Chapter 10

Ye Ying went to the south of the Yangtze River, and the Ye family was relatively safe, so he wrote letters to Ye Ying from time to time.He Linyuan also often comes to Ye Mansion to sit and sit.Ye Xi was naturally very happy. Although he knew that He Linyuan already had a sweetheart, from Ye Xi's point of view, as long as He Linyuan was not with his sweetheart, Ye Xi would have a chance.

As long as He Linyuan writes a greeting card, Ye Xi must be the first person to read it.And every time He Linyuan came to the house, Ye Xi would definitely dress up and serve by He Linyuan's side at any time.He Linyuan has actually hinted many times that he doesn't like Ye Xi, but Ye Xi doesn't seem to have any reaction.Everyone in the Ye Mansion naturally saw Ye Xi's thoughts on He Linyuan, and thinking that He Linyuan would visit Ye Mansion from time to time, Ye Hongxin thought that He Linyuan was also interested in his daughter, so he created opportunities for the two of them to be alone at any time.

I didn't know that He Linyuan came to Ye's house from time to time because of Ye Ying. Ye Ying actually asked He Linyuan to take care of Ye's house before he left. If there is anything, he should tell Ye Ying earlier.

On this day, Ye Xi was still walking with He Linyuan on the mansion, the two walked across the Jiuqu Bridge, Ye Xi pulled He Linyuan to sit down in the pavilion, and told the maid to prepare food.

He Linyuan sat opposite Ye Xi, looking at the surrounding scenery: "This red is not bad, it looks good."

"Yeah, actually my second brother planted this flower." Ye Xi replied, seeing He Linyuan's smile, he knew that He Linyuan was interested, so he went on: "Back then, the pond used to be a flat land, and my mother said to take this piece of land. The land was turned into a pond, and the second brother planted red lotus in it, and a lot of aquatic products were raised underneath, including fish, shrimp, crabs and so on."

"It's common to raise fish in ponds, but only Young Master Ye can do it." He Linyuan couldn't help but laugh.

"Actually, the main reason why my second brother raises them is that he can eat fresh fish and shrimp at any time." Ye Xi also laughed when he said this.

It was only then that He Linyuan understood that it was true that Ye Ying still raised fish according to Ye Ying's temperament, as long as he didn't eat the fish.After hearing Ye Xi finish talking about He Linyuan, he felt that this was Ye Ying.

After Ye Xi finished speaking, there was another silence.Ye Xi thought about it and said, "Master He, you said you already have a sweetheart, could you tell me the story between you and her?"

"You want to hear?" He Linyuan smiled faintly again.

Seeing He Linyuan's smile, Ye Xi immediately lost his mind, "Yes, Mr. He might as well talk about it."

"There's not much to say about it. The first time I met him was at a dinner party and he was sitting next to his father, eating the whole time without looking up. I noticed him throughout the party. .” He Linyuan showed a gentle smile.

Ye Xi knew from it that it seemed that she was the same as her, and he was probably the jewel in the palm of some lord.

"I walked over and talked to him. He was... shy and didn't dare to look up at me. I didn't wait too long and left after a few words of greeting. After that..." He Linyuan didn't continue talking, but smiled Undiminished.

"It seems that Mr. He fell in love at first sight, so do you still have contact with each other in the future?" Ye Xi paused after hearing He Linyuan's words, and asked again.

"Yes, it hasn't been broken." He Linyuan lowered his head and took a sip of tea.

"Since Mr. He likes it, why not propose a marriage? I don't think there are many people who would refuse based on Mr. He's conditions, right?"

"I don't want to trouble him. I can only keep this love deep in my heart." He Linyuan smiled wryly.

Ye Xi could tell from He Linyuan's expression that He Linyuan really loved her badly.Seeing He Linyuan's pained look, it seemed that Ye Xi's heart ached along with him.The two of them stopped talking, only the cool breeze with the fragrance of red lotus was blowing their clothes and hair.

Until Ye Xi sent He Linyuan away, her heart was still sore, and she couldn't tell whether it was for herself or He Linyuan.After that, when He Linyuan came to the house, Ye Xi would cling to He Linyuan from time to time. Sometimes Ye Hongxin asked Ye Xi to accompany He Linyuan and Ye Xi also pretended to be unwell.

Ye Ying's life in the south of the Yangtze River is not bad, and he goes to find Shen Xiao for entertainment from time to time, but most of the time, Chen Bai is there.

From Ye Ying's observation for nearly half a month, he knew that Chen Bai's unusual hospitality to Shen Xiao came from his liking.Naturally, Shen Xiao didn't seem to reject Chen Bo that much, but kept within the range of friends.It seemed that Shen Xiao knew Chen Bai's intentions, but just pretended not to know and turned a blind eye.

At the same time, Ye Ying also knew that the business that Chen Bai talked with him back then was actually not a business at all, but he wanted to show off in front of Ye Ying, and let Ye Ying know that he could give Shen Xiao a lot more than Ye Ying.After Ye Ying knew about this, she also wanted to help Chen Bai secretly. Of course, there was a price.

Because Ye Ying reached certain deals with Chen Bai that Shen Xiao could not let, if Shen Xiao knew the joke, he would not break up with Ye Ying.

Ye Ying also paid attention to it from time to time, and it was not so ordinary to find Shen Xiao, and she would also check his tone from time to time.

"I think Brother Chen is a pretty good person, what do you think of him?" Ye Ying lay lazily on the desk and looked at Shen Xiao playing the piano.

"En." Shen Xiao said without moving his eyes.

"Look, he even gave you the piano, which is very valuable." Seeing that it didn't work, Ye Ying changed the topic to the piano under Shen Xiao's finger.

Shen Xiao stopped, looked sideways at Ye Ying, "What do you want to say? Or do you want this piano?"

"Brother Chen gave it to you, why would I want it. In fact, it's nothing but that Brother Chen treats you differently from others. I just want to know if you treat Brother Chen differently from others?"

"It's not different." Shen Xiao replied without thinking.

"Oh, but I don't think that's the case. I think the sentences on the piano are quite consistent with you."

Shen Xiao looked down at the sentences engraved on the body of the piano, silent.The sunset shines in the deep mountains and the rain in the deep autumn.There is only this sentence on the body of the piano. In fact, what Chen Bo wants to say is how deep is the previous sentence of love?Presumably Shen Xiao also knew this line of the poem.Ye Ying actually wrote this sentence to He Linyuan quietly, and talked to He Linyuan by asking the meaning of this sentence.He Linyuan is not like Ye Ying, Ye Ying's head hurts when he mentions reading, but He Linyuan has indeed passed the children's examination, the township examination, the general examination, and the palace examination.

"Perhaps." Shen Xiao said slowly after being silent for a while.

In fact, Shen Xiao also saw that Ye Ying was testing his attitude towards Chen Bai.In fact, Shen Xiao himself didn't know what it was like when he faced Chen Bai.Shen Xiao knew what Chen Bo meant, it was impossible to say that Shen Xiao didn't have the slightest interest in Chen Bo, but Shen Xiao didn't really want Shen Xiao to be with Chen Bo.Shen Xiao only hopes to be like a friend.Shen Xiao thought in her heart that if Chen Bai had to give an answer, Shen Xiao could promise Chen Bo to be with him.

Thinking of this, Shen Xiao changed the subject: "What about you?"

"What?" Ye Ying was a little confused by Shen Xiao's question.

"Don't you also have someone you like? What about you and him?"

"That's it. Didn't I just talk about you? Why did it involve me again?" Ye Ying immediately realized that Shen Xiao was changing the subject, so she returned to the original topic.Since you have accepted the benefits of others, you must help them to get things done.

"Forget it, it's already time, let's go eat." Shen Xiao got up, put the piano away, and said to Ye Ying.

"Okay, what shall we eat?"

"You decide." Shen Xiao led Ye Ying out of the door.

He Linyuan, who received a letter from Ye Ying a few days ago, looked at the words in the letter and fell into deep thought.

Mr. He, what is the meaning of the sunset in the mountains and the rain in autumn?

He Linyuan looked at the letter for a long time without moving it. When He Linyuan saw this sentence, there was always a thought in his mind that he couldn't get over. Who did Ye Ying meet in Jiangnan? Was it someone who borrowed from Ye Ying? Poetry expresses feelings and ideas.He Linyuan couldn't work all day long, and the matter of Ye Ying has been affecting He Linyuan's thoughts.

Two days later, He Linyuan couldn't figure it out after going through thousands of guesses, so he had to write to Ye Ying to inquire about the situation, and explained the meaning of this sentence to Ye Ying in detail.

A few days later, I finally received a reply from Ye Ying.Ye Ying thanked He Linyuan, vaguely overshadowed the matter of Shen Xiao and Chen Bai, just said that she read it in a book and didn't know much about it.Naturally, He Linyuan knew that Ye Ying didn't like reading, so how could he read? Moreover, even with Ye Ying's temperament, it was impossible for him to be troubled by such a sentence and even come to ask He Linyuan.

But He Linyuan couldn't help it, he and Ye Ying were so far away, if Ye Ying didn't say anything, He Linyuan couldn't help it either.

Ye Ying also asked He Linyuan about other things, and at the end Ye Ying said that she would be back soon, which made He Linyuan a little happy.

Ye Ying's handling of tea in Jiangnan is almost done. Although it has gone through a lot of twists and turns, it is still properly arranged.Ye Ying also went to see the embroidery for Ye Mu and Mo Shuyi from time to time.

It took more than half a month to finally embroider, Ye Ying got the embroidery, looked at it carefully, and was quite satisfied.

Ye Ying walked around the tea garden and tea house again, and told those in charge to do their own things well, and wait for Ye Ying to come next time.

Ye Ying also told Chen Bai and Shen Xiao that he was leaving in a few days. Shen Xiao was used to Ye Ying's comings and goings. Chen Bai was only interested in Shen Xiao and had no feeling that Ye Ying was leaving. It's just that Ye Ying hasn't helped him catch Shen Xiao, so he feels a bit at a loss.But Ye Ying promised him that if Ye Ying came to Jiangnan next time and Chen Bai hadn't chased Shen Xiao, Ye Ying would continue to help him.This made Chen Bai feel a little more at ease.

"Don't worry, I will help you take good care of Xiangju Building." Chen Bai said to Ye Ying with a smile.

Ye Ying was powerless for a while, really as long as Chen Bai didn't eat up the Xiangju building, let alone take care of it.I don't know why, since Chen Bo ate that dumpling meal, Chen Bo came to Xiangju Building to eat basically every time he ate, and he ate a lot every time, really.well.Ye Ying sighed inwardly.

The quoted verse is Nalan Xingde's "Butterfly Love Flower · Out of the Fortress". Although it is a bit inappropriate, you can just read it and don't take it seriously.
