"Get up. I, the princess, misunderstood you yesterday. How are you feeling?"
Mingyue noticed the change in Rong Jiu's expression and felt happy, then looked at Tao Ye who was still saluting.
"I don't dare! I'm fine now!"
Hearing these gentle words, Taoye felt a sense of alarm in her heart.
She didn't feel this way when she was pointed at and scolded by the princess yesterday.
"Chuntao, bring it!"
There was even a smile on Mingyue's face. She turned around and took a jade bracelet from the palace maid's hand, and was about to put it on Tao Ye herself.
"Princess, this slave can't bear it!"
Taoye took a step back and knelt on the ground again.
"Are you still complaining about this princess in your heart?"
"Yes, it's all my fault that my princess said something too much yesterday!"
When Mingyue saw Taoye's excuse, she shouted dissatisfiedly and even brought out some anger unconsciously.
But he immediately suppressed his anger, frowned, and looked at Rong Jiu with regret.
"Since it's a reward from the princess, just take it!"
It was rare for Mingyue not to show off her temper, so Rong Jiu signaled Tao Ye to take the jade bracelet.
"Slave, thank you princess for the reward!"
The fifth young master had already spoken, and Taoye couldn't disobey him. When he went to pick it up, he deliberately paid more attention to it, but the bracelet did arrive in her hand intact.
"Brother Ajiu, then Mingyue is going to attend the class first!"
Rong Jiu smiled and nodded, and Mingyue left happily.
"You follow Guiyun to the yard to settle down!"
After Mingyue left, Rong Jiu looked at Tao Ye and said.
"Yes, this slave is going down first!"
Taoye followed Guiyun obediently and went to the other side.
"That's right, Rong Wu. This is the first time I've seen this princess being so polite! We, the common people, are really incomparable!"
As soon as Tao Ye left, Pei Weinan sighed softly, looking full of emotion.
"Rare... medicinal materials..."
After receiving these four-word answer, Pei Weinan quickly shut up and made a silent gesture.
Rong Jiu left with satisfaction.
"Hey, these rich people are all ancestors!"
Pei Weinan sighed and walked towards his yard.
Not to mention these two people, let's talk about Tao Ye, who followed Gui Yun and walked for almost two quarters of an hour before stopping in front of a quiet courtyard.
"Mr. Kong lives in the yard next door. The young master is his close disciple. It is more convenient to live close to him! Mr. Kong likes peace and quiet. This place is more remote than other places. After all, it is in the mountains, and there will be some wild animals approaching. , Miss Taoye should be careful when walking around, especially at night, it’s best not to go out casually!”
Guiyun looks gentler than Xingyun and talks more.
"Thank you, Brother Guiyun, for reminding me!"
Taoye smiled and thanked.
"Girl, you don't have to be polite!"
Gui Yun also talked about Rong Jiu's living habits when he was in the academy, as well as some situations in the academy, and then went out.
Taoye walked around the courtyard. This courtyard was only one-third the size of the Fifth Young Master's courtyard in Duke Jingguo's mansion. The interior decoration was simple, but it exuded an aura of nobility.
There was only a bamboo couch in the bedroom, a small bookshelf, and a wardrobe. The only eye-catching thing was the agarwood desk, which gave the whole room a faint fragrance.
The hall outside is not big. There are two chairs at the top, a high table in the middle, a chair on the left and right sides, and a round table by the window.
In addition to the main house, there are two small rooms on the east and west sides.
The house on the east side looked like it was occupied by someone, probably Xingyun and Guiyun, so Taoye placed his things in the first room on the west side.
Fortunately, Xingyun brought a lot of his own things to deliver the medicine to the East Palace that day, and among the luggage that Madam brought today, there was also a bundle of her thicker clothes.
Madam treats her well so far.
Thinking of this, Taoye took out a bottle of medicine from the baggage she had packed and put it carefully into the cabinet.
It was past noon, and she was a little hungry. Guiyun was walking in a hurry just now, so she didn't have time to ask. Fortunately, she had brought all the snacks in the carriage with her.
Taoye ate a few pieces of peony cake to finish her lunch.
With nothing to do, I cleaned the yard again.
It was almost at the end of the unitary hour that Taoye saw Rong Jiu and the others coming back, and Xingyun was still holding a food box in his hand.
After Taoye saluted Rongjiu, she followed into the house.
After putting down the food box, Xingyun retreated voluntarily.
Taoye stepped forward and opened the food box. There were only three dishes and one soup in it. Although it contained both meat and vegetables, the portions were quite large, but not to mention compared with those in the East Palace, even in the Duke's Mansion, it was much better than this.
But her face didn't show anything.
"Sit down and use it together!"
Taoye had just laid out two chopsticks for Rong Jiu when she heard a faint order.
"Thank you, Master!"
Only a few pastries were used for lunch. Taoye was already a little hungry. There was no one else in the room, so Taoye didn't refuse and sat next to Rong Jiu.
"hungry?"
"There are some..."
Taoye looked down and found that the job in front of her had bottomed out.
When a person is hungry, she will eat everything that tastes delicious, but after all, she is dining with her master, so she cannot eat whatever dishes she wants, and accidentally eats up all the rice in the bowl.
“Eat more when you’re hungry!”
After Rong Jiu asked that question, she remembered that the little maid might not have anywhere to eat for lunch, so she pointed at the dishes.
"Thank you, Master!"
The master has said so, so Taoye will naturally not suffer any loss from herself.
Rong Jiu saw that the peach leaves were delicious, and she had more appetite. By the time the two stopped, there was not much left of the three dishes and one soup.
He called Xingyun to come in, put away the dishes and chopsticks, and turned on the lamp. As soon as he finished serving Rong Jiu to wash up, Tao Ye fell into a familiar embrace.
She obediently allowed the fifth young master to press her down on the bamboo couch, and only moaned a few times when she couldn't bear it any longer.
"So squeamish!"
Rong Jiu held the soft and smooth waist in her hands, sighing in her heart that it was indeed difficult to transition from luxury to frugality. Although she had relieved herself once yesterday, it could not be compared to the pleasure she felt with the little maid.
Taoye's body had not fully recovered yet, and now she was extremely tired. She didn't hear her slight words of anger clearly, but she just shrank closer to Rong Jiu. She was not satisfied until her whole body was leaning against that warm body. fell asleep.
There are no outsiders in this yard, and Rong Jiu doesn't follow any rules when she is satisfied. Moreover, the little maid is afraid that she won't be able to get up now, so she simply falls asleep with her arms around him.
The next day, when Taoye woke up, there was no one around her.
He stood up and looked at the sky outside. It should have just passed Mao hour, and there was still some residual warmth around him. According to what Xingyun said yesterday, the fifth young master should have just gotten up.
Gently getting up from the couch, Taoye put on her clothes and walked to the door.
When she was still a few steps away from the door, Taoye heard voices in the hall outside and subconsciously stopped.
