Red Mansion: Picking up a Lin Daiyu

Chapter 414 Brother Yue, can you open the door?

"Girl, what's wrong with you tonight? You're not as graceful as the second girl in public. You're restrained, which is not how you should be."

"When you met the Marquis, you barely said a few words. The first impression must have been very bad. How can we compete in this mansion in the future..."

Before she could utter the word "favor", the ashamed and angry Tanchun covered her mouth tightly.

"You, can you be serious? What are you talking about? When did I say I wanted to fight?"

The secretary raised her brows slightly, with a hint of anger at her misfortune and pity for her lack of resistance, but because Tanchun covered her mouth too tightly, she stammered and couldn't speak.

"Also, you better keep your mouth shut when you're out there. Among the sisters, I live closest to the Marquis. If someone passes by our door and hears what we say, and spreads some rumors in the room, wouldn't I be even more ashamed to see the Marquis, bah, Sister Lin?"

"Do you understand?"

Tanchun warned coldly, and the secretary had no choice but to nod repeatedly.

Seeing that she had listened to her words and stopped making trouble, Tanchun let go of her hand and went to put on her makeup.

The secretary was left alone, with a sullen look on his face and feeling very aggrieved.

"You were the one who asked me to make sacrifices, and now you are the one who told me not to think too much. It's all my fault."

"But if the girl really wants to take this path, now is obviously a good time to get there first."

"Besides, it's better to do it sooner rather than later. If I can express my feelings to the Marquis the night before, even if we can't take the relationship one step further, it should make the Marquis take care of me more in the future, right?"

The secretary was very worried and didn't know what Tanchun was thinking.

Tanchun sat under the dressing table, hooking a few strands of black hair with her fingers and drawing circles in a daze.

Her heart, which had been calm, was stirred up again by the teasing of the servant.

In Tanchun's view, she thought she could escape the predicament of the Jia family by staying in the Duke Dingguo's Mansion, but unexpectedly she fell into another quagmire.

The only difference between the two is that as long as they can make some sacrifices in the Dingguo Mansion, the future is still very bright, but in the Jia family it seems like there is no light at all. They are just canaries kept in a cage, and they may sell themselves out at any time because of family marriage in exchange for the interests of the family.

If she thought about it carefully, if she followed the old ways, she would not be able to choose whether to marry or whom to marry. Moreover, in Tanchun's mind, there was no man in the world who could compare with Yue Ling.

Whether it is admiration or love, Tanchun seems to be standing at a fork in the road, hesitating.

The surroundings were strangely quiet. She was in a trance for a while. When Tanchun came back to her senses, her cheeks were flushed. "Shishu, Shishu? Come and help me grind the ink."

I called several times, but no one answered in the room.

Tanchun stood up in confusion and searched the hall from the inner room, but there was no sign of the secretary.

Looking at the main entrance again, the bolt that should have been closed was standing on the side, as if someone had just gone out.

Tanchun was suddenly startled, "Oh no, the secretary is not going to do anything stupid!"

……

Yingchun still had some hope in her heart, thinking that everything Siqi heard was not true and the rumors in the market were even more unreliable. However, she didn't expect Yue Ling to open the door with his shoulders exposed.

The first time Yingchun saw the man’s exposed skin and his angular muscles, she almost fainted on the spot.

Siqi hurriedly supported Yingchun, who was shaking, and pushed her forward, "Miss, this is the last step left. If you get stage fright again, won't everything that has come before be in vain?"

Looking up at Yue Ling's body again, Si Qi couldn't help swallowing her saliva and said, "Don't you see that the Marquis is ready? We can't back out anymore."

Whispering softly, Siqi smiled and helped Yingchun into the room.

"Don't blame me, my Lord. My daughter has never been to a man's house before. It's a little hard for her to adapt to it, but she will be fine after a while."

Yue Ling opened his mouth, but did not ask what Siqi had just said.

He poured tea for Yingchun first, then nodded and said, "It's okay. I was not well prepared and didn't notice how bad my body was. Please wait a moment while I go back to my room."

Siqi took the tea for Yingchun, who was dizzy and unable to speak. She was surprised, "The Marquis has taken off so little, is he still not prepared enough? Did he take off his pants as well? Or is he dissatisfied with us wearing too much?"

Yingchun took the tea and saw that it was pure and clear with only a little foam floating on it. She asked fearfully, "Siqi, can I drink this?"

Siqi frowned, feeling helpless about Yingchun's cowardice.

"Girl, now that you are in this room, you should have made sufficient preparations. No matter what the Marquis gives you to drink, you should drink it."

"If you are still a little scared, just hide behind me for a while. Doesn't the Marquis have a hobby of having maids sleep with him? Most likely he just wants you to watch."

"Watching?" Yingchun lowered her head deeply, "This, this is too inappropriate..."

But now there is no door to heaven and no hole to earth, and we can’t retreat even if we want to.

Yingchun drank the tea in one gulp and silently said, "It would be great if this tea could make me fall asleep. After I wake up, I can pretend nothing happened."

Yue Ling, who went to the room to change clothes, of course had no idea that the master and servant had such rich psychological activities. Instead, he came to the wardrobe and took the clothes handed over by Qin Keqing and Xiangling, who were staring at him eagerly.

While handing it over, Qin Keqing also rubbed Yue Ling's shoulder and rubbed it.

Yue Ling frowned slightly, "If you want to hide, hide well and don't let others find you."

Qin Keqing pouted and responded softly, "I thought it was Miss Lin, but it turns out it wasn't. Someone even more strange came. Could it be that the master really has feelings for those girls from the Jia family?"

Yue Ling rolled his eyes and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? I just want to ask about something. Just wait here quietly and don't make any noise!"

"And you, Xiangling, keep a close eye on her."

Xiangling shuddered when her name was called, and then nodded repeatedly, "Oh, I see."

With a bang, Yue Ling closed the wardrobe again, composed himself, and came out to face Yingchun and Siqi, the master and servant.

Seeing Siqi standing beside Yingchun, with her hands clasped in front of her, looking very reserved, Yue Ling smiled warmly, "Don't be nervous, you can sit down too."

"sit?"

Siqi raised her head, blinked and said, "Is it inconvenient to sit down?"

Yue Ling waved his hand, "What's the inconvenience? Just treat it as your own room."

Siqi nodded in astonishment, but then she realized that Yue Ling was already fully dressed and did not look like someone who was going to sleep with him, so she couldn't help but feel confused.

"My Lord, are you dissatisfied with my daughter? She is usually a little dull, but she has good intentions and likes you. I hope you will not despise her."

Siqi had just sat down when she stood up again.

She had just complained about her daughter's difficulty in achieving anything, but now the situation was dire and she needed to step forward and break the deadlock.

With a stamp of her foot and a determined heart, Siqi quickly came in front of Yue Ling, leaned over and was about to ride on Yue Ling.

"My Lord, the girl is timid, so I will let her...eh, eh..."

Yue Ling was frightened by Si Qi's rash action. If Qin Keqing and the others had not suddenly attacked and sobered him up, Yue Ling would have been unable to react in time and let Si Qi succeed.

Jumping up from the chair in an instant, Yue Ling grabbed Siqi by the back of her clothes and threw her out like a kitten.

In fact, Siqi was the tallest among these maids, only a head shorter than Yue Ling. In Yue Ling's hands, she seemed very frail.

Siqi was so dizzy from the fall that her mind stopped working and she had no idea of ​​the current situation.

"Hey, what's going on? Didn't the Marquis ask us to sleep with him?"

"Sleeping? What sleeping?"

It wasn't until Siqi asked that Yue Ling realized how big the misunderstanding was.

Looking at Yingchun in disbelief, Yue Ling asked, "Miss Yingchun, I shouldn't have said such a thing, right?"

Yingchun was so embarrassed that she just nodded her head repeatedly, not knowing what to say in response.

Siqi continued to pursue him, asking, "Then why did the Marquis call us here at night?"

Yue Ling held his forehead helplessly, "I called you here just to ask Miss Yingchun whether the undergarment she was wearing was cut by herself, bought from outside, or obtained through other means."

After saying this, Yue Ling also felt something was wrong, and added, "Miss Yingchun, don't worry. I'm not saying that I'm interested in your underwear, nor do I have any improper thoughts about you, but this involves my business. If there are similar styles on the market, I shouldn't have proposed this business to Your Majesty."

"This involves a lot of things, do you understand?"

After hearing Yue Ling say that he had no improper thoughts about her, Yingchun breathed a sigh of relief, but she felt a little disappointed inside.

Normally, she had little confidence, and this time she was even encouraged by Siqi to give up everything and try her best to find a way out, but in the end, it was all in vain.

Yingchun wanted to laugh at herself, but she couldn't.

With her head lowered even more, Yingchun bit her lip and replied softly, "Okay, Lord Marquis, I understand."

Yue Ling asked anxiously, "Miss Yingchun, in order to prevent others from misunderstanding, I will speak frankly. Where did that bellyband come from? I remember that I asked Qingwen to make that style, and she just happened to bring it to her room."

"Yes, we got it from Qingwen."

Yingchun suppressed her shame and replied, "We ran into Qingwen in the garden. After she fell to the ground, we secretly kept one of her scattered clothes."

"This... there are many misunderstandings, but we were the ones who stole first. Please punish us, sir."

Yingchun stood up and was quite determined when she confessed her guilt, and she was about to kneel down.

Siqi had nothing to say. She was the instigator, and Yingchun had always been gentle in nature. She was grateful that she didn't put all the blame on her.

She walked forward quickly, knelt in front of Yingchun, and said with tears in her eyes: "My Lord, all this was my idea. I also stole the bellyband. If you want to punish me, please punish me, not the girl."

"Once this matter gets out, Miss will not be able to see other girls, and she will not even be able to go back to Rongguo Mansion."

Yue Ling first supported Yingchun who was about to kneel down, feeling mixed emotions.

Especially a bellyband, which is not a very valuable thing. If they stole it, it could seduce men. I think it has only one use.

Moreover, now that I think about it, Yingchun's bowing to pour the wine when toasting was intentional.

This made Yue Ling look at him with new eyes.

I thought she had just become more capable of handling situations, but I didn't expect that she was so tactful in her little tricks.

It’s not wrong for a girl to be a little scheming, especially for women in this world. They cannot protect themselves without scheming.

After thinking for a while, Yue Ling comforted the two and said, "Siqi, you should get up first. I don't know what you misunderstood that led to this farce tonight. However, since this bellyband is not a foreign object, it also relieves my worries. After all, I have submitted the memorial tonight. If there is a mistake now, it will be a big mistake."

"You two have a deep bond as master and servant. Just live well in the mansion and don't think about anything unreasonable. The rumors out there are often untrue."

"As for Miss Yingchun, she doesn't look like what I heard about her in the past. If she can work hard like this in everything, I think Miss Yingchun will be no worse than anyone else. Just live the life you want and work hard."

“What kind of life do I want?”

Yingchun murmured again.

To be honest, she never thought about such things in the past.

Because of her experiences since childhood, she decided that her destiny was not in her own hands, but was arranged by the elders in her family.

She is like duckweed in a pond, drifting wherever the waves roll.

Now that Yue Ling's words had awakened her, she couldn't figure out for a moment what kind of life she wanted to live.

"I... someone like me can also have a choice?"

Yue Ling smiled and said, "Everyone can do it, why can't Miss Yingchun do it? Since Miss Yingchun has never thought about these things, why don't you think about it seriously during your time in the mansion? When did Miss Yingchun smile from the bottom of her heart?"

Sweeping away the previous haze, Yingchun slowly raised her head, looked directly at Yue Ling's face, and nodded solemnly, "Okay, thank you for your advice, Lord Marquis."

Seeing Yingchun's face as rosy as clouds and eyes as clear as water, she was quite likable. However, she was usually very self-deprecating and walked with her head down, so Yue Ling had a vague impression of her appearance.

As a girl, self-confidence is often the first element of beauty. In order to cheer her up and not lose hope in life, Yue Ling kindly praised her: "Miss Yingchun is more likable when she is generous and generous. Usually, you hunch your back and look really inconspicuous, and you don't look like a girl of your age."

"I……"

After hearing Yue Ling's words, it seemed as if my heartstrings were touched again.

Yingchun quickly lowered her head again, her face flushed with embarrassment, but she still felt an indescribable sweetness in her heart.

"The Marquis is different from what I thought before, and is also very different from what is rumored in the market." Yingchun murmured, her voice as soft as a mosquito's hum, as if she was talking to herself.

Yue Ling opened the glass teacup and poured tea for himself while also refilling the cup for Yingchun. "So how did Miss Yingchun originally view me? How is it different from what people say?"

Yingchun took the teacup with both hands, pondered for a moment, then smiled and said shyly, "In the past, I thought the Marquis was a sex maniac. People in the streets also spread that he was a party boy, having sex with ten women a day. However, after talking to him today, I realized that the Marquis is not like that at all."

"He is a gentle and refined man, and he doesn't look like a general."

"No wonder Sister Lin likes you so much."

Seeing that the impact of the farce had faded a lot, Yue Ling also relaxed. No matter what, this was the best ending. "Miss Yingchun, you are too kind. It's late now, and I can't keep you for long. Can we talk another day?"

Yingchun took a sip of tea and nodded, "Alright, I shouldn't have bothered you any more. Thank you for helping me untie the knot in my heart."

"Siqi, let's go back."

Siqi also nodded shyly, her heart full of complaints, "What on earth did this girl Shishu say? When I see her tomorrow, I will definitely give her a good beating!"

In front of Yue Ling, Si Qi had no choice but to apologize and said, "My Lord, I was so offended just now. I promise I won't be so ridiculous again in the future."

Yue Ling nodded and smiled, "Okay, I don't know what has corrupted a girl like you."

Just as the farce was coming to an end, the door of the outer hall was knocked again.

The three of them all looked up in astonishment. Yue Ling was even more dazed for a moment, thinking to himself, "What's going on? Here again? I didn't invite so many people?"

The sudden situation immediately made the atmosphere in the room tense.

Yingchun's already mischievous face was now even more flustered and expressionless. "My Lord, it's already this late. No matter who comes, they will be unable to explain if they see me in your room. I'd better go into the room and hide there for a while, okay?"

Siqi also nodded like a chick pecking at rice, "Yes, yes, please be a good person to the end, my Lord. If we are caught, the young lady and I will not be able to live in this mansion anymore."

Yue Ling couldn't help but look towards the closet in the house.

Siqi understood immediately, and pushed aside the curtain leading to the inner room, waving her hand anxiously at Yingchun, "Miss, what are you still standing there for? Why don't you come in and hide? The Marquis has a wardrobe here, and it's just the right size."

Seeing the urgency of the situation, Yingchun no longer hesitated, lifted her skirt and rushed into the house with Siqi.

"Hey, wait!"

Yue Ling wanted to stop it but it was too late.

Siqi held Yingchun with one hand and grabbed the handle of the wardrobe with the other, and pulled hard, but the door did not open.

Looking more closely, the wardrobe was not locked. Siqi was tall and strong after all, so with a force of both hands, not only did the door open, but she also pulled a person out.

"what!"

Siqi and Yingchun hugged each other tightly, both of them were frightened out of their wits by the scene.

Qin Keqing, who was kneeling on the ground and speechless, stood up, patted her skirt, and pushed the two of them to hide in the closet.

"You are so strong, next time I need to lift something in the room, I won't call Madam over, I will just ask you to do the hard labor. What are you still standing there for? Why don't you hide inside?"

"Hurry up, someone outside will come in soon!"

Qin Keqing fell down and was very angry. She pinched her waist and scolded the two men.

Yingchun was sent in by Siqi first. She looked inside and saw a pair of eyes in the darkness. "Ah! Who is this?"

Xiangling raised her head and smiled awkwardly, "The second girl is me..."

Yingchun stroked her chest, took a long breath, and sighed, "Why did you hide in the closet for no reason?"

Qin Keqing finally hid in the cupboard in anger and closed the door, whispering angrily: "Isn't it because of you two that we ruined the good thing? You two are so indecent, breaking into the master's door so late! And you, Siqi, even sat on the master's body, how daring, that's where you sit? You deserve to be thrown out by the master!"

Siqi was also embarrassed and annoyed by what Qin Keqing said, and retorted: "You, you have the nerve to say that about me and the young lady. The young lady and I just misunderstood the Marquis's intention. I think you two are the ones who really came here to steal."

"When we entered the house, the Marquis's clothes were taken off by you two, right? Aren't you more daring than me?"

Qin Keqing was even more annoyed. "We are the master's maids. There is nothing wrong with us coming to sleep with him. Even if Sister Lin saw us, she wouldn't say anything. What about you? You came later, and you climbed into the master's bed on the first night!"

"If you were really not afraid of being seen, you wouldn't be hiding in the closet."

"you!"

Yingchun and Xiangling hurriedly separated the two and covered their mouths.

"Alright, alright, stop arguing. If someone hears us, then all our hiding will be in vain."

"Well, let's see which annoying guy is coming from behind!"

There was a constant noise coming from the closet, but luckily the furniture in the mansion all came from the old Qin Palace, with solid materials and good sound insulation, so Yue Ling could only hear some muffled noises from outside.

However, he still waited until the room was a little calmer before slowly opening the door.

"Who is it, knocking on the door so late?"

After the door was opened, a little maid stood in front of the door and introduced herself, "My Lord, I am the maidservant of the third young lady of the Jia family. I want to talk to you about something."

Every failure is a lesson learned. To avoid misunderstanding, Yue Ling first propped up the door frame with his hands, stopped the little girl, and asked, "What do you want to say? Can't you say it tomorrow morning? Besides, if you just have something to ask, you can just ask it outside."

A hint of shyness appeared on Shishu's face again, which was very obvious under the light of the lanterns in the corridor.

Yue Ling suddenly had a bad feeling.

"What's going on? Why are these girls following like they're possessed?"

The secretary was too embarrassed to speak, and she stood in front of the door hesitating for a long time, but couldn't ask anything. Yue Ling certainly didn't have the patience to argue with her anymore, not to mention that there were four time bombs in the room.

"Since you haven't made up your mind, go back to your room and think about it tonight. It won't be too late to come back tomorrow morning."

After saying that, Yue Ling was about to close the door and go back to his room.

But the maid was a little stubborn and quickly persuaded him, "My Lord, please wait for me, I will think about it."

Slowly, Shishu's breathing became heavy, and no one knew what was going on in her little head, as her face became redder and redder.

"Shishu! Are you there?"

Suddenly, a voice called out from the end of the corridor.

Shishu immediately came to his senses, lowered his head from under Yue Ling's armpit and went into the room, "Oh, oh, the girl is here to catch me, no, no, I can't go back!"

Yue Ling was lost in thought for a moment when Tanchun came to him and asked, "My Lord, have you seen the maid?"

Yue Ling turned his head towards the room and said, "It's right in the room."

"what?"

Tanchun was stunned for a moment, then said angrily, "This damned girl, did she not disturb the Marquis's rest? I will catch her right away."

Yue Ling nodded repeatedly and made room for the entrance. "That's perfect."

Tanchun lowered her head slightly, shyly stepped over the threshold and came into the room.

This was also her first time to come to a man's bedroom. The smell in the room was not the fragrance of a boudoir, but a faint scent of tea. It made her feel novel and her heart beat faster.

"Shishu! You silly girl, why don't you go back? Don't cause trouble for the Marquis here, it's embarrassing!"

Shishu hid behind the carved floor-standing screen and pouted in distress, "No, Miss, we can't go back. We are already here, wouldn't it be a waste of opportunity if we go back?"

"Even if you don't have that intention, it's fine to confess to the Marquis. Anyway, no matter what, I'm going to risk it tonight!"

In the closet, four pairs of eyes were watching the farce outside with great interest.

All the old conflicts have thus vanished.

Qin Keqing couldn't help but ask Siqi, "Siqi, do you know what the secretary said? Why don't I understand?"

Siqi bit her back teeth and said with resentment, "It was her who made up nonsense stories like the Marquis likes to have the maids sleep with him, and that the maids have to sacrifice themselves for the lady's favor, and other such nonsense."

"Now think about it, how could such an upright man as the Marquis really covet beauty?"

Yingchun also nodded, but when she looked around and saw Qin Keqing and Xiangling, who were originally here to serve her in bed, she couldn't help but twitch her lips.

"Is the Marquis really a lecher? He is really a complicated person."

After hearing what Siqi said, Qin Keqing was so amused that she fell backwards and laughed so hard that her body shook with laughter. "Hahaha, you guys are so funny. If Sister Lin knew what happened tonight, she would skin you all alive."

Outside the closet, Tanchun pulled the secretary's wrist in shame and anger, wanting to take her back.

However, the maid held on to the screen tightly and refused to let go, not wanting to miss this so-called good opportunity, and even more so to make up for the girl's poor performance at the banquet.

"Miss, look at the Marquis, he lives in such a big house by himself, but he doesn't even have anyone to serve him. How can this be convenient?"

"There's nothing wrong with me standing up for myself, right?"

Tanchun poked the secretary's head with her fist and said, "You are really possessed by a devil! Is the Marquis afraid of the dark at night? Why does he have to have you accompany him?"

Watching the two women fighting, Yue Ling was speechless, "There must be some misunderstanding. Shishu, can you please let go first and stop damaging the furniture in this room?"

Sure enough, Yue Ling’s words were much more useful than Tanchun’s.

In order to please Yue Ling, Shishu obediently let go of her hand, pushed Tanchun's hand away, and came to Yue Ling.

"Don't worry, my Lord. Although I have no other strengths, I am obedient and will do whatever you want."

Tanchun covered the secretary's mouth with her hand and said angrily, "Can you please stop embarrassing me here? You are my personal maid. If my sisters knew that I served the Marquis here for a whole night, what would they think of me?"

The secretary struggled to break free, "At this hour, they have already gone to bed, how could anyone know? The Marquis will definitely not tell anyone, right?"

This pair of funny guys really made Yue Ling laugh and cry.

Unlike Yingchun and Siqi just now, these two people have more similar personalities, like a perfect match.

"Okay, since you are so well behaved, then listen to me and go back to rest tonight. As for what you want to say, it won't be too late tomorrow."

Yue Ling smiled and pushed the door out together.

Shishu was completely deflated. "Miss, you are incompetent and you are making things worse. You are really ruining my mood. I think you will regret it in the future!"

Tanchun glared and raised her hand to hit him, "You still say that, don't you think today is not embarrassing enough?"

Before the three of them reached the door, they heard knocking on the door again, and someone even called out for help.

"My Lord, are you asleep? I couldn't sleep and went to look for my second and third sisters, but they were not in their rooms. It's so late, where could they go? Is there a thief in the house? I'm a little scared."

Tanchun's eyes widened in shock. "It's over! Now our fourth sister is here to find us! It's so late and we're still in the Marquis' room. How can we explain it clearly?"

The secretary was also panicking, looking around the house, "How about we hide for a while? Wait until the fourth lady leaves, then we can go back?"

"That's all it can do!"

Tanchun and Shishu responded very quickly. Before asking Yue Ling's opinion, they had already gone to the room to open the closet door.

Unexpectedly, before the two of them touched the wardrobe, the wardrobe opened from the inside and two pairs of hands stretched out.

"Go, get out of the way, there's no room here!"

"what?"

Without time to be surprised, Tanchun and Shishu hurriedly hid under the bed.

Then, he looked at the wardrobe not far away with a look of shock, and it seemed to be shaking slightly.

"Shishu, did you see that there seemed to be several people in the closet?"

Shishu's eyes turned red with grievance, "Miss, I told you that the competition in this mansion is very fierce. We are so close to each other, but we can only hide under the bed."

"Ahem, there's still dust under the bed. Why hasn't anyone cleaned it? My skirt is going to get dirty."

Yue Ling covered his face and didn't want to face it at all. He just wanted this farce to end as soon as possible, otherwise if Lin Daiyu knew about it, everything would be over.

She opened the door and welcomed Xichun in. She also saw maids of similar height and age following her.

The two of them were like two little crybabies. No one knew how they overcame their fear. They walked hand in hand and wandered around other yards to find this place.

Yue Ling first welcomed the youngest girls from the two courtyards in, and comforted them, "Don't be afraid, they may also be unable to sleep, so they went to other courtyards. This is unpredictable."

Two pairs of tearful eyes blinked, "Is this true? The Marquis knows where they went?"

Yue Ling looked at the closet, then at the bed, and lied helplessly, "I stayed in the room the whole time, so I didn't see them."

Xichun lowered her eyes slightly and sighed softly, "Okay then, I'll go look in another room."

Yue Ling kindly said, "I'd better take you back. It's so late, and it's not good for you two to walk around outside. Although the mansion won't be robbed, but the garden is so big, I'm afraid you will get lost."

The two little girls looked at each other and nodded together, "Then I'll have to trouble you, my Lord."

The two followed behind Yue Ling and were about to go out together when they heard a knock on the door. What was different from the previous times was that it was a familiar voice that couldn't be more familiar.

"Brother Yue? Can you open the door?"
