"It's late, rest early."

As when he came just now, Wu Shu hung in the window like a spider and appeared in front of Mo Ye's eyes. He looked at Mo Ye's frightened appearance, but there was a calm tone in his voice.

Mo Ye took a deep breath to calm his mind, and then asked, "Why haven't you gone back yet?" ”

"I'll always be here tonight." Wu Shu's voice paused slightly, and then added: "Doctor Ye is worried that the medicine he gave you during the day will conflict with the prescription of Liao Shipei that you take at night, so he told me to guard you for one night. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he didn't linger at the window any longer, and his figure disappeared from the bottom up.

Seeing the path Wu Shu left, it was not difficult for Mo Ye to imagine that he should have gone to the roof. He had not closed the window as he had done when he had left this time, as he had done, to remind her of this, and to warn her to heed advice tonight.

Mo Ye had no choice but to close the window and obediently climb back to the bed, pull the quilt and lie down. Even though she still couldn't sleep, she forced herself to close her eyes. In the darkness, her hand under the quilt took out the small box, and with the touch of the skin of her fingertips, she examined it thoroughly.

In the endless darkness, Mo Ye's mind naturally appeared a lot of images of the past. When she remembered Master's method of opening his long flat box, she suddenly felt that she could imitate it and test the little box.

But she didn't know that she had underestimated the structure of this small box from the first time she had this idea, because this thing was the latest result of the research and development of the second team mastered by Lin Shan.

Although the second group has mastered the manufacturing technology of this item, the difficulty of this achievement lies in the preciousness of its materials, and all the members of the second group have only made two of them, and the small box owned by Wu Shu is one of the two. Moreover, the reason why such a precious thing can be owned by Wu Shu is because Wu Shu will use it to play an important role, which is why Wu Shu must take it back. The reason why it will definitely not be given to Mo Ye.

As Wu Shu said, even if this thing is owned by Mo Ye, with her current ability, she will not be able to maximize its effect. Children have a big heart to play, but adults pay more attention to the use value of objects.

So without any suspense, Mo Ye groped for the small box with his eyes closed for most of the night, and finally found nothing, and fell asleep in a trance in the second half of the night.

Wu Shu, who was sitting on the roof, felt that the slight sound of rustling finally quieted down under a tiled roof, and he reached out to uncover a tile. Look inside the house. Seeing Mo Ye's sleeping face, he exhaled softly, took out a small note from his sleeve and threw it from the vacancy opened by the tile. I saw the small note slowly fall next to Mo Ye's pillow. Wu Shu put the tiles back up, yawned softly, and then slid off the roof, disappearing into the darkness of the alley.

Early the next morning, Mo Ye woke up in shock.

She remembered figuring out where the box would start last night. Unexpectedly, I fell asleep without paying attention. When she woke up, it was already dawn, she suddenly sat up, and was glad to find that the small box was still in her hand, and Wu Shu did not quietly take it while she was asleep. However, the contents of the small note resting on the pillow proved that Wu Shu had indeed returned to this room in the second half of the night when she was asleep.

"A true gentleman." Mo Ye said in his heart. Her sleepiness suddenly dissipated.

Unconsciously, Mo Ye developed a little more friendliness towards this young man whose face was so ugly that it could be described as terrifying. However, she couldn't understand that he had given up his best chance to retrieve the little box last night. The main reason has little to do with morality, and most of it is due to the style of action cultivated by the special profession he has been engaged in for a long time.

Wu Shu will definitely get his things back, but the practice of stealing them back is not his style. And in his eyes, judging from Mo Ye's ability, he can't be regarded as a qualified opponent. Of course, there is no possibility that he will have to use extraordinary means.

Mo Ye got out of bed and pushed the door out, looking around the courtyard. The sunlight has been able to fall into the backyard, but the whole courtyard is still a calm scene, only a young man who looks like a domestic servant is holding a bamboo broom, and his head is bowed and he is carefully sweeping the fallen leaves on the ground in the backyard.

Could it be that the whole Ye family is used to getting up late? Mo Ye thought with a slight feeling of wonder in his heart.

There are not many servants in the Ye Mansion, so if there is any incident in the house, there is no need to detour about it, and the news is basically a straight line between the subordinate and the head of the family. The young maid who swept the floor knew Mo Ye's origin, and when he saw her out of the house, he hurriedly approached and said respectfully, "Has Miss Mo rested yet?" The little one will go and inform the master. ”

Mo Ye was slightly surprised when he saw that the other party was not a stranger to him. She has only lived here for a day and a night, and this Ye Mansion has no longer had a strange attitude towards herself, from the master of the house to the servant, which makes her naturally feel warm. Although Dr. Ye and Wu Shu are old friends, and it seems that the friendship is not shallow, for himself, he is just a passerby in Pingshui after all, but seeing his family style like this, he can't help but feel admired.

Mo Ye smiled and nodded, "I'm tired of you." ”

"Where, wait a minute." Even if you are a subordinate, you want to be treated kindly, and the kindness you return can be more sincere. The young servant's face showed a touch of kindness, and he turned and went to the front yard.

The young servant soon returned, but he did not call the head of the Ye Mansion, and with him was the maid Xiaoyu who served Ye Nuonuo closely.

Xiao Yu beckoned the young man to leave, and Tong Guò talked to Xiao Yu for a few words, and Mo Ye knew that everyone in the Ye Mansion had already gotten up. At this time, Ye Zhengming was supervising Ye Nuonuo in the study to copy books, because he wanted not to wake her up who was still resting, so he deliberately reduced the servants' activities in the backyard.

In fact, it was not that Ye Fu got up late, but that they got up too early, and they became the one who got up late, so they had the illusion.

Seeing that Mo Ye was in good spirits, Xiaoyu did not persuade her to go back and continue to stay in bed, but she did not talk to her much. She turned around and went to the kitchen, and soon took a porridge dish that had been warm in the steaming bucket and came back, serving Mo Ye to eat it in the backyard recuperation.

Drinking porridge slowly, Mo Ye remembered what Xiaoyu had just said about copying books, and recalled that when he met Ye Nuonuo during the day yesterday, Ye Nuonuo mentioned that he was found after escaping from the girls' school over the wall and was almost severely punished. She glanced at the sunlight spilling into the courtyard outside the house, and suddenly said, "It's still early at this time, and you're in a hurry to copy a book just after breakfast?" I'm afraid it's not as simple as practicing calligraphy, it should be one of Miss Ye's punishments, right? ”

Xiaoyu sighed and said, "I really can't hide it from you, it's indeed the master who is punishing Miss." The young lady was reluctant to stay in the women's school, and the master was only willing to punish her in this way. ”

"Female school?" Mo Ye lowered her eyes and thought about it, she had read books about women's studies in the library of the academy before, so she quickly raised her eyebrows and said, "It's just a place where etiquette and acupuncture are taught, what can make Miss Ye so afraid?" ”

"This ...... It's hard to put into words. Xiaoyu wanted to speak and stopped, "After all, her personality is not very compatible with the girls in the women's school." ”

Mo Ye pondered what Xiao Yu said, and then nodded slowly.

After two exchanges yesterday, Mo Ye probably knew what the situation was in Ye Nuonuo's family.

Ye's mother died of illness a long time ago, and Ye Nuonuo didn't have many impressions and memories of her. In the process of growing up, Yenuono lived with her father and had early contact with medical textbooks, which made her grow into a boyish personality and a habit of often using insects and small animals as pets.

Such a child stays in the middle of a group of ladies who have received a virtuous education since childhood, and it is really easy to have problems.

She may occasionally spit foul language, and some strangely colored and multi-legged insects may crawl out of her embroidery box, which is really scary in the eyes of ordinary girls, but this is also the key reason why Ye Zhengming threw her into the girls' school.

From the perspective of Ye Zhengming, a father's thinking about problems, although there are some deviations in the education of children, this has not shaken his goal of teaching his daughter to be a good child and lady, so that she can become a virtuous wife and live a happy life until she gets married.

However, at this time, Mo Ye had a faint premonition that Ye Nuonuo would probably not be able to grow into a virtuous woman. Maybe as she gets older, her personality can become more calm, but there are some things in her personality that are not so easy to change. Just like herself, I'm afraid it will be difficult to pick up a needle and thread and learn to be a girl from scratch.

So what can I do if I am a daughter, and I don't have a needle in my hand, but with these hands that are a little shorter than a man's hands?

Xiao Yu looked at Mo Ye unconsciously stunned, the wooden spoon in her hand was in the porridge bowl, she didn't move for a long time, she couldn't help but remind Mo Ye to come back to her senses.

Mo Ye took a sip of porridge without knowing the taste, and suddenly said with a smile: "Let's go see her later!" ”

Xiao Yu was slightly stunned, and then kept waving her hand, and said: "This can't be helped, the master knows that the young lady is likely to find someone to help her copy, so he gave an order early this morning that no one is allowed to enter the study." ”

Mo Ye asked suspiciously: "She can still find someone to help her copy the book, can't Uncle Ye recognize the handwriting?" ”

Xiao Yu's face was embarrassed when she heard this, and she said, "Naturally, it's my fault." Last time, when Miss copied a book, I couldn't even take care of eating for a day and a night, and I couldn't bear it, so I learned to imitate her handwriting......"

Mo Ye stared at her, and then she laughed loudly and said casually: "You were deceived by her bitter tricks. In short, I wouldn't believe that a person who is tired of female schoolwork, in order to relax his mood, has even done an extremely good job of skipping school over the wall, can still be so harsh on himself in his own home. It's not that she was imprisoned, where would she not be able to eat, but she thought that only you dared to help her cheat because she felt sorry for her. ”
