Chapter 78 Overwhelming the Stool
It's just that he didn't expect that she would be so extraordinary.

Mr. Qi's subject is to practice the art of assisting the country, but he chose Duan Yi.

After Duan Yi finished painting, she put down the pen and stretched.

She picked up one of them, blew it gently, and handed it to Cui Zigeng, "If the ink is wet and stained, I won't draw a second copy of yours. If you can't believe it I, too, can draw by myself."

Cui Zi put away the handkerchief and spread it out on the table, "Then I'll wait for you to find a guide, can't Mr. Guan?"

Duan Yi shook her head, "I know a more suitable person, but he is not in Jincheng at the moment. On the fifteenth day of this month, you go to the Duan family grave and wait for me, and I will take you to see him."

"As for my grandfather, I think you have already arranged someone to keep an eye on him all the time."

Duan Yi said, paused, "Besides, haven't you thought about stealing my grandfather's sheepskin fragments?"

Cui Zigeng cleared his throat, "I tried three times, but failed once."

Duan Yi also cleared her throat more, and really wanted to speak, when she heard the yelling from the yard, "Fourth Miss, why are you here? My girl was talking about you just now, saying that there is something to delay today." It's a pity that I didn't eat the Furong Cake you made."

"I just read you here. No wonder the tea made by Nuxin is three points more fragrant than usual. It turns out that it knows that there are guests coming."

Duan Yi listened, and gave Cui Zigeng a "get out of here" look.

Cui Zi stood up even more speechless, he grabbed the fragments on the table and the newly drawn map, and stuffed them into his sleeve pocket.With a leap, he flipped out from the rear window and disappeared into the night.

Duan Yi couldn't help rolling her eyes when she saw his familiarity.

This fellow is too shameless!I don't know how many girls' windows I have turned over to be able to be so light and silent!

Duan Yi rubbed her ears, Zhilu's voice was so loud that it made her dizzy.

She quickly put away the things on the table and walked out of the room.

Duan Jing changed into her usual light green casual clothes and stood in the yard, looking around curiously. Behind her was a simple and honest maidservant about eighteen or nineteen years old.

The maid was holding a black lacquered food box with three layers in her hand. The top of the box was burnt with gold, which looked low-key yet gorgeous.

Seeing that Duan Yi came out without any sign of impatience, Duan Jing breathed a sigh of relief, "Come here uninvited, I'm bothering my sister. I heard that my sister is back, so I thought, bring you some hibiscus cakes, during the day It's done."

As she spoke, she looked around Duan Yi's yard.

Compared with Duan Xian and Duan Hao's courtyard, Duan Yi's small courtyard seemed much cooler. Duan Jing looked at it, but was slightly relieved and felt a little more at ease.

Duan Yi nodded, "Come in and sit down, Zhilu will bring you some tea and fruits."

Duan Jing hurriedly said, "Don't prepare too much, this hibiscus cake is best eaten while it's hot."

As she spoke, she followed Duan Yi into the room, and within a few steps, she saw the round stool that fell to pieces on the ground.

Duan Jing's hands trembled slightly, she glanced out of the corner of her eye, and saw Duan Yi's long gun on the table that had not been put away, and dared not sit down for a long time.

Duan Yi watched as she picked up the spear, put it on another round stool, and quietly exerted some strength, the round stool seemed to be unbearable, and it fell apart with a snap.

Duan Yi grabbed the spear, stood it by the door, and said with a smile, "Do you know what's going on? Now this carpenter is a bit dishonest, I don't know what kind of broken wood he used, like paper It's like a blur."

"I'm afraid that if someone who is a little bit heavier sits on it, this stool will collapse."

Duan Jing's face was pale and complicated, no... Sister, I don't want to know what's going on!
Duan Yi watched, took a step forward, and grabbed her, "Sit down! Zhilu will come to clean up later."

Duan Jing sat down with difficulty, but her legs supported her strength, and she didn't dare to sit down.Tonight, she was greedy and used a few extra pieces of snacks. In case...she didn't know if it was her weight or the spear... In case she was heavier, the bench would collapse if she fell down!
That scene was simply an unimaginable terrifying moment!
Duan Yi didn't know that she had already imagined that she would become a laughing stock because of the collapsed chair, and then the Wang family came to the door to withdraw the marriage. Seeing that she didn't ask, she nodded in satisfaction.

"Fourth Miss drinking tea! Oh, Shan Shan, what are you still doing in a daze, bring out the hibiscus cake quickly, my girl will not be polite."

Zhilu saw that the master and servant became very reserved after a while, chattering to ease the atmosphere, she walked over, opened the food box, took out two plates of pastries from inside, and put them on the table.

The first plate was made in the shape of hibiscus flowers, while the other plate was small round cakes, the size of a bite.

When they got to the third floor, it turned out to be an exquisite small box. Seeing this, Duan Jing hurriedly stood up and picked up the small porcelain box, "This is the rouge I made myself, not today. It was made before." I did it when I was in the capital."

"It's not something valuable, so I thought that the other sisters had already given it away, so I gave it to the third sister as well."

She said, put down the rouge quickly, and said with a smile, "It's late at night, so I won't bother you. If the third sister is free, she can go to my yard to play some other day, but it's relatively small, not as good as my sister's." So spacious."

Duan Yi nodded, but she didn't force her to stay. After thinking about it, she still asked, "About your marriage?"

Duan Jing was stunned for a moment, and returned to her usual quiet and obedient appearance. She pursed her lips and said with a smile, "Thank you, Third Sister, for thinking about me. She has already made a match made in heaven. After the eldest sister gets married, the Wang family will come to propose marriage." .”

"I... this is already the best arrangement I can think of."

Duan Yi hummed lightly, "You don't regret it."

Duan Jing smiled, as if she breathed a sigh of relief, "It's only three days, and the elder sister is going to get married. Today, grandma cried a lot, saying that she was in a hurry and wronged the elder sister. But look Huang Li, if you miss this good day, you will have to wait for next year."

"Flying pigeons came from the capital to pass on a letter, saying that the mother and concubine of the third highness are urging to have a grandson! Your majesty is not young, but you don't even have a grandson... If the eldest sister can..."

As Duan Jing said, she suddenly came back to her senses, and hurriedly covered her mouth.

She and Duan Yi had a little exchange of words.

"Third sister, I'll go back now." Duan Jing picked up the empty food box, and before walking to the door, said, "I..."

Seeing her uneasy look, Duan Yi picked up a small piece of hibiscus cake and took a bite, "Don't worry, I'm not a talkative person. The hibiscus cake you made is delicious."

Duan Jing let out a long sigh of relief, smiled at Duan Yi, took the food box, and left quickly.

As soon as she left, Zhilu immediately muttered, "Girl, why are two of the stools broken? Could it be that Little General Cui was made of a bronze statue, and it was so heavy that it crushed the two stools at once! "
