But before she could raise her head, she felt empty.
After Qingxing left, she was the only roommate beside the fifth young master. Although Taoye didn't want to drink more of the anti-child medicine, she was at the moment when she wanted something, so naturally she couldn't let her master down.
But there was only a warm jade couch in the study, with neither soft cushions nor brocade quilts on it. Thinking about what was going to happen next, she felt a little pain in her back, and she was also afraid of getting cold.
"Fifth Young Master, can you go next door..."
Tao Ye buried herself in Rong Jiu's chest and whispered.
Rong Jiu glanced at the warm jade couch and seemed to remember something. A trace of disgust flashed in her eyes. She looked at the person in her arms with a bit of joking, but there seemed to be some satisfaction in her eyebrows.
"Open the door!"
Xingyun, who was guarding outside, hurriedly opened the door.
Rong Jiu held the person in her arms and went to the bedroom next door.
After a storm that was more severe than usual, Taoye grabbed the arm of the person on her body and begged softly, her eyes were very red.
His body was heaving and heaving several times, but Taoye still fell asleep at the back.
Rong Jiu looked at the people below. The snow-white bodies were all covered with traces left by herself, like red plums blown off a tree and covered with white snow, so beautiful and unparalleled.
Another wave of impulse came to my heart, but thinking of my friend's words, I still held it back and just rubbed it a few more times on the already red lips.
Although this night was a rough one, Taoye woke up the next day as soon as the people around her made any movement.
In winter, it gets dark very late, and the house is still dark at midnight. Tao Ye is rubbing her hands and getting up to light the lamp.
It was very cold outside, and she was only wearing a small coat and pants, so she shivered violently from the cold.
Suddenly, there was a heavy weight on her waist, and Taoye's body fell back, falling into the embrace full of warm breath again.
Rong Jiu felt the coldness on the little maid's hand, put the quilt on her body, then got out of bed and lit the oil lamp.
"Thank you, Fifth Young Master!"
Taoye took the clothes Rong Jiu handed over, put them on and got out of bed.
After the two of them were fully dressed, Xingyun and Guiyun came in with hot water at the door.
After washing up, people from the main courtyard had already delivered breakfast.
Tao Ye still eats with Rong Jiu.
After sending people out of the yard, Taoye returned to the main room and tidied the bed.
As soon as he stepped out of the door, Xingyun came over with Zhao Jin.
"Not to mention that Miss Taoye is capable. I wanted her to take care of the warehouse in the yard before, but now even the fifth young master has spoken and wants to hand over the keys to the warehouse to the girl!"
There was no dissatisfaction on Zhao Jin's face, and he diligently presented the key to the warehouse in front of Xingyun.
But Taoye just stood with his head lowered and did not immediately reach out to pick it up.
"this……"
Zhao Jin looked at Xingyun with confusion.
Xingyun thought Taoye was still trying to push back, but when he was about to speak, a soft but calm voice sounded beside him: "Thank you, Manager Zhao, for sending me the key to this warehouse early in the morning. I have never been in charge of general affairs before. I don't know." The doorway here!"
It turned out that he wanted to show some humility in front of the Fifth Young Master's personal entourage. Zhao Jin's eyes flashed with disdain, but he still had a smile on his face: "The girl is smart and capable. She will definitely be able to take care of the affairs of this warehouse in the future..."
Before the word Zhao Jin was ready, Taoye raised her head and said with a smile: "But when I was in the main courtyard, I saw Mother Qin taking stock of the warehouse. The accounts of this warehouse are the most important!"
Hearing Tao Ye mention the accounts, Zhao Jin's eyelids twitched unconsciously. He looked up and saw Tao Ye standing in the corridor. He looked calm on his face, but in fact, the hand in front of him was unconsciously squeezing the handkerchief in his hand. son.
I secretly cursed myself for worrying too much. I am a married woman who only knows a few things about serving men. I have never been exposed to these mundane affairs. If I can think of the account book, I probably heard it when I was serving the wife in the main courtyard.
"Miss Taoye is really attentive. I just ignored it. Then you can take the key first, and I will ask someone to get the account book!"
The ledgers were all balanced, so Zhao Jin wasn't worried at all.
"Thank you, Zhao!"
Taoye nodded, skipped the key presented by Zhao Jin and headed to the west wing.
"Miss Taoye, this key..."
Zhao Jin was stunned and shouted hurriedly.
"Yesterday, the fifth young master told me that there are many valuable things in the warehouse, which I must not ignore. It is better for me to take a look at the account books first, to get a rough idea, and to feel confident before I take the key. I will not be able to ignore it in the next few days. Please work harder, Manager Zhao!"
Taoye turned around and said politely.
Zhao Jin is naturally willing to let him take care of the warehouse for a few more days. The day after tomorrow is the fifth young master's birthday, and there will be a lot of gifts in the warehouse. He can do some more tricks, but this time he doesn't have to worry so much, anyway. From now on, Tao Ye will be in charge. Even if the fifth young master finds out, he is not the one who should be responsible.
But he still had to save face, so Zhao Jin looked at Xingyun questioningly.
"Just Miss Taoye's!"
Xingyun now looks at Tao Ye in a different light.
The first time you encounter something unfamiliar, you can handle it in an orderly manner.
This person is also liked by the fifth young master. It would be nice if his status was higher.
"Well, I will take care of the girl for a few more days!"
Zhao Jin happily took the key back and immediately ordered the boy to go to his room to get the account book.
A quarter of an hour later.
West wing.
"What's your order, girl?"
Mrs. He bowed humbly and asked cautiously.
She was bullied severely in the dressing room, and now that she has come out, she is still too groveling. Taoye and Nanyun have said this several times, but her temper has been developed over many years and it is difficult to change it in a short time.
Taoye and Nanyun just let her go. Anyway, no one is bullying her in the yard now.
"I heard from the Fifth Young Master that Mother He is very capable of managing the general affairs. Yesterday, the Fifth Young Master handed over the warehouse in the yard to me. Mother He taught me what I need to pay attention to when managing the warehouse!"
Taoye motioned to Nanyun to help the person sit down, then leaned forward and spoke.
"This...I did know a few things before, but it's been almost ten years, and I'm probably already unfamiliar with it..."
"No matter what, you are better than me. You also know that the fifth young master has a distinguished status and the things in the warehouse are all valuable. If something goes wrong because of my poor management, I will definitely be punished!"
"Besides, in my capacity, if I let other people in the house teach me, regardless of whether the experienced housekeepers are willing to do it, others will gossip about the fifth young master and teach a housekeeper in such a serious manner. !”
Taoye spoke very slowly, without any intention of forcing her. She just talked about her difficulties. As expected, Mrs. He's face began to relax.
"Mom, the girl is kind to us, so please help her. She has a few trustworthy people in this house!"
Nan Yun also advised from the side.
"I have to look at the warehouse's account books first..."
