Chapter 4: Spover

Sima Daozi spent 10,000 taels of gold to buy Tao Ge back to the mansion, this matter is not big enough, but it can be said to be small, but for some people, it is not a trivial matter.

There are countless Maiko in the palace, and they are worth about fifty taels of silver, and occasionally one or two are quite outstanding, at most only one hundred taels, and Tao Ge, an official slave born in a female Lu, is worth 10,000 taels of gold!

When the maid in the house heard about this, she always told the origin of Tao Ge mysteriously.

There are many people in the palace, and any news can spread in just half an hour, especially in a place like Nanyuan, where there are more than a dozen maiko, and the news is the most well-informed.

is also a maiko, and Taoge's worth is much higher than that of others, and she is afraid that she will inevitably become the target of public criticism.

Tao Ge went out of the Lisi Courtyard where Sima Daozi lived, and returned to Nanyuan leisurely, the palace covers a huge area, and the terrain on the house is also quite complicated, fortunately, her memory is not bad, and she faces south all the way, and she finally finds it back.

Unfortunately, when Tao Ge returned to Nanyuan, everyone happened to finish the meal, and she Tao Ge not only didn't have to eat, but also had to be excluded and ridiculed.

Tao Ge just entered the side hall, and all the dancers turned their eyes, and a woman in a magenta skirt stood up and looked at her from top to bottom, and then said with disdain: "Yo, this is the girl that the prince bought back with a lot of money, and she really has a bit of beauty."

The woman's words were slightly sarcastic, and Tao Ge saw that she was not good, so he didn't want to deal with her, just glanced at her, and then found a place to sit down.

Who would have thought that the woman would have to inch in, and said: "Our palace is full of beauties, and there are few people who don't know how to lift up like you."

The woman's implication was that she wanted Tao Ge to salute her, not to mention that Tao Ge was born with a proud backbone, and he would not easily bend his knees with others, not to mention that this woman and she were still the same Maiko of the palace.

"What does it mean to be lifted?" Tao Ge said, picked up the teacup casually, took a sip of tea, and then glanced at the girls, and said, "Do you have to be like them, serve tea and pour water for your old man, and stammer by your side every day?"

Tao Ge said, the woman was really angry, and was about to get angry, but the green-shirted woman next to her hurriedly attached herself to her side, and said: "Sister Yayu, you don't care what she does, she just gave birth to a beautiful face, who hasn't done it?"

Yayu knew that he couldn't get into trouble at the moment, so he suppressed the fire and echoed: "In our palace, it's not enough to just have a beautiful face, what kind of background are we, how can we not have a skill." As the so-called Chen Li is listed, if you can't stop, since we are the Maiko of the palace, this qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, you have to be proficient in everything, if not," Yayu said this, suddenly sneered, and then said: "What face do you have to stay here!"

Hearing this, Tao Ge sneered, stared sideways at Yayu, and she did not show weakness, and said sarcastically: "If you don't look outstanding, you naturally have to rely on your ability to get to the top."

"You! What do you mean! Am I not outstanding? Are you blind? Yayu was angry for a while, and everyone was busy pulling her down, Tao Ge saw that she was puffing up, so she stood up leisurely and said: "What are you so fierce, beware of the fat powder on your face, don't drop it, when the makeup is spent, you have to blame me."

Yayu raised his hand and held his cheek, so angry that he was speechless, so he flicked his sleeves and dropped the teacup and reprimanded: "You dare to humiliate me like this!"

"What don't I dare," Tao Ge said coldly, "It's you, who are ugly and dare to speak."

In fact, this Yayu is also beautiful, graceful, and charming, but the dress is too charming, which is really swaggering, so that people always lose that pretty and handsome atmosphere.

Yayu couldn't help but get angry, stretched out his hand and pointed at Tao Ge, with a posture of wanting to do it, everyone couldn't stop it, but Tao Ge didn't panic, if this Ya Yu hit her, she would definitely not have good fruit to eat.

Seeing that Yayu was about to rush up, he suddenly heard a woman outside the door say: "What is the noise, this formation, do you want to disturb the prince!"

Tao Ge turned around and looked out of the door, and everyone also looked at it, but saw that the woman outside the door had an apricot face and peach cheeks, a fairy and jade color, and she was born with a gentle and subtle appearance.

The woman was wearing a pine-colored skirt, her face was delicate, and her dress was quite elegant. His face was calm, and his tone was kind, but he also suppressed the situation in the house, and he was not angry and arrogant.

Yayu saw the woman, so he pushed away the person beside him, pulled up his collar, and then sneered, and said: "Ziji, it's not me who is causing trouble, you have to see clearly this form, who should be directed towards, you must think clearly, otherwise, you will stop meddling in your affairs, lest everyone be bad at the time!"

Ziji was always calm and calm, she entered the house and walked to Tao Ge's side, and said calmly: "I have thought it through, but I want to take care of this idle matter!"

The implication is that this Ziji is going to Tao Ge, Yayu is angry, but he also said calmly: "Our sisters have a deep friendship, you want to turn your face with me for such a girl who doesn't know what to do?"

Tao Ge sneered, Zi Ji said with a pleasant face: "You and I have a relationship that is not general, it is not a sisterly relationship, let alone a deep," Zi Ji said, and then pulled Tao Ge to reflexively walk outside, until the side of the corridor did not let go, Tao Ge sat down, looked at her and called: "Sister Ziji."

"I heard yesterday that you also entered the mansion, but I haven't seen your shadow all the time, and I thought you had any special treatment."

This Tang Ziji was originally also a person from the Yuanchun Pavilion, and he went to the mansion two years ago, and he and Tao Ge were also old acquaintances.

Hearing what Ziji said, Tao Ge smiled: "What other special treatment can I have, the only special treatment, I think it is that Yayu, fortunately, sister, you came in time, otherwise, I'm afraid I will be beaten."

Ziji sat beside her and said, "Don't pay attention to them, they're just jealous of your high value."

"Worth a lot?" Tao Ge smiled, but she didn't say anything, just a hundred taels of silver, she really didn't know where it was!

Suddenly, I saw that a group of maiko were out of the side hall, and walked along the corridor towards the south, Ziji hurriedly pulled Tao Ge to get up and follow, Tao Ge was confused, Zi Ji said: "The prince has arranged a lesson for us, and the time has come, you go with me."

Tao Ge didn't say anything, just followed her all the way, and when she walked to the teaching institute, Zi Ji suddenly stopped before entering the door, and whispered to Tao Ge: "This Xie Jiao has a strong temperament, and he is from a famous family, but it's not easy to mess with, don't make her angry."

"Thank you?" Tao Ge pondered: "Isn't it the Xie clan of Chen County?"

Ziji didn't answer, just looked at the top of the corridor on the left, and then gave Tao Ge a look, and whispered, "Here, let's go in first."

Tao Ge followed her gaze and saw that it was a woman about forty years old.

was looking at it from afar, and Tao Ge was dragged into the house by Ziji.

This Xie Jiaoxi was born in the Xie family of Chen County, and is the niece of Xie An, the second son of Wang Xizhi, the wife of Wang Xizhi, and the second sister-in-law of Wang Xianzhi, whose name is Xie Daoyun, and the small character Ling Jiang.

Wang Xizhi died of illness yesterday, Xie Daoyun, as a daughter-in-law, should be filial piety in the house, but she hated Wang Ningzhi's mediocre talent, and lived in her mother's house all the year round, even if Wang Xizhi passed away, she only went to Wang's house to mourn for one night.

Ziji deliberately arranged for Tao Ge to sit in front of her, she knew that Tao Ge was smart, but she was not a studious person, in order to prevent her from being bored and dozing off, Zi Ji had to watch her all the time.

But even if she watched it all the time, it was in vain, Tao Ge dozed off, but she didn't lie on her stomach, but she was supporting herself with one hand, her eyes closed, and she seemed to be sleeping very soundly.

Ziji sat behind her, and she didn't know she was like this.

It wasn't until Xie Daoyun walked in front of Tao Ge and looked at Tao Ge with his eyes down that Zi Ji realized that something was wrong, no wonder he couldn't hear Tao Ge's reading voice.

Xie Daoyun knocked the ring ruler on the bookcase three times, and Tao Ge woke up, just looking at Xie Daoyun in a daze, and without waiting for Xie Daoyun to open his mouth to reprimand, Ziji hurriedly relieved the siege and said: "Teach Xi, she is new and doesn't understand the rules."

Tao Ge was about to cater to it, but Wen Yayu said: "Why don't you understand the rules, don't listen to the class well, and just doze off can be called ignorant of the rules?" Teaching, I see that she clearly doesn't take you seriously. ”

Xie Daoyun glanced back at Yayu, then looked at Tao Ge, and said, "Go back and copy the Book of Songs twice, and hand it over to me tomorrow morning."

"The Book of Songs?" Tao Ge was stunned for a moment, paused, and said: "I have already memorized the "Book of Songs" backwards, I don't think it's necessary, but I am not very familiar with "Lao Tzu", teach and learn, can I copy "Lao Tzu"?"

Tao Ge was born in a famous family, when she was a child, she was in the Xiao family, but she also read books for a few years, "The Book of Songs" and "Lao Tzu", one is 39,234 words, and the other is only 5,0056 words.

She thinks so, but Xie Daoyun is willing to follow.

"Can't!"

Xie Daoyun turned around after saying that, Tao Ge listened to her tone that could not be denied, knowing that the matter was irreparable, and he couldn't help it for a while, so he said: "Then I won't copy it."

Hearing this, Xie Daoyun looked back and said, "Don't copy? It's okay if you don't copy it, go out and punish the station! ”

Displeased, Tao Ge stood up and walked outside.

"Taoge!" Seeing Tao Ge go out, Zi Ji hurriedly followed and pulled her, and whispered to her: "She was invited by the prince because she was good at talking, if you offend her, you will offend the prince, don't you want to stay here?"

"I ......" Tao Ge naturally didn't want to stay here, but in this situation, she probably didn't have anywhere to go.

Ziji said: "You are punished for copying twice, and I will help you copy it once."

Tao Ge was waiting for her words, Ziji said, she really smiled happily, said "deal", then turned back, walked to Xie Daoyun, and said: "Punish copying, punish copying, it's a big deal for people to stay up late, as long as you don't teach people to murder people, it's easy to say anything."

"Sit down," Xie Daoyun's gaze was not as sharp as before, and his words were a lot kinder.

"Thank you for the lesson," Tao Ge sat down in response, not forgetting to behave well.

Yayu sat in front of him, looking back at Tao Ge, suddenly raising the corners of his lips, revealing a smile, as if he was looking at something.
