Chapter 69 Inside and Outside the Courtyard
"Madame, Madame, husband...... The lord is back, the lord is back. ”
Jin'er ran all the way, shouting happily, and running all the way into the backyard.
"Oh? yes, yes? Where is the master now, where is he?! ”
Wang Shiyun hurriedly walked out of a side room, still holding a dripping rag in her hand, and asked the maid Jin'er who ran over with some eagerness.
"Madame, Madame! I was at the gate of the courtyard just now, far away, and I saw the old man riding the red horse of Jujube, turning the corner from the corner of Naxi Street, and coming this way! ”
Jin'er still looks elated, as if her master's visit to her home this time is a great joy.
"Oh? Really? It's, it's going to be dark this day, Jin'er, do you see clearly? Let's go and come with me to the gate of the courtyard to greet you. ”
Wang Shiyun was very happy and a little puzzled, and raised her legs and prepared to walk in the direction of the front yard.
"It must be that the master is back! Madam. Jin'er can't be mistaken. If it weren't for the fact that the master was coming back today, how could the young master come back this afternoon. And the young master went to clean up the study for the master himself! ”
Jin'er smiled happily, blinked her eyes, turned around and walked behind her wife.
"What do you say? Young master, young master will be back this afternoon or afternoon? ”
Wang Shiyun, who was about to start moving forward, suddenly stopped again, her face that was still smiling just now looked a little stiff, and she turned around and asked Jin'er.
"Yes, yes! The young master came back in the afternoon. However, at that time, Madame happened to be taking a nap. The young master didn't let me go to report, for fear that he would disturb Madame's lunch break. The young master himself went directly to clean up the study for the master, and Jin'er couldn't pull it. The young master is a person who does great things, how can he do these things that people do? I think the young master is also out of filial piety! I also obeyed the young master's instructions, and I started to cook a lot of dishes that the master likes to eat on weekdays early this afternoon. Now, it's all kept warm in the steamer in the kitchen. Hehehe...... Madam, my lord will be very happy today. I thought that when Madame woke up, the young master would tell ......"
Jin'er didn't seem to notice Wang Shiyun's face, which was gradually becoming more and more gloomy, and only talked happily on Twitter.
"Alright, Jin'er."
Wang Shiyun suddenly interrupted her maid Jin'er's words with a sudden interest.
"Jin'er, you can go to the gate of that courtyard to greet the master. I felt a little tired, and when I woke up this afternoon, I had been scrubbing the cupboards in this room, and it seemed that I was a little tired, so I went to rest. Jin'er, when it's time for dinner, you can serve the master and the young master well, and you don't need to call me. If you ask, you will say that I am feeling a little tired today, and I have gone to bed early. Hurry up, Jin'er. ”
"Madame, you? Didn't you just sleep for two hours in the afternoon......"
"Don't go yet!"
Wang Shiyun suddenly let out a very suppressed and low shout, which undoubtedly interrupted Jin'er's question, flicked his sleeves, turned around and walked hurriedly in the direction of his bedroom.
"I, I, I ......"
Jin'er opened her mouth and looked at her own wife who was far away in the dim sky light, stomped her foot a little angrily, turned around and walked in the direction of the gate in the front yard.
……
"Young, young master."
When Jin'er came to the gate of the courtyard, she saw that her young master Li Yunsheng was already standing under the stone steps in front of the door, and she couldn't help but blush, and called in a low voice.
"Oh? It's Jin'er. How did you get here? ”
Li Yunsheng turned his head when he heard this.
In the dim light, Li Yunsheng squinted his eyes slightly and looked at the maid Jin'er who was walking out of the courtyard gate.
"Yes, it was Madame who asked me to come here to greet and greet the master."
Under the darkening sky, Jin'er seemed to be a little shy and bowed her head in response.
"Oh? Is it? I'll just have me here, Jin'er, and you can go to the kitchen and bring the prepared food and drinks to your uncle's study. ”
Li Yunsheng turned his head again, and he didn't know where he was looking at the street in front of the door.
"But ......"
On the steps behind Li Yunsheng, Jin'er raised her head slightly, looked at Li Yunsheng at the foot of the nearby steps with a somewhat evasive look, and then quickly lowered her head.
"Go ahead, Jin'er. By the way, you go to the courtyard again, you go and talk to the old man, and ask him to come and light the two lanterns in front of the courtyard later. This black light blinds. Go for it. ”
Li Yunsheng didn't look back, just stood at the foot of the steps and said leisurely.
"Yes, it's the young master."
Jin'er turned around quickly, tears rolling down her cheeks quietly.
Slowly stepping over the somewhat high threshold, Jin'er walked into the courtyard gate again.
