After arriving at Yangzhou City, stop and rest for two RBs, which is within Mrs. Xu's plan. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info There is a time-honored store in Yangzhou City, all of which have been in the Xu family for a lifetime. Although it is now sold to the He family, as an old owner, if you don't go to Yangzhou to see it, it will inevitably be chilling. After eight or nine days of sailing, the ship's supplies also needed to be replenished. As soon as the boat landed, Mrs. Xu had already ordered someone to go to the city to find an inn.

The group packed their luggage on the boat, although they only got off the boat for two days, but the female dependents were inconvenient to travel, and everything needed to be packed properly. Seeing that Sang Zi had received two large boxes, Xu Wanzhen smiled helplessly: "Your young lady and I are not married, why are you packing so much?"

On the side, Mama Zheng said solemnly: "Miss can't be so joking, how can the daughter of the boudoir talk about getting married?" Xu Wanzhen listened to the training: "Wanzhen knows." Mama Zheng bowed sideways. As Xu Wanzhen's upbringing, Mama Zheng has a transcendent status, in addition to teaching etiquette and behavior every day, Miss can be reprimanded immediately if she has inappropriate words and deeds.

Seeing Xu Wanzhen being trained, Sang Zi stuck out his tongue mischievously, pointed to the uncovered cage and said, "Miss, look." Guest house, bedding and pillows are always needed, right?" and pointed to the items in the cage one by one: "This cloak and hat need to be prepared, if it is useful, you can't buy it now." There are also bedclothes, shirts and skirts, jackets, shoes and socks, and winter clothes are already heavy, so this is packed in a box. The medicine box given by Su Sanye also has to be carried, and he can't trouble Su Sanye with everything. Which one of these makeup mirrors and dressing boxes can be missing?"

Sang Zi Zhenzhen said, looked at the furnishings in the cabin, and said, "This incense ball must also be brought, and you need to smoke the bed before going to bed." ”

Xu Wanzhen said: "Okay, it's up to you to see what's in the cage." If you can't put it down, don't bring the incense ball, how can I be so delicate. ”

Mama Zheng said: "Miss Qianjin, you have to be pampered in order to develop a noble temperament." According to the rules, there are four big maids, four little maids, one grandmother, and one nurturing grandmother. Although you are just a young lady from a merchant family, your great-grandfather was the former Guozi's priest wine, and now the Tu family's uncle is a public official to the fifth grade, and he is a doctor of Guozijian, a noble family. When you arrive at Tu's house, your cousins and sisters are all looking at you, and you can't make any mistakes. ”

This meal made Xu Wanzhen take a deep breath, yes, she only cared about the powerful forces in the capital before. But at the moment, the first people to deal with after entering Beijing are the cousins and cousins of the Tu family. I am still too self-righteous, and I look at the present with modern experience, but fortunately, I was reminded by Mama Zheng. In the Gaomang Dynasty, the reputation of the daughter's family is very important, if you can't even get the approval of your own relatives, how can you talk about stepping into the social circle of the powerful in the capital? Xu Wanzhen solemnly bowed to Mama Zheng and said, "Yes, Wanzhen thank Mama Zheng for reminding her." ”

Mama Zheng was very relieved to see her being taught. has been in the palace for decades, and female students have been taught outside the palace, not to mention the young ladies of large families, even the palace concubines she has seen a lot. Not to mention appearance, just in terms of temperament, there are arrogant, gentle, courteous, domineering, and naïve, but like Xu Wanzhen, who knows how to respect others, has a cold face and a perseverance hidden in her bones, and can listen to opinions without blindly obeying, she is the only one. This student, she fell in love, and now the more she looks at it, the more satisfied she becomes.

Finally, a small box was added to the incense balls and the medicinal powder and ointment used for bathing. Sang Zi served Xu Wanzhen put on a cloak, held the hat in his hand, and the group went to Mrs. Xu's cabin and waited to get off the ship.

In Mrs. Xu's cabin, there were bustling people standing on the ground. Xu Wenyu was tired of being in her arms, and when she saw Xu Wanzhen coming in, she shouted with a smile: "Sister!"

Seeing that everyone had not yet moved off the boat, Xu Wanzhen took off her cloak and handed it to Sang Zi, sat down next to Mrs. Xu, and gently beat her legs.

Someone outside the door asked to see him, Yulu went to answer and brought him in, it was Xu Le'an, the little guy who went to find the inn.

Xu Le'an sold himself into the mansion since he was a child, and now he is a sixteen-year-old boy, with an ordinary appearance, and the same bamboo-blue clothes look capable on him. has strong work ability, outstanding ability in a group of small people, and the old housekeeper Xu, who has worked for the Xu family all his life, accepted him as an apprentice. This time in Beijing, Mrs. Xu sympathized with the old housekeeper's advanced age, and there was a large family in Suzhou City, so she gave him the deed of life and gave the An family silver, so that the old housekeeper Xu could enjoy his old age in peace. Xu Le'an was alone, he didn't even remember who his parents were, he had nothing to worry about, and he took him to Beijing, which also meant cultivating him.

Xu Le'an stepped forward and said, "If you go back to the old lady, Yangzhou City will hold a triennial Oiran Contest at the beginning of next month." All the buildings and squares on Jiangnan Road have dispatched the leading Oiran, and the painting boat on the Qinhuai River in Jinling is also heading south, and they are all gathering in Yangzhou City at this moment. At present, the scholars and gentlemen are moving when they hear the wind, and all kinds of wealthy merchants show their skills, and some inns and gardens have been contracted. The villain originally planned to rent a courtyard in the 'Tingfeng Courtyard' in Guazhou Bay, but now it is all full. I had to find a 'Qinzhu Tea Garden' in Yangzhou, which was originally a place for salt merchants to discuss business, but now there are many customers, so they have changed some yards to receive guests temporarily. ”

These words are clearly organized, describe the current situation, and provide solutions, worthy of the old housekeeper's personal apprentice. Xu Wan nodded secretly sincerely, Xu Le'an is a talent like him, and in modern times, he is also an elite group of executives.

Old Madam Xu frowned and asked, "Why is it just in time? In the case of the tea garden, we have many female dependents, will it be inconvenient?"

Xu Le'an replied: "Please rest assured, the old lady is that the tea garden was originally a courtyard of Sanjin, not in the downtown area." The villain of the guest house changed this time went to see it, and it was an independent courtyard, and he entered and exited from the back door on the Yudai River without going through the front yard. The courtyard is not big, only five wings, but it is quiet and quiet, and it is enough for the masters to live in. ”

Old Madam Xu was a lot relieved when she heard this, and said, "In this case, the mother-in-law and the little girl on the other boat have been living on the boat for the past two days. Go down and make arrangements. ”

From Guazhou Bay Wharf to "Qinzhu Tea Garden", although there are rivers, they are not connected. You need to get off the boat and take a carriage first, and then turn into a small boat to enter the Yudai River to arrive. There are mostly female dependents, and it takes some troubles. Xu Le'an didn't mention these things.

Thinking that the rest of the subordinates could not go ashore, Mrs. Xu instructed Yulu to go to appease her, and rewarded each of them with a hundred big money. These mothers-in-law and little servants had some complaints, but if they had money, they would earn it for nothing, so they didn't say those words, and they guarded the boat on the dock with peace of mind.

Before getting off the boat, the old lady sent someone to ask Qian Feng, and he replied that he had his own settlement and didn't care about him.
