When Taoye first entered the main courtyard to serve, she happened to help Tian's mother once. Tian's mother knew how to repay her kindness, and she also had some friendship with Taoye over the years.
"A few days ago, Mother Tian had a few arguments with Manager Cao, who was in charge of purchasing in the big kitchen. Today, just as the kitchen started preparing the masters' lunch, Manager Cao came into the kitchen with a few boys and escorted them away! "
"First, they said that Mother Tian secretly moved the goat milk that Aunt Yang drank to nourish her body to a nearby place. Then she said that she was used to lining her own pockets, but Mother Tian did not admit it!"
"But Manager Cao found several precious ingredients from Mama Cao's house in front of everyone!"
"Sister, you know that Mother Tian is not this kind of person, and the goat milk was originally requested by the Fifth Young Master. Mother Tian also reported it at the time, but no one is willing to admit it now, and there is no such transaction in the account book!"
Lotus cried out anxiously.
After hearing this, Taoye thought about it. There was a lot of oil and water in the big kitchen. The old lady, the eldest young master, and Aunt Luo should all have manpower, but she really didn't know who the manager Cao belonged to.
After all, Madam cannot bear to interfere with the affairs of the inner courtyard.
A lot of things happened recently, and Taoye's first thought was that someone was using Tian's mother's affairs to cause trouble for her again.
But on the goat milk issue, there was really a limit to what could be written. She had already asked the Fifth Young Master for instructions.
It only takes a few words from the Fifth Young Master to solve the problem.
"Do you know the content of the argument between Mother Tian and Manager Cao yesterday?"
Peach leaves and lotus flowers.
"I was outside at that time, and I only vaguely heard about ginseng, it tastes bad, and it's bad. These are all what Tian's mother said!"
Hehua thought about it carefully.
Does ginseng taste bad?
Taoye muttered it again, feeling familiar.
"Sister, did Mother Tian say that the ginseng in the warehouse was spoiled and wanted Manager Cao to buy some new ones? That's why they started arguing!"
Lotus asked.
Reminded by this question, Taoye remembered that her soup for lunch yesterday was ginseng chicken soup. At that time, she only took a sip and felt that the taste was not right, so she put it aside.
She didn't think much at the time, she just told Nayun not to drink.
It seems that there is something really wrong with this ginseng.
Mother Tian must be saved. After all, there is something about goat milk involved, but how to save her is the problem.
She went there by herself. The people in the big kitchen didn't give her face or say anything, and they easily involved her. Now the old lady and Aunt Luo in the house are not satisfied with her.
The only person in the house who can make a difference is the madam, but how to persuade the madam to come forward.
The previous incidents more or less involved the fifth young master, so the lady was willing to come forward.
Suddenly, something flashed in Taoye's mind.
"Hehua, did you just say that Manager Cao first said that Mother Tian misappropriated Aunt Yang's goat milk quota?"
"yes……"
Hehua somehow got to the front again and nodded doubtfully.
"You go back quietly first, don't let anyone see you running out, so as not to be punished, I will find a way to deal with Tian's mother!"
Taoye let Lotus go back first.
"Brother Xingyun, I'm going to Madam's place!"
After Lotus went out, Taoye walked up to Xingyun and said.
Xingyun glanced at the peach leaf surface, said nothing, just nodded.
"Why is sister here? But what happened?"
Taoye walked into the main courtyard and happened to meet Huicao coming out of the curtain.
"Is Madam in there?"
"Is it Taoye? Come in quickly!"
As soon as she asked, Gu Yunqing's joyful voice sounded inside.
Taoye opened the curtain and entered the room, which was filled with exquisite clothes and jewelry.
"You have good taste. Please help me find out what kind of clothes and jewelry I should wear during the Chrysanthemum Appreciation Banquet in the future!"
Gu Yunqing waved Tao Ye over.
"Madam looks very happy today!"
There was some doubt in Taoye's smiling face. She remembered that Bixiao said that this chrysanthemum appreciation banquet was for the second young master to see his marriage. With the madam's grudge against Aunt Luo, she would never be so solemn and happy.
"Now that Ajiu has an official position and is not young anymore, I have invited all the ladies of similar status and age in the capital to this chrysanthemum appreciation banquet. I can show Ajiu a few of them at the right time!"
Gu Yunqing originally wanted Xie Yunrou to be her daughter-in-law. Firstly, her eldest sister kept beating her ears. Secondly, Xie Yunrou was obsessed with her son and had a good reputation in Shengjing. Thirdly, the Xie family was a noble family and her status was worthy of her.
But when talking to his son a few days ago, his son seemed to be dissatisfied with Xie Yunrou's body being too delicate.
When she thought about it later, she found it reasonable. If she was in poor health, how would she be able to take care of her son in the future?
Therefore, despite what his eldest sister had said a few days ago, Gu Yunqing decided to choose a few more for his son and asked him to check them out.
Now that my son has learned about love affairs, he will not be as resistant to marriage as before.
Thinking about it this way, she became even more satisfied with Taoye.
"The pieces of jewelry sent by Zhenbao Pavilion today are very suitable for young girls like you!"
Gu Yunqing is a casual person. Just now he was asking Taoye about the clothes he wanted to wear, but now he asked Biyun to bring over a jewelry box next to him.
"This gold moth hairpin is just right for you to wear!"
"You can also take these pair of agate earrings with you!"
"You went to Ajiu's place, why are you dressing more and more plainly!"
As Gu Yunqing spoke, he already picked up the hairpin and wanted to insert it into Tao Ye's head.
Taoye quickly squatted down.
"Thank you, madam, for the reward!"
After Gu Yunqing inserted the hairpin, Taoye thanked her and stood up.
"Slave, please show Madam her clothes and jewelry!"
Gu Yunqing was in high spirits, so Taoye could only put the matter down first.
When it comes to dressing, Gu Yunqing always listens to Tao Ye's advice.
Therefore, the clothes and jewelry to be worn at the banquet the day after tomorrow were quickly decided.
After making the selection, Biyun and Bixiao took Huicao to put away the clothes and jewelry.
"Madam, I came here today to ask for your help?"
Taoye brewed a cup of tea, put it in Gu Yunqing's hand, lowered her body and said.
"What's up?"
Gu Yunqing took a sip of tea. It was just the strength he liked, and he was in a good mood.
"The fifth young master brought back a little fox from the hunting ground for his slave to raise. Seeing that the little silver fox was still young, the slave informed the fifth master to go to the big kitchen to ask for some goat's milk. But today, Na Tian's mother was suppressed by the steward!"
Taoye considered her words carefully and continued: "She secretly moved the goat milk that Aunt Yang used to replenish her body to the fifth young master's yard, which is against the rules!"
"I'm thinking that Aunt Yang is not in good health. If she is allowed to be framed by the steward in the kitchen, the people in the house will falsely accuse the fifth young master of oppressing the concubine, which will give her a bad reputation!"
Tao Ye's words never left Rong Jiu.
"Biyun goes and invites Mother Qin!"
When it comes to his son, Gu Yunqing will not ignore it.
