Vol 5 Chapter 27: Be careful with nails (high sweetness)

"Oh -" Ming Lan screamed in surprise, Gu Yunxi's back tightened uncomfortably with her soft and sharp voice.
"Supervisor—"
Qin Zhong's eyes were quick and quick, seeing Ming Lan head down and got out of the carriage, quickly propped his arm to pick it up. The man caught it, but the brand new short velvet top hat on his head fell to the ground, covered with dust.
When Minglan stood firm, Qin Zhong picked up the admiral's hat from the ground, and after repeatedly squeezing it, he held it to Minglan.
He knew that his superintendent's love for cleanliness was close to being obsessive about cleanliness. The brand-new black hat was stained with ashes, and the dirty color made him see that he was going to be furious.
"...Supervisor, your official hat..."
With his eyes down, he handed the high hat to Ming Lan, Qin Zhong's expression was so embarrassed.
Unsurprisingly, Ming Lan held the official hat in his hand, and his bright black pupils suddenly shrank into two small spots, and the whole face, which was so white that there was no trace of blood, finally turned a thick layer of red.
Turning his eyes and staring at Gu Yunxi, he was seeing her quietly retreating to the side to watch the excitement, her delicate and slender chin was slightly raised, and her pink lips were lightly raised, and the look of forbearance and arrogance really made him angry. But also fascinated by it.
"Guan'er Yun, I think you are tired and crooked..."
"Huh! Deserve it, to be a cocoon and to reap the consequences!" She gave him a blank look and said to herself in relief.
"There is a kind of you say it again?!" Ming Lan yelled fiercely, angrily widening his eyes.
Gu Yunxi tilted his head with contempt, suddenly remembered something when he embraced his arms, and sneered:
"Don't say it again, it's okay to say it ten thousand times! I don't have a seed, you have one? Show it to me!"
"You--" Ming Lan was choked to speechless, his face changed from red to purple.
At this moment, Qin Zhong was possessed like a fierce and evil spirit, and rushed to Gu Yunxi with a muffled voice and slapped him violently, carrying a cold and oppressive wind.
The superintendent of his own house is being teased by a boy who has no hair. How can he stand by as a close attendant?
Qin Zhong is a martial artist with a fast palm. If this palm falls on Gu Yunxi's weak and slender body, not to mention the bones are broken, at least he will vomit blood.
Gu Yunxi knew that he couldn't avoid the attack of Qin Zhong's palm, and he was so heartbroken that he was about to raise his arms to pick it up. The figure around him shook, raising the steel knife high, and directly holding Qin Zhong's palm with the hilt.
"Brother, don't forget that this is the East Factory, not a place where you casually go wild--"
Xiao Xiaoshen's scornful eyes swept towards Ming Lan, and then he stared at Qin Zhong, his sharp tone was like a blade, and the moment he spoke, he could easily kill him.
Upon seeing this, Qin Zhong withdrew his palm and swiftly flashed away, staring at Xiao Xiaoshen who suddenly slammed into the block, and assumed a posture that he was about to pinch him at any time.
"Is it all right?"
Xiao Xiaoshen had just rushed back from the East Factory campus. At the moment, his head was sweaty, and his whole body was sweaty.
Before it was too late to dry his forehead, he turned and looked at Gu Yunxi with a hand knife, looking at her with concern over her body.
Gu Yunxi shook his head gratefully and said nothing.
The opposite Qin Zhong slowly drew out his sword and snorted coldly to Xiao Xiaoshen:
"You little brother has no respect and inferiority, and speaks out to disobey my superintendent. How to calculate this account, you Dongchang always have to give an explanation!"
"Okay! How about I come to settle with you—"
Xiao Xiaoshen stared at Qin Zhong, holding the handle of the knife in his right hand.
Two pairs of eyes face each other quietly in the air, and a fight is about to begin
"Little Shen, don't be rude, come back!"
Two figures emerged from the gate, Ai Qing at the big head and Zao Wou-ki at the third head.
The big head is tall, with a square face, a rosy complexion, a black beard around his cheeks, and a bamboo steel whip pinned to his broad waist.
The third head turned the steel ball in his palm leisurely while walking. With the movement between the fingers, the frequent impact of the two steel is crisp and hard, and the pores all over the body are sharply tightened at the moment that people hear, and it is frightened for no reason!
Da Dangtou walked up to the carriage and gave Minglan a smile:
"The governor Ming is polite. Ai Qing, who is at the head of the Xiadongchang factory, was young and did not understand the rules. They ran into the governor and asked the governor Haihan."
Minglan ignored him and stood in front of the carriage with his back hand and summoned his attendant Qin Zhong.
Determined to look at Gu Yunxi, he raised his thin eyebrows and put on a soft and ambiguous smile:
"Fine, today the governor was here to visit Father Leng. Since the father-in-law is not there, the governor will return to the mansion first. Yun Guaner, the governor has just played with you just now, don't be offended."
What, kidding? Just now I was so aggressive and wanted to hit someone, so I turned around and thought about the understatement of the word "playing"?
Gu Yunxi pressed his lips tightly, staring silently at the deep and complicated smile left by Xiang Minglan at the corner of his mouth.
The eyebrows were closed, and there was a faint throbbing in my heart.

On the carriage, Minglan closed his eyes and rested.
Qin Zhong sat aside, holding Minglan's official hat in his arms. Minglan disliked it because it was stained with soil, and threw it directly to the attendant, bald her head, revealing her black hair in a bun.
"Supervisor, the kid Yun Guan'er looked honest, but he was full of wicked ideas. He almost made you fall off the carriage just now. Why didn't you let me teach him a lesson."
"Good men don't fight with women, nothing more."
Minglan still closed his eyes, only smiled emptily, and his mind was full of Gu Yunxi's beautiful smiling face, until this picture that made him infinitely memorable was shattered by the harsh shouts beside him:
"What? Governor, you said he was a woman—"
"Hi...what are you screaming nonsense!"
Ming Lan opened his eyes irritably and flew a soap boot to kick Qin Zhong's calf.
"The subordinate knew it was wrong... But how do you know that she is a female?"
Minglan opened his eyes and looked straight ahead, explaining with a triumphant expression:
"Just now, when the Governor deliberately pulled her close, she could see very clearly, her left and right ears were pierced all over. Even if she was raised as a delicate boy, at most there would be one ear pierced on both sides of her left earlobe. Who else but the girl’s house? Not to mention..."
"What's more?"
Qin Zhong was listening attentively, Ming Lan suddenly paused and couldn't help asking.
"What's more, the spies have brought back news recently. Two months ago, Leng Qingtang left Dongchang for a few days. Although he was accompanied by an official sedan on the night he returned, he rode back to Dongchang all the way. At that time, the governor was Yongning. The father-in-law of the palace had been ordered by the imperial concubine to pass on Leng Qingtang to the palace many times in the East Factory. He remembered very clearly what happened at that time! It was also at that time that the little figure Yun Guaner appeared in the East Factory! If the Governor was right, Leng Qingtang was riding a horse that night, and it was his apprentice Yun Guan'er that was carried in the sedan chair."
"If he is a woman, then who is she? Why did Grandpa Leng hide her in the East Factory?"
The more he listened to Qin Zhong, the more chaotic his thoughts became, and the more chaotic he became, the more curious he became.
Minglan sneered: "This governor also wants to know the true identity of Guan Yun, to see how powerful she is, so that the cold-hearted admiral of the Dongchang can also start the idea of ​​pitying Xiangxiyu! Qin Zhong, the key I have to start from the Gongyuan side!"
Qin Zhong's face was distressed, and he couldn't help but grumble:
"Supervisor, there have always been people from the East Factory who personally supervise on that end, our people really can't get in..."
Minglan smiled faintly after hearing it, and said lightly:
"It doesn't matter. If you can't install it, don't install it. Think of a way... Let the Gongyuan be taken over by our West Factory."

As soon as Leng Qingtang came back, he heard Xiao Xiaoshen report Minglan's troubles outside the East Factory. When he came to visit Gu Yunxi, he saw her smashing walnuts at the table to vent his anger.
Seeing the superintendent, she looked at the messy walnut scum on the table again, her small face was suddenly suffocated, aggrieved and angry, a pair of clear apricot-core eyes filled with sparkling water mist, called People feel distressed after seeing their heartbeat.
Sitting steadily, Leng Qingtang asked Gu Yunxi to explain the confrontation between her and Ming Lan on the spot. At the end of hearing, his face sank like water, and the light surging in his deep black eyes, chilling everywhere.
"Supervisor..."
Gu Yunxi only glanced at his stagnant eyes, and was stung by the cold and gloomy energy until his body trembled suddenly. The gurgling blood in his body seemed to stop flowing in an instant.
Quietly and silently, Leng Qingtang dismissed his anger on his own, his gentle and jade face was as calm as ever, with an elegant and casual smile.
"Girl, you did a little bit right this time, do you know where it is?"
Gu Yunxi looked at him and shook his head ignorantly.
"You were willing to smile at him, which made him easily relax his vigilance. If there is no close attendant, it is estimated that Minglan would have fallen hard after being pulled off the carriage by you..."
"He deserves it!" Without waiting for the superintendent to finish speaking, Gu Yunxi couldn't wait to curse, and his eyes were filled with lingering hatred.
Leng Qingtang looked at her, was silent for a moment, and said suddenly:
"Girl, don't expose your happiness and anger to your eyes at will. Remember, the most powerful weapon against opponents you can't deal with is smile! Laughter can help you conceal hatred and murder, protect you, and help you become stronger. The enemy was put to death first."
Leng Qingtang finished speaking calmly, but his tone was not tolerant. He clearly meant to teach his apprentice to relax and keep calm.
Gu Yunxi heard seven points, and three points still need to be understood and digested slowly. The shallow wrinkles folded between the eyebrows slowly unfolded, and she cast a smile at the governor, describing her cuteness:
"Yun Xi understands, Xie Duzhu for his advice."
Leng Qingtang nodded with a smile, and looked at the messy desktop again:
"What are you doing?"
"Smash the peach kernel, then grind it into a powder and mix it with white icing sugar. It will be the Double Ninth Festival in a few days. It's time to make flower cakes!"
Leng Qingtang only felt incredible, and said with a laugh:
"If you want peach kernels, just send someone to buy them on the street. Why bother with this effort?"
"What I bought is different from what I made by myself!"
Gu Yunxi tilted his head and glanced at the superintendent, his clear and sweet voice picked up slightly, but it was naughty but also sultry.
After that, she stopped speaking, and lightly raised her little cherry mouth, and squeezed her palm-sized hammer to continue.
Leng Qingtang sat next to him with interest, watching her knock a few walnuts in one hand and a hammer in the other, then put down the tools, and then peeled off the broken walnut skin with her white fingers, dexterously plucking out the skin. The peach kernel inside.
Leng Qingtang just peeled two walnuts and couldn't stand it anymore, and raised his hand to stop her.
"Don't peel it, watch your nails hurt. You can't rest and talk with me?"
The soft tone contained a hint of euphemism.
He put his two warm and soft hands into his palms, and he looked down.
The blisters on the little hands have all disappeared, and the shallow dry skin is almost gone, but fortunately there are no calluses or scars left.
But after peeling a lot of walnuts, at this moment these delicate and green fingers are all glowing reddish, and the soft finger pads are covered with hard and rough walnut skin with many small marks of different shades.
Leng Qingtang's heart suddenly softened, and her big hand gently rubbed her small hand, smoothing out the dense pits on her fingers and the walnut crumbs on her hand.
After years of walking in the officialdom, he was cautious and walking on thin ice. He has long been accustomed to wearing various masks for himself in order to deal with the swords and shadows and intrigues that occur at any time in the power competition.
As time goes by, those masks cling to his true face that still has skin temperature and tactile sensation like rooting, and they accumulate more and more, so that he can't breathe.
Even more often, even he himself couldn't distinguish clearly, which of these many faces was his real face.
Gu Yunxi, this charming little girl, who is as sweet as a strand of spring water, is the only one who can make him willing to let go of the cold and rigid fake face, not only showing her true face, but also willing to treat her with truth. The person who holds her warm in his palm.
With her company by his side, he is completely able to take off all guards. Only at this moment can he find himself and feel that he is a flesh and blood, alive person, or the one who had seven passions and six desires and was truly alive Hua Nanhe— —
Gu Yunxi sat stupidly, feeling the warmth from those solid and powerful hands, his ears gradually curled up with a dry red.
It was not the first time that he held his hands with his big hands, but his heartbeat had never been as intense as it is today.
Along with the intensifying heartbeat, an unspeakable peculiar feeling rippled from the bottom of Gu Yunxi's heart.
At this moment, she was nervous but also a little worried, whether such a dull heartbeat would be heard by the superintendent, and from then on, her complicated and unspeakable thoughts would be difficult to hide from him
With crystal clear and shallow eyes flashing, Gu Yunxi looked at the face of Supervisor Guanyu in shame and quickly moved to the side.
After taking a few breaths, the slippery little hands escaped quietly from the warm palms. She pursed her lips and lowered her head, smiled astringently, and hid her little hand behind her back. :,,
