As soon as she walked out of the room, Wei Yang couldn't help but shiver when the wind blew.
Yan Gui spread out his cloak and pulled her into his arms, then hurried towards his yard with her in his arms. Fortunately, it was close by and they could just walk through a long corridor to get there.
Although it was cold outside, it was warm inside.
The Yan family was not short of money. The courtyard where Yan Gui and Wei Yang lived in Tuocheng had fire tunnels built underground. Yan Gui's mother was weak and afraid of the cold after giving birth to her fourth brother, so General Yan renovated the two courtyards in Tuocheng. The Yancheng side was even more exaggerated, directly rebuilding the entire Yancheng mansion.
The study was very large, with three rooms connected together. There was a bookshelf on the east side, and a tall desk by the window, on which were randomly placed pens, inkstones, and paper. Next to the desk was a large vase half a person's height, with a few scrolls in it. I didn't know if they were paintings or maps.
The west side was probably used for meetings, separated by a screen, with a long table and high chairs. There was also a map hanging on the west wall, which Yan Gui had not had time to put away during the meeting.
Konggu and Youlan put a cushion on a chair, arranged the tea set, several plates of dried fruit snacks, and a plate of black fruit. After looking around and seeing that there was nothing to clean up, the two of them left and waited in the small tea room outside the study.
"What is this?" Wei Yang asked, pointing at the black fruit.
Yan Gui was about to collect the map, and when he heard this, he looked up and said, "That's a frozen pear, haven't you ever eaten it?"
"Frozen pear?" Wei Yang reached out to touch it, and it felt ice-cold.
"You can't eat it." Yan Gui hurried over, pulled her hand away, picked up the plate of frozen pears, and called Kong Gu in.
"The girl has been feeling unwell these past few days, so don't put anything cold or inappropriate in front of her."
"Yes." Konggu took the plate of frozen pears and brought it down. He couldn't help but complain to Ding Wu a little when he went out. It was he who had been eager to find the frozen pears, saying that the general liked them and asked him to serve them. Why didn't he think that the girl was not feeling well today
Yan Gui lowered his eyes and looked at Konggu's back. These two girls were still not enough. He remembered that Wei Yang used to have two very capable girls by her side. What were their names
"What were your two girls called before?"
Wei Yang was sitting on a chair and reading a book on military strategy. Most of the books in Yan Gui's room were military strategies, so she just picked one up at random and read it with great interest.
"What were the names of your two maids?" Yan Gui asked again in a louder voice. Wei Yang probably saw something that interested her, and answered meaningfully without even raising her head: "Which two girls? I had more than a dozen maids around me."
After a while, Wei Yang realized that Yan Gui had stopped talking, and she raised her head to look at him blankly: "What girl?"
Yan Gui sighed slightly, walked over and sat next to her in a chair: "Just concentrate on reading, don't worry about being a girl or not."
"You're the one who asked." Wei Yang muttered in a low voice and lowered her head to read the book seriously.
Looking at the little girl who was reading a book with her head down, she was wearing a light green cotton dress, her long hair was tied behind her, a few strands of hair were hanging by her ears, which made her face look even whiter.
Wei Yang was the youngest daughter of the Su family. She had several nephews and nieces who were a few years older than her, so she was naturally favored. There were more than a dozen maids and servants coming in and out of the courtyard to serve her alone. When Su Junyao became the queen, she sent two maids from the palace to take care of her.
After following him here, not only was there no fine clothes and delicious food, but even the two maids, Konggu and Youlan, were temporarily found by Ding Wu among the military dependents. Killing people in battle is fine, but serving people is not!
We have to select a few new maids for her, and also help her find those people who escaped from the Su family. She will definitely be happy if she can find them.
Yan Gui reached out and gently placed his hand on Wei Yang's hair. Wei Yang just moved and then quietly went back to reading her book.
