Chapter 565: The Problem of Strict Housekeeping
Yang Ling is a person with clear grievances, and Qu Xiaobai thinks to himself. The deceased is gone, and she will help Yang Ling avenge his blood revenge, including Yang Huai's.
If Yang Huai has any descendants, she is also willing to take charge of the lives of his descendants, but unfortunately Yang Huai is a eunuch, alone, and there is no incense left in this world, so she can only regret it.
Qu Xiaobai thought so engrossed that he unconsciously arrived at the shadow wall of the moon gate in the front yard, but he didn't notice it, and he hit the shadow wall, thanks to a voice behind the shadow wall reminded: "Madam? Be careful! ”
The voice was thick and full of energy, Qu Xiaobai was startled, suddenly woke up, and when he looked up, he saw a middle-aged man coming out from behind the hollow carved shadow wall.
The man was born with a strong physique, and his appearance was decent, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, which was quite in line with most people's aesthetics, in a word, he was a very stylish person.
Especially his serious face, the overall temperament is more stylish.
The man bowed his head and said respectfully, "Little Yan Jiucong, please meet Madame." ”
Qu Xiaobai said politely: "It turned out to be Steward Yan, and he was about to look for you, what a coincidence." ”
"Madam, please go to the hall to talk, it's a little cold today, it's better not to blow the wind outside."
This strict housekeeper is polite and thoughtful, and he looks solemn, but he doesn't hate it.
Qu Xiaobai followed him to the flower hall in the front yard. This time into the yard to repair and tidy up early, the yard has begun to plant flowers and trees, although it has not yet begun to sprout and bloom, but looking at those rare flower saplings, you can already imagine the grand scene when summer comes.
invited Qu Xiaobai into the flower hall, Steward Yan took the teapot and prepared to make tea, Qu Xiaobai stopped: "Steward Yan, I don't drink tea, don't bother." ”
Yan Jiucong put down the teapot and hugged his fists again: "I don't know what Madame is looking for?" ”
"It's not a big deal, haven't those servants in my yard been working since they came last night?"
Yan Jiucong was a little confused, and he didn't know why his wife suddenly asked this, so he hesitated for a moment before answering: "Oh, yes." ”
"It's all flesh and blood, where can you just work without resting? I have ordered them to go and rest, and come and tell Steward Yan. ”
Yan Jiucong said respectfully: "It turned out that this was this matter, it was the little one who didn't think about it thoughtfully, and Mrs. Lao specially came over to remind the little one that he knew his mistake and would definitely pay attention to it in the future." ”
This strict housekeeper is indeed thoughtful, and his words are also thoughtful, and he can even be called a drip. But Qu Xiaobai couldn't say anything was wrong, he just felt uncomfortable.
"It's not because of Steward Yan, it's Yang Ling who is too anxious, and it's also in a hurry. Strict stewards don't have to blame themselves. Qu Xiaobai smiled, and changed his words: "I have never heard Yang Ling mention Steward Yan before, where is Steward Yan from?" ”
"The younger one is from Kyoto, and I was originally working in Kyoto, but I was transferred here after the year."
Qu Xiaobai was full of interest: "People from Kyoto? I've never been to Kyoto, so tell me if Kyoto is fun. "Xiaobai
Yan Jiucong secretly glanced at Qu Xiaobai in confusion. This hostess looks lively and simple, and even speaks with a little bit of a little woman's delicate attitude, not at all like the rumors say, capable and smart, and can even be described by the word "spicy".
Yan Jiucong smiled on his face, "Kyoto, that's it, it's just a little more prosperous, because the big families gather in Kyoto, so the rules are stricter, you have to be cautious when you go out, but it's not as free as other places." ”
"Yes. Butler Yan, tell me about what is delicious and fun in Kyoto. ”
Yan Jiucong talked to Qu Xiaobai about what he had seen and heard in Kyoto for a long time, he was so tired that his mouth was dry, and he was embarrassed to take a teapot to make water to drink, after all, the master didn't want to drink water.
talked until noon, Yan Jiucong looked at the sky, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and said as if in amnesty: "Madam, it's time for lunch, is the meal here or in the backyard?" ”
Qu Xiaobai looked unsatisfied, "It's noon so soon?" Thank you for accompanying Steward Yan today, I'll go back to the backyard to eat. ”
Qu Xiaobai got up, and as soon as he went out, he saw a figure around the corner of a pavilion in the courtyard, his steps were very light, but the speed was extremely fast, and he was close in the blink of an eye.
Naturally, it was Yang Ling.
Qu Xiaobai was so happy that he even forgot about his big belly, lifted the corner of his skirt and rushed towards Yang Ling, "Why are you back?" ”
Yang Ling hurriedly said: "Don't run!" Busy performing light skills, he flew over and grabbed Qu Xiaobai's waist, "What are you anxious about?" Watch your step. ”
"Hehe, I paid attention, I just have a big belly and there is no problem with my body." Qu Xiaobai pinched Yang Ling's arm and swayed coquettishly.
The swaying appearance is the same as when their little snow wolf toffee wants to cheat and eat and drink, Yang Ling's heart was softened by her, and the words of blame can no longer be spoken, "I know that there is nothing wrong with your body, but your body is not suitable for running." ”
"I know, I'll pay attention to it in the future. Didn't I see you excited? Did you come home and eat with me? ”
"I miss you."
I don't know if it's a psychological effect, Qu Xiaobai listened to Yang Ling's words, only to feel that his voice was dull and soft, like a rabbit's tail sweeping on the tip of her heart, and the gentle touch made her heart itch.
The words were also unpleasant: "Ah, oh, then let's go back to the house for dinner." ”
Yan Jiucong came out of the flower hall and saluted in a proper manner: "Lord." ”
Yang Ling's eyes flickered slightly on the top of his lowered head, and he didn't stop, and said lightly: "Well, go get busy." ”
Yang Ling hugged Qu Xiaobai and walked towards his courtyard, Yan Jiucong watched them turn over the shadow wall and disappear the shadow, so he straightened up and went to busy himself.
"What are you talking to Lao Yan?"
"Let's just talk about Kyoto. Did Lao Yan follow you before? ”
"Lao Yan is Master's person, when the bloody incident occurred that day, Lao Yan was in Kyoto, and he was only a young man in his twenties at that time, in charge of the branch of Zixuzhuang Kyoto, and he didn't come here."
Qu Xiaobai couldn't help but glance up at Yang Ling, his eyebrows frowned for a moment, Yang Ling was keenly aware of it, and asked her, "What's wrong?" Do you think that the person who is strict and steward is too serious? He's that kind of person, you don't have to care. ”
Qu Xiaobai's heart was a little uncomfortable. In fact, I didn't understand where this discomfort came from, perhaps, because Yan Jiucong was Yang Huai's person?
That's the only reason I can think of at the moment.
After all, she can't say that Yan Jiucong is a bad person. She didn't feel that he was a bad person, just too serious, too cautious.
But she couldn't tell Yang Ling that she didn't like this person. Finally, she nodded and said very blandly, "Well, I don't mind. What kind of person is he and what does it have to do with me? ”
Yang Ling smiled and touched her head, "Good." ”
Yang Ling is not a careless person, but Qu Xiaobai always feels that Yang Ling is still too blindly confident in Yan Jiucong, and after thinking for a moment, she still didn't hold back, and said: "Don't think I'm too careful, you haven't had much contact with this Yan steward over the years, are you sure he is fine?" ”
Yang Ling's eyebrows frowned.
"If you don't like it, then change him."
"It's not about liking or disliking, it's just ...... I always think it's weird. Yang Ling, I have always been intuitive about employing people, and it has been proved that my intuition has not gone wrong until now. I'm not saying that strict housekeeping is bad, but I just think there's something that makes me feel uncomfortable. Maybe it's because I don't like serious people very much, and I like to be a little more cheerful. ”
Yang Ling couldn't help but look at Qu Xiaobai. Xiaobai has never been an emotional person. She was somewhat outrageously sensible in everything but his affairs. Almost...... Ruthless.
It is possible for others to employ people based on feelings, but Xiaobai will not. He firmly believes that Xiaobai will not.
That's ...... She sensed that something was wrong with Yan Jiucong?
"Yan Jiucong is the person my master brought in the palace."
Qu Xiaobai was surprised: "Huh? He's a eunuch, huh? ”
Yang Ling nodded: "Yes." He has no relatives and has been in the palace since he was a child, and when I was a child, I heard the master talk about it. Master trusts him a lot, and he has no reason to betray me and Master. ”
"Xu is my Taimin. I felt it. Qu Xiaobai squinted at a rockery in the courtyard and thought for a moment, "I'm not saying that he betrayed you." It's okay, it's good to use like this, Steward Yan is a thoughtful person. ”
Qu Xiaobai measured in his heart, if this person is like Yang Ling said, there is no problem, then it is the best. But if it's really unfortunate and he has a problem, then it can't drive him anywhere else. On the contrary, it is safest to look at it under your nose.
What Qu Xiaobai thought in his heart was exactly what Yang Ling was thinking.
It's just that the two of them didn't say anything, Yang Ling tightened Qu Xiaobai into his arms, "In the future, you still have to pay more attention to your body and try not to get tired." ”
Qu Xiaobai grinned and said, "Big brother, I've been paying attention to it a lot, okay, in the morning, I pulled Steward Yan to chat, and I didn't do anything!" ”
"It's tiring to chat, too." Yang Ling lowered his eyes and looked at her unhappily, "Also, don't talk to him in the future...... Forget it, I'd better replace the housekeeper with a woman. Otherwise, transfer the lady over and let her be the housekeeper. ”
Qu Xiaobai: "...... Big brother, you won't even eat the vinegar of a middle-aged old man, right? I'm a person with such a high vision, where can anyone get into my eyes? ”
Yang Ling was amused by her and laughed out loud: "You don't call yourself high-sighted, you call it lustful." ”
"Then you should be glad that I am a lustful person, otherwise, you would not have to make vinegar jars every day?"
Yang Ling muttered in a low voice: "I'm also soaking now." ”
Qu Xiaobai: "......" Big brother, be sensible, be sensible, don't be stupid. With a beauty like you, who else in the world can get into the eyes of Little White Brother?
"With my appearance, don't worry, they don't want to look at me if they like you."
Yang Ling lowered his eyes and looked at her.
Let him say what? In terms of appearance, she is indeed not beautiful, but she is not too bad. Especially the skin is good, supple and supple. But this is all secondary, the important thing is that she is too contagious, and he is afraid that whoever comes into contact with her will be attracted by her charm.
Well, that's it, his little wife is too attractive, not outwardly, but from the inner charm.
A good-looking person is not terrible, there is always someone who can resist the temptation of beauty, such as him, but the inner charm ...... That's not something that anyone can resist.
For example, he has not fallen into the beauty of other women, and will never fall into the beauty of women in the future, but he can't bear Qu Xiaobai's unique charm.
He can't bear it, how can other men bear it?
Thinking of this, Yang Ling was a little proud and a little worried.
