Chapter 628: Observation
"Almost burned down the house?" Ye Jinyu looked at them in surprise and asked solemnly, "What the hell is going on?" Who's going to talk about it. β
Anru Meng was eager to try, and as soon as he said the word "I", Ye Jinyu interrupted mercilessly, "The parties are exempted, and they can't make an objective statement." β
Anru Meng was deflated, and his face turned red with anger, but because he was afraid of the power in Ye Jinyu's hands, he could only endure this breath.
Ye Jinyu swept towards the people in the courtyard, and finally walked in front of Qu Yu, Shi Li asked: "I'm causing trouble to Lord Qu, I don't know if Lord Qu can understand what happened?" β
Qu Yu returned the salute and turned back to look at the two guards not far away, and the two immediately trotted over.
Ye Jinyu recognized them, these two often guarded the gate of Ruchu Garden, and it must have been their turn to be on duty just now.
Sure enough, after their narration, Ye Jinyu also had a general understanding of the situation.
The rooms of Anru Meng and Ye Yuanxi are next to each other, and Ye Yuanxi usually lives in a simple house, but the two of them have nothing to do with each other.
But recently, Ye Yuanxi's health has been getting worse and worse, and he has been drinking medicine for most of the month. And she is very afraid of the cold, and every winter in the room not only has a stove, but also three or four more braziers.
Qingyun, the maidservant who was in charge of keeping vigil for Ye Yuanxi last night, was her confidant brought from home. Usually cautious and careful, probably because of the recent overwork, I fell asleep at dawn. So much so that he did not bother with the brazier placed at the foot of the bed, and somehow burned the curtain on the bed.
Everyone was asleep deeply, and by the time they woke up, the fire had spread to the wall behind the bed. Coincidentally, on the other side is Anjou Dream's bed.
Ye Jinyu entered Ye Yuanxi's house and saw that the fire should not be too big, but it only burned a small half of Ye Yuanxi's bed, and a large piece of the wall was blackened, otherwise it would be impossible for there to be no casualties. And when she first entered the courtyard, she couldn't tell from the outside that there was a fire inside.
She pondered for a moment, looking at Ye Yuanxi's soft jade face, and couldn't help but feel compassion.
"Qingyun was not careless in her work, and her dereliction of duty almost caused a catastrophe, so she was implicated in this farce, so she was punished for fasting for one day and two months of moonsilver." Ye Jinyu swept towards everyone again, and said in a deep voice: "As for the other people involved in this matter, they all fast for one day as punishment. If you dare to gather people to make trouble in the future, you will not be spared. β
After speaking, he looked at Qu Yu and asked, "Master Qu, do you think it's okay for me to deal with it like this?" β
Qu Yu's eyes flashed, and he replied: "The affairs of the back house are under the control of the girl, and the subordinates have no right to interfere." β
"Okay, let's do it." Ye Jinyu smiled and nodded.
"No way!" An Rumeng was not happy, and said angrily: "I am the real victim, Miss Ye not only gave me an explanation, but even punished the people in my house, what is the reason?" β
Ye Jinyu approached her and said in a low voice: "Miss An, the heavy loss is in Miss Ye's house, I have been to see it over there, only the walls are a little blackened, and there is no other loss." Be forgiving and forgiving, and then I will have the walls of your house repaired again, and you will put out the fire. β
"I can't just forget it, at least, at least let the Ye girl come over and make amends for me." Anjou dreams are still messing around.
Ye Jinyu has a headache, this Anru dream is simply looking for trouble, obviously Miss Ye has already apologized as soon as the incident happened, and she still holds on.
"Miss An, if I heard me correctly, it was Jin Xi in your house who made the first move. Originally, you were reasonable, but you provoked an infighting, injured so many people, and a few of them were innocently implicated, I have to give them an explanation. β
Ye Jinyu looked at An Rumeng, who was a little weak-hearted, and continued to persuade: "Don't you want to live in the Hou Mansion?" Then I will have less grudges with others, more tolerance, and I will be able to turn a blind eye. β
An Rumeng bit her lip, glared at a few people in Ye Yuanxi's house unwillingly, was silent for a long time, and finally stomped back to her room.
Ye Jinyu handed over the finishing work to Ling Zhao and went back to Fuyuan first. When I entered the house, I saw Hou Ye sitting in her flower hall, and my heart immediately tightened, I am afraid that I have heard about Ruchuyuan, and it will be no good to wait for her here at this time.
"I've seen Master Hou." Ye Jinyu walked over to salute under the man's gaze, and asked first: "Master Hou came here at this time, but do you want to ask about Ruchuyuan?" I've ......"
"Since the matter of the back house has been handed over to you, Ben Hou is very relieved, and there is no need to report everything to me." Li Yi interrupted her words, and continued in the woman's surprised gaze: "Ben Hou came here to tell you that I will go to the church with Ben Hou for a banquet tonight. β
"Where?" Ye Jinyu thought that he had misheard, and blurted out a question in shock.
"Workshop!" Li Yi observed her expression and said quietly: "Benhou remembers that you have always wanted to go? β
"Do you let the girl in the workshop?" Ye Jinyu finally came back to his senses, thinking that he was really interested in that place, and couldn't help but smile. Hey, is she so easy to see through?
"Ordinary girls wouldn't want to go in." Li Yi replied lukewarmly.
Ye Jinyu knew that he was choking her on purpose, and he didn't care if he was used to his character, so he asked again: "Then why don't I change into men's clothes?" β
"Save your crooked brains." Li Yi stood up, took two steps closer, looked at her condescendingly, and warned: "When you get there, don't run around, cooperate with Ben Hou, if you dare to cause trouble, Ben Hou will sell you to the teaching workshop." β
I can't ask for it, at least I have a chance to escape if I stay there, and the chances of staying here are slim. tower
"Yes, Jin Yu remembered!" Ye Jinyu replied well-behaved, but she was thinking about it in her heart, otherwise she would really make a mess and let Hou Ye sell her?
When it was almost evening, Ye Jinyu was dressed up by Yu Yue and Wen Yi before he was able to go out.
"Ling Zhao, why do I think they made me ugly?" Ye Jinyu looked at the clothes on his body, and always had a feeling of wearing linen and filial piety.
Ling Zhao shook his head with a clear conscience, and said seriously: "The girl has always been beautiful, you don't know, this makeup is a new fashionable pattern in Yingcheng." β
Ye Jinyu couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth, "It's time for your aesthetics to be rebuilt." "I didn't expect that people here like rough and uninhibited deliberately ugly makeup, when she is stupid, it must be on purpose.
No wonder Hou Ye wants to take her to the teaching workshop, this is deliberately to scandalize her and want to give her excitement!
Hey, naΓ―ve, naΓ―ve, does she care if others are more beautiful than her? No matter how beautiful they are, they can still be more beautiful than Ye Yuanxi and Miaoyin!
Before getting into the carriage, Ye Jinyu took out a veil from his sleeve and put it on, and walked into the carriage under Ling Zhao's suspicious gaze.
"What? Now I know that it is not appropriate to go to the teaching workshop, and I want to cover up my ugliness? Li Yi saw her come in like this, and pressed the upturned corners of his mouth to sarcastically.
Ye Jinyu sat down next to the car door, leaned on the veil and sighed faintly: "I'm worried that I'm too beautiful, and I guess Master Hou doesn't want the people in his house to be remembered by others." β
Li Sui pursed his lips and raised his eyebrows, changed his posture to look at her for a long time, and said confidently: "They don't have the guts, you can take off this veil." β
"Ling Zhao said, this is the most popular costume in Yingcheng now, what a pity they have helped me dress up for a long time." Ye Jinyu tilted his head to meet his gaze, revealing a defiant smile.
Li Sui also smiled back and did not speak again.
After nightfall, the teaching workshop is the most lively place on the whole street, Ye Jinyu got out of the carriage and saw Yuan Zhi waiting outside the door, and as soon as the other party saw the carriage of the Hou Mansion, he immediately greeted him enthusiastically.
"Ye Biao, girl!" Yuan Zhi arched his hand to Ye Jinyu, who got out of the carriage first, his eyes swept over the veil on her face, and without stopping long, he turned to Li Sui, who was following closely, and bowed his hand and said: "I've seen Master Hou, you're finally here, everyone is here, let's go upstairs quickly." β
Li Sui arched his hand to him, and then led Ye Jinyu inside.
The workshop is different from the ordinary Qinglou, the girls here belong to official prostitutes, and most of the girls used to have a good background, but unfortunately fell here for various reasons. The girls here are a little more arrogant than the girls in the ordinary Qinglou, and their talents are slightly higher.
In addition, the people who come here for recreation are basically the children of official families, and the vassals are elegant and do not want to lose their identity, they pursue spiritual sustenance and pleasure. Over time, a trend has formed in the workshop, and most of the girls are selling their art but not their bodies.
Ye Jinyu was led by Li Sui, and attracted a lot of strange eyes on the way, but obviously the people in the workshop knew Li Sui's identity, so they didn't dare to stop him.
Ye Jinyu secretly sighed: Hou Ye is really a frequent visitor here!
When entering the private room on the second floor, everyone was sitting behind a screen, and Ye Jinyu heard those people discussing the girls in the workshop with great interest.
Yuan Zhi observed his eyes, and when he saw that he was looking at Cousin Ye, he coughed heavily.
The discussion behind the screen stopped abruptly, and someone stretched out his head to take a look, and immediately beckoned everyone to get up to greet Wu Anhou.
Li Sui let go of Ye Jinyu's hand, quietly blocked the person behind him, and walked over to greet everyone first. Ye Jinyu followed closely behind, saluted to everyone, and glanced up at a familiar face, the other party looked at her twice, and slowly frowned, as if she was very dissatisfied with her coming to this kind of place.
"Jin Yu has seen my cousin!" Ye Jinyu greeted the man alone, wondering and stunned in his heart, he really didn't expect Qi Guanyu to come to this kind of place, it turned out that he was not Tang Seng.
Qi Guanyu wanted to ask Li Yi for the reason why Ye Jinyu appeared here, but before he got up, he was pressed down on the shoulder by Yuan Zhi, who was sitting next to him, and a slight exhortation sounded in his ears: "Calm down!" β
"Drink water." As soon as Ye Jinyu sat down, a hand stretched out next to her, she glanced at Li Yi in surprise, but she couldn't understand what expression was on his face. In front of so many people, she could only cooperate with the other party first, took the teacup shyly, lifted the corner of the veil and took a sip slowly.
Li Yi smiled gently, and gently patted the back of her head, the expression and movements can be called spoiled, and stunned a room of people.
Ye Jinyu realized that he was being watched, and barely maintained the calm on his face, pretending to turn his head sideways shyly.
Li Yi's face was slightly gloomy, and he quickly swept towards everyone, and immediately frightened everyone's attention.
After a while, Yuan Zhi got up to play a round, "Okay, since Master Hou has arrived, let's start the table, and there are other programs prepared to cheer you up, don't be restrained." β
It was basically not the first time that everyone here had gotten along with Hou Ye, and after saying this, they immediately let go again.
After a while, a man came in to serve the food, and then three girls came in, a flute, a moon qin and a yao zheng, and the three of them sat outside the screen, playing a tactful and lingering tune.
Halfway through the wine, Mama Lin from the teaching workshop suddenly came over, and saluted Li Sui with a happy face, "The gift from the Hou Ye Qianzhong girl was very happy to see it, she couldn't bear to live up to the Hou Ye's wishes, and she had promised to invite the Hou Ye to her room." β
