"Oh, you didn't mention it, I almost forgot. Isn't this the young lady Yuning, who has a high status in front of Master? Please accept my greetings." As she spoke, she gave a very perfunctory curtsy.

  Yu Ningqi's anger was so intense she wanted to slap him, but now, she couldn't.

  "That's all I have to say. I'm leaving." Yu Ning said with restraint.

  "You haven't finished speaking." Yutai smiled: "Sister, you've ruined a good tree. This was brought from the south by Master's orders. You broke off a branch like this, it's a sin!"

  It was really too close, Ye Zao and A Yuan saw it as soon as they came out.

  But it's not suitable for going anywhere.

  So he took A Yuan and went over there.

  "Oh, isn't this Miss Ye? Greetings to you." Yutai and the round-faced little maid curtsied together.

  "Get up, we're all the same." Ye Zao smiled and helped her up.

  "Is the girl just being modest, or is it really the same? Is this a test? Can't we just call Ah Yuan instead?" Yu Ti wasn't seeing Ye Zao for the first time either, mainly because she was serving in the garden, and Ye Zao's Jin Yu Pavilion was right next to the garden.

  From time to time, I see that the more I see, the more I know that this person is favored, so generally, I won't make things difficult for them, and instead, take good care of them.

  "I'm free too, it's good to take a walk." Ye Zao glanced at Yu Ning.

  Then he said with a smile: "I've seen your sister."

  At her age, Yuning is six years older than her... But who let Yuning be the youngest of the Fourth Master's concubines?

  Yu Ning almost gritted his teeth, but still bowed: "I've seen Miss Ye."

  "Looks like you're busy, I won't disturb you, I'll leave first. If I go late, there's nothing good to eat." Ye Zao smiled mischievously.

  Yu Tai's eyes flickered: "You said that, the kitchen will keep it for the young lady."

  Ye Zao went over and whispered to her: "I'll get you a plate of Osmanthus cake."

  Yu Tai's eyes narrowed into a smile, and she whispered: "Then I'll go eat whatever you say this afternoon."

  The two of them laughed and dispersed.

  "You're good at flattering and stepping on others, but unfortunately, Ye Shi is just a concubine. No matter how much you try to curry favor, it's useless!" Yu Ning couldn't help but say.

  I wonder who is trying to curry favor with whom?

  Is it also worth befriending Ye who serves in a garden?

  "It's the same for a concubine, look at others, they go to the dining room to clear their minds. And you? You have to go, if not, you'll starve! Yu Ti couldn't help but smile: "What's going on? It's all like this, and no one looks down on anyone?"

  "Others have been proud for over a decade, can they swallow this now?" The round-faced little maid said with a smile: "Besides, although Miss Ye is a concubine, who doesn't know that her family used to be officials, literate and knowledgeable. She's also kind and has never made things difficult for others."

  In other words, Yuning likes to make things difficult for others.

  It's often said that one should respect those in high positions and look down on those in low positions. However, when someone falls from a high position, their original character is also revealed.

  It's true that people have a tendency to bully others. However, there is a limit to how much someone who has never bullied others can be bullied themselves.

  Unless they are really bad people who specialize in bullying honest people, that's a different story.

  Ordinary people really don't have anyone as hated by all as Yu Ning.

  It can be seen that she had offended many people at first, so she encountered obstacles everywhere.

  After entangling with Yu Ti for a long time, Yu Ning finally went to the dining room.

  On the other side, Jin Yu Ge has already started eating.

  When she arrived at the dining room, the people in the dining room also didn't want to see her.

  Xiao Shunzi was too lazy to bother with her, and was still a small eunuch. He said he would go get something, but ended up taking half an hour.

  Yunying carried the cold lunchbox back to her own courtyard, and tears followed.

  No need to look, I already know what kind of person is inside.

  How can she eat in such cold weather?

  There is charcoal in her house, but what kind of charcoal is that? It's all smoke when burned. Open the window and it's cold; don't open it and you'll be choked...

  Even drinking water requires you to boil it yourself and carry it yourself...

  She sat down there and burst into tears. The only advantage was that in this courtyard, she was the only one, and no one would hear her even if she cried to death.

  In the end, I boiled a pot of water myself and had some rice porridge with vegetable soup.

  Can't starve myself to death.

  Having eaten enough and having no time to rest, I have to continue copying scriptures.

  Ten days... such a thick scripture.

  Yunying still can't read...

  Don't ask me how I copied scriptures without knowing characters. Well, how else can it be said that it's hard for her? Drawing a calabaza by tracing a ladle.

  Yè zǎo came here and after eating his fill, he went to rest.

  In the afternoon, Xiaogui came to the front yard.

  "Give my regards to the young lady." Little Guizi made a very polite bow.

  "What's this? Wishing you peace." Ye Zao didn't lose his composure at all, smiling and bowing.

  "Hey, get up quickly, this is sent by Master. Look, it's adorable." Little Guizi smiled and opened the basket in his hand.

  Inside was a small puppy with black fur, looking like a Pekingese but not quite, probably a breed she had never seen before.

  "What's this for?" Ye Zao asked in surprise.

  "It's true, isn't it? The master had someone fetch these dogs from the palace, two in total. One was sent to Li Ce Fu Jun's side for Big Sister, and this one is yours." Little Gui Zi said with a smile.

  "Thank you, I like it." Ye Zao liked animals very much, so he smiled and accepted.

  Before leaving, Xiaogui received another two taels of silver and accepted it with a big smile.

  Ye Zao opened the cage and took out the little puppy. The puppy looked like it was only two months old, clean and washed.

  It's getting better.

  Big eyes stared at Ye Zao, then sensibly licked her once.

  "Wow, so cute! What's this little dog called?" Ah Yuan came over and petted it too, also liking it.

  "You say, is it good to call him Coal Ball? A humble name is easy to live with, isn't it?" Ye Zao smiled with narrowed eyes.

  A-Ling and A-Yuan exchanged a glance, both wanting to laugh: "This is also too..."

  "Cough cough, let's call him Coal Ball, Coal Ball, do you like it?" Ye Zao rubbed the puppy's little head.

  Like or dislike the name...... The dog didn't say, but the dog seems to like this new owner. After being rubbed by her, it softly barked: "Woof woof..."

  Ye Zao followed with a smile: "You go ask, how to raise a dog?" In this life or the next, I really haven't raised a dog before...

  A Yuan and A Ling were both little girls, they also liked it, and hurriedly went.

  In the garden, there were dogs raised by the master's family, and if you ask the eunuchs who raised the dogs, they would know.

  Ye Zao has picked up the little puppy: "Mei Qiu, this is your new home, you have to behave and not run around."

  This dog is going out, but it's going to cause trouble. Later on, we need to keep an eye on it and not let it run around wildly. Otherwise... even if someone beats it to death, there'll be no place to reason with them.

  Xiao Gui returned to the front yard and went to see Su Peisheng: "Grandfather Su, it's been delivered. Ye Niang liked it very much, her eyes widened as soon as she saw it."

  "That's good, you little scamp, take the silver then? Miss Ye is generous, you won't lose out by walking a few more times." Su Peisheng said with a smile.
