Chapter 226: Love is in the air
After Cheng Yunshuo left, Lu Lingyun's courtyard became lively in a short while.
Qiu Ling, Ling Long and Du Ruo brought their maids to Lu Lingyun's place.
It's a rare occasion that all three of them came.
"Hello, Madam."
"Hello, Madam."
"Hello, Madam."
Three greetings rang out at the same time, and all three concubines saluted Lu Lingyun.
Lu Lingyun nodded to the three of them, glanced at the sewing baskets in the maids' hands, and smiled, "What brings you three here?"
"We thought that Miss Shuanghong who is by your side is very good at needlework, so we all came here to ask for her advice." Qiu Ling took the sewing basket from her maid and walked forward with a smile.
"Young Madam, please don't think we are annoying." Linglong walked to the other side with a needle and thread basket.
"I have nothing to do. You guys are here to make things lively. Please sit down." Lu Lingyun glanced at them and asked them to sit down.
Du Ruo did not dare to approach Lu Lingjun with an enthusiastic face like Qiu Ling and Linglong did. She raised her head to look at Lu Lingjun, then quickly lowered her head and sat with everyone else in the seat farthest away from Lu Lingjun.
Lu Lingyun took one look at her and knew what she was thinking.
Maybe she wanted to come here and ask Shuanghong for advice, but she was embarrassed.
When she was learning the rules from her, she asked her many times and called her many times to learn more, but she didn't listen at all.
After that, he never came to her yard unless there was something to do.
After all, she was not like Qiu Ling and Ling Long, who took the initiative to be intimate with Lu Lingyun.
Even though they knew that Lu Lingyun was really not a bad person and did not blame them, the concubines, she could even be considered an extremely good mistress.
She could never let go in front of Lu Lingyun, always showing that stubbornness and a little shyness in front of her.
All those naughty and hypocritical thoughts were in her eyes.
Lu Lingyun was too lazy to say more, so she called Shuanghong over to come here and do the housework with everyone, while she sat aside and started to use the abacus.
Tell Du Ruo to relax a little.
Sure enough, after she left, Du Ruo's expression became visibly more relaxed.
"Shuanghong, so this is how the needlework works here."
"I can't say I've been walking well."
"Auntie Du, come and take a look. You must learn this stitch carefully."
Qiu Ling and Ling Long called Du Ruo to come forward. Du Ruo put the clothes in her hands aside and leaned forward to look carefully at the embroidery that Shuang Hong was demonstrating.
The bright morning light shone through the gaps in the vine stand in the flower hall, and she looked particularly attentively at that half of her face.
Lu Lingjun, who was sitting aside and casually flipping through the account book, inadvertently saw Du Ruo's serious expression, and immediately thought of the look on Cheng Yunshuo's face when he was about to take off the sachet just now.
She sighed.
"The flowers have feelings but the water is not."
"Young Madam, what did you say?" Qiu Ling turned around and asked when she heard her sigh.
"It's nothing. Just embroider well." Lu Lingyun smiled at them.
Du Ruo raised his head and looked at her, but when their eyes met, she looked away again.
The three of them spent the entire day learning needlework skills from Lu Lingyun.
By evening, Du Ruo's pair of men's long socks were almost finished.
"Don't say that, Aunt Du did a great job."
"Yes, it took me so long to embroider a sachet before, but now I can make a pair of stockings in one day. Look at how dense the stitches are."
Du Ruo smiled as he heard the compliments.
Lu Lingyun, who had been looking at the account books all day, came over and said, "You did a good job."
she praised.
When Du Ruo heard her praise, the smile on his face became a little stiff. At this time, a servant came in to pass on the message.
"Madam, the prince is drunk, and he has been asked to be brought back!"
"Where did you drink?"
"Piaoxianglou."
Lu Lingyun: "......"
Not only Lu Lingyun, but also Qiu Ling and Ling Long were speechless.
Both of them showed a trace of disgust on their faces.
Went to the brothel to drink wine again.
He had already been promoted to the rank of Yu Lin Jun, and only had one day off a month, yet he actually went to a brothel.
Du Ruo hurriedly asked, "Where is the prince?"
"I just entered the mansion and saw someone being carried. I wanted to ask the young lady where the prince was carried to? To the Yaoguang Pavilion or the main courtyard?"
When Linglong heard that they were going to Yaoguangge, her face fell.
If you carry it back, won't that mean she will be asked to serve you?
Qiu Ling looked relieved at this moment.
That’s great. No matter where I go, I don’t have to have her serve me.
Du Ruo directly bypassed Lu Lingyun and said, "Carry it to my courtyard!"
Only after she finished speaking did she realize that she was in Lu Lingyun's courtyard, and the servant was asking the mistress.
She was no longer disciplined and could not give orders to Lu Lingyun.
This is open robbery!
After she finished speaking, she glanced at Lu Lingyun carefully, and saw that Lu Lingyun was still as indifferent as before, "Since Aunt Du wants to take care of the prince, then carry the prince to Xiaoheyuan."
As soon as she finished speaking, Du Ruo ran out as if she had received an imperial decree to greet Cheng Yunshuo who had been carried back.
Qiu Ling and Ling Long couldn't help but shake their heads after seeing this and said, "This Aunt Du is really not afraid of hard work."
"If she wants to work hard, then let her work hard."
Lu Lingyun: "......"
To some extent, Lu Lingyun felt that her backyard was quite harmonious.
The concubines were too lazy to argue with each other.
Du Ruo trotted all the way to the door and saw Cheng Yunshuo being carried in by two people.
She hurriedly led people to carry Cheng Yunshuo back to her small lotus courtyard.
Cheng Yunshuo was drunk, his whole face was red. It was amazing that he remembered to ask someone to send him back after being so drunk.
Du Ruo took off his shoes and socks while complaining, "Master, if you want to drink, can't you drink at home?"
"Are you short of company? If they don't drink with you, I will!"
"Why go to a brothel?"
"How dare you enter such a dirty place!"
As she was mumbling, Cheng Yunshuo suddenly said, "It's not dirty!"
Upon hearing this, Du Ruo immediately became angry, "How can it not be dirty! There are thousands of people riding and ten thousand sleeping there, it must be as dirty as it can be, you dare to step in!"
After she said this, she was pushed hard.
"I don't want you!" The drunken Cheng Yunshuo opened his red eyes and pushed her away angrily.
Seeing him like this, Du Ruo felt angry and aggrieved, "Do you still know who I am?"
"I don't want anyone!" Cheng Yunshuo was drunk and said, "Get out! You are the dirty one!"
"I'm Aruo!" Du Ruo rushed forward unconvinced, wanting Cheng Yunshuo to see clearly who she was.
Cheng Yunshuo pushed her away fiercely again, and he shouted drunkenly, "I don't want A'ruo, I want Dairong!"
The moment he said Xing Dairong's name, Du Ruo was stunned.
Cheng Yunshuo, who was drunk, fell back on the bed. His red eyes were misty and he murmured, "Dai Rong is the cleanest woman in the world."
