Chapter 154: Entering the Mansion
Murong Huaide stretched out his hand to protect his wife in his arms, and persuaded helplessly and dotingly, "Rong Rong, sit down well and don't knock your stomach." If you want to see the excitement, I'll take you out for a walk tomorrow. β
Dong Rong smiled and blocked the curtain, leaning on her husband's arms and no longer worrying him. The carriage soon arrived at the gate of the courtyard, and a servant had already stepped forward to help pull the reins of the horse, but no one removed the threshold of the side gate so that the carriage could enter the house directly.
Just when everyone was puzzled, the two Nanmu doors with vermilion lacquer inlaid with copper nails were completely opened. Dozens of maids and servants knelt in front of the shadow wall in two rows and shouted, "Welcome the master mother back to the house!" β
Dong Rong heard the movement in the car, raised her eyebrows and looked at Murong Huaide, and asked, "This is the palace?" β
Murong Huaide shook his head, smiled lightly, and responded, "No, this is our family!" Your name is written on the title deed, and everything here is up to you! β
Dong Rong smiled abruptly, leaned over and kissed the empathetic man's face, and praised, "Well done, I'll stew braised pork at night to thank you!" β
Murong Huaide got a long-lost fragrant kiss, and his heart instantly felt as if he had eaten a bucket of honey, which was so sweet that it bubbled. He jumped out of the car first, and then helped his wife down, and the two of them held hands and stepped up the stairs together, as they had done so many times before, and crossed the threshold before the many servants who bowed their heads respectfully.
Dong Rong said lightly, "Get up, in the future, you will perform your duties, you will be rewarded for meritorious service, and you will be punished!" β
"Yes, ma'am!" A group of maids and servants kowtowed and got up, and Murong Huaide smiled and helped his wife to walk inside, "If you are not tired, I will have to take you around." I planted vines, vegetable fields, and dug lotus ponds, except for a smaller area, the rest is similar to the yard of our Four Seasons Garden..."
His own man was so happy to give his treasure, Dong Rong naturally would not interrupt his interest, and the couple walked around the courtyard while talking and laughing, leisurely and comfortable.
But in the palace, not far from the courtyard, there were dark clouds at this time, and the maids and servants were eager to tiptoe when they walked, for fear of making a little noise, and it would be too unlucky if they were caught by the angry princess to vent their hatred.
For the first time, Princess Liu didn't care about decency, and after smashing the teabowl and teapot at hand, she had to toss the two long-necked vases in the corner. The old lady was so anxious that she stepped forward and hugged the princess's arm and persuaded, "Niangniang, you are angry." The prince may have been blinded by the fox spirit for a while, otherwise he would not have forgotten the etiquette. You wait first, the old slave will go and remind the prince. β
After speaking, she blinked her old eyes desperately and motioned to Liu Xiaozhen, who had been wiping her tears with a handkerchief, "Miss Zhen'er, please help the old slave persuade Niangniang." β
Liu Xiaozhen hid the sneer at the corner of her mouth, but her face pretended to endure the grievances and responded, "Mama Shu is right, aunt." The cousin is polite and filial, he must have been bewitched by the fox spirit, otherwise how could there be a reason to take his wife's room and enter the door without kowtowing to the elders first? β
Princess Liu was originally tired and panting, and the anger in her heart dropped a lot, but her niece's words were like a scoop of hot oil poured on her again, and she scolded angrily, "What wife, which one allowed him to marry a peasant girl?" This is the Zhongshan Palace, not a dilapidated farmer! If a peasant girl is made the housewife, won't the entire palace become a joke for the entire Great Qi? Mama Shu, you go and sue sΓΉ that unfilial son, there is no vixen in this palace, there is no me, you let him choose by himself! β
Mama Shu hurriedly responded, "Niangniang, the old slave will go, you can drink tea first to dissipate your anger." β
After that, she helped the princess to sit on the chair, and then called the little maid to come in and pick up the broken tea pieces, and then hurried out of the house. Leaving Liu Xiaozhen to comfort her aunt while secretly hating.
In the morning, she deliberately wiped her red eyes, and ran to her aunt to cry that her cousin had gone out of the city to pick up the peasant girl. Originally, it was just to win some sympathy and deepen my aunt's guilt, so that she would be more determined to push herself to the throne of the princess. My aunt really fell for the plan, hugged her heart, and shouted and comforted, and finally said that she would take her back to Liu's house in a few days.
She was thinking about how to provoke her aunt to give the peasant girl a dismount, and it was best to drive her back to the Northland. Unexpectedly, the porter reported that the young couple went directly to the other courtyard, and they had no intention of stepping into the palace. This made her not only angry, but also more curious about what the woman was capable of letting her cold and hard cousin maintain like this?
Dong Rong held her stomach with one hand and straddled her husband's arm with the other, and walked slowly in the courtyard for a long time, and soon had a general impression of the entire new home, and of course she was very satisfied.
Because this courtyard was originally the residence of an old minister, the whole layout is very atmospheric and simple. Murong Huaide was afraid that his wife and children would not be used to living there, so he completely rebuilt the main courtyard to look like a courtyard on the top of the mountain, including the bathroom, the grapevine trellis in front of the window, and the osmanthus tree in the corner of the courtyard.
But some of the original good scenery, except for a few flower beds converted into vegetable fields, the rest have also been retained, such as two rockeries with peculiar shapes, exquisite viewing pavilions, small bridges and flowing water, lotus ponds and weeping willows.
Dong Rong really liked such a quiet scenery the most, and when the couple sat in the gazebo drinking tea and gossiping, they smiled and said, "In the future, you have to accompany me every day, otherwise the child will grow too fat in my belly, and it will be laborious to give birth." β
When Murong Huaide heard this for the first time, he couldn't help but ask nervously, "How is that good?" β
Dong Rong picked up a piece of fluffy dim sum and comforted him while eating, "Don't worry, I just said that in case, just pay more attention on weekdays." β
Murong Huaide breathed a sigh of relief, and finally turned his head and instructed Zizhu, "If I am not in the mansion in the future, you must serve Madame carefully, and remember to accompany her out for a walk." β
"Yes, sir." Zizhu smiled in response, turned around and wanted to take advantage of the master's sitting in one place, and quickly ran back to the hospital to settle his luggage. But before she could walk down the pavilion, Yiba trotted over and reported, "Childe, someone from the palace is here, it's an old woman." After speaking, she pouted and added, "She has a really fierce temper, I will ask two more questions, and she will scold me for being unruly!" β
Murong Huaide guessed that it must be the old grandmother beside the concubine, so he frowned unconsciously. Dong Rong saw his look in his eyes, and although he was reluctant in his heart, he still smiled, "If you have something to do, go and get busy, and it just so happens that I will also arrange for someone to sort out the luggage." Come back early in the evening, though, and I'll cook a few of your favorite dishes. β
"Okay," Murong Huaide got up and combed her sideburns, and replied gently, "I'll be back in a while, don't be too tired." β
Dong Rong leaned on the back of the chair and saw him go around the rockery and walk without a shadow, so he sighed softly. Her husband is no longer a stupid boy of the Cao family, and she naturally can't be as domineering and strong as she was at the beginning. But she doesn't think she's stupid, and it's still easy to pretend to be pitiful and weak once in a while, or play a harmless little trick. Coupled with the feelings accumulated by more than a year of acquaintance and the baby eggs in her stomach, she doesn't believe that there are invincible enemies and bad days...
Zizhu and Yiba quietly looked at the master of the iQue, and looked at each other very uneasily, but in the end, it was Zizhu who stepped forward to pour the tea, and asked with a low smile, "Madam, it's almost noon, you can eat some fresh dishes first, and I'll go and prepare." β
Dong Rong came back to her senses and was about to speak, but she saw Yiba huddled behind the pavilion pillar and only showed a black braid and two big eyes, so she asked funny, "Is this the girl who was originally on duty in the house?" β
Yiba heard the master's question, and ran over without waiting for Zizhu to speak, and responded with a smile, "Madame is fine, the slave maid is called Yiba, and she has been serving by the son's side in the past month." β
Dong Rong was drinking water from the tea bowl, and almost squirted out. She quickly pulled the handkerchief and wiped the corners of her mouth, and finally asked with a strange face, "What's your name, did I hear it wrong?" β
Yiba was half aggrieved and half anxious, "Madame heard me right, but the slave is not the tail on the kitten and puppy." The slave is the eighth secret guard in the B group, so... It's called B-8. β
Dong Rong looked at the little girl's delicate little face flushed with shame, and guessed that in the past, she must have been teased by others because of her name, so she quickly put away her smile, beckoned her to her and asked, "Both groups A and B are serving by my side, how come I don't know that there is a lovely girl like you?" β
Yiba was very happy to get the praise, but he blushed a little when he talked about his embarrassment, so he replied vaguely, "The slave maid was not good at learning before... Well, that one stumbled. The master punished the slave and maid to stay in the garden for two more months, and when he came out, the son returned to Kyoto, so he called me to serve with him. Childe said, when Mrs. comes, I will protect Mrs. closely, and I can also talk to tease Mrs. to relieve her boredom. β
Dong Rong liked that this girl spoke straightforwardly, and she said that she was very confused, so she smiled, "Okay, it just so happens that there is a shortage of people around me to do things, so you will follow Zizhu in the future." In addition, as long as you don't have to be too restrained at home, you can call yourself "me". β
"Mrs. Xie." Yihachi nodded happily, and at the end he didn't know what to think of and asked hesitantly, "Madam, if you are cooking, can you let me serve with you?" That, Boss A said that the braised pork you made is the best delicacy in the world, and he always bragged to us, and I also wanted to... See for yourself. β
"Oh, you just want to see?" Dong Rong couldn't help but tease her when she saw that the little girl's eyes were round, and she couldn't help but tease her with a very coveted look, and said, "Then after it's done, you won't be able to taste it." β
"Ah, ma'am, no!" Yiba immediately made a bitter face, wagging his tail like a puppy and leaned forward and shook his master's arm, "Madam, can you share a bowl with me?" I've dreamed about it several times, but every time Boss A runs into my dream and grabs my bowl... Whining... I hate him to death! β
Dong Rong held her stomach and smiled softly, this living treasure girl is so cute. She had also guessed how the guards were trained before, and based on the movies she had seen in her previous life, it must have been very bloody and cruel. But seeing that Yiba is so cute today, she feels that she is too careful, after all, it is impossible to raise such a little girl who is soaked in the sun in a dirty place.
