Ruan Xiaojiu's heart was pounding.
Ever since he started following Su Yao and working for him, he found that everything seemed to go smoothly all of a sudden, and no matter what he was doing, it became extremely simple.
Although he didn't know why Su Yao wanted him to follow the Zhang father and daughter, he saw clearly how the Zhang father and daughter made a fuss in front of the Su family's door before.
Now that he saw the Zhang father and daughter in trouble, he was very happy.
Su Yao glanced at him, came back to his senses, raised his eyebrows and said: "You continue to watch the Zhang family. If there is any movement, come back and report in time. Don't delay."
Ruan Xiaojiu agreed quickly without any hesitation.
After meeting Ruan Xiaojiu, Su Yao went out to see the golden pheasants raised in his yard.
I don't know what Su Rong was thinking. He insisted that her yard was empty. He was afraid that she would feel bored, so he found a few golden pheasants for her from somewhere and kept them next to the row of Ligustrum lucidum that was enclosed by the courtyard wall.
Su Yao is now exceptionally punctual when getting up every day.
When she returned to the yard, she found the five golden pheasants were walking proudly with their long tails dragging around, chasing and playing with each other from time to time. She couldn't help feeling helpless.
Well, it is indeed not empty anymore.
It's so noisy that it makes people feel dizzy.
She stood there for a while, sprinkled some millet on the spirited pheasants, and then returned the bowl to Jinping who was waiting on the side.
Jinping couldn't help laughing: "Girl, I've heard of people raising peacocks at home for fun, but I've never heard of people raising golden pheasants for a long time. Although they look good, but..."
The little girl has gradually become cheerful and lively now. Su Yao understood what she meant without waiting for her to finish speaking - but if you raise it for too long, the meat will not be edible.
As she thought so, she burst out laughing, causing a pheasant at the edge to tilt its head to look at her and call out in a haughty manner.
After chatting and laughing for a while, suddenly Mother Shen came in from outside in a hurry. Seeing Su Yao standing in front of the fence, she hurried over and looked at Su Yao in confusion and entanglement: "Girl, someone brought you something."
Su Yao hadn't reacted yet, so he subconsciously asked, "Are they godfather and godmother?"
Mother Shen's expression was a little strange. She shook her head and said in horror, "Yes...it was sent by the Jinyiwei."
Su Yao paused immediately and looked at the golden pheasant which was tilting its head to look at her. Both the man and the pheasant were a little confused.
But this confusion only lasted for a moment, and she immediately reacted and asked solemnly, "What is it?"
Mother Shen was also a little scared: "I don't know, it's the Chen Dong who came to our house last time... He's waiting outside."
At first, Su Yao thought that it was Lai Weiqi and others who came, but when he heard that it was Chen Dong who came, he breathed a sigh of relief and took Mother Shen outside.
Su Rong was already there, talking to Chen Dong.
When Chen Dong saw her coming, he turned around and looked at her: "Miss Su, our assistant said that he disturbed you by visiting you late at night last time, so he specially asked me to come and give you a gift."
Su Rong's expression was a little subtle.
Chen Dong had someone bring the things up, explaining, "We were in such a hurry that we didn't have time to prepare anything nice. This is just a small token of my respect, and I hope the young lady won't despise it."
Su Yao and Su Rong looked at each other, and two Jinyiwei in Feiyu uniforms came in carrying a box.
When the box was opened, a pot of Luoyang red as bright as the morning glow suddenly appeared before one's eyes, leaving one speechless for a moment.
Luoyang Red is a famous variety of peony, which is not easy to obtain. The one in front of you has a hundred flowers on one plant, which is exactly the top-quality one mentioned in the legend. When the box is opened, even the flower hall seems to be brighter.
Seeing that Su Yao didn't say anything, Chen Dong took a square brocade box from the Jinyiwei beside him and said, "There is also this, young lady, please accept it as well. It is also a little gift from our assistant."
Su Yao was a little shocked.
However, Chen Dong had already said goodbye to Su Rong.
Judging from the attitude, it is clear that they have not considered the possibility of being rejected.
Su Yao had no choice but to frown and glance at Mother Shen.
Mother Shen has already opened the box. As soon as she opened the box, she saw a whole set of frozen stone cups, a set of nine, each of which was shining and transparent like ice jade, with camellias of various shapes on the base.
"Oh!" Su Rong sighed after seeing Chen Dong off. He picked up a cup and looked at it, then said, "What a generous gesture! I'm afraid he spent a lot of money."
Of course, Su Yao was also a wealthy man. Such a set of frozen stone cups would probably cost no less than a thousand taels of silver.
What does Song Heng want to do with such a big move at once
Su Yao couldn't help but raise her eyebrows when she thought of the last time she met Song Heng, Song Heng asked her if she liked drinking tea.
At this moment, Song Heng reached out to stop Taoist Qingyuan's hand, while accurately putting the chess piece that had been moved back to its original position, and listening to Chen Dong's reply.
Seeing that Miss Su had accepted the things after Chen Dong finished speaking, there was no movement for a long time. He finally turned his head to look at Chen Dong, raised his eyebrows and asked, "No more?"
Chen Dong also looked back at him in confusion: "They've all been given away."
Song Heng frowned.
Taoist Qingyuan happily took the opportunity to take back the chess piece he had put down earlier, while admonishing Chen Dong: "You young man, how come you are not as good as an old Taoist like me? The gift has already been given, but the girl didn't say anything?"
Say something
Chen Dong was at a loss: "Miss Su Si didn't say anything, she just accepted the things."
Taoist Qingyuan sighed and suddenly laughed: "Interesting, interesting! This little girl is interesting."
Chen Dong was a little confused by Song Heng's reaction. He scratched his head and reacted belatedly.
When has my assistant ever given anything to the girl
He can't be...
His eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly made amends: "But something happened at Miss Su's home today!"
Song Heng paused and turned his head to look at him.
Chen Dong immediately told the story of the Zhang family's father and daughter causing trouble at the Su family. "After a while, the fourth Miss Su and the eldest Young Master Su came out and gave some banknotes. I don't know what the fourth Miss Su said to Miss Zhang, and Miss Zhang, who was looking for death, stopped causing trouble. The two of them turned around and made a big scene at the Tian family. The Tian family is now busy from top to bottom, and the Zhang family's father and daughter have not yet come out of the Tian family."
oh
Song Heng placed the chess piece in his hand in its proper place with great interest, and asked Chen Dong calmly, "What did you say when you went to the Tian family to make trouble?"
Chen Dong then told her about Zhang Jingchan asking Tian Rui to let her enter Prince Zhuang's mansion: "It's being rumored everywhere that it was actually Tian Rui who replaced Miss Zhang as a concubine in Prince Zhuang's mansion. The rumors are so detailed that some even say that Tian Rui had already fallen in love with Prince Zhuang."
