It turns out that this small courtyard hidden in the depths of the garden is actually a forbidden place for the Han family
Qin'er and Shan'er in Hua'er's mouth were the two maids who stopped them from coming, and they should be old lady Han's confidant maid. If even old lady Han's confidants are not allowed to go to that yard... Ren Yaoqi is really curious about what kind of secrets are hidden in the yard.
The little maid Hua'er took Ren Yaoqi to a clean room on the east side of the garden. Although the clean room in the garden was not as spacious and delicate as the one in the yard, it was clean and tidy.
Clean and smoked with sandalwood.
When Ren Yaoqi changed his clothes and came out, Hua'er was about to take Ren Yaoqi back to the original road, but Ren Yaoqi said, "We came from this road just now, and I only visited half of this garden. , why don't we go around from the north. Just look at the scenery in the garden."
The clean room is to the east, and the mysterious courtyard is to the west at the back. If you go around from the north against the garden wall, you can pass the courtyard.
Originally, Ren Yaoqi thought that he would need to spend more words to convince Hua'er, but he didn't want to be Hua'er, but he readily responded, and immediately turned around and led Ren Yaoqi to the north of the garden.
Although the little girl has been taught not to break into some forbidden areas of the Han family since she entered the Han residence, the little girl does not think that even the road in front of the forbidden area is forbidden. Because on weekdays there are some maids and old ladies passing by, and people in the kitchen go there every day to deliver meals to the dumb women who are looking at the yard.
The gardens of big families all look the same, although there are some differences between the gardens in the north and the gardens in the south, but for Ren Yaoqi, who has seen both, it is not unusual. So along the way, although she pretended to be looking at the flowers and trees in the yard, she was actually looking at it secretly.
When he was about to reach the door of the courtyard, Ren Yaoqi suddenly saw a figure flashing in front of him with sharp eyes.
Ren Yaoqi was stunned for a moment, and glanced at the maid Hua'er, but Hua'er didn't notice, and didn't notice the appearance of the figure just now.
Just now, the man disappeared very quickly, but Ren Yaoqi recognized that the man was a woman, and the clothes were very similar to what his seventh sister, Ren Yaoting, was wearing today.
Was that person just now Ren Yaoting
Didn't Ren Yaoting follow Han You to see the flowers? How can a single word appear here? The place where the man disappeared just now happened to be the door of the mysterious courtyard wall. And isn't that yard supposed to be guarded? How did Ren Yaoting get in? What is she going in for
The gate of the mysterious courtyard finally fully appeared in front of Ren Yaoqi. To be honest, it's just two very ordinary red wooden doors, there's really nothing special about it.
The door was hidden, and Ren Yaoqi could see that the crack of the door was not closed. However, the things in the gate were blocked by the heavy mahogany alone, and it was impossible to peep from the outside.
Ren Yaoqi's steps stopped in front of the courtyard gate.
At this time, there were footsteps coming from the northwest corner. Ren Yaoqi heard someone say: "...Miss Ren Qi was playing with our young lady and asked her to find her. But the two servants have never seen Miss Qi."
Another person hurriedly said: "Master, the old lady has instructed the servants to take good care of the young ladies and not let them crawl around. But now Miss Ren Qi..."
At this time, they just turned around from the corner and met Ren Yaoqi's master and servant three.
It was the maid named Shan'er who was talking, and she stopped immediately. The one who came with the two maids was Han Yunqian, who had never appeared.
Han Yunqian was stunned when he suddenly bumped into Ren Yaoqi, but Shan'er reacted first, looking at Ren Yaoqi suspiciously and asked, "Is it Miss Ren? Why are you here?"
Ren Yaoqi stepped forward to greet Han Yunqian, smiled and called Young Master Han.
After saluting, the maid Hua'er hurried forward and whispered a few words with Shan'er, as if to explain the reason why Ren Yaoqi was here.
The maid next to Mrs. Han was indeed a powerful one. After hearing that, her eyes still turned around Ren Yaoqi for a few times without a trace, before she smiled and bowed her knees and said in apology, "It was the servant who neglected the guest, so please forgive the fifth lady. "
Han Yunqian nodded at Ren Yaoqi, his deep eyes made people unable to see the clue.
At this time, someone came here again, and it didn't take long to appear in front of everyone's field of vision. It turned out that it was Han You.
"Brother, have you found Sister Ting? Grandfather is back, if..." Han You hurriedly asked when he saw Han Yunqian, not even seeing Ren Yaoqi present.
When he suddenly realized it, he stopped, nodded and smiled at Ren Yaoqi embarrassedly, but the anxiety in his eyes could be felt. She is not a person who is good at covering up her emotions.
"My seventh sister is gone?" Ren Yaoqi seemed to have only realized it now, and asked in astonishment.
Han You hurriedly said: "Sister Ting was playing with me before, and ran to the rockery and hid for me to find her, but I searched all over the rockery and couldn't find her, and she didn't respond when I called her, so I asked Shan'er and the others. Help me to find it, my brother just came back, so let's look for it together." Han You said here, comforting Ren Yaoqi kindly, "Sister Ting was just playing with me and hid, don't worry."
Ren Yaoqi shook his head and said apologetically, "My seventh sister is naughty and caused you trouble."
"Miss Ren just came all the way, did you meet Miss Seven?" Shan'er asked Ren Yaoqi, but her eyes stopped on the little maid named Hua'er beside Ren Yaoqi.
Ren Yaoqi thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "We didn't meet anyone else."
Hua'er felt Fan'er's gaze and nodded hurriedly.
Han Yunqian was thoughtful, turned his head and stopped his gaze in front of the red wooden door a few steps away, his eyes condensed.
Although Qin'er and Shan'er two maids pretended to be calm, their pale faces betrayed their true emotions. Are they afraid
"Go and call the dumb woman out and ask her if she has seen Miss Seven." When Han Yunqian said these words, his face had returned to his normal calm expression.
Shan'er bowed her head and said "yes", hurriedly walked to the red wooden door, pushed open the hidden door a little, and stepped in. After entering, he turned around and closed the courtyard door.
Ren Yaoqi looked at the different expressions of everyone present, and stood in place without moving.
"Will the fifth miss go to the pavilion to rest first?" Han Yunqian was gentle and authentic to Ren Yaoqi, his tone was only concerned, not forced.
Ren Yaoqi shook his head: "I want to find my seventh sister first."
Han Yunqian paused for a moment, then nodded, and said nothing.
"Brother..." Han You whispered to Han Yunqian, looking like he couldn't say what he wanted to say.
