Yuan Xiu lowered his head and was silent. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Then she reached for a flower shovel from the shelf, carefully shoveled some dirt and put it in the pot.

"Grandpa," she asked, turning her head to the gardener, "you said you were leaving the mansion soon, and you didn't want to be a gardener here anymore." ”

"Is it true?"

There was silence in the conservatory, and Yuan Xiu raised her head to look at her grandfather.

"yes, I've thought about it several times."

The gardener looked at Yuan Xiu and said, "Ah Xiu, grandpa is old, and it is not a way for you to follow me to stay in this mansion." ”

"We're going to have to get out after all."

The gardener sighed as he spoke, looked at the neatly arranged flowers and plants on the shelves in the conservatory, and was a little distracted for a while.

"Grandpa, what are we going to do when we go out?"

Yuan Xiu asked after a long while.

"Ah Xiu, I haven't thought about this yet, if you want to settle down in the town, you have to find something to do."

The gardener paused and said, "Ah Xiu, I have also saved a little money in the house all these years, think about it before you go out." ”

After listening to Yuan Xiu, his mood was a little low at that moment.

...... I watched Master Wan move his hands at the long table in the courtyard.

He picked up the tools placed on top of him and talked to Ah Rong who was standing beside him.

I didn't have much to do to help for the time being, so I started cleaning a few rooms in the small courtyard.

From time to time, the sound of two people talking could be heard in the courtyard.

I could hear them talking when I stayed in the house and wiped down the tables and chairs.

After about half an hour, I finished cleaning the house and walked to the carriage in the courtyard.

I want to see the steps of Master Wan and Ah Rong.

When I got closer, they also stopped what they were doing and rested for a while.

I turned my mind around, looked at Master Wan and said, "Master Wan, I mentioned to Ah Rong before that I wanted to ask her if she could let us join forces when the female official came here to inspect!" ”

I patiently told Master Wan about the food delivery last night, and he frowned.

After a while, he looked at us and shook his head and said, "There is no place where there are such rules, even if you go to someone's house to help with things, the food of the master craftsman will not be harsh." ”

I nodded, knowing he had a point.

Ah Rong interjected on the side: "Master Wan, Xiaolin and I didn't even have enough to eat, and then I was called for questioning, but when I was waiting in the house...... Some dim sum to eat. ”

Ah Rong pointed to me on the side and said, "Xiao Lin is also lucky, he was called by the attendant to work when it was almost dawn, and he also got some food." ”

In fact, there are still things that he doesn't know.

That is, when he was not there in the middle, Yuan Xiu also came to the small courtyard and sent steamed buns for me.

I looked at Master Wan, paused, and said, "I think the weather is too cold, even if the person who delivered the food didn't treat us harshly, it would be cold when we got here." ”

"Master Wan, let's just ask them for some extra ingredients in the kitchen, just go over and get them once a day."

In such a large house, I know very well that the ingredients prepared in the kitchen every day are very objective.

When I was in the Chengdong Mansion in Suzhou, Yuanbao's sister Adei often came, and she mentioned to me a lot of things in the big kitchen of the house.

"If you want to make a fire, the small stove in the middle of the house is not enough, so we can build a temporary stove in the corner of the yard."

"I've done it more than once in the military, and you know it."

Ah Rong seemed to think my suggestion was good, and stayed aside to help talk.

After thinking about it, Master Wan looked at the two of us and said, "Okay, anyway, let's do it ourselves and don't bother others." ”

"It's better to wait for the female officer to come and ask, if she doesn't agree......"

I answered calmly: "It's okay if she doesn't agree, just talk to her and ask for advice." ”

"Okay, that's it!"

Master Wan agreed very happily.

I glanced at Aron and the latter smiled.

"If this is done, I will do the food here, and I am worried that I will not be able to help you!"

I looked at Master Wan and said confidently, "I will still do this little thing." ”

And, I'm doing a great job!

...... In the greenhouse of the flower garden, the gardener looked at Yuan Xiu and said, "Ah Xiu, you can go for a while and send the easternmost pot of flowers on the second floor of the shelf to Lady Liu." ”

"She mentioned it when she met me the other day."

Yuan Xiu calmed down, looked at the gardener and said, "Okay, grandpa, I'll send it later." ”

The gardener stared at Yuan Xiu for a moment, and then said, "On the way, you pass near the small courtyard, so don't go again." ”

"At this time, people should also get to work, if you go, it will disturb others."

Yuan Xiu raised his head and glanced at the gardener quickly, and then replied in a low voice: "Grandpa, I know." ”

Yuan Xiu put down the small shovel in his hand, walked to the flower stand, and brought over the pot of flowers and plants with small pale pink flowers.

The gardener took out a suitably sized box from the side and gave it to Yuan Xiu, and carefully put the flowers and plants in it together.

There are fixed places around the area, so you won't drop it halfway.

Yuan Xiu walked to the door with the box in both hands, looked at the gardener and said, "Grandpa, I'll go now." ”

The gardener watched her walk out the small door of the conservatory with some worry in his eyes.

...... Yuan Xiu walked on the path with a small wooden box containing flowers.

She walked through the woods, and not far away was the small courtyard where the craftsmen lived.

She stopped under the big tree, her eyes fixed on the wall of the small courtyard.

Later, she walked slowly and approached the west door.

I heard a voice from the yard, and it sounded very unfamiliar.

She stopped again and listened to what seemed to be a middle-aged man talking.

Yuan Xiuxin said, it's about the Master Wan that Xiao Lin said is back, right?

Now the sun is shining, the sky is bright, and it is a good time to work.

Thinking of what his grandfather told him in the conservatory before leaving, Yuan Xiu didn't come forward and knock on the door after staying for a while.

She followed the path, through the woods, and turned to another path.

The house where the lady Liu lived was not far from the courtyard where His Majesty lived, and she didn't like to meet many people along the way, so she had to take a detour.

Fortunately, the path here is very familiar to Yuan Xiu, even if he goes around and around, he will not be mistaken.

As she passed around the corner with the box of flowers, a fork in the road appeared in front of her.

From here, take a detour to the lake in the backyard.

Yuan Xiu glanced in the direction of the attic.

In the sun, the roof of the attic reflects the sun and looks very bright.

I heard that the national teacher...... She looked curiously in that direction for a moment.

Yuan Xiu couldn't go into the backyard, and he didn't have a chance to sneak over.

Compared with the previous instructions to her, grandpa said several times more about the attic where the national teacher lived and the forbidden area to enter.

Speaking of which, the gardener just told Yuan Xiu not to run over there because of curiosity.

I heard that there are really attendants who don't know each other and have bothered them.

At that time, he was still in the palace, and His Majesty did not hesitate to deal with it!

Thinking of this, Yuan Xiu's back sank, and he shuddered, and then sped up his pace to Lady Liu's residence.

...... Yuan Xiu walked through the corridor, and he would see a few attendants passing by.

She stopped suddenly, and the two attendants who passed by the corner of the courtyard looked very angry.

A hint of suspicion flashed through her heart.

Recently, there seem to be some unfamiliar attendants in the courtyard, some of whom have come directly with His Majesty, but there are still a few of them, and they don't look like they came from the palace.

Every time Yuan Xiu saw it, he had doubts in his heart.

At this moment, he saw two attendants who looked at their faces passing by, and Yuan Xiu's suspicions were deeper than before.

She frowned and thought about it, after all, she felt that this matter had nothing to do with her.

Speaking of which, there are also female officials in the mansion who come with His Majesty, and these things should be more attentive to them, right?

Yuan Xiu suppressed the thoughts in her heart and continued to walk forward.

Although the box containing the flower pot is not heavy, it is still a little tiring to carry it in your hand after a long journey.

Yuan Xiu also wanted to get to the house where Lady Liu lived quickly.

She came to deliver flowers instead of her grandfather, and she was glad that she was the one who came to deliver potted flowers.

Changing to grandpa walking so much, his legs and feet can't stand it even more!

Yuan Xiu saw the house where Nuguan Liu lived at the end of the corridor, and walked over with a quick pace.

She met a person at the door who came out after cleaning the house, and the man looked at Yuan Xiu's eyes and lit up.

It had been several days since he arrived at the house, and Yuan Xiu had already known a few of them.

"Miss Yuan, did you send potted flowers?"

The man stepped forward to say a few words to Yuan Xiu.

Yuan Xiu responded with a smile: "Yes, my grandfather asked me to send flowers and plants for Lady Liu, and you just finished cleaning?" ”

The man stood at the door and thought about it, helped take the box in Yuan Xiu's hand, and took it into the house.

When Yuan Xiu entered, he couldn't help but praise in his heart when he saw that it was neat and bright, and everything was in order.

When his eyes swept over the neatly arranged books on the table, Yuan Xiu's heart had another layer of envy.

Soon, she placed the flowers in the right place and was ready to leave.

When he exited the door, Yuan Xiu still couldn't help but look at it a few more times.

She had been to the house where several female officials lived in the courtyard, especially the house of female official Liu and the place where Master Gu lived, which actually looked very much like the study of the son.

That's a life that's different from herself, Yuan Xiu said in her heart.

She walked down the corridor, intending to return to the garden, but she was thinking about what her grandfather had said in the conservatory at the beginning.

The gardener has already made up plans to quit, and it is estimated that he will not stay in the house for long.

Yuan Xiu knows his grandfather's personality, if he really thinks about good things, there will rarely be changes.

My grandfather has a stubborn feeling that he can't be flexible.

Just like his prejudice against Xiao Lin, a person who has never even met in person feels that people are inappropriate.

Yuan Xiu turned his mind in his heart and invisibly quickened his pace.

Now there is no box of flowers and plants in her hand, and she is not so tired when she walks, she is much faster than when she came.

It didn't take long for me to turn onto another trail.

...... Greeted by two palace maids, who also followed His Majesty from the Sealand Palace to the Northland.

Yuan Xiu stepped forward to say hello, and the two palace maids were also very polite.

"Sister, where are you going?"

One of the palace maids was more familiar with Yuan Xiu, and when she saw her, she couldn't help but ask, "Ah Xiu, you came here to send flowers and plants instead of grandpa, didn't you?" ”

"Yes, I just came out of Lady Liu's place to deliver potted flowers."

Yuan Xiu looked at her and replied.

The palace maid's gaze stayed on her for a moment, and then turned to the person beside her: "You are the first time you have seen Ah Xiu, right?" ”

"Her grandfather is the gardener in our house, and I met it on the first day I came."

The palace maid who followed showed a sudden look, looked at Yuan Xiu and nodded friendlyly, and then asked, "You also live in the courtyard?" ”

"I live in a very remote part of the house, and if I don't come out, my sister won't be able to see me."

Yuan Xiu replied with a smile.

The palace maid looked at her and asked, "You usually follow your grandfather to work in the flower garden?" ”

"Yes, they're all in the flower garden, and they rarely go out unless they're out to deliver something."

...... Standing on the path, the three of them spoke in a row.

The palace maid looked at Yuan Xiu and said, "Ah Xiu, let's talk about it next time, I still want to ask you about planting flowers." ”

"That...... I don't know much, but my grandfather is still doing it. ”

The palace maid passed by Yuan Xiu's side, and the two of them talked and continued to walk forward.

Yuan Xiu stopped suddenly, and heard a sentence just now.

The faint voice in the wind seemed to mention the matter of the attendants in the house, and said that he had been transferred to do miscellaneous work last night.

She was taken aback, it stands to reason that almost all of these attendants were in fixed positions.

This is not something that can be promoted in the army by virtue of military merits.

Generally speaking, what they do is almost immutable, unless some of them have been promoted over time.

But from squires to handymen, the gap is still a little bigger.

Yuan Xiu watched the two palace maids walk away, and the gossip she overheard just now made her a little unable to come back to her senses.

I wonder if grandpa has heard about it?

Although the place here in the house cannot be compared with the Sealand Palace, there are many people working underneath.

As soon as the news came out, it would not be long before the entire house would know.

Yuan Xiuxin said that person didn't know what mistake he had made, and he was punished by the top?!

...... Master Wan and Ah Rong were busy removing the wheels and scrubbing them on the side.

I stood in the corner of the yard and cleaned up a few rusty tools from the storeroom.

I crouched on the ground and wiped it carefully, as meticulously as I could.

I think Master Wan is very serious about doing things, since he is now nominally a master craftsman, I have to learn a little bit to do things with him.

The female officer didn't come here, so I had to find something to do.

After walking around the storeroom and yard, I managed to find something to pass the time.

I don't want to be idle, it's hard.

Especially when I saw Master Wan and Ah Rong busy in the courtyard, I was alone on the side...... The feeling is even greater.
