Ruan Mengshen received a letter, a frost-colored letter paper with orchid fragrance, which was specially sent by the staff of Xiankelou, an invitation letter from Miss Yunshu.

Ruan Dong'er took the letter into the study, put it on the desk in front of Ruan Mengshen, and muttered, "Just now the messenger said he was from Xiankelou. Didn't you have sex with some prostitute? Don't learn from your friends. Madame asked Ruan You and me to keep an eye on you, if you act recklessly, we will tell Madam."

Ruan Mengshen said, "Who am I?"

Ruan Dong'er was stunned: "Are you stupid? You are the young master of the Ruan family."

"Oh, so I'm a young master," Ruan Mengshen nodded and said, "You bully me like this all day, I thought I was your servant."

The irascible girl turned her head away angrily again, Ruan Mengshen shook her head helplessly, this Dong'er has a really weird temper, every time she doesn't care about it, she will always show a look of being overwhelmed by her young master in the end, fortunately It won't be long before she returns by herself, continuing to care about people with a fierce attitude.

He sighed and reached for the letter on the table.

Ruan Mengshen recognized Yun Shu's letter. He had seen Lu Yuanqi happily holding the same letter paper, but he didn't expect Yun Shu to write a letter to invite him to be a guest. He had never been courteous to her, and he had never used it in his own name. The guest of honor who competed with her.

When he opened the letter and read it, he realized that the other party knew that Lu Yuanqi's poems were written by him. He was a little surprised. There were only a few words in the letter, but the words were reserved, but the woman's affection was hard to hide.

Holding the letter, he straightened out his crimes. He really had no interest in Yun Shu, and he might not be able to reciprocate her feelings.

Ruan Mengshen didn't go to the invitation. Since he didn't intend to, he should stop. Although it was a bit cruel, it was better than delaying others.It seems that there will be less visits to the Xianke Tower in the future, and he can no longer do Lu Yuanqi's ghostwriting.

But within a few days, the same frost-colored letterhead was delivered to him again, and this time it was actually brought in by the turtle god for him.

Lord Lingyuan handed the letter to him, and said: "Just now I saw a man at the door, he knew me as your personal bodyguard, and asked me to help you deliver this thing."

Ruan Mengshen took the letter, instead of looking at the turtle god, he just nodded and said: "I see, thank you, you can go."

Lord Lingyuan didn't move, looked at the "Mr. Ruan's personal letter" on the envelope, and asked: "Don't you hurry up and read what is written? This letter is still fragrant, and it smells good."

Ruan Dong'er, who was scrubbing the flower table at the side, laughed and said, "You can't even think of this? Of course, this is a love letter from someone else to our young master. He can guess what is written without reading it, so he didn't bother to read it."

Lord Lingyuan twitched his eyebrows: "The one at the door just now was your admirer?" If I had known it earlier, I wouldn't have delivered the letter for him.

Ruan Meng said with a deep headache, "Don't talk nonsense."

He opened the letter, and found that this time it was not a love note like last time, but a farewell letter. Yun Shu wrote at the end of the letter: "I dare not ask for more affection from the king, but only as a confidant. Now I will marry you." Merchant woman, it will be rare to see you again in the future."

The tortoise god wanted to come over to have a look, but was pushed away by Ruan Mengshen. He put on a master's style and said seriously: "Turtle god, when I don't go out, do you have nothing to do? Except me in this mansion , you are the most leisurely, isn't it a bit unfair to spend the money of my Ruan Mansion?"

Lingyuan Jun blinked: "I don't need your money."

Ruan Mengshen said helplessly: "I mean, you should find something to do instead of hanging around me all the time." I saw you in my dream, and it was you when I woke up.

He thought for a while, and suggested: "The Mid-Autumn Festival banquet is being prepared in the Tianfu, and everyone is busy making arrangements. Can you help?"

Lord Lingyuan is not stupid: "My duty is to protect you, and it's no good for me to help them."

"May I give you some more money?"

"I don't need money anymore." Lord Lingyuan refused.

"You don't want to buy more of that... erotic pictures?"

Lord Lingyuan said: "Now I have used these two books very much." There are still many contents that have not been practiced in the dream.

Ruan Mengshen turned back depressed, and stopped talking.

Seeing his appearance, Lingyuan moved slightly, and asked, "If I go to help instead of wandering around here, will you be happier?"

"I will definitely feel much more comfortable." Ruan Mengshen replied honestly.

Lord Lingyuan suddenly felt a little hurt, but in order to make Ruan Mengshen feel at ease, he still went out.

Ruan Mengshen took advantage of the fact that everyone was busy and no one was paying attention to him, so he sneaked out of the mansion, took the letter and went to the appointment.The main reason is that he really doesn't want the turtle god to follow him anymore. He suspects that it's because he gets along too much with him that he keeps dreaming about him.

In the Cyclamen House——

Ruan Mengshen once took a look at Yun Shu's appearance from a distance, but he had never been alone with her so closely.

Yun Shu was wearing a water-red dress with elegant makeup, and she was indeed a beautiful lady.She sat at the table and looked at Ruan Mengshen at the same level, with a happy expression on her face, not as shy as her little daughter.

She smiled and said: "Young Master Ruan is still young, but he has a good demeanor."

Ruan Mengshen said: "Miss loves you." He spoke with a smile, polite but distant.

Seeing him like this, Yun Shu couldn't help sighing softly, and said, "Aren't you wondering why I knew those lines were written by you, and why I invited you here?"

Ruan Mengshen said: "Actually, those words and sentences were not all written by me. I chose the words and made the sentences, but the affection for the girl came from brother Lu. Although my brother Lu seemed a bit spoiled and playful, he was sincere to Miss Yunshu." Sincerely."

"I understand," Yun Shu said, "but after Mr. Lu is a prime minister, he has the capital to squander his sincerity, and he can turn back at any time after his recklessness. How much time do I have to play around with him?"

After Ruan Meng heard the words, she was silent for a while before she opened her mouth and said, "The girl said in the letter that she is leaving the Xianke Tower?"

Yun Shu raised his jaw, showing a smile that could not be seen as sad or happy: "He is a wealthy businessman, he can afford it, and he is willing to pay the ransom for me, and he is more refined and cultivated than most businessmen, and he is not ashamed. Wouldn't it be my best choice to care about family background like an official's son?"

"I've never been in a relationship with a girl, but knowing her from poetry, I thought that a girl would not depend on others for her life."

"A woman's heart is higher than the sky, and the sky does not allow women to have wings. The world is like this, so what can I do?" Yun Shu said: "Mr. Well, as a woman, and a woman in this situation, she is no longer young."

Ruan Mengshen was touched in his heart, and sighed: "All kinds of things in this world are indeed too unfair to women. But girl, you are so talented, you definitely don't rely on your appearance to gain a foothold, and you don't have to worry too much about your age."

Yun Shu shook his head and chuckled. Ruan Mengshen had seen this smile before. The second sister also showed such an expression before she got married. Fortunately, Mr. Wei is a gentleman, and the Wei family and the Ruan family are on good terms. Not upset.

Yun Shu said: "Those are all elegant and glamorous gimmicks. If there is no skin to add color, who will buy my so-called talent again?"

Seeing that Ruan Mengshen's expression darkened slightly, she felt that the topic was too dull, so she didn't continue, and only invited him to drink tea and chat about some poetry and essays.

After talking, Ruan Mengshen felt more and more that this Yun Shu girl was open-minded and unique, and if it wasn't for the constraints of men and women, she was indeed a good teacher, helpful friend, and confidant.

The two were chatting, but someone knocked on the door and came in from outside. It was the second innkeeper of the Xianke Building. He laughed and said, "Mr. Ruan, I don't know how your chat with Miss Yun Shu is going? There is a distinguished guest outside who wants to find a girl. So this..."

Yun Shu said, "Who is it?"

The second shopkeeper narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "It's your old master Yuan, your future backer, you can't be neglected."

Ruan Mengshen stood up and said: "We had a very happy conversation with Miss Yun Shu today, we have been bothering you for a long time, it's time to say goodbye now." He clasped his fists as he spoke, and was about to leave.

"Wait," Yun Shu saw that he was about to leave, and said anxiously, "Mr. Ruan, wait a moment. I have something to give to you." She looked at Ruan Mengshen, and in her bright almond eyes, the affection that she had tried so hard to hide finally couldn't help it. reveal.

She took out an embroidery bag from her sleeve and handed it to Ruan Mengshen, forced herself to laugh and said, "This is the calligraphy that Mr. Ruan forgot to take away when he was helping Mr. Lu to write for Mr. Lu last time. It was left in the box. Now give it back to Mr. Lu."

Ruan Mengshen could only not look at her expression, he took the things, saluted, thanked her, and left.

Yun Shu stood where he was, watching the elegant figure go away, his heart was at a loss, and he could only sigh.

Ruan Mengshen went out of the gate of Xianke Tower, and found that the tortoise god had come after him at some point, and was standing outside the gate, staring at him resentfully with his eyes behind the mask.

The melancholy just now changed immediately. Ruan Mengshen walked up to him and said helplessly, "Why did you follow?"

"Shouldn't I follow you? Are you cheating me and causing me to lose my job if you deliberately leave me like this?" In fact, God Lord Lingyuan doesn't need such a boring job at all. Ruan Meng felt ashamed of him.

Because Ruan Mengshen has been having dreams related to the tortoise god recently, he just wants to avoid him. Whenever he sees him, he feels uncomfortable.

Seeing that he didn't look guilty at all, Mr. Lingyuan couldn't help but said awkwardly: "I know now that this Xianke Tower is the legendary Qinlou Chu Pavilion, a place where such things are done, are you sneaking away? Came out to practice with others? There can only be two Taoist companions, and there can be no other people."

Ruan Mengshen was confused: "What nonsense are you talking about? I just came to meet a friend."

Lord Lingyuan was furious, and there was a sour feeling in his heart, which tasted like the vinegar soup cooked by the strong girl Ruan Donger.

After returning to the room at night, Ruan Mengshen opened the kit, took out the neatly folded paper inside, unfolded it and looked at it by candlelight, it was indeed his own handwriting.

At that time, Yun Shu didn't propose a topic, and only let the guests write freely. Everyone praised Yun Shu's beauty and talent, but Ruan Mengshen wrote: "Guests go to the banquet in Xianlou, and the glitz is on the eyebrows. If you throw money and jade, who will lament your daughter?" Disaster."

No wonder she would tell herself about the hardships of a woman today. Maybe she regards herself as a rare and caring person, but she can only be her unfavorable person.

Ruan Mengshen put away the disappointment in her heart, put away the kit, turned off the lights and settled the tent, turned over and lay on the bed, and entered into the daily entanglement before going to bed.

"Don't have that kind of dream again." Ruan Mengshen prayed in her heart, for fear of entering that embarrassing dream. The dream is fake, but the feeling on her body is real. That feeling is really... so depraved.

But drowsiness was unstoppable, and he still slowly fell asleep when sleepiness struck.

Ruan Mengshen felt that he had entered a strange space. This place was like a jade cave, with a green color and a warm and pleasant atmosphere, which made him feel sleepy. He just lay on the ground, unwilling to move, just wanting to sleep well. last sleep.

At this time, someone touched his face lightly. He opened his eyes reluctantly, and saw the face of the tortoise god who was close at hand. The tortoise god who didn't have a turtle on his face was indeed very handsome, with those deep blue pupils. Being so close, Ruan Mengshen couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat.

He and Lingyuan looked at each other for a long while, turned over in despair, and decided to close their eyes and ignore him, if he wanted to do something, then do it, anyway, he will always succeed in the end.

After such a movement, he realized that he was half submerged in the water. The warm and shallow water only covered his back and wet his clothes and hair, and the wet clothes on his body were really... It's just a thin cloud-and-mist shirt, which can't cover anything when it's wet by the water.

"It's okay, this is a dream." Ruan Mengshen hypnotized herself in despair.But he still couldn't help spurning himself: I'm really getting more and more unscrupulous, it's nothing more than dreaming, the scene is getting more and more promiscuous, and those who are close to ink are black, it must be Lu Yuanqi and the others.

Lord Lingyuan sat next to Ruan Mengshen, and opened the book at hand. Today's section is called "Thin Luosha'er covers the delicate body, and the honey red lips overflow with tender chants; ".

Ah, it's wonderful.

Lord Lingyuan looked at the beautiful scenery in front of him, and felt very comfortable in his heart. The dream he created was really exquisite, and the vivid and fragrant person was a thousand times more wonderful than in the book.

Lord Lingyuan threw the book into the water and put his hand on Ruan Mengshen's back.

This touch made Ruan Mengshen tremble all over, feeling bad, because this feeling was so real, it seemed like it happened in reality, and why couldn't he wake up even though he knew it was a dream?

Of course he didn't expect that this was a dream created by Lord Lingyuan with his spiritual power and consciousness. He was pulled into it, and the dream maker wouldn't let him out, so he would never wake up.

Alas, too bad.

Although he really didn't want to admit it, Ruan Mengshen in the dream seemed to have gotten used to the touch of the tortoise god, and the movements when it landed on his body were very green, but it made him feel... very comfortable.

Ruan Mengshen lay on his side with his back to Lingyuan, feeling the closeness of the person behind him. He had never done this kind of thing with anyone, and he almost never thought about it, but now he couldn't resist it, and even became a little addicted to it.

He panted, feeling the heat fill him up, driving away the suspicious itch in his bones.

"Ah... Turtle God..." Ruan Mengshen frowned, gave up struggling, stretched out his hand to hook the other party's neck, and there was a sigh of admiration from his lips.

The turtle god kissed his face and said in a low voice: "You are so strange. I thought you would hate it, but you seem to like it very much. The emotions in this dream are all real. Tell me, do you like it?" Doesn’t it really depend on the face if you don’t like it?”

Ruan Mengshen shook her head in confusion, and murmured: "It's so real, the turtle god is just as real..."

Lord Lingyuan's eyes lit up, and he leaned over to listen to what he had to say. Ruan Mengshen continued: "It's as abnormal as the real thing."

"..." Lord Lingyuan bit him angrily, but Ruan Mengshen trembled, as if he was dissatisfied that the other party was still not moving, so he slumped down and pressed Lingyuan even tighter.

Seeing this, Lord Lingyuan stopped talking nonsense, practice is the most important thing, he embraced the other party's slender and flexible waist, and worked hard.

The more comfortable he was, the more sinful Ruan Mengshen felt in his heart. He hummed dejectedly: "I'm getting worse, getting worse and worse."

Lingyuan also gradually lost his breath, and he said in a low voice: "You will not be broken, practice with me, and soak in this spiritual liquid, your bones will only get better and better. You can even go to the sky and become a little fairy."

Ruan Meng didn't understand these inexplicable nonsense, he bit his lip, trembling slightly, he was about to be unbearable.

At this critical juncture, the oppressive feeling behind him suddenly disappeared. He opened his eyes in confusion, and there was darkness in front of him. He moved and found that he was no longer in the cave just now, but the bed in his room collapsed. superior.

He was lying in the dark with an unbelievable expression on his face, and he woke up today?But, why do I have to wake up at such a time, I still... He blushed and trembled his hands, trying to express the unbearable swelling, but as soon as he stretched out his hands, the image of a turtle god appeared in his mind, He quickly stopped, no, absolutely not when he was awake.

Ruan Mengshen meditated in his heart, forcing himself to calm down.
