Chapter 16 The Battle for the Zhu Mansion
Zhu Nian stayed in Wangxian Teahouse for an hour and gained a lot. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
She had a general idea of this era: it was an overhead dynasty that was untraceable in history. The royal family has the same surname as Tuoba, but it has the same surname as the royal family of the Northern Wei Dynasty in history.
When the emperor's name was Tuoba Qi, he governed the country in a way, so now it is in a peaceful and prosperous era, the treasury is full, and the people live and work in peace and contentment.
Zhu Nian chuckled, although the identity after crossing is not very good, but this dynasty is still good.
It's almost time, Zhu Nian called He Dachuan, who was listening to the book with great interest, and planned to go back to Zhu Mansion to find Tao.
Just as he was about to walk to the door, Zhu Nian heard a familiar female voice.
She frowned and looked at the staircase, just in time to see Zhu Yanran coming down from the second floor.
Zhu Yanran is surrounded by two girls, it is her good sisters Xue Wanying and Lu Meng'er, and Zhu Yanran are the same dog.
Originally, Zhu Yanran was very happy, and discussed with her sisters the newly customized clothes not long ago. When Lu Meng'er eagerly poked Zhu Yanran's elbow, Zhu Yanran looked up and noticed Zhu Nian at the door.
The two looked at each other, and there was an undercurrent in the air.
"Yo, isn't this my sister, why don't you come upstairs and sit down?" Zhu Yanran was the first to speak.
"I don't know you well. Zhu Nian replied calmly.
"Eh, the clothes on Sister Xinnian's body are very beautiful, and the temperament of the whole person is different!" Xue Wanying said staring at Zhu Nian's clothes.
"Yes, yes, where did you buy it? I remember it looks like Yanran wore the same one last month. You two... You don't know how to wear a sister's outfit, right?" Lu Meng'er echoed casually.
In fact, just upstairs, Zhu Yanran told the two of them about Zhu Nian borrowing his clothes, and at this time, the two pretended not to understand and deliberately squeezed Zhu Nian.
"Oh, you two don't make fun of your sister. It wasn't easy for her, she was soaked all over in the morning, and she didn't have a change of clothes, so she had to borrow my clothes. Zhu Yanran pretended to be distressed, and Zhu said.
Zhu Nian curled the corners of his lips disdainfully, "I wear my sister's clothes very well, and I thanked my sister here." After saying that, Zhu Nian ignored the three people on the stairs and turned around and walked towards the door.
Out of the Wangxian Teahouse, Zhu Nian rolled his eyes at the sky: These three people are really boring!
Zhu Yanran saw that Zhu Nian was not affected by herself at all, and she was so angry that she stomped her feet. Seeing this, Xue Wanying hurriedly resolved the embarrassment, and said while pulling Zhu Yanran downstairs: "Yanran, didn't you just say that you were going to buy rouge, let's not pestle here, let's leave quickly." ”
Zhu Yanran stared at the empty door, thinking: Little slut, don't be complacent, one day I will drive you away completely!
Zhu Nian returned to the house and walked straight to the hall.
Tao Yueshan was already sitting on the main seat and waiting, she was here to see what kind of fame Zhu Xinnian could make!
When Zhu Nian walked into the hall, Tao was leisurely holding a teacup and drinking tea, while Liu's mother was standing behind her.
After seeing Zhu's thoughts, Tao placed the teacup heavily on the carved table.
"Zhu Xinnian, you asked me to come to the hall from time to time to wait, but I was three quarters of an hour late, what kind of system!?"
"Erniang has lived in Zhufu for three years, and she still cares about waiting for three quarters of an hour?" Zhu Nian raised his eyebrows and choked Tao.
"You!" Tao was so angry that he pointed his finger at Zhu Nian, "Zhu Xinnian, what do you mean by this!?"
"What do you mean, Erniang, don't you know best?" Zhu Nian walked to the side and sat on the chair, He Dachuan stood behind her.
After sitting down, she continued: "This Zhu Mansion was originally in my Zhu heart, did Erniang forget?"
"What the hell are you talking nonsense!" Tao certainly understood what Zhu Nian was talking about, but she didn't want to admit it.
has lived in this Zhu Mansion for three years, and Zhu Xinnian has never robbed her, so slowly Tao has forgotten that Zhu Mansion is Zhu Xinnian, and completely regards himself as the master here.
I didn't expect Zhu Xinnian to remind her at this moment, could it be... She's going to snatch it back?
Zhu Nian sneered, I really had never seen someone as cheeky as Tao Yueshan, who actually opened his eyes and said nonsense.
"Zhu Mansion and Tianxiang Pavilion are the family property left to me by my father, Erniang may have forgotten, then I will remind you again. Zhu Nian said.
"I've been living in Zhufu for three years, and the whole family knows that I'm the master of Zhufu, and you little girl is talking nonsense here. At this time, Dow only recognized four words: resist death and do not recognize!
"Oh, is it?" Zhu Nian raised his hand to observe his nails.
At this time, a familiar figure walked into the hall, one of the grandmothers that Zhu Nian met in the kitchen in the morning to greet him.
"Madam, the tea is cold, I'll change the pot of tea for you. Mama placed the freshly brought teapot on the carved table, then picked up the teapot on the table and wanted to leave.
Zhu Nian laughed secretly, this grandmother came at the right time.
She opened her mouth and said, "Mama Xu!" This mama's surname is Xu.
Hearing Zhu Nian shouting to herself, Mama Xu stood still and looked at Zhu Nian respectfully: "Miss, what's the matter?"
This eldest lady made Zhu Nian laugh out loud and made Tao's eyes widen.
Since three years ago, Tao ordered his subordinates to change their words, calling Zhu Yanran "Miss" instead of "Second Miss", and saying that shouting "Second Miss" once would give him ten sticks.
She wants to completely clear everything in Zhu's mind in Zhu's mansion.
However, just now, Mama Xu clearly shouted "Miss".
Zhu Nian couldn't hide her smile, Mama Xu's actions were exactly what she wanted.
"Mama Xu, you are an old man from Zhufu, I want to ask you, who did my father leave in Zhufu at the beginning?"
Zhu Nian asked Mama Xu.
Mama Xu frowned slightly, as if she was a little hesitant, she had already violated Tao's order by shouting "Miss" just now.
But Zhu Xinnian was seen by her since she was a child......
Mama Xu glanced at Zhu Nian, glanced at Tao again, then swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and made up her mind: "I remember very clearly, it was left to the eldest lady!"
I don't know why, this Zhu Xinnian in front of her has an atmospheric and calm demeanor, which makes her feel inexplicably relieved.
Hearing the answer he wanted, Zhu Nian hooked the corners of his lips: "Erniang, you heard it." There are many people in the mansion who have been newly recruited by you in the past three years, and it is normal to not know your father's wishes, but Mama Xu is an old man in Zhu Mansion, you can't deny her words, right?"
Seeing Tao staring at Mama Xu viciously, Zhu Nian said again: "Otherwise, how many more old people can you ask or go to check the record of the official mansion?" It may be that Erniang is old and has a poor memory, I don't blame you." ”
Tao shifted her blade-like gaze to Zhu Nian, and she said, "Then what do you want!?"
Mama Xu secretly exhaled softly, and Tao's eyes made her feel uncomfortable.
But Zhu Nian was immune to Tao's eyes, she knew that Tao was relieved, and continued to say amazingly: "Erniang, don't worry, I won't drive you away." ”
Zhu Nian lazily raised his head and looked at Tao: "Nian'er is still too young to take care of the affairs of the inner house, so continue to hand over the power of the family to Erniang, and you will take care of the Zhu Mansion." But... I will reaffirm my status in the mansion, and when Nian'er grows up, I will take back the power of the family. But Erniang, don't worry, you can live in this house for the rest of your life, I am willing to support you!"
"You!" Tao stood up, pointed at Zhu Xinnian and said, "Zhu Xinnian, don't be complacent too early!"
After finishing the cruel words, she was about to leave, but was stopped by Zhu Nian: "Erniang wait a minute, Nian'er still has something to ask for." ”
Tao's mouth was about to be crooked, waiting for Zhu to read the following.
Zhu Nian said with a smile: "Nian'er has no one to serve in this Zhu Mansion, I hope Erniang will help find two maid rings." ”
Tao wanted to have a seizure, but she thought about it, this may not be a good thing, she can find a few of her own people to put next to Zhu Xinnian and pay attention to her every move.
Tao temporarily calmed down his anger, looked at Zhu Nian and said, "Okay!"
Zhu Nian is not as stupid as Zhu Xinnian, how can he not guess Dow's thoughts.
"I want Erniang to find all the newly bought rings, and then Nian'er chooses them herself. After all, it's a close-fitting ring, and only when you look at it can you be satisfied. ”
Tao was furious again, his teeth chattered, and it took a long time to spit out two words: "Whatever you want!"
Then she instructed Liu's mother behind her to do this, and she left hatefully first.
Zhu Nian looked at Tao's back and snickered.
Tao Yueshan walked to the door, and heard Zhu Nian's voice floating: "Go slowly, Erniang!
In a quarter of an hour, more than two dozen Yahuan stood in front of Zhu Nian in two rows.
Zhu Nian paced back and forth in front of them, and took a fancy to the two delicate-looking and smart little girls.
"What's your name?" asked Zhu Nian, standing in front of the third girl in the first row.
"Back to the eldest lady, slave Cai Ning. ”
Then Zhu Nian walked to the sixth little girl in the second row and asked, "What about you?"
"Back to the eldest lady, the slave and the maid help the moon. ”
Zhu Nian nodded with satisfaction and said, "It's just the two of you." ”
The two were very surprised, and replied excitedly: "Miss Xie!"
The other girls are both envious and jealous.
They were bought into the door on the same day, but in just a few days, Cai Ning and Fuyue were selected as personal rings, and they are no longer the same level, they are simply different from cloud and mud, how can they not be jealous and envious?
After that, Zhu Nian picked four second-class rings and four third-class rings and led them back to the bamboo garden.
The first thing Zhu Nian did after returning to the bamboo garden was to ask Fu Yue and Cai Ning to comb her hair.
Fuyue and Cai Ning's skills in combing their hair are very good, and the hairstyles they can comb are different.
This time, Zhu Nian asked Fuyue to help her comb her hair, while Cai Ning stood aside and waited.
Fuyue neatly combed her with a simple hanging bun, which is a hairstyle often combed by girls who have not left the room.
But just such a simple hairstyle, the technique dazzled Zhu Nian.
She couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh: It's good to still have a ring!
While Fu Yue was braiding her hair, Zhu Nian said leisurely to her and Cai Ning on the side: "There are not so many rules and regulations in my place, as long as you are loyal to me, I will treat you sincerely and treat you as good sisters." ”
Cai Ning and Fu Yue are both clever girls, and as soon as they heard it, they understood the truth in Zhu Nian's words, and the two of them immediately knelt on the ground and said in unison: "Miss can take a fancy to us, it is our blessing, and we are willing to be loyal to Miss forever." ”
Zhu Nian nodded with satisfaction, and then helped the two kneeling on the ground: "You two get up quickly! In my place, no one can kneel casually without my permission, do you hear!?"
Cai Ning and Fu Yue looked at each other, excited and happy in their hearts, they knew that they were lucky to have met a good master.
The two of them bowed down respectfully and said "Yes!"
With the personal ring, of course, he can't let He Dachuan live in the second house of the North Wing anymore.
Therefore, Zhu Nian arranged for Cai Ning and Fuyue to live in He Dachuan's original room, He Dachuan lived alone in the east wing, and the rest of the second- and third-class maids lived in the west wing.
After some tidying up, everyone cleaned up the bamboo garden before dark, and then Zhu Nian asked Cai Ning to order the big kitchen to make a simple dinner.
After Cai Ning brought the food, Zhu Nian still sat on the stone table in the courtyard to eat, she liked the taste of nature.
Zhu Nian instructed He Dachuan and Cai Ning Fuyue to also sit down and eat together.
He Dachuan was used to it, so he sat opposite Zhu Nian.
But Cai Ning and Fu Yue shook their heads again and again: "No, no, miss, you can eat, we have a subordinate meal! Where is the reason for the master and the subordinate to sit and eat together!"
"In Zhuyuan, I am the truth!" Zhu Nian said.
The two still didn't dare to accept it and were indifferent.
"You see, people Dachuan don't sit well!" Zhu Nian Naga Dachuan opened up, and then continued: "I'm not used to having someone standing next to me when I'm eating...... If you don't sit down again, I'm going to get angry!" Zhu Nian pretended to be angry.
Cai Ning and Fu Yue glanced at each other, unable to control the excitement and gratitude in their hearts.
How much does the young lady have to renovate their cognition in one day?!
"Miss Xie!" The two no longer insisted, and sat next to Zhu Nian, and their eyes were already full of tears of emotion.
"Don't worry, from now on, if you have a bite of food from me, you will be indispensable!" Zhu Nian said to the two beside him.
Then she looked at He Dachuan: "Dachuan, you go and prepare a few pairs of dishes and chopsticks." ”
"Yes, miss. He Dachuan was also a little moved at this time, and immediately went to prepare dishes and chopsticks after hearing Zhu Nian's words.
This master, he followed the right one!
At night, almost everyone has fallen asleep peacefully, but Shi'an Garden is still brightly lit.
Dow lay on the bed tossing and turning, unable to sleep, thinking about everything that had happened at noon today.
What happened to this Zhu mind? Why did his temperament change so much in one day, as if he had changed people?
However, Dow thinks that this is not the point, the point is to quickly come up with a solution to the little slut of Zhu Xinnian.
After Zhu Yanran came back this afternoon, she learned everything that happened, and came to Shi'an Yuan to have a fight with her, which made her physically and mentally exhausted.
Unable to lie down any longer, Dow sat up from the bed, walked to the wooden chair in the outhouse, and sat down, lost in thought.
Suddenly, Tao raised his head sharply and shouted outside the door, "Mother Liu!"
Liu's mother, who was sleeping in the side room, heard the shouts of her master, and quickly sat up, put on her coat and rushed to the main house.
"Ma'am, what happened?"
"Mother Liu, you can help me call Butler Tang!" Tao said.
"Now?" Mother Liu thought she had misheard, it was already night, and Steward Tang should have already slept.
"Yes, now, now!" Dow said exclaimed, annoyed.
Seeing that her master was in a bad mood, Mother Liu didn't dare to stay any longer, so she turned around and went to Steward Tang's residence.
Steward Tang is Tao Yueshan's distant cousin, and she couldn't resist the repeated pleas of her mother's family, so she recruited Tang Lihui to be the head manager of the family, and she found her to help her seize the family property.
Tang Lihui was sleepy-eyed when he walked to Shi'an Garden, and his face clearly showed reluctance and dissatisfaction.
He was woken up from the bed by Liu's mother.
Stepping into the door of the main house, Tao eagerly greeted him: "Lihui, you are here!"
"Madame, is there an urgent matter for me to come to me at this time?" asked Tang Lihui.
"I want you to help me take away the Zhu Mansion completely. Dow said.
"Haven't the past few years been good? How are you ...... now?" Tang Lihui looked at Tao in confusion.
"The past three years have been really good, but I don't know what happened to Zhu Xinnian in the past two days, but his temperament has changed greatly, and he has to recapture Zhu Mansion!" Tao explained.
"How come!?" Tang Lihui also knows about Zhu Xinnian, and knows that Zhu Xinnian is a cowardly master.
He continued: "But I also heard some people gossiping today, saying that you were miserable by Zhu Xin at noon today, is it true!"
Dow didn't answer, but his eyes spewed a vicious light like a sharp sword.
Tang Lihui knew it in his heart and didn't dare to ask again.
"Therefore, we must speed up the pace of transferring the family property, firmly grasp the title deed in our hands, and change the official record to my name as soon as possible!" Tao suppressed his anger and then said to Steward Tang.
"Okay!" Tang Lihui nodded in agreement.
Then the two began to discuss the strategy, and Steward Tang left Shi'an Yuan late at night.
