The former one was Yin Yi's order, and the second one was Ye Yun's voice painting the screen. As Ye Yun's right-hand man, she naturally stepped forward when Miss was in danger.

"My young lady made a move to save talents, why are you so arrogant to beat her!" The painting screen crossed his waist and blocked Ye Yun.

The painting screen is really used to following Ye Yun in Yangzhou, and she doesn't realize that any official in the capital is bigger than the official of her lord, the prefect of Yangzhou, and she has the momentum of a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers.

The guard really retreated, and he retreated naturally not because of the painting screen, but because of Yin Yi's instructions.

The painting screen thought that he had scared off the other party, his chin was raised higher, and his waist was straighter, which was very proud. I was so proud that I didn't even know I was an eyesore.

Yin Yi looked around the bun on the painting screen and saw Ye Yun behind her.

Ye Yun was actually a little at a loss, she naturally couldn't let Yin Yi see the traces, but she didn't know how to play a complete stranger.

"Childe, the horse just fainted, I didn't hurt it!" Ye Yun raised his eyebrows and looked at him, his tone was very cold,

Yin Yi is a descendant and the queen's nephew, and last year it was the queen who made a decree and strangled her.

She should hate these royal relatives!

But it's strange that she can't hate it, only indifference.

After saying this, Ye Yun turned around and continued to walk forward, glaring at Yin Yi with the painting screen, and also followed.

Yin Yi looked at her back for a long time, and she couldn't come back to her senses.

No matter how similar she is, she is not her, and her face is completely different.

Yin Yi was sad for a moment, asked the guards to pay attention to his horse, and entered a shop of the Yin family in despair.

Here, Ye Yun bought some sandalwood and a wooden frame of a good size in the store, and then found some carving tools, ready to make a clever thing by himself.

When she returned to Mu's house, she quietly put away her things, and told Muhammad what she wanted to give as a gift, and when she described it to Muhammad, Mu's eyes lit up.

"Really?" Mu Shi was still a little worried about when his youngest daughter would worry.

Ye Yun raised a smile that was bound to win, "Mother, don't worry, my daughter made a special inquiry outside to choose such an artifact, anyway, you don't have anything else to give now, this gift I gave is very exquisite, and Bai Shangshu is satisfied!" ”

Mu touched her immature and fair face, "You, you have been smart since you were a child, and now that you have grown up, you will share your mother's worries, okay, just listen to you!" When will that thing be good? ”

Ye Yun replied with a meaningful smile, "The shopkeeper said that it would take five days to transport it from Jiangnan!" ”

That is, it can be done properly before the birthday banquet, and Mu Shi is relieved. She asked the old lady for advice again.

And Ye Yun looked for Mu Shi and Ye Xi when they were away, quietly hiding in a small study to make trouble, she let the picture screen be outside to control the wind, and she concentrated on making congratulatory gifts.

That clever thing took Ye Yun a lot of effort, so the cousin and cousin of the Mu family asked her out several times, but she refused, but fortunately, Ye Xi was in the way, and it didn't seem rude to the Ye family.

In this way, it was not until the day before the birthday of Bai Jian's mother, the old man of the cabinet cabinet, that she made the congratulatory gift.

When she brought the congratulatory gift to Mu and Ye Xi, they were both stunned, and they were simply amazed to see the ever-changing object.

"It's... This is the work of Mr. Shi Bin, a famous Jiangnan carving teacher? Mu asked, pointing to the "One Plum" sign on the top, feeling that his little heart was a little unbearable.

Shi Bin is the most famous carving master in Dayong, with great skills and fame all over the world, even if it is a small item that is very ordinary, it is hard to find. And there will be a delicate plum blossom on the works of Shimen, which is a sign of recognition.

Ye Yun smiled and shook his head, "Mr. Shi has been dead for many years, this piece is just a disciple of Jiangnan Shimen, it should be a rare boutique, and it is perfect to give it as a congratulatory gift." ”

Mu Shi and Ye Xi both nodded, and the matter was settled.

In the end, Ye Yun cocked his head and flew a smug look at Mu Shi, "Mother, should you take me to Baifu together?" ”

------------------

On April 20, the 10th year of Duanrong, it was a clear day, and in the morning there were birds chirping in the woods, which added a bit of anxiety to the somewhat hot weather.

The red sun showed most of its face in the call of the birds, and with the sound of drums in the bell tower, the city gate opened, and the people who went out of the city poured out of the city, and the whole capital was instantly lively.

Mu got up early in the morning to pick up her two daughters, and today she went with Mrs. Zhou to celebrate her birthday, and her daughter's dress should not be too bright and eye-catching, but also beautiful and decent.

The eldest daughter Ye Xi has red lips and white teeth, a pair of big eyes are particularly outstanding, and her smile is like a hundred flowers competing for beauty, very delicate, she is the most outstanding one among the Mu sisters, even Mrs. Zhou has praised it several times, and it is eye-catching in the capital, so today Mu specially matched her with a light blue water shirt, and the bottom is a water green skirt, which is not too showy, but also very refreshing.

"My sister laughed, she had two small dimples, which was very beautiful!" Ye Yun poked Ye Xi's face in a rare mischievous way,

Ye Xi glanced at her, pursed her lips and smiled even more happily, so that the two dimples became deeper and deeper, reflecting the watery eyes delicately moving.

"Today, I happened to take a look at the son-in-law in the capital to see if there is anyone worthy of my sister!" Ye Yun continued to joke, this time Ye Xi was angry, and chased her with her skirt,

"You little hoof, how old you are, you have such a mind!"

The two sisters quarreled around the screen.

Mu Shi smiled and was anxious, "Paint the screen, don't drag the second miss over to me!" ”

"Yes, ma'am!" The painting screen rolled up his sleeves and nodded, and went to catch Ye Yun with a familiar car.

The painting screen is used to following Ye Yun in Yangzhou on weekdays, and has practiced a good pair of legs and feet, and caught Ye Yun, who is thinner than her, in three or two clicks, and then pushed him to the dresser.

Mu Shi pulled Ye Yun to sit down and dress up again.

Ye Yun is not as good as Ye Xi, her eyes are round and chirping, not big or small, when she is in a daze, she is a little stupid and cute, and when she blinks ignorantly, she is like a kitten, her eyes are moist and moist, tickling people's hearts, and anyone who looks at her can't help but feel sorry.

Although the body has not fully grown, it is also a beautiful embryo.

Mu knew that his youngest daughter had always liked bright clothes, and today was not more than usual to celebrate her birthday, and the days of fasting and reciting Buddha should be over, so she wanted to wear a pomegranate skirt, but Ye Yun felt that the pomegranate skirt was too delicate, so she shook her head at Mu Shi and refused.

"You used to be cute and wear red!" Puzzled, Muhammad asked her,

Ye Yun's expression suddenly dimmed, she couldn't wear red, she was still in filial piety, her father and brothers were dead.

Thinking of the old things, her heart suddenly cramped, and her face flushed.

Later, Mu Shi couldn't resist Ye Yun, and continued to let her wear a thin green gown, and the lake blue skirt underneath, which made her whole temperament more and more ethereal.

Mu himself wore an autumn-colored skirt and took a pair of daughters to the main courtyard, and Mrs. Wen instructed Ye Yun a few more words, for fear that she would make trouble again, and then sent a foreign affairs grandmother to follow their mother and daughter to wait for Mrs. Zhou outside the corner door of the long room.

Mrs. Zhou came out with her daughter-in-law Mrs. Xu and Mu Yancui, Mu Yancui was full of pearls, dressed up very gorgeously, and very eye-catching, but she looked average, not as eye-catching as Ye Xi at all, and she didn't have Ye Yun's temperament.

The group got into the carriage surrounded by the grandmother and the girl, and rushed to the Bai family.

After the Yuan blue and white plum vase fell, the three-room master of the Mu family chose a twelve-open Suzhou embroidered screen as a congratulatory gift.

The male guests of the Mu family walked through the main gate into the front yard to congratulate, and the female relatives entered the hanging flower door from the side door to the backyard to meet the hostess. This is the rule in the capital.

When Ye Yun and the others arrived at the entrance of the alley at the side gate of Baifu, it was already full of carriages, but fortunately, the family members of Baifu were fast, and the maid and wife went in with the officials, and the little maid led the carriage to the back, and there was a place for the chauffeur to drink tea in the courtyard of the back door.

After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, they entered the backyard of the White Mansion.

Along the way, Ye Yun heard many low discussions.

She was not familiar with Bai Jian in her previous life, but she played chess with him a few times, lost once, won twice, I heard that one year on her birthday, Bai Jian also gave her a gift, and then it seemed to be taken away by her father, and she didn't care too much.

After entering the house, she learned from the words of others that Bai Jian's wife had passed away, and now there is only one widow in the house, and there is also an aunt in charge, his ex-wife gave birth to an eldest son for him, and his aunt gave birth to two concubines for him.

Mrs. Zhou was still a little worried at the beginning that the Ye sisters had not seen the world and looked around, she turned her head from time to time to look at a few children, and found that Ye Xi and Ye Yun were obediently following behind, not squinting, but Mu Yancui's apricot eyes looked around, Mrs. Zhou stopped and glanced at her coldly, and Mu Yancui stopped.

"If you don't be careful, don't go out in the future!" Mrs. Zhou struck a sentence, and then walked inside with the flow of people. Mu Yancui's face turned red, and Fang hung his head and divided into it.

Bai Jian is in a high position, and the affairs of the Ministry of Officials are very hot in the court, and he has come to take the opportunity to curry favor with many people, so the Mu Mansion and his party waited for a while to go to the main courtyard to pay tribute to Mrs. Bai.

There were too many visitors, and the gifts were labeled and placed in the west corner of the main courtyard by the housekeeper of the Bai family's inner courtyard, and then the guests were led by the girl to visit Mrs. Bai in the main hall.

Ye Yun followed suit, followed behind and saluted, glanced at the old lady Bai, and saw that she was wearing a thin gown with a cluster of flowers, her eyes narrowed into a slit with a smile, and the wrinkles on her forehead could kill eight or nine mosquitoes, listening to the housekeeper and Bai Jian's aunt on the side introduce her to the guests.

Ye Yun knew at a glance that this old lady was a person who lived in a daze, and it was estimated that she didn't know much.

Everyone didn't care, anyway, they came for Bai Jian.

Because there were too many people, the ladies were invited to go outside to play in the flower hall or garden, and Mrs. Zhou took Xu and Mu to sit inside, Mrs. Zhou was Mrs. Sanpin, and she still had a bit of face, and she took the initiative to introduce Mu to some of the ladies who sat close, and Mu was grateful.

Ye Yun and Ye Xi walked towards the garden with their respective big girls painting screens and incense stickers, and everyone was still very curious about what the back garden of the cabinet elder should be.
