Chapter 18: Exceeding the Rules
Yan Yu saw through Yan Yan when he saw his careful thoughts, and asked so bluntly, although he was dissatisfied in his heart, but after weighing it, he still couldn't resist his desire for the leader.
Therefore, she soon put on a smiling face, and also squatted down and hugged Yan Yan's shoulders and said coquettishly: "Eldest sister, I really can't hide anything from the eldest sister, the eldest sister who knows me, the eldest sister, it's better to do this, you can help me make a poem this year, no embroidery, you hand over a good embroidery to the queen mother, so that the two of us sisters may be able to take the first place." ”
Yan Yan shook his head, seeing that the other party didn't understand what he meant, he wrote on the ground: "I won't go, and the old lady won't let me go." ”
"Why?" Yan Tong asked.
Yan Yan smiled slightly and continued: "I don't want to be bored. ”
Yan Yu's face was overjoyed when he saw these words, and he immediately smiled, "That being said, the eldest sister might as well give me another piece of embroidery, not too big, just a fan, if it really doesn't work, the eldest sister will paint the painting for me, and I will embroider it myself." ”
Yan Yan glanced at the other party with slanted eyes, and was about to refuse, when a thought suddenly flashed in her mind, she wanted to see who this Yan Yu was in love with, and she would rather risk cheating than get this leader.
After a little hesitation, she nodded, but she only promised to paint for the other party, but the poem did not.
Seeing this, Yan Yu immediately wanted to pull Yan Yan back to the room, Yan Yan then wrote a few words, saying that he was going to find two books, and he would send someone to send her the patterns in the afternoon.
"Then I'll be with you." Yan Yu enthusiastically helped Yan Yan to stand up and climbed a few steps to stand in front of the door of the library building.
The library building of the Yan family is a five-story building with a mixed structure of stone and wood, from the outside, the outer wall of the first floor is made of stones, and then it is made of wooden planks, the construction area of the whole house should not be large, from the front, it is about ten meters long, about five or six meters wide, the door is a double wooden door, it looks very thick, there are two iron rings on the door, there is no lock, Yan Yan pushed it gently, but there was no push, and then a little harder, then the door was pushed open.
Inside, there is a hall the size of a modern classroom, with rows of bookshelves full of books, and in front of each bookshelf there is a small wooden ladder for fetching books.
Yan Yan stepped forward and touched it, and saw that the ladder and bookshelves were very clean, almost dusty, it should be that someone often came to clean them, and turned the bookshelf to the other wall, except for the window, Yan Yan saw a small door as he wished, and there was a deadbolt on the small door, which was currently plugged in.
So, Yan Yan set his eyes on a few windows on the wall, the windows were very small, and there were wooden ridges on them, not to mention adult men, even five or six-year-old children could not climb in.
Therefore, the person named Lu You came in from the back door if he didn't come in through the gate, in other words, someone may have deliberately opened the back door or opened the subordinates on duty in front.
Seeing that Yan Yan's eyes fell on the small door, Yan Yu guessed that Yan Yan's move was not to find a book, but to verify the events of that day.
"Eldest sister, my mother has punished several mothers-in-law on duty that day, according to one mother-in-law, this back door is a piece of reeds, there are a lot of wild ducks in the reeds, they will often pass through this small door to pick up wild duck eggs, maybe they just forgot to tie the door that day, no one would have thought that someone would pass through the reeds." Yan Yu explained as he stepped forward and opened the deadbolt.
The small gate was pushed open, and there was indeed a path out, and beyond that, there was a small wooden bridge, and indeed there were indeed dense reeds on both sides, and indeed a few wild ducks fluttering in the reeds.
Yan Yan would have already remembered that the original owner had indeed encountered such a thing twice, and he had sat in front of the upstairs window more than once and looked at this reed.
Therefore, with this small door alone, Yan Yan couldn't be sure of anything at all, not to mention that the Ma clan had already taken the first step to attack these people.
In this way, she was passive, because she not only alarmed the people behind the scenes, but also offended the hostess of the mansion, and it would be more difficult to live in the mansion in the future.
"Eldest sister, do you still hate that eldest son of the Lu family?" Yan Tong saw that Yan Yan was distracted and asked.
"What do you mean by that, Third Miss?" Qing He asked for Yan Yan.
Yan Tong didn't annoy Qinghe's overstep, "It's nothing, I heard from my mother last night that the eldest son of the Lu family is actually very pitiful, he can't speak since he was a child, and he just bumped into this kind of thing when he went out to a party for the first time." He said that if the eldest sister became a monk, he would build a thatched house near the nunnery to accompany the eldest sister, and if the eldest sister was looking for death, he would never live, and if the eldest sister wanted to marry, he would give away all his net worth, and said that if the eldest sister married him, he would be good to the eldest sister for the rest of his life, so he was not a bad person. ”
Qinghe obviously didn't expect Yan Tong's position to change so quickly, last night she was trying to persuade her young lady to marry Lu Shizi, who knew that she changed her mind overnight.
So, her eyes widened, and her face was full of resentment, "He is pitiful, our young lady is not pitiful?" Also, what does it matter to our young lady whether she marries or not, he... ”
Yan Yan smiled and stopped Qing He, she understood Yan Tong very well, she was simple and kind in nature, there was no concept of right and wrong, good and evil, and her compassion was overflowing when she heard that others were suffering and suffering.
"Eldest sister, the third sister has always spoken unintentionally, you know, she has always admired these talented people, yesterday I saw the eldest son of the Lu family writing a rather graceful willow font, and then heard his life experience, a lot of sighs, said that the eldest son of the Lu family is a poor person, and also, there is no less praise for him is a person who values love and righteousness." Yan Yu smiled and glanced at Qing He and said.
Qing He realized that he had exceeded the rules, but he quickly bent down, "The slave has exceeded the rules, please punish the second and third misses." ”
"What did Sister Qinghe say? The eldest sister can't speak, the eldest sister doesn't think more clearly than you, you are asking for the eldest sister, what is the crime? Yan Yu stepped forward and helped Qinghe.
"Eldest sister, I really think that the eldest son of the Lu family is good, but the eldest sister is still a little worse." Yan Tong also realized that he was talking too much, squeezed his eyebrows at Yan Yan, and said with a smile.
Yan Yan also smiled, she could understand Yan Tong, and she sincerely accepted this sister, but she really didn't let down her guard against Yan Yu.
"Okay, let's not talk about this, eldest sister, are you really looking for any books, you are not in good health, it is better for you to write it out, and we will find it for you." Yan Yu changed the subject.
Yan Yan shook his head, pointed to the small door, ordered Qinghe to step forward and tie it up, turned around and walked to a row of bookshelves to take a closer look.
