Rong Jiu's facial features are exquisitely handsome, especially when this person smiles sincerely, the gloom in his eyes is replaced by a brisk smile, which is enough to fascinate the woman, because it is really pleasing to the eye.
Tao Ye is an ordinary person, so naturally she is no exception.
By the time she recovered from that smile, she was already sitting on this man's lap.
"Are you testing me again?"
Taoye suddenly woke up from her short-lived obsession, but as soon as she moved her lower lip and wanted to explain, she saw that the face of the person in front of her did not have the vigilance and depth before.
Seeing the smile in the fifth young master's eyes, and recalling the tone of those words just now, Taoye always felt that he looked familiar.
Isn't this how she usually teases the little silver fox?
"I'm not afraid of ruining your business. Then you'll be angry and ignore me!"
Tao Ye has always been able to climb up the pole, and Rong Jiu has been doting on her these days. She has made several achievements, so it's okay to be a little coquettish, but it can add some fun.
Otherwise, the fifth young master would be bored by always looking respectful and obedient.
Tao Ye said this unintentionally, but Rong Jiu remembered that in order to stabilize Zhao Jin and Qing Xing, he had wronged and neglected the little maid several times. At that time, the little maid did not know the identities of these two people, and her eyebrows darkened.
This look in Tao Ye's eyes actually startled her, causing her originally relaxed eyebrows to return to their normal caution.
She was so proud of herself.
She can't grasp the fifth young master's true thoughts.
"Don't worry, in the future..."
Before Rong Jiu finished speaking, Nan Yun's voice sounded outside.
"Fifth Young Master, Sister Biyun next to Madam, come over and invite the girl to the main courtyard!"
"That slave went over first!"
Biyun arrived at just the right time. Taoye stood up from Rongjiu's arms as soon as Taoye stepped down, bowed respectfully and then left.
In the room, Rong Jiu frowned as he looked at the door where the figure disappeared.
Entering the main courtyard, as soon as Tao Ye bowed, Gu Yunqing gently called the people to his side: "The front yard is very chaotic today. Later in the evening, those young masters will be drunk and behave unscrupulously. You should still follow me." Stay safe and don't wait in front of the fifth young master!"
"Slave, thank you Madam for your concern!"
Taoye didn't expect that the first thing Madam said was these words, and she felt a little moved.
The more Gu Yunqing looks at the peach leaves now, the more pleasing they are to his eyes, especially when his son came to say hello this morning and mentioned yesterday at the hot spring village. Thanks to this girl's sharp mind, otherwise the cup of tea mixed with arsenic would have been drunk by his son.
What's more, with Qingmei and Qingxing in front of them, Taoye is more well-behaved and sensible in comparison.
"You still look bad. Biyun, go to the kitchen and give instructions. Didn't the Fifth Young Master send you some medicinal recipes a few days ago? Prepare one for Taoye too!"
Taoye hurriedly lowered her body to thank her. She always felt that the lady was treating her very gently today.
"There's no one around, so don't be polite!"
Gu Yunqing smiled with satisfaction when he saw Tao Ye's well-behaved yet delicate appearance.
"Yes, Madam loves you. Sister, come here and sit down!"
Huicao smiled and moved a round stool over and placed it next to Bixiao.
Taoye and Biyun served Gu Yunqing for lunch, and then persuaded Gu Yunqing to take a nap. At the beginning of the morning, guests from the front yard came one after another.
As the mistress of the Duke's Mansion, Gu Yunqing naturally went to the front to greet the female relatives, with Taoye and Biyun following behind.
"There are not many people around at the moment. Go and sit in the back. Otherwise, if you stand for a long time, your back will hurt and you won't be able to bear it!"
Song Yuewei, Mrs. Jiayuanbo, saw Gu Yunqing coming and rushed over to hold her hand and persuade her.
"It's okay. I just asked Taoye to massage it for a while, but I can still hold it for an hour!"
Gu Yunqing clapped the hand with the handkerchief and said something, then nodded and smiled at the ladies who had just entered.
Today, Duke Jingguo and Wei Mansion are holding weddings at the same time, and the guests on both sides are particularly distinct. Most of the people from the Prince's faction came here, and the people from King Yong's faction naturally went to Wei Mansion. Those officials who did not express their position and wanted to surrender They will also go to their respective mansions.
After all, the prince and King Yong will definitely arrive tonight, which is a good time to connect with each other.
But the Jingguo Duke's Mansion was more lively than the Wei Mansion, because everyone from the Sixth Guards to the Colonel and above was invited.
"No wonder he is so uneducated. It turns out he came from a martial artist's family. No matter what kind of shabby family he is, he can go out. He doesn't have many good clothes and his status is not enough. He just stays at home. Why go out and embarrass himself!"
"Madam, it was your girl who pushed my mother, why bother to hurt others again!"
Gu Yunqing and Song Yuewei were greeting people when a dispute came from a few steps away.
"Those are Mrs. Ping Ningbo's wife, Mrs. Xu, and her fourth lady?"
Song Yue slightly glanced at the arrogant mother and daughter and frowned.
"The other one is unfamiliar!"
Gu Yunqing has learned many times how her mother-in-law's family behaves. With so many guests here today, she can't just let others embarrass herself here.
The two looked at each other and walked over there.
"What does this madam mean? Although our husbands are low-level military commanders, they also have posts in their hands, so they naturally have enough status to come in!"
There were several women in ordinary clothes standing next to them, and one of them, a young woman with heroic features, spoke out.
"Forget it, don't cause trouble!"
"Mother!"
The young woman just now shouted from the side.
"Is Mrs. Ping Ningbo here?"
Gu Yunqing listened to a few words and stepped forward.
"I don't walk around much. Who are you two?"
Before Xu's mother and daughter could speak, Gu Yunqing politely turned to the person next to her.
"My husband is a lieutenant who works under the Duke of Guo. I have met Mrs. Rong!"
The young woman with a heroic look on her face saluted gracefully.
"I am also rich!"
The other woman was very restrained.
"Mrs. Rong, this is Captain Chang's wife and eldest daughter!"
The heroic woman added another sentence.
"Captain Chang? Are you the girl from the Chang family?"
Gu Yunqing looked at the neatly dressed young woman on one side.
"My little daughter, Chang Xiu, has met Mrs. Rong!"
Chang Xiu bowed to Gu Yunqing. She was not as graceful as those ladies from the noble family, but her neat gesture was pleasing to the eye.
"Get up, you're such a good boy!"
Gu Yunqing praised with a smile on his face.
Miss Chang, the second young master’s fiancée? Taoye looked at it from behind.
Dressed plainly, neither humble nor arrogant, with a look of perseverance in his brows.
"Sister-in-law is getting better and better at managing the house. Today, all the people in the mansion are distinguished and high-ranking officials. If you invite such an unworthy person to come in, you won't be afraid of undermining the dignity of the mansion!"
Although Ping Ningbo's Mansion has declined, with the family of Guogong Mansion here, the people in the Mansion are very arrogant outside.
