Chapter 13 Moving
When Shen He returned home, it was already noon, Xiao Cui had already prepared a meal and was waiting for her in the yard, seeing her come back and hurriedly clean up the food, she walked over and touched Xiao Cui's head: "Next time it's late, you can eat first, you don't have to wait for me to eat", Xiao Cui looked at her but shook her head vigorously: "Miss, you are the best person in the world for me, I also have to be good to Miss", Shen He smiled helplessly, and pulled her to sit down to eat together.

The weather is gradually getting cooler, there is a faint autumn mood in the wind, just after the Midyear Festival, there is still a month to go is the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Recently, Shen He has made six sets of satisfactory styles, and Huang Ji'an has read them one by one and expressed his satisfaction. But these clothes are not the final product, she told the embroidery girls in the store to embroider different patterns on each dress, she has painted the appearance, there are peonies, lotuses, narcissus, plum blossoms and other colorful patterns, and at the same time according to the color of each dress to find the corresponding accessories, Huang Ji'an also opened several jewelry stores in the county, just looking for it, there is really no suitable one, so find a craftsman to speed up the production. Shen He asked Huang Ji'an not to make these clothes and accessories public for the time being, but to store them in the store first, and she also had other uses, Huang Ji'an had full trust in her, so he listened to her arrangement.
Early this morning, Shen He and Xiao Cuitian started to get up and pack their things before dawn, they were moving today. Yesterday, Shen He had already gone to the third uncle's house to say goodbye, and the third uncle said that he would find a few people to help move today. When they were almost cleaned up and the sky was bright, they heard a burst of footsteps outside the door. When I opened the door, it was the third uncle who came with a few young men from the village, Shen He saw that in addition to a few young people in the family, Tie Dan, Bolt Pillar and Bolt Pillar Niang all came, seeing that Shen He had not changed so much for a few days, they were all surprised and widened their eyes, Shen He just smiled at them, and beckoned Xiaocui to pour them tea, the third uncle waved his hand and said: "It's all my own family, don't bother, they are here to help, not to make trouble." Shen He hired a carriage in advance and has now stopped outside the door. The third uncle instructed these young people to move things outside, Xiaocui cleaned up in the house, and Shen He looked at some important items not to bumble.
Everyone was busy, and suddenly heard Xiao Cui calling: "Miss, Miss, come and have a look", Shen He walked to the west wing, thinking as he walked, this Xiao Cui is really a child, there are so many people today, what is the fuss. When he walked into the room, Shen He was also stunned, only to see that there was a whole wall of books on the inside of the wall of the west wing. The books are embedded in a wooden lattice in the wall, and there is a partition on the outside, so you can't really see it if you don't pay attention to it. Shen He walked closer and took out a book, only to see that it was a copy of "Lao Tzu", she was looking at it, the third uncle heard the movement and also came over to look, seeing the book on the wall, the third uncle's eyes became complicated.
"Third uncle, come and take a look, what's going on with these books?" Shen He looked at him and asked.
The third uncle looked at these books with a deep expression, "These should be left to you by your father, your father he-", the third uncle wanted to speak and stopped, "Lotus, you must know that your parents, they are not ordinary people, what a precious thing they left to you" The third uncle only said these words and did not say more. Shen He wanted to ask, but seeing so many people around, he didn't ask any more, and just asked Xiaocui to pack up these books and move them away.
Everyone was busy for nearly two hours, and everything was almost moved. Shen He asked the third uncle and the others to go back to rest, and she and Xiaocui stayed and went to the county seat to clean up. When they were packed up and ready to leave, the bolt pillar came back with a few paper bags in their hands, and Shen He saw that their lunch and dinner had been settled. "Sister Lotus, this is some pastries that my mother just made, and they are still hot, you don't have to cook later" The bolt pillar handed the paper bag to Shen He, and Shen He took it and thanked him. Recently, because the sweets made by Zhuzhu Niang are delicious and inexpensive, her pastries are very popular in the surrounding villages and towns, and she has to make more than a dozen catties every day. Today, seeing that Shen He was too busy to move, she didn't have time to cook, so she specially picked out some of Shen He's favorite pastries and asked the bolt pillar to send them over.
Zhu Zhu looked at their carriage and said: "Sister Lotus, I'll go to the county seat with you, and I can help move things when the time comes" Shen He said: "I have hired a few people in the county seat, you don't have to bother" Zhu Zhu said that he would also help, he had already gotten into the carriage, Shen He saw that he insisted on doing so, and no longer stopped him, and the three of them took the carriage to the county seat.
By the time they had put the furniture and belongings in order, and the weeds in the yard were removed, it was already getting dark. Shen He asked the bolt pillar to go back first, and she and Xiaocui wiped the dust in each room again, it was already night. The two of them simply freshened up, ate some pastries, and then lay tired on the bed and refused to move.
After a few days, the new home has almost settled down, the weeds in the courtyard have been cleaned up by Xiaocui, and the stone table and stone bench have been wiped by Shen He many times and a set of exquisite tea sets have been placed; The furniture in the house has also been neatly arranged. A house in the middle is the main room, used for entertaining guests and resting, the center of the room against the wall is placed a pear marble long case, on both sides of the case is placed a pair of azure glazed jade pot spring bottles, in the bottle inserted a few small cui from the nearby lotus pond lotus flowers; On the west wall, there is a large rice Xiangyang's "Smoke and Rain Map", and a couplet is hung on the left and right, which is Yan Lugong's ink, and its word cloud: Yanxia idle bones, Quanshiye career. On the red sandalwood shelf on the left is a large plate of official kilns, which contains two bunches of crystal clear grapes, which are said to have been brought back by Huang Ji'an from the Western Regions. On the black lacquer shelf on the right hangs a white jade flounder chime, and next to it hangs a small hammer. The couch is an arhat bed with a green double-embroidered floral grass and insect gauze tent. It gives people the impression that the overall width is dense and the details are dense, full of a chic and elegant bookish atmosphere.
The two rooms on the west side are arranged as bedrooms and stove rooms by Shen He; A small pavilion on the east side was made a study by Shen He, which was specially filled with the books left by her father. She found that her father's books covered a wide range of books, not only "Analects", "Mencius", "Book of Rites", "Zhuangzi", "Laozi", "Book of Songs" and other ancient books, but also a lot of famous scriptures, in addition to some travel notes that introduce local customs and miscellaneous books on medical books, tea classics, flower classics, etc., which are really diverse and varied. Although she didn't understand how her father could have such a rich collection of books, she somewhat understood the words of her third uncle, which was indeed a valuable treasure that she would have inexhaustible throughout her life. In order to facilitate future reference, Shen He took a day to sort out and classify these books, and arrange them in order. Then I found a large shelf in the old furniture market, put the books on it, and made beautiful curtains on each drawer to prevent the books from being dusted.
The remaining room in the southeasternmost corner was cleaned up by Shen He and used as her dressing room, so that her tools and drawings would not be littered by Xiao Cui.
After the new home was cleaned up, Shen He began to work on her silver again. She was very busy during this time, not only to supervise the progress of the embroidery girls and the effect of embroidery, but also to help match the appropriate jewelry, and the most important thing was not implemented, that is, to find beautiful women.
