Early the next morning, I invited An back, walked to the gate of the courtyard, a ray of morning light pierced through the clouds and fog, Li Yan stood on the steps, turned around, squinted at the ginkgo tree next to the steps, and the flower and plant pavilion not far away, exactly the same as what I saw at night.

"I want to walk around the garden." Li Yan looked at Mama Kong and said with a smile: "Just let Yushu accompany me, and I'll be back in a while." ”

"Yes." Mama Kong bowed in agreement, stood on the steps, watched Li Yan and Yushu walk away, and then turned around and entered the courtyard.

Li Yan walked while watching, and walked straight forward along the path he had walked at night. Yushu followed behind Li Yan unhurriedly, looking around as she walked, every grass, tree, house and house here gave her a plausible and familiar feeling.

"After Merlin is a lake." After walking for nearly two quarters of an hour, Li Yan looked at a plum forest in front of her, her footsteps paused slightly, and the night was all based on the moonlight, she couldn't see the appearance of this plum forest clearly, but this rich fragrance of plum blossoms made her sure that this plum forest was Bi Merlin.

"I seem to remember that Yuzhang's home is also like this, a piece of plum forest in the past, it is a big lake." Yushu turned his head to look at Merlin in a trance, "When the red plum blossoms, it's very lively." ”

"Hmm." Li Yan replied casually, walked a little faster, passed through the merlin, and stood by a lake with a water surface of five or six acres.

In the middle of the lake, there were waves in the wind, and the places near the shore were frozen, and a long nine-curved stone bridge stretched into the lake from the shore diagonally opposite, connecting several water pavilions in the lake. The wooden plank road on the shore and the water pavilion in the lake obviously have traces of disrepair.

Mama Su said that the Li family has fallen since Li Xiangguo was a child.

Li Yan walked along the plank road for nearly a quarter of an hour, and Yushu reminded behind: "Miss, the hour is not early, you have not eaten anything since you got up in the morning." ”

"It's okay, I want to go there." Li Yan pointed to the water pavilion, she was standing in the water pavilion yesterday, watching the woman's figure slowly sink into the lake, she wanted to go over and take a good look.

Yushu stopped talking, followed Li Yan, bypassed the small half of the lake, and arrived at the Jiuqu Bridge, Yushu took the first step in front, arrived at the door of the Water Pavilion, signaled Li Yan to stand first, went in and checked it himself, and then let Li Yan enter the Water Pavilion.

Li Yan walked through the water pavilion, stood on the platform where he stood at night, turned around, turned around again, and looked at the middle of the lake, which was there. Li Yan looked fixedly at the place where the woman sank in the night, the water waves were in the wind, and occasionally a few fat koi fish swam leisurely.

"Yushu." Li Yan looked at Yushu who was holding the stone railing with both hands to watch the fish, "What if you want to see what is at the bottom of this lake?" ”

"There's something about the eldest lady at the bottom of this lake?" Yushu frowned, "Looking for a few water ghosts?" Drain the water? ”

Li Yan smiled, and Bai asked what it was.

"There are only two options." Yushu was a little embarrassed by Li Yan's laughter, is there any other way?

"I'll just ask, let's go, go back." Li Yan smiled and motioned for Yushu to go back.

…………

Under Mama Su's efforts to make up for the evil, on the morning of the day when she went to Li's house to invite someone to appreciate the plum, Li Yan finally remembered the heads of the families in the capital, as well as the chaotic relatives, in-laws, enmities and other relationships.

Mrs. Yuan glanced at Mama Su, who was standing behind Li Yan with her hands down, and then looked at it, called a mother-in-law over, and whispered a few words, and the mother-in-law hurriedly went in, and after a while, Mama Hong followed her mother-in-law out, first greeted Mrs. Yuan, and then bent her knees at Li Yan and smiled: "Miss, the old lady heard that you let Mama Su be on an errand with her, and she was startled, and quickly asked the old slave to come and say to the eldest lady: Mama Su used to serve in front of Princess Rongfu, and there was a seal in the previous dynasty, and now it is not only the old worship in the Chen Mansion, but also the palace, It is also a great courtesy, and you let Mama Su be on an errand, which is simply appalling. ”

"I was shocked when I saw it just now." Mrs. Yuan stroked her chest, "I'm stupid, what is Mama Su's identity?" If this is for people to see...... If you are arrogant like this, maybe you will cause a big disaster, and I am scared stupid. ”

Madame laughed. Mama Su hurriedly laughed in front of Li Yan and said, "Mama Hong's words are really unacceptable." The ancestor ordered me to come over, that is, to wait for the eldest lady, the ancestor instructed, the eldest lady has just arrived, both people and land, and ordered me to accompany the eldest lady and mention one or two. Our ancestor's temper, Mrs. also knows something, over the years has become more and more indisputable, I really dare not disobey our ancestor's orders. ”

"Mama go back." Without waiting for Mama Hong and Mrs. Yuan to speak, Li Yan opened her mouth first, "Mama don't worry, I've written it down." Let you stand with you for a day and suffer, I can't help it. ”

Mama Hong looked at Mrs. Yuan, Mrs. Yuan twisted her eyebrows and slanted at Li Yan, Li Ruo, who was standing next to Mrs. Yuan, opened her mouth, but she couldn't speak, her eldest sister really needs to have an old Cheng Zhili accompanying guidance, but letting Mama Su accompany her is indeed too arrogant.

Mama Su met Li Yan's affirmative gaze, hesitated and smiled, "Follow the orders of the eldest lady." The eldest lady is the only one by her side, so she is afraid that she can't take care of it, so let Mama Kong or Green Butterfly come over and wait? ”

"Mama Kong." Li Yan responded.

Mama Su first responded respectfully, then bent her knees and said goodbye to Mrs. Yuan, and then nodded to Mama Hong, took a few steps back, and went back to Yutan Courtyard.

Mrs. Yuan breathed a long sigh of relief, leaned at Li Yan, and complained to Mama Hong, "Look at it, it's not worry-free at all, this trip is our luck, and we stopped it before the accident, otherwise, let people see that our house dares to call Mama Su like this, this is simply ...... Alas! ”

Mrs. Yuan looked very angry but helpless, "Tell me, what kind of sin have we created, this is simply a special trip to harm our Li family, I don't know which plague god we provoked, see that our Li family is getting better and better, and send such a ......"

"Auntie!" Li Ruo interrupted Mrs. Yuan's words, and Mama Hong looked at her and listened carefully to Mrs. Yuan's words, but Li Yan, who was expressionless, felt a little frightened inexplicably. This eldest lady seems to be getting stronger and stronger.

Mrs. Yuan wanted to say more, but there was a loud report from her mother-in-law outside the second gate, and the guests had arrived.

It was the elders of the clan who came, and Mrs. Yuan hurriedly took away her words, straightened out her cloak, and took Li Yan, Li Ruo and others to greet her.

The Li family's plum banquet did not come much, and Li Yan followed him and stood in the second gate for a short time, so he followed Li Ruo and others into the garden to accompany the guests.
