Chapter Twenty-Four: A Ye Zhiqiu

Yun Tan ran all the way back to Lingqing Courtyard, not caring about messing up his posture and appearance, falling off the hairpin ring and shaking. Since following Chuxin to Anguo Mansion, she has been cautious, not daring to make mistakes, and trying to learn how to be a "lady", not because she is afraid of these mortals, but because she cares about Chuxin's feelings. Chuxin has always been a person who doesn't know himself very well, he thinks he is a cold and withdrawn person, but in fact, he is extremely compassionate and affectionate in his heart. Yun Tan could feel Chu Chu's feelings for An Guogong's mother and son, he wouldn't express it, but she already knew when they met for the first time that "relatives" were important in Chu Chu's heart. Therefore, even though she knew that the old lady was secretly making things difficult for her, she still tried her best to be thoughtful and learn how to be a woman that the old lady liked from all aspects.

But now, Yun Tan feels that no matter what she does, it is redundant, her original intention does not like her, and everything she does is in vain. Yun Tan deeply hated herself for being useless, unable to leave him, and resented the injustice of God, she had worked hard for five hundred years to transform into a human form, why did she fall on such an important thing on him, so that she had to be subject to him everywhere! And when did such a thing fall on Chu Chu, why didn't she even remember it at all? Then she complained about Chu Chu, what point was she inferior to that Wang Chuye? Why was he completely different from that woman and herself? It is true that the woman is not ugly, she can also write and ink, please the old lady, and her background is not bad... The more Yun Tan thought about it, the more irritable he felt, so he simply pulled out all the beaded hairpin flowers on his head and threw them on the ground, and lay down on the bed to sleep.

As soon as she woke up, she heard voices outside, and she couldn't hear what was being said, but she could hear laughter from time to time, and she felt that the atmosphere was not bad, and she felt curious. On weekdays, except for Brother Qiao and laughing with her, although the other girls take good care of her, their attitude towards her has never been salty or light, so Ling Qingyuan has always only had her voice, and the girls never laugh, what's wrong today?

Yun Tan walked to the door to look, but saw a few thin bamboos under the beauty is embroidering, surrounded by a number of girls, pointing at the embroidery in her hand, she has a smile on her face, tirelessly said something to them, the girls nodded sometimes and sometimes shook their heads, and the crowd was so discordant and happy. Yun Tan looked at it, the embroidered beauty was Wang Chuye who Shi Cai had seen in the garden.

Yun Tan looked at the "lady show" who was known as "the first beauty in Jiangcheng", she faced a group of maids, but she didn't do anything about it, but mingled with them and laughed Yan Yan. Wang Chuye looked up and saw Yun Tan standing at the door of the Water Pavilion, she was wearing a snow-white gauze dress, her skirt was dragging behind her, there was no trace of decoration around her body, her hair was scattered and she was standing barefoot on the Water Pavilion. Wang Chuye felt a tremor in her heart, at this moment, Yun Tan and the garden were completely two people, one was willful and arrogant, and the other was cold and distant without dust.

Wang Chuye stood up, handed the embroidered bandage in her hand to her personal maid, walked slowly to Yun Tan with a smile on her face, and said: "Miss Yun woke up? ”

Yun Tan nodded noncommittally. She should have hated her, but for some reason she just couldn't hate her smiling face. She turned sideways and let Wang Chuye into the water pavilion, and the two knelt on both sides of the low table, and a maid brought fragrant tea to the two.

"Miss Yun's tea here is really fragrant, and I can see my aunt's good intentions on Miss Yun. Wang Chuye put down the teacup and appreciated.

Yun Tan has a hard time speaking, looking at her food and clothing, which is not a rare treasure, it is worth a lot, if you want to say that the old lady is not good to her, I am afraid that no one will believe it. Yun Tan smiled bitterly and said sarcastically: "I'm worried about the old lady! I've been here for so a month or two, not only have I arranged a yard of girls to follow me in front of and behind, but I also never let me meet with Chuxin, which shows my good intentions." Knowing that she can't leave her original intention, she shouldn't offend people in her words, but she just doesn't resentment her original attitude, angry at his indifferent attitude that he has always stayed out of the matter, since he turned a deaf ear to her, why did she swallow her anger for him.

Wang Chuye hurriedly made a silent gesture towards Yun Tan, signaling her not to speak again.

Yun Tan didn't pay attention to Wang Chuye's reminder at all, and said with a smile: "Is there anything you can't say, and you're afraid that others will say it?"

Wang Chuye's smile gradually disappeared, and he shook his head helplessly and said, "Miss Yun should still think a little about what she says, otherwise she will only hurt herself." ”

Yun Tan sneered: "Miss Wang Chu is deeply favored, so naturally she can't realize it, and naturally she doesn't need to say anything, Gu Tan is just an orphan girl, isn't she not satisfied with such fine clothes and jade food?

"Ye'er didn't mean that, Miss Yun has a straightforward temperament, not a scheming person, in this Jiang City, it is really rare to have a temperament like Miss Yun, Ye'er is appreciating Miss Yun to remind her. What's more, Ye'er can see that Brother Xiuyuan cares about Miss Yun, and I don't want Miss Yun to worry him. ”

"Don't worry, your Xiuyuan brother has worried about me. ”

"For example, if Miss Yun's words just now reach my aunt's ears, it is really not a good thing, if Brother Xiuyuan knows, wouldn't it be embarrassing?"

"He asked you to make peace?"

"No, I came on my own. My aunt kept me to stay for a while, and I will live in the house in the near future, so I can come over from time to time to talk to Miss Yun. ”

While the two were talking, a girl came to report, saying that Ye Zhiqiu, the Duke of Anguo, had set up a welcoming banquet for Wang Chuye in the evening, and only invited the eldest young master Ye Xiuyuan, and invited Wang Chuye to Ye Zhiqiu's Suihan Hall for a small gathering in the evening. Wang Chuye looked at Yun Tan and sincerely invited: "Miss Yun, come together, in previous years, it was only me and Zhiqiu, this year it is easy for you to come back and get together together!"

Yun Tan remembered that Shicai was annoyed with his original intention, and it was inconvenient to pass in the evening, so he refused. But Wang Chuye invited her again and again, she went as soon as her heart went sideways, she couldn't always be bored in Lingqing Courtyard alone, see more new things and play, even if she had to return to Tan Pavilion forever one day in the future, it would not be a loss. Shan Gao wants her to live happily, why can't she get along with herself.

In the evening, when the clouds passed, the original intention had not yet arrived, and a table of wine had been set up in the courtyard, Ye Zhiqiu and Wang Chuye sat together and talked, and the two of them sat on one side, probably because the voice was too quiet, and both of them leaned forward quite closely, looking like lovers whispering from a distance. The pines and cypresses are planted all over the hall in the cold hall, even under the reflection of the lanterns in the hall, it looks too cold, and a body like Ye Zhiqiu is not conducive to recuperating here. Wang Chuye saw Yun Tan, and enthusiastically stepped forward to take Yun Tan's hand and brought it to the table, Yun Tan saluted Ye Zhiqiu and sat in the seat of Wang Chuye's left hand.
