Tao Zhimo thought about it and said with a smile, "No, I'm a little tired, let's go shopping." ”

"Sister," Tao Zhijin suddenly stepped forward and took her hand, "Your Xiaoxiao Courtyard, I didn't want to live in it, but ......," she said, her face was embarrassed, "why don't you move back." ”

Tao Zhimo smiled as if he didn't care, "No need. It's too big there, and it's a little empty to live in. ”

Tao Zhijin knew what she meant, so he could only laugh at it.

Luo Yaosi looked at the two of them, if she didn't have any feelings for Tao Brocade before, then she had it now. She saw a little bit of a pretentious gesture. In this case, then she will come and meet her for a while, and play with this rich family that is as deep as the sea.

After Tao Zhimo returned to Xiaoxiao Courtyard, before he sat on the hot stool, Duyu came to report that Steward Zheng was here, and there were many maids and women behind him.

Tao Zhimo shook his head, drank a small half cup of tea, and then came to the courtyard slowly.

Steward Zheng looked respectful, without the slightest dissatisfaction from waiting for a long time, "Sixth Miss, the slave is ordered by Madame to equip your courtyard with a maid-in-law." "He has been in the back house for a long time, and he can be regarded as a good person, that Zeng Mama thought that he was a fox and a fake tiger in the house for a long time, and he really regarded himself as half a master. He still has a little bit of an eye, this sixth lady, I'm afraid that he is not the master who has to be easy to handle, he is better to take it easy.

"Well, how many people am I missing?" Tao Zhimo lazily answered, and Twilight helped her sit down on a stone chair in the courtyard.

Steward Zheng opened the roster in his hand and said seriously, "Because there is Miss Luo living in the courtyard, we need to send additional manpower, and we currently need to be equipped with two big girl rings, four second-class girl rings, six third-class girl rings, eight rough girl rings, and eight mother-in-law." After a pause, "Madame sent a first-class ring, two second-class rings, three third-class rings, and four each for the rough maid ring and the mother-in-law." After he finished speaking, he waved his hand, and the maids and daughters behind him immediately stepped forward, lined up one by one, and stood in front of Tao Zhimo.

The corners of Tao Zhimo's mouth hooked into a smile, so that at least half of the people around her were Mrs. Tao's people.

"The slave has seen Miss Six." The maids and daughters knelt down to say goodbye.

"Look up."

Tao Zhimo's eyes swept over their faces one by one, there were some fresh faces, but there were also some "old friends". In the four years in the prime minister's mansion in her previous life, she remembered them one by one.

"Madame has ordered, if there is anyone who is ignorant, Miss Six will send it away." Steward Zheng said with a smile on his face, "If the rest is missing, Miss Six will choose it by herself, and it is best to choose it together today." Ya Pozi is already waiting outside the courtyard, Miss, do you want to call in and take a look? ”

She is not sensible and sends it away at will? It's just a kind word, but with this sentence, she is really welcome, Tao Zhimo smiled faintly, "Okay, come in." ”

"Yes." Steward Zheng nodded, and then instructed the little servant behind him, "Let them in." ”

After a while, a forty-year-old woman with white powder twisted her breasts and fat buttocks into the yard, followed by a group of Yahuan women with their heads down.

Tao Zhimo stood up, shuttled back and forth between the group of them a few times, and when he returned to the stone chair, he stretched out his slender hand and pointed at some people casually.

It seems random, but in fact, the pottery and weaving foam are all recognized. Twilight told her that as long as she is a person who forgets Nan, she will have the symbol of a butterfly on her body. Some have a butterfly hairpin pinned to their heads; Some skirts have a colorful butterfly embroidered on the hem; Some have a butterfly tassel hanging from their waists; There are also grandmothers who have a butterfly bun combed on their heads...... But wherever there are butterflies, she stays all. It's just that, counting and counting, there is still a difference.

"Miss Six, there's one more missing." Steward Zheng also reminded.

Ya Pozi twisted her waist and stepped forward, smiling and revealing a mouthful of big yellow teeth, "Miss Six, look at these two maids, they were originally official ladies from big families, they know the rules very well, and it is not a problem to be a big girl!" You pick! As he spoke, he pulled the two maidens forward.

The two were silent, thinking that they had been rich and noble before, but now they were still a little arrogant.

Tao Zhimo looked at the two, "What's your name?" ”

"Slave Xiulin."

"Slave butterfly."

"Butterflies?" Tao Zhimo couldn't help but glance at her more, she was about fourteen or fifteen years old, she was born beautiful, and her figure was ...... It seems to be a little similar to her.

"I'm still missing a big girl ring, right, then you're done." Tao Zhimo was settled in one sentence.

"Yes, yes!" Ya Pozi smiled from ear to ear, this is great, the six people arranged by Mama Zeng on her side have all been picked, thinking of the surplus money that can be obtained later, her eyes lit up.

After the Ya Po and the idle people retreated, Steward Zheng asked the twenty-eight Yahuan women in her courtyard to line up and listen to Tao Zhimo's instructions.

"What's your name? In which yard was it originally in? Tao Zhimo said to the other big girl standing next to the butterfly.

"If you go back to Miss Six, the slave's name is Xiangning, and she was a second-class maid by Madame's side before."

"Oh." Tao Zhimo responded lightly, it seems that she is Mrs. Tao's confidant.

Tao Zhimo glanced at everyone again, the third-class maid and the mother-in-law, there was no need to deal with her on weekdays, and she didn't look much if she stood far back. She herself is face blind, she can't remember people's faces, and she can't remember the second-class maids in front of her, so she said a few words, and finally ordered, "In the future, you will be arranged by Duduyu." On the kitchen side, Mama Li is in charge. ”

"Yes, slave and maid obey." The maids and daughters responded in unison.

Tao Zhimo entered the house under the support of the twilight rain, and she would not kill the chickens and monkeys as soon as she came, she wanted to let them relax first, and then clean them up one by one.

As soon as she entered the house, Twilight closed the door, and Tao Zhimo immediately entered the inner room and sat down on the Eight Immortals Chair.

Here, when you get up and sit down, you have to be supported by a ring, as if you don't do this, you will immediately lower your identity, which is really unbearable.

It would be much better if there were all her people around.

Twilight Rain watched from the outside, and quickly walked into the inner room, and said in a low voice, "Miss, the people you picked are all right, they are all arranged by the second master, and the butterfly is their master, and they will report to the butterfly if they have something." Six of them were Lady Tao's men, including Butterfly. ”

"What?" Tao Zhimo was surprised.

"Don't worry, Miss, it's just that they think it's their person."

"Uh-oh." Tao Zhimo suddenly realized that now her people and Mrs. Tao's people accounted for half of them. No, she is slightly better in comparison.

She already felt that there was no need for so many idle people in her courtyard, and it would be just right to clear half of the fine work when the time came. What she was waiting for now was the purple lamp.

Purple Lantern was born in the family, two years older than her, and was her only playmate when she was young.

When she was a child, she not only did not have enough food and clothing, but was often bullied by her subordinates. Only Zi Deng not only did not bully her, but also secretly took some food from the kitchen for her.

Later, after she was favored by Nangong Ci, she immediately asked Zi Deng to be her personal big girl ring, and after that, Zi Deng almost became half a young lady in the house.

After the accident in Nangong's family in her previous life, Tao Zhimo begged Zilan to help her get out of the house. Later, when she returned, Purple Lantern was punished with her again. Next, the purple lamp in the difficult four years in the house has always been by her side, never abandoned, and it is not an exaggeration to describe the two as dependent on each other.

Even after she was included in the palace, she shared joys and sorrows with the purple lantern in those four years.

She had never suspected Purple Lantern, nor did she know when Purple Lantern began to betray her, and she still couldn't understand why Purple Lantern betrayed her. She asked herself that she had never been treated badly. She trusted her so much, but she had been lurking around her for so many years.

In the four years of the Prime Minister's Mansion, she pretended to be by her side. In the fourth year of the palace, she reported her every move to Tao Zhijin and her mother, and they conspired to design her to make her farther and farther away from Ah Ci step by step.

After being reborn, she thought about it for a while, the day after the accident in Nangong's house, she obviously went back home very early, and when she got home, it was not yet dawn, how could her mother wait for her in the backyard so early? I think I knew that she wasn't in the house a long time ago, and I couldn't help but want to beat her.

The most important thing is that after she finished the board, she told Zi Deng about the mountain temple, and begged Zi Deng to sneak out with medicine and food, but after Zi Deng came back, she said that the mountain temple was empty. It can be said that only she and Zi Deng know about the mountain temple.

After entering the mansion, she must have been dizzy, and she never thought about how Tao Zhijin learned about the mountain temple.

It's a pity that she didn't find out about these betrayals until the end......

At that time, if the purple lamp had not revealed Ananda to her...... When he brought the soup, would she beg him, telling him that she was pregnant with his child, and that she and Ananda were innocent.

If she says it, maybe he'll believe it. She clearly knows his temperament, as long as she is willing to show weakness once, maybe it will be enough. Maybe he'll forgive her.

But she didn't. Luozi soup swallowed, and it was over.

Thinking of the child who had no chance, Tao Zhimo's hand couldn't help but caress his lower abdomen.

"What's wrong?" Twilight asked with concern, "But Aoi is here?" ”

Tao Zhimo put away the sadness in his eyebrows, smiled and shook his head.

After a while, Luo Yaosi and Cai Wei returned.

"You're back," Tao Zhimo said with a smile, "and you're still going to be happy." ”

Luo Yaosi covered her mouth and smiled, "Your sister is going to keep me for dinner, but I still said that I have to help you massage it to get back." ”

"Oh? What do you think of her? Tao Zhimo raised his eyebrows and asked.

"It looks dignified and elegant on the face, and it has a forest atmosphere."

"Face? What about underneath? Tao Zhimo asked with a smile.
