emperor cold concubine

Chapter 3
The study is not a forbidden place, Yue Xiao has never kept anything from the two of them about all matters of the villa, including business matters, so Mei Yun stood in front of the closed study door with a basin of hot water, and just asked softly: "My lord, the servant has come in."

After a while, there was a faint "um" sound from inside, and Mei Yun gently pushed the door open with her right leg. As soon as the door opened, she saw her young master sitting behind the desk looking at the account book, with a frown on his face. The place is elegant and peaceful, with piles of account books sorted into categories and arranged on the case in an orderly manner. It has been nearly two months since the end of the Chinese New Year, and businesses everywhere are running in an orderly manner. It is so important that Yue Xiao needs to go through it personally. There are not many, so it is not in a hurry to read one by one.

Mei Yun carried a wooden basin filled with hot water, walked around the desk and approached him directly, put the water under her feet, then knelt down, "My lord, let's soak your feet."

Yue Xiao put down the account book in his hand, turned slightly and looked down at her, with a gentle and helpless voice, "Yun'er, don't always treat your son as a fragile doll, just stay in the house for a day, it won't hurt you." body..."

"Young Master." Mei Yun didn't let him finish, so she interrupted softly, raised her head slightly, her voice was soft but firm, "Yun'er is rude, please forgive me, Master. You have no appetite and don't want to eat, Yun'er even if you are in your heart Worried, and dare not force it. It's just that Yun'er is the son's maidservant, and it's the blessing of the maidservant and Lian'er that the son values ​​care and care. It's our duty to serve the son. Yun'er just wants the son to soak his feet. It's just to get rid of the cold, if you are not willing to agree to this request, then Yun'er is willing to kneel on this cold floor and stay with you all night...or, if you feel that the servant girl is rude, you can punish him as you like, even if you drive her away. After leaving the villa, the servant girl will have no complaints."

After being quiet for a while, Yue Xiao smiled and sighed helplessly: "Silly girl, how can you say it so seriously... Forget it, it's just a foot bath, and you can enjoy it as you like."

After getting his consent, Mei Yun secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then calmly helped him remove his boots and socks, and put his feet in hot water, "Master, will it be hot?"

Yue Xiao let her wait on her, turned her upper body to pick up the account book on the table again, and said lightly: "It's okay."

Fortunately, it means that it is still comfortable, so Mei Yun completely soaked his feet in hot water and rubbed them gently. In fact, the temperature of the water is on the high side, but martial arts practitioners are very sensitive to cold and heat. The degree of acceptance is strong, but I am not afraid of the heat. Besides, the temperature is low, and the meaning of soaking feet will be lost.

"My lord, drinking tea on an empty stomach is extremely harmful to your health. Later, Yun'er will go to the kitchen and cook a bowl of white fungus and lotus seed soup to quench your thirst, okay?"

Yue Xiao remembered asking her to make tea before, but she brought a pot of hot water for soaking her feet, and couldn't help smiling: "Don't bother." But she didn't mention the tea anymore.

Mei Yun carefully massaged the acupuncture points on the soles of his feet, "My lord, I'll see the account book tomorrow, can't I?"

"Tomorrow still has things to do tomorrow." Speaking of this, she paused, "Yun'er, Fengwu will be back tomorrow, right?"

"Well, Director Feng took three days off to go home to worship the ancestors, and Huang'er should be back early in the morning."

Yue Xiao smiled, worshiping the ancestors? This reason can only deceive children, if it is possible, I am afraid that he would like to wipe out the nine clans with his own hands, so where is the ancestor to sacrifice?
However, there is no need to explain this kind of thing to the girl. She continued to look at the account book, but suddenly her eyes were fixed by a set of numbers on it, and there was a bit of pondering and solemnity between her brows and eyes.

Mei Yun sensed something strange, "Master, what's wrong? Is there something wrong with the account?"

Yue Xiao shook her head, and after a while, the smile returned to the corners of her lips, with a hint of indescribable meaning added.However, the speed of browsing was obviously much faster next time. After a while, the account book was read, and the remaining important documents that needed his approval were signed and stamped one by one. In the silence, the time did not know. I don't feel the passage.

Looking at the moonlight outside the window, most of the night has passed, and it will be dawn in two hours.

The water was already cold, and Mei Yun's feet had been carefully wiped dry. The girl knelt on the ground with one leg, put the young man's feet on her right knee, and massaged the soles of her feet gently and vigorously, making her white and shiny. There are fine crystals on her forehead, but her expression is extremely focused, "Young master, do you want to sleep for a while?"

"Girl, your craftsmanship is getting better and better. I don't know which young master will be lucky enough to marry such a considerate, gentle and ingenious wife as you?"

Mei Yun was startled, and said in a low voice: "Yun'er will serve the young master all her life, isn't it good?"

Yue Xiao laughed and reprimanded: "You're talking stupid again, my daughter's family is always going to marry, how can she stay by my side forever? However, even if you get married, this is still your and Lian'er's home, so you don't need to worry about it. In the future, if you find Mr. Ruyi in the future, Yun'er and Lian Yatou will get married as Miss Jiyue Villa, so they can't be bullied."

Mei Yun's hands paused slightly, then continued again, her downcast face couldn't see why she was thinking, she just said softly: "Master, take a rest, I will call you again at dawn."

"Aren't you tired, girl?"

"I'm not tired. Don't you have something to do tomorrow, Young Master? The servant girl is free and can rest at any time. I will serve Young Master tonight."

Yue Xiao nodded, and didn't force her anymore, she leaned back relaxedly, closed her eyes, girl Yun pressed her head comfortably, and sleepiness hit her, and after a while, she actually fell asleep.

The chair is wide and covered with expensive white tiger skin, but after all, it is not as comfortable as a soft bed. Mei Yun wants to persuade him to lie down on the couch. It can be seen that he finally fell asleep, and he can only sleep for less than two hours. , couldn't bear to wake him up again, so he simply let him go, only took the fox fur cloak he took off earlier from the side of the desk and put it back on him, then squatted down again, tirelessly, pressing the button over and over again. Touching the sleep aid acupuncture points on the soles of his feet and calves, he only hoped that her young master could sleep more peacefully.

The quiet atmosphere is so beautiful that it makes people want to sigh. How good would it be if time could stop at this moment? But she knew it was an extravagant wish, but she couldn't stop secretly fantasizing. The phrase "married as Miss Jiyue Villa" made her startled.

Two hours passed by in a flash, the sky outside the window turned fish-bellied unknowingly, and the slightly drifting thoughts were quietly pulled back, the legs that had been squatting and kneeling had become numb to the point of unconsciousness, Mei Yun looked at her The son of the family slept peacefully, couldn't bear to wake him up, and was afraid of missing his important matter. He was hesitating, but saw her son had quietly opened his eyes and looked at her with a smile: "Girl, are you tired?" ?”

"Young master." Mei Yun smiled softly, and tried to move her stiff legs, "It's okay, I won't be very tired..."

Yue Xiao smiled and didn't say anything, just put one hand on her knee, and the soft qi flowed up the knee point, gradually softening the stiffness of her legs, "Next time, don't torment yourself like this."

Mei Yun didn't answer, just asked: "Young master, do you want someone to come in and take care of you?"

Yue Xiao withdrew her hand, nodded lightly, "The curtain is outside the door."

Mei Yun got up, walked over and opened the door, and she was greeted by Xue Lian's charming smile, "Good morning, sister Mei."

Mei Yun responded with a smile: "Morning." Seeing the two maids behind her carrying the toiletries, she said calmly, "Come in and serve."

"Yes."

"Sister Mei, the son is here for me, you go and rest."

Mei Yun nodded, turned to look at her young master, blessed herself, and said: "Young master, Yun'er will step down first."

Yue Xiao smiled and nodded: "Don't forget to eat something."

Xue Lian led the two maids into the door, saluted first, and then said: "My lord, the director of the wind has returned and is waiting in the West Flower Hall. After washing, my lord, should I eat first, or see the director of the wind first?"

There is no doubt about the answer. Naturally, I will meet the chief executive who took three days off to go home to worship the ancestors.

Feng Wu, who has just passed his thirties, does not look very outstanding in appearance, but he is a man who is mature enough and stable, just like the sword in his hand, simple and restrained, and will never let people know unless necessary. See his hidden sharpness.

The West Flower Hall is not very far from the study room of Nuanfengyuan. It is the place with the most beautiful scenery in Jiyue Villa. It faces the sun on all sides without any shield to block the scenery. On the east side of the artificial lake, there are large weeping willows that have been carefully cared for. After a winter of sleep, after a few days of spring rain, they sprouted green branches and leaves wantonly.

Feng Wu, obviously rushed back from the world, and waited here early before he could wash off his exhaustion. Although the scenery is quiet and elegant, he doesn't seem to have the slightest interest in appreciating it.Walking along the corridor alone, what Yue Xiao saw was this man who had followed him since Jiyue Villa was first built. She was a little dazed, until he approached and stood side by side with him, but she didn't realize it yet.

"If an enemy comes in here at this time, even a third-rate expert, he can easily take your life in an instant." Yue Xiao's voice has always been warm and pleasant, and it is still the same now, but there is a touch of warmth in it. chill.

Feng Wu was startled, only then did he come back to his senses, turned around and looked at Yue Xiao who had come to his side at some time, hurriedly backed up two steps, knelt down on one knee, bowed his head and said: "I have seen you, young master."

Yue Xiao glanced at him lightly, "What were you thinking just now?"

Feng Wu looked down at the ground, did not answer, only said: "This subordinate knows his mistake."

Yue Xiao was silent for a moment, sighed slightly, and then said with a smile: "Forget it, if you don't want to say it, I won't force it... Let's not be an example, get up."

"Thank you sir."

"Are you done with your work?"

Feng Wu didn't hide it this time, "I'm not really busy with anything, just to confirm one thing, the journey is long, and the time spent on the way back and forth will be more."

Yue Xiao nodded, and didn't ask any more questions, "Today I'm going out for a while, and I'll leave the affairs of the village to you temporarily."

Feng Wu raised his head, "My lord is going to..."

Yue Xiao nodded: "If Master saw that scene just now, I'm afraid no one will be able to save you."

Feng Wu's face changed slightly, and he couldn't help bowing his head again: "This subordinate understands that such a fatal mistake will not be made again."

Yue Xiao smiled faintly, bathed in the twilight of the morning light, her gentle and jade-like face was even more elegant and handsome, but in her faint smile, she couldn't hide a bit of self-mockery: "Speaking of which, I myself If you can't do it, what qualifications do you have to ask you..."

The sigh was so weak that it was almost undetectable, and finally, it dissipated in the cool air with the wind.
