After a sleepless night, when Fei Xiu helped him out of bed, it was already starting to rain outside. After Ye Yuning finished her breakfast, the rain was so heavy that she could sing an endless tune on the stone steps outside the room.
Today was the fifteenth, and according to the rules of the Ye's Mansion, they had to pay respects to the Old Mistress, but because the rain was too heavy today, the Old Mistress had to spare the rooms to go to the Pingjing garden where the Old Mistress lived.
Ye Yuning did not like this grandmother of her from the beginning, firstly, because her dislike for her was obvious, and secondly, because of her previous life. After what happened with Li Changle, she immediately agreed to Concubine Qiao's suggestion of marrying her to Li Changle.
If not for her father's strong opposition at that time, based on what she had done to Li Changle, she probably wouldn't even have lived past a year in Li's Mansion.
"Miss, this is the book you wanted." Fei Qing stood up from the box in the corner that held the books, and slowly walked to Ye Yuning's side. She placed the book that was mixed with a layer of dust on the round chair, then quickly jumped away, and started to cough violently.
Just as Fei Xiu was walking in with an oil umbrella with a white crane painted on it, she saw Fei Xiu looking at the little girl, she picked up a book to brush off the dust, and upon seeing the words "Seeking Fragrance", he frowned and asked Ye Yuning: "Miss, is this the recipe for the incense?"
"Yes." I want to learn Fragrance. " Ye Yuning raised his eyebrow, the corners of his mouth lifted, taking the book of incense from Fei Xiu's hands, without explaining anything further, he glanced at the umbrella in Fei Xiu's hands, then automatically flipped open the yellow book, and started reading it bit by bit, "In a while, the rain will lessen, and we will go to Pingjing garden."
If it weren't for the fact that the group of people in her previous life couldn't find the inheritance that her grandfather had left for her mother, she wouldn't have thought of such a case of books.
Lady Wen sat in the front dynasty with incense, and then it was even easier with incense. The Wen Mansion operated mainly with incense, and did business all the way to the first Royal Merchant, then to his grandfather's generation, they suddenly came down from their position in the Royal Merchant, and there was no news of them being in the business, and it was said that the family's wealth, which could rival any country, had attracted the suspicion of the royal family, and thus weakened the Lady Wen family.
Just as he was thinking, Fei Qing suddenly jumped up.
"Pingjing garden? You can't go! " Fei Qing's face was filled with fear, "Today, the old lady's body was not feeling well, and now that the old master of the second house is angering the old lady, it is said that he is currently in a rage, and even the Fifth Miss was kicked out!"
She was the third oldest son of the family, a year earlier than Ye Yuying, and was the fifth oldest.
In the past few years, out of the four or five daughters of the Ye's Mansion, the one who got the most reputation from the old madam was only the fourth eldest, Ye Yuchu, born from a concubine. In her previous life, she had heard of people nagging at her, saying that every time the Old Mistress didn't feel well during the rainy day, Ye Yuying would definitely be smiling merrily when she walked over, and the anger caused by the rheumatism in her eyes would immediately drop by half. Just what happened at the Pingjing garden? Who would have thought that even she was kicked out?
"It's that serious?" Ye Yuning looked surprised: "Yu Ying has always been a pampered one, Grandma loves her the most, don't make me up to fool around."
"Really! This servant will not lie to Miss! " Fei Qing became anxious, "I just heard it from Hui Lan. When she came back from the Lotus Incense Garden in the morning, she heard some noisy talk about money and marriage, and then I also heard the old lady throwing things."
"Hui Lan?" Ye Yuning originally wanted to play with Fei Qing, but she didn't expect to hear this name. She immediately raised her head and looked at Fei Qing with a question, then remembered that she probably didn't know Hui Lan at this time, so she said: "Isn't Hui Lan the girl beside mother who often wears lotus leaf blue? The last time I went to see my mother, I saw her once. Why did she go to the Fragrant Sky Garden so early in the morning? "
"That's her. "The day before yesterday, Madame Liu helped the madame inventory the property. Since she was lacking manpower, she asked the madame for it." Fei Xiu nodded and explained to Ye Yuning.
Understanding the meaning behind her words, Ye Yuning's gaze returned to the incense in her hands.
Looking at the drizzling rain outside the window, Ye Yuning changed into a blue embroidered jacket dress and got Fei Qing to help him tie up a fallen horse bun. She also wore a white jade hairpin carved into the shape of a spirit crane and received the umbrella in Fei Xiu's hands, then headed towards the Pingjing garden that the old lady resided in.
As soon as Ye Yuning entered the Pingjing garden, before she even reached the aisle, she heard the old lady berating him angrily.
"What on earth are you thinking?!"
"Idiot!" I already told you the rules, and you just didn't listen.
"If the Old Master comes back, you, you will all be punished to death!"
After putting away the umbrella, before even entering the door, he saw Nanny Jiang, who had been serving by the Old Mistress's side for a long time.
"Nanny Jiang." With a smile, Ye Yuning greeted Nanny Jiang.
Regarding this Nanny Jiang, Ye Yuning truly treated him as an elder. Back then when she was married, her parents had died, her reputation was in ruins, the old lady refused to send her to the bridal sedan, and even brought a group of servants other than Fei Xiu, but in the end, Nanny Jiang begged for mercy and brought two female servants over to help her dress up, and personally sent her to the bridal sedan.
At that time, his parents had been killed, and besides him almost killing someone, he had also been convicted of killing their parents. On the day of the wedding, if it wasn't for Nanny Jiang, he would have died a long time ago and would never be able to see the truth.
"There's some noise coming from inside. Third Miss, you should go back." Nanny Jiang shook her head and sighed, "Second Elder is really stupid, she believes whatever Concubine Qiao says, it's really …. "Hai."
"Second Uncle?" Ye Yuning did not understand, "What's wrong with Second Uncle?"
She did not know much about the matters of the second house, but her second uncle had always been a lackey. Occasionally, when he did business, he would listen to others talk nonsense and do this whenever he saw one earning something, while the other did so when he picked up watermelons and threw sesame seeds. Besides losing money, he would also lose money.
"Third Miss, don't worry about it. Let's go back." Nanny Jiang looked back worriedly and waved her hand. She sincerely hoped that Ye Yuning would not interfere in this matter.
"Get out!"
"Isn't this Yu Ning?"
The moment he finished speaking, the door behind Nanny Jiang suddenly opened, and a person walked out. He was dressed in a purple embroidered peonies with a full chest dress, with a plain white cloth over his shoulder, and when he spoke, his tone of voice was extremely long, who else could it be?
