Zhongxin Marquis Mansion and Su Mingxi were tossing and turning at this time for the suspected exposure of their other identities, she also thought that after a hurried glance with Ruan Siqi that day, they would have nothing to do with it, but she didn't expect that the brother who was not very careful could see his face clearly, and he was even more suspicious of himself because of a reminder from the little girl. (倩倩Chinese.)

But because of this incident, she was secretly vigilant in her heart, and secretly said that the capital was a place of right and wrong, and it was better to set foot less in the future, otherwise it would be difficult to guarantee that one day, her identity would be revealed. At this time, she didn't know that Su Mingxi was already checking in the most correct direction, and her identity was actually not far from being exposed.

Working day and night, before the Chinese New Year, he also drove out twenty pieces of makeup brocade, and there are two patterns, one is the flower and bird of the hibiscus, and the other is the picture of the flower blooming rich peony, from Ruan Yunsi's modern point of view, it must not look good to wear clothes. But with the matching style of ancient palace clothes, these two fabrics are just right.

In addition, she also drove out five horses of Gu Rong cloth, but this cloth was not driven out by her. Instead, she taught the method, and then it was completed by several Dai Yi women, who were clever women. And originally had experience in this area, Ruan Yunsi saw their eager appearance, and gave a few words of advice, and was really woven by them decently.

With these twenty-five pieces of fabric, Ruan Yunsi finally had a bottom in her heart, so she asked Zhong Nan to send the fabric to Su Liuyun in the Liujin Cloth Village in the capital, and she went to Li's house. One is to look at the progress of the loom, and the other is to study the printing machine with Li Huaifeng, although the kid has a genius in this area, but it is still in the exploration stage, and his own ideas may be able to give the other party a lot of inspiration. It's just that she hasn't had time to talk in detail, but now that it's about to be Layue, and the work in her hands has been completed, she has no thoughts, and she can finally have time to talk about this to the other party.

Let's say Zhong Nan, who drove the carriage to Liujin Buzhuang, he didn't know how many people in the capital had been keeping an eye on all kinds of carriages in the capital these days, but after entering the city, he found that all roads were very crowded. I think it's the lunar month is coming, and there will be a huge annual fair in the capital, so attract people from all over the country to come here.

When he arrived at Liujin Cloth Village, Su Liuyun was naturally in the main store, and when he heard that he had sent the cloth, he hurriedly greeted him with the shopkeeper Yan. The men were ordered to bring in the twenty-five pieces of makeup flowers, brocade and other hundred pieces of floral brocade and plain brocade and moire brocade.

Seeing these twenty high-end makeup brocades, Su Liuyun and the shopkeeper Yan couldn't help but be overjoyed, as well as the five Gu Rong, because he said to Zhong Nan: "Brother Nan went back and told Miss Ruan, she is really the Weaver Girl in the sky, in this way, we have no problem this year, you only let her concentrate on the development of the factory, increasing production is the most important, whether it is funds or raw materials, if there is a gap, although come to us, if you can help solve it, you will do your best."

Zhong Nan smiled: "My sister also said that this makeup brocade should still be satisfactory to the Internal Affairs Office." Just let the shopkeeper and the fifth prince not worry, everything is gradual, you just need to rest assured and wait for her good fabric. ”

While speaking, the shopkeeper had already taken three thousand taels of silver tickets and handed them to Zhong Nan, and said carefully: "It's almost the New Year, those female workers in your family, and the people who came with them to make looms, I'm afraid they will all have to be rewarded, when you go back, remember to go to the money village to exchange the silver for some copper coins, and keep them for the New Year to reward them." After speaking, he took out two strings of money and stuffed them to Zhong Nandao: "These two strings of money are for you to buy fruits to eat back." ”

Zhong Nan smiled: "Thank you for the shopkeeper's reward, it's just that I'm already old......" Without waiting to finish speaking, he heard the shopkeeper smile and said: "Confused, no matter how old you are, you are not a child in my eyes?" What's more, it's not for you to eat, if you buy some snacks and go back, won't your sister be happy? Now fried melon seeds, sugar fried chestnuts, pine nuts these snacks are out, buy more, the family gets together at night, gossip and knock, how comfortable. ”

Zhong Nan couldn't help but smile and said: "Cheng, I'll do what the shopkeeper says, I really didn't expect your old man to really know how to enjoy it." Okay, my sister won't let me delay for a long time, so I'll take my leave. After speaking, he was about to go out, but he heard the shopkeeper say: "It's almost noon, don't be in a hurry for a while, stay after eating and then leave." ”

Zhong Nan was in a hurry to go back, and said with a smile: "No, I'll just buy a few buns and sugar cakes to eat somewhere." In the end, he still declined the kindness of the shopkeeper, and ran down the stairs as soon as he went out.

When I came outside, I was about to get into the carriage and leave, when I suddenly heard a familiar voice say, "Brother Nan, hey! What a coincidence, how did you meet again? Then a person jumped over, and it was the little guy next to Su Mingxi who was sweeping the book.

Zhong Nan was also stunned, and then greeted the other party warmly, and took him to the restaurant to eat, where is Zhong Nan willing, but sweeping the book is not the shopkeeper and Su Liuyun, where does it matter if he is willing or not, he climbed into the carriage and made the decision, in the end drove the carriage to a restaurant, but he dragged Zhong Nan to a small restaurant opposite the big restaurant, and grinned: "Don't look at it is not a big restaurant, but the small dishes of this house taste honestly, today my brother let you see and understand." After speaking, he called Xiao Er over and ordered a few dishes very skillfully.

Zhong Nan really had no choice, so he had to settle down when he came, plus the few dishes he ordered were very suitable for his appetite, he himself was not in a hurry, but he listened to Ruan Yunsi's instructions and was not allowed to delay in the capital, but at this time, he made his own decisions about sweeping books, and he couldn't help but give face, right? So the two talked and speculated, and when the meal was served, they talked while eating, and the atmosphere became even more enthusiastic.

At this time, in the big restaurant, Su Mingxi was drinking with Ruan Siqi with their own hearts.

"Why did the little grandfather remember to call me out of the house for dinner today? But is there anything I need to do for you? In the end, Ruan Siqi couldn't hold his breath, and when he saw that Su Mingxi called him over, he didn't speak, but often looked at the window if something was missing, so he couldn't help but guess.

Su Mingxi withdrew his gaze from the window and said with a smile: "How many times have you said it, don't call me my little grandfather, it's troublesome for people to hear it, just call me Brother Su, if you really feel that you are alive, let's call each of us by name, you call me Mingxi, I call you Siqi, isn't it good?" We were about the same age anyway. ”

Ruan Siqi almost squirted out the wine in his mouth, and looked at Su Mingxi with wide eyes in surprise, and he muttered, "Little ...... Little grandpa, you ...... What did you say? That one...... What's wrong with you today? ”

Su Mingxi smiled: "I said, I'm tired of these red tape, and from now on we only call by name." Don't forget, if it weren't for the accident back then, you would have been my brother-in-law, and we had a good relationship at that time. ”

When he mentioned the incident back then, Ruan Siqi's shoulders suddenly collapsed, and he wilted: "Alas! Don't mention that incident, just for my wayward sister, now the Hou Mansion is simply restless, my father makes my stepmother and aunts tired every day, I regret dying, I shouldn't have said this recklessly that day. ”

Su Mingxi frowned, and said lightly: "Why are your stepmothers and aunts making trouble?" Your sister is the Ruan family after all, right? No matter what wrong things she did that day, the father and daughter had no overnight feud, and now it is logical that the Hou Mansion wants to take her back, what do they have to make trouble? ”

Ruan Siqi smiled bitterly: "Alas! My stepmother and aunts didn't like my sister in the first place, saying that she was very withdrawn, that she was screwed with people in everything, and that she didn't obey discipline. I only said that I was tired of the reputation of my sisters who were waiting for the boudoir, and said that it would be successful to come back, and I had to expel my sister from the door, and from then on I would be a slave and a maid in the Ruan Mansion, and I would be tied up to your Guogong Mansion to bear the guilt, in short...... I can see now that even if my sister is not doing well outside and comes back, she may not have a way to live. Besides, these days I sent people to search for the carriage in the capital, but I didn't find it. ”

Su Mingxi frowned, a faint layer of anger was shrouded in his face, and he sneered: "Brother Ruan, you are the prince of the Hou Mansion, and your uncle is the Hou Lord, is it possible that the huge Hou Mansion is actually controlled by these women?" ”

Ruan Siqi smiled bitterly: "Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, little grandfather, my stepmother, ordinary people see her, and only say that she is noble and kind, how do you know the ruthlessness in her?" In short, because of my sister's affairs, it is indeed difficult for me and my father to be the master now, alas! Forget it, don't talk about this, you just say call me over, what's the matter? ”

"What can I do? It's just that I'm bored in my heart, so I'll ask you to come out and drink two glasses. The anger on Su Mingxi's face instantly subsided, and he smiled again, and persuaded him to drink diligently, Ruan Siqi was also upset in his heart, and he didn't look at his face carefully, otherwise he would have found out that Su Mingxi's demeanor today, Q
