Chapter 170 This was sent by my second sister, are you sure?
He didn't remember putting the sachet here.
Thinking of something, he looked towards the clothes rack on the other side. His peripheral vision happened to catch sight of the newly acquired sachet hanging on a robe not far away. It was a gift from Ji Ruyun herself.
I remember she also said at the time: "I have nothing of value to give you, sir. This is a mosquito repellent sachet I made myself. It also has the effect of calming the mind. If you don't mind, I would like to give it to you."
Qiu Shaoheng clearly remembered that when Ji Ruyun said this, she seemed to have used up all her courage. Her little face was faintly flushed, and under the moonlight, she looked very cute and charming.
At that moment, Qiu Shaoheng was indeed deeply moved. It was as if a clear spring was slowly flowing out of his heart, and the smile on his face deepened a little.
He said, "Since it's your sincere intention, how could I despise it?"
Immediately, he hung the sachet on his waist belt.
This was the first time a woman had given him something since he was little, so the meaning was naturally different. So Qiu Shaoheng cherished it very much.
But who can tell him why there is another identical sachet under his pillow?
And looking at the stitching and material, they all seem to be made by the same person.
"Alai, come in!"
At that time, Alai was leaning against the pillar and yawning. Suddenly he heard a sound from inside the house. He immediately woke up and pushed the door open.
"Sir, what happened?"
Alai's nervous and worried voice sounded.
However, after entering, she saw that her young master was only wearing a thin layer of pajamas, holding a sachet in his hand, and his face did not look very good.
"What's going on?" Qiu Shaoheng asked Alai.
"Sir, I was just about to tell you this. This was sent by the Second Young Miss. Each of the masters in the mansion has one. They say there are a lot of mosquitoes in the summer, and you have bamboo planted in your yard, which is very likely to attract rats and ants. That's why I sent you an insect repellent sachet, hoping you can sleep well at night."
"Sir, you don't like it? Then why don't you return it to the Second Miss?"
Alai observed Qiu Shaoheng's expression carefully and asked tentatively.
Unexpectedly, Qiu Shaoheng looked strange after hearing this.
"Second sister sent it? Are you sure?"
"Sir, this was given to me personally by Miss Yueya. Seeing how beautiful and exquisitely crafted it was, I took the liberty of placing it under your pillow. I know I was wrong, and I won't do it again."
After saying this, A'lai lowered his head.
He actually didn't understand why Qiu Shaoheng was so angry. In order to protect himself, he could only take the responsibility on himself.
As a servant, how could I argue with my master at this time?
At this time, Qiu Shaoheng heard him ask again: "You just said that everyone in the mansion has one. Does that mean you have one exactly like it?"
If you listen carefully, you can hear a hint of temptation and anger in his voice.
A Lai nodded first, then shook his head and said, "Not everyone has them. I heard from the maidservant beside the Second Miss that only the masters of the mansion have them. These two happened to be extra, and the color is not suitable for the female family, so they were sent here."
"Oh, by the way, there are other items delivered along with it."
After Ah Lai finished speaking, he took out a square fan from the chest of drawers beside him. It also had exquisite embroidery on it, as well as a men's sweat towel and several decorative tassels.
If you look closely, you can see that the embroidery on these objects was all done by the same person.
Qiu Shaoheng obviously realized this, and his expression suddenly turned ugly. The sachet in his hand felt extremely hot.
But she couldn't understand why Ji Ruyun lied to her.
That night, Qiu Shaoheng suffered from insomnia, a rare occurrence. He was so exhausted that he had no energy to work when he went to the yamen the next day.
After finally waiting for the end of his shift, he immediately rushed to Ji Bohou's mansion again without stopping, saying that he wanted to see Ji Ruyun.
At that time, Ji Ruyun was busy making the goods ordered by Qiu Ning. Her yard was remote and deserted, so no one would disturb her while she was working.
"Miss, the young master of the Qiu family is here again and wants to see you." The maid came in through the curtain and saw Ji Ruyun embroidering. She hurriedly reported the matter to her.
Ji Ruyun washed her hands and soon appeared in the Ji family's reception room.
"Greetings, Mr. Qiu!" She first bowed politely.
Although Qiu Shaoheng is no longer an outsider, it is still necessary to show good manners and behavior in front of him.
Qiu Shaoheng stood up and slowly walked towards her, then handed a paper bag in his hand to Ji Ruyun and said:
"I just got off work and passed by a stall. I saw a lot of people buying some, so I brought one for you. I hope you like it."
Ji Ruyun took the bag and opened it. It turned out to be a full bag of sugar-roasted chestnuts, still steaming. It was obvious that they had just been taken out of the pot.
For some reason, Ji Ruyun felt a lump in her nose and some tears welled up in her eyes.
"Are you here just to give me this?" she asked Qiu Shaoheng, looking up at him.
A soft gleam overflowed from those crystal clear eyes, representing joy.
"Ok!"
Qiu Shaoheng nodded, then took out the sachet hanging on his body and said meaningfully:
"You gave me a sachet yesterday, you should at least give me something in return."
When Qiu Shaoheng said this, he stared at Ji Ruyun without blinking, as if he wanted to see some strange expression on her face.
However, the facts disappointed him. There was nothing unusual on Ji Ruyun's face, and everything was normal.
She tightened the paper bag in her hand and thanked Qiu Shaoheng: "Thank you, I like it very much."
Qiu Shaoheng pretended to cough and then changed the subject: "I just bought it casually. It can't compare to the beautiful things you embroidered stitch by stitch. It's even better than the ones sold in that shop."
Ji Ruyun was very happy that the things she gave out were praised, but she suddenly seemed to think of something and said:
"I don't know much, and the only thing I can show off is this technique, but..."
"Just what..." Qiu Shaoheng stared into her eyes and asked.
Ji Ruyun hesitated for a moment, then said, "You know my situation in the mansion, so when I have nothing to do, I often embroider some small things and sell them, so..."
When she said this, there was a flash of embarrassment in her eyes, as if she was ashamed.
"Ruyun knows she is not worthy of Master Qiu. If you mind, I will stop making embroidery after I finish this batch of goods. Even if I want to make embroidery, I will only make it for the people in the mansion. Is that okay?"
The moment Qiu Shaoheng gave her chestnuts, Ji Ruyun was indeed touched.
She felt that it was necessary to tell Qiu Shaoheng about this matter in advance, and it would be best to seek his consent to allow her to show up and do business.
Otherwise, if you lose this marriage because of this, it will be more trouble than gain.
That's why she tried to test Qiu Shaoheng.
