Chapter 19: Discord
In the early morning of the next day, Tao Ge had just finished dressing up, and was chatting with Zi Ji, when she suddenly heard a soft call outside the door: "Tao Ge girl," she was a little impatient, and followed the prestige to see that it was a little maid, and the little maid said respectfully: "The third aunt is invited." ”
"Third aunt?" Tao Gexiu's eyebrows furrowed slightly, she knew that Sima Daozi had two concubines in addition to the princess, and this third aunt should not be the Liu family.
The little maid nodded in agreement, "Yes, you can go with the servant." ”
Tao Ge had not stood up yet, and he had no intention of passing it over, Zi Ji had doubts and asked, "What is the matter with the third aunt calling Tao Ge?" ”
The little maid pretended to be thinking, only blinked her eyes, and replied: "The maid doesn't know very well, the third aunt only said to invite Miss Taoge to come over and see one thing." ”
This is, of course, nonsense.
Tao Ge secretly thought about it, looking at this little girl's polite appearance, in fact, I don't know what kind of crooked idea she has in her heart, thinking that she has never crossed paths with the third aunt, why did she invite her over, just to see something!
However, although the comer is not good, it is not easy to avoid it.
Thinking of this, she stood up and was about to go out, Ziji grabbed her sleeve from behind her, she looked back, only to hear Ziji say in a low voice: "Be careful." ”
Can make Ziji so nervous, it seems that these three aunts are not easy to mess with, Tao Ge smiled back at her, hinting that she was relieved, and then followed the maid towards Xiyuan.
At this time, Xiao Shi was lying on the soft couch on his side, waiting for Tao Ge to come over, but he saw another maid walk in, holding a letter in her hand, walked up to her, and said, "Aunt Xiao, the letter from Lanling said that it was from the sixth uncle." ”
"Sixth uncle?" Xiao Shi was a little suspicious, his face clearly showed a little disgust, and he only said: "What kind of moth is he playing!" ”
The maid said: "The maid doesn't know, but this letter was sent by the post station overnight, and it seems to be in a hurry." ”
Xiao Shidai's eyebrows condensed slightly, raised her hand to take the letter, opened it and saw that she sat up in shock, and took the letter for a while, the letter read: "The main mother is seriously ill and bedridden, I am afraid that I can't stay in the world for a long time, you are the eldest granddaughter, you should be filial, see this letter, go home quickly, don't delay!" ”
Seeing the situation, the maid hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Aunt Xiao, what's wrong with you?" ”
"Xiao Jia...... Something happened to the Xiao family," Xiao had already stood up and walked outside, and ordered in a panic: "You prepare the carriage quickly, I have to go back." ”
When the words fell, Xiao Shi had already walked out of the door and was walking towards the gate of the palace, and the maid also went out one step ahead of her, and hurried to the stable of the palace.
It's really unfortunate that when Tao Ge followed the little maid here, Xiao Shi just left.
If Xiao Shi left one step later, or if Tao Ge was in Nanyuan without the slightest consideration, and directly followed the maid over, then the two sisters would definitely be able to recognize each other!
But the two sisters still passed by, or perhaps, it was just that the time had not come......
The little maid led Tao Ge into the house, but she didn't see Xiao, so she asked others and said, "Where is the third aunt?" ”
"I just received a letter from my mother's family and left in a hurry."
Tao Ge was displeased, and just took this opportunity to demonstrate, so he said angrily: "You are playing me? ”
The little maid hurriedly explained, "No, no, no, Miss Taoge, you misunderstood." ”
Tao Ge didn't listen to her explanation, turned around and was about to leave, but suddenly heard someone not far away saying cool words, and only said, "Yo, isn't this Tao Ge girl." ”
Hearing this, Tao Ge stopped, looked sideways, and saw that it was Liu, who was walking towards her, and said with a smirk: "What kind of wind blew you here?" ”
"Aunt Liu's words are serious," Tao Ge also replied to her, "I'm just walking around." ”
Liu Shi had already walked up to her, seemed to catch her every look, and said with a smile: "Look at your puffing up, aren't you angry?" Say it and let my sister know, and my sister can make decisions for you. ”
"Aunt Liu is too worried, I am very happy today."
Tao Ge wanted to leave, but he heard Zhou Yuan's yin and yang weird and said, "This is what you want to go?" Why didn't you know how to salute when you saw Aunt Liu? ”
Liu Shi followed closely and said: "Zhou Yuan, what are you talking about, our own sisters, why do you need to care about those courtesies." ”
Sisters of their own? Tao Ge couldn't help but sneer, one of the master and servant sang with a red face and the other with a white face, and they really acted in a good show!
Liu's is like this, Tao Ge is really disdainful, she looked back and said to Zhou Yuan: "I have never bent my knee when I see the prince, why do I have to salute when I see Aunt Liu, you tell me, what kind of crooked reasoning is this?" ”
Zhou Yuan was speechless, and only said: "How big is the shelf of Miss Taoge, what is a famous trick!" ”
Liu also secretly hated, but he still suppressed the fire, pretending to reprimand Zhou Yuan, and said, "Zhou Yuan! You've gone too far! Tao Ge is no longer a trick now, she is the prince's guest, you should respect her a little! ”
This Liu family's words are clearly humiliating her!
Tao Ge naturally knew it, so he said: "It's windy today, Aunt Liu should go back to the house to avoid the wind, don't grind your mouth, and beware of biting your tongue." ”
Liu was already a little angry, and Tao Ge said again: "Tao Ge said this, not to offend Aunt Liu, but for your own good, whether you listen or not, it's your business." ”
Tao Ge said that, then turned around and left, leaving Liu and Zhou Yuan to grit their teeth, and a few maids in Xiao's house couldn't stand the ridicule.
Back to Nanyuan, it was breakfast time, everyone was eating, Tao Ge entered the side hall, Zi Ji saw her come back, quickly got up to greet her, looking at Tao Ge, there was always worry in her eyes, she asked: "Tao Ge, you came back so soon." ”
Tao Ge smiled slightly, and Ziji asked again, "What did Aunt Xiao do when you called you over?" Didn't you really tell you to look at something? ”
"When did my sister become so simple," Tao Ge said: "When I passed, the third aunt was no longer there, and the maids said that she left in a hurry because of a letter from her mother's family, and she didn't have time to explain anything urgently." ”
Ziji frowned slightly, a letter came from the Xiao family, and Aunt Xiao left in a hurry, could it be that something happened to the Xiao family......
Yayu sat on the seat and heard what the two of them said, and secretly speculated, she only listened to what Ziji said, and really thought that Xiao Shi called Tao Ge to the past, so she asked her to see some rare treasures, so she couldn't help but feel jealous, so she put down the chopsticks in her hand and said, "Yo, Sister Tao Ge is very capable, when will you climb Aunt Xiao again." ”
Tao Ge replied: "What's wrong with me climbing up to Aunt Xiao, doesn't my sister often stammer Aunt Liu?" ”
Yayu was startled, and the green shirt was also stunned, looked at Yayu sideways, and asked, "Sister Yayu, do you have a relationship with Aunt Liu?" ”
Tao Ge said: "It's not just a friendship, this friendship is deep, yesterday I also saw Aunt Liu reward Sister Yayu with two golden hairpins, why don't you see Sister Greenshirt?" ”
Yayu panicked, slapped the case, pointed at Tao Ge and said, "You don't want to sow discord!" ”
Tao Ge was full of disdain, and chuckled: "I'm afraid that my sister has a weak heart," and then turned around and went out.
The whole day was leisurely, and after dinner, everyone was taking a walk, but Tao Ge left the palace without saying a word.
