Chun Ying hurriedly bowed down: "Third Young Master." Fang looked up at the other party.

Li You was wearing a snow-green robe. Riding a white horse, followed only by a strange boy of eleven or twelve years old. She glanced at their clothes and the color on the saddle, and then saw that the fan cover on Li You's waist was blue and white, and guessed which family they probably went to for the funeral, so she asked, "Are you going out as a guest?" ”

"It's over, I'm about to go home." Li You looked Chunying up and down a few times, and said with a smile, "You look good, how have you been doing in the past six months?" He looked around again, and pointed to a teahouse not far away with a horsewhip in his hand: "It's not easy to talk here, let's go there, dye it, find a table, and ask for a private room." ”

The little guy who followed the horse responded with a smile, and quickly ran towards the teahouse, his shirt swaying in the wind, and something green flashed on his waist. Chunying only glanced at it, and became suspicious. It looked like a jade pendant, and the shape looked like the reward he had received from the Third Young Master before? She glanced back at Li You and said nothing. Who knows how many jade waist pendants this little master has in his hand? There are only a few styles of this kind of thing, and maybe he has a few similar shapes and patterns. I gave it to someone casually.

Li You casually rode a horse to the teahouse, and the young second who had already had a spirit came out: "Son, the private room has been prepared, please go up to the second floor." But he couldn't help but glance at Chun Ying behind him, with a little curiosity, a little understanding and a little ambiguity in his eyes.

Li You didn't pay attention to his face at all, so he walked straight into the teahouse and went up to the second floor. Chunying saw it clearly behind her, and she was suddenly depressed. She is dressed like a civilian girl, but she entered the teahouse with a richly dressed young master, and called a private room, God knows how the people around her will arrange her?

Chun Ying's eyes rolled, she put her hands in front of her lower abdomen, bowed her head slightly, and walked behind Li You in small steps according to the posture of a maid from a large family, maintaining a distance of more than three steps. The water for making tea is the first choice for Yuquan Mountain. Or clean rain also makes. You don't have to have too many dim sums, just pick the seasonal fresh, clean up and take the plate to serve three or five things, don't have more. Remember, as long as the taste is light, less oil. ”

She didn't stop after speaking, she went straight upstairs, her steps were light, and she looked at the posture of the highly trained maidservants in the high-ranking family, and her eyes did not look around, and she had to try to stop the hem of her skirt from fluttering. The training she had done at home seemed to have paid off, and she struggled to walk the flight of stairs at her usual pace without making a mistake. As soon as the other tea guests saw her style, they knew that it was the little master's girl from before, although they were still peeking, they didn't dare to gossip casually.

When she walked to the private room, she breathed a sigh of relief, and heard Li You quip: "I never knew that Chun'er was so capable?" When you are in my yard, you only do some menial work, is it too big and too much? ”

Chun Ying smiled: "The sisters in the Third Young Master's courtyard are all extremely capable. I'm just petty, how dare I call myself a big guy? After a pause, she wanted to ask about Zhou Nian, but when she caught a glimpse of the little guy named Dianran standing on the side waiting, she hesitated, not knowing whether to say it in front of him.

Xiao Er quickly sent the refreshments up, and without waiting for Chunying to take it, the dot dye took the first step to meet it, quickly and neatly placed the things on the table, poured a small half cup of tea and tasted it, frowned, and glanced at Xiao Er. Xiao Ercheng lowered his head in fear: "Don't dislike it, this is the best tea in the shop, although it is an aged dragon well, with the spring water in the backyard of the shop, it is not worse than new tea." ”

As soon as he raised his eyebrows, he was about to count them, but was stopped by the impatient Li Youyi with a wave of his hand: "I'm not here to eat tea, what are you picky?" Let him go down and bother less! Only then did he wave his hand at Xiao Er: "Go!" The little two quickly retreated and quietly wiped a handful of sweat.

Chunying thought about it, then stepped forward to roll up her sleeves for Li You, poured him another cup of tea, and looked at those dim sums, which were nothing more than seasonal foods such as osmanthus cake, chestnut flour cake, pine nut and jujube mud cake, she picked and chosen, and only put the lighter-looking osmanthus cake into the small plate in front of Li You.

Li You didn't want to eat those pastries at all, just glanced at them, and called Diandye: "You go out and guard." I have something to say to Chun'er. Dian Ran went out with a smile, and then he turned his head to Chunying and said, "Speaking of which, you have been out of the house for half a year, how are you doing?" My courtyard is now full of people, and I don't have time to arrange you in, so I have to let you grieve for a while, and when there is a vacancy, I will have someone call you back. ”

Chun Ying had already fainted the idea of returning to the house, but it was not good to refuse in person, so she bowed her head lightly and saluted: "Got it, Third Young Master Xie." ”

Li You didn't know what he was thinking, and was silent for a while before he said, "Let me ask you...... You and Manru ...... Is there a spat in the face? I think...... She seems a little weird when she talks about you. And when Brother Nian was still in the mansion that day, she mentioned that she had witnessed the second brother kill with you that day, why didn't you mention it to me? ”

Is Zhou Nian no longer in the house? This thought flashed through Chunying's mind, and then replied, "She saw it with me, but she was very much against me talking about it, and we had a fight over this. I thought that even if I confessed to her, she would deny it, and entangled with her about the truth of the matter, wouldn't it delay the right thing? So I didn't say anything about her. She noticed something different in the other person's tone: "But what's wrong?" ”

Li You smiled faintly and shook his head: "There's nothing wrong with that." Just remember to tell me exactly what happened in the future. I was in a hurry to send you out of the house that day, and I didn't ask clearly, but fortunately, Brother Nian explained everything clearly. Man is like her......" He stopped his mouth, thinking of the reason why the big girl next to him was favored by her mother, and the corners of her mouth brought a mocking smile: "Her mind is not what you guessed, where is she afraid to tell the truth?" ”

Hey? Chunying was stunned, thinking of the rumors in the house, the unlucky experience of the second young master, and the fact that his wife promoted Manru unusually, she guessed a few points: "Did she tell her wife about this?" That's why my wife will let her be promoted? ”

"Leave that alone." Li You didn't want to continue the topic. "Now she has almost passed Lu'er in my house, and my mother believes in her. A few of the people who used to wait around me have fallen, and the rest are getting closer to her. I'd rather like to know what she wanted to do next. Don't go home yet, and tell your family to keep your affairs a secret for the time being, and then I'll send someone to pass the word over, and then do as I say. With that, he picked up the tea bowl and took a sip of tea.

Chunying was a little reluctant in her heart, obviously her mother had told her that she would move back in a few days, although she meant to postpone it a little longer, but it was another thing to be ordered not to go home. Waiting for his orders, who knows how long?

Chunying whispered, "I just don't know how long it will take?" My father and second uncle both went out to run errands with the eldest young master, my sister was on an errand with the old lady, and there were only my mother and younger brother at home, and my younger brother was not yet three years old......"

"It won't take long, don't worry."

This is a bit categorical, and it seems that it can't be changed? Chun Ying reluctantly responded, thought about it, and asked, "Third Young Master, what happened to me that day?" Didn't you plan it all? If you don't want me to leak the matter, just say it, why knock me out? ”

Li You was stunned before he smiled: "Where did I get knocked out?" It was the hands of the second brother's men. That day, Brother Nian said that he saw someone peeping nearby, and he was afraid that he would be unfavorable to you, so he begged me to send you out as soon as possible. I answered, but I didn't expect that the man who was peeping in the dark would hear it, and he would faint you and try to take you away when they were unprepared. Fortunately, Sanqing woke up and found out in time. I discussed with Brother Nian, and I thought it would be good to take advantage of the situation to send you out of the house, so I found Ping An to do it. Ping An is my mother's companion son, who has helped me with errands since I was a child, and is extremely reliable. ”

Only then did Chunying know the truth of that day, and she felt a little complicated. But he seemed to be relieved. At least, she doesn't have to be so wary of the Third Young Master and Zhou Nian in the future, they still care about her.

A smile bloomed on her face, and she solemnly saluted Li You: "Thank you Third Young Master for saving me, otherwise I would have been unlucky!" ”

Li You bent the corners of his mouth, raised his glass and took another sip of tea, his eyes flashing.

He asked about his experience after saying goodbye, and when he saw Chunying dressed plainly, he smiled and said, "Look at the way you look now, how shabby you are, where do you look like a person from our Hou Mansion?" He casually took off a jade pendant from his waist and threw it to her: "Take it, clean it up." When you return home in the future, I will reward you. He was in a very happy mood, the days without the second brother were really easy, now even the eldest brother went to his aunt's house in Nanjing, he was the only one in the Hou Mansion, his father was also much closer to him, and he was willing to hand over some small things for him to do, thinking that the initial opportunity was brought by the girl in front of him, and he became generous.

Chun Ying hurriedly caught the jade pendant, and recognized that it was a Hetian white jade five-bat holding a longevity card, no matter the texture of the carving is the top grade, I am afraid it can be worth dozens of taels, busy thanking the reward. Li You waved his hand absently, chatted a few more words, and was about to get up and go home.

Chun Ying hurriedly asked: "Third Young Master, where is Young Master Nian now?" Are you alright? ”

"He's fine." Li You didn't want to say more, so he only ordered, "Remember my words, and I will arrange for you to go home." And he went out. Dian Dye hurriedly paid the bill and hurried to follow.

Chunying bit her lip and followed, before she walked to Dianran's side, and the little boy lowered his voice and said to her, "Sister Lu doesn't recognize me, right?" I am from the outer courtyard, and I have always gone out with the third young master. I had seen my sister, but she didn't see me at the time. ”

Chunying was a little confused: "What do you mean?" ”

Dianran smiled, and as soon as her hand moved, she stuffed something into her hand: "I'm young and ignorant, I'm running into my sister, don't be angry with me." He quickened his pace.

Chunying looked down and saw that what he stuffed turned out to be a jade pendant and a pair of gold triads, and it looked strange, as if it was one of her missing belongings that day. Did you take it for this little guy? But what did he mean by that?

She was about to catch up and ask clearly, but she heard a somewhat familiar voice from the corner of the lobby on the first floor: "Come on, come here, give Ye a smile?" Don't run, little beauty......" She turned her head to look, wasn't it the Uncle Qing she had seen the day before yesterday?

She frowned, her face was disgusted, she lowered her head and walked to the door, Li You was about to get on the horse, and when she looked back and saw her appearance, she asked curiously, "What's wrong?" ”

Chunying's heart moved, so she briefly said what happened the day before yesterday, and pointed to Uncle Qing: "That's the person." He does a lot of things to oppress the people on weekdays, but no one cares, so everyone has to swallow their anger. Seeing that Li You's expression did not change, she rolled her eyes and added: "He seems to be the guard of Dongzhimen, I heard that he is very familiar with the Liang Taishi's Mansion, and this Uncle Qing is also a good friend of the young master of the Liang family." ”

"Which onion is he? Where would the Liang family take him seriously? Li You looked disappreciative, turned back to the dot and said, "This kind of trivial matter doesn't need to alarm the family and the Jingwang Mansion, I remember seeing an official who came to visit at the door of my brother-in-law's house before, what is it called?" Looks like someone from the military department? ”

Dian Ran hurriedly said: "Exactly, that day he also said that he was going to come to see the third young master." ”

"Which one has time to see him?" Li You raised his chin towards Uncle Qing, "Hand him a letter, saying that this person is relying on his old son and doing evil, I don't like it, let him take care of their father and son as soon as possible." My people are not something that this kind of deflated three can provoke. He got back on his horse, said hello to Chunying, and walked away.

Chun Ying looked back at Uncle Qing, who was still flirting with the singing girl, and then looked at the figure of the third young master in the distance, thinking that this is probably the privilege of a wealthy family? The third young master even decided the fate of Uncle Qing's family with just one or two sentences. She should have been happy, but she didn't know why, there was always something wrong in her heart......

(Late...... For the sake of the word count, forgive me and ask for another pink ticket...... ）。.。
