That Cha'er is indeed a hard-working girl, she is not clever, she is really working. Every detail in the courtyard was cleaned, even finer than Liu'er, and for the copper coins that were quietly dropped by Qingyi, Cha'er also picked them up one by one and placed them neatly on the desk designed by Qingyi.

No one would think that the very few copper coins in those places were deliberately discarded by the master, not to mention, the quantity is very small, and the tea can be picked up without keeping it for herself, which shows that she is not greedy.

Seeing such a move, Qingyi rewarded her with a glass bracelet on the grounds of rewarding her for her outstanding performance, but the girl was not as happy as some maids, and she was not pretending to be calm, but full of surprise written on her face. Qingyi knew that this maid was an honest person, so Qingyi's favorability and satisfaction with Cha'er increased to 60%.

Then, Qingyi asked Cha'er to give the eldest lady or something, send some pine nuts, fruits and the like, those small ones eat, one or two less is not to see the difference, Qingyi let Liu Er quietly follow behind, and found that Cha'er's maid didn't even touch it, although when encountering some rarer fruits, she would show a little heartbeat in her eyes, but she suppressed the final boycott**, which fully shows that Cha'er is an absolutely loyal girl.

At this point, Qingyi's satisfaction with the tea has reached 80 percent, and as for the last 20 percent, it is naturally about whether the tea can really be used for himself.

Such an honest and reliable girl, not necessarily only she Qingyi can see it, maybe the young grandmother or the eldest son has already taken the tea for her own use, so in the end, what she has to do is to see if the tea has an innocent background.

Of course, to find out the last point, you can only work hard for Liu'er's girl.

Qingyi gave Liu Er a month, asking her to pay attention to who Cha'er usually came into contact with, whether she would secretly meet someone when no one was around, late at night, etc., or she would do something like passing on a code.

After a month, Liu'er's "lurking" turned out to be nothing.

At this point, Qingyi was relieved, no matter what, the eldest lady's change of maid was regarded as a blind cat meeting a dead mouse and doing a good thing.

Then, Qingyi smiled and gave Liu Er a new task: to train Cha'er to be their new companion, and to guide Cha'er intentionally or unintentionally, to let her know who she should be most loyal to in this mansion.

It is said that during the period of more than a month, in addition to the observation of the tying of tea, Qingyi also found new inspiration in design, that is, for the upcoming Mid-Autumn Festival, Qingyi designed the reunion fish series, from the peacock screen and main hall furnishings of the large ornaments, to the reunion fish bracelet and hairpin of the small ornaments. In the previous life, she had also seen young couples wearing the bracelet of the reunion kissfish, but she never thought of introducing it into her own design, and now she found that her thinking was much broader, and now this body does match her thinking quite perfectly.

At the same time, the third batch of finished products of "Chen Liufu" was officially put on the shelves, and the debut of "Wind and Water" became a new signboard.

And the good news is that the decoration of "Wind and Water" was only one day away, and it was bought by Prince Li at a high price, and it was dedicated to the emperor. Soon, the name of "Chen Liufu" spread throughout the city.

The fame of "Chen Liufu" has started, and it is natural to attract jealousy, and the most obvious performance is naturally the only son who manages the business in Qi Mansion today - Qi Liancheng.

Qingyi later heard Steward Lin say that if it weren't for Master Qi's explanation, he would have invested part of the "Chen Liufu" in it, and it was estimated that Qi Liancheng would have rushed into the "Chen Liufu" to find trouble.

This matter did not end because of this, one day, Master Qi suddenly summoned the members of the whole house to hold a family banquet in the evening, saying that there was a major announcement.

At the dinner table, everyone was eating dinner solemnly, and Master Qi seemed to have unintentionally said the purpose of tonight's family banquet, "Each of our descendants of Qi Mansion should remember such a history, four generations ago, our ancestors used their own wealth to recruit righteous people to assist the first emperor and ancestor to ascend the throne, and the first emperor and ancestor succeeded to the throne, that is, the last day of this month, of course, this is not only a big day for the royal family, but also a big day for our Qi Mansion, because this day is also the day when the first emperor and ancestor gave me the Qi family never to add sin." ——The emperor's grace is vast, and the emperor is still grateful for the merits of my Qi ancestors, so I heard the palace Li Gonggong say that the emperor will give me an auspicious decoration for the Qi family tomorrow morning, one to show that I will not forget the old grace, and the other is also to spur my house to carry forward the characteristic business. ……”

"Poof-ahem......"

Qingyi, who was originally drinking soup, heard this, and almost squirted out the soup he had just drunk in his mouth.

Seeing this, she hurriedly lowered her head, pretending to be unintentional, but she didn't want to make several pairs of eyes at the dinner table look at her because of her action.

Qi Lianchen, who was sitting on her right hand, was naturally the first to react, picked up the men's square handkerchief he used, and in front of everyone, he actually pinched Qingyi's chin with one hand, and wiped the corners of her mouth with a square handkerchief with the other hand, not only that, but he also said in a gentle voice, "Why are you so careless, drink slowly, no one will rob you." ”

Qingyi's face became redder and redder, and he couldn't wait to find a hole to drill into, but his chin was pinched tightly by him, and he couldn't dodge.

After wiping it, Qi Lianchen lifted her little face with the hand that pinched her chin, looked at it carefully, and then said thoughtfully, "Well, there is still some dried soup at the corner of the mouth, although it is not obvious, but it ...... For the sake of the husband, let's lick it clean with your mouth. ”

"Ahem, cough, cough ......" This time, Qingyi was almost choked by her own saliva, and no matter what others didn't look at, she forcefully took the big hand on her chin away, lowered her head, and raised her face again.

This man with convulsions, Master Qi was saying such serious things, he actually ......

Regarding Qi Lianchen's sudden ambiguity in public, she didn't think that he was from the heart.

Since the two kissed in public in "Chen Liufu" more than a month ago, this man has become "busy", going out early and returning late for more than a month, she has not seen him for more than a month, if it weren't for tonight Master Qi had such a formal family banquet, it is estimated that she would not know when she would be able to see him, and as soon as he appeared, he made such a play, and I don't know who he is playing this "deep love between husband and wife" play!

Big lady? Master Qi? Or the second young grandmother?

Qingyi, who lowered his head, naturally didn't see it, and Qi Lianchen's eyes seemed to draw closer to the faces of the eldest prince and the fourth prince......

The eldest lady is naturally happy to see such a scene, which shows that she is close to the day when she holds her grandson.

And the second young grandmother ......

When Qin Yayun saw this scene, she seemed to lower her head inadvertently, but the spoon was put in her mouth and bit tightly, and she also coughed lightly twice, but, in comparison, her coughing sound had no meaning, Qi Liancheng, who was sitting on her right, was eating by himself, while Qi Lianchen, who was sitting on her left, was still staring at Qingyi with a red face with interest.

Besides, the fourth son, who was sitting on Qingyi's left side and separated from her by a sixth lady, didn't eat at this time, and looked at the third son between the two, "Third brother, even Tang's mouth is dirty." ”

Qi Lianchen glanced at him and said with a smile, "Oh, let your sister-in-law on your left help you wipe it." The third brother is far away from you. ”

The eldest young grandmother was originally envious of Qingyi's good fortune, but when she saw that the topic was suddenly pulled to her head, she quickly took off her silk handkerchief from the placket, and said with a smile, "Fourth brother, come, let the sister-in-law help you." ”

I don't want to, Qi Liantang didn't look at her, but his eyes were still circling between Qingyi and Qi Lianchen, "Third brother doesn't hurt Liantang......"

The young grandmother was put aside, very embarrassed.

And the eldest son, who was sitting on her left, snorted almost inaudibly, but his eyes were also staring at Qingyi's crimson little face, and he wondered in his heart: Why was she so excited when she mentioned the "wind and water"?

At the moment when the scene was a little out of control, it was still Master Qi who came out of town, he looked at his third son with a cold face, but with a little helplessness, "Everyone in Ming'er's mansion must dress up to meet the holy decree of reward, and no one is allowed to be absent from me." ”

To put it bluntly, this sentence means: Before Ming'er receives the order, Qi Lianchen don't want to leave the house!

But Qi Lianchen didn't pay attention to his father at all, but just teased Qingyi again, "You are so stuffy, can you see the vegetables clearly?" Come, my husband will give you a few of your favorite foods. ”

So, after this time, the people at the table almost saw Qi Lianchen playing treasure alone, putting all the chicken legs, abalone, and those precious ones into Qingyi's bowl, and after a while, the small bowl was piled high, like raising a pregnant woman.

Qingyi wants to cry without tears, sitting next to such a man who can convulsions and does not play cards according to common sense, there is really only one word,—— forbearance.

Later, Qingyi no longer remembered how she stayed up until the end of the family banquet, but she only knew that as soon as the family banquet was dispersed, the man next to her took her hand and took her away.

Qi Lianchen dismissed Liu Er, who was waiting with him, just shook hands with Qingyi and walked around the mansion as if they were dating.

Qingyi couldn't figure out what he was doing with such "Yaxing", could it be that now he finally began to face up to the fact that he had her as a wife? And want to justify her?

Actually, Qingyi is not too disgusted, when there is no man she particularly likes in her heart, this guy who gets along with her the most and sleeps with her for the longest time has made her unconsciously have a little habit in her heart, this kind of feeling, suspected of being a relative, but not like love.

Several times, Qingyi tried to pull his hand out of his big palm, but the man clenched it tightly and teased her palm with his index finger as if he were nothing.

This kind of action is very ambiguous, Qingyi, who is used to peaceful coexistence, can't help but look at the man next to him with a little disapproval.

Qi Lianchen was looking up to admire the moon at this time, and the night breeze was blowing, blowing Qingyi with the illusion that the two were pseudo-couples.

The two are walking on the open-air promenade in the lotus pond, and the moonlight on the lotus pond is quite meaningful.

Sensing that Qingyi was looking at him, Qi Lianchen didn't look back, and said jokingly, "What, are you confused by your husband's beauty?" ”

When Qingyi heard this, she almost threw herself on the ground, she had seen narcissism, but she had never seen anyone more narcissistic than the one next to her.

Looking away, Qingyi recognized it again, and his little hands were wrapped in his slightly sweaty palms.

Suddenly, Qi Lianchen stopped, leaned lazily on a railing in the corridor, and then let go of Qingyi's hand, stretching indecently, "I'm so tired." ”

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Qingyi hurriedly withdrew two steps away, kept a certain distance from him, and casually asked, "Tired?" ”

Qi Lianchen smiled and bent his eyebrows, "Xiao Xu, you finally know how to care about your husband." ”

Qingyi quietly collapsed her little face, and regularly used money to support his "prostitution and gambling" career, does she still "care" about him?

Seeing that she didn't say anything, he didn't care, leaned on the stone pillar railing, and his eyes fell on her little face like water, and his voice sank, "Why did you run so far, come here." ”

Glancing at the distance of less than two meters from each other, Qingyi decided to ignore it.

Qi Lianchen made persistent efforts, "The night is cool, Xiao Xu, your body is good, but you can't be infected with the wind cold, come to warm you in your husband's arms." ”

The more they talked, the more outrageous it became, and the relationship between the two was rendered a mess by Qi Lianchen.

"The moonlight here is good for my husband, wouldn't it be a pleasure for you and me to hug and admire the moon?" In the end, there is a hint of singing.

Qingyi collapsed, they didn't seem to know each other so well, what the hell had he been busy with in the past month or so, and he had become so convulsive.

Seeing that Qingyi didn't move, Qi Lianchen sighed lightly, then leaned forward, and before she could react, he reached out and grabbed her wrist, pulled her into his arms, and the other arm was tightly clasped behind her waist.

"Hey!"

Qingyi propped her hands on his chest, powerless to protest.

Qi Lianchen smiled, ignoring her protest, "What's the matter, is the husband's body warm?" ”

“…… Well. ”

Push and can't push away, what else can she say? It's just that it's the height of summer, and even if it's stormy at night, how cold can it be?

Qi Lianchen raised his head and raised his head, "Is the moonlight here more beautiful than elsewhere?" ”

"Hmm." For the weirdness of his thinking, Qingyi is very adaptable, really strong.

Qi Lianchen chuckled lightly twice, less indecent in the past, it sounded a little magnetic, "You and I are husband and wife, is it a beautiful thing in the world to enjoy the moonlight here?" ”

“…… Well. Qingyi lowered her head weakly, well, she admitted that she couldn't refute every word he said.

"Hmm." Qi Lianchen groaned, "The beautiful scenery is current, and the husband really wants to write a poem."
