As soon as Yun Tian, the chief manager of the Hou Mansion, ran to the gate, he heard Yun Chi getting angry, and couldn't help but have a toothache for a while.

"Yes, what the master said is, palm the lamp, quickly palm the lamp!"

"You prepare a gift, send it to the eldest princess's mansion tomorrow, Lord He is promoted, well, bring me the list for a while," Yun Chi threw out another order.

Yun Tian raised his head in amazement, facing the expressionless face of the master, he hurriedly lowered his head, he followed Yun Chi and walked a few steps, expecting Ai Ai to say, "It's not a small matter to call Miss Shangqing Ai to refer to it in detail?" ”

After Yun Chi returned to Beijing, he had to be named the Marquis of Enyi, but in addition to him, the Yun family was far away in the deep palace, and the hostess of the Hou Mansion had not been in charge for seven or eight years, and Yun Chi didn't care about these miscellaneous matters, so he brought up the little guy who grew up in a small place to be the chief steward of the Marquis of Enyi.

Yun Tian'er is the son of the Weiguo Mansion, although he was not cultivated according to the stewardship back then, but he knows what he should hear and see, how many years have there been no weddings and funerals in the left and right mansions, Bepfu, he just prepared according to the rules, but this He Rui and the county lord Jin Feng ......

Yun Tian'er also knew more or less from the guards who came back with Yun Chi that his master had gone out this time and had formed a friendship with the father and daughter of An Guohou, so this county lord was promoted, and he couldn't prepare some congratulatory gifts that didn't make a big mistake, but the Jinyang Eldest Princess's Mansion was headed by two women, which made it difficult for Yun Tian, who didn't marry a daughter-in-law.

Hearing Yun Tian mention Qing Ai, Yun Chi paused, "Wait a while and ask her to send me the gift list." ”

Qing Ai checked the long gilding list in his hand again, and thought in his heart, it was the festival gift sent to the palace every year, and there was no such dedication as this one.

Qing Ai, the future owner of this gift list, has seen it once, and when he saw it last year, Qing Ai was a little disappointed.

Ruihe's encounter with the county lord in Zhuzhou and the subsequent counterattack, Qing Ai also listened to the gossip of the mothers-in-law in the house a few times, thinking that she must be an arrogant and spicy woman, otherwise she would not be treated like that by her husband's family, let alone make such a retaliatory act after being killed again.

But when she saw it with her own eyes, Qing Ai found out that the rumored Ruihe county lord turned out to be a quiet and easy-going woman who was not good-looking, which made her pay more attention to her, especially that this county lord had spoken alone with her master in the glass pavilion for a long time!

Qing Ai put down the gift list in his hand, walked to the dressing mirror, carefully combed the royal blue mixed silver line grape pattern jacket on his body, picked a plum blossom silver hairpin from the makeup box and inserted it in the bun, took out a pair of mutton fat jade bracelets from the box and carefully put them on his wrist, thought about it, and took out a purse with plum petals from the drawer and stuffed it into the long jacket.

When everything was cleaned up, she looked at her slightly bland face in the mirror and secretly cheered herself up.

Qing Ai's intention to stay by Yun Chi's side, Yun Chi is very clear, but he has always turned a blind eye, today she finally waited, this is the first time that Yun Chi called her to his study at night.

Qing Ai is no longer young, she can't stay in the Hou Mansion of Enyi so unembarrassed, even if Yun Chi has no intention of marrying a wife now, she will start a family one day in the future, could it be that after she exhausted her youth, she stayed in the Hou Mansion as a housekeeper?

"Everything?" Yun Chi saw Qing Ai come in and put down the official document in his hand.

"The slave doesn't know what to prepare, Steward Yun made a list, and the slave changed it slightly according to the woman's preferences," Looking at Yun Chi sitting behind the bookcase, Qing Ai's face flushed, and he first put the ginseng soup in his hand in front of Yun Chi, "It's late at night, if the Hou Ye wants to stay up late, drink some ginseng soup to refresh yourself." ”

Thinking of his intention to call Qing Ai in, Yun Chi suddenly felt a little irritable, and even regretted why he was dizzy at that time, and gave such an order, "I know, everything is here, you can go back." ”

Yes? Calling yourself back? Qing Ai raised her head in astonishment.

Yun Tian'er came over and told her that when the Hou Ye asked her to take the gift slip to the study at night, that look was because she had misunderstood?

"Master Hou? If there is anything inappropriate, the slave and maid should write it down, and call the big housekeeper to change it tomorrow morning," Qing Ai mustered up the courage to step forward and reached out to open the gift list in front of Yun Chi, but did not take his hand back.

Yun Chi's eyes fell on Qing Ai's hands on his face, the skin of those hands was like congealed fat, the neatly trimmed nails were tinged with a faint pink, and with the mutton fat jade bracelet, it was a little difficult to tell which was the hand and which was the jade.

Seeing Yun Chi's gaze on his hand, Qing Ai was happy, Qing Ai's mother was a maid in the room of the Duchess of the First Wei State, and was later let out to marry by the Duchess of Guo, Qing Ai's father passed away early, and the Duchess of Guo saw that their mother and daughter were pitiful, so she asked someone to take them into the house and found an envoy to do it for her mother.

The Weiguo Mansion was convicted, and Qing Ai's mother and daughter were not sold because they were no longer slaves, but the loyal Qing Ai Niang took her to follow the Duchess of Wei Guo to exile to the northwest.

Later, Duchess Weiguo died, Qing Ai Niang also died, and Qing Ai almost didn't survive the place where she froze to death in the northwest, but fortunately, Yun Chi sent someone from the capital to pick her up.

Back to the capital, Qing Ai became the steward of the Hou Mansion of Enyi, because of her mother Yu Yun's kindness, Yun Chi never regarded her as a subordinate, and even invited a female gentleman to teach her to read and write, Qing Ai also thought that like those drama books written, the scholar fell into distress Miss rescued her, and the two eventually became a husband and wife in distress, but after being summoned by Queen Yun once, Qing Ai knew that she was just wishful thinking of her own will.

When Queen Yun said to give her a decent identity, a rich dowry, and choose a good family for her to marry, Qing Ai refused, what kind of family can compare to the Enyi Hou Mansion? What kind of man can match Yunchi? She knelt at the feet of Queen Yun and said categorically, even if she was a slave or a maid, she had to stay by the side of the Hou Ye.

Qing Ai remembered that Queen Yun didn't say anything, and the big palace maid named Qingyang came over and led her out, not even a reward.

In front of the Kunde Palace, Qingyang said that she was too stupid, but Qingai felt that Qingyang was jealous that she did not have such good fortune and good opportunities.

But this big girl of the Enyi Hou Mansion has been doing it for eight years, but she is just a big girl, until today, Qing Ai tries to tell herself not to be afraid, and not to be shy, Yun Chi is finally covered by herself, as long as today passes, she has got everything she wants.

"Master Hou," Qing Ai slowly raised his hand and stroked Yun Chi's face, "You're too tired for a while, it's better to rest early today, as for this gift list, it's not too late to look at it tomorrow morning." ”

A cold hand touched his face, and there was a faint plum fragrance between his fingers, Yun Chi suddenly thought of Li Jingyi in his mind, Zhou Shiqing said that Li Jingyi had just lost her pregnancy and soaked in the river for a long time, and the cold on her body was too hurtful, and it would take several years of hard work to really recuperate.

I seem to have hugged her just now, what is the fragrance on her body? Yun Chi couldn't think of it, as if it came too suddenly, and he just did it, if there was a next time......

Yun Chi rubbed his brows and didn't let himself think about it, and Qing Ai had already walked around the bookcase and walked to his side, gently supported his shoulder and said, "Slave help you go back and rest." ”

"Ah, Master Hou," Qing Ai didn't expect Yun Chi to hold her directly in his arms, he couldn't help but be ashamed and happy, and his voice couldn't help but tremble, "Master, don't ......"

That's not true!

Yun Chi tightened Qing Ai in his arms with both arms, but found that he didn't feel it at all at all, and he pushed Qing Ai away in annoyance, "You go out!" ”

"Master Hou, Ying Chu!" Before Qing Ai could rest her head on Yun Chi's shoulder, she was pushed away by him, and this push also pushed her full of tenderness and sweetness.

"Get out!" Yun Chi was already soberly sure that she was not her, not just a woman who could give him that feeling, he waved his hand irritably, "Get out!" ”

Qing Ai waited for eight years to wait for today's opportunity, if she went out so obediently, she would not have eight years of youth to spend like this, Qing Ai turned her heart sideways, knelt at Yun Chi's feet, and completely attached her upper body to Yun Chi's legs, "The slave is the master's person, and the master is willing to do whatever the slave wants, in fact, when the slave's mother is alive, she also hopes that the slave will serve by the master's side in the future,"

Qing Ai's hand slowly went up along Yun Chi's leg and climbed up his belt, "The slave doesn't ask for anything, just to stay by the master's side, the master is happy, and Qing Ai is happy even if he dies." ”

The hand on the belt was still delicate and white, but Yun Chi was only disgusted, and he got up, "I don't care how Aunt Yun arranges it, you let me out!" ”

After that, he shook off Qing Ai and went straight out of the study!

Waiting until the next day, Yun Tian'er, the chief steward of the Hou Mansion of Enyi, knew that Yun Chi had sat alone in the glazed pavilion all night, his frightened face was blue, he ran to the Thousand Trees Garden without washing his face, and saw Yun Chi coming out of the garden with a large bundle of plum blossoms, "Master Hou, who are you?" ”

"I've already read yesterday's gift list, get things ready," Yun Chi put all the plum branches in his hand into Yun Tian'er's hand, "Put these away, well, I remember that there is a pair of large bottles sent by Jiangnan in the library, and they are also loaded and sent to the Eldest Princess's Mansion,"

Do you want to send flowers to this gift? This is a "moldy" flower, send this to someone's house on this good day? Yun Tian'er also wanted to ask Yun Chi why he sat in the glazed pavilion all night, but he was holding a plum branch thicker than his waist, and his legs were not as long as Yun Chi.

"Steward Yun, Steward Yun," Yun Tian'er didn't bother to call someone over to help, when she saw a little maid hurriedly running over, "Our Qingai girl is sick, please ask the housekeeper to send someone to invite a doctor over." ”
