"Elder-in-law, is this my name? No one has ever taught me how to read before, and I don't know which two characters are my name."

Guan Yi lowered his head, twirling the corners of his clothes with both hands, looking cautiously like a timid deer. Li Chengchen spread out another piece of rice paper, and wrote two strong characters with a pen behind his back. She secretly glanced at him. Baba said: "Guan...Guan..."

"Guan Yi."

She raised her head subconsciously when she heard him call her name, but the simple two words came out of his mouth for some reason, but it felt a little more lingering.

He smiled faintly at her, raised his eyebrows, Guan Yi tentatively pointed to the words on the rice paper and said hesitantly, "My name?"

"Ah."

She tilted her head and looked at it for a long time, with crystal tears flashing in her eyes, she tidied up the stack of scattered papers: "Elder-in-law, can you test me tomorrow?"

"I can teach you."

"I can do it myself." Sitting cross-legged on the soft couch, Guan Yi took out the poem written by Xiao Jing to her, and placed them one by one in order according to the shape of the font. The black hair slid down her shoulders and covered the whole couch. In the dark eyes was a tenacity and earnestness that he had never seen before.

At the end of the day, Li Chengchen slept with his arms on his arms and looked sideways at the lamp on the small table. She was still doing needlework with a needle and thread. The long cotton thread passed through the soles of the shoes and made a rustling sound. He rubbed his eyes and glanced in the direction of the bed.

Gently stacking the embroidered shoe uppers, he tucked up the corner of the quilt and put down the indigo curtain, walked to the desk and looked at the two big characters on the rice paper and curled the corners of his mouth.

For a few consecutive days, Guan Yi stayed in Linghui Palace when he was on duty at night. He went to the House of Internal Affairs to collect the brocade satin early in the morning. Lu Hai hurriedly chased him out: "If you don't have a conscience, you don't know if you come to the House of Internal Affairs to come and see me."

Guan Yi stopped and put the wooden plate on the beauty's back: "I've been looking for you for a long time, but Boss Wan said that you went to Qinghua Palace on business."

"The one from Qinghua Palace..." Lu Hai shook his head with a wry smile and did not continue, "How are you doing in Linghui Palace?"

"Grand Concubine Xi has a gentle temperament, so she treats her servants well."

"That's good, beating a dog depends on the owner. No one in this palace is so ignorant to blame the maid next to her."

Guan Yi took out a poorly crafted purse from his pocket and put it in his palm: "This is a few taels of silver I saved, you can use it to get medicine for auntie!"

"How can I ask for your money? It's no big deal."

"Jiang Li told me everything, you don't have to lie to me." She wrapped her hand around the back of his hand and pushed the purse away, "It's useless for me to keep the money, just return it to me later."

The usual hippie smile of Lu Hai's smile froze at the corners of his mouth, and the knuckles of his hand holding the purse turned white: "Guan Yi, do you think I am an unfilial son, my mother is sick and can't serve soup and medicine, and even...even...maybe I can't see you. The last time she saw...I'm so unfilial..."

His words were choked with sobs, and he raised his head with tears in his eyes: "Eldest sister said that mother wants to see me for the last time. I don't know if I can issue a note on my leave of absence from the palace."

"I heard that Manager Wan enforces the law fairly, so it's fine."

"You go back quickly! It's cold outside, don't miss your errand." Lu Hai lowered his head and breathed into her hand a few times, "The cotton shoes you made for me last year are quite warm and strong, and they haven't worn out yet."

"You secretly pick up some shredded cotton, and I'll make another pair for you. After the new year, it will be cold in the spring." Guan Yi smiled and walked forward with Lu Hai with a tray in his hand. I'm so busy now that I don't have time for these jobs."

"Director Li." Lu Hai tugged at her sleeve and bent over to salute Li Chengchen. She raised her head in surprise, "Grandpa, what a coincidence."

He looked at her with a gloomy expression, stretched his clenched fingers slightly, and walked straight along the Jiuqu corridor to the Tenglong Pavilion without saying a word. Xiao Songzi gave Guan Yi a self-contained expression, and she was puzzled. I blinked my eyes, no way, did I do something wrong again?impossible?

After serving the noble concubine Xi after dinner, when she returned to the bedroom with the drowsy Xiao Luo in her arms, the maid of honor and two nuns rushed out to greet her. He obediently lay on her shoulders, his body was soft and light The milky aroma is heart-warming.

Just now when he was put on the bed, he rubbed his sleepy eyes and said softly, "Aunt Guan Yi, haven't you learned it?"

"what?"

"Character."

Guan Yi smiled awkwardly, nodded embarrassedly, and grinned: "My brother said that Director Li is rigorous in his studies, and he is not happy today, so go back and be good."

"My servant thanked the second prince."

It's really unreasonable to be comforted by a child and say to be good. It's so strange to think about it. She memorized that poem by heart yesterday, but she knew it when it was crushed and turned into ashes this time. Father-in-law is not happy today?He is obviously not happy every night!

Sitting on the couch with a jacket on, she cut the cotton thread with scissors and looked at the finished boots with satisfaction. Her father-in-law was well dressed. She asked Huanqi for a piece of black satin to make the shoe upper, embroidered with light silver-gray curly grass patterns, and also I don't know if it's suitable or not, will you dislike her for being too ugly?

The door opened with a creak, and Guan Yi quickly hid his shoes under the quilt and greeted him flatteringly: "Elder-in-law, are you back?"

"What are you hiding?"

"No! Nothing, Eunuch, you must have read it wrong." She reached out to untie the cloak on his body, but he sideways avoided her, her fingers froze in mid-air and shyly retracted them, and followed him to the desk, "Eunuch, what do you want?" Don't test me? I've memorized them all."

He flipped through a stack of official documents and ignored them. Guan Yi took the stack of slightly crumpled rice paper and read to him one by one: "This is the word Zhu, this is the word Yan, and this is my name Guan..."

Flipping through the official documents in her hand with her slender fingers, she raised her pen and marked a few strokes from time to time, her eyes rolled: "You let me remember the poem that day, and I remembered it too. The wind blows away the belt, and there is someone playing the piano under the moonlight, isn't it?"

"Others teach you, but you remember it very clearly."

In the past few days, she was on duty at the Linghui Palace at night. When she met someone who didn't know much about it, she asked Huanshu and Huanqi for advice. Didn't he tell her to... what do you want, right!Don't be ashamed to ask: "Aren't I too stupid, I can't always remember, I have learned a lot of words in the past few days."

"is it?"

Li Chengchen closed the official document in his hand, and asked coolly, Guan Yi couldn't help but shuddered, it seemed that he was really in a bad mood, she shouldn't have offended him by not wandering around in front of him these days, it means that the business is not going well, and he It's better not to ask for trouble by rambling, you don't know how wrong you say, be good, be good.

She answered vaguely, poured a cup of hot tea and handed it over: "Elder-in-law, drink tea."

"People in the palace are strictly forbidden to give or receive privately."

Her pupils dilated slightly, and she quickly waved her hands: "I didn't!"

He raised his chin and said calmly: "What is that?"

Guan Yi looked at the corner of the black boot exposed from the quilt, pursed his lips, and pulled it out obediently under his cold eyes, and said embarrassedly: "Elder-in-law is on duty for a long time every day, and it is cold in winter. Your feet are cold when you come back late, I made you a pair of cotton boots, I don’t know if they fit well, but the workmanship may not be very delicate, it’s a bit ugly.”

"For me?"

She took off the boots on his feet, put on the new black boots on his feet, looked up and asked him with a smile, "Does it fit?"

Li Chengchen took a few steps. The boots were just the right size, comfortable and warm. Guan Yi dug out two pairs of cotton socks from the soft couch: "I also made two pairs of cotton socks. The new ones are warmer."

"Thank you."

What?She heard it right!The father-in-law actually said thank you to her?A person like him, who has nothing to worry about, does not dislike her for making boots?Scratching his head helplessly: "No...it's okay...if my father-in-law likes it, I'll make it for you for the rest of my life..."

The words that came out of her mouth made her cheeks blush, she opened her mouth to explain but found that she didn't know how to explain, she liked him and was willing to accompany him for the rest of her life.

Li Chengchen smiled lightly and shook his head: "Don't stay up all night doing needlework, your eyes hurt."

"Oh." She was delighted in her heart, with a smile on her brows and eyes, isn't a servant just doing rough work?eye pain?Let's just treat her as a father-in-law who cares about her!

Suddenly, a flash of light flashed in my mind, my not-so-smart head was finally smart for a while, the most taboo thing in the palace is the purse. Could it be that the father-in-law meant purses instead of shoes?

"Father-in-law, Lu Hai's mother is seriously ill, and he has no money to buy medicine and consult a doctor. He has taken good care of me in the palace for the past two years. I gave him some private money to treat my mother, and the purse is full of broken money. .

Even if you lend me some guts, I wouldn't dare to commit crimes under your nose. "

"How many taels of silver do you have?" He glanced at her lightly, took off his hair crown, and threw the cloak on the wooden stand. "If the parents are seriously ill, the eunuch can report to the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to visit relatives in the palace."

"The instructions haven't come down yet." Li Chengchen took off his robe, and Guan Yi quickly poured a basin of warm water, and after he washed his face and hands, he asked tentatively, "Maybe give instructions soon? Madam is very sick, I'm afraid she won't be able to hold on." It's been a few days."

"The Ministry of Internal Affairs handles affairs in accordance with the palace rules. If there is any malpractice for personal gain, report it at any time."

This is... Eunuch said so and asked Lu Hai to take a look at it tomorrow, if it doesn't work, just rub your eunuch's light with shamelessness!

"Eunuch, you are so kind."

He put a bag of 20 taels of silver on the case: "Your monthly reward here."

The author has something to say: Guan Yi (Star Eyes): So many!How to spend the first huge sum of money?Hugging the father-in-law's thigh is absolutely right.
