Chapter Ninety-Nine

Qi You smiled, didn't speak, just pressed Xibao on the couch in front of the dresser, and then picked up a horn comb and began to help Xibao tie his hair, Xibao was really surprised, and hurriedly pressed Qi You's hand and said, "Master can't help it." ”

Qi You enjoyed this kind of fun between husband and wife and said with a smile: "Little thing, you are the first person who personally helped to tie your hair, and you have never done it, don't move around." ”

Xibao listened to Qi You say this, and her heart was inexplicably warm, so she smiled slightly, sat down and let Qi You help her tie her hair, the man in the bronze mirror was as warm as jade, and his face was full of spoiling to help the woman tie her hair, and the woman on the seat was also shy, like a peach blossom, a pair of mandarin ducks who envied others. After a while, Qi You tidied up Xibao's hair, just simply pulled it up, and then pinned it to the purple jade sunset hairpin, and then looked at Xibao in the mirror with a face full of peach blossom pollen, and then kissed her ear: "How is it, the master's craftsmanship is not bad!" ”

Xi Baojiao smiled: "Ye's craft is almost on the concubine's maid, I really can't believe that it is my first craft." ”

Qi You hugged Xibao's waist from behind and said, "How sour." ”

Xibao leaned on Qi You's arms and said, "Where is it sour, but the master let the concubine evaluate it." ”

Qi You laughed and said: "Bao, you are really getting bolder and bolder, and you dare to talk to the master like this, hum, you are reluctant to punish you because the master likes it, right?" ”

Xibao rubbed in Qi You's arms and said, "It's really not okay to praise a word." ”

Qi You said: "You are really boastful, the little guy can't hear it." ”

Xi Baole said: "Don't be angry, the concubine really likes it, your craftsmanship is really good." ”

Qi You said helplessly: "You, see if you like this hairpin?" ”

Xibao tilted his head and said: "I like it, I like it, I like this hairpin bracelet earrings, thank you." ”

Qi You said: "If you like it, it's not in vain." ”

Xibao got up from Qi You's arms and turned around and asked, "Master, just now the concubine wanted to ask, how much jade is used for such a complete set of jewelry, this thousand-year-old Hanchuan purple jade is very rare." ”

Qi You pinched Xibao's hand and said: "You are quite knowledgeable, this set of jewelry is indeed made of thousand-year-old Hanchuan purple jade, this object is very rare, but if you like it, it is worth it, no matter how precious and rare things are, someone has to appreciate them." ”

Xibao nodded and said, "What the master said makes sense, but why did the master suddenly give such a precious gift to the concubine?" ”

Qi You took Xibao's hand to his chest and said: "In a few days it will be your birthday, this is the birthday gift that the lord gave you, last year's birthday when the lord was out on official business and failed to catch up, this year he sent it in advance so as not to fall again, his fifth brother came back and brought a few good pieces of Hanchuan purple jade, but the amount was not enough, some time ago, the lord just got a few pieces, so I thought you liked it, so I called the shopkeeper to create such a set of things according to the way you like, it is a gift for you last year and this year, I see that you especially like to wear that white jade sunset hairpin, which is a little old, so I also built one according to the style of that hairpin, you should like it, right? ”

Xibao was about to drown by Qi You's affectionate eyes, and she said with affectionate eyes: "Master, what should you do if you call the concubine so hard, the concubine is afraid that she can't bear it!" ”

Qi You smiled and said: "You are willing to do anything for me, this little thing is just a thing, of course you can stand it, as long as you like Ye, you will be happy." ”

Xibao took the initiative to stick to Qi You's chest and said: "I like it, I like it, I like the gift of the master, the intentions of the master, and the love of the master, thank you, thank you." ”

Qi You smiled and cupped Xibao's little face and said, "Oh, why was this moved by the master, how can I get it in the future, there are more places for the master to pay attention." After that, he wiped away the tears hanging in Xibao's eyes with his thumb, and then kissed Xibao's forehead and said, "Girl, only you are worthy of understanding!" ”

Xibao nodded, satisfied, Qi You can say this today, which is enough to show that her efforts have not been in vain, just when the two of them are deeply in love, a voice came from outside the door: "The master is not early, the person you arranged has already arrived in the study of the house?" ”

Xibao was stunned and said, "Master, we've all been out all day, it's time to go back." ”

Qi You said regretfully: "I wanted to take you out here again to taste delicious food, but I didn't expect it, it's true." ”

Xibao smiled: "Master, business is important, just come out in the future, the concubine is also a little tired." ”

Qi You said: "Okay, then it can only be next time, let's go." As he spoke, he pulled Xibao to open the door and went out, and instructed as he walked: "Concubine Fang likes your craftsmanship very much, so you will be rewarded with an extra month's monthly money, and you can carry the things into the carriage." ”

The shopkeeper smiled: "It's good if the master is satisfied, thank the master for the reward." With that, he packed up the jewelry boxes himself, helped them carry them to the carriage, and respectfully watched the carriage go away.

After the carriage disappeared into the street, the shopkeeper turned around and entered the shop and said, "Today, the master is happy to give you an extra month's money." ”

The little guys all stopped their affairs and thanked: "Isn't this the light of the shopkeeper, thank the master, thank the shopkeeper." ”

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Everyone do a good job, and the rewards will not be less in the future." ”

The little guys should be kind: "You can rest assured, the shopkeeper." ”

The shopkeeper smiled and continued to enter the inner room, he is a slave and a business with the most powerful eyes, today is the first time he has seen the master treat a woman so gently and spoiledly, as early as more than a month ago he received the master's order to create a set of Hanchuan purple jade jewelry as a gift, he wondered in his heart what kind of woman can make the master so attentive, their store is a store specializing in the collection of custom sales of cherished antiquities, What strange treasures can be found, so the capital's dignitaries and nobles like to come to their store to choose precious gifts, to say that to create jewelry or the first time, because the master personally ordered them to find the most powerful jewelry master to create it personally, although this jewelry is not extremely complex patterns, but still to use the most exquisite craftsmen to create a month, mainly because the raw materials are too precious and scarce, the master of the total has six pieces, except for one reserved as a private seal, the rest are used to create this set of jewelry, It shows the importance and intentions of the master to the person who wants to give gifts, and when I saw it today, I realized that it was really the appearance of the country and the city, and there was a heroic and sassy atmosphere, such a woman was charming but not pretentious, and it should be in the eyes of the master. It seems that I will be able to see these two masters often in the future.

On the carriage back home, Xibao was always smiling, and Qi You looked at it and said comfortably: "I like the gift of the master so much?" ”

Xibao didn't twist and said: "Well, I like it, I like it very much, this is the first time that the master has given such a formal gift to the concubine, and it is the concubine's favorite purple jade." ”

Qi You said with a smile: "Ao, there are still few things that the master gave you in the past?" ”

Xibao bit his lip and said: "That's different, on weekdays, the master gave the concubine a lot of good things, but today is different, this is specially prepared by the master and has a different meaning." Xibao didn't say it too bluntly, she actually wanted to say that this is the first gift under the equality of men and women in the true sense of the word, rather than a prince's reward for a concubine, these two things are very different from Xibao, maybe in Qi You's view, his reward and gift are probably an expression of his love, but from Xibao's point of view, sending a birthday gift in the way of her husband is an affirmation of her identity and mental status, This also implies that in Qi You's heart, he also began to invisibly weaken the relationship between the king and the minister, and slowly transformed into the relationship between husband and wife, or even lover and lover, which is Xibao's happiest, although she knows in her heart that there is no only love in the emperor's house, but as a woman, she still hopes to have a different special position in the hearts of the people she likes, she hopes that her love can be responded to, and now it seems that Qi You did not disappoint her, this precious and special gift is proof, It's not just that She's happy, it's that she knows it's a good sign.

Qi You touched Xibao's head and said, "You little girl always has a lot of truth, but this greedy little man likes it very much." Although Qi You couldn't understand what Xi Bao was thinking at this time, he still found that Xi Bao cherished this gift extraordinarily, in fact, he also found that every time he gave Xi Bao something, although the little girl was very happy, she was not grateful to herself like other women, but was simply happy for those gifts, and today she was happy with herself because of these jewelry, and the happiness and happiness in her eyes were all generated because of him, Qi You formed an inexplicable sense of superiority in her heart, This little girl is only like this to him, and she cherishes this gift from him.

Qi You's helpless exclamation because of pampering made Xibao a little embarrassed: Is the difference between the thinking of men and women really so big?

This cheerful atmosphere has continued until the return to the house, back to the house Qi You accompanied Xi Bao and had dinner together, after the study there was an urgent Qi You reluctantly came and went, after leaving, he did not forget to tell the little guy to send another exquisite glass lamp and purple jade luminous cup promised last night and this morning to Xi Bao, Xi Bao sent away Qi You after he was packing up the gifts sent by Qi You today, the little guy sent the two items according to Qi You's instructions, Wen Qin was a little strange and asked: "This brother is tired, these are all sent by the prince?" ”

The little guy smiled and said: "Back to this sister's words, yes, as soon as the prince arrived in the study, he ordered the little one to send these two things to Yunshui Courtyard and hand them over to the side concubine Niangniang." ”

Wen Qin smiled: "Then please wait a while, I'll go in and report." ”

The little guy also said politely: "There is Sister Lao." ”

Wen Qin came in and replied to Xibao, who was stunned for a moment and laughed: "This nerd really sent it over." ”

Wen Qin was a little puzzled: "The master knows what it is?" ”

Xibao said: "I know, it's just a joke, he's... hey, call someone in." ”

Wen Qin looked at the smile on Xibao's face and knew that this must be a good thing, so he invited the little guy into the main hall, and as soon as the little guy entered the door, he first asked Xibao for peace: "The little one has seen the side concubine Niangniang." ”

Xibao said: "Hurry up." ”

The little guy thanked him and got up and said, "Qi Concubine Zhao, the prince ordered the little one to personally deliver these two things to you, and please take a look." ”

Wen Qin and Wen Qi took the brocade box and opened it for Xibao to see, and Xibao just glanced at it and said, "Well, it's all here, I'm sorry for you." ”

The little guy laughed and said, "This is a matter for the minions, if the things are right, the minions will retire." ”

Xibao glanced at Wen Qin, Wen Qin hurriedly took out a small purse containing five taels of silver and handed it to the little guy and said, "Thank you for this little brother, you can take these to buy some food." ”

The little guy was a little prevaricated: "No, no, no, this slave can't ask for it." ”

Wen Qin said: "This is what you deserve, since it was given by the master, you can take it!" ”

The little guy saw that the master on the seat looked at his sister beside him with a kind face, and he hurriedly thanked him as he spoke: "Little one, thank you for the master's reward." ”

Xibao said: "Go, Ao will reply to the prince by the way, that is, the lamp here in the palace will be sent by the palace in person." ”

The little guy hurriedly responded: "Yes, side concubine Niangniang, the slave will retire." After speaking, the little guy said goodbye and left, and only then did he dare to laugh out loud when he came out of Yunshui Courtyard, and he was still happy in his heart: No wonder the minions in this courtyard all love to do things like Concubine Zhao, so he got a reward of five taels for a trip to the master, which is his monthly money for several months, and the slaves who work in Yunshui Courtyard are not very happy.
