Xiao Chi happily put the tenderloin in his mouth and pulled two mouthfuls of rice. The eyes of the smile narrowed.

A table of meals for the guests to enjoy. So happy. A few people finished their meal and got off the table. Leisurely sat down on the chair and drank the freshly brewed hot tea. Qiao Yi quickly cleaned up the leftovers and the oil soup plate on the table. A man rolled up his sleeves in the kitchen and began to wash the dishes and chopsticks.

During this period, Shen Mo took advantage of the free time to sip tea and couldn't help but glance into the kitchen. Looking at the corner of the side of the man who was busy. Some frowned in displeasure. She kept busy making a table of dishes. Then another person cleaned up the mess on the table. It's here. Looked at the person who was drinking tea. Shen Mo narrowed his eyes. It's a really unpleasant feeling.

I had to grit my teeth in my heart and sigh secretly. Be sure to marry someone home as soon as possible. Then take good care of her. I definitely won't let her work so hard every day anymore. And these only know how to eat and drink. I don't want to eat a meal like this in the future. They didn't even bother to take a step in the province. It's really hard to call.

Others don't know what Shen Mo is thinking in his heart. I was very satisfied with today's lunch. At this time, they are all shy and eating with a round belly drinking tea. I just feel comfortable.

Qiao Yi is used to doing too many of these things. The kitchen was cleaned up quickly. Then he washed his hands and went into the hall and sat down. I saw Qiao Yi walking in with a smile on his face. Shen Mocai reopened his smiling face. XIAO Chi. It's not like I'm talking about you. Why don't you invite a maid to come? Now Qiao Li is like this. How can you still be so careless? She shouldn't have been allowed to interfere with these tasks in the first place."

Xiao Chi immediately put down the teacup in his hand when he heard this. Sneaking a glance at Qiao Li, who was smiling on her face, she sighed. You have come and seen it today. It is true that there is no maid in our family. But you can't rely on me. When Li'er and I just got married, we recruited two maids to serve me. Previously I didn't use it because I didn't like using these. But marrying Li'er is different, don't I have to take care of people in the palm of my hand?"

"But. Our pears don't want it. It only took a while. He said good things, gave money, and resigned. Now she's pregnant. I thought I should be able to call the maid now. After all, it's too inconvenient to be alone. I also have to go to the Yamen to deal with affairs. I don't feel at ease about leaving her home alone. But. She still wouldn't. Now it's just a matter of sending her to her mother's house for a few days." Xiao Chi, who looked helpless and spoiled, said.

Zhu Dong listened to the grunt, and drank the tea in two sips. Looking at Qiao Li, who was lowering her eyes, she asked, "Miss. Xiao Chi is telling the truth. Why don't you want to use those maids? It's not that they disobey discipline and conflict with you."

Listened to these words of Zhu Dong. Qiao Li raised her eyes full of smiles. glanced at Xiao Chi, who didn't leave after his eyes fell on him." It's not that I'm not satisfied. I'm just not used to it. Didn't you also use a domestic servant because you weren't used to it? If you don't get used to it, I'm even less used to it. Originally, I thought that after a few days of trying and a comfortable life, I would be able to adapt to it naturally. But."

Some helplessly talked about it: "I'm still not used to it. I always feel uncomfortable anywhere. Obviously it's done well enough. But he always wants to intervene. It's been a long time. On the contrary, it is even more uncomfortable to scratch the heart and lungs. Originally, I bought a maid to make myself more relaxed and comfortable. Case. Instead, it's better to quit and do it yourself. Now that I'm pregnant, I'm even more reluctant to toss. It's better to go back to your parents' house for a few days. Naturally, my mother and sister take care of me."

"It's uncomfortable to have a maid to serve you. This is the first time I've heard of anything like this. After all, a lot of people are reluctant to do those things that make them tired. The eldest lady is different from the others." Zhu Dong scratched his head. Something I don't know why.

Shen Mo put down the teacup. Straighten the sleeves of the shirt that are not stained with water. There was a light in his lowered eyes. I don't like to be served. It's the first time I've heard of such a thing. But it made Qiao Li persist for several years. Even if you are pregnant, you don't want to call a maid. Is that gardenia too?

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but lift up slightly. The eye waves gently rolled to Qiao Yan's little face. It's not that she doesn't like maids like this. If that's really the case. I'm afraid that the maids of the entire Shen Mansion will not be able to use it in the future. It's nothing. It's just those jobs who do it.

glanced at Zhu Dong, who was slowly smiling and couldn't hide it. He's eating with pleasure right now. Hum. Eat these things for nothing. Now I must only feel that I am alive in the world. It's wonderful. Then leave it to him.

Zhu Dong, who was full of joy, didn't know what decision Shen Mo had made. At this time, he was thinking about his Dongpo meat. I just feel the sun is warm. Life will definitely get better and better when I return home.

I haven't seen a few people for a long time. It stands to reason that we should have gotten together to catch up on the old days. It's just that today was originally the day when Qiao Yi came to pick up Qiao Li. This is a time not to be taken lightly. So Xiao Chi must be guarded and watched carefully. Even if I look at that person, I can't give up in my heart. Shen Mo had no choice but to get up and retire under Lin Shi's reminder.

In this way. Instead, it became Shen Mo and the others standing in front of Xiao Chi's door to see them off. Xiao Chi couldn't stop carrying things into the carriage. It's not just Joe's thing. There is also a large part for the Qiao family. Xiao Chi has always been like this. Whenever the Qiao family meets, they will definitely bring a lot of things.

Qiao Li was sitting on a chair in the room and watching. Shen Mo looked at Qiao Yi, who was standing beside him and couldn't stop staring at the shadow in the sun. Quietly took out a brocade box from his cuff. Stretched out his hand and handed it to Qiao Yan.

Looking at the red brocade box that suddenly appeared in front of him, Qiao Yi was stunned for a moment. Then when she came back to her senses, she immediately raised her head and looked at Shen Mo. The expression on his face was actually faint. He was staring at her at this time. The expression is faint but also with a faint smile. There is also a trace of tenderness in the eyes. Densely wrapped in himself. Qiao Yi, who turned his gaze to the corners of his gently curled lips, immediately blushed.

Some puzzled people didn't bow their heads. I couldn't stop praying in my heart that he wouldn't see his hot cheeks. On the other hand, he deceived himself into believing his own words. Just looked at him and said, "This. What is it?"

Shen Mo's hand was not withdrawn. He watched as a faint flush crept up her face. There is nowhere to run at this point. The corners of his mouth didn't fall for a moment." This one. I wanted to give it to you a long time ago. I saw it by chance that day. Just think. You must look good when you wear this. Will also love it. So. I'll bring it today."

That was two years ago. He sat in the restaurant on a drizzly spring day and the people in front of him were just arguing. The rainy but lingering outside is very different from the warm but tense atmosphere inside. Such a tense moment. Two people with similar interests allowed the negotiations to continue until the middle of the night. As an additional reward for your own victory. I was in the box full of jewels that I didn't bother to disdain. I took a fancy to this at a glance.

Then he just waved his hand, "I'm going to ask for this." Interrupted the two respectfully bent down to ask his men in black again. I didn't look back and stepped into the rainy night. The one in his hand is a Dai ornament.

Dai jewelry is one of the women's jewelry. It's just becoming popular in the capital. This remote place has never been heard of. It's just a piece of jewelry strung on the forehead above the eyebrows. This ornament is made of a very small gold thread that connects pearls and precious stones. The gold thread is small, and the rich and noble people use it to collect jewelry and make jewelry, which is very popular. The East Pearls on this are evenly sized. Smooth and round. It's not big, but it's very valuable.

And the moment it hangs down on the forehead, the gem is extremely beautiful. This gemstone is different from the common red, green, blue, and yellow colors. He is crystal clear like a flowing lake. It's transparent yet sparkling. If you wear it, lie quietly between your eyebrows. It seems to be able to inhale and recognize the soul. It makes people can't take their eyes off it.

And those carefully selected and expensive Dongzhu naturally become the most precious and beautiful foil. Brings out the beauty of this gemstone. Drop-shaped gemstones the size of a fingernail. It's like drops of water falling from the sky on this rainy night. This thing entered Shen Mo's eyes, naturally not because it was precious. Boxes of jewelry. This is the only one I like. And only this one gem. It's so crystal clear like a mirror. to be worthy of such a person.

Qiao Yi took the brocade box that was handed over. Gently opened up. The gems and pearls are scrambling to shine in the sun. It's just that no matter how round and bright the pearl is, it can't be loved by the sun.

Gemstones radiate dazzling brilliance the moment they see the sun. It makes people's eyes squint unconsciously. Can't face up to its brilliance. But Qiao Yi still saw it clearly. It is indeed an ingenious skill. to make such beautiful jewelry. Qiao Yi slowly closed the brocade box. The light is locked in the box again.

Shen Mo smiled softly. His gaze fell on Qiao Yan's face: "It was midnight. I walked in the rain for a long time with this jewelry. At that time I was thinking. It would be nice to meet you."

Then he gently withdrew his gaze and shook his head: "Actually, it's nothing. I was just. Some miss you."
