You time in the afternoon.

Gu Jingxi came back from the break and was greeted by the little girl to sit down as soon as he entered the room.

The little girl was surprisingly enthusiastic today. She even poured him a cup of tea and pushed the dessert plate in front of her to him.

As the saying goes, showing courtesy for nothing is either cheating or stealing.

Gu Jingxi was convinced. He pursed his lips and smiled. He took a sip of tea from the tea cup. The tea had a fresh aroma and a mellow taste. The taste was very familiar, as if the little girl had made the tea herself.

He leisurely drank a cup of tea, then put down the cup and asked, "Madam, do you have something to tell me?"

Meng Jinyao nodded with a smile: "I have something to tell my husband."

Gu Jingxi's smile deepened after hearing this. It seemed that his guess was right, and he said warmly: "It doesn't matter if you say it, madam."

Meng Jinyao replied: "It's like this. It will be Mrs. Song's birthday in the wine house in a while. I chose a jade ornament in the warehouse to celebrate the birthday of a boy as a birthday gift."

Gu Jingxi was stunned, then smiled and said: "As I said before, Madam can use whatever is in the warehouse as she pleases. You don't need to tell me about such trivial matters. You can just make up your own mind." He paused and then said, "But , some of the calligraphy and paintings in the warehouse are specially collected by me. If Madam wants to give them away, you should ask me first. If you don’t collect them specially, you can give them away. I will decide according to the situation if you don’t collect them specially.”

"I understand."

Meng Jinyao nodded repeatedly. She had also seen those calligraphy and paintings. Many of them were by famous masters. They were priceless and well-preserved. It could be seen that Gu Jingxi cherished these things very much. She did not dare to touch these things easily.

After a moment, she said again: "By the way, husband, there is one more thing."

Gu Jingxi said: "Madam, please tell me."

Meng Jinyao stood up, went to take out the set of mutton-fat white jade noodle dishes that she had found in the warehouse earlier, and said warmly: "I found a set of mutton-fat white jade noodle dishes in the warehouse today, but it was not recorded in the book."

Gu Jingxi glanced at the box made of mahogany and was not impressed.

"It's a set of plum blossom styles, made of mutton-fat white jade. I think the style is very beautiful, elegant and unique." Meng Jinyao said, opening the wooden box, revealing the set of white jade heads and faces, with a bit of joy in her eyes, " Husband, can I use this mask?"

Hearing this, Gu Jingxi's eyes fell on that set of hair and face. His eyes stayed for a few breaths and then moved away. He asked in a warm voice: "Madam, you like the plum blossom style, the head and face made of mutton-fat jade?"

Meng Jinyao shook her head gently: "It's not that I just like the headdress made of plum blossom-style mutton-fat jade. I just think this set of headdresses is very beautiful. It's a pity to leave it gathering dust in the warehouse. What do you think, husband?"

Gu Jingxi said indifferently: "It's just a set of jade heads and faces. What's wrong with it?"

After he finished speaking, he glanced at the turban again, his eyes falling on the bright and charming face in front of him, and continued: "Although this turban is good-looking, it is too plain and elegant. Madam's appearance tends to be bright. It looks good, but not as good as the brightly colored one, why not choose something else?”

Meng Jinyao was not stupid, and she could tell that Gu Jingxi was rejecting her politely. She had a bright appearance, but she could also dress elegantly. After all, she occasionally dressed up in a gentle and elegant way, but Gu Jingxi didn't want her to wear that kind of hair.

She could use all the treasures in the warehouse as she wished, or give them as gifts, but this one, which had been covered in dust for a long time, was not enough. Her daughter's instinct told her that there must be something fishy in it.

There are some things that you see through but don't reveal, and she is the one who has no face if she reveals them.

Her expression remained unchanged, and she followed Gu Jingxi's words and responded calmly: "From what my husband said, this hair style really doesn't suit me, so I'll choose something else."

Gu Jingxi nodded: "Yeah."

Meng Jinyao didn't dwell on this issue anymore, closed the box, changed the subject to something else, and kept chatting.

-

The next morning.

After Meng Jinyao had breakfast, she went into the inner room and took out the key to the warehouse, and took the mahogany box containing the mutton-fat jade noodle with her.

Seeing this, Qingqiu asked, "Madam, where are you going with this mask?"

Meng Jinyao replied quietly: "Put it back in the warehouse."

Ningdong followed the sound and saw his wife holding the head and mask that she took out from the warehouse yesterday, and said in confusion: "Madam, this set of head and mask is very nice, don't you want to use it? Why do you want to put it back in the warehouse again?"

Qingqiu was also puzzled. Madam clearly liked it yesterday, so why did she suddenly want to put it back?

Seeing the two of them looking at her with confused expressions, Meng Jinyao pursed her lips and smiled, and replied: "Suddenly I feel that this hairstyle is too plain and elegant and doesn't suit me, so I won't use it."

When the two maids heard this, they looked at each other.

Ningdong wondered: "But when I tried it on for you yesterday, it looked pretty good with a light-colored skirt. You also liked it very much."

Qingqiu also nodded in agreement: "Yes, madam, this hairstyle looks quite good. It makes you dignified and gentle. It would be great to wear it to a banquet."

Meng Jinyao put the box down and smiled lightly: "Originally I thought it looked pretty good, but I asked Mr. Hou yesterday afternoon and he said that this set of hair and noodles is not suitable for me and asked me to change to another one. He obviously refused me to use this set of hair and noodles. "

As soon as these words came out, Qingqiu and Ningdong smelled something unusual. Although they didn't have a sweetheart, the girl's family was very sensitive to this kind of thing. There were so many things in the warehouse that the Marquis could let his wife use. Why? Isn’t this set of heads and faces that have been covered in dust for a long time no good?

Moreover, this set of masks is still not recorded in the book, that is the exception, the only exception.

Ningdong glanced at the mahogany box on the table and asked calmly: "Madam, could it be that this set of headscarves was made by the Marquis to give to his sweetheart, but he was never able to send it out, so it was left to collect dust in the warehouse, but there was no On the record?”

Meng Jinyao nodded lightly: "I guess so, I didn't ask yesterday."

Qingqiu and Ningdong were silent. This set of mutton-fat white jade noodle is worth a lot. The jade material is excellent, the workmanship is fine, the style is simple and generous, elegant and graceful. The girl the Marquis wants to give to should be a dignified and gentle girl, and that The girl prefers a simple and elegant style.

The Marquis is a gentle and elegant man, and is a good match for a dignified and graceful girl. As for the fact that this set of hair and noodles has never been given away, it is probably because he has a hidden illness and cannot bring happiness to the girl, so he does not dare to give it away, and would rather leave it behind. The warehouse is covered in dust.

This set of hair and face was placed in the corner gathering dust, and the girl was hidden in the heart of the Marquis, becoming the only white moonlight in his heart.

Then who is their master?

Their master is Mrs. Gu, and she is only Mrs. Gu, nothing more.

Meng Jinyao looked at the two of them looking like the world was falling, and asked with a smile: "Why do they react like this? He is twenty-nine years old. Isn't it normal for him to have a girl he likes? Gu Xiuming is only sixteen years old, but he also loves her so much that he doesn't hesitate to give up. The girl who eloped with her because of her reputation."
