It was a cloudless sunny day with a warm sun, but the difference was that this place did not have the cold climate of the Northland, and there was no biting cold wind.

This is the southern part of the Tiancheng Continent - the Great Liang Country.

Different from the Red Ice Country in the north, the weather in April, many places in the Red Ice Country are still snowing, and the climate is terrifyingly cold, but the climate of Daliang Country in the south is already quite warm, and on a sunny day when the warm sun is high, the air is full of spring warmth, and you will feel hot if you wear a little thicker.

Girdle Kyoto Crepe Flat. Zhu Mansion on West Street in the West District.

The maze arranged by rockery and strange stones in the courtyard occupies most of the courtyard, and the other half is the location of the two-storey pavilion in the courtyard, and there is a four-corner pavilion on one side of the pavilion, which is called "Moon Pavilion".

This seemingly simple but very complex courtyard belongs to Zhu Zimo's Han Courtyard.

Although it was daytime, it was quiet in the Korean courtyard, there was no wind, no insects and birds, and there seemed to be no people. However, the next moment, the door of the study of the Han Academy was suddenly opened from the inside, combing a hanging bun, with a dark green beaded flower on each side of the bun, and Lu Xueyue, who was wearing a lake-green caftan brown maid's costume, walked out from behind the door.

Take a closer look, Lu Xueyue is holding a round wooden tray in her hand, and there is a blue and white porcelain bowl on the tray, and there is a blue and white porcelain spoon in the bowl, and there is still a little brown liquid left at the bottom of the blue bowl.

After walking out of the door, Lu Xueyue turned around and went to close the door, because she was holding a tray in one hand, she could only close the door with her empty hand. Lu Xueyue's movements were extremely gentle, and she didn't even make a sound when the door closed.

After closing the door, Lu Xueyue stood quietly at the door for a while with the tray in both hands, listening to the suppressed coughing sound faintly coming from behind the door, Lu Xueyue sighed silently, and then tiptoed around and walked down the dozen or so bluestone steps in front of the pavilion, and walked into the maze arranged by rockeries and strange stones.

Since the old man Zhu Hui, the eldest lady Chen Rou, the eldest young master Zhu Ziyao, and the second lady Liu Ruyun passed away one after another, only Zhu Zimo, the real master, was left in the huge Zhu Mansion. No matter what Zhu Zimo's identity was in the past, how others viewed him. In short, now the whole Zhu Mansion, as well as the heads of the industries under the jurisdiction of the Zhu Mansion, are all looking forward to Zhu Zimo.

The maids and servants who originally served Zhu Hui, Chen Rou, and Zhu Ziyao were all returned by Zhu Zimo to the deed of sale shortly after the funeral. gave a generous sum of money to dismiss the Zhu Mansion, only Lu Xueyue, she was the only one who was spared.

As for Ziyu, the only maid waiting by Liu Ruyun's side, soon after Liu Ruyun was buried, she invited Leng Qing, who had become the young lady of Zhu Mansion at that time, to go out of the house to Shuiyun Nunnery to become a nun and pray for Zhu Hui, Chen Rou, Liu Ruyun and Zhu Ziyao.

It didn't take a few days. Lin Zhiwu, deputy steward of Lin, was also sent to Jiangnan by Zhu Zimo, and was around Zhu Zimo's younger brother Lin Xiaoyang, while Lin Zhisheng, the younger brother of deputy steward Lin, did not know where to go.

In less than a month, the acquaintances walked and scattered, although Steward Liu recruited many subordinates into the mansion in the follow-up, but they were all fresh faces, not only unfamiliar with the things in the mansion, but also not as skilled as the old people before.

Now, in this Zhu Mansion. Except for the elderly steward Liu who was left by the old lady Zhu Jing to oversee the affairs in Zhu's mansion, only Lu Xueyue was the most senior subordinate.

The Zhu Mansion is too big, and it can't be managed by Steward Liu alone, so the day after Lin Zhiwu left the mansion, Zhu Zimo asked Lu Xueyue to temporarily take the position of Lin Zhiwu, who left the mansion, and temporarily became the deputy manager of the Zhu Mansion.

It's not that Zhu Zimo really values Lu Xueyue much, it's just because Zhu Zimo really doesn't have any other better candidates. The older batch of Zhu Fu's subordinates have almost been dismissed, and those who are left behind, although they know the roots, are all those who have no responsibility. Not to mention the new entrants. Zhu Zimo didn't even think about it.

Originally, the position of deputy manager of the Zhu Mansion was handed over to Lu Xueyue for the time being, and Zhu Zimo was still a little uneasy. Because Lu Xueyue is too timid and too cowardly on weekdays. I would cry at every turn! I never thought about it, but in a few days, even Steward Liu praised Lu Xueyue several times in front of Zhu Zimo.

Zhu Zimo also secretly observed Lu Xueyue, and found that it was indeed as Steward Liu said, so he gradually felt relieved. Now, for Lu Xueyue's ability. Zhu Zimo was really completely relieved, and many things were handed over to Lu Xueyue more boldly.

Although she did not add moon silver to Lu Xueyue, Lu Xueyue did not complain at all, and still did her duty and did the duties of the deputy steward in an orderly manner, without the slightest mistake or omission.

Then again, since Liu Ruyun's death, Zhu Zimo's health has not been very good, and during the day, Zhu Zimo has to worry about the business of the shops under the jurisdiction of Zhu's mansion, and sometimes he has to travel to various shops to deal with many problems, and he often can't sleep peacefully at night......

So worried and tired, Zhu Zimo's body has not been able to get better, it just so happened that in recent days, Zhu Zimo has been infected with wind and cold again, Lu Xueyue is worried in her heart, for fear that even the only master will fall, then Zhu Mansion will really become a pot of porridge, yes, Lu Xueyue sent someone to invite the crepe doctor to come into the house to diagnose Zhu Zimo's pulse without the permission of Zhu Zimo himself.

Zhu Zimo can be regarded as a kind master, when Zhu Zimo suddenly saw Lu Xueyue bring the crepe doctor into the Korean courtyard that day, Zhu Zimo didn't even say a word to question Lu Xueyue, but only invited the crepe doctor into the wing room with a gentle expression, and then sat quietly opposite the crepe doctor, consciously rolled up his sleeves and stretched out his wrist to check the crepe doctor's pulse.

After Dr. Xuan finished diagnosing the pulse, he only instructed Zhu Zimo not to see the wind for a few days, and prescribed medicine for Zhu Zimo to take three meals a day and then left, and even confiscated the consultation fee.

Since Lin Zhiwu, who was only ten years old fifteen years ago, and his younger brother Lin Zhisheng entered the Zhu Mansion as a servant, in the days to come, Zhu Zimo had everything to do, Lin Zhiwu was on the side, personally serving, and never pretending to do anything. But now that Lin Zhiwu is out, no one is in the Zhu Mansion, and not everyone can enter the Han Academy, so the burden of serving Zhu Zimo falls on the shoulders of Lu Xueyue, the person who temporarily replaced Lin Zhiwu.

Steward Liu meant that originally, Zhu Zimo, as the head of the family, could not have a servant girl who could serve him close and be available at any time, but now that Zhu Zimo is still sick, he needs a servant girl who can serve close and can be with the rumor. But who is the most suitable candidate for this servant girl, and can Zhu Zimo accept it?

After thinking about it, Manager Liu felt that Lu Xueyue was the most suitable candidate!

First, Zhu Zimo did not hesitate to dismiss all the maids and servants who had served Zhu Hui, Chen Rou, and Zhu Ziyao, but only left the second-class maid Lu Xueyue beside Chen Rou, I am afraid that only Zhu Zimo himself knows the intention. Second, since the old lady Zhu Jing drove the crane west, this Han Courtyard has become a "forbidden place" in the Zhu Mansion, and even Zhu Hui, the biggest master of the Zhu Mansion, cannot enter and exit at will. However, except for Zhu Zimo's biological mother Liu Ruyun, as well as Ziyu, a close attendant next to Liu Ruyun, and Zhu Zimo's own close attendant Lin Zhiwu, only Lu Xueyue can enter and exit the Korean Courtyard at will!

Therefore, after thinking about it again and again, Steward Liu felt that it should be the most appropriate to let Lu Xueyue go close to serve the sick Zhu Zimo. Zhu Zimo shouldn't be disgusted with Lu Xueyue serving by his side......

Yes, under the arrangement of Steward Liu, Lu Xueyue had already lived in the wing room that Zhu Zimo had opened for Lin Zhiwu in the Han Courtyard two days ago. Regarding Steward Liu's arrangement, Zhu Zimo did not say a word, which was regarded as a tacit acquiescence.

At this time, it was noon, and Lu Xueyue was waiting for Zhu Zimo to finish drinking the medicine prescribed by Dr. Xuan, and when she left the Korean Courtyard, she wanted to send the empty medicine bowl back to the kitchen. Lu Xueyue also had to stop by and tell the people in the kitchen that Zhu Zimo's appetite is not very good today, so he should prepare a lighter dinner, and boil the medicine that Zhu Zimo wants to drink at night on time.

Too many things have happened in just one month, Lu Xueyue's mind is like a mess, and many things have not been sorted out until now, but in Zhu Zimo's matter, Lu Xueyue has always maintained the most sober and cautious state.

Walking out of the Korean courtyard, Lu Xueyue walked along the stone-paved path, although her face was quiet and soft, but she was very worried in her heart: since the death of the second lady, the body of the head of the family has been weak, and then the young lady disappeared inexplicably, in order to find the young lady, the head of the family has not been able to sleep peacefully for several nights, and will wake up from her sleep from time to time, and then she will get up and go to the hall to invite people in the house to ask - can the young lady be found?

This situation lasted for a few days, but then one day, the head of the family suddenly said that everyone should not continue to look for it, and from now on, do not mention anything related to the young lady in the house, and those who violate the order will be sold to the house. The strange behavior of the head of the family made all the subordinates in the house confused, and a few subordinates even came to Lu Xueyue to ask about the situation, but even Lu Xueyue herself was at a loss, how could she explain it clearly to those subordinates?

Although Lu Xueyue temporarily took Lin Zhiwu's position and took on the burden of serving Zhu Zimo for Lin Zhiwu, in Zhu Zimo's heart, Lu Xueyue was always Lu Xueyue, and it would never really replace Lin Zhiwu's position. So, in many things, Zhu Zimo didn't want to say more to Lu Xueyue at all, because Zhu Zimo didn't want Lu Xueyue to know too much.

Lu Xueyue wanted to get these inside information, so Lu Xueyue never thought of replacing Lin Zhiwu's position in Zhu Zimo's heart, no matter what Lu Xueyue did, she would be conscientious and never overstep.

However, the subordinates in the Zhu Mansion always like to come to ask Lu Xueyue, "What does the head of the family mean by this matter" and "What does the head of the family mean by that matter", just because they thought that Lu Xueyue was the closest person to Zhu Zimo in the whole Zhu Mansion, and Lu Xueyue should know many things that they didn't know.

However, only Lu Xueyue clearly understands the suffering! )
