The next day.

In the side hall of the mansion.

Jia Yun sat in the hall and sipped tea, while Qingwen was in the hall looking at the gifts sent from the palace and marveling.

These rewards were similar to those given to Jia Yun when he returned to Beijing, including some silver coins and palace brocade.

Originally, Jia Yun was supposed to take it back yesterday. Fortunately, he had a good relationship with the manager Gao Xian. Seeing that Jia Yun looked a little tired, he took the initiative to tell Jia Yun to go back to his house to rest, and he would arrange for someone to send him to Jia Yun's residence.

Of course, based on the idea of ​​​​making friends, Gao Xian cannot be omitted from the benefits. Jia Yun gave Gao Xian half of the reward, which made Gao Xian very happy.

Qingwen was brave enough to stand in front of Gong Jin and take a look at it. Her peach blossom eyes were shining brightly, and she even wanted to reach out and touch it to feel the silk and satin in the palace.

It's just that although Qingwen has such thoughts, this Gong Jin is not something that a little maid like her can covet at will.

The Han court had great restrictions on the clothing of various characters. Clothing was used to distinguish high and low status. Generally speaking, "black for common people, red for coachmen, white for mourning, yellow for bearers, and green for cooks"

"Official slaves, peasants are young", most common people are dressed in Tsing Yi, and the maids of wealthy families are strictly controlled in order to distinguish them from their masters' clothes!

Although the Daqian Dynasty was also a Han Dynasty, it did not have much restrictions on the color of the maids' clothing. They just had to dress plainly, and they could not have accessories on their bodies. The maids could wear accessories. It means that he is trusted by his master, and his status is only

Much higher.

The palace brocades are all made of precious silk, otherwise it would not be possible as a reward.

Qingwen looked at Huanxi, but her status was different, so she retracted her outstretched hand.

Jia Yun looked amused and said, "You can touch it if you want. It's not worth making a big deal out of."

Qingwen got Jia Yun's permission, stretched out her hand and touched it.

"Oh my god, this silk is so smooth! If you sell it outside, how much money will it cost?!"

Things are rare and valuable. Raising silkworms in ancient times was not an easy task. Secondly, there were only simple machines in ancient times. The efficiency of spinning and weaving was low, and the labor costs involved were high. As a result, silk was comparable to gold.

Qingwen's exclamation may be just curiosity in Jia Yun's eyes. Qingwen was originally on errands in the Duke's Mansion. Logically speaking, the Duke's Mansion would not be short of palace brocades. After all, the court had given out rewards to the families of distinguished nobles in previous years as a token of favor.

pet.

However, Qingwen is a little maid after all. It is not surprising that she is in the presence of Yuanyang and others. Naturally, she is not qualified to touch precious silk. I am afraid that she only gained knowledge by being around Jia Baoyu...

Jia Yun chuckled lightly and scolded: "If you like it, take some to tailor your clothes, so as not to say that I have treated you badly."

Qingwen's face lit up when she heard this, she pursed her lips and replied inconsistently: "I'm just a maid, this is against the rules."

After saying this, Qingwen looked at Jia Yun with eyes that seemed to indicate something.

Although Qingwen refused, her skillful hands never left the silk, and the girl's little thoughts were clearly revealed.

Jia Yun said casually: "It's okay, it's just some cloth, it won't hinder anything. If you don't want it, forget it and put it in the warehouse together."

Qingwen muttered, what did she mean? Seeing that Jia Yun was "heartless", Qingwen said crookedly: "A man keeps his word, how can he keep his word?"

"Oh, you still know that "a man keeps his word"? It's really strange."

Seeing Jia Yun's surprised expression, Qingwen said proudly: "That's natural. I can practice calligraphy every day, and I can do it too."

Jia Yun chuckled and ignored Qingwen's arrogance. Such a temper will only be interesting in the future.

Then Jia Yun turned his head and looked at Xiang Ling, who had been quiet all this time. Although she was silent, the look in her eyes clearly showed that she was envious of Qingwen.

Girls obviously have no resistance to such fine fabrics.

In line with the principle of "fairness", Jia Yun said: "Xiang Ling, you can also bring some tailor-made clothes."

Xiangling was stunned when he heard this and said hesitantly: "Sir, I still don't want this slave anymore. There are only a few horses in total. I'd rather keep them for my future grandma."

The precious silks and satins are not something that maids like them can use at will. If they meet a naughty grandma, it will not be easy to deal with them.

Jia Yun sighed after hearing this. This girl is so sensible that people feel pity for her. Maybe she has suffered too much. The masters she met in the past were not very reliable. Even if she behaved herself, she was still tortured to death in the end.

Jia Yun reached out and grabbed Xiang Ling's little hand. Although Xiang Ling's body tightened, she did not resist. Jia Yun gently pulled it, and Xiang Ling twisted her body consciously and stood in front of Jia Yun.

Letting go of Xiang Ling's right hand, Jia Yun raised his hand and pinched Xiang Ling's chin. Perhaps feeling shy, Xiang Ling turned her head slightly, her eyes must have been wandering, she did not dare to look directly at Jia Yun, and the blush on her face appeared

It became more vivid and spread to the back and neck.

"Little girl, fabrics are used to make clothes. Don't worry about your future grandma's affairs. It's just that you are a maid after all. If you suffer from it, you have to be mentally prepared in the future!"

Feeling the itching coming from her jaw, Xiangling's cheeks turned pink. She knew what Jia Yun meant even more clearly.

The maid can't bear it, but the people in the room, the future aunt can bear it.

"Bah, don't be ashamed." Qingwen grinned and spat, obviously dissatisfied.

Jia Yun is doing "business", and Qingwen is having a temper again. The best way to deal with the temperamental Qingwen is to ignore her.

Withdrawing the hand that was rubbing Xiangling's chin, Jia Yun picked up the tea cup on the table and drank tea leisurely.

Qingwen suddenly felt aggrieved when she saw Jia Yun's indifferent appearance. How could Xiangling get Jia Yun's recognition before him? You must know that she was the first to serve Jia Yun, and she also

Not worse than Xiangling.

Thinking of this, Qingwen's eyes gradually turned red.

"If I don't like me, then I will be sent away. It's not good to choose someone easy to work with so that we can separate easily!"

Jia Yun frowned when he saw this. Qingwen didn't know what to say. It was really annoying to send her to talk about things every day. However, Jia Yun was not as ignorant as Jia Baoyu. Qingwen was obviously jealous.

If you open your mouth to bully, it will easily hurt people's hearts.

Although Qingwen was usually careless, she was devoted to Jia Yun. If she hadn't been like this, she wouldn't have cried in anger.

So Jia Yun said: "Why are you so anxious? You can still run away."

Qingwen was startled when she heard this and said suspiciously: "What do you mean?"

Jia Yun doesn't know what Qingwen means. The best destination for these personal maids is to be an aunt by the master's side. They have status and don't have to worry about food and expenses. It's better than dragging out a boy outside.

Good.

"Everyone in the house doesn't think you two are future aunts. How can you help grandma take care of the house in the future?"

Hearing this, Qingwen spat out in annoyance: "I'm just a lowly girl. How can I be so lucky? I'm so coaxing."

Jia Yun looked at the dimples on Qingwen's pretty face and knew in his heart that this girl was useful.

"These palace brocades, you two are going to use to cut some clothes. People, horses and saddles are all so beautiful. They can't be in vain. I feel comfortable looking at them."

Qingwen responded cheerfully: "I won't let you see me!"

After saying this, Qingwen's eyes began to look at the silk and satin, as if she was thinking about how to cut it so that it would shine in someone's eyes and prevent the girl from being used as food.

Xiangling, on the other hand, walked forward silently and chose with Qingwen.

Jia Yun, who was in the hall, looked at the scene in front of him and felt relieved in his heart. These two maids fell into Jia Yun's hands, and they could not escape. They had nothing to do and had fun with the beautiful maids. This is life.

At this time, the butler Li Fu walked in from outside the hall, bowed and said: "Sir, Mr. Li Guobang, please pass me the greeting card."

Jia Yun frowned when he heard this, why did Li Guobang come to see him?

After thinking for a moment, Jia Yun ordered: "Please go to the main hall."

After saying that, Li Fufu bowed and went down to invite people, while Jia Yun said to the two girls: "Qingwen, go and prepare tea for us, Xiangling, go and ask people to send all these rewards to the warehouse."

"Yes." The two of them responded. Even though Qingwen was dissatisfied with the troublesome Li Guobang for disturbing this harmonious scene, this was a business matter and had to be handled properly...
