Chapter 141 Listening to the Rain Residence
Under Xiao Tao's leadership, Gu Changfeng walked forward for a quarter of an hour and finally arrived at Beiyuan in Ye's Mansion.
On the first day of the first day, Gu Changfeng felt his breathing slightly stagnant.
Just now in the living room, Ye Yuanhai said that Beiyuan was the best place in Ye Mansion. Gu Changfeng thought it was a polite word, but after he really arrived at Beiyuan, Gu Changfeng realized that Ye Yuanhai was not exaggerating, and even spoke with a sense of modestness.
Gu Changfeng had passed the front yard from the gate of Ye Mansion to the living room. At that time, the first feeling of the front yard was ordinary. After seeing it too much, he realized the heavy charm of the plainness. Perhaps the Ye Mansion was a medical family after all. If the decoration at home was too luxurious, it would be really not good to be famous for going out.
But Ye Mansion Beiyuan is actually the backyard of the mansion. Those who can enter it are all the family members of the Ye Mansion or relatives and friends with some status and status. Naturally, these people cannot go out and go around, so the Ye Mansion no longer has to hide their shortcomings in front of these people.
What is more painful than having no money, maybe it is because you have money but can't spend it.
When there is no money, I may eat a plate of vegetables and two steamed buns every night, but I dare not move with hundreds of taels of silver in my arms. I am afraid that no matter how sweet the steamed bun is, it will change its flavor. No matter how open-minded the heart is, it will feel like a cat is scratched.
The carved beams and painted buildings in Beiyuan are not like living rooms, but more like a gathering place for artworks. Gu Changfeng took a casual look and gave up the right to choose. Instead, he turned his head and said sincerely to his maid Xiao Tao: "Miss Xiao Tao, I'm just here for the first time, and I don't know which room is. Xiao Tao should be an old man who has seen the world in Ye Mansion. I hope Xiao Tao will give me some advice."
The maid Xiao Tao was startled by Gu Changfeng's polite words, and her little face suddenly turned red and waved her hand quickly, "Young Master Qi, don't say that. Xiao Tao is a servant, it's okay to serve the young master. If you have any questions that Mr. Qi wants Xiao Tao to make a blunt command, you don't need to... you don't need to be so polite."
Gu Changfeng smiled and bowed, but a trace of light was quietly hurt in his eyes.
Although Ye Yuanhai is kind, his maids around him are rigorous in rules. Even if he is not by Ye Yuanhai's side, he dare not do anything out of the ordinary. From this point of view, Ye Yuanhai should be a person with rigorous family management and quite skillful skills.
After calming down, Xiao Tao said softly: "Mr. Qi, Xiao Tao hasn't come to Beiyuan very much on weekdays. He just heard that Tingyuju is a very good room in Beiyuan's guest room. Tingyujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujujuju
Gu Changfeng nodded and smiled: "Okay, then let's live in Tingyuju, and I'm sorry to lead the way for Miss Tao."
Xiao Tao was obviously still happy when his opinion was adopted. He pursed his delicate lips and lowered his head and walked towards Tingyuju with Gu Changfeng.
Tingyu's residence was not far from here, and it was only seventy or eighty steps to reach the entrance of the yard. There were two green trees at the entrance of Tingyu's residence that Gu Changfeng could not call him. Below the trees, a servant was guarding the door. After Xiao Tao went up to negotiate with the servant, the servant immediately nodded and took out a bunch of keys from his pocket to open the door of the courtyard.
Xiao Tao turned around and led Gu Changfeng into Tingyuju.
Listening to the rain Curie is full of green, with all kinds of rare and rare grass competing for beauty. There is a beautiful rain pavilion in the courtyard that is most eye-catching, with carved beams and painted roads, both in the layout and structure.
After passing through the courtyard, he walked into the main hall. The furniture and decoration in the main hall were also excellent. After Xiao Tao followed Gu Changfeng into the main hall, he explained warmly that where to take a bath, where to get hot water, etc. When he saw Gu Changfeng turning his eyes to the bedroom, he immediately explained that the bed and quilts of Tingyuju changed every day, and the guests used new every day.
Gu Changfeng took the package behind him and handed it to Xiao Tao. Xiao Tao immediately opened the package, took out the clothes she had changed, put them in the wardrobe one by one. After seeing the clothes that men wore, Xiao Tao's face turned red, but the movements of tidying up in his hands were still extremely skillful and did not stop at all.
Gu Changfeng sat next to the round table, took off the thick-backed narrow knife behind her back and placed it on the table, reached out and touched the teapot on the table, and the brewed tea was always prepared inside.
Gu Changfeng poured a cup of hot tea for himself and Xiao Tao, and gently pushed the teacup towards Xiao Tao. He was so scared that the timid maid waved her hands repeatedly, and her face turned red and said that she could not use it.
It was not until this time that Gu Changfeng calmed down and looked at Xiao Tao carefully. To be fair, Xiao Tao was pretty, even a simple maid outfit could not cover her beautiful beauty. Xiao Tao was about sixteen or seventeen years old, with a goose face, big eyes, and black and smooth hair behind her back, giving people an extremely clean and comfortable feeling at first glance.
Perhaps the only flaw is that Xiao Tao has a figure. Although she is indeed slim and orderly, her chest looks like "Xiaohe has only revealed her sharp corners". Compared with her peers, she is indeed much behind.
Perhaps because she felt Gu Changfeng's unconcealed spy on her and her gaze, Xiao Tao's expected face turned red again. She lowered her head and stood in front of Gu Changfeng, her bare hands fiddling with the corner of her clothes because of her nervousness, looking shy as if she didn't know what to say.
Gu Changfeng suddenly realized his reaction and smiled sincerely: "Miss Tao, I'm going to tell you that I came from a remote coastal town. For the Ye Mansion, it was actually a poor relative who came to join me. My family had never served me, so... so there was no need for Miss Tao to be in front of me... Just... you understand?"
Xiao Tao obviously breathed a sigh of relief, and then when he heard Gu Changfeng say that he was a "poor relative", he smiled with his lips. After Gu Changfeng finished speaking, he tried to shake his head and said softly: "Young Master Qi is saying anything. No matter what, you are a distinguished guest of the master. Xiao Tao is a servant. Although Xiao Tao has never studied, Xiao Tao still understands the rules of orderly hierarchy."
Gu Changfeng scratched his head in a little annoyed manner. After brewing in his heart for a while, he slowly said, "Miss Tao, I...I'm not joking with you. Really, I have been rolling in the streets and markets since I was a child. I have been serving others since I was a child, so no one can serve me. Suddenly there was an extra maid around me, and I...I really couldn't adapt."
Xiao Tao's face turned pale. After hearing this, he immediately fell to the ground. His eyes were filled with tears. He sobbed and said softly: "Young Master Qi, is Xiao Tao doing something that makes you dissatisfied? Just say it directly, don't... don't drive Xiao Tao away."
Xiao Tao's reaction fully demonstrated how strict the rules in the Ye Mansion are, which also made Gu Changfeng revise his positioning of the Ye Mansion in his heart.
Looking at the little girl whose face was so scared that she was pale, Gu Changfeng immediately stood up and helped her up from the ground, and said earnestly: "Miss Tao, don't get me wrong. Maybe it's because of my statement just now. I mean... I mean you are a very good person, but I am used to being poor, and I am a little bit of a little bit of serving others... I'm not used to it. Miss Tao, do you think this is good? In front of outsiders, you should do whatever you want, but in Tingyu Curie, I'm a few years older than you, just think I'm a big brother, I think you are a girl, don't worry, if Ye Shiwang asks, I will definitely know what to say."
In the last half of the sentence, Gu Changfeng was a little arrogant. He was at most one year older than Xiao Tao, and he might even be comparable to Xiao Tao. However, he is quite calm and more experienced than his peers, so Xiao Tao subconsciously agreed to what Gu Changfeng said.
After being lifted from the ground, Xiao Tao burst into tears and smiled, looking at Gu Changfeng and said sincerely: "Young Master Qi, you are such a good person."
Gu Changfeng's face turned red rarely. This little Tao was really not well-informed, like a piece of white paper that had never been stained with colors. As long as Gu Changfeng used a little trick, the little Tao immediately believed it.
After experiencing this small ripples, although it was the first time we met, Xiao Tao obviously became more intimate with Gu Changfeng and became a little more lively when he spoke.
After Gu Changfeng talked about family matters with Xiao Tao, he deliberately or unintentionally shifted the focus of the chat to the Ye family. Although Xiao Tao was a little naive, he had been working in the Ye family for three or four years and knew some basic information about the Ye family. Gu Changfeng didn't ask anything extremely secretly, so no matter what Gu Changfeng asked, Xiao Tao said it all in detail.
After half an hour, Gu Changfeng asked the matter almost the same. After having a general idea in his mind, he got up and prepared to take a shower. Of course, Xiao Tao volunteered to prepare hot water. It can be seen that meeting a master like Gu Changfeng is an extremely lucky thing in Xiao Tao's mind. When he goes out to prepare hot water, his steps are extremely brisk.
The smile on Gu Changfeng's face, who was alone in the main hall, slowly calmed down. Through the conversation with Xiao Tao just now, he vaguely realized that the Ye family seemed not as friendly as rumored outside.
The third wife of the Ye family, Ye Yanglu is over 40 years old, and has two sons and one daughter. However, the third wife of the Ye family, Ye Yuanhai's youngest daughter, Ye Duling, is just twenty-one this year, and is as old as Ye Yanglu's eldest son.
Ye Yuanhai is a woman from an old age, so he naturally favors Ye Duling. Ye Duling is also kind-hearted, smart and agile, and serves his father comfortably.
However, Gu Changfeng's head tilted, and he suddenly thought that when Ye Yuanhai got Ye Tuling, he should be more than fifty years old...
This is quite similar to the "Brother Qi" he mentioned.
Always stronger,
