Gu Baiyu made a move.

She could probably think of why Gu Ruanruan went to Shuanghong.

Probably because she felt that Shuanghong was in trouble here, and she was isolated and helpless in the house, so she could win over her.

Gu Baiyu didn't care much about these.

However, Gu Ruanruan had just gotten married and was so impatient to leave the house. What on earth was he doing to do it?

"Do you know where she went?"

Lingyu glanced at Gu Baiyu with some embarrassment, "Sorry madam, the secret guard from before also left the house with us today. I didn't expect that she would go out suddenly today. I only found out after I came back and asked the concierge. of."

Gu Baiyu thought for a moment and realized that it was not Lingyu's fault, so he waved his hand, "It's okay, it's good that you noticed this."

She stood up and prepared to ask Xiao Yanlin.

As far as she knew, Xiao Yanlin had an informant on the second prince's side. If Gu Ruanruan went to find the second prince, he should be more vigilant, but if it was for other matters, he could just tell him the truth.

in the study.

Xiao Yanlin was fine.

The generals under him are also very knowledgeable. They only came to see him yesterday because of important matters. At other times, they would not bother him at this stall, so they only casually read some official business in the study.

When he heard that a servant came to report that Gu Baiyu was here, he asked the servant to bring Gu Baiyu in.

This is Gu Baiyu's first visit to Xiao Yanlin's study.

The layout of Xiao Yanlin's study was just like Xiao Yanlin himself, neat and capable, with no superfluous things and only a large desk.

On both sides are two simple bookcases with some military books on them.

All the official work was neatly placed on the large desk. Gu Baiyu even saw some reviewed papers put together, and a few unreviewed papers. He should not be in a hurry to reply.

"Have you disturbed Mr. Hou?"

"No, come here and sit."

Gu Baiyu walked to the desk and felt a little embarrassed. Xiao Yanlin asked her to sit over there, but behind the desk, there was only Xiao Yanlin's wooden chair.

Before she could think too much, Xiao Yanlin suddenly stretched out from the side, pulled the person in front of her, and then naturally made the person sit on her lap.

Gu Baiyu suddenly felt embarrassed and struggled slightly, "Master Marquis, this is the study..."

Seeing Gu Baiyu's reluctance, Xiao Yanlin kissed her near the ear and stood up.

"You sit here."

He pushed Gu Baiyu down on his seat, while he stood up and took out something from the bookcase on the side.

"I heard from dad that when you were in the mansion, you also liked calligraphy and paintings. I ordered people to collect these. The paper, pens, and ink are all of high quality. Take a look and see if you like them. Inkstone I also ordered someone to find a good one, and when you get there, you can see if you like it."

Xiao Yanlin was not good at this. In the past, he would use whatever he could find, and he would use whatever the housekeeper bought.

But now that he has a wife he likes at home, and she likes these things, he naturally has to rush to please her.

Gu Baiyu only felt warm at first, but when she saw the ink strips with gold seals and stroked the thin paper under her hands, she felt so surprised.

"Master Hou, did you find this ink on purpose? There is also this kind of rice paper, which is very complicated to work with and is rare even in Kyoto..."

Seeing that Gu Baiyu liked it, Xiao Yanlin also became happy.

"Well, the paper is not troublesome. I asked for the ink from His Majesty. Your Majesty still has a lot of it, so just use it."

Gu Baiyu could tell at a glance that the piece of ink had an extraordinary origin and was a tribute.

She once used it in the palace of Concubine Zhou. It is not easy to smudge and is extremely smooth. It is the best ink. Even Concubine Zhou has only one piece of it, and it was a gift from His Majesty.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Yanlin got so many for her!

And listening to his casual tone...

Gu Baiyu's heart moved and he said to Xiao Yanlin, "It seems that the harmonious relationship between the Marquis and His Majesty is not just an act."

Xiao Yanlin nodded and did not hide anything.

"Your Majesty is a wise king, and in his eyes, I am just a rough man who likes gold and silver treasures. As long as I don't overstep in political matters, and as long as I don't show monopoly in military power... Generally speaking, Your Majesty is still a very good person. Get along.”

That means that as long as Xiao Yanlin does not covet Emperor Ye's military power and becomes the loyal sword in Emperor Ye's hand, Emperor Ye will be very kind to him.

Hearing this, Gu Baiyu could understand Xiao Yanlin even more.

I understand why he knew clearly that the wounded soldiers under his command had such a hard time after leaving the military camp, but he was unwilling to help.

No one has it easy. Xiao Yanlin seems to be beautiful, and the Hou Mansion seems to be beautiful, but they are under the premise of not overstepping their bounds.

Now Gu Baiyu was a little worried.

"Master Hou, now that I have married into the Hou family, if those wounded soldiers are known to others, will it make people feel inappropriate?"

"It doesn't matter, just do whatever you want."

Xiao Yanlin didn't explain much, but Gu Baiyu seemed to have taken a reassurance.

She knew that Xiao Yanlin was not the kind of person who asked for help. Since he said there was no problem, then it was no problem.

She followed her previous approach and did not take the initiative to help, but if someone asked her for help, she did not have to refuse.

"Don't worry about these things. I heard that my wife is very good at painting. Now that I have some free time, why don't I draw one so that I can hang it in the study room so that I can show off when the brothers in the military camp come."

Xiao Yanlin said it so straightforwardly that Gu Baiyu covered his lips and started laughing.

"Master Hou is really...why do you pretend to be such a warrior every day?"

Xiao Yanlin said indifferently: "I am a warrior who doesn't know how to adapt. It is understandable that I am simple-minded."

Gu Baiyu glanced at him, Xiao Yanlin was not innocent.

At least he is not a reckless man who can only lead troops as outsiders think.

He is thoughtful, courageous and resourceful, but he is just pretending to others.

But since her husband had such a request, she didn't mind showing off.

In the art of painting, Gu Baiyu is best at landscape painting.

Don't worry, Gu Baiyu is just a housewife. She has traveled a lot and seen very few scenery. But perhaps because she has never really seen it, her brain has given her endless imagination. The landscapes she paints are better than others. A little more agile.

Painting landscapes requires grandeur. Fortunately, the rice paper Xiao Yanlin found was very large, hard to find, and more worthy of her careful painting.

When Gu Baiyu was writing, he didn't like to talk, so Xiao Yanlin didn't bother him and just watched quietly from the side.

At first I was looking at paintings, but later on I was just looking at people.

Look at the way she concentrates on writing, look at her painting with knowledge in mind, look at her quiet temperament that seems to be integrated with the drawing paper...

No matter how you look at it, no matter which side you look at, it seems that this person is just right and good for his heart.

After finishing a painting, Gu Baiyu breathed a long sigh of relief, took out his personal seal from his arms, put some ink pad on it, and pressed it on the corner of the painting.

Not to be outdone, Xiao Yanlin took out his seal and said, "Madam, do you mind if I take advantage of it too?"

Of course Gu Baiyu didn't mind.

So Xiao Yanlin also put his seal next to Gu Baiyu.

The two seals, with different sizes and different carving techniques, look extremely harmonious when printed together.

Xiao Yanlin looked at this landscape painting, and the more he looked at it, the more satisfied he became. He immediately ordered the housekeeper to find the best craftsman in the city to hang the painting properly.

Seeing him mobilizing troops and mobilizing people, Gu Baiyu's face felt a little hot, "It's not a masterpiece by a famous artist. Why did the Marquis spend so much time on it?"

Xiao Yanlin shook his head: "Madam doesn't understand. If I hadn't promised Madam before and said I would hang this in the study, I would not take it out. I only want one person to keep it and appreciate it."

Xiao Yanlin looked straight at Gu Baiyu, his eyes gentle and affectionate.

What he said was that he wanted to monopolize this painting, but Gu Baiyu always felt that Xiao Yanlin's gaze seemed to want to monopolize her forever...

Being looked at like this made her feel a little embarrassed, and turned her face away as if she couldn't bear it.

She didn't dare to look at Xiao Yanlin again.

They were obviously married and had skin-to-skin contact, but this look at each other still made her heart feel a little unbearable.

Then Gu Baiyu finally remembered the purpose of looking for Xiao Yanlin today.

She told Xiao Yanlin about Gu Ruanruan's departure from the palace today, and wanted him to pay attention to whether Gu Ruanruan went to see the second prince, so that nothing bad would happen again.

Xiao Yanlin nodded and agreed.

"I'll ask someone to ask, you don't have to worry."

Xiao Yanlin came over: "Go for a walk in the yard and then have dinner. Go to bed early tonight. It's time to go back tomorrow."
