Chapter 64, Temporary Placement
Guiyue was approaching, and seeing that he was about to enter Beijing, Lu Chengyao and the Yun family also began to be busy arranging various things in the house. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
At this time, after listening to the words of her husband and daughter, the Yun family also felt something.
The mother-in-law has always attached great importance to her daughter. Even what kind of minions are used around her daughter, she will ask them one by one.
She never saw her mother-in-law, and asked about the second sister-in-law's daughter. It can be seen that in the heart of the mother-in-law, she still prefers her daughter more.
Lu Chengyao saw that the inner courtyard had been arranged, and told his wife a few more words, and then got up and went to the outer courtyard.
Summoning the land steward to go to the "porter line", first give the people and horses who drive the cattle and carry the suitcases and cages.
Lu Fu also has its own chariots and horses, but there are too many cages to bring to Yingtian, so it is still necessary to hire footmen from the "porter line" every year.
Lu Ruxue still has classes in the afternoon, so when her father left, she also got up and saluted her mother, planning to go back to her yard to take a nap first, and then go to the West Cross Courtyard to take classes.
But when he entered the courtyard, he saw Cailian standing by the courtyard wall, as if she was crying secretly.
Seeing the eldest lady coming back, she hurriedly wiped her tears with her sleeve, and rushed over to salute.
"Cailian, what's wrong with you?" Caixing saw that the eldest lady motioned for her to ask, and hurriedly pulled Cailian a few steps behind and asked.
"Sister Caixing, yesterday the eldest lady sent the slave maid out of the house to buy some medicinal herbs. The slave maid took a detour, thinking of going to see the lotus!"
"After all, she was in the house with me. Thinking that she has now recovered her good status, the sisters are naturally happy for her!"
Cai Lian seemed to think of something again, and when she saw that the eldest lady had already entered the house, her eyes were full of tears again, and she couldn't help crying.
But when the slave and maid went, Caihe was being dragged out of the house by a man. It turned out to be Caihe's father, and he sold her to Jinfu. ”
The more Cai Xing listened, the more angry she became, but she thought more than Cai Lian.
Jin Fu bought the maid released by Lu Mansion, I don't know if it has any impact on the eldest lady?
What if Caihe revealed the matter of the eldest lady to the Jin Mansion and damaged the reputation of the eldest lady?
So I didn't have time to comfort Cailian, so I hurriedly ran into the house and went to reply to the eldest lady.
Cai Xing opened the door curtain and heard the eldest lady telling Cai Yue to do things.
"Go and invite Mother Du and ask Hongfu to come over too!"
Lu Ruxue saw Cailian's expression different just now, and she knew that she couldn't rest. So I want to use this time to arrange some things.
Some things should be arranged as soon as possible, so as not to be in a temporary emergency and too late to deal with them.
"Yes!" Cai Yue took the order and retreated, Cai Xing just approached, and gave a brief reply to the eldest lady about what he had heard.
"I've learned about it, you go and invite Aunt Liu first, and I'll talk about it later!"
When Lu Ruxue got the news, she only pondered for a while, and did not show a sad face. Continue to tell Cai Xing to do things.
After a while, Hongfu helped Du's mother and walked in. Cai Ling didn't need to be instructed, so she went to Mother Du, moved a footclub, and put it in front of the eldest lady.
"Because I want to enter Beijing early this year, I have to worry more about this medicine garden!"
"Cai Ling, go and bring my newly made Gastrodia Eucommia Pill!"
With Du's mother's medical skills, she could have made her own pills. Even according to Lu Ruxue's identity, she doesn't need to do these things for a subordinate.
But the eldest lady can even think thoughtfully about such a trivial matter. Du's mother felt warm and tight in her heart, and got up with a smile on her face and thanked her.
"Mom doesn't need to be polite, it's because I like to fiddle with these things, where do I want my mother's thanks!"
The eldest lady said so, and Cai Yue hurriedly stepped forward to help Du's mother up.
Mother Du got up and sat down again, "The old slave doesn't go out, but the tired eldest lady is worried!"
"Although the eldest lady set off in Guiyuezhong, it was the time when the autumn tiger beat people!"
"On the way, we still have to prepare some decoctions prepared with Huoxiang oil, Atractylodes, tangerine peel, magnolia, etc., and use some from time to time, so as not to be contaminated with the heat!"
The decoction that Du's mother said has the same effect as Huoxiang Zhengqi water.
"It's also thanks to Du's mother that the eldest lady rarely entered Beijing in advance before. Even the slaves and maids were not as thoughtful as Mother Du thought. ”
Cai Yue looked at the eldest lady again, and thanked Du's mother for the reminder on behalf of the eldest lady.
The two talked for a while, and Lu Ruxue took out ten taels of silver for the "bonus", and also gave it to Du's mother, so she ordered Cailing to send Du's mother out first.
It just so happened that Caixing went to invite Aunt Liu over, and Lu Ruxue motioned for Hongfu to step aside first, and then talk to her later.
The purpose of inviting Aunt Liu over is the same as that of Mother Du. Lu Ruxue also wrapped ten taels of silver as a "bonus".
"Auntie, what do you want to buy, I entered Beijing a month earlier this year, but I can pick and choose?"
Aunt Liu put away the purse containing the "bonus", and then shook her head.
"Auntie doesn't lack anything here, the eldest lady just picks what she likes and buys it. ”
Lu Ruxue ordered Cai Yue again, took a wooden box from the cabinet, and handed it to Aunt Liu.
"I can't celebrate my aunt's birthday this year, so I can only give this birthday gift to my aunt in advance. It's also a thought, my aunt can't refuse!"
Although Aunt Liu works as an errand in Lu Mansion, she is different from Mother Du, who sold herself into Lu Mansion.
Therefore, Lu Ruxue not only values her as a teacher, but also regards her as a friend. In previous years, on Aunt Liu's Guiyue birthday, Lu Ruxue would personally set up a banquet for her.
"It's not a whole birthday, so what's the matter if you can't get by. It's a shame that the eldest lady remembers everything, and she's not afraid of wasting her mind!"
Aunt Liu said no, but she was very happy in her heart. This birthday gift is naturally to be accepted.
The two laughed and talked for a while, and Aunt Liu knew that the eldest lady still had classes in the afternoon, so she retreated first.
Lu Ruxue saw that there was still some time, so she ordered Hongfu to come closer.
"Hongling has been promoted to a first-class maid, and now among the seven second-class maids, you are the most stable in your work!"
"When I entered Beijing this time, the four of them had to follow me and serve. These days, you are the head of this courtyard!"
"Remember! In addition to the medicine garden needs to be taken care of, you also have to take care of Mother Du and Aunt Liu!"
"This box contains the monthly money of the past few months and your bonus at the end of the year. After Laba, I will send this silver down!"
"There are also some silver tickets in the box. If the minions who drew the map come back around the lunar month, they will be handed over. ”
There are also those people who are in charge and have worked for Lu Ruxue for many years. With these silver tickets, I know what to do.
"This box is usually placed on my dressing table, and no one is allowed to come in except for you, who come in every day to clean it!"
"You know the rules of the house, how it is governed when I am usually here, you are not uncommon, you should know what to do. ”
Hongling was raised to the first class, although Hongfu was envious, she was not jealous, after all, Hongling has always been more valued by the eldest lady.
Now that the eldest lady is not there, but she has been chosen to be in charge, Hongfu can't hide her joy in her heart.
