After the divorce, my ex-uncle fell in love with me crazily

Chapter 77

Tao Yao returned to Tingfang Courtyard after she came out of Star Picking Hall.

As soon as she entered the room, she lay down on the couch and stared at her fingers.

When Xi'er saw her coming back, she lay down on the couch, her face was also red, thinking she was sick, she quickly reached out and touched her forehead.

"Miss, are you sick, why is your face so red?" She said worriedly.

Tao Yao came back to her senses, raised her hand to touch her face, and asked in surprise, "Is it very red?"

"En." Xi'er said, and brought her a mirror to take a picture.

The face of the person in the mirror was bright red, as if she had applied high-quality rouge, and her eyes were moist, as if filled with spring water, so beautiful.

Tao Yao was taken aback when she saw it, why did she become like this?
She looks so much like this...

Facing Shang Xi'er's puzzled look, she coughed lightly, and explained somewhat far-fetchedly, "Maybe... it's because I stayed in the kitchen for too long and got smoked."

Upon hearing this, Xi'er persuaded: "The lady should not go into the kitchen in the future, the kitchen is smoky, so don't let the lady's face turn yellow."

Tao Yao blinked, "You're right..." But she was also a little bit reluctant to part with Lu Jiuyuan, the benefactor.

She was struggling in her heart when she suddenly saw Dong'er walking in holding a box.

"Dong'er, what are you holding in your hand?" Xi'er asked hurriedly.

"It was Wu Ze's guard who asked me to hand it over to Madam." Dong'er replied.

Tao Yao was taken aback for a moment, then sat up happily, and quickly reached out to take the box.

The box is not big, the size of a palm, but it is heavy in the hand.

Holding her breath, she opened it and was instantly dazzled by the gleaming gold ingots inside.

so much gold...

Get rich!
"Miss, there are so many gold ingots." Xi'er exclaimed.

Dong'er said with a smile: "The guard of Wuze said that the Duke asked him to send it to his wife."

Tao Yao came back to her senses, her heart was full of joy.

It was worthwhile for her to bother making lunch for Lu Jiuyuan.

She really didn't work in vain!
Lu Jiuyuan is really on the right track!

Well, cook a few more dishes for him tomorrow and reward him!
Thinking about it, she gave the box to Xi'er, told her to put it away, put on her shoes on the ground, hurriedly went to the ear room to make a cup of tea, and then took it to the Hall of Reaching the Stars.

When she arrived at the study, Lu Jiuyuan was sitting on a chair with his hands resting on his forehead, his eyes drooping and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Husband, husband?"

In the silent study room, a girl's awkward voice suddenly came.

Lu Jiuyuan was taken aback for a moment, and when he looked up, he saw a head poking out of the door.

He paused, a smile flashed across his eyes, he put down his hands, and said softly, "Come in."

Only then did Tao Yao walk in, and asked curiously, "What were you doing just now? But you're not feeling well?"

Lu Jiuyuan glanced at her, shook his head, "No."

In fact, he was a little full, and his stomach was not feeling well.

"You...what's the matter?" He asked instead.

When Tao Yao heard this, she immediately brought him the tea in her hand, "This is the tea I brewed for you, drink some after meals, it can help digestion."

Lu Jiuyuan glanced at her in surprise, but he quickly thought of something, and a smile appeared in his eyes.

That day in the palace, when he saw her coaxing away a box of gold ornaments from Princess Jingwen, he should have known that this girl loved gold and silver and was a little money fanatic.

"En." He responded with a low voice, picked up the teacup, and took a few sips.

Just as Tao Yao was about to say something else, he suddenly put down his cup, stood up and said, "The crabapple flowers in the garden are blooming, let's go and have a look."

"Huh?" Tao Yao was stunned.

"No time?" Lu Jiuyuan asked with downcast eyes.

Thinking of the box of gold, Tao Yao quickly waved her hands, "Of course not, I'm free."

"Well, let's go." Lu Jiuyuan curled his lips and walked out of the study first.

Looking at his tall and straight back, Tao Yao felt weird in her heart, but she still followed him.

I'm going to enjoy the flowers at noon, is Lu Jiuyuan okay?

Doesn't he even need to take a nap?

When I arrived at the Begonia Garden, I saw that the Begonia flowers were in full bloom, and the clusters were very spectacular.

Tao Yao was stunned.

"It's so beautiful." She looked up at the petals on the tree and exclaimed.

Lu Jiuyuan heard the voice and looked back.

The girl was standing under the flower tree, looking up at the flowers with her head up. At this time, the wind came from nowhere, and the petals on the treetops were blown off, and they all fell on her.

Tao Yao was taken aback, looking at the petals falling one after another, she couldn't help reaching out to catch them.

It wasn't until her palms were full of petals that she ran to Lu Jiuyuan excitedly.

"Uncle Jiu, do you think this flower is beautiful?"

Lu Jiuyuan's eyes fell on her face, he paused, nodded, "Well, pretty."

"I think it's pretty too." Tao Yao nodded, picked up a piece, and was about to put it in her mouth when Lu Jiuyuan stopped her, "You can't eat it."

Tao Yao blinked, "I want to taste what it tastes like."

"Some flowers look pretty, but they may be poisonous, so don't try them lightly." Lu Jiuyuan frowned.

Tao Yao felt that what he said made sense, so she nodded, "Got it."

"Let's go." Lu Jiuyuan said, then turned and walked forward.

Tao Yao followed behind, saw a lot of petals falling on the ground, couldn't help but squatted down, picked up the petals, and put them in her skirt pocket.

Lu Jiuyuan walked very slowly, turning his head occasionally, and when he saw her squatting on the ground picking up petals, he would stop and wait for her.

The two stopped and walked, and after a while, Tao Yao's skirt pocket was filled with petals.

Lu Jiuyuan saw it and asked, "What are you picking up these flowers for?"

"Don't do anything." Tao Yao shook her head, she just felt that it was a pity that the petals fell to the ground.

Lu Jiuyuan didn't say anything after hearing the words.

Looking at the man walking ahead, Tao Yao rolled her eyes and suddenly called out, "Uncle Nine!"

Hearing the sound, Lu Jiuyuan turned around when he saw a rain of flowers showering his face.

In an instant, his body was covered with petals.

He stared in amazement at the girl in front of him who threw flower petals at him.

When he came back to his senses, he frowned slightly, and couldn't help reaching out to grab her hand, "Don't throw it away!"

Tao Yao paused, met his deep and unsmiling eyes, the smile froze on her face, swallowed, and murmured: "Are you... angry?"

Lu Jiuyuan was taken aback, and let go of her hand, "No." After a pause, he explained, "I... just not used to it."

"I'm sorry." Tao Yao apologized.

Seeing that his body was covered with petals, she couldn't help but took two steps forward, stood on tiptoe, and patted the petals off his body.

The girl suddenly approached, and when the unique and pleasant fragrance of her body penetrated her nostrils without warning, Lu Jiuyuan was absent-minded for a moment.

After a long time, he came back to his senses, looked at the girl who was busy in front of him, pursed his lower lip, and said in a low voice, "I didn't blame you."

Tao Yao paused, raised her moist eyes, and glanced at him, "Oh." She continued to help him pat off the petals on his body.
