What Ye Tianqing saw when he went to the main courtyard today cannot be compared with yesterday.

Before she reached the gate of the main courtyard, the little maid guarding the door saw her, and after saluting them from a distance, she stood at the door and waited.

When she entered the courtyard, Sister-in-law Lin happened to come out of it, and someone else should have reported to her.

Then I looked around the main courtyard, and I saw that all the maids and servants were busy with their own affairs, some were tidying up their things, some were wiping tables and sweeping the floor, some were pruning and weeding in the flower beds, and in short, no one was lazy.

Ye Tianqing looked around and explained all the things that the old lady told to prepare, in fact, even if the old lady didn't take care of these things, the people in the main courtyard knew how to do it, so Ye Tianqing didn't stay in the main courtyard for long, but just said a few words to Sister-in-law Lin again and then took Ye Tianyou back to Tianqing Pavilion together.

"Fourth sister, let Mother Tang tell the kitchen to do whatever you want to eat, but there is nothing fun here for the third sister, the most is books, or you can find a few books to read by yourself, or practice a few pages of big characters." Ye Tianqing didn't change her plan because of Ye Tianyou's arrival, so she let her move on her own.

"Okay, third sister, I know you have been reading and writing very hard recently, my mother knows and let me learn from you, today is just the right time to see the third sister's collection of books, if you can, my sister still wants to borrow a few books to go back and see it." Ye Tianyou was not only not dissatisfied when he heard this, but also said happily.

"Of course, as long as you want to read it, it's okay to move all the books here." Ye Tianqing smiled and touched her flushed face and said.

"Okay, third sister, you're busy with you, I'll just find it myself." Ye Tianyou grinned and avoided her hand. As he spoke, he ran to the bookshelf.

An hour later, the two sisters finally walked out of the Xinuan Pavilion. Talking and laughing, they called their respective maids and walked out.

"Third sister, do you really want to take me out?" Ye Tianyou tilted his head. Overjoyed, he looked at Ye Tianqing and asked.

"yes, but at most you can only walk around the neighborhood, nothing fun, do you want to go too?" Ye Tianqing nodded with a smile.

"Of course I'm willing, as long as I'm with my third sister, even if it's just walking around the house, I like it." When Ye Tianyou heard the affirmative reply, he immediately said with a smile without seeing his teeth.

"Then let's go quickly, it's too late to walk far and we'll have to come back for lunch." Ye Tianqing took Ye Tianyou's hand and walked out as she spoke.

Although it is just walking around, there are also people with heads and faces in Lingfeng City. But out of the gate of Ye Mansion, it is possible to be seen by outsiders, so Ye Tianqing still put on his hat.

The two sisters held hands and walked for a quarter of an hour before walking out of the gate of the Ye Mansion, and the porter who guarded the door heard that the two of them were going out, and did not ask too much, so he immediately nodded and opened the door for them.

It happened that the chief of the guard in the house was also in the gatehouse, and when he saw it, he also stepped forward to ask if he wanted to send two guards to follow.

"No, we'll be back soon." Ye Tianqing rejected the kindness of the chief of the guard. Pulled Ye Tianyou out of the gate of the Ye Mansion.

Actually, she really wanted the captain of the guard to go with her, but after thinking about it, forget it, she herself saw the same.

The purpose of leaving the house today is actually very simple. It's to go to the place where the thief might have left last night, and take advantage of the situation to take a closer look at the surrounding environment.

Put yourself in your shoes and think about why the thief chose that place. And how to avoid the eyes and ears of other people in the alley, and how to leave along the way. It would be nice to know where he was most likely to hide.

"Third sister, I've never walked down this alley. Why is it so narrow, you can't even walk in a carriage. Walking in the alley outside the house, Ye Tianyou asked curiously.

"Of course, this is just a gap between the two families, usually we go in and out of the official road, of course you can't walk through."

"Third sister, I don't realize that I live in it, it turns out that our Ye Mansion is so big, it's been nearly half an hour, why haven't you walked to the main gate yet?" After all, it's just an eight-year-old girl, along the way, in addition to looking at her own courtyard wall, it is someone else's courtyard wall, if she hadn't boasted about Haikou when she went out, maybe she would have turned back a long time ago.

"Don't worry, I'll be back at the main gate soon, if the fourth sister is tired, do you want to let Huang Li carry you for a while?" Looking at the fourth sister's red little face and the beads of sweat faintly on her forehead, Ye Tianqing said distressedly.

"I don't want it, it's so big, if people see it, they will definitely be laughed at." When Ye Tianyou heard this, he immediately shook his head like a rattle and said.

"Okay, the third sister knows that my fourth sister is an adult, so she doesn't need to be carried, but the third sister is also tired, why don't we go to the corner in front of us to rest here?" Actually, for Ye Tianqing now, she doesn't feel anything at all when she walks like this, but in order to take care of Ye Tianyou, she decided to take a break first.

Because, in the corner she said, there were a few stone chairs, and I don't know if they were placed there by my own family or by my neighbors.

And as long as you sit there, you can not only see the alley they are walking, but also the gate of Ye Mansion, which is a good observation point.

Maybe these stone chairs were for the guards in the palace? Ye Tianqing secretly guessed in her heart.

"Okay, then the third sister, let's go and sit on the stone chair." Ye Tianyou heard that she was also tired, and immediately pulled her towards the stone chair. As soon as the maid with whom the two of them heard that the young lady was going to sit down, she quickly stepped forward, took out a handkerchief, and wiped the dust on the stone chair.

Walking around the outer courtyard of the entire Ye Mansion, and taking a closer look at the surrounding buildings, Ye Tianqing's heart roughly had a bottom, and he also knew the reason why the thief chose to leave in that place.

Because, the courtyard wall of that place is just in the middle of the north-south direction, the courtyard walls on both sides are very high, the alley is narrow, and the light in the alley is very dim, whether it is from the south or from the north to the alley, as long as the clothes on the body are worn a little deeper, and the person is close to the wall, then the people outside the alley will not be able to see it really.

It's still the day when the sun is good, and if it's night, it's even more difficult to see, and if you have the opportunity to sneak into the alley, then there's nothing surprising to sneak over the courtyard wall and into the house.

After resting for a while, the two sisters walked back to Tianqing Pavilion in one breath, and sat down on the chair tiredly and didn't want to move, but they were still pulled by Ye Tianqing before they got up to freshen up and eat.

Xu had walked a lot, or he had a special appetite for eating with Ye Tianqing, Ye Tianyou ate twice as much food as usual before putting down his chopsticks.

And after today's investigation, Ye Tianqing also has a plan in his heart. (To be continued.) )
