Qi Mingle's question, Zhang Yuanxiu, who asked it, was stunned. After a while, he replied ambiguously: "Let's see when the official business can be completed." ”

"Okay." Qi Mingle put down the curtain and turned to leave.

Zhang Yuanxiu picked up the pen again, and when he was about to put down the pen, he suddenly raised his eyes inexplicably and glanced in the direction of the door. The dark blue felt curtain was blown by the wind, and you could faintly see the afterglow of the setting sun falling on the floor tiles outside.

Only then did Zhang Yuanxiu retract his gaze and put all his attention on the official document.

It was dark early in winter, and just after the unitary hour, the lights were already in place in various parts of the house. When Feng Mo came in to change tea for Zhang Yuanxiu, he saw Zhang Yuanxiu reading a travelogue, obviously the business had been dealt with.

Feng Mo put the hot tea on Zhang Yuanxiu's left side, and secretly glanced at Zhang Yuanxiu several times, looking like he wanted to say something.

"Say." Zhang Yuanxiu's gaze did not take his eyes off the book.

Feng Mo hesitated for a moment and reminded: "Childe, the young lady must still be waiting for you over there." ”

Zhang Yuanxiu raised his eyes and glanced at Feng Mo lightly.

Seeing this, Xi Yan, who was fiddling with charcoal fire on the side, immediately scolded: "Bastard thing! Childe's affairs are also something you can interject about. Hurry down, don't be an eyesore in front of Childe. ”

"Oh." Feng Mo lowered his head when he was scolded, and muttered in a low voice, "I just think that the young lady is pitiful." ”

"You still say!" Xi Yan glared at Feng Mo angrily, he couldn't wait to sew a needle in the mouth of his stupid brother. Is it the matter between the masters that they should discuss?!

When Feng Mo turned around to retreat, he heard Zhang Yuanxiu say abruptly: "Go on." ”

Xi Yan was stunned, opened his mouth and wanted to speak, but seeing that Zhang Yuanxiu's face was calm and there was no precursor to anger, he shut up and glanced at Feng Mo.

"Childe, you and the young lady should have been the newlywed Yan'er now, but since General Qi set out on the expedition, you have been staying in the study every day, if this is known by others, maybe what will happen!

And a few days ago, when I went to the inner courtyard to deliver a message, the young lady looked very disappointed when she heard that you were staying in the study. Today, the young lady left behind the woman's reserve and took the initiative to ask you, if you don't go back tonight, will you be a little too late! ”

Feng Mo has been holding these words in his heart for a long time, and since Zhang Yuanxiu asked him to say them today, he said them all in one go.

But after he finished speaking, there was a pin drop in the room.

Zhang Yuanxiu sat on the table with a deep face, his face was bathed in the warm candle flame, but his expression could not distinguish joy and anger.

Bong Mo timidly went to see his brother again. Seeing that Zhang Yuanxiu's expression was difficult to distinguish between joy and anger, he thought, no matter what Zhang Yuanxiu thought at the moment, it was always right to ask for the guilt first.

Xi Yan secretly gave Feng Mo a look, and after Feng Mo saw it, he was about to open his mouth to ask for guilt, but Zhang Yuanxiu put down the book and stood up.

"Childe, I'm ......" Feng Mo just spoke, but saw Zhang Yuanxiu bypassing him and walking straight out.

Feng Mo was stunned, but he still couldn't stand his stupid appearance, so he stepped forward and pushed him, and said in a low voice: "What are you doing standing stupidly?" Don't hurry up and go to the lamp for the son. ”

Feng Mo woke up like a dream and hurriedly followed.

At this time, the inner courtyard was brightly lit, and the maids set up the meals, and Qi Mingle, who was sitting at the table, had just raised his chopsticks when he heard the surprised voice of the maids outside: "The son is back." ”

Qi Mingle heard the sound and had to put down the chopsticks.

Soon, the curtain was lifted from the outside, and Zhang Yuanxiu, who was dressed in night frost, walked in. When he saw the delicacies on the table, his expression paused. Qi Mingle walked over with a bit of undisguised surprise in his expression: "You finished your official business so quickly tonight?" ”

Zhang Yuanxiu, who had just taken off his night frost coat: "......"

"A few days ago, every time Feng Mo came over, he said that Gongzi was sitting at the desk in the study until late at night, and the young lady was very worried about your body. Seeing you come here tonight, the young lady is too happy. Cai He hurriedly stepped forward to make up for Qi Mingle.

Qi Mingle also reacted that there was ambiguity in what he said just now, and when he continued Caihe's words, he said: "That's what I meant." ”

Now that Zhang Yuanxiu is here, he can't leave just because of a word, he bowed his head lightly: "Well, today is not as busy as a few days ago." ”

Since getting married, Qi Mingle and Zhang Yuanxiu have spent very little time together, and now that this point has come, the maids know that Zhang Yuanxiu is probably going to stay here tonight, and even if he is happy, he is busy.

When Zhang Yuanxiu came over again, he saw that there was an extra pair of dishes and chopsticks on the table, and Qi Mingle was sitting waiting for him, but his eyes fell on the dishes.

"I don't eat for lunch, you can use it." Zhang Yuan repaired his sleeves and sat down on the side.

Zhang Yuanxiu came back for this delay, Qi Mingle was already hungry with his chest sticking to his back, and now that she heard Zhang Yuanxiu say this, she didn't be polite to Zhang Yuanxiu, so she took chopsticks and feasted.

And Zhang Yuanxiu and Qi Mingle are in stark contrast.

Out of nowhere, he found a book, sat down at the table, and read it. In between meals, when Qi Mingle raised his eyes and saw Zhang Yuanxiu, a sentence popped up in his mind that was out of place, but very suitable for this time-

Look at the beauty under the lamp, the more you look at it, the more beautiful it becomes.

Qi Mingle accidentally smashed his mouth, and saw Zhang Yuanxiu look over.

"What, you really don't eat it!" Qi Mingle raised the pig's trotters in his hand and warmly invited Zhang Yuanxiu.

Zhang Yuanxiu refused: "No, you can eat." ”

"Eat less? This pig's trotters are really delicious. ”

Zhang Yuanxiu firmly refused, he ate with a deceptive taste, and never ate these heavy oil and meat things.

"Okay." Qi Mingle had to enjoy the whole table of delicacies by himself. And Zhang Yuanxiu was originally reading a book, but his book didn't turn the pages for half a day-

Because Qi Mingle ate chicken feet after eating his elbows, he began to eat bad goose feet again after eating chicken feet.

Zhang Yuanxiu: "!! ”

After hesitating, Zhang Yuanxiu still reminded gently: "It's easy to accumulate food when you eat these at night." ”

"No, I have a good spleen." The women in Beijing are thin and beautiful, and they are particularly strict in eating. But Qi Mingle doesn't care about that, she has always been chic.

Zhang Yuanxiu didn't say anything more when he heard her say this. The lights in the room were beeping, and the two of them were reading a book and eating, and the two of them did not disturb each other, but there was an inexplicable strange harmony.

When Qi Mingle touched the wine jug for the fourth time, the wine jug was first pressed by a big palm with slender bones.

"Huh?" Qi Mingle looked at Zhang Yuanxiu blankly.

Zhang Yuanxiu moved the wine jug to his side: "It's good to drink to your heart's content, it's too late." "Zhang Yuanxiu has seen Qi Mingle's drunken appearance, so he has to take precautions.

Okay, Qi Mingle didn't force it anymore.

After eating, taking advantage of Zhang Yuanxiu's bath, Qi Mingle went out for a stroll to eliminate food. When she returned, she was pushed into the clean room by Caihe.

Today's bathing is particularly cumbersome, Cai He didn't know what to add to the water, and Qi Mingle smelled the fragrance that seemed to be absent when he bathed. After bathing, Caihe put balm on her again.

Qi Mingle raised his sleeves, put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed, frowned and said, "Cai He, I'm going to sleep, not to let the bees collect honey!" You're too fragrant, aren't you? ”

"It's not fragrant, and if you wait a little longer, the aroma will slowly fade."

"Really?" Qi Mingle was a little skeptical.

"Really, you believe in slaves." After speaking, Caihe dipped his fingertips in some balm, and smeared some on Qi Mingle's ears and collarbones.

Qi Mingle and Yinsui are both big-hearted, Zhang Yuanxiu said that he was busy with official business, so they didn't suspect anything, but Caihe vaguely sensed that something was wrong. But the affairs of the masters are not something that she can discuss alone. Since Su Qinlan sent her to serve Qi Mingle, all she could do was to do her best to match the two masters.

After cleaning up, Caihe and other maids went out with Qi Mingle in their arms.

Zhang Yunxiu was still sitting under the candle and reading, and Cai He saluted and said: "The hour is not early, if the son and the young lady have no other instructions, the slaves and maids will retreat first." ”

"Well, go ahead." Zhang Yuanxiu responded, and after hearing the sound of Cai He and the others leaving, he said to Qi Mingle, "You go to sleep first, I'll turn off the lights." ”

Qi Mingle answered, and went to bed and lay down in the innermost.

The lights in the room slowly dimmed, and only the one in the outer room remained. In the hazy crimson, Qi Mingle saw Zhang Yuanxiu walking towards this side.

The moment the curtain fell, Qi Mingle inexplicably began to get nervous.
