Qiao Yi

July [-]th, Qiqiao Festival.

If the little girl beside her hadn't mentioned it, Qiao Yi wouldn't have remembered such a day at all. Hearing the little girl chattering in her ear about how lively it would be outside today, Chun Xue suggested, "Master, you can go out with the lord." take a walk outside, outside

How lively. "

In the eyes of everyone in the Ming Palace, the relationship between their prince and concubine is very deep and loving.I didn't see that since their prince stayed in the princess's room every night, there would be some ambiguous sounds coming from the room, and the people hiding outside almost covered their hands and snickered.

If Qiao Yi knew what was going on in everyone's mind, there would be black lines all over her face.

"..." Qiao Yi, did he and Xie Yin go to the Qixi Festival?If he remembers correctly, Qixi Festival is equivalent to Valentine's Day in a sense, right?In the past, his grandpa and grandma used to sit under the vines in the yard and watch the stars every Qixi Festival, and he never got close to them.

Even now, Qiao Yi feels that the relationship between him and Xie Yin is pure and clear, and there is no ambiguity other than a man and a man.So the two of them big men went to Valentine's Day?He's out of his mind!

His Royal Highness King Ming: Is that really the case?

"In this case, I will give everyone in the house half a day off today. You can go to the account to get three pennies of money. If you want to go out to play, you can go out and play. You have to go back to the house before Haishi. I will tell the housekeeper, Let the concierge keep a small door." In the mind of a modern person like Qiao Yi, she felt that since it was a holiday, it was natural to give the employees a bonus and take a little vacation.

"Thank you, master." Upon hearing this, Zi Zhu and Chun Xue knelt down to salute.

"Get up, I didn't say anything, don't kneel around all day long." Qiao Yi saw the two maids kneeling in front of him with a slap, and almost jumped up, so don't just kneel down for him. He is afraid of losing his life.

The servants who served in the mansion signed the contract of selling themselves and sold themselves to the slaves of the master's family. Most of the masters in other houses did not pay the servants monthly money.But here in Prince Ming's Mansion, the servants all get monthly money every month, and there is reward money on New Year's Day, and the master will give them half a day off from time to time to go out and play, which is simply a great reward for everyone.

Not to mention other places outside the capital city, but in this capital city, many rich and noble families hold various banquets every New Year's Eve. The masters entertain guests, and the servants are too busy.Unlike their Ming Palace, the master never held any banquets and invited guests over. The masters didn't have much to do, and the servants wanted to urge the master to find more things for them when they were free.

The prince is the biggest in the Ming Palace, followed by the concubine.

Since Prince Ming's mansion was entrusted to him, Qiao Yi managed it according to his own wishes. He asked people to list all the people in the mansion. According to their positions, such as housekeeper and captain, the treatment must be better than that of servants and maids. People are tall.Everyone has monthly money, ranging from high to low, and other rewards are given during the New Year and festivals, and cloth and so on are distributed every quarter.There are three meals a day, and employees must eat at least one meal of meat every day.

Qiao Yi has never seen how other people are housekeepers, anyway, this is how the employees of the Ming Palace are treated.

There are not too many servants in Prince Ming's Mansion, but if there are more people, all kinds of expenses will definitely increase.Most of the expenses of the family come from the several shops under Ming Wang's name. After Qiao Yi manages the accounts, the internal purchases have their channels. He just adjusted and planned the personnel management and business philosophy of several shops. , and now the monthly operations of several shops are rising month by month.

However, he is thinking about making glass recently. If the glass can be made out, this industry will be a huge profit, which is more profitable than any other business.

The teacher invited comes to class for an hour every morning, and the children follow the teacher to read the book for the morning, and then review and write big characters by themselves. Qiao Yi will check the children's homework every day.

Qiao Yi still couldn't get used to seeing the big characters written by the child, but he didn't discourage the child's enthusiasm. He just touched the child's head and encouraged him: "Well, it's very good. It's improved from what I wrote yesterday. A lot. You will practice more later, write more seriously, and write more beautifully."

Qiao Xiaole nodded shyly, and took back the handwriting she wrote, "It's beautiful, I'm going to write." Then he ran away.

It seems that you know that your handwriting is ugly?Seeing the child who ran away, Qiao Yi couldn't help laughing.

After going out in the morning and coming back, with nothing to do in the afternoon, Qiao Yi just sat on the recliner and read. The scope of his reading is not limited to medical books. He occasionally flips through leisure books such as history, law, literature, novels, etc. , not to mention how much I like it, it's just to pass the time when I'm free.

The breeze in the afternoon made the plants in the garden sway, and the readers fell asleep without knowing it.

Seeing that the master was asleep, Zizhu made a gesture to make the walkers walk softer, and they all quietly retreated outside

The maid who was guarding the door rested her chin on one hand and sat outside dozing off.As soon as he looked up and saw their prince standing in front of him, he was so frightened that he woke up all of a sudden, knelt down on the ground and saluted: "This servant has seen the prince."

Xie Yin glanced at the maid outside the door, then lifted his foot to go inside.

Seeing their lord go in, the two little maids who were kneeling on the ground realized that they didn't have time to tell the lord that their princess is probably still sleeping at the moment...

The room was quiet, there was a book on the low table, the tea in the cup was already cold, and the boy sitting on the recliner had his eyes closed and fell asleep.The breeze blew the hem of the boy's clothes, and they were gently swaying.

Standing two steps away from the young man, Xie Yin stopped, and his eyes fell on the young man's face. The young man's eyes were tightly closed, and the long eyelashes were clearly countable.The boy who was asleep looked well-behaved and innocent. This was the first time he looked at the boy's sleepy eyes so seriously, and he felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.

A shadow above his head shrouded him, and that annoying gaze could not be avoided no matter how much he tried, it was so annoying that Qiao Yi opened his eyes.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw a person standing in front of him. He was almost startled, but when he saw clearly, he realized that it was their prince.Looking into Xie Yin's eyes, Qiao Yi sat upright in embarrassment, rubbed her nose with her hand, and asked, "Why are you here? How long have you been here, why didn't you wake me up?"

In my heart, I was wondering when this person came, and I don't know how long I have been here, how long I have been standing here watching.

"Sit." Qiao Yi asked people to sit, only to realize that there was only a recliner chair under his buttocks, and there were no other chairs for people to sit on.Fortunately, at this moment Wang Dahu came in from the outside and brought a chair over.

Xie Yin glanced at it before sitting down.

"My lord, please drink tea." The serving maid served the tea, put it on the low table, and replaced the cold cup with a hot one.

"Aha..." Qiao Yi stretched her waist halfway, and when she saw the man sitting in front of her, she stopped, laughed dryly, and asked, "Why did you come back so early today? "

"Nothing, I'll be back earlier." Xie Yin took a sip of tea.

"Oh." Qiao Yi picked up the tea and took a sip to hide his embarrassment.I just woke up now, and my mind is still not clear.

The two of them sat here without speaking for a while.

The door of the house is open, and they can see the greenery of the garden when they sit in the house.

"I heard that there is a temple fair outside today, do you want to go out for a stroll together later?" It was completely out of my head to say these words, and after I finished speaking, Qiao Yi wanted to slap himself, what was going on with this, those who didn't know thought it was him What does it mean to others.

But he didn't expect the person next to him to answer "Okay."

"Okay?" Qiao Yi turned to look at the man across from him, meeting His Highness King Ming's eyes, he quickly smiled cheekily and said, "Ah, haha, yes, yes, yes." Can he say it right? ?What I say, I have to honor it even on my knees.

July [-]th is rumored to be the day when the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl meet on the magpie bridge.

There is a custom of the Magpie Bridge Meeting in Beijing. Every year on Qixi Festival, people build the Fragrant Bridge. It is a bridge about four or five meters long and half a meter wide made of various thick and long incense sticks. made of floral decorations.

As soon as night fell, many people came here, most of them were women who came to pray for a good marriage, and there were also many young men and women who came here to watch the excitement. There were crowds of people, and it was lively outside.

"Let's go over there and have a look." Wherever Qiao Yi had attended any Tanabata temple fairs before, he just went to watch the excitement wherever he saw there were many people.He held Qiao Xiaole with one hand, followed by His Highness Prince Ming.

The child is being pulled, and he just follows along foolishly.

There were too many people around, Qiao Xiaole was a little scared, and tightly grabbed the hand that was holding him, for fear of getting lost.

From going out to now, His Highness Prince Ming's complexion didn't look very good, his eyes fell on the hands held by the big and the small, and the line of his jaw was tense.

It's just that someone with a rough nerve didn't notice it.

Zhang Jiu and Du Changting followed closely behind with their people. They didn't forget that they encountered danger when they went out last time, and their master was injured because of it. It was their responsibility to protect the master.So no matter what they say this time, they can't let the master get hurt again. The hidden guards are scattered all over the temple fair. As long as there is an order, all the people will quickly gather here.

"The relationship between our master and the concubine looks really good." From a distance, you can see the "family of three" not far away. Zhang Jiu picked up a mask and covered his face without giving money. gone.

Du Changting casually threw a few copper coins over and followed behind Zhang Jiu.
