Qingdi snorted coldly and said, "You go and invite him, I want to see how this magic stick can break the good luck!" ”

Apricot answered, and went over to ask for Shadow Sora. Like Chu Linyuan, Ying Konglai finished the business outside early and came back to look at the account books. He listened to the apricot anxiously and fearfully describe the scene of the fox eating the snake, and heard the apricot say that the green flute invited him to go over to break the good luck, he thought about it for a while, then put down the work in his hand and went to Luli Xinyuan with the apricot.

When they arrived in the courtyard, Ying Konglai went in directly to see Chu Yaocen and Qingdi, and asked Chu Yaocen with a worried face: "Second Young Master, did Xiao Yanxi suddenly go crazy?" Did it hurt you? ”

Chu Yaocen saw that Yingkong was coming, so he hurriedly ran to him, shook his head with a smile and said, "No, you see that I am fine, but the Cuicui you gave me is gone, and it has been eaten by it." ”

Chu Yaocen said, showing a sad expression again, and Ying Konglai hurriedly comforted him: "It's okay, I'll go to Miaojiang in the future and bring you another one back, don't be sad." ”

Chu Yaocen nodded and smiled again.

After Ying Konglai finished asking Chu Yaocen, he turned his head and asked Qingdi, "Second Young Lady, are you okay?" ”

Qingdi secretly rolled his eyes in his heart, he was nervous about Chu Yaocen just now, how could he look like a normal person who was nervous about his master? He must be a broken sleeve, and he must be interesting to Chu Yaocen.

"I heard Apricot say that it is a bad sign for a fox to eat a snake, and I heard Yao Cen say that the shadow steward will break the good luck, so I invited the shadow steward over and asked Yan Xi what does it indicate if he eats this snake?" Qingdi is not good at hiding his mind at all, and the tone of his voice shows all his dissatisfaction with Yingkong.

Shadow Konglai didn't know what to do, and replied to her with a smile: "Konglai only understands a little." The fox is intelligent and human, and the snake is greedy and cunning. The fox eating the snake indicates great auspiciousness, that is to say, the second young master and the second young lady can gain fame and fortune, smooth sailing, good fortune, peace and tranquility, even if there is a murder in mathematics, they can avoid disasters. ”

Chu Yaocen listened, scratched his head and said, "What do you mean?" ”

"It's a good thing." Qingdi replied to Chu Yaocen, and said to Yingkong: "Borrow the shadow butler Jiyan, but I really don't know, what fame and fortune can we receive?" ”

Shadow Sky came to listen to this question, looked at Qingdi and was silent for a moment, and asked rhetorically: "Second Young Lady, do you think that you can't do it with the Second Young Master?" ”

Qingdi twisted his brows, a sharp light flashed in his eyes, and he immediately said directly to him: "Shadow Steward, I really don't like to talk around the bush, I used to talk like this in the Prime Minister's Mansion, I have to be careful everywhere, I have to repeat a sentence in my heart three times to make sure that I didn't misunderstand what that person meant, and then say something to make others think about it three times." It's so tiring that so can you stop talking to me like that? ”

Ying Konglai was a little surprised, I really didn't see it, Qingdi is such a straightforward person, and it is a miracle that such a person can come out alive from a place like Xiangfu.

Chu Yaocen looked at the two of them, and was reluctant again, so he hugged Qingdi's arm and said coquettishly: "Little fox, you said to other men that I didn't understand, you and Xiao Qi also talked like this yesterday!" ”

"I'll explain it to you." Qingdi comforted Chu Yaocen softly, took his hand away, and said to Yingkong: "Shadow Steward, it just so happens that you are free today, I have some important things to ask immediately, let's go out and talk about it." ”

Shadow Sky thought for a moment, then nodded, "Okay." ”

After that, the two of them were about to go out, but Chu Yaocen grabbed the corner of Yingkonglai's clothes with one hand, and held Qingdi's wrist with the other, preventing them from going out, frowning tightly and saying, "What are you two going to do?" Aren't you playing with me? ”

"No, Second Young Master, Second Young Lady may have something she wants to explain to me, and it will be fine in a while." Qingdi hadn't opened his mouth to comfort Chu Yaocen, and Yingkong came to speak first. However, Chu Yaocen really listened to him and immediately let go.

Qingdi saw that their behavior was so intimate, and he didn't like it in his heart, and urged Yingkong to come: "Is Shadow Butler very free?" ”

"Not really, let's go out here." Shadow smiled back at her, and went out with her.

The two walked along the pond outside Lu Li Xinyuan, walked to the pavilion on the opposite bank and sat down, they were silent for a while, and finally Ying Konglai asked first: "Why do I think the second young lady seems to have an opinion on me, is it that I offended the second young lady?" ”

Qingdi tried her best to make herself less obvious, but she couldn't treat Ying Kong with the same indifference as Xiao Tao, probably because Chu Yaocen didn't pay attention to Xiao Tao, but she relied on Ying Kong more than her.

Qingdi exhaled lightly, and said directly: "I don't have any prejudice against Shadow Steward, but I feel that Shadow Steward is too close to Yao Cen, and the impact is not good." ”

Ying Konglai smiled and said: "Actually, it's not like this, it's because the second young master is kind-hearted, and he values feelings and righteousness, you will find that it's not just me who gets close to the second young master, like those royal nobles in the imperial city, as long as they get along with the second young master, they will treat the second young master as a good friend." ”

"I've seen the Seventh Prince, and I know that the relationship between the Seventh Prince and Yao Cen is good, but why didn't I find that when Yao Cen got along with him, it was the same as when he got along with you?" Qingdi's eyes were full of cold air, and he didn't bother to pretend to a smiling fox like Yingkonglai.

Ying Konglai is really good-tempered, hearing Qingdi's prickly tone, he can still maintain a decent smile, and asked her with some doubts: "Second young lady, to be honest, I don't really understand what you mean." ”

"I just want to ask you......" Qingdi only hesitated for a moment, and then then asked, "Are you broken sleeves?" ”

Ying Konglai couldn't close his mouth in surprise, and the signature smile on his face stiffened for a while, and then he shook his head helplessly, the corners of his mouth slightly hooked an arc, and asked Qingdi: "Second Young Lady, do you know what a broken sleeve is?" ”

"Of course I know," Qingdi said this, still a little embarrassed, turned his face slightly, and whispered: "Isn't the broken sleeve just that two men like each other?" One of them plays the role of a woman. Yao Cen is not a broken sleeve, you don't want to pester him. ”

"Haha," Ying Konglai actually laughed twice, and after laughing, he looked at Qingdi helplessly, and said, "How do you know that the second young master is not a broken sleeve?" ”

"Because he ......" Qingdi was about to speak, but stopped in time and blushed. She now has some hazy concepts about men and women, men and men, but if she understands it, she really doesn't understand it very well. But she felt that if Chu Yaocen could do such a bastard thing to her, he shouldn't be a broken sleeve.

"Because he and the young lady have a skin-to-skin relationship, isn't it a broken sleeve?" Ying Konglai was really amused by Qingdi, asked her with a smile, and then said: "Second Young Lady, my son is almost ten years old, and now he and my inner man are learning the art of witch doctors in Miao Jiang, and I will bring him back at the end of the year to get to know you." ”

"Your son?" Qingdi raised her head in surprise and asked him, "You were born to you?" ”

The smile on the corner of Ying Konglai's mouth widened more and more, and he said, "I finally understand why the second young master loves the second young lady so much, because you are so cute." My son is naturally my own child, I am not a broken sleeve, I am closer to the second young master, but also because I appreciate the innocence and enthusiasm of the second young master. Does the second young lady still have any doubts? ”

It turns out that Shadow Sky is not a broken sleeve, and he still has a son! Qingdi was so ashamed that she didn't know where to look, and said in a panic: "I'm sorry Butler Shadow, it's all my fault, I won't think so in the future." ”

"The second young lady thinks so, someone must be talking nonsense in front of you." Ying Konglai smiled and said: "Don't listen to people talking nonsense in the future, they will also spread to themselves, the second young master is a very good person, it is because he is immature that he is purer than anyone else." Madam, you should believe in the second young master, and also believe in yourself. ”

"I see." Qingdi fidgeted in embarrassment, and hurriedly got up and said, "Steward Ying is still very busy, you can go back quickly." ”

"The second young lady will call me empty in the future." Ying Konglai said: "I'm not in a hurry today, the matter is almost done, if the second young lady has nothing to do, it is better to continue to sit down, let's talk about the 'fame and fortune' just mentioned." ”

Qingdi also thought of what Yingkong said just now, she thought that Yingkong was just a sycophant, and now she has to bring it up again, what are you going to do?

Qingdi was also interested, so he sat back and asked him, "What do you want to say?" ”

"It is also because of the second young master's mental problem, the old master has not let the second young master touch any business of the Chu family for so many years. But now that you're here, your mind is normal, so you have to try your best to take over some shops, because it's impossible for the master to take care of the second young master for a lifetime, and I don't think you want to eat and drink other people's for the rest of your life, right? Ying Konglai stared at Qingdi tightly, although he still had a faint smile on his face, his tone was much more serious, and said, "What does the second young lady think?" ”

Qingdi thought about it carefully, nodded approvingly: "I naturally don't want to send people to the fence for the rest of my life, if I can be in charge of one or two shops and can support ourselves, it would be great." ”

Ying Konglai nodded lightly and said, "I heard from the master yesterday that the master has the idea of letting you take over a medicine hall first. I heard from the shopkeeper of the medicine hall that when you were in the Xiangfu before, you often had contact with the medicine hall. ”

Qingdi did establish contact with the Chu family's medicine hall through Chu Yaocen at that time, and she herself had a shallow understanding of pharmacology, but she was in charge of the medicine hall...... Can she do it?

Ying Konglai seemed to see her worries, so he comforted her and said: "The second young lady doesn't have to worry, the master will naturally appoint someone he can trust to help the second young lady manage it together, those people have been doing business with the master for decades, you just need to let it go." ”

Qingdi nodded, he was right, no matter what, just do it first.

It's just that Qingdi thought of a very important question again, and she asked, "So do the eldest young master and lady agree to me taking over the medicine hall?" ”
