"Official, is the young lady sick? Why haven't she gotten up yet?"

"It's not very comfortable. You bring the rice into the pot and heat it up. When will she wake up and eat, don't bother me."

"Oh, is the official leaving now?"

Ajiao was awakened by Cui Niang's crisp voice. She opened her eyes and could see a bright outside the window through the gauze tent. Morning light came in, in a daze. Until a familiar and low-key "cart" came from the street, Ajiao sat up suddenly, picked up the tent and called out, "Official?"

Cui Niang was packing the dishes outside, and heard this and ran to the door of the east room and said happily: "Have you woke up? The official just left, and he said you are not very comfortable. The little lady thinks, do you want me to invite the old doctor?"

When Ajiao heard this, she felt lost. The official actually left. It was all because she was sleeping heavily.

As for the comfort and discomfort, Gillian's waist is indeed a little sore. The official, either he doesn't come, and he will have to torture her for two or three times before he will give up.

Looking back on last night, Ah Jiao's face turned red. Anyway, the official had left, and Mrs. Zhao was not at home. Ah Jiao lay lazily on the bed, covered her with a quilt, and said to Cui Niang: "I'm fine, you go and clean up, I'll lie down for a while."

Cui Niang said worriedly: "I still said it's okay, but the little lady's voice was hoarse."

Gillian couldn't help but touch her neck, and then muttered to herself that she didn't know anything, she was just talking nonsense.

"I'm thirsty, come in and pour me a bowl of tea." Gillian simply put on her middle clothes and leaned against the head of the bed.

Cui Niang lifted the curtain and saw that the window to the south was slightly opened, and a ray of sunlight shone in. There were books on both sides of the small desk, one of which was the one that the little lady gave to the official. Cui Niang raised her mouth and turned her eyes to the bed. She found that the gauze tent was still hanging, and the little lady's figure was hidden inside, so she couldn't see clearly.

Cui Niang poured tea, brought the tea bowl to the bed, and picked up the gauze tent with one hand.

At this moment, a strange aura came to my face, a little bit of a daughter's fragrance, and it was mixed with another smell that was not pleasant or bad. In short, it was strange.

"What's the smell?" Cui Niang sniffed like a fox and looked at Gillian.

Gillian was lying in the tent all the time, and she couldn't smell it even if she had any smell, so she didn't take Cui Niang's problem seriously and reached out to pick up the tea bowl.

Cui Niang gave her the tea bowl and sat down beside the bed, looking worriedly at the young lady who was getting up late. Cui Niang thought she would see a sick little lady. Unexpectedly, although the little lady had messy hair, she looked very beautiful. Her pink face and bright red lips, and her long eyelashes drooped and sipped tea gently, like a delicate flower that made people unable to see her eyes.

"Young lady is so beautiful. If you go to the shed to sell goods, you will keep more custody than Sister Qiuyue sells."

Cui Niang was straightforward and said whatever she thought. Outsiders said Qiuyue was beautiful, but she didn't know that there was a more beautiful little lady hidden in the house of Guanye. Last year, Cui Niang was stunned when she saw the little lady by the river for the first time. In the blink of an eye, a year was almost over. Cui Niang realized that the little lady who married Guanye was getting more and more beautiful and was still changing.

Cui Niang praised her and stared at the little lady with a smile.

Ah Jiaoying scolded her: "The old lady is not here, you are becoming more and more uncontrollable. I have married an official, so how can I go out and show up in public?"

Cui Niang said with a sermon: "Who says it's hard to show up in public? You see that many wives of their families still go out to work. The little lady is too beautiful. The official is afraid that you will be surrounded by a group of men when you go out, so he is reluctant to let you go out."

Gillian lowered her head to drink tea and ignored her.

Cui Niang glanced at the desk and asked curiously: "What does the official say when I send a book to the official?"

Gillian said to the truth: "There is no expression." Later, she expressed her feelings, and it was because she was scared by telling that kind of case.

Cui Niang was disappointed and said regretfully for A Jiao: "The official is so boring. That's a book worth three taels of silver. Did he accept it for nothing?"

Gillian glared at her and said, "I am willing to give the official to the official, and I am not asking him to give him a gift." Besides, the official has already given her a gift.

Cui Niang felt that the little lady was too honest and was dedicated to the officials and Mrs. Zhao, and she didn't know what to ask for for her.

The little lady was stupid, and the official was stupid again. Cui Niang thought about it and decided to help the little lady.

Gillian didn't know what Cui Niang had plans, so she got up after staying in bed for a while.

She didn't need to develop the business in the shed, and the embroidery work was mainly based on her. After the business was good, Gillian only worked for two hours a day and was not in a supply of work. Qiuyue was outside looking at a shop for one day. Gillian couldn't bear to let Qiuyue stay up late at night, so she could only do more by herself.

Fortunately, it was to make money for myself. Gillian didn’t feel it was hard. She worked for an hour and a half in the morning and an hour and a half in the afternoon. When she was tired, she walked around the yard and felt fine at the end of the day.

Cui Niang took on other tasks at home, washing clothes, cooking, feeding chickens and horses. In the past, she did it for nothing, but Mrs. Zhao didn't give the two brothers and sisters wages. Now her brother helped the young lady sell things. The better the business, the more money the brother got. The more money the brother got, the more money the brother had. Cui Niang was also very happy.

It was evening again without realizing it.

Cui Niang was busy in the kitchen. When she heard that the official was back, Cui Niang ran out and came to the official and smiled at the case.

Today, there was a case of the theft of incense and oil money in the temple in the yamen. Zhao Yanping wanted to tell Cui Niang and A Jiao on the way back, but today it was also very strange. She hid in the room and did not come out to greet him.

When Cui Niang saw the official staring at the east room, her eyes turned and suddenly snorted: "You are strange, why didn't you come out? You are really, the little lady gave you such a good book, but the official had no expression."

Zhao Yanping said suspiciously: "What did she tell you?"

Cui Niang shook her head immediately and hurriedly clarified: "How is it possible? Is the little lady a kind of person? I complained to her in the morning that the official was stupid and didn't know what to give back to him. The little lady even scolded me, saying that she was willing to give back to the official's things and did not want to give back to the gift."

Zhao Yanping listened to Cui Niang's whispering while leading the horse to the stable. In the end, he didn't understand why Jiao didn't come to greet him.

Cui Niang said to herself: "Official, the little lady is kind to you, so you can find a way to coax her. It's rare that the old lady is not here, and no one cares about anything you do."

Zhao Yanping lowered his head and tied up the horse, and thought of last night by a stranger.

In those times, when the old lady was afraid that the old lady would wrap her belt around her mouth when she heard it, it was the first time he asked Gillian to let go and scream.

"How to coax?" Zhao Yan asked without raising her head.

Cui Niang's eyes lit up and she gave her advice: "The Chinese Valentine's Day is in three days. There is no curfew on the Chinese Valentine's Day evening. The streets are so lively. The official also took the young lady to go shopping. Last year, my brother and I accompanied the old lady to go shopping. I saw many young couples, paired up and loved each other."

Zhao Yan nodded lightly. Thinking of Cui Niang's mouth, he told Cui Niang: "I may not be free that day. Don't tell her first, so she will wait for a while."

Cui Niang smiled and said, "I know, I know, the official also wants to surprise the little lady, right?"

Before Zhao Yanping could speak, he saw Gillian walking out of the main hall, holding a vegetable basket with a few cucumbers in it.

"The official is back." Gillian greeted softly, a layer of shame appeared on her fair face, which was something that only Zhao Yanping understood.

Zhao Yanping nodded and asked her: "Just picking vegetables in the backyard just now?"

Gillian tried not to think about those shameful scenes, and smiled like an ordinary smile: "Yes, it's hot, let Cui Niang mix cucumber shreds later."

Zhao Yanping glanced at Cui Niang.

Cui Niang ran away with a smile.

Seeing that she was smiling strangely, Ajiao followed up in the kitchen and asked Cui Niang what she said to the official.

Cui Niang pretended to be stupid and said, "I didn't say anything, I just asked the official if there was a case."

Gillian is most afraid of listening to cases now, so she put down the cucumbers and scooped out the water.

At the dinner table, Zhao Yanping took the initiative to tell Ah Jiao about the stolen money in the temple. The thief was a little monk in the temple. He stole the silver and hid the silver in an empty bird's nest in the back mountain. So the host asked the monks to search in various rooms several times but they couldn't find it.

A Jiaoqi said, "How did the official find out that the monk is a thief?"

Zhao Yanping explained: "There are two dogs in the yamen, and their noses are very good. I asked the two dogs to smell the jar of the incense and oil, and then go to Xun'er to find money. At that time, all the monks gathered together. One of the monks frequently looked at the woods in the back mountain, and I noticed the bird's nest."

Gillian admired her and said, "The official is so amazing!"

Zhao Yanping said: "It was also his timidity that revealed his flaws, otherwise he might not be able to find them out."

Gillian bit the tip of the chopsticks and glanced at the backyard.

When the official mentioned the dog, Gillian suddenly remembered that his cousin Zhu Shiyu was lying on the wall and calling her. Now Cui Niang doesn’t have to go out anymore. My cousin knew that there were people accompanying her at home, so she didn’t dare to climb the wall again. But what if Cui Niang went out to do business one day and my cousin came to cause trouble again?

Since the official was modest, Gillian changed her words and praised the two dogs in the yamen.

Zhao Yanping also liked the two big black dogs very much, they were smart and obedient.

"Official, let's raise a dog too, to see how the household uses it," Gillian looked at him bluntly, "There are more and more Tibetan silver in the family, and there is no man at home during the day. I'm afraid of thieves."

Zhao Yanping stopped chopsticks.

There has been no theft case on this street for several years, but Gillian is timid and afraid of losing money, so he just got a dog.

"Well, I'll pay attention." Zhao Yanping agreed.

Gillian smiled. Although the official face was cold, he was actually a very easy-to-talk person.

After dinner, Zhao Yanping continued to read the book "Lu Taigong's Case Study". Gillian had to wait to settle the score, so she sat opposite him and read the book. She only saw the cave room last night, and I don't know what was said behind it.

Gillian simply wanted to read the story, but what shocked her was that the book later described a lot of things in the room in detail, with two pages in it, and there were pictures! Although the style in the picture was tactful and nothing was revealed, the men and women in the picture were hiding under the shade of trees or windows, and they could see what they were doing when they looked at the posture.

Can such books be sold openly in the bookstore?

Gillian doesn’t want to see such things, she just wants to see the story!

I really don't want to see it, and my heart was tightly ticked by the bold description that I had never heard of before. Gillian secretly glanced at the official sitting upright. She turned her direction and held the book in her hand and placed it under the desk to ensure that the official could not see the content inside. In this way, Gillian could also pretend that she was reading a serious story.

Zhao Yanping occasionally looked at her and saw her biting her red lips lightly, her almond eyes were bright, and her face was suspiciously red.

Not long after, Gillian finished reading it first. She felt relieved and placed the book at the bottom of the bookshelf and pressed it under other old books.

After Guo Xing and Qiuyue came back, Jiao went out to pick her up.

Zhao Yanping thought about it, took out the book and sandwiched it between his thick discussion.

After a while, Gillian sat opposite her to concentrate on the settlement. Zhao Yanping finished reading the second half of the book expressionlessly.

After he finished reading it, Gillian had settled the score, with a smile on her lips, and she knew that her business was booming today.

"Go to sleep."

Zhao Yanping ordered that when Ah Jiao blew the oil lamp, he put both books back on the bookshelf, but did not attract Ah Jiao's attention.

Gillian was very tired last night and now she was lying in bed and wanted to sleep.

"Are you still afraid?"

A black figure suddenly appeared outside the gauze tent. A Jiao was startled and realized that it was the official. A Jiao relaxed and asked ignorantly: "What are you afraid of?"

Zhao Yanping: "That case last night."

Gillian had forgotten all of them. When Gillian thought of the scene, how could she not be afraid of her?

She nodded and looked at the man beside the bed with resentment. The official is really doing bad things with kindness.
