Chapter 14 The Marquis is here, the Marquis is here to sleep
"Xiao Tao, I can't do it anymore. I need to lie down for a while..."
"Miss, lie down quietly. I will clean up these things."
Yun Qiao narrowed her almond-shaped eyes and looked at the unopened red envelope on the table.
"Give me the red envelope..."
Yun Qiao leaned on the soft couch and opened the red envelopes. Cheng Danmei gave her the largest amount, three taels of silver, and then Zhang Yuqing gave her two taels.
Lianxiang and Sun Sisi gave her half a tael of silver each, which was not a small amount, and she was content.
I thought about giving some of the embroidered handkerchiefs and sachets I made to my sisters.
The red envelope she gave to Fang Jia was not big, half an ounce was enough.
Fang Jia's conditions were better than hers. Although she was sent to the Marquis's Mansion as a concubine for her sister, Fang Jia's mother's family was rich, and she wanted to curry favor with the Marquis's Mansion and expand her business. Fang Jia naturally didn't care much about money. She liked Yun Qiao's embroidery very much. She asked her for several patterns and wanted to learn embroidery from her.
Yun Qiao knew what she was thinking, and thought that if he showed her a few more tricks later, she would definitely be happy.
After opening the red envelope, Yunqiao gave Xiaotao a red envelope containing one or two taels of silver.
"Miss, this is unacceptable. In Xiaoxiang Garden, besides the servants, there are also gatekeepers. You don't have much money. During festivals and regular social gatherings, you need to spend money."
"That won't hurt my little peach."
Yun Qiao smiled with her eyes narrowed, her beautiful hair covering the entire soft couch, and her already fair face was full of the charm and seductiveness of drunkenness.
Even Xiaotao, who spends every day with the girl, feels her heart tremble and she is filled with joy when she sees such an incomparably beautiful girl.
"Thank you, young lady. Happy New Year, young lady, may you live a long and healthy life."
Yun Qiao clicked her tongue twice. "Look at what you're saying. You should be wishing me a Happy New Year, prosperity, and wealth..."
Xiaotao imitated Yunqiao's words and repeated all those auspicious words.
Yunqiao was very happy.
She had to admit that being a concubine in the Marquis's mansion was the most comfortable life she had ever lived. She didn't have to do any rough labor and didn't have to help in the kitchen to eat her fill.
There is no need to worry that Xiaotao will die suddenly from overwork due to being bullied every day.
She also receives monthly allowance.
Usually she kept her monthly allowance herself, and relied on the Marquis's Mansion for food and drink, so she didn't want to spend extra money.
Yun Qiao gave Xiao Tao two more red envelopes and asked her to give them to the gatekeeper outside. She also gave them some small change so that they could buy some wine while they were on guard at night.
Yun Qiao gave the gatekeeper money so that it would be convenient for her when she went out in the future.
Even if she doesn't go out, Xiaotao has to go out too. She has to buy rouge and powder, and she also has to sell her embroidered handkerchiefs.
Just as Xiao Tao pushed the door open to go out, she saw someone standing outside.
"ah……."
When Xiao Tao saw the man at first sight, she screamed out loud. After looking carefully and seeing who it was, she fell to her knees.
"This servant deserves death for scaring the Marquis."
"This slave deserves to die..."
Chen Jingyan frowned and said, "Just take care of yourself."
"yes."
Xiao Tao stood up, trembling. She wanted so badly to turn around and tell the girl, "The Marquis you dread day and night has arrived..."
But now, her daughter must be lying on the couch with her legs spread out.
In fact, no. After hearing the noise outside the door, Yun Qiao quickly got up.
It's just that she woke up a little too suddenly and her head hurt a little. She calmed herself down a little and walked out as the man outside the door came in.
"My Lord, why are you here?"
"My maidservant here doesn't know the rules and disturbed you."
Seeing her dignified appearance, Chen Jingyan's frown relaxed a little.
But then, he suddenly heard some words that were very disgusting to him.
[What are you doing here in the middle of the night, not sleeping? Are you planning on doing that? No way, I'm not ready yet.]
Hearing this, Chen Jingyan's eyes suddenly narrowed.
"Are you talking drunk?" He walked closer and looked at Yun Qiao, making sure she didn't say anything, but the voice he heard just now was indeed hers.
Yun Qiao hurriedly said softly, "I drank some wine, maybe my mind is confused."
"My Lord, is there something you need?" Yun Qiao really didn't want to serve this stranger.
That’s right, to her, Chen Jingyan was a stranger.
But when she saw the man approaching her, Yun Qiao's eyes still lit up.
Unexpectedly, he is quite good-looking, no less handsome than my idol Daniel Wu.
Chen Jingyan's brows, which had just relaxed, furrowed again.
His concubine has someone in her heart.
That person's name is Daniel Wu.
She actually dared to compare him with Daniel Wu. She was really asking for death. He was the dignified Marquis of Zhenbei. How could he compare himself with an unknown junior?
"My Lord..."
Yun Qiao saw that Chen Jingyan was looking at her without saying anything, so she called out softly again.
"I'll stay in your room tonight."
These words were like a spring thunder, frying the Yunqiao until it was crispy on the inside and burnt on the outside...
Yun Qiao's mind went blank, and she said, "Then I'll help you wash up."
Xiao Tao went out to give out the red envelopes and hurried outside to wait. When she heard Yun Qiao asked for hot water, she called for it and brought it over.
Yun Qiao was used to working in the Chen family. Although she couldn't do a very good job of serving Chen Jingyan, she was very careful and attentive. It was just that she had drunk some wine today, and there was a hint of peach blossom scent on her body.
When she leaned closer, he could clearly smell the scent of alcohol on her.
"It looks like you drank quite a bit of wine today," he whispered.
Yun Qiao's hands trembled. "I smell strongly of alcohol. Why did you come here tonight, Lord Marquis?"
"If I remember correctly, I came to your room the night you were brought into the Marquis' Mansion..."
I came, but didn't go in.
I only heard the little maid say that her daughter had diarrhea and she was afraid of offending the Marquis's eyes.
Yun Qiao could only say woodenly, "My Lord, you have a really good memory..."
Chen Jingyan let her serve him. He was seldom served by anyone. Perhaps he was used to staying in the military camp. He was not used to being served by someone in front of him. Strange people and strange smells would make him feel disgusted and unable to sleep all night.
The Marquis has said that he wants to stay in her room, so I'm afraid he came here with a purpose.
I'll sleep with her tonight, I guess...
Yun Qiao's heart was pounding. After washing, she took the initiative to lie down on the outside.
Why did she lie on the outside? Because after finishing her work, she had to get up and serve this gentleman. Sleeping on the outside would make it convenient for her to get up and serve him.
Chen Jingyan glanced at Yun Qiao sideways.
I seemed to hear her mumbling something again.
[It turns out she wasn't raised in vain. Now she's fattened up and ready to be slaughtered.]
[Come on, it's just a stab, it won't kill anyone anyway]
Hearing her such bold and explicit words, Chen Jingyan lost the desire to touch her. He put his hands behind his head. Surprisingly, it usually took him half an hour to fall asleep, but today, in less than a quarter of an hour, he fell into a light sleep and slowly fell asleep.
