Chapter 223: Sneaking Out of the House
Qi Muyuan played with Ye Ying for a while, and when he saw that she was tired, he put the rope aside and only talked to her.
"How about going to Shen Yuan with me the day after tomorrow?"
"The day after tomorrow?"
Ye Ying's eyes moved slightly, and she glanced out, "I'm still thinking about it behind closed doors, where can I go out casually." ”
"We sneak out."
Qi Muyuan blinked softly, and the curvature of the corners of his lips gradually expanded, "Don't worry, the people in your courtyard don't dare to talk much, the day after tomorrow, I also invited Mrs. Lin to visit the old lady, and she won't think of you." ”
In this way, Qi Qiao'er was also grounded, and others did not dare to visit her during her grounding.
Ye Ying's eyes slowly lit up.
That seems to be a lot of fun too.
She immediately said, "Okay, then I will go out with you the day after tomorrow, but you must arrange everything properly, otherwise I will not want to go." ”
"Don't worry, you won't be able to find out."
Qi Muyuan pinched her nose, and the two of them laughed together.
Sneaking like this, I always feel like I'm doing something wrong, but I feel that it's exciting and happy.
Two days later, the two of them sneaked out of the back door.
Turning her head to look at the door behind her, Ye Ying couldn't help laughing, and said to Qi Muyuan: "It's obviously your own home, but you still have to do it secretly like this." ”
"There are too many rules in my own home."
Qi Muyuan took her hand and walked towards the carriage, "Let's go, let's go listen to the play and enjoy it today, the master won't appear until the afternoon." ”
Ye Ying nodded indifferently and followed him into the carriage.
At this time, no one in the mansion knew that she was going out, except for the people in her yard.
The two of them came all the way to Shen Yuan.
Again, the mood is different from the last time.
Ye Ying went to see the play again, and she also saw something different.
She leaned on Qi Muyuan's ear and said softly: "You said before that this scene is the true story of the master of this Shen Garden, so this ......"
"We'll find out later."
Qi Muyuan tilted his head and whispered: "But the play is a play after all, there are some traces of adaptation, who knows what the real thing is." ”
Ye Ying nodded lightly, didn't intervene again, and watched the play quietly.
They had lunch in Shen Yuan.
After a short time in the hall in the afternoon, the master of Shen Yuan appeared in the hall.
is different from Ye Ying's imagination, this person is neither gentle and elegant, nor arrogant or the like, it seems that he is just an ordinary literati.
There was also a girl beside him, who was delicate and lovely, with a pair of eyes that were very smart, just one glance made Ye Ying full of good feelings.
After the two of them came in, they saluted Qi Muyuan and Ye Ying.
Qi Muyuan introduced: "This is the owner of Shen Yuan, Gu Lin, and next to him is his sister, Gu Xin. ”
The owner of Shen Yuan was not surnamed Shen.
A surprise flashed in Ye Ying's heart, and there was no emotion on the side.
After the two of them took their seats, Gu Lin talked to Qi Muyuan familiarly.
Gu Xin jumped to Ye Ying's side, sat down next to her, and said with a smile: "You are so good-looking." ”
This meeting was a boast, which made Ye Ying embarrassed.
Gu Xin said again: "Do you have a bad relationship with that princess?" ”
Ye Ying couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, she didn't expect her to ask so directly.
She didn't know how to answer, so she just asked; "She's been here?"
"Yes, I came here two days ago, and I asked about you."
Gu Xin smiled lightly and took a sip of the teacup, "But she doesn't know my identity, I'm just playful for a while, pretending to be a maid and walking around the garden, I met her, to be honest, she doesn't give a good impression." ”
Ye Ying understood.
When the woman saw that Gu Xin was just a maid, she naturally wouldn't bother much, and her attitude would inevitably be worse.
However, she didn't understand Gu Xin's intention to say this, and glanced in the direction of Qi Muyuan and Gu Lin, and saw that they didn't pay attention to this side, so she was perfunctory.
Gu Xin didn't talk about it anymore, but when they were about to leave, Gu Xin suddenly grabbed the corner of Ye Ying's clothes and said, "Can you allow Xin'er to live with you?" ”
"Xin'er!"
Gu Lin frowned and scolded, pulled her behind him, and then apologized to Ye Ying and Qi Muyuan: "I'm very sorry, she has always been spoiled by me, and she is used to going straight to the past, and I hope the general and his wife will not blame." ”
"It doesn't matter."
Ye Ying chuckled, looked at Gu Xin's eyes with a look of disappointment, hesitated, and still didn't say anything.
The two got into the carriage together, Ye Ying gently leaned on Qi Muyuan's body, and saw Gu Xin's smart eyes through the gap in the curtain.
She said softly: "You say, why did Gu Xin say that he wanted to stay in the General's Mansion?" ”
"I don't know."
Qi Muyuan shook his head and adjusted her posture to make her lean more comfortably, "But if you are bored and like her, then it is okay to let her come in and accompany you." ”
"Forget it."
Ye Ying smiled and closed her eyes slightly.
There are enough women in the house, and if there is one more, I don't know what it will become, and she doesn't want to worry about these trivial matters anymore.
Back at the General's Mansion, they got out of the carriage and quietly entered the mansion through the back door.
Qi Muyuan sent Ye Ying to the courtyard, but heard the sound of an argument in the courtyard.
The two looked at each other and walked around cautiously.
In front of Ye Ying's door, her personal maid was confronting the maid in the old lady's room.
"Madame is resting, and when she wakes up, I will naturally tell her about it, and ask my sister to go back first."
"The old lady is waiting to see the lady, that is, she is asleep, the old lady calls her, and the lady should get up immediately, you have been hiding here for so long, isn't the lady not there?"
"Sister, what are you talking about, Mrs. has been ordered by the old lady to think about it behind closed doors, where do you dare to go out at will."
"Then you let me in and have a look."
As she spoke, the maid was about to rush inside.
Ye Ying frowned and gestured to Qi Muyuan.
The latter nodded, wrapped his arms around her waist, and led her into the room.
"You go out first, I can handle it here."
Ye Ying pushed Qi Muyuan, took off her cloak and threw it aside, and the person walked out.
Qi Muyuan glanced at her back, didn't say anything, and then turned out the window again.
Outside the door, the two maids were still arguing and persistent.
Ye Ying straightened her clothes and opened the door.
The two maids outside the door were stunned, and they all turned their heads back.
"Ma'am."
Ye Ying's little maid called her in surprise, hurriedly walked to her side, and quickly said in her ear: "The old lady invited you over and said that she would talk to Mrs. Lin about Miss Qi." ”
Ye Ying nodded quietly, looked at the maid standing in front of her, narrowed her eyes, and scolded coldly: "Are you guilty of making such a loud noise in front of my door?" ”
