Chapter 2

Liuli lowered her eyes and took small steps along the corridor to the study. There was a strange boy guarding the door.

It's not necessarily a stranger. Liuli has been in the mansion for many years and everyone knows him. Because he serves his master, he can get a good impression even in front of the various masters in the Hou Mansion.

Everyone in the Hou family recognized her, both old and new. Because she was born with a good memory and a docile temperament, it was rare for everyone to feel friendly to her.

Every time I go there, I feel familiar.

If there are unfamiliar people, there are actually some, and that is the people around the prince.

The Crown Prince doesn't like others to dictate to others, and he requires strict rules for those below him. There are not many people serving him in the courtyard where he lives, and he doesn't have many interactions with other courtyards on weekdays. Therefore, everyone is not very clear about the people serving the Crown Prince.

The most well-known person is Shiqi who follows me at all times, and others call him Shiqi's little brother.

Shiqi and Shier are brothers. One is rarely seen outside the house, while the other is responsible for the prince's internal affairs.

Liuli and Shiqi have met several times. Liuli thinks that the other person is a kind and friendly person because he often helps bring things.

These two servants made her feel strange and familiar at the same time, because she had only glanced at them and never seen them again. They were servants in the prince's courtyard.

The two boys seemed to have been informed in advance. Seeing her approaching, the boy on the left took a step forward.

"But Miss Liuli?"

Liuli stopped and smiled without saying anything, her voice gentle, "Exactly, I just came back today, so I should be on duty."

She had a pair of loving eyes, but they were clear and sincere.

"The girl can go in, but the punishment from the two young masters, I hope the girl will not interfere and make it difficult for us."

"Of course, thank you both for the hard work."

Since he is a member of the prince's courtyard, I guess it is the prince's intention. The young masters are not afraid of anything, but they do not dare to be presumptuous towards this elder brother.

Not to mention that she would not help the young masters, even if she was willing, the two young masters would definitely not dare.

No one in the whole house dares to violate it.

However, the prince sent someone to supervise them. It seems that what the two young masters did this time was indeed inappropriate.

Liuli was a little helpless. For a maid like her who was serving the young master, if the young master made a mistake, they would also be punished. This time she was lucky. If something happened at home, she would not be punished, but the person she was serving was...

She recommended it.

But it is also strange that she has been serving the two young masters for a long time. The two young masters are always moving and silent. Although they have been favored since childhood, they are not lawless and careless masters of human life.

She is white, tender and cute, and she doesn't lose her temper when she treats her servants. Compared with other high-ranking masters, she really can't be better.

As their personal maid, Liuli has received a lot of kindness so far, and the two young masters are willing to listen to her words.

Liuli felt that she had settled into a mansion, and compared to the past, she was lucky.

She smiled. She had lived here for a long time, and what she wanted and expected came one after another. The words of her mother and sister became increasingly blurry.

Squeak——

The boy opened the door to let her in, then closed the door and stood up straight, meticulous.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Rong Yu and Rong Jue raised their heads.

Their eyes lit up, Rong Jue dropped the pen, and the little guy ran straight over.

Liuli saluted, then knelt down and caught the young master with his open hand.

"Liu Li, you're back." Rong Jue smiled and put a pair of small hands on her body.

His younger brother Rong Yu followed in small steps and stopped not far away. He raised a hand to his mouth, his eyes flashed with a hint of joy, and he called softly.

"Liu Li."

A slave is born to serve his master. If he is too close to his master, the master does not look like the master, and the slave does not look like a slave, that is a joke.

Liuli was very fond of the two young masters, but she always followed the rules and kept herself awake to prevent herself from thinking about crossing the line.

Liuli stood up, and Rong Jue let go. He tilted his head, leaned forward slightly, sniffed, ran to his brother and took his hand, "Brother, it's crab cakes."

"

"Yeah." Rong Yu let his brother wrap his hand.

Crab powder cake is not a rare food for them, but Rong Jue and Rong Yu particularly like it. The crab cake made by Liuli is even more delicious, and their skills in the kitchen are not as good as hers.

Rong Yu's face is soft and waxy, he has no temper, and he looks like a cute dumpling who is easy to bully.

He had no reaction to the crab cakes.

Liuli took out the crab cakes and glutinous rice cakes and put them on the table.

"Let's eat something first and then write." She said.

She saw Rong Yu's expression in her eyes. Everyone said that the two young masters were indeed twins, and they both liked the same food. In fact, this was not the case.

Take crabmeal cakes for example. Rong Jue loves them very much, but Rong Yu can't call them that. He can only say that he doesn't hate them. What he likes is the sweet glutinous rice cakes.

But also because they are twins, the two have a close relationship. Although Rong Yu is the younger brother, he favors his elder brother Rong Jue very much.

Rong Jue likes whatever he thinks he likes.

Liuli didn't dare to say anything about the young master's actions. Young master Rong Yu seemed to be a crybaby and easy to bully, but in fact he had an idea.

"That's great, I'm going to starve to death." Rong Jue pulled him and reached out to get it.

"Don't say that word." Rong Yu said in a milky voice.

"Oh, I know, I know." Rong Jue responded nonchalantly.

Liuli put the stool away and stood waiting for the young masters to eat.

All she brought was some pastries and milk tea. The young masters were not allowed to eat staple food before meal time.

She didn't prepare much, just enough to cushion her belly.

"Liuli, what are you doing back home?" Rong Jue's cheeks were bulging.

Rong Yu took a sip of milk tea and turned his eyes to her.

"My little brother fell ill, so I went back to take care of him," Liuli replied.

Rong Yu had a "moustache" around her mouth, and she took out her handkerchief and gently wiped it clean.

"I've never heard you mention this brother before. How old is he? Isn't there anyone to take care of him when he's sick?" Rong Jue patted his belly and looked at her.

After all, she is the pride of heaven, and she is still a servant. How can there be any extra money in the family to hire others to take care of her?

Just as he was about to speak, Rong Yu said first: "Liu Li is serving us, how can she have enough money to hire someone to serve her brother? Brother, please don't say these words, otherwise you will sound stupid."

His tone was gentle and gentle as always, without any malice.

"Ah, that's it." Rong Jue bit his chopsticks, not angry at being scolded, but as angry as a kitten scratching him. He had been told this by his brother countless times since he could remember, and he was used to it.

It's just that he can't imagine what it would be like to have no one to take care of him.

Wouldn't it be miserable to lie on the bed when you are sick?

"Liu Li, how old is your brother?" Rong Jue asked.

"Seven years old," she replied.

"You are younger than us." Rong Jue's eyes widened and he thought for a moment, "Just wait!"

He ran to the bookshelf, sorted it out, took out a handful of things, ran over again, and handed it to Liuli.

"Here you go, whatever I reward you with, don't worry, it's all mine."

Liu Li lowered her eyes and saw a handful of small goldfish in the young master's palm. She remembered that it was given by the prince on his birthday two years ago. The two young masters each had a small box. They were exquisite and cute in shape and made of pure gold.

In the past two years, she had served three or four women one after another. The young masters liked her very much, but they only rewarded her.

Liuli's heart softened and she softened her expression, "Thank you young master, but no need. My slave brother is already well. Your good slave will remember it. You can take it back."

They were kind-hearted, but she couldn't take it for granted.

"Why don't you want it?" Rong Jue pouted, took the money bag from Liuli's waist, and put the little goldfish in it behind her back.

Rong Yu didn't stop him. After eating, he waited for his brother to mess with him.

"Okay, this is what I rewarded you with. You must take it. My brother and I are going to do the fine copying. You can go out. You don't need your service." Rong Jue said and got up and returned to the desk.

"You just came back, go and rest first." Rong Yu also spoke.

Upon seeing this, Liuli stopped staying any longer, blessed her body, packed up her things and left.

After the person left, Rong Jue turned to look at his brother, "I thought you wouldn't let me give her a little goldfish."

"Why not?" Rong Yu was multitasking, and his handwriting was as good as his teacher praised him.

"Yesterday you saw He Lin rewarding someone with a handful of silver, and you were unhappy. You even called him stupid. I saw it all." Rong Jue was so proud that even though Rong Yu's expression didn't change, he could see it at a glance.

different.

"It's different." Rong Yu didn't look up.

After hearing no sound for a long time, Rong Yu raised his head and saw the person who was supposed to be at his position approaching him. Although they were the same age, Rong Jue was half a head taller than him.
