Chapter 43: Visiting the door

Yes, why have you forgotten this? Ruan Geng's eyes flashed with light and he straightened his back. Except for himself, in the eyes of everyone except himself, Ruan Mianmian is just a three-year-old girl. At most, she is smarter than others.

"Mianmian, what do you mean?"

"The soldiers have come to cover up the water and the earth. If I can't hide it anymore, then I will show off." Ruan Mianmian winked mischievously and said with a smile.

"I think it's better for you to restrain yourself. Being too conspicuous will always cause trouble." Ruan Geng warned with a smile on his face.

"In that case, Ruan Yi, arrange a suitable person to protect the young lady personally, and listen to her orders."

"As ordered, Ruan Jiu." As soon as Ruan called, a black figure appeared in the room.

Ruan Mianmian was very surprised: "Hey, she turns out to be a sister."

"Old Marquis, Ruan Jiu is a woman, it is most suitable for her to follow the young lady."

"Yes, it's quite appropriate." Ruan Geng said in a serious tone, "Ruan Jiu, from now on, you will be the lady's personal maid. Remember, your task is to protect the lady, and her safety depends entirely on you."

"Don't worry, Mr. Ruan Jiu, even if he dies, he must complete the mission and ensure the safety of the young lady."

"It's not that serious." Ruan Mianmian waved her little hands beside her.

"Subordinate Ruan Jiu, I have met the young lady."

Ruan Mianmian looked at it curiously. Ruan was ninety-five or six years old, with a delicate appearance and a slight smile on her lips. She looked weak and weak, but who would have thought that such an ordinary little woman could be a master?

.

"What was your original name?"

"My name is Ruan Jiu."

"Well, if you are with me, it would be inappropriate for you to call me this name." Ruan Mianmian thought for a while, "I have a sister Shuang'er next to me, so I will call you sister Jiu'er."

"I can't bear to call you 'sister'. My servant Jiu'er has met you before." Ruan Jiu's role changed very quickly.

Ruan Mianmian smiled and stretched out her hand to help Ruan Jiu up: "No need to be polite, I don't have such big rules. You will know it if you have more contact with me in the future."

"Thank you, miss." Jiu'er said respectfully.

"Grandpa, it's not good for me to take sister Jiu'er back directly." Ruan Mianmian's implicit intention was to ask Ruan Geng to arrange a suitable identity for her.

"You go back first. Later, your grandmother will give you a first-class personal maid."

"Okay, let's get down to business now." Ruan Mianmian suddenly became serious, "Grandpa, how long is the deadline left before the emperor gives each department to complete the Rubik's Cube?"

"The deadline is in three days."

"Okay." Ruan Mianmian's eyes rolled around a few times with a calculating look on his face, "Grandpa, should I wait passively or take the initiative?"

Ruan Geng found that Ruan Mianmian was like a little fox: "Stop being so pretentious and tell me, what about waiting passively? What about taking the initiative?"

Ruan Mianmian squeezed to her grandfather's side and whispered in his ear. Ruan Geng couldn't help but nod.

"Grandpa can just follow the plan?"

"Really?"

"Don't worry, they will definitely do what I expected when the time comes."

"Okay, that's it, you go back and get ready first."

"No need to prepare. Grandpa should prepare it in advance." Ruan Mianmian turned around and took two books from the bookshelf before leaving.

Ruan Yi and Ruan Jiu looked at each other in confusion. What kind of riddle were they playing?

"Ruan Jiu doesn't need to get involved. Go back and tidy up. We'll go to the Yanlong Courtyard later." Ruan Geng ordered.

"Yes." Ruan Jiu agreed and stepped out.

After Ruan Geng lowered his voice and told Ruan a few words, he quickly disappeared without a trace.

Ruan Geng found that he was really old. He was afraid of wolves in front and tigers in the back. He had lost the energy he had when he was young. He was far less decisive than Ruan Mianmian in handling seemingly simple things.

An hour later, the first-class personal maid that Mrs. Ruan awarded to Ruan Mianmian came to Yanlongyuan. From then on, she not only had Shuang'er but also Jiu'er.

With the help of interested people, the news that the person who solved the Western Rubik's Cube was Qin Ruolan spread to everyone in the streets and alleys.

Rumors are flying all over the sky. Some people praise Qin Ruolan for being smart, some people don't believe it at all, and even more people are half-convinced.

After Princess Jing's poetry meeting, new rumors spread, but they only spread within a small area. It was said that three-year-old Ruan Mianmian solved the Rubik's Cube. It was too incredible, and the rumors were quickly suppressed.

Chen Wanyu moved back to Hengwuyuan on the night she returned home from the poetry festival. This time, she had to move out and then move back on her own, which was a total loss of face.

Seeing Chen Wanyu lowering her figure, Ruan Chan pretended that nothing happened and stopped caring about it.

On this day, Mu Mu and Ruan Chan were taking a walk in the garden. He looked up and saw the old housekeeper of the Hou Mansion running towards him from a long distance away.

The butler came to Ruan Chan and said, "Sir, a visitor is here."

"Who's here this early in the morning?" Ruan Chan felt curious.

The old housekeeper reported: "Four ministers from the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Husbandry, the Ministry of Personnel, and the Ministry of Punishment are here to visit."

"What happened? Several adults came over at the same time. Go and report to the old Marquis."

"Sir, several adults have come to visit you," the old housekeeper explained.

Speaking of which, except for Sun Ying, the Minister of Civil Affairs, who has a long history with Ruan Chan, the other three officials are above him in rank and have no friendship. What's going on today?

Ruan Chan was uneasy, but he had no time to think too much at this moment: "I'll be here right away. Please greet a few adults and send someone to Fu'an Hall immediately to tell the old Marquis."

"Yes, I understand."

Ruan Chan turned around and ran towards Hengwu Courtyard, while the old housekeeper turned around to receive the distinguished guests.

"What's wrong? What are you doing in such a hurry?"

Chen Wanyu returned to Hengwu Courtyard for two or three days, but she and Ruan Chan did not talk to each other. When she saw him coming in, she rummaged through the boxes and cabinets and couldn't help but be curious.

"Four ministers are here to visit. Please help me change my clothes to welcome the guests."

After being stunned for a moment, Chen Wanyu came back to her senses: "Are they the adults from the Gong, Hu, Li, and Punishment Departments?"

"Yes, it's them." Ruan Chan, who was changing his clothes, suddenly stopped and looked up at Chen Wanyu, "How did you know?"

"I received a letter from the janitor." Chen Wanyu stood up and helped Ruan Chan button her shirt, lowering her head to hide the secret joy on her face.

Chen Wanyu thought secretly: It came so fast. As soon as the news was spread, people came to the door. Thank God, I was able to get one step ahead. It was just right, the time was just right.

Ruan Chan walked forward, and Chen Wanyu followed behind to the hall of the Hou Mansion.

Ruan Chan greeted the guests with a smile and exchanged greetings with several ministers. The fact that they came together really made him a little uneasy.

After some superficial talk, the Minister of Civil Affairs and Ruan Chan were friends, so he started chatting first.

It turns out that the reason why several ministers came to visit today was because of the Rubik's Cube.

"My lords, I'm really sorry. Ruan Chan has more than enough intentions but not enough energy."

"Shilang Ruan, I know there is nothing you can do, so we came to see Miss Ruolan."
