"Miss was born in the year of Mao." Su Zhu's voice sounded weakly.
No one would think too much when no one said it. Now that Li Jingcheng has said it out, and with Suzhu's words, everyone's eyes on the golden pig and the white rabbit in the small attic have changed.
Li Jingcheng looked at the two of them with a smile, his eyes were full of ambiguity, but his mouth continued to fan the flames.
"Oh, what a coincidence, Zirun, don't you think so?"
Wen Tingzhou stood beside Ruan Xi calmly, with a warm smile on his lips.
"It's really a coincidence."
Li Jingcheng: "..."
It was the first time he saw Zirun lying without changing his expression.
Really learned a lot.
"Miss Ruan Si, what do you think?" Seeing that Wen Tingzhou was a tough nut to crack, Li Jingcheng immediately turned around and turned to Ruan Xi.
The blush on Ruan Xi's face hadn't faded yet, seeing Li Jingcheng's malicious eyes watching the play, his mind immediately stabilized, and he said solemnly.
"My impression is that Brother Tingzhou's carving is exquisite, and the mechanism is ingeniously set up."
Wen Tingzhou's eyes fell on the blush of her cheeks, and the corners of her mouth curled up.
"Ruan Ruan is overrated, I haven't done well enough to meet your expectations."
"If I had known earlier..."
Wen Tingzhou didn't continue talking, but just looked straight at Ruan Xi and smiled.
A smile means a lot.
Ruan Xi met his deep and deep eyes, instantly understood the unfinished meaning of his words, her heart skipped a beat, she couldn't help but glared at him with a blushing face.
Wen Tingzhou is getting more and more provocative.
She felt that what Li Jingcheng said was not right at all, Wen Tingzhou was so cowardly.
He is clearly a scheming fox, digging holes step by step.
Li Jingcheng: "..."
These two people are really enough, pretending to be confused, making a pun, and now they are still eye-catching, pretending that who doesn't know, so Li Jingcheng curled his lips and asked straightforwardly.
"Miss Ruan Si, I'm asking how you feel when you see the golden pig hugging the white rabbit?"
Ruan Xi looked away and met Li Jingcheng's smiling face. How could he not know Li Jingcheng's bad intentions, and replied calmly: "It's cute, very eye-catching, and very thoughtful."
The corners of Li Jingcheng's mouth twitched, with a look of frustration on his face. He didn't expect that Miss Ruan Si was also a tough nut to crack. After looking at the calm two people for a while, he finally bowed down: "Miss Ruan Si, I'm convinced. You and Zirun are really good!" match made in heaven."
Ruan Xi smiled slightly.
If you want to see her good show, there is no way!
But Wen Tingzhou's surprise really sent her to the bottom of her heart.
Ruan Xi has always known that Wen Tingzhou is not as glamorous as Jiyue looks on the surface, but he never thought that his seductive skills are so high.
Ruan Xi had to admit that she was really hit by him.
What a black-bellied scheming man.
Mother Lin and Mother Yang were quite relieved and satisfied seeing this scene, and even secretly admired Ruan Xi's concentration and reaction.
Mother Lin glanced at the people in the room, and decided to give Mr. Wen and Miss Fourth a chance to be alone.
"Okay, I've checked the attic too. It's rare for Mr. Wen to come here. Let's go out first and don't disturb Mr. Wen and Miss Fourth."
When Suyu and Suzhu heard this, they immediately nodded and bid farewell to Miss Fushen, and so did Yang's mother, but Li Jingcheng was not too happy.
After Mama Lin and the others went out, Li Jingcheng was still standing in the hall.
"Why are you still here?" Wen Tingzhou looked at Li Jingcheng with a hint of displeasure in his tone.
Li Jingcheng had a playful smile, and Shi Shiran sat on the chair with a rascal look on his face: "I am a distinguished guest, and Fourth Miss Ruan didn't even ask me to leave. Wouldn't it be a shame for Miss Fourth if I just left?"
Ruan Xi: "..."
Wen Tingzhou smiled lightly, and nodded in agreement: "That's true, Ruan Ruan, let Suyu Suzhu come over to entertain this distinguished guest."
Didn't Li Jingcheng want to be a distinguished guest, just satisfy him.
After finishing speaking, Wen Tingzhou took Ruan Xi's soft little hand very naturally and prepared to leave.
Ruan Xi: "..."
Unexpectedly being held hands, Ruan Xi was stunned for a moment, and suddenly looked at Wen Tingzhou, but found that he didn't seem to notice, and took holding hands as a very natural move.
Ruan Xi thought to himself that he was thinking too much.
Wen Tingzhou's big hands were warm and powerful, wrapping her little hands tightly, Ruan Xi's heart skipped a beat, and the base of her ears felt hot quietly.
Wen Tingzhou's eyes seemed to pass over Ruan Ruan's red ears inadvertently, and the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked.
Thanks to Li Jingcheng, he finally held Ruan Ruan's hand.
Well, Ruan Ruan's hands are small, white and soft, and feel particularly good.
Ruan Ruan's hand tightened unconsciously.
At this time, Li Jingcheng was stunned, and he was completely dumbfounded. He never expected Wen Tingzhou to react like this.
He looked at Ruan Xi eagerly.
"Miss Ruan Si, look at Zirun, it's too much for him to turn his back on customers."
Ruan Xi regained his composure, seeing Li Jingcheng's unwillingness to give up, couldn't help raising the corners of his lips, and a playful smile flashed in his eyes.
"Mr. Li, brother Tingzhou is my fiancé, not a guest, so I will ask Suyu and the others to come in."
After a while, Suyu and Suzhu came in, and warmly entertained Mr. Li, the indifferent guest, according to Mr. Wen's wishes.
Li Jingcheng, who was caught by Suyu and Suzhu, watched them go to the inner room helplessly.
He curled his lips and sat on the chair bored, but he was right to follow here today, it was a worthwhile trip.
Tsk tsk, who would have thought that Mr. Wen, who has never been close to women, and who is alienated and indifferent to women, is actually a scheming man with superb means.
Li Jingcheng looked at the small attic on the big table, couldn't help but went to pull the last mechanism back to normal, and started playing with great interest.
Suyu Suzhu: "..."
The furnishings inside are simple and elegant.
Wen Tingzhou sat down holding Ruan Xi's little hand, and then let go of it very naturally, Ruan Xi once again felt that he was thinking too much.
Mama Yang came in with some tea and snacks and then backed out.
As soon as Mama Yang left, Ruan Xi had regained her composure. She poured Wen Tingzhou a cup of hot tea and said with a smile.
"Brother Tingzhou, you came at the right time today, that proud Miss Mu's complexion has changed."
"Miss Mu, I didn't pay attention." Wen Tingzhou coughed.
He only remembered that Miss Mu hit the fourth prince in the face with a bun.
Ruan Xi was speechless for a long while, but Mu Qingling was an invisible person in the main courtyard just now, but she was a little happy in her heart, and said with the corner of her mouth upturned: "It's the concubine daughter of Mu Shilang of the Ministry of War, and she was married to your concubine Wen Tingyi two days ago. The dear one."
Wen Tingzhou's handsome face darkened: "Did she bully you?"
The fact that the Mu family had embezzled a huge amount of military pay was not exposed, and the Holy Lord suppressed it again in the face of Concubine Mu, but secretly ordered Mu Shilang and others to spit out the privately embezzled military pay.
Therefore, the Mu family is still prosperous now, but no family with a rich heritage will marry a daughter from the Mu family.
It was just a coincidence that the concubine of the Mu family was engaged to Wen Tingyi.
Seeing Wen Tingzhou's reaction, Ruan Xi felt even happier. She shook her head: "It's not bullying, but it's hard to say whether she and I can become a family in the future."
There was a cold smile on the corner of Wen Tingzhou's mouth: "It's really hard to say. My concubine Wen Tingyi fell in love with a concubine daughter of a seventh-rank official family at last year's Lantern Festival Lantern Festival. He refused to marry unless she was the only one who made a decision on his aunt. The next marriage is not satisfactory."
Ruan Xi frowned in surprise: "How can my aunt intervene in the concubine's marriage? What does Mrs. Wen say?"
Wen Tingzhou smiled, but the smile didn't reach his eyes: "That aunt directly went over to her mother to find her father's support. Seeing that she didn't need to touch Wen Tingyi's bad things, she let her go."
Ruan Xi: "..."
It seems that the water in Wen Shangshu's backyard is quite deep, but Mrs. Wen still sits firmly on the Diaoyutai.
I think Wen Tingzhou came to tell her something about Wen's backyard on purpose.
But Ruan Xi is not afraid.
In fact, the backyards of rich and powerful families are similar, and the harmony between wives and concubines is a joke.
"Ruan Ruan, don't worry, I will take the exam next month this year, and I will stay in the Hanlin Academy for a year or two after high school. When we two get married, I will find an external position and take you to the office together." .”
Wen Tingzhou has already planned everything, and when Ruan Ruan marries into the Wen family, she will definitely not be wronged.
"Brother Tingzhou, it seems that you are very confident about this test, and you have made plans for the future."
Ruan Xi took a sip of tea and said with a smile.
There are still nearly two years before getting married, Wen Tingzhou really thinks long-term.
Wen Tingzhou smiled slightly: "Three years ago, I was sure that I would be among the top three Jinshi in high school, let alone three years later."
"Brother Tingzhou, since you are sure, why didn't you take the test three years ago?" Ruan Xi asked curiously.
Wen Tingzhou laughed lightly: "The imperial examination is just icing on the cake for the children of us aristocratic families. Besides, we are young and have little experience, and we won't be reused if we win the Jinshi. Of course, it may not be so if there is a family behind us."
Ruan Xi: "..."
To put it bluntly, Brother Tingzhou just didn't want to enter the officialdom so early.
With a family background and strength, it's no wonder that Brother Tingzhou has the leisure to build a small attic for her.
Ruan Xi didn't continue this topic with emotion afterwards, she turned to another matter.
She was very curious about Wen Tingzhou's exquisite carpentry skills.
"Brother Tingzhou, did Master Wu really teach you your woodcarving skills?"
Wen Tingzhou picked up the teacup and took a sip, and didn't care about Ruan Ruan's sudden change of subject. He nodded with a smile, with nostalgia in his eyes: "Well, I started practicing martial arts when I was five years old. In order to stimulate my interest in martial arts, Master Wu deliberately Made a lot of mechanism puppets.”
Ruan Xi's eyes widened: "Master Wu is really amazing."
Wen Tingzhou nodded in agreement.
"Later, I was particularly interested in mechanism dolls, so I learned mechanism woodcarving with Master Wu privately. Except for my grandmother, my parents didn't know about it."
Ruan Xi: "..."
The influence of the enlightenment teacher is really great. Wen Tingzhou, a noble son from a prominent family background, learned a superb carpentry skill because of Master Wu's action.
"Ruan Ruan, after we get married, I'll take you to Master Wu's house to see his treasures. Maybe Master Wu will give us a set of wood carvings for practicing kung fu."
"Okay, I..."
Before Ruan Xi finished speaking, he was interrupted by Li Jingcheng who suddenly barged in.
"Zi Run, it's getting late, it's time to go back."
Li Jingcheng said this, but his eyes kept looking back and forth between the two faces, with a touch of disappointment in his eyes.
I thought I could see the intimate scene between the two, who knew that they were just drinking tea and chatting.
He couldn't help muttering.
"How cowardly!"
Combined with Li Jingcheng's expression and behavior, the meaning of the words is clear at a glance.
Wen Tingzhou: "..."
He felt that it was necessary to learn martial arts with Li Jingcheng.
Ruan Xi couldn't help laughing out loud anymore, this was the second time that Brother Tingzhou was cowarded by Li Jingcheng.
Li Jingcheng and Wen Tingzhou looked at her together.
"Does Ruan Ruan think I'm cowardly too?" Wen Tingzhou's faint voice sounded.
