Being scolded so unceremoniously by his own daughter, Luo Shi didn't show any dissatisfaction on his face. He lowered his eyes and said softly: "My aunt was reckless this time and underestimated that girl. But now that the second lady is back, my aunt is relieved." , with the intelligence of the second young lady, she will definitely be able to come up with a solution!"
"I already know the matter. I'll go to Shou'an Hall to say hello first and get my grandmother's ear before I talk about anything else!"
Although Rong Shu said this, she didn't really pay attention to a married woman, thinking that her biological mother was just having a smooth life these years, and her methods were not as good as before.
"I am accompanying the second young lady. The old lady loves you the most. If I see you, I will definitely be happy in my heart!"
Aunt Luo fell half a step behind Rong Shu, looking like a maid following her master.
Outer courtyard.
It wasn't until the end of Youshi that Rong Jiu returned to the courtyard.
"Fifth Young Master, this servant has just made someone heat up the food..."
"Take it down, I used it outside!"
Qingxing waited hungry at the door of the main house for more than an hour, but she only waited for this sentence. The smile on her face was as embarrassing as her cold body.
"I've rewarded you with those meals, so go down and eat first!"
Rong Jiu turned back and said something before walking into the door.
"My slave, thank you Fifth Young Master for the reward!"
After Qingxing got this sentence, she felt like she had got a treasure, and she became happy again.
"Go get someone here!"
Guiyun came in with a basin of warm water. As soon as he put the towel in the water, he heard his young master's calm instructions.
"Ah...yes!"
After Guiyun reacted for a while, he realized that this person was Miss Taoye.
"Fifth Young Master!"
After entering the room, Taoye first saluted the person sitting on the couch, then wrung out the towel and handed it over, and helped Rong Jiu change into a moon-white t-shirt.
Rong Jiu leaned lazily on the collapse, and asked Tao Ye to get a few books from the bookshelf, and picked one at random to read.
"Have you finished reading all those books last time?"
Seeing Tao Ye's eyes lingering on the agarwood table, Rong Jiu asked casually.
"I read it all over again, but I couldn't read all the words, so I just took a rough look!"
Taoye looked away reluctantly.
"Come and sit here. I'm free today. I'll teach you some words!"
When Taoye heard this, her face was full of surprise, and her bright eyes became more and more beautiful.
"Fifth Young Master!"
But as soon as he sat down on the edge of the couch, he was pulled into his arms, and he couldn't help but exclaimed.
"What are you calling for? Read this page from the beginning. Stop if you don't recognize anything!"
Rong Jiu held her waist as thin as a willow branch with her hands, but she leaned against the couch.
Taoye sat upright and read seriously.
This is a travel diary, and Tao Ye doesn't recognize many of the place names, so he has to lean over and place the book in front of Rong Jiu. After getting the answer, he continues to read.
Taoye wanted to know more words, so she read words quickly when she encountered places she knew, and asked questions if she didn't understand. For an entire hour, she didn't even stop to take a sip of water.
Rong Jiu felt quite depressed. She knew that the little maid loved reading, but she didn't expect that she was so obsessed with it that she didn't even notice that his hand on her waist was gently stroking it.
But the little maid is indeed very smart. She can pronounce the words accurately the second time she asks him.
"That's it for today!"
Seeing that the little maid couldn't finish reading one book, and her eyes drifted to other books on the table, Rong Jiu coughed hurriedly.
"yes!"
Taoye carefully put the book back and was picked up before she could turn around.
"Fifth Young Master, can you not do it today... There will be a chrysanthemum banquet in the mansion tomorrow. Madam asked the servants to come over early to help!"
As soon as her body touched the bed, Taoye hurriedly raised her body and begged softly.
Rong Jiu's movements froze.
"Can I serve you again tomorrow?"
In the last two times, Tao Ye has been tortured quite hard. If this happens every day, her body will not be able to bear it.
Moreover, although Madam said that the anti-pregnant medicine would cause little harm to the body, no matter how small it was, it was still harmful to the body, and she did not want to use it every day.
The little maid's voice was a little hoarse from reading too many books just now, and her huddled body made her look even more fragile and pitiful.
Rong Jiu straightened up with a sullen face.
Taoye breathed a sigh of relief, got up from the bed, and helped Rong Jiu take off his outer shirt.
"Come here quickly!"
Seeing Taoye standing still after putting away her clothes, Rong Jiu shouted softly.
Seeing that the fifth young master still wanted to keep her today, Taoye took off her long skirt and outer shirt, and moved to the bed wearing only the undershirt and pants. She couldn't help but tremble from the cold.
Before he could reach it, Taoye was surrounded by a warm embrace. Taoye did not struggle this time and followed the gesture of the person in front of him and lay down inside.
When those calloused hands reached out from under her clothes, Taoye's body only stiffened for a moment, and then relaxed again.
"Go to sleep, I won't move you!"
Rong Jiu took the soft body into her arms, closed her eyes and said.
"Thank you, Fifth Young Master!"
Taoye said softly.
Rong Jiu didn't respond, as if he had fallen asleep.
Taoye woke up before midnight the next day.
The fifth young master held her tightly, and if he wanted to move, he would definitely alarm people.
Taoye didn't deliberately move lightly, so as soon as she moved a little to the side, Rong Jiu opened her eyes.
"Fifth Young Master, it's time for me to get up!"
Taoye said.
Rong Jiu moved away the hand on her waist.
With the tacit permission, she pushed herself up, moved out of the bed from the back, put on her clothes quickly, and gently closed the door after leaving the room.
When Taoye arrived at the main courtyard, Gu Yunqing had just stood up, and Biyun and Bixiao were serving and grooming. Taoye bowed and waited aside.
After Gu Yunqing sat in front of the dressing table, Tao Ye stepped forward to serve him.
There was a banquet in the house today. She combed Gu Yunqing's hair into a slightly complicated and gorgeous bun, inserted the jewelry she had chosen earlier in an orderly manner, and evenly applied some powder on her face.
Luxurious but not flashy, Gu Yunqing glanced left and right in the mirror and was very satisfied.
"You look pretty good today!"
Gu Yunqing stood up from the dressing table and saw that Taoye was wearing a light blue skirt with a folded branch pattern today. The pretty single bun was inserted with the moth-making gold hairpin she had just admired yesterday, and there were red agate earrings in her ears. .
"They are all gifts from Madam!"
Tao Ye pretended to be charming.
"Madam, the fifth young master is here!"
As soon as the announcement outside fell, Taoye heard the crisp sound of the jade curtain, and a peacock blue figure walked into the house.
"Hello, mother!"
When Rong Jiu came in, he bowed to Gu Yunqing first, and then said with a smile: "It seems that my son has come at the right time. Has mother not set the table yet?"
"In all this busyness, I have forgotten that you are taking a rest today. I just happen to have something to say to you!"
Gu Yunqing urged Biyun to pass the breakfast meal, and then called his son to him.
"Today, my mother has invited many noble ladies of Shengjing's age to come to her house. Take a good look, do you like any of them?"
"No matter what, your marriage must be finalized before the end of the year!"
