The queen cried the whole harem

Chapter 390 I Like It Very Much
Ji Yan just looked at it. She didn't plan to check it today and would go tomorrow.

Ji Yan was watching so intently that she forgot the time without noticing.

When Chen Dongyan came back from the palace, he found that there was a new housekeeper in the front yard. He asked Liu Jin what was going on. Liu Jin said it was Ji Yan's arrangement.

Chen Dongyan raised his eyebrows: "So fast? You just said you wanted to find a new housekeeper at noon, and you found one already?"

Liu Jin said: "Butler Ding is from the Fourth Master's side."

Ji Yan went to the fourth room and came back with a housekeeper, who should be from the fourth courtyard.

When Liu Jin was taking Ding Shi with him, he also found out about Ding Shi's birth. Liu Jin knew that Ding Shi's ancestors were all slaves of the Chen family.

Liu Jin briefly explained Ding Shi's identity and said, "Master, Steward Ding is very reliable. You can rest assured to hand over the third room to him."

Chen Dongyan said: "Since he is the person appointed by Ji Yan, he must be reliable. You should hand over the task to him properly."

Liu Jin: “…”

As expected, after getting married, he forgot about his elders.

In fact, what Liu Jin meant was that Ding Shi was recommended by Xie, and the Ding family had been working for the Chen family, so they were absolutely reliable.

But what the young master meant was that since it was someone his wife had found, he must be reliable.

They all say it’s reliable, but they’re not talking about the same thing.

Liu Jin smiled helplessly and said, "Master, don't worry. I have promised in front of the young lady that I will bring Ding Shi out before you leave for the border. The third house has less chores and Ding Shi has experience, so he will get the hang of it quickly."

Chen Dongyan nodded. He had originally planned to talk to Liu Jin about going to the border, but now that Liu Jin knew about it, Chen Dongyan didn't mention it again.

But he still emphasized: "At present, the matter of going to the border is still confidential, and my going to the border is a secret operation, and it cannot be known to too many people. You must not say too much, and also tell Ding Shi not to say too much."

"If anyone asks why the third house needs a new housekeeper, just say that I just got married and want to add some servants for the third house."

Liu Jin responded with an "understood" and Chen Dongyan said nothing more.

Chen Dongyan washed up in the front yard, changed into home clothes, and went to the backyard.

The backyard was still a bit deserted, and there weren't many servants in the mistress's courtyard.

Apart from some maids, there were only spring rain and spring thoughts.

Chen Dongyan thought that he could take the opportunity of adding a housekeeper to add some people to the backyard, at least a housekeeper should be added to the mistress's courtyard.

Chen Dongyan looked around before finding Ji Yan in the study.

Chunyu and Chunsi greeted Chen Dongyan, and then the two maids left.

Before leaving, I made a pot of hot tea.

Chen Dongyan didn't drink, but poured a glass for Ji Yan.

Ji Yan stretched her neck, took the teacup, and drank the tea slowly.

She was still thirsty after drinking it, so she asked Chen Dongyan to pour her a second cup.

Chen Dongyan said, "Are you so thirsty? Why don't you drink some water yourself? Why do you have to wait for me to come back and let me pour it for you?"

Ji Yan finished her second cup of tea, put it down, threw herself into his arms, and said with a smile: "The famous Mr. Chen can also tease people. I'm kidding."

Chen Dongyan hugged her, picked her up and sat in the chair she had just sat in.

He lowered his head and asked, "What are you looking at?"

Ji Yan said: "The account book."

She picked up the book she was reading today and handed it to Chen Dongyan, asking him to read it. "The account book of the third room was given to me by Fourth Aunt when I went to see her today. I was so absorbed in reading it that I forgot I was thirsty. It was not until you came back and Chunyu made tea for you that I felt so thirsty."

Chen Dongyan rubbed her face distressedly and said, "Take your time and see. There is no rush."

"Well, I know."

Then he asked him, "Is it nothing important to do today when you come to the palace to take up your post?"

Chen Dongyan said: "It's nothing serious, but I heard from Liu Jin that you found a new housekeeper."

Ji Yan told him about Ding Shi. Chen Dongyan said, "We have found a new housekeeper for the front yard, and we need to find a housekeeper for the back yard as well."

Ji Yan nodded. Normally, a married daughter would bring her own maids and servants, but Ji Yan's parents were not at home, and she had just returned to the Ji Mansion. Even Chunyu and Chunsi were found later, so she had no servants to take care of her.

Because she was not getting married in Bobei Pass, and Mrs. Ji and her entourage came from thousands of miles away, Mrs. Ji did not bring many people with her, she only brought Mother Tian.

Mrs. Ji did say that she would leave Mother Tian to Ji Yan, but Ji Yan didn't want her.

Mother Tian was Madam Ji's maid who came with her as a dowry, and she was also the maid that Madam Ji was used to having. How could Ji Yan feel comfortable asking for her?

When Ji Yan got married, she only brought two maids as a dowry, which was enough for her.

If the housekeeper doesn’t have it, you can find another one. It’s not difficult.

Ji Yan said, "I will look through the account books today and mark the parts I don't understand. Tomorrow I will go to Fourth Aunt to ask her for advice and to ask her to help me find a mother to manage the business."

Chen Dongyan trusted Xie very much, so he nodded and agreed when he heard it.

Ji Yan wanted to continue looking at the account book, but Chen Dongyan felt sorry for her and said, "Take a break before you look at it again."

Ji Yan said: "Okay, I'll accompany my husband."

Chen Dongyan: “…”

I did not mean that.

Ji Yan hugged him and wanted to kiss him.

Chen Dongyan glanced around and saw that this was a study room filled with books of sages. It would not be a good idea to do such a thing here.

Then I thought that it was still daytime. Although night had fallen, it was not completely dark yet. It would not be a good idea to do such a thing.

But he couldn't refuse Ji Yan.

Besides, he knew Ji Yan very well.

This woman, once she has lustful thoughts, will never give up until she gets what she wants.

Chen Dongyan hugged Ji Yan, carried her out of the study and went to the bedroom.

After entering the bedroom, Chen Dongyan let Ji Yan do whatever she wanted.

The two of them fooled around for nearly two hours.

The night was dark and Chunyu was shouting outside that it was time for dinner. The two of them then washed, dressed, and went out to eat.

After dinner, Ji Yan continued to look at the account books. She didn’t look at them in the study, but in the bedroom.

Chen Dongyan was practicing sword in the yard, and Liu Jin was accompanying him.

It only took Ding Shi half a day to take over the management process of the front yard and arranged things in an orderly manner. Liu Jin simply left it alone.

Ding Shi had nothing to do. Chen Dongyan rarely entertained guests, and he was the only one in the entire front yard. As a housekeeper, there was really little he could do.

However, Chen Dongyan was married, and his family was established. Even if he didn't entertain guests, he had to do favors. Ding Shi remembered all the relatives and friends related to Chen Dongyan and Ji Yan, and found out about them. If there was a situation where gifts were needed, he had to make arrangements.

At one o'clock in the morning, Chen Dongyan put away his sword and returned to the front yard.

He still washed in the front yard before going to the backyard.

Ji Yan was still looking at the account book. Chen Dongyan entered the bedroom and frowned when he saw her looking at the account book under the lamp.

He stepped forward, took the account book from Ji Yan's hand, and said, "Look at it during the day, it will hurt your eyes at night."

Ji Yan said coquettishly: "I am still waiting for you."

Chen Dongyan looked at her rosy face and her coquettish look, and coughed softly: "You made so much noise in the afternoon, you can't make trouble at night, and have a good sleep."

He pulled her to bed and they slept peacefully.

Ji Yan, however, kept pestering him and insisted on doing it again.

She loved it.
