Chapter 228: Don't Let the Fourth Miss Twist Her Ankle

o deal with you later 。"My Lord… Mmm…"Before she could finish her words, a sudden kiss silenced her.He saw the little girl's arms wrap around his neck, her wide sleeves sliding upward to reveal half o...That was a maidservant from the old madam's courtyard. Although she didn't serve Jun Tao directly, she was still someone who could be spoken to. 。He rushed in and before he could speak to the old lady, he saw Madam Mu was about to leave. He quickly said, “Please wait a moment, madam.” 。Then she went forward and bowed to the old lady, “A messenger from the gatehouse has come to say that Lord Yun, the imperial censor, and Master Lian, along with several palace attendants, have arrived. They are currently sitting in the Xuming Hall!” At that moment, the old lady's heart skipped a beat. Just hearing the three words "Lord Yun" now triggered a conditioned response in her. 。The commotion at the palace banquet directly resulted in her being too afraid to leave General Fu's manor even now, and she doesn't know when she might be able to venture out again. 。

Why is that Cloud Minister here again today Is there something else going on

No matter how unwilling she was, since he had come to her door, she had no choice but to meet him.

The Inspector is a powerful figure that one shouldn't provoke. Even when the old man was alive, he had to give face to that office because it was under the Emperor's jurisdiction and held immense power. 。Then she said to Xiao: "Come, accompany me to the Xuming Hall to have a look. The others should return to their own courtyards." 。Then the eldest maid added, “Madam, the gatekeeper has arrived with a message. Lord Yun requests that all members of the household, excluding the fourth sister, go to the Hall of Mingxiao tonight for an audience. This includes the servants as well.” 。In summary, everyone in the mansion is forbidden to remain except for the fourth sister's courtyard. Otherwise, Yanhua Palace will hold them accountable. 。The old woman's hand trembled, and Xiao Shi's hand also trembled. 。The two stared at each other, neither knowing what was going on. 。Xiao asked the older maid, "Did the messenger say why"The maid shook her head. "The servant girl doesn't know, nor do the gatekeepers. They only said that Master had given such an order, and no one dared to ask more." 。"After a moment's thought, Xiao pondered, “Such a commotion must mean there's an imperial decree from the palace, or perhaps a direct order from the emperor There’s no other reason that would summon everyone here.” 。The old mistress found Xiao's analysis reasonable, and she nodded involuntarily. Then she ordered the servant: "Go do it, call everyone in the mansion to the front courtyard." 。Remember not to chew your tongue, no one needs to talk too much, just focus on the past. 。“ Immediately, someone went to take care of it. 。Mu also ordered his attendant Dan'no to invite the two young masters to Yu Jing Garden. As for the Xiao family, she instructed Jinxiu to hurry and invite the two elders to the front hall. 。For a time, the entire household was in an uproar, everyone rushing to the front courtyard. 。

The old madam, supported by Xiao and Juntao, walked a little slowly. Xiao said, “This is strange. Why do all the others have to go, but only Fourth Miss can stay behind Even the servants in her room don’t have to go”

The old madam couldn't figure out why this was, and the more she thought about it, the more upset she became.

Although the three-person group came with only two today, Wu Fei is missing. 。But compared to the Qinshiguan and Yanhuagong, the Xianxiandeng represented by Wu Fei is not that important. 。 Today this matter wouldn't be easy, Old Madam thought to herself, her steps growing quicker and quicker, until finally she was practically scurrying forward. By the time she reached Xuming Hall, the courtyard was already packed with people, even Ye Jian Sheng had arrived. 。The eldest and second sons of the Ye family still sat on either side, with the seat at the top reserved for the old matriarch. 。Thus, Yunchen and Lian Shi wouldn't have a place to sit, but that wasn't the case. These two were sitting at the head of the main hall, sipping tea and chatting. Lian Shi even laughed and told Mu Shi: "I came in such a hurry today that I didn't have time to bring gifts for the Madam, it was really impolite." 。Please do not blame me, madam. Next time, next time I will make up for it. 。“And I, too, shall pay my respects to the young master and his sister. I will do so at a later time.” 。"Sir, you are too kind." 。“We should be the ones thanking both of you, Sir and Lord Yun, for your many times of kindness and care.” 。As they were chatting, the old madam walked in. Seeing that Yunchen and Lian were both alright, not looking like they were about to draw their swords or glare with anger, she let out a slight sigh of relief. Then, she straightened her back and walked inside. 。As I passed the two of them, I slowed my pace slightly and waited for them to stand up so we could exchange pleasantries. 。She thought that no matter what, she was the widow of the late General. In front of all the masters and servants in the mansion, these two should at least consider General's hard work and dedication to her and give her some face. 。However, she was wrong. Yún Chén and Lián Shí were not the type who were good at socializing or flattering everyone they met. Even though they knew the old general still commanded respect, they also believed that the former general and the current Madam were different people and should be treated differently. 。Besides, the two of them represent the Yanhuagong. Just based on this old woman's attitude towards Ye Si Jie, even if her former husband was a general, or even the emperor, they could still scold her so badly that she wouldn't be able to find North in Beidu. 。Seeing that the two of them were just sitting there and didn't even get up, not to mention glancing at her, Old Madam almost got angry. She felt humiliated, as if she had been ridiculed by all the servants in the courtyard. 。She really wanted to turn and leave, but she didn't dare. She could only hum unhappily and walk to the front seat, sit down, and say nothing, as if she hadn't seen those two outsiders at all. 。The night view was splendid, no matter who came, they were all guests, and moreover, male guests. It wouldn't be appropriate for Xiao to come out to greet them, in this situation he should step forward first and speak. 。Then he stood up, took the initiative to bow, and said, "I wonder what brings the two of you to my general's mansion Everyone in the house has been summoned to the front courtyard, except for the fourth young lady from the west wing. If you have anything to say, please speak directly." 。"

Yun Chen this time back is according to the normal routine out of the card, also stood up and returned a salute to Ye Jing Sheng: "Second Master Ye is too polite, in fact, it's nothing major, just feel that this first-rank general's mansion has not come for a long time, really feel uneasy inside>>>" 。It so happens that I have nothing to do today, so I discussed with Lian Gonggong and came over to take a look. 。"

Nightview Sheng also was so angry that her eyes rolled. You two are just here to watch Just take a look, you've been tossing around the whole house, making all the servants and maids come over to watch. What are you doing Don't get anxious, what in my house would make you think that Could it be that you have your eyes on...

Uh, it seems like you really do have your eyes on someone" 。Then he said, "Lord Yun is here to see our fourth young lady, isn't he" He then asked Mu Shi, "Sister-in-law, where is Yan'er"Mu Shi remained silent. Instead, Lian Shi took over the conversation: "It's not that we came specifically to see anyone, just to check in on everyone. That's right, to check in on everyone. Everyone, I want to see all of you." 。"

Night fell, and Ya took a deep breath. She really didn't know what to say next. So she gritted her teeth and said, “You two just watch!”

She retreated back to her own seat and didn't want to say another word. " 。Seeing him sit back down, Yun Chen didn't stand either. However, he just sat down and kept talking. He pointed to the front courtyard: "Just now when I walked into the courtyard, I saw that many bricks in the courtyard had been pried up. It must have been caused by a dragon turning over! We need to repair it quickly. Besides being unsightly, it's mainly because walking on it could lead to twisted ankles." 。"

Does it concern you if someone stumbles while appreciating the night view Why are you so concerned about other people's affairs I’ve only heard of imperial supervision before, how come they even regulate the land now But although I think this way, I dare not speak out. Besides, I feel this might be a unified arrangement from the palace, perhaps everyone has someone going to their household, intending to represent the court understanding the situation and expressing concern" 。

Therefore, Yunchen brought up the issue of the broken tiles as a normal casual conversation, he shouldn't have expressed negative emotions.

Night View quickly took stock of himself, and then started speaking in a much better attitude. 。He: "Thank you, Master Yun, for your concern. The bricks have already been purchased and will be repaired in the next two days." 。“Mm-hmm,” Yun Chen nodded, “Hold on tight! It’ll save your elder sister the trouble of going back and forth. If you really twist your ankle, we’ll have to make another trip anyway.” 。The night view turned even greener, he had basically whitewashed himself with the self-criticism. He's still coming and going for Ye Wen! 。He huffed and puffed, waving his arms dismissively, not wanting to speak another word. 。Xiao glared at him, then looked at the old lady 。The old madam was also quite helpless. Facing Yun Chen and Lian Shi, she didn't want to say anything, so she returned the look to Xiao Shi. 。Xiao understood that now as the mistress of the household, she was expected to lead and take charge in everything. The old matriarch could offer her opinions or stay silent, no one could criticize her for either. 。Then she cleared her throat, put on a smile and said, "Lord Yun cares for the Fourth Miss so much, our whole family feels honored." 。Please rest assured, the front courtyard will be repaired tomorrow by someone. It definitely won't affect Fourth Miss walking. 。"Let me think about it... No, let's fix it today, right now!" 。“ Well then, get started immediately! Have those bad bricks removed and replaced with new ones.” 。When plastering, you must pay close attention to it. It can't be uneven, the joints can't be too wide, it can't be too slippery, and it can't be too rough. 。In short, the bricks laid down must be comfortable to step on, absolutely not sloppy at all. 。"

Xiao shi xin ni men zhe shi xian zhe me shi er gan, zhuan cheng pao kan ren Xiu di tan ma Yi you shi ma You zhe ge shi hao jiu qiao shang zhuan a, qiao shang dao chu zai shi Xiu fangzi Xiu di mian, na cai neng de kan guo yin ni! Jiang jun fu zhe dian er huo zhi dui yi shi chen jiu zhi wan le, you she me ke kan " 。But she wouldn't dare to say that. Not only would she not dare, but she also had to act enthusiastic and eagerly arrange for others to get the work done. 。Yun Chen looked at the servants in the yard already moving, and he nodded with satisfaction, summing up: "This is right! When there's work to be done, we need to seize it and not procrastinate. Otherwise, when would this ever end" Xiao Shi smiled awkwardly, Ye Xing was dark-faced, and Madam felt embarrassed 。Only servants moved through it, occasionally refilling the tea for their master and guests. 。Lian si while drinking tea, shook his head and said: "The tea at General's Mansion is really uninteresting. Not only can they not make fancy tea styles, but the tea leaves don't even smell good, and they taste even worse when you drink them." 。"

Xi Chun couldn't help but ask, "Can you make flower arrangements in the tea Wouldn't that be like magic performed by immortals Who could have this skill"

Lian Shi gave him a disdainful look, "How can there be such ignorant servants in General's Mansion Even as slaves, you serve in the mansion of a first-rank general. Shouldn't you understand these clever and interesting things How come it sounds like you've never heard of them before"

Xi Chun was so embarrassed that he wanted to disappear. He thought to himself, I'm not a slave, but an aunt..." 。Wouldn't it be more embarrassing for a slave to behave this way So I had to swallow my pride and say nothing. 。

As for the night scenery, it was too much to bear, and I felt sorry for Xichun. So I retorted: "We are a family of warriors, all we think about is how to protect our homes, serve the country, expand our territory, who has time to study those tricks that only officials' families are willing to research What kind of tea tasting, incense pressing, these things our Ye family doesn't care about! If you want to see it, go somewhere else, there's certainly nothing here>>> 。"

Lian Shih blinked, “So your family now is neither literary nor martial”
