Chapter 622: Helpless and Innocent
Ye Jinyu and Qin Miaoyin stayed alone in a room, Ye Jing went to find the owner of the tea shop to catch up, and they waited until the evening, but the concept of time in the dream was not as strong as reality, but when they saw the waning day, they calculated the approximate hour.
Yun Yu, who went to attract the pursuers, finally rushed back.
Ye Jinyu looked him up and down to confirm that he was not injured before asking, "What's the situation outside now?" ”
Yun Yu looked at Ye Jing and said, "I deliberately led the pursuers to the cave, and arranged some traces on the mountain, they must have thought that we had gone over the mountain." However, this is not a long-term solution, and they can still see the clues when they reach the top of the mountain. ”
Ye Jing nodded and said, "I also know below, then we won't delay here, and we will take a detour to Kyoto overnight." ”
I thought that before he came to the tea shop owner to catch up, it was for convenience, not only borrowed the boss's carriage, but also took away a lot of dry food.
Yun Yu and the three of them felt that they couldn't go, and wanted to scrape together some money to leave for the boss as a reward, but the boss refused to accept it, and Ye Jing didn't let them mind. This time they entered Beijing, they were doing chivalrous righteousness, so naturally there was no reason for them to break the bank.
After a few words of humility to each other, the four of them set off in a carriage.
This time it was Ye Jing who drove it himself, and the carriage was speeding on the bumpy path, and it didn't take long for Qin Miaoyin and Ye Jinyu to turn pale, and the two of them snuggled up to each other tightly.
In contrast, Yun Yu sat quite upright, occasionally shaking her upper body a few times, glancing at them from time to time, and her complexion became worse and worse.
Qin Miaoyin suddenly felt a chill on her back, and turned her head in surprise, just in time to bump into the man's dangerous and cold eyes. As soon as the inspiration moved, he immediately understood where this anger came from, and reluctantly let go of Ye Jinyu's arm and slowly moved a little.
Master Hou's heart and eyes are afraid that they can be compared to the eye of a needle, and the taste has been eaten on her.
However, at this moment, Ye Jinyu's mood was also extremely complicated, she obviously felt that Yun Yu was unhappy, and Miao Yin kept her distance from her without a trace after looking back at him.
Is this really a joy between the two lovers? It's too fast, look at their secret poking performance, it shouldn't be clear, this is starting to dislike her light bulb, if it is public, will she even have to close her eyes to avoid walking.
Miaoyin, this little nymphomaniac, forgets his righteousness when he sees it, hum!
The good carriage was instantly filled with a sour smell that made people lose their teeth.
Just when Ye Jinyu felt that the dream was too long this time, the feeling of weightlessness finally came from his body again, and he opened his eyes again, looking at everything familiar in the room, and the sourness in his heart gradually dissipated.
After another heavy snowfall, the winter solstice arrived.
Two days earlier, Li Sui and Ye Jinyu received an invitation from Mrs. Qi at the same time, saying that this was the first winter solstice after Hou Ye came to Yingcheng, and he needed to be lively, so he wanted to invite Hou Ye to Qi Mansion for the festival.
Ye Jinyu felt that Old Madam Qi was mostly trying to win over the Hou Ye for her or for the Qi family, but at the same time, she also felt that the old lady's hard work was probably going to be in vain.
With the identity of Hou Ye, if he wants to be more lively, there are people to accompany him, and he doesn't necessarily really want to make friends with the Qi family.
So Ye Jinyu didn't rush to reply to the letter, until on the night of receiving the letter, when the lark came to pass the word, saying that Hou Ye was going to take her back to Qi's house for the holiday, she was slapped in the face.
It seems that she still doesn't know enough about Hou Ye!
On the day of the winter solstice, Li Sui first went to the ancestral hall to worship his ancestors, and he didn't know when he would be able to return to Beijing after being distributed here, so everything that could be moved in the house was moved, especially the tablets in the ancestral hall, which were also taken away within three generations.
Since moving to Fuyuan, Ye Jinyu has returned to his previous habit of getting up early to practice. However, when she had to go back to Qi's house today, she had only practiced for less than half an hour before Ling Zhao dragged her back to bathe, dress up, and it took almost two hours before she was willing to let her eat something.
"You make it as if I want to get married, just to go to a relative, where is the need for such grandeur." Ye Jinyu looked at the three people who tossed him speechlessly, and couldn't help but complain.
The three of them covered their mouths and snickered, Ling Zhao put on a fox fur for her again, and pretended to be serious and reprimanded: "You must not say this kind of thing casually when you get married in the future, others will laugh at you when they hear it, and besides, you have followed our Hou Ye, and you will not be able to marry someone else in the future." ”
Hey, this is not good in ancient times, men can have three wives and four concubines, not to mention, a woman who is a concubine can't even hope for a decent wedding, it's really pitiful.
Ling Zhao saw that the girl suddenly shook her head with regret on her face, and thought that she had said the wrong thing and poked the girl's sore spot, so she immediately explained with annoyance: "Girl, don't get me wrong, I didn't mean that. Look at the girls in this city, no matter how beautiful they are, no matter how grand the scene is, it is not as good as everything you enjoy in the Hou Mansion, those are superficial, you ......"
"Okay, I know you're unintentional, I don't need to explain, I understand everything." Ye Jinyu covered his mouth and laughed.
Before Ling Zhao could say a few more words, the lark suddenly shouted outside the door, "Miss Ye, it's time for us to go." ”
Ling Zhao immediately shut up and helped Ye Jinyu out. As soon as she stepped out of the house, she was quietly dragged by the lark, and she let go of Ye Jinyu without a trace and slowed down.
"What were you just discussing?" The lark asked in a low voice.
Ling Zhao knew that he must have heard something, so naturally he didn't dare to tell a lie, so he told everything about what had just happened.
After hearing this, the lark thought thoughtfully, touched his chin and muttered, "It turns out that Miss Ye is thinking about this, although it is not easy to do, but it is also good to let Hou Ye take this opportunity to coax her to be happy." ”
"What did you say?" Ling Zhao didn't hear clearly.
The lark smiled mysteriously and said, "In the future, no matter what Miss Ye has, preferences, wishes or whatever, you must report it in time." ”
Ling Zhao agreed on her face, but she was very entangled in her heart, she had already sworn not to betray Miss Ye. I don't know what the lark wants these news to do, to help the Hou Ye please the girl? Hou Ye wouldn't have done this kind of thing before! 536 Literature
When he returned to Qi Mansion, Qi Guanyu brought people out to greet him, and the third sister Qi Mingyi and the fourth brother Qi Rong were all listed.
Ye Jinyu didn't have much contact with the pair of cousins and cousins when she returned home twice, and they wouldn't take the initiative to look for her, thinking that Ye Rutong's personality was too autistic before, so she was in general with her brothers and sisters at home, and I was afraid that only Qi Guanyu was a special case.
Since the original owner has such an attitude, she is not easy to act, she just said hello to them, gave them a small gift and stopped talking.
Qi Mingyi, who was a little older, took the initiative to come over and talk to her, and raised her hand weakly, but she didn't dare to grab her hand, but said with a smile: "Cousin, let's go and see grandmother first." ”
Qi Guanyu also said: "Go ahead, it's not too late to see your father at lunch." ”
Ye Jinyu looked at Li Yi, the man raised his eyebrows, the expression on his face was very light, and his eyes wandered around her and Qi Guanyu before nodding.
Came to the old lady's house again, this time it was not as lively as last time, and only Mrs. Qi and the maidservants and grandmothers were there when they passed.
"Jin Yu meets his grandmother, aunt, and two elders." Ye Jinyu bowed.
The old lady nodded, beckoned, "Get up, and come closer for me to see." ”
Ye Jinyu paused, quickly walked over, and took the initiative to hand it over.
The old lady held it, looked at her carefully, and only smiled with satisfaction after a while, "I raised you well, and didn't let her be wronged, right?" ”
Ye Jinyu was moved in his heart, and nodded with a smile, "No, don't worry." My aunt went to see me last time, and the people in the Hou Mansion treated me very well. ”
"Good news, not bad news!" The old lady glanced at her, motioned for her to sit down next to her, and continued: "The grievances you suffered earlier in the Ruchu Garden, are we really not able to hear them? Fortunately, Wu'an Houken protects you, and I can be more or less down-to-earth in my heart. This time, he is willing to accompany you back to your parents' house for the holiday, I think he really cares about you, and you cherish it. ”
Where is he accompanying her, he must want to use this incident to establish a good relationship with the Qi family.
Ye Jinyu complained in his heart, still maintained a decent smile on his face, and replied meekly: "Jinyu remember, don't always worry about me, are you healthy recently?" When you're old, you should take care of yourself, and leave the rest to us young people. ”
"You little mouth, you're getting more and more coaxing." The old lady squinted and smiled, and nodded her forehead in the air.
After chatting in the old lady's room for more than half an hour, there was a call for dinner outside.
Lunch was placed in the atrium, and the old lady was too old to have her legs and feet, and she didn't want to move much, saying that she was carrying it in a soft sedan chair and didn't want to move, and she didn't want to join in the excitement of the young people, so she finally stayed in her own room to eat.
Ye Jinyu originally wanted to stay with her, but she was also sent away.
When he saw his uncle at the dinner table, he couldn't help but salute again, but his uncle looked too serious and rigid, and Ye Jinyu was a little afraid of him. Fortunately, there was also Wu Anhou who was there to help her divert a lot of attention, and her uncle just asked her a few words, and then turned his head to greet Hou Ye.
On the table of the winter solstice, there are wine, dumplings, plus a few plates of hard dishes and stir-frying, it is really lively to eat.
After lunch, Qi Yuanjun invited Li Yi to the study again.
Ye Jinyu had nothing to do, and talked with Mrs. Qi for a while, and when she saw that she was tired, she pulled Qi Mingyi out.
Qi Mingyi looked at the hands they were holding together, with a novel smile in his eyes, and tried to shake it, but seeing that his cousin didn't shake it off, he shook it several times, as if he had found some fun toy.
With a "poof", Ye Jinyu finally couldn't help laughing, and pinched Qi Mingyi's ruddy little face, "Are my hands so fun?" ”
Qi Mingyi smiled innocently, and said shyly: "I, I held my cousin's hand for the first time, I didn't dare before, for fear that my cousin would be unhappy." ”
"Have I ever murdered you before?" Ye Jinyu asked helplessly.
Qi Mingyi hurriedly shook his head.
"Then why are you so afraid of me?" Ye Jinyu was helpless and innocent.
Qi Mingyi blinked, and said in a coquettish voice: "Cousin is very powerful, I saw that you punished our family's Diao slaves, it is really very powerful, but it is also a little ......."
Ye Jinyu understood, touched her head with a smile, and comforted: "You have to be fierce and ruthless in dealing with Diao slaves, so that they don't dare to commit it again, otherwise they will have to climb to the top of your head and bully you." To be merciful to the enemy is to be cruel to oneself, and although the girl's family must be docile and virtuous, she must also know to protect herself. You're still young, and you'll understand when you grow up. ”
The two unconsciously came to a fork in the road, and when Qi Mingyi was about to invite Ye Jinyu to his courtyard, the housekeeper suddenly walked over from not far away, and said to Ye Jinyu: "Cousin, master, please come over." ”
Ye Jinyu was surprised, but he also knew that it was not suitable to ask, so he said goodbye to Qi Mingyi with a smile.
The butler led her around, but instead of a study, she went to a room with two tablets.
Ye Jinyu swept the names on the tablet, one surnamed Ye and the other surnamed Qi, and immediately understood what was going on.
"Jin Yu greets his father-in-law."
"Get up, it's the winter solstice, and you're coming back again, so come and offer incense to your parents." Qi Yuanjun nodded and handed her three sticks of incense.
Ye Jinyu took it and regarded them as his real ancestors, and worshiped them devoutly.
