Chapter 636 Master and Servant Playing Around
"Is my husband angry?"
With a slightly ingratiating tone, Gu Shuyan stepped forward and tugged at Yun Yichen's sleeve, "I know I was reckless this time. I didn't tell you beforehand and made you worry. How about this, you hit me, hit me a couple of times and we'll let this matter go, okay?"
After Gu Shuyan finished speaking, she winked at Yun Yichen, but Yun Yichen seemed not to see it and continued to eat heartily.
"My dear husband, I was wrong. Please don't be angry with me anymore. As long as you're not angry, I'll do whatever you want, okay?"
Gu Shuyan was going all out to please her husband.
Sure enough, Yun Yichen finally reacted when he heard Gu Shuyan say that he was fine with anything.
He paused slightly with his chopsticks, raised an eyebrow, and asked, "Really?"
"It really is, more real than real gold," Gu Shuyan said, raising her hand to assure her.
Seeing this, Yun Yichen gave her a triumphant smile, then quickly picked up the bowl and ate the rice in it.
Then, under Gu Shuyan's puzzled gaze, Yun Yichen slowly took out a small booklet from his pocket.
"How...how did this end up with you?"
Gu Shuyan was extremely familiar with this booklet, as it was something her mother had given her on her wedding day. Since Gu Shuyan had already read everything in it, she secretly put it into her dowry.
But when did this thing end up in Yun Yichen's hands?
Seeing her surprised expression, Yun Yichen's previous gloom vanished completely. While Gu Shuyan was still in shock, he suddenly picked her up and carried her straight to the bed.
As they walked, he whispered in Gu Shuyan's ear, "This booklet is a good thing. I want to try it all out with Madam tonight."
"Yun Yichen, you big bad guy, put me down."
Gu Shuyan's face was already flushed with embarrassment. She struggled desperately to get down, but Yun Yichen held her tightly, and she couldn't muster any strength at all.
In the end, Gu Shuyan had no choice but to let Yun Yichen carry her to the bed, and then the lights went out.
The next day, Yun Yichen woke up feeling refreshed and even greeted those around him with a smile.
"Has the Grand Secretary taken the wrong medicine today?"
The guard looked at Yun Yichen's retreating figure and scratched his head in confusion.
Yufei walked in from outside and happened to hear the guard's words. She couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh, "It's obvious that the young master has never been married."
"Yes, I've never been married, but how did you know, young lady?" The guard looked simple-minded, which made Yu Fei's smile even wider.
She had never seen such a dull and clumsy person in her life, but it was precisely because of this that Yufei found him somewhat adorable.
"I just know it!"
Yufei kept the guard in suspense. Thinking of what happened yesterday, Yufei bowed deeply to the guard again and said, "Speaking of which, I haven't properly thanked you for what happened yesterday, young master. I am here to express my gratitude."
The guard was startled by Yu Fei's solemn appearance and hurriedly reached out to help her.
But when he thought about the differences between men and women, he awkwardly withdrew his hand.
"Miss, there's no need for such formality. It's all what I should do."
His current duty is to take care of and protect Yun Yichen. Yesterday's situation was simply part of his job, so in his opinion, he didn't deserve Yu Fei's thanks.
"Even so, I should thank you, young master. If you had arrived even a moment later yesterday, I don't know what would have happened."
Thinking of that possibility, Yufei bowed deeply to the guards again before turning around and entering the tent.
Watching Yu Fei's departing figure, the guard couldn't help but scratch his head again. He was still very happy to be thanked by such a beautiful girl.
When Yufei entered the tent, Gu Shuyan had just gotten up. Seeing her yawning, Yufei couldn't help but tease her, "I just saw the young master looking so energetic when he went out, how come you look so tired, Miss?"
"You still say that? It's all because..." Gu Shuyan blurted out, only realizing then that Yu Fei was deliberately teasing her.
"Well, now you even dare to laugh at me, don't you?"
As Gu Shuyan spoke, she got up and started tickling Yu Fei. Yu Fei giggled as Gu Shuyan tickled her, and she pleaded for mercy, saying, "This servant won't dare to do it again, this servant won't dare to do it again, Miss, please let this servant go this time!"
Seeing that Yufei was almost laughing uncontrollably, Gu Shuyan finally let go and spared her.
After laughing and joking around for a while, Gu Shuyan let Yu Fei comb her hair into a bun before asking Yu Fei, "Did Wuyin go out again?"
Yufei nodded. "Yesterday, Sister Wuyin found Brother Zhong outside the city. According to Brother Zhong, the grain from Young Master Xu's side should arrive in the next two days."
Hearing this, Gu Shuyan breathed a slight sigh of relief. As long as there were no problems with Xu Yunzhi, the grain could be delivered smoothly.
"Remember, all provisions must be temporarily stored in various towns and villages under the name of medicinal herbs."
"Don't worry, Miss! Sister Wuyin has already taken care of it," Yufei replied.
Upon arriving at his office, Yun Yichen immediately wrote down yesterday's events in a report and a secret letter, which he then sent to the capital in two batches.
Of course, this portion of the document was naturally withheld by He Biyou.
Since Yun Yichen wouldn't even be able to become the prefect if he returned to the capital, why bother? Rather than waiting to be slaughtered, he might as well take advantage of the power he still has to make a killing.
Even if he retires, he'll still have more money than he can spend and can still dominate Suzhou.
However, who knew that not only would Yun Yichen not allow him to profit from this disaster relief effort, but even his previous silver had long been secretly taken away by Yun Yichen's men.
The September wind was slightly cool. While people in the city were rushing to build houses, the villages outside the city had obviously been completed.
Following the areas previously designated by Vice Minister Geng, officials from the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of War led the people who had participated in building their homes to new houses.
Meanwhile, the fields managed by the women and children finally yielded a harvest and the seeds for winter were sown.
With men and women working together, the disaster victims outside the city were the first to settle down, compared to the gradual construction that began inside the city.
Those who were initially unwilling to take action and only wanted to lie outside the city waiting for the court's relief, upon seeing this situation, gradually began to choose new locations and start building houses under the leadership of the Ministry of Works.
Starting at the end of October, a cold wave moved south, and Suzhou also began to get cold.
Unable to sleep on a straw mat, the disaster victims spontaneously began to gather together, hoping to find some warmth.
"Your Honor, Magistrate Yang requests an audience, saying he has important matters to discuss with you."
Gu Shuyan was having dinner with Yun Yichen when a guard suddenly came in from outside to report.
