Yi Lin couldn't stand it anymore: "You are indeed annoying. People who scold you wish you were dead, but Sister Ruan has not even said a word when she entered the room. What's wrong with you?"

As he said this, he still couldn't understand his hatred.

"I heard from my servant that you deserve to have nightmares these days and nights!"

As soon as he mentioned the word nightmare, Gu Huaizhi's face darkened at a speed visible to the naked eye.

These nights, he never slept well.

Gu Huaizhi stared at Ruan Zhen, his eyebrows furrowed: "You scolded me and you still don't admit it?"

How to admit it?

She pursed her lips and was about to speak out.

Ran

The person Changfeng brought back last time made Gu Huaizhi sick with his voice. In addition, these days, he didn't want to hear a woman's voice at all.

Gu Huaizhi stared at Ruan Zhen's pretty face and said word by word: "Don't make excuses, I won't listen."

Ruan Zhen choked.

Why is it so difficult!!!

That's right, Xiao Hui is like this, and his master must be even worse.

Yi Lin: ...too lazy to get used to Gu Huaizhi's bad habits.

He immediately rushed to Ruan Zhen and said, "I heard from Mu Jiu that you will also go there on the Flower Festival. Sister Ruan saw a certain young man and told me that I would check things for you and build bridges for you.

"

After Ruan Zhen recognized her relatives, she was followed by Duke Dingguo's palace. She was no longer just a poor cousin of the Duke's family.

Gu Huaizhi offended many people, but there were also many people who wanted to establish friendship with Duke Dingguo.

"Are you very free?" Gu Huaizhi looked calm.

Yi Lin shook his fan: "I'm very free."

"My own marriage is still in stalemate because of the betrothal gift. Why do you have time to worry about others?"

"Sister Ruan is one of my own. Hey, I just like to worry about this."

As he said that, he looked at Ruan Zhen, and a very suitable candidate popped into his mind.

"If nothing else, Mu Hansheng is a good person. You have also met Mu Jiu. The General's Mansion is a good place to stay."

Ruan Zhen appreciated his kindness.

Just about to say no.

But he was interrupted again.

"Ruan Zhen."

The two words came out of his mouth, low and lazy.

Ruan Zhen looked over subconsciously.

The man was dressed in a crescent-white face, silk trousers, and a jade crown on his head. His appearance was extraordinary. If one had ignored the faint sarcasm at the corner of his mouth, he would definitely be called "Zhilan Yushu."

"I don't want to hear you talk."

Gu Huaizhi: "Shut up."

Ruan Zhen rubbed her handkerchief angrily.

The butler entered carrying a small tray with red flowers on a yellow background and cloisonné enamel. Perhaps sensing the condensation in the atmosphere in the room, he placed three bowls of ginger soup one by one on the coffee table next to several people.

Then, before going out, he said to Tan Yun: "Follow me down and have a bowl of ginger soup."

Ruan Zhen nodded to Tan Yun. Tan Yun turned pale, thanked the housekeeper, and quietly retreated.

This time, there were only three people left in the house.

Yi Lin complained: "I said, why don't you let Sister Ruan speak?"

Gu Huaizhi twitched his lips and said casually: "Sister, what does she have to do with you?"

"When will Master Yi pay back the ten taels of silver that he extorted from me last time?"

Yi Lin, who gets hurt when talking about money:...

"No, you have the nerve to argue with me for a mere ten taels of silver?"

It would have been fine if it had been anyone else, but from Yi Lin's place, even if there was only one penny, Gu Huaizhi would take it back.

Ruan Zhen: ...sitting like a felt needle.

She flicked the white porcelain spoon with her index finger and glanced outside the door from time to time. She wished that the rain would stop right now.

She tried hard to keep her presence to a minimum.

However, things went against everyone's wishes.

"Ruan Zhen."

The light voice passed through my ears again, refreshing.

"Huh?" She replied softly with a nasal voice.

"Drink it well."

Gu Huaizhi said disgustedly: "Don't let the cold spread to me."

Yi Lin:……

Ruan Zhen:……

As if hearing Ruan Zhen's prayer, the rain gradually became lighter. The rain hit the bluestone floor, tick... tick...

After Ruan Zhen drank the ginger soup, her whole body felt warm. But her lips and teeth were filled with the pungent taste of ginger.

She pinched a piece of plum from the delicate white porcelain plate on the coffee table, covered half of her face with a handkerchief, and bit into it in small bites.

Yi Lin: "By the way, I came here to invite you to Teng Pavilion. I am familiar with you, so I revealed that the finale of Teng Pavilion is a natural mutton-fat jade Buddha statue."

Ruan Zhen paused. If she remembered correctly, Teng Pavilion should be Yi Lin's property.

Tengge is a famous place of wealth and prominence in Lin'an. It is opened every six months. The people in Tengge only care about money. The rare and rare treasures collected are auctioned, and the one with the highest price wins.

Gu Huaizhi was not surprised at all.

Yi Lin is a picky person, but he wants others to spend huge sums of money on his account.

"What, you want to cheat me again?"

Yi Lin was not happy anymore.

"Everything Tengge sells is extraordinary, how can you say it's a scam? Don't let outsiders take advantage of it. Why don't you snatch these treasures back and put them on display?"

Gu Huai's mood was lacking.

"Not going."

"The elegant room in No. 1 of Teng Pavilion has been made available for you."

"I'm injured."

"You can rest assured, I will prepare the carriage so that you won't suffer any bumps. You won't be hurt."

Gu Huaizhi was impatient.

He was too lazy to move.

Ruan Zhen is looking forward to the rain stopping, and so is he.

Gu Huaizhi waited for the rain to stop completely and then issued an order to expel the guests.

Yi Lin didn't give up: "This time the guy from the Chi family is going too. He injured his leg last time and the whole Lin'an was laughing at him. He has lost all face. I heard that he had prepared enough money this time and spent a lot of money just waiting to be exposed."

The last one was so generous."

Gu Huaizhi was thinking about how to torture Chi Xingxun, but he didn't expect what Yi Lin said happened to happen.

He pondered for a moment, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.

Occasionally a gust of wind blew by, making a loud noise on the window coffin.

The man's voice moved along with the cold wind, making his heart feel cold.

"You didn't let out the news about the mutton-fat jade Buddha statue. I'll take it at a price, and you exchanged it for the grand finale."

Tengge puts the most amazing things at the end every time, so it can be changed at any time.

Yi Lin was very principled: "If this doesn't work, how can business be done like this?"

Gu Huaizhi raised his eyelids and rubbed the jade finger between his fingers, feeling delicate to the touch.

He knew Chi Xingxun's temper very well, and this time he went for the finale.

But Gu Huaizhi didn't want him to get his wish.
