When that subordinate followed him to fight in the north and south, he was unfortunately ambushed by the enemy, leaving only this orphan girl, and before he died, he entrusted the orphan girl to him.

For so many years, Lu Jiuyuan has always left Le Yang in the Star Picking Hall to do things.

After Tao Yao listened, he said with some amusement: "I see that she is not young anymore, why is she not married yet?" ”

Since she is not an ordinary maid, when she reaches her age, Lu Jiuyuan should be able to find a suitable person for her.

Dong'er frowned and said: "The age is not young, this year is twenty years old, a few years ago, Guogong also asked her to be a matchmaker, but she refused, she said she didn't want to marry, Guogong saw that she was determined, so he didn't force her, she has been staying in the Star Picking Hall." ”

When Xi'er heard this, she couldn't help but say, "She doesn't want to get married, what does she want to do?" It's impossible to do things in the Star Picking Hall for the rest of your life, right? ”

When Dong'er heard this, she wanted to speak and stopped.

Tao Yao smiled: "What can't you say? ”

Dong'er hesitated, "If the slave says it, don't be angry, madam." ”

"I'm not angry, I promise." Tao Yao held up two fingers, looking serious.

Seeing this, Dong'er smiled, and then said: "Actually, everyone is saying in private that Leyang wants to make a room for Guogong, so he doesn't want to marry." ”

When Tao Yao heard this, the corners of his lips hooked, and he said in his heart, sure enough.

Xi'er said with some resentment: "I'll just say, she's not too young, and she still doesn't want to get married, she must have a plan in her heart, it turns out that Xiao wants to be our father." ”

Dong'er glanced at Tao Yao's face, and saw that she didn't look like she was angry, so she breathed a sigh of relief, "But don't worry, Madame, the prince can't look down on her, if she can see it, can she still be ruined until now?"

Yi Nuwen said that she was also a confused person, and the prince couldn't look down on her, so she had to rely on the Star Picking Hall to make people laugh. ”

Xi'er likes to listen to this, and then echoed: "I think it is the same, the prince has a high vision, and he will not take a fancy to an idle woman."

Only our young lady's heavenly posture can enter his eyes. ”

Dong'er said with a smile: "That's right, the slave maid has never seen such a good-looking person as Madame." ”

Although Tao Yao didn't care about Le Yang's existence, nor did he care about Lu Jiuyuan's attitude towards her, what the two maids said was really too good to listen to.

She reached out and pinched the faces of the two maids, "Your mouths are smeared with honey." ”

……

Lu Jiuyuan didn't come, and Tao Yao was happy.

After a leisurely dinner, he was about to go to the yard to swing, when the housekeeper asked to see him with a gift list.

"This is the old slave according to the instructions of the country, the prepared return gift list, please Mrs. take a look, if there is any omission, the old slave will add it."

Uncle Chen, the housekeeper, is over fifty years old, but his spirit is still strong.

Tao Yao took it and casually browsed the gift list, but was stunned by the number on it.

It's just a return ceremony, Lu Jiuyuan is too grand and formal, right?!

But perhaps, this is the normal specification of the relationship between the people of the state and the government?

Thinking about it, she didn't show the doubts in her heart, so as not to be said that she had never seen the world and was a child, so she just said: "That's it, no need to add more." ”

Uncle Chen nodded, "The old slave went down and prepared." ”

"There's Uncle Chen." Tao Yao nodded.

When Uncle Chen went down, Tao Yao sat in a trance, and then remembered to go on a swing.

After swinging for a while, she went to the pool to feed the fish for a while, and then slowly went for a flower bath.

Smelling herself, she happily rolled on the bed several times.

It was still early, she didn't feel sleepy, she remembered that before she got married, Tao Lian stuffed the book into her cage, quickly got up, found out the book, and then lay on the bed and read it.

After a while, Xi'er came in and urged her to sleep.

"Miss, it's not early, don't look at it, I've hurt my eyes carefully, and I'm going back tomorrow, so let's go to bed early."

Tao Yao was seeing the wonderful place, and when he heard this, he pouted, "Just let me watch it for a while." ”

Xi'er said helplessly: "You say to watch it for a while every time, but the result is endless." ”

"This book was borrowed from me by Tao Lian, and I have to bring it back to her when I go back tomorrow, so I must read it tonight." Tao Yao sighed and said distressedly.

Xi'er: "......"

You can use other excuses, she said.

But in the end, nothing more was said.

……

Following.

After Lu Jiuyuan came back from the next court, he first went back to the Star Hall to change his clothes, and then saw that the hour was almost up, so he went to the front yard to wait for Tao Yao.

But he had finished his two teas, and had not waited for the girl to come.

He frowned and looked at the servant who was waiting, "Why hasn't Madame come out yet?" ”

The subordinate hesitated for a moment before he said: "Ahead, my subordinates have already gone to ask, say yes, say yes ......"

"Say what?" Lu Jiuyuan asked in a deep voice.

"Madame, Madame hasn't gotten up yet?" The man bowed his head and replied.

Lu Jiuyuan was stunned, and his eyebrows crossed in surprise.

Today is the day to go back, why is the girl not active at all? Besides, it's not too early.

"Push again." Lu Jiuyuan commanded.

The subordinate had to nod and go to Tingfangyuan.

After a while, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he returned to the front yard.

"How?" Lu Jiuyuan asked.

"The subordinates have been urged, but the lady and the lady have only risen, and they may have to wait a little longer." The man replied.

Lu Jiuyuan was stunned for a moment, and then he felt a little crying and laughing.

Why is that girl still lying in bed like a child?

After waiting for another quarter of an hour, Tao Yao arrived.

"Uncle Nine, it's early." She yawned in bad spirits.

Lu Jiuyuan frowned, and asked in a deep voice, "Where did you go last night?" ”

"I didn't go anywhere, I was in bed all night." Hearing this, Tao Yao sobered up a little, blinked his eyes, and said truthfully.

She wasn't lying, she was in bed all night, but she slept at dawn......

When Lu Jiuyuan heard this, he didn't say anything more, got up and walked out, "Then let's go." ”

"Oh." Tao Yao followed him and walked out of the mansion.

The butler was standing in front of the carriage, holding the gift list, carefully counting the items, and when he saw the two of them coming out, he hurriedly stepped forward, "Duke Guo, Madam." ”

"Everything?" Lu Jiuyuan asked.

"It's all set." The butler replied respectfully.

Lu Jiuyuan answered, and got into the carriage in front of him first.

Tao Yao looked at the three carriages in front of him, lingered for a while, and finally turned his head and walked towards the second carriage.

"What are you going to do, ma'am?" Dong'er hurriedly chased after him.

"Take a carriage." Tao Yao looked at her strangely.

The corners of Dong'er's mouth twitched, "This car is for the slaves and maids, you and Guogong, take the one in front, and the last one, which is a gift for your mother's family." ”

Tao Yao: "......"

It was only after a while that she reacted and walked towards the carriage in front of her.

After boarding the carriage, she looked at the man in front of her and hesitated.
