Chapter 42 Temptation
"It was agreed that my little uncle would go to play with me on the Lantern Festival, but he fell ill and had to rush back to Taizhen Temple to recuperate."
Speaking of this, Lu Youdao sighed resentfully at Su Bei Gu Youdao who had no reaction.
After Lu Youdao mentioned this, Su Bei Gu vaguely remembered that there was indeed such a thing. As for the cause of the disease, she thought it should be that during that time, she was too selfless in thinking about the formation, forgetting that her body could not support such a large amount of consumption, and it was hard to gather together. Get up aura.
However, she still vaguely remembered that she met a girl who seemed to be in a daze. She chatted with the girl and cast a formation on the girl...
As Su Beigu's thoughts drifted farther and farther away, the little stars in the deep memory became within reach. When she reached out to those memory stars and was about to touch them, Lu Youdao's voice interrupted her thoughts:
"I remember that my junior uncle's home is in Fuqiu Township. Is there any business for my junior uncle to come to the city?"
Su Bei Gudao: "There's nothing important to do, just stroll around."
It is the Tan family who want to promote the cotton gin, and it really has nothing to do with her. Now that she appears in Goulan so leisurely to watch dramas, isn't she just hanging out!
Lu Youdao's eyes brightened slightly: "Since there is nothing important, why don't you go to the county government office?"
Su Bei Gu was confused: "County government office?"
Lu Youdao paused and said, "The person I married was just transferred back to Yiyang Renzhi County not long ago."
Subei Gu sighed deeply in his heart: Great Wei had such a vast territory and so many prefectures and counties. Lu Youdao was able to come back here after marrying, which shows that her fate with Tanzhou is not so deep.
Compared to Su Bei Gu's plainness, Tan Ruyi was much more surprised. She didn't expect that the husband-in-law of the other party was actually the newly appointed county magistrate oh no, magistrate!
Rationally told Tan Ruyi that she should ask Lu Youdao about the magistrate for the smooth promotion of the cotton gin, but after realizing Lu Youdao's seeming hostility, she didn't want the other party to know her identity.
Su Bei Gu said: "Go again if you have a chance, we have to buy some goods later."
Lu Youdao was a little disappointed, but thought that he already knew Su Beigu's whereabouts and could find her anytime, so he hid his disappointment again.
"By the way." Su Beigu said suddenly, she lowered her voice and asked Lu Youdao, "Although it's a bit presumptuous, I still want to ask, is my nephew's husband and son-in-law good?"
Lu Youdao didn't understand why she suddenly mentioned whether her husband was easy to get along with, but seeing that she didn't seem to be interested in her husband, he asked tentatively: "He's pretty good, my little uncle wants to see you." him?"
"I don't need to see him, I just want to know what kind of person he is."
Not even interested in seeing each other, this is really in line with the image of the little uncle in the past.Lu Youdao hooked the corners of his lips, and said: "He comes from a poor background, but he is motivated and has a gentle temper. Speaking of which, his temperament is somewhat similar to that of my uncle."
I can't get any effective information from her few words, but guessing that even if Tan Guan fails to cooperate with the government, he won't be reprimanded by the county magistrate, so Su Beigu doesn't ask any more questions.
At this time, Lu Youdao's maid came to remind her: "Madam, it's almost time to go back."
Lu Youdao didn't want to leave, but she still had things to do, so she could only regret saying goodbye to Su Beigu: "Little Martial Uncle, I have something to leave first, how about we meet another day?"
Su Bei Gu nodded, Lu Youdao's eyes flicked past Tan Ruyi, suppressed the thoughts in his heart, and told the shopkeeper in Goulan to serve the two guests here.
Tan Ruyi lay on the railing and watched Lu Youdao's figure go away. She didn't look away until she got into the carriage outside the door.When she turned her head, she suddenly met Su Bei Gu Tan's eyes, and said angrily, "Bei Gu, what are you doing looking at me like that, you scared me."
Su Bei Gudao: "Just now Nephew Lu mentioned the past, and I suddenly remembered that I met a girl in Fuqiu Temple four years ago. Although I don't remember exactly what I said or did, I vaguely feel that the girl Somewhat similar to you."
Tan Ruyi's heart was pounding, she looked straight at Su Beigu, hoping that the other party would remember the scene of their first acquaintance.
But Su Beigu's words were lost. She just smiled and turned her gaze back to the stage.
"And then?" Tan Ruyi couldn't help asking.
Su Bei looked inquiringly: "Sister Ah Qin is so interested, could it be that the girl is really you?"
Tan Ruyi choked, and said in her heart: "You never thought of me at all, and you still want to get an answer from me?!"
She was a little annoyed, and immediately she didn't want to talk to Su Beigu anymore, and turned her head away angrily.
"So it wasn't you!" Su Bei Gu said again.
Tan Ruyi was very angry, but when she thought that Su Bei Gu fell ill because of casting a spell on the Dinglan ruler, after all, it was because of her, she felt a little guilty, and most of the anger disappeared.
"It's me." Tan Ruyi said sullenly.
"I see." Su Bei Gu smiled.
Tan Ruyi looked up at her: "Why do you react like this?"
Su Beigu frowned slightly: "I'm a little curious, since it wasn't the first time we met when I went to Tan's house to pick out the coffin for my late father, why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Tan Ruyi secretly gave Su Bei a glance, and said, "If you can forget this, why don't I forget it too?"
Su Bei Gu Xin thought it was true, she smiled relievedly: "That's right, then we're even?"
Speaking of which, it turned out that they had formed a fate so early on. If she hadn't been so focused on cultivation and formation at that time, she might not have forgotten it.But she was not the only one who forgot about this, even Tan Ruyi forgot, so she didn't need to feel ashamed about it.
Tan Ruyi: "..."
Who is even with you, do you really believe it? !
Tan Ruyi repented at the beginning, and she really shouldn't have lost her temper, because Su Beigu's elm-headed head couldn't tell whether she was telling the truth or irony!
Because of this incident and the sense of crisis brought about by Lu Youdao's appearance, Tan Ruyi couldn't even arouse her interest in going shopping. After shopping, she was ready to go back to the grocery store and wait for her father's news.
Su Beigu didn't know what was going on with her, so he counted the days and asked, "Sister Ah Qin, are you going to have your period soon?"
Tan Ruyi's face turned red, and she didn't know whether it was from anger or shame. After a while, she asked, "How do you know?"
"After living together for so long, your menstruation is basically on time..."
Tan Ruyi's face turned even redder, and she hurriedly covered her mouth: "Okay, stop talking."
Some couples are not so clear about their wives' menstruation time after marriage, but Su Beigu does!How come the memory of a few years ago is not as good as it is now? !
She gave Su Bei a half-angry look, and the latter seemed to be infected by her embarrassment, and became a little embarrassed, and simply fell silent.
Neither of them ever noticed that their mutual care and silence seemed to be brewing a different kind of ambiguity in the eyes of outsiders.
Tan Guan and Zhong Dalang came back soon, their faces were filled with joy, it was obvious that the negotiation had made good progress.
"Did father and little uncle see Ming Fu?" Tan Ruyi asked.
Tan Guan laughed and said, "I didn't see it, but we negotiated a big deal with my sister-in-law's employer."
It turned out that Zhong Dalang's owner saw the prospect of the cotton gin after seeing it, so he decided to cooperate with Tan Guan, who was in charge of building it, and then sold the finished cotton gin at a price of 37 guan each. The owner of the grocery store, the grocery store conducts unified sales.
In order to prevent pirated cotton gins from harming their interests, the owners of grocery stores will use their influence in Yiyang County to ensure that no pirated cotton gins will appear on the market.
As for how to distinguish genuine and pirated copies, Tan Guan was inspired by Su Beigu and thought of many ideas. For example, he put a number on the inside of each cotton gin, and then recorded these cotton gins in the book, including who bought them. All cotton gins have certificates, and future after-sales will be carried out based on these certificates.
There is another advantage of numbering. If someone dismantles the cotton gin and then imitates the structure of the cotton gin to build a pirated cotton gin, in case the other party does not notice the function of this number and makes someone make an identical cotton gin, Then they would know who leaked the structure of the cotton gin.If there is no such number, it will be treated as a pirated version.
Therefore, Tan Guan had to think of a clever symbol that would not attract the attention of others.
Su Bei thought for a while, asked Zhong Dalang for a pen and paper, and then drew horizontal and vertical symbols on it.Tan Ruyi and Tan Guan felt a little strange, but Zhong Dalang could tell what it was at a glance: "This is a trick!"
"Yes, lettering is a bit cumbersome, but it's much easier to use counting chips to represent the number."
Although some people can recognize the number represented by the counting chip, there is really no better way than this, Tan Guan said: "Well, let's use the symbol of the counting chip!"
In order to show the sincerity of cooperation, the owner of the grocery store even sent his own carriage to take Tan Guan, his daughter and Su Bei Gu back.
After sending them off, Zhong Dalang was called by his boss to discuss matters. When the boss was about to go back, it was already dark outside.
The clerk at the grocery store cooked the food, and Zhong Dalang asked his boss to stay and eat with him. It was just a polite word, after all, his boss is used to delicacies from mountains and seas, so why would he be willing to eat their rough food?
Unexpectedly, when the owner saw the steaming dishes, he actually stayed behind.
Halfway through the meal, the owner suddenly asked, "This mushroom is very fresh, where did you get the mountain product?"
Zhong Dalang hurriedly went to see the guy in charge of cooking. The other party was stunned for a moment, looked at Zhong Dalang and said, "Didn't the shopkeeper ask me to cook this?"
Zhong Dalang suddenly remembered that it was given to him by Tan Ruyi, who said it was oyster mushrooms grown by the Su family, and asked him to take it home to eat with Aunt Tan.
Zhong Dalang explained to his owner: "My niece brought it here, and said it was planted by her husband's family."
The owner said: "The more you eat this mushroom, the better it becomes. You can charge more next time."
Chong Dalang hasn't eaten it yet, he wanted to eat it at first, but his boss kept picking this mushroom to eat, which made him feel ashamed to use his chopsticks.Hearing what the owner said, he tried to stick out his chopsticks towards the mushroom. As a result, the mushroom did not have the earthy smell of the fresh mushrooms that he usually eats, and the taste was very good. No wonder the owner who is used to eating delicacies from mountains and seas also liked It's full of praise.
He remembered Tan Ruyi's words, and planned to ask Tan Guan to bring a message to the Su family the next time he saw Tan Guan, and planned to collect mushrooms from the Su family.
……
With the carriage, Su Bei Gu and his party returned to Fuqiu Township before dark.Tan Guan went home excitedly to report today's results. Su Bei looked at Tan Ruyi and asked, "Sister Ah Tan, will you follow me back to Su's house?"
Tan Ruyi had already calmed down, and happily said: "Since you have asked, it is definitely necessary."
The two returned to Su's house just in time for dinner. Lu Xuehuan said while eating dinner, "Today your uncle came to borrow a cotton gin."
Su Bei's advisor: "Did the mother agree?"
Lu Xuehuan was in a complicated mood, and couldn't care about Tan Ruyi's presence at the moment, and said, "I didn't want to borrow it, but he is my elder brother after all."
If Uncle Lu's purpose of visiting was the same as that of Uncle Lu's, and to count on the little property of the Su family, Lu Xuehuan would definitely not give him a good face.However, the other party didn't mention how the Su family property will handle this matter, but only said: "When my sister's cotton is ginned, the cotton gin will be empty. I wonder if I can lend it to my brother?"
Lu Xuehuan was a little hesitant, and finally said: "This cotton gin belongs to Beigu, I will ask her opinion first."
Uncle Lu raised his eyebrows, but he didn't press every step of the way, and said: "Then wait for her to come back, and I'll come over again!"
Compared with Second Uncle Lu, Uncle Lu's attitude was extremely upright, and did not arouse any dissatisfaction or disgust from Lu Xuehuan, so after he left, Lu Xuehuan became more and more soft-hearted, and then asked Su Bei for advice.
"This cotton gin is yours, so let's leave it to you!" Lu Xuehuan said.
Su Beigu smiled slightly, neither saying yes nor rejecting immediately, said: "In this case, I'd better meet uncle first before giving him an answer!"
After eating, Su Beigu went back to take a bath and meditated for a while. After the second watch, she suddenly heard someone walking in the yard.She guessed that it was Tan Ruyi outside, so she opened the door and went out to have a look. Sure enough, Tan Ruyi probably just got out of the bath, her long wet hair was hanging down her back, hanging down to her waist, and she was only wearing a single dress, walking under the moonlight.
"Bei Gu." Hearing the sound of the door opening, Tan Ruyi looked over.
Su Bei Gu frowned: "Why did Sister Ah Qin wash her hair so late?"
Tan Ruyi came over and said, "I didn't wash it, but the ends of my hair got wet by accident."
Having said that, Su Bei Gu still used a dry towel to hold her hair up and dried it as much as possible.Tan Ruyi didn't refuse either, and let her manipulate her like a puppet.
On a cool autumn night, the autumn wind blew slightly, and a faint fragrance of flowers suddenly came. Su Beigu paused and asked, "Sister Ah Qin used Fushen fragrance powder?"
Fushen powder is a powder that is rubbed on the body after bathing. It not only has a fragrance, but also makes the skin smoother.
Tan Ruyi replied, "Well, I bought it today while shopping, Beigu forgot?"
Of course, Su Beigu didn't forget, but she remembered that Tan Ruyi used to use rouge and water powder to decorate her face at most, and she seldom used such things as Fushen powder. How has it changed now?
But it's not surprising, everyone has a love of beauty, Tan Ruyi may have no time to dress up in the past, but now she doesn't have to look at other people's eyes to live, and has a large dowry for her own expenses, she is willing to spend money and Time to please yourself is also normal.
"Is this smell bad?" Tan Ruyi suddenly leaned back nervously, trying to get closer to Su Beigu so that she could smell it more clearly.
The aroma was like a cloud of fog, which suddenly flooded into her heart, blocking Su Beigu's thoughts and making her unable to think.
Su Beigu's face was full of embarrassment, and she responded stiffly: "It smells good, there are cloves, agarwood, green wood, and white sandalwood... Although there are many smells, they are not mixed, and it is unexpected. Naturally, there are priorities."
Although Tan Ruyi didn't see Su Beigu's movements, just imagining the picture of Su Beigu behind her, sniffing her body, her heart beat faster and her palms sweated from nervousness.
Biting her lip, Tan Ruyi didn't dare to look directly at Su Beigu, turned her head and took Su Beigu's hand and walked into the room: "It's getting late, let's rest early!"
"hair……"
"It's just the ends of your hair, it's okay."
Su Bei Gu stopped talking.
Sharing the same bed is already the most common thing for each other, but when Tan Ruyi unbuttoned her single clothes and only had one to wipe her stomach, Su Beigu still felt a little uncomfortable.
"Sister Aqin, you—"
Tan Ruyi pretended to be puzzled: "What's wrong with me?"
She looked at herself following Su Beigu's eyes, and suddenly realized: "This is not the first time Beigu has seen me like this, why are you shy tonight?"
The last time Su Beigu saw Tan Ruyi wearing so little was when she was ill. It was midsummer, she was very cold, wrapped in a thick quilt, but Tan Ruyi, who shared the bed with her, suffered , had to take off the unlined clothes.If the situation didn't allow it, she didn't even want to wear that belly wipe.
Su Beigu turned his face away: "It's getting cold, sister Aqin is easy to catch cold if she wears so little."
Tan Ruyi climbed straight onto the bed, lay down beside Su Beigu, hugged her, and said, "This way it won't be cold!"
Su Beigu: "..."
After a while, Tan Ruyi touched Su Beigu's cheek with her hand, and breathed out in her ear like blue: "Bei Gu, why are you so tough tonight?"
Su Beigu: "?!"
What a tiger's word!
"Relax, you're making me sick."
Su Beigu couldn't help but said, "I didn't do anything."
It means, if you feel uncomfortable, don’t post it, just go to sleep!
"So what do you want to do?"
Su Beigu: "..."
Why is the dialogue getting weirder?
Tan Ruyi was about to stop teasing, but Lu Youdao's figure suddenly appeared in her mind. She pursed her lips, and moved closer to Su Beigu, almost half lying on Su Beigu's body, and hooked Su Beigu with her fingers. the collar, and said: "Why don't Bei Gu take off a little less?"
Su Beigu: "..."
She decided to pretend to be asleep.
Tan Ruyi didn't get any feedback from her, so she raised her head and glanced at her, feeling that her body was still a little tense, and thought it was a little funny.But she was worried about going too far, so she didn't continue teasing.
Maybe it was because this posture made Tan Ruyi feel comfortable, or maybe it was because Tan Ruyi was tired after walking outside for a day, so she quickly fell asleep.
Su Beigu lifted his eyelids, and there was a gleam of light in his eyes in the dark room.
Did Tan Ruyi really forget that encounter in Fuqiu Temple four years ago like she did?If he really forgot, then why did he still carry that Ding Lan ruler all the time, and still vague about its origin?
Not to mention why the other party pretended to forget that encounter, but the recent behavior of the other party seems to have crossed the line.
Although she didn't have any good childhood playmates, even if her childhood sweethearts were as good as Lu Youdao, they had never had such an intimate behavior between them, so what kind of mood did the other party get along with her?
She seldom puts her mind on things other than practice, which doesn't mean she is really an elm-headed person who can't detect other people's thoughts.
But what if she noticed Tan Ruyi's unusual thoughts?Can she make a decision easily?
This is not the world of cultivating immortals, even in the world of cultivating immortals, the relationship between the same sex would be criticized, let alone here. ——She has always wanted to find a way to go back to the world of cultivating immortals, and she didn't want to live in this world, so even if she had that vague feeling for Tan Ruyi, she had to suppress it.
Suddenly, Tan Ruyi's body slid down a bit, but her body was still clinging to Su Beigu. In her sleep, she murmured: "Beigu..."
Su Beigu's thoughts retracted, and after a while, she pulled up the quilt again, hiding Tan Ruyi's exposed shoulders and arms under the quilt, and then closed her eyes and fell asleep.
