In the evening, Leng Qingtang and Gu Yunxi shared a carriage, and Xiao Xiaoshen led a team of guards to escort them out of Dongchang and directly to his Admiral's Mansion.

The mansion of Leng Qingtang is not far from the East Factory, less than five miles to the south to Yudao Street, past the archway with the title of "Eternal Liufang", and enter the alley.

When you get off the bus, you can see an exquisite courtyard. The vermilion gate is inlaid with golden nails, and the two stone unicorns in front of the door are majestic.

Gu Yunxi looked up, and through the limestone wall, he could see the towering eaves and pavilions in the mansion.

A few little eunuchs who had been waiting at the door for a long time came up and took the overseer and Gu Yunxi into the mansion.

The quadruple courtyard, the corridor twists and turns, the pavilions and terraces, there is no strong craftsmanship between the layers, but there is a poetic and picturesque natural charm. There are many kinds of four seasons laurel, begonia and plum trees in the courtyard. This season is the season when osmanthus flowers are in full bloom and begonias are pressed on the branches, and there are bursts of fragrance rippling with the wind.

Gu Yunxi especially likes flowers and fruit trees, and in her eyes, those flowers and fruits taken from nature are the most simple and precious ingredients.

Hurriedly walking a few steps into the depths of the courtyard, she stood under a laurel tree in full bloom, looking up at the lovely golden osmanthus flowers clustered next to each other among the branches of the dotted green.

"Do you like it?" Leng Qingtang walked over with a smile and approached her and asked.

"Like! It's a beautiful view! Gu Yunxi smiled happily and nodded frequently.

She closed her eyes beside the Overseer and breathed deeply into the air, a sweet fragrance flowing through her nose.

At this moment, Leng Qingtang was in a trance for a moment, and the slender figure standing under the osmanthus tree ...... Who the hell is it!

Hurriedly fixed his eyes, he no longer thought about it casually, and slowly paced past.

"What are you doing?" He looked at her and asked, the tenderness in his eyes spread little by little, and he was already infected by this scene.

"I'm smoking! The scent of this tree is the most natural aroma! Come with me, Governor! ”

Gu Yunxi opened his eyes, stretched his arms out of thin air and spun in place for two weeks, fully experiencing the feeling of being immersed in the intoxicating fragrance of flowers, and his laughter was as crisp as a bell.

She was happy, and he was happy.

At this time, the wind rose, and the flowers fell into rain, hitting the two people who were standing together. The ground is goose yellow, covered with flowers the size of rice grains, beautiful as a fairyland.

In the beautiful scenery, Gu Yunxi felt the feelings of poetry and painting on her back, and the flowers fell on her cheeks, reflecting her beautiful and charming face, and Leng Qingtang was fascinated.

Grabbing Gu Yunxi's soft little hand and holding it in his palm, he said with a smile: "Let's go, I'll take you to the room to have a look." ”

After passing through the rockeries and pavilions into the inner courtyard, the little eunuchs who followed all stopped.

As soon as I bypassed the back wall of the big shadow symbolizing "wealth and glory", I saw a little maid walking out of the main room, and when I saw the two of them coming, I was busy stepping forward to give a salute.

"Master, you're back!"

After blessing Leng Qingtang, the little maid got up, tilted her head to look at Gu Yunxi, and grinned to reveal two cute little tiger teeth:

"This is the Yun girl you mentioned, right? dressed as a man, but he is really a handsome and handsome young man. I'll salute the girl first! ”

After all, it's another blessing. Gu Yunxi hurriedly supported her, her expression was a little uneasy: "You don't have to be like this, I'm ...... I'm not used to being served. ”

Leng Qingtang smiled and introduced to her:

"Qing'er is a maid in the house, about the same age as you, and knows martial arts, so I will follow you in the future. At the girl's house, it would be more convenient to leave a maid to take care of it. ”

After Gu Yunxi heard this, his eyes fell on this little maid named "Qing'er", and looked at her carefully from head to toe:

The hair is combed in a double-ring bun, tied with two peach-colored fringed headbands, and in the center is a five-color enamel silver grate. The face is round, the skin is delicate and white, the natural beauty, the eyebrows are beautiful, and the two smiling eyes reveal a naughty and clever energy, which is very amiable and cute.

She wore a water-green silk jacket and a long skirt in color, and her gestures showed her light and delicate posture.

"How old are you?" After watching it repeatedly, Gu Yunxi also likes it, and always feels that she is very close to her.

"If you go back to the girl, the slave maid is fourteen years old this year."

Qing'er folded her hands in her sleeves and replied respectfully. His eyes were lowered, and he saw his grandfather and Gu Yunxi holding hands. She only pursed her lips and smiled, and said no more.

Leng Qingtang said: "Don't stand in the courtyard, come into the house and talk, let Qing'er take us to see your room, what is missing, and then let her prepare." ”

"Master, girl, come with me." Qing'er was in front, the overseer and Gu Yunxi followed, and the three of them entered the main room all the way.

When you enter the house, you will be greeted by the fresh smell of Baihao incense, and all the furnishings are elegant but luxurious. Yingluo bead curtains, pear blossom incense cases, eight-treasure screens, paulownia makeup mirrors, sandalwood shelf beds, and lilac silk silk tents are dizzying.

The little maid Qing'er followed her around, and kept explaining:

"Two months ago, I heard that Xiao Ye from Dongchang came over and said that Miss Yun was coming, and these things were all newly purchased. There are also new clothes for the girl, four sets for the current season and four sets for the early winter. I had some fabric left, and I thought that when I met the girl herself, I would like to ask the tailor to measure your body carefully before making it. The girl looked at what was missing, what to eat, what to use, and what to play with, though she told me that I had told someone to bring it up. ”

In a trance, Gu Yunxi didn't answer, and a mist condensed under his eyes.

In the past, she had only seen these almost extravagant objects in Gu Yunjin's boudoir, but now everything she saw was more exquisite and gorgeous than what Gu Yunjin had.

Leng Qingtang's phoenix eyes keenly captured the delicate and rich expression changes on Gu Yunxi's small melon seeds' face, and silently handed a look to Qing'er. The little maid's little brain was shrewd, and she bowed her head to him knowingly, and tiptoed out of the house.

He and Gu Yunxi were left in the boudoir. Holding her thin waist, Leng Qingtang pulled her to himself and his chest.

"Why are you not happy? If you don't like it, just tell them to change it again. The things in this house are a bit urgent, so I should ask you about your preferences first. ”

He pinched her little face and coaxed her gently.

She was very touched by the patience he always showed in dealing with her.

"No, I like it, I really like it!"

Gu Yunxi looked directly into the eyes of the Overseer, with a solemn expression:

"Thank you, Overseer. It's just that I feel ashamed of it. I've caused so much trouble for you and Dongchang, and you still treat me very well, which makes me feel uneasy......"

Her face was a little sad, and she lowered her eyes in panic.

He suddenly realized, and thoughtfully stroked her little hand:

"I'll send someone to investigate that incident thoroughly, and I can't blame you anyway. Girl, now that you are with me, I just want to give you the best and not let you be wronged. There is only one thing, you bear with it for a while, and when some things are taken care of, I will give you the name and let you resume women's clothing! ”

Follow him...... followed the Overseer—

Leng Qingtang's words of true feelings were beyond Gu Yunxi's imagination. The sparkling eyes looked at the Overseer again, and the surprised eyes were a little surprised.

The fifteen-year-old girl is at the beginning of love, she does not know what love is, only knows that the handsome and outstanding man in her eyes is very good to her, and she is therefore concerned about him, only wants to stay together, and does not care about anything else.

Leng Qingtang saw the reflection of his face under Gu Yunxi's clear brown eyes, and he was also moved, holding her little face and sucking lightly on the small cherry lips above.

——

In the evening, Gu Yunxi soaked himself in the big bathtub and took a good bath, and the little maid Qing'er waited by the side.

Out of the bath, he changed into men's casual clothes, dressed in an apricot-colored cardigan, and his long hair was pulled up high by Qing'er's skillful hands, dressed as a handsome and neat beautiful boy.

Walking around the courtyard, Gu Yunxi lingered on the scenery in front of her repeatedly, convinced that all the things she had now were not dreams.

The days with the Overseer, whether in the East Factory or the Admiral's Mansion, always feel that time flies......

This courtyard is now inhabited by Gu Yunxi, and in the wing room is Qing'er, as well as two old mothers.

The Overseer is in the front yard, what is he doing now?

Gu Yunxi instructed Qing'er to carry a lantern, and the two walked into the front courtyard in the night.

The study is lit by candlelight. According to Qing'er, she was bought into this mansion five years ago, and she used to serve in the dining room, knowing that the overseer always reviewed official documents until late at night, and sometimes asked the dining room to prepare supper.

Gu Yunxi asked Qing'er to take her to the kitchen, where chicken soup was simmering on the stove, and a little eunuch was watching the fire.

Gu Yunxi asked him to find flour, Qing'er scooped the water into the pot, and rolled the noodles with his own hands with his own hands.

Qing'er has done it on the stove, her hands and feet are nimble, and she has a tacit understanding with Gu Yunxi. In a few moments, a bowl of fragrant chicken noodle soup came out of the pot.

Qing'er played the lantern, Gu Yunxi carried the food box, and when she walked to the front of the study, Qing'er retreated with interest.

Leng Qingtang was sitting in front of the bookcase and writing hard, and was suddenly attracted by the strong fragrance of sesame oil. As soon as he looked up, he saw Gu Yunxi walking in with a food box and a robe arrangement.

"Why haven't you slept yet?" He asked, surprised.

At night, Leng Qingtang was dressed in a dark robe, with flowing black hair, an official bun tied in the middle of his head, and a long green ribbon tied to his hair hanging long behind his head.

"The Overseer is busy with business, and when it's late at night, I'll bring you some supper."

Gu Yunxi smiled and took out chicken noodle soup and a pair of chopsticks from the food box and put them on the table.

The milky white soup is filled with jade-run noodles, and a few starry sesame oil flowers float in the middle. On top is a porcelain-white poached egg. Through the egg white, the tender and full egg yolk inside can be faintly seen. A few green leaves are dotted in the soup, which is very eye-catching and bright.

Leng Qingtang was already a little hungry, but after seeing this bowl of fragrant and colorful chicken noodle soup, the feeling of emptiness in his stomach was even stronger.

Putting down the brush, Leng Qingtang smiled gratefully at Gu Yunxi, picked up the bowl and tasted it carefully.

This bowl of chicken noodle soup is really delicious. The noodles are gluten ~ smooth, and the soup is fragrant and mellow.

He took the poached egg with chopsticks, opened his teeth to bite, and the golden and slightly sweet egg liquid fell between his lips and teeth, which made his body and mind warm up instantly.

He felt that this girl was sent by God to save him!

Gu Yunxi kept watching the overseer eat the whole bowl of noodles, and there was no soup left. As soon as he put down the dishes and chopsticks, she handed her a clean handkerchief.

Wiping his mouth, he grabbed her and stroked the back of her hand lovingly, looking down to catch a glimpse of some flour on her hands.

"You rolled the noodles yourself?" He looked up, looked at her affectionately, and asked softly.

She pursed her lips and smiled shyly, nodding faintly at him.

"Girl, your hands are too skillful......" He whispered, his slightly stunned gaze fixed on the ten fingers of her jade shoots.

"I'm going to be busy for a while, so go back to sleep when you're sleepy."

The candle flickered, and the orange light reflected on the Overseer's handsome countenance, making his face look warm and boundless.

"I ...... I'm not sleepy yet. She refused to leave, and wanted to stay with him more: "I'll help the overseer study ink." ”

"There's still some ink...... Leng Qingtang couldn't bear to be disappointed by Yunxi, and looked around:

"I have a notebook from the early years here, can you take it and sit next to me to paint red?"

He found a notebook in the small drawer on the desk and handed it to her.

Gu Yunxi suddenly smiled, moved over the chair and sat down, took a brush from the pen hanger, dipped it in ink, and began to paint red.

Leng Qingtang moved the candlestick to her, and then went about business.

Gu Yunxi didn't write for a while, and he began to sit still again. He stopped his pen and looked up at the Overseer.

In the field of vision, he was sitting on his lap, and a small wolf was flowing in his hand.

In the East Factory, he was vigorous and resolute, and suddenly quieted down, but lost the Lingli and flamboyant when he wore the official uniform, like a handsome son, and only now this elegant and colorful robe can set off the beauty of his strength in his bones.

Is the Overseer, the overly beautiful Overseer, really a eunuch?

Gu Yunxi had a little doubt in his heart.

"What are you doing when you're not concentrating on painting red, always staring at me?"

Leng Qingtang suddenly asked, without raising his head, his thick long eyelashes were lowered, his thin lips pulled up a leisurely arc, and the brush in his right hand flowed gracefully on the paper, flying non-stop.

When he landed, Gu Yunxi's melon seed face set off a red tide that could not be concealed, and his eyes were ethereal. Nu pursed her mouth and thought about it, she chuckled a little shyly:

"If you don't look at me, how do you know I'm looking at you?"
