Xiao Xian glanced at him, "That's what you did back then, which made the old man scared. He kept thinking about not being able to get out, so he couldn't help but worry."
Mo Ruhui smiled sheepishly, "Ashamed, ashamed!"
Shen Mingtang also came over, and they introduced each other, exchanged greetings, and got along well with each other.
Shen Mingtang is a civil servant, and Mo Ruhui is a counselor. Originally, the civil servants looked down upon counselors, thinking that they relied on a little cleverness to take advantage, and they might not be able to succeed in the imperial examination if they took the official examination. The counselors also looked down on some civil servants, thinking that they were just good flatterers. If he
It's not because of status restrictions that he can't take the imperial examination, otherwise he would definitely be better than those officials.
This was not the case for Shen Mingtang and Mo Ruhui. Mo Ruhui admired his youthful success, and Shen Mingtang also praised him for his extraordinary resourcefulness and the fact that he was always remembered by the prince, which showed that he was a very powerful counselor and strategist.
Seeing them complimenting each other, Shen Mingzhu pursed her lips and smiled, and asked Xiao Xian to go with her. The two accompanied the old lady to see her yard.
Xiao Xian saw that Shen Mingzhu had placed the old lady in a small courtyard. Although there was no shortage of everything there, it was a bit crude for entertaining guests, especially such valued guests.
However, he believed in Shen Mingzhu and just thought that she must have some interesting ideas, so he followed her.
The old lady looked around and said happily: "It's very good here. I'm very satisfied with it. The yard is not too big and not too small. I like the room, which is clean, tidy and simple. There's also a well and a small backyard where I can raise chickens. It's very good."
.”
This courtyard is just an ordinary place in Shen Mingzhu's compound, and some respectable housekeepers and girls live in a room that is more spacious than here.
But Shen Mingzhu has long understood the old lady's temper, and she always does this when giving things. A good gift is not as good as a happy gift.
The old lady has been accustomed to being thrifty all her life. If it is too big, she will not be practical; if it is too small, she will panic.
Just like this, a small courtyard house is just right, with people living in the main courtyard, three main rooms, one bright and two dark, and two second bedrooms.
One of the second bedrooms is used as a kitchen and the other is used as a clean room.
Also has a stuff compartment.
The east wing can be used as a study and reception room for Mo Ruhui, and the west wing can be used as a living room for Mo Ruhui.
There is also a small backyard and a row of houses where the girl and the old lady can live, and there is also a chicken coop and a chicken coop for the old lady to raise a few chickens to pass the time.
Old people are like this. They are not accustomed to a new environment, but as long as the work is the same, she can blend in immediately.
Let her feed chickens and collect eggs every day, and she will get used to it. It is no different from home.
Mrs. Mo was very satisfied and took Shen Mingzhu's hand and kept saying that she was virtuous.
"Miss Shen, do you have an in-law?" The old lady looked at Shen Mingzhu, her eyes sparkling.
Xiao Xian's heart immediately sounded alarm. Before Shen Mingzhu could speak, he immediately said with a smile: "Old lady, this is my wife. We will get married in two years."
Mrs. Mo immediately showed a look of disappointment, and then smiled again, "It doesn't matter, we haven't gotten married yet, there are still two years left, Mingzhu, let me tell you, you and we are very similar, maybe you will like him."
It’s over.”
Xiao Xian had a cold sweat on his face. He had invited someone to poach him, and he had to find a way to get the old lady to give up that idea.
Everything else doesn't matter, except when it comes to Mingzhu, you can't be careless or slack at all.
He smiled quickly and said: "Old lady, Mingzhu has found a wife for Ruhui."
