Yizhu asked with some curiosity: "Miss, why do you value that Yan Qiao so much?"

Hearing this, Chu Xiaoxiao turned her head, looked at Yizhu seriously, and said with a smile: "What's the matter?"

Although Chu Xiaoxiao said this in a joking tone, Yizhu was startled, and hurriedly said, "Xiao ...... Miss...... The slave and the maid don't dare, you treat the slave and the maid well, the slave and the maid know......"

Looking at Yizhu's appearance, Chu Xiaoxiao was a little surprised, and couldn't help but say, "I'm kidding, what are you doing?"

"Miss......" Yizhu didn't know what to say.

Chu Xiaoxiao helplessly reached out to grab Yizhu, and pulled her forward slightly, "I'm just joking, you don't have to take it seriously." ”

Saying that, Chu Xiaoxiao also reacted.

After all, Yizhu is different from Yan Qiao, Yizhu is the person who has served her since she was a child, and she has been a subordinate since she was a child, so naturally it is impossible to be natural to her like Yan Qiao.

"My dowry is all entrusted to you. Chu Xiaoxiao smiled slightly and said: "You are not young, I will let you out of slavery in the future, if you are willing to follow me for two more years, I will also promise you a good marriage." ”

Hearing this, Yizhu was stunned, looking at Chu Xiaoxiao blankly, unable to even speak.

"What's wrong?" Chu Xiaoxiao shook her hand in front of Yizhu, and couldn't help but ask.

Hearing Chu Xiaoxiao's voice, Yizhu instantly came back to his senses, and then knelt down with a "poof" without thinking about it, and deeply deducted a song towards Chu Xiaoxiao.

"Thank you, Miss, Miss, thank you, Miss......"

Yizhu has been Chu Xiaoxiao's personal maid for so many years, and she is also a smart person, so she naturally understands what Chu Xiaoxiao means.

There is a saying that it is better to marry a maid than a little girl.

It is said that the housekeeper who can follow the mother of the Gaomen clan, Chu Xiaoxiao will marry into the Jingwang Mansion in the future, no matter what the status of His Royal Highness King Jing is in the court, but it is always the title of the prince.

At that time, Chu Xiaoxiao intends to promote her and let her manage the accounts around her, and when it comes to getting married, it can be regarded as a qualification and brilliance.

If you can get rid of slavery, you may be able to marry a son from a poor family and become an official's wife in the future.

Thinking of this, Yizhu's whole person was extremely grateful to Chu Xiaoxiao.

Chu Xiaoxiao raised her hand slightly, helped Yizhu up, and said with a helpless smile: "No need, in the days before I got married, you still need to work more hard for the dowry." ”

"Yes...... Thank you, Miss, the slave will definitely do her best, and she will definitely live up to Miss's heart. ”

Two days later, it was the day of the funeral of the Lin Mansion, and it is said that Lin Zhen'er in the palace also went out of the palace to mourn for her mother, and most of the officials in the court went to the Lin Mansion to mourn. All of a sudden, the Lin Mansion, which was originally deserted, was quite a little more lively than it was on weekdays.

However, Chu Xiaoxiao didn't go to join in the excitement, and went to the military department after the morning court that day, and went to the Shence camp again in the afternoon, and arrived at the Jingwang Mansion in the evening.

In King Jing's mansion, Yun Ruochen looked at Chu Xiaoxiao helplessly, "Why are you here?"

"What's the matter, don't welcome me?" After hearing Yun Ruochen's words, Chu Xiaoxiao immediately sneered, and then strode briskly in the back garden.

When Yun Ruochen was born, Emperor Shengzhao had already died, so this mansion was given by the first emperor.

In order to show that he treats his younger brother well, the Jingwang Mansion is three points larger than the original Prince's Mansion in the capital, but now it seems that the back garden, which should be as beautiful as the mountains and rivers in the south of the Yangtze River, has been abandoned a lot.

"Xiaoxiao, what are you looking for?" After accompanying Chu Xiaoxiao for a while, Yun Ruochen couldn't help but ask again.

Hearing this, Chu Xiaoxiao immediately paused, grabbed Yun Ruochen and walked back, "Why don't you even have a ghost shadow in your mansion?"

On weekdays, Chu Xiaoxiao either came late at night, or came and went in a hurry, and he never paid attention to the scene in King Jing's mansion at all.

After walking around today, Chu Xiaoxiao found that this Jingwang Mansion seemed to be too quiet, because Yun Ruochen was very quiet on weekdays, so it wasn't until today that Chu Xiaoxiao realized that something was wrong.

Yun Ruochen shook his head, smiled lightly and said, "It's all eyeliner, it's not interesting to keep it." ”

Hearing Yun Ruochen's words, Chu Xiaoxiao thought about it seriously, and then smiled at Yun Ruochen, "Yes." ”

Yun Ruochen raised his hand and touched the top of Chu Xiaoxiao's hair, and asked with a smile, "Are you hungry?"

"Sort of. ”

As soon as the words fell, Yun Ruochen couldn't help but smile, "Then let's go to dinner, the meal is ready." ”

Chu Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up, and she didn't hesitate, and followed Yun Ruochen directly to the main courtyard.

In the main courtyard, the meal was ready.

In fact, Chu Xiaoxiao didn't like to eat the food of King Jing's Mansion, but liked to stay with Yun Ruochen.

Yun Ruochen was born noble and had a meal

"You eat slowly. Yun Ruochen held on to his sleeves, personally filled Chu Xiaoxiao with a bowl of soup, handed it to Chu Xiaoxiao, and said with a smile: "If you are in a hurry to eat, it is easy to hurt your spleen and stomach." ”

Chu Xiaoxiao swallowed the food in her mouth, and looked up at Yun Ruochen speechlessly, "Why do you talk like my father?"

Yun Ruochen shook his head lightly and smiled softly, "Xiaoxiao, Lord Chu is here for your good." ”

"Of course I do. Chu Xiaoxiao said without thinking: "But I think starvation hurts the spleen and stomach even more." ”

Hearing this, Yun Ruochen was stunned for a moment, and didn't know what to say for a while.

Chu Xiaoxiao is obviously a famous daughter from the Chu family, has she ever been hungry?

Seeing Yun Ruochen's blank expression, Chu Xiaoxiao became interested instead, and while stirring the soup in the bowl with a soup spoon, she looked at Yun Ruochen and said, "Hey, Yun Ruochen, do you know what the bark tastes like?"

"Bark?" Yun Ruochen was slightly dazed.

Chu Xiaoxiao said to Yun Ruochen with a bad taste: "The willow bark is bitter, the pine bark is astringent, but it has a very special fragrance, only the maple bark has no taste, but it is the same when you eat it in your stomach, I have eaten it before." ”

Hearing Chu Xiaoxiao's words, Yun Ruochen was even more puzzled, but his gaze at Chu Xiaoxiao became deeper.

Chu Xiaoxiao didn't seem to notice the strangeness in Yun Ruochen's eyes at all, and picked up a green bean with chopsticks and stuffed it into her mouth, "You don't know any of this, do you?"

Speaking of this, Chu Xiaoxiao paused for a moment, then lowered her voice, and said to Yun Ruochen mysteriously: "Many, many, many, so much...... There should probably be more than half of the Divine Strategy Camp. ”

"Xiaoxiao, who are you?" Yun Ruochen was silent for a long time, and finally asked.
