The night was just right. Ji Xiaotang was not sleepy at this moment, so he was not in a hurry to go back to Yanhua Hall, and just walked slowly on the bluestone road.

Jin'er and Xiu'er followed her, and Shen Yao led the way in front. The three of them were carrying lanterns. Jin'er and Xiu'er were carrying small glass palace lanterns. Only Shen Yao carried a bright red storm, which made the road ahead look particularly bright.

"Yao'er, why are you wearing so little?" Ji Xiaotang looked at Chen Yao and saw that she was not wearing big clothes, but only wore a long-haired cotton vest outside her close-fitting jacket.

"Girl, my maid is not cold." Yao'er turned around and replied with a smile when she heard Ji Xiaotang ask her.

"Girl, you don't know, Yao'er is so cold-beaten." Jin'er smiled, "Just now, my maid and sister Xiu'er were waiting for the girl in the tea room. I knew that the girl would not go back for a while, and the small tea room was narrow, so I beat Yao'er, the girl, back to Yanhua Hall first. The girl refused to go back, saying that if the girl came out, she would not be able to make lanterns for the girl without her. She waited in the corridor outside for half a day, and she refused to listen no matter how she advised her."

"There is such a thing!" Ji Xiaotang looked at Chen Yao again.

It is hard to see clearly in the night, and Chen Yao's face is already a little red, after all, it is still in the cold winter weather.

"Sister Xiu'er found her a big dress, but she didn't want it either. She said that it was a burden to wear, so it was better to be so light." Jin'er said again.

"I am not born to be afraid of the cold, but I am a little afraid of the heat." Chen Yao explained with a smile, "I am walking around the corridor, not feeling cold at all."

Perhaps because she is grateful to Ji Xiaotang and has a deep admiration for Ji Xiaotang, Chen Yao has been very diligent since she arrived by Ji Xiaotang. Even if Ji Xiaotang doesn't use her, she will still find ways to come to Ji Xiaotang and be willing to do anything.

Chen Yao has read books and is skillful. She has done everything she has given to her. She has never been picky, nor is she afraid of heavy things.

These people who served Ji Xiaotang’s house, including Madam Cheng, like Chen Yao very much.

"Silly girl." Ji Xiaotang smiled at Chen Yao, "You are just relying on your young age and don't feel anything at this moment. You will not be allowed to do this in the future."

As he said this, Ji Xiaotang ordered Xiu'er to find another big-wool dress for Chen Yao after she went back.

"You are a maid, you can't wear it." Chen Yao said hurriedly.

"What can I wear? Sister Xiu'er and I still wear it. I have one, which is what my second wife gives me." Jin'er smiled.

"Yao'er, if you have any difficulties, just tell me." Ji Xiaotang said, "Is it the one you lacked from using with your younger brother, or your grandfather's?"

"No." Chen Yao heard Ji Xiaotang ask her family, and said it was no. "Qi'er followed the second master, lacking anything, and she can still study. Grandfather's side... Although the maid was a little worried, that was the grandfather's choice. As long as there was no war, grandmother should be fine."

Ji Xiaotang still heard that Chen Yao was worried about Mr. Shen after all.

When the Ji family went to Beijing, they once asked Mr. Shen whether he would follow him. Mr. Shen was unwilling to be raised by the Ji family for nothing, but he could read the words and even do an errand in the front yard such as an accounting office.

However, Mr. Shen was not willing to follow Ji Xiaotang and the others to Beijing.

"Although Mr. Shen has no official position, he is worried about the country and the people. There are many people like Mr. Shen in this world. Although they do not hold high positions, they are doing things that benefit the country and the people." Ji Xiaotang sighed.
