The courtyard is deep in spring

Chapter 62 Ye Xiangwan Visits

"It's really stupid!" Mrs. Lin shook his head and sighed: "I don't have that fate, but I still have such delusions. If you really let you do this, you will regret it!"

Mrs. Lin sneered for a while, and said nothing more.

……

"So wine is such a delicious thing?" Under the opened west screen window, Lin Xirong picked up the glass cup in her hand and carefully looked at the clear liquid in the cup against the moonlight.

Perhaps it was because of her inability to drink, there were two blushes on her cheeks, she looked very pretty.

Ye Zhaoqing, who was sitting opposite her, said helplessly, "It's so delicious, why don't you drink half of the jar? Leave some for me too?" As he spoke, he reached out and grabbed the wine jar, and poured himself a glass.

Lin Xirong looked at her and immediately burst into laughter: "Zhaoqing, you have fallen too!"

"What is depravity?" Ye Zhaoqing took a sip from his wine glass and asked curiously.

"Hi..." Lin Xirong hiccupped and said with a smile: "The so-called ladies are usually quiet, dignified, elegant and graceful. You have to sit with a good posture and stand with a good posture, so it is not considered out of line. But Look at the two of us, are we sitting together? The most important thing is that we are drinking!"

"Tell me, is there any lady who doesn't sleep and drink in the middle of the night? Isn't this depraved?" Lin Xirong seemed to find it very funny, and she laughed before she finished speaking.

Ye Zhaoqing glanced at her, and also laughed: "Speaking of which, we really have fallen." As he spoke, he drank the wine in his glass in one gulp.

Lin Xirong reached out to fill it up for her and poured herself a glass. After laughing enough, she suddenly took a serious look at Ye Zhaoqing and said, "I know you will do what you said. After tomorrow, you must be If you want to leave, as a friend, I can't stop you. I want to ask, what are you going to do after you go out? If you need help, just ask, don't treat me as an outsider. "

Ye Zhaoqing laughed when he heard the words: "Look for a yard to live in for the time being! As for the plan, let's think about it slowly in the future!",

As she was speaking, she suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly took out two silver tickets from her pocket and said: "You lent me 1000 taels of silver back in Fengyang Tower that day. There have been a lot of things in the past few days and I almost forgot. Pay you back."

Lin Xirong hastily stretched out her hand to reject it: "Xirong, you're out of touch now, aren't you? In Sunrise Mansion, you still need a lot of money, so you can keep it!"

"Have you forgotten that Master Tai Tuo gave me a total of 10 taels of silver?" Ye Zhaoqing said with a smile, "I don't have to do anything with so much money, and I will have no worries about food and clothing. Take it!" Then, he forced it into Lin Xirong's hands.

Lin Xirong still refused: "Zhaoqing! What happened this time is that our family is sorry for you, so let me take the money as compensation, okay? If you don't accept it, I will feel very sad..."

"Then you have to accept it even more." After hearing this, Ye Zhaoqing looked up at Lin Xirong and said, "I never blamed you for that matter. What your mother did should not be repaid on you You give me these silvers, you feel at ease, but I will feel humiliated, and when I see it in the future, I will always think of that thing, do you understand?"

Lin Xirong felt a little guilty when she heard this: "Zhaoqing, I'm sorry, I didn't do it on purpose. I'll accept these banknotes." As she spoke, she put the banknotes that Ye Zhaoqing stuffed into her hand into her purse.

Only then did Ye Zhaoqing laugh: "That's right, brothers have to settle accounts clearly, and there will be no money disputes, so we can feel more at ease when we go out in the future."

Hearing these words, Lin Xirong suddenly remembered that Mrs. Lin had asked her about the bank notes a few days ago, and she had been prevaricated at that time. Now it seems that Ye Zhaoqing really had the foresight.

I'm afraid she doesn't want to fall into the trap in the future, right?
Lin Xirong suddenly thought, what if at a certain party in the future, her mother publicly told about Ye Zhaoqing's failure to repay the money he lent her to ridicule her, what would happen?
I'm afraid it will cause another storm.

Lin Xirong's heart trembled, and she immediately decided to take this bank note to see her mother tomorrow morning, and her grandfather and father had to testify.

When did she take precautions against her mother?

A trace of bitterness welled up in Lin Xirong's heart.If possible, she would rather never know these things.

……

Because the two drank too much, they both fell asleep early the next morning.

But it doesn't matter, what happened just now, both the Lin family and Ye Zhaoqing need to take it easy, at this time no one came to look for them, it's okay for them to just sleep a little longer.

But there was still a person who didn't know what to do and came to disturb him.

"These two pigs can really sleep!" When Li Yu came outside the Furong courtyard and heard the servant's report, he snorted coldly.

Murong Jin asked with a smile: "Liu'er, the two girls are usually not sleepy masters, did something else happen yesterday?"

"Returning to your son, our young lady and Miss Ye drank some wine last night." Liu'er said a little embarrassedly: "It's the first time for the two girls to drink alcohol, so they will inevitably get drunk. Please be considerate..."

"So that's how it is." Li Yu turned his head and glanced at Murong Jin, and said somewhat disinterestedly: "Come on, I don't need to look at the house today, my highness is not in the mood, go back to the palace!" After saying that, he turned around and left.

Murong Jin had no choice but to confess to Liu'er: "When your miss and Miss Ye wake up, send someone to Dingguo Mansion to report!" After finishing speaking, he went after Li Yu.

Liu'er looked at his back and said nothing.

To be honest, she didn't want to do what Murong Jin said.It's not a good thing for the two girls to sleep late, how can it spread to the ears of outsiders?

Obviously, because Murong Jin left in a hurry, she said the wrong thing.

Liu'er was not in a hurry, she wandered leisurely in the yard, planning to report the matter to the two girls in the evening.

But before nightfall, a major event happened in the mansion, Ye Zhaoqing had to be woken up.

The person who came was Madam Tian beside Mrs. Lin. She stood on the porch, bowed her head and reported respectfully: "The second young lady of Ningguo Hou's Mansion is sitting in the front hall right now. Madam asked her servants to invite Miss Ye to come over."

Ye Xiangwan?She is coming?
Ye Zhaoqing's drowsy mind woke up instantly, she got off the bed with only her underwear on, walked to the window and said, "Is it really my sister here?"

"Yes, Miss Ye." Nanny Tian said respectfully, "Madam said that she is not feeling well and it is inconvenient to welcome guests, so please forgive me for asking Miss Ye to go and receive Second Miss."

Not feeling well?Are you afraid you don't want to see yourself?

Ye Zhaoqing raised his eyebrows, not paying much attention to it.

What she paid most attention to was the sentence itself.

Ye Xiangwan actually came.

What to do?Please go back yourself?
It's ridiculous, I keep blowing wind in Mrs. Ye's ears, wishing that Ye Xiangwan is the one who dies of old age in the family temple and never returns home, okay?She would be so kind?

Ye Zhaoqing laughed mockingly in his heart, and then said loudly to Nanny Tian outside: "You go back first! I'll go to the front hall later."

"Yes, Miss Ye." Nanny Tian wished she could say that, she was overjoyed when she heard this, she responded and left in a hurry.

In the room, Ye Zhaoqing calmly called Liu'er and Ling'er in to help her dress up.

Lin Xirong was naturally disturbed by such a big commotion. She was taking a bath, she glanced at Ye Zhaoqing worriedly and said, "Zhaoqing, I'll accompany you to see her later. You, sister, seem to be uneasy and well-intentioned."

"How do you know?" Ye Zhaoqing, who was dressing up, glanced at Lin Xirong with great interest.

Ye Xiangwan has always been impeccable in his work, and will never be caught by anyone. No matter what happens in secret, at least he has always cared for her sister on the surface.This is why the servants of Ningguohou's mansion praised him highly.Even Ling'er always thought she was very good.

Ye Zhaoqing couldn't figure out how Lin Xirong discovered this.

"Does it need to be said? Back in the Jokhang Temple, when the eldest prince forced you to get the jade pendant from the tiger's cage, she only cared about hiding herself and didn't care about you at all." It's not to vent personal anger, although Ye Xiangwan told the truth in public that I was regretted by the First Prince. I just think that it is an extremely selfish person to ignore the danger of his relatives."

"At that time, I'm afraid it was too late for her to resent me." Thinking of what happened back then, Ye Zhaoqing couldn't help but smiled wryly, and said, "I didn't expect her to help me."

"Just don't expect it." Lin Xirong sat down on the side after washing, let the servant girl untie her temple hair, and said softly: "She came today, maybe she has some dirty thoughts, and you must do it later. Be careful."

"I know that." Ye Zhaoqing said with a slight smile.

She felt a little emotional in her heart, the only person in front of her could be so worried about herself now.

Liu'er's movements were very fast, and with Ling'er's help, the two girls finished cleaning up in a short time.

"Zhaoqing, I want to accompany you!" Lin Xirong said firmly.

Ye Zhaoqing glanced at her, sighed and said, "Alright, let's go together."

……

In the front hall, Ye Xiangwan was sitting upright at the carved pear flower table, looking down at the thin blue and white porcelain teacup in front of him in a daze.

She has been here for a quarter of an hour.

But her elder sister who is said to have been taken care of by the Lin family has not yet come, and the Lin family has no one who can take care of it, only a few maids, who served tea and then left.

This is an insult to her.

The dignified second lady of Ningguohou's Mansion, who is doted on in every possible way, is always the focus of attention wherever she goes, and she has never received such a cold reception!

good very good!

The corners of Ye Xiangwan's mouth curled up, revealing a faint smile.

It's just that the smile didn't reach his eyes.

If it wasn't her father, would she be willing to come?

Just when she was indignant, there was a sudden sound of footsteps in the yard.

coming!

Ye Xiangwan froze, raised her head very slowly and looked towards the door.

Through the wide-open carved door, she finally saw Ye Zhaoqing, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, coming out of the door with a calm face, followed by that damned Lin Xirong.

A whole month later, they met again.

And after this meeting, she will never be able to get rid of this slug, and she will reappear in her life with an extremely disgusting attitude.

Every day and every night.

This is maddening!

She just couldn't refuse.

Because that person is Ning Guohou, her father.

Ye Xiangwan couldn't help clenching his hands hidden in his sleeves, so tight that the tender flesh in his palm could feel the slightest pain from being scratched by nails.

And in this pain, she showed a very sweet smile: "Sister! You are willing to see me, sister!"

There was some small complaint in the tone, combined with the slightly angry expression, that appearance, full of eleven cute children who acted like a baby to their sister, combined with that beautiful face, no one would have the heart to let her disappointment.

However, Ye Zhaoqing seemed very calm. She dragged Lin Xirong, who was already sluggish, into the flower hall, and asked calmly, "Ah Wan, why are you here?"

"I miss my sister, so I came here..." Ye Xiang took a few steps forward at night, and said with a smile on his face, "How is my sister living here?"

"Really? It's been a month, and Miss Ye Er finally remembered that you have a sister!" Before Ye Zhaoqing could answer, Lin Xirong sarcastically said, "Sisters really love each other!"

Ye Xiangwan's eyes darkened, and he pressed his lips tightly. In the next moment, tears rolled down his face, and his tone was full of grievances: "It's not that I was cruel and didn't come to visit my sister, it's because my grandmother is sick. I'm seriously ill, I'm worried every day... I hope Miss Lin will forgive me."

Ye Zhaoqing really admired her, the tears came as soon as she said it, this is not something ordinary people can do!

Sure enough, Lin Xirong was a little dazed when she saw this scene.

Ye Zhaoqing said immediately: "Grandmother is very sick?"

"Yes!" Ye Xiangwan nodded and said, "Brother said he sent someone to deliver a letter to you..."

"I didn't receive the letter." Ye Zhaoqing lied openly.

Ye Xiangwan didn't expect her to say that, she couldn't help being taken aback for a moment, but then recovered: "I see! I'm afraid the messenger was lazy." As she spoke, she said with a worried look: "Sister , Grandma is really seriously ill, and the imperial doctors are all helpless, I heard that you once treated Mrs. Lin in the Jokhang Temple?"

Seeing her tentative appearance, Ye Zhaoqing couldn't help laughing in his heart, but his face was serious: "Strictly speaking, it's not considered."

"Oh? Why is that?" Ye Xiangwan's eyes lit up and he asked hurriedly.

Ye Zhaoqing glanced at her, at this moment, she saw clearly the cunning in this younger sister's eyes.

There was a sneer in her heart, but her face was calm: "At that time, Mrs. Lin suddenly fell ill in the Jokhang Temple, and the imperial physicians following him couldn't control the situation, and several imperial physicians in the capital were too late to arrive, so I I used the first aid method to wake up Mrs. Lin, and temporarily controlled the illness, and then the imperial physicians cured Mrs. Lin's illness. Speaking of which, my credit is not great, they are exaggerating."

"So it's like this..." Ye Xiangwan murmured.

There was a bit of relief in his expression.

Hearing this, Lin Xirong couldn't help snorting coldly: "Saving people is like putting out a fire. If Zhaoqing hadn't temporarily controlled the disease at that time, my grandfather would not have been able to wait for the arrival of several imperial physicians! She said that she saved my grandfather's life , that deserves its name!"

"Miss Lin is talking about..." Ye Xiangwan covered his mouth and smiled, but cast a sideways glance at Ye Zhaoqing, and said in a low voice, "Well, sister, sister Rong would like to ask, I don't know if you can do anything about grandma's condition... ..."

"I don't even know what disease my grandmother has, how can I cure it?" Ye Zhaoqing asked back.

Ye Xiangwan said sorry, and then said: "Grandmother is actually not seriously ill, but she suffered from a bit of qi a few days ago, and then caught a cold, and the stagnant qi stagnated in her chest cavity, and she coughed all day long. The sputum is bloodshot, and the imperial physicians in the imperial hospital are all helpless."

be bullied?

Are you upset that she shines in Fengyang Tower?

Ye Zhaoqing listened quietly, and when Ye Xiangwan finished speaking, she opened her mouth and said, "Even the imperial doctors can't help, so naturally I can't."

"It can't be cured?" Ye Xiangwan was a little dumbfounded: "It's about grandma, you didn't even go to see the pulse yourself, so you said you couldn't be cured?" As she spoke, she looked Ye Zhaoqing up and down, hesitated to speak : "Sister, let my sister speak more, are you resentful because of your grandmother's indifference to you before, so you refused to treat her..."

"You think too much." Ye Zhaoqing interrupted her, and said in a calm tone: "She is your grandmother and mine. Now she is in danger. I will cure her if there is any way! But didn't you say that? Even the imperial physicians in the imperial hospital are helpless, and I ask myself that the medical skills cannot be compared with it, even if I go to the Hou's mansion, it is just a waste of time. If I offend my grandmother at that time, wouldn't it be a sin?"

"For the present plan, I have to go to the Jokhang Temple again and copy scriptures and pray for my grandmother day and night, which is filial piety!"

Listening to Ye Zhaoqing's words, Ye Xiangwan was quite speechless.

But Ye Zhaoqing ignored her, stood up and said, "If my sister is free, I'd better go back and ask my father to find a doctor with excellent medical skills for my grandmother as soon as possible! Sister, I'm going to pack up my things and go to the Jokhang Temple to kneel and pray for blessings." Woolen cloth!"

"Sister!" Ye Xiangwan suddenly called out.

Ye Zhaoqing stopped and glanced at her, then politely said: "What else is there for my sister?"

"You...don't go back to see grandma?" Ye Xiangwan bit his lip and said, "Grandmother... misses you very much..."

Ye Zhaoqing laughed all of a sudden: "Grandmother hopes that I will stay in the temple forever and never come back. Speaking of which, I have also failed her kindness. I am going to atone for my sins in front of the Bodhisattva." Saying that, she turned and left. go.

Ye Xiangwan didn't expect Ye Zhaoqing to speak so ruthlessly, he didn't care about Lin Xirong who was standing beside him, and his face turned red involuntarily.

However, Lin Xirong didn't make any mockery, but said politely and distantly: "Second Miss Ye, please go back! I still have to send Zhaoqing to the Jokhang Temple. I'm very busy, so I won't accompany you."

Since Ye Zhaoqing had already left, it would be meaningless for him to stay any longer. Ye Xiangwan nodded immediately.

When things turned out like this, not only was she not disappointed at all, but she felt a little relieved.

Lin Xirong personally sent Ye Xiangwan to the gate of the house as a guest.

When she got into the carriage and was about to leave, Lin Xirong said in a cool tone, "You idiot, you only care about keeping Zhaoqing out, but you don't know that if your grandmother dies of illness and your father wants Ding You, you will have to pay him back within three years." Don't even think about getting married! You are still a princess, you just watch others fight!"

Ye Xiangwan took a breath, and flung open the curtain of the carriage.

But where is the shadow of Lin Xirong outside the carriage?
"Second Miss, do you want to go back to the Hou Mansion?" At this moment, the boy driving the carriage asked.

Ye Xiangwan regained her sanity in an instant, and she glanced at the tall lintel of the Lin Mansion with a complex expression. Behind the vermilion door, a light blue figure flashed past, it was Lin Xirong.

"I don't believe it! Without you, Ye Zhaoqing, no one in the world can save grandma!" Ye Xiangwan put down the curtain, and said with a grim expression, "You dare to play with me, hate it!"

"Second Miss..." the coachman called out again.

Ye Xiangwan immediately turned his head coldly: "Where are you going if you don't go back to the Marquis Mansion? Jokhang Temple?"

The little servant was startled, and hurriedly drove the carriage away, not daring to ask any more questions.

……

"She won't leave?"

There was a touch of sandalwood burning in Mrs. Lin's room. The inner room was dark and empty, with a faint smell of loneliness.

"Yes, ma'am." Tian Nanny knelt in the hall, not daring to raise her eyes to look at the person sitting on the brocade couch.

After a long time, a cold voice sounded.

"Miss Ye Er came to invite her, but didn't invite her away?"

"Yes, ma'am. The second miss Ye even said that Mrs. Ye is seriously ill, but the eldest miss Ye is still indifferent, and only pretends that she can't cure it."

There was an instant silence in the room.

Grandma Tian didn't dare to show her anger, she lowered her head and beat her heart desperately. Since that incident happened, her wife's status in the mansion has plummeted. These servants who hang out with Madam will not be able to live well in the future...

It's all that damn Miss Ye!What a scourge!Wherever you go, you will be harmed!
My wife's temper has not been good for the past two days, and they must be careful as servants...

I don't know how long it took before Mrs. Lin, who was sitting at the top, said quietly, "I didn't expect her to be so thick-skinned. This is due to the Lin family's refusal to leave..."

"But ma'am, I heard that the reason why Second Miss Ye came to the door was because Mrs. Ye was ill!" Nanny Tian quickly raised her eyes and said, "Can we make some articles on this..."

"No need!" Mrs. Lin interrupted her coldly: "The Ye family may not be able to tolerate her, but it doesn't need to dirty my hands! Just wait and see! It won't be long before this matter will spread all over the street Alley..."

"Madam is wise!" After hearing this, Tian Nai immediately showed admiration on her face.

But Mrs. Lin waved her hand and ordered her to retreat: "Go down! Don't meddle in the affairs over there, and report to me at any time."

"Yes, ma'am."

Tian Nanny responded and was about to leave.

But at this moment, Mrs. Lin suddenly said again: "Where is Young Madam now?"

"Returning to my wife, I have already entered Huai Mansion through Dengzhou, and it is only three or two days away from the capital."

"Two or three days left?" Mrs. Lin muttered to herself.
