After another round of joking, Taoye followed Rong Jiu back to the outer courtyard.
In the golden shark gauze tent, the lights and shadows were mottled, and Taoye felt that the fifth young master's movements today were a little more gentle, which was not as unbearable to her as before.
Before midnight on the second day, Taoye got up with Rong Jiu. After serving others, he made the bed, then returned to his room, had breakfast, took the anti-pregnant medicine prepared by Nanyun, and then I read a book in the west wing room.
After watching for a while, Zhao Jin's voice sounded outside the door.
"Manager Zhao, do you have anything to tell me?"
Taoye put down the book in her hand, stood up and asked.
"Girl, just sit here and don't dare to work for you!"
Zhao Jin had a fawning smile on his face, which was very different from the cold and arrogant look of the past few days.
"Manager Zhao is joking!"
The smile on Taoye's face was very light, and at first glance it looked like she was just being polite.
Zhao Jin cursed in his heart, but with a smile on his face:
"It's like this. It's almost the end of the year, and it's time to take stock of the accounts in each courtyard. Although the expenses in this courtyard are all paid by the public, the girl also knows that the fifth young master has a distinguished status, and the queen is caring about him in the palace. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Marquis Yongning are in pain outside the palace, and they receive a lot of rewards in every year!"
"There are many precious things such as gold and jade ornaments, jade pendants and cloths, and the four treasures of the study. There is no place to display them outside, so they are all stored in the warehouse!"
"I have been in charge of the warehouse in the courtyard all these years, and it's hard for me to support it alone. I'm quite trepidatious!"
As he spoke, Zhao Jin glanced at Peach Leaf quietly, and saw the calm look on Hibiscus's face.
"Now that things have happened to Qingxing and Qingmei one after another, and the fifth young master is going to get married in a year and a half, I really can't handle the things in this yard by myself!"
Zhao Jin thought that since he had said all that, Tao Ye should show some expression.
But after waiting for a long time, he heard no sound.
In the past, he would have walked away, but thinking of the only seedling in his family, he did not dare to delay any longer: "I have always heard that Miss Taoye is meticulous and cautious in her work, so why not help manage the entry and exit of the warehouse in the future?" Plate the contents inside as well.”
"This is the entry and exit of the warehouse this year. If the girl encounters something wrong, she can just change it!"
Taoye glanced at the account book placed on the table.
She thought to herself that Zhao Jin really thought that she was stupid and brainless. When it came to her status in this house, she was certainly not as good as a housekeeper, but in this courtyard, the honor and disgrace were no more than those of the fifth young master. in a moment.
As long as the fifth young master dotes on her, her status in this yard will be higher than that of Zhao Jin.
Zhao Jin entrusted this matter to himself as a manager. If he does it well in the future, he will not only gain face in front of the fifth young master, but also have to appreciate his kindness. If something goes wrong, he can blame all the mistakes in the past. to yourself.
"Guan Zhao really thinks highly of Tao Ye. I am afraid of being inconsiderate when serving the fifth young master on weekdays. I don't care about these things!"
Taoye pushed the account book back, and when she saw that Zhao Jin wanted to say more, she lowered her head in shame: "Madam just asked me yesterday to serve the fifth young master without distractions. Manager Zhao is so busy that I really can't do anything!"
After carrying Gu Yunqing out, Zhao Jin couldn't even try to persuade him.
"As a madam, it's hard for the villain to force her, but with the girl's ability, it's really a pity!"
Zhao Jin took back the account book and thought about it with some reluctance: "The fifth young master only has the girl by his side now. If the girl takes care of some common affairs in the garden, the fifth young master can also help when the fifth young master comes in in the future..."
Taoye smiled secretly in her heart, which was a hint that she wanted to take charge of the general affairs in the yard before the fifth young master got married.
But the fifth young master is not the Duke of the country, and his wife is not the one in Shou'an Hall now. She can't be Aunt Luo either.
"I really want to share the worries of the fifth young master, but my energy is limited, and with my wife here, I can only do the hard work in the warehouse, Manager Zhao!"
There seemed to be some movement on Tao Ye's face, but she just glanced regretfully at the account book in Zhao Jin's hand, and still flatly refused.
Zhao Jin was filled with depression from all this.
The smile on his face was fake and stiff.
"Such a villain doesn't dare to force a girl!"
Zhao Jin held the account book and left with a depressed heart.
"Girl, I remember that Manager Zhao values the power in his hands the most. A few days ago, when Qing Xing was dictating things in the yard, he was very unhappy. Why is he even willing to leave such important tasks as taking stock of the warehouse to the girl's hands today!"
After Zhao Jin went out, Nan Yun asked in confusion.
"Something went wrong..."
Taoye paused for a moment before continuing softly: "It seems that there is something wrong with this warehouse..."
"There must be a demon!"
However, Nan Yun answered the question very smoothly, and the two looked at each other and laughed.
Shanglin Garden of the Imperial Palace.
"Ajiu is becoming more and more proficient in kung fu right now, and he is quite like your father's style back then!"
Emperor Ming Qi Hong got off the horse with the help of his chamberlain, and pointed at the handsome man who just got off the horse with a smile.
"Your Majesty's words are correct. My father's demeanor is no longer what it used to be. Naturally, I cannot compare with my minister!"
Rong Jiu casually threw the riding crop in his hand to the waiter who was following him, and walked leisurely behind the bright yellow figure, without the restraint of being accompanied by others.
"You should restrain yourself. If Duke Jingguo finds out about this, he will not be beaten with a military stick again!"
Qi Hong walked to the stands and sat down, scolding Rong Jiu.
"Your Majesty is really clever. How did you know that my father wants to cause trouble for me recently?"
Rong Jiu casually cupped his hands and sat down.
"Oh? What ridiculous thing did you do to anger Duke Jingguo again?"
Qi Hong took the cloth presented by the chamberlain and wiped the thin sweat on his face. He had been pampered over the years and his body gradually gained weight. However, after riding a horse twice and shooting three arrows, he was covered in sweat.
But those eyes are still sharp.
"It's just a trivial matter, not worth mentioning. Besides, I carried His Majesty out in time, so of course the military stick couldn't fall on him!"
Rong Jiu leaned on the back of the chair, completely out of shape. This lazy look did not have the sharpness that he had just hit the target on the horse.
"Ever since you were on errands at the Yulin Guards, I have always said good things to you in front of your father, and now I can punish you for a trivial matter. It seems that my face is not good for you!"
Qi Hong looked at the tea cup in his hand and shook his head.
"I know that your majesty will not let go of my joke. It was a palace maid named Qingxing who was rewarded by my aunt. I don't know who bribed me these days. She went to inquire about the important affairs of my father's army. My father caught me and insisted on saying I want to send a message to the prince’s cousin!”
"Your Majesty knows that I am most impatient with these tortuous matters in the court. It's just that my father has a bad temper and has offended people outside. I don't know who wants to find fault with him, but he brings me along!"
