CHAPTER-8

　　Ruan Zhi returned to the room, put the porcelain bottle in the drawer, and glanced in the direction of Gu Qingci with a cold look.

　　Chiwu is stupid, but he is still Chiwu.

　　Haha.

　　Gu Qingci was sleeping soundly, and the crisis sense he developed in the end of the world rang. Gu Qingci sat up suddenly, his eyes alertly looking around, his body in a defensive posture, one hand supporting the bed, the other hand blocking, legs kicking on the bed, ready to get up at any time.

　　After seeing a slender woman under the candlelight, Gu Qingci's tense body relaxed instantly, and he lay down lazily. His dark eyes took off his guard and looked up at the woman's innocent smile.

　　"Madam, what are you doing? You scared me." Gu Qingci said, his voice was nasal and soft with a wake-up sound.

Ruan Zhi:...

　　She just glanced at her, and this person woke up.

　　Just now, with that hunting posture, Ruan Zhi almost thought that Gu Qingci would pounce on her.

　　It was just a moment, like an illusion.

　　"I'm thirsty." Ruan Zhi said lightly, and returned to her big bed.

　　"Oh... Madam, wait a moment." Gu Qingci got up and found a kettle to pour a glass of water for Ruan Zhi and brought it over.

　　Ruan Zhi picked up the small white porcelain cup and sipped it slowly to kill time.

　　Who knew that when she looked up at Gu Qingci, he was still standing, but his head was nodding, and he began to doze off.

　　People who have suffered from insomnia for many years are envious and inexplicably annoyed.

He can fall asleep under any conditions!

　　"Madam, have you finished drinking?" Gu Qingci was startled by Ruan Zhi's look and raised his head to ask Ruan Zhi.

　　"Alright." Ruan Zhi gave the cup to Gu Qingci.

　　Gu Qingci put the things away.

　　"Madam, what else do you want?" Gu Qingci turned around and asked Ruan Zhi.

　　"No." Ruan Zhi waved her hand and stopped looking at Gu Qingci.

　　Gu Qingci went back to the small couch, still lying down, and fell asleep again after a while.

　　Ruan Zhi:...

　　Ruan Zhi heard that soldiers who have fought in wars are very alert and can fall asleep and wake up easily.

　　What kind of war did Gu Qingci fight?

　　Ruan Zhi didn't look at Gu Qingci again.

　　It was all in vain.

　　Ruan Zhi lay down and closed her eyes, still unable to fall asleep.

　　The pain in her head and glands was one thing, and there were also the memories of past and present lives entangled together, weighing heavily on her heart.

　　But today seemed to be better than the night before. The faint sweetness at the tip of her nose made Ruan Zhi feel a little better. After an unknown amount of time, Ruan Zhi fell into a light sleep in a daze.

　　Gu Qingci had a good sleep quality, and when she woke up in the morning, she was still in the same position as yesterday.

　　There was nothing uncomfortable, the bed was very soft.

　　She slept well without dreams all night.

　　However, this sleeping position made her little Wangzai bun feel poor.

　　Gu Qingci got up and rubbed it, and it felt even flatter.

　　Woo woo woo.

　　It was still dark outside.

　　Gu Qingci got up and looked for clothes.

　　Last night, Granny Qin only gave her pajamas, but no outer robes.

　　The old clothes were taken away again.

　　Gu Qingci could only go out and ask someone.

　　"Why did the master come out in his pajamas? If you need anything, just shout." Granny Qin had already gotten up and said to Gu Qingci.

　　Gu Qingci coughed lightly. The pajamas were all long-sleeved and long-pants, not revealing.

　　Well, she had to adapt to the local customs.

　　"I've slept enough and I need to get up and exercise. Can you help me find some clothes to exercise in?" Gu Qingci said.

　　"Yes, I asked Shengxuanfang to make ten sets of clothes for the master. The master has never stayed here overnight before, so he has never worn them. They are new. I'll get them for the master right away." Granny Qin said.

　　"Thank you for your trouble." Gu Qingci said, sighing in his heart, a rich woman is a rich woman, she actually made ten sets of clothes for that scum.

　　Fortunately, that scum didn't wear them, it was a bargain for her.

　　"Let Lianrui help the master change clothes." Granny Qin quickly brought clothes to Gu Qingci.

　　"No, I can do it myself." Gu Qingci refused.

　　Gu Qingci took the clothes and went into the bed, took off his pajamas in front of his small couch, and thought about putting on new clothes.

　　When she was almost dressed, she felt a chill on her back. She turned around and saw Ruan Zhi squinting at her.

　　"Madam, you continue to sleep. I'll get up first." Gu Qingci said softly. He turned around and saw Ruan Zhi's eyes were cold. There was a cold light in her eyes and the blade was flying.

　　Gu Qingci's heart skipped a beat. What happened again?

　　"Do you want to drink water?" Seeing that Ruan Zhi was still looking at her with that look, Gu Qingci walked up to Ruan Zhi and asked softly.

　　Ruan Zhi half-opened her eyes. As Gu Qingci approached, her expression relaxed a little. She stretched out her hand and pinched Gu Qingci's chin with her slender fingers.

　　"Be quiet." Ruan Zhi uttered two words.

　　Gu Qingci covered his mouth and nodded. Ruan Zhi

　　relaxed and closed her eyes again

　　. Gu Qingci didn't dare to speak again. He just saw Ruan Zhi close her eyes and seemed to be asleep. Then he slowly backed out and went outside. His breathing became normal.

　　It feels like being with a king is like being with a tiger.

　　This may be the only shortcoming of this boss, his aura is too strong.

　　Gu Qingci straightened his clothes.

　　The red embroidered gold-lapeled waisted robe has better texture and tailoring than the one he wore yesterday.

　　"My Lord, are you going to the academy so early? I'll go get the book box for you." Lianrong came to Gu Qingci and asked. Fortunately, she got up early so that she could spend more time with Gu Qingci.

　　"Not for now. I'm going to exercise." Gu Qingci said.

　　Gu Qingci felt a little overwhelmed when he heard about the academy. He moved his arms and legs and trotted out.

　　Lianrong wanted to say something, but Gu Qingci had already run out and disappeared!

　　Is there something so urgent?

　　Lianrong walked out quickly and saw Gu Qingci running on the garden path, very fast.

　　Lianrong couldn't catch up at all.

　　When Gu Qingci ran back, he ran away again.

　　Lianrong:...

　　"Lianrong, what are you doing there, come here!" The voice of Mrs. Qin came, calling Lianrong over.

　　Lianrong's plan to get close to Gu Qingci failed.

　　The garden of Xiuyi Garden is very large, with a lot of landscape art, including rockeries and waterside pavilions. Gu Qingci is very satisfied with this lawn road. When running on it, there are beautiful scenery on both sides.

After running enough, you can find a pavilion to stretch your legs and do some stretching.

　　The air is good and spacious.

　　It is much more comfortable than exercising in the bedroom of Mojinxuan.

　　Ruan Zhi woke up when the sky was bright.

　　"The master took a bath yesterday and dressed today without anyone helping him. It turns out that there are such people in noble families. It's better for me to watch over her so that the maids won't get close to her." Granny Qin came to report to Ruan Zhi.

　　Ruan Zhi didn't say anything. As for Gu Qingci, she just hoped that she could be more obedient during the time when she arranged a retreat.

　　"This morning, the master tied her hair casually and went out. He ran back and forth in the garden, sweating all over his head. He said he was exercising. After all, he is still young and is like a child." Granny Qin laughed when she said this.

　　There is no such way to exercise nowadays.

　　Ruan Zhi always felt silly when she heard what Granny Qin said.

　　In her previous life, Gu Qingci did not have these habits.

　　"Let her be. If she wants to go out, let someone comb her hair." Ruan Zhi said lazily.

　　"I know. Ah Zhi, I think there's something wrong with Lianrong. She always likes to get close to the master. I think she has some intentions." Qin Pozi said, thinking of Lianrong's behavior.

　　"Nurse, you don't have to worry about these things. Take care of your body. Let the maid do anything. I'll send someone to ask a doctor to see you today." Ruan Zhi said.

　　Ruan Zhi will slowly replace the few people around her who are not very useful.

　　As for Lianrong, she is indeed quite pretty, and she hasn't made any mistakes now. Keep her by her side to let her see how much endurance Gu Qingci has.

　　Qin Pozi was still a little worried, but Ruan Zhi didn't mention it, and she didn't want to keep nagging.

　　After Gu Qingci finished exercising, Qin Pozi prepared a robe for her to go out, and also prepared hot water.

　　Gu Qingci came out of the wash and saw Ruan Zhi. She had already dressed up, but she was very plain. Her clothes were cloth, and the hairpin on her head was no longer a gold hairpin, but a wooden one.

　　It was pretty, but it was much simpler all of a sudden.

　　"Madam, why are you dressed like this?" Gu Qingci was surprised. This was not in line with the style of a rich woman.

　　"I'm going out today. Merchants cannot wear silk and gold. Does my wife know?" Ruan Zhi said.

　　"..." Gu Qingci remembered.

　　Not only can you not wear silk and gold, you can't even ride in a carriage when you go out.

　　Nowadays, farming is not well developed, and many people can't eat enough. The court hopes that more people will farm and not run around. There are a series of measures to emphasize agriculture and suppress business, which makes the status of merchants extremely low. People at that time were ashamed of doing business and looked down on those who do business.

　　That's why Ruan Zhi's identity was criticized by Xue Sanniang and others.

　　"Then, if you marry me, can't your merchant status be modified?" Gu Qingci asked Ruan Zhi.

　　It's a bit miserable to make money but only wear brocade clothes at night, wear gold and silver at home, and wear cloth clothes and wooden hairpins when going out, and have to walk.

　　"With the title of my wife, you can only take the marriage certificate to modify it after you have children." Ruan Zhi said.

　　She has long been accustomed to merchant status.

　　"..." Gu Qingci was speechless. Well, it's not her turn to be attentive in this matter.

　　Ruan Zhi's official status is much more powerful than hers.

　　"Madam, what are you doing out today? Do you want me to accompany you?" Gu Qingci stopped talking about that and changed the subject.

　　"Today I am going back to my parents' home. Please accompany me, my lord. Although I cannot ride in a carriage, my wife can. I have sent someone to the carriage shop to rent a carriage." Ruan Zhi said.

　　"Okay!" Gu Qingci squinted and agreed. It was good not to go to school.

　　"Madam, you don't have any requirements for academic qualifications, right? That is, for example, if I don't pass the exam to become a scholar, you won't fire me, right?" Gu Qingci thought of going to school and asked Ruan Zhi.

　　"...Whether you pass the exam to become a scholar has nothing to do with me. Whether you go to school or not is entirely up to you." Ruan Zhi said. Gu Qingci's questions were always strange.

　　Hearing Ruan Zhi say this, Gu Qingci's psychological pressure was immediately relieved a lot.
