Taoyao Order

Chapter 64

The two of them were talking, and the dishes arranged by the waiter were put out one after another. The two of them used their chopsticks and ate slowly. As if thinking of something, Tao Yao suddenly spoke: "Next ten days, it's... Mr. Chen’s second son is one month old, do you have time to go over for a banquet?”

Hearing this, Chu Ping had an expression on his face. He thought about it again and again, but finally resigned: "To be honest, I used to go to our orphanage on the tenth day of every month to teach the orphans there to read. I told them last time. I agreed to go on leave this ten days. If I didn't go, I was afraid of breaking the hearts of the children. Besides, Mr. Chen's family did not send invitations to the students in the library for the full moon wine, so I went there rashly. Abrupt."

This was just one of them, but Chu Ping felt in his heart that the Shao family and others he met at Chen's house last time really made him unhappy.He didn't really want to see Shao and others again, and it was a banquet like this, but it was very boring for a group of men to drink and brag. Chu Ping didn't like to join in such fun at first.If it was for Tao Yao, then the foreigner would definitely be in the same place, and the female relatives would be in the same place. It was not easy to meet in private at such a time, as it was inevitable that someone would catch him and cause trouble.

Seeing Chu Ping's resignation, Tao Yao was a little unhappy at first, after all, she was the one who invited him.But after hearing his reasons, Tao Yao couldn't help but smile. Going to the children in the almshouse to study was indeed much better than having a banquet.

Tao Yao was even a little tempted and wanted to follow him to have a look, but unfortunately she had already agreed in front of Tao Yu. She was afraid of regretting it again, so she could only say: "Okay then, it won't be a problem."

Seeing that Taoyao's expression was as usual, Chu Ping breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

While the two of them were talking, Chu Ping had a hasty lunch and had to go back to the library later in the afternoon. He went out to eat at noon, and going back and forth was time-consuming. Moreover, Mr. Qi, who teaches classics and history, was so difficult to talk to later in the afternoon, so he still had to go Asking for leave for my brother, I'm afraid it will be even worse if I am late again.

So he got up early and said goodbye to Taoyao. Taoyao thought that he was "in trouble" now, so she didn't embarrass him and got up to see him out.It's just that Taoyao herself has always followed the health-preserving rule of "Don't eat in a hurry, as being in a hurry will damage the spleen, chew it carefully when it's cooked", so she only used a few chopsticks on the table full of delicacies.

Chu Ping stopped her: "It's my fault today that I can't accompany the girl to eat slowly. There is no need for the girl to give it away. You can sit down and eat slowly."

Tao Yao was just about to say something when she suddenly heard a thunder outside. Tao Yao opened the window and saw that above the West Lake, the mountains were empty and it was already raining heavily.

The willow trees by the lake hang down their whirling willow silks. The breeze blows and the dancing willow silks gently caress the lake water. The Cangshan Mountain in the distance is shrouded in clouds and mist, looming like a splash-ink landscape.

The drizzle is sprinkled on the lake, and the raindrops linger with the lake water, bringing fresh water vapor, refreshing and pleasant, making people feel refreshed.

Tao Yao loved the scenery outside the window so much. She was overjoyed now that she didn't have to do needlework or study.

But Chu Ping looked troubled. He came on horseback and didn't bring any rain gear.

Tao Yao looked at the bitter face and couldn't help laughing for no reason, and said: "Young Master, if you don't mind, you can take my carriage back to the library."

Chu Ping thanked Tao Yao.

Tao Yao also got up and escorted him downstairs. She called Tao Yi and asked him to drive Chu Ping back to the library. She also borrowed a set of raincoats from the waiter in the store for Tao Yi.

Tao Yi thanked Tao Yao and waited for the waiter to bring him the raincoat and gave Chu Ping an oil-paper umbrella.

Tao Yao looked at the rain outside the window with great interest. She also thought that Qian Yu was going out tomorrow, and Zhao Wanrong must be very busy. The two of them had to say goodbye again and again. It was inconvenient for her to bother her, so it was better to wait until she got there someday. Sora went to talk to her again.

However, I couldn’t live up to the light rainy spring scenery of the West Lake today, so I asked the waiter: “Is there anyone available for the Tianxiang Tower’s lake tour boat?”

The waiter smiled and said: "There are some. I'll give you Old Liu Tou. He's the most stable rower."

Tao Yao said happily: "Help me move the beautiful food to the boat on the lake, and warm up a pot of wine for me. The drizzle in the spring scenery of the West Lake is the best match for the delicacies of your Tianxiang Tower." The waiter responded. Let's make arrangements.

Chu Ping was standing at the door, waiting for Tao Yi to put on his raincoat to catch the carriage. He watched Tao Yao happily get on the boat from the lakeside inn at the side door of Tianxiang Tower, helped by the waiter, with a small boat and a small boat. A pot of old wine and a plate full of delicacies. On this rainy day, I went boating on the lake and watched the continuous spring rain. From admiring the scenery near the lake, looking at the distant mountains and waters, until I entered the painting and became a scene of the lake and mountains, I felt so free and at ease.

Chu Ping longed for it, but he had no choice but to be trapped in the mundane world. He could only call the waiter to come and pay Taoyao the money she needed for a drink and a lake tour today.

After a while, everything about Old Master Qi could no longer reach Chu Ping's ears and eyes. He sat in the school, and all his thoughts turned into Taoyao on the boating lake.

Chu Ping felt a little regret in his heart. He had just promised her that if she wanted to go somewhere, she would accompany her. But now, she was boating on the lake, and he was here.

He couldn't help but turn his head and look at the drizzle outside the window, dripping down along the eaves.

Even Old Master Qi was surprised when he saw it. Chu Ping, who had always been concentrating on his work, was distracted. He stared at the rain outside the window and didn't know what he was thinking.

The classics and history books that were originally interesting became dull against the backdrop of the continuous drizzle outside. Chu Ping had never found reading so difficult. Chu Ping suddenly laughed as if he was self-deprecating. No wonder Tao Yao didn't Likes to read.

There were so many elegant and interesting things in her mind that it was strange that she found reading boring.

When Chu Ping finally got out of late school, he couldn't help but ride back to Tianxiang Tower. As expected, he asked the waiter carefully and found that Taoyao had come to enjoy himself and returned home happily.

Chu Ping couldn't help but ask: "Miss Tao ordered someone to warm the wine. Were you drunk when you left?"

The waiter laughed and said: "Miss Tao has a bad stomach, so she doesn't drink often. After warming a pot of wine, she just pours a small cup and takes a sip to cheer her up. It's just like she never drinks tea. Every time she comes back , but they also put a cup of tea next to it, just smell it a little, and what they want is the flavor of wine made in a boat.

The wine was all given to Old Liu, and you see, Old Liu is still asleep. "

As he said that, Chu Ping looked out from the side door of Tianxiang Tower and saw an old man wearing a raincoat sleeping on the boat outside the short inn, leaning on the awning, and snoring could be heard from time to time.

Chu Ping smiled and shook his head, she was really an interesting girl.

He seems to be acting haphazardly, but he also knows how to advance and retreat, and knows how to control himself.

But what Chu Ping was surprised by in the waiter's words was that Taoyao never drank tea.

Suddenly I remembered that I gave her tea for the first time when I saw her, and I felt a little uneasy.

It turns out that I followed my own preferences and took the trouble to choose the ones for her, but she didn't like them.This may not be her fault, or maybe she just doesn't know her well enough, what she likes and what she doesn't like.

Giving a gift as a sign of goodwill is meant to be liked by the person receiving it. If the person giving the gift is happy but the person receiving the gift does not like it, then all the good things will not count.
