Chapter 425

In Ye Xiaotian's new residence, the chefs in the kitchen were doing their best to prepare their signature dishes in order to gain the master's appreciation. The fragrance of the dishes wafted through the air, but the residence was too big, so the fragrance couldn't reach Ye Xiaotian's nose. Ye Xiaotian brought Yaoyao, Mao Wenzhi, and Mister Dong on a tour of his new residence with Hua Yunfei accompanying him.

There was a straight road paved with bluestone with courtyards on both sides, each with its own unique features. The courtyards intersected with each other as they walked in, twisting and turning. Being in the middle of it, one didn't know how big it was, but it gave off a feeling of being in the depths of the sea.

Ye Xiaotian smiled in satisfaction, "To think that I, Ye Xiaotian, was only a small prison guard in the capital's Imperial Prison. Who would've thought that I would have such glory today?"

Mao Wenzhi continued, "It's a pity that we're still missing a mistress. Otherwise, this residence would really be complete."

The little girl Yaoyao glared at Mao Wenzhi, then immediately puffed out her chest and tightened her grip on Ye Xiaotian's hand.

"Mistress …"

Ye Xiaotian stopped in front of a large cypress tree that had been transplanted from elsewhere. It was as thick as a person's arm, and he looked pensive. After a while, he frowned slightly.

He turned around and said to Hua Yunfei, "Ever since Yingying returned to Red Maple Lake, there hasn't been any news of her. She said that she went back to visit great-grandmother's illness, but now it seems that her family deliberately sent her back to separate us. Ever since I took office, I've been very busy and rarely have any freedom. I want to go to Red Maple Lake to see her, but I don't have the time. Yunfei, I'd like to trouble you to make a trip to Red Maple Lake to find out what's going on. "

Hua Yunfei said straightforwardly, "Don't worry, big brother. No matter what, I'll definitely deliver your news."

Ye Xiaotian shook his head, "Those people from the Xia family aren't that reasonable. They might be a bit afraid of me, but they won't be very polite to you. Act according to the circumstances. If there's really no chance, come back. Don't get into conflict with them."

Hua Yunfei nodded his head in agreement.

At this time, the Ye family's young lady quickly walked over and bowed to Ye Xiaotian, "Master, a hidden mistress has come to congratulate you."

There weren't any servants in the Ye residence yet, so the Ye's young lady temporarily acted as a guest. As soon as Ye Xiaotian heard Madam Qian's name, he knew that Deputy Zhao's wife had arrived. Yaoyao said excitedly, "Sister Qingqing is here. Brother, let's go and welcome her."

Ye Xiaotian held Yaoyao's little hand and walked to the front yard. Mao Wenzhi intentionally slowed down his steps and walked behind everyone. After keeping a distance from them, he gave the Ye family's young lady a silly smile, saying, "Uh, Ye's young lady, thank you for making clothes for me last time."

Ye Xiaotian's face reddened and she shyly lowered her head, saying, "Big brother Mao, you're too polite. It was only a slight effort. I wonder if the clothes fit? "

Mao Wenzhi hurriedly said, "They fit! They fit! They really fit! The young lady's skills are really good. Ha ha ha, it's just that … that new clothes need to be washed. I washed them and hung them in the yard, but the wind blew my underwear into the neighbor's pigsty … "

Ye Xiaotian lowered her head, saying, "Oh! Then I'll help Big brother Mao make another one. "

Mao Wenzhi was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, saying, "Good, good, good. Then I'll have to trouble you." As Mao Wenzhi spoke, he began to undress, startling Ye Xiaotian so much that she took a step back and covered her mouth. She stammered, "Big brother Mao, you … what are you doing?"

Mao Wenzhi took off his outer garment and took the opportunity to put it on his shoulders. She saw that there were several bolts of cloth wrapped around his belt. No wonder his waist was a bit wider than usual today. But she didn't know why he hid the cloth he bought at his waist.

Mao Wenzhi pulled out several bolts of cloth from his waist and stuffed them into Ye Xiaoniangzi's hands. With a silly smile he said, "These are the bolts of cloth that I bought yesterday from the marketplace. Thank you, Xiaoniangzi."

Ye Xiaotian held a thick pile of cloth and stammered, "The … the cloth that Big brother Mao bought last time hasn't been used up. The leftover material is more than enough to make another pair of underwear. Does Big brother Mao want to … make a new set of clothes … huh? "

As Ye Xiaotian spoke, she suddenly felt that something was wrong. Looking carefully, she saw that the top of the pile of cloth was a white folded cloth. This should be used to make underwear. A fine linen cloth could be made into undershirts and summer clothes. A bolt of modified satin, probably used to make outerwear, but there were also two bolts of makeup gauze at the bottom.

The two bolts of makeup gauze had delicate patterns, the material was soft and smooth, and the color … was dark red. Big brother Mao was such a rough man and wanted to use makeup gauze to make clothes? Ye Xiaotian simply didn't dare to imagine what Old Mao would look like after wearing makeup gauze. Was he a ladyboy?

Mao Wenzhi's old face was red and he embarrassedly said, "I've troubled young lady to help me make clothes, there's nothing to thank me for. This … this cloth, make underwear for me. The rest of the cloth is a thank you gift for young lady. Seeing that your clothes are old, make a new set of clothes. "

When Ye Xiaotian heard this, she hurriedly refused and said, "No, no, no, this can't be done. This makeup gauze is very expensive. Big brother Mao, quickly take it back, I can't take it."

Mao Wenzhi said, "How can there be a reason to take back something that's given away. Besides, the shopkeeper isn't going to refund the money, so it's really useless to keep it in my hands. Young lady, don't refuse. "

Ye Xiaotian saw that a few seedlings who were repairing the pond were curiously looking over and could only shyly hang her head and say, "Then … then I'll thank Big brother Mao. I … I'll take the things back to my room first. "

"Ai! Ai! "

Mao Wenzhi stared at Ye Xiaotian's back as she ran away. That graceful figure, that slowly swaying little waist, he suddenly opened his mouth and giggled foolishly …

Ye Xiaotian held Yaoyao's hand and walked to the front hall. From afar, he saw Qian Qingqing standing at the door with two little maids. When he saw them appear, he greeted them with a smile. Those two little maids followed behind Qian Qingqing, each holding a box of congratulatory gifts.

Qian Qingqing's steps were elegant, the golden bun on her hair didn't move at all. Her skirt swayed lightly, as if she was gliding on the ground, it was very beautiful. Yaoyao let go of Ye Xiaotian's hand and happily waved at Qian Qingqing, "Big sister Qingqing!"

She lifted her skirt and wanted to run over, but suddenly realized that this was not ladylike. She hurriedly slowed down her steps and walked forward in a gentle and elegant manner. Ye Xiaotian smiled and took a step back. Just as he was about to walk forward, he suddenly remembered something and hurriedly shouted, "Sister-in-law, stop! Please come from the side! Sister-in-law … "

When Qian Qingqing heard his shout, she was stunned and stopped. She didn't understand what he meant, but suddenly, a fountain gushed out from under her feet. The force of this fountain was not small. It sprayed right under her skirt, curling it up like a lotus leaf and covering Qian Qingqing's head.

When Ye Xiaotian saw this, he couldn't help but hold his forehead. If he hadn't shouted, Qian Qingqing would have stepped right over the fountain. But because of his shout, Qian Qingqing stopped, and the fountain sprayed him right in the middle.

Qian Qingqing felt a chill down her body and couldn't help but let out a scream. The fountain sprayed her until she was completely drenched. Fortunately, she was wearing underwear, otherwise, it would be terrible to see her naked body exposed. It's just that her underwear was thin and soft, and it was also the color of the moon. After being hit by the fountain, it stuck to her thighs, faintly revealing her flesh.

The fountain sprayed for a moment, then suddenly disappeared. Qian Qingqing stood there like a drenched chicken. The golden bun also fell to the ground. Her face was full of water and she looked very embarrassed. She seemed to be scared stiff and stood there, not daring to move.

Ye Xiaotian hurriedly said, "Yaoyao, quickly! Quickly take Madam Qian to change her clothes. "

"Oh! Oh, oh! "

Yaoyao came to her senses and hurriedly shouted, "Older Sister Qingqing, quickly come over. The fountain is going to spray again." When Qian Qingqing heard this, she jumped in fright and hurriedly left the fountain. The two maids behind her obediently went around her and slid over like yellow croakers.

Ye Xiaotian smiled and said, "Sister-in-law Zhao, I'm really sorry. There's a fountain right in the middle of the road. Uh … the residence hasn't been completely repaired yet. We were originally going to build a fish pond there. Quick, quick, go and change your clothes first. "

Qian Qingqing didn't know whether she was angry or amused at this moment. Facing a weirdo like Ye Xiaotian, she couldn't use the standards of an official to ask of him, nor could she put on the airs of a noble lady. She could only glare at him and hurriedly left with Yaoyao.

Ye Xiaotian scratched his head and said to Mao Wenzhi, who hurriedly caught up, "Old Mao, we're quite a reputable person. This kind of prank doesn't seem to be very good. It's better to get someone to build a pond there and raise some fish and lotus roots."

Mao Wenzhi beamed and said, "Alright! I'll get the craftsmen to design it later. Hehehe … "

Ye Xiaotian looked at him strangely. Wasn't it just a wet beauty? Was there a need to be so excited?

Not only did Ye Xiaotian's residence not have an adult mistress, there wasn't even a maid or an older woman. The only adult woman was Little Miss Ye. It was impossible for Qian Qingqing to bring a change of clothes when she came, so where would she get a robe to change into?

Yaoyao was quite good at thinking of a way. She first went to borrow a set of underwear from Little Miss Ye. Little Miss Ye had left the residence with nothing, so she only wore this set of clothes. However, Ye Xiaotian had a few sets of newly made Confucian robes. He took one and asked Qian Qingqing to change into it.

Qian Qingqing had long legs and a thin waist. She was tall and almost as tall as Ye Xiaotian. Wearing Ye Xiaotian's clothes actually fit her quite well. However, once she put on a man's robe, she faintly looked like a handsome young man and didn't have the charm of a young married woman.

Qian Qingqing returned to the living room. Yaoyao invited her to sit, so she also climbed onto an official hat chair next to Ye Xiaotian and sat down. She was a small person and her legs couldn't even reach the ground. Even when she sat down, the chair was empty. She still had to fold her hands on her knees and pretend to be sitting upright and still, which inevitably caused people to be afraid.

Because of this farce, Qian Qingqing couldn't even say some of the polite words she wanted to say. She could only say in a somewhat amused tone, "Lord Ye, it just so happens to be the day of your housewarming. It's just that the relay road has just been opened and the military supplies that were originally piled up have to be arranged to be transported. My humble husband can't get away, so he asked this servant to come on his behalf to express his apologies."
