Qi Yan couldn't help but smile: "What should that maid look like?" ”

"I'm like this!" The full moon patted his chest and said, "Serve the master wholeheartedly!" But what does she think......"

The little full moon seemed to be unable to express that feeling for a while.

"What do you think?"

"In short, ambitious." Full Moon said, "Don't look so respectful and humble, but the ambition in your eyes is burning!" ”

Qi Yan amused the full moon's words.

"Could she be what Madame said...... Let Gongzi's concubine?! Full Moon swallowed and said.

Qi Yan nodded and said, "Very likely." ”

"Huh?!" Full Moon said, and couldn't help but look outside the courtyard, "This is too bad, isn't it?" ”

"This is the Xie family, what Mrs. Xie wants to do, we don't care." Qi Yan said, "If that crescent moon ......"

"Crescent?" The full moon blinks.

"I mean osmanthus, if that osmanthus has the ability, she can take down Xie Fuyi." Qi Yan said.

"Then what if Childe is unswerving?!" The full moon asks rhetorically.

Qi Yan: "......"

"Little Full Moon, you don't seem to want Xie Fu Yi to take a concubine." Qi Yan said.

The full moon sticks out its tongue.

Qi Yan sighed lightly and rubbed his eyebrows: "Let's take a step, let's take a step, now Xie Fuyi, I can't say." ”

"Can't tell?" The full moon blinked and said, "Tell me what?" ”

"I can't say for sure." Qi Yan said, "It's getting more and more incomprehensible." ”

"Then don't think about it." Full Moon said, "Anyway, Childe is good to the young lady, you just need to enjoy Childe's protection!" ”

Qi Yan: "Stop, let's not mention Fu Yi." ”

"Oh." Full Moon said, "That...... Young lady, are you still going out? Full Moon said, glancing into the courtyard.

At this time, there was no osmanthus in sight, but who knew if she was hiding in the shadows and observing Qi Yan.

Qi Yan looked up to the sky and sighed: "I have to think of a way to ......"

"How?" The full moon is puzzled.

"Take the osmanthus away." Qi Yan said.

"How do you take it......"

Qi Yan's eyes rolled and said, "Let her go and send something to Mrs. Xie." ”

"What to send?" Full Moon asked.

"I remember, there was a purple Shu brocade in the house." Qi Yan said, "Let her send it to Mrs. Xie." ”

"Purple Shu brocade? Is the evil purple taking Zhu? Full Moon blinked, smiled slyly, and said, "Young lady, are you asking Madame under the pretext that this osmanthus is the concubine she stuffed?" ”

Qi Yan made Osmanthus stunned: "I just don't think that color is good-looking, let Osmanthus send it to Mrs. Xie."

Full Moon: "......"

Anyway, Full Moon received Qi Yan's order, took out the unsightly purple Shu brocade from the side room and handed it to Osmanthus for her to give to Mrs. Xie.

…………

…………

The crescent moon was sent away by Qi Yan, and Qi Yan took the full moon out of Lingchun Courtyard.

The master and servant went around and around, taking advantage of the night, and walked together to the vicinity of the morning and evening courtyard, and then changed their clothes near the morning and evening courtyard.

Full Moon handed the food box in his hand to Qi Yan and whispered to her: "Young lady, go and go back quickly, I'll give you the wind here!" ”

Qi Yan rubbed her head: "Thank you for your hard work." ”

"Go ahead."

Qi Yan nodded, followed the wall, and walked lightly to the gate of Chaoxi Courtyard.

The night is slowly falling, if it is in Lingchun Courtyard, there must be a lantern at the door at this time, and it is bright, but it is dark here in Chaoxi Courtyard, and I can't see anything clearly.

Fortunately, it was cloudy tonight, and it was dark all around, so Qi Yan knocked on the door under the cover of darkness.

After a while, only the sound of a wheelchair rolling was heard in the courtyard, and then the courtyard door was slowly opened.

"Qi Yan?" Xie Fuxiu's voice sounded, "What's wrong with you?" ”

When Qi Yan heard his voice, she couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth and smile, she couldn't see Xie Fuxiu's appearance clearly, she could only rely on her voice to recognize people, Qi Yan lowered her voice and said, "Madame and Gongzi are resting, I took the time to come and see you." ”

As he spoke, he took out the food box behind him: "I usually eat you, this is a pastry made by a friend with me, I want to give you a taste." ”

Xie Fuxiu seemed to smile and said, "Come in." ”

"Hmmm! Well! Qi Yan nodded and walked into the courtyard.

"Oops!" It was too dark for her to pay attention to the threshold, and she stumbled all at once.

Seeing that Qi Yan's body was unstable, he was about to fall down.

The time was too urgent, and she couldn't react at all, so Qi Yan instinctively closed her eyes.

The expected pain didn't come, and even the body was still soft.

Just now, Xie Fuxiu grabbed her arm and skillfully brought Qi Yan to his side, and Qi Yan happened to lie on his lap.

"Are you alright?" Xie Fuxiu's voice was a little nervous.

"No, it's fine." Qi Yan realized that he was lying on Xie Fuxiu's lap, and his chest was against Xie Fuxiu......

So intimate!! Qi Yan's face burned all of a sudden, and she hurriedly got up, at a loss: "That, I'...... I, I'm fine......"

"It's okay." Xie Fuxiu said, "There are no lights here, you walk slowly and be careful of your step." ”

"Oh, oh...... I, I know......" The heat on Qi Yan's face had not yet dissipated, and he spoke a little stumbling.

"Oh! That's right! Qi Yan suddenly remembered something, "Eldest son, how are you?!" You, you're okay! ”

Doctor Zhang is treating Xie Fuxiu's leg, and when he presses it himself, don't treat Xie Fuxiu badly.

"I'm fine." Xie Fuxiu said, stretched out his hand to Qi Yan, and said, "Let's go, enter the house." ”

"Okay, good ......" Qi Yan heard that he was fine, relieved, and followed Xie Fuxiu into the house with the food box.

…………

…………

The room was brighter than the outside, and there was a broken oil lamp, which was no better than a candle, not only dim and gloomy, but also had a smell of tar.

Next to the sick oil lamp, there was a book spread out, and I was only halfway through it.

Qi Yan saw this scene in front of him, and felt even more sorry for Xie Fuxiu. She always came during the day, and she didn't know that Xie Fuxiu was so bitter at night.

"Eldest Prince, you are here...... Don't have candles? Qi Yan asked.

Xie Fuxiu said: "It's all bright, it's okay. ”

That's gone......

Qi Yan made another note to Xie Fu Yi in his heart.

"Sit down." Xie Fuxiu said.

"Oh!" Qi Yan sat down, then opened the food box.

"Eldest son, you can taste it." Qi Yan said.

"Okay." Xie Fuxiu nodded.

He picked up a piece of pastry, his fingers were white and slender, and he swept it casually, and Qi Yan saw that there seemed to be some thin cocoons on it......

"It's delicious." Xie Fuxiu said.

Qi Yan hurriedly came back to his senses and nodded with satisfaction: "It's good if you like it." ”

Xie Fuxiu slowly put down the pastry: "Qi Yan, you can also taste it." ”

"I've eaten it! Prince, eat it! ”

Xie Fuxiu said: "The style and taste of this pastry are very novel, I have never seen it before." ”

"This is me and Xie...... I mean, when I went to Youzhou with my son, I studied there. ”

"Delicious pastries." Xie Fuxiu said.

"If you like it, I'll bring it next time!" Qi Yan said, "This time, it's mainly done by another maid, I'm just helping, next time, I'll learn!" ”

"No, you don't." Xie Fuxiu shook his head and said, "You're also tired every day, aren't you?" ”

Qi Yan scratched the back of his head, it depends on what is going on, if he is busy with the affairs of the store, he is indeed a little tired.

"Qi Yan, do you have something to tell me?" Xie Fuxiu suddenly asked.

"Huh?"

Xie Fuxiu smiled and said, "That's because I'm thinking too much, I just think that you came so late, maybe there's something." ”

"Actually, it's okay...... there's something," Qi Yan said, licking his lips gently.

"What's the matter?"

"I, I've bought the store!" Qi Yan said.

"A bookstore?"

"Yes!" Qi Yan's eyes lit up when he talked about the store, "Bookstore!" ”

"Congratulations."

"Thank you, eldest son!" Qi Yan was congratulated by many people, but only when Xie Fuxiu said this, she followed her heartbeat, not only pure happiness, but also heartbeat, and unspeakable throbbing.

"What are you going to do?" Xie Fuxiu said, pointing to the book he was reading, "I'm reading a book about business." ”

"Really?" Qi Yan couldn't help but be overjoyed.

"So, I'd like to know what you're planning for the future." Xie Fuxiu said, pausing again, "Of course, if, you don't want to say it." ”

"With you, there's nothing I can't say."

Qi Yan said, "I told you before. Joined hands with Yuanhong Books to open a branch of Yuanhong Books. ”

Xie Fuxiu nodded and looked at her quietly, as if encouraging her to continue.

"This is just my first step, and when the business of Yuanhong Bookstore grows......," Qi Yan said, "I also plan to open a rouge shop." When the time comes, it will be independent from Yuanhong Bookstore. ”

"Rouge gouache." Xie Fuxiu nodded, "That's a good idea. ”

"You said, you want to cooperate with Yuanhong Book Company, have you told the boss over there?"

"That's it!" Qi Yan said, "He said that he would come to see my store in two days, and if the store was okay, he would cooperate with me immediately!" The boss is a nice guy, we just need each other, just right! ”

"But......" Xie Fuxiu pondered for a moment and said, "If you go out to open a store, what will the Xie family do?" ”

This is indeed a big problem.

Qi Yan sighed and said, "Now, I'm trying to find a way to leave the Xie family." ”

"Do you have a solution?"

"Not yet." Qi Yan was a little disappointed, but then he lifted his spirits and said, "However, someone has recently come up with a solution, but I don't know if it will be successful?" "Five

"Someone else will help you leave the Xie family?" Xie Fuxiu seemed a little surprised, "Who?" ”

Mrs. Xie.

But Qi Yan can't say this to Xie Fuxiu, otherwise his identity will be exposed?

"It's a person who can talk to someone in the Xie family." Qi Yan was vague and continued, "We actually don't have a good relationship, but we are forced to do it, so we can take what we need, she wants me to find my own person to take my place after I leave the Xie family." ”

That's what Mrs. Xie meant.

Xie Fuxiu opened his mouth slightly, a little dumbfounded: "Between you maids...... The competition is still so fierce. ”

"Uh." Qi Yan scratched the back of his head, and he couldn't explain much to Xie Fuxiu for a while.

Xie Fuxiu looked at her: "Qi Yan, you work hard." ”

"I will!"

Xie Fuxiu thought about it and said, "I've been reading some books about doing business recently, Qi Yan, if you encounter any problems, you can come to me for discussion......

He paused, smiled a little shyly, and said, "Of course, you can come to me if you have no problem...... I want to hear more about doing business, but it's shallow on paper......"

"No problem! No problem at all! Qi Yan hurriedly promised, "I'm free, I'll definitely come to you!" ”

"Then I'll wait for you." Xie Fuxiu smiled.

Qi Yan followed, and couldn't help but grin and smile.

The two talked for a while, and the time was really not early, so Qi Yan had to get up and leave.

"I'll send you." Xie Fuxiu said.

Qi Yan wanted to say no, but when the words came to her mouth, she swallowed and nodded slightly.

She actually didn't want Xie Fu Xiu to send her, after all, he was in a wheelchair, and it was inconvenient to get in and out, but ...... Qi Yan selfishly still wanted to take a look at Xie Fuxiu more.

The two went out of the house together.

"Ahh Qi Yan was suddenly startled.

The two chatted in the house, and at some point, all the dark clouds dispersed, the moon dotted the night sky, and the moonlight of Qing Lingling was not stingy, all of them were sprinkled, and the ground was illuminated as if it were day.

The moon is like water...... That's what I'm looking for.

Qi Yan sighed at the beauty of the moonlight, and inadvertently swept it and swept it to the flower garden in the courtyard.

Empty, a piece of loess.

What about the flowers?

The last time she came, she hadn't seen Xie Fuxiu for a long time, so that she was too excited to notice this flowerbed, but now she looked at it, not to mention that it was a flower, and there was not even a single grass.

"This ......"

Xie Fuxiu got a bag of flower seeds from the host of Jialan Temple, and Qi Yan also helped water the flower seeds he sprinkled with his own hands.

Before she left Yujing, the flower seed sprouted and grew taller, lush and tall, Qi Yan was waiting to see what kind of flowers it would bloom, but now it ......

Qi Yan couldn't help but turn his head to look at Xie Fuxiu.

Xie Fuxiu noticed Qi Yan's gaze just now, sighed softly, and said, "Flower ...... withered. ”

"How so?" Qi Yan said, "When I left, I was obviously fine. ”

"It's me who doesn't take good care of it......" Xie Fuxiu sighed softly, as if he was reluctant to continue.

Qi Yan hurriedly said, "It's the first time!" Whether it's planting flowers or raising animals, there will be mistakes, eldest son, don't be discouraged, I'll help you find some flower seeds, okay? ”

When Xie Fuxiu heard this, he couldn't help but look at Qi Yan.

He tilted his head slightly, and the lines of his chin, which had been somewhat resolute, were outlined by the moonlight with a kind of vein warmth.

Qi Yan swallowed softly.

"Qi Yan ......" Xie Fuxiu opened his mouth, his voice was hoarse, and said, "You are so good to me." ”

"Look at what you said!" Qi Yan said, "I'm not good to you!" Good for whom! I ......"

I like you so much!

"I, we're good friends!" Qi Yan said cautiously.

Xie Fuxiu lowered his head slightly, unable to see his expression clearly, he could only see his black hair faintly shining in the moonlight.

"It's not too early." Xie Fuxiu's voice sounded, he still lowered his head, and his voice was slightly hoarse, "You go slower on the road." ”

"Okay, then, then I'll go......" Qi Yan somehow, he always felt that Xie Fuxiu seemed to be immersed in his own world.

She wasn't fit to stay any longer.

"I'm leaving." Qi Yan waved his hand and left Xie Fuxiu's courtyard.

Before leaving, I helped him close the door.

…………

…………

The full moon has been waiting for Qi Yan, and seeing that Qi Yan has not come for a long time, the little girl is pacing back and forth, and even wants to knock on the door directly to call someone.

Finally, the door of the temple opened.

Qi Yan came out.

"Young lady!" The full moon lowered her voice and waved at Qi Yan.

"Waited, huh? I'm sorry. Qi Yan walked in front of the full moon.

Full Moon shook her head and said, "I'm nothing, just count the time, that osmanthus should come back." ”

"What is she afraid of when she comes back?" Qi Yan said as he changed clothes with Full Moon, "As long as Xie Fuyi doesn't come back, the others, I'm not worried." ”

Besides, this osmanthus is now Mrs. Xie's person, and she won't do anything against herself if she turns eighteen mountain road bends!

Uh, probably......

"Young lady, let's go back quickly." Full Moon said, "There are a lot of mosquitoes here. ”

"Hmm!"

Although autumn has now begun, people have not lost their fans now, and mosquitoes are still fierce at night.

…………

…………

Qi Yan returned to Lingchun Courtyard with the full moon, and sure enough, as the little full moon said, the osmanthus had returned.

"Young lady, where have you been?" Osmanthus stepped forward and asked.

Before Qi Yan could speak, the full moon stood up and said with a smile: "The weather is hot and sultry, the young lady goes out for a walk to welcome the cold, and I still want to tell you?" ”

"How dare I let the young lady report to me." Osmanthus said, "I just asked casually, and Madame has something for me to tell the young lady." ”

"Come into the house and talk about it." Qi Yan said.

"Yes."

…………

…………

In the house, the full moon lit the candles.

Qi Yan sits, and Osmanthus stands.

Qi Yan nugged his chin and said, "You can sit down." ”

"I'll stand." Osmanthus said, "I'm just a maid, how can I be on an equal footing with the young lady." ”

Qi Yan smiled meaningfully.

"Who can say what will happen in the future?" She said, "Feel free to do so." ”

Osmanthus stirred her fingers, looking a little cramped.

"Madame, let me tell you...... I'm the one she told you about......"

Qi Yan nodded and said, "I understand." ”

She looked at Osmanthus: "Madam wants you to be Xie Fuyi's concubine, and I also agree, just use whatever means you have, don't take care of me, however, I only have one request, don't use me without my knowledge." ”

"I don't dare!" Osmanthus waved her hand again and again, and said, "I will never take advantage of the young lady, young lady, you are my savior!" ”

"A lifesaver?" This confuses Qi Yan.

"That time, Qi Shu and I were bullied in the back garden, and it was the young lady who saved me, have you forgotten?"

"That time, ah......" Qi Yan's lips pulled, that time was an accident! If she knew that the people who were bullied were Yueya and Qi Shu, she would never come forward to help.

"Young lady, what I conveyed before was Madame'...... "Osmanthus clutched the corner of her clothes and said, "Now, can I say what I think?" ”

Qi Yan was a little surprised, this crescent moon seemed to have a different opinion.

"You say." Qi Yan said, "I'll listen." ”

"I, I don't want to be Gongzi's concubine......" Osmanthus said.

"Oh?" Qi Yan narrowed his eyes.

"I know Childe doesn't like me...... I came to Lingchun Courtyard, and I didn't want to, Madame spoke, and I couldn't ...... it" The crescent moon said, and it seemed that she was about to cry.

It's as if she is the woman from a good family who was forced to become a prostitute.

The full moon on the side was a little surprised, and I couldn't help but look at the osmanthus. Could it be that I was wrong before, this osmanthus is a good girl?

Qi Yan's reaction was different from Full Moon's, a smile was twitching at the corner of her mouth, the smile was even worse than just now, and she said with a hint of mockery: "So, you want to leave Ling Chun Courtyard?" ”

Osmanthus was stunned for a moment and swallowed her saliva: "If, Mrs. agrees, I will leave immediately." ”

"Then it's useless for you to tell me." Qi Yan shrugged his shoulders and said, "You have to tell Mrs. Xie to do it." ”

She paused, as if she had deliberately lengthened her voice, and continued: "Of course, if you really can't stay in Lingchun Courtyard for a moment, I can find Mrs. Xie here and ask her to come with someone else."

"This ......" Osmanthus 's face was a little exciting.

"I, I'm just a maid...... Osmanthus said pitifully, "I can't afford to offend anyone...... I don't know what to do either. ”

"Then when you think about what to do, let's talk about it again." Qi Yan said, pointing to the door.

Osmanthus lowered her head, as if fleeing for her life, and hurriedly left.

When she left, Xiao Manyue twisted her eyebrows and spoke: "This woman ......"

The little maid said, smacking: "It's not easy! Young lady, you have to watch out for her! ”

Qi Yan couldn't help but look at his little maid, raised his eyebrows, and said, "How can you see that she is not simple." ”

"She was clearly retreating just now!" Full Moon followed Qi Yan in circles without turning around at all, and said directly, "Just now, when she said that she didn't want to be a concubine, I thought she was forced by Mrs. Xie and couldn't help herself. But, young lady, as soon as you say that you can let her leave, and when there is another person, she is unwilling......"

Full Moon said, wrinkling her nose: "It seems that Madame really forced her to be the concubine of the son." ”

Qi Yan smiled: "Why, it can't be forced by Mrs. Xie?" ”

"Because, it's not necessary." Full Moon seriously analyzed love and said, "The concubine arranged by Mrs. Son's side must be a person who is obedient to her and can please her, if Osmanthus is really unwilling to be a concubine, according to Mrs.'s temperament, she will definitely not be forced to come, there are many maids in the house, and there are many people who want to marry Son...... Why should Madame make herself unhappy? ”

"Haha." Qi Yan smiled.

"What?" Full Moon scratched her head, "I, I said something wrong?" ”

"No, that's absolute." Qi Yan said, giving a thumbs up to the little full moon, "Little girl, you are very lively, not bad, not bad." ”

"Hehe, that's what Madame taught." Full Moon stuck out her tongue.
