Soft and crispy waist

The distance between the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion and the Marquis of Anyang's Mansion is not far, but this trip seems to be particularly hurried.

Xia Zheng and the others stood outside for about a moment before setting off. They hurried along the way, but slowed down when they approached the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

Before he could think deeply, the carriage had just stopped in front of the mansion gate when he saw three tall horses coming quickly from the opposite direction from a distance.

The person in the lead had a graceful figure, standing like a jade tree and walking like a crane. Even when the horse was galloping at a fast speed, there was no sign of disorder.

Tao Yurong was being helped down from the carriage by Caiwei when she pulled the reins in front of the carriage and got off the horse.

She stepped forward and said, "Husband."

Is this the young master of the Duke's Mansion?

When Xia Zheng first saw him from a distance, she could only see his approximate stature, but she didn't expect that the real person would be even more handsome than she had imagined.

He has a thin waist and long hair, and his figure is as slender as a bamboo. He looks like a gentle gentleman, but he has a pair of phoenix eyes with starry stars, which are stern without anger. Just one glance at him can make people feel afraid and blush at the same time.

In an instant, Xia Zheng understood why they had to rush here. This was an opportunity for the four of them to show up in front of Gu Yizi.

"Your servant Qiu Ying greets the young master."

They were originally following Tao Yurong's carriage. Qiu Ying quickly jumped behind Tao Yurong, bowed with her slightly red face raised, and her watery eyes shyly looked at Gu Yizi from time to time.

Gu Yizi's eyes darkened a little and he looked at Tao Yurong inquiringly.

"These are the maids my mother sent to me. She said that I sent a lot of maids out a few days ago, and she was afraid that the people serving them would not be attentive, so she insisted on giving them to me. The same goes for the three behind them." Tao Yurong slightly turned sideways to allow Gu Yizi to look back.

Gu Yizi didn't look away, just nodded and said: "Since it is a kind gesture from my mother-in-law, you should keep it."

Tao Yurong smiled and nodded.

"There's no rush to be on duty today. Let's go to your courtyard and have breakfast together." Gu Yizi stretched out his hand towards Tao Yurong.

Tao Yurong lowered her head shyly, put her hand into Gu Yizi's big hand, and walked into the mansion hand in hand.

Qiuying took a step to follow, but the old woman behind her grabbed her wrist tightly, glared at her warningly and said something. Xia Zheng couldn't hear clearly, but she saw Qiuying's face puffed up, and she stomped her feet as she walked back and went into the mansion with them.

The Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion is more than twice the size of the Marquis' Mansion. The housekeeper, Madam Zhao, led her along the way and explained matters.

Now the Duke of Zhenguo and the third young master are stationed outside the border. The Duke's wife accompanies the Queen Mother to worship Buddha in Yunjing Temple all year round, and the young lady Tao Yurong is in charge of the household affairs at the mansion.

The young master has been marching and fighting outside for many years, so there are not many people in the inner courtyard. Apart from his wife Tao Yurong, there is only a concubine who was also born in a military family and a concubine who was promoted from the main room.

There is no young master in the mansion yet, but there is a fourth girl who has been studying with the princess in the palace since she was ten years old.

As second-class maids in Fanghua Courtyard, they can only move around in Fanghua Courtyard unless they have something to do outside.

Although there were many maids and servants in Fanghua Courtyard, the courtyard was large, with more than ten rooms in the back room alone. They shared a room with four people, and had bunk beds.

"You can take a half-day break today, and come back to me tomorrow morning to take over the errand."

The other three people said, "Thank you for your hard work, Ma'am," and each presented silver coins of varying amounts.

Despite the different amounts of money, Zhao Ma's expression showed no change, and she showed no intention of reaching out to take it.

Xia Zheng sniffed the ever-present scent of medicine, pondered for a moment, then removed the small silver lock from her neck and offered it to her. "Madam, I've been so tired today. I don't have anything nice on me. This is the little silver lock I've worn since I was a child. My mother begged it for me from the temple. I've never had any serious illnesses since I was a child, and I hope this blessing can be passed down to my children."

"It's just a layer of silver, and you have the nerve to show off." Qiu Ying could tell at a glance that it was copper covered with silver, and couldn't wait to expose it.

Madam Zhao glanced at the small silver locket, then at Xia Zheng, and reached out to take it, saying, "It's just a regular job, not hard at all. You ladies can keep the silver and money. As for this small locket, I'll accept it for your well-being. You ladies can rest and recover."

After smiling at Xia Zheng, Nanny Zhao turned around and walked out.

"This servant girl has never seen good stuff. She doesn't believe it when people say it's made of copper. She deserves to be doing chores at her age!" Qiuying complained as she stuffed the silver back into her purse.

Xia Zheng pretended not to hear and walked towards the lower bunk on the right.

As soon as he reached the bed, a bundle fell on it. "I want this."

Qiu Ying walked forward, pushed Xia Zheng away, and sat down, looking at her with raised eyebrows.

"Are you sure?" Xia Zheng asked.

"Of course! You want it? I won't let you! Don't even think about it, any of you! From now on, it's only mine!"

Xia Zheng said nothing. After making her own bed with the other two, she picked up the basin of water and went out.

Qiu Ying was puzzled. Why didn't she even try to grab it? She was even planning to humiliate her for not knowing her own limitations and not recognizing her own identity.

As I was thinking about it, a gust of hot wind suddenly blew towards me.

It was Xia Zheng who pushed open the window, and the door and the wind were in convection, and all the hot air was rolled over, or to be exact, rolled onto Qiuying's bed.

Her shop is the hottest spot!

It is hottest in summer and coldest in winter, and the thin doors and windows cannot block the heat even if they are closed.

She did it on purpose!

Just as she was about to open her mouth to curse, Xia Zheng had already left. She turned to look at Donglin. She had already put all the things on the table. Chunzhi had her head down with her back to her. Xia Zheng's upper bunk was empty, but she had changed it at this time. That bitch would definitely ridicule her with what she had just said.

Qiu Ying was so angry that she threw the things in her bag onto the bed one by one. She didn't notice at all that the eyes in the distance had already memorized their every move and immediately went towards the main house.
