Chapter 15 Entering Beijing
Zhou Rui's family drove all the way back to Rongguo Mansion, and did not go to Rongqing Hall, where Jia's mother lived, but went directly to Mrs. Wang's courtyard. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Because the ships of the Xue Zhou family arrived after noon, Mrs. Wang was still resting and taking a nap at this time.
Jin Chu'er saw Zhou Rui's family coming, and hurriedly walked over to greet him. Zhou Rui's family is Mrs. Wang's companion, and she is also the person that Mrs. Wang relies on. Even if she is Mrs. Wang's eldest maid, Jin Chu'er still wants to give Zhou Rui's family some face.
"Sister Zhou, didn't Madame arrange for your family, are you waiting for Aunt Xue and Mrs. Xue on the dock these days?
"Isn't it? It's not just Aunt Xue's wife who arrives. Even the two Zhou sisters and brothers on the other side of the big room have also arrived together!"
When the two of them were talking, Mrs. Wang had already woken up! When she heard Zhou Rui's voice, she called someone in.
"Come here at noon, you are not too tired to panic!"
"Mrs. didn't let our family wait at the dock these days, but Aunt and Mrs. Xue arrived. Originally, when I was in my mother's house, the second wife, you and Mrs. Xue's family were too big and sisters! The two of you haven't seen each other for 20 years, aren't I afraid that Mrs. You'll be in a hurry?"
I heard that I had arrived at your house, so Mrs. Wang hurriedly ordered someone to clean up for herself.
"So that Mrs. knows that in addition to Mrs. Auntie, there is also the Zhou family. said that the two families met on the road, so they came together!"
Mrs. Wang's hand wearing an earring is a meal. After thinking about it for a long time, Mrs. Wang spoke again, "It was also their luck to enter Beijing with the Xue family." How many people did the two of them bring with them?"
"The family brought by the Xue family to Beijing is only four or five rooms, and there are two or three old mothers and little girls, and there must be twenty or thirty people. Even the master of the Zhou family brought his subordinates to add the two little yellers who came to the house to report the news, and there were only ten people!"
After thinking for a while, Mrs. Wang said, "I'm afraid that the cars and horses in the house are not enough, you go and tell the second grandmother Lian, let her go to the east mansion, and borrow a few more cars!"
After a little careful thinking about Zhou Rui's family, he also understood Mrs. Wang's intentions. I think there are a lot of carriages and horses doing business on the wharf, just rent a few of them, why go to Dongfu to borrow them? It's just that I want to respond to Wang Xifeng, and also add to the blockage of the two Zhou sisters and brothers, who makes her also a person from the big house?
――――――――
Wang Xifeng listened to Zhou Ruijia's words, although he was not happy, he did not say that he wanted to go to the east mansion to borrow a carriage. Isn't it just a few guests, and what kind of carriage do you have to borrow? It seems that the skills of your own housekeeper are not ordinary enough!
Mrs. Wang's idea of blocking Sister Feng'er came to naught, Wang Xifeng's mind no longer knew where she had gone astray?
"There are also seven or eight carriages of all sizes in the house, all of which are sent over, just let a few masters and grandmothers sit down, as for the rest, just let them rent a few carriages!"
Because Wang Xifeng was in charge of the house, Zhou Rui's family brought Mrs. Wang's words, and Sister Feng was not fooled, but she couldn't. For fear that Wang Xifeng would notice something wrong, Zhou Rui's family said another flattering word.
"The second grandmother is worthy of being a housekeeper, and the things she thinks about are thoughtful!" Wang Xifeng was also proud when she heard this!
――――――――
Zhou Muqing didn't know that he was almost calculated, and he was discussing some things with Zhou Mufeng.
"What does my brother think we would do if we bought a house in the capital?"
Zhou Mufeng asked suspiciously, "We won't stay in Beijing forever, and it's useless to buy a house." And we are going back to our hometown in Jiaxing after all!"
Zhou Muqing was very embarrassed, and wanted to tell Zhou Mufeng that his sister and brother would never go back to Jiaxing again. And it is also possible that the mother Chen has died. Because he didn't get a word, Zhou Muqing didn't dare to speak, in case Zhou Mufeng clamored to go back to the funeral, what would it be if he didn't go into the mouth of a tiger?
For wanting to buy a house in the capital, Zhou Muqing also has his own considerations. I think that after Lin Daiyu died in Lin Ruhai, she was alone in Rongguo Mansion, but there was no place to burn paper on the sacrifice day. In case the Chen family is really gone? Moreover, he still has a farm shop to take care of, and it is not convenient to be in his own home in Rongguo Mansion! Even if he is wronged and unhappy in Rongguo Mansion, he can also go back to his own house to rest and relax!
Zhou Muqing patiently explained to Brother Feng'er, "We have our own house in the capital, but it is much more convenient to go out, and my mother left us + a floor and a shop, which we have to watch often." This is my mother's private property, and I don't want other people to know about it, and when the time comes, I will go out of the house frequently, for fear of arousing suspicion, and if I want to live in my own house for a few days, it is okay!"
Although Zhou Mufeng is only nine years old, he is also very smart. Seeing that my sister was so eager to buy a house in the capital, although she explained so much to herself, she always felt that her sister was hiding something from her.
Since that day, I have been sick, and I always feel like my sister has changed as a person. Although I still care about myself, it seems to be a layer apart, and I am no longer as close as before!
"My sister doesn't tell me the truth, so how can you let me promise you casually?"
Zhou Muqing was also annoyed, feeling that he had been led astray by the emotional memory of the original owner again. always thinks that Zhou Mufeng is still the little child who needs to be protected. sorted out his thoughts, and told Zhou Mufeng everything he knew, as well as what Xiuwen said about Rongguo Mansion. Looking at the little boy frowning and thinking, but he felt funny, this cheap brother of his own is also very cute!
Mama Zhou and a few maids were packing their luggage and packages, but a group of ten people had 20 large wooden boxes. When I came, there were two sisters and brothers, one person had four large camphor wood boxes, and the maid and the maid were also one big wooden box per person.
Only Mama Zhou and Ziyuan have one more than the maids. The boxes of pomegranates and apples, Zhou Mu asked the four little girls to divide them equally! The empty boxes left behind were loaded with gifts for everyone in Rongguo Mansion.
When the group got on the carriage sent by Rongguo Mansion to pick up people, it was already the end of the Shen Shi and almost the time of You!
The carriages used to pull goods could only hold four large wooden boxes. Therefore, Zhou Muqing and his entourage used five carriages just to pull goods. But the Xue family used 20 carriages to pull goods.
And the carriage sent by the Jia family to carry people, the Zou family sat in two, and the rest were all given to the people of the Xue family. A group of 32 carriages drove mightily to Rongguo Mansion.
Gently lifting the corner of the carriage curtain, Zhou Muqing looked at this ancient capital with great interest.
Because it gets dark early in winter, I received a lot of businesses on both sides, all lit candles or oil lamps, and the pedestrians on the street were also endless, which was a bit like visiting the night market in the previous life!
