Part 1: Intertwined Time and Space Chapter 4: Trip to Li Country
Chapter 307 Visitors (2)
Back in the courtyard, Yue Qing looked at Mrs. Fu's residence. The noise outside the courtyard did not disturb the inner courtyard. It's still quiet and peaceful here. I don’t know how the madam is crying.
After sending Yue Chi and others away, Yue Qing decided to go to the madam's courtyard to have a look.
Chang Yuxiao went with her, as well as Qing'er, who was on duty today.
Madam's eyes were red and swollen, she had obviously cried a lot today.
San Yuxiao frowned.
Yue Qing sighed in her heart, thinking that when Chang Yuxiao had an accident in Peony Courtyard, Chang Yuqing cried so hard that she couldn't even open her eyes.
Seeing her coming, Madam quickly wiped her tears again, and said with a forced smile: "Yu Qing is here."
Yue Qing walked over, and Madam stretched out her hand to hold her, her eyes becoming wet again.
"Mom, what's wrong with you? Why are you crying again?"
The lady turned her head and wiped her face: "Mother is fine, just a little sad."
Yueqing asked: "Is it because of my brother?"
San Yuxiao said: "I am no longer your brother. Master, please don't call me brother again in the future."
Yue Qing gritted her teeth: "I'm used to it, I just haven't changed it for a while."
Then he turned to his wife and said, "Mother, haven't I told you about this matter in advance? Why are you so sad?"
The lady said: "How did mother know that your father was so heartless and abused my two children? It's not my mother's fault that you should be wronged."
Yue Qing rolled her eyes: "There is nothing wronged. My daughter told you yesterday that she was wronged. It was just an angry talk. In fact, I have the upper hand. Brother will not feel wronged. I heard that practicing martial arts is very good. It's hard work, just those few spankings can cause any grievance, mother, you look down on him too much."
San Yuxiao said: "The hospital master is right, those few blows are nothing to me."
The lady reluctantly pulled the corner of her mouth.
Yue Qing continued: "Mom, you are really too sentimental. Look at me, I felt aggrieved, so I had a big fight with my father, and then moved out directly. It made him feel uncomfortable, and I should How happy, how happy, I went to the back mountain with Chang Yuxiao and the others this morning.
Mom, let me tell you, the back mountain is fun and beautiful, with all kinds of trees and flowers. And I heard that the fog was very heavy in the morning and the ground was slippery, so if we went early, there must be mushrooms or something. How about I take you to pick mushrooms tomorrow and relax. "
The lady smiled and said: "Naughty, my mother is old, how can she be as playful as you."
"There's nothing wrong with it. We're playing in our own house, and others don't know. You still think this is the palace. This is our own yard. We can play as we like."
Xiaoye said: "It seems that the young lady is really not sad. Madam, please look away. The young lady is right. It is always good to go out and relax. Why don't you go picking mushrooms with the young lady tomorrow?"
The lady looked at her sheepishly.
Yue Qing tried her best to persuade her, "Mom, let's do this. If you don't want to pick it, how about you help me find it and I can pick it?"
The lady smiled and said, "You are the only one with many evil ideas, so I will go with you."
"Yeah. Mom, I just saw a lot of people at the door on the mountain. The head of the Yue family said they are all here to visit the owner of this yard. Let's go and have a look. It's very lively."
"So many people? How many people are there?"
"I was too far away on the mountain and couldn't see clearly. There are a lot of people anyway. Why don't you go and see my mother?"
"If I don't go, you'd better not go either."
"Hmph, forget it if mom doesn't go, I'm going anyway, maybe I'll encounter something interesting."
"Then don't cause trouble."
"Oh, don't worry. I'm not going to show up. I'm just going to watch the fun. Mom, you can play by yourself. I'm leaving."
After saying that, Yue Qing got up and ran out: "Qing'er, let's go quickly before everyone leaves."
Qing'er said from behind: "Miss, don't be impatient, slow down."
The lady stood up and followed her to the door, looking at her irritated look: "This child is so arrogant."
Chang Yuxiao said beside her: "Madam, don't worry, I will take good care of the master."
The lady nodded: "Okay. With you here, I feel relieved."
"Madam, please stop crying. It will make people worry about you."
"I know, go ahead."
San Yuxiao saluted and went out and followed him.
Yueqing led Qing'er out of the inner courtyard, and saw two red guards, Rong and Song, standing in the pavilion connected to the verandah. They saw them coming out and hurriedly greeted them.
Chang Song asked: "Why are you here, Miss, but you have to go out?"
Only then did Yue Qing remember that this courtyard was where the deacons and red guards lived.
"Oh, I was on the mountain this morning and saw that it was very busy outside. I wanted to go and have a look."
Chang Rong said: "Those people are just people who came to visit me. What do you think they do, Miss?"
"I just watched the fun and didn't show up."
"Why do you plan to see such excitement, young lady?"
It was not the voices of two people. Yue Qing turned around and saw Chang Ge and Yue Ke walking over together. It was Yue Ke who was speaking and looking at her with a funny face.
"How come you knew it as soon as I came out?"
Yue Ke said: "I live closest to Chang Ge. I was in the house just now but I saw the lady walking this way."
Yue Qing pouted dissatisfied. "Why are you here to stop me from going out?"
Chang Ge stood aside and said nothing.
Yue Ke said: "No, we are accompanying the young lady to watch the excitement."
Yue Qing smiled: "That's more like it. They moved it outside the palace and restricted my movements. I'm really going to be angry. Where is Mo Xue? Why don't I get together with you?"
Yue Ke said: "How many visitors does he receive in the outer courtyard?"
"Wouldn't that be very busy?"
"It's a bit busy."
"You're not going to help him either?"
"If we need help with some small matters, Mo Xue can naturally handle them."
"I'll go see how he handles it."
Yue Chi took two steps forward, stood beside her and said, "Miss, don't be impatient for now."
Yue Qing looked at him.
Yue Chi continued: "Miss, if you go to the front yard, you will attract attention. If you just want to watch the excitement, you don't have to go directly to the front yard."
"Then what good idea do you have?"
"There are many places to hide people in this yard. Miss, you can just find a more secluded place to observe secretly."
"Humph, you are too careful to be a thief in your own home, but what you said makes sense. I will find a good place right now."
"Yue Ke is familiar with this courtyard, why don't I take the lady to look for it."
Yue Qing stretched out her hand to stop him and said, "Okay, but if you want to talk, I'll let Qing'er go back."
Qing'er shouted: "Miss, I am on duty today. I will stay with you all the time and not go back."
"Qing'er, the goal is too big with too many people, and it will easily attract others' attention, so I can't bring too many people. How about you discuss with Yue Ke who will go with me."
Qing'er looked at Yue Ke, frowned and said, "Miss, Deacon Ke just leads the way, how can I take good care of the lady."
Yue Ke smiled and said, "What are you talking about, Qing Zhu Wei? The young lady doesn't go far away. Walking around in the courtyard requires too many people to take care of her. Qing Zhu Wei might as well wait for the young lady to come back."
Qing'er obviously disagreed and looked at Chang Ge.
Yue Qing was amused and looked at Chang Ge.
Chang Ge said in a deep voice: "What Deacon Ke said makes sense."
Yue Qing was happy, "Hey, Chang Ge said so, Qing'er, just wait for me here."
Saying that, Yue Qing turned around and left.
Chang Ge frowned.
Qing'er stood there anxiously, but did not follow him.
Yue Qing's steps were brisk, and Yue Ke followed her unhurriedly.
Yue Ke looked at Yue Qing's happy look and said, "Miss seems very happy."
"Of course, because I came up with another great idea today."
"What's a good idea?"
"Didn't you just see it?"
"The lady plans to use this method in the future to prevent others from following her."
"No, I plan to make anyone uncomfortable in the future, I will make them uncomfortable first."
"Would it make the lady feel uncomfortable if Yue Ke accompanies her?"
"That's not right. Too many people surround me, which makes me feel depressed. I have to find a way to relieve myself."
"Yue Ke understands Miss's thoughts. This method is feasible within this high wall, but it cannot be done outside. Miss should consider her own safety."
Yue Qing glanced at him but said nothing.
Yue Ke put his hands behind his back and continued: "But Yue Ke is also very happy to be alone with the lady for some time."
"Actually, I am a weak woman, why do I need so many people to watch me? You are looking too closely. Haven't you thought that it will have the opposite effect? You think it is for my own good, but maybe the person you want to protect It creates a rebellious mentality.”
"Yue Ke has long understood the rebellious mentality of the young lady. Chang Ge and Mo Xue also understand it."
"Then what do you think?"
"Yue Ke is very worried."
"worry about what?"
"I'm worried that the young lady will suddenly fly far away one day and encounter danger, but there will be no one around her to help her."
"how could be?"
"According to Miss's current thoughts, it is very possible. We cannot bear such a heavy price, and there is no better way to satisfy Miss, so we can only stay by your side."
"I thought you would have different ideas based on your temperament."
"No matter what you think, you can't risk the safety of the lady."
"Hmph." Yueqing pulled off a leaf beside her and tore it in her hands.
Yue Ke looked at her angry look and smiled and said: "Miss, there is no need to be angry. Although I cannot let you go out to play alone, Yue Ke can play with you. Didn't you say that I like to play very much?"
Yueqing sighed.
Yue Ke said: "Miss, look, the place ahead is where Mo Xue receives visitors."
"Where are the people? Didn't I see a lot of people on the mountain?" Yue Qing looked in the direction he pointed.
Yue Ke said: "There are a lot of people, but Mo Xue set up a steward outside the door and told the people who came to visit that the owner of this courtyard was inconvenient to see visitors, so he persuaded some people to leave. If there are still those who don't want to leave, they will There were waiters who welcomed them into the guest rooms in the outer courtyard, and then welcomed them in one by one."
"No wonder there are so many people who don't want to leave?"
"Of course there are a lot of them. It should be said that basically no one is willing to leave. Now that I'm here, of course I want to come in and see what's in this yard. Even if I see more and see more, it's not in vain."
Yue Qing nodded and sat on the armchair nearby.
"You know a good place. This place does have a good view. It is not easy to notice it from the outside, but you can see the outside situation from here. And there are also these resting things specially placed here."
