Noon the next day.

Meng Jinyao had lunch and was about to take a nap when Zhou Yun, the chief attendant beside Gu Jingxi, sent a girl over.

The girl was about sixteen or seventeen years old, with an oval face, a gentle and demure temperament, and gentle and clean eyes. She seemed to be the kind of person who kept herself to herself.

Meng Jinyao felt happy when she saw her. This was the girl she wanted to find. If she wanted to enchant people, it was important to have a similar temperament. Then if she put some effort into her makeup and clothes, she would be 70% similar.

When people are confused, 70% of the similarities can be seen as 100%. Especially when they are guilty, the more confused they become.

The girl took two steps forward and saluted her respectfully: "My maid, I have met my lady."

Meng Jinyao nodded gently: "Okay, get up."

Zhou Yundao: "Madam, are you satisfied with it? If you are not satisfied, I will change it for you."

Meng Jinyao looked at Chan'er, the more she looked at her, the more satisfied she became. She showed a satisfied smile and said warmly: "No need, I think Chan'er is fine. I want Chan'er."

Seeing that she was satisfied, Zhou Yun said no more: "As long as Madam is satisfied, I have sent it to you. I have other things to do, so I will leave first. If Madam has anyone else, you can send me over again." .”

Meng Jinyao waved her hand and asked him to step back.

Chan'er stood respectfully and asked softly: "Madam, what should I do?"

Meng Jinyao said: "There is something you need to do." After saying that, she glanced at Chan'er who looked demure and asked, "Chan'er, do you really know martial arts?"

Chan'er was stunned for a moment and then replied: "Madam, to tell you the truth, even soldiers who have been on the battlefield can easily deal with one against ten slaves."

Meng Jinyao was surprised, she didn't expect such a weak-looking girl to be so powerful.

Chan'er stretched out her hands again and said, "Madam, you see, I am really a practicing master."

Meng Jinyao's eyes fell on Chan'er's hands. Those hands had thin calluses, especially the calluses on the right hand. It should be caused by often holding weapons. Such a girl's martial arts is not weak.

Later, Meng Jinyao told Chan'er the details and asked Chan'er to act according to the plan.

It's almost midnight in the afternoon.

Gu Jingxi came back from work. As soon as he entered the house, a chill hit him. He knew that there was an ice mirror in the house, but when he looked around, he saw that there was no one in the house. He was about to find a maid to ask where the lady was. From the corner of his eye, he saw I just saw a girl lying on the soft couch by the window.

Who else could it be if it wasn't his little wife?

Gu Jingxi walked over and saw the little girl hunched over on her side on the soft couch, sleeping soundly. There was no maid watching over her. The little girl didn't even have a thin blanket covering her body, and was only wearing a light silk shirt. It is very cool, but if there is an ice mirror in the house, it is easy for the cold air to invade and catch a cold.

He reached out and touched the back of the little girl's hand. It was cold to the touch, and he frowned slightly. He turned around and went into the inner room to get a thin blanket and cover her with it.

As soon as the thin blanket was put on her body, Meng Jinyao woke up and opened her eyes in confusion. She found someone standing in front of the soft couch. She was startled, and most of her sleepiness suddenly disappeared. Only then could she see clearly. The person standing in front of the soft couch asked blankly: "Husband, why are you here?"

"Where have all the maids who were waiting for you gone? Why is there not a single maid in the house? No one came in to cover you with a blanket when you fell asleep." Gu Jingxi asked with a frown, a reproach in his tone. Of course, it was not a reproach. Meng Jinyao blamed the maid for being incompetent and failing to take good care of her master.

After hearing this, Meng Jinyao said, "Huh?", looked down, and tugged on the thin blanket covering her body: "Isn't this a blanket?" After saying that, she felt something was wrong, "My husband covered me with this," ?Thank you husband, I wanted to stay alone for a while in the afternoon and sent them all out, so no one was in the room. I didn't expect that I fell asleep."

Gu Jingxi said: "A girl's body is no better than a man's, so you should pay more attention to your body. Don't be greedy for cold. You will suffer if the cold air enters your body. If you feel sleepy, go back to bed and be careful not to catch a cold."

Meng Jinyao was stunned for a moment. Thinking of her own body, her eyes darkened. She nodded slightly and said, "Okay, I understand." After that, she changed the subject, "Is your husband free now? Why don't we talk about it? ?”

Gu Jingxi agreed happily: "Okay."

Meng Jinyao went to get the chessboard, and the two of them talked about a game.

About half an hour later, the winner was decided. The result was no surprise. Meng Jinyao lost. She looked at the chessboard and regretted it endlessly.

Gu Jingxi saw her frowning, with a look of remorse on her face, as if she wished she could turn back time. She slightly raised the corners of her lips and said warmly: "Madam, I told you yesterday that caution is a good thing. Being too cautious can lead to bad things. Now we win or lose. It’s useless to regret once we’re divided.”

Meng Jinyao refused to admit defeat: "Husband, let's play another round."

Gu Jingxi responded: "Okay, let's play another game. This time I will give you three sons for my husband."

Hearing this, Meng Jinyao immediately became unhappy and aroused her fighting spirit. She glared at him angrily and said, "Husband, you look down on me? Don't let me. Sooner or later, I will kill you to pieces."

Gu Jingxi couldn't help but laugh. Looking at the lively and agile little girl, he raised the corner of his mouth to smile and said in a teasing tone: "Well, I believe there will be such a day, but before that, Madam still needs to hone her chess skills."

Meng Jinyao: "..."

-

That day, the sun was setting in the west, and the afterglow of the setting sun reflected the red sky. Everything under the sky was dyed orange-red.

Gu Jingxi had just come out of Dali Temple with a food box in hand and was about to go home when he suddenly met Qi Yunwen who was returning from work, so he stepped forward to say hello and exchange a few words.

Qi Yunwen noticed the food box in his hand and asked curiously: "Yao Ling, what are you carrying? There is still a sense of coldness. Even if you get close, you feel the coldness."

Gu Jingxi casually glanced at the food box in his hand and replied: "I will meet the emperor at noon. The lychees the emperor rewarded can be kept fresh with ice."

Hearing this, Qi Yunwen's eyes lit up and he looked straight at the food box in his hand. He was very interested in the lychees inside and asked, "Yao Ling, can you give me this lychee?"

Gu Jingxi was about to hand it to him when he suddenly remembered that there was a little girl at home. The little girl loved to eat delicious food. He could tell that the lychees were sweet and juicy and the little girl would probably like them. He immediately rejected his friend: " Sorry, can't."

Qi Yunwen was stunned. He didn't expect him to refuse. He looked at him with a strange expression and said, "Yao Ling, you are not good at this. Your sister-in-law likes to eat lychees. Yesterday, she was still talking about wanting to eat lychees. This time you will sell them." Can you give me a favor? I'll treat you to a drink some other day. I got two jars of fine wine a few days ago, both of which are thirty years old."

Gu Jingxi replied quietly: "If it had been in the past, I would have given it to you. Now that there is a little girl in the family, it should be a good thing."

Qi Yunwen was stunned, and belatedly remembered that his friend now had a family. If there was anything delicious to eat, he would have to stick to his wife first. He apologized and said with a smile: "Yao Ling, I'm so sorry, it's mine." No, I actually forgot about my younger siblings, these younger siblings must also like to eat lychees."

Gu Jingxi shook his head gently: "It's okay, I'm going back home first."

Qi Yunwen responded: "Hey, Yao Ling walks slowly."
