Chapter 43: A Visit
yes, how did you forget about it? Ruan Geng's eyes flashed and he straightened his waist, except for himself, in the eyes of everyone, Ruan Mianmian was just a three-year-old female doll, and she was smarter than others.
"Mianmian, what do you mean?"
"The soldiers will cover the water and the earth, and they can't hide it, so I'll show it." Ruan Mianmian winked mischievously and smiled.
"I think it's better for you to be more restrained, being too conspicuous will always cause trouble." Ruan Geng warned on his lips, but his face was full of smiles.
"In that case, Ruan Yi, arrange a proper person to protect Miss and listen to her."
"Yes. Nguyen Jiu. As soon as Ruan summoned him, a black figure appeared in the room again.
Ruan Mianmian was very surprised: "Hey, it's a sister." β
"Old Marquis, Ruan Jiu is a woman, and it is most suitable for her to follow Miss."
"Yes, that's a good fit." Ruan Geng's tone was serious, "Ruan Jiu, from now on, you are Miss's personal maid." Remember, your job is to protect Mademoiselle, and her safety depends on you. β
"Old Marquis, rest assured, even if Ruan Jiu dies, he must complete the task and ensure the safety of the young lady."
"What doesn't die, it's not that serious." Ruan Mianmian waved her little hand beside her.
"Subordinate Ruan Jiu, I've seen Miss."
Ruan Mianmian looked at it curiously, Ruan was ninety-five or sixteen years old, with a delicate appearance, and a light smile on her lips, looking soft and weak, but who would have thought that such an ordinary little woman would be a master.
"What was your original name?"
"The subordinate is called Ruan Jiu."
"Well, if you're with me, it's not the right name for you." Ruan Mianmian thought for a while, "There was originally a sister Shuang'er by my side, so I will call you Sister Jiu'er." β
"The subordinates can't afford Miss's 'sister', the slave maid Jiu'er has seen Miss." Ruan Jiu's role changes quite quickly.
Ruan Mianmian smiled and stretched out his hand to help Ruan Jiu: "No need to be polite, I don't have such big rules, you will know if you have more contact in the future." β
"Thank you, Miss." Jiu'er said respectfully.
"Grandfather, it's not good for me to go back directly with Sister Jiu'er." Ruan Mianmian's implication was that Ruan Geng wanted Ruan Geng to arrange a suitable identity.
"You go back first, and later, your grandmother will give you a first-class personal maid."
"Okay, let's get down to business." Ruan Mianmian suddenly became serious, "Grandfather, how long is there left before the emperor gives the ministry a deadline to complete the Rubik's Cube?" β
"The deadline is in three days."
"Okay." Ruan Mianmian's eyes rolled around a few times, and her face was full of calculations, "Grandfather, is he going to wait passively or take the initiative to attack?" β
Ruan Geng found that Ruan Mianmian was like a little fox: "Don't sell it, let's talk about how about waiting passively?" What about being proactive? β
Ruan Mianmian squeezed to his grandfather's side and whispered in his ear, Ruan Geng couldn't help nodding.
"Grandfather can just do what he does?"
"Really?"
"Rest assured, it's imminent, they will be as I expected."
"Okay, that's it, you go back and get ready first."
"You don't need to prepare, grandfather has to prepare in advance." Ruan Mianmian turned around and took two books on the bookshelf before leaving.
Ruan Yi and Ruan Jiu looked at each other, what kind of dumb riddle were the grandparents and grandsons playing?
"Ruan Jiu doesn't have to mix it up, go back and clean it up, and go to the smoke cage courtyard later." Ruan Geng commanded.
"Yes." Ruan Jiu said yes and withdrew.
After Ruan Geng lowered his voice and explained a few words to Ruan, he quickly disappeared without a trace.
Ruan Geng found that he was really old, he was afraid of wolves and tigers, and he lost the energy he had when he was young.
An hour later, Mrs. Ruan rewarded Ruan Mianmian with a first-class personal maid who came to the smoke cage courtyard, and from then on, there was not only a frost but also a nine children by her side.
With the help of people with intentions, the person who solved the Western Rubik's Cube was Qin Ruolan, and the news spread to everyone on the streets.
Rumors are flying all over the sky, some people praise Qin Ruolan for being smart, some people don't believe it at all, and more people are skeptical.
After the Jingwangfu County Poetry Meeting, new rumors came out, but they only spread in a small area, saying that the three-year-old Ruan Mianmian solved the Rubik's Cube too unbelievable, and the rumors were quickly suppressed.
On the night of returning home from the poetry meeting, Chen Wanyu moved back to Hengwu Courtyard. This time, she tossed and moved out and back by herself, which was a loss of face.
Seeing Chen Wanyu put down her figure, Ruan Chan pretended that nothing had happened and stopped caring about it.
On this day, just Mu Mu, Ruan Chan was taking a walk in the garden. He looked up into the distance, and from a distance, he saw the old housekeeper of the Hou Mansion rushing towards him.
The housekeeper came to Ruan Chan: "Master, there is a visitor." β
"Who is this early in the morning?" Ruan Chan felt strange.
The old housekeeper reported: "The Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Officials, and the Ministry of Criminal Affairs have come to visit. β
"What's going on? Several adults actually passed through the house at the same time, you go and report to the old marquis. β
"Sir, several adults have indicated that they are here to visit you." The old butler explained.
Speaking of which, except for Sun Ying, the secretary of the ministry, and Ruan Chanping, who have always had dealings, the other three official positions are above him, and they have no friendship, what kind of wind is blowing today?
Ruan Chan was nervous, but at this moment, he didn't think about it flawlessly: "I'll come right away, you will greet a few adults, and immediately send someone to Fu'an Hall to tell the old marquis." β
"Yes, the old slave understands."
Ruan Chan turned around and rushed towards Hengwu Courtyard, while the old butler turned around to receive the distinguished guests.
"What's wrong? What are you doing in such a hurry? β
Chen Wanyu returned to Hengwu Courtyard for two or three days, but she didn't talk to Ruan Chan, and when she saw him enter the door, she couldn't help but be curious.
"Four Shangshu adults are here, help me change my clothes and welcome guests."
After being stunned for a moment, Chen Wanyu came back to her senses: "Are they a few adults from the Ministry of Labor, Households, Officials, and Criminal Departments?" β
"That's right, it's them." Ruan Chan, who was changing his clothes, suddenly stopped, and he looked up at Chen Wanyu, "How do you know?" β
"I received a letter from the janitor." Chen Wanyu got up to help Ruan Chan button her buttons, and lowered her head to hide the snickering joy on her face.
Chen Wanyu thought secretly: It came so fast, as soon as the news was spread, people came to the door. Thankfully, I was one step ahead, and it was just right, and the timing was just right.
Ruan Chan walked on the front foot, and Chen Wanyu followed to the Hou Mansion Hall on the back foot.
Ruan Chan greeted the guests with a smile and greeted a few Shangshu adults, and the fact that a few of them came to the door together really made him a little panicked.
After going around and talking about the faΓ§ade, the official Shangshu had a friendship with Ruan Chan, and he opened the conversation box first.
It turned out that several Shangshu came to the door today, just for the Rubik's Cube.
"Adults, I'm really sorry, Ruan Chan is more than enough but not enough."
"Ruan Shilang, we know that you can't do anything, so we are here to find Miss Ruolan."
