After traveling through time, my blood became a panacea

"I am honored to receive Miss Six's kindness." Xu Feng replied with a bow.

"But I am, after all, nominally under the command of the Fourth Young Lady. How dare I act on my own before meeting her?" He paused.

"But things are hard to predict. Who knows, I might accidentally offend the Fourth Miss in the future and be driven away with nowhere to go. Then I hope the Sixth Miss will have mercy on me and protect me." Xu Feng continued, without saying anything final.

"Oh?" Sikong Feiyan's face was even more charming. From Xu Feng's words, she heard that he didn't really want to be tied to the fourth sister. It is said that this person is very sensitive to crises. Could it be that he has already...

If this is true, this person's value is even higher than expected. If she can use him, it will be a great help. Unfortunately, even if she is reluctant, she can't force him. Otherwise, she will directly break up with the fourth sister, and she will still be the one who is not right.

"In this case, I will not force you. If Guard Xu encounters any difficulties in the future, you can come to me at any time." After saying this, she stood up slowly with a gentle smile on her face, and left slowly under the respectful gazes of the two men.

"This Sixth Miss is not as bad as the rumors say!" After everyone left, Xu Feng sighed to Qi Lin.

"This is not how the Sixth Miss usually behaves. You haven't seen her... Never mind. We shouldn't discuss the affairs of our masters behind their backs. Having said that, the Sixth Miss really values ​​you. But it's also true that a person who can make the first contribution only appears once every few decades. Brother Xu, you deserve this respect." Qi Lin joked.

Xu Feng could only feel helpless after hearing this. The two of them sat back in their seats, toasted each other, and talked about what had happened in the city recently. After they had enough wine and food, they each went their separate ways, feeling satisfied.

Xu Feng returned to the mansion. He had been staying in the retreat room these days, trying to avoid meeting the woman named Hua Ji sent by Sikong Hongyu. But today, perhaps because he was a little drunk from drinking some wine, or because he was a little upset, Xu Feng did not go directly to the retreat room this time, but came to the inner courtyard unknowingly.

"Master." A maid hurriedly bowed when she saw Xu Feng.

"Yeah." Xu Feng nodded.

"Master, are you here to look for Madam? Madam is in the study now. Do you need me to take you there?" the maid asked eagerly.

Maids like them who were sold by their parents had their lives and property in the hands of their master. Their biggest wish was to live a stable life. Their master was a kind and tolerant person.

Through serving her for the past few days, I can tell that the lady has a gentle and docile personality and is definitely easy to get along with.

It was this master who, for some reason, had been refusing to enter the inner courtyard, as if intentionally avoiding his wife. What could be done? If the master and his wife were at odds, the family would easily fall apart, and then the servants would have to face an unknown fate, not knowing where they would be assigned. In the worst case, they might be sold to a brothel.

So from the bottom of her heart, this maid hopes that the master and mistress can live in harmony and peace, and that this new family can grow and prosper.

Xu Feng felt a little awkward about addressing them as master and madam, but thinking that it was only temporary and the maids and servants were just addressing them according to their usual habits, he was too lazy to correct them.

"No need, I can go by myself, you can do whatever you need to do." Xu Feng said. He had told the two maids to take good care of the woman on the day he entered the mansion, and he didn't need them to worry about him.

"Yes, sir." Seeing this, the maid felt a little regretful but had no choice but to obey and leave.

The inner courtyard was not big. Xu Feng walked along the corridor and turned a few corners. Soon he arrived at the only study in the inner courtyard. He did not go in directly, but the door of the study was open, so he could see the scene inside.

The woman stood facing the window, the sun shining through the mottled leaves on her body. In front of her was a piece of white drawing paper, holding a brush in her hand, with a focused expression. There was another maid accompanying her, grinding ink for her.

She tilted her head slightly, as if thinking, her eyes full of lively brilliance. Then, she gently dipped the paint and sketched on the drawing paper. Her brushstrokes were delicate and lively, with a natural charm. Xu Feng watched her quietly outside the door, a little fascinated for a moment, time seemed to stand still at this moment, only the figure of the woman concentrating on painting and the painting that was gradually taking shape.

After an unknown amount of time, the woman finally let out a long sigh and gently put down her brush. She leaned forward slightly, exhaling her sweet breath to dry the ink on the paper.

When Xu Feng saw that she had finished, he lightened his footsteps, slowly walked into the study, and saw Hua Ji's paintings.

"Master!" Another maid was the first to notice Xu Feng and hurriedly saluted.

"Well, you go down first." Xu Feng said.

"Yes!" The maid bowed and quietly retreated.

"My lord." Huaji lowered her head slightly, feeling a little nervous, a little happy, and also a little embarrassed.

Xu Feng looked at the painting he had just completed. It was not about landscapes, flowers, birds, fish or insects, but about himself, Xu Feng.

In addition to the painting he had just finished, there was a pile of carefully folded drawing papers on the desk. Xu Feng flipped through them one by one and found that there were seven or eight sheets, all of which were portraits of him.

The surprise when I saw her for the first time, the slight frown when I approached her, the nervousness and curiosity when I took off her veil, the slight amazement when I saw her true face, and so on.

She actually reproduced all the expressions and movements of him when she last met him, and made them come alive on paper. Of course, these paintings were not just a portrait of him alone, the background at that time was also not missing.

Xu Feng didn't know whether to say that the other party had amazing observation skills, or that he was too idle. Huaji? Really...

"What did you do on a daily basis when you were with the Fourth Miss? Are you used to it now that you're here?" Xu Feng smelled the mint-like fragrance emanating from the other person again, which made him want to get closer to her.

"My Lord, in the young lady's courtyard, with more sisters, it will naturally be more lively. Planting flowers and grass, brewing tea, playing chess, playing the piano and practicing dancing, everyone has their own preferences.

But since the young lady has given me to the master, from now on, the master will be the only one in my eyes and heart. I only hope that the master will not abandon me and can always be by my side, and I will be satisfied. "Hua Ji looked at Xu Feng with deep affection, her watery eyes seemed to melt people.

"I will return you and this house to the Fourth Miss. I am used to being alone and have no intention of settling down." Xu Feng was silent for a while, but still spoke out what was in his mind.

When Huaji heard this, her face turned pale instantly and she fell to her knees with a thud.

"Master, please don't abandon me. My lady has never taken back anyone she has sent away. If, if you don't want me, then, then I really have no way to survive."

Hmm? Xu Feng was a little surprised. The other party's frightened expression did not seem fake. Was Sikong Hongyu's deterrence to his maids so strong?

"You get up first." Xu Feng stepped forward to help the overly panicked Hua Ji up, and then asked her with a gentle smile: "Speaking of which, I have only carried out a land reclamation mission with the Fourth Miss once. We didn't say a few words in total, and I know almost nothing about the Fourth Miss's personality.

There is no one else here, so you don't have to be shy. Can you tell me what kind of person the Fourth Miss is in your eyes?"

In fact, this is a dilemma. As Sikong Hongyu's former maid, how dare I make up stories about my master behind her back? Even if I know some secrets, I should keep them to myself.

But the other party just said that since he was rewarded, he would only have him in his eyes and heart from now on. If he said it, he would be betraying his former master, and if he didn't say it, he would be betraying his current master. She was so panicked just now and was so afraid of Sikong Hongyu, she couldn't just say a few words to fool him.

He wanted to see whether the other party was really just a maid who was good at painting, or a spy planted by Sikong Hongyu.
