The identity of the child's father seems unusual

The Patriarch of the Yi family of the previous generation had a cold personality, had no real affection for his wife and children, and did not marry a regular wife. All his concubines were placed in Xiheyuan.

With the scale of the Yi family's mansion, if it were another family, those concubines might be able to live in one courtyard per person.But the Patriarch of the previous generation really didn't feel pity at all. Although the Xihe Courtyard is also very large, even if there are ten or eight households, it can still live there, but he doesn't seem to have thought of this at all.

In terms of ruthlessness and lack of righteousness, I am afraid that no one can win this one.

The servants all know that no one will come to live in this Xihe courtyard now.

But in all fairness, the environment of Xiheyuan is particularly good.It seemed that Jing Zhaoqiu didn't come here for the stolen things, so he first asked where Yi Zhiyu's room was, not which room was stolen.

The servants were not without winks, and they could tell that the master really didn't care about what he lost.That servant was originally serving Yi Zhiyu in Xiheyuan, so he was promoted along the way, and now his status in Yi's family is quite high.

There is also a distinction between high status and low status among servants.Those who have been trusted by the master for a long time are considered to have status among servants.

Right now this one is an old senior, and he is very proud of this.Thinking back, the third master was the least favored among the young masters. It was because of his good vision that he followed the third master faithfully at that time.

This servant often pretends to be a confidant in order to teach other low-status maids and servants in the mansion.Jing Zhaoqiu saw it by accident, but didn't say anything. He didn't need to get involved in the things that happened in the servants.

Although he didn't come here for a few days, the servant still led Jing Zhaoqiu to Yi Zhiyu's original room in a familiar manner.The servant is a talkative person, chatting with Jing Zhaoqiu while walking, basically talking about the things he was with Yi Zhiyu back then.

Jing Zhaoqiu didn't interrupt him, he was indeed interested in hearing these things.The servants saw that Jing Zhaoqiu was happy to hear it, and spoke more passionately, racking their brains all the way to search for some things from that year.No matter how big or small, Jing Zhaoqiu always loves to listen. As expected, he has been with him for many years, but this servant can see clearly in his heart. It is more useful to please the master than to please the master.And there is no need to step on the line when talking about topics, and there is no need to worry about saying things that should not be said about Yi Zhiyu. People share the same bed here, but there is nothing to hide.

With that said, the room arrived.Entering from the main entrance of Xiheyuan, it took about a quarter of an hour to walk. With the speed of the two of them, this room is considered very far away.Moreover, after Jing Zhaoqiu observed the layout of Xihe courtyard for a while, he could see that Yi Zhiyu's room was very remote in Xihe courtyard. They walked through several long corridors and turned a few side rooms before they saw a row of back rooms. The military hood room, the location is not very good, and it is shady.

He guessed right away that Yi Zhiyu's situation back then was really not good.Others, although almost no father, at least have a mother, but Yi Zhiyu never had one.Therefore, even the place to live was casually dismissed and settled in the back room, the main room of the West Harmony Courtyard, Jing Zhaoqiu thought it was not bad when he passed by just now.

The servant deserved to be the one who could follow Yi Zhiyu up from Weimo. At this moment, Jing Zhaoqiu's face was not very good-looking, and he immediately understood that it was because Lord Hou was dissatisfied with the original residence of the third master.

He hurriedly explained to Jing Zhaoqiu: "The third master lived here at first, and later the old lady wanted to change the place to live after raising the third master, but the third master did not agree. The third master said that he liked it very much."

Well, since Yi Zhiyu likes it, there's nothing else to say.Of course, Jing Zhaoqiu was still dissatisfied, the more he got to know him, the more dissatisfied he was with the previous Patriarch, he was really an irresponsible father.

As he said that, the servant actively went to push the door open, intentionally standing in front of him.

"Master Hou, step back a bit, the dust is a bit big."

Although someone would come to clean it from time to time, it was an uninhabited room after all, and the dust would accumulate within a few days. As soon as the door was opened, Jing Zhaoqiu could smell the unique smell of an unoccupied room for a long time.

Whether it's musty or simply dusty, it doesn't smell good anyway.The light in the room was mediocre, so the servants started to light the candles on the table, and opened all the windows, not only for the purpose of brightening the room, but also for ventilation.

The light brightened, and finally Jing Zhaoqiu could see the room clearly.Although it is definitely not as good as Yi Zhiyu's current residence, it is enough to compare with ordinary people.The whole room is divided into two, with a partition as the boundary, one side is the study room, and the other side is the bedroom.The furnishings inside are very simple, tables, chairs, benches, bookshelves are full of books, Jing Zhaoqiu took out a few books and flipped through them, it was quite miscellaneous.From the Four Books and Five Classics to the novels, they have been dabbled in.

The brushes, ink, paper and inkstones on the table were neatly arranged, and there were a few calligraphy and paintings inserted in the bamboo tube in the upper right corner. Jing Zhaoqiu took out one and opened it, and at a glance, he knew it was Yi Zhiyu's handwriting.

On the same day, Dapeng rose from the wind and lifted up to 90,000 miles.

Jing Zhaoqiu carefully stroked the strokes on it, the words were obviously written a long time ago, and even the paper was a little yellowish, making it look brittle.This is a word written many years ago, and of course the overall trend is not much different from the current one, but there is a slight difference in momentum.

Today's writing is even more presumptuous, but in those days, I couldn't see this, it seemed to be dormant.

The servant interrupted again, sparing no effort in flattering.

"The third master's handwriting has always been good, and his homework back then was also excellent among the young masters."

Jing Zhaoqiu smiled, said nothing, rolled up the words and put them back into the tube.

After looking at the study, he went to the bedroom inside. Obviously, the bedroom also inherited the simple style of the study. There were not many things, and the wood was not very good.A beech bed and a four-piece cabinet with square corners, a small cabinet at the head of the bed, and a table at the side, it looks really poor.

However, with Yi Zhiyu's temperament, he didn't really care about these things.Overall, Yi Zhiyu's material pursuits are not too strong.

Jing Zhaoqiu sat down on the bed very bored, rightly feeling that Yi Zhiyu's bed was not firm.The servant moved very quickly, seeing what Jing Zhaoqiu was going to do, he quickly wiped it with a towel, and respectfully asked Jing Zhaoqiu to sit down.

Sit down and find something different.

With sharp eyes, Jing Zhaoqiu noticed that on the carved armrest at the head of the bed, there was a small figure carved by himself with a knife. Looking at the carver, it was really rubbish. Jing Zhaoqiu took a long time to identify it before realizing that it was a cat.Following the cat, Jing Zhaoqiu, searched carefully again, and found that the places where there could be carvings on the bed were all carved with small gadgets.

There are no words, they are all cats and puppies, and some of them are well carved. Judging from the traces, the age is a little later, and some can't bear to look directly. It seems to be very early, probably like a little kid scribbling. .

Jing Zhaoqiu unconsciously revealed a smile.

There are big discoveries on this trip.Unexpectedly, when this guy in their family still had such a childlike interest, he would be able to laugh at him when he went back.
