"Woo~~"
"What's wrong??" When the sky was still white, Xiangling and Cailuan reluctantly opened their eyes.
"We have a morning court today." Jia Qi moved his body, reached out and patted the two girls beside him, with a little help.
Last night, Cai Luan, the housekeeper, told the maid not to forget to call for help. Today, it was a good day, but she couldn't get up.
After hearing Jia Qi's words, the two girls, one large and one young, seemed to remember something and suddenly woke up.
Jia Qi had been out in the past, and had not gone to court for three months. He had lost the habit of going back and forth. Today was the first time since Jia Qi returned to Beijing. Although he had arranged for someone, his body was honest.
On the other side, Qingwen, who was already dressed, had a pout on her face.
"I said it yesterday, but I forgot about it today. If I hadn't arranged for someone, the Marquis would have been delayed in going to court. I see you still want to sleep in the Marquis' bed in the future!" He was not polite in his lecture. Besides, he was even more jealous.
Cai Luan and Xiang Ling knew that this incident was their fault, so they did not refute. They quickly put on their gauze clothes and began to help Jia Qi wash up.
"After the court is over, why don't you go to the Rongguo Duke's Mansion? Yesterday I posted a post saying that if you have some free time, you can go and have a look. The garden where the queen came to visit her relatives has now been built. Let me see if you have any other suggestions. .”
"The Lin Mansion also posted a post about the things you brought back. As soon as the imperial court knows about those things, they still need your advice on how to plant them!"... while cleaning up for Jia Qi. After putting on her clothes and fastening her belt, Cai Luan quickly recalled the trivial matters of yesterday and explained them to Jia Qi.
The post was delivered at night, and it was already quite late at the time. Jia Qi said he would remind him the next day.
"Over there at the Lin Mansion..." Jia Qi felt a little strange at the mention of the Lin Mansion, and his tone became hesitant.
Seeing Jia Qi like this, Cai Luan stood up on tiptoes and said in his ear: "I don't know what happened to Miss Lin. She has changed a lot. When she left our house, she was still looking for life and death. Later she came to Jia Qi. After leaving the house, I didn't see her having much involvement with Second Master Bao. Listening to the secret reports over there, she was often in a daze on weekdays. She looked through the book of words you left for Xichun before, but she didn't seem to put it down. If you... ....." Jia Qi turned his head and met Cai Luan's dark eyes, which were very dull, reflecting his own appearance, but also hiding all kinds of tenderness.
"Why do you think so?"
"Don't have any regrets. Isn't this what you taught me?"
"Let's put this matter aside for now! Xiangling knows how to grow corn and sweet potatoes and how to eat them. You and Xiangling will go to the Lin Mansion later! Drop by to see how she is doing~~" Cai Luan clicked He nodded, saying that for this reason, it was Jia Qi's business to decide.
"As for the Rongguo Duke's Mansion, I really need to go there. I heard that Jia Baoyu changed his ways and took the imperial examination?"
"Well, that's the case. If I didn't know his original temperament, I would have thought he was a different person. He has changed a lot. Now the people in the Jia family have high expectations for him."
"Uncle, why do I feel that Second Master Bao hasn't changed? He's still like that, always fooling around when he sees a pretty girl!" Qingwen, who had just brought back the basin for washing, heard Cai Luan's words and couldn't help but talk to her.
After hearing her words, Jia Qi looked at Cai Luan again. Cai Luan's mouth twitched,
"I'm talking about official career. Besides, I don't think there's anything wrong with liking pretty girls. If you don't like pretty girls, how can you like ugly ones? Then wouldn't all the girls in our house jump into the river!" Cai Luan said. After a while, Qingwen stuck out her tongue, and it seemed that Cai Luan was right. The girls in the Hou Mansion were all the same. If the Marquis didn't like the pretty ones, they wouldn't want to cry.
"Well, I still like pretty ones!" Qing Wen raised her hands in agreement consciously. Xiang Ling on the side suddenly became a little unconfident when she heard what the other party said. She knew that the girls in the house are all beautiful. , but she felt like she was ordinary.
She is not as magical as Miaoyu, not as naturally charming as Qin Keqing, and not as capable as Cai Luan to help Jia Yu take care of the huge mansion. After all, it seems useless at all, and she is not very good-looking.
Suddenly she felt that her life was a little dark. Seeing the wandering little girl beside him, Jia Qi smiled and shook his head.
He reached out and touched her little head, then strode away. After sending Jia Qi away, Cai Luan saw that Xiang Ling's mood suddenly became depressed, and she was a little curious about what happened to this little girl.
"What's wrong with you girl?"
"Sister Cai Luan, I like beautiful girls. I'm so ugly. Does it mean that I don't like me anymore?" After hearing the other party's words, Cai Luan twitched the corner of her mouth twice. Is there something wrong with this little girl about beauty and ugliness? cognition?
? If we say she is average-looking, then there is no one in the entire Hou family who is beautiful, especially the natural rouge mole between her eyebrows, which adds to her agility.
"You damn girl, you are in a bad mood sincerely. If you are not pretty, then no one in the Hou Mansion will be handsome! Put your heart back in your stomach. Ask Qingwen to see if she has the nerve to say she is prettier than you. No!" Xiangling blinked, as if she still didn't believe it, and looked at Qingwen aside.
Qingwen's face also became unnatural, and she really wanted to tell her that if she wasn't beautiful, she wouldn't even be able to get through the door of the Marquis' Mansion. This was an experience she only had after staying in the Marquis' Mansion for a while.
"Hypocritical!" Qingwen held it in for a long time, searching for a word that could describe her mood.
"Qingwen, you should say that you are shameless. There is a little beauty who said that she is not beautiful!" Xiangling's face turned red when she heard Cai Luan's words, and then she hugged her, not daring to look up again.
Seeing this scene, Cai Luan felt very emotional for a moment, what a silly girl! There is no calculation at all, but she is also surprisingly lovable. This is probably why Jia Qi treats her so special.
"Okay, I won't laugh at you anymore. Let's pack up and go to the Lin Mansion." Cai Luan patted Xiang Ling on the shoulder and got down to business.
Xiang Ling also nodded.
"By the way, I haven't asked what those two things are called yet!" Xiang Ling blurted out without hesitation.
"The uncle said that corn and sweet potatoes can feed many people!"... Outside the Daming Palace, Jia Qi had just dismounted his horse when he saw a man walking towards him. He was neither too old nor too young. Look. The court clothes on the other party seemed to be of high quality. Seeing that the other party seemed to be coming towards him, Jia Qi stopped.
"Who are you?"......
