+++++++++++++++++++ you love me (X) (above) the dividing line

The subordinates of Baihuatang all knew that the third young master had a habit of cleanliness, and as soon as he arrived, he prepared bath water for him on the fire in his courtyard for the two children in the general corner to watch. Because most of the people in Baihuatang are women, Xinjie, in order to avoid suspicion, has set up rules since he took over the affairs of Baihuatang, dividing the courtyard where everyone rests into four floors, and the innermost is the children under the age of three and the women who take care of them; The second floor is a young woman; The third layer is boys under the age of 10 and middle-aged and elderly women; The fourth floor is for men over the age of 10 and visitors. His subordinates, including himself, lived on the outermost fourth floor, and could not enter the inner courtyard after dark without special reasons.

Because he was in a hurry tomorrow morning, he hurriedly freshened up and sent a few pieces of today's information, and just turned two pages, he saw that Wang Yuecheng, who had just stayed behind, came back.

Wang Yuecheng is a veteran and hears everything clearly before coming back. I heard that she was the niece of the queen's mother's family, and in order to help her father recruit talents, he was a little surprised. He knew about the situation of the Lan family, and he had also heard of Yiyi's cousin. The Lan family hid her purpose back then, and he also understood it, but he didn't expect it to happen like this.

"This Miss Lan family is indeed outstanding, and she dares to send someone to follow us like this today, she is also capable and bold." Wang Yuecheng said while carefully thinking about whether there was anything wrong with his actions before and after today, which would bring unnecessary trouble to Xinjie.

"What the Lan family needs now is not boldness, but prudence." Xinjie said lightly: "Rashly let people follow us, this is to meet us, if you meet someone with ulterior motives, you are still happy to count the money if you are sold." Lan Banghua has been a foreign officer all these years, and naturally he has cleverly avoided the whirlpool of competition for the capital, but he has also been marginalized and unable to enter the center of power. On the surface, he looks peaceful, but he is really anxious inside. Since his nephew became the crown prince, he has become more and more anxious, testing Yiyi in various ways, openly and secretly hinting that Yiyi will help him enter the cabinet and take charge of the center. It's a pity that his intelligence is far inferior to that of Qi Ge Lao and his subordinates, and the suppressed vanity that he shows from time to time has already missed out on the pillars of the country in Yiyi's heart, but because he is his own uncle, he has placed a governor of Zhili, who does not need great talent, but needs loyal people.

Now the emperor's body bones don't know how long he can survive, any slightest disturbance in the capital will attract all kinds of suspicion and trouble, if it is not for the trust of the queen mother and Yiyi, Xinjie would rather stay in Kansai or wander the rivers and lakes, and will never want to stay in the capital, in case one day he sleeps and is sold by someone who does not know. When this kind of storm is coming, a young lady of the Lan family is recruiting talents outside, saying that it is nice to hear that the girl is filial and knows to assist her father, to put it to the extreme, the Lan family even knows how to recruit talents with a boudoir lady, it must not be simple, and she doesn't know what she is planning. What can be plotted? A queen's family, the emperor is weak, the prince is the auxiliary government, and if the prince is not in a hurry, it will make countless people lose their heads.

"So the old man said that beautiful women are not smart, and it is rare to be beautiful if they are smart. The more beautiful it is, the bigger the heart. As Wang Yuecheng was talking, he saw Gao Yuer walking in with a food box, he looked at Xinjie, and saw him frowning slightly. Xinjie has always been very cautious when he comes to Baihuatang, lest he bring any reputation damage to the eldest girl and little daughter-in-law here, so in addition to living in the outer courtyard of the guest room, he also requires that his living and eating do not need to be interfered with by women, and after dusk, no matter how old or young, women are not allowed to enter his courtyard. This Gao Yu'er almost grew up watching her, and because of Gui Beiyan's relationship, everyone in Baihuatang was more tolerant of her. A few years ago, when she was young, no one restricted her when she ran around in various yards. Especially every time Xinjie comes, she is free to come and go. In those years, everyone thought she was childish, maybe she just thought it was fun. It's just that Xinjie hasn't come to Luoyang Baihuatang for three years, and Gao Yuer has also become a plump girl.

"If a woman's heart is too big, she will be selfish and go to extremes." Xinjie frowned and looked at Gao Yu'er who came in, this girl did not shy away from talking to Wang Yuecheng, nor did she retreat because his face had gradually become cold, and she did not wake up because he said Lan Ruoxue's words to implicit her, making him feel that it was not worth saving face for her.

When Gao Yu'er put the food box on the table, and was about to talk to San Shao with a charming and coquettish face, she suddenly looked up and saw his cold expression, and couldn't help but take two steps back in fright.

Wang Yuecheng hurriedly said: "Miss Yu'er, put down the things and go out quickly." The young master had already explained that no women were allowed in his courtyard after dusk, even your mother. Even if the master of Guitang has something, he will ask the young master to go outside and say it. ”

Xinjie looked at Wang Yuecheng gently, This senior brother of the Qishan faction is becoming more and more proficient. consciously and willingly being a villain, avoiding the embarrassment between him and Gui Beiyan caused by his intervention in dealing with Gao Yuer.

"People just haven't seen the young master for three years, Yu'er admires the young master very much, and since she was a child, she has treated the young master as a powerful and capable brother, I haven't seen her for two or three years, I want to see how my brother is, I haven't thought that I am a woman." Although Gao Yuer has a bad temper, she is not stupid, so she hurriedly rounded her words. Xinjie didn't want to expose her, but said lightly: "It's only this once, don't take it as an example, it's not good if people say that I'm making an exception because of your mother's favoritism." Give the food to the servant, go back and rest early, we have something to do here. ”

Although it was extremely light, she didn't mean to blame her, and Gao Yu'er felt a burst of secret joy in her heart. The three young people in Baihuatang have always been clear about rewards and punishments, and those who break the rules will be punished. It's really unprecedented, is he really in his eyes? The little girl thought as she walked, and a smile unconsciously hung on the corner of her mouth.

Just when she turned into the three-story courtyard, she bumped into a mother-in-law who came out of it, and when she looked at the clothes, she knew that it was the woman in charge of the miscellaneous work in Baihuatang. The woman went to the outer courtyard with a food box in her hand.

"Stop, who are you for?" Gao Yuer is used to being arrogant because her mother is the hall master, especially when she treats her subordinates, she is even more arrogant and rude. The woman went back to take care of her grandson because she was in a hurry to finish her work, and when she met Gao Yu'er, who was domineering, she could only consider herself unlucky, and said honestly: "This is the porridge and side dishes that the hall master ordered to prepare for the three young people. Because Sanshao came in late, the fire had been extinguished in the big kitchen, which was made by the hall master himself at his own expense. Because it was late, the little ones couldn't get into the courtyard, so I asked me to give it to the pantry here. ”

"Give me something." The portion she just now was secretly taken from the small kitchen, and it was the food that Aunt Qin made for Gui Beiyan and Yang Kun in the small kitchen, and now if this old woman sends another one, wouldn't it be a goof.

"This...," the old woman hesitated.

"What is this, you won't even listen to words? Or do you think I don't deserve this job? ”

"How can that? I'm afraid that the girl will be tired. "The old woman is interested, why bother with the young lady, someone will send it over, and she just happened to go back early to take care of her grandson. She was originally alone with her grandson, begging outside, her grandson was sick and unable to seek medical treatment, and she couldn't see it, but fortunately, the eldest sister of Baihuatang saved them and brought them back to resettle. She took the errand of running errands back and forth to deliver things. While she was doing the work, her grandson would play with the other children in the yard, and there would be other women to take care of her. Today the child has a little cold and coughs badly, although other women treat her grandson well, but after all, she is not her own hands, and she still feels worried. What's wrong with being able to go back early now?

Gao Yu'er saw that the old woman had walked away, so she twisted the food box and walked towards Gui Beiyan's courtyard. When she went to the small kitchen before, Aunt Qing only made supper for Gui Beiyan, the small kitchen was set up by Gui Beiyan herself, and Aunt Qing was also hired by Gui Beiyan from outside, and she only cooked food for Gui Beiyan and Gao Yuer alone every day. When the three young people came today, they had already passed the meal, the big kitchen was sealed, and the cook locked the door early and left, and it would not be opened until tomorrow morning. She thought that she would always have an excuse to go to Sanshao, if she went to the street outside to buy and delay too much time, she was afraid that Sanshao would fall asleep when she came back, then she wouldn't be able to see him tonight. She didn't recruit for a while to take Gui Beiyan's supper, but now she is fortunate to have made another one, otherwise it will be troublesome to investigate.

Guibei* often lives with Gao Yuer in the inner courtyard on the second floor, and only when Yang Kun comes, she lives in the outer courtyard with her. For this reason, she specially arranged a small courtyard for Yang Kun, and the furniture and furnishings in it were all purchased by herself. Although she has been in charge of the Luoyang branch over the years, she has a clear distinction between public and private. Because of this, her subordinates are more convinced of her. Except for Baihuatang's official affairs, she never instructed the people of Baihuatang to do things for her, and the servants and cooks around her were all hired by her own money. This sister-in-law Wang, who just walked in, is one of them. Sister-in-law Wang is responsible for her daily life, and Sister-in-law Qing is responsible for eating.

When Yang Kun came in, she said that she had had dinner before she left in Luoyang, and she didn't need to Zhang Luo, but she felt sorry for the man, so she still asked the small kitchen to add an extra one to Yang Kun. After Gao Yuer came to make trouble, she remembered that her master had traveled all the way, but she was afraid that she would be hungry at night, so she asked someone to prepare one for Xinjie and Wang Yuecheng. After the order, he locked up in the house with Yang Kun. Although the two of them are not young, Xiao Bie is better than the newlywed, and it is natural for the two to be intimate. After exerting his strength, Yang Kun felt hungry, and the two of them remembered for supper. The kitchen was not delivered, so I asked Sister-in-law Wang to pick it up, but I knew that Sister-in-law Wang entered the door and said: "Sister-in-law Qing said that Miss had been to the kitchen before, and at that time she was busy picking up the hair in the bird's nest, and she didn't pay attention, and when she got it and cleaned up, she found that the supper was gone, she thought that Miss came to see you and her uncle, and sent the supper over by the way, so she didn't ask much." ”

Both of them are from the past, and they have been training in the rivers and lakes for decades, so they probably guessed what was going on. Gui Beiyan was a little apprehensive in her heart, hoping that Gao Yuer would not commit the master's taboo.

"This kid is too unconscious, master, that's what she can think?!" Gui Beiyan was partly angry for her daughter's disobedience, but she was more worried, afraid that her master would come up with rules and punish her heavily. If that's the case, Gao Yu'er won't have the face to stay here.

"It's no wonder she's. People like the master, don't say that Yu'er is a little girl who has nothing to do, and how many young women who have experienced it can not be moved? ”

"It's also about understanding who you are. Although Xiaoxiao treats me as a friend, after all, the lintel of the Tang family is not something that people like us can climb. If she pokes out the basket and makes it difficult for the master, I will be ashamed of Xiaoxiao. ”

The two were talking, when they saw Gao Yuer coming in with a food box. Although the husband and wife were a little surprised, they also felt relieved, at least there was no chaos. It's getting late, her husband has returned home after a long absence, since Gao Yu'er is here at the moment, I don't think there will be any more trouble, Gui Beiyan doesn't want to say anything more to Gao Yu'er tonight, but just asks her to go back to the courtyard where the mother and daughter usually live in the courtyard as soon as possible to rest.

After Gao Yuer saw Xinjie, she couldn't calm down in her heart, although she was driven out by her master, but the concern and desire to see him were even stronger. At this time, as soon as she saw Gui Beiyan asking her to go back to the house early, she complained in her heart that Gui Beiyan was in a hurry to get rid of people in a hurry to get married to Yang Kun, and her heart was even more unhealed. Out of Yang Kun's yard angrily, Unconsciously came to the gate of Xinjie's yard, was hesitating, heard someone coming, conveniently hid in the flowers, and after a while, I saw Aunt Qing in the small kitchen with a young woman into the master's yard. It's just that Aunt Qing looks a little different today, and as for what is different, Gao Yuer can't say it for a while.

Since the master stipulated that no woman should enter his courtyard after dusk, what happened to Aunt Qing and the young woman? They can get in, why can't they? Thinking about her, she sneaked in. Thanks to the fact that Gui Beiyan has been strict with her in kung fu since she was a child, she followed Aunt Qing and them all the way in, and no one knew about the potential flowers and trees.
