1269, afternoon
- Throughout the morning, Ye Zhengming stayed in the study, staring at Ye Nuonuo copying books, and did not miss a word.
The door of the study was open, and Xiaoyu went to see it a few times in the name of serving tea, but she didn't see the opportunity to sneak in quietly and come out with pen and ink, which made another maid in the house see it and be suspicious.
Xiaoya didn't understand that Sister Xiaoyu had just eaten a board yesterday, and the injury on her skin was not healed. How can you be so active today. Although the master punished her, he brought medicine to take care of her injuries in the evening, and told her that she didn't have to do work today, but today Xiaoyu only went to the study several times in one morning, and sure enough, he was a person who was cultivated by the master himself, and he was extremely loyal!
In the face of Xiaoya's concern and doubts, Xiaoyu said a few perfunctory words on the surface, and sighed in her heart, it would be nice if Xiaoya could be a little more bold, and use her as an eye to help herself stare at the study. You don't have to run around with your injuries.
But Xiaoyu knows very well that this idea is just thinking about it. Don't talk about asking Xiaoya to help with this, even if it's just in front of her. It is estimated that with the master's strict order in front, she will be nervous and at a loss of words because she knows about it, and she will immediately stab this basket and spread it to everyone in the Ye Mansion, so let's just stop!
If Xiaoya knew that Xiaoyu seemed to be loyal and enthusiastic. In fact, she is just working hard for a small purpose in her own heart, I don't know how Xiaoya should feel?
After lunch, it was time for Ye Zhengming to take a lunch break. Yesterday, I worked hard for Mo Ye's treatment, and I spent a morning staring at my daughter copying books. After noon, he was indeed a little tired, and was finally willing to leave the study. I went back to the bedroom to rest.
Seeing the opportunity, Xiao Yu immediately slipped out of the backyard wing with Mo Ye.
Ye Zhengming has the habit of taking a lunch break, so the servants in the house have long been accustomed to the time period of his lunch break. Naturally, he reduced his activities in the prefecture. In addition to the doormen on duty, the actions of all the servants in the Ye Mansion have been deeply affected by Ye Zhengming's work and rest habits, so at this time, Xiao Yu took Mo Ye from the backyard to the front yard, and walked almost straight through the simple courtyard. but did not alarm the other servants of a house.
Of course, they were able to walk smoothly. Xiaoyu, a senior girl who is extremely familiar with Ye Mansion, is indispensable.
Standing in front of the door of the study, Mo Ye glanced at the door of the study. Then he whispered to Xiaoyu beside him, "Isn't it locked?" ”
Xiaoyu shook her head. After scanning the front yard for a while, she walked towards the door of the study, and at the same time told Mo Ye: "You just wait here, I will ...... soon" Xiaoyu didn't expect it. She wasn't done yet. Mo Ye had already followed in her footsteps. And she came to the door one step ahead of schedule.
"I was expecting the study to be nailed into a big cage." Mo Ye's one hand pressed against the door, without force, and the other hand rested on Xiao Yu's shoulder, which was one step behind her. But it added some strength, and there was a hidden intention to stop Xiaoyu from continuing to move forward, "Since the door is not locked, then I'd better go in personally." ”
"Didn't you say before, I'll help you get paper and ink, and you're out in the wind?" Xiao Yu's face was slightly surprised.
"It's always a bit wrong, isn't it? I'm not familiar with this place, how to do it for you. Mo Ye suddenly smiled, and the sly meaning in his smile grew, "Sister Nuno is really lucky to meet you." ”
"You're such a natural thief ship." Xiao Yu's eyes showed a look of sudden realization. Although she already knew that she had been deceived by Mo Yekeng, there was no sadness in her face, which may be related to the fact that she was usually deceived by Ye Nuo and became accustomed to natural factors. At the end, Xiaoyu sighed again: "Speaking of driving a thief ship, I think my young lady is already familiar with the helm, you go in, I only wish you good luck." ”
"I'll take your good words, thank you." Mo Ye waved her hand lightly at Xiaoyu, and before pushing the door in, she turned her head and admonished: "I suggest that you don't stand like this at the door all the time, in case Uncle Ye suddenly comes back, the three of us will be punished." ”
"If you don't stand here, how can I take care of the wind for you?" As soon as these words came out, Xiao Yu saw that Mo Ye had already pushed open a crack in the door of the study and took a step in. Xiao Yu seemed to remember something, and suddenly said, "Won't you come out immediately?" ”
When she finished saying this, Mo Ye had already entered the study, she only poked her head out of the door and looked at Xiaoyu, with a thoughtful look in her eyes, and after a while, she said: "Maybe I really got on Sister Nuo's thief ship as you expected, and I won't be able to get off for a while." ”
"Huh? You wait......"
Of course, Mo Ye didn't 'wait' for Xiaoyu.
With his hands behind his back, he closed the door of the study, and blocked Xiaoyu's word 'wait' out of the door, and Mo Ye saw that Ye Nuonuo, who was sitting behind the desk, had put down his pen and stood up.
"Sister Mo? Why are you here......" Ye Nuonuo glanced at Mo Ye, thought for a while, and then said, "I heard everything you said outside the door. Speaking of this, her face froze, but her eyes suddenly lit up, and she suddenly said, "Could it be that you are here to help me copy the book?" ”
Mo Ye coughed dryly and said, "Is it that even if a monkey comes into this study now, you have to try to ask it to see if it can help you copy the book?" ”
Ye Nuonuo was stunned, and then she laughed, and said with a bit of a scoundrel taste: "If it will, it will not be impossible!" But the problem is that it's not monkeys who come into the house now. ”
Mo Ye, who was slowly approaching the desk, suddenly quickened his pace, picked up a pen on the table with dried ink and knocked it on Ye Nuonuo's head.
Hanging the pen back on the pen holder, Mo Ye's gaze swept over the page of the notebook that Ye Nuonuo had already copied, and landed on the bookshelf beside him. Several pictures in the study room came into view, which made her suddenly think of the days when she used to copy notes in the library of the academy and practice calligraphy at that home in Xingjia Village. These days have not been long in coming, but at this time, she thinks of those pasts, and she has an illusion in her heart, as if that memory has almost been forgotten by herself.
Sweeping his gaze over the spine of the rows of books neatly placed on the shelves, Mo Ye suddenly said lightly: "It's just copying books." It's so easy, why always ask for people. ”
Ye Nuonuo pouted: "I'm not without skills, but what I'm good at is definitely not copying books." ”
Mo Ye stared intently at the bookshelf, glanced at the books placed on it, and just said casually when he heard this: "Then Uncle Ye's intention to ask you to copy the book is probably not the surface of copying the book, but to test your patience, and you should copy it honestly." ”
Ye Nuonuo noticed that from the moment Mo Ye entered the study, all her attention fell on the bookshelf, so Ye Nuonuo naturally followed her gaze. It soon became apparent that she seemed to be looking for something on the bookshelf. I didn't pay attention to what she was saying behind her.
Mo Ye felt that Ye Nuonuo suddenly became silent, and she briefly withdrew her gaze. Ye Nuono felt Mo Ye turn her gaze, and she naturally turned her gaze back from the bookshelf back to Mo Ye. Two girls of little age looked at each other across a desk, and they forgot to speak for a while.
In the end, it was Ye Nuonuo who spoke first. Asked suspiciously, "Sister Mo." What are you looking for? ”
Mo Ye stared at Ye Nono's gaze and froze. Just hesitated. She did not choose to hide it, and told Ye Nuono the truth about the codex she was looking for, but she did not explain the author and purpose of the codex. It was only to Yeno that she knew how important the codex was to her.
Knowing that the codex was something that Mo Ye carried personally, Ye Nuonuo quickly helped her find it. Although Ye Zhengming's study has a large collection of books, the codex is slightly narrower than ordinary books and very thin, so it is not easy to be confused with other books. The two girls worked together to scan all the books on the six shelves, and finally they were lucky enough to find it in the corner of the shelf.
Mo Ye took the codex from the bookshelf and put it on the table, Ye Nuonuo, who was standing beside her, thought that she was going to check whether the codex was wrong, but saw that she only turned to the last page of the codex, and suddenly the pages full of red and scribbled fonts came into view.
As the daughter of a physician, Yeno quickly recognized that the color was not ink, but blood, and she couldn't help but gasp.
Mo Ye also took a deep breath, but she was not surprised, but pondered something. After a while, she suddenly took the pen resting on the inkstone, and spread out a piece of paper, and then the pen in her hand danced.
She writes very quickly, dipping in ink, putting down the pen, and turning the pen, all of which are all in one go, quite a kind of calligraphy master's style. Ye Nuonuo stood aside and watched this scene, unconsciously slowing down his breathing by half a beat.
However, when she found that Mo Ye's writing was strange and she couldn't recognize any of them, her face, which was about to show shock and admiration, suddenly froze, and then her eyes slowly widened.
It didn't take too long, and Mo Ye's writing process, which couldn't tell whether it was crazy or ghostly, came to an end. Putting down the pen, she sighed softly and said, "Finally reassuring me." ”
Looking at Mo Ye and casually picked up the book on the table as a fan, fanning the handwriting on the spread of the paper that had not yet dried, Ye Nuonuo said in a daze: "What you wrote is ...... What? ”
"A lesson from the masters." It was expected that Ye Nuonuo would inevitably have some doubts, and Mo Ye had already devised a perfunctory excuse in his heart.
Ye Nuonuo then asked, "Can you be more careful?" ”
Mo Ye knew that she was not someone who could be dismissed by four words so easily, so she pretended to be silent for a moment before she said again: "This is a shorthand note, shorthand is just a few points of a sentence, but if you put it aside for too long and don't review it, I'm afraid I will forget its original content." ”
She put down the book that was a fan in her hand, stretched out her index finger and pressed it on a word on the paper, and when she saw that there was no ink on her fingertips, she slowly folded the paper and put it in her arms, and at the same time said, "This thing is important to me, but it is useless to you." ”
"Oh......" I felt that there was a hint of active concealment in Mo Ye's tone. Ye Nono groaned and did not ask any further. Although her naughty nature has not been curtailed much under the discipline of the female school, she is not a child who is completely unaware of respect for others.
It's just that then she saw Mo Ye put the 'very important codex' back on the shelf where she had just found it, and she immediately said, "Sister Mo, isn't that something you carried with you?" Why did you leave it here again? ”
Yesterday, when she was treating Mo Ye, Ye Nuonuo saw her father holding a thin booklet and reading it intently, so she inquired, so she knew that this booklet was Mo Ye's thing, and now she should take it back as a matter of course.
"I'm not going to copy the book for you, but I'm going to take it with me now. Didn't you tell Uncle Ye that someone ran into the study to help you copy the book? Mo Ye, who put the codex back, turned around and said at Ye Nuonuo: "Now it is estimated that no one dares to help you cheat." This kind of innocent sin should be careful, and if it can be avoided, it should be avoided. ”
"Oh......" After being slightly stunned, Ye Nuonuo nodded a little naively.
Mo Ye was going to say something encouraging to Yenono, but after much deliberation, she chose not to say anything. Go straight to the study layman.
However, when she reached the door and was about to reach for it, she suddenly heard an exclamation from behind her, and the hand she had just raised trembled.
"Slow!"
Mo Ye's body did not move, he only turned his face sideways to look at Ye Nuonuo, and his eyebrows converged. Didn't speak.
Ye Nuonuo strode over and asked word by word, "Where did you get the paper you used to write just now?" ”
"Naturally, I took it on the table." Mo Ye sensed the anxiety in Ye Nono's eyes, and she turned around. He asked again, "What's wrong?" ”
"Hurry, hurry!" Ye Nuonuo rubbed his hands and said hurriedly: "Take it out and let me see it." ”
Mo Ye saw that her anxious expression didn't look like she was pretending, so she quickly felt the piece of paper that she had folded and placed in her arms, but when she was about to unfold it, she hesitated again. said: "Let's talk about it first, you are not allowed to make it bad." Don't tear ......"
However, before she finished her words, and the paper folded into small squares had not yet been opened, she saw Ye Nuonuo pointing to the object in her hand and exclaimed again: "Ah, ah... My copybook ......"
Mo Ye unfolded the paper square, reversed it, and looked at the article on the paper, which was neatly arranged, but in fact the strokes were not very beautiful, and she couldn't help but be stunned: "It can't be so coincidental, right?" ”
At this moment, the door of the study suddenly squeaked softly, and the two girls in the room, each pregnant with a thief's heart, were so frightened that their bodies trembled, and they all rushed out of the door together.
The person who walked in outside the house was glared at by these two sharp eyes, and almost knocked over the tea in his hand.
