Thousands of miles are not as good as you

After waiting outside for more than half an hour, the time was up, the servants on the covered bridge removed all the boxes, and stopped other people who wanted to come in outside the covered bridge.

Seeing that someone came to invite him and Ye Yiyi out, Ye Tan couldn't sit still.

"Yiyi, it's getting late, let's go back quickly."

Ye Yiyi refused, seeing the servant getting closer, jumped off the bridge, and said to the servant: "I belong to Mrs. Ye's family, today is just a novelty, I'm just looking outside, I won't bother you !"

Ye Shaomiao once cured Mr. Cen's stubborn illness, the servant knew it too, suddenly felt that the hospitality was not good enough, so he hurriedly said: "Miss, go rest in the pavilion, the night is cool."

Ye Yiyi waved her hand: "No need, it's nice and cool outside, I like it!" After saying that, she moved to Ye Tan, "Sister, what do you think?"

Ye Tan didn't want to stay here, let alone go into the pavilion, so he nodded yes.

Ye Yiyi turned her face back, and said to the servant: "Miss Cen's selection of a son-in-law is a big matter, don't worry about us, we'll listen outside, and go back when we're bored."

The servant responded and went to do his own business.

There was silence in the pavilion for a while, and then a female voice was heard: "My lords are polite, I am Jin Lan, the lady's personal servant, and I will convey the matters for you today. Next, I will tell you today's poem topic."

"Oh? Today is the Qiqiao Festival, and Miss Cen uses this as the topic?" one of them joked.

Jin Lan smiled and said, "I thought Miss thought so too, but Miss said that today's Qixi Festival, I was afraid that you would prepare early, so I specially prepared the questions." When Jin Lan said this, she paused for a moment before she opened her mouth slowly. , "The topic is parting, gentlemen, please use this as the topic, compose a poem and write it on the scroll in front of you. After my lady appreciates it, I will make a judgment. There is a time limit for a cup of tea, please."

Li Qing took a look at the other four young masters, all of them were in their prime of life, all of them were dressed in splendid clothes and jade crowns, and they were suave and elegant. Seeing that two of them had started to write, Li Qing couldn't help sweating on his forehead.

The time for a cup of tea passed quickly, and when the time came, Jinlan came over and presented the poems of the five to Cen Shuyin behind the screen.

Cen Shuyin commented on those poems, and made comments on them. He took out one copy and put it aside. After thinking about it, he took out another copy, and handed the remaining three copies to Jinlan, asking her to return them to The other three people then handed the other copy and the other scrolls to Jinlan, whispered a few words in their ears, and then let Jinlan go out.

After Jinlan went out, she first handed back three of them. When the three of them saw the poems handed back, they knew they were hopeless and felt sorry, but when they saw Cen Shuyin's handwritten annotations above, they suddenly became happy again.

After seeing the three of them off, Jin Lan's gaze turned to Li Qing, who looked at her in surprise, his heart beating so hard that his palms were soaked in sweat.

Jin Lan bowed to Li Qing, handed back the poem that Cen Shuyin took out alone, and said softly: "Miss said, Mr. is upright, and the works of Fengyue are not suitable for Mr., but..." Jin Lan took out two more pieces of paper Volume, a pair of poems.

Seeing this, Li Qing immediately understood that he himself was not that shameful villain, what's more, talent can be stolen, but talent can't be stolen anyway, so he hurriedly revealed Ye Tan's works on his behalf.

After Jinlan listened, she turned back to the screen, listened to Cen Shuyin's instructions, and then replied to Li Qing.

"Miss said that the master is talented, but it is too limited. You might as well read more essays, it may be beneficial to you."

Li Qing listened, nodded, and bowed to the screen: "Thank you for your advice, Miss, I will take my leave."

"Hey, wait!" Jinlan hurriedly stopped Li Qing, and said with a smile, "Sir, you are too anxious. Does my lady have anything to ask?"

Li Qing smiled awkwardly: "I don't know what advice Miss has to offer?"

Jin Lan said: "Miss is deeply impressed by the talent and learning of the girl that Mr. said, and she intends to make friends with her. I don't know the name of that girl? Does Mr. know where that girl lives?"

"This... I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you. That girl and I just met by chance." Li Qing felt a little regretful that he didn't ask for her name, but he also felt that it was too abrupt to ask for a girl's boudoir name, so he could only shake his head regretfully. Leave Zhenyan Pavilion.

As soon as Li Qing came out of the pavilion, he saw Ye Tan and Ye Yiyi were still there, and said happily, "You..."

"Hush!" Ye Yiyi stopped Li Qing from speaking, and pulled Li Qing to him, "How many people are there?"

"one person."

Ye Yiyi continued to ask: "How old is that man? What's his appearance? What's his family background?"

Li Qing thought about the remaining young master, and replied: "Miss Cen is a weak crown in choosing a son-in-law."

Ye Yiyi glanced at Li Qing.

Thinking of his age, Li Qing was a little embarrassed.

Ye Yiyi didn't notice Li Qing's embarrassment, and continued: "What else? Tell me!"

"Handsome appearance, extraordinary manner, fine clothes and jade crowns, I think the family background is good." Li Qing replied one by one.

When Ye Yiyi heard this, she didn't want to do this, she rolled up her sleeves and was about to rush in, but was suddenly grabbed by Ye Tan.

Ye Tan exerted great strength, and his wrist seemed to be trembling a little.

When Ye Yiyi and Li Qing talked just now, the screen inside had been removed.

Ye Tan heard Cen Shuyin's gentle tone inside and asked, "Dare to ask your lord's name."

Ye Tan was so familiar with that voice that his heart trembled when he heard it, and the man said, "I'm Yin Cheng."

"Your Majesty?!" Cen Shuyin's tone was slightly high, and he hurriedly knelt down, "I don't know that the Holy Majesty is here, but I still hope that the Holy Majesty will forgive me."

Yin Cheng said with a smile: "Miss Cen said that, is she trying to break her promise? Go back and tell Mrs. Cen that three days later, I will personally..."

Ye Tan couldn't hear the words behind, he felt his head buzzing, and his breathing began to be a little rough, he took a few breaths, and said in a trembling voice: "Yiyi, let's go."

Ye Yiyi felt that something was wrong with Ye Tan, so she didn't dare to mess around anymore, and helped Ye Tan to leave together.

Li Qing watched Ye Tan and Ye Yiyi leave, opened his mouth, swallowed the words, shook his head and left.

After returning, everyone in the Ye mansion had already fallen asleep, Ye Tan and Ye Yiyi separated in the yard and went back to the room.

As soon as he entered the door, someone suddenly rushed out from behind the door and hugged him tightly.

"Ah!" Ye Tan exclaimed, and his mouth was covered immediately.

"It's me." Yin Sheng's tone was brisk, and he seemed to be in a good mood, "I haven't seen you for a few days, I miss you."

Ye Tan tried his best to relax his body, and leaned slightly in Yin Sheng's arms: "Really?"

Yin Sheng buried his face into Ye Tan's neck, and took a deep breath.

There is no smell of powder on Ye Tan's body, but a fresh body fragrance, which makes people addicted.

"Of course it is." Yin Sheng let go of Ye Tan with a smile, turned him to face himself, and said softly, "What about you? Did you miss me?"

Ye Tan drooped her eyes and pulled the corner of her mouth: "Of course I wanted to."

After hearing this, Yin Sheng laughed even more happily. He sized Ye Tan up and said in confusion, "I came in and you weren't there. When you were waking up at night, looking at your outfit, it looked like you were coming back from a trip. It's so late, why don't you go?" where?"

"Yiyi wants to go to Tongding River to light the lanterns, so I will go with her." Ye Tan is not good at lying, so he can only answer truthfully.

"Lighting up the lamp? Did you put it on?" Yin Sheng always felt that Ye Tan was young and mature, and he was less stubborn than a child. Hearing that Ye Tan followed him to light up the lamp, he couldn't help but get excited.

Ye Tan thought of the poem on the lantern that was set up before, and felt it was a great irony.

The name is fake, the identity is fake, so how much of the love words that Yin Sheng said to himself are true?

Ye Tan took a deep breath and shook his head lightly: "My daughter's things, why should I join in the fun?"

"Really?" Yin Sheng already believed it in his heart, but he still wanted to tease Ye Tan to say a few words of love to listen to.For him, Ye Tan's voice was the breeze that passed through the border, allowing him to find a trace of peace in the dirty inner courtyard of the palace.Ye Tan's love words are a great tonic, which enables him to be firm in his will when facing the turmoil in the court and the treacherous harem.

Unfortunately, Yin Sheng is doomed to be disappointed.

Ye Tan still shook his head: "No."

"Forget it, I won't force you." Yin Sheng sighed, thinking that next year he would take Ye Tan with him and put a concentric lamp together. Thinking of this, Yin Sheng's heart warmed and his tone became even more gentle. Tan went to the bed and sat down, "Where did you go besides putting on the lamp?"

"I still went..." Ye Tan looked at Yin Sheng, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "I also went to see Miss Cen recruiting a son-in-law."

Yin Sheng's smile froze at the corner of his mouth, and he calmed down quickly. He scratched Ye Tan's nose: "What? Tan Nu still wants to get married? Did you forget that there is me?"

"How come?" Ye Tan twitched the corner of his mouth, feeling pain in his heart, "I just looked around, there were too many people, so I walked away."

"Then why did you come back so late?" An irritability rose in Yin Sheng's heart, and he felt a little uneasy.

"Yiyi is still young, and she hasn't been out in previous years. This year, she finally got me to accompany her. Of course, she has to let her out." Ye Tan didn't want to say any more. Unable to hold back anymore, he pulled Yin Sheng's hand away, and turned his eyes away from Yin Sheng, "Brother Sheng, I've been walking outside for too long tonight, and I'm a little tired. You should go back and rest earlier."

Yin Sheng felt uneasy, so naturally he refused to leave: "I'll stay here tonight."

"This..." Ye Tan was about to refuse when he was interrupted by Yin Sheng.

"Okay, didn't you say you were tired? Take a rest."

Ye Tan couldn't help it, so he answered and went to fetch water.

The two washed up and lay on the bed. Ye Tan yawned, turned his back to Yin Sheng, and said softly, "I'm really sleepy. Brother Sheng should go to bed earlier."

Yin Sheng looked at Ye Tan's back, it was right in front of him, but it looked like the sky, he leaned over, hugged Ye Tan tightly, and pecked and kissed: "Tan Nu, no matter what happens, you have to believe, in my heart, Only you, only you."

When Ye Tan woke up in the morning, Yin Sheng had already left, touching the already cold bed, Ye Tan lowered his eyes slightly.

Everything is false, where can Ye Tan find the confidence to believe him?Forget it, Ye Tan shook his head with a wry smile, believe it or not, so what?This life is his.

Ye Tan got up and changed his clothes. Just as he was about to open the door to fetch water, he saw a seventeen or eighteen-year-old woman standing outside the door.

The woman was dressed in light green clothes, with an oval face, and a sharp and capable look between her eyebrows. When she saw Ye Tan coming out, she bowed to Ye Tan: "Nine Nine saw Miss."

Ye Tan froze for a moment, and said in doubt: "You..."

Nianjiu said: "The master saw that the young lady came back last night, and he was afraid, so he specially sent Nianjiu to serve the young lady."

"I, I don't need anyone to wait on me." Ye Tan waved his hands hurriedly.

Nianjiu said: "The master said, Miss will always have someone to serve her in the future, it's better to get used to it as soon as possible."

"I……"

"Master also said," twenty-nine interrupted Ye Tan, "Miss is gentle and gentle, so she is most likely to be bullied by some eloquent servants. Let the lady learn how to teach the slaves first. After all, the place where you will live in the future will eat people and don't vomit." Bones, although the master will protect the young lady from worries, there will always be times when he can't take care of her, and I hope that in a hurry, the young lady can protect herself a little, so that the master will not worry about it all the time."

"Is there any more?" Ye Tan pursed his lips tightly, seeing the cold and stiff expression of a girl in front of a marionette, and her unceremonious tone, she just felt that her breath was stuck in her throat, and she couldn't swallow it or spit it out. .

Twenty-nine said nothing, and tapped twice with both hands, four young girls entered in a file, all of them were fifteen or sixteen years old, with two buns on their heads, looking pure and lovely.

One of the four girls served water, the other held a spittoon, and the other two carried a basin and a towel.

First, the girl serving water stepped forward and bowed to Ye Tan: "My servant Chunjing, please wash your mouth."

Ye Tan looked at Chunjing, Chunjing's eyes were not big, but he looked very flexible, he was a clever person.

Ye Tan took the cup and rinsed his mouth, another maid hurriedly delivered the spittoon.Ye Tan spit water into the spittoon, and the handkerchief handed over by the maidservant.Ye Tan wiped his mouth and returned it.

The maid holding the spittoon waited for Ye Tan to finish, then bowed her lower body to Ye Tan, her round eyes were exceptionally agile, making her look very lively: "Slave Xia Ling," Xia Ling said, paused, a little displeased. She smiled sheepishly at Ye Tan, "Miss looks really good-looking, she is the most beautiful person I have ever seen."

Ye Tan was angry now, if someone said that about him in normal times, it would be a big deal to laugh it off, but listening to it now, it was extremely harsh.He snorted softly and turned to the maid holding the handkerchief: "What's your name?"

Xia Ling stuck out her tongue in embarrassment, and returned to her original position.

The maid named by Ye Tan heard the words, took a small step back, glanced at Ye Tan in some panic, and said softly: "Slave Dong Qing."

Ye Tan frowned slightly: "What? Am I scary?"

"Servant..." Dong Qing's voice trembled, but Ye Tan didn't want to listen any more, he turned his eyes to the last maid.

Seeing Ye Tan looking at her, the servant girl took a step forward generously without waiting for Ye Tan to ask her a question, and slightly bent her knees: "My servant Qiu Su has seen Miss, please clean her face."

Qiu Su held the water basin in front of Ye Tan, Ye Tan wanted to make things difficult, but when he thought of arguing with a girl, he immediately felt bored.He stretched out his hand to clean his face with clear water, and Dongqing hurriedly brought the towel to him after he finished washing.

After Ye Tan finished washing, Nianjiu said, "These four servants are sent by the master to take care of Miss, are you satisfied?"

Ye Tan didn't like Nianjiu's attitude towards him, and always felt that it was somewhat targeted, so he deliberately said: "How satisfied? Not satisfied, so what?"

Nian Jiu chuckled, and looked straight at Ye Tan: "Satisfied, naturally I will stay to serve the lady, but I am not satisfied..." Nian Jiu's gaze swept across the four of Chunjing, and he said mercilessly, "It's okay to keep it. use."

"Ah!" Dong Qing exclaimed, plopped and knelt on the ground, tears were already streaming down, "Miss, please forgive me!"

Ye Tan frowned and looked straight at Nianjiu: "What if I'm only dissatisfied with you?"

Nianjiu chuckled lightly, with a bit of disdain in his tone: "Nianjiu's life is cheap, death is not a pity, but Nianjiu's life belongs to the master."

"Oh? You mean, I can't deal with you?"

Nianjiu said nothing, fixedly looked at Ye Tan, his palms were a little sweaty.The Ye Tan I am facing now is not the same as what Sheng Sisheng Wukou described?Sheng Si and Sheng Wu obviously only said that he was gentle, but the person who is facing her tit for tat now, how can he be a little gentle?

"Why? Don't you understand?" Although Ye Tan's family is poor and his body is different from ordinary people, he has been taught by Mr. Gu, and he has the arrogance of a literati. People respect him three feet, and he respects others ten feet. He, he is "reciprocity".

Nianjiu pursed her lips: "Yes."

Ye Tan understood and pretended not to understand: "Since I don't understand, then I will..."

"I mean, Miss can't deal with me." Nianjiu Dingding looked at Ye Tan, since he had offended him anyway, he might as well fight it out.

Ye Tan chuckled lightly: "Then ask the girl to go to your master to receive the punishment."

Dong Qing was still a little uneasy in her heart, she tremblingly said: "Miss, those slaves..."

Ye Tan glanced at the four maidservants, not knowing how to deal with them.Although he was born in a wealthy family, he grew up in the market.It is common for a noble family to use servants. Ye Tan has seen it a lot, and he is not surprised, but if he is allowed to use it, he is not used to it.What's more, he has a special physique, how could it be possible for people to get close at will?

He pursed his lips, thinking that he would discuss with Yin Sheng after Yin Sheng came, so he kept the four of them temporarily, but he didn't want to wait for more than a month, and Yin Sheng didn't appear until the autumn leaves fell and the first snow arrived.
