Chapter 728: Gestures
Ye Jinyu finally came to her senses, and when she heard this, her heartbeat was a little wrong, but she pretended not to hear it, turned her head to Zhou Si and said, "Brother Zhou, it's time for you to rest." ”
"Well, I'm tired of you." Zhou Si nodded, avoiding her gaze, reluctantly got into bed, lay down and pulled the quilt over, and slowly closed his eyes.
Ye Jinyu stood on the side of the bed and waited for a while, listening to his even breathing, and seeing that he was motionless, he left with Li Sui with confidence.
Out of the door of Ming Shuyuan, Li Sui suddenly walked fast, Ye Jinyu hurried a few steps and didn't catch up, and suddenly felt that he was a fool, what did he do when he walked his way.
Thinking of this, she slowed down and kept walking normally.
However, she didn't walk for a while, and the person in front of her who was walking fast seemed to notice that she was not following, and suddenly slowed down again, turned his head and saw her unhurried posture, frowned and said in an unkind tone: "Keep up!" ”
This capricious man!
Ye Jinyu rolled his eyes weakly, and in the eyes of the man who was like a supervisor, staring at him, he silently quickened his pace and walked to his side.
"I don't know what else the prince commands?" Ye Jinyu asked respectfully.
Li Sui didn't like her attitude, but he didn't correct it, but asked: "I heard that Yunqing was wronged in Qi's private school, and you were later called over by Qi Envoy, did he embarrass you?" ”
Ye Jinyu twisted his eyebrows, who passed on this, why do you think it doesn't sound right.
So in line with the consciousness of seeking truth from facts, she told Yunqing and Yuan Rong about the matter from beginning to end. As for the conversation between her and her uncle, she just picked out a key point and said, for example, Qi Guanyu had traced Zhou Si's matter in their hands.
After Li Sui heard this, he narrowed his eyes and said: "I have expected this matter, Qi has not come to the army at this time, presumably to see Benhou's attitude." ”
"That'...... What are you going to do? A trace of worry crossed Ye Jinyu's eyes, and she quickly covered it up again.
Li Sui bent the corners of his mouth slightly, and muttered for a moment before he spoke again: "The soldiers will block, and the water will cover it." ”
Ye Jinyu paused, Li Sui took a few steps forward and found that the person hadn't followed, and when he turned around, he saw that her face was covered with a layer of astonishment, and she tilted her head and threw an inquiring look.
"That's it?" Ye Jinyu came back to his senses, not believing that he would deal with this matter so easily.
Li Sui shrugged his shoulders and asked rhetorically, "What does that Jinyu think I should do?" ”
Ye Jinyu pursed his mouth, shook his head and walked to his side, and said, "Everything is up to Master Hou." ”
Li Sui smiled, raised his hand to rub her head, suddenly thought of something, and immediately withdrew it, and walked forward as if nothing happened.
The moment his hand was raised, Ye Jinyu unconsciously held his breath, waiting for the familiar temperature to fall on the top of his head, that hand was wide and smooth, and the strength of each rubbing was like stroking a treasure. Let her have a kind of sweetness of being cared for, and give her an inexplicable sense of security.
Ye Jinyu didn't find that she was enjoying Hou Ye's affectionate gesture to her more and more, but when she saw Hou Ye withdraw his hand halfway like the previous two times, her heart was suddenly full of loss.
Recently, Hou Ye has become more and more polite and reserved towards her, which was originally a good thing, but after seeing her mind clearly, she can no longer be indifferent.
Ye Jinyu suddenly felt that her behavior and mood were always contradictory, what should she do to maintain her balance?
In Mengxia, the weather is neither hot nor cold, and the night no longer feels cold. When I go to bed, the window is ajar, and occasionally the summer breeze blows in, accompanied by the subtle sweet fragrance of flowers, as if it has a kind of sleeping effect.
Ye Jinyu fell asleep comfortably, and after a while, a bell rang in his ears, accompanied by the sound of Sanskrit scriptures, which made people feel even calmer in their hearts.
She slowly opened her eyes and looked at the slightly familiar temple in front of her, and when she swept to Yunxiang and Hou Ye, she immediately reacted, this is a temple.
Yun Xiang once said that she wanted to come over to see Si Zhou in person and thank him.
Ye Jinyu turned his head and glanced at Li Sui, did not speak, and soon Si Zhou wore a mask and walked over with the support of Xiao Shami.
Because of his ugly appearance, he didn't dare to recognize Yun Xiang, until Yun Xiang called him "Brother Mang", and finally showed his stuff excitedly.
They are just childhood playmates who have been together for less than half a year, but in Si Zhou's eyes, this little girl has always been the most special existence. It's a pity that Yun Xiang has always only regarded him as a little brother, and he has thanked him for catching up with him, and finally asked him where he is looking for a job now?
Si Zhou knew her intentions, and he also thought that he was not worthy of her, and it was a great happiness to be able to have a few good words with her after so many years.
He didn't say where he was looking for a job, but politely replied, "We'll see you again if you have a fate", Yun Xiang thought he had something unspeakable and didn't ask again.
At this time, the official from the county government came over and said that the Yun family was here, and County Lieutenant Li asked Yun Xiang to come over quickly.
Yun Xiang only heard the title of "County Lieutenant Li" in his ears, and a handsome face popped up in his mind, so he hurriedly said goodbye to Si Zhou and the others, and left with spring in his eyes.
Ye Jinyu saw Si Zhou's hand shrunk in his sleeve, and hesitated for a long time, as if he wanted to take something out, but until Yun Xiang's figure disappeared outside the temple gate, his hand was not revealed.
"Brother Si Zhou, do you still have something to say to Miss Yun?" Ye Jinyu arched his hand and took the liberty to ask.
Si Zhou was shocked by her words, turned his head to look at the two life-saving benefactors in front of him, and said after a long time: "I don't know if it's the right time to do it, Aunt Mei gave me something before she died, but she didn't say when she would hand it over to Sister Yunxiang." ”4E
Ye Jinyu took a quick look at Li Sui, and the surprise of "I didn't expect there to be a new harvest" appeared on his face, but he quickly adjusted his expression and asked, "What is it?" Can we take a look? ”
Si Zhou hesitated for a long time, moved the hand hidden in his sleeve a few more times, and finally said: "Actually, it's just a jade pendant, but I don't know what secret is hidden in it, I haven't realized its meaning after so many years of observation." I think Sister Yunxiang doesn't have to worry about her life now, so I'd better keep this thing for now, lest it cause trouble to Sister Yunxiang again. ”
With that, the hand hidden in his sleeve finally reached out, and he held a palm-sized wooden box in his hand.
Li Sui stretched out his hand to take it and opened the wooden box, and there was a mutton fat white jade pendant lying inside. Pick it up and look at the sun, the jade pendant is white and creamy, oily and calm, delicate in texture, and engraved with a dragon pattern on one side.
He couldn't help but squint his eyes, wasn't this pattern exactly the same as the one on the jade pendant he had found in those deserter camps before.
If the information of the thousand girl is correct, then why does Jinyu's maternal grandmother have the objects of the Cangnan Kingdom that has long perished?
"You recognize this?" Ye Jinyu couldn't see Li Sui's face, but she still caught the change in his eyes.
As soon as these words came out, Si Zhou also looked at Li Sui in surprise.
"I know, but I don't know much, but this thing is dangerous." Li Sui looked at Si Zhou and asked, "Why did Aunt Mei give you this thing?" What did she say? ”
Si Zhou was frightened by his words, and was glad that he didn't have the impulse to hand over the things to Sister Yunxiang just now.
"When Aunt Mei was seriously ill, she once handed over this object to me for collection when Sister Yunxiang was not by her side. Tell me that if Sister Yunxiang can live a peaceful and happy life in this life, don't take out the jade pendant. But if she encounters an unsolvable crisis, maybe this jade pendant can save her life. ”
Ye Jinyu swallowed her saliva, not knowing if Zhou Si had handed over the jade pendant to her mother in reality. And the cause of her parents' deaths, could it also be related to this jade pendant?
This time the dream was very short, and they didn't receive a task, as if they just deliberately lit up a clue in reality for them.
After Ye Jinyu woke up, he went to Mingshu Garden to see Zhou Si after breakfast.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked out of the Fuyuan Gate, he saw the Hou Ye walking from the direction of Shen Pavilion, and the two of them looked at each other, without words, and immediately understood each other's intentions.
Ye Jinyu saluted him, Li Sui hooked the corners of his mouth, nodded and said, "Let's go." ”
When he came to Mingshu Garden, he saw Zhou Si standing in the courtyard basking in the sun with the support of the little maid. The three of them glanced at each other, but Zhou Si still didn't have much impression of Li Sui, and he didn't remember to salute for a long time.
When he saw Ye Jinyu in a blink of an eye, a beautiful smile suddenly appeared on that ugly face, which made people unconsciously ignore his appearance.
Ye Jinyu knew that he was not looking at the real her, but in the face of the sudden affectionate eyes of a strange man, he still felt nervous and shy.
Zhou Si said happily: "Sister Yun, you are here." I'm much better today, and I just thought ......"
Li Sui frowned, took two steps forward to block Ye Jinyu's sight, and also blocked Zhou Si's undisguised peeping at her.
"We came here today to ask you something, it's inconvenient to talk here, let's go in and talk." Li Sui protected the people behind him, and made a gesture of please to Zhou Si, who was stunned and lost.
Zhou Si lowered his eyes and walked into the house, Ye Jinyu gently patted Hou Ye's arm when he heard the footsteps, walked to the side and said, "Why do you bother with a patient, and you are not afraid of losing your identity." ”
After that, he raised his feet and walked into the house, Li Sui was displeased and wanted to make it clear to her, but he inadvertently saw her red ears, and his depressed mood instantly refreshed.
The three of them sat down in the flower hall, and Li Sui asked straight to the point, "Do you still have the jade pendant that Aunt Mei gave you back then?" ”
"Y-How did you know about this?" Zhou Si looked at Li Sui in shock, a little jealous and on guard.
Ye Jinyu explained beside him: "Brother Zhou, Master Hou has no malicious intent, as for how we know, I can't explain it to you now." But if you still have that jade pendant, can you take it out and let me see it? ”
"Sister Yun......" Zhou Si turned to face her, and instantly changed his embarrassed expression, "This thing, Aunt Mei has explained, you must not show it until you have to, what do you suddenly want it to do?" ”
"But now we need it, and maybe it will help us solve a lot of puzzles." Ye Jinyu softened his voice, slightly coquettish, "Brother Zhou, you can take it out, isn't that what my mother left for me?" Don't worry, this is the Hou Mansion, and no one dares to bully me. ”
Where could Zhou Si stand her coquettishness, he immediately disarmed and surrendered, and said hesitantly that he would go in and get it.
Waiting for Zhou Si to leave, Li Sui slapped the table and scolded: "Don't talk like this in front of outsiders." ”
"I'm communicating normally." Ye Jinyu has a flat mouth.
Li Sui snorted coldly and complained, "But I don't see you communicating with me so normally." ”
Ye Jinyu pursed his lips, but he couldn't help but steal joy in his heart, Master Hou was jealous. Hey, this vinegar is also very strong, and she even has to care how she speaks.
Zhou Si soon came out, and it also broke the ambiguity that had just brewed between them.
"Brother Zhou, what's wrong, why is your face so ugly?" Ye Jinyu noticed Zhou Si's disgraced look at a glance.
Zhou Si lowered his head guiltily and opened his mouth a few times before he said in a dumb voice: "I know that the jade pendant must be of great significance to Aunt Mei and you, so I have always carried it with me and sewed it in my underwear." But I just searched for all the underwear and I didn't find it, how can I lose it, shouldn't it......"
