Chen stopped and warned Yao Shuqi: "If you dare to tell the young master about this, I will sell your family directly." Don't think I'm scaring you, as a housewife, I want to sell a housekeeper without anyone's consent. The young master is a filial child, and she can't disobey me for you; If she wants to continue to be this official, she doesn't dare. ”

Yao Shuqi naturally knew that although the young master valued him very much, no matter how much he valued him, the weight could not compare to his biological mother. Moreover, the Great Song Dynasty rules the world with filial piety, if the young master really disobeys the Chen family, even if the Chen family does not report to the court, the young master's political opponents can also use this to attack the young master, which will be a handle for the young master. Compared with a subordinate steward like him, which is more important, do you still want to say?

"Madam, I know you're not scaring me, and I won't go to sue the young master. Just ......"

"Stop." Chen stretched out his hand to stop Yao Shuqi's tirade, "If you want to dissuade me, then you can save it." These words, Mother Tao has been in my ear countless times in the past two days, and I am not interested in hearing you say them again. ”

"......" Yao Shuqi had to shut up depressedly.

Chen glanced at Yao Shuqi sternly: "You shouldn't know about this matter." It's not going to have serious consequences anyway, is it? At that time, no one would admit it, only that it was the little guy's own meaning, and even Young Master Qi couldn't blame the young master. And as a guest, he will not give me face and beat people to death in public. When the time comes, I'll deal with the little guy in private. ”

She paused, then looked back at Yao Shuqi again: "Don't worry, I'm not such a ruthless person, I will give a sum of money to let him go, and I won't want his life." ”

Yao Shuqi was speechless, and he was also very aggrieved: "Madam, I didn't think about it that way, and I never thought about it that way. ”

Chen didn't speak, and beckoned to the maid in the distance, and the two little maids hurriedly ran over: "Madam." ”

"Let's go back." Chen said, walking towards his yard.

Seeing Chen leave, Yao Shuqi let out a long breath.

The Chen family is becoming more and more like the wife of an upper-class society, and there is already a decisive momentum in her body, Yao Shuqi is both relieved and worried for the young master.

It is gratifying that there is such a mother, if she is not confused, it will be a great help to the young master's career; But if you make a fool, the lethality will increase greatly, and I don't know if it will bring big trouble to the young master.

"Steward Yao, young master, they're back." A little guy came running to say goodbye.

Yao Shuqi didn't care about those who didn't have it, and immediately hurried to the front door to greet Qi Muyuan and his own young master.

Chen's side also got the news, and she asked Tao's mother to tell her: "Let Lan Mu hurry up and listen to Fengxuan." ”

Borrowing from Aoki's name, Chen didn't bother to think of a good name for this little guy who couldn't stay for a few days, and directly applied the name "Blue Wood" to him.

Du Jinning and Qi Muyuan got out of the car, and while walking inside, they introduced the distribution of Du Mansion.

Qi Muyuan heard Du Jinning say that he originally lived in an empty courtyard on all sides, and specially asked Du Jinning to take him on a detour.

As the head of a spy agency, Qi Muyuan saw the wonders of Du Jinning's courtyard at a glance.

He glanced at Du Jinning meaningfully: "This yard is good." ”

He pointed to the empty water: "However, if someone really wants to sneak up on you, such a wide water surface is actually a flaw, you only need to send someone with more water skills to dive over, you can touch your yard, and it is also difficult to guard." ”

Du Jinning nodded approvingly: "I also thought of this." But I'm just an ordinary official, concentrating on agriculture, and there aren't many enemies, so no one should want my life so much, right? ”

"Not before, but now Cao Hongshou must want your life." Qi Mu is far away.

"Then he's got to have that ability." Du Jinning smiled, and then pointed to the green plants planted along the shore of the pond, "See?" Even if someone comes over and wants to go ashore smoothly, it is not easy. And by the time they cut down these thorns, my nursing home would have been in place long ago. ”

What does Du Jinning do? In my last life, I studied plants. Although there are many ways to protect the riverbank, the most economical and easiest way to do it is to plant thorny plants around the riverbank. These plants not only play a protective role, but also decorate the yard with beautiful flowers, killing two birds with one stone.

Qi Muyuan's eyes lit up, he stepped forward to look at those plants carefully, and asked, "What varieties are these?" ”

Although there was a death order, Qi Muyuan couldn't tell Du Jinning what he was doing now, but under his intentional or unintentional disclosure, Du Jinning clearly knew what Qi Muyuan was helping Zhao Yu do now.

She knew that these things might be of great use to Qi Muyuan, so she carefully introduced the names and growth habits of the plants.

Knowing this, Qi Muyuan liked Du Jinning's island-like courtyard more: "Living here is indeed very quiet. ”

Du Jinning shook his head: "It's okay now, but it won't work after a while." ”

She pointed to the farmland outside: "In the summer, the frogs crow......"

Everyone was stunned and couldn't help laughing.

Really. This piece of farmland is quite pleasing to the eye after the seedlings grow green, but it can't stand the fact that there are many frogs in the farmland. On summer nights, as soon as the frog crows, Du Jinning doesn't want to sleep in the house.

"So, I'm going to move to Deyue Pavilion." Du Jinning said, "Next to Deyue Pavilion, there is a small courtyard called Tingfeng Xuan, and you have been living there for the past few days. ”

She pointed in a direction ahead: "Let's go, let's go over." ”

When the group arrived at the door of Tingfeng Xuan, Du Jinning was about to invite Qi Muyuan in, when she saw a strange little girl in a green coat and a small hat standing at the gate of the courtyard, her smile froze on her face.

"What's wrong?" Qi Muyuan immediately noticed Du Jinning's abnormality.

Du Jinning knew that if he didn't make a reasonable explanation, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to hide it from the keen Qi Muyuan.

She pointed to the little guy and asked Yao Shuqi, "Steward Yao, this is ......"

When things got to this point, Yao Shuqi had no choice but to bite the bullet and say: "Mrs. said that there were not enough people in the family, so I bought a few people a while ago." This guy is one of them. During this time, Tao's mother has been asking people to teach them the rules, and today she sent them everywhere. ”

Du Jinning took a deep look at the little guy.

This little guy, sixteen or seventeen years old, looks a little neater than ordinary people at first glance, but if you look closely, his eyebrows are very delicate, and his skin is clean and fair. What's even more indescribable is that he has an indescribable temperament, how to say it, a little melancholy, and a little detached, and when he stops there, it becomes a scenery of his own, which makes people can't help but explore his past and heart.

It's really hard for Chen to find such a person!
