The carriage of the Xu family slowly drove into Jiashanfang, this house, Mrs. Xu has not returned for decades. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info the familiar scenery in the car gradually retreated, I can't help but feel a little emotional, things are not people.

Those shops, houses, stone lions and archways on the side of the road are still the same, but none of those familiar faces can be seen.

The carriage stopped in front of a courtyard gate with a plaque of "Xu Mansion". Although this house has three entrances, the capital is every inch of land, and the area is only larger than that of Qingzhuyuan.

In the capital, the Xu family is just a merchant, and the main family has no official position, so it cannot be called a "house", but only a "house". Pay attention to a lot less, the main gate for the main house and distinguished guests to enter and exit, the next person out of the house to do business on the back corner door.

At this time, the middle door of the house was wide open, and someone came out to remove the threshold, drove the carriage directly in, and got off in front of the second gate.

In front of the hanging flower gate, Han Runiang was eagerly looking forward to their arrival with a painting fan. Since the Xu family came to pass the word, she packed up and waited for it.

Old Madam Xu got out of the car, Han Runiang hurriedly stepped forward to help, and said, "I've seen the old lady, come in and rest." ”

Xu Wanzhen took Xu Wenyu and followed her into the door. Seeing that this house has a square layout, although the area is not large, it is small and exquisite, clean and elegant. Here, it is the industry that completely belongs to the Xu family. The Tu family is just a temporary residence.

Han Runiang helped Mrs. Xu into the main courtyard of the house. This courtyard was originally reserved for Mrs. Xu. When Xu Changzong went to Beijing to talk about business, because he had no female dependents, he took Xu Wenmin to live in the outer courtyard outside the second gate, and the inner house was never occupied, but it was just cleaned by his mother-in-law.

Han Runiang arrived here, adding a bit of vitality to the inner house. She took the two of them with a painting fan and lived in a guest house in the backyard.

The structure of the house in the capital is almost the same, the main courtyard, the guest house, the hall, the hugging building, the ear room, the verandah, at a glance. As the daughter of a former official family, she doesn't need to be talked about, and she knows the courtyard she should live in.

In the past few days, she has nothing to do, and she has the money given by the second son of He in hand, so she added a lot of things to the inner house.

Not only the guest house, but also in the main courtyard, she also packed up, added bedding, washing and other daily necessities, and arranged for her subordinates to sprinkle and clean every day.

In this regard, the painting fan has always been quite complaining, always muttering: "What to do with this unjust money? I bought something for the Xu family, and I can't take it away when the time comes." "With this spare money, how nice it would be to give her some from between her fingers. She didn't want to think about how much she had taken from Han Runiang before.

The painting fan passed through Yangzhou, and it no longer dared to interfere at will as before. So she muttered hers, Han Runiang was her own, she thought, since Mrs. Xu was temporarily living in the Tu family, this house always had to come back from time to time.

Sure enough, she thought well, and Mrs. Xu came today.

Mrs. Xu entered the courtyard, her eyes were clean and tidy, and she praised: "Ru Niang is a good housekeeper. ”

Han Runiang said softly: "Where do you dare to be the praise of the old lady, since Ru Niang lives here, she just does her best." ”

Xu Wenyu came to a new place, curiously touched east and west, and asked, "Sister, where is this? Why haven't I been here?" ”

Xu Wanzhen replied with a smile: "Don't say it's you, Sister is also here for the first time." This is our Xu family, the house in the capital. When Daddy was in the capital, he lived here. ”

Xu Wenyu's eyes were shining, and he asked, "Really, what about Daddy, let's go find Daddy." ”

Xu Changzong does not spend much time in the capital every year, usually arriving at the end of summer and returning to Suzhou before the snow closes the river. If the old year is not an accident, it is necessary to rush back to Suzhou for the New Year. Therefore, although Xu Wenyu is young, he has a deep impression of Xu Changzong.

Tong Yan was unscrupulous, but Xu Wanzhen was slammed in her heart. Daddy's case has always been a big stone in her heart. took a deep breath and said slowly: "Daddy is not here now, Yu'er will be able to see Daddy in the afternoon." ”

"Wow, that's great!" Xu Wenyu cheered.

The group entered the room, and Mrs. Xu sat down in the main seat, drew a fan and made three cups of tea, and presented them to the three of them.

"Sister Ru Niang, are you here, what are your habits of living?" asked Xu Wanzhen.

"Well, everything is fine, sister rest assured. After Han Runiang finished answering, she turned her head and instructed the painting fan: "You go and bring my recent paintings and show them to my sister." ”

The fan knew that this was to break her up and talk about some private matters. She rolled her eyes in her heart and didn't mention it.

When she went out, Yulu went to the door with great eyes to guard and not let people approach.

Mrs. Xu said: "Your father, my father has personally written a letter. It's just that the Tu family is in Mengzhou, although it is not far away, but it takes time to exchange letters. You can live in peace, and it is estimated that there should be news in the rest of the month. ”

Han Runiang responded softly, and no longer said thank you. This is a big favor, and repeated thank-you seems hypocritical.

"Sister Ru Niang, you only have a fan here, and her temperament is extremely inappropriate. It just so happens that we are also going to enter people, so I'll find a few for you, let Mama Zheng train them, and send them to you. Xu Wanzhen said.

The girl who paints the fan, has a frivolous personality and is greedy for money, and she does things in an undisciplined way, which is a disaster. She knows Han Runiang's life experience well, and if she really wants to come to the He family as a dowry maid, I am afraid that it will bring disaster to Han Runiang. If she accidentally leaks her mouth one day, how can Han Runiang gain a foothold in the He family's back house?

Therefore, Xu Wanzhen has always wanted to dispose of her. But it can't be sold easily, who knows what she will say nonsense when she gets to the next place? Any news that leaks out will affect Han Runiang's reputation. Therefore, Xu Wanzhen has not been able to think about what to do with the painting fan.

Han Runiang is just kind-natured, but since she figured it out, she also had a headache about the disposal of the painting fan. This person obviously can't go to the He family with her, she knows her details very well, if she really wants to go with her, then she can't be coerced by her?

I can't go to the Xu family, my new identity is a distant relative of the Xu family, and if the fan spreads rumors in the Xu family, the impact will be even greater. His identity will not stand up to scrutiny.

In the same way, it doesn't work to sell to someone else. Han Runiang felt nostalgic for her life experience, no matter how good she was to paint a fan, she also served her, and she couldn't bear to push her into that fire pit.

However, at least until a new maid arrives, there must be a solution. The little maids are all communicating with each other, and they can't hide any news when they get together. When the time comes, more people will know.

The disposal of the painting fan is really inlight and heavy, and there is nowhere to go for a while. Thinking of this, Han Runiang had a headache and held her forehead, how is this good?

Xu Wanzhen saw her like this, and said, "Sister Ru Niang is not in a hurry, I also want to think of ideas." Just dispose of the fan before the new maid arrives. ”

When Mrs. Xu saw the two discussing the matter of painting a fan, she looked at it happily and did not speak.

These are things they always have to go through. After taking the idea yourself, you will know if you are doing the right thing. Now that I have my own watch, even if something goes wrong, I can sew up one or two things afterwards.

It's better than in the future, they are really in charge, and it's good if they make mistakes or omissions. At that time, if something goes wrong, they will have to swallow the bitter fruit themselves. (To be continued.) )
