Chapter 205: Gifts
On the second day, Ruan Tang asked Xiaofeng to drive the carriage and send her to King Ning's mansion.
On the way, she also made a special trip to Tianxianglou.
She has been busy embroidering for the past few days, and the manuscripts she took the time to write have always been sent to her by Xiaofeng.
Now that seven or eight days have passed, it is time for her to settle her share of profits.
She had just entered Tianxiang Building, and as soon as the shopkeeper saw her, he immediately greeted her.
"Miss Ruan, you're finally here." The shopkeeper is full of spring, and at a glance, he knows that the business must be hot these days.
As expected, when she paid for it, it was as much as five thousand taels for seven days.
Although this is not a lot of money compared to her previous business, she is satisfied with being able to earn so much with a few small manuscripts.
She took the money and gave a few more manuscripts to the shopkeeper before leaving Tianxianglou.
It's just that when she got into the carriage, she saw an inn diagonally opposite Tianxianglou, and a figure flashed by, a bit like Chu Mu.
But she stopped and watched for a while, but no one came out again.
She shook her head, thinking to herself that maybe she had read it wrong.
Without thinking too much, she got into the carriage and went directly to King Ning's mansion.
The people in Ning Wang's Mansion were very familiar with her, and the guards guarding the door saw that it was her, so they let her go directly.
As soon as he entered, Uncle Gu greeted him.
"Miss Ruan is here." Uncle Gu was very happy to see her.
"Hello Uncle Gu, is Your Highness here?"
"Your Highness has gone up to court, and he hasn't come back yet, but it's almost noon now, and he must be back soon."
In the past few days, because of the fact that Concubine Wan Guifei was killed by her master, her father visited His Royal Highness in the court and asked the Holy Lord to punish him severely.
However, His Royal Highness had the county lord of Jingning to testify, proving that it was Wan Guifei who drugged and seduced him, and His Royal Highness was humiliated, so he had to kill her.
The saint didn't like the concubine Wan for a long time, knowing that she didn't want to seduce her imperial uncle, she had already been angry, where would she still be the master of the concubine's father?
It was the father of the concubine Wan who had been messing around in the court for the past few days, which made His Royal Highness irritable.
In addition, I haven't seen Miss Ruan come to the house for a few days, and the interest of His Royal Highness looks more and more depressed.
Now that the person is finally here, Uncle Gu must be the happiest.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that His Royal Highness likes this Ruan girl, but he is happy to the core.
"Okay, I'll wait for him at Canglang Garden, he's back, and I'm tired of Uncle Gu telling him that I'm coming."
"Okay, Miss Ruan, let's go."
After Ruan Tang went towards Canglang Garden, Uncle Gu called a few maids and instructed them to send all kinds of refreshments and fruits to Canglang Garden.
When Ruan Tang arrived at Canglang Garden, he went directly to Chu Mu's study.
I can just use the time I was waiting for him to write down a notebook.
It's just that she was more fascinated by what she wrote, forgetting the time and not paying attention, noon had passed, but Chu Mu hadn't come back yet.
Until it got dark, Ruan Tang was also tired of writing, and couldn't help but lie on the desk and dozed.
When Chu Mu came back, he learned that Ruan Tang was here, and the haze of the day outside suddenly disappeared.
He walked quickly towards Canglang Garden, and when he saw the study with the lights on, a warmth welled up in his heart.
For the first time, he noticed that someone was waiting for him to come back at home, and it turned out to be such a happy thing.
He didn't bother to think about anything else, and hurried to the study.
As soon as I opened the door, I saw a small head lying on the bookcase.
And the sound of him coming in did not make the owner of the little head raise his head.
Chu Mu frowned, subconsciously lightened his steps, and walked quickly to her.
When he saw her already asleep, a faint smile came out of his lips.
He crouched down beside her, leaned closer, and watched her sleeping face.
Only then did she realize that her eyes were dark, and she looked as if she hadn't slept for days.
Chu Mu glanced at the manuscript that was pressed under her head, presumably it was these days, writing manuscripts day and night, that was like this.
He couldn't help but feel distressed, obviously he gave her all his money, why did he have to be so stubborn, just unwilling to spend his money?
But he was distressed, and he knew that what she had decided, he would definitely not change her mind.
He got up and picked her up from his chair, trying to carry her back to the bedroom to sleep.
But he had only taken a few steps with her in his arms, and she arched lightly in his arms, and her eyes opened.
When she saw that it was Chu Mu, she raised her hand and rubbed her eyes, and said softly in a soft voice: "You're back!" ”
Chu Mu said 'um', "If you are sleepy, go to sleep, and this king will carry you to the bedroom to sleep." ”
Ruan Tang is indeed very sleepy, these days, in order to embroider his belt and write a notebook, she only sleeps for an hour or two every day, and her body is already very tired.
However, she didn't nod, but asked Chu Mu to let her down, "Your Highness, you let me down first." ”
Chu Mu frowned, but still relied on her.
Ruan Tang got out of his arms, and he was a little more sober.
She walked back to the desk, picked up a long wooden box on it, and walked to Chu Mu.
"Your Highness, this is for you." Ruan Tang said, handing the wooden box to Chu Mu.
Chu Mu was first puzzled, then surprised.
"Tang Tang's gift to this king?"
"Well, I made it myself, you can't dislike it."
She still has self-knowledge, the pattern she embroidered is really not good, but it is also her heart, if Chu Mu dislikes it, she will still feel uncomfortable.
However, she seemed to overestimate Chu Mu's aesthetics, because when he opened the box and saw the belt, he did not show a look of disgust, but a look of surprise.
He first took the belt and examined it carefully, and then gently rubbed the embroidery pattern with his fingertips.
"This was embroidered by Tang Tang himself?"
Ruan Tang nodded, "Although the embroidery is not very good, I have worked very hard, but I stayed up a few nights to embroider, you are not allowed to say ugly." ”
"It's not ugly, this colorful duck is still lifelike."
"What duck? That's a swan, noble swan, understand? Ruan Tang couldn't help but roll his eyes.
Sure enough, men don't know how to appreciate.
"Well, it's a swan, it's the king's clumsiness."
Chu Mu said, took off the original belt on his body, and directly surrounded the one given by Ruan Tang.
Because the swans are multicolored, the rest of the belt is made of white cloth.
However, in order not to be so monotonous, Ruan Tang sewed a circle of colorful gemstones on it.
When I watched it alone, Ruan Tang thought it was very good-looking.
But after Chu Mu put it on, she felt unbearable.
Especially does not match Chu Mu's noble temperament.
This belt has the feeling of an upstart wearing a suit, which directly lowers Chu Mu's temperament by a few notches.
Especially the pair of swans, how to look at it, how ugly it is.
"Your Highness, why don't you give it back to me, I'll practice my embroidery skills again, and then embroider for you, this one is really ......" I can't take it.
But Chu Mu didn't follow her, "This king thinks it's very good, this king likes this kind of simplicity with a little luxury." ”
Hehe! Rustic with a touch of luxury!
It is aptly described, the simple is the colorful swan, and the luxury is the gem.
