Chapter 340
A guest at the Marquis's residence.
"So, the Lady Hou asked you to help me prepare things for the imperial examination?" Duan Huaichuan's expression was somewhat strange.
He knew this girl's capabilities better than anyone. When did she learn to take care of people?
"That's right," Yunxi said with a bitter face, "but I don't know what to prepare. Brother Huaichuan, you must have some ideas, maybe you've even made a list, right?"
Duan Huaichuan laughed.
This girl doesn't know how to take care of people, but she understands his thoughts perfectly.
Duan Huaichuan smiled and said, "Looks like I can take a break?"
As he spoke, he took out the sheet that was tucked inside the book.
Yunxi reached out and took it, examining it carefully.
While she was looking at the list, Duan Huaichuan poured her a cup of tea and placed it beside her, saying casually, "Is Madam Hou trying to win me over?"
"Yes," Yunxi said without hiding anything.
"So what do you think? Should I seek refuge with the Marquis's household?"
Yunxi was startled, then looked up and met Duan Huaichuan's eyes.
Those light brown eyes were filled with sunlight, clear and bright.
“...I didn’t know about such a thing.” Yunxi looked away.
Duan Huaichuan put down the book in his hand.
Yunxi sat opposite him, with a small table between them. They were not far apart. Her eyelashes were lowered, casting a shadow on her fair skin, making it impossible to see the expression in her eyes.
His younger sister, Xi'er, has changed a lot since he left Qingshui Village.
“Actually, I think if the Marquis’s mansion really looks up to me, there’s nothing wrong with seeking refuge with them,” Duan Huaichuan said softly. “Anyway, I’ve already gotten used to living here as a guest in the Marquis’s mansion, so I won’t move.”
Living here will allow me to be closer to Yunxi.
Yunxi subconsciously looked up at him: "You were just asking me that, how come you have an idea now?"
“The Lady of the Marquis has already brought you into this, what can I do?” Duan Huaichuan smiled faintly. “However, don’t tell the Lady of the Marquis about this matter yet.”
Yunxi blinked: "What's wrong?"
Meeting her blank gaze, Duan Huaichuan sighed deeply.
In some ways, the girl really hasn't changed at all.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, one should naturally strive to gain benefits for oneself.
But this girl, completely oblivious, didn't get it at all.
"Just listen to me."
Duan Huaichuan didn't say much, and Yunxi didn't ask any questions either.
They've always been like this; Duan Huaichuan would never harm her, anyway.
Yunxi glanced at the list and put it away: "Then I'll go out to buy things tomorrow."
“No need to rush, there’s still some time before the imperial examination,” Duan Huaichuan’s eyes flickered slightly. “This list is one I just made, and it’s probably not complete yet. Come to my place more often these next few days, and I’ll let you know if I think of anything, so you don’t have to keep running around.”
His thinking is always thorough.
"Alright."
"Then sit for a while longer, let me think if there's anything I'm missing."
Seeing that Yunxi was indeed sitting steadily, a smile flashed in Duan Huaichuan's eyes.
For the next few days, Yunxi would go to the Marquis's residence as a guest after getting up early in the morning.
They said they were waiting for Duan Huaichuan to make a list, but after a few days, Yunxi has regained some of the feeling she had when she was in Qingshui Village.
Back then, her biggest worry every day was having nowhere to play, whether it was too sunny or cloudy. Compared to her life now, it was like living in paradise.
