Dawn shines through the window, the sun shines on the mountain top, and the sparse shadows slant. Although what happened last night affected her rest, Ye Yayou, who had a very regular schedule, still woke up at dawn.
The little maid Luhua had prepared a set of toiletries early. When she heard the noise coming from the house, she knocked on the door politely and only came in after getting permission. She was very familiar with the washcloth to help the inconvenient Ye Xiayou. .
Unlike those families of officials or wealthy families, the maids in the family are chosen after thousands of selections.
Children from poor families like Luhua are sent to serve in such a high-end mansion by their families at a young age. In a small place like Phoenix City, being able to enter this villa is a good idea for those individuals. For the common people who face the loess and turn their backs to the sky, this is already a great blessing.
I don’t want a golden phoenix to fly out of the chicken coop, I just want my children to no longer have to live a life of relying on the sky. Luhua also has a good reputation for her parents. Although she is young, she is very well-behaved and sensible. Otherwise, Qi Moyan would not have let her serve Ye Xiayou.
Lvhua, who had already been ordered to serve Ye Xiayou, finished washing and led the two of them to the hall. All kinds of refreshments were prepared, and the snacks were also very exquisite, with as many as seven or eight kinds.
Qi Moyan, who had been waiting early, was still attentive and persuaded Ye Xiayou to eat more from time to time. After breakfast, Bilanpo counted the time and showed up. During the day, she took off her hat and threw it behind her. Except for the gray and silver hair, if she didn't speak, her face would really be... No one would guess her true age.
I guess it must be the secret method of absorbing yang and nourishing yin. On the contrary, Bilanpo, who is in her fifties, has a delicate appearance, and her skin is not as good as that of a young girl. It is not an exaggeration to say that she has clear eyebrows, beautiful lips, red lips and white teeth. She really looks like a 28-year-old girl. Such a handsome appearance.
In particular, he has a rather exotic appearance, with high eyebrows and deep eyes, and facial features as sharp as a knife, with sharp edges and corners.
It seemed that for someone like her, the gate was just a decoration. She didn't know if she wanted to show off her skills, so she jumped in again and shocked the nursing staff.
Although I didn’t know who the visitor was at first glance, I could guess who he was by looking at his attire.
He walked into the hall, ignoring the glances of the people around him, and said in a familiar voice: "Second Miss, are you okay?" If you didn't know about the relationship between this foreign woman and the Ye family, you might really think that It's meeting old friends.
Ye Xiayou just responded with a polite smile and did not reply. The woman who gave up on human relations waved her hand in front of Ye Xiayou without any hesitation, and said in a playful tone, "Are you really blind?" This prompted Ye Xiayou to pick up the chopsticks on the table and knock her down.
in the name
Bilan Po, whose name is "po" but looks like a young woman, also responded quickly. She quickly pulled her hand away and said with a smile, "What? You won't let me talk?" Ye Sangen frowned, with a stern look in her eyes.
Qi Moyan, who was still a little afraid of this foreign woman in his heart, spoke at the right time, as if to smooth things over, and said, "Have you eaten, Senior Bilan?" Po Bilan, who regarded the people around her as if they were nothing, didn't even look at the city lord. Even a single glance from an adult, let alone such an awkward opening.
Qi Moyan was asking for trouble, but he still showed a warm and hospitable look and spoke again,
"Add a pair of bowls and chopsticks." Although he was ordering the maid serving in the room, he was speaking to Po Lan who was looking at her tit for tat at midnight.
Bilanpo, who finally had some reaction, turned her gaze towards Qi Moyan and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Lord City Lord, we who have never seen the world, no matter how despicable we are, can't just throw away scraps. Let's roast it." His eyes were full of fun, but his tone was really disdainful.
Obviously frightened by this woman's notoriety, Qi Moyan, who knew he had lost his etiquette, quickly ordered: "Quickly, ask the cook to serve another portion." Bilanpo turned to the Ye family siblings again,
"No need to bother. Now that the third young master and the second young lady have finished eating, let's set off." Qi Moyan obviously didn't understand the meaning of his words and asked in a daze, "What are you doing?" Instead, Ye Xiayou smiled politely and gently. He said: "We, siblings, should go back to Beijing early, so we won't bother you anymore." Qi Moyan finally thought about the situation, but still persuaded him to stay: "If you don't stay a few more days, I will take you with me." Let’s take a good tour of Phoenix City and Phoenix Mountain. There are so many rare and rare animals in it, it’s so fun.” The Ye family siblings, who had their own plans in mind, naturally couldn’t agree. Ye Sangen refused and said, “Brother Qi will Don't make things difficult for me. It's not like you don't know what's going on between us. If you can be so ruthless as to go back this time, you don't know what kind of punishment you will receive. You have also heard about the Luminous Monument. If it continues to be delayed like this, you may be punished. If you have recruited a powerful character, you should go home as soon as possible without delaying." Naturally, he understood the power of the patron king, Qi Moyan advised: "Your Majesty is also a sensible person, go home and admit your mistake, considering the way His Majesty has treated you two before. Even if you are pampered, there won’t be too heavy a punishment.” The hidden secret was definitely not known to the titular Lord of Phoenix City, and he did not explain it in the third night, but echoed: “Naturally, naturally.”
"Oh, it's a pity that Xia You has to leave after just one night. I'm really reluctant to leave." Qi Moyan looked regretful, looking at Ye Xia You with eyes full of nostalgia, the meaning of which is self-evident.
Such tenderness and sweetness made Goosebumps fall all over the night in the middle of the night. Ye Xiayou responded with a smile, embarrassed but not impolite.
Qi Moyan whispered: "I don't know if I have rested after a long and tiring journey all the way here. What if..."
"Is it over yet?" Bilan Po looked at her with cold eyes and interrupted with a cold voice.
"Why so much nonsense?" Qi Moyan, who had always been afraid of this foreign woman, smiled sarcastically, stood up and said: "In this case, a gentleman will not force others to do anything, so I will not force him to stay. Wait a moment, I will send someone. Call Yishan Yishui and the two of them, and then hitch a good carriage." As he spoke, Qi Moyan, with a face full of regret, went to the backyard to make arrangements.
Just after turning the corner, Qi Moyan turned back, looked at the two siblings in the middle of the night and said, "I planned to go back with you two to meet the patron king. But I've been busy with chores in recent days, so I'm prepared After drinking some wine, writing, and playing calligraphy and painting, you two can help me take it back and let the prince take care of it. Why don't you come over and tidy it up first?" The words were naturally meant for Ye Xiayou and Ye Sangeng, and the two siblings naturally didn't understand Qi Moyan. Before I could think about which part of the song this was, Qi Moyan turned around and grabbed one of them with one hand, saying warmly: "Let's go, let's go, I've found a lot of treasures in the past few years. You are not lucky enough to see Xia You. It doesn't matter, as for the things outside your body, take some back and give them to Lord Ye to play with." He also invited Bilan Po beside him, with the same enthusiasm on his face, and said: "Senior, let's come together? "As early as when Bilanpo heard the words "backer king", she instinctively felt a little bored.
Unlike last night when she first met at midnight, all her energy was focused on this long-awaited person. When she heard this name again, Bilan Po frowned and gritted her teeth.
This is indeed puzzling. The absolute crushing by force did not make Bilanpo fearful. Instead, it made her hate the prince so much that she wished to cut him into pieces with a thousand cuts to relieve the hatred in her heart.
After all, in that face-to-face contact five or six years ago, it was this king with a different surname who wandered among the rivers, lakes, and temples who made him so embarrassed that he had to comply with the humble request to never set foot in the capital again in the next life.
In this way, the Saburo Yejia whom he yearned for so much had missed him. How could he not feel resentful towards the king who supported him?
She snorted coldly to show her attitude. Not willing to say a word, Bilanpo turned around and walked towards the courtyard.
He led the Ye family siblings into the back hall, but they didn't go very far. Qi Moyan stood still in the corridor, folded his hands in front of his belly, and seemed to be counting the time, looking at the back of the mountain with his eyes. The sun is showing.
Not knowing why, Ye Sangen took hold of the hand extended by his sister. Naturally, he also understood his sister's doubts about the sudden stop and long pause, and said: "Brother Qi, what are you doing?" He looked incomprehensible. With an expression on his face, Qi Moyan said cryptically: "You'll find out later." The two siblings didn't ask any questions, and Qi Moyan didn't explain. The three of them just stood in the corridor, feeling calm.
After about half a cup of tea, I suddenly heard the clatter of horse hooves coming from the front yard, and there was a lot of excitement. People were noisy and horses were neighing, and it was a lively scene.
At midnight, I was startled, thinking that Bilan Po was still in front. I wonder if this foreign woman who behaved without any rules had done something. Just when he was about to turn around, he heard Qi Mo Yan say: "It's done, that old man The witch is trapped."
"Huh?" The two siblings were confused again. Qi Moyan looked complacent and said, "Follow me." He then walked to the backyard and explained,
"I asked the housekeeper Qi Yuan to inform the prefect early in the morning and asked him to send someone to stop the old witch so as to buy time for you two to leave first." Obviously, the development of the matter was completely beyond the expectations of the two siblings. It has not developed according to the original plan.
Ye San Geng was about to explain, but Ye Xiayou pinched his hand to stop him. Then Ye Xiayou said, "Where is the great monk?" Qi Moyan didn't hide anything from her, saying: "They don't dare to go back. , I'm afraid Jiazi will be angry." After taking a look at it, he could see the whole picture. Ye Xiayou was so smart, and he understood everything in his heart. He said helplessly: "These two monks are really..." After thinking about it, I don't know what words to use to summarize these two people. Since Ye Jiazi entered the Sage Temple, the great monk had no status at all. Ye Xiayou could only laugh and said,
"It's pitiful." Naturally, he didn't care whether the two monks were pitiful or not. Qi Moyan said as he walked: "Originally, Jiazi and I discussed leaving you behind and letting Brother Sangen go back with the great monk. But yesterday When I see you, I feel like just one look at you and the changes in you in the past three years is enough." The villa is built on the mountain, and the wooden fence is much higher than the front door and left and right. It should be to prevent the rocks from rolling down the mountain. To cause unnecessary trouble.
While talking, Qi Moyan opened a very hidden door half a man high, as if it had been cut out directly from the fence. It was so tight that it was difficult for anyone to find it.
Apparently someone had brought such a long knife in advance and stood at the door. Qi Moyan, who knew the ropes very well, handed it directly to Ye Xiayou, and then opened the door and said, "It's still the same as when I saw you three years ago. As long as I eat well and sleep well, I'm quite content. It doesn't matter whether I can keep you or not." He looked at Qi Moyan, who was leading the way, and then at Ye Xiayou, who was following behind him without any change in expression. I was impressed by such an infatuated city lord.
After walking through the weeds and shrubs outside the fence, Qi Moyan stopped and let out a long breath, as if he was relieved.
"Okay, we'll bring it here. You two go straight to the mountain. I've arranged for someone to wait for you in front." The man who had taken the position of city lord by playing chess walked back coolly.
"When you go home and finish processing, I will come and play with you." This is more direct than a thousand words of instructions.
Thinking about it, Qi Moyan thought that no matter how ungrateful the patron king of Panshan, who governed the family by military law, was, he couldn't possibly do anything to his beloved grandchildren, right?
Moreover, Ye Xia'er's tongue, which is called the Cancan Lotus by the Buddhist monks, can't handle this?
Qi Moyan believed in these two siblings extremely blindly, especially Ye Xiayou. How could there be anything in this world that she couldn't solve?
This is an indescribable feeling, elusive. It wasn't until Qi Moyan disappeared that he came back to his senses at midnight and spoke,
"Infatuated lover." Ye Xiayou, who didn't seem to know how to deal with emotional matters, laughed.
"You are also a man, please help me analyze what Mo Yan is thinking. There are countless women in the world, and there are countless women who are better than me. Even Lan Li, besides being stupid and stupid, is also a very good woman. I don't know. How many times have I told him that it's impossible? Why is he so stupid?" Thinking of the old things many years ago, Ye Sangeng suddenly remembered what his sister said to him at that time, and murmured unconsciously: "Love. There are eleven strokes, and the last one is to seduce people." Ye Xiayou, who felt very peaceful after putting on the knife, was startled, sighed, and didn't know what he thought of again.
"It's just infatuation, no one's words are true."
