In the Huaienhou Mansion, Ye Qiong and Ye Yao were standing under the corridor to enjoy the chrysanthemums.

In order to be able to hold a banquet in this rainy weather, a canopy was built in various places in the courtyard where there might be guests passing through, and even a small pavilion was built in the garden, covered with light-transmitting mica tiles.

Despite this, Ye Qiong still noticed the mottled and painted railings and the corners of the maids' clothes that had been washed white.

No matter how hard the Huai'en Marquis Mansion tried to hide it, it had already shown a decline in the eyes of the discerning people.

A maid came up to change the tea for Ye Qiong and Ye Yao, Ye Yao lowered her head and pecked lightly, then covered her mouth with her sleeve and spit it out: "The water is last year's rain, it smells of dust, and the tea is also a dragon well before the rain instead of before the Ming Dynasty." Unexpectedly, the Huai'en Hou Mansion looked magnificent, and the inside was still declining. ”

Ye Qiong sneered and put the teacup back on the coffee table.

"What kind of broken tea is this!" A noble lady immediately dropped the teacup.

Ye Fuxian was also very helpless, she couldn't even send the maid's monthly money in the house, it would be better for her daughter to come back, just hold a banquet and make a living, these ladies also picked on the tea.

Xu heard the noblewoman's complaints, Wen Tingting walked out with her stomach curled up, and smiled at everyone: "Huai'en Hou Mansion is not well entertained, so you can see and laugh." I have given me some tea from the reward given to me by the Third Highness, and I invite you to palm. ”

The newly replaced tea leaves are the best Xinyang hair tips, and Ye Qiong took a sip and put it down.

It seems that Wen Tingting heard about the tea and came to remedy it.

The ladies in the courtyard all laughed, praised Wen Tingting, and said that she had a blessed star and would definitely give birth to a male child.

Ye Qiong wondered in her heart, she hadn't heard that Wen Tingting gave birth to a son and a half daughter in her previous life, could it be that this child was not saved in the end?

Ye Qiong took another sip of tea, and felt Ye Yao pull her sleeve, Ye Qiong looked up, and saw Ye Yao motioning her to look in one direction with her eyes.

Ye Qiong looked over, and Ye Yu, the newly recognized concubine in the fourth room, was looking at them, and saw Ye Qiong looking over and arching his hand to the two of them.

Ye Qiong's heart suddenly became alarmed, and she whispered to Ye Yao: "Sister, that's the newly recognized concubine Ye Play in the fourth room." You be careful with him, this person can't even find out the details of the fifth uncle. ”

Ye Yao let out an "ah" and said, "How did he come over, did the Wen family still invite him?" ”

"I don't know, it stands to reason that the Ye family has nothing to do with the four rooms after the four rooms are removed, let alone the Wen family?" Ye Qiong said, "I'll go for a walk in the park and see what he plans to do, sister, stay here and don't move." Cousin Bai, you can go with me. ”

The egret following behind hurriedly responded, and Ye Yao was relieved when he saw the egret following, and said, "Then you should be careful." ”

"Sister, don't worry." Ye Qiong said, said to the maid with the egret again, and went into the garden.

……………………

The Huai'en Hou Mansion covers a large area, and the further you go inside, the more you can see its decay, many pavilions and pavilions are deserted, only a rusty lock hangs on the door.

Ye Qiong walked on a little-visited path in the garden and asked the egret behind heron, "Has anyone followed?" ”

The egret bowed his head, but there was some uncertainty in his tone: "But it doesn't seem to be a four-room young master." ”

Ye Qiong stopped, a little surprised.

The egret guarded Ye Qiong again, looking in one direction, another person came out of the shadow of the tree there, and raised his eyebrows when he saw the egret protecting Ye Qiong, and then saluted Ye Qiong lazily: "In the next Zhang Jingzhi, meet again, the little girl of the Ye family." ”

Saying that, Zhang Jingzhi grinned again: "Perhaps, I should call you senior sister." ”

Ye Qiong held her forehead, but she didn't expect that it was Zhang Jingzhi who quietly followed her.

Just a few days ago, Mr. Zou was really entangled by Zhang Jingzhi, so he let him become a nominal disciple.

is just a name, in front of Mr. Zou, Zhang Jingzhi's status is not as good as Ye Qiong's official disciple.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Jingzhi really called himself senior sister as soon as he opened his mouth.

Zhang Jingyi has never cared about banquets and the like, so why did he come to this banquet?

Zhang Jingzhi seemed to see what Ye Qiong was thinking, and said with a smile: "I saw that my senior sister left the table, so I specially followed, just to ask you ...... privately."

"Ask what?" Ye Qiong felt that this person was really annoying, and he always liked to stop at key places when he spoke.

"Ask me how you can please Master." Zhang Jingzhi said with a smile, with grievances in his words, "I don't know why I can't please Master, every time I haven't opened my mouth, he tells me to get out." ”

Ye Qiong rolled her eyes in her heart.

is as smart as Zhang Jingzhi, he really doesn't know how to please Mr. Zou, he just deliberately angers the master and thinks it's funny.

One old and one young, two living treasures, no wonder he became a master and apprentice, in his previous life, Zhang Jingzhi also worshiped under Mr. Zou.

However, in his previous life, Zhang Jingzhi was not a nominal disciple.

When Ye Qiong thought of this, she was a little weak-hearted, shouldn't she have snatched the place of Zhang Jingzhi's official disciple?

Ye Qionghu glanced at Zhang Jingyi suspiciously, thinking that he had indeed not harmed himself in his previous life, but he would receive some small favors from him when he was in the Korean Mansion.

Just talking about the fact that Zhang Jingzhi gave Zhang Xudong a childless drug, Ye Qiong is very grateful to him, if she is allowed to conceive Zhang Xudong's child, or raise a concubine for Zhang Xudong, she will probably die of nausea.

Thinking of this, Ye Qiong still eased her expression and said patiently: "Master has a very good personality, don't always provoke him with words." He likes sweetness and likes pastries made of glutinous rice, but he can't give them more, and his wife doesn't allow him to eat more. Master is not picky about food, clothing, housing, and transportation, but he is different about pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and if you want to give gifts to please him, you can start from this aspect......"

Zhang Jingzhi couldn't help nodding, looking at Ye Qiong's open and closed lips, and unconsciously distracted.

I don't know what kind of salva this little girl uses, it looks strange and tempting, like a cherry moistened by water.

Ye Qiong said dryly, only to notice that Zhang Jingzhi seemed to be distracted, and his tone unconsciously brought anger: "Have you written it down?" ”

"Write it down, write it down." Zhang Jingzhi said with a smile. How much he really listened, only he knows.

Zhang Jingzhi left after listening to the advice, and the egret whispered: "Girl, someone overheard just now, and I didn't say anything when I saw that Zhang Gongzi was there." ”

Ye Qiong's face was cold: "Is it Ye Play?" ”

The egret shook his head and said, "I can see that it is the hem of the woman's skirt, it is apricot yellow, and it is far away, and the person probably can't hear the content of the conversation." ”

Ye Qiong groaned.

Apricot yellow skirt, I don't know which one.

……………………

When Ye Qiong returned to the banquet, Ye Mei and Ye Qin from the second room of the Ye family came over to say hello.

After a few greetings, Ye Mei whispered to Ye Qiong: "I just heard that my cousin specially asked everyone about Sister Qiong's movements?" ”

"Why do you ask me?" Ye Qiong said quietly, "I'm just going to relieve myself." ”

Ye Mei said, "Sister Qiong, let's be careful." With that, he walked away with Ye Qin.

Ye Qiong's heart sank slightly, and she noticed that Ye Mei's skirt was garnet red, and Ye Qin's skirt was apricot yellow.

Was it Ye Qin who eavesdropped just now?

Just thinking like this, Wen Tingting called Ye Qiong over, Ye Qiong couldn't shirk it, walked in front of Wen Tingting, and was affectionately held by her hand and said, "Eh, you have just been in the garden for so long, have you ever seen a handsome young man?" Don't be shy, just tell your cousin and I'll call your shots! ”

The faces of the ladies present changed.

Seeing a foreign man privately is not something that a girl's family would do.

Xie Shi, who was sitting among the noblewomen, looked nervous and stared at Ye Qin fiercely.

She could see clearly that Ye Qin was the only one who approached Wen Tingting just now!

Ye Qiong smiled and pulled out her hand and said, "Who said I saw a handsome young man?" I'm just going to relieve myself, and there's a maid with me! This is still the place where I heard my cousin, how can there be a foreign man walking around? ”

Wen Tingting's smile stiffened, Ye Qiong's words were saying that she deliberately let foreign men into the courtyard to tarnish the reputation of female dependents.

Immediately, an old-fashioned old woman stood up and was about to leave, but was stopped by Ye Fuxian again and again.

Wen Tingting was about to say something, Zhang Jingzhi walked out of the flower shadow, and as soon as he appeared, he grabbed everyone's attention.

He smiled at Ye Qiong, almost dazzling the eyes of the ladies present, Ye Qiong rolled her eyes in her heart and scolded him for being a.

Zhang Jingzhi arched his hand perfunctorily at Wen Tingting, and said: "I just entered the garden and found that there are many broken walls and ruins in the garden, but there are some broken beauty, so I walked around for a while, which delayed the time, and I hope the master will not be surprised." ”

Wen Tingting was about to say that naturally she wouldn't, but she saw Zhang Jingzhi salute Ye Qiong and said with a smile: "Why is Senior Sister here, I lost the argument just now, but I said that I won two wins in three games, and Senior Sister can't play tricks." ”

Wen Tingting's eyes widened, and the noble ladies present were also full of surprise, Wen Tingting pointed at Ye Qiong and said, "You call her senior sister?" Just talked to her in the garden? ”

Zhang Jingzhi said in surprise: "Yes, after I entered the teacher's door, I naturally wanted to call my senior sister." As for the Tao, it is even more reasonable to go out of the same discipline and learn from each other. ”

Wen Tingting's face flashed with jealousy, envy, anger, shame and other looks, and finally humiliation, she humiliated Ye Qiong haha: "I didn't expect that it was the prince of Korea who just talked to Sister Qiong, and Sister Qiong's luck is really good." ”

Ye Qiong smiled: "I'm not lucky, I'm just learning well, otherwise I wouldn't have been accepted as a disciple by Mr. Zou." ”

Wen Tingting's face was blue and white for a while, and finally she just laughed.

Ye Qiong didn't bother to pay attention to her, so she made an excuse and retreated.

Zhang Jingzhi made a lip shape to Ye Qiong, Ye Qiong could read it, he was talking about "flattening".

Ye Qiong smiled, bowed slightly, and returned to Ye Yao's side.

Ye Yao was a little scared and a little curious: "Why did you talk to Zhang Shizi." ”

"He asked me how I could please Master, and I said something." Ye Qiong said, and asked about the skirt again, "Sister, when I went out, did anyone leave the table, and also, did anyone have an apricot yellow skirt?" ”

Ye Yao pondered: "During the period, a lot of people left the table, and I didn't pay attention. As for the apricot yellow skirt, it seems that Ye Mei and Ye Qin have both worn it, but Ye Mei has just been splashed with tea on her skirt, so she left the table and changed to a ......"

Ye Qiong thought in her heart, both of them were apricot yellow skirts, Ye Qin approached Wen Tingting, and Ye Mei changed her skirt......

Both were suspicious and could not be determined who it was.

But both of them are from the second room, and the girl in the second room stared at herself, and told Wen Tingting about it, what did she want to do?

On the other side, Wen Tingting framed Ye Qiong but failed, but was disrupted by Zhang Jingzhi, and was so angry that she leaned on the couch and asked the maid to press her head.

A maid came to report that Mrs. Huai Enhou was visiting, Wen Tingting wanted to refuse, but she thought about whether it was her mother or approved.

Who knew that Ye Fuxian also brought someone here, and said with a smile: "Tingting, didn't the third prince still remember the feud from the last time, and let you deal with the Ye family, I brought you a helper!" ”

Wen Tingting glanced at Ye Fuxian's back, Ye jokingly arched his hand to her: "I'm here to help the side concubine plot to snatch the Xie family's dowry, and after the matter is completed, you will have seven and three of me, how about it?" ”

Wen Tingting propped up her upper body, looked at Ye Play with interest, and said with a smile: "Deal." ”

Now that the third prince asked her to deal with the Ye family, she didn't say how to deal with it, she naturally thought of the Xie family's dowry.

The Huaienhou Mansion declined, and she spent a lot of money in the palace, and she had already been greedy for that dowry.

In this way, I also suppressed the arrogance of Ye Qiong in the third room, didn't I worship a good master, and I didn't want to think about how my father was still in prison, how to compare with her, the prince's concubine?

Wen Tingting thought and laughed viciously.
