Chapter 104: Come Again
Zheng Qiaoyan really lived here in Taoyao as she said, Taoyao persuaded her to go back several times, she used the excuse to delay, saying that she would stay for a few more days, and she would always show her determination to the family, if she went back immediately, she was afraid that her father would still not be able to speak.
Although Tao Yao didn't agree with this, she didn't persuade again, but just took care of herself and did her own needlework.
Zheng Qiaoyan looked at Tao Yao bored with needlework, stepped forward to take a look, and there was a pattern of Fushou peony embroidered on it, so she asked: "Congratulations?" Whose clothes are they? ”
Tao Yao lowered her head and continued to do embroidery, while saying: "I heard Xiaoyan say that it is the clothes for the birthday of the concubine of the Yongjun Palace." April 12th's birthday, now this job is very busy, Xiaoyan is really, I asked her to help me take a job, I didn't expect her to pick such a hurry, I have to stay up late these days to do it. But fortunately, the silver is given more. ”
Tao Yao said to herself, but Zheng Qiaoyan on the side froze in place, and slowly went to the bed behind her for a long time.
Originally, Zheng Qiaoyan was by Tao Yao's side every day, always chattering, and there was no quiet time in her mouth, but now it is rare that she didn't speak for half a day, Tao Yao shook her head, and thought that when she lived alone in this house, she was tired and raised her head slightly and twisted her neck, only then did she notice Zheng Qiaoyan lying on the bed behind her, Tao Yao was slightly surprised, got up and went over to check: "Went to bed so early?" ”
And Zheng Qiaoyan, who was lying inside, didn't reply, but her pillow was already wet with tears.
Tao Yao thought she was asleep, but she just lightly covered her with a quilt and went back to make her own needlework.
When Tao Yao's eyes were extremely tired, and the drum outside was beaten three times, he dragged his tired body to bed, but when Tao Yao got up the next day, Zheng Qiaoyan was no longer by his side.
Tao Yao asked Wu Yan, who came in to set the meal, and Wu Yan said, "Miss Zheng got up early this morning and went home." ”
Tao Yao nodded in response: "That's okay, I just hope that he can talk about everything with the family."
You don't have to go to the embroidery pavilion with me today, the livelihood you took is too tight, I'm afraid I can't finish it, you help me do it in the house, and I will share half of the silver, but I want my own life, and my eyes are about to be blind.
The next time you take the job, don't rush to take it with more money, and take it a little more lightly. ”
Wu Yan couldn't help but laugh when she heard this, Tao Yao is the most lazy, but this is also the difference between her and herself, she always wants to do more work and save a lot of money, but Tao Yao doesn't need it, she takes the job, just to pass the time.
"Yes." Wu Yan just smiled after all.
The past few days have passed very quickly, and Tao Yao'an is doing her needlework in the Purple Silk Pavilion, but she never thought that it would be someone from the Chu family who came to find her first.
When Tao Yao came back for lunch, Wu Yan said that the Chu family sent someone to deliver an invitation and asked Tao Yao to come over for a light meal at noon the next day.
Tao Yao opened the invitation and saw that it was the old lady of the Chu family who gave it personally, but this time it was different from the last time when she went to the Chu family's spring banquet, Tao Yao didn't have much joy, but was hesitating, whether to go or not.
In fact, these days, I took over the embroidery work of Zi Ya Pavilion, and I originally planned to keep myself busy, so I could find an excuse to push all kinds of entertainment, but for the invitation of the Chu family, Tao Yao actually wanted to go a little bit in her heart.
Or, she just wanted to see if the Chu family had anything else to say to herself.
Or, I want to see Chu Ping again.
Then, whatever it is, it should be clear and clear, and it should be cut off cleanly.
The next day, Tao Yao originally wanted to tell Wu Yan that she didn't need to have lunch, but suddenly thought about it, Zheng Qiaoyan didn't come back yesterday, not only did she not come back to find herself, but she also didn't know how she talked to her family, and she was afraid that she would be angry with her family again, and she wanted to come over to find herself for lunch, so she just let Wu Yan keep the food, if she suddenly came over, there was still food to eat.
He said to Wu Yan again: "I should be able to go early and return early at noon, if I haven't come back by night, you can help me take a leave."
If Qiaoyan comes, you will also leave her, saying that I will come back in the evening to have dinner with her. ”
Wu Yan responded one by one, Tao Yao went to the embroidery workshop to learn needlework, and at noon, after Master Liu left, Tao Yao did not stay in the embroidery workshop for long, so she went back to her house early, changed into a not too complicated and luxurious, but also very delicate clothes, dressed up slightly, and put on a lotus pink cloak and went out.
Tao Yi had already responded to Wu Yan's orders, waited outside the second gate, and helped Tao Yao into the carriage. replied: "At the girl's order, I got up early to prepare snacks from Xibao Zhai as a thin gift, and they were all placed in the carriage." ”
Tao Yao nodded slightly, but the so-called upbringing that she had carved into her bones since she was a child, going to the elders' house, no matter when, there was no reason to be empty-handed.
Tao Yi drove the carriage to Ping'an Lane, arrived at the door of the Chu family, handed the invitation, and the Chu family moved the threshold to let the carriage in.
All the way to the door of the hanging flowers, but there was no more obstruction.
Only a mother-in-law led Tao Yao into the inner courtyard, until Jia Le Tang, where the old lady was waiting for Tao Yao.
I heard from afar that the maid had spread the news that the girl from the Tao family was coming, and the old lady smiled and ordered someone to come in quickly.
The mother-in-law behind Tao Yao helped Tao Yao come in with a gift box, and the old lady saw it, pulled Tao Yao to sit on the Luohan couch next to her, and praised the dim sum that Tao Yao brought was what she liked to eat in her daily life.
I greeted Tao Yao for a long time, and praised her beautiful clothes and delicate headdress.
Tao Yao responded with a smile and asked the old lady An. The old lady ordered someone to set up a meal in the main hall, but Tao Yao found that Chu Ping was not at home today, and he thought that he was still in the library.
It was the old lady who called herself over for dinner alone, and when it was time to eat, the maid came to serve the clean hands, rinsed her mouth, and set the dishes and chopsticks, so she retreated, leaving only the big girl forsythia next to the old lady to serve on the side.
Tao Yao's heart sank slightly, only eating the food on the table, but she felt inexplicably familiar, the old lady smiled and said: "This is the food of Tianxianglou, I specially ordered someone to go to Tianxianglou at noon to call, Brother Ping said that you like the wine and food of Tianxianglou, is it delicious to eat?" ”
Tao Yao only responded when she heard this: "Mrs. Lao is bothered, I said why does this taste so cooked, it turns out to be Tianxianglou." ”
The old lady saw that Tao Yao's face did not change, and her words were also bright, and she was a little more bold in her heart.
The old lady continued: "A few days ago, the uncle and grandmother of the Qian family from Tianxianglou came to the Chu family, and I learned that you and this grandmother of the Qian family also have a relationship with the classmates of Zi Silk Pavilion. ”
Hearing this, Tao Yao only nodded in response: "Yes." ”
