The gatekeeper is on good terms with Xiaoji.

As soon as they met, she called him "Little Ji" and even handed her some melon seeds. They talked about something together and laughed happily.

A car stopped at the door, Li Jiang jumped out of the taxi, and the only person following on horseback from the car was Gu Yue.

"We're here! Come on down!"

The car curtain was lifted and Master Qing got out, followed by Yan Zhu.

Yan Zhu went down to the ground and took a look: this is a high wall and a large courtyard! She whispered to Master Qing: "Ayu's house is so magnificent!"

"It's the Marquis' Mansion!" Master Qing also laughed.

Xiaoji called out, "Master Qing, Miss Zhuzhu, my grandma is waiting for you, please come in quickly! Big brother, there is a tea table over there, and it is the good tea that my sister and grandma asked for!"

Li Jiang was very proud, "Good sister! You know how to care for your brother! Gu Yue, let's sit over there and drink tea!"

Gu Yue didn't want to drink tea with him, but she couldn't follow him in. Here... He glanced at the high wall: I'm afraid it's heavily guarded, and it's really inconvenient to climb the wall in broad daylight. The key is, don't cause trouble for them!

But he didn't think: Why are you climbing over the wall and going in?

Watching Yan Zhu go in without looking back, he was so anxious that he dug his toes into the ground.

The four of them walked in. After walking for a while, Master Qing suddenly remembered: "Oh, I forgot to bring something for the girl in the car..."

Qing He said, "Qing He, go get it?"

Master Qing said, "Why don't we go together? Zhuzhu, you go in with Xiaoji first, I'll come back after I get the things!"

"good!"

Yan Zhu and Xiao Ji walked in with a chattering voice, "Ayu is going to set the rules?"

"No! Madam loves her so much that she can't wait to set rules for her. The old lady is... kind, just go over on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month. When she's free, she'll also ask a few grandmas to come over and talk to her."

"Oh, is she eating well?"

"That's the problem! The kitchen is far from our yard. Although the food is good, it's only lukewarm when we get inside. The girl is a picky eater and she's not used to it."

"Oh, that's really troublesome. I can't come to take care of her... or should she eat at the store every day?"

"That's not convenient! Actually, we can go to the dining hall at the back. But it will take a while to walk..."

"That's such a long way?"

"Isn't it?! It's sunny at noon, and it's windy and rainy. So, unless there's something going on at home, the rest of the time, everyone eats in their own yard."

"It's a marquis' mansion after all. It's so big and the garden is beautiful!" Yan Zhu said, pointing at the garden.

Suddenly, a person stood in the middle of the road ahead, looking at them.

Xiao Ji was sharp-eyed and immediately spotted that it was the Third Master Qi Yue. He quickly pulled Yan Zhu and the two of them moved behind a thigh-high green hedge, clearing the main road so that Qi Yue could pass first.

The moment Qi Yue saw Yan Zhu, his eyes did not move. He walked forward a few steps, stopped, and stared at Yan Zhu.

Xiaoji became alert and decided not to wait here. He pulled Yanzhu and prepared to walk on the grass and take a detour.

"Stop!" Qi Yue spoke.

Xiaoji pretended not to hear and continued walking forward.

Qi Yue jumped twice and appeared in front of them.

"Third Master." Xiaoji knelt down and bowed.

"I told you to stop, are you deaf?" Qi Yue spoke sternly, looked at the fat girl with disgust, and then turned to look at Yan Zhu.

Whenever Yan Zhu showed her face, she would be looked at. She felt annoyed and hid behind Xiao Ji, lowering her head and not looking at him.

Xiaoji was actually very nervous, but she forced herself to remain calm: "I didn't know that Third Master was calling me. Our grandmother is waiting for the guests to come in...I will take the guests away first."

"Did I let you go?" Qi Yue said coldly.

Xiaoji felt that something bad was going to happen, so she made up her mind, "Third Master, I am from the Fifth Master's courtyard. If you have anything to say, please talk to the Fifth Master or the First Madam. I will only listen to them."

"You're looking for death!" Qi Yue glared at the fat girl and wanted to kick her.

When Yan Zhu heard this, she was surprised that this person was so unreasonable!

She raised her head, her eyes wide open, and glared at Qi Yue angrily.

Qi Yue's anger disappeared all of a sudden...his tone softened, "Who are you?!" he asked Yan Zhu.

Xiao Ji blocked him: "Third Master, this is our grandma's female guest!" She cursed in her heart, you are still a master, talking to a woman! You don't even know this rule? This damn girl! Qi Yue was very angry and wanted to fight again, but suddenly there was footsteps next to her.

Qi Yue turned around and saw that it was Qi Youyi's beautiful concubine who came!

He looked left and right, a garden of roses of various colors, a beautiful woman over there, a beautiful woman over there...

The capital is stronger than the northwest...

He gave Yan Zhu an evil smile, revealing his white teeth, then turned and left.

Xiaoji was sweating and said quickly: "Let's go!"

Yan Zhu said: "This person is Master Qi Wu's brother!?"

"Yes, it's Third Brother!"

"Why is he so fierce?"

"Both husband and wife are like this. A few days ago, Third Grandma beat a girl until she was covered in blood! It's so disgusting!"

The two people walked quickly...

Master Qing went back to the car to get his things and followed Qinghe inside.

She didn't talk much when she had nothing to do, and she didn't chat with Qinghe on the way.

Enter from the side door, walk through a group of courtyards and you will reach the garden. After passing through the garden and walking forward, you will reach Wen Yu's courtyard.

It is already early autumn, and roses are still blooming, exuding a rich fragrance.

Then I saw a woman in simple clothes standing among the flowers... She had thick black hair casually tied behind her head and a few hairpins simply inserted into it.

It looks like she is cutting flowers, every move is beautiful...

Just as Master Qing's mouth was about to break into a smile, the man suddenly turned his head...

"Big Brother!" Master Qing was shocked! The face that appeared before him was exactly the same as Big Brother's! No, it's not! How could it be him?

Yi Bai? For a moment, she thought her nephew had come here again.

No, she is not, this is a woman. But how could this be? !

Tears flowed uncontrollably, and I watched with my eyes wide open...

The woman was very slow, and she would examine each flower carefully after cutting it. She was so serious! It seemed that the most important thing in the world was which flower to cut next.

The relatives who are imprinted in my mind and the people in front of me overlap without any disobedience.

How could this be?! How could two people who were not related by blood be so similar?

Qing He didn't pay any attention to Master Qing and kept walking forward.

Tears blurred his vision, Master Qing wiped them hastily, and looked again... Indeed, this woman had a face exactly like his elder brother and Yibai.

Even the expressions were the same! Qing He walked for a while and felt empty behind him. He turned around and saw Master Qing standing there without moving. So he walked back and asked, "Master Qing..."

Master Qing was stunned and had no reaction.

"Master Qing!" Qinghe patted her.

The thing in Master Qing's hand fell to the ground, and he let out a soft "ah" as if he had just woken up from a dream.

"What's wrong with you?"

"I, I was blinded." Master Qing's voice was weak.

"Then let's go!" Qinghe helped her pick up her things.

"Qinghe, who is that woman?" Master Qing pointed with trembling fingers.

Qing He took a look and said, "That's the eldest master's concubine, Aunt Xiuyun."

It was strange to see Master Qing's distraught look, so he added, "She is also a relative of Madam Hou's family."

"Oh, is that so..."

"Let's go!"

Master Qing followed Qing He, looking back as he walked.

It seemed that Aunt Xiuyun had cut enough flowers and left with her maid.

Her posture was unrestrained, her clothes fluttering, just like that person...
