Chapter Seventy-Six: I'll Give You a Lantern
Xi Duyun lay on Qi Lichen's body, his face red to the root of his ears: "Is there a hole here, let me go in and hide it?" ”
Qi Lichen didn't get much better, and his chaotic breathing couldn't calm down for a long time. Xi Duyun felt that something was wrong after lying on his stomach for a while, got up slightly, looked at Qi Lichen's body in surprise, and said with a smile: "You're not, aren't you?" ”
Just because of Xi Duyun's ridicule, Cuixin was punished to kneel in the courtyard for an extra hour, and no one dared to intercede for her.
They have followed Qi Lichen for many years, and Qi Lichen has never been happy and angry, and he has never shown mercy to his subordinates. Whoever commits an offense in the cabinet will be lightly whipped. Since Xi Duyun appeared, Qi Lichen has rarely punished his subordinates.
Unless it is a major crime, and the serious one is directly killed, otherwise it is a small punishment and a big commandment, and most of the time it is handed over to Bai Ye to deal with.
Qi Lichen was so angry that he personally punished him, which was unprecedented. In the past, the relationship between several people was good, if it weren't for Qi Lichen's big punishment, the symbolic punishment would have passed, but this time Qi Lichen personally supervised it, and no one dared to act rashly.
Cui Xin became the first person to be punished to kneel in the courtyard after the establishment of the Qi Mansion. Qi Lichen ordered someone to move a wooden chair and put it under the porch, lit incense again, and saw Cuixin kneeling. Don't say that Qi Lichen is in front of him, and no one in the entire Qi Mansion dares to speak.
The huge mansion is quiet, as if no one is in a no-man's land, the terrifying thing is that there is no one in the mansion, all the subordinates are standing in the courtyard on the third floor and the outer three floors, knowing what is happening, and those who don't know what is going on dare not come out.
Qi Lichen's eyes were like a deep pool, making people unable to see his joy and anger, and Cui Xin knelt in the court, also with a solemn face.
"Sister, Sister Cuixin was punished because of me?" In the bedroom, Xi Duyu climbed onto the chaise longue and sat down.
A pair of legs hung down, swaying and shaking, the child did not know what was happening, and his eyes were full of incomprehension and doubt.
"Yes." Xi Duyun replied without thinking, the plum blossoms in the vase had already dried, Xi Duyun took out the flower branches to dry, and then inserted them in the vase as dried flowers, but the bare flower branches were a bit monotonous no matter how you looked at them.
"Xiaoyu just accidentally broke the kite string, and the kite just fell into Sister A's yard, Xiaoyu came to pick it up, Xiaoyu had no intention of peeking at Sister A's and Brother Li's shameful things, and Sister Cuixin didn't see it, she just came to take Xiaoyu away."
Entering the Qi Mansion to live, it was Cuixin who followed Xi Duyu's side to serve, the child was simple-minded, and he had already regarded Cuixin as his friend, although he didn't know how serious this matter was, but he also knew that Cuixin was punished because of himself.
Xi Duyun sat down next to Xi Duiyu, the reason why Qi Lichen punished Cui Xin is complicated, Cui Xin is the most out-of-the-box among Qi Lichen's subordinates, uninhibited words and deeds are common things, and Cui Xin should not bring these to Xi Duyu.
Of course...... Qi Lichen will be so angry mainly because Cui Xin ruined Qi Lichen's "good deeds", and was mercilessly ridiculed by Xi Duiyun, otherwise he would not have made a big fuss, speaking of which, there is also a "credit" from Xi Duiyun.
"What is Sister thinking? Why do you laugh so lewdly? Xi Duyu looked at Xi Duyun with disgust and moved to the side.
"Ahem, in short, next time, remember not to eavesdrop on other people's conversations, and don't pick other people's windows. Once Cui Xin wants to say something to you, you cover her mouth and you can be safe. ”
Xi Duyun stuffed Xi Duyu's hand into his hand, Xi Duyu's clothes were a little old. Originally, it was decided to buy clothes for the Spring Festival, but it was delayed and not bought until now.
"Girl?" Xu Ming's voice sounded outside the door, Xi Duyu's eyes lit up, he took off his hand and jumped off the chaise longue and rushed out. Xi Duyun looked at the hand in her hand and smiled helplessly, she will stick to whoever is good to her this girl.
"I'm sorry, sir, I'll talk about this girl when I get back." Xi Duyun smiled embarrassedly and pulled Xi Duyu back. Xi Duyu was frizzy, and it was inevitable that he would not know it, in the final analysis, Xi Duyun was afraid of him.
"It's okay, I'll take Miss Xi to the study first to see if the homework that Miss Xi explained two days ago has done a good job."
Speaking of Xi Duyu's words, Xu Duyu has a headache if he doesn't know, but Xi Duyu is his own student, and he does things well from the beginning to the end, and no matter how reluctant he is, he has to follow up Xi Duyu's learning progress. I knew that this was the case, and I should have let the teacher teach Twilight to write first, and then take over by myself.
"Don't worry, since Mr. has such a headache Xiaoyu's handwriting is uninhibited, it doesn't hurt to let her practice for two more days and then look at it, Mr. has to be empty, do you want to go to the cloth village in the city to choose some cloth patterns for clothing, as well as New Year's goods."
It is not Xi Duyun's turn to worry about buying New Year's goods in the house, but Xi Duyun has the things he wants to buy.
How is the business of Tangxin Pavilion, as well as the recent situation of Li Hua, it's time to go over and take a look, and the opening of new stores should also be stepped up.
"There is time, and I just want to make two new clothes, let's go together." Xu didn't know how to play with the folding fan in his hand, the pendant on the folding fan was broken, and only the tassel was left listlessly drooping, and he didn't take it off.
Xi Duyun took a small shawl for Xi Duyu to put on, and went out with Xu Zhiyu. Completely forgetting that Cuixin was still punishing and kneeling, Qi Lichen was angry for a long time, and when he turned around, he was told by his subordinates that Xi Duyun and Xu Buzhi had left the house.
After Qi Lichen smashed a table with an expressionless face, Cuixin consciously knelt for half an hour, and even Bai Ye collected the essence of his words, Qi Lichen punished Cuixin, turned his head and went to Xi Duyun's residence to wait, Xi Duiyun was free outside, but Cuiyun suffered.
"Childe, the house has newly entered the best West Lake Longjing, you haven't drunk it yet, the slave will go to the kitchen and let people prepare it."
Cuiyun clasped his hands tightly together and stared at the other side worriedly, not even daring to look at Qi Lichen with his peripheral vision.
"Not necessarily." Qi Lichen leaned on the chaise longue dignifiedly, holding a book in his hand but not opening it, and there was no joy or anger on his face.
Everyone in Qingyu Pavilion knows that when Qi Lichen is angry, he likes to lie down with a book, and when he lies down depends on his mood.
Cuiyun didn't dare to act rashly, and stood in order, silently begging Xi Duyun to come back soon, otherwise their subordinates would not be able to save their lives. Cuiyun looked at the sky with both eyes, racking his brains and trying his best to dissipate Qi Lichen's anger.
"The spare lamp oil in the yard is almost gone, the slave maid go to the treasury to get some, the girl often sleeps late during this time, so the lamp oil is used quickly." Cuiyun deliberately bit the word "sleep late" very hard, and Qi Lichen really moved slightly and sat up.
"Why? Does the girl have trouble falling asleep on weekdays? "Qi Lichen and Xi Duyun's residence is in the east and the other in the west, how Xi Duiyun sleeps, Qi Lichen really didn't pay attention, and Xi Duiyun didn't tell himself.
Cuiyun secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, as long as it was about the girl, the pavilion master's mind would be touched.
I don't know if Qi Lichen himself has discovered that his happiness and unhappiness have been tied to Xi Duyun unconsciously.
"No, the girl will fall asleep every night when she is extremely sleepy, and when the Spring Festival is approaching, the girl wants to sew a purse for the pavilion master, and the girl is not good at work such as female red, so she does it slower."
Although Qi Lichen still kept his face calm, the corners of his mouth were still slightly raised, and he took the book and patted it on his hand: "Oh? Is it? Take out the purse and show it to me. ”
Saying that, Qi Lichen's eyes searched in the room, Cui Xin chuckled in her heart, blocked Qi Lichen and said, "This is the surprise that the girl plans to give to the pavilion master, wouldn't it be better for the pavilion master to turn around and ask again?" ”
"Aqiu!" Xi Duyun sneezed, patted her face and said, "Why do I think someone is plotting against me behind my back?" ”
