So she expected that this was secretly copied by Jiang Defu, no wonder it was hidden tightly, so she angrily insulted: "Okay, you dog slave who eats inside and out, when this is the place, you have to do the thing of stealing chickens and touching dogs, go, go with me to see Mrs.!" ”

Jiang Defu hurriedly explained, "Don't, Mulberry girl, listen to me, this is Madame'......"

"You still dare to quibble, are there still two housekeepers in the house, you don't go, okay, I'll let someone tie you up!" A few of you come here. Mulberry didn't listen to his explanation, but felt that the anger was hard to dissipate.

called a few small servants next to him, set Jiang Defu up, stuffed a rag into his mouth, and threw it to the firewood room in the west corner of the backyard and locked it up.

When she went back to Madame, she was disposing of the dead minion, so that she could also ask for credit in front of Madame.

After dinner time, Mulberry came over to serve Qin Nianbai to freshen up, and wanted to take out the token, and was about to tell Jiang Defu that he was bold enough to imitate the housekeeper's brand without permission.

The maid outside came in with a smile, saying that the Hou Ye was back, and went to the door.

As soon as the maid finished speaking, He Yan rubbed his hands coldly and entered the door, a layer of snow had accumulated on the heavy cloak, and the hat on his head was taken off when he entered the yard, and he came back in the heavy snow.

Mulberry and the maid hurried forward to help him untie his cloak, and added a few pieces of silver charcoal to the stove to make the fire more vigorous.

"But I froze to death, but fortunately I rushed back before the university closed the road, otherwise, this year would not have passed." He Yan sat next to Qin Nianbai, smiling and roasting the fire, his eyes looking at Qin Nianbaidao.

If it weren't for the cold on his body, he was afraid that it would be so cold that Qin Nianbai would want to hug her as soon as He Yan came in.

In the past ten days, he has indeed been a little busy.

Qin Nianbai's expression was indifferent, and he diverted his gaze from him, facing the mulberry, "Hurry up and bring some hot water, and ask the kitchen to burn a pot of wine." ”

Mulberry replied yes, and hurriedly took the two maids next to him to do it.

"Don't worry, my home is much warmer than in the tent in the camp in the western suburbs, and I'm in good health!" He Yan was even happier when he saw that Qin Nianbai cared about him, and patted his chest to prove that he was in good health.

Qin Nianbai stood up, picked up the blanket on the side and handed it to the maid on the side.

The maid took it and draped it over him.

Qin Nianbai handed the brass handstove of the Shu brocade set in his hand to He Yan again, and reproached softly, "Look at you, your shoes and socks are wet, take them off and warm them first." ”

She didn't want to pay attention to He Yan, but when she saw him like that, her heart softened again.

He Yan smiled softly on his face, took off his shoes and socks, and was really soaked, anxious, and only wanted to come back, but he didn't notice.

At this moment, Mulberry and the maid came in with a wooden basin and hot water, and soaked He Yan's feet.

"It's not so delicate, I used to fight in the army outside, and the hardships I endured were much more serious than this......" He Yan's feet warmed, and seeing that Qin Nianbai still didn't speak, he began to look for something to say again.

"When I really get to the battlefield and endure hardships, I can't see it, I just live left and right."

Qin Nianbai saw so many maids watching, but she was the Hou Ye, so she replied angrily.

"Madam, Master Hou, the kitchen has brought hot wine." A maid came in and said.

Mulberry told her to call people in.

Zhenzhen came in with a pot of hot wine, behaved very well, and only lowered her head, saluted, put the wine on the table, and was about to withdraw.

"Wait, you sent the decanting soup that day?" He Yan saw that her figure was a little familiar, so he asked directly.

This question made Qin Nianbai, Zhenzhen, and Mulberry all sink in their hearts.

Zhenzhen raised her head, glanced at Qin Nianbai, and shook her head, she was not stupid, she was not completely sure, and she rashly had something to do with that day, that is, she was looking for death.

"Master Hou, you are mistaken, it was sent to you by the slave." Mulberry saw Zhenzhen giving her a look, and hurried over to play the round.

He Yan waved his hand and let Zhenzhen go down.

Qin Nianbai also got up, "It's not too early, you have to prepare to enter the palace tomorrow, and you will wait for the Hou Ye to wash." With that, he walked towards the back room.

He Yan felt that Qin Nianbai's emotions seemed to be affected by the kitchen maid, so he chased after him and grabbed Qin Nianbai's hand.

Let the maids in the back prepare hot water, he will freshen up himself, and the maids will go down with interest.

"Madam, I've been busy these days, and I haven't had time to say a few words to you, now I can't compensate you, you can't snub me because of this matter, otherwise, I will be too wronged."

He Yan clasped her hand, looked at her indifferent expression, and said very gently.

"It's not serious, hurry up and freshen up, I'll be busy tomorrow." Qin Nianbai pushed him away and said calmly, when she thought of that incident, she was always panicked.

And the man didn't move for a long time, and he was most afraid of such a master, the more calm he was, the more difficult it would be to deal with it, and in the past two days, I am afraid that he would not be able to spare his hands to take care of this matter.

He Yan saw that she deliberately avoided herself, so she had to go to freshen up first.

When he came back from washing, Qin Nianbai was already asleep, he was light, leaned sideways and hugged her with one hand, and soon fell asleep.

He's been on the go for the past few days, and he really hasn't had a good night's sleep in days. A small bookstore

Qin Nianbai felt the sound of even breathing from the people around her, and she sighed secretly in her heart.

To be honest, in the entire capital, there is no one who can be as sincere to his wife as He Yan.

Maybe it's because I want too much extravagance and too greed, not to mention the official family, it's just in the ordinary people's house, and there are not three wives and four concubines.

She had already secretly decided that as long as the woman was not calculated with all her heart, but innocent, she would accept it for her husband.

The next day, when Qin Nianbai woke up, He Yan had already gotten up and was teaching Ping An Zama in the courtyard.

Qin Nianbai ate some snacks, so he went to the account room to find Xu Qiao'er first, to see how much was left in the house, and he would definitely take out some money to give alms during the New Year.

Letting the poor people outside eat a bowl of hot rice porridge with beggars is also a good deed.

In the account room, Xu Qiaoer and the two account gentlemen were reconciling accounts.

"Madame, you are here, and the slave is about to look for you." Xu Qiao'er was holding the account book in her hand, and when she saw Qin Nianbai coming in, she hurriedly smiled and went over.

Qin Nianbai took off his cloak and sat down by the fire cage, "You are moving fast, you have worked hard, and you are in charge of such a large expenditure in the house." ”

"It's all what slaves and maids should do." Xu Qiao'er handed the account book to Qin Nianbai, knelt on Tuanpu, and waited for her to finish reading.

Qin Nianbai only turned the page, and remembered Jiang Defulai, she asked him to come over yesterday, why hasn't she come over yet.

asked Xu Qiao'er, "Jiang Defu has been here, I asked him to come over to help you yesterday." ”

Xu Qiaoer shook her head, indicating that she had not seen Jiang Defu coming.

Qin Nianbai frowned, Jiang Defu is not a person who will make mistakes, with such a good opportunity, it is impossible for him to mess things up.

She didn't have time to think about it, she only checked the account, so she beckoned someone to go to the treasury together, chose some ordinary jade jewelry, and entered the palace tomorrow, and the gifts were more or less to bring with her.

At the end of the kitchen, Zhenzhen heard that Hou Ye was teaching the little boy Zamabu in the backyard, so she hurriedly boiled red dates and ginger soup and brought it over.

It's also a good opportunity, she has to plan as soon as possible, and it's not good if it drags on for a long time.

"The slave maid visits the Hou Ye and the little boy." Zhenzhen held the canned red date and ginger soup on the tray, and knelt down to say goodbye.

The snow on the ground had been cleared, but it was still very cold, and as soon as she knelt down, her knees shivered with cold, and she instantly regretted it.

He Yan pulled Ping'an over and asked her to get up quickly, "It's cold on the ground, you don't have to kneel when you come over in the future, just bless your body." ”

"Yes, slave remembers." When Zhenzhen heard this, she only felt that Hou Ye was caring about herself, and she was happy in her heart.

When she got up, she deliberately stepped on her skirt and almost fell, and the tray in her hand shook and almost fell to the ground.

He Yan took it easy, caught the tray steadily, and pulled her again.

She stood firm before letting go and placing the tray on the stone table.

"Master Hou atoned for his sins, the slave didn't mean it!" Zhenzhen hurriedly knelt down again, bowed her head and said.

He Yan glanced at her, and said indifferently: "Go down, do things carefully in the future, Madame likes to be clever, too clever, she doesn't like it either." ”

"Yes, this is red date ginger soup, the little boy is still young, the slave is thinking, let him drink some ginger soup, it won't be cold." Zhenzhen did not retreat, but stood up, quickly picked up the ginger soup on the stone table, and said very gently.

He Yan opened the jar and looked at it, it was indeed ginger soup, this maid was indeed clever and attentive to doing things, but she was a little scheming.

He still told Qin Nianbai that when the New Year is over, give her some silver money, and drive her out of the house, she will have to be quiet.

"You did a good job, go to the account room to receive the reward in a while, by the way, the eight treasure phoenix chicken you made is good, Mrs. loves to eat, you can make some more at night." He Yan waved his hand calmly and let her go down.

After Zhenzhen went down, He Yan tasted a mouthful of ginger soup, there was no spicy taste of ginger, it was very sweet, and it was difficult for her to have this skill.

So he fed Ping'an and drank a small half can.

"Father, this girl has been looking at you, does she like you? The child is not dependent, you are the mother alone. Ping An looked at him seriously.

He Yan smiled helplessly and patted his little head, this little rabbit cub is delicate in his thoughts, just like his mother.

So he squatted down, touched his head, and said, "Don't tell your mother about this, she should be upset when she hears it, you know?" ”

Ping An took a step back, dodged his hand, and said very seriously:

"Why not? Father, didn't you tell your mother that you can't hide it from her in this life? The child hears it with his own ears, and if the father doesn't speak, the mother will be sad, and the child will be disappointed! ”

He Yan was speechless for a while, how old is this little rabbit cub, and he is as old as an adult, so he had to nod and say, "Okay, my father will tell my mother in a while, after the New Year, let that girl go out of the house." ”

"The father will do it himself, and the child should go to review his homework." Xiao Ping'an bowed in style, and when he was done, he took his little servant back to his study.

He Yan shook his head helplessly, it seems that he is old, and he has nothing to say because he has been taught by his son.
