"Let's go in and talk." Ji Yunxi interrupted her and led the person in.
In the main hall, Qiuyu sat somewhat uncomfortably.
When we were in Qinghe County, we all lived in damp and dark mines. Although our clothes were different, they would get dirty after staying in the mines for a long time.
But at this moment, sitting in this elegant and exquisite main hall, looking at Ji Yunxi in the main seat wearing a gorgeous dress, and the maids coming and going chatting and laughing, Qiuyu felt a little dazed.
She was still stuck in the day in Qinghe County, the day Baofu died. Day and night, she thought about that scene and couldn't sleep well.
Qiuyu originally thought that Miss Ji, or the maids who grew up with Baofu, would be the same as her, but it seemed not to be the case.
They all seemed to have forgotten Baofu's existence.
There was a hint of sadness in Qiuyu's eyes.
Ji Yunxi lowered her eyes, took a sip of tea, and asked softly, "Why did you come to see me?"
Qiuyu was silent for a moment, then stood up from her chair and bowed to Ji Yunxi: "Miss Ji, let me be your maid!"
Ji Yunxi's eyebrows moved, but her face remained calm: "Why?"
Qiuyu said, "Baofu saved my life, and this life belongs to her! You are more than just a master in Baofu's heart, so I want to protect you on her behalf."
As soon as these words were spoken, the hall fell silent.
Ji Yunxi looked at the light green tea in the teacup and didn't speak for a long time.
Qiuyu continued, "I've found my husband and child, and have settled them. I've already told them about Baofu saving me, and they've agreed to let me serve as your maid at the Liangzhou government office. Miss Ji, don't worry. You'll be fine when you return to the capital with you."
Ji Yunxi gently put down the teacup and said to Qiuyu in the hall, "No need, you can go back."
Qiuyu was stunned: "Miss Ji dislikes me? I..."
Ji Yunxi interrupted her: "I don't lack maids."
Qiuyu was silent for a while, then smiled bitterly and said, "Really?"
She looked at Ji Yunxi who was sitting in the main seat, then looked at Wanxiang who was standing behind her, and the maids who had been cooking and making fire in the mine that day. They were also looking at her.
Qiuyu covered her face with her hands and asked, "Miss Ji, it's only been a short time, aren't you sad anymore?"
Why does it seem like she is the only one who still remembers and is still sad?
Ji Yunxi curled the corner of her mouth and looked out at the bright afternoon sun.
She didn't say much, but sighed softly: "Go back and live a good life with your family."
After saying that, Ji Yunxi stood up, asked Wanxiang and the others to see Qiuyu off, and walked towards the backyard.
With a creak, Ji Yunxi pushed open the door to Baofu's room.
Baofu's room is spotless and the layout is exactly the same as when she was there. Xuezhu comes in to clean it every morning.
On the table next to it, there is an antique urn.
Next to the urn, there is a jade bottle, in which a pink rose with a hint of red is in full bloom.
These are the flowers that the girls just changed today.
Next to the flowers, there is a string of candied haws.
Ji Yunxi reached out and gently touched the edge of the urn, saying silently, "When we return to Shangjing City, I will bury you under the rose field in the courtyard."
The rose was planted by Baofu himself, and Baofu loves roses the most.
Ji Yunxi sat for a while, then closed the door and left.

After the prince left, no one helped Wu Weian with the affairs of the Liangzhou government office, so he was quite busy these days.
But he was in a good mood, and when he returned to the bedroom, there was a smile on his lips.
When he saw the several large boxes neatly arranged in the room, he stopped in his tracks and asked the person curled up lazily on the beauty couch, "What are these?"
"Yes, the first payment." Ji Yunxi casually flipped through a page of a miscellaneous book, "Please order."
Nowadays, giving and receiving money is done by transfer, and the amount is clear at a glance.
In ancient times, it was a bit more troublesome, but there were also silver notes and gold notes that could be exchanged at a money shop.
But Wu Weian said that he did not want silver notes or gold notes, he just wanted ready-made, golden, shiny gold.
Ji Yunxi satisfied him.
Although he didn't know how he would bring the gold back when he returned to the capital.
But this has nothing to do with her anymore.
As soon as Ji Yunxi finished speaking, Wu Weian locked the bedroom door, rolled up his sleeves, and began to count the gold one box at a time.
Ji Yunxi just said casually: "Are you serious?"
Wu Wei'an: "No?"
The corners of Ji Yunxi's mouth twitched slightly: "..."
She was too lazy to care about him. After reading a few pages of a book, she felt a little sleepy, so she went back to bed and fell asleep.
But the sound of boxes being moved and the sound of gold colliding with gold could be heard from time to time, making Ji Yunxi feel helpless.
After a while, the sound finally stopped, and Wu Weian went to wash up with satisfaction.
Ji Yunxi couldn't sleep.
She pulled the quilt down a little, turned her head to look at the pile of boxes, her eyes heavy, as if she was thinking about something.
This was what Wu Weian saw when he came back from washing up with his hair still half wet.
He walked over calmly, blocking Ji Yunxi's view of his private property: "Aren't you sleepy? Why are you still not asleep?"
Ji Yunxi looked at him: "I always feel that I'm at a disadvantage."
One hundred thousand taels of gold is not a small amount.
Moreover, his forces owed a lot of money.
But it's not just 100,000 taels of gold.
Wu Wei'an walked over, sat down beside the bed, and asked softly, "Where did you lose?"
Ji Yunxi raised her eyes and looked at him intently.
Wu Weian leaned over, and a strand of his long hair fell, landing on Ji Yunxi's neck, slightly wet and itchy: "I am already yours, Madam, how can Madam lose?"
He met her gaze directly, his pupils extremely dark, as if they could devour everything.
Ji Yunxi couldn't help but blink her eyelashes again and again.
Her neck was so itchy that she reached out and tried to brush his hair away.
