"Next time I play chess, I will let you three sons."

Even if she gave up to the third son, she would not be able to win.

Shen Qiqi raised her eyes to look at him, pursed her lips wider, then disappeared again, and raised her hand to retrieve the chess pieces.

"Then I will study hard with my husband, and when my cousin comes back, I can kill my cousin's vigor."

Knowing that he can't win, he still dares to let go of his big talk.

There was a smile on the corner of his lips, but it disappeared very quickly before he was discovered.

"It's always good to be ambitious."

He sighed, and Shen Qiqi listened, always felt that there was something in his words, but he couldn't figure it out for a while, and he didn't want to say any more, so he could only skip the matter.

"Cousin, do you want to go down again?"

After being hit one after another, Shen Qiqi didn't want to play any more, and only wanted to compete with him when she learned well.

"No, you have a good rest, I should go back too."

The night has completely covered the sky, if you stay in her yard again, you will be criticized if you spread the word.

As he spoke, he stood up, Shen Qiqi was about to stand up and see him off, a shadow fell, and the next moment, a big palm pressed on his left shoulder.

"No need to send."

Shen Qiqi replied "Okay", and got up and sat back down.

Gu Tingshu went out of the room, stood at the door and looked at the gold treasures and silver treasures guarding one left and one right, and said coldly: "Take care of the girl, if there is any problem, you can go to Dali Temple Qing Zhuang Yucheng."

"Yes!"

It wasn't until Gu Tingshu came out of the yard that Jinbao and Yinbao dared to breathe unrestrainedly. The two of them held their chests and looked at each other, and they both saw in each other's eyes the feeling of remaining alive after a catastrophe.

It's too scary, it's too scary, Lord Hou is getting more and more scary.

It was the same tone when I was talking to the girl just now, why can't I feel the hostility?But to them, the words spoken are like a sharp sword, if you are not careful, you will be pierced through your heart.

The two wiped off the cold sweat from their foreheads, and fanned their faces with their hands until they behaved as usual before they dared to go in to serve.

"Girl, Master Hou has gone back."

"Ah."

Shen Qiqi sat on the soft couch, slowly put away the chess pieces, raised her head after a few breaths, and asked a little: "Do you think I should learn piano skills?"

In the entire capital city, there is no other woman who can't play the piano except her.

She has never learned it before, and if she starts learning it now, she will definitely suffer more than others.

Jin Bao and Yin Bao looked at each other and shook their heads tacitly, "If the girl doesn't want to learn, then don't learn."

"It's something that is used to pass the time. It's not worth it if you work hard and suffer for it."

It was just a whim, but after being persuaded by Jin Bao, the little flame that had just appeared was instantly extinguished.

Shen Qiqi nodded in agreement, "What you said is extremely reasonable, so I'd better not learn it."

Although she has a lot of free time, chess alone has consumed almost all of her mind, and she really can't spare the time to learn anything else.

Finding a good excuse for herself, Shen Qiqi got up with a smile, "Let's go to bed earlier, get up tomorrow morning to see off my cousin."

There are too many people in the outer courtyard, so she can't go to the gate to see them off, just go to Changfeng Pavilion to see them off.

"The slave will wake the girl up early tomorrow."

She suddenly changed her name to servant girl again, Shen Qiqi was a little unaccustomed to it, looked at her twice, and then went to the side to take off her jewelry and clothes.

"After seeing off my cousin, come back for breakfast, just call me half an hour in advance."

Jin Bao helped her take off the beaded hairpin on her head, and after hearing this, she answered "OK" in a low voice.

The next day.

These days, she is used to sleeping until dawn, and suddenly resumes her previous routine. Shen Qiqi is still not used to it. After getting up, she sat against the head of the bed for a while before waking up.

Seeing that she was in a daze, Mammy He was afraid that Jin Bao would not be able to serve her well, so she came over to dress her up by herself.

When Shen Qiqi was fully awake, Nanny had almost dressed her up, and only had to change clothes before she could go out.

"What kind of clothes does the girl wear?"

There are several sets of newly-made clothes in the cabinet, and at a glance, it can be seen that Mother Lin hurried out in a hurry, for fear that she will be ridiculed for not having any clothes to change.

"The clothes made by Mother Lin are very beautiful, just take them out as you like."

"Nurse He remembers to tell Nurse Lin that these clothes are enough, there is no need to stay up all night sewing."

These days, there are only a dozen or so pieces of clothes. These clothes are rarely seen by other girls in the mansion, but when it comes to my girl, it is enough.

This is just spring clothes, and there are clothes for summer, autumn and winter to do, and then they will have nothing to do, not to mention the cabinet, even this room may not be able to put those clothes.

"Girl don't have to worry about this, the old slaves know it well, it's all in accordance with the rules of the mansion."

The mansion stipulates that girls have twelve sets of clothes for a season, but in addition to the mansion's regulations, I can also take money and go outside to ask the embroiderer to sew them.

Therefore, there is no fixed number of things like clothes, it depends on whether you can afford them.

Shen Qiqi used to wear out-of-season and out-of-fashion clothes, the number was not much, and no one ever told her about these things, so naturally she didn't know these rules, so she just nodded her head when she heard what Nanny He said.

"I don't understand these things either. Since Mammy knows it well, Mammy can figure it out for herself."

"Okay, girl, let's change your clothes first, and this old slave will bring two lanterns."

The night is still dark, and the lights in the mansion are almost extinguished by this time. If you don't hold a lantern, you may not be able to see the road clearly.

Nanny He saluted and retreated, Shen Qiqi changed her clothes behind the screen, tidied up before going out with Jinbao and Yinbao.

Changfeng Pavilion was brightly lit at this time, and there were more than ten or twenty guards standing in the courtyard, but they couldn't even hear their breathing.

Shen Qiqi followed behind Eleven, looked back when she entered the door, and saw that the guards were all covered with black cloths, wearing long swords around their waists, with a murderous aura, she couldn't help but thump in her heart.

How dangerous it is to bring so many people there.

"Girl, Master Hou is inside."

Eleven pushed open the door, not daring to go in, but just stretched out his hand to signal to Shen Qiqi.

Jin Bao and Yin Bao were stopped outside the door together, Shen Qiqi thanked Shi Yi before stepping into the room with her skirts in hand.

As soon as she entered, the door was closed by Eleven, blocking everyone's prying eyes.

"It's not that you don't need to send it, why did you return it?"

A cold voice came from the side hall, Shen Qiqi went around and saw Gu Tingshu was getting dressed, so she stopped where she was, not knowing whether she should go or not.

Gu Tingshu put on his coat and looked up at her when he picked up the cloak. Seeing that she was hesitating, he raised his hand to beckon her, "Come here."

"cousin."

Shen Qiqi took a few steps forward, saluted and stood three feet away from him, looking up at him.

She was born petite, even with her back straight, the top of her head only reached her chin, and she stood pretty, just like a fragile doll.

Gu Tingshu took a step forward, and raised his hand to put on a cloak for her, "It's still cold, remember to wear more clothes next time when you get up early."
