Chapter 225: Drifting Away
Seeing that Zhou Yuning's whole person exuded a deep displeasure, Ruan Qi also knew that he had gone too far.
forcibly suppressed the unhappiness in his heart, Ruan Qi tried his best to calm his tone: "She doesn't want to see me, do I still embarrass myself in front of her?" ”
"As soon as you left for five years, Mianmida was born with a lot of grievances, and it is normal for her to have a knot in her heart for you. Find an opportunity to talk to her that she has always been smart and that a little communication will definitely ease your relationship. ”
"Madame is right." Ruan Qi didn't want to tell Zhou Yunning about Ruan Mianmian anymore, "I'm going to the study." ”
Turning around and taking a few steps forward, Ruan Qi turned back again: "By the way, my friend asked me to go to the teahouse to catch up on the old days, and I want to bring some silver." ”
I just gave three hundred taels a few hundred taels ago, how long did it take to ask for silver? The thought swirled in Zhou Yuning's mind, but it did not reveal the slightest on the surface.
"Shuang'er, go and get three hundred taels of silver for the third master."
"Yes, the slave and maid will go immediately, and the third master will wait a minute."
When Shuang'er turned around and disappeared at the end of the corridor, seeing that there were no other people around, Zhou Yuning hesitated for a moment before speaking.
"San Lang, this year's share of the Smoke Cage Courtyard is for you today."
The joy of getting the silver taels dissipated because of Zhou Yuning's words, and Ruan Qi said angrily: "I can't do anything about it, my father told me to do something." ”
Hearing this, Zhou Yuning showed a surprised look, she didn't expect Ruan Qi to do things for the old marquis.
But if that's the case, then Ruan Qi's expenses are so big.
Zhou Yuning's brain is spinning much faster now than in the past, she lowered her voice and said, "San Lang, there isn't much silver in the Smoke Cage Courtyard, but if you really need it, I still have the five hundred taels of silver that my father gave me from my father ago." ”
This is the father-in-law's daughter's private, and Zhou Yuning is willing to take out all his private money to Ruan Qi.
Ruan Qi finally smiled: "You can keep it." ”
"Well, I'll listen to you." Zhou Yuning pushed the boat down the river, in fact, she just talked casually.
Zhou Yuning did it on purpose, she first told Ruan Qi that he had taken all the silver from the Yancage Courtyard this year, and then she would take it for her own private money.
However, she was still willing to support Ruan Qi, and the most important thing was to tell him that the bottom line was the five hundred taels of silver given by her father, and there would be no more.
Soon, Shuang'er brought the silver ticket, and Ruan Qi took it and walked outside.
"Third lady, the third master has already taken the silver a few times." Shuang'er looked at Ruan Qi's back and said euphemistically.
"I know what I know." Zhou Yuning turned around slowly.
Shuang'er bowed slightly and whispered, "The slave is too talkative." ”
"You and I are not master and servant, we are family members and sisters." Zhou Yunning smiled at Shuang'er, "I know what you're worried about, don't worry, I'm not the same person I used to be." ”
"That's good." Frost smiled and nodded violently.
Ruan Mianmian hurriedly walked towards Fu'an Hall, but stopped halfway down the road, she originally wanted to go to her grandfather to ask what happened, but when she calmed down, she felt that she was too impulsive.
"County Lord?" Jiu'er watched Ruan Mianmian hesitate at the fork in the road.
"Go for a walk in the garden." Ruan Mianmian quickly changed her mind.
The master and servant walked slowly in the garden of the Hou Mansion, and the subordinates along the way saluted when they saw it.
Ruan Mianmian pointed to the pavilion in front of him: "Let's go inside and rest." ”
The master and servant walked into the pavilion and sat down, because of the New Year, there were many people coming and going in the garden, and the people were busy.
Sitting in the pavilion, Ruan Mianmian looked around, and suddenly her gaze fell into the distance.
Jiu'er noticed and looked at Ruan Mianmian's line of sight: "The third master is going to Lanyuan." ”
"Follow that trail to Orchid Garden."
"County Lord, the third lady is in the house today."
Ruan Mianmian was not worried at all: "It's okay, he can go if he wants." ”
"The third master can go if he wants, so why does the county lord want to go but don't?" has been following Ruan Mianmian for a long time, and Jiu'er has also figured out her thoughts.
"There's something I want to ask my grandfather, but if I think it's so important, if he didn't tell me before, I wouldn't know." Ruan Mianmian calmed down at the moment.
Jiu'er nodded slightly: "The county lord is acting more and more steadily. ”
While speaking, Ruan Mianmian couldn't help but raise her eyes again, and sure enough, when she saw Ruan Qi entering the Orchid Garden, she just sneered at the corners of her mouth and didn't take it to heart.
Besides, Gu Ling'an of Lanyuan heard the report from his subordinates that Ruan Qi was coming, and he greeted him in a panic.
"The third brother is here."
Seeing Gu Ling'an's face full of joy, Ruan Qi couldn't help but show that he was in a good mood.
"It's cold outside, your body is not well, why did you run out?"
"If you don't hear the third brother coming, people are in a hurry."
Gu Ling'an stepped forward and held Ruan Qi's arm affectionately, and the subordinates who were waiting in Lan Yuan lowered their heads one after another, but they had various thoughts in their minds.
You must know that men and women are not at the same table at the age of seven, not to mention that they are so-called righteous brothers and sisters, even if they are brothers and sisters, men and women will not have such a Meng Lang move.
Ruan Qi, who has always paid attention to etiquette and rules, also felt that Gu Lingan's actions were a little inappropriate, but looking back, he felt that he and she were brother and sister, upright and upright, and the so-called body was not afraid of shadows.
After hesitating, Ruan Qi was dragged into the house by Gu Ling'an, and as soon as he sat down, Fang'er served hot tea with interest and retreated with all the maids.
After taking a few sips with a tea bowl in his hand, Ruan Qi looked up and Gu Lingan stared at himself across the elbow of the tea table, and he was stunned for a moment.
At this moment, Gu Ling'an's eyes were full of Ruan Qi, although he was a father, he still looked like a handsome son.
Ruan Qiren is handsome, excellent in quality, and elegant in manners, since he met him, other men are not worth mentioning in Gu Ling'an's eyes.
Speaking of which, Ruan Qi was eight or nine years older than Gu Ling'an, although she was only ten years old when she first met, but at that time she liked him.
Later, as she grew older, the girl became pregnant, and her mind was all on him, thinking that it would be good for the two of them to live like this for a lifetime.
Unexpectedly, Ruan Qi recovered his memory, he had a noble background, but at the same time, he also had a wife and daughter. Gu Lingan has also calmed down after these days of entanglement, she can't let go of him, since she can't let go, she has to fight, even if it's a concubine, as long as she stays by his side.
Ruan Qi gently put down the tea bowl in his hand: "Ling An, what do you want?" Think of God. ”
"It's nothing, I'm just thinking about the third brother." Gu Ling'an, who came back to his senses, lowered his head shyly.
In fact, Ruan Qi is not stupid, he actually knows more or less in his heart that Gu Lingan has strange feelings for him, but he just uses the brother-sister friendship as an excuse to deceive himself.
The Ruan family's family rules are strict, and Ruan Mianmian is favored, Zhou Yuning has not done anything, and even her embroidery workshop was opened with the consent of Ruan Geng and his wife.
