In the past few days, perhaps in order to leave a good impression on the Ye family, who will visit in a few days, Du Siheng has sent Ye Yao a lot of things. Especially after the news of the Gu family's stake in Qiluo Lou came out, Du Siheng gave some gifts in the name of congratulations, and many of them explained that the concierge was going to give them to Ye Yao alone.

Ye Qiong naturally got a gift, it was two mountain travelogues, which were written a little interestingly.

Ye Qiong was curious that Ye Yao had received a gift, so she went to Ye Yao's Qiong Yao Pavilion, and asked Ye Yao with a smile: "What is it this time?"

Ye Yao's cheeks turned red, and she said, "It's the jackpot of the polo club before, and I picked two good ones to give to me......"

Ye Qiong smiled even more happily: "I originally wanted to come and rub some back, but since it was specially chosen, then I am embarrassed to ask for it." ”

On the other side, there was a parrot with a tongue, and Ye Jin, who was teasing it, also smiled and said: "The little sister wants it, just ask me, Du Siheng gave the eldest sister a token of love, you don't want it." ”

Ye Yao blushed even more, blocked her face behind her with the embroidery shed in her hand, and said, "If you say that again, I'll leave." ”

Ye Qiong and Ye Jin laughed together, Ye Jin put down the parrot and handed it to the maid to take care of it, and his tone was a little emotional: "Speaking of polo, it seems that I haven't gone out riding with Shaodan for a long time, and my equestrian skills are probably unfamiliar." ”

Ye Yao put down the embroidery shed, looking stunned, and Ye Qiong also sighed in her heart.

Now they still have family members in prison, and it is better to go out to visit relatives, and it is impossible to say that the polo club will never go to such a place.

The atmosphere was sluggish for a while, but Ye Jin thought of something, jumped up and said with a smile: "I have a way, I'll go next door to find Shaodan, aren't the eldest sister and the younger sister going out in a while, I'll talk about it when you come back." ”

Ye Qiong and Ye Yao looked at each other and smiled, Ye Qiong said, "Let's wait for what kind of surprise they will come up with." Don't talk about them, sister, are you going to dress like this to see Mrs. Du and Du Sizheng? ”

Ye Yao glanced at the half-worn jacket on her body, and said with a smile: "Then I will leave it all to you to dress up." ”

Ye Qiong smiled and called Liuying, and together with Ye Yao's maids Xiang'er and Yu'er, they picked up the newly made clothes of Qiluo Building.

Ye Yao shook her head, her eyes full of pampering and longing.

……………………

The carriage of the Ye Mansion slowly drove into the Ye Mansion, and finally stopped at the second gate, and the housekeeper's mother, who was waiting there early in the morning, greeted the Xie family, who had just stood with her two daughters, and smiled kindly: "I have met Mrs. Xie." The old lady has been reading it for a long time, these two are Miss Ye and Miss Ye, they are really born with a good Peugeot appearance! ”

The housekeeper's mother personally helped Xie down, and couldn't help but quietly look at Ye Yao, smiling more and more sincerely.

The housekeeper's mother looked at Ye Yao, and Ye Qiong looked at her, looking at the color of this mother's clothes, she should have a high status beside Mrs. Du, and Mrs. Du really cares about her sister.

Xie Shi naturally discovered this, and he ironed it in his heart, smiling and letting the housekeeper's mother lead the way.

A few people walked through the verandah and the garden, and when they walked to the door of the main courtyard, Ye Qiong found a round ball rushing out, and was questioning, the ball stopped in front of them, it turned out to be a boy about ten years old, and the age should be Du Siheng's younger brother Du Siyan.

Du Siyan bowed to everyone, and finally smiled at Ye Qiong alone, and said: "Sister Ye Qiong, I have heard of you a long time ago, I heard that you are the first in every monthly exam, I can worship you!" It's a pity that by the time I started the third level of schoolwork, you had already moved up to the fourth level......"

Ye Qiong was stunned, Du Siyan was a child, she knew that the lobby sister Ye Yu had praised Du Siyan's intelligence with her. After she worshipped the master, the master made the decision to promote her to the fourth level, and originally wanted to continue to rise to the fifth level, but she was afraid that she would be too ostentatious and persuade the master to give up.

I didn't expect the Du family to have a child who adored her so much.

Ye Qiong smiled and bent her eyes, squatted down and asked Du Siyan: "You are Du Siyan?" I heard Ye Fuzi talk about you. Why did you come running here alone, watching your people? ”

Just as he was saying this, another person came from the direction that Du Siyan ran out, and it was Du Siheng.

Ye Yao's cheeks turned red all of a sudden, and she lowered her head, but she couldn't help but quietly raise her eyes to look at Du Siheng.

Du Siheng's ears were also a little red, and he was a little blamed for his impatience, why did he instigate his younger brother to run out so rashly, he saluted Xie dignifiedly: "Mrs. Xie, I'm really sorry, my brother has caused you trouble." ”

Xie Shi smiled and said that it was not troublesome, and looked at the eye contact between Ye Yao and Du Siheng that no one thought had noticed.

Du Siheng tried his best to suppress his happy mood, so that it would not appear too frivolous on his face, and took the initiative to take the place of the housekeeper's mother and bring the group to Mrs. Du.

Old Madam Du had been looking forward to it for a long time, and when she saw that they arrived, she hurriedly ordered the tea, water, melons and fruits, and pulled Ye Yao and Ye Qiong affectionately to look at them.

Ye Yao and Mrs. Du have already seen it, but today Ye Yao was specially dressed up by Ye Qiong, which made Mrs. Du's eyes shine even more.

Ye Yao is wearing a lotus lotus color four-fold Ruyi stand-up collar shirt today, with two fully open and half-open orchids embroidered on the hem and placket, the skirt is a water-red silver-embroidered phalaenopsis eight-piece skirt, and the earrings are two small upside-down lily of the valley flowers, the hair is tied into a single screw bun, and a dragonfly hairpin with burnt blue inlaid beads is inserted obliquely. Dressed up, Ye Yao's temperament is like an orchid, gentle and dignified.

Old Madam Du nodded secretly, let go of Ye Yao, and said to Du Siheng and Du Siyan: "I'll talk to Mrs. Xie, you and Yan'er will follow the two Ye girls to measure their bodies first, and then take them to the garden for a walk." ”

Du Siheng responded, and Ye Qiong was overjoyed.

Mrs. Du is leaving time for her sister to get along with Du Siheng.

The courtyard of the Du family is slightly larger than that of the Ye family, and the flowers and plants in the courtyard are well maintained, which shows that the owner is a person with interest.

Du Siheng took the sisters to a water pavilion, but got down to business first: "Another reason for inviting you here this time is to say the news to you face-to-face. ”

Ye Qiong suddenly sat up straight, what can make Du Siheng pay so much attention should not be simple news, Ye Qiong said: "Please speak." ”

Du Siheng pondered the words and said: "Dali Temple has been investigating the case of calling souls, but the progress of the investigation is very slow, until a few days ago someone proposed to start with the two monks who were poisoned and died in the public court. ”

Ye Qiong and Ye Yao's faces sank, they were all listening to the trial that day, and they saw with their own eyes how the two monks were poisoned to death.

Du Siheng's expression was even more solemn: "Dali Temple started with poison first, and asked the imperial doctor in the palace after asking the prince, but I only knew that it was a chronic poison." It took more than half a month of testing with medical rats and cats and dogs before it was speculated that the two monks had been poisoned before they were handed over to Dali Temple. ”

Ye Qiong and Ye Yao were shocked, and Ye Yao asked, "Then is this poison in the prison of Jingzhao Yin Mansion, or the Criminal Department?" ”

Ye Qiong shook her head firmly and said, "Those two monks had been locked up in the prison of Jingzhao Yin Mansion until after the Soul Calling Case, and the Criminal Department temporarily transferred people to the prison of the Criminal Department for a few days for the convenience of the three divisions. I went to visit my father and uncle in the prison of the Criminal Department, and His Majesty has been staring at this case since the incident, and there are even Jinyiwei in the prison of the Criminal Department who are watching it, so it is impossible that he will be in the Criminal Department. ”

"That's what I thought too." Du Siheng frowned and said, "The people who investigated the case in Dali Temple also thought of this. ”

Ye Qiong had a lot of thoughts in her heart.

As long as Dali Temple finds out about Jingzhao Yin's Mansion, it will know that the fourth uncle once bought the jailer to see the two monks, and the fourth uncle will not be able to get rid of the crime of bribing the monk to frame his father and uncle.

Those two monks, could it be that they were fed medicine by the fourth uncle at this time?

But Ye Qiong always felt that something was wrong.

The fourth uncle, Ye Qiong, understands that although he has some talent, he is not good at acting directly and detouring, otherwise he would not have done such a thing as asking himself to leave the clan. Like a chronic poison, a plan that happened to be stuck on the day of the third division's trial was not like something that the fourth uncle would plan.

It's not the fourth uncle, is it someone from Jing Zhaoyin's mansion?

Jing Zhao Yin Mansion was ordered by His Majesty to remove a group of people after the soul calling case, is it one of the people who were replaced, or one of the few who remained?

In an instant, a person flashed in Ye Qiong's mind, this person was connected with the fourth uncle, and also had a connection with his father and eldest uncle, who had served in Jingzhao Yin Mansion before and after the soul calling case, and even helped himself in the previous case of Ye Wan.

It's Erboye Chanyan!

Ye Qiong shuddered suddenly, and the doubts about Ye Chanyan in her heart continued to deepen.

Opposite Ye Qiong, Du Siheng continued: "Dali Temple just found out that your fourth uncle had bought through the jailer and had contact with those two monks, I invited you to come, and it is this matter that I want to talk about." I heard that Ye Zuhui's injuries were more serious, and he couldn't even stay, and Dali Temple was not good at summoning him, so he sent me to Huaihuaye's house to ask him about it. ”

Ye Qiong bowed: "I know about this matter, and I will talk to Dafang about this matter." ”

At this point, Ye Qiong vaguely mentioned: "The fourth uncle now lives with the second uncle, and the relationship between the second uncle and the fourth uncle is not very good, but they have a close relationship......

Ye Yao looked surprised, even she didn't know about this.

Du Siheng nodded knowingly, and then talked about other things around the topic, which made Ye Yao laugh again.

Ye Qiong had a smile on her face, still uneasy in her heart.

Did the second uncle do anything in the soul calling case?

……………………

When Ye Qiong and his party returned home after lunch in Du Mansion, Lu Shaodan and Ye Jin were beckoning a few maids and wives to clean up the Ye family's martial arts training ground.

The Ye family's martial arts training ground was built when Ye Qiong's grandfather was still there, it was a little small, but it was enough to practice martial arts, and Ye Jin had also practiced fist and foot kung fu here with his grandfather for several years when he was a child.

After the death of his grandfather, Ye Qishu was a person who liked to drill the study, and the martial arts training ground was abandoned.

Ye Jin had already noticed that they were back, and said with a smile: "Quick, go and change into a light set of clothes." ”

Ye Qiong tilted her head and looked at them curiously, Lu Shaodan didn't say anything, just looked at her and smiled, her smile sincere and open.

The uneasiness in Ye Qiong's heart that had arisen because of the second uncle suddenly dissipated a lot, and she and Ye Yao muttered and went to change their clothes.

By the time they returned, the martial arts training ground had changed dramatically, with two doors made of a few erected wooden poles and fine nets in front and back.

Ye Jin threw a bow ball in their direction, and Ye Qiong stretched out his hand and lightly picked it up in his arms.

"It turned out to be Kemari." Ye Qiong said with a smile, "After the two doors have been set up, then we have to divide the teams to decide the winner, I want to be on a team with Brother Shaodan!" ”

Ye Jin's eyes widened, she stomped her feet, and said angrily: "Little sister, you dislike me!" ”

Lu Shaodan laughed out loud and said, "Always take care of Ye Qiong's youngest, I will let you have three balls." ”

Ye Jin jumped even more: "Who wants you to let me, I am in a team with my eldest sister, and my eldest sister has also practiced horse riding, so I don't believe it!" ”

Ye Yao smiled shyly, embarrassed to say that she was actually not very confident.

Xie Shi and Mrs. Shen also came over to watch the excitement, and the most lively Liuying took the initiative to serve as the referee and blew the whistle.

With a whistle, Liuying threw the ball high, Lu Shaodan lazily did not move, Ye Qiong's body was the most flexible, but due to lack of size, Ye Jin was still the first, and he turned around angrily and asked Lu Shaodan: "Shaodan, why did you let the ball go!" ”

Lu Shaodan was slightly stunned when he heard Ye Qiong call him by his name, then spread his hands and said with a smile: "I said okay, let three balls." ”

Ye Qiong was so angry that he ignored him, and Ye Jin had already laughed loudly: "You let this for nothing, but I don't have to take advantage of you." As he spoke, he raised his foot and scored a goal.

Liuying scored and threw another ball, this time Ye Qiong learned a lesson, did not grab the ball first, deliberately blocked Ye Jin's action first, and waited for the ball to fall before grabbing the ball to his feet, but unfortunately Ye Yao snatched the ball back again, and Ye Jin and Ye Yao scored another goal.

Ye Qiong is a person who doesn't like to lose, and if she can do her best, she naturally has to do her best, when the third ball was dropped, she grabbed the ball again, and her feet flashed past Ye Yao's block, but Ye Jin was also in front of her.

Ye Qiong paused, but saw that Lu Shaodan had followed behind him, so he simply and tacitly kicked the ball back, Lu Shaodan took the ball, raised his foot and kicked it into the door.

The thin net by the door was stretched very far, and the wooden pole shook violently, which showed the power of the ball.

Ye Qiong jumped up in surprise and raised a bright smile to Lu Shaodan.

Her spirit was flying, as if she was really an ordinary twelve-year-old boudoir girl, not the little girl of the Ye family who had returned from two lives.

In a simple kick bow, Ye Qiong and Lu Shaodan won without suspense, and Mrs. Shen decently took a mutton fat hosta and a jade pendant that can be worn by both men and women from her cage and gave them to the two of them as color heads.

Lu Shaodan accepted it in front of Mrs. Shen, and when Ye Qiong sent him out of the mansion, he quietly gave her the jade pei: "I don't need this thing, I'll leave it to you." Let's go, don't be so happy tonight that you can't sleep because you won Keju. ”

Ye Qiong just wanted to stuff it back, but Lu Shaodan couldn't even see his back.

Ye Qiong accepted the jade pendant, and it wasn't until she was lying in bed that night that she remembered that she seemed to have called Lu Shaodan's name directly today.

She was suddenly a little embarrassed, and tossed and turned all night.
