Aunt Lou went to ask the monks of the White Horse Temple to come to an upper courtyard and took Ye Jintang there in person.
Same big yard, completely different decoration. If Ye Jintang lived in a hut before, this yard now is a mansion.
There is even a small snow viewing hall separated by a screen in the main room. There is a fire pit for burning charcoal and a relatively large charcoal stove.
Even the cushions in the room were thicker than those in her previous courtyard.
Looking at the back room, there is no one living in the house, and there is no biting chill after entering. It can be seen that the walls of the house are very thick, at least several degrees below zero, and cannot be penetrated.
Moreover, the room is no longer empty, there are several good landscape paintings hanging on the walls, and there are many more pieces of furniture in the room than before.
"Mama Lou, isn't my house specially arranged for me by the old lady?"
"yes."
Aunt Lou nodded, how could Madam Ye allow Ye Jintang to enjoy the special benefits of the Hou Mansion.
"very good."
After coming out of the upper courtyard, Ye Jintang had just returned to the dormitory, and was about to let Liuli pack her luggage and move to the upper courtyard, when she saw Ye Yanran and several maids and women walking toward her courtyard.
"Hey, why is Sixth Sister wandering around outside and not copying scriptures for grandma?"
Ye Yanran stepped forward to talk to Ye Jintang with a smile.
"It turns out that the eldest sister is here. I stayed in the house for too long, so I came out for some air."
Ye Yanran didn't say anything when she saw Grandma Lou following her.
She just stood at the door of the dormitory and told Ye Jintang, and what she said was nothing more than that Mrs. Ye missed her and felt sorry for her, which was why she braved the heavy snow to come to see her.
"Sister, it's snowing heavily outside, why don't you go inside and talk."
Ye Yanran glanced at the shabby little yard. The hall was still dark with candles, and it felt dark inside.
She, Ye Yanran, would not go into such a dilapidated house.
"Don't bother me. I just want to see that you are well. Go and copy the scriptures. I won't disturb you anymore."
Ye Yanran left these few words and hurried away with others.
"Is there something wrong with Ye Yanran's brain? You came all the way just to talk nonsense to me?"
Ye Jintang just muttered a few words, but then he thought something was wrong.
When the two of them were standing at the gate of the courtyard talking just now, many pilgrims saw them.
Could it be that Ye Yanran was trying to calm down the controversy over her kneeling down to copy scriptures.
Unfortunately, if it had been yesterday, it might have been of some use, but today, even if Mrs. Ye came in person, it would be useless.
Now everyone can clearly see how Mrs. Ye used some dirty methods to torment her. If she wants to clear her name, just dream about it.
"Mother Lou, go and ask for some charcoal. The fire pit in the upper courtyard is not small, and there won't be enough charcoal to burn it."
"Yes, slave, go right away."
After sending Aunt Lou away, Ye Jintang and Liuli moved her luggage to the upper courtyard together.
While moving her luggage, she took out some more items from the space.
She doesn't like to wrong herself. Even if she lives in a temple, she still wants to live more comfortably.
"Girl, when I went to get charcoal just now, I saw Yuxiang, who was waiting beside the eldest girl, also getting charcoal."
"Oh, my eldest sister also wants to live in White Horse Temple?"
Ye Jintang felt very keenly that something was wrong. Logically speaking, Ye Yanran was here to help the old lady clear her name. Now that she has completed her task, she should return to the capital immediately.
No matter how good the upper courtyard of White Horse Temple is, it is far worse than my comfort zone.
"Mother Lou, go and find out where Ye Yanran lives and why she came to White Horse Temple."
"I'm a slave. Let's go and inquire about it."
In the middle of the afternoon, the fine snowflakes outside the house became heavier and heavier, gradually turning into heavy snow.
The room was warm, and Ye Jintang was warming himself by the fire pit in the main room, drinking hot tea and reading medical books.
Liuli took out a pen, ink, paper and inkstone and continued to write down her prescription.
She has written nearly ten books, but this is just the beginning. There are still many prescriptions that she has not yet written.
"Girl, this old slave has heard about it."
Grandma Lou held a white oil-paper umbrella and hurried into the house. When she went out, her shoes and socks were soaked through, which showed that there was really a lot of snow outside.
"how?"
"The eldest girl is also staying in the upper courtyard, but the name card is not the name card of the Hou Mansion, but the name card of her maternal ancestor Gan's family."
"Just now I stood on the porch and took a peek. There were several unfamiliar boys in the eldest lady's yard. I don't know where these people came from."
"This slave knows everyone in the eldest girl's yard. It's really hard to get too close to find out who is in the eldest girl's house."
"Well, go and do your work."
Ye Jintang sent Aunt Lou away, and became more and more curious. Why did Ye Yanran suddenly come to White Horse Temple?
"Liu Li, bring me my human skin mask and I'll go check it out."
"Girl, don't take risks. The human skin mask can only change a person's appearance, but not the body shape or voice. It's easy to reveal the secret. Girl, you want to see who is in Ye Yanran's house. This is not difficult."
As she spoke, Liuli took out a black wax pill from the medicine box.
"This is called a thunderbolt. It is used to escape. If it is thrown on the ground, it will explode into a cloud of white smoke."
"I was bored, so I added some medicine to the thunder bombs. The smoke from the explosion would be very choking."
"As long as you throw a thunderbolt into Ye Yanran's yard, the people in the house will definitely come out."
Ye Jintang thought the same thing, the thunder bullet could completely catch the opponent off guard, and he was afraid that people in the room would come out to take a look.
"Then what are you waiting for? Let's go now."
The two of them put on thick clothes and big hoods, covering themselves tightly, leaving only their two eyes outside.
The gate of Ye Yanran's yard was closed, and the woman guarding the gate could vaguely be heard complaining that the weather was too cold, and Ye Yanran should not let them guard the gate.
Ye Jintang and Liuli exchanged glances and quietly left for an unused yard next door.
Liuli moved a wooden ladder and put it on the wall, "Girl, go to the door and look. After a while, a stranger will come out of the house. You can see it through the crack in the door."
"Okay, be careful not to expose yourself."
Liuli nodded, rubbed his arms, and threw the thunder bullet into the yard.
There was a muffled bang and a pungent smell came from the next door. Ye Jintang couldn't help but cover his mouth with a handkerchief.
Soon the screams of women and maids came from the courtyard. The woman guarding the door was frightened to death. She quickly opened the door and rushed out, coughing as she ran.
"Yanran, hurry up, hold your breath, I'll take you out."
Ye Jintang, who was hiding behind the door, vaguely felt that the man's voice sounded familiar, but for a while he couldn't remember where he had heard it.
"Your Highness, my throat hurts."
"Let's leave quickly. I don't know if the smoke is poisonous."
A group of people rushed out of the yard. Ye Jintang looked at the Fourth Highness Xiao Yi who ran out and clicked his tongue. It turned out that the two had hooked up so early.
She asked why Ye Yanran suddenly stayed in Baima Temple. It turned out that she was here to meet her lover.
