Mrs. Du stretched out her hand and said gently, "Get up quickly, don't be polite." After that, he beckoned Xiao Tao, "Come, come and let me see." ”

Little Peach stood up. Only then did he dare to take a closer look at Mrs. Du. Mrs. Du is thin, and her eyebrows and eyes are somewhat similar to Zhao Kuangyi, but she is more kind. A light brocade robe, showing the richness and luxury. Mrs. Du is well maintained, and her whole body exudes a faint grace and nobility. Xiao Tao's nervousness faded a little, but then a lot of awe rose, such a bearing, at first glance, it is not an old lady who has never seen the world in a small family, but a calm and relaxed spirit that has been practiced after rich experience. Xiao Tao took a few steps forward to Old Madam Du and lowered her head.

Mrs. Du picked up Xiao Tao's hand and looked at it carefully. smiled gently: "He looks so handsome, his hands are also soft and soft, he is good at keeping money, and he is a blessing." ”

Xiao Tao heard Mrs. Du's words. The heart is more steady. Praise a woman for being beautiful, gentle, and talented, but after all, it can't be compared to a sentence of "Wangfu" to make people more stable. Xiao Tao showed a shallow smile: "Thank you, old lady." ”

Old Madam Du patted Xiao Tao's hand, and then smiled: "It's just too thin." These days with me, I let the kitchen cook more good dishes, just to raise a good one. ”

Old Mrs. Du's words made Xiao Tao's apprehension and a trace of awe disappear completely, and the woman in front of her was more like a loving mother, moving her concern for Zhao Kuangyi and Wudi to her. Xiao Tao, who hadn't felt this admiration for a long time, felt a stir in her heart, and this time she knelt down sincerely: "Thank you, old lady." Little Peach is inexhaustible. ”

Mrs. Du pulled Xiao Tao up: "One family, don't talk about two families." The West Courtyard has been cleaned up, you go over with the next person to see if you like it, if you need anything, just look for me, or find Lan Gu. He gestured to a woman beside him.

Xiao Tao looked over. The one named Lan Gu is also an old woman in her fifties, who must have served the old lady for many years. Xiao Tao bowed her knees slightly, Mrs. Du's carefulness and thoughtfulness were something she didn't expect.

Bidding farewell to Mrs. Du, under the leadership of the subordinates, Xiao Tao arrived in the West Courtyard. This is compared to where Mrs. Du lived. It's a little bit farther away. Not only are the eaves much lower, but the layout in the courtyard is simpler. Xiao Tao didn't care about this, the decoration in the house was simple and elegant, and Xiao Tao already felt very warm. The subordinate who brought her here gave a few brief explanations and went out. Xiao Tao was lying on the bed, a little lazy, and the baggage and things she brought had not been packed, and she was already groggy and asleep.

looked at the figure of Xiao Tao walking out. Lan Gu asked Old Madam Du, "What do you think of her?" ”

Old Madam Du's brows frowned slightly, but she didn't say anything. She didn't like this woman in her heart, her chin was pointed and short, and she didn't look blessed. has a bewitching figure, worthy of being an official prostitute, and the twist is full of a state of hooking a man, and the look of low eyebrows and pleasing to people's eyes is also low enough. But she has never been a mean person, especially this woman is Kuang Yi's heart, so she has twelve points of dislike, and she has to make six points of like. Old Madam Du rubbed her eyebrows: "It's not good." But fortunately, it doesn't look like a difficult one. Bring the Concentration Pill. In the future, the kitchen will bring the meals to her room, and there is no need to eat them together. ”

Lan Gu knew in her heart, it seemed that this woman did not please the old lady.

Xiao Tao woke up after taking a nap in the room, the sun was already in the west, I don't know what was going on recently, Xiao Tao always felt bored, lazy and didn't want to move. Just as she was about to get up and go to the old lady's house to say hello, the next person had already come in to serve, and told the old lady that the old lady had ordered someone to prepare a meal for her, and it would be delivered in a short time. Xiao Tao was even more moved. Low and especially dead.

Xiao Tao lived in Mrs. Du's house for a few days, went to greet the old lady every morning, accompanied the old lady in the garden in the morning, talked and chatted, returned to her house at noon to eat, wrote and practiced dancing in the afternoon, and had dinner in the house in the evening. Day after day.

Mrs. Du also didn't have a lot of rules and requirements for her to abide by. Such a day is much easier than Komohara thought. He and the old lady gradually became familiar with it, and would take the initiative to tell the old lady about some things about her and Zhao Kuangyi, such as Zhao Kuangyi taking her to seek medical advice, such as the old lady Du who went into the mountains to help Zhao Kuangyi find the five fire land Xuanshen to listen to was sometimes nervous and sometimes angry, but she kept smiling on her face.

After a few days like this, Xiao Tao has begun to get used to life here. Zhao Kuangyi wrote a letter back, saying that before the mausoleum, officials checked the situation of the mausoleum and found that several mausoleums were filled with water, and the emperor ordered urgent repairs. It is expected to be back more than a month late.

Old Madam Du sighed: "It's going to be too late again." When replying, I asked Xiao Tao if there was anything else to write. Xiao Tao only smiled faintly and shook her head: "Everything is fine here, the old lady will return to her son." ”

The letter to Zhao Kuangyi was sent back, and Mrs. Du smiled at Xiao Tao and said, "Kuangyi will take more than two months to leave." Another month longer than previously expected. You're going to have to spend some time with me, the old woman. ”

Xiao Tao lowered her head and smiled: "The old lady said that she was joking, it was the old lady who took care of me." This is the blessing of the little peach. If you stay in the house by yourself, you won't be able to sleep well even if you're scared. ”

Old Madam Du smiled and nodded: "It's the truth when you say that." It is also inconvenient for a woman to guard a mansion. Saying that, he sighed and said to Xiao Tao, "Actually, Xue Chan is also alone in the house." ”

Hearing Fu Xuechan's name, Xiao Tao's heart shook suddenly. The impression of Fu Xuechan is still a few years ago, at the cold and arrogant glance in the Zhao family's old mansion. What is the situation now, Xiao Tao never dared to think about it. Is it just Fu Xuechan in the house? In the few words that were received in her ears before, hasn't she always been in the mansion of her mother's family, King Wei?

Seeing that Xiao Tao was silent and looked puzzled, Mrs. Du continued: "Originally, she lived in the Wei Wangfu, but after all, she became a relative, how could she live in her mother's house for a long time, and now Kuang Yi is also back, and it is obviously impossible to live in the Wei Wangfu again, so I made my own decision and took her back to the mansion." I thought that Kuang Yi would come back in a few days, but I never thought that the repair period would be delayed for more than a month. This time let Xue Chan be alone in the house, but it's not mine. ”

Xiao Tao didn't know how to answer, but just looked at Mrs. Du, her palms clenched tightly. Old Madam Du took Xiao Tao's hand and smiled: "Why are you so nervous?" Speaking of Xue Chan, she felt awkward? ”

Xiao Tao hurriedly shook her head: "No." "She is just an unidentified wife and concubine, what qualifications does she have to talk about Zhao Kuangyi's wife? That's not the way she should be. Xiao Tao tried her best to squeeze out a smile and added in a low voice, "That's what the old lady said." ”

Old Madam Du looked approving, and said to Xiao Tao: "I have an idea. Now Xue Chan is also a person in the house, it is better to bring her here, and she will be more relieved and down-to-earth when she comes, and it will be easy to explain to King Wei; Second, there are many people in the house, and it is also more lively. As he spoke, he patted Xiao Tao's hand, "The most important thing is that sooner or later it will be a family, and you should get along with her earlier, and you will be more harmonious with each other in the future, what do you say?" ”

Xiao Tao's head exploded with a bang, Fu Xuechan is also coming? Xiao Tao's heart panicked, facing Zhao Kuangyi's wife, Xiao Tao had a feeling of wanting to pull out her legs and run away. I knew that Fu Xuechan was coming, and she wouldn't come anyway. But this matter, I came first, and now Mrs. Du proposed to take Fu Xuechan over, and the reason is very sufficient, how can Xiao Tao have the right to put her beak. But God knows how uneasy her heart was. Xiao Tao couldn't help biting her lip and subconsciously shaking her head, seeing Mrs. Du's inquiring gaze, she suddenly woke up, and smiled reluctantly at Mrs. Du: "Xiao Tao obeys the old lady's arrangement." Whatever it is. ”

Old Madam Du smiled and nodded: "You are also a good boy with general knowledge." As he spoke, he squeezed Xiao Tao's hand, "I heard that you have a bad appetite and eat very little, but the food in the house is not to your liking?" ”

Xiao Tao hurriedly shook her head: "No." Recently, it has been cold, and I can't eat anything. It will be fine after a while. The old lady's concern made Xiao Tao's worried heart calm down a little, in the old lady's house, the old lady Du is so kind and kind, Fu Xuechan shouldn't embarrass herself much. Thinking like this, my heart also stretched a little.

Mrs. Du is also resolute in her work. Just finished saying that he was going to pick up Fu Xuechan over, and in less than two days, he had already notified Xiao Tao Fu Xuechan that she had arrived.

Fu Xuechan's pomp is different after all, different from Xiao Tao's small sedan chair, Fu Xuechan sat in a carved sedan chair carried by six people, and carried a lot of things in the back, and the long line was discharged two miles. I heard that these are all things that Fu Xuechan commonly uses. Xiao Tao couldn't help but speak, it was hard for her to imagine what kind of life it was, and she could use so many things every day. It's like yourself, a few changes of clothes, two boxes of rouge gouache, that's all.

Fu Xuechan's team, at noon, walked into Mrs. Du's mansion from the main entrance, Xiao Tao stood on the porch on one side, watching Fu Xuechan, who was wearing a big red skirt, step down from the sedan chair, with a frosty and arrogant face, and her heart was terrified. This eldest lady is just afraid that it will not be easy to get along.

Fu Xuechan went to the backyard to salute Mrs. Du and greeted some homely things, Mrs. Du looked at Fu Xuechan and said with a smile: "I think you have also heard that Kuang Yi is outside, and there is another concubine room, but he has not officially passed the door." ”

A layer of mocking coldness appeared on Fu Xuechan's face, and she hooked her lips shallowly, but she didn't say anything to Old Madam Du, just nodded.
