Chapter 13: Crooked
Ye Xiaochen was a little absent-mindedly in the yard, destroying the flowers that were growing well, and he was thinking about his own affairs in his heart.
A few workers working together next to him were some of them regretting, "What a waste, such a beautiful flower, just shoveled it all like this" "Yes, it's a pity", "Okay, you make a little noise, this is a good thing for us, for the people's Shangshufu, it doesn't depend on the mood, if you don't want it, change it, hurry up and work" This is a slightly older man, "What are you afraid of, and no one is looking at us" Someone retorted, the old man shook his head and continued to bow his head to shovel flowers.
"Slap" Ye Xiaochen slapped his head, he really regarded himself as a worker, what the man said just now was right, and no one was watching here, I actually worked here stupidly for a long time, thinking of this, Ye Xiaochen's figure gradually broke away from the large army, and when everyone was not paying attention to the work, he went out of the courtyard gate and ran away!
Ye Xiaochen turned around for a while, there were handymen working everywhere, what is this Shangshu Mansion going to do, such a big battle? He felt that this place was much bigger than Yefu, and he didn't know which yard the second lady he wanted to investigate was in, so he had to turn aimlessly, but he was in a pavilion in a courtyard, and saw a bonsai on the stone table, it was an unknown plant, it looked pretty good, he rolled his eyes and hugged it, he had already planned it, if someone asked on the road, he said that it was a gift.
However, he had already turned around five or six courtyards, and he still didn't have a clue, walking and walking, he suddenly saw that the courtyard in front of him didn't look the same, because there were two guards guarding the courtyard at the door, Ye Xiaochen had an idea, and walked over with a bonsai.
"Stop, what are you doing?" The guards really stopped him, "Steward Xue asked me to send this bonsai to Miss's yard" Ye Xiaochen responded unhurriedly, and the two guards looked at Ye Xiaochen suspiciously at the same time, what is the situation? Exposed yourself?
"Boy, you're new here, Miss's courtyard is over there, this is the Tibetan Academy, go and go, don't come to entertain my brothers" One of the guards looked at Ye Xiaochen mockingly, and waved him away, "Big brother has good eyesight, I only entered the house yesterday, Brother Xie told me" Ye Xiaochen looked flattering, in exchange for the guard's hearty laughter, Ye Xiaochen's flattering smile turned around and became disdainful, and he secretly said in his heart that he had no brain, holding a good-looking bonsai and walking in the direction of the courtyard pointed by the guard.
Ye Xiaochen felt that the situation was not quite right, because there were two maids standing there at the gate of the courtyard, looking left and right, one of them suddenly saw Ye Xiaochen, and the dark color was relaxed, but Ye Xiaochen was nervous, what is the situation?
"Why are you so slow? Grinding, what are you doing in a daze, come in with me" A maid looked at Ye Xiaochen, full of complaints, Ye Xiaochen followed into the courtyard in a daze, Ye Xiaochen was still confused at this time, is there any misunderstanding here, but this can be regarded as a crooked fight, saving a lot of tongue.
Ye Xiaochen hugged the bonsai, followed the two maids to a two-story building, "You are waiting here" or the maid who complained before, kicking and kicking, the two of them went upstairs, Ye Xiaochen listened attentively, and could only vaguely hear some voices from a distance, as if it was shouting what Miss, something was delivered, Ye Xiaochen suddenly felt that something was wrong after hearing it, this bonsai was temporarily hugged by himself from the stone table, this is the rhythm of goofing, no, I have to slip away, Ye Xiaochen put the bonsai on the stone table in the courtyard, He touched the same stone table in the courtyard where he held the bonsai, and then he ran out of the yard, and after running a few steps, he remembered his purpose again, and looked left and right, and there were two dense bushes on the left side of the courtyard gate, and he trotted over and hid behind.
There was another sound of footsteps of "kicking and kicking", and three people came down from the second floor, Ye Xiaochen pushed aside the branches that were blocked, wanting to see the true face of the so-called Miss Xue Er, Ye Xiaochen scolded secretly in his heart, because he only saw the side faces of the two maids, and a slender back, well, the figure is not bad, but I don't know if it is Miss Xue Er, "Chunlan, where is my auspicious cloud?" "Ah, miss, the man did hold it just now, ah, there it is!" The maid looked left and right in a little panic, looking for Ye Xiaochen, or the bonsai that Ye Xiaochen was holding, and suddenly saw the bonsai on the stone table not far behind the young lady, where the bonsai was safely placed, and shouted excitedly...... The slender back finally turned around......
Am I dazzled? Ye Xiaochen rubbed his eyes again in disbelief, that's right, it's that familiar face, she is the second miss of the Xue family? The girl I was betrothed to? Hahaha, I'm really ...... Hahaha, Ye Xiaochen didn't know what he thought, and he actually laughed out loud......
"Who?!" The woman in white was startled, and the two maids also walked in front of the woman in white, looking around vigilantly, and the two maids approached in the direction of Ye Xiaochen step by step, walking very slowly......
Uh, I got carried away, it seemed that I couldn't hide it anymore, Ye Xiaochen slowly walked out from behind the bushes, "Uh, don't be nervous, it's me...... Small" Ye Xiaochen once again confirmed his current identity, and the woman in white looked at the black-faced man who walked out of the bushes, with an angry expression, "Who are you and why are you here?" The eyes that were also angry and angry, combined with the melon seed flour, made Ye Xiaochen stunned again, "Uh, this..." Ye Xiaochen, who reacted, hadn't thought of the wording yet, and the maid Chunlan over there relieved him of the siege, "Miss, he sent Xiangyun just now" "Yes, yes, it was sent by the small one" Ye Xiaochen hurriedly agreed, and the woman in white looked at Ye Xiaochen with a "lewd" look, full of disdain, "Then what are you doing hiding behind the bushes", Chunlan may have felt that it was a bit of a loss to help him break the siege, and he was pitted again, "Yes, What are you doing behind the bushes, do you have an ulterior secret?"
Auntie, where are you standing? Ye Xiaochen wailed in his heart, and began to perform:
"Miss Bing, the villain lives in the city of Kyoto, there are houses and fields at home, life is boundless, who knows that day is not merciful, it is brutal and merciless, the plague fell on my side, in order to cure the disease sold the field, the plague blackened my face, the whole family of six died, it happened that Xue Fu recruited workers, recruited me to come in to give food, I was grateful a hundred times, a hundred times..."
"Enough, although you are very pitiful, but I ask why you are hiding behind the bushes" The woman in white's tone had softened, and the two maids looked at him sympathetically, this subordinate is really pitiful!
Ye Xiaochen cried out in his heart, Xing Ye help!
