"I'm a newbie here. I don't understand anything. I hope Manager Liu will remind you more in the future. I don't have any other merits. Thank you. If you really have something left, I'll be a housekeeper. I hope you won't dislike it."
Tao Yaoyao said eloquently, not sure if she was right or not, so let’s leave it at that! I was thinking in my heart,
"Nineteen Beauties, you're welcome. These two are proficient in this. What do you need to do? Leave it to them. I'll go next door to say hello first, and you guys will be busy first."
After speaking, Manager Liu left and went to the next yard.
Tao Yaoyao turned her eyes to the two of them, and they quickly saluted and introduced themselves:
"Little Yang Liang (Zhao Xi) has seen Nineteen Beauties."
"This courtyard is a problem for you two. Let me tell you how to repair this house."
Chun Xing was smart enough to get a pen, ink, paper and inkstone just now, and the ink was freshly ground, so it was coming in handy right now.
Tao Yaoyao glanced at Chun Xing appreciatively, then stood at the door and started drawing with some ink.
While they were drawing and explaining, Yang Liang and Zhao Xi didn't know much about literacy, but they could still understand the drawings, especially when the other party kept explaining, and they knew exactly what to do.
After a few people agreed, Tao Yaoyao stopped caring. Since there was nothing extra, she took Chun Xing to the next courtyard.
The person who opened the door was a little girl about the same age as Chun Xing. After telling her the purpose of her visit, she followed Lan'er into the yard.
"I am the eighteenth beauty of this courtyard, Mrs. Jiang. The nineteenth sister can be called the eighteenth sister."
The Eighteen Beauty Lady Jiang said with a smile. This title made Tao Yaoyao's teeth ache.
I don’t know what the male protagonist is thinking, but I have to say that these beauties are all really beautiful, exuding the charm of women from head to toe from the inside out, but also, several of them were given by others, and people want them. If you don’t look beautiful, people can’t do anything about it.
Think about the original plot where the eighteen beauties drugged themselves out of jealousy in an attempt to frame the heroine. Unfortunately, it failed and she ended up disfigured. Her personal maid was the one who betrayed her. Then look at the smiling face in front of her. Man, my mood is a bit complicated.
"Then sister, you're welcome. I have to disturb you for the next two days. I hope my sister won't be angry."
"Sister, I'm the only one in the yard on weekdays. I'm bored and lonely. Now that you're here, you can still chat with me!"
After the two exchanged compliments, they sat on chairs and started chatting. It was nothing more than daily life at their daughter's house.
Ms. Jiang likes to play with rouge and gouache, and she uses all the ones she develops herself. When Tao Yaoyao was in modern times, due to the popularity of short videos, the ancient style market was temporarily popular, so she also did some small research on these.
Time passed quickly as the two chatted. When it was time for dinner, Chun Xing and Lan'er both came to have their dinner.
One bowl of shredded chicken porridge per person, and two side dishes to go with the porridge.
Mrs. Jiang actually ate the food deliciously, but Tao Yaoyao was not satisfied. She is a person with heavy taste, and her appetite is not small. This bowl of porridge is enough for anyone.
"My sister is laughing at me. My sister thinks this dinner is a bit too little. What should I do if I get hungry at night?"
"Well! Isn't there enough food here, sister?"
Mrs. Jiang looked at her bowl. She couldn't finish such a big bowl. Of course, the extra food would be given to Lan'er, which meant that this bowl was enough for two people, but she also knew how much food each person could eat. different,
He glanced at the newcomer in front of him and glanced sympathetically at Chun Xing next to him. This girl probably didn't even eat lunch!
He immediately explained the dietary rules. After Tao Yaoyao understood, he stopped talking and ate his meal silently.
Tao Yaoyao glanced at Chun Xing who was standing beside her in shock.
"You girl, here, you can eat these, you are really stupid."
"My little master and slave, you are not hungry. Just eat well."
Chun Xing didn't dare to bring it over to eat, so she quickly said, but how could she possibly outsell Tao Yaoyao? In the end, she moved it aside to eat.
Only then did Tao Yaoyao realize why she had picked up a pair of bowls and chopsticks when she picked up the package just now. Feelings were her job.
Tao Yaoyao was a little embarrassed and a little angry, but she had better let that fool eat the food quickly! I should have known more about the rules. I think Aunt Song felt it was too late yesterday, so she didn’t say so much.
I blame myself for being careless. I didn’t expect to have to eat like this. What does this mean? Even if you don’t have any distinction between master and servant, you should at least give me more food!
He's a soft-spoken person, and he's just here, so he really can't do anything to the other party? But at least I can build a small kitchen, and I will definitely not be hungry again in the future.
Thinking of this, Tao Yaoyao realized that the layout of this yard was the same as hers.
The difference is that there are more flowers, plants and trees, and they are very lush. Jiang was given to the male protagonist by her family, but the lintel is too low and the cost will be even greater if she enters the palace.
So Ms. Jiang didn’t have spare money to build a small kitchen, so she could only eat in the big kitchen.
"The rouge made by my sister is very good, don't you have any ideas?"
Tao Yaoyao patiently looked at the floating clouds in the sky and waited for the other party to finish eating, then asked curiously,
"My sister means that I will make this and sell it, but this is not good! If anyone finds out, I will be punished."
Tao Yaoyao was speechless for a moment. She just thought about selling money, but forgot about her current situation. If she could, she would have done this long ago. After all, no one is a fool?
"Sorry, I was abrupt."
Tao Yaoyao felt a little embarrassed and said,
"I don't blame my sister. I know that my sister is doing it for my own good, but there is no airtight wall in this world, so let's forget it! My life is pretty good now."
With a faint smile on her face, Mrs. Jiang said nonchalantly,
Tao Yaoyao was afraid that she would make a mistake if she said too much, so she chose other topics to talk about, such as the flowers and plants in the yard.
When Jiang mentioned the flowers and plants in the yard, her smile deepened.
After all, she planted every flower and plant with her own hands. Some of the flowers and plants were found after specifically asking Butler Liu for help.
Time flies by in an instant! Tao Yaoyao stayed with the Jiang family for half a month. During this half month, she also fully understood the rules of the palace.
And Tao Yaoyao had a thorough understanding of where beauties like them could and could not go, and even how to respond when facing the prince.
Of course, I have also met several other beauties in the past half month. On weekdays, these people spend their time in their own yards.
Occasionally we would meet up in the garden to chat or something to pass the time.
As for the dire straits in the original work, you just pinch them when you meet them. Anyway, we didn’t meet Tao Yaoyao. Maybe it’s because the plot didn’t develop to that point.
Or maybe it’s because the prince never came back, leaving these women with no excuse to attack others.
All in all, Tao Yaoyao had a relaxing and comfortable 15 days and had a good relationship with Jiang, the ten-person beauty.
