Chapter 205: Skill (1)
Xiao Tao originally just wanted her to help herself, but seeing the smile on her face, her eyes were full of contempt and contempt, and she couldn't help but feel a tighten.
The cuckoo helped her and dressed her with great force, causing her whole body to stagger.
Seeing her so weak, Du Juan couldn't help but sneer again: "This will be the second young master is not here again, you don't need to pretend to be weak anymore, obediently put on your clothes, let's all save trouble." After that, he didn't forget to glare at Xiao Tao coldly, turned around and walked away.
Xiao Tao stood awkwardly, not knowing whether to leave or stay.
Soon, the cuckoo returned again, with a red-lacquered tray in his hand, and a white porcelain bowl filled with a thick black medicinal juice was placed in the tray.
Xiao Tao looked at the bowl of thick black potion and subconsciously took a step back, a trace of fear flashed in her eyes.
The cuckoo still smiled and said, "Girl, drink this bowl of soup." ”
"What is this?"
Seeing that she asked knowingly, the cuckoo snorted coldly in her heart, and said secretly: It's all here, what are you pretending to be innocent? So, he replied lightly: "Doesn't the girl know?" This is a decoction of contraception. ”
Contraceptive? When Xiao Tao heard this, her body trembled slightly, and she immediately turned around, without even looking at the bowl of soup, and shook her head vigorously: "I don't want to drink ......"
Don't drink? A sneer appeared at the corner of the cuckoo's mouth, and he said in a deep voice: "This is what Madame ordered to prepare, and the girl can't drink it!" ”
Xiao Tao still shook his head and said, "No, I don't drink, I have to wait for the second young master to come back." ”
Du Juan was a little annoyed when he heard this, and was about to open his mouth to reprimand, but he heard a sound of footsteps behind him, and hurriedly turned around, and when he saw that Zhu Jinlun had returned, he changed his gentle expression and said, "Young master, you are back." ”
Zhu Jinlun returned to the house refreshed, smelled the slightly pungent smell of medicine, and saw Xiao Tao standing by the bed with a panicked face, and suddenly understood a little in his heart.
The cuckoo eased up again: "Little Peach girl, you better drink the medicine quickly, so as not to delay the second young master's rest." ”
Xiao Tao hesitated, hurriedly walked to Zhu Jinlun's side, gently tugged at his sleeve, and looked like he wanted to speak and stopped.
For some reason, she was filled with fear of the bowl of potion, and it felt like she was going to drink some poison.
Zhu Jinlun looked at the cuckoo's face and frowned, "Who ordered this?" ”
Du Juan said respectfully: "Back to the second young master, this is the rule set by the lady." The little peach girl is not an aunt now, so naturally she wants to drink the decoction. ”
There are not many maids around Zhu Jinlun, in addition to cuckoo and peony, there are two second-class maids Jin Gui and Yueji. Among them, only Du Juan has served Zhu Nylon closely, and she was originally the most likely person to be raised as an aunt after Zhu Nylon got married.
Zhu Jinlun is about to get married, and Du Juan originally thought that as long as she waited for the second young grandmother to enter the door, she could become an aunt. But what I never expected was that a little girl of unknown origin would suddenly appear next to the second young master.
That girl is really attractive, but in the end she is also an inferior person who was bought, so she still looks down on her extremely in her heart.
Zhu Jinlun said lightly: "I think it's better to forget it, this kind of thing smells too bad, hurry up and take it down." ”
Du Juan was slightly stunned when he heard this, the expression on his face suddenly became complicated, and he boldly retorted: "Second young master, this is a rule set by the lady, and the slave and maid dare not disobey it." ”
She doesn't know how many times she has drunk such medicine. Because it was told by the second lady, she didn't dare to forget it once, but this would ......
Zhu Jinlun frowned and said, "Hurry up and take it out, and let someone prepare some supper." ”
The cuckoo's face turned pale, nodded as if nothing, and silently withdrew.
She gritted her teeth and walked all the way to the kitchen, and then slammed the bowl of potion on the ground, splashing the thick black liquid all over the floor, as if she had splashed ink on the ground.
Jin Gui, who heard the sound, was startled, and hurriedly went over to check her clothes, and said in a pitiful tone: "These clothes are dirty, do you want my sister to go back to the room to change her clothes......"
The cuckoo had a calm face, stood in place for a half sound and didn't make a sound, thinking that her hard work today was in vain, and she thought that as long as Xiao Tao was obedient and drank all the soup and medicine, then she could be completely relieved. Unfortunately, the girl was even more cunning than she thought...... And her bowl of decoction that she had worked so hard to prepare was naturally useless.
She lowered her eyes and looked at the stains on her skirt, and then said, "The second young master is hungry, let the kitchen prepare some porridge and order it, and I'll go change my clothes and come back." ”
Jin Gui saw that she had a straight face and looked menacing, and she didn't dare to ask anything, so she had to nod her head.
After she left, she immediately squatted down to clean up the mess on the ground, the smell of medicine was bitter and strong, and her nose wrinkled inadvertently, only to feel a little strange. This medicine doesn't smell like usual, and the smell is too strong......
On the other side, Zhu Jinlun looked at Xiao Tao with a somewhat uneasy look, and only patted her hand and said, "Don't worry too much about Fang Cai's matter." ”
Xiao Tao lowered her head and said softly: "It's the slave maid who doesn't understand the rules, which makes Sister Du Juan embarrassed." ”
She knew that this was the rule, but she always felt a little uneasy in her heart, not to mention, the attitude of the cuckoo towards her, so she was even more hesitant.
Zhu Jinlun smiled indifferently: "In the past, it was not as good as now, and if you follow me in the future, you will naturally follow my rules." Those Laoshzi decoctions, don't drink them. I'll talk to my mother about it when I get back. ”
Xiao Tao's heart was a little relieved when she heard this, and her face was a little better.
Suddenly, the maids brought shredded chicken porridge and a few side dishes.
Zhu Jinlun pulled Xiao Tao to sit down with her and asked her to eat something with her.
Jin Gui and Yueji watched from the sidelines, and suddenly understood in their hearts why the cuckoo looked so sullen.
The second young master has a new favorite, which makes her feel uncomfortable.
Although, everyone has been serving the second young master together for several years, but in all fairness, Du Juan is really a little inferior compared to the little peach girl.
The cuckoo is a little older, he is nineteen years old this year, and his body is not as slender as before, although his facial features are delicate, but compared with the beautiful little peach, he can still distinguish the superiority at a glance.
is the same as a subordinate, the height of the background is almost the same, and the only thing that everyone can compare is appearance and craftsmanship.
Craftsmanship is a thing that can only be seen over time, and only good-looking is a natural ability.
As the saying goes, you can't bite the gold halfway. Come to think of it, there is no need to wait for the second young grandmother to enter the door, and the cuckoo will no longer be as arrogant as before.
Xiao Tao eats very delicately, and like her appearance, she has a quiet temperament.
When Zhu Jinlun saw it, he pondered for a while, then looked at Jin Gui and Yueji, and ordered: "Go back and send a little maid from the courtyard to come over and serve Xiao Tao." ”
Jin Gui was stunned when he heard this, and nodded hurriedly in response: "Yes, Second Young Master." ”
Xiao Tao picked up the spoon in his hand, and then paused, only raised his head to look at Zhu Jinlun, and said flatteredly: "Young master, don't bother, how dare the slave and maid...... Slaves can take care of themselves. ”
She is not even an aunt now, and if she has to have a maid to serve her, wouldn't it be even more hateful. Moreover, even if a maid comes, she will not be convinced in her heart, let alone treat her as a serious master......
Zhu Jinlun rinsed his mouth with tea, waved his hand, and motioned for the maids to clean up the table.
Seeing this, Xiao Tao was about to get up, but Zhu Jinlun held his hand and pressed him back to his seat.
The reason why he did this was also to deliberately take a look at the maids around him and remind everyone not to snub the newcomer casually.
After a cup of tea, the table was cleaned up and replaced with new tea. Moreover, the redundant people in the house are gone, leaving only Zhu Jinlun and Xiao Tao.
The room was silent, and the atmosphere was ambiguous.
Xiao Tao felt a little restrained again, looked around uncomfortably, and heard Zhu Jinlun say, "You can stay and sleep with me tonight." ”
Although Xiao Tao lowered her head slightly, the shyness on her face could not be hidden, and she only nodded.
The two of them lay on the bed again, Zhu Jinlun directly pulled the quilt to cover himself, Xiao Tao honestly lay beside him, and also wrapped himself in the quilt, hesitated for a long time, then quietly reached out, slowly touched Zhu Jinlun's quilt, and gently held his hand. Immediately, she peeked at Zhu Jinlun, and saw that he was still calmly closed, as if he didn't feel anything, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
After a while, Zhu Jinlun's hand moved slightly, took her hand back, cleared his throat and said, "Sleep." ”
Xiao Tao was stunned for a moment, then smiled contentedly, tightened the quilt in her arms, closed her eyes and fell asleep.
Early the next morning, Zhu Jinlun made an exception and brought Xiao Tao over to greet his parents.
Seeing this, Zhu Jun's heart suddenly understood, frowned slightly, coughed, and then looked at his wife Chai, and secretly reproached: The son is about to get married, but at this time, he has added a new person to his side, in case the in-laws know, wouldn't it be more careful?
Chai Shi could feel her husband's gaze, but she didn't see it, she only looked at her energetic son and her little peach, and smiled slightly: "My son, why did you bring her?" ”
Zhu Jinlun said lightly: "My son brought her to thank her mother." ”
Chai asked knowingly, "Thank you?" What do you want to thank me? ”
Zhu Jinlun lowered his head: "My son Xie Mother is sincere, so that my son can hold the beauty as he wishes." ”
When Chai heard this, he couldn't help but smile, but Zhu Jun didn't smile, but the expression on his face softened a little, not as rigid as before.
"It's good if you like it, as long as you like it, my mother will never stop you. There is a lovely person next to you, and when I am happy to see you, your father and I will be happy. ”
