Han Yunqian looked at Han you. Although he didn't speak, his quiet and gentle eyes gradually calmed Han you.

Ren Yao period pretended to not notice Han you's dissimilarity, only looking at the red lacquer wooden door without any carving.

"I heard it used to be a study?" Ren Yao asked at will.

"The original owner of the house built this little study here. When we moved in, we found that the shelves inside were damp and termites were growing. Because of fear of putting books here, it will be bad and bad, so I will abandon it here and don't use it. " Han Yunqian nodded, flat and tunnel.

At this time, the red lacquer wooden door "squeak" a sound, the fan from inside came out, followed by her behind the small figure of rickets.

Ren Yao period fixed the finishing point, found that is a little older mother-in-law. The old lady looked at at least sixty years old. Seeing the master son standing outside, he came to salute, and there was a bit of delay between the actions.

"My dear, the dumb woman said she was Cleaning the hall, so no one was seen. The maid looked around, and found no miss Ren Fan son came to Han Yunqian and returned to the road.

The dumb woman should not be deaf, she quickly compared a few words with her hand after hearing the fan'er.

Although the dumb woman is standing on her back, Ren Yao period still noticed several actions. When the last generation lived in Beijing, Pei family had a cook who was deaf and dumb, although he was very good at cooking. Ren Yao period had contact with her, so she could guess some of the gestures.

Dumb woman seems to mention that she was burning incense before?

Ren Yao period can not help but move in the heart.

She thought that the yard had hidden a person who had something to do with the secrets of the Han family. Because she was afraid of the secret, she only found a dumb woman who could not speak to serve her, and would send food to it every day.

But dumb woman seems to not mention anyone, but to burning incense.

Where do you need to burn incense? temple? ancestral hall?

Ren Yao felt that the truth seemed to be getting closer and closer, but she couldn't catch her head for a while.

If the person she just saw was Ren Yaoting, he was still in the yard and avoided fans and dumb women.

Han Yunqian was very gentle about the dumb woman, and she also made a few words with gestures. It seems to be a comfort to her.

At this time, a strange mother-in-law rushed out: "young master, miss, the old lady came here."

Han you noticed the yard consciously and his face was tense again.

Han Yunqian bowed his head and said to her, "we'll meet my grandfather." Then she said to the dumb woman, "there's nothing wrong here. Go ahead."

Fan er said, "young master, I'd like to continue to find Miss Ren Qi. The garden said that it was not small, and that it was not small. If Miss seven had lost her way, it would be bad. "

Han Yunqian nodded slightly, and said nothing.

The dumb woman bowed down, fan son hurriedly chase up, whispered in her ear said a few words. The dumb woman nodded and entered the yard, and the fan didn't follow in.

The red lacquer wooden door was closed again, and Ren Yao period also heard the sound of the key falling.

"Sister Yao, you can go with us." Han you busy to Ren Yao period road, she seems to be afraid of what, do not want to let Ren Yao period stay here.

Ren Yao nodded and followed Han Yunqian with Han you.

Han you still whispered: "where is sister Ting going? How can't I find it? "

Ren Yao period looked back and found fan er said he was going to find Ren Yaoting, but he didn't walk far away, only wandering around the door.

Ren Yao period can not help but worry about how Ren Yao Pavilion will come out. If the door comes out, the sound of pulling the gate will not disturb the old dumb woman, even if it is blocked in the door, the fan will catch a positive. Besides, dumb woman enters the yard, and she may look up the yard all over the place.

A few people did not go far, and heard the footsteps of God hurried to this side.

In a short time, Han Dongshan appeared at the corner.

Ren Yao period looked up, but he was surprised.

At this time, the steps of Han Dongshan were in a hurry, and the eyebrows were full of cool colors, which was quite different from the bright and kind elder seen in the garden of Ren Yao period last time. It is unbelievable that the same person will have such two faces.

Is this kind of Han Dongshan his nature? And so Han Yunqian and Han you, as their grandchildren, would be so afraid of him?

Ren Yao consciously left his head and pretended to look at the surroundings.

Until Han Yunqian and Han Dongshan called out a grandfather, Ren Yao period did not turn around with a sense of knowledge.

Once again, he looked at Han Dongshan, although his face was still a little stiff, but the sudden cold look had converged.

"Lord Han." Ren Yao bowed his head and bowed his knees to salute.

Han Dongshan changed his face quickly. He was already a warm and loving woman when he spoke: "Oh, you are the daughter of any family?"

Ren Yao period low voice to answer a yes.Han Dongshan's eyes stay on Ren Yaoqi for a moment, and then look at Han Yunqian and Han you. There is a flash in his eyes.

Han Yunqian bowed his head and stood obediently, but Han you couldn't help shivering.

"You go to the pavilion with Miss Ren Wu first." Although Han Yunqian didn't look at Han you, he seemed to know that she was afraid of her grandfather and quietly rescued her.

Han you looks up at Han Dongshan. It may be because he is worried about Ren Yaoqi's presence. Han Dongshan nods to let Han you step down.

Han you breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and some worried to see his brother, some hesitant.

Han Yunqian gave her a gentle smile: "go ahead and treat the guests well."

Han you just bowed his head and pulled Ren Yaoqi to leave.

As soon as Ren Yaoqi and Han you left, Han Dongshan's face immediately became cold again. Without saying a word, he left Han Yunqian and continued to move forward.

Han Yunqian bowed his head and followed.

Han Dong mountain path straight came to the courtyard gate, the fan er who was guarding the side saw that Han Dongshan was coming, and ran to salute.

"Have you found anyone?" Han Dongshan asked in a low voice.

Fan Er shook his head and said nervously, "maybe I didn't go in, but I went somewhere else. The dumb woman has locked the door

Han Dongshan raised his hand and knocked on the red lacquer wooden door. After a while, the door was opened again. The dumb woman stretched out her head and saw that it was Han Dongshan and Han Yunqian, who had gone and returned. He opened the door a little and retreated to one side.

Han Dongshan stepped in. Han Yunqian also followed.

When the gate of the courtyard was closed again, Han Dongshan glanced at Han Yunqian coldly. "Who allowed you to bring people in?"

Han Yunqian bowed his head and said, "it's a guest to enter the door. You can't even keep the garden away from guests."

Han Yunqian looked at the dumb woman again, "dumb woman has been guarding here, and no one has come in. That room is locked from the outside again, even if someone breaks in by mistake, he can't get in. "

Hearing this, the dumb woman looked up as if she wanted to draw something, but a pair of Han Yunqian's gentle and gentle eyes put down her slightly raised hand again.

Han Dongshan's face finally looked better, but he said coldly: "so she also picked up a life!"

His voice was cold and cruel, which made people feel scared.

"Open the door. Come in with me Han Dongshan motioned to the dumb mother.

What he said was not to open the courtyard door, but the main room behind the courtyard.

The dumb woman took out a copper key from her waist and walked in front of the Han family's grandparents and grandchildren and went back to the courtyard.

When the three figures disappeared in the front yard, a careful head suddenly appeared from behind a pillar base under the eaves of the North chamber of the vestibule.

As soon as you enter the door, you can see that the pillar base is under people's eyes, and it is not very large. Therefore, the dumb woman could not help but neglect this place when looking for people in the yard.

And the person who sticks out his head is not Ren Yaoting. Who else can there be? Fortunately, she was thin enough to hide, otherwise she would be caught.

Ren Yaoting seemed to know that he had made a mistake. His face was pale and anxious. She looked in the direction of the gate. Before, she heard the sound of the gate falling, and knew that even if she ran to the backyard while people were going, she might disturb the people inside. And she didn't know if there was anyone at the door. She had just heard a woman talking.

Now she regretted that she had cheated Han you into sneaking in because of her curiosity. Just now, master Han's words made her shiver, although she didn't understand why han Yunqian, a gentle and elegant gentleman, would have such a grumpy grandfather.

At this time, although Ren Yaoting realized that he had made a disaster, he did not think that his own disaster was fatal. So she only thinks that Han Dongshan is a grumpy person, and for the sentence he said before, "in this way, she's got a life!" The words also just think that is Han Laozi vent temper words, did not take seriously.

At this time, she was worried that she would leave a bad impression on her elders than worry about her life.

Over there, Ren Yaoqi followed Han you for a while, but Han you suddenly stopped, touched his wrist and exclaimed, "eh? My bracelet is missing? "

She raised her sleeve, and sure enough, her right wrist was empty.

"What can I do? This bracelet was given to me by my grandmother to ward off evil spirits Han you looks anxious.

The servant girl beside her was also startled: "Miss, how can your bracelet disappear? If it falls to the ground, there should be a sound. "

Han you frowned and thought, "that bracelet was a little bigger and easy to fall off. Should be before I and pavilion elder sister in Pigeon Flower tree there when carelessly by what branch leaves hang down. The grass is thick there, and even if the bracelet falls to the ground, there is no sound. "

Then Han you said to her servant girl, "go there and look for me. Aunt Xiao said that my luck is not good this year. My grandmother gave me this jade bracelet that she had worn before and let the eminent monk open it. If you lose it, you will fail your grandmotherSeveral servant girls behind Han you are busy responding to the voice. Seeing that old lady Han's servant girl named qin'er is still standing there, Han you anxiously says, "elder sister qin'er, go and help me find it. They are all clumsy

You don't have to wait on you, miss He also looked at Ren Yao.

"In front of me is the pavilion, where are the ladies and maids. I'm too short to be served? You go and find it for me. By the way, see if I'm in the rockery. I stayed there when I was looking for sister ting. "

Qin'er looked at the pavilion not far away, thinking that old master Han must have gone to the yard, and that the young lady would not deliberately violate the old master's taboo and go there again, she nodded and said, "I'll go to find it now, miss. Don't worry, there will be no running."

Han you nodded: "go quickly."

Qin'er goes to the East fork.

As soon as they left, Han you held Ren Yaoqi's hand with a dignified look on his face: "sister Yao, follow me."

"Sister you?" Ren Yaoqi looks at Han you in surprise.

Han you, regardless of Ren Yaoqi's disagreement, pulls her to turn around and walk back. She explains in a low voice: "I'm deliberately supporting them, sister Ting..." After a pause, she turned her head and took a look at the apple behind Ren Yaoqi and looked at Ren Yaoqi in an inquisitive way.

Ren Yao period smile way: "no harm, she won't say out."

Han you sighed: "there are people around you that you can trust. If I do something, people around you will tell my grandparents. Even my brother... " At this point, she was surprised that she had made a slip of the tongue again, and quickly stopped the conversation.

Ren Yaoqi pondered her words in her heart. Han you means that she and Han Yunqian have no confidants? Are the people who serve them loyal to Mr. Han and Mrs. Han?

Han you's voice was more and more subdued: "listen to me, sister Yao Qi. Sister Ting must have run quietly to the yard just now. But my grandfather has gone too. She can't come out if she wants to come out now. If my grandfather knew about it, the consequences would be disastrous. We must bring her out before she is found out. "

Han you's face is grim.

Ren Yaoqi also whispered with her: "why was it found that the consequences would be unimaginable? Isn't it just an abandoned study? "

Han you shook his head: "you don't understand, my grandfather He doesn't allow people into that yard. Only my grandfather, grandmother, father and brother were allowed in, and my mother and I were not allowed. If a trusted servant girl enters, she can only wait in the courtyard where she first enters. Only the dumb woman who guards the yard can walk around in it. When I first moved here, I once went in because of curiosity. My grandfather came in and I hid behind a pillar base. However, the maid ling'er I brought from Jizhou was discovered by my grandfather. Later Later, my brother came in and quietly took me out, but ling'er was beaten and sold because of his grandfather's taboo. "

Han you's eyes are a little dim: "ling'er has served me since I was a child, and she is the only one to me."

Even Han you, the Han family, doesn't know about the yard? Ren Yaoqi was surprised.

"Sister Ting asked me about the yard just now, and I told her about it. She also said she wanted me to take her in. I said I didn't dare, and she didn't say anything. But now she can't be found in the garden. I think she must have sneaked into the yard by herself. "

Ren Yaoqi doubts: "since she can't come out, how can we go in and find her? The servant girl called fan'er seems to be guarding the door all the time, and the door may be closed. "

Han you smell speech but blinked: "you come with me, I have a way to sneak people out."

Although Ren Yaoqi is a little skeptical, her curiosity about the secrets of the Han family makes her continue to follow Han you.

Fan'er is still guarding at the gate of the yard. Han you to Ren Yao period way: "can let your servant girl wait here?"

Ren Yaoqi thought for a while, nodded and ordered Apple: "you wait here. If someone asks you, you say you are here to help Miss Han find the bracelet."

The apple whispered.

Han you led Ren Yaoqi into a fork in the garden.

When she came out again, Ren Yaoqi found that Han you took her around the fan'er and finally stopped in front of a courtyard wall.

Ren Yaoqi looked around carefully and found that this should be the side wall of the mysterious courtyard.

Han you also led Ren Yaoqi through the narrow corridor, looking down at the wall tiles while walking. Before long, he finally stopped: "here it is."

She took Ren Yaoqi's hand down and squatted down to knock on the wall brick.

Ren Yaoqi stood on one side and looked at it curiously. Han you found out a big green brick, and did not know how she acted. The big green brick was pushed by her and moved half an inch inside, revealing a wire. Han you pulled the wire and pulled it out again. Ren Yaoqi knew that the brick could be moved, so he squatted down to help Han you.

They pull the brick out together, and Han you moves to the next one. After the first brick comes out, the next one is much easier. After removing four bricks in a row, Han you points down to let Ren Yaoqi see.It turned out that there was another hole, and the soil under it was hollowed out. It could hold a person, just like a dog hole.

Ren Yaoqi was surprised.

Han you explained in a low voice: "the original owner of this house had a little son who was very naughty. He built this study in the garden and confined people to study here. Don't want that little son is also a bit clever, so he dug this hole secretly and sneaked out from time to time. I didn't know the secret until I found a note left by the man. I went in from here, too. Elder sister Yaoqi, you are here to help me watch the wind. I will go in to find someone by myself. You'd better not go in with me. It will be inconvenient if there are more people. "

Ren Yaoqi took a look at the dog hole and nodded: "be careful when you go in. Don't let people see it."

Han you takes off her blouse and gives it to Ren Yaoqi, so that when she comes out, she will put it on and others won't find her inside is dirty.

"There's a fish tank in the way from here. I'll be careful and I won't be found. My grandfather, they shouldn't be in the front yard now. "

How does Han you know that Mr. Han is not in the front yard? Ren Yao couldn't help thinking.

Han you must have known something, but he didn't say it.

However, from her willingness to risk being scolded by her grandfather to find Ren Yaoting, and to explain so much to her unfamiliar person, Han you is still very kind. (to be continued.
