Ruanjiaobao was forced to marry by Lord Hou again

Chapter 3
In the early morning of the next day, Ye Lingwu was curled up on the bed, sleeping in the dark, when there was a knock on the door suddenly.

"Miss Lingwu, it's time to get up."

Mother Xuan's voice.

Ye Lingwu lifted her heavy eyelids, it was still dark outside the window.

In Daiyue Town, she was used to being carefree, so Ye Lingwu couldn't wake up at this point, so she turned over and continued to sleep.

There was no response for a long time, and Mother Xuan became a little anxious, knocking on the door harder and harder.

"Miss Lingwu, it's about time, you have to get up!"

In the end, Mother Xuan shouted until her voice was almost hoarse, and Ye Lingwu opened the door wearing a big cloak, with the undiminished sleepiness on her face, which made Mother Xuan very angry.

After breakfast, Ye Lingwu knelt and sat obediently in front of the tea table, watching Madam Xuan slowly handling the teacup.

"What time does Miss Lingwu get up on weekdays?" Mother Xuan poured out a cup of tea and handed it over.

Ye Lingwu took it with both hands, and replied: "There is nothing wrong with looking for the sun, it happens every hour or so."

Mother Xuan frowned, shook her head and said, "It seems that the Ye family really didn't teach you any etiquette... I wonder what books Miss Lingwu has read?"

"Book?" Ye Lingwu slightly raised her eyes, her eyes were dazed, and her two mouths seemed to be glued together.

He was thrown to Qingquan Temple at the age of seven, picked up by Song Qian at the age of nine, and it has been eight years since he was 14 this year.

She can read and write thanks to the good teaching of the nun who recited scriptures.

During those years following Song Qian, I planted vegetables in the fields, fished in the rivers, shot arrows and hunted, cooked and washed clothes...

I can learn everything, but I have never touched the things in the books.

Ye Lingwu lowered her eyes and said lightly: "I haven't read a book."

Mother Xuan was not surprised by the answer, and asked again: "What about the red girl?"

"Neither."

A bit of disappointment appeared on Xuanma's face.

After a while, she cleared her throat and said seriously: "It doesn't matter, the key to whether you live a good life or not is whether you like it or not."

Ye Lingwu frowned slightly, and said blankly: "Is it likable?"

Mother Xuan said: "Miss Lingwu will serve at the old lady Shen's side when she enters the gate of Hou's mansion in the future. If old lady Shen likes you, it is not a bad idea to let you study with Miss Hou."

"Is what Mammy said true?" Ye Lingwu's eyes lit up.

Mother Xuan smiled and said: "Although that is the case, the capital is not Yuzhou, Ningbeihou's mansion is not Ye's family, and the people and things we meet are not the same."

After finishing speaking, she picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, and continued: "As the founding father of the Ningbei Hou Mansion, Mrs. Shen has been fighting with the old Hou Ye for many years. If you are lazy in bed at Maoshi, in the eyes of the old lady, you are lazy."

Ye Lingwu was dumbfounded.

Knowing that what Xuanma said is teaching her.

The waves were flat and the boat was steady, but the southward wind bulged the sails fat, and the five-day journey was soon over half.

The afterglow of the sun sprinkled on the sea surface, and the dark waves on the bottom of the sea rushed to the water surface, and the originally stable building boat suddenly became noisy.

Ye Lingwu and Rongxiu Tanchun pushed open the door curiously, there was a lot of noise inside the building, the guards were searching the rooms on the lower floors one by one, and there were many people standing in the corridors on each floor.

On the side, there happened to be a couple discussing.

The man said: "Master Fan is also in this building boat. If I had known about it, I would have paid a visit."

The woman gouged him out, and said: "You still want to visit, people are impatient, brought back to the capital from Yuzhou, and the thousand-year-old ginseng worth 1000 taels of gold was unknowingly stolen. Everyone on this floor has to be searched by the guards of the building."

"I'll do the search, anyway, it's not you and me who did it." The man looked like he had nothing to do with himself, and looked high.

Ye Lingwu followed the man's gaze, and saw a middle-aged man in brocade clothes and mink fur standing in the corridor outside the "No. [-]" room opposite.

He watched the commotion below, his face was expressionless, and there was even some preoccupation in his brows and eyes.

"It turned out to be Master Fan from the capital, no wonder there was such a big battle." Tan Chun suddenly understood.

Ye Lingwu frowned and said, "Do you know that Master Fan?"

Tanchun was taken aback when he heard the words, covered his mouth and snickered, "Miss Lingwu has really stayed in Yuzhou for a long time, and she doesn't even know about Master Fan Kunfan."

"..." Ye Lingwu pursed her lips and remained silent.

Rongxiu coughed lightly, reminding Tanchun to pay attention to his words, and then explained: "Master Fan is a well-known wealthy businessman in my dynasty. He is as rich as a country, and we have heard of it when we live in the capital."

Ye Lingwu nodded sadly, but when she lowered her head, she saw the man in black standing in the corridor on the fourth floor last night.

Among the noisy building boats, there was silence.

Behind him stood a strong man in black brocade, with his chest upright and his hands behind his back.

Ye Lingwu was surprised, and recalled the words she heard on the deck last night, and instinctively told her that there was a lot of mystery in this theft.

"You don't stay in the house, but join in the fun." A very serious voice suddenly came from behind.

Rongxiu and Tanchun quickly lowered their heads when they saw Nanny Xuan came out.Tanchun took a peek at Ye Lingwu, who was also at a loss, and said, "Don't blame Mother Xuan, we came out with Miss Lingwu."

Ye Lingwu suddenly raised her eyes and looked at Tanchun, what does it matter to her?
Grandma Xuan was indifferent.Naturally, she wouldn't blame Ye Lingwu, and after talking lightly to the two little maids, she led the three of them into the house.

It was night quietly, but there was still no silence outside.

Ye Lingwu sat in front of the table and practiced calligraphy unhurriedly, with the intention of calming down, but it got worse after writing.

The words I heard last night kept flashing through my mind.

The black-clothed man had an extraordinary appearance and a mysterious identity. If Fan Kun smuggled him and he tracked him down, he was at least an official.

There are hundreds of people in the Louchuan, and Fan Kun suddenly made such a big battle, then he must know that someone in the Louchuan is investigating him, so he used the loss of valuables as an excuse to control the Louchuan, and took the opportunity to find out and investigate him. people.

Let the boatman and Fan Kun search.

Who is that masked man in black clothes?
Ye Lingwu glanced at the closed door, shook her head and continued writing.

These have nothing to do with her. In the current situation, that person may only return without success.

At this moment, the outer door was suddenly knocked loudly, Ye Lingwu got up and was about to open the door to check, but there was a creak, and the sound of messy footsteps poured in.

"...You guys, be careful, we are from Ningbei Hou Mansion!"

In the outer hall, Tanchun uttered angrily.

"Our master has lost his treasure, even if you are from Ningbeihoufu, you still have to search."

These little servants didn't pay attention to the girl in front of them at all, and their appearance was no different from that of local ruffians.

Provoking Tanchun to say angrily: "Bah! It's just a mere merchant, dare to provoke the nobles of the dynasty, why not?"

"Why are you talking so much nonsense, search her!" Another boy said.

"You...you dare..." Tanchun's tone became flustered.

Inside the house, Ye Lingwu saw through the screen window that the group of servants had gathered around her, and she couldn't hold back her anger. Just as she was about to open the door to argue, she heard the voice of Mother Xuan from outside——

"Wait!"

Four or five young men stopped their movements and turned their heads in unison to look, only to see an old nanny with chicken skin and white hair open the door.

"You guys are so bold. It's okay to ignore the Ningbeihou's house, and even dare to openly insult the innocence of your daughter's family. I want to meet your master and ask why this is so!"

After finishing the words, Madam Xuan passed the young servants and walked out, but the group of young servants were so frightened that they hurriedly stopped her.

One person came out to smooth things over: "Nurse has something to say, don't blame them for being ignorant."

Knowing that they have hit a hard nail, the boys' faces turned serious, and they nodded in agreement: "Don't blame me, mother, since you are from Ningbei Houfu, there is no need to search this house."

"That's right, let's close the door and leave now, Mammy, please go to bed earlier."

Mother Xuan looked down upon them and remained silent.

Tanchun rolled his eyes, and said reluctantly: "People are afraid of being unreasonable, and dogs are afraid of pinching their tails. They know that they are not easy to provoke, so they keep a low voice."

The faces of the servants were ugly, but they didn't dare to get angry. Tanchun spat at a few more people before telling him to "get out".
