- "Well, it's not bad, right?" Shi Yi tilted his shoulders and sat cross-legged across from the low desk in a very casual posture. His left hand was bent on the side of the desk, his palm was spread upwards to support half of his face, and his right hand was playing with a white chess piece on the low desk, while chatting casually with Mo Ye, who was sitting opposite.

The bamboo building that opens and closes on all sides, only a few misty silk silks as thin as cicada wings are hung on the beams, although they are half lowered when the afternoon sun looms power, but it does not affect the outward vision of the people in the bamboo building. However, if the people in the courtyards on all sides of the bamboo building look into the building, the silhouette of the people in the building will become blurred because of the light angle.

This is a characteristic building in Seifukan.

As a service provider for the pleasure of the guests, the pavilion can only perform in the courtyard outside the building before the guests are called to enter the building. At this time, the guests can carefully choose their favorite Yulang in the building, but the Yulang who performs outside the building cannot watch the guests' feelings. In this way, most of the guests who are women can be conservative and reserved, and the performance of Yulang in the museum will not be biased because of the difference in the faces of the guests.

However, despite this visual block, Mo Ye, who was suddenly brought to the Qingfeng Pavilion by Shi Yi without knowing it, still felt uncomfortable, and had a sense of panic that he couldn't walk or sit. You know, this is a men's pet hall!

So, in the face of Shi Yi's questioning in a tone that seemed to be enjoying himself, Mo Ye was not interested, and covered the embarrassed expression on his face by holding his forehead, and said with a slight knot: "You want to bring me here, why don't you say hello in advance?" ”

Shi Yi's gaze drooped slightly, and the focus seemed to be still fixed on the chess pieces on the low case, and when he heard this, he only smiled and said, "If you say hello in advance, you may not agree at all." ”

Shi Yi's words did hit Mo Ye's mind, but Mo Ye did not deliberately hide it, and muttered to admit it.

After a period of embarrassment because of the first entry into the male pet hall, Mo Ye gradually calmed down part of his mood. While watching Shi Yi use white chess pieces to make a circle on the low table, he asked slowly: "This trip to Qingfeng Pavilion is considered as a guest for you, since you have all sat down." I don't think about walking away anymore. It's just that you have to tell me what you invited me here for, right? Don't say it's for fun, I can't afford to play this way. ”

This is indeed a big truth, Mo Ye is just a half-grown girl who has never even held the hand of a strange man, frolicking with male pets? This kind of play Mo Ye really can't afford to accompany.

Mo Ye said so bluntly, and he also hoped that Shi Yi would explain his intention quickly, but when he arrived at this point, the words still circled around his lips, and he smiled casually: "I want to know the reason why I brought you here?" Then you have to remember it first. Do you still remember the Yan family's young master Kuo who lost money in Dongfeng Tower? ”

"But it was just a little over a month ago, and of course I remember it. But ......" Mo Ye sighed lightly, grabbed a handful of black chess pieces, and pressed a few pieces randomly on the circle that Shi Yi placed on the low table with white chess pieces, and said lightly: "Between the two." And what does it matter? ”

"Yes." Shi Yi glanced up at Mo Ye, then continued to bow his head and pose with chess pieces, and said slowly: "Yan Yu lost three thousand taels in Dongfeng Building, and Dongfeng Building closed down the next day, everyone spent Yan Yu's silver to travel, so unhappy......"

"Oh!" Shi Yi was only halfway through his words, when Mo Ye suddenly remembered something. said with a smile: "You told me about this a long time ago, that day you were dressed up by several aunts as 'showy', and you went around outside for a day, until you mixed into the Yulang Pavilion, no one recognized you, hahaha." Mo Ye's words came later. Then there was a burst of laughter.

"Look at you, you think I'm funny again, don't you?" This time it was Shi Yi's turn to look embarrassed, his hand fiddling with the chess pieces froze, coughed dryly, and then said, "Just make fun of you like this." I think it's necessary to find another opportunity to lure you to another Gyokuro Pavilion to open your eyes. You know, in comparison, the Seifukan is enough water. ”

Mo Ye gradually suppressed his laughter, and said with a smile: "It's just a joke, don't take it too seriously." ”

"Can you not be serious? It's about my reputation. Shi Yi immediately retorted, and then muttered to add: "I will have to mix in the business community in Kyoto in the future, if that matter spreads, I will be swept away." ”

"Hey, it's happened, no matter what you say, you can't change it, you can only treat it as a childhood farce."

Although Shi Yi's words were so, Mo Ye thought of Shi Yi pretending to be a woman, sweeping her eyebrows and lips, and walking with a pleated skirt, she still couldn't help but want to laugh, but she couldn't help but laugh. Forced to restrain to no avail, Mo Ye had to reach out again to support his forehead, blocking the smile in his eyes, and deliberately hoarse in a guttural voice in order to appear stern and said slowly: "Okay, I won't say anything today, just accompany you." ”

"That's the right thing." Shi Yi nodded, and then moved again in his hand, landing the last few white chess pieces in his palm.

Mo Ye looked at the figure of the white chess pieces on the table, this figure Shi Yi had also used things such as petals, leaves, and stones to pose before, and explained in Shi Yi's words, this is a simplified face expression. Despite this prophet, she still had a hint of doubt in her eyes when she looked at the smiling expression on the face of the chess piece.

She didn't think for too long before she said bluntly: "Although I have decided that I plan to play here with you today, you can't really just play chess pieces, right?" This kind of small game can be played in any venue, so why waste money in Qingfukan. It's been delayed for so long, what is going on, there is no need to hide it anymore, right? ”

……

Ye Masa's residence is located in a secluded alley southeast of Kyoto, and the architectural nature of this urban area is also dominated by small individual residences. Just after midnight, when Kyoto residents generally start making lunch, smoke rises from the chimneys on the top of the kitchens of the small houses lined up in the city. Some of the living habits of ordinary people formed by ordinary people's ordinary lives are as if they have been trained in military discipline.

Therefore, when the time was taken at this hour as the pen fun pavilion www.biquge.info an hour and a half was pushed back, and every family had finished their lunch, and most of them were taking a nap during the nap, in the chimney phalanx that had quieted down, a thin wisp of smoke slowly rose from the chimney of Ye Zhengming's kitchen, which looked a little abrupt...... And a little lonely.

But in this lazy afternoon, I'm afraid few people will pay attention to this anomaly!

For the servants in Yefu, the time to cook is advanced or delayed. It's not a big deal. This is already the norm in Ye Mansion in normal times, not to mention that there are guests here today.

It's just that the guests who came here today are so strange. There are guests with unfamiliar faces, and this is not a strange place for people to visit. What made the few servants of the Ye Mansion so strange that they couldn't help but talk a few words was the extremely ugly face of the guest.

There was also a servant woman who was in charge of washing in the house. As soon as he saw the sick child brought by the strange-faced guest, her appearance was somewhat similar to the portrait of the woman hanging in the small ancestral hall at the end of the Ye Mansion.

However, the servant's words were only a person's uncertain speculation, but the strange appearance of the ugly young man's face was obvious to all, and the comparison between these two passages made it easy to ignore the servant's reasoning.

In fact, if you seriously investigate the inference of this servant woman, it can really be regarded as a major incident in Ye Zhengming's family!

However, ordinary people are accustomed to concentrating most of their attention on the most conspicuous brilliance of things, and there is not even a single servant in the palace who knows the origin of the portrait, so naturally no one has any basis to pursue this vague discovery. This matter is naturally omitted with great lightness.

There is a maid in the house who has received a family training today. That girl is usually very valued by the master, but today she was punished very badly, and the sound of screaming when she was punished spread throughout the Ye Mansion.

However, although the subordinates sympathized with the girl, it did not affect their loyalty and respect for the head of the family. The servants of the Yakushi's family are a little different from the servants in the ordinary mansion. They all need to have a certain ability to defend right and wrong, and they are more united, and the mistake that girl made this time is indeed the punishment.

Although the lunch time was delayed, the servants in the house were very discerning and had the right time, when Ye Nuonuo, who was covered in sweat, finished bathing and had just come out of the bathroom. The news from the kitchen that the meal was ready also arrived.

The warm water washed away the sweat stains on his body, and the clothes that were half soaked with sweat have been replaced. The tense body is soothed by the hot water, and the dry clothes that have just been changed into naturally exude a fresh smell of honey locust, and the smell is refreshing.

However, there was always a taut string in Yenuo's heart that could not be relaxed.

Out of the bathroom. After greeting the servant who was waiting at the door, she did not immediately go to the hall to eat, but went straight to her father's bedroom.

Walking slowly on the gravel path, a ray of sunlight fell on her head and shoulders, and she suddenly felt a slight bitterness in her mouth.

She walked straight into her father's bedroom. But as she stepped through the door, she paused timidly, and then she walked up again to the inner room. It wasn't until she walked to her father's bedside that she stopped and crouched down.

Squatting close to her father's face, she stared at his face for a long time. When she could see the abnormal pale of his lips on his face, the crow's feet at the corners of his eyes and the fine lines like fishing nets on his face, her eyes were filled with tears unconsciously.

She had just intended to come to see her father quietly, and never disturb his father's rest, but when tears just slipped from her eyes, warmth slid across her face. She couldn't help but sob.

Ye Nuonuo subconsciously quickly bit her lip and raised her hand to cover her mouth, but her half-uncontrollable sobbing still woke up her father.

Ye Zhengming slowly opened his eyes, "It's Nuo'er." After saying this, he breathed a sigh of relief.

He had just opened his eyes when he was dazzled by the meridian sunlight shining in from outside the open door, and the brightness of the sunlight reminded him of the time of day. After squinting slightly, he said softly: "It's noon, has the servant in the back kitchen cooked?" ”

Yeno nodded and did not speak.

"When the meal is ready, you will eat." Ye Zhengming didn't ask again, only said this short sentence, and then kowtowed his eyelids again.

Seeing this, Ye Nuonuo hurriedly asked, "Isn't my father going to have lunch?" The kitchen servant came and shouted just now. The meal is ready. ”

Ye Zhengming opened his eyes again and said softly: "You go eat, now you have to grow your body." I can't miss a meal, so it's okay for me to eat later. ”

"I can't eat it." Ye Nuonuo lowered his head, and his voice was out of tune.

Ye Zhengming could hear the suppressed sobbing in his daughter's tone when she spoke. When Ye Nuonuo lowered his eyes, two large tears rolled down, which were also seen by him. He would have had something to say. But I couldn't really say it.

He slowly sat up from the bed, and the injury he had just received from the palm he was slapped by Wu Shu was involved, which made him frown. Slowly breathed a long sigh of relief, calming the tearing pain in his chest and abdomen. Only then did he say gently: "If what happened just now scares you, you must tell me." ”

Ye Nuonuo slowly raised his head and looked up slightly at his father who sat up. She pursed her lips and said in a slightly trembling voice, "No'er has never seen her father like this. ”

Ye Zhengming's eyes moved when he heard this. But he didn't say anything right away. Just raised his hand resting on the outside of the bed. Yeno understood, stood up and sat down on the edge of the bed, pressing his father's shoulder. Because she was so close, she could smell the slightly fishy smell of the dried bits of red on her father's placket, and her heart couldn't help but tremble again.

Ye Zhengming stretched out his left hand. Slipping through her daughter's back and putting it on her left shoulder, he tightened her grip a bit. Then he said softly: "My father is very confident in his medical skills, you are my daughter, and you should not have to doubt it, so there is no need to be afraid of anything." ”

Yeno nodded, but she quickly shook her head again. Turning his face to look at his father, he said with a puzzled expression: "My father has to diagnose many patients every day, if my father needs to treat more than one patient in this way, then does my father always have to do this, and how can my daughter not worry?" ”

"I see what you mean." Ye Zhengming raised his hand and gently rubbed his daughter's hair. Then he smiled and said, "That injured girl is different from other patients, and for her, I have a reason to save her." ”

"What reason?" Ye Nuonuo blurted out and asked, and the expression on his face became serious.

Ye Zhengming also looked at his daughter very seriously, and said word by word: "I won't sue you for this reason now, I need to wait for you to grow up a little more, and I will tell you at that time." You can understand. ”

"Oh......" Ye Nuonuo lowered his eyebrows and thought for a moment, and suddenly remembered something, and said: "When I saw my father meet that strange-faced uncle, it seems that I have known him for a long time, and it is not for this reason that I ......"

"You're not entirely right, but it's a bit of a hit." About the matter. Ye Zhengming only said one sentence and closed his mouth. After stopping the topic a little stiffly, he let go of the hand on his daughter's shoulder, lifted the thin quilt and got out of bed, and said, "I'd better accompany you to dinner." ”

"Okay." A smile finally appeared on Ye Nono's face, and she jumped off the edge of the bed. He quickly took off a robe hanging from the shelf next to the bed, handed it to his father, and then went out of the house with him.

Mo Ye's side had already sent two meals to him, but he didn't know if Mo Ye could eat at this moment. Despite this, Wu Shu still stayed by Mo Ye's bedside and dined with Ye's father and daughter in the front hall. He only asked the servant who had sent the meal to come back and bring a message to Ye Zhengming, saying that he wanted to guard Mo Ye, so he didn't come.

Regarding Wu Shu's verbal reason for not coming to the front hall, in fact, Ye Zhengming had another idea in his heart, he guessed that Wu Shu was worried that his face would affect everyone's appetite, and he could not care, but Wu Shu did not forget that Ye Nuonuo was still a child. Regarding this point, no matter how uncertain it is, Ye Zhengming will be grateful to Wu Shu here.

This ill-fated man, the slightest tenderness in his heart has always been there.

At the dinner table, Ye Zhengming asked his daughter how she met Wu Shu and Mo Ye, and how she thought of bringing strangers home.

This time, Ye Nuonuo didn't dare to deceive any more, and said everything truthfully, even some of the little Jiujiu in her heart didn't hide a word. Fortunately, this time my father didn't get angry much, in his words, it was a physical discord, and he didn't have the strength to get angry. Despite this, Yeno shivered in front of his father's reward at the dinner table.

What Yeno remembers most clearly during the meal was not the taste of the food, but the pain left on her forehead by her father's fingers, and the two sighs that her father muttered to himself.

One sighs "fate", and the other sighs "providence".

Ye Nuonuo could feel full of confusion about his father's behavior of repeatedly sighing these two words several times in a confused expression, but his father was unwilling to explain a word to her.

After lunch, my father did not immediately go back to bed and lie down, but moved a chair and sat in the backyard.

This house is a rare one in the Higashi District of Kyoto, it is a house that sits on the east and faces west, and it can be regarded as facing away from the gate of the East Castle. When he first moved into this house, Ye Zhengming asked people to modify its structure slightly, so that this house almost has two sides, yin and yang.

When the sun rises in the morning, the first thing the sun shines on is the bedroom area where the owner of the back house rests. Under the prompting of this natural light, even Ye Nuonuo, who is a child's heart, does not have the habit of sleeping in bed.

In the afternoon, when the sun sets in the west, the main hall and the study are filled with sunlight. The sun makes it less difficult for Ye Zhengming to feel sleepy when he reads in the study in the afternoon, and whenever the hot summer comes, the west sun that can make the walls of the whole house hot will not burn the back house, and when he rests at night, the back house bedroom can also be cooler.
