028: Check-in
Although no one lived in the young cloud pavilion for a long time, the dust did not fall as much as imagined, the maids had to pick up the bedroom for her to rest, she was really tired, the lunch sent by the kitchen did not eat a few bites and lay down, but the tossing and turning but could not sleep, for a while I heard the sound of sprinkling in the yard, and for a while I felt that the aroma of the stove choked, and I tossed a few times and finally I didn't feel sleepy, so I let Hongzhi wait to get up, and stood in front of the window with a fan to overlook.

The view of the Young Cloud Pavilion is really good, it is worthy of being the residence of the young lady back then, from here, a quarter of the house can be taken into view. The slave maid in the courtyard looked at her from the window, and peeped with her eyes from time to time, that Yin slave seemed to be the steward assigned to her, and after a while, she cleaned up the inside and outside in an orderly manner.
Shen Qihuan was standing alone, and suddenly saw Lingsong knocking on the hanging flower door and turning in, followed by an old woman, I don't know what to say to Yin Nu, Lingsong left first.
Yin Nu seemed to be instructing the old woman, the old woman looked like half a hundred, her waist was a little rickety, and she was wearing the clothes of a rough mother-in-law. Presumably, she used to serve her mother or uncle, but now she has been transferred here to help her.
Hongzhi also saw this situation in her eyes, and couldn't help asking, "Miss, do you need a slave to call that old woman over?"
"Forget it. Shen Quehuan lazily moved back to the bed, "It is the time when everyone is targeted, and every inch of movement will hurt an inch." ”
Hongzhi changed the charcoal for the stove, and said with a smile: "Miss, the slave always feels that your Taoism is different from others, like ...... Like ...... The slave maid can't say it, but the old lady in the past also has the same tone as you, and the slave and maid feel that anyone with extraordinary mood and vision is such a pattern. ”
Hongzhi is always saying words of admiration these days, and people seem to be a lot more thoughtful, Shen Qihuan didn't take a stubble, told her to beware of Yin Nu, and told her that she was unwell, and anyone who came would be sent away as told.
Hongzhi didn't ask why, but she knew that Miss's decision was reasonable, and she didn't disclose it as long as she did it.
Shen Quehuan was lying on the bed, her white and slender fingers on her eyes, and she was about to remind her to find a chance to deposit the money on her body to the Penglai ticket number, but suddenly heard a slight sound on the stairs.
Shen Que was stunned, the old staircase would make a sound even if it was well maintained, but this extremely light step could only be lifted by a person who practiced martial arts.
Shen Quehuan waved her hand at Hong Zhi, Hong Zhi saw that her expression was wrong, and she was busy biting her lip to collect her breath, Shen Quehuan condensed slightly, knowing that the person was separated from them by a wall, maybe his ears were attached to the door, and he secretly thought in his heart, this was only the first day, and he sent a person who knew martial arts to listen to the wall.
Shen Quehuan rubbed her steps and stood in front of the window, chatting with Hongzhi about inconsequential words, while telling her in her ear: "Count the people in the courtyard, and see who is missing in a while." ”
Hong Zhi looked solemn and did as Shen Qihuan said.
Before dinner, Shen Qihuan was picking up the second floor into a study according to his temperament, and Yin Nu came to ask for it, saying that the servants were waiting for the master on the first day, and whether they needed to gather everyone together and give a lecture.
Shen Qihuan understood that whenever there was a master who had just arrived, she usually distributed silver on this occasion, she was lazy and said as if she had no energy: "I'm going to go to my father's yard later, let everyone gather in the main room before nightfall." ”
Yin Nu retreated happily, and Hongzhi asked Shen Qihuan: "Miss, do you need to go to other courtyards to ask, how should I reward this first time?"
"No need, Yin Nu gives three taels of silver, first-class maidservants give two taels, and everyone else is one tael. ”
"Huh?" Hongzhi had already prepared a money bag on her body just now, and she had prepared sixty taels for a reward. "Miss, isn't it a little little, although the slave maid doesn't know what kind of practice the Hou Mansion is, but when the old master was in the house, the steward generally had to take six taels, the noble maid had to take four taels, and the others were all two or three taels. ”
"People who don't matter, don't waste money. "These minions will be sent away by her sooner or later, and the current silver money is still exchanged by her life with King Jing'an, how can she cheapen these maggots.
Hongzhi saw that she had made up her mind, so she didn't persuade her anymore, and asked the reward in the master's yard again, and when she heard that it was the same, she was inexplicably worried.
According to her experience in the Protector's Mansion, if she continues to reward like this, the minions below will definitely be neglected in the future.
Shen Qihuan asked about someone eavesdropping just now, and Hong Zhi replied: "The slave and maid have counted, only three girls were not in the yard at that time, and as for which one was eavesdropping, the slave and maid are not sure." ”
Shen Qihuan nodded silently, instructed Hongzhi to change her inconspicuous cloak, and went to Qingyun Hall where Changru lived.
Although there are four generations living in the Chengping Hou Mansion, but due to the standardized courtyard pattern, three or four hundred people live in it in an orderly manner, not only each house occupies different areas, but also has a wide garden lake between each room, such as the Qingyun Hall of Changru and the Young Cloud Pavilion of Que Huan are in the east area of the Hou Mansion, the south side is adjacent to a small river called "Fulan Shallow Water", and the north side is a spacious "Furong Fun Garden" Crossing the bridge to the south is the front yard of the Hou Mansion, the place where the old men discuss and entertain guests, there are all kinds of scattered courtyards of exquisite and chic scattered and different sizes to the north, the courtyards of the three rooms and the four rooms are also among them, the courtyard of the uncle Shen Hongcheng is connected with the courtyard of the Chen family, occupying the entire western region of the Hou Mansion, there is a natural lion lake there, and the middle of the east and west domains is the center of the Hou Mansion, the place where the Hou of Chengping lives.
It is said that the Marquis of Chengping has a clear position of the government and the opposition, and just by looking at the mansion that imitates the layout of the palace, he knows the ambition he is hiding.
The closer you are to the center of power, the more you can't stand alone, and the Marquis of Chengping can make the emperor undoubted, unless it is to plan for everything step by step, it will be difficult to achieve.
Shen Qihuan didn't call the sedan chair man, she actually didn't like to be carried by people to walk on bumps, only by stepping on the ground with her feet on the ground and moving forward on her own strength was the most reliable and reliable.
"Miss, Qingyuntang has arrived. The little girl who led Shen Qihuan and Hongzhi was called her crisply, her eyebrows and eyes were beautiful, and she was one of the three slaves that Hongzhi suspected, named Qiuxu.
Shen Qihuan looked up at the stone statue in front of the gate of Qingyun Hall, and wrote the eight characters "All lines are constant, and nothing is good". It is a magnificent and luxurious courtyard, because these eight words are like the residence of Confucianism.
Shen Qihuan let Qiu Xu go in to pass the word, and after a while, Qingyuntang's housekeeper mother ran out to greet her with joy, and when she saw her, she was stunned at first, and then asked for peace: "The old slave asks the third lady to say goodbye." "She is about the same age as Yin Nu, and her clothes and outfits are similar.
Shen Qihuan smiled: "I don't know what to call my mother?"
"The old slave is a lowly slave, and he used to serve the second master. Her words were vague, Shen Qihuan had already understood what she wanted to say, this was the old man beside Changru, and he was reassured.
But whether you can rest assured or not is not something that she can confirm with a sentence of "once upon a time", time is a terrible thing, which can make people become Buddhas and make people become ghosts.
