Chapter 13 The road is far away
Before dawn came, it was drizzling lightly outside the house, and the remnants of the water beads fell to the ground along the green eaves, Ye Tingxue woke up from the bed, looking at the foggy sky outside the window lattice, and the secluded courtyard became ethereal and ethereal like a cloud of smoke, which made people's hearts feel sad.
However, what the weather was did not affect Ye Tingxue's already hungry "goo" protesting stomach, she turned over from the bed, thinking that the sisters in the mansion should also come to ask her what she wanted to eat for breakfast at this hour.
Sure enough, as she expected, she was thinking about it, when she heard a knock on the door outside the house, "Second Miss, it's about to dawn, what do you want to eat for breakfast?" Do you want to drink white fungus lotus seed soup or eat some osmanthus cake? ”
Ye Tingxue thought seriously for a moment before she said in the direction of the door: "Sister, I want to eat the sugar cake that my sister often buys at the east end of the street." "Ye Tingxue has always called the maids in the house to be sisters, she is already cute and well-behaved, and she has no young lady's frame in front of the subordinates, and the subordinates in the mansion like her very much.
At this moment, Mo said that she just wanted to eat the sugar cake at the east end of the street, even if she wanted a table of delicacies from the mountains and seas, these maids could immediately ask the kitchen to make it for her.
"Got it, Second Miss, I'll go out and buy it for you in a while."
"Thank you, sister." Ye Tingxue sweetly thanked the maid outside the house, only to hear the maid's footsteps getting farther and farther away, and then got off the bed and put on her clothes.
She glanced at the silver lock she had placed beside her pillow, hesitated for a moment, and still reached out to pick it up and put it into her arms.
"Knock knock!" At the moment when she turned around, there was a sudden sound of knocking on the window lattice, not in a hurry, not in a hurry, not light, not heavy. But she subconsciously took two steps back, and in doing so, her legs hit the edge of the bed.
She felt the pain in the crook of her leg suddenly lose consciousness, and the pain spread, and she crouched down to try to relieve the pain by half a point, but the sound of banging on the window lattice sounded again.
"Who is it?" She raised her head a little timidly and looked in the direction of the window lattice, and asked, although she was a little scared at the moment, but it was the doubts that overpowered the fear in her heart.
"It's me." With such a familiar and clear voice, Ye Tingxue remembered it very clearly, she was overjoyed when she heard it, stood up, and staggered to the window, "Is it Brother Feng Que?" ”
"Do you remember my voice?" Ge Fengque was separated from her by a window, and Ye Tingxue naturally couldn't see his rather surprised expression at the moment.
"Ting Xue remembers." Ye Tingxue kept nodding on the window lattice, "Brother Feng Que, why did you come here?" Did my sister tell you that I wanted you to play with me? She thought it was because her sister Ye Shuangqing saw Ge Fengque in Lingyin Villa, so she passed the word on her behalf, and Ge Fengque would come to her.
Ge Fengque was stunned for a moment in the face of her question, not knowing how to answer her.
Before he came, he never thought that Ye Tingxue would let her sister come to Lingyin Villa to talk to him, if she knew at this moment that the real purpose of her coming here to find her was not to play with her, but to just want to take her away from here, then would she still be so close to herself?
Ge Fengque didn't dare to think about it, if Ye Tingxue knew the truth one day, would she never pay attention to herself again...... The sporadic warmth he had received from her feared that it would be shattered and shattered.
"Brother Feng Que? Are you still outside the house? Ye Tingxue saw that there had been no movement outside the house for a long time, and thought that Ge Fengque had left, so she hurriedly asked.
Ge Fengque was pulled back to her thoughts by her soft voice, and withdrew her gaze from the window lattice with some distraction, "I'm here." After a pause, "Ye Tingxue, you can open this window." ”
"Okay." Ye Tingxue listened to him, held on to the bookcase on the side, climbed on a chair and pushed the window open.
The moment the window lattice was pushed open by her little hand, Ge Fengque's eyebrows, eyes and face all appeared in front of her, she burst into a smile and called him loudly: "Brother Fengque." ”
Ge Fengque immediately turned his head to look around, very cautious, "Shhh, be quiet." Ge Fengque told her not to be too loud, so as not to disturb the housekeeper in the house, after all, those people did not know him, and he should not be caught as a thief later, and she would not see him at that time.
Ye Tingxue heard him say this, although she was a little puzzled, she immediately covered her small mouth with her hand, and shook her head towards Ge Fengque, indicating that she would not make a sound again.
Seeing her like this, Ge Feng couldn't help laughing, chuckled, and reached out to take her little hand off her mouth, "It doesn't have to be like this." He paused, "Your father asked me to pick you up." Ge Fengque made up a reason that was most convincing to Ye Tingxue, he just wanted to take Ye Tingxue out of the mansion as soon as possible, and if it was later, he should have been discovered.
"Daddy?" Ye Tingxue's eyes moved, "Daddy, has she forgiven Tingxue?" ”
"Yes, Uncle Ye, he forgave you." Ge Fengque continued to tell her, and he was also surprised at how he could lie so without blushing and heartbeat.
Ye Tingxue was very happy and nodded heavily, "Brother Feng Que, can you take me out?" Let's go to Daddy. ”
"Okay." Ge Fengque answered her, she should stand on the chair, and very close to the window, Ge Fengque almost reached out and passed through her armpits, and easily carried her out of the house.
"Thank you, Brother Feng Que." Ye Tingxue was held in his arms, looked at his trembling eyelashes, and thanked him with a smile, "Brother, let me down, I can go by myself." ”
"It's okay, I'll carry you out of the house and talk about it." Ge Fengque held her up, so that she could do it faster, "Ye Tingxue, do you know that the back door of your Ye Clan's mansion is open at this time?" He couldn't perform light skills while holding Ye Tingxue, so he had to walk out of the back door.
"I don't know, but at this time, the sisters in the house have started to work, and they should go out through the back door." Ye Tingxue replied word by word.
Ge Feng nodded shortly, said no more, and carried her all the way in the direction she came, and hid two maids who avoided the mansion on the way.
In fact, with his age and physical strength at this time, although Ye Tingxue was young, it was a little difficult to walk with her, but fortunately he was able to persevere, and after walking for a long time, he arrived at the back door of Ye's mansion.
"Brother Feng Que, look, this back door is open." Ye Tingxue's face was innocent, and she pointed to the open back door in front of her, "Brother, let's go quickly." Ye Tingxue urged him, thinking that she wanted to see her father soon.
But if she goes out of this door, she will not go to see her father, but to say goodbye to her father.
He deliberately slowed down his steps, and didn't care if anyone would find them at the moment, he only hoped that Ye Tingxue could stay here for a while, even if it was for a moment. It was as if this would dissipate some of the guilt and guilt in his heart.
But this road will eventually come to an end, and no one will find them when they leave the house.
Ge Fengque began to look around for Qingyang's traces, at first he didn't see his figure, just when he secretly thought that Qingyang had left them here, a whistle suddenly sounded not far away, Ge Fengque raised his eyes, and saw Qingyang driving a carriage to stop at the entrance of the market.
Qingyang sat on the horse, withdrew the wooden whistle that rested on his lips, beckoned to him, and motioned for him to take Ye Tingxue over.
"Brother Feng Que, is that person greeting you? Do you know him? Ye Tingxue looked at Qingyang not far away, and then moved her gaze back to Ge Fengque's face.
"He's the groom of Lingyin Villa, and he's here to pick us up to see your father." Ge Fengque had already walked to the carriage before he spoke, and he handed Qingyang a look, signaling Qingyang not to say that he had missed his mouth.
"Song Gongzi, Miss Ye, let's go." Qingyang understood, so he jumped off his horse and greeted them into the carriage.
After Ge Fengque carried Ye Tingxue into the carriage, he also wanted to follow into the carriage and sit down, not wanting to be pulled by Qingyang's arm, "You go and put her to sleep." Qingyang glanced inside the carriage and deliberately lowered his voice to talk to him.
Ge Fengque looked at him and didn't say much, after all, he had to follow Qingyang's words to get to this point.
He got into the carriage and sat down beside Ye Tingxue, "It's about to dawn, and you'll see your father later." After Ge Fengque finished saying this, he found that his palms were actually covered with a layer of fine beads of sweat, he rested his hands on his legs, and pretended to unintentionally wipe the beads of sweat off with his clothes.
He didn't know what Qingyang was going to do next, but he could feel that Qingyang wouldn't harm them.
He thought that although he had deceived Ye Tingxue in this matter, in the days to come, he only needed to treat her sincerely, protect her everywhere, and believe that she would grow up safely
"Hmm." Ye Tingxue nodded obediently, she sat down by the car window, lifted the curtain, the sky was slightly bright, and the light rain had stopped, "But, I'm so hungry, I haven't eaten the sugar cakes bought by my sister in the house today." She said, pouting.
Ge Fengque remembered that he had indeed heard the maid say that he was going to buy sugar cakes for her, so he opened his mouth to ask Qingyang if he wanted to pass through the east end of the street, and could he buy a sugar cake for Ye Tingxue to fill his stomach.
"It's not impossible to buy a sugar cake." Qingyang agreed, raised his horsewhip and galloped away.
When he reached the east end of the street, he stopped not far from the sugar cake stall and dismounted to buy sugar cakes for Ye Tingxue.
Ye Tingxue saw that the carriage stopped, so she curiously pulled the curtain and looked out, just in time to see Qingyang walking towards a stall, her eyes followed Qingyang's figure, but she didn't want to see the sister in the house.
"Brother Feng Que, I saw my sister in the house." As soon as she turned around and said this to Ge Fengque, Ge Fengque immediately sat down beside her and lowered the curtain again, for fear that she would make a noise or the maid would see her at a glance.
"What's wrong with Brother Feng Que? I haven't said hello to my sister yet. Ye Tingxue was puzzled by Ge Fengque's movements.
"If you say hello, then my sister will definitely come to talk to you, and you will delay the effort to find your father, what if Uncle Ye gets angry again?" He held her little hand and placed it on his knee, "Obedient, we're on our way." ”
Ye Tingxue immediately became well-behaved when she heard the words that her father was going to be angry, although she seemed to understand what Ge Fengque said, she also followed it.
"Here, catch." At this time, Qingyang jumped into the carriage, the sugar cake was pinched in his hand and handed to the carriage, he didn't lean into the carriage to see, only stretched out his hand to go in, "Eat quickly, while it's hot." ”
Ge Fengque caught the sugar cake wrapped in oiled paper, and stuck it hot in his palm, he carefully tore the oiled paper layer by layer, folded it, and handed it to Ye Tingxue, "Eat, didn't you say you're hungry?" ”
Ye Tingxue smelled the aroma of this sugar cake, her index finger moved, and she took a big bite when she took it, "It's delicious!" ”
Ge Fengque saw her smiling like a flower, eating her favorite sugar cake so carefree, and she couldn't bear it, so she didn't turn her head and looked out of the car window.
Feeling the carriage gradually departing from Chaoyun City, but the place where they will settle in the future is still unknown, the road ahead is boundless, everything is unknown, everything is variable.
