The Cultivation of Concubine

Chapter 24 A Kiss (2)
Xiao Yuti continued: "Later, my brother became less talkative, and I haven't seen him smile for a long time." She thought of something, and glanced at Ajiao, "By the way, that's when it started, brother My taste has also changed. I used to dislike sweet and greasy food the least, but after recovering from illness, I started to like sweets. The sweet and sour carp you cooked today is very suitable for my brother's taste..."

Ajiao asked in surprise, "How did Miss Six know that it was done by a servant girl?"

Xiao Yuti didn't speak, just smiled and winked at Ajiao, and then said: "Actually, I like you quite a bit, but..." It's just that the identity is different, even if the elder brother is really interested in this little maid, the mother will not agreed.A girl who grew up in a wealthy family is always more delicate in her mind, and she has grown a lot after experiencing what happened yesterday.She knew that her elder brother didn't like to be close to others, so she didn't have a room until now, and now she was willing to let the servant girl wait on her, which showed that she was special.But my elder brother is the eldest son of the Duke's Mansion, so the heirs are especially important.Therefore, even if this servant girl becomes brother's housemate and has a child later, she will still be a concubine... With her status, it is impossible for her to become the mistress of Duke Jing's mansion.

Pity.Xiao Yuti sighed secretly in her heart, and fell down with regret on her face.

A Jiao didn't know what Xiao Yuti was thinking at the moment, so she just settled down quietly.Although the chess skills of these six girls are superb, they are indeed far behind the Shi Ziye, and the two of them are playing chess right now, and they are evenly matched.But she can't beat her.

After the game, Xiangsi, the maid beside Xiao Yuti, came to Jitangxuan, saying that Mr. Tang had come.

Ajiao naturally knows who the Mr. Tang is in Xiangsi's mouth.This Mr. Tang was named Tang Muli, he was sixteen years old, and he was the eldest grandson of Tang Hong, Minister of the Ministry of Officials.The mother of Mr. Tang is from the Duke Jing's mansion, so she is the cousin of the six girls.But the most important point is - Mr. Tang and Miss Six are childhood sweethearts, and they have been engaged since childhood.

As soon as she heard that bookworm Tang Mutou had come, Xiao Yuti's face drooped, and she didn't really want to see him.

Xiangsi, Xiao Yuti's personal servant girl, said: "Miss, I'd better go see you. Mr. Tang just came back from Yizhou yesterday, and he brought a lot of novelties."

After hearing this, Xiao Yuti was a little moved, but on the face she pretended to be reluctant and said: "Well, let me show him some face." After saying this, she turned her head to A Jiao and said, "Next time I'll play chess with you again, but... don't let me deliberately."

Ajiao was a little embarrassed for a while, she smiled and watched the sixth girl leave.

Nothing happened in the afternoon, so Ajiao remembered yesterday's letter and took out half of the money she had saved.For families like them, ten taels of silver is enough to live a good year.Brother and sister can not only add some new clothes, but also eat some good food.Ajiao entrusted someone to take the silver back, and Xingyao looked at her, but couldn't help calling her stupid.

"This shot is ten taels, you just wait to continue giving the money." Xing Yao said dissatisfied.

Ajiao smiled, but said nothing.Of course she is not stupid, but it is indeed strange that blood is thicker than water. She can't see her younger siblings being wronged. She knows that this is just an excuse to ask for money, and spending it on younger siblings is only part of it, but she thinks, It would be nice to make them feel better.After the new year, she will be fourteen, and there are six more years before she can leave the house.It was too late for her to save money in the past six years.

After the two said this, they were walking on the path, and laughter suddenly came from the yard.Xingyao saw from a distance a handsome young man in a blue robe in the octagonal pavilion, with a face like a jade crown, red lips and white teeth, very handsome.Listening to the six girls in a cherry red brocade jacket calling out "Tang wood" and "Tang idiot" one by one.

Childhood sweethearts, no guesses.
