"It's okay, it's all soft soil down there!"
Chen Shujun took Tao Ye's hand and smiled.
"How about, why don't you let the government doctor come and take a look?"
Gu Yunqing was also shocked by this turn of events.
"No need!"
"Madam, I'm really fine!"
Chen Shujun waved her hands indifferently.
"Mom, it's Shuer's fault. She was just looking at the flowers and didn't notice that she stepped on Sister Chen's skirt. Fortunately, Sister Chen is fine!"
With the support of her maid, Rong Shu apologized to Gu Yunqing with a look of shame.
"You have always been a steady person, why are you so reckless today?"
The young lady from Beppu was so implicated that she fell down. As the mistress, it was understandable for Gu Yunqing to say a few words at the scene.
But Rong Shu stood aside with a look of tears on her face, as if she had been severely blamed.
She really looked like her biological mother, Aunt Luo, but among the people present, the servants of the main courtyard naturally turned towards Gu Yunqing, Du Yanrong was focused on pleasing his sweetheart's mother, and Chen Shujun didn't pay attention at all.
Seeing that no one was paying attention, Rong Shu concealed the sharpness in her eyes and lowered her eyes and said: "Mother, Miss Chen's dress is dirty. Why not give Shu'er a chance to make a difference? Is there anyone in Shu'er who is still naked? New clothes, just right for Miss Chen to change into!"
"Sister Chen is similar in stature to me and likes plain colors, so it's just right!"
No one else present heard anything unusual about Rong Shu's words.
But Tao Ye was secretly suspicious.
Not to mention that the second young lady is usually calm and self-possessed, she has never heard of her being so fond of chrysanthemums. Stepping on the hem of Miss Chen's skirt just to see the flowers made her a little suspicious. Besides, the second young lady has a deep mind and will not do useless things. .
But there is nothing to be done about Miss Chen.
"Okay, then you can take good care of the guests!"
Gu Yunqing does not lack any clothes, but she is much taller than Chen Shujun. Her clothes are naturally inappropriate and cannot be worn by others.
"Yes, mother!"
Rong Shu happily agreed.
The words had come to this, even if Taoye wanted to stop it, it was too late, not to mention she just had doubts.
"Madam, please accompany Miss Chen to the second lady's side so that you can help comb your hair!"
Chen Shujun came specially to see her today, and Taoye couldn't let anything happen to her.
"This girl is very clever and ingenious, I hope Madam will give up her love for a while!"
Chen Shujun also wanted to talk to Taoye alone for a while.
"Then you just go along!"
Gu Yunqing nodded in agreement.
"It just so happens that with Miss Taoye here, mother can feel more at ease when she comes!"
Rong Shu seemed to be even happier.
Taoye held Chen Shujun's arm and walked behind Rong Shu's master and servant, being quite cautious along the way.
But there was indeed no problem along the way, and several people entered Rong Shu's yard safely.
Rong Shu is the only young lady in Duke Jingguo's palace who has not left the palace. Not only is her biological mother favored, she is also deeply loved by Duke Jingguo and the Cao family, so this courtyard is no worse than the legitimate daughters in other palaces.
Yishui's rosewood furniture looks simple but everything is valuable.
"Ms. Chen, sit here for a moment, and I'll ask the maid to get some clothes!"
Rong Shu placed the person in the small hall outside her bedroom and asked her personal maid to serve tea.
Soon the maid came in with three cups of tea.
"This tea is called Yunshan Wuluo, and it tastes great. Miss Chen will try it!"
"Try the peach leaves too!"
Rong Shu even prepared Tao Ye's portion.
"I dare not! How can I let such precious tea be wasted by my slave!"
Tao Ye took a step back, lowered her body and said respectfully.
Yunshan Wuluo is extremely precious. It comes from Qiongzhou. It is said that only a hundred kilograms are produced in a year. Most of them are sent to the palace as tribute. The rest can be said to be priceless. The rich man of Yongning Marquis can only afford three taels. catty.
Marquis Yongning loved his wife and gave her half a catty.
Later, the old lady gave gifts to her birthday party, and the fifth young master suddenly disappeared. The madam sent some as an apology the next day, but not much. It was not easy for the second young lady to get these clouds and mist from the old lady.
But it is even more suspicious that such precious tea is used to entertain Miss Chen and her.
While Tao Ye's thoughts were racing, Chen Shujun had already picked up the teacup: "Just by smelling the smell, I knew it was good tea. The fragrance of the tea is light and quiet, and it really feels like being surrounded by mist in the mountains!"
To truly appreciate tea, you should first look at the color, smell the taste, and then take a sip...
Chen Shujun admired the clear emerald green tea soup in the white porcelain cup, with a look of intoxication on her face.
"Since it's been brewed, it would be a waste if you don't drink it!"
"I heard that my mother is generous to her servants and often rewards you with rare things. This is nothing to me!"
Rong Shu actually handed the tea cup to Tao Ye with her own hands.
Now she didn't even have a chance to refuse.
"Slave, thank you, Miss Second, for the reward!"
Tao Ye bowed her eyes thoughtfully and saluted.
Lifting the lid of the tea, the refreshing fragrance filled her nose, but Tao Ye's uneasiness became even stronger.
From the corner of his eye, he saw that Miss Chen had lowered her head and was about to take a sip. At this moment, a familiar smell passed through the fragrance of tea in front of her and entered Taoye's nose.
Boom!
Before she could think about it, Taoye tilted her body and bumped into Chen Shujun, knocking the tea cup out of her hand. The tea cup in her hand fell on her long skirt.
"Peach leaves!"
Chen Shujun didn't care that a few drops of hot tea were splashed on the back of her hand, causing burning pain. She first supported the fallen person.
"How are you? Are you burned? Why do you look so ugly?"
When Taoye stood firm, Chen Shujun asked anxiously.
"It's okay, slave!"
"This slave deserves to die. It was because I was dizzy for a moment and couldn't stand firm, so I destroyed this precious Yunshan Mist Circle and frightened the master. Please forgive me, Second Miss and Miss Chen!"
Taoye said something to Chen Shujun first, then ignored the tea on the floor and knelt down to apologize.
"Get up quickly, I hope everything is okay!"
Naturally, Chen Shujun would not blame Tao Ye.
"Yes, please get up quickly. It was just an unintentional mistake. We have nothing to blame!"
"I thank you two ladies for your unpunished kindness!"
When Rong Shu looked at the broken porcelain and tea scattered on the ground, Tao Ye saw the coldness and urgency flashing in her eyes.
"Second Miss!"
At this time, the maid who went to get clothes also came back.
"Please clean up the floor, don't let those broken porcelain pieces hurt anyone!"
After ordering the maid to pick up the broken porcelain on the ground, Rong Shu looked at Chen Shujun with a smile:
"Then let me, these two maids and Taoye help Sister Chen change, and I'll wait outside!"
"I just have Tao Ye to help me, there's no need..."
But when changing clothes, Chen Shujun was not used to being served by so many people.
"Taoye got cold a few days ago, and her body is still not fully recovered. She couldn't stand firm just now and almost broke herself. You'd better let me, these two maids, work harder. Sister Chen, don't be polite to me!"
