Chapter 9: A Tour of the Garden

"Miss Yeon." Li Qingye's voice suddenly rang out.

Yun Qi glanced openly at the doorway and said, "Lord Li has returned."

Pei Si Yan exhaled, Li Qing Dye came back at the right time to help her get through this smoothly, Pei Si Yan said to the two maids, "Let's go over there."

Yun Shan looked at the cabinet and somewhat reluctantly followed behind her master.

Pei Si Yan patted her chest, thinking that later on, she must find an excuse to invite them all out of the room, especially the inquisitive Yun Shan, and then move the bloody clothes somewhere else.

Li Qingye stood in the doorway with his hands hanging down respectfully, his face was as warm as jade, but unfortunately never showed a smile, Pei Si Yan sometimes thought that if he smiled, he must look better. But expect a big iceberg smile, then a very unrealistic thing.

He changed into a dark blue robe again, his figure was as serene as the spring water in the deep mountains. Pei Si Yan again couldn't help but wonder if his wardrobe was a sliver of the same clothes, as if the protagonists in comic books didn't change other styles of clothes for ten thousand years.

"Miss," Li Qingyan saw Pei Si Yan walking over and bowed respectfully before saying, "My subordinate heard that just now, Lady Yue Luo insisted on seeing miss?"

"Well," Pei Si Yan nodded, "Where did you go?"

He said, "My subordinate had important matters to deal with and did not inform Miss ..."

Pei Si Yan knew that he was going to say something about 'chastisement' again and quickly waved her hand, "It's okay, let's talk about the important things first. I feel that staying in the Write Autumn Xuan and not going out is not a solution, it will only increase the suspicion of the clansmen."

She has figured out that it's not a solution to keep escaping, anyway, sooner or later, she will have to face that group of people, instead of trembling and looking forward to the future, she should face it now, and settle the problems that should be solved, and if she can't settle them, she will leave them to Li Qingdan to take care of it, so that the more she procrastinates, the more people's suspicion will increase, and the more unfavourable it will be for herself.

Li Qingye's eyes flashed some kind of subtle light, he still stood outside the threshold and opened his mouth to say, "Miss is right, it's my subordinate who didn't think it through to make things difficult for Miss."

Pei Si Yan cried and laughed, how did this guy blame himself for things again, "If I had been asked to go out a few days ago, I would have been dead set against it, after all, the situation is slightly different now, we should also make other plans. I think having Yun Qi Yun Shan accompanying me for a casual walk around the mansion won't lead to any major trouble, it's better than people finding their way to the door."

"Yes, miss. But please be careful with everything, miss." Li Qingyan answered.

Pei Siyan was surprised at his bland over-the-top response, but didn't bother to ask more.

"Well, I have my own measure." Pei Si Yan walked towards the door, brushing past him and looking openly outside the courtyard gate, the white veil still well wrapped around the pillar.

With a silent sigh, she turned back and said, "Tell you what, I'll take a nap first, then Yun Qi Yun Shan will accompany me to the garden to get some air."

Having come to this grand mansion for more than half a month, apart from the Write Autumn Xuan and the main hall she hadn't been anywhere yet, having only seen a simple floor plan schematic in a booklet, she was really filled with too much curiosity about this place.

"Then subordinate will not disturb miss." Li Qingyan slightly bowed his head, took a few steps back and hurriedly left.

Yun Shan pointed in the direction of the cabinet and asked, "Miss, what about the clothes?"

Pei Si Yan deliberately let out a long yawn and rubbed her eyes again, "Pack it up later, I'm sleepy as hell. You guys go out too."

Yun Qi pulled Yun Shan to go out as well, the moment the door gently closed, someone with a weak heart "huffed" and pressed his ear against the door to listen to the footsteps drifting away. After determining that they had left, Pei Si Yan rushed back to the cabinet, carefully and cautiously turned out the bloody clothes.

The blood stains had long since dried up, condensing hard on the silk fabric. A light set of clothes, Pei Si Yan held it in her hand as if it weighed a thousand pounds.

She walked around the room, tapping the walls with her knuckles, lifting a corner of the carpet to take a look, and picking up the antiques on the shelves to fiddle with them for a moment or two, searching for the legendary secret compartment. According to reason, Tantai family must exist secret compartments these things, but she searched and searched, not a trace.

Pei Si Yan looked at the clothes in her hands and was so anxious that she really wanted to hit the wall. Yunqi will clean the house inside and out every day to achieve a spotless effect, if she casually stuffed it somewhere, they will definitely still be able to turn it out for me.

Pei Si Yan was anxious as if she was an ant on a hot pan, stomping back and forth in the bedroom without stopping.

Pei Si Yan walked back to the cabinet, looking at the neatly arranged clothes, want to pick up to see what kind of style and afraid of messing up not good to clean up, can only give up.

"There!" Pei Si Yan looked at the penultimate layer of black clothes, surprise shouted, turned back to the bloody clothes spread out on the **, carefully folded into a square piece, and then took out a see the same colour of the clothes will be bloody clothes clip in and put it back to the original place.

Anyway, it is all about throwing away the clothes, Yun Qi should not look carefully, as long as the clothes out of the door of the house, even if they are found can also use a variety of reasons to put off. If Yun Qi found the blood on the clothes while finishing ...

Pei Siyan scratched the back of her head, such annoying things are better to consider in the future, there are enough annoying things today.

Eyelids seem to be hung like a jackhammer heavy, Pei Si Yan flopped to **, holding the quilt rolled a few times, sleep.

After she woke up from a nightmare where she was chased and bitten by a big monster, Pei Si Yan patted her heart that was still beating abnormally, and felt that she needed to go to the garden to get some air even more.

She called out, Yun Qi and Yun Shan immediately pushed the door in, they helped Pei Si Yan comb her hair and favoured her with a new set of mourning clothes, then the group of three advanced towards the garden.

Again scurrying between the buildings and courtyards, Pei Si Yan saw many underlings cleaning the house, bumped into a few clansmen on the way, greeted them politely, and finally came to the garden of her dreams.

Pei Si Yan has always been obsessed with classical gardens, before the boredom of staying at home will take the time to go to the city's various gardens to stroll around, or hide in a remote pavilion to read a book, tease the carp in the pool or something else, those green grass and trees, paths leading to the quiet place as well as the rockery can be very good to soothe the mood.

Tantai mansion garden is entered from a round hole door, above the door is inlaid with dark green "shallow blue garden" three words, the font is beautiful and strong. Pei Si Yan read in a booklet that Shallow Bi was the first Wu Pan's wife, the two loved their family, hand in hand through all the difficulties before and after the founding of the country, did not want to Lady Shallow Bi died after the founding of the country due to illness, Wu Pan used the name of the wife of this garden named in honour of her.

Into the round hole door, the scenery roughly visible, near the flowers and trees, distant pavilions and rockery patchwork, the sound of running water murmuring like a "high mountains and flowing water", mixed with chirping birds, fresh breeze through the forest, poetry and painting interest, far-reaching, as if stepping into the fairyland in general.

Pei Si Yan couldn't help but exclaim, "It's so beautiful!"

"Miss, this way." Yun Qi said, extending her hand towards the path on the right.

Pei Si Yan nodded, feeling that Yun Qi looked like an ancient version of a tour guide. The path was paved with lapis lazuli bricks, and the centre of the path was also made up of many auspicious patterns with stones of various colours, including pomegranates, bats, peaches and so on, which represented the meaning of wealth and good fortune.

Further on, under the cover of lush trees on the right hand side, there was a building with a single-eaved hermetic roof and a three-room face, the door of which was open, and on the face of which was a huge screen embroidered with a picture of a pine, cypress and cranes.

"This is Lanxue Hall," Yun Qi said in a low voice, as if she was afraid of giving others the chance to hear, "Usually it is used as a place to set up a drinking session with friends, in the past, the master especially liked to play chess with the young lady here, saying that it is a quiet and tranquil place that can calm the mind."

Pei Si Yan blinked her eyes, the Humble Administrator's Garden does not also have a Lanxue Hall? Although she hadn't been there but had seen photos before, it seemed to be unusually similar to the Tantai family's Lanxue Hall, dare she say that this was also a cross over?

She really wanted to give a thumbs up to Lan Xue Tang, travelling through this thing wasn't normally magical!

Continuing to walk forward, the field of vision opened up a lot, Pei Si Yan saw a plane like a vase shaped pool, the surface of the water was as clear as a mirror, the reflection was clearly visible. Pool on a stone bridge close to the surface of the water to communicate between the two sides of the pool, the pool on the side of the pavilion water pavilion echo, refute to jagged stone, green willow hanging lake. Because it is summer, the lotus leaves in the pool, pink lotus flowers compete to open, the wind sends a burst of fragrance, refreshing.

Pei Si Yan was about to follow Yun Qi to the next place, when she suddenly heard singing in the garden, the voice was clear and melodious, ethereal like the spring breeze:

"The crane sounds in the Nine Gaos, the sound is heard in the wild.

The fish are in the deep, or in the islet.

I am happy in my garden, and I have a sandalwood tree.

I've got a tree, a sandalwood tree, and a tree underneath it.

A stone from another mountain can be a mistake.

The cranes are singing in the Nine Gaos, and their voices are heard in the sky.

The fish are in the islet, or in the deep.

I'm happy to have a tree in my garden.

I have a tree and a valley below it.

The stone of its mountain can attack jade."

Pei Siyan can't help but curiously search for the sound to look, see the pool side scattered a few pieces of lake rock sitting on a white boy, about fourteen or fifteen years old, eyebrows like a picture, nose bridge is quite beautiful, face clean and pure as the moon in autumn, bright sunlight in his white clothes flow, the light shines, so that after a glance one will not be able to move away from the eyes.

"Beautiful boy!" Pei Siyan roared a low sentence, a hot blood boiling in his body.

Yun Qi didn't hear clearly and asked, "Miss, what did you say?"

Pei Si Yan hurriedly changed her words, "I'm asking who that teenager is?" She didn't remember seeing his portrait on the roster.

"This is the fifth house's Qiyun Sun young master, his father is the Xun grand young master, calling miss an 'aunt'." Yun Qi said.

Auntie ... over child, where are you?

Pei Siyan almost a mouthful of blood is about to spray out, she is only twenty two years old ... although the identity she is now posing as is only twenty years old, surprisingly all are other people's aunts, but also such a wonderful teenager's elders, call her how can she be embarrassed na.

Which elder molests his own nephew?

Pei Si Yan rubbed her face, her face is not really thick skin, but it's rare to meet a beautiful teenager here, if she doesn't say a word, she will probably regret hitting the wall and die.

Pei Si Yan said, "Let's go over and say a few words." She felt that her heart was beating more abnormally than when she was having nightmares, her face started to burn slightly and she covered her face, hoping that no blush would come.

The young man seemed to have heard the footsteps and turned his head to look at Pei Si Yan and the girls, then stood up, an elegant smile surfacing at the corners of his lips as he owed his body and called out, "Aunt Yan."

Pei Si Yan revealed a million gentle smiles, "Qiyun." Looking closely, she really wanted to pound the table and laugh, Qiyun was really beautiful, her inner colour that grey wolf mode automatically turned on, she couldn't wait to pounce on him and hug him.

Pei Si Yan covered her mouth and coughed a few times, reminding herself to be reserved.

"Auntie not feeling well?" Qiyun asked with a gentle and watery voice.

"No, no," Pei Si Yan waved his hand like shaking a fan, "The body has almost recovered."

He added, "Auntie used to come to talk to Qiyun from time to time, but lately they don't come, even write autumn Xuan are not allowed to enter, Qiyun heart is very uneasy. Today, looking at auntie's rosy colour, its yum is relieved."

Good for you! Since Tantai Yan had a good relationship with his yun, she didn't have to worry about what excuse to use to find him in the future.

Pei Si Yan was contemplating what to say next when suddenly the quiet garden resounded with the sound of chaotic footsteps, startling the birds in the forest into flying into the clouds, breaking the poetic mood.

She turned around to look, only to see a group of people walking intently towards this place, and many of them were holding in their hands - brightly shining swords and knives!
