Besides, at the Princess' Mansion, the painters had little contact with Yin Qingyu on weekdays, seeing that he suddenly had a brother of unknown origin and caused such a big disturbance in Shangshu's Mansion, they even looked sideways.There are also many discussions in private.

The two brothers, one is a painter and the other is a guard, they live separately, and they only see each other occasionally every day.

Putting down the pen, Yin Qingyu came to the window.The sky was gray and gray. It had already rained in the early morning, but now it was raining again.Entering September, the weather has turned cooler and the autumn rain is lingering.

Looking down, he saw Yin Fengxiang walking around the garden gate, a few feet away.

Since Yin Fengxiang was able to get up, they got along less often; thinking that he was almost killed because of himself, and was forced to stay here, he couldn't feel guilty, and said softly: "Fengxiang."

His voice was very soft, as if talking to himself, the handyman sweeping the floor a few steps away from the house didn't notice, but Yin Fengxiang over there immediately turned his head to look over, and approached this side.

Yin Qingyu didn't expect him to come here, and was a little cramped when Yin Fengxiang stopped in front of the house, "Brother looking for me?"

Yin Qingyu hesitated for a moment, and asked, "...how is your injury?"

Yin Fengxiang smiled slightly: "It's nothing serious. How about a rest, brother?"

Yin Qingyu nodded.Just as he didn't know what to say next, the rain scattered from the sky, so he said, "It's raining...let's sit inside."

Yin Fengxiang still smiled: "That's bothering you."

After entering the room and taking a seat, Yin Qingyu thought for a while, and said directly: "You are so seriously injured, you should take a good rest, I was the one who got you in trouble... I, I will definitely find a way for you to go back. The princess is a very good person, probably not To embarrass you..."

Yin Fengxiang said, "Brother, why don't you look at me?"

Yin Qingyu was slightly taken aback.

"You obviously think about me," Yin Fengxiang stared at him, "Why do you refuse to look at me when you talk to me?"

Yin Qingyu's face turned red immediately, embarrassing.Back then in Fenghua Villa, when the old owner was still there, due to the estrangement from his younger brother, he was not used to making eye contact with his younger brother; Look away quickly, never meeting his eyes.

——When he was talking just now, he did not look at Yin Fengxiang, but lowered his eyes, looking at the table in front of the two of them.

But now, he didn't have the courage to look up at Yin Fengxiang, not knowing what his expression was at the moment.

After a while, Yin Fengxiang said softly: "Thank you for caring about me, but I still remember why I came here."

There was silence in the room.Seeing that his cheeks were redder, Yin Fengxiang's heart trembled slightly, and he couldn't help but want to grab his hand on the table. At this moment, someone knocked on the door: "Mr. Qiu Yu, it's time for dinner."

The two looked back, and a little maid came in from the door.Put the food box in your hand on the table, open it, and put the meals on the same table.

Yin Fengxiang glanced at the soup and asked, "Why is this soup different from other people's?" When he passed by other courtyards, he saw two other painters eating in the shade of a tree. I have memorized the dishes, but the soup is not the one in front of me.

The little maid was a little flustered, and replied nervously: "Today the kitchen cooks stewed pigeon with astragalus, because... because Mr. Mu's nephew will come to deliver things in the future, so Mr. Mu asked the kitchen to leave an extra cup of soup for him... one less cup, the kitchen had to make up for it with lotus root and peanut soup."

Yin Fengxiang said: "Is this the rule set by the princess?"

The little maid was even more flustered, she lowered her face and shook her head.

"Did you ask brother beforehand?"

The little maid did not dare to answer a word, but still shook her head.

Yin Fengxiang smiled and said: "That's not bad, the quick-handed ones will be replaced. It seems that you have already compared yourself to a princess, and you are dispatched at will in the mansion."

The little maid suddenly turned yellow with fright, and her temples were wet with sweat.

Yin Fengxiang counted the time silently, it was just noon, and it was still far away.Seriously, he said: "Go and exchange the big brother's share. Tell them, in the future, if you want soup or rice, bowls or cans, come and ask me in person, go!"

The little maid answered "yes" in a low voice, and hurriedly withdrew.

Yin Qingyu couldn't help but said: "Actually, this is a trivial matter, why do you..." In this way, I am afraid that there will be troubles, and Yin Fengxiang would have caused gossip.

Yin Fengxiang suddenly said: "This kind of thing often happens?"

Yin Qingyu narrowed her eyes slightly.The painters in the mansion are ostracized, and there are some people who don't take the unknown young people into their eyes, but it's just trivial things on weekdays, and there's no way to talk about bullying. "Actually, it's not too much... Besides, that little girl can't help herself, so why make things difficult for her."

Yin Fengxiang took a deep look at him, and thoughtfully said: "He's right... It's a mistake to always stand by and watch in the past." Cheng Fei was right. No one can be happy.

Soon, the little maid brought the soup.

It was still raining outside.Seeing that Yin Fengxiang got up and was about to leave, Yin Qingyu said, "You don't eat until late, why don't you eat here first." The guards ate later, and the food was not as exquisite as the painter's.

Yin Fengxiang stopped and smiled: "Then I'm interrupting."

※※※

After the meal, the drizzle gradually subsided, leaving only thin threads.

Yin Fengxiang left Yin Qingyu's house, only walked about ten steps, and met two people head-on.

——Painters Mu Wentang and Liu Shangmei.

Mu Wentang is the oldest in the Princess Mansion, and he is also well-known in the capital, and everyone in the manor always respects him three points.On weekdays in the mansion, he always takes the lead in rewarding and showing his face, and he is also respected in the seating.Today, I told the kitchen casually, but I didn't worry about it at all. I didn't expect to run into a wall with Yin Fengxiang.

Liu Shangmei glanced at Yin Fengxiang and stroked his beard: "Mu Gong, look, the world is going downhill, and this younger generation doesn't even know how much he is, so he becomes rampant, and he doesn't know what respect is for the elderly and the virtuous!"

Mu Wentang snorted. "Brother Shangmei is right. People are divided into three, six, and nine classes, and the upper and lower ranks are orderly. Some rural people don't know how to keep their duties."

Liu Shangmei hurriedly said: "Don't be angry, Mr. Mu. That's just a warrior. Everyone let him go, just because he is afraid that he will make trouble." Seeing that Yin Fengxiang ignored him, he was not angry, so he deliberately raised his voice: "Yin guard, what do you say? Yes or no?"

Yin Fengxiang looked at them and smiled slightly: "What the two gentlemen said is that everyone always gives way to unruly people. The young ones are given away because they are afraid that they will make trouble, and the old ones are given away... probably because they are afraid of them. Relying on the old and selling the old, crying, making trouble, and hanged himself."

"You!" Liu Shangmei was so angry that her neck became thick, "Who do you say is relying on the old to sell the old?"

Mu Wentang's expression was also very ugly: "This is the princess mansion, you must not be rude!... You are nothing more than showing your brother an advantage, hmph, how could this old man take advantage of such a petty advantage! But it is used for a while, and it will be ten times twenty times later. How difficult is it to make up for it? You speak out loud, and you don’t even think about your own identity, so you can do it yourself!" Qiu Yu was fine, but he kept quiet, but his younger brother was very arrogant.

Yin Fengxiang said: "Of course Mr. Mu won't take advantage of this, but your old man said just now that you must keep your duty. No matter how senior or famous you two are, they are also painters in the princess's mansion just like your brother. Please be a princess. Yes, she has the final say on board and lodging; if you need to borrow temporarily, you should ask yourself, this is the etiquette. Respect the old and the virtuous, respect the honesty and kindness, and respect the virtuous and sensible, otherwise, how can you tell the difference based on age and seniority? Good and bad?"

Liu Shangmei said angrily: "You are a guilty person, why do you teach us a lesson? Don't forget, you made a big fuss in the Shangshu Mansion, injured many people, and almost hurt His Highness! We have seen this with our own eyes! If it wasn't for His Highness If you die, you are still squatting in the prison of the Ministry of Justice... how dare you act wild here?"

Yin Fengxiang said: "Yes, I am a guilty person, then please send me to the government immediately to rectify the law of the country. How about it, please."

Liu Shangmei was at a loss for words.The princess has already interceded to spare him his crimes, and let him be a bodyguard, what kind of official should he report? "you……"

"What's the noise?" A woman in a blue silk dress came over. She had a beautiful face and was still young, but she had a certain bearing when she spoke.

"...Miss Si Hua." Liu Shangmei restrained her expression and lowered her voice.The princess's two personal maids, Ning Guang and Si Hua, have won the princess's trust and reliance.

"It's nothing, we met guard Yin on the way, we talked happily and started arguing, girl, don't mind." Liu Shangmei said with a smile.

Yin Fengxiang smiled lightly: "Mr. Liu is right."

Mu Wentang still looked displeased, but nodded.

Si Hua was smart, he had already guessed a few points, and said with a smile: "It's rare for you to talk happily. The guard has just arrived, you should take care of him more."

The two agreed and left in a hurry.

Si Hua turned around and asked Yin Fengxiang with concern: "Is your injury better?"

"It's okay, thank you girl."

"His Highness said that you can rest more if you are injured, and you don't have to be on duty for too long."

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your compassion."

Si Hua said softly: "I also know that they always think highly of themselves, and they will inevitably make mistakes in their actions. But His Highness treats Mr. Qiu Yu very courteously, you can rest assured about that."

Yin Fengxiang smiled at her and thanked her again.Then the two left together.

Yin Qingyu saw everything that happened in the room, and could hear the disputed conversations even more clearly, so she couldn't help worrying secretly for Yin Fengxiang.
