Chapter 95: A Chance Encounter
The rain is indeed not heavy, just a foggy patch, and the flowers and trees in the Shi family's mansion are like veiled beauties, becoming more and more delicate, but the master and servant have no intention of appreciating it.
Que'er was a little puzzled, and her own lady said that she thought the room was too stuffy and wanted to come out to take a breath.
This light rain stroll is indeed elegant, but the young lady's feet are walking fast, a pair of silver and red delicate embroidered shoes stained with water does not seem to feel general, just hurriedly moving forward, not at all like to breathe, but like to rush to somewhere.
She wondered in her heart, but with an umbrella in her hand, she had to watch the road under her feet carefully, for fear that the young lady would slip and fall with her, so she didn't care about seeing where she went.
When the front finally stopped, and the front of him was also open, and a large area of water appeared, Que'er suddenly realized that she had followed the young lady to the lotus flower pavilion in the northeast corner of the back house garden.
This is a water pavilion built on the lake, just in the mist and rain, the scenery is quite ethereal.
Qijing is surrounded by a moat outside and the Pingjing River runs through it.
The north side of the Shi family's mansion is not far from the river, so as early as when the mansion was built, the living water in the northeast corner of the river was opened to divert water into a lake.
Que'er was so strange, she and Song Youyu had come here before, and there were guards who stopped them at that time, saying that the Shi family here has rules and it is inconvenient to stay for a long time.
Although it was not explained why it was inconvenient to stay for a long time, it was just that they just borrowed it, and they couldn't disobey the master's house, so they left.
"Miss, this way...... Shall we go back?"
Que'er thought that Song Youyu had forgotten for a while, and hurriedly persuaded her.
Song Youyu turned his head, his eyebrows were slightly frowned, the corners of his eyes drooped slightly, and the two wisps of his sideburns were dyed with moisture, slightly sticking to his cheeks, and his expression seemed to be very low.
"All I know, it's just ...... When I thought of my cousin leaving, I was left alone in this huge Qi Jing. Yongzhou is thousands of miles away, and I don't know when I will be able to see each other again.
I also think that my mother has only one daughter, and she has been crazy and stupid for so many years, and there is probably no one to worship me all these years. Now they are sending people under the fence, even if they want to worship, they need to avoid it.
Fortunately, my cousin told me some time ago that the old custom of Yongzhou, if it is inconvenient to worship in a foreign land, you can pick a bouquet of flowers, let it flow with the water, and pray silently in your heart, which is also considered to be worship, just because the water in this world must always flow clean and clean to one place.
I miss my mother very much today, and I want to emulate one or two, but there is no water or bridge near your and my residence, and I can only go here. It doesn't take time, it's just a quarter of an hour, and it's okay to come and protect the eldest brother, but I don't know how to explain it......"
Song Youyu said as he shed a few more tears, and the thin red cheeks stained by repeated tears became heavier and heavier, and he became more and more pitiful.
When Que'er heard her say this, her heart suddenly became sour, her nose tightened, her eyes turned red, and she choked up: "Miss, don't cry, I'll go over and ask to see if we can stay for a while." ”
After speaking, she stuffed the umbrella into Song Youyu's hand, and turned around to ask the guards to be accommodating in front of the Lotus Flower Pavilion.
The plan was hatched.
Song Youyu just had a three-point smile in her eyes, but she heard the courtyard door on the opposite side "squeak" open, she quickly looked up, and saw a man wearing a hat on the opposite side and hurriedly walked out.
The hat is covered with veil, and you can't see your facial features, but looking at your body size and clothes, it seems to be Shi Yanmo himself!
Song Youyu's pupils shrank suddenly, and he quickly reached out and grabbed Que'er, "Don't go over yet." ”
Magpie was dragged and staggered, and only after standing up straight did she notice the movement on the other side.
She was a little confused: "Is it Master Hou? why did he come here too?"
After speaking, he turned to a happy thought: "Miss, since Hou Ye is here, why don't we go and ask Hou Ye to be accommodating?" Hou Ye is a gentleman, benevolent, filial piety and loyalty, I think we can understand Miss's hard work. ”
Song Youyu didn't make a sound, just pulled her behind the tree and dodged again, making a "shhh" gesture in front of her lips.
It wasn't until the man who looked like Shi Yanmo went far away that Que'er asked puzzledly, "Miss, what's wrong with you?" Are you embarrassed to see Master Hou?"
Of course Song Youyu wasn't embarrassed, she just didn't understand why Shi Yanmo appeared here so coincidentally?
But when she thought about it, she was happy in her heart.
She didn't know why Shi Yanmo came, but the other party would come, it wouldn't be because this was an empty house, right? Even if it wasn't a star map, as long as she could have a handle and let her grasp Shi Yanmo's weaknesses, this trip would not be unsuccessful.
But Que'er was still waiting for her answer, Song Youyu's eyes drooped, and he put on a pitiful face again:
"Master Hou is kind enough to let you and me stay in the Shi family, but I worship my deceased mother behind my master's back, which is really inconsistent. Moreover, if I am misunderstood by Hou Ye, I will block him from meeting, but I am afraid that I will be disgusted with me in my heart......"
Magpie nodded half-incomprehensibly.
When I looked up again, I found that my young lady finished speaking, and I looked at the back of "Hou Ye" in a daze.
In fact, Song Youyu was because the other party happened to leave along the shore of the lake, and he had a better excuse in his mind than worshipping.
After a short while, she gently tugged at the magpie's sleeve.
"Good magpie, I know what to do. Let's just say that we just saw Hou Ye over there, and we want to go to find Hou Ye, anyway, everyone in the family knows that I am sticking to Hou Ye tightly, and no one will think of anything else. I'll go over first, you explain to the big brother of the guard, and then come after me. ”
After speaking, he didn't give Que'er a chance to hesitate, but stuffed the umbrella into her hand again, lifted her skirt and hurriedly ran towards the lake.
She was moving too fast, and before Que'er could react, the person was already a few meters away.
The two of them were behind the flower tree before, and they didn't speak loudly, so the guards didn't find it for a long time, but now that the movement is so big, the guards naturally found them.
Que'er chased a few steps by inertia, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the guards in front of the courtyard and chased after him, and then he realized what he was going to do.
She gritted her teeth, turned around and took a few steps to stop in front of the guard.
"Big Brother Guard! It's our ......"
Now the Shi family is naturally the master and servant of the future Mrs. Xinyang Hou, seeing that it is them, her face softened slightly, and Que'er explained to the guards as Song Youyu explained.
It's just that she just said a few words here, and the guard still had a half-believing look on his face, when she heard a scream of Song Youyu coming from behind her!
