In the Qixia Courtyard, since the eldest lady came, the vigilance has been strengthened, and Yan Yiyao has not gone out to worship the Buddha in the room for five consecutive days until the sixth day. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Quietly stretched out her arm, Yan Yiyao walked out of the house lightly, the sun outside the house was warm and warm, although it was early winter, but at noon, it was still warm.

"Miss, do you want to go to the garden?"

Fu Liu took a cloak and draped it on Yan Yiyao's back, and suggested when he saw that the weather was fine.

"Okay, okay, let's go, Miss, the maple leaves in the backyard have turned yellow, but it's beautiful. ”

Green Willow happily agreed, Miss Lifo, she has to stay an inch, she has been suffocating to death for the past few days.

"Okay, let's go. ”

The three of them walked to enjoy the scenery on the side of the road, and Yan Yiyao admired the maple leaves in the back garden, as if attracted by the scenery around them, and walked towards the west casually.

Slowly, a simple courtyard appeared in my sight, and the roadside was just ordinary rocks and trees, and there was nothing to appreciate.

"Miss, that is the residence of the subordinates, let's go back the way we came. ”

Fuliu has been here a few times with Mrs. Miss, and is familiar with all parts of Qixia Courtyard, thinking that Miss is lost and going to the wrong place.

Who knew that Yan Yiyao didn't stop, and walked straight towards the residence, but her steps were still not in a hurry.

Fu Liu was puzzled, but he didn't ask much, only took two steps back and followed.

Green Willow looked at the small courtyard and then at his own young lady, and the wooden head had a flash of inspiration, "Miss, are you going to see that handsome homeless person, right?" I'm also a little worried about him, I don't know if he's okay, okay, we can do it." ”

Ahem......

Ahem......

Yan Yiyao paused, but immediately returned to normal and continued to move forward, but after listening to the latter sentence, she choked for a moment.

And the other sound was from the willow, she listened to the previous words, and felt that the green willow was a little confused, and was about to stop it, but after listening to the latter words, she realized that it was wrong.

"Miss, the last time you went out, did you come to Qixia Courtyard?"

Yan Yiyao glanced at the green willow, hummed lightly, and didn't say much.

Green Willow hurriedly covered her mouth and let go randomly, "Miss, I was wrong." Fuliu, can you tell Madame that we brought those snacks to my eldest brother last time. ”

Fu Liu looked at Yan Yiyao, who had already arrived at the door of the small courtyard in front, and pulled Lu Liu's hand, "I know, you don't need to tell me what Miss ordered." ”

The two of them took two steps and stood behind Yan Yiyao, who stopped at the gate of the small courtyard.

Midori was about to ask Miss why she didn't go in, but she was stopped by Whisk Willow and motioned her to look in.

I saw a young man kneeling in the garden, with some steamed buns and melons in front of him, and some yellow paper burned, as if he was sacrificing.

That direction is the direction of Lingji Temple, the young man was meticulous, respectful, and knocked three times before standing up,

The little guy standing beside him seemed to step forward to help him, but he pushed him away without a trace, turned around and walked into the house. After taking a few steps, he seemed to realize something, and turned his head to look.

When the little girl saw him stop, he also followed and looked over, and when he saw that it was his own young lady, he was overjoyed, and he was here.

Hurriedly walked quickly to Yan Yiyao and saluted, "The little monkey has seen Miss." ”

"Get up. ”

Yan Yiyao walked lightly past her lotus steps, walked in front of the young man, and bowed slightly.

"Can Childe move to talk?"

The young man looked at his room, this sentence was obviously not to enter the hut where he lived, but it didn't matter, anyway, it was all the Yan family.

"Okay, Miss, please lead the way. ”

The three people behind him were still surprised by their young lady's movements, but they were even more surprised when they heard this.

The young lady may also ask about provoking the homeless, but this young man is neither humble nor arrogant, he is polite in advance and retreat, and he looks like a poor and vulgar homeless.

Yan Yiyao was also very satisfied with this neat answer, with a smile on her face, she didn't say anything more and turned around and walked out.

When I passed by, I asked, "Your name is Little Monkey?"

This clever little guy's real name is Li Shan, but he is thin, but he is smart and clever, so he was nicknamed "Little Monkey". After calling it for a long time, the original name was forgotten.

The little monkey hurriedly stepped forward and kowtowed, "Yes, miss." What do you have to say?"

"Sure enough, it's smart. ”

Yan Yiyao said a word, did not continue, but asked the young man who followed behind: "Gongzi's surname?"

The young man hugged his fists and said, "Ren Haoxu." ”

"That's a good name. Yan Yiyao smiled lightly, and then said to the little monkey: "You will follow Ren Gongzi in the future, you willing." ”

The little monkey saw that the young lady didn't say the reason and asked him directly, so what did it mean, was it to test the young man or to test him? But he knew that the opportunity was fleeting, and although he had a little idea in his head, he was still not sure, should he take the risk?

Seeing that the young lady looked at herself, the two maids looked at the young lady, and the young man's eyelashes drooped, as if looking at the ground under his feet, he didn't have much fluctuation in the young lady who gave him himself, and suddenly made up his mind in his heart: "Miss, the little monkey is willing." ”

Yan Yiyao nodded, and suddenly said with a smile: "Look at me, you haven't asked what Childe means, is Childe willing to follow you?"

The eyes of the four of them were all fixed on the young man, to see how the young man answered.

The young man raised his eyelashes, his eyes were bright and transparent, but the bloodshot eyes and lightly pursed lips made his whole person look a little gloomy. "Miss, does the little monkey have a deed to stay at the Yan family?"

"Yes. Yan Yiyao only asked this one question, but did not mention the implicit inquiry.

The young man didn't care, and said to the little monkey who was still kneeling on the ground: "I'm just a homeless wanderer, and if you follow me, you will have to live a precarious life, sleeping in the open, you may bear it?"

"Yes. "Since the little monkey is blocked, you can't hesitate.

The boy stared at the little monkey's eyes and asked.

You follow me, I am your only master, you can't have two hearts, you can do it. ”

The little monkey looked at this gaze, his words were gentle, but inexplicably there was still a cold air, this time he didn't hesitate, and quickly kowtowed.

"Since the little monkey has decided to follow the son, the blessings and misfortunes are the will of heaven, and he will never do anything to carry the master, and he will share the glory and disgrace with the master. ”

The little monkey bowed respectfully three times before standing up. He stood behind the boy.

"Then please give me the deed of the little monkey, and I will thank you first. The boy bowed in thanks.

"Okay, Fuliu, you go to the chief steward and bring the little monkey's deed. Yan Yiyao smiled, didn't care about the young man's inch-inching move, and ordered Fu Liudao.

One of the two innocently gave away a small girl, and the other took it for granted, except that the little monkey was a little bit of a gambler, and even the willow who had always known a lot about the young lady was a little clueless.

He glanced at Lu Liu, saw her blank expression, deflated, answered yes, and turned to find the chief steward.

The four of them continued to move forward, and the direction they went to was the maple leaf forest before.

At this time, the position of the four people has changed, Yan Yiyao moved forward, the three subordinates followed, and the young man was at the end. Now Yan Yiyao and the boy are walking side by side, and the little monkey is following behind with the green willow.

This subtle change in the relationship between master and servant, Green Willow can't see it, but the little monkey can see it clearly. Secretly relieved, "The chief steward is right, if you are willing to give this young man a chance, he will definitely get ahead in the future." "It seems that I am at least half right this time.

The two people in front of them, with a casual posture, moved slowly, looked at the grass and trees on both sides, glanced at each other from time to time, but looked away very tacitly.

When he was about to arrive at the Maple Leaf Forest, Yan Yiyao said, "Does Childe know that the scenery in this courtyard is the best?"

The young man turned his gaze back, and basked lightly on the gentle eyes of Shangyan Yiyao, "Qixia Courtyard is built on the mountain, with many trees and few flowers, and most of them retain their original natural features. There is only one place that leads the spring water in the mountain with artificial traces, but the man is highly talented, and the water is diverted in the cracks of the mountain rocks, which is not natural but natural.

The hospital has a view to enjoy all year round.

Enjoy magnolia in spring, lotus in summer, maple leaves in autumn, and plum in the east.

At this time, it has just entered winter, and the plum blossoms have not yet bloomed, so I think there are only maple leaves for a look. ”

"Is there so much to appreciate? Why didn't I find out?" Green Willow muttered quietly, the little monkey tugged at her sleeve, trying to shut her up, the master spoke, what was her interjection?

He didn't know that this green willow interjection was interjected, and he didn't know what the sin was at all, seeing that his sleeve was caught, he frowned, and said loudly.

"What are you doing?"

The little monkey was frightened, and saw that the three of them stopped and looked at him, embarrassed, but his brain turned quickly, and he immediately remedied: "Sister Green Willow, you just hung a branch on your sleeve, and I used a lot of strength when I dragged it, I'm sorry." ”

Green Willow saw that there was indeed a thorn strip beside him, and his face turned red, "Well, thank you." ”

Yan Yiyao and the young man retracted their gaze and continued to move forward.

Yan Yiyao continued the topic just now, "Childe is really familiar with Qixia Courtyard, have you seen these places?"

After Yan Yiyao finished speaking, she saw the young man stop and look at her, and there was a little coolness in her eyes, but she didn't care, she just smiled at him, "Childe?"

The young man lowered his eyelashes and said silently, "I never left the small courtyard half a step during my recuperation. ”

"Then how do you know so much about Qixia Courtyard?" Lu Liu didn't believe it, and interjected again.

The little monkey already has a little understanding of the temperament of the second stunned green willow after the situation just now, but seeing that the young lady and the green willow are both suspicious of the young man, and he is now the young man's little servant, so he naturally has to protect his master.

"Miss, I said that Yu Gongzi listened, and Gongzi really didn't go out of the courtyard door. ”

Yan Yiyao was about to apologize for her suspicions, although she did it on purpose.

The young man looked down at the ground, looked up and smiled: "This is a fork in the road, you can enjoy the maple leaves under the tree when you go forward, but there is no place to rest; ”

Belch?

The three of them were stunned, didn't the young man bow his head in anger because he was suspicious just now?

"Then let's go to the gazebo, and the little monkey will make a pot of tea. After Yan Yiyao finished speaking, she saw that the little monkey didn't move, just stared at the young man, and suddenly realized it.

"I'm more and more lifted, green willow, you go!"

"Miss is too worried, the little monkey's deed has not yet reached my hands, at this time he is still a servant of the Yan family, and Miss can command it at will. ”

A nonchalant but polite look.

But for some reason, from the moment I saw the boy, he felt like a fog, obviously in front of him, but the emptiness of not being able to grasp the entity dissipated a lot.

Is this what he looks like a teenager? Pretending to be very generous, in fact, the tone is already annoyed, is this fresh!

Yan Yiyao didn't want to be hypocritical with him, "Little monkey, then you can go." ”

The little monkey felt that he was in a cold sweat on a cold day, this young man is not a good lord!

The three of them walked up slowly, and when there were still three zhang away from the pavilion, Yan Yiyao told Luliu to wait here, and he and Ren Gongzi had to say something alone.

Although the green willow wondered what the young lady had to talk about with the homeless people, she still obediently stopped.

Because of Yan Yiyao's arrival, the pavilion specially hung a thick tent around it to shield it from the wind and snow.

One stone table with four stone piers is very clean.

The two walked to the pavilion and stood opposite each other, staring at each other for a long time, and neither of them spoke first. Then he looked away at the maple leaf forest and quietly enjoyed the passage of time.

It wasn't until I heard footsteps that I looked where I came, and I saw that it was Green Willow coming over with a set of tea sets.

Seeing that both of them were looking at her, Lu Liu didn't feel that there was any problem, and complained after putting the tea set on the stone table, "That little monkey is too lazy to be ruthless, and he still finds an excuse to say that he is in a hurry, and he doesn't know where to run when he hands me the tea." ”

"Well, Green Willow has worked hard, you go and find him. Yan Yiyao looked at her funny.

"Okay, Miss gave him away, he is so lazy, I must teach him well. Midori walked away obediently and quickly.

When her figure disappeared, Yan Yiyao smiled and said, "This little monkey is very smart!"

The boy also smiled, "It's really good." ”

After that, the two fell silent again, but Yan Yiyao took the lead in breaking the deadlock, "Why did you save me." ”

The young man just stared at the scenery in front of him, and his mouth seemed to be self-deprecating: "If you want to save it, you can save it, how can there be so many whys? Am I a lowly homeless person, and I have to be interrogated to save people?"

Yan Yiyao stared at the young man's eyes fiercely, not missing the fleeting bitterness, and felt ashamed: "Childe, I didn't mean that." ”

"It doesn't matter if it's right or wrong, I'm about to leave anyway, and Miss doesn't have to think so hard. The boy gripped the railing of the gazebo, avoiding the guilty gaze.

"Where are you leaving?" Yan Yiyao was startled and stepped forward to grab the young man's arm.

The young man's body trembled, his eyes were inexplicable, and he looked down at the white palm that was clutching him.

Yan Yiyao hurriedly let go, flicked her sleeves, and bent down with a blessing, "Thank you for saving your life, Yiyao is here to officially thank you." ”

"No, I said that I was just improvising, and I did it after thinking about it, and it has nothing to do with Miss. ”

The young man still had no words, but Yan Yiyao seemed to understand the young man's temperament a little, so she no longer dwelled on this topic, and asked a different question:

"Haoxu, this name is good, like the name of a scholarly family, isn't the son from Handcheng?"

The young man stared at Yan Yiyao, saw her persistent gaze, and sighed helplessly, "Miss still doesn't believe me, no matter what, you can't say anything to others." ”

The young man moved his gaze to the west, his eyes were gloomy and sad: "My ancestral home is Handcheng, but my family is thin, and by the time my grandfather there was only one left, and my relatives and friends were far apart.

My grandfather bought and sold money, jumped into a well and died, and my father joined the army in order to support my grandmother, and gave my grandmother the money to guard the border in the western frontier, and I never came back.

My father bought a daughter-in-law in Xijiang, and when I gave birth, I sold my daughter-in-law again to save money to support me.

He always wanted to go back to Handcheng, but his little salary was not enough at all, so he had to save all of it to cultivate me and give me everything good.

When he was finally able to unload his armor and return to the field to take me back to Hancheng, he was entangled on the road but was stolen, and he went in a fit of rage, leaving me alone.

I climbed the mountain and waded back to Handcheng, and returned to the home where my father had been thinking about it for a long time, but there was no home for me here. ”
