Chapter 62: The Beginning of Love
Mao Leyan stretched his waist and got up from the warm quilt with some reluctance. ╔ Heavenly Master is above: Don't mess around╗ As soon as I got dressed, the door was pushed open with a babbling sound, Mao Leyan had long hair and a shawl, looked back at King Qing with sleepy eyes, and said, "I'm changing clothes!" ”
King Qing looked at her appearance, she just woke up like a fresh orchid, with a bit of laziness. His heart moved inexplicably, and he said, "This king asks you, why don't you want the share given to you by the palace?" ”
Mao Leyan didn't react for a while, "What? Then it occurred to me that Concubine Ning probably said this to him. It's just that Concubine Ning said this, and she was indeed confident enough, how did she know if he would believe her or believe in herself?
However, now that she has found a job, there is no need to continue to eat and drink for nothing. So, she said: "Oh, you said this, I got a job anyway, and I think it's not good to always make you suffer like this, just one meal or two, and I don't want to go for a long time!" ”
"Why don't you want to go? You are Mao Xuelian's sister, that is the king's relatives, and this king should be good to you! King Qing was speechless for a long time before he came up with such a reason to refute her.
Mao Leyan squinted at him, not thinking that he would have this heart for Mao Xuelian, but when people said this, they should be grateful out of politeness, "Thank you for your concern, but now that I have found a job, I can't keep bothering the prince like this." ╔The Secret Woman of the Demon President╗"
King Qing's two eyebrows turned into caterpillars, his face was already very gloomy, and he said, "Is it necessary for you to be so rusty?" Also, whose house are you doing as a bodyguard? ”
"Wen Yi Building!" Mao Leyan didn't hide it, although it was a Qinglou, she did a proper job, and every penny she earned back was blood and sweat.
"Wen Yi Lou?" King Qing asked suspiciously, "Whose courtyard is this?" "Generally, if it is the mansion of a wealthy person, it is named after the surname, for example, if the surname is Chen, it will be the Chen Mansion. Which Chen Mansion? It is the Chen Mansion of Duanle Silk Village. As for Wenyi Building, Yixing Building, etc., such as the name of the annex or restaurant.
Mao Leyan replied: "It's not anyone's other courtyard, it's the Qinglou!" ”
"Qinglou?" King Qing let out a violent roar, looked at Mao Leyan menacingly, and the green tendons on his forehead burst out, "You go to the Qinglou to do things?" ”
Mao Leyan glanced at him, "Are you so shocked?" How's the Qinglou? There have also been two side concubines of the Qinglou in your house. Moreover, the Qinglou guard is a legitimate profession, I sell my labor, and the Qinglou pays me, which is a normal employment relationship. ╔The Secret Woman of the Demon President╗"
"This king doesn't know what nonsense you're talking about, where you're going to do things, this king doesn't care about you, but it can't be Qinglou." King Qing's face was dark, there was fire jumping in his eyes, and today's emotions fell together, and he was about to torture him crazy. He didn't care about letting people know about the palace going to the Qinglou to do things, but he couldn't bear Mao Leyan going in and out of the Qinglou.
Mao Leyan sat in front of the dressing table, Xiao Shu stepped forward to comb her hair in fear, and secretly said in her ear: "Don't fight with the prince." ”
Xiao Shu didn't want Mao Leyan to go to Qinglou to do things, so this time she was on King Qing's side. Mao Leyan also knew, but what did she have to say to convince them that she was just going to work, that her position and identity were a guard, and that she was selling labor, not dignity and body.
It's just that she also knows that it's useless to quarrel with him now, the two have different concepts, and everything they say is in vain. But it was impossible for her to compromise, and before she found the job, it seemed that there were many other things that were not suitable. Some are suitable, and the salary is not high, although this is hard now, but it can earn three taels of silver a month, she is now planning to tell Xiao Shu and Fan'er not to take their clothes back to wash, she is more than enough to feed them.
Seeing that she was silent, King Qing said irritably: "Did you listen to what this king said?" Go back immediately and quit your job, and you will stay in Maoyuan in peace in the future, and you are not allowed to go anywhere. ╔Full-time alchemist╗"
Mao Leyan said lightly: "You just said that you don't care what job I go for, as long as it's not a Qinglou, and now you say that you don't allow me to go out, what you say is inconsistent!" ”
King Qing was stunned for a moment, and said with some annoyance: "Fang is the only way, now is the present, and now this king said that if you don't let you out, you won't let you go out." ”
Mao Leyan looked at him sideways, Xiao Shu was curling up her hair and putting on a crown for her, and she was used to dressing her up in men's clothes recently, so she also tied her with a crown.
King Qing's eyes flashed, he looked at her suspiciously, and reached out to pinch her chin, there was a trace of confusion in his eyes, "You look like this, where has this king seen you." ”
Mao Leyan forgot about the previous meeting in Qinglou for a while, and lied before that Mao Xiaoyao was her senior brother, but now this appearance is exposed in front of him, and it is difficult to prevent him from being suspicious. But fortunately, she also remembered that she said that Mao Xiaoyao liked to pretend to be her, so she said lightly: "Of course I have seen it, you have seen my senior brother, my senior brother is like this, but it is just a mask, he is really ugly." "It's so reasonable, people can't find a flaw. When lying has become a habit, even the person concerned will not be able to tell which sentence is true and which is false. She sometimes thinks that she really has a senior brother, and this senior brother is very ugly, and she likes to dress up like her. ╔ Domineering after marriage: sky-high little wife╗
King Qing's eyes were a little confused, "If you are serious, your senior brother is indeed very similar to you dressed in men's clothes." ”
"What if you are serious? Could it be that I lied to you? Mao Leyan said angrily, "Besides, you said that you met him in the Qinglou, and I am a woman, so why don't you go to the Qinglou to see the man?" ”
King Qing's face was a little unnatural, and he cleared his throat and said, "Well, this is also true. ”
Mao Leyan was dressed up, and Fan Er came in with hot water to let her wash her face and rinse her mouth.
Once you're done rinsing, it's time for dinner. Because they wanted to accommodate Mao Leyan, everyone had to advance the time of dinner. Lawei usually goes home after eating in the restaurant, his job is to pack food, and he often packs some good things back in the restaurant, so these days, there is no shortage of meat.
King Qing hadn't convinced Mao Leyan yet, so he also sat down to eat together. It's all home-cooked light side dishes, but he has a great appetite, eats two bowls in a row, and sighs: "Xiao Shu, your skills are really good, much better than those chefs in the palace." ”
Xiao Shu blushed and said modestly: "Lord Wang, you are laughing, where can these side dishes be compared with the delicacies of the palace?" It is probably because the prince is used to eating the delicacies of the mountains and seas, and occasionally eats some home-cooked dishes, and thinks that the novelty is appetizing. ╔The Prime Minister's Wife╗"
King Qing said: "Maybe yes, in the future, Mao Yuan will add a pair of chopsticks to this king, and this king will come over for dinner." ”
Mao Leyan was stunned, "You want to come over for dinner?" ”
King Qing stopped his chopsticks and looked at her, "What's the problem?" Xiao Shu and Fan Er were originally from the palace, and this king wants to come here for dinner, so they should make it for this king. ”
Mao Leyan said: "It's not impossible, but let me tell you, you can't let Xiao Shu and Fan'er spend the whole day preparing dishes for you, you can eat whatever they do, and there must be no complaints." ”
King Qing snorted, "How much money do they earn when they go to help others wash their clothes now?" The king will pay double the wages, plus the money for the meal, and from tomorrow he will not be allowed to wash his clothes, but to serve the king's two meals. Originally, if Xiao Shu Fan was still his subordinate, of course he could not pay the salary, but Xiao Shu's deed of sale had already been given to Mao Leyan, and they were all Mao Leyan's people, and if he wanted to call them, he would naturally have to pay them. And he can also see that Mao Leyan doesn't want Xiao Shu and the two to work so hard, so he has the right to treat it as a favor.
Mao Leyan was naturally very happy when he heard him say this, in such a cold weather, let alone washing so many clothes, even touching some cold water, it made the whole person tremble. However, after a few days, Xiao Shu and Fan'er's hands were frostbitten, which was unbearable to see. If King Qing prepares two meals for him with wages, in addition to saving some money for groceries, he can also earn a salary, which is really good.
Xiao Shu and Fan Er were overjoyed, and hurriedly thanked King Qing. King Qing's eyes flashed with joy, looking at Mao Leyan, Mao Leyan just looked up at him, the eyes of the two touched in the air, King Qing saw the joy in her eyes, and suddenly felt that the pores of the whole body were dancing happily, and his heart was beating.
Mao Leyan ate a good meal, put on a cloak and was about to go out, Xiao Shu hurriedly shouted, "Don't go yet, the padded jacket that I sewed with Fan Er overnight last night, wear it inside." With that, he pulled Mao Leyan into the room.
King Qing looked at the direction where Mao Leyan disappeared with a smirk, and asked Fan'er, "Your young lady, is she a woman with a very bad temper?" ”
Fan Er replied in a panic: "Miss has a good temper!" ”
King Qing snorted and said unhappily: "This king said that she has a bad temper, she is just a bad temper!" He suddenly changed his face, which startled Fan'er, who didn't dare to go against his words, so he echoed: "Yes..... Yes, Wang...... The prince is right, the young lady's temper is not very ..... How good! ”
King Qing was even more unhappy, and changed his normal way to defend Mao Leyan, "It's not really bad, is it?" This king only said that it was occasionally bad, but most of them were very good, where was it as bad as you said? Right? ”
Fans are a little at a loss, saying that it is good or not, and it is not good to say that it is bad, so is it bad or good? She was a little trembling, she was already timid, but now she said no, if she didn't say it, she didn't say it, she didn't say it, so she had to say no: "Yes, yes!" ”
King Qing glanced at her and said, "Okay, you pack up your things and go down!" ”
If the fan was amnesty, he hurriedly packed up the dishes and chopsticks and retreated.
Mao Leyan changed his clothes, put the dagger in his small sheepskin boots, dressed in a cyan men's brocade suit, wrapped in a gray cotton jacket on the outside, plus a black cape, the cloak hat was decorated with pure fox fur, and it was warm to wear on his head.
Although this kind of dress is a bit nondescript, but the weather is cold, who can take care of the demeanor?
King Qing looked at Mao Leyan, who was clumsyly dressed, and said with some dissatisfaction: "I don't understand why you are blessed and don't enjoy it, you want to be a guard, you go back tonight and quit immediately, otherwise this king will take Wenyi Lou tomorrow." ”
Mao Leyan only said that he laughed, and then replied promisedly: "Well, I know, go back and resign tonight, and then collect your salary and leave." Lord, you should go back too, right? Xiao Shu said that you have been here since noon, you might as well accompany the princess if you have time, she has been in poor health recently, help me greet her. ”
King Qing naturally knew that the princess was not in good health, but he hadn't taken it to heart yet, and now when he heard Mao Leyan say this, he remembered it in his heart, and remembered that he was going to see the princess in a while.
