Within a few days, Zhang Manyun came to Mu Qiyue's house with Wang Qingyan. Because Wang Qingyan's family background was higher than Zhang Manyun's, Lin Zhu sent Fu Dou'er, Feng Rongxuan and Haizi to Mu Qiyue's house to be cautious.
The name is, let Fu Dou'er get closer to his fourth uncle.
How could Mu Qiyue not understand what Lin Zhu was thinking, which was to hide Fu Dou'er and let Fu Dou'er trip him up and prevent him from going to her house casually. However, he didn't want anyone to know that he was here, so he was happy
Agree to her request.
In order to ease Zhang Manyun's heart, Lin Zhu went to the door to greet him personally.
The arrival of the two of them also allowed Lin Zhu to see the pomp of the ladies traveling. For the two of them, four carriages and about twenty people came. But when you go to the countryside, you have to follow the customs. Since this is the rule here, Lin Zhu
I won't go out of my way to say anything about it. If I really raise objections, I might be accused of being ignorant.
"Sister Yun, Sister Yan, thank you for your hard work along the way." Lin Zhu stood at the gate with a smile. After Zhang Manyun and Wang Qingyan got off the carriage, they stepped forward to greet them.
"Sister Zhu, we are really disturbing you when we come here this time." Zhang Manyun and Wang Qingyan heard Lin Zhu call them that, and knew that she was not dissatisfied with them. They felt relieved and smiled at her.
noise.
"Although the weather is not too hot now, you two sisters have been riding in the carriage for a long time. Please go inside and rest for a while." It is indeed a bit hot in June. Some carriage drivers, maids and the like
, there was a small amount of sweat on my forehead.
"Then we are more respectful than obeying orders." Zhang Manyun and Wang Qingyan gradually let go and entered the door hand in hand with Lin Zhu and walked towards the flower hall.
Lin Zhu had already tidied up their residence. In order to facilitate them, he tidied up the entire backyard and let their masters and servants live in it. Of course, the male servants had other arrangements.
"Sister Yun, Sister Yan, you guys have a rest for a while. I will invite you over for lunch." After Lin Zhu settled them down, he left. Zhang Manyun was a little better. He had lived in such a country yard, but
This is Wang Qingyan's first time, and she always feels a little uncomfortable, so it's better to let them handle it by themselves.
This time Zhang Manyun and Wang Qingyan came over. The family was afraid that they would be inconvenient in the countryside and would be wronged, so they specially arranged for some more waiters to come with them. Each of them had two personal maids, one for the nurturing mother and two for the nurturing mother.
The second-class maids, two rough maids, and a mother-in-law all lived in the backyard. Fortunately, there were many houses built, so there were no more than five or six people living in one room.
"Miss, although this is the countryside, it doesn't look too shabby." The eldest maid Chunwen helped Wang Qingyan change clothes while looking around the house.
"Sister Chunwen is right. Miss, look at this wardrobe. This dressing table looks strange, but it is very convenient to use." Another personal maid, Xia Qing, said while instructing other maids to sort out her lady's clothes.
.
After hearing what she said, everyone took a closer look at the furnishings in the house.
Although the furniture in the house may not be made of particularly expensive wood, the beds, wardrobes, tables, and chairs are all of such novel styles, and the combination is very harmonious and beautiful.
The furniture prepared by Lin Zhu actually does not deviate from the category of classical furniture. It just introduces some modern furniture concepts. The wardrobe is in the form of a standing cabinet with shelves inside so that clothes can be hung inside.
There are wrinkles, but the table has not changed. It is still a round table, but it is matched with a chair instead of a round stool. The chair is a carved back chair with no armrests, and the backrest is lower, and the carving is also extremely simple.
Coupled with the overall fabric decoration in the house, it is very warm. There are also various small green plants placed in the corners of the house, and the environment in the house is really great.
"This way mother doesn't have to worry." Wang Qingyan also exhaled. She was not afraid of suffering, but mainly because her mother had never specifically wanted her to come here.
"Madam, you are caring about Miss Lin, but it is rare for Miss Lin's house to be in such good order. Later, Miss Lin will write a letter for the coachman to take back, so that Madam can feel at ease." Mrs. Qi, the upbringing mother, also said with a smile. She
She had been observing Lin Zhu and her home since she first entered the house, and only when she arrived at the house where Wang Qingyan lived did she feel relaxed and very satisfied.
Their understanding of country houses has always been that they are dirty and messy. Otherwise, people and animals are all mixed together in the same yard. But since they entered the door, they have not seen a chicken or duck. They have seen dogs, but only
From a distance, they did not come forward.
The yard is neat and clean everywhere, and the flowers and plants are arranged in clusters very cleverly, which not only does not block the road, but also makes the yard very lively.
What they didn't expect was that there were actually two rows of grapes planted in the backyard, and a shelf was set up as a pergola. When the breeze blew, people suddenly felt how comfortable it was to sit under it.
Among the people brought by Zhang Manyun were Aunt Wang and Xiao Qiu. At Zhang Manyun's instruction, they first said hello to Lin Zhu and then went to the kitchen to help.
In order to welcome them, Lin Zhu specially found a few early-maturing watermelons from the garden, two of them made watermelon chicken, and the others were going to be eaten later.
However, when Lin Zhu asked the kitchen to prepare the watermelon chicken, someone suddenly came over from next door to protest and wanted to eat watermelon chicken in the name of Fu Dou'er.
"Miss Lin, Master Fu heard that you prepared watermelon chicken, and suddenly he wanted to eat it too." The person sent here was Mu Feng, because he was more or less familiar with Lin Zhu's family, and he was more scheming.
Far less than others, so he is the first person to bear the brunt of this kind of thing.
"Really?" Lin Zhu raised an eyebrow and looked at him. Under Lin Zhu's scrutinizing gaze, a grown man actually had sweat on his forehead. Lin Zhu didn't want to bully an honest man anymore, so he said, "Okay, you go.
Find Xiaocao in the kitchen and she will prepare it for you."
Lin Zhu had ordered the kitchen a long time ago, and the food was ready for them.
"Thank you, Miss Lin. Hehehehe." Mu Feng got carried away for a moment and went out immediately. But when he got to the door, he remembered that it was rude to leave without saluting Lin Zhu. He turned around with a silly smile and thanked Lin Zhu, and then happily
Went to find Zhao Xiaocao.
Zhao Xiaocao had been helping in the kitchen. On the one hand, Lin Zhu really didn't need a maid around him at that time, and the kitchen was in urgent need of help. On the other hand, Zhao Xiaocao's cooking skills were also very good.
Seeing Mu Feng walk into the kitchen with a happy face, Zhao Xiaocao knew what he was here for. Ever since Mu Feng came to Lin Zhu's house, besides being around Fu Dou'er, he would always circle around the kitchen. When it was time to eat,
He arrived earlier than anyone else, so Zhao Xiaocao had a very deep impression on him.
"Miss Xiaocao, hehe, what are you busy with?" Mu Feng was very pleased with the second-in-command in the kitchen, and all the food on weekdays was in her hands.
"Why are you here?" Zhao Xiaocao deliberately made things difficult for him. It was very interesting to see this big man blushing because of what he ate.
"Haha, Master Fu wants to eat watermelon chicken. Didn't I just ask Miss Lin and she asked me to get it." Mu Feng scratched his head in embarrassment. He was really rude to this little girl who was six or seven years younger than him.
Get up.
"Over there, I've prepared everything for you." Xiaocao didn't make things too difficult for him. After all, he was here to protect Fu Dou'er, and his status was much higher than hers.
"Then thank you Miss Xiaocao." Mu Fenghan looked at Zhao Xiaocao with a smile, picked up the two big food boxes that belonged to them, and nodded to her, "Then I will leave first, Master Fu is still waiting.
It’s here.”
Zhao Xiaocao looked at Mu Feng walking out, smiled, and went to prepare the food again. There were many people today, and she didn't have much free time.
Mu Feng returned to Mu Qiyue's house with the food box in hand.
"Fourth Master, the food is here." He placed the food box on the table, opened it, and said to Mu Qiyue, who was playing with Fu Dou'er and the three little people.
"Okay, it's time for us to eat." Mu Qiyue clapped his hands and said to the three little people who were practicing writing. "Fu Dou'er, your face is too pretty, go and wash it quickly. Xuan Xuan and
Haizi also goes to wash it, you are no better than Fu Douer." Feng Rongxuan was the best, but his hands were still stained with a lot of ink.
After getting along with Fu Dou'er for a long time, Mu Qiyue's temperament has become much gentler. In the past, he would not pay attention to the children of his servants, let alone let them enter his living area. But now he can actually give guidance.
Feng Rongxuan and Haizi practice calligraphy, which is so rare.
When he was at Lin Zhu's house, because Fu Dou'er was still young, Lin Zhu asked Feng Rongxuan as his elder brother to guide Fu Dou'er and Haizi's table manners, so they all ate together. When they came to Mu Qiyue, they also followed the same rules.
Understood Lin Zhu’s rules.
Originally, Mu Qiyue strongly disagreed with Lin Zhu's approach. In his heart, he believed that servants were servants after all and could not eat at the same table as their masters.
But when he saw that Feng Rongxuan's etiquette was no worse than that of other young masters, and when Feng Rongxuan carefully took care of Fu Dou'er and Haizi while they were eating, the brotherly love really touched him, so he agreed with this approach.
.
Moreover, during these days in Wangcun, he only had Mu Feng and Mu Yun by his side, so he didn't pay too much attention to the rules and they all ate at the same table. On the contrary, he felt that this feeling was very good.
The peaceful life in Wangcun also made him feel happy both physically and mentally. It seemed that the things he had done in Prince Qing's Mansion had become insignificant. This made him linger over the life in Wangcun.
But reason tells him that life here is only temporary, and there are still many things waiting for him to do in the capital. I believe that some people are already anxious about his long absence. In any case, there are still a few people in the capital who really care.
His people are here. He cannot stay in Wangcun without returning to the capital.
I'm moving in the next two days, and I can finally live alone. I'm busy packing my things and organizing my place. After settling in, I will compensate all the book friends. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come.
