Traveling through books to ancient times, I provoke the love of villains and powerful ministers

The last house that Qi Qingxi took a fancy to was Chongbeifang located near Chongwenmen in the outer city.

The three-entry house has an east-span courtyard, and every plant, tree, fence, and pole inside can be seen the traces of the owner's meticulous care.

"The owner of this house originally came to the capital from other places to do business. A few days ago, the parents of the family sent a letter, saying that they wanted them to go back to pay for their retirement, so the husband and wife are going to sell the house and go back to their hometown."

Qi Qingxi walked around inside again, the house looked pretty good, and it was big enough for the brothers and sisters of the Qi family to live in, so she bought the house without hesitation.

She didn't buy this house because she had some trouble with the Li family and wanted to move out of the Li family.

The main purpose is also to listen to what Huang Momo said before, thinking that in the near future, Qi Yunming will also start a family like Gu Yu, move out of Li's mansion, and set up the family of Qi's family, so she has to take advantage of it now. If there is still money in it, hurry up to buy real estate and fields.

If Qi Yunming and his brothers are no longer satisfied with this house, they can only rely on their own ability to replace it with a bigger and better one.

However, Qi Qingxi does not plan to tell her brothers and sisters about the house for the time being, lest her uncle Li Wenkang find out and have to explain more.

After settling the matter of the house and land property, Qi Qingxi felt a slight slack in his shoulders.

But in the future, Luchang, there are still many things waiting for her to do, and she can't relax just yet.

Time flies by like a white horse, and soon it will be July of the 22nd year of Qianning.

It is said that July is hot, but this July is still unbearably hot. In addition, Li's mansion is repairing the courtyard for the two young masters who are about to get married, and the sound of "bang bang" is also heard from the neighboring house all day long, making it extremely noisy.

Guo simply took a few girls in his family to escape the summer heat in a village outside the city.

This Zhuangzi is the dowry of the Guo family. Behind Zhuangzi is a mountain forest. There is a small stream under the mountain forest. It is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and its geographical location is excellent.

Especially when the weather is hottest in the summer afternoon, everyone will move the tables and chairs to the shaded place by the stream to enjoy the cool and rest.

By the way, put the melon and fruit tea in the stream and soak for half an hour. It tastes ice-cold and refreshing, and the heat dissipates.

Mrs. Guo hadn't enjoyed Zhuangzi for two days before going back to the city.

There are a lot of things at home waiting for her to go back to deal with, especially the wedding date of her two sons has been set in early October, and there are still many things to prepare, so she cannot stay for a few more days to rest.

But Li Nianyue and Qi Nuan were having a great time, and they didn't want to go back home with them. Fortunately, Qi Qingxi was there, so Mrs. Guo felt relieved to leave the two children to her to take care of her and go back home alone.

Although it is comfortable in the daytime, at night when you are stuffed in the house, you will still feel hot.

There are no air-conditioning fans in this era, and the only way to relieve heat and cool down is to put some ice cubes in the room to slightly lower the temperature in the room, but ice cubes can only relieve the heat for a while.

Qi Qingxi is also a person who is greedy for cold and afraid of heat, so he usually only wears a bellyband and shorts when he sleeps at night.

In fact, if possible, she would like to wear it like this during the day.

It's just that the etiquette of this era does not allow girls to show off in clothes that show their arms and legs, and she can only wear it in her room.

That night, Qi Qingxi fell into a drowsy sleep, when she suddenly heard a knock on the door, she resisted her drowsiness and got up to open the door.

But he didn't want to open the door, and what greeted his eyes was an extremely familiar face.

Gu Yu stood in front of the door, staring intently at the girl in front of her with deep eyes, with a calm smile on her surface, but her heart was already extremely excited.

"Gu Yu!" Qi Qingxi called out in surprise, and threw herself into his arms like a gust of wind, "When did you come back?"

"I just came back today, and I haven't had time to go back to the city. A few days ago, I received your letter saying that you are here to escape the summer heat, so I came directly to have a look."

Gu Yu also stretched out her hand to hug Qi Qingxi back, but what she touched was a piece of warm and soft skin, which was slightly cool.

Only then did he notice the clothes of the person in his arms, and quickly withdrew his hands as if being burnt.

Gu Yu reached out and gently pushed Qi Qingxi out of her arms, without looking at her.

Qi Qingxi felt that Gu Yu was a little strange, and pushed her away without looking at her—what does it mean?

Then she heard Gu Yu speak: "Is there a cellar in Zhuangzi? I'll ask someone to bring more ice cubes tomorrow. Put more ice cubes in the room before going to bed at night so it won't be so hot."

Gu Yu coughed lightly: "It's better to wear more clothes, even in the scorching heat, you will catch cold."

Only then did Qi Qingxi realize that Gu Yu had such a reaction because of her clothes.

Gu Yu really lived up to his name, a modest gentleman, as gentle as jade.

Qi Qingxi tilted her head and looked at Gu Yu, with a hint of slyness in her eyes. While picking up the long coat on the wooden tree and putting it on her body, she deliberately teased him: "But I only feel hot, not cold. What if I get heat stroke? what to do?"

Gu Yu looked at Qi Qingxi in a daze, her smile was beautiful, like a flower blooming in midsummer, he felt his breathing was a little short.

"What should we do? Master Gu." Qi Qingxi asked.

Gu Yu recovered after hearing her words, touched her nose in embarrassment, coughed lightly, trying to hide her embarrassment at this time.

He walked to the door in two or three steps, walked in with a basket in his hand, and handed the basket to Qi Qingxi.

Qi Qingxi couldn't help but think of Gu Yu in the early morning of the first day of the new year, and Gu Yu also gave her a New Year's gift...

Then he left the capital the next day, and didn't see him again until today after more than half a year.

Qi Qingxi took two steps back cautiously: "This time, it won't be the same as last time, and then you will go out for more than half a year before returning? Then you should take this thing back."

Gu Yu laughed, walked forward and took Qi Qingxi's hand, sat down at the table and said with a soft smile: "I will not leave the capital again until we finish my errands this time."

Qi Qingxi was still dissatisfied, and blurted out: "What about after getting married? You just have the heart to let me guard the sky alone..."

Gu Yu couldn't help curling the corners of her mouth, with a smile in her eyes: "What are you doing alone?"

Qi Qingxi blushed slightly, turned her head away: "It's nothing."

"By the way, have you found out about the military pay case?" Qi Qingxi changed the subject.

Gu Yu nodded and said "Yes": "The detailed memorial of the case should have been submitted to the emperor at this moment, and I believe that uncle will be cleared soon."

"Have you found out who is really behind the scenes?"
