Daughter of aristocratic family

Chapter 456 Rules
The guest house was cleaned every day. It was clean and tidy. You could live in it as long as you laid out the mattress and quilt. There was not much to clean, but Zhao Wangshu still went to take a look early the next morning.

Upon closer look, I saw Deng Baoying sitting on the railing with her legs crossed, eating an apple. Her posture was quite indecent.

Zhao Wangshu frowned slightly, and Lan Fen shouted unhappily, "Deng Baoying."

Deng Baoying looked up and saw that it was Zhao Wangshu. She put her foot down, stood up, and saluted, saying, "Baoying greets the young lady."

Deng Hongying, who was cleaning the room, also ran out in a hurry and saluted, saying, "This servant greets the young lady."

"Are you two on duty here?" Zhao Wangshu asked knowingly.

"Yes, Madam." Deng Hongying lied in order to save Deng Baoying.

"You are lying, Deng Hongying, you work in the tea room." Lan Fen exposed her directly.

Zhao Wangshu looked at Deng Hongying with sharp eyes: "Deng Hongying, why did you lie?"

Deng Hongying felt uneasy when Zhao Wangshu looked at her, so she knelt down and said, "Young Madam, please spare my life."

"Spare my life?" Zhao Wangshu chuckled, "Lan Fen, am I so cruel?"

Lan Fen flattered, "Madam, you are kind and beautiful, how could you be cruel? It's just that these servants don't know the rules, so they need to be taught well."

Zhao Wangshu had been planning to transfer Deng Baoying, who had ulterior motives, out of the guest house. Now it was justified, "Rong Li's family."

"I'm here." A woman came out from behind.

"Take these sisters away and let them learn the rules well. They are not allowed to serve until they have learned the rules well." Zhao Wangshu said coldly.

"Yes, Madam." Rong Li's family knelt down and looked at the Deng sisters with disgust, "You come with me."

"Thank you, Madam." Deng Hongying kowtowed.

Deng Baoying, however, looked unconvinced and rolled her eyes.

Zhao Wangshu turned a blind eye to it. It was not an easy task to relearn the rules. Those maids would teach her how to do her job.

"Lanfen, go pick two honest and well-behaved ones." Zhao Wangshu ordered.

"Yes, Madam." Lan Fen accepted the order.

Zhao Wangshu looked around the guest courtyard and added a few exquisite ornaments to the room. After everything was arranged, he returned to Linglong Courtyard.

When I entered the yard, I saw Yao Shanzhi putting little Yunyu on a wooden cart and pushing him around.

Those pushing the cart and those sitting in it all bared their teeth and laughed loudly.

Seeing Zhao Wangshu, Yao Shanzhi raised his voice and asked, "Yue'er, are you done with your work?"

"Yeah." Zhao Wangshu smiled and sat down on the railing.

"Mom, push." ​​Xiao Yunyu waved at her.

"You heartless boy, you don't need a godmother when you already have a biological mother." Yao Shanzhi pouted.

"Son, let your godmother push you around. Your biological mother isn't as stubborn as your godmother." Zhao Wangshu said with a smile.

"You are the awesome one." Yao Shanzhi replied to her.

He pushed the wooden cart in front of Zhao Wangshu and stopped. He reached out and took little Yunyu off the cart and handed it to Zhao Wangshu.

Zhao Wangshu held his son in his arms and patted his little butt gently, "Son, your godmother is angry. Go and comfort her."

Xiao Yunyu twisted his body, looked at Yao Shanzhi, smiled sweetly at her, and stretched out his hand for her to hug him.

The corners of Yao Shanzhi's mouth rose slightly involuntarily, and she reached out from Zhao Wangshu's arms and took the little guy in her arms.

Xiao Yunyu leaned over and kissed her on the face.

Yao Shanzhi couldn't stop laughing, "You are such a good pleaser, I'm afraid your mother and I will be overwhelmed with choices for a wife in the future."

"You think too far ahead. How old is he?" Zhao Wangshu said angrily.

"The old people said that children are more worried about their birth than their growth," said Yao Shanzhi. The two of them played with the child for a while, and then it was time for Xiao Yunyu to eat milk paste. Yao Shanzhi put Xiao Yunyu on the wooden cart, took the bowl handed by the nanny, and fed Xiao Yunyu.

Xiao Yunyu always used his hands to grab the spoon. Yao Shanzhi asked Zhao Wangshu, "What does he mean by this?"

Zhao Wangshu smiled and said, "He wants to eat by himself."

"Will he?" Yao Shanzhi asked.

"I don't know how yet. I can hold the spoon steadily, but I don't know how to scoop. After I scoop it up with great difficulty, I can't put it into my mouth." Zhao Wangshu once gave him a spoon to see if he could eat.

"Yuer, you are still young. Wait until you grow up a little, then you can eat by yourself." Yao Shanzhi coaxed him while feeding him milk porridge.

After finishing a bowl of milk porridge, the nanny carried the little one, who had become as big as a kitten, downstairs to wash his face.

Zhao Wangshu and Yao Shanzhi had just sat down in the east room and had not had time to drink tea when Cheng Xiang came in and said, "Madam, the master wants you to go to the front to meet the guests."

"Oh, OK." Zhao Wangshu had changed into clothes suitable for meeting guests early in the morning, so he didn't need to change clothes or do his makeup again. "Gardenia, I'll be right back."

"I'll go with you." Yao Shanzhi touched his face, "I shouldn't be that shameful, right?"

"If you, the Princess of Yixing, can't see anyone, then eight out of ten people in this capital city can't see anyone." Zhao Wangshu took her arm.

When I arrived at the front hall, I saw Yun Hao talking to two young men.

"Husband." Zhao Wangshu called.

"Come, ma'am, who are these two?" Yun Hao was about to introduce them to her.

"Zheng Jin, He Yang." Yao Shanzhi called out the names of the two guests.

"Princess Yixing." Zheng Jin, He Yang and Yao Shanzhi are old acquaintances.

"Long time no see." Yao Shanzhi nodded slightly, looking a little dazed.

"Yes, long time no see." Zheng Jin smiled, "How is the county lady?"

Yao Shanzhi curled his lips and said, "I'm fine." After a pause, he said, "Uncle Tan and Aunt Tan, are they okay?"

"The Marquis and his wife are in good health, but they have always been worried about the county princess." Zheng Jin replied.

"As long as they are in good health, thank them for their concern. Everything is fine too." Yao Shanzhi said softly with some emotion in his tone.

If she had married successfully, Jingbian Hou and his wife would have been her parents-in-law. Unfortunately, things did not go as she wished. He died on the battlefield, and she never married.

After reminiscing about the past, Yun Hao introduced Zhao Wangshu, "Deputy General Zheng, Deputy General He, this is my wife."

"Hello, sister-in-law. Sorry to bother you." Zheng Jin and He Yang bowed.

Zhao Wangshu returned the greeting, "Hello, my Lords. Thank you for taking care of my husband in Zhenhaiwei."

"Sister-in-law, you are too polite. It is Brother Yun who is taking care of us." Zheng Jin and He Yang said with a smile.

After a few polite words, the servant came in and reported, "Sir, Madam, the banquet is ready."

Yun Hao extended his hand and said, "Please."

Although there were only five of us, there were both men and women, so we still sat at separate tables.

However, Yao Shanzhi was excited to see his old acquaintance and insisted on drinking with Zheng He and the others.

Zhao Wangshu couldn't persuade her, so he could only give her some sweet fruit wine to drink.

No matter how low the alcohol content is, it is still wine, not water. Especially for Yao Shanzhi, the wine does not intoxicate people, but people themselves. After drinking a few pots, she hugged Zhao Wangshu and cried, "Yue'er, why is this wine so bitter?"

"Then let's not drink it. Let's drink honey water instead. It's that sweet." Zhao Wangshu comforted her.

"Yue'er, why am I so sad? I clearly told myself that I'm not sad." Yao Shanzhi cried.

Zhao Wangshu patted her back and said, "The wine is too bitter, that's why you feel sad. Drink the honey water and you won't feel sad anymore."

As she spoke, she signaled for someone to bring a sedan chair and carry the drunken Yao Shanzhi to Linglong Courtyard.
