Chapter 639: The Bookshelves
Ye Jinyu hurriedly shifted his attention, pointed to the bottom and said, "Get ready to be soft, let's go." ”
The three of them, who looked at the children who were only seven or eight years old, jumped to the path deep in the bamboo forest, and were discovered by the outermost guard in a short time.
As soon as the guards saw them, they were immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly stopped the people and asked with a smile: "Why did the little boy and little sister suddenly come here?" Don't you know that this is a private house, and you are not allowed to trespass, what about your father? ”
Li Sui replied ignorantly: "I don't know, we are separated from our father and mother, and we can't find our way back, can this big brother help us find our father?" Please, brother! ”
The guard's eyes rolled and he smiled more earnestly, "Okay, brother, I see you are so pitiful, so let's go in with my brother first." When my brother finds out about my master, we will send someone to find your father and mother, let's go. ”
Led by guards, they easily slipped into the courtyard.
The guards handed them over to the butler of the other courtyard, coaxed them into a few words, and then walked away.
The housekeeper looked at the three children, was amazed, and muttered in a low voice: "It's really a rare good product, it just so happens that the men's wind hall has contacted the master recently, so let's try the water with this kid." ”
Although his voice was small, he still let the three people next to him hear it, Ye Jinyu couldn't help but look at Xiao Zhengtai with black lines on his head, with Brother Yun Yu's aura and height, even if he wants to engage in kina, it is a proper general attack, and he will be sent to the men's wind hall to serve people, so he must not lift the restaurant.
The steward led them to a side room and told them not to run around, and in a short time the master himself would come and see them. After the explanation, the man left, and by the way, the door was also locked.
Qin Miaoyin held Ye Jinyu's hand and asked nervously, "Can we still go out?" ”
"Don't worry, didn't the butler just now say that his master was coming? Let's do it again when we are here, now ......" Ye Jinyu shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "Let's recuperate first." ”
The voice landed, and in a flash, the dream woke up.
Ye Jinyu sat up, thinking back to Yun Yu's appearance of the little Zhengtai in the dream, and secretly sighed: Fortunately, it was in a dream, if in reality she was also interested in a little Zhengtai, wouldn't it be a pervert.
Ye Jinyu hurriedly shook his head to shake off this weird idea, washed up, and went out to see that it had become white again, and there were still fine snowflakes floating in the sky.
"I didn't expect me to spend the New Year in such a place, I don't know how my parents are now?" Ye Jinyu looked at the snowflakes flying in the sky, and whispered: "I should have been cremated for a long time in that world, I am the only one by my parents' side, I don't know what to be sad about......
"Who's sad?" Ling Zhao suddenly walked over from behind, and while putting on a fox fur for her, he asked strangely, "What were you muttering just now?" ”
Ye Jinyu retracted his thoughts in time, smiled slightly to dilute the sentimentality in his eyes, shook his head and said, "It's okay, I'm just homesick." I'm going to Miao Yin for the holidays today, just in time to be a companion. ”
"But......" Ling Zhao said in embarrassment, "Lord Hou sent someone over early in the morning to spread the word and asked you to go to the Shen Pavilion for lunch." ”
Ye Jinyu was speechless, this bastard is really good at picking the time.
"It's still early at noon, so I'll go to Miaoyin and talk for a while."
"Okay, hmm......" Ling Zhao hesitated again, and only said after a while: "Today is a small year, I want to sweep the dust of the stove, can I take a day off?" Later, I will accompany my father to worship my mother. ”
Hearing her mention her father, Ye Jinyu's heart was sour again, and he immediately nodded: "Go quickly, don't worry, just come back tomorrow." ”
Ling Zhao hurriedly thanked him and left happily.
Ye Jinyu called all the other people in the courtyard over and informed them that they would have a day off today, and they should hurry up if they wanted to do anything. After saying that, she took the first step to leave.
Qin Miaoyin's Tilting Cloud Garden had already been decorated with joy, Ye Jinyu had observed the four subordinates in her courtyard before, and they all looked like honest and honest people, they might not be particularly clever, but they didn't have so many twists and turns.
In addition, Miaoyin is also a kind and lively character, they get along well, compared to Fuyuan, they are more humane here.
Ye Jinyu couldn't help but feel a little emotional in such an environment, in fact, the few in Fuyuan were also good, but it might be because she usually didn't pay much attention to the things around her, but had a deep sense of distance from them.
"Miaoyin, my eldest cousin is back, I want to go back in two days, do you know about the eldest cousin?" After eating breakfast, Ye Jinyu looked at the people next to him and cut to the chase.
"Sister Hui is back!" Qin Miaoyin blinked in surprise and said with a smile: "Sister Hui hasn't seen her for two or three years since she married in the capital five years ago. However, I heard my mother say that the family that Sister Hui married to was a third-grade official in the capital. ”
"Isn't this a little too high, is my cousin a wife?" Ye Jinyu thought that in ancient times, the most important thing was to pay attention to the right people, no matter how beautiful the Qi family was in Yingcheng, it was not as good as a Beijing official of the same grade, let alone a few levels of senior officials who improved him.
Qin Miaoyin hesitated a little, and said in a low voice: "Sister Hui married into the Tong family as a house-filler, but I heard that the eldest young master Tong is upright and clean, and it has been five years since Sister Hui was married, and there is only Sister Hui by his side." Now Sister Hui has a pair of children, so her position in the Tong family is very strong. ”
This made Ye Jinyu a little surprised.
"How old are my cousin's children?" Ye Jinyu thought about it and asked again.
Qin Miaoyin thought for a long time before replying uncertainly: "It should be about three years old, it's a pair of dragon and phoenix brothers and sisters." ”
"What was my relationship with my eldest cousin before?" A trace of discomfort flashed on Ye Jinyu's face.
"Sister Hui is very gentle, and she is very good to us little ones, but I often didn't see Sister Yi before, and Sister Hui got married a long time ago, so I don't know how you have a relationship." Qin Miaoyin said helplessly.
Ye Jinyu was silent for a moment, and then asked, "Then do you know the preferences of the eldest cousin?" "Qishu.com
Qin Miaoyin shook her head apologetically.
Ye Jinyu could only smile helplessly, calculating the age, Miaoyin was only ten years old when the eldest cousin got married, and it was normal if she didn't remember.
At this time, Yulian brought over a plate of stove candy and asked them to be snacks, Ye Jinyu stayed in the Tilting Cloud Garden for half an hour, and Hou Ye sent someone to invite her back.
In the Shen Pavilion, Li Yi walked around in the study, the bamboo slips in his hand were basically decorations, and his mind had already run elsewhere.
After so many years, he has never looked forward to any holidays since he was the only one left in the family. But today he especially wants to see Ye Rutong, even if it is just a meal together and a few words, his heart is also down-to-earth and warm.
In fact, he has been restless since the morning, but the little girl only thinks about her good sister in her heart, and even runs there to eat breakfast. If he hadn't sent someone to spread the word in advance, I'm afraid this little girl wouldn't have remembered him at all.
Thinking about it like this, Li Yi suddenly felt very pitiful, if he continues like this, when will he become the first in the little girl's heart?
When Ye Jinyu walked into the study, he saw Hou Ye shaking his head and sighing with sadness on his face, as if he had encountered some problem, and hesitated for a while before saluting softly, "Jin Yu has seen Hou Ye." ”
Li Yi didn't notice that there was an extra person in the room at all, and he was immediately frightened, and looked back suddenly, which startled Ye Jinyu again.
Wasn't it the right time for her to appear?
Li Yi realized that he had overreacted, and quickly adjusted his emotions, slowly showing a warm smile on his face, and said softly: "Come here, sit down first, Ben Hou... There are still some things to deal with in hand, so you can wait and have lunch together later. ”
When Ye Jinyu sat and drank the third cup of tea, Hou Ye was still sitting behind the bookcase, not knowing what he was reading.
She was very depressed, why did she have to call her over so early when she was so busy, the relationship between them was not embarrassing, even if Hou Ye might be interested in her and wanted to shorten the distance between each other at this time, but she didn't have that kind of idea about Hou Ye.
Being able to agree to come over for dinner is also because she is under the fence, and Hou Ye is really good to her, and she is not good at dismantling the stage at this time, but she doesn't seem to have the right to refuse.
All in all, she wanted to come over and have a quiet meal, and then go back to her own house to find her own mother.
But Hou Ye doesn't seem to think like this.
Not only did Li Sui not have the intention of dispersing after eating, he also had a follow-up plan, in short, he would not put people back until it was time to sleep.
Ye Jinyu didn't want to drink tea anymore, and glanced at the man behind the bookcase again, and unexpectedly made eye contact, and a little stunned flashed on his face in an instant. Instead, the man hooked his lips and smiled, turning from a calm gaze to an unbridled and explicit gaze.
The atmosphere in the study changed in an instant, and it made people panic.
Ye Jinyu's breath stagnated, and he hurriedly looked away, but he still couldn't get rid of the man's sight. Her eyes froze on the bookshelf, and she suddenly remembered what her uncle had said.
Yes, I almost forgot, she still has to help Ye Rutong track down her parents' case.
Thinking of this, Ye Jinyu put away his thoughts, pretended to move his legs and feet, walked slowly in the study, and finally walked to the bookshelf, turned his head and asked, "Master Hou, can I read the books here?" ”
Li Sui raised his eyebrows and made a gesture of please feel free.
Ye Jinyu smiled and thanked her, and then stood in front of the bookshelf and picked it up, sure enough, they were all kinds of books, and there were no dossiers as she imagined. Come to think of it, even if Hou Ye really keeps the case that the old Hou Ye has participated in, he will only collect these things, and how can he put them outside for others to watch.
"What type of books do you want to read?" Li Sui suddenly appeared behind her.
Ye Jinyu was startled, and noticed that the man was very close to him, and he was afraid that he would bump into him as soon as he turned around, so he didn't dare to move immediately.
However, the other party reminded her that she couldn't find the file, so she could find someone to investigate the case first.
"I want to see ......"
Knock knock, a sudden knock on the door interrupted her voice.
Li Sui's eyes lit up, and he took Ye Jinyu's hand and walked out.
"Where are you going?" Ye Jinyu asked unprepared.
Li Sui opened the door of the house, and the lark outside the door immediately said, "Master Hou, everything is ready, please move the kitchen." ”
Ye Jinyu looked at them in surprise, what do you mean, do you still want to go to the kitchen to eat in the New Year, their family's rules are really "special"!
There was a small kitchen in the Shen Pavilion, and Li Sui led people over, and everyone was already waiting outside the door, and after saluting them, they all retreated.
Ye Jinyu entered the kitchen and saw that there was a long table inside, with a cutting board, rolling pin, dough and various dumpling fillings on it.
"Do you know how to make dumplings?" Li Sui walked over and rolled up his sleeves and asked.
Ye Jinyu watched him sit down calmly in astonishment, that posture seemed to be very skilled, could it be that the Hou Ye likes to cook?
"I'll roll dumpling wrappers." Ye Jinyu whispered.
