Ye Tingyao noticed Miss Lian's visiting, turned her head and said politely, "Thank you, Miss Lian San, for being willing to post with me." ”

"If you want to thank me, thank my second brother, he begged me to make a post." Lian San was a little shorter than Ye Tingyao, so he half-tilted his head to look at Ye Tingyao, Ye Tingyao was indeed born well, no wonder he was fascinated by the second brother.

Ye Tingyao's father is a fifth-grade official in the court after all, and he is in the Ministry of Officials, and he is also a good person, since Ye Tingyao is very likely to be her sister-in-law in the future, she doesn't mind selling face, "You call me Lian Xin, the third miss, the third miss is too rusty, sooner or later we will be from the same house." ”

Ye Tingyao smiled awkwardly and didn't answer, Lian Xin knew at a glance that she was also a spoiled young lady, hoping that it would not be as bad as Ye Ruyi.

Although Lian Xin posted with her, she was like most of the official ladies in the capital, because her father's official position was not high enough, and he was transferred to Beijing from Lianzhou County, so he didn't look down on her very much.

There was a slight rustling sound of leaves touching above his head, and Ye Tingyao raised his head and glanced at it casually, as if a shadow had jumped past.

Ye Tingyao retracted her gaze, the dark guard Yan Tuo sent by Lu Tianqi was very responsible, and followed her all the way to Lianfu to protect her.

"Master, master, be careful, don't let Miss Ye find out." Ning Han nervously held Lu Tianqi, when Ye Tingyao raised his head, he was scared into a cold sweat, although the master's martial arts are high, he is not from a secret guard, he has nothing to do to make a little movement, he can't be as silent as him, Ning Han touched his forehead and told the master not to come, so he refused to listen to persuasion.

Lu Tianqi frowned, pointed to Lian Xin's back and said angrily, "What is that guy talking nonsense, why do you say that Ye Tingyao and her will be in the same house sooner or later?" Where did she get her confidence. ”

"Master, this has nothing to do with self-confidence or not! You'd be quieter. Ning Han felt that taking Lu Tianqi was much harder and more stressful than going out on a mission alone.

Moreover, Ning Han felt that even the third lady didn't say anything wrong, if the master didn't even mind and be dissatisfied with this little thing. should be decisive to snatch love, and he can't even see it when he drags and procrastinates.

Lian Bohan and Ye Chen stopped about a foot away from Ye Tingyao, stood in place and waited for Ye Tingyao and Lian Xin, waiting for the two to approach. Lian Bohan said with a smile, "Today, my father will return home from the public office after noon, if Ye Gongzi and Miss Ye don't dislike it, please have lunch in the mansion, and wait for my father to return home." I can ask my father about the Rong family. ”

Ye Tingyao looked at Ye Chen, and said with a smile on her chin, "I'm really disturbing you today." ”

Lian Bohan invited the two to the inner hall of the South Courtyard, and in order to pass the time to avoid embarrassment, Lian Bohan instructed the maid to send Go and books, and invited Ye Chen to play together.

Lian Bohan has been playing chess since elementary school, and although his schoolwork has not improved, his Go skills are remarkable.

Lian Bohan wanted to show his hand in front of Ye Tingyao, show his strengths, and win Ye Tingyao's favor.

"I don't know if Brother Chen has studied Go. If we have nothing to do, we might as well play a small game. Lian Bohan opened the chess urn and smiled at Ye Chen.

Ye Chen was stunned for a moment, and said slightly embarrassed, "I'm really sorry, I don't know how to play chess." ”

Lian Bohan was quite surprised, there were officials in the Great Zhou Dynasty who couldn't play chess, and his heart was probably not that Ye Chen couldn't play chess, but that he was not good at chess, and he was worried about losing to him. That's understandable.

Lian Bohan didn't embarrass Ye Chen, he only closed the chess urn again, "Hehe, it's okay." I also got a few interesting folk miscellaneous books a few days ago, I don't know if Brother Chen is interested, we can discuss one or two together. ”

After that, Lian Bohan ordered the maid to withdraw the chessboard aside, picked up a blue-bound scroll and asked.

Ye Tingyao, who was sitting in another place drinking tea with Miss Lian San, looked at Ye Chen nervously, Ye Chen only officially studied with Xixi next month, and she only occasionally taught her brother some simple poems and songs these days. Therefore, Ye Chen can only recognize the words, and it is impossible for him to read books by himself.

Ye Chen looked at the dark blue cover of the scroll in a daze, he could barely recognize the word 'township' and the word 'talk' on it, Ye Chen felt his mouth dry, and took a sip of tea.

Ye Tingyao was about to get up to relieve Ye Chen, but Ye Chen put down the tea bowl and said truthfully, "I am not literate for the time being, so I can't read with Lian Gongzi, which disappoints Lian Gongzi, but I will have a west seat next month, and I will ask Lian Gongzi for more advice in the future." ”

"What, you're sixteen years old and you can't read." Lian Bohan didn't speak, and Miss Lian San exclaimed first, and the gaze mixed with surprise and disdain burned Ye Chen's face hot.

"Lian Xin, don't be rude." Lian Bohan snorted.

Lian Xin pouted and said, "Why are you murdering me, it's very strange, Ye Gongzi is the eldest son of Ye Mansion, shouldn't he be the same as your brother, he went to school at the age of five." It's been more than ten years, and if you don't get motivated, you can't memorize the Four Books and Five Classics, and you should be literate. Lian Xin glanced at Ye Chen a few times as she spoke, she was almost confused by Ye Chen's appearance, she looked tall, handsome and elegant, she didn't want it to be an embroidered pillow with a bag of grass, and she was blind who couldn't even read big characters.

Ye Chen shrank his hand, pinched the silver buckle on his sleeve wrist, and the hatred for the Cao family in his heart was even worse, and the afterglow that secretly glanced at Lian Xin also brought resentment.

Lian Bohan stood up and glared at Lian Xin, "Ye Gongzi is a distinguished guest in our house, how can you be so rude, have you learned those etiquettes in vain, when your father comes back and knows about it, see how he punishes you." After that, Lian Bohan hurriedly apologized to Ye Chen, "Brother Chen, Lian Xin has been spoiled since she was a child, she can only talk nonsense, and please don't take it to heart Brother Chen." ”

Ye Tingyao stepped forward and took Ye Chen's hand, and bowed slightly to Lian Bohan, "My brother's body has been ...... before"

"Okay, sister, you don't have to hide anything," Ye Chen interrupted Ye Tingyao, looked up at Lian Xin, and then at Lian Bohan, "I think that even Gongzi and Miss Lian also know about the early death of our mother-in-law, and now the lady in charge of the Ye Mansion is our stepmother, and she gave birth to her own son, so when I was in Lianzhou County, I didn't have the opportunity to go to the academy at all, and no one invited Xixi for me, until I met a noble person in Beijing, and the situation of Yaoyao and I changed." ”

Lian Bohan sighed, Lian Xin pursed her lips and questioned, "But I heard that Miss Ye is very good at painting, and after my brother returned home, he praised Miss Ye's amazing painting skills. ”

Ye Tingyao smiled faintly, of course she couldn't embarrass her brother, "Let Miss Lian laugh, my brother was abandoned, and I was called by my stepmother as a girl, I had to make tea for my stepmother every day, and by chance I learned the art of ordering tea, and the skill of painting was comprehended from the art of ordering tea." ”

"It turns out that Miss Ye can also order tea, which is really admirable," Lian Bohan's gaze at Ye Tingyao became even more intense, "I just don't know who the noble person Ye Gongzi and Miss Ye met after entering Beijing?" (To be continued.) )
