Chai Yan and Yuan walked out of the side hall, asked the maid outside where Gao Yan lived, and then walked into the inner courtyard.
Because Gao Yan was tall but not intelligent, Gao Heng and his wife kept their son in their own courtyard. After all, they only had this child, and the Gao family always treated him like a baby.
As soon as the two of them arrived at the door of the inner courtyard, they heard someone crying and yelling in the courtyard. The person who vaguely heard the loudest shout was "Sister"!
This voice is easy to recognize, but the voice of an adult is childlike. It cannot be anyone else but Gao Yan.
Chai Yan looked at Yuyuan and said, "It seems that he hasn't been persuaded yet..."
Yuan Yuan nodded and walked into the inner courtyard side by side with Chai Yan.
At this time, there were several maids and servants standing in the inner courtyard. They were looking at a room helplessly.
Through the gaps in the crowd, Mrs. Gao could be seen standing at the door of the house with an anxious look on her face, her eyes always fixed on the inside of the house, and this room was the source of the crying.
Suddenly, I heard Gao Heng's voice coming from the room: "Come here, get me a stick!"
Mrs. Gao at the door was immediately frightened and said hurriedly: "Master, don't be angry! Yan'er is still young and doesn't understand anything. What's the use of hitting him?"
As soon as the words fell, Gao Yan's high-pitched cry was heard: "Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...
..”
"Still making noise? Try making noise again!" Gao Heng roared again.
Immediately afterwards, Gao Yan was heard shouting "Wow!" and Mrs. Gao rushed into the room. It was obvious that Gao Heng was beating the child.
The maids and servants in the yard all looked surprised.
I heard a maid asked in confusion: "It's Chinese New Year, what's wrong with the master? I'm usually reluctant to hit the young master, how come I can do it today?"
The boy next to him hurriedly hissed when he heard this, and then whispered: "What do you know? A great guest came to the house. The master was afraid that the young master would disturb them, so he got so angry..."
The boy wanted to continue talking, but suddenly he found that the people around him were tugging at the corners of his clothes and winking at him.
"What are you doing?" The boy didn't realize the reason.
The people around him winked back, gritted their teeth and said secretly: "Here we come..."
"Who's coming?"
The boy asked while looking back. When he saw Chai Yan and Yu Yuan standing at the entrance of the courtyard, looking over, his face turned pale with fright!
The next moment, the maids and servants in the courtyard all discovered the presence of Chai Yan and Yuan Yuan, and everyone fell silent instantly.
Especially Yuan, when these people saw her, it was like seeing a female devil. Everyone stepped back involuntarily, lowering their heads and not daring to look at them.
Chai Yan joked in a low voice: "Seeing that you have no wife, you are already notorious..."
Yuan glanced at him and asked, "Are you happy that I have a bad reputation?"
"Uh..." Chai Yan was speechless.
Before Chai Yan could think of a reply, Yuan walked towards Gao Yan's house.
When the people in the yard saw Yu Yuan approaching, they were so frightened that they quickly moved aside to give her an unobstructed passage.
"Wait for me, madam..." Chai Yan hurriedly followed.
Yuan walked outside the room and saw that the scene in the room was in chaos...
Gao Heng was angrily slapping his son from different angles.
Mrs. Gao opened her arms, trying to protect her son from being beaten by his father.
Gao Yan had been beaten until he was crying, and he could only huddle against the wall, hiding under the protection of his mother.
Gao Heng said angrily while fighting: "Noise! I'll let you make a fuss. If you're going to die soon, I'll see if you still make a fuss!"
Mrs. Gao cried out distressedly: "Master, please stop beating your son, Master..."
Gao Yan was hurt from the few beatings just now, and he was holding his head and crying even louder.
"Stop fighting!"
Gao Heng was startled by a woman's voice at the door. He turned around and saw that the people coming were Chai Yan and Yuan Yuan.
"Mr. Mu, Mrs. Mu, you...why are you here?" Gao Heng quickly put down his hand.
Mrs. Gao thought that her son's crying had disturbed them, and that Chai Yan and Yuan were here to ask for punishment. She quickly covered her son's mouth and said in a panic: "Yan'er, don't cry, don't cry..."
Perhaps because he saw the kite, Gao Yan stopped crying instantly and stood up.
Gao Yan burst into laughter instantly and shouted in surprise: "Sister, are you here to play hide-and-seek with me?"
"Yan'er, what are you talking nonsense about? Shut up!"
Mrs. Gao was frightened by her son's words and thought, how could such a fierce woman come to play hide-and-seek with you?
Gao Heng was so anxious that he turned around and shouted: "Why are you standing there? Why don't you take Yan'er with you? Don't disturb the peace of the two guests!"
"oh oh......"
Mrs. Gao suddenly woke up and immediately went to pull her son, but Gao Yan said nothing and refused to leave, and kept approaching Yuyuan. Gao Heng and his wife looked at him and one of them was angry and anxious.
Yuan said loudly: "Since he wants to play hide and seek, then I'll just play with him!"
"ah?"
Gao Heng and his wife exclaimed in unison, feeling that they had heard wrongly.
But Gao Yan clapped his hands happily: "Okay, okay, sister agreed to play hide and seek with me, that's great..."
While Mrs. Gao was stunned and stunned, Gao Yan had already ran to Yuyuan.
Yuan Yuan asked with a gentle face: "What is your name? How old are you?"
Gao Yan, with wet tears on his face, replied childishly: "My name is Gao Yan, my mother said I am seventeen..."
Yuan nodded and asked again: "Why do you want to play hide and seek with me?"
Gao Yan said seriously: "It's no fun playing with them. They always want me to find them on purpose!"
This they refer to the maids and boys at the courtyard station.
Chai Yan couldn't help but laugh, thinking that this wasn't stupid at all, and he could tell that others had done it to him on purpose.
Yuanyuan grimaced and pretended to be serious: "Yan'er, sister can play hide-and-seek with you, but you must promise sister one thing!"
Gao Yan didn't even ask anything, and nodded vigorously.
"After my sister plays hide-and-seek with you, you must obey your parents. Can you promise me?" Yuan said.
"Yes!" Gao Yan nodded vigorously again.
Yuan Yuan was very satisfied and said: "Okay, sister, go hide now and see if you can find her. If you don't find her, don't cry!"
"Yan'er won't cry!" Gao Yan looked very determined.
After saying that, Yuan Yuan took Gao Yan out of the room.
Then, I heard Gao Yan shouting in the yard: "Go away, everyone, I'm going to play hide-and-seek with my sister!"
As a result, a group of dumbfounded maids and servants were kicked out of the inner courtyard.
Then, I heard the voice of the owl: "Ms. sir, you can come too, it's so boring just the two of us..."
"Ah? I'm coming too? No need..."
Chai Yan said no, but the man had already walked over and joined the hide-and-seek game.
Listening to the laughter and laughter in the yard, the confused Gao Heng and his wife couldn't help but glance at each other. Then they came to the door of the room and looked at their excited son in the yard from a distance.
"Master, what...what's going on?" Mrs. Gao was still confused.
"You ask me, who should I ask?"
Gao Heng couldn't believe what he saw. After speaking, he rubbed his eyes vigorously, shook his head and said to himself: Oh my god, the high official and his wife from the Wude Department in the capital actually accompanied his silly son to play hide and seek at home...
