Wealth and glory seek stability

Not long after dinner,

News came from outside the gatehouse that Cui Ping had arrived.

"Take him to the study."

"Yes."

Jian Xi put on her outer robe and walked into the study.

Gao Yunhuai came here today mainly to say goodbye to Jian Xi. He will be returning to the capital tomorrow, and the two of them probably won't see each other for a long time.

"Mr. Cui, what brings you here today?" Jian Xi pushed the door open and put on a professional fake smile.

She has not forgotten her identity, and she is still dressed as a man.

Although this handsome man is good, he can only be admired from a distance and cannot be approached.

It's really a big regret in life.

Walk to the desk, stand still, and sit down.

Gao Yunhuai took out a rosewood box from his sleeve.

He placed it in front of Jian Xi and said, "This is a New Year's gift for you. I'm going on a long trip tomorrow, and it will probably be after the New Year when I come back." He said it very naturally, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

Jian Xi didn't feel anything strange, so she opened the box and found a jade hairpin with a simple shape inside.

"This is?"

"This is a jade hairpin. I noticed that you usually use ordinary silver hairpins to tie your hair. This white jade hairpin is made of clear and transparent material. When I saw it, I thought of making a hairpin for you. The jade hairpin I use to tie my hair is made of the same material as the hairpin in your hand." What Gao Yunhuai didn't say was that he also made a pair of bracelets, but his current status was not suitable for giving Jian Xi bracelets.

Jian Xi suddenly felt that the hairpin in her hand was a little hot.

What the hell?!

Give her a pair of couple hairpins.

The jade hairpin in her hand was small and exquisite, and happened to have her favorite gardenia pattern on it. When her fingers brushed over the round curve of the hairpin, she couldn't help but like it even more.

That's it!

It’s just a hairpin, just accept it.

"Well, I'll accept it, but I don't have anything to give back to Mr. Cui. Last time you took me to Lingchan Temple, I forgot to invite you back. It was really rude."

Gao Yunhuai's eyes were smiling, and the tenderness in his eyes seemed to solidify into substance. "It's okay. Family affairs are busy at the end of the year, and I have no time to spare. It's fine if you invite me back after I come back after the New Year."

Jian Xi was inexplicably afraid to look Gao Yunhuai in the eye, and said casually, "Brother Cui is such a talented person, I'm sure he has a lot of concubines at home. It's inevitable that your family will be worried about you going away at the end of the year."

Gao Yunhuai picked up the teacup and took a sip. "I don't have a beautiful lady at home. My mother is away for recuperation. I want to spend the New Year with her. Why do you say that, Brother Shen? Could it be that you are young but you have developed a romantic relationship?"

Jian Xi waved her hand and said, "Mr. Cui looks old, doesn't he have a maid at home?" As she spoke, her eyes moved to Gao Yunhuai's lower body.

In this dynasty, any man with a little financial resources would have a large number of maids prepared by his family before he came of age.

Jian Xi's gaze was too explicit, and it was hard for Gao Yunhuai not to notice it.

"Brother Shen is too polite. It's a bit too polite to always call me Master Cui. Just call me Brother Cui.

I don't have any maids in my house, why are you looking at me like this?"

Jian Xi retracted her gaze and laughed, "It's okay, Brother Cui, are you okay?"

Isn't it impotence?

This tall and strong man doesn't look like he is sick.

Gao Yunhuai couldn't believe Jian Xi's strange behavior and the questions she just asked.

It shouldn't be what he thought, right?!

He stood up with a bang and said in defense: "I'm in good health!"

How could she, a woman, be like this...

"Oh." This person doesn't seem to know how to be funny, so he'd better not play with fire.

Jian Xi changed the subject, "I'm going on a long trip the day after tomorrow, and I probably won't be back for a long time."

Gao Yunhuai sat down, feeling inexplicably empty inside, but he couldn't put his finger on it, but he quickly covered it up, "Where are you going?"

Jian Xi said bluntly: "The capital." Anyway, it's not a secret that can't be told.

Gao Yunhuai couldn't help but feel happy, it turned out that they were going to the same place.

"Brother Cui is so handsome." Jian Xi said, resting her chin on her hand.

It’s really handsome!

This face is perfect no matter how you look at it, and the beard on it makes him look more mature.

People of this era generally get married early. Although she looks like fourteen, she is actually an adult woman in her twenties at heart.

It's really hard to say anything to younger boys.

If only I could have a love affair with this face.

It just so happens that he is not married yet, so she is not destroying his family.

It was the first time that Gao Yunhuai faced such straightforward praise. He didn’t know how to respond and just smiled dryly.

I wonder how he would feel if he knew that Jian Xi had already thought of the name of their future child.

The study room suddenly became quiet and the atmosphere was somewhat ambiguous. Seeing that Jian Xi's gaze was becoming more and more explicit, Gao Yunhuai could no longer sit still.

"Brother Shen, I have something else to do at home, so I'll leave now."

"Okay, I'll treat you to a meal when I get back after the New Year."

Gao Yunhuai pursed his lips, "Okay."

Turning around, a beautiful curve was left at the bottom of the black robe.

As soon as Gao Yunhuai returned home, he fell into endless regret.

What's going on with him?

He was actually forced to flee by a girl.

"Master, what do you want me to do?"

"Go and buy me some books." Gao Yunhuai walked forward and whispered for a while.

The housekeeper's pupils gradually dilated, and finally turned into an auntie's smile.

"Master, rest assured. I will definitely live up to your trust!"

Turn around and leave.

Close the study door.

The housekeeper stood in the yard and felt relieved that his young master had finally come to his senses.

Madam was worried before that the young master was into homosexuality, but now it seems that this worry is totally unnecessary.

He must write to tell his wife the good news.

In just one hour, what Gao Yunhuai wanted appeared on his desk.

He waved away the servants and began to flip through the pages.

"A Strong Woman Is Afraid of a Clinging Man", this book seems to be pretty good.

"One Hundred and Eight Ways to Pamper Your Wife". They won't need this since they haven't gotten married yet. Keep it for after they get married.

"The Secret Book of Heavenly Fragrance", what is this?

When you open it, the various postures inside will refresh your view.

Gao Yunhuai's face turned red all the way to his ears.

I closed the book immediately, but my damn photographic memory was so good that the scenes in the book were like engraved on my mind and I couldn't forget them.

What a mess the housekeeper has collected.

I took out the books "A Virtuous Woman Is Afraid of a Clinging Man" and "Seventy-two Strategies to Win a Wife", and put the rest of the books at the bottom of the bookshelf.

"It is said that a good woman is afraid of a clinging man. As long as she is a woman..."

Gao Yunhuai carefully studied every word and sentence above and finished reading the two books.

I always feel like I have seen it and yet I haven't.

Once again, it flipped over for the second time, which was rare.

I took notes when I encountered something I didn't understand.

Crunch!

The door opened.

Gao Yunhuai hurriedly closed the book and looked towards the door.

"How did you come?"
