I told Lao Zhu to close the door and let them each go about their own business, and I walked towards the side hall, and as soon as I reached the door, I saw the somewhat emaciated figure sitting on a chair standing up and looking at me.

"Ma'am."

"Lord Wu."

I was not surprised to see Wu Yanqiu here, but I was a little surprised to see that compared to the gentle and introverted in the past, and the calmness of grasping everything, at this moment, he seemed a little obviously panicked, and even, I could clearly feel that compared to the appearance of Yang Wanyun at Yang Wanyun's birthday banquet a few days ago, he was now a little thinner and haggard.

As soon as he saw me, a faint smile appeared on his pale face, and he bowed to me.

I crossed the threshold and walked up to him: "Lord Wu, you step on the ground." ”

"Where. Don't dare, don't dare. ”

He seemed very cautious, and did not speak much, and when I went to the main seat and sat down, I stretched out my hand to him and made a gesture to him to sit down, and he sat down.

When he looked down, the cup of tea in his hand was cold.

I smiled apologetically: "I have just returned to the capital not long ago, and I haven't prepared anything yet, and there are not many people at home who have to use it, so I neglected Lord Wu." ”

"No, you're welcome, madam."

said that I don't have to be polite, he himself was polite, and said with a smile: "I look here, it's very orderly, but there are fewer people, I'm afraid that Mrs. will be wronged." ”

"It's not aggrieved, it's true that there are fewer people. I just went out on the street to buy some maids and servants. ”

"Where did Madame go to buy it?"

"The tooth shop in the west of the city."

"Are they all reliable?"

"It seems that they are still loyal and reliable people."

He nodded, and said, "However, Madame's mansion is so big, it is inevitable that some people will covet it. In addition to maids and servants, there should also be people who take care of the home. ”

"Lord Wu said that my heart is in the heart," I said with a smile: "It's just that the people who take care of the home must check it clearly, otherwise, I am afraid that it will not be the care of the home, but the wolf will be lured." ”

"Madame's words are reasonable."

He nodded, but as if he remembered something, he suddenly said, "Madam, if Madame needs reliable people to come to the home nursing home, this official can find some." ”

"Oh? Is Lord Wu willing to help me? ”

"It's just a small favor, but—I'm afraid Madame won't be at ease."

I smiled: "What do I have to worry about Lord Wu?" ”

He also smiled: "Because the people this official said are all people released from the palace royal forest army." ”

I was stunned.

"Madame also knows that the people in the palace are elected every few years and released every few years, and now some of them are about to be released. When it comes to the ability to take care of the home, I am afraid that there are not many people in the world who can be better than them, but it depends on whether the lady can rest assured and let them take care of the home for the lady. ”

“……”

I fell silent, looking at him half hesitantly, half puzzled.

I believe that from the first step I entered this mansion, there must have been people in the palace around me watching, with Pei Yuanhao's temperament, it is impossible to put me in an uncontrolled place, maybe it is the Imperial Forest Army, or the secret guard, these do not need to be placed on the table, and everyone knows it - it's just that Wu Yanqiu proposed at this moment to use the Imperial Forest Army released from the palace to be my guardian, did he mean to do so, or did he have other plans?

However, his gaze is not something that I can see through.

And I also realized that the force behind him is the queen Chang Qing, and Chang Qing has a deep friendship with me, and it is impossible for him not to know that if he really wants to harm me, or plot against me or something, it will not be him who comes.

After the two of them looked at each other calmly for a while, I smiled and said, "Lord Wu is so enthusiastic, but he has done me a great favor. It's just that Lord Wu also knows that employing people also depends on their hands, so it's better to find a day for them to come over and let me take a look, if it fits the eye, I'll pick up a bargain. ”

He nodded and smiled, "Madame has a point. Well, in two days, I'll let the leader come over, and the lady will meet first and then make a decision. ”

"That's fine."

Speaking of which, this matter has been dealt with, and it just so happens that Cai Wei also brought us hot tea, with the dim sum that he just bought from the street, which can be regarded as hospitality, Wu Yanqiu obviously sat here for a long time, and only had a cup of cold tea, which was frozen, and after the hot tea was served, he immediately picked it up and took a sip.

On that pale face, there was a faint hint of red.

Then, he looked at me.

I immediately felt something, but seeing that he was still a little hesitant, as if he didn't know how to speak, I simply became a heroine among women, opened my mouth first, and said with a smile: "Lord Wu came to the door today, and he sat empty for so long waiting for me, it won't be as simple as just sending me some nursing homes, right?" ”

Hearing me say this, his originally reddish face turned white again, but it was a burst of red and white, which seemed to be extremely embarrassing, and he hesitated for a moment before he said softly: "Madame is a transparent person, and Yanqiu really can't hide this matter from Madame, but I took the liberty to come today and beg Madame to give a prescription." ”

"What's the matter, Lord Wu is sick?"

He glanced at me, and before I could speak, I looked at him with a smile: "I'm not the holy hand of hanging pots to help the world, where can I prescribe a prescription to save people?" There is only one disease that I will cure - lovesickness. Lord Wu, are you suffering from this disease? ”

As soon as he heard me tease me, his face immediately turned red again.

I couldn't help but smile in my heart.

Speaking of which, Wu Yanqiu is also an important minister in the court, in this heavenly dynasty, he has always been strategic, calm and resourceful are higher than ordinary people, but he didn't expect him to have such a time, obviously he has already passed the year of establishment, and he has already experienced a lot of changes in the world, but in terms of love, it is as simple as a mirror and clear water, so that it is a little surprising and a little funny.

Seeing him cover his mouth and cough lightly twice to hide his embarrassment, I couldn't help but laugh: "Is that so?" ”

He couldn't avoid it, and finally said in a slumpy voice: "Madam, Mo, don't make fun of me." ”

This time, I didn't make fun of him, but I laughed slowly.

Although I was a little surprised, he would come to me for this matter, but since he came to me, it means that this matter is here for him, there is a turnaround, otherwise, he has already turned down the marriage with Yang Mansion, it is a foregone conclusion, so why bother to ask me to "open a prescription"?

Feeling that there was no teasing in my smile, his face slowly calmed down.

I asked, "Lord Wu is here today for Jin Yao, right?" ”

He acquiesced.

I smiled and said, "Lord Wu wants me to prescribe a prescription, before the general doctor diagnoses the disease, I have to look and hear and ask, I don't know other methods, I will only ask, I hope that Lord Wu will answer me a question, I will prescribe this prescription according to Lord Wu's answer." ”

He seemed to realize something, and said, "Madam, excuse me." ”

"At the birthday banquet in Yang's Mansion that day, Jin Yao asked Lord Wu this question, and today, I just helped her ask again and asked for an answer. Master Wu handles so many official duties and makes so many decisions every day, but have you ever made a wrong decision? ”

Wu Yanqiu glanced up at me, his eyes flickered, and after a moment of silence, he spoke, and replied in a slightly hoarse voice: "The saint has a thousand worries, and there is still one mistake. What's more, a layman like Yanqiu. ”

"Lord Wu admits that he made a mistake in that decision?"

“……”

He didn't speak, just kept silent, but I also knew that that was his acquiescence, but a big official like him was used to the shelf, and it was impossible for him to admit his mistakes clearly, let alone a marriage event.

However, sometimes, people still need to admit their mistakes.

I didn't say a word, but I looked at him with burning eyes, and the two of them seemed to be deadlocked, and after being silent for a long time, when Wu Yanqiu spoke again, there was a wry smile on his face, and he said slowly: "Yanqiu has been under the Taishi since he was a child, and he follows the teacher's teachings in every detail. As for love, Yanqiu is not a person of wood and stone, but in Yanqiu's opinion, a woman who matches herself-" He said, hesitated again, glanced at me, I also looked at him, saw that he took a deep breath, as if he had made some decision, and said in a deep voice: "It should be like a lady, a woman with a good heart and a wise nature, gentle and submissive." ”

I immediately smiled and said, "Lord Wu has lifted up." ”

He hurriedly bowed his hand: "I hope that Madame will forgive me for my offense." ”

I smiled and shook my head: "It's my pleasure." ”

He shook his head lightly again, and said with a hint of chagrin: "But I never imagined that I would meet a woman like Miss Yang Jinyao." ”

I secretly laughed in my heart: "Sister Jin Yao, there is no gentle and obedient at all." ”

He smiled bitterly: "I can't figure it out." ”

“……”

"Especially on that day, at the birthday banquet in the Yang Mansion, I found out that this young lady, who should have been raised in the boudoir, dared to disguise herself as a man and come to see Yanqiu secretly, this is really-"

"It's bold and ridiculous, isn't it?"

“……”

He was silent for a while, and nodded.

I smiled and said, "She, she doesn't meet the standards of her own wife as envisioned by Lord Wu, right?" ”

"Yes."

"But Lord Wu regretted turning down this marriage, right?"

His expression was complicated, frustrated, and dazed, as if he didn't understand why he had such a move, and he had such a mood, but I couldn't have understood it all the more - there is no love that should and shouldn't be, and it is not something that can be controlled by people.

I smiled and said, "So, Lord Wu asked me to prescribe a prescription, is it in the hope of saving this marriage?" ”

He looked up at me, was silent for a moment, but said something that surprised me.

"Not really."
