If that girl wears this hairpin when she sees you, she will be a punctual and lawful person. Even if she is allowed to be pampered by the fifth young master, she will not cause trouble in the future.
But no matter what, you must not show a trace of jealousy in front of Mrs. Rong. I have inquired that this girl used to be Mrs. Rong's first-class maid, and she was very fond of her. If you want to establish a firm foothold in the Duke's Mansion in the future, you may also There is a time to use her.
This is what her mother said to her yesterday.
"Miss Du is so complimentary that I don't want to be a slave!"
Taoye lowered his hands respectfully.
"Taoye was trained by the Duke's wife, and his character is naturally good!"
"I heard that you fell into the water a few days ago, and I was worried for a long time. Today I see that you are fine, and I feel relieved!"
Chen Shujun and Tao Ye were close friends, and she was not someone who cared too much about dignity. She didn't have the airs of a noble lady when she spoke. Compared with Du Yanrong's polite words just now, it was clear that they were familiar and distant.
"Miss Lao Chen cares!"
After all, in front of others, Taoye could only smile sincerely and not reveal too much.
"It's rare that my yard is so lively. The weather is nice today. We went to the yard for a walk. Miss Chen didn't come to the chrysanthemum viewing party last time. Although Yan Rong came, something happened later and she didn't go for a walk. All of it!"
Gu Yunqing's face lit up when he saw that Du Yanrong and Tao Ye were able to talk to each other naturally and that they would get along well with each other in the future.
"Yanrong is willing to accompany his wife for a walk!"
Du Yanrong stood up quickly and said.
"Madam invites me, it's better to be respectful than to obey!"
Chen Shujun also responded generously.
Taoye stood with her hands hanging down, but there was a look of sadness in her eyes. She was not well. She was already a little tired when she walked from the front yard. If she went to the garden, it would not be over for a while, and she would inevitably have to rush to get up. Serve before.
But it is impossible to refuse.
Taoye reluctantly cheered up, and followed Gu Yunqing and the others into the garden with Biyun and the others.
Along the way, Gu Yunqing pulled Du Yanrong and asked him warm questions, but he did not leave Chen Shujun aside and asked him a question from time to time.
Du Yanrong was eager to leave a good impression on Gu Yunqing and was quite reserved in his words. On the other hand, Chen Shujun had a manly nature and spoke very straightforwardly, making Gu Yunqing laugh several times.
But in this way, the group of people walked extremely slowly, and Taoye didn't feel much discomfort.
"Who's playing the piano?"
As soon as they entered the garden, they heard bursts of clear music. Chen Shujun immediately saw a person sitting in a pavilion by the flower garden not far away, accompanied by two maids.
"In response to Miss Chen, she is the second young lady in the house!"
Madam didn't like the people in Aunt Luo's room. After Taoye finished speaking, she shook her head invisibly at Chen Shujun.
"That's it! Madam Rong, I heard that the green chrysanthemums cultivated in the mansion are the best in Shengjing. Those craftsmen were specially invited by Madam from Qiongzhou. I wonder if you are lucky enough to take a look at them today!"
Chen Shujun was smart, and it was nothing new in Shengjing for Duke Jingguo to spoil his concubines and kill his wives. After receiving Tao Ye's signal, he naturally changed his subject.
"This is natural. If Miss Chen likes it, we will go there now!"
The green chrysanthemum garden is just on the other side, not in the same direction as the pavilion.
The group of people was about to turn around and go to the other side, but the music in the pavilion stopped.
After walking not long, Rong Shu caught up from behind.
"Mother!"
Hearing this sound, Gu Yunqing had to stop. After all, there were outsiders around him.
"Is mother here to visit the garden? Is Shu'er's piano sound disturbing you?"
Rong Shu smiled slightly and greeted Gu Yunqing.
"Second Miss, why aren't you with me at Shou'an Hall today? The old lady likes you, my granddaughter, to relieve her boredom the most!"
Rong Shu is different from Rong Hui. She has been well-behaved and sensible since she was a child, and she can't fault Gu Yunqing in terms of etiquette. However, Gu Yunqing always feels that the meaning in that frown and smile is the same as Luo's, so she doesn't like it. Concubine.
"My grandmother felt sorry for me when she saw that I had been staying with her at Shou'an Hall these days, so she asked me to come out and hang out!"
After answering, Rong Shu looked at Chen Shujun and Du Yanrong with a smile: "These are the Chen family sisters and the Du family sisters!"
"Miss Rong Er!"
Chen Shujun nodded coldly in return. Du Yanrong responded more slowly, and waited for Chen Shujun to finish speaking before saying hello in the same way.
"The two sisters are really good-looking!"
Rong Shu admired and looked at Gu Yunqing: "Mom, would you mind if your daughter goes shopping with you and your two sisters?"
"If you are free, just follow me!"
Gu Yunqing said calmly.
There are too many people and things in this house that she doesn't like, and she has gotten used to them over the years. She is a little tolerant when it comes to her mother-in-law, but she just turns a blind eye to the rest of the people.
"Shu'er thanked mother!"
Rong Shu was able to follow her, and walked to Gu Yunqing's side in a few steps. Just as she was about to reach out to help him, someone took the lead.
"There are a lot of moss on the rocks on the ground here. Madam, please be careful where you step!"
It was Taoye who helped Gu Yunqing before Rong Shu.
"Okay, you should also be careful and don't fall!"
Gu Yunqing glanced at Taoye approvingly, and then said something to Du Yanrong and the other two.
"Madam, don't worry, Shujun hasn't seen the green chrysanthemum in the house yet, so there is no way she can be so drunk that she falls to the ground right now!"
Chen Shujun was joking.
These words made everyone in the group laugh, and even Tao Ye curled her lips.
Only Rong Shu was smiling, but there was something else shining in her eyes.
The green chrysanthemums in Duke Jingguo's Mansion occupy a large area of the flower bed, which is particularly pleasing to the eye at first glance. It is a scene rarely seen elsewhere.
Even Chen Shujun was a little happy when she suddenly saw this green wave. She couldn't help but walk around the flower garden, and squatted down to take a closer look from time to time.
"Sister Chen is also a lover of flowers? These plums, orchids, bamboos and chrysanthemums are all elegant things, and Sister Yue matches them perfectly!"
Rong Shu walked to Chen Shujun and said with a chuckle.
"I'm a very vulgar person. I like all novel and beautiful things, no matter what!"
Chen Shujun's mind was entirely on the flowers and she answered casually.
"I heard that Chen Yushi is loyal and upright, and my sister is also such a temperament. I really admire Rong Shu!"
Rong Shu came closer and was almost next to Chen Shujun.
Chen Shujun had seen enough, straightened up and was about to walk forward, when she felt that the hem of her skirt was pressed down by something, and her body unconsciously tilted towards the flower bed.
"oops……"
It wasn't that she was afraid of being hurt by the fall, it was just a pity for the flower beneath her.
But this shout has attracted everyone's attention.
"Miss Chen!"
Biyun and others were all shocked and hurriedly stepped forward to help the person.
Taoye also hurriedly placed the freshly broken flower in Du Yanrong's hand and walked over quickly.
"Ms. Chen, are you okay? Did you fall somewhere?"
When Taoye arrived, Chen Shujun had already been helped up.
"Second Miss, is it hurt from the fall?"
Rong Shu's maid next to her had just helped her master up.
