Chapter 163: Alcohol and sex are misleading, quit drinking from today
In the ancient town, there is a quiet and mysterious library. The sun shines through the colored glass windows and onto the old bookshelves, and the air is filled with the faint scent of ink and the breath of time.
On this day, Cao Rui came to the library as usual, looking for the treasures of wisdom buried by time. He was dressed in a plain robe, with an upright posture and deep and wise eyes. As he slowly walked past the rows of bookshelves, he raised his eyes inadvertently and saw Qiu Ruoyao not far away.
Qiu Ruoyao stood there quietly, like a beautiful painting. She was wearing a light blue dress, her long hair fell on her shoulders like silk, and her eyes were shining with intelligence. Her beauty was not only in her appearance, but also in the elegant temperament that emanated from her inside out.
Cao Rui's heartbeat seemed to skip a beat at that moment, and a feeling he had never had before surged into his heart. It was the shock of falling in love at first sight, and also the familiarity of feeling like old friends at first sight. He looked at Qiu Ruoyao quietly, as if time had frozen at this moment.
Qiu Ruoyao seemed to feel Cao Rui's gaze, and she turned her head slightly, her eyes meeting Cao Rui's. At that moment, both of them showed surprise and joy in their eyes, as if they saw another self in each other's eyes.
However, this wonderful encounter was accompanied by a trace of regret. Cao Rui soon saw a trace of sadness in Qiu Ruoyao's eyes, and his heart sank suddenly. After a short conversation, he learned that Qiu Ruoyao was already married. This news was like a huge rock, pressing on Cao Rui's heart.
But they did not become estranged because of this, on the contrary, they found that they both had a strong interest in medicine. So, in this library, they put aside worldly worries and immersed themselves in the discussion of medicine.
"I once read an ancient book that recorded a peculiar treatment method. Have you ever heard of it?" Cao Rui asked softly, his eyes full of anticipation.
Qiu Ruoyao frowned slightly, thought for a moment and replied: "I have also seen similar records in some old books, but I don't know much about the specific operation methods."
They shared their insights and understandings of medical skills, and every exchange made them admire each other's talents and wisdom even more.
Although they have unspeakable feelings in their hearts, they all know that this feeling can only be buried deep in their hearts. They use medical skills as a bridge and find a different kind of peace and satisfaction in this library.
As time passed, the afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the windows of the library. Cao Rui and Qiu Ruoyao had to end this unforgettable encounter. They looked at each other silently, their eyes full of reluctance.
"I benefited a lot from discussing medicine with you today. I hope we will have the opportunity to meet again in the future." Qiu Ruoyao said softly, with a hint of melancholy in her voice.
Cao Rui nodded slightly and replied with a smile: "There will definitely be a chance. I wish you all the best."
Qiu Ruoyao hesitated for a moment before saying:
"I want to find some medical books. The master has taken in many concubines but still has no children. I want to see if there is any way to relieve the master's worries."
"You are a thoughtful person."
"As a concubine, I should consider the master's interests."
Cao Rui stood up and started looking for medical books on the bookshelf.
After a while, he found several medical books on health preservation and offspring and handed them to Qiu Ruoyao.
"These books may help you."
Qiu Ruoyao took the book, gently opened it, and a hint of joy appeared in her eyes:
"Thank you uncle."
With the help of Cao Rui, Qiu Ruoyao came to the table and chairs in front of the window.
Just like that, the two of them sat quietly in the library, and the atmosphere was somewhat subtle.
When Cao Rui was reading strange stories, he would glance at Qiu Ruoyao from time to time, imagining her as a female ghost or a fox spirit that appeared at night to seduce scholars. It was really a unique experience.
Qiu Ruoyao was concentrating on reading the medical book in her hand, occasionally stealing a glance at Cao Rui, then quickly lowering her head.
It is obvious that she got more and more immersed in the role and actually studied medicine, but it was too profound and extensive, and she had no idea where to start by self-study.
Qiu Ruoyao's eyes soon became blank, looking both clear and stupid. She held the brush and looked up at the sky, her thoughts flying to who knows where.
suddenly!
Qiu Ruoyao opened her cherry-like mouth in distress and bit the pen. She seemed to have completely lost her direction and could not help but ask Cao Rui for help:
"Uncle, I have a question that I don't understand, can you teach me?"
coming.
The Green Tea Girls’ best tactic is to pretend to be ignorant or to be really ignorant, it doesn’t matter, they take the opportunity to ask their targets for advice, thus narrowing the distance.
Only the scene was changed to ancient times.
Cao Rui was equally considerate and eager to teach, so he walked over and began to explain carefully.
Qiu Ruoyao sometimes frowns, and sometimes acts as if she suddenly realizes something, giving the film enough emotional value.
Just when the atmosphere was becoming wonderful, footsteps were suddenly heard downstairs.
Qiu Ruoyao suddenly became nervous, worried that she would not be able to explain herself if others saw her and Cao Rui together.
Cao Rui also realized this and said softly:
"Don't worry, I'll go see who it is."
When Cao Rui reached the stairs, he saw a maid running up in a hurry, bowing and saying:
"Uncle Cao, my master wants you to come over quickly for something urgent."
"Lead the way."
Cao Rui looked back at Qiu Ruoyao, then left the library with the maid.
Qiu Ruoyao looked at his departing back and felt a faint sense of loss in her heart. Although the time she had just spent with Cao Rui was short, it made her feel a different kind of warmth.
Qiu Ruoyao became suspicious and limped to the window and shouted:
"Colorful beads."
"Madam, I'm here."
Caizhu, the personal maid who was hiding nearby, heard the call and immediately trotted over.
She was very pretty, with an oval face that was fair and rosy, eyes as bright as stars, and her hair combed into two cute buns dotted with a few small flowers, making her look playful and lively.
Qiu Ruoyao asked: "Caizhu, was the information you gave me before wrong? This Cao Rui is not at all like what you said."
Caizhu shook her head quickly and said anxiously:
"Madam, I am absolutely not mistaken. Cao Rui has taken in several concubines. Not only are they all beautiful, but even many of the Cao family's maids have been ruined by him."
Hearing this, Qiu Ruoyao became even more confused. She looked down at herself and muttered to herself:
"Am I not a beauty?"
"Madam, you are of course a beauty. Mr. Cao must have some concerns that prevent him from being attracted to you, or maybe he is just pretending to be a gentleman."
When Qiu Ruoyao heard this, she felt a little comforted. She bit her lip and thought about how to seduce Cao Rui next.
But it’s really embarrassing!
She shook her head, not wanting to think about it for the time being, and said:
"Caizhu, when I have my revenge, you should leave immediately, or you will suffer the consequences."
"Miss, we have been together since we were six or seven years old. I will stay by your side even if I die."
"Why bother!"
Qiu Ruoyao couldn't help but hug Caizhu tightly. Although they were master and servant in name, they had gone through many hardships and had long been like sisters.
……
Two flowers bloom, one branch each.
Cao Rui was led to the study by the maid and found that not only Chen Shuozhen was there, but also Xue Baochai. He could not help but ask:
"What happened?"
Xue Baochai frowned and said worriedly:
"Just now when I was counting the accounts in the room, a little paper man suddenly appeared in front of me, claiming to be the messenger of Fairy Jinghuan. He said that the Shen Mansion was about to encounter a disaster and asked me to prepare early so that I could take the opportunity to escape."
"What disaster?"
"It is said that there is a Guanyin Courtyard at the foot of the green mountain outside Jinling City that is particularly effective for praying for children. In fact, there is an extremely cruel and lecherous monk hiding there. Someone wants to spread the news in the Shen Mansion to lure us to pray for children so that they can take the opportunity to kill us."
"The perverted monk?"
Cao Rui's eyes lit up, and he remembered that to unlock the talent [Dumb Bully·Ziving Dead] he needed to punish 10 bullies who bullied men and women, or make 10 rapists ride on wooden donkeys.
I had made a very good plan before going down the mountain, but I didn't expect that as soon as I arrived in Jinling City, I fell into the land of pleasure and completely forgot about my business.
Alcohol and sex can mislead people!
How can he continue like this? Cao Rui decided to quit drinking from now on.
