Bai Zhi wanted Jiang Shuyao to stop being obsessed with "sad things", and pretended to be excited: "Miss, we will be able to go to the princess' mansion for a banquet in a few days, and we can finally go out to breathe."

Jiang Shuyao had a headache when she thought about it. She didn't want to attend any banquet, so it was very troublesome to listen to.

Seeing that she was in a bad mood, Bai Zhi put it another way: "Since she got married, the young lady has not met with the Princess Changle, so she must be looking forward to this banquet."

Jiang Shuyao's forehead twitched, and the princess of Changle was the warrior who led his sisters to molest beautiful men and caused a large number of beautiful men to fall into the water. Just listening to her deeds can imagine her agility, and I don't know if she will find out that her former nympho sister has changed her core.

"Yeah. It's just that I'm married and can't fool around with her anymore."

Bai Zhi thought of Jiang Shuyao's previous actions, and laughed a little embarrassedly, and quickly changed the topic: "Miss, since I have nothing to do now, why not choose clothes and jewelry for the banquet."

Clothes and jewelry...

Jiang Shuyao was helpless when she remembered the plain clothes and elegant jade ornaments in the cabinet. The original owner's aesthetics were too poisonous. She chose a few brightly colored clothes, and she had worn them several times in turn.

"If I'm going to the banquet, I want to cut some new clothes." Anyway, she has money now, so she won't buy it at this time.

Bai Zhi was accustomed to Jiang Shuyao's wealthy and generous style, and nodded without hesitation: "The servant asked the housekeeper to call the best embroiderers in the capital."

Jiang Shuyao added: "And jewelry, I also want to buy some new ones."

Bai Zhi was stunned: "However, there is no rule that jewelry is sent to the house for people to choose..." Clothes only need to bring a few carts of cloth, but jewelry is different. Expensive jewelry will be strictly guarded and preserved, and some extremely valuable jewelry will not even be seen by ordinary people.

Jiang Shuyao didn't want to go out to the banquet and only stay on those simple gold ornaments, not even the more gorgeous earrings.

"If only I could go out for a walk," she muttered, sagging her shoulders.

Bai Zhisheng was afraid that the lady who had been in peace for a while would start trouble again, and persuaded: "Recently, the old lady has been strict, and the copying of the scriptures has made the old lady angry. It is appropriate to act freely."

Girls always like to dress up, and they will make an appointment in a better mood when they are dressed up. Jiang Shuyao couldn't think of any way, so he could only compromise: "Then someone will bring in some brightly colored cloth for me to choose. If possible, go to the Jinlou to buy some jewelry, the styles are not limited, the more complicated and delicate the better. ."

"This..." Bai Zhi had never heard such an order. It cost a lot of money to buy jewelry, and even the most intimate maid would not dare to take this job.

"Forget it." Jiang Shuyao is no longer embarrassed. Although her mother's family is a wealthy businessman, she has no clothes, food, housing and transportation. She can't even make money from her own property.

She said depressedly: "I haven't been out of the house since I got married, and I don't know what the outside market is like now." To be precise, she had never seen an ancient market after crossing over, and Jiang Shuyao was so curious. Uncomfortable, I can't wait to grow wings and fly outside to see and see.

Seeing that she was about to move, Bai Zhi sounded an alarm bell in her heart, and she suddenly appeared: "Why don't you let the uncle take the young lady out?"

"Huh?" What kind of coquettish operation is this, Jiang Shuyao whispered, "You can tell me in detail."

"Uncle will rest in a few days. It's not too much to ask him to accompany the wife Mingmi is marrying. If the uncle takes the young lady out, the old lady can't say anything."

Jiang Shuyao's eyes lit up, but he didn't understand: "How could he be willing?" Just his usual look of disgust.

Bai Zhi is worthy of being a maid who grew up in the shadow of swords and swords in the house. She is very active in making suggestions. She whispered: "Since the aunt wants to stay away from the young lady, then the young lady will pester him. It is a threat and a favor. My mother I said that men are most afraid of women being entangled, especially beautiful women, and the steelmaking must also be turned into softness." Bai Zhi's mother is the powerful maid next to Mrs. Xiangyang.

Jiang Shuyao thought about it carefully, and this was a good idea. Xie Xun hated her, so she would go to his eyes and disgust him. The disgust was in place. In order to make Jiang Shuyao go away, he always promised her a small request.

As for Bai Zhi's beauty plan, Jiang Shuyao automatically ignored it.

A person like Xie Xun, who is elegant and upright, looks like an orphan who is not close to women, and will never have the slightest affection for a woman like her who behaves irregularly and has no ink in her stomach.

On the branches of the moon, the bright moonlight poured down and spilled into the study from the half-closed carved window. Occasionally a night wind blows, bringing a refreshing coolness.

Xie Xun lit the lamp to read as usual, but after reading it, he forgot the time. He reached for the teapot, only to find that the teapot was empty.

He was about to call someone when suddenly there was a cry from outside the door that was so sweet that it made people feel hairy:

"Husband~"

"Bang!" Xie Xun didn't hold the teapot firmly, fell off the desk, and spun several times on the ground.

What, what? !

Maybe he was fascinated by the Shui Jingzhu just now, and his mind was still awake, when he suddenly heard the sound that should not have appeared beside him, and he felt a layer of goose bumps on his body.

Jiang Shuyao was a little puzzled when she heard the noise in the house, and was about to speak, only to realize that she almost forgot to change her voice.

She squeezed her throat: "Husband, what's the matter with you?"

Xie Xun calmed down and looked at the faint shadow on the door.

Jiang Shuyao

Jiang Shuyao's appearance quickly flashed in his mind - first, the appearance of eating, although indecent and quiet, made people appetizing, and then the appearance of writing quietly in the study that night.

But even so, she was frowning, biting a pen, and writing with a single hand. If it sounds good, she is eclectic and generous, and if it sounds ugly, she is stupid. How could Jiang Shuyao make such a sound

Evil things at work? !

"Husband~ Why didn't you answer me, then I'm in?" Jiang Shuyao said in a tired voice, while belly scolding Xie Xun for a long time without making a sound. He fell and knocked his head and passed out.

This sentence shocked Xie Xun, he got up quickly, brought his sleeves to the pen holder, made a clattering sound, and all the brushes rolled to the ground.

He had never been so flustered before when something happened, his inner irritability poured out, and he shouted, "Wait!"

Jiang Shuyao didn't know what he was doing. With the plate in his hand sore, he walked to the door impatiently, thinking about how to push the door open with his feet.

"crunch-"

The door was suddenly opened, Jiang Shuyao almost lost his footing, and looked up at Xie Xun's cold face.

Although Jiang Shuyao often complained that Xie Xun had a coffin face, it was also the kind of jade coffin that was pleasing to the eye. Now he also has a coffin face, but he has a yin qi, like a thousand-year-old rotten coffin that is going to cheat the corpse.

Xie Xun was tall and slender, with broad shoulders and long legs. Although he was a civil official, he practiced martial arts all the year round. He looked down at her when he got close, and Jiang Shuyao shivered for a moment with the male-specific coercion on his body.

Reaching out her hand not to hit the smiling person, Jiang Shuyao smiled and raised her head: "Husband, can you let me in?" The old lady's hand was sore.

This time I forgot to use the accent, it was much more normal, Xie Xun reluctantly relieved the discomfort.

"What's the matter with you?" Mingming was still thinking of having someone guard outside the study door, but he was interrupted by her, so he turned his head and forgot.

There must be a few people outside the study tomorrow to stop Jiang Shuyao!

"I thought about my husband's hard work in reading, so I made some supper." She took a half step forward, smiling with a smile, red lips and white teeth, and the red beads hanging beside her bun swayed as she walked. posture.

It is said that looking at the beauty under the moon, her smile made Xie Xun dazed for a moment, and he unconsciously stepped aside half a step.

The smile on Jiang Shuyao's face remained unchanged, she gently knocked Xie Xun away, and placed the dinner plate on the table.

"Husband, are you hungry? Let's see if these foods suit your heart."

She turned her head, and the candle light filled her face with a touch of tenderness.

Xie Xun also lost his temper at that moment and recovered quickly.

Looking at Jiang Shuyao, he always felt that something was wrong.

To be precise, maybe this is the right thing to do now. She has to marry herself regardless of her name.

Xie Xun will never lose his demeanor and care about her. Since the supper has been delivered, can he still let her take it away

Before, because Jiang Shuyao's throat was so tired, he didn't even notice the plate in her hand, but now the house was filled with the aroma of rich food, which made him swallow lightly.

He walked over and cast his eyes on the dinner plate: "What are they?"

Jiang Shuyao didn't expect him to cooperate so much, the gloomy complexion just now disappeared without a trace.

Perhaps most people can't resist the temptation of delicious food. What's more, Xie Xun's age can only be regarded as a big boy in modern times. He is at the age where he can eat a cow when he is hungry.

She introduced them one by one: "This is fried noodles, this is sizzling tofu, and this is cumin chicken wings."

The way she cooks meals has always been unique and novel, using simple ingredients to create a unique taste. Today's chefs of big families sometimes pay too much attention to expensive ingredients and methods, but ignore the most important and crucial taste.

Xie Xun coughed: "Just put it down, I'll use it when I'm hungry."

Seeing that he didn't look hungry, Jiang Shuyao didn't expect him to eat right away. She nodded and said, "Then I'll go first. Husband, after reading the book, eat some pads for your stomach. Now it's getting hot, and the food is slow to cool, but it's not good for the stomach after all. ."

Xie Xun agreed.

Jiang Shuyao had to sigh with emotion, that the scholars are different, and even their appetites can be suppressed. Now, according to the modern clock, it is 9:00 pm. In the past, even if she had dinner at 7:00 pm, she had to eat some snacks and fruits to satisfy her cravings around 9:00 pm. After eating, I should be hungry by nine o'clock.

After she left, Xie Xun sat down in front of the desk, just picked up the brush and put it down.

He waved off his inexplicable guilty conscience, lifted his robe and sat down at the dining table, when the chopsticks just touched the cumin chicken wings—

"Husband, tomorrow—"

Jiang Shuyao walked so bluntly that he almost forgot to pester him. On the way, he slapped his head and ran back quickly when he remembered the business, and then came across this embarrassing scene.

Xie Xun put down his chopsticks calmly, and said coldly, "What else?" In fact, half of his face was numb with shame.

"Uh... I just wanted to ask, are you coming back on duty tomorrow to have dinner with me?"

"Okay." Xie Xun put his hands on his knees and seemed to return to the way he used to pretend to be good at Taixue to hide his embarrassment.

"Oh." Jiang Shuyao felt weird and forgot what he was going to do, so he turned around and left again.

Leaving Xie Xun there annoyed. ,,
