Chapter 289 Pillowside Occasion(1/2)
Zhou Mengnan smiled faintly, "My husband-in-law is here now, why should I go back?"
"It's not your character to be emotional," Yang Muyun took a deep breath of the water vapor floating on the surface of the pond and said, "You are really capable. You have managed to acquire such a large mansion in such a short time since you entered Beijing."
"Do you think I am a cold-natured person?" Zhou Mengnan looked at the sparkling water in the pool, "What's wrong with accompanying my husband?" Seeing him looking at the night scene in the garden with admiration,
He explained on the side: "This is the residence of Zhang Xi, the Marquis of Taiping. Because he offended the powerful officials in the court, he was arrested and imprisoned by the Jin Yiwei. In order to exonerate him, his family worked hard to get him released. Because the money for atonement was not enough, he had to do it.
This big house was to be sold. I got this information from others, so I paid for it and bought it."
"Not bad, not bad," Yang Muyun nodded, looked at her and said, "It's rare that you are so well-informed. Such a big house cost a lot of money, right?"
"Do you like this place, sir?" Zhou Mengnan's eyes flickered, "Why don't you just move here, and Miss Dai Yu and Miss Wenyu, you can also bring them over and live here." Seeing Yang Muyun's expression,
She looked at herself with a non-smiling smile, and said dizzy, "What do you think I'm doing?"
"Madam, you are really like a lady. You are neither jealous nor jealous. You not only accept your husband-in-law, but also accept the women around him." Yang Muyun said with a smile.
"As long as you like my husband, it's fine," Zhou Mengnan said with a slight smile on his lips, "It's not a bad thing if my husband is liked by others."
"Sometimes I really want to see," Yang Muyun said leisurely, "whether you will be jealous or not, and what you will look like when you are jealous."
"Why should I be jealous?" Zhou Mengnan laughed dumbly, "Am I such a boring person?"
"Yes, you don't know how. You don't pretend to care about the love between children at all." Yang Muyun sighed softly. "In your heart, how to make the Zhou family's business bigger is what you really have to worry about.
So, you don’t care about other women liking me at all. Because of this, I won’t be obsessed with you, right?”
"Everything you say is right, Mr. Zhou Mengnan," Zhou Mengnan said, "If you don't object, I will send someone to bring Dai Yu and Wenyu here tomorrow. What do you think?"
"No!" Yang Muyun answered simply. Zhou Mengnan opened his eyes wide, "Don't you like it here, sir?"
"They are following me, not you," Yang Muyun said calmly: "Dai Yu was originally from a family of officials. Her father was sent to the Border Guards due to a conviction, her mother was sent to the Clothing Bureau, and she was sent to the Jiaofang Division. I
I took her in and helped her get rid of her lowly status. If her family is pardoned one day, I will send her to reunite with her family. As for Minyu, she is from the Zhou Palace and came with the princess.
She's from Beijing. She took care of me when I was staying in Prince Zhou's Mansion due to illness. This time she came to Beijing just to see me. She will go back after all, so I don't need to bother you."
"But my husband, you live with them..."
"There is nothing between me and them," Yang Muyun interrupted her, "It's not what you think."
"Since my husband said so, I will obey you and let them do whatever they want," Zhou Mengnan smiled, "What about you? Do you want to be in the same hospital with them again?"
Yang Muyun scanned the surroundings carefully and sighed softly, "This is the residence of a first-grade official. I, a fifth-grade palace guard with a sword, live here. That is a huge overstep. It's not good for me.
If the censor who is inspecting the conduct is reported to the emperor, it will bring trouble to you, my lady."
Zhou Mengnan knew that he was joking, but he still meant that he didn't want to move here. Just as he was about to persuade him a few more words, Su Yue and Ning Xin came over holding lanterns and inviting Tingting.
"Sir, miss!" They bowed and bowed, "The room has been prepared."
"I got it." Zhou Mengnan blushed and couldn't help but look at Yang Muyun, feeling suddenly nervous in his heart.
Yang Muyun nodded slightly, but his face was tense, looking even more nervous than Zhou Mengnan.
————————————
The curtains were hung low, and the huanghuali wood canopy bed had been covered with a red brocade quilt for the mandarin ducks to play in the water. The red candlelight illuminated the room.
As soon as Yang Muyun and Zhou Mengnan entered the door, Su Yue and Ning Xin smiled coquettishly and closed the door. This made the two of them feel awkward towards each other.
"Ms. sir, you..." Zhou Mengnan raised her head and looked timidly at Yang Muyun.
"Oh, I'm not sleepy, you go and rest first!" Yang Muyun simply said
He glanced to the side, not daring to look at her at all.
"Well..." Zhou Mengnan was a little tired. He glanced around and didn't know who decorated this room. There wasn't even a chair. If he wanted to rest, he could only sit on the edge of the bed. "These two
Little hooves..." She cursed secretly in her heart, but when she thought something was wrong, this must have come from her mother's instruction. Could it be that she realized that she and her husband had not become husband and wife? Zhou Mengnan's face felt hot, and her heart
He also jumped faster, glanced nervously at Yang Muyun, and saw a trace of uneasiness in his eyes.
"Well...Mr., I, I'm a little tired." Zhou Mengnan said in a low voice.
"Oh, please, ma'am." Yang Muyun didn't dare to look at her when he said this. He stamped his feet and felt a little tired from standing. He looked up and saw that Zhou Mengnan was sitting on the edge of the bed. When he saw his eyes, he
His face turned away shyly.
Yang Muyun coughed lightly and walked slowly to the bedside. Zhou Mengnan subconsciously stepped aside. Yang Muyun leaned down and sat down slowly.
Looking at the red dancing candlelight, Yang Muyun twirled his fingers, wanting to smile and relax, but the muscles on his face were so stiff.
"Lady?"
"Um."
"I will leave for the palace at three o'clock." Yang Muyun shook his robe. "It is very inconvenient to wear the official uniform of the Imperial Guard, so I won't take it off."
"Huh?" Zhou Mengnan's long eyelashes trembled a few times, and she couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief and felt a lot more relaxed, "I have to go out early in the morning, so it's better to undress and rest."
The two looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Madam, just relax and rest," Yang Muyun smiled faintly, "I'll just sit here for a while."
"I'm fine," Zhou Mengnan gave him a deep look, "but you have to go to the palace to be on duty before dawn. It's not easy at the end of the day."
The two persuaded each other to go to bed and rest, but neither of them moved.
Yang Muyun stretched out his arms and yawned, glanced at Zhou Mengnan who was sitting next to him, and said softly but hard: "If you don't listen to me again, I'm really going to undress you."
...
The two of them were lying naked on the bed with their backs to each other, in a rather strange posture.
"Madam," Yang Muyun said softly, "my father-in-law and mother-in-law should still be sleeping peacefully when I leave, so I won't disturb them. You can plead guilty to them for me."
"Yeah." Zhou Mengnan responded in a low voice, without comment.
At this time there was a knock on the door.
"Who?" Zhou Mengnan asked.
"Miss..." The voice was soft, but you could still hear it was Su Yue's voice.
"What's the matter?" Zhou Mengnan asked again without getting up.
There was silence outside the door.
"If you have anything to say, don't worry." Zhou Mengnan turned sideways and glanced at Yang Muyun beside him.
"Master Qi's two carts of gold sand have been transported to Wanyuan Bank," Su Yue said outside the door: "He asked you to come and have a look. He is sitting in Wanyuan Bank now."
"I got it," Zhou Mengnan said, "Let Jia Wanjin entertain you well, and don't neglect me. I'll be there in two hours. You can go down!"
"Yes." There was a sound of soft footsteps, thinking that Su Yue had retreated.
"Wouldn't it be better to let people wait there?" Yang Muyun said softly from the side: "You can go on your own, don't worry about me."
"Why am I so anxious at this moment?" Zhou Mengnan said softly: "Besides, I am also tired. I will rest for a few hours. It will not be too late for me to go out with my husband."
"I always thought that I was on duty every day and worked hard," Yang Muyun turned over and looked at her, "I didn't expect you to work harder than me. If it weren't for me, you would have gone over now, right?"
"My husband thinks too much," Zhou Mengnan turned over and met his eyes. "I can't work day and night. Some things don't need to be rushed." Looking at her husband's bright eyes, her lips
The corners are tilted up in an attractive arc.
"If someone comes here late at night, it must be a big deal," Yang Muyun said with a smile, "Aren't you afraid of neglecting someone and causing them to walk away in anger?"
"How do you know this is a big deal?" Zhou Mengnan winked mischievously.
"Su Yue is your personal maid, I'm afraid she can handle some small business by herself, right?" Yang Muyun said lightly: "Why bother coming to disturb your dreams at night?"
"You are worthy of being a member of the Imperial Guard," Zhou Mengnan chuckled, "Nothing can be hidden from your eyes," and then sighed slightly, "Just leave, the business is endless, and I have the opportunity to be with my husband-in-law.
Not much."
Yang Muyun looked at her without blinking and asked for a long time: "When did you become so emotional?"
"How do you know I'm being emotional?" Zhou Mengnan smiled slyly, "When someone comes, I rush over, so why doesn't he use this to raise the price? I have to keep him cold for a few hours before we can talk slowly.
.”
"You are still cunning." Yang Muyun sighed softly.
"It's not cunning," Zhou Mengnan narrowed his eyes slightly, like a proud little fox, "Our Zhou family's Wanyuan Bank is the largest and most reputable bank in the capital. The banknotes it issues are more valuable than those of the imperial court."
The banknotes are still useful, and dignitaries in Beijing exchange them privately. Eight out of ten are bank notes issued by Wanyuan Bank. No one eats the one or two thousand kilograms of gold sand surnamed Qi except my Wanyuan Bank.
Gotta get it off."
Yang Muyun shook his head gently and sighed, "I thought the lady stayed here just for me, but who would have thought... Oh, my joy is in vain!"
"Why are you unhappy about this? Am I not with you?" Zhou Mengnan said with a wave of eyes.
"I'm just sighing that I'm too sentimental."
"Ms. sir, there is no need to be sentimental," Zhou Mengnan said with a half-smile, "If you let Su Yue or Ning Xin come to accompany you tonight, maybe I will really pass by now, because I am also very worried about that Qi's wife.
Let’s go!”
The red candle in the room gradually burned out. At the moment it was about to go out, the flame jumped violently. The brighter candlelight reflected on Zhou Mengnan's charming face, making it even more dazzling.
Yang Muyun's heart moved, and he leaned over and kissed her gently on the face.
