When the evening came, there was a sudden commotion in the back garden. Hua Chengyan sat on the chairman, listening to the shrill shouts of the servants, and the lid of the cup in her hand fell deliberately gently, as if she didn't want to add a little more sound to this farce.

She apologized to everyone and went to the back garden in charity.

When I asked, I realized that it had hit a big incident.

Her father's most precious jade wrench was lost. And the thief was conclusive, reported his name, and left a word in ink: "This time it's me-Guanyike." ”

The people locked the door and busied themselves with the fires everywhere, trying to shine the light out of this daring thief. The servants were commanded to go about in the garden, and the noise was incessant.

Hua Chengyan listened to the ins and outs of the whole thing, and immediately sent the housekeeper to open the doors everywhere, and asked him to send an order to warn the servants not to panic, and only assigned to carry out a general investigation, and each group of people held a group of small fireworks in their hands.

The housekeeper was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, and his speech was incoherent: "Miss, this door can't be opened." The master will return to the house tomorrow, if he knows that the wrench is not there, or is stolen by that, the Guanyike, I will never be able to explain. What's more, if someone takes the name of the thief and wants to take advantage of this opportunity to stir up trouble, or is blinded by lard and greedy for money, this has to be locked and arrested, and the rest of the matter will be easy to deal with. As soon as the news leaked and no one caught it, didn't our Huaguo Mansion become a joke again. ”

Hua Chengyan asked the maid for the handkerchief she brought, and handed it to the housekeeper to wipe her sweat. She spoke unhurriedly: "Uncle Liu, do you know who is sitting at today's banquet." The children of the official family of one product and two products abound, the young lady of the second and second sons of the left and right attended the meeting safely, the second prince of the dynasty, the only prince around the emperor at present, these people, which one, is at the mercy of my Huaguo Mansion at will. I have a banquet today, and there are countless eyes staring at me in secret. You close the door for half a pillar of incense, and it is convenient to make up for it, saying that it is a change of guards, and if you close it a little longer, I am afraid that the door of this courtyard will be broken by iron horses. When the time comes, it will never be as simple as throwing a small wrench and being laughed at by others. So don't be confused and open the door quickly. None of the guards that Yuan An protected by the young ladies were not allowed to be adjusted, and they had to be protected more tightly. and the keepers of the treasury are not allowed to change them, so that they must not be thrown into trouble. For the rest who can go, send a few to the courtyard to look around, and the rest bury outside the door and watch to see if there are any suspicious people. I've also heard of the name of the Guanyike, and if he really stole it, no matter how much we make trouble tonight, it will be difficult to get the wrench back. When Daddy arrives tomorrow, I'll explain it to him. Go ahead and arrange it. ”

After hearing this, the housekeeper broke out in a cold sweat on his back, pinched the handkerchief and ran out, busy with people arranging.

Hua Chengyan sat still and asked the maid to invite Xiang Ye and Jian Yunyu over.

By the time the two of them arrived, the two main seats on the upper seat had been vacated, and Hua Chengyan sat quietly on the chair on the lower left. When he saw them, he stood up again and saluted, and motioned with his hand for them to take their seats.

Jian Yunzhen nodded, and wanted to pull Xiang Ye up with him, but Xiang Ye avoided him sideways and sat opposite Hua Chengyan.

Jian Yunqi didn't say anything, just sat on the right main seat closer to Xiang Ye.

Hua Chengyan spoke: "Today is really the Hua family's poor hospitality, and halfway through the banquet, I have to disturb the two distinguished guests." ”

Xiang Ye asked: "Sister Hua, what happened, just came all the way, and the servants were in such a hurry?" ”

Hua Chengyan spread out the white paper on her side, and there were a few elegant calligraphy words on it: "This time it's me-Guanyike." ”

As soon as Jian Yunqi saw the word, he couldn't help but have a big head, he couldn't help coughing, and seeing that the two of them didn't look at him, he hurriedly took a sip of the tea at hand.

Xiang Ye was taken aback when he saw the paper: "What's going on?" ”

Hua Chengyan briefly explained the situation for her, and Xiang Ye asked: "The lost items are valuable, do you need to ask the yamen to investigate?" ”

Hua Chengyan said: "It's not a big baby, he can't steal the biggest treasure in this courtyard." ”

Xiang Ye nodded.

Jian Yunzhen said: "Miss Hua doesn't need to worry too much, if there is anything you need help in the future, tell Ye Ye yes." ”

Hua Chengyan said: "The two of you are really a fairy couple. I have not been strict in discipline, and I have caused thieves to break into my house and disturb everyone's peace, and you not only blame me first, but also think about how to help me. It's really compassionate. ”

Xiang Ye said: "Test his heart with my heart, that's all." ”

Jian Yunqi looked at Xiang Ye and smiled, but did not speak.

Hua Chengyan looked at the two of them and ordered someone to come up to renew the tea, and the topic changed along the way.

After drinking two more, it's almost time.

Xiang Ye first said goodbye, went out of the small door, and after a while, he parted ways with Jian Yunzhen and went to find Dong Di to go back to the house.

I searched around the table, but I couldn't find where she was. The subordinates in Washington led her to the garden, saying that they saw Miss Dong swinging in by herself with wine. Xiang Ye was busy taking people to find it.

After some tossing, I finally saw Dong Di sitting on the stone steps in front of the door of a small house.

Xiang Ye sent the maids to stand farther away and wait, and he carried a small lantern to poke over.

As soon as the light stabbed Dong Di's eyes, she squeezed a few closes, squinted slightly and glimpsed Xiang Ye, so she pulled her to sit down.

Xiang Ye's clothes were torn and slipped, and her sleeves were also dragged by her, she said: "You will find a place, people have abandoned warehouses for several years, and the pests don't know how to settle here, you first bake at the door to drink." ”

Dong Di grinned after hearing this, stupid, and there were a lot of wine stains sprinkled on his collar.

Xiang Ye wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, and helped her comb the broken hair on her forehead, and said to her: "Is your head heavy, open your eyes and wake up for a while, I will ask you to go home." ”

Dong Di suddenly played a child's temper, held her with both hands, shook his head and squeezed her shoulders.

Xiang Ye gently touched her head and gave her relief.

Dong Di made a fuss for a while, and suddenly said: "Blame him for being too good, blame him for being too good." ”

Xiang Ye listened in a trance, approached her, and asked softly, "What?" ”

Dong Di's voice was much louder: "It's all his fault!" Blame him for being too good, blame him for being too sensible, blame him for knowing too much! ”

Xiang Ye heard it clearly, and he knew what was going on. This was not the first time she had heard these words from Dong Di's mouth. When animals lick their wounds, most of them will hide, hide in the dark, and quietly wipe their tears. And Dong Di is different, she never cries, but complains in a sad tone every time she is drunk. Where the sad passage goes, everything is a wasteland. Over the years, back and forth, just two sentences. Although Xiang Ye had a guess in his heart, he never asked her when she was awake, who is the person you are reading. She never mentioned how desolate the voice of the child who had left out the happiness was so desolate. She just hugged her when she was complaining, and persuaded her when she was drunk, although it was obviously futile, but in Xiang Ye's opinion, it was the gentlest way to deal with it after seeing other people's scars.

She never thought that there needed to be no secrets between two people. Absolute honesty is reserved for two blank sheets of paper or two fools, and she understood at a very young age that everyone has an impermeable place in their hearts, like the desert in the northwest quietly hidden in a corner of the continent for a long time and desolate. A person's past is like a family history table, and she obviously doesn't want to be the fool examiner who holds the table with a cold face and is selfless, she believes in the extension of life and the resilience of life. No matter how dark the place is, there are eyes after all. The eyes are full of black, and when they come back, they are naturally bright. She understands that what really matters is who Dong Di is now and what he looks like. There is a tacit understanding between them that is different from others, just as Dong Di has never asked her a word about the past, and those things that make her equally unwilling to bother to mention them.

Xiang Ye grabbed her messy hair, and said softly: "Ah Yan, it's not your fault, it will all pass." I recently heard that the little son of the Jiang family was born very handsome, and he must be a good match for you. The senior brother of the Lancang faction is also very sincere, and he has always been very sincere to you, so you can try to let go of your guard and get along with others. There are also all kinds of little generals, change Ming'er, I will let Jian Yunzhen draw the roster for you to choose. There are also a lot of decent sons who read, and the knights are also very good. You see, Ah Yan, in addition to that very good person, there are many people in the world who are very good. Try to embarrass yourself a little less and see the good of others. Well? ”

Dong Di leaned on her shoulder, panting evenly with his eyes closed, and did not reply.

Xiang Ye touched her head and said, "Even if you don't like those people, it's good to find one you like." The peach blossoms on the shore are blooming all over the capital, and if you look at it a little, you will find a difference. ”

Dong Di breathed a long time, and it was time to fall asleep.

Xiang Ye also stopped talking, and sat quietly with her around for a while.

None of them knew that on the roof of the abandoned warehouse there was a thief who stole wine and stole his fingers.

The thief bent his legs, listening to the girl below, unable to tell whether it was good or bad tonight.
