The two people's eyes collided naturally in the darkness, and the light was astonishingly bright.
They looked at each other, their minds gradually becoming clear after waking up from sleep, and for a moment, no one spoke.
The sound of rain was dripping outside, but all the noise in the room reached the ears of Xuezhu and Wanxiang.
Their duties are to protect the master's safety, and their rooms are on the left and right of the master's bedroom.
They had excellent hearing, a keen sense not possessed by ordinary people, and were highly skilled in martial arts. They soon arrived outside the master's room.
Xuezhu held the broom in her hand, looking eager to try: "Young Master?" It was late at night, and he had to sweep his head!
Wanxiang asked cautiously, "How are you, Miss?"
The noise outside broke the silence in the house.
Ji Yunxi spoke first: "I'm fine."
Wu Wei'an then said, "Go back and rest."
Upon hearing this, Wanxiang bowed towards the door, tiptoed, and went back to the room.
Xuezhu held the handle, feeling somewhat disappointed, but returned to the room.
These days are really too idle and boring.
There was something that had been hidden in Xuezhu's heart for a day. After thinking about it, he decided to talk to his wife about it.
Otherwise, if he continues to be idle like this, he will be driven crazy.
Inside the house, after hearing Wanxiang and Xuezhu leave, Ji Yunxi glanced at the hazy figure standing on the ground in the darkness and pursed her lips.
Wu Weian's behavior is uncontrollable after falling asleep. He likes to kick the quilt. After kicking the quilt, he feels cold and looks for a warm place. It is human instinct.
She kicked him because it was her reaction to being woken up, and it was also human instinct.
So there was nothing much to say about this matter, and she didn't know what to say.
Ji Yunxi simply lay down with the quilt, turned over, closed her eyes and prepared to continue sleeping.
Wu Weian stood there, looking at the sky and the ground. Seeing that his wife was motionless, he tiptoed to the bed, picked up his quilt, and carefully lay back on the bed.
Just in case, he wrapped himself in the quilt several times.
The next morning, the rain stopped and the sun shone brightly.
Xuezhu didn't need much sleep. When he heard the rain outside had stopped, he got up before dawn to sweep the water from the puddle.
When the sun came out in the morning, it shone on the ground, leaving only a slightly moist layer, which soon dried up.
It was as if it had not rained last night.
Madame Du, squinting her eyes as she got up to prepare breakfast, glanced at the ground, then at Xuezhu, who was diligently wiping raindrops off the flowers and plants not far away with a rag. She then looked at the room of the master, whose door had been tightly shut for almost a month, and at the steward Yuan, who was waiting not far away with a stack of papers and carriages ready to arrange all matters in the mansion. She muttered to herself, "I'm the only normal person around the master."
Wanxiang passed by and paused slightly: "?"
In the room, Ji Yunxi woke up.
She lay flat on the bed, looking at the ceiling.
Next to her, Wu Weian curled up, still sleeping close to her through a layer of quilt.
And his quilt, as usual, disappeared.
Ji Yunxi reached out and poked him through the quilt with an expressionless face until he woke up.
Wu Weian moved back consciously, reached out his long hand to the ground and picked up his quilt.
Ji Yunxi stood up and called the maid to help her wash up.
Later, she and Wu Weian will go to the palace to see the queen.
The current queen and Ji Yunxi's mother were close friends. After Ji's mother passed away, the queen treated Ji Yunxi very well and would call her into the palace for a chat from time to time.
As a younger generation, Ji Yunxi had just been married for a few months, so there was nothing wrong with her bringing her new husband to meet the Queen.
The two of them didn't get up early, and Ji Yunxi took a lot of time to dress up. After they were ready, it was almost time to enter the palace.
Ji Yunxi's carriage was used to enter the palace today. Ji Yunxi went first because Wu Weian was stopped by the round-faced steward.
In the yard, Xuezhu, who had wiped half of the rain off her face, glanced at the young man who was being restrained by the steward, then looked at the lady who had left the yard. She mustered up her courage and quietly caught up with Ji Yunxi.
"Ma'am." He flew forward.
Ji Yunxi looked at him and stopped. Although she didn't show it on her face, she was confused in her heart.
When someone comes to see her, she can usually guess their purpose.
But as for Xuezhu, Ji Yunxi really didn't know why he came to see her at this moment.
Xuezhu not only glanced directly at his head, but also spoke directly after thinking it over: "Madam, are you still short of people in your cloth shop? I want to help you dye the cloth."
Ji Yunxi: “???”
Wanxiang, who subconsciously stood between Xuezhu and the young lady, said: "???"
Yesterday, when Wu Weian and Ji Yunxi were shopping at the cloth shop, Xuezhu also went there.
While sweeping the floor of his wife's cloth shop, he watched the women dyeing cloth in the yard. He was fascinated and watched for a long time.
Xuezhu felt that he liked dyeing cloth, and he could do it better than anyone else.
Yesterday, the girls didn't dye several pieces of cloth carefully enough.
Several times, Xuezhu wanted to push those girls away and do it herself.
But those girls belong to the lady, and the lady belongs to the young master.
Xuezhu held back.
But last night, he was lying in bed alone with his head covered by the quilt, thinking for a long time.
He thought that when the young master went to the Hanlin Academy in the morning, he could go to the lady's cloth shop to help dye the cloth, and then go back to look after the young master and continue cleaning the Wu family when the young master returned home in the evening.
In this way, his days will surely be fulfilling.
Thinking about it, Xuezhu felt itchy in her heart.
*
The luxurious and exquisite carriage sped towards the palace gate.
Inside the carriage, Ji Yunxi and Wu Weian sat opposite each other.
Ji Yunxi was still a little confused. Even though she had met countless people over the years, she was still shocked by Xue Zhu.
Wu Wei'an was listless and depressed. Of his two thousand and fifty taels of silver, only fifty taels remained.
Every time he had a little money in his hands, his subordinates would come to him for unknown reasons to ask for money, saying how hard their lives were, how they had to support their wives and children, and that they were almost out of food at home.
