This night was Ye Lingwu's first night in the Hou Mansion in Ningbei.

The room was warm, even if it was only covered with a layer of bedding, it would not be cold, and the tip of his nose lingered with soothing sandalwood, Ye Lingwu closed his eyes, and thousands of pictures flashed in his mind, most of which were related to the Ye family.

Before her death, her mother kept holding her hand, telling her to be strong in the future, not to feel sorry for herself when she encounters anything, and to tell her not to go against Ye Huaisheng, but also to get along with Liu Yuping.

She agreed, but it didn't take long for her to be sent to Qingquan Temple.

Whether it is a scorching day or a cold winter, she has to walk the mountain road for more than half an hour with the scriptures in her arms, and go to the Baode Hall to chant the scriptures.

The sister-in-law in the temple always likes to look at her with sympathetic and pitiful eyes, that kind of look, so that she can't raise her head, and every time she thinks about it, she feels a tingling in her heart.

Ye Lingwu opened her eyes suddenly, and the sky was about to be revealed, and Rong Xiu just came to knock on her door: "Miss Lingwu is up quickly, the old lady Shen's house is lit up." ”

Hearing this, Ye Lingwu hurriedly dressed and went to open the door, and when the two arrived in the outer hall, Jiang Lanshu was already waiting in the house.

In her spare time, she saw that Ye Lingwu's body was meager and asked, "This New Year is the coldest, why didn't Sister Lingwu add a cloak?" ”

Ye Lingwu dared to say that he was afraid that he would not have time to get up late, so he said silently: "Xu is too warm in the house, so I didn't pay attention, and I can go back after serving Mrs. Shen." ”

As soon as the words fell, there were bursts of footsteps outside the house, Ye Lingwu looked back, and saw two girls in brocade clothes walking in the courtyard, one red and one green, followed by several female envoys.

"You're the cousin from Yuzhou?" The girl in red spoke up.

She is not very old, but she is dressed like a showman, and she wears a lot of pearls and emeralds. The girl in green on the side was lined with a much more elegant lining.

Jiang Lanshu blessed her body, and then introduced to Ye Lingwu: "These two are Shen Pan'er, the third girl in the second master's courtyard, and Shen Yue'er, the fourth girl. ”

Hearing this, Ye Lingwu saluted the two of them one by one: "I've seen three girls, I've seen four girls." ”

Without waiting for Shen Yue'er to return the courtesy, Shen Pan'er said: "Yuzhou is really a good place to raise people, and the ice muscles and jade bones born by the cousin girl are really enviable." You arrived in the capital last night? ”

Ye Lingwu replied: "I arrived last night." ”

While speaking, Xuan's mother helped Mrs. Shen Shen to the outer hall. As soon as Mrs. Shen Shen came out, she saw several girls talking around the door, and then glanced at Mama Xuan.

Mama Xuan understood, and said to a few people: "Girls, don't stand at the door, come in and have breakfast." ”

A few girls first greeted Mrs. Shen for peace, and then sat down.

At the dinner table, Shen Pan'er was chattering like a little sparrow, and the old lady Shen couldn't stop laughing, but Shen Yue'er kept silent, and her face was flat and buried in the food.

Mrs. Shen scooped a mouthful of porridge into her mouth, suddenly thought of something, then picked up a handkerchief and gently wiped the corner of her lips, and said, "By the way, I plan to let Ling Yatou listen to the study with you, and you will go to the Rong family private school tomorrow to bring her." ”

It seemed like an unintentional decision, but the girls at the table were stunned.

The Rong family is the Earl of Rongzheng's mansion, and the students in the private school are all noble families, or Qingliu families, and they are always related to the word "elegant" in order to enter the mansion to study.

Jiang Lanshu's eyebrows sank, and Bu Cai's hand paused for a moment, glancing at Ye Lingwu without a trace, but her heart was pantothenic but she didn't dare to say anything.

Although Shen Paner didn't know why the old lady would let a cousin girl from a merchant listen to the school with the Hou girl, she also responded obediently.

And Ye Lingwu, who is a beneficiary, is naturally happy in his heart. She thought that Mrs. Shen didn't like her, but she didn't expect that Mrs. Shen would let her go to school in addition to dialing the female envoy to her.

After breakfast, Mrs. Shen wanted to go into the small Buddha hall to recite the scriptures, but the girls didn't dare to disturb them, so they dispersed.

Shen Paner pulled Ye Lingwu to the garden, saying that it was too late to see each other, and she wanted to talk more and be warm.

The two walked hand in arm, leaving Shen Yue'er and several female envoys far behind.

Ye Lingwu glanced back at the green-clothed figure behind him and asked, "Third girl, aren't we waiting for the fourth girl?" ”

Shen Pan'er buried and said: "Wait for that wood to do, if you say ten words to her, she may not be able to deal with it." ”

The Houfu Garden is much more magnificent than ordinary people, pavilions, flowers and trees, several female envoys on the path are sweeping the snow, and the two of them walk slowly along the verandah, but they don't know that the people who look at the scenery have also become the scenery.

On the terrace high up, stood a tall young man, who was draped in a dark red mink fur, unique in the withering winter snow.

"I said Jingyan, when did a beauty come to your house, why didn't you mention it to me?" Rong Yu next to him stepped forward and said.

Shen Ci smiled playfully: "Want to know?" You call Shen Pan'er, if she is in a good mood today, she may be able to reply to you. ”

Rong Yu was scared, and replied: "Don't don't, I can't afford to mess with your third sister, I refuted her in the master's class last time, and she almost didn't scold me to death after class." ”

After that, he added in a low voice: "Your third sister is really similar to you." ”

Shen Ci glanced at him contemptuously and said, "Looking for a fight?" ”

"Don't dare, don't dare, who dares to mess with you."

While speaking, Shen Paner and Ye Lingwu had slowly walked to the terrace, and seeing that they were about to stay on the verandah, Shen Ci took a jade wrench from his thumb and held it in the palm of his hand, and his narrow eyes narrowed evilly-

That wrench smashed on Ye Lingwu's forehead accurately!

Ye Lingwu sighed lightly, covered his forehead and gasped, looked in the direction where he was smashed, and saw two teenagers standing on the terrace.

Shen Pan'er saw that Ye Lingwu's head was red, and she said indignantly: "Rong Yu, what are you doing?" ”

Rong Yu was wronged, and immediately propped up the wooden fence, exposing half of his body and facing down: "What's the matter with me, this was all smashed by your second brother, and it has nothing to do with me." ”

Betrayed mercilessly.

Shen Pan'er looked at Shen Ci, and said in a significantly softened tone: "Second brother, Sister Ling Wu was brought up by her grandmother from Yuzhou and raised under her knees, don't bully her." ”

Shen Ci pressed his eyes impatiently, and said leisurely: "Don't use my grandmother to press me, I'm just a mistake, how can I say bullying." ”

Listening to the young man's tone that did not feel guilty at all, Ye Lingwu's pair of watery apricot eyes finally became angry.

If the wrench is off even one inch, you will be blind!

She said angrily: "What a mistake, the wrench is in your hand, how can you suddenly fly over and hit me." ”

Rong Yu and Shen Pan'er were both stunned. Unexpectedly, this girl looked thin and weak, and she was not ambiguous.

Shen Ci hooked the corners of his mouth with interest and said, "Yes, I just smashed it on purpose, and my cousin is going to my grandmother to complain?" ”

Ye Lingwu choked, she didn't expect this person to be well-dressed, but he was actually a scoundrel.

The atmosphere froze, and Rong Yu came out to play a round and said: "I said Jingyan, who is this girl from your grandmother's family, don't provoke others, so as not to be punished again." ”

Ye Lingwu's heart was shocked, and he suddenly raised his head to look at the young man in red.
