On that day, Qi Yu thanked Lin Guiyan and said goodbye to Lin Guiyan after the downtown area, saying that it was a banquet and thanks, but neither of them knew that the relationship between the two families could not be done at all.

Lin Yangui also politely refused immediately.

After Qi Yu returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, she saw where the girl who asked her to be in peace that day was waiting for her. When I saw her, I was busy catching up.

"Miss, slave damn it!" The little girl was going to kneel down after speaking.

Qi Yu helped her up, "What's your name?" ”

The little girl lowered her head and whispered, "From the new master, there must be a new name." It turned out that the slave could not be used. ”

Qi Yu saw that she was actually obedient, and she was also diligent and quick to clean that day, "You will be my attendant in the future, and if you have a name, you will be called Wangmian." Do you like it? ”

The little girl was very excited, and her face flushed: "The slave likes it!" Thank you, Miss! ”

Wangmian happily walked back to the courtyard with Qi Yu, but Qi Yu had a complicated expression along the way, which made it difficult for people to see through.

When he returned to the courtyard, it was already dark, and Qi Yu didn't just say that he didn't have an appetite and didn't want to eat too much, so he didn't order to pass the meal, but just hastily picked up a few pieces of pear blossom cake on the table and ate it to his heart's content.

Wangmian helped her remove her makeup and hair, changed her clothes, and dipped her mahogany comb in water to help her comb her hair, but suddenly heard a small sound outside the door, and the two looked at each other.

Qi Yu's face was calm.

Wang Mian was the lady's personal attendant, so she definitely wanted to show it, "Don't be afraid, miss, the slave will go and see it immediately." ”

Wangmian took two or three steps to the door, and before he pushed the door, he began to shout: "Who? Who's making noise outside? ”

After a few moments, there was no answer, but there was another sound. Wangmian couldn't, so he had to push the door and go out to check.

But Qi Yu still sat in the same place, without urging or hindering.

Wangmian had to take a step.

Qi Yu looked at the blurred appearance inside the bronze mirror, and the red candle next to the dresser kept swaying with a pinch of flames.

"Squeak-" The wall facing back suddenly had a small window opened, only to hear a "pop", and a dart was nailed to the pear blossom wood table beside Qi Yu in front of him, with a cyan silk cloth on it.

Qi Yu's eyes quickly swept back to the door, and when he was sure that there was no figure, he immediately reached out and put the darts and silk cloth into his cuffs.

Restore the way it was and wait for Wangmian to come back.

"Miss, the slave maid just went to see it, and there was nothing. Presumably a nearby cat is running around, bumping and bumping and making noises. ”

Qi Yu closed his eyelids and rubbed his temples with his hands, "Since that's the case, then it's fine." Today I am a little tired and want to go to bed early. ”

"By the way, I've always slept lightly, so you don't have to keep vigil in the back room, go to the side hall to rest."

Wangmian shook his head: "The slave sleeps on the couch outside the door, which is convenient for the young lady to call." ”

Qi Yu didn't persuade again, and nodded: "Whatever you want." ”

Waiting for Wangmian to help her put down the bed curtains of lotus root powder layer by layer, listening to the sound of the door closing, Qi Yu's eyes opened and sat up from the bed.

Lift the corner of the curtain, let the candlelight outside shine close to the bed, and quickly take out the silk cloth from his hand and spread it out.

The words on it were written when the wind was exhausted, and she had seen it and recognized it at once.

I didn't have any other instructions, but I came to give her a task: to get close to Lin Yangui and attend the palace banquet.

With just this sentence, Qi Yu couldn't say what he felt in his heart. Since Feng Shi can write Lin Yangui's name at once like this, it means that she is surrounded by eyeliner or a secret guard who is planted when the wind is exhausted, then she must know everything about Feng Shi today.

Including that she was calculated by Lu Siyan and Jin Rao, and was injured by He Junlian.

Qi Yu only felt that the upper and lower teeth wrapped in the right cheek were very hard, and his brows were twisted into Sichuan characters and relaxed.

No matter what she does, it doesn't matter, and her emotions at this moment are superfluous.

Qi Yu pressed the silk cloth under the pillow, these things were not to be left behind, but she would only find a chance to deal with them tomorrow.

And now, Qi Yu doesn't want to think about anything anymore, she is alive, flesh and blood, and has to sleep.

That's the only thing she thinks about right now.

Qi Yu's eyes were closed, his temples were tense, and he couldn't sleep

No matter how she annoys Lu Siyan and Jin Rao in today's play, there will definitely be more 'big gifts' that need to be received in the future.

It's just that the days that follow are surprisingly quiet, but Qi Yu is uneasy, she feels that this will only be a precursor to a storm.

What I don't want is that for many days, in addition to Wangmian, a few other girls in the yard always go out early and return late, and when they get closer, they know that it is the eldest son of the Prime Minister's Mansion who is coming back.

Lu Xuzhou went out on a study tour last month, and tomorrow is the day he returns home.

The Lu family loves this eldest son very much, and I heard rumors from the outside world that Lu Xuzhou is also a rich man, five cars and five years old, can recite poetry, and can compose his own songs at the age of eight.

After Wang Mian learned the news, he proposed to plan for Qi Yu: "Miss, you have just come to the house, and the eldest prince's banquet is not more than homely, and some celebrities will be invited." This is the first time we met, do you think about bringing some gifts or something? ”

Hearing this, Qi Yu lowered his eyes.

Wangmian's heart is indeed meticulous but lacks thoughtfulness.

She is helpless in the house, just fighting the tigers alone, in order to ensure the innocence of her identity, there is no value at all, plus everyone is noble, even if she uses the whole month to worship, she can't buy a Ming Hall, but it provokes jokes.

"It's so good, the heart really needs to be had, you go and get this month's money first, and go out of the house with me."

Wangmian responded, perhaps young and longing for the world outside the house, and her steps were exceptionally brisk when she stepped over the doorrail.

Qi Yu didn't have anything to sit on, sitting in the yard in a daze, the sun was weak, and such days made her feel a little boring.

Maybe in this prime minister's mansion, she can't feel at ease at all.

Qi Yu woke up on the wooden couch and subconsciously called Wangmian's name, but the courtyard was empty.

From the side came a servant girl, the sleeves of her arms rolled up high and fastened with a long cloth rope.

"Miss, Wangmian hasn't returned yet."

Qi Yu frowned and pointed at her: "Put down all the work in your hands." You accompany me to the bookkeeper. ”

Qi Yu knew that she had no deterrent power in this mansion, but the distribution of monthly gifts was a rule and a process, and this kind of principled issue could also be used to make things difficult?

Qi Yu and the maidservant walked quickly to the account room, and saw Wangmian standing in the corner of the house, holding a cloth bag in his hand, and he didn't look like much.

There are many people in and out of the account room, which not only manages the income of money expenditures, but also stores many treasures of all sizes and treasures.

Qi Yu walked into the room, and the old man Xu, who was sitting on the wooden table, just squinted his eyes and glanced at it, and then buried his head and picked up the brush that was not more than a single circle and circled it.

As soon as Wang Mian saw Qi Yu, she leaned over in small steps, her eyes were red, like a frightened rabbit.

"What's wrong?" Qi Yu asked out loud: "Don't they give money?" ”

Wang Mian shook his head and lifted the money bag in his hand: "Give is giving, but it's obviously not enough." The slave asked, but the old gentleman ignored him. ”

Qi Yu

patted her on the shoulder, and when he looked up, he saw that a maid had just taken Yuefeng away, and the pockets in her hands were bulging in stark contrast to her own.

"Stop!" Qi Yu let out a snort.

She stepped forward and asked the maid, "Which yard are you a girl?" “

The maid was stunned for a moment, and her head was slightly upturned: "Miss Yan's courtyard." ”

Qi Yu snatched the money bag from the girl's hand, and the girl was startled and shouted, "What are you doing?!" ”

Qi Yu ignored it, walked up to Old Man Xu, threw the two money bags on the table, and stroked his palms slowly.

Old man Xu touched his nose, coughed a few times, and slowly attached his hands to the bilateral handles of the wooden chair sitting under his buttocks, he was like a withered old tree, and the branch under the empty robe was slowly lifted up from the mud.

He just stood up like that, looked at Qi Yu and didn't say a word.

Qi Yu snorted coldly: "Mr. Xu, are you confused?" ”

Obviously, Old Man Xu didn't expect Qi Yu's first sentence to be so angry, his dry eyes widened slightly, but the eyelids were still drooping: "Miss, is there anything wrong with this?" ”

Qi Yu said: "When did the rules in this house change? I understand that there is something different from my concubine, but even my maid can see that this month's money is obviously missing two catties, if Mr. Xu is not confused, how could he make such a mistake? ”

"I have respected you in the Lu family for many years, but you don't seem to look down on me as a newcomer."

Old man Xu's mouth moved, and his two beards trembled slightly: "Miss, don't use big words to press the old slave, it's just that this month is approaching the end of the month, plus the expenses of the eldest son's return, these should be used on the blade." ”

Qi Yu's eyes were cold: "I see that Mr. is good at using Mobao, how to write the word rules?" ”

"I didn't know that there was a rule for reducing monthly money at the end of the month, not even the big families of foreign families, did the money be used for the blade, is it to tear down the east wall and make up the west wall?"

Qi Yu said that the two money bags were opened, and the gap between the two was obvious.

"Besides, why only subtract mine, who takes the money is not urgently needed, maybe today my Qi Yu will lack a penny to save his life, and with a few words from Mr., will he take a human life?!"

After a series of questions, Old Man Xu knew in his heart that Qi Yu was a difficult person!

He smiled slightly, his face was as uneven as a cave, and he made people's hearts furious: "Miss is serious, don't exaggerate." These words were a lot of torment, and the old slave thought about it for the young lady with all his heart, but he was beaten upside down. ”

Qi Yu glanced at him and waited for him to continue.

"Miss has just come to Kyoto, and the things in the Prime Minister's House are also fully stocked. Where's the monthly money in the house is a remarkable, near the end of the month, the old slave will deduct part for you, and then give it next month, this kind of painstaking work, Miss self-conscious. ”

Qi Yu seemed to have been pricked in the ankle with a needle, and the disgusting feeling of the hair climbed from the bottom to the top, and he only felt that there were too many nasty filths in this Lu Mansion.

Qi Yu said: "Don't bother. Please count it! ”

Who knew that this old man Xu actually said: "Miss, don't refuse the kindness of the old slave, the old slave has managed the finances of the house for many years, and some things are still more accommodating than Miss." “

Qi Yu frowned, this old man, it seems that he doesn't give it!

It seems that he is bullying himself and has no backing!
