Chapter 22: Dodge

In the evening, as soon as Yu Qingtan came back from outside the mansion, Qiao Yu greeted him.

"Lady, where have you been today? Why haven't you been in the house all day? ”

Yu Qingtan replied lightly, "There are a few of our shops in the capital, and I went to check the accounts today." ”

"But it's not usually sent by the shopkeeper in person, and it's not appropriate for the lady to go in person." As he spoke, Qiao Yu stepped forward and pulled Guo Qingtan's hand.

Yu Qingtan pulled out his hand, "It's getting late, has Master Hou had dinner?" ”

"Not yet, waiting for the lady." Qiao Yu noticed that Yu Qingtan's face was too flat, but he didn't know why.

Today, the people in the mansion all looked at him with strange expressions, and even Mu Mu had a look of wanting to say goodbye.

Yu Qingtan groaned: "Today in the outer world, the concubine and a few shopkeepers have already eaten."

"Lady, are you unhappy?" Qiao Yu asked out loud.

Mu Mu was finally happy for his grandfather, and Qiao Yu finally saw it.

Yu Qingtan shook his head, "Master Hou may have seen it wrong, let's go to dinner." ”

The words fell on Yu Qingtan and walked straight ahead.

Qiao Yu followed.

"Madame, are you back? Need a meal? Hong Qiao and Lu Jian ran to Yu Qingtan and asked.

Yu Qingtan shook his head, "I have already eaten outside, you can serve the Hou Ye to eat." ”

"Yes, the slave and maid obeyed."

After that, Hong Qiao walked up to Qiao Yu with a smile, "Master Hou, Madam asked me and my sister to serve you for dinner, you can go to the flower hall to eat first." ”

Qiao Yu stretched out his hand and grabbed Yu Qingtan's sleeve, "Lady, you can eat with Ben Hou, if you don't eat with Ben Hou, you won't eat Ben Hou." ”

"Today, the concubines are a little tired, you can let them serve you." After that, Yu Qingtantou would not leave quickly.

Qiao Yu suddenly remembered Yu Qian's old fox's ill-intentioned smile today.

He couldn't help but wonder a little, what did he make his own lady unhappy?

In the evening, Red Pretty and Green Tip entered Qiao Yu and Yu Qingtan's bedroom.

"Master Hou, my sister and I have come to serve you and Mrs. Hong Qiao twisted her waist and walked to Qiao Yu's side.

She changed into a cyan dress, a thin layer of outer shirt, and she could see her graceful figure.

Lu Shao stood aside, only bowed his head and followed Hong Qiao, and did not walk to Qiao Yu's side.

The painting screen was about to open her mouth to scold, but she saw Yu Qingtan shaking her head at her, and immediately said to Hong Qiao: "I am a little tired today and want to rest, you serve the Hou Ye."

"Yes!" Hong Qiao happily poured a cup of tea for Qiao Yu, "Master Hou, Madam is going to rest, you see that the sky is just sunny at night, let's go to the flower hall to drink tea." ”

Qiao Yu looked at Yu Qingtan with an indifferent expression, shook his head and said, "How can there be a room in the flower hall."

"That'...... Let's go to our room for a drink and have a chat. Hong Qiao reached out and pulled Qiao Yu's sleeve.

Qiao Yu suddenly raised his eyes, his phoenix eyes were cold, "Ben Hou doesn't like others to touch Ben Hou the most, didn't my sister teach you the rules of serving people?" ”

"It's the slaves and maids who are not good, and I ask Master Hou to forgive me." Green Shoots hurriedly knelt down.

Hong Qiao threw a wink, "Master Hou, it's the slave and maid who are wrong, don't be angry, you come to the slave maid's room, and the slave and maid will prepare some wine and food for you to make amends." ”

"There is no need to make amends, and there is nothing to do, so if there is nothing to do, you can retreat."

Green Tip bowed slightly, indicating "Yes." With that, Green Tree motioned for Red Qiao to leave, but Red Qiao ignored it.

Green Shoots had no choice but to leave first.

Yu Qingtan saw it in his eyes, and only felt a feeling of boredom in his heart, "I am a little tired today, if Master Hou feels tired, he will go outside to rest." ”

Qiao Yu didn't expect Yu Qingtan to drive him out to sleep, he felt that the matter was a bit big.

He was about to step forward to ask why, but saw that the picture screen and the firefly were immediately standing in front of him.

"Master Hou, if you don't leave, we're going to come hard!" The picture screen finally seized the opportunity and crossed his waist.

Qiao Yu looked at Yu Qingtan with a gloomy face, hesitated for a moment and left the room.

Hong Qiao followed, "Master Hou, the slave maid has prepared some wine and food, you can go to the slave maid's house, since the lady is so incomprehensible, why should you be angry." ”

"I just think you're noisy." Qiao Yu continued to walk forward and came to the wing.

Hong Qiao saw the opportunity and hurriedly leaned in front of Qiao Yu.

Qiao Yu stepped back, his face full of disgust, "I can't even stand steadily, and I don't know how my sister usually teaches you." ”

Hong Qiao fell to the ground solidly, inhaling in pain.

"You'd better go back, you don't have to serve Ben Hou." With that, Qiao Yu waved his hand, and an internal force pushed Hong Qiao out of the room.

Mu Mu stood aside and watched, but did not speak.

Qiao Yu couldn't help it, and asked Mu Mu out loud, "Did you say that Ben Hou offended the lady somewhere?" ”

"My subordinates don't know." Mu Mu shook his head.

He was still angry because of this, today he originally wanted to make it clear to his grandfather, but the two women had been following Qiao Yu, and Qiao Yu was happy to take them to familiarize themselves with the location of the mansion.

Later, he got angry and didn't bother to care, so he let his own Hou Ye suffer.

Naun-in

As soon as Ning Ling entered the room, he saw Yu Qian going to bed and preparing to rest.

On weekdays, Yu Qian sleeps on the couch, and Ning Ling sleeps on the bed.

Yu Qian lay down on the couch, but Ning Ling walked to the edge of the couch and asked hesitantly: "Husband, I heard people say today that you and your brother-in-law openly robbed two women in the palace, can there be such a thing?"

"Who spread this rumor?" Yu Qian sat up unhappily.

Ning Ling thought about the situation when she went out to shop today, and muttered: "Now that others have spread it in private, I'm afraid everyone in the whole capital knows about it."

"Hmph, that Qiao Yu is a bad spirit!"

Ning Ling sighed, "Are you really openly robbing beauties with him in the palace?" ”

"I didn't see those two women clearly, he wanted to take those two women back to the house, but I stopped him, and he quibbled with me, and now he provoked my sister to ignore him all day, and he deserved it." After speaking, Yu Qian was a little disgusted with his schadenfreude, it was his own sister.

After listening to Yu Qian's explanation, Ning Ling secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, "Husband, the concubine heard that these two women were given by Concubine Ruan, and the concubine wanted them to serve Tan'er, and personally brought the two women to familiarize themselves with the location in the mansion, if the concubine guessed correctly, the concubine actually didn't know the reason why Concubine Ruan gave these two beauties, if he knew, he wouldn't have bothered so much, after all, he is now living in the Taifu Mansion." ”

"He's always been so high-profile." Yu Qian snorted coldly.

"But the way he looks at Tan'er will not be fake, today in the mansion, I inadvertently watched him talking to Tan'er, it was completely like I didn't know Concubine Ruan's intentions." Ning Ling pondered.

Yu Qian shook his head, "Don't talk about that fox spirit, you will work hard tomorrow to persuade my sister, so that she will not be angry, and you are the only one in the house who can talk to her about herself, she and Lan'er have never been close." ”

"Well, the concubine is naturally going."

Yu Qian nodded with satisfaction, "Then you rest early." ”

Ning Ling glanced at Yu Qian, and silently turned around and went to the bed.

Yu Qian looked at the figure through the screen for a long time, then turned around and closed his eyes.

……

The next day, early in the morning

Yu Qingtan got up and saw the green shoots standing behind the painting screen.

The painting screen thought for a while and asked aloud: "Madam, do you want to wait for your uncle to have breakfast together, or do you want to have breakfast in advance?"

Yu Qingtan's eyes sank, "Let's have breakfast in advance." ”

After the words fell, he looked up at the green and asked, "What about the red girl?" Why didn't you see her? ”

"Mrs. Hui, Sister Hongqiao fell last night, let the slave come to take a leave."

"Wasn't she okay when she left?" Picture Screen couldn't help but ask.

Lu Shao replied respectfully, "Last night, Sister Hong Qiao fell in Hou Ye's room, and later seemed to be accidentally injured by Hou Ye's internal force when she went out. ”

"Hmph, this is the end of seducing my uncle." Ryu Hotaru walked into the room with hot water.

Green Tree bowed his head slightly, but did not speak.

Yu Qingtan said: "Paint the screen, you go get some trauma medicine and send it to Hongqiao."

"Yes." Picture screen nodded in response.

After the painting screen left, Lu Shao suddenly knelt on the ground, "Madam, the slave maid just wants to live in peace, and she doesn't want to be a concubine, and she begs the lady to give her a shelter. ”

"You're thinking through it." Liuying said appreciatively.

Yu Qingtan looked at the green shoots for a long time before slowly stretching out his hand, "Actually, you don't have to be like this, you are sent by Concubine Ruan, if the Hou Ye wants to accept you as a house-filler, it is actually easy, so why should you surrender your identity as a slave and a maid." ”

"Slaves don't dare." Lu Shao can see through it, Qiao Yu actually has a heart for Qingtan, and Qiao Yu is now in the Taifu Mansion, her identity is different, if she wants to get a piece of the pie, I am afraid it will be even more difficult.

Yu Qingtan's eyes darkened slightly, "You get up first, since you ask for it, you can go to Baikeju to live temporarily." ”

"Thank you, ma'am." Green Tree hurriedly bowed his head and thanked him.

After the green shoots left, the painting screen thought about it and said out loud: "That green shoots girl has a little eyesight, I'm afraid, I'm afraid, she has some crooked thoughts, pretending to flatter the young lady."

"If she really doesn't have any thoughts, she will invite herself out of the house, and I will also pity her for a hard time, and send her to be entangled, so that she will not worry for the rest of her life! But she didn't mention the house for half a minute, preferring to be a slave and a maid in the house. Yu Qingtan said and sighed lightly.

It seems that her life will not be so easy in the future.

Liuying gritted her teeth, "I don't know what my uncle thinks, the words are so good when I get married, but after I get married, I feel like I've changed a person." ”

Yu Qingtan's eyes were dark, if Qiao Yu accepted them, then she would not take care of the friendship between husband and wife!

He was the first to repent!

After breakfast, Ning Ling came to the courtyard to visit the door.

Seeing Ning Ling, Yu Qingtan was a little curious about how Ning Ling got along with his brother.

Ning Ling and Yu Qian have not known each other for a long time, her brother is emotionally a wooden character, and her sister-in-law is a docile and well-behaved character, and the two of them get together, which really makes her curious.

"Did I come to disturb Tan'er?" Ning Ling smiled and picked up the slave who was lying on the ground leisurely and asked.

Yu Qingtan shook his head, remembering that in recent days, his brother would take Ning Ling out of the house whenever he was free, and asked out loud: "I'm also idle and bored, my sister-in-law should be familiar with the capital well in recent days, right?"

Ning Ling's face was slightly red, "Well, your brother will take me to familiarize myself with the capital when he has time, and now I can almost know the way." ”

"That's good, it looks like I'm one step closer to my little nephew." Yu Qingtan quipped.

Ning Ling shook his head, "Don't make fun of your sister-in-law, I got up early today, and when I watched Hou Ye leave the mansion, my expression was different, and I heard the people in the mansion spread all over the house, Hou Ye spent the night in the wing, but really?" ”

"Hmm." Yu Qingtan nodded, but the expression on his face was a little indifferent.
