Chapter 44
Chapter 44
"master!"

When Rong Li heard the sound, she was so frightened that she almost let go of the leaf in her hand, and she stopped looking at the place where she was staring at before, but looked at the source of the sound, she felt a little headache.

"How can you climb a tree, it's so dangerous, come down quickly!" Xiao Tao stood in the yard and shouted to Rong Li on the tree, her expression was as serious as she wanted.

Rong Li sighed helplessly, she was not afraid of anything but her little girl.

Clumsily climbing down the tree, thinking how could she not be nagged by Xiaotao, but before she could figure out how to avoid it, Xiaotao took a small handkerchief and helped her sweep the dust off her dress while thinking about it .

"Master, how can you be so dishonest? The servant has only slept for a while, and you are doing such a dangerous thing. What if you fall off? Is it just a joke? You can't play anywhere in our yard, you must If you want to go up the tree, you can go to Xinxueyuan if you are really bored, why is it so annoying."

At this time, Rongli only had to be scolded, although Xiaotao usually listened to her in everything, but when it came to safety issues, Xiaotao was terribly stubborn.

"Okay, Xiao Tao, I'm not a child." Rong Li is very embarrassed now.

"You also know that you are not a child anymore, and you still have to climb trees, do you know how dangerous it is..." Xiao Tao continued.

"Okay, okay, I was wrong, really, I will never climb a tree again, I promise!" Rong Li hurriedly interrupted Xiao Tao, otherwise the girl would not be able to stop for a while.

"Really?" Xiao Tao didn't believe it.

"Really." Rong Li hurriedly assured.

"It's more or less the same." Xiaotao was finally satisfied, she was afraid that the master would be in danger, what if he got hurt.

"Girl, I told you to rest for a long time, why are you up now?"

"I can't sleep, I went to your room, but I didn't know you were not there. There was a little song playing in our yard again, and I was still wondering who played it. I searched for a long time." Xiao Tao gave Rongli a vicious look, "You were here for a long time. Blown from a tree."

"Hehe..." Rong Li laughed dryly, thinking in his heart, should he really ask two little maids to come in to relieve Xiao Tao, otherwise he would keep watching her and not letting her do this or that.

"Master, are you planning some bad idea?" Xiao Tao gave Rongli a sideways look.

"No, no, how can I do it? Hey, I've had lunch early, and I'm a little hungry now," Rong Li laughed, and quickly changed the subject, "Girl, go get something to eat from Mrs. Gu's."

"Are you hungry? This servant is going now, you go back to the house for a rest."

After all, he was ready to go to the kitchen.

"Hey," Rong Li called Xiao Tao again, "By the way, tell Miss Gu that when I prepare breakfast tomorrow, I'll bring it with some lean meat, egg yolk, and banyan fruit."

After Rongli finished speaking, Xiaotao was surprised, "Master, what are you doing?"

"Master, I have my own use. You just need to come. By the way, tell Mrs. Gu that the meat should be roasted. You don't need to prepare too much," Rong Li added after thinking for a while.

"Uh..." Xiaotao was completely dazed, and she wanted to barbecue. Doesn't the master don't like grilled things?
"What are you still doing in a daze, hurry up." Rong Li waved his hand, "Hurry up and come back."

"Oh, I know." Xiaotao went to the kitchen to look for Mrs. Gu. On the way, she was still thinking about what Rongli wanted, but her little head really couldn't think of it, so she simply didn't think about it. Anyway, the master has his own reasons.

It's still early now, before it's time to prepare dinner, Xiao Tao went to the small wing where Mrs. Gu lived to find someone.

"Aunt Gu, are you there?" Xiaotao entered the room through the curtain.

"Xiao Tao? Why are you here?" Mrs. Gu put down the book in her hand, and pulled Xiao Tao into the room, "Sit down quickly, why are you here all of a sudden? But what does the princess need?"

While talking, he got a bowl of water for Xiaotao. They are cooks, they are also considered as servants in the mansion, and they don't have tea.

"Don't be too busy, Aunt Gu." Xiaotao took the water and put it on the table, "Master is hungry, why don't you send me to ask for something to eat? Do you have any snacks?"

"Yes, just wait, I'll pretend for you right now." Gu Niangzi said and was about to go out.

"I'll go with you. How can there be any reason to only let you work?" Xiaotao stood up, "You can't refuse, I've always regarded you as an elder, so don't be polite to me."

Mrs. Gu originally wanted Xiao Tao to wait in the house, and the kitchen is not a clean place, so she laughed when she heard Xiao Tao say this, "Okay, okay, I won't refuse, you go with me."

When the two came to the kitchen, Mrs. Gu took out the semi-finished snacks and put them on the fire to warm them up, "The kitchen is no better than the house. If you feel hot, go inside and stay."

The temperature in the kitchen is higher than that in the other places, Mrs. Gu is afraid that Xiao Tao will not be able to bear it.

"It's okay, Aunt Gu, it's not too hot here, we can still talk." Xiao Tao is not a delicate person, and she likes Miss Gu, so naturally she won't leave Miss Gu and go into the house by herself.

"By the way, Aunt Gu, master told me to prepare more things for breakfast, roasted lean meat, egg yolk and banyan fruit." Xiao Tao told Rongli what she needed.

"Barbecue?" Miss Gu grasped the point, "Why does the princess want to eat barbecue?" She remembered that the princess didn't like it.

"I don't know either," Xiaotao shook her head, "That's what the master told me."

"That's it," Gu Niangzi nodded, she was a little curious, but Xiaotao didn't know anything, so she couldn't ask again, "Success, I'll prepare it for the princess tomorrow."

At this moment, the dim sum on the fire is also hot, Mrs. Gu hurriedly went to put it on the plate, Xiao Tao helped, and after putting it into the food box, Xiao Tao said, "Aunt Gu, I'll go back first, don't forget what the master asked for."

"Don't worry," Mrs. Gu said with a smile, "It must be ready tomorrow."

After Xiaotao returned to the Mufu Courtyard with the food box, she went straight into the main hall, and saw Rongli sitting by the table alone, with a big glazed cup on the table, sewing something in her hand.

"Master, what are you doing?" Xiaotao put the food box aside, why does the master act in such a strange way today, he doesn't touch needles and threads on weekdays.

"Are you back?" Rong Li raised his eyes to look at Xiao Tao, and then devoted himself to the finishing work at hand, sewed two stitches, Rong Li tied the thread in a knot, and finally the work was done.

Xiaotao saw Rongli holding a nearly transparent silk cloth and putting it on the glass cup, and said, "I'm so talented, girl, come and see, how about it?"

After speaking, he shook the things in his hand as if offering a treasure.

The corner of Xiaotao's mouth twitched, and the glazed cup was put on a rim, how did the master come up with this idea?
"Master, what are you doing with this?" Xiaotao felt that she was too stupid, why didn't she understand what the master was doing?
"Let's just do it and have nothing to do." Rong Li looked at the things in his hand again and was extremely satisfied.

"Girl, go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion tomorrow and send me some things."

"Yes," Xiaotao agreed, the master can't go back to the prime minister's mansion after marrying, so the task of delivering things falls on her, "Master, let's eat something first, it won't taste good if it gets cold."

"Bring it here." Rong Li put the glazed cup aside.
