She slowly opened her eyes, and as soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Chen Xuan peeking at her.
But she was not timid and said indifferently.
"What, you want to try with me?"
"...Mrs. Han was joking."
"Are you kidding? Humph!"
Dai Qisi snorted coldly and said she didn't take it seriously, but when she saw Chen Xuan's greedy face, she wanted to teach him a lesson.
It's just that she has an old illness, and Chen Xuan's martial arts skills are unparalleled in the world. Even if she can't stand it, she can't fight Chen Xuan.
Feeling guilty, Chen Xuan could only pretend to close his eyes and continue to circulate Jiuyang Qi.
Dai Qisi felt it for a while, only to feel the energy and blood all over her body, and couldn't help but frown.
"Forget it, this is an old problem of mine, and I'm afraid it won't be eradicated in a while. If you are willing, you might as well come here often in the future to drive away the cold and heal my wounds."
"Will you come here more often in the future?"
When Chen Xuan heard this, he secretly raised his eyebrows.
This time Dai Qisi suddenly suffered from a recurrence of cold poison, so Chen Xuancai helped her with Qigong exercises to heal her injuries.
If he did this every time he was healed, how could he withstand it?
But after all this fussing, it was almost late at night.
The stubborn illness in Dai Qisi's body was finally relieved. With her mind and body feeling refreshed, she immediately wanted to rest.
Chen Xuan was slightly embarrassed when he saw this.
He was so busy and so busy that he was actually very sleepy, but how could he sleep in the same room with Daisy.
In desperation, he could only get up secretly and plan to go out to find Zhao Pingping to discuss preparing another guest room.
Originally, he felt a little embarrassed to trouble those two girls in the middle of the night.
Unexpectedly, when he opened the door, he heard the sound of rushing water coming from the yard.
He glanced around and saw that Zhao Pingping and Li Ru were dyeing cloth in the yard.
The two girls seemed to have been paying attention to the sounds here. As soon as Chen Xuan walked out of the door, Zhao Pingping greeted him.
"Shaoxia Chen."
Li Ru bowed her knees and apologized.
"I'm really sorry for disturbing the young hero's rest."
"It's so late, you still want to dye cloth?"
"Business is busy on weekdays, so we can only spare some time in the evening. Furthermore, our sisters use the ancestral dyeing formula, which cannot be exposed to daylight. It is best to dip-dye in the shade."
"I see."
Chen Xuan nodded, but seeing these two women working so hard, he couldn't help but sigh secretly.
After all, these two girls were also women from the previous dynasty's palace. Their appearance, talent and learning were both first-class. However, they didn't expect to be so tired now.
Originally, the tens of thousands of taels of silver should have been enough for them to live on, but now they were still so motivated. Chen Xuan couldn't say much at the moment, so he just said:
"Looking at your hard work, this silk and satin shop will definitely become famous all over the world in the future."
"Then I will accept the good advice of the young master."
Zhao Pingping seemed to know what Chen Xuan was worried about and explained.
"Young master, please don't think how tired we sisters are. The two of us are just taking advantage of the third watch of the day to dye the cloth for more than a foot and then call it a day."
"You can only dye one foot in one night? Doesn't it take several months to dye a piece of silk?"
Zhao Pingping nodded.
"Yes, the purple silk given to Mrs. Han this morning is the result of months of hard work between the two of us. It can be regarded as a token of appreciation for the young master."
"That's not possible. You are open for business. How can I take such a valuable thing for nothing? How much does that piece of cloth cost?"
Chen Xuan wanted to take out the money as he spoke.
Zhao Pingping saw this and hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him.
"This is just a little thought from our sisters. The young master was kind to us in Xiangyang, so what does this little thing mean?"
"That won't work, one code will be the same. If you two want to repay your kindness, you can go into the house later, and I will let you repay it all night."
Zhao Pingping's pretty face turned slightly red, so she naturally knew that he was teasing her and said.
"If you insist on giving me money, I'm afraid this purple silk horse will be difficult to value."
"What do you mean?" Chen Xuan was confused.
"This purple silk horse was specially customized by a famous family in Gusu City. The reason why we two sisters are working so hard is to make up for this shortcoming. If it is an estimate, I am afraid that the young master can ask the opinion of that wealthy family."
"this……"
Chen Xuan was a little embarrassed.
This piece of fabric is specially customized. Let’s not talk about the price. The key is that credibility is hard to come by.
Normally, Chen Xuan would just turn around and take out the piece of cloth, but it happened that this was what Dai Qisi liked, and he was really embarrassed to ask her to give it up.
Seeing how tired Zhao Pingping and his two daughters were, Chen Xuan hesitated for a moment and finally spoke.
"Well, let me intercede for you. Who in Gusu City ordered this piece of cloth?"
"Gusu Wang Family."
"Wang family?" Chen Xuan was not impressed.
Zhao Pingping explained, "The head of the Wang family died early, and now only Mrs. Wang is left to take charge of family affairs."
"Yeah?"
Chen Xuan nodded habitually, but when he thought about it, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
"Hey, what you said is interesting. What do you mean by specifically saying that there is a widow in the Wang family? Could it be that you know that I also have a widow here?"
He said this smoothly and found it quite interesting, so he laughed to himself.
However, Zhao Pingping looked embarrassed and reminded hesitantly.
"Shaoxia Chen..."
"What? Are you a little widow too?"
Chen Xuan smiled slightly, but he felt something was wrong with this smile. When he looked back, he found that Dai Qisi was wearing a purple shirt, looking at him with a frosty face.
Early the next morning.
Chen Xuan ran out in despair, mainly because he was making fun of Dai Qisi last night and was caught by her.
As the saying goes, if we are under the same roof, we will never see each other when we look up.
He didn't want to be embarrassed all day, so he went out early on the pretext of helping Zhao Pingping handle the order.
Although he had known for a long time that the Wang family in Gusu was a wealthy family, it was only when he walked to the door of the palace that he realized how wealthy the Wang family was.
He had been to the Green Willow Villa owned by Princess Zhao Min of Ruyang before. At that time, he felt that the place was antique and had the style of a Jiangnan garden.
Unexpectedly, only now that I have seen this Jiangnan garden can I know what the real style is.
The high wall of the courtyard gate of this villa alone is like that of a royal palace, extending for an unknown number of feet to the left and right. A rough estimate suggests that the manor covers an area of at least tens of thousands of acres.
"As expected, they are from a famous family."
Chen Xuan secretly praised him, and the servant at the door finally took him in after some inspections.
As soon as you enter this villa, you will feel the beauty inside. There are not many carved beams and painted buildings, and the rockery gardens are even more cleverly laid out and very stylish.
The most important thing is that this place is quite large, with various landscapes, palaces and towers. The scale of this villa and courtyard alone shows how wealthy the Wang family is, and it is probably only as rich as any other country.
"Just wait here."
After walking around in circles, before Chen Xuan could recover, the guard leading the way said a word and left.
Chen Xuan heard the meaning of these words and asked hurriedly.
"May I ask, Mrs. Wang, is it inconvenient to see me now?"
"What a joke, my wife has so many things to do, why can she come here just for a trivial matter like yours?"
The guard didn't say much and left immediately after saying this.
Chen Xuan was left speechless for a while.
After all, the matter was that the silk and satin shop failed to make the cloth as agreed. He came here to apologize. How could he cause trouble indiscriminately.
After waiting for more than an hour, seeing that the sun was already rising, no one came to say a word to him. He was really bored, so he walked around curiously.
Originally I just wanted to enjoy the garden scenery, but I didn’t want to and ended up getting lost while walking.
The villa was so big that he felt dizzy when he suddenly heard the faint sound of someone speaking on the partition wall.
Chen Xuan exerted a little force on his feet and jumped up. He looked behind the wall and discovered that the yard behind the wall was a flower garden.
Among the flowers, several maids were slowly strolling around surrounded by a beautiful woman.
Looking around, I saw the girl with gentle eyes, black hair like a waterfall, and a body of ice and snowy skin that seemed to be shrouded in mist. She looked like an earthly fairy, and she seemed to have a pure and sacred bookish atmosphere.
"Miss, look how beautiful this pothos is."
"This peony is also extremely beautiful."
"It's all good, it's all good."
The woman was about twenty-eight years old, about one and a half years older than Xiao Zhao, and her features were full of childishness.
It just so happens that she has a bit of a scholarly aroma, so from this point of view, she has a different flavor.
Chen Xuan hid on the eaves of the wall, looking at the girl's picturesque features, and couldn't help but take a second look.
Unexpectedly, before he could look at it for a while, five or six servants with sticks came running from the corridor behind him.
"People are there!"
"Catch him quickly!"
"Don't let him get away!"
The servants swarmed forward and without any explanation, they rushed over with sticks, which naturally attracted the attention of the young woman in the flower garden.
Chen Xuan wanted to hide back, but then he thought that he was not a thief, so he couldn't be so afraid, so he simply jumped into the courtyard.
Seeing this, the servants on the other side of the wall all panicked and said anxiously.
"Miss! Be careful of this thief!"
"Come on! Go to the backyard!"
Some of these servants took detours, and some climbed up the wall. Even though Chen Xuan did nothing, he was so frightened that several maids in the yard hurriedly hid behind the young woman.
For a moment, it was the young woman who was the boldest. She frowned slightly, and even though she saw Chen Xuan climbing over the wall and coming in, she just asked softly.
"Who are you?"
"I'm Chen Xuan. I'm a clerk at a silk and satin shop in the south of the city. I was abrupt for a moment. Miss Wan Wang forgives me."
He was quite polite in his words, but when I saw him wearing a long black gown, he didn't seem to be an ordinary slut, but rather a bit of a gentleman.
The young woman frowned slightly. Although she felt a little strange, she still bowed and said.
"My little girl, Yuyan, has met Mr. Chen."
"Yu Yan? But Yu Yan, who talks and smiles sweetly?"
Chen Xuangang asked, but before he could say anything more, the servant who climbed up the wall behind him directly picked up a stick and hit him.
Before the young woman could say anything to stop him, he waved his hand and unleashed his inner strength, knocking the three servants upside down in the air.
Although it was gentle, it still made it impossible for the three servants to get up again.
Just a small show of his hand made the young woman startled and exclaimed.
"You have so much inner strength, how can you be an ordinary cloth shop clerk?"
Chen Xuan smiled and was about to explain, but then he thought about it and realized it later.
"This is the Wang family, and your name is Yuyan. Could it be that you are Wang Yuyan?!"
"..."
"It's wonderful. I didn't expect that by such a coincidence, I would meet such a stunning beauty as Miss Wang."
He was so angry that he didn't notice Wang Yuyan's pretty face turning pale. She was obviously frightened by his arrogant words and deeds.
If he were a serious young knight from a well-known family and sent greetings according to the rules, and then came to visit him, Wang Yuyan would not be shocked.
But now he came uninvited and climbed over the wall to break into the house.
Wang Yuyan didn't care that he was dressed like a young man. She felt that even if he was not a ruthless gangster, he was still a flower-picking thief, so she tried to escape with the maid.
When Chen Xuan saw her running away after a disagreement, he subconsciously chased after her before he could realize what was going on.
"Miss Wang, why are you running?"
"..."
"Miss Wang, Chen is not a bad person. Please listen to my explanation."
"..."
"Yu Yan, don't run away, be careful of falling."
The more he spoke, the more outrageous he became. He sounded like a flower-picking thief, which frightened Wang Yuyan and the little maids to the point where they turned pale and ran away crying.
But soon the surrounding servants heard the news and came over. These servants looked after the house and the courtyard, and they were barely able to deal with some unscrupulous gangsters, but it was a bit ridiculous to deal with a master like Chen Xuan.
Chen Xuan chased him all the way, and dozens of servants took turns to stop him along the way. They were all easily knocked to the ground by him, and he chased Wang Yuyan for most of the yard.
This girl was originally a weak woman who was not good at boxing. After running for so long, she felt out of breath and felt anxious and scared.
As soon as I ran down the steps, I accidentally fell and stumbled.
However, Chen Xuan arrived unexpectedly, and suddenly caught up with Wang Yuyan, helped her up very gently, and said with a smile.
"Miss Wang, why are you running?"
Wang Yuyan looked at Chen Xuan with a pale face, but the little maid beside her suddenly burst into tears. Even Wang Yuyan was so frightened that she burst into tears, expecting something unexpected to happen soon.
"Bold maniac! Do you really deceive no one in my Wang family?"
At this moment, a woman's voice was heard.
Chen Xuan looked back and saw a beautiful woman holding a long sword and walking quickly and menacingly.
She was dressed in a goose-yellow silk dress, with gold and jade tassels hanging from her hair, and her hair was adorned with clouds and phoenix hairpins. Just looking at this outfit, she looked so noble and graceful.
Looking at her appearance again, she is even more stunning. She has dark eyebrows and plump lips, and white skin. Even though she is lightly painted with powder, she still cannot hide her bright, holy and supreme beauty.
Upon closer inspection, she seems to be 89% similar to Wang Yuyan. If it weren't for the huge difference in age, she would really be just like the twin sisters.
Chen Xuan thought to himself that this was probably the widow of the Wang family that Zhao Pingping mentioned, that is, Mrs. Wang.
"Death to the evil thief!"
Before he could say hello, Mrs. Wang raised her sword and stabbed him!
Chen Xuan didn't dare to fight back. He just reached out and held Madam Wang's wrist, holding her hand.
