"Hey, Fifth Young Master, are you feeling sorry for me?"
Pei Weinan unfolded his fan with an exaggerated expression on his face.
"You watch Shi Yu when he arrives, don't let him have his way!"
The look on Rong Jiu's face was very serious.
"No, you can talk to Gu San yourself! Besides, I don't want to be with others. It's best to follow you. At the end, I can catch some prey, so that those dandy boys will not laugh at me again!"
Pei Weinan still had an ungrateful smile on his face, but his eyes were extremely firm.
"Zixi, this trip is indeed dangerous. The fourth prince, the prince, and even my eldest brother have all had a hand in it. Although I am prepared, I may not be able to protect you!"
Rong Jiu could hardly bear to persuade him.
"Rong Wu, I have known about your secret plans, but I still regard you as a confidant and am willing to follow you, even if you are not afraid of these dangers. Gu San knows less, but his friendship for you is also in your heart. clear!"
Pei Weinan didn't even have any jokes on his face this time.
"He will definitely follow you in the next two days. If I take him away by force, the boy may not be obedient. Isn't it just a matter of making a fuss and alerting the snake?"
Knowing his friend's stubbornness, he deliberately added another sentence.
Rong Jiu couldn't help but stroke her forehead when she thought of her third cousin's temperament.
"Instead of thinking about that, let's think about it again. The prince's people will probably not take the initiative to kill you. At most, they will just watch with cold eyes. The fourth prince and your eldest brother's people may not, especially your eldest brother..."
"But I can also take this opportunity to cut off one of your eldest brother's arms in the military!"
"As for the Fourth Prince, I have been scolded by His Majesty in court for the past two days. I feel depressed. You are the Prince's most beloved cousin. Last time I wanted to use that poison to make you cut off your descendants. This time I will definitely be ruthless. !”
Pei Weinan analyzed what Rong Jiu had already known in his heart. He also knew that the person in front of him was just talking to make him give up his previous thoughts, so his thoughts had already been used elsewhere.
"Hey...it's true that my heart illuminates the moon, but the bright moon illuminates the ditch. I am finally willing to use my brain, but some people still don't appreciate it!"
Putting the fan away in front of Rong Jiu, Pei Weinan had that ungrateful look on his face again.
"That's fine! It's up to you!"
The planning for the next two days is almost complete. Although it cannot be said to be 100% sure, there is no big surprise.
"By the way, do you want to take that girl with you too?"
When Pei Weinan saw that his friend had been persuaded, he was humming a tune and was about to leave. Then he remembered something, turned around and asked.
"What? Is there a problem?"
Rong Jiu took a sip of tea and asked casually.
"Are you really attracted to this girl?"
puff……
The tea that Rong Jiu just drank spit out in one gulp.
"Hey, it turns out that a hero really has a hard time being a beauty!"
Pei Weinan, however, didn't wait for Rong Jiu to recover and speak. He sighed, waved his fan and left.
beauty? The little maid is indeed soft and beautiful, but how could he fall in love with a maid?
What's more, in his current situation, having one more person on his mind is not just another weakness for people to poke at.
Here, Taoye packed his luggage, looked at the moon-white Yue Ling in the cabinet, and had an idea in his mind.
Close the door and walk to the main house.
"Is something wrong?"
Rong Jiu was practicing calligraphy behind the desk. When she saw Tao Ye coming in, she frowned and said coldly.
"This slave serves the young master and grinds him!"
Seeing the concerned look on the person behind the case, Taoye thought for a moment and took a few steps forward.
"No...come here!"
Rong Jiu likes to practice big calligraphy when he is upset. The feeling of being in control of everything always calms him down.
He never liked having people around him at times like this. Even Xingyun and Guiyun could only stay outside the door.
But when she just looked up, she saw the timid face of the little maid, and she changed her words accidentally.
It wasn't until Tao Ye walked to the desk and picked up the ink stick that Rong Jiu felt some regret in her heart.
Pei Weinan's fellow often talks about adding fragrance to red sleeves, but he has no interest in it. Reading and practicing calligraphy, quietness is the most important thing.
Grinding is not an easy task. Firstly, it is laborious, and secondly, it is boring. But for Taoye, it is not difficult. She has a lot of strength, is the most attentive, and has good ink on her hands. In addition to rosin, there is also a faint scent of dipterocarps.
After listening to it for a long time, my heart becomes more and more peaceful.
Rong Jiu glanced to the side and saw that the peach leaves were indeed ground well. Her mind was focused on the words under the pen again. It was not until the stack of rice paper in her hand reached the bottom that she realized that her wrist was a little sore.
Unconsciously, it was already past noon.
I wrote it for a full two hours, and the little maid also studied the ink for more than an hour.
Rong Jiu couldn't help but stop writing and look to the side.
The little maid's hands were as white as jade, and against the ink strips, they were as white as gelatin.
"Stop it!"
Rong Jiu put down his pen.
"yes!"
Taoye carefully placed the ink stick in her hand.
"Go and have a meal!"
When Rong Jiu was about to get up and walk out, he saw that the little maid's eyes were still on the ink strip.
"You haven't polished it off enough? You don't even want to use it?"
Perhaps he had just had a hearty calligraphy practice, and there was a deep smile in Rong Jiu's voice.
"Slave, come right now!"
Taoye retracted her gaze and followed Rong Jiu. When she got outside, the food box was already placed on the table.
"Master, the food just now was cold. I asked the kitchen to cook it again!"
Xingyun looked at Taoye who followed him out, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
The young master didn't like to be disturbed when he was practicing calligraphy, so he and Gui Yun went back to their houses. There was no one else in the yard. If anyone came in, the guards outside would report it.
Unexpectedly, Miss Taoye actually went in.
What's even more unexpected is that they didn't hear the young master lose his temper outside, and Miss Taoye actually stayed inside for so long.
Rong Jiu nodded and sat down on the round stool. After Tao Ye laid out the meal, he asked her to join him as usual.
These days, he is used to having meals with others. There are no outsiders in the courtyard, so there is no need to follow the rules.
"Fifth Young Master, can I ask you a favor?"
After finishing the meal, Taoye saw that the person in front of him seemed to be in a good mood. He hesitated for a moment and then spoke.
"What's the matter?"
Rong Jiu took the freshly brewed tea from Tao Ye's hand, smelled the tangy fragrance, and asked casually.
"This slave wants some paper, ink, and a pen..."
"You want to learn calligraphy?"
Rong Jiu didn't expect that the little maid's request was this. However, the little maid not only knew how to read, but could also practice calligraphy, so Rong Jiu had some doubts in her heart.
How can ordinary maids know this?
Although the little maid is a first-class maid beside his mother, no better than others, he has checked the directions of everyone around her. The little maid only entered the house three years ago. After entering the house, she was assigned to the sweeping room, and later she worked in the garden. When I met my mother, I arrived at the main courtyard.
I don’t even have a chance to read!
