Chapter 153 Go to My Yard
In fact, even if Liu Yu didn't say it, Zhang Mengdie knew that it was not appropriate to repair the sweet white glaze porcelain vase here. If some girl accidentally broke the bottle, it would be a big disaster.
After pondering for a long time, Zhang Mengdie had to take back what he had said before and personally demonstrated what it meant to be slapped in the face.
She was not very natural and said awkwardly: "Let's go to my yard!"
Liu Yu's smile grew brighter: "Yes."
Zhang Mengdie only felt that this smile was very dazzling, but she said it herself, and she overturned it herself, so what could she do? She just didn't look at Liu Yu, so that she could still feel that her face was still there.
She ordered the maid to pack Liu Yu's things, and took Liu Yu and the others to her own yard, trying to avoid people.
After telling Liu Yu not to run around, she went to her grandfather's yard in person to get the sweet white glaze porcelain vase.
Just after Zhang Mengdie stepped out of the yard, Liu Yu squinted her eyes and looked at the pine and cypress tree at the corner. She walked straight over, and her eyes seemed to be able to see through the wall and see the corner outside.
The maids busy in the yard saw it all, but Zhang Lianci's caution at this moment actually helped Liu Yu a lot. None of these maids knew that there was a mystery hidden under the tree.
Right under the eyes of the maids and servants, she walked to the pine and cypress trees, drew a circle on the wall with her finger, and said in a voice that only she and Grandma Kui could hear: "You only have a quarter of an hour, is that okay?"
Before coming to Zhang's house, she had studied the layout of the mansion's backyard. It took less than fifteen minutes to go back and forth from Zhang Mengdie's yard to where Zhang Lianci lived.
In order to prevent accidents or arrival of people on the way, the time can only be controlled within a quarter of an hour.
Looking at Granny Aoi's back as she walked out,
Liu Yu returned to the yard. As expected of an orchid lover, the yard was filled with orchids of different varieties. It was truly a spectacular sight. She had never seen so many precious varieties in the palace before. Although this mansion looked simple and plain, it was well-known by many people. Compared with the superficial luxury of the Feng Mansion, it was more but not as good.
Among those orchids, she successfully found the Phalaenopsis orchid with short stems wrapped in leaf sheaths. It was indeed a good flower. Compared with orchids, she preferred to grow vegetables and chrysanthemums, which were easier to grow. However, she remembered that the eldest lady liked orchids, so she took it back to give to Wu.
She pointed at the plate of flowers and immediately told Guyu behind her: "Pack up that plate of Phalaenopsis for me."
"Yes." After receiving the order, Guyu immediately stepped into the area where the precious orchids were grown.
This action successfully attracted the attention of everyone in the yard, leaving them no time to think about why there was one less person beside Liu Yu.
Everyone was horrified, and someone immediately shouted, "Girl, you can't do that..."
How could the maid just go in like that? They usually change their clothes.
And seeing her jumping around like that, if she accidentally stepped on any variety of orchid, their lives would be in danger.
"Come out quickly, come out quickly." Everyone rushed over as fast as they could, but they didn't dare to get too close. The maids who served Lanhua even cried, "What should we do?"
To be honest, seeing those 13 or 14-year-old girls crying, Liu Yu felt guilty, but compared to covering up the whereabouts of Grandma Kui, he felt guilty! Fortunately, he had done a lot of things that made him feel guilty in his two lives, and this one was not the only one.
So, at Liu Yi's signal, Guyu didn't bring out the plate of Phalaenopsis right away. She seemed to have found something better and pointed to the ghost orchid next to the Phalaenopsis, "Madam, this plate seems to be better looking! Should we take this plate?" Her eyes swept across the entire orchid area and landed on the black orchid that was blooming not far away. She turned to Liu Yu and said excitedly, "Madam, this plate of red flowers is more suitable for our yard."
Guyu's series of actions made the servants in Zhang Mengdie's yard feel so nervous that they kept telling Guyu to be careful with his step.
Liu Yu smiled slightly and gave Guyu a satisfied look.
A quarter of an hour passed in a flash, until I saw Granny Kui's steady figure reappear at the door.
Liu Yu said appropriately: "Guyu, don't mess around. We agreed on Phalaenopsis, so it's Phalaenopsis. Bring out the flowers!"
The servants didn't dare to make a sound. As long as they could get someone to come out and take away one plate, it would be better than destroying all the orchids.
Moreover, listening to the conversation between the master and servant, it seemed that they had made an agreement with the girl.
Without any resistance, Guyu successfully moved the Phalaenopsis out and followed Liu Yu to the main hall.
Zhang Mengdie came back faster than Liu Yu expected. Almost at the moment they stepped into the main hall, Zhang Mengdie came back holding a sweet white glaze porcelain vase.
Liu Yu was attracted by the porcelain bottle in Zhang Mengdie's hand at first sight.
What kind of porcelain bottle was that? The bottle was not big, only the size of a wine jug, or rather, it was a wine bottle itself. The whole body was as white and translucent as mutton-fat jade, without any impurities. It did not look like something that could come out of the mortal world. Even though Liu Yu had lived two lives, he had never seen a better sweet white glaze porcelain bottle than this one. No wonder Zhang Lianci, who was used to seeing good things, would go looking for someone every now and then to repair this bottle.
But the only pity is that there is a crack as long as a little finger at the mouth of the bottle, which seems to destroy the beauty.
Zhang Mengdie carefully placed the bottle on the table and asked Liu Yu nervously, "Can this crack be repaired?"
Liu Yu picked up the bottle and looked at the crack carefully. From the shape, it looked like it was caused by being hit by something.
"It can be repaired, but it will take a long time."
"How long will it take?" Zhang Mengdie frowned tightly. The sweet white glaze porcelain vase was originally stolen. If her grandfather came back and found it, it would be terrible.
She gave an approximate time required: "At least three hours."
It would take less than two hours to repair the two blue and white porcelain vases, but Liu Yu now reported that it would take three hours. This shows that this thing is much more difficult to repair.
Zhang Mengdie calculated that three hours later, it would be the time for her grandfather to return home from court.
"Okay, then we have to repair it within three hours, otherwise when my grandfather comes back, neither you nor I will be in trouble." Zhang Mengdie reminded Liu Yu.
Liu Yu nodded. She didn't want to meet Zhang Lianci even more than Zhang Mengdie. If what she had done was discovered, she would probably not even survive.
She sat down in the seat prepared by the servants. The table was covered with tools. She began to carefully repair the sweet white glaze porcelain vase with her nimble hands.
Zhang Mengdie was waiting at the table, closely watching Liu Yu's every move, fearing that she would accidentally damage the bottle again so that she could immediately rescue her.
