Chapter 270: Visit (2)
Yue Qing asked: "How does Yue Ke plan to make up for it?"
"You'll know once you've been summoned and asked."
Yue Qing thought for a moment and said, "There's no need to summon us. Why don't we go over there? I just want to see what kind of place you live in."
Mo Xue was stunned for a moment. "Aren't you worried about the prince scolding you?"
"Why do you need to reprimand? You can't go to the outer courtyard."
"According to the regulations of Li State, women who have not left the cabinet cannot leave the inner court."
Yue Qing looked at Mo Xue and asked, "Then do I need to abide by Li Country's regulations?"
Mo Xue smiled and said: "Mo Xue thinks it's okay not to comply."
Yue Qing looked at Chang Yuxiao again: "Brother, what do you think?"
"Go if you want. Anyway, you don't want to be locked up in the yard all the time. Even if you don't go out today, you won't be locked up tomorrow."
"Aren't you afraid of daddy's scolding?"
"Don't be afraid, I have something to say."
Yue Qing laughed: "Great, let's go and ask Yue Ke. Now that you say that, I also think the bright lights in the garden don't look good. It would be bad if there are guests."
Mo Xue said: "Miss, don't be anxious. You have just come back. You might as well take a rest before going."
"What's the point of rest? I'm not tired. Come on, lead the way. I don't know where to go. Cai'er, go call Chunxiu and the others. I've thought about it. I'd better take more people with me when I go out in the future, just in case. Better."
Cai'er smiled and said, "Young lady has suffered a loss, and she finally understands a little bit."
"Yes, yes, go and shout."
Chang Shen said: "Then I will prepare the soft sedan."
Yue Qing stopped him: "There's no need to prepare a soft sedan, we'll just walk there."
Chang Ge disagreed and said: "Miss, there are too many people waiting on the street. Instead of letting them give advice and comments behind your back, it's better to sit in a sedan and pass by."
"Chang Ge, do I still have to sit in a sedan chair at home? The journey is not far. Besides, I behave differently and do many things that are not in line with the rules of Li country. Sooner or later, people will have to tell me. Just say it. Tell me. I'm not angry, so it's better for you not to be angry either, especially Qi Jiao, don't always scare people."
Qi Jiao said: "When have I ever scared anyone?"
"I heard from Chunxiu and the others that you always have a cold face, which is very scary."
Qi Jiao said: "I don't have a cold face, maybe I have a fierce face."
Yue Qing said: "I don't think so. Anyway, just don't be too fierce. The women here are quite timid."
Qi Jiao nodded: "Try your best."
After cleaning up, Mo Xue and Chang Shen stayed in the courtyard. Yue Qing led a group of eight people, three men and four women, out of the yard.
Along the way, the maids, servants, and guards saluted them, and after taking a few steps, they all stopped to look at them.
Yue Qing looked back at Qi Jiao's face and saw that his face was indeed frosty. Yue Qing smiled.
Chang Ge asked: "Why is Miss laughing?"
Yue Qing said: "I'm wondering why these people look back at us. Chang Ge, what do you think their reasons are?"
Chang Ge said: "It's nothing more than two things. One is that I and the outsiders came out of the inner courtyard, and the other is that the lady came to the outer courtyard."
Yue Qing said: "Actually, there is another point. Many people have never seen me and only know that I am back."
Chang Ge said: "Miss, what you said makes sense."
Yue Qing hit the bamboo curtain hanging on the edge of the verandah roof. "Speaking of which, Qing'er, you guys have gone too far. Why did you even pick the flowers in the outer courtyard? This courtyard is so monotonous that you can't see many flowers except for the trees."
Qing'er said aggrievedly: "Miss, you have wronged me. We did not touch the flowers in the outer courtyard. This is how the outer courtyard is."
Yue Qing took another look at the greenery in the outer courtyard and said with a smile: "That's it. I was shocked. I thought you had picked the flowers in the outer courtyard too. How much compensation would you have to pay? Yue Ke couldn't give me a good scolding." "
"Deacon Ke won't criticize the young lady. Even if it really ruins the entire palace, the villa can still afford the compensation."
"No, no, I have reflected on it and will not mess around like this again in the future."
"There was no time when the lady didn't say that, and there was no time when she did it. But it's not a fool's errand. Qing'er saw that the flower baskets made by the lady were indeed very beautiful, as well as those garlands, and the flower gates arranged. Qing'er I have never seen a garden laid out like this.
Besides, they are just some common flowers. If it can make the lady happy, it won't be in vain for them to have a show. "
Yue Qing said: "You are the only one who can speak. You have learned it from Yue Ke, and you are smooth-tongued."
"Miss, you are praising me," Qing'er said with a smile.
Yue Qing looked at the yard and continued: "However, I think the garden is well arranged like this and is quite refreshing."
"Would Miss like something fresher? Or a garden full of flowers?" Cai'er asked.
"I?"
"yes."
"Well, if I decide, of course it would be better to be fresher. The courtyard where we live in the Yue family's house is very good. San Yuxiao, where do you live? Why don't you check it out?"
"There's nothing to see in mine. It's just a room with nothing in it except a bed and a table."
"Is it also a separate courtyard?"
Chang Yuxiao nodded. "Of course it's no worse than the small courtyard where you live."
"I see you've stayed here a few times. It's such a waste to leave it empty. Are there any guards or servants in the courtyard?"
"I have two followers, but they don't usually follow me. Most of them stay in the courtyard."
"Let's go and have a look when we get out of Yue Ke's place. I haven't seen it yet."
"If you want, I'll just take you there."
"Um."
Cai'er said, "Miss, turn around and you'll find the courtyard where Yue Ke and the others live."
Yue Qing looked in the direction she pointed. In front of the verandah there was a staircase leading to a courtyard. From here, you could see many houses lined up. Many people can be seen in the gaps between the trees in the courtyard. Chang Song and the others in red clothes are very obvious among the crowd. Yue Qing can see them at a glance.
Yue Qing smiled, "Are Chang Song and the others living together with Yue Ke? What are they doing?"
At this time, Chang Huai turned around and patted Chang Song next to him.
Chang Song also turned his face. After shouting something unknown, everyone in the courtyard stopped what they were doing and gathered together.
Yue Qing waved to them and took the lead into the courtyard from the verandah exit.
Chang Song came over and said, "Miss is here, why didn't you tell me in advance?"
Yue Qing smiled as she walked: "Of course I can't tell you in advance. If I tell you in advance, how do I know what you are doing on a daily basis? What are you doing in the courtyard?"
Chang Song said: "It's nothing, I'm just watching them practice martial arts."
"How can you practice martial arts in such a small courtyard?" Yue Qing looked at this small courtyard, which was only about 500 square meters.
"It's just sparring, it doesn't require a big place."
"Oh, do all our people live in this courtyard?"
"Some of the Qingwei have been arranged outside the house. Dr. She is not living with us. He has his own courtyard. Deacon Ke is here."
Just as he was talking, Yue Ke, Chang Rong, Liu and Bai walked out of the largest house in the middle.
Yue Ke stood in front of the door and said, "Why did the young lady suddenly think of coming here?"
"Let me see you."
Yue Ke said as he walked down the steps: "I'm afraid it's not just to see us. The lady ruined most of the flowers in the inner courtyard this morning. Now she comes here to repair them."
"How do you know? You are in the outer courtyard, how can you know about the affairs of the inner courtyard?"
"Of course there are people talking about this matter. The young lady has only been back for a day and she ruined the garden. She locked up people in various courtyards for a long time, and then she closed Aunt Liu's corruption case. Now the news has spread in the house, not only Yue Yue Ke knows it, and probably the Yue Family Master and the others also know it.”
"Why, it can still spread outside the house."
"Of course, miss, don't underestimate the speed of the servants in this mansion."
