Chapter 466: Xiao Wei
Zhou Shuyuan returned to Beijing as a saint, and he never met Xiao Lelin again in his life, but he didn't expect to receive such news on the first day he moved into his new home, not to mention how unlucky it was.
Jian Ying was still gloating on the sidelines, "I guess you were either a negative man who stole incense and jade in your last life, or a tomb robber who dug up someone's ancestral grave, otherwise how could God arrange a cousin to respond to you in this life?" ”
Zhou Shu pursed his lips with a dark face, "It may not be that you came to me." ”
As soon as these words came out, even he himself was unsure when he heard it.
In order to let Xiao Lelin extinguish his thoughts early, the three books and six ceremonies were all done tightly, and asked Qin Tian to supervise the recent days and set the wedding date at the beginning of this winter. In other words, in less than a month, Xiao Lelin should get married. Ordinary brides to be married can't go out a month before they get married, let alone a royal daughter?
She ran to Jinan Mansion at this time, didn't she come to him for what else?
He and Xiao Lelin are cousins, if Xiao Lelin makes trouble here, he will have to bear the charge of seducing the princess to escape marriage. This is really a man sitting at home, and woe comes from heaven.
Jian Ying also knew that this matter was not easy to do, so she joked, "Or, if you go out and hide for a few days, I'll send her?" ”
Zhou Shu shook his head, "There is no reason for me to hide behind and let you help me prevent disasters in front." Besides, I can't hide from the fifteenth year of junior high school, if I am not there, Xiao Lelin will be untrustworthy and shout indiscriminately about some and some are not, then I will have a hundred mouths and I can't explain it clearly.
Since I'm here, I'll meet her. He spoke face to face with the gong and the drum. If she is interested, it would be best if she is interested, and if she is not interested, then she will not blame me for not saving face for her and the royal family. ”
Jian Ying saw that his attitude was very upright, so she also calmed down, grabbed his hand and shook it, "Don't worry, the old demon of Montenegro has been cured, and she can't cure a yellow-haired girl?" ”
Zhou Shu was laughed at by her words, and gently pinched her nose, "Aren't you also a yellow-haired girl?" ”
Jian Ying rolled her eyes. "Then you're a pedophile."
It is still some time before Xiao Lelin arrives. There was no need to wait in formation, after the two finished speaking, they went out hand in hand and walked around the house.
The saint gave the plaque of "Loyal and Brave Uncle's Mansion". It is necessary to wait for the Bofu to be built, and then hang it after burning incense and bowing down. The house here simply hung a door plaque with the word "Zhoufu" written on it.
As soon as the news of the separation spread. The subordinates in the mansion also took the initiative to vote, saying that they were willing to come over to serve the second young master and the second young lady, but they were all rejected by Jian Ying and Zhou Shu. Except for the people in the Blue Courtyard and the Tea Garden. I didn't ask for any more.
If you take the opportunity to insert someone in, it will take a lot of effort to clean up. Besides, it's just a temporary stay, and there is no need to add so many people for a while.
Shi Quan picked out more than a dozen people who were good and not too eye-catching from those people trained by Zhou Shu, took the formal paperwork, and became the head of the nursing home, and he himself became the head of the nursing home.
The whole house is up and down, but there are only forty or fifty people. Although the house is much smaller than the palace, it looks much more spacious than the palace because of the small number of people.
The study in front of it was changed according to the style of the tea garden, and the camellia inside was moved one by one. also built a small courtyard for Xiao Zheng next to it, and the name of the courtyard was "Drunken Lu".
Xiao Zheng liked it very much, and even wrote a picture of "Singing about Wine", which was framed and hung on the hall decently.
Imperial Physician Gao also has his own courtyard, which is called "Baicaotang". There were two entrances, and according to his intentions, the front was arranged as a study, with a pharmacy attached, and a bedroom in the back.
The name of the courtyard in the upper room is Jian Ying, and it is called "Ju'an Courtyard". Xueqin was embarrassed to read a few times and suggested that she change it, but Zhou Shu felt that it was no better, so it was decided.
Jiang's mother, Fang's mother and Qingmo each lived in a small courtyard, and each arranged two serving girls. Several of the big girls around Jian Ying live in one courtyard, and the other mothers-in-law and girls are arranged in the other two courtyards.
Each yard elects a steward, who is responsible for scheduling shifts, receiving wages, and welfare for the four seasons, as well as daily discipline. Xueqin is the head of all the stewards, that is, the head of the backyard.
Jian Ying had already asked Yun Zheng to draw up a charter according to her intentions and posted it on the notice boards of each academy. Who is responsible for what, who is on duty where, when to be on duty, how to work shifts, how much is paid, who is responsible for what happens, how to be responsible, etc., are all clearly written.
Zhou Shu followed Jian Ying's method and also divided the work among his subordinates: Huibai, who is good at settling accounts, is the housekeeper of the outer courtyard, Cuifeng is in charge of the study, Houkui is still a long-term follower, and Longjing is responsible for a mess of things outside the house.
Although it has only been less than half a day since I moved here, because everyone knows where their posts are and what they should do, they are not chaotic.
Jian Ying and Zhou Shu didn't deliberately publicize the move, but they all knew what they should know, and they sent people to send a warm stove to Lilly. According to the customs of Jinan Mansion, there are few banquets on the day of moving, and they all send warm stove gifts first, and then hold a banquet after three or two days.
It's also a loss, otherwise Xiao Lelin will make trouble at the banquet, but it won't be able to end.
For lunch, the fire is lit for the first time, and worship in the stove room. Then he put the first pot of food in a bowl and put it in various places and offered it to everyone, and distributed it among everyone to eat, which was called the Fenxi stove. At night, you have to burn paper to invite the house god to drive away evil spirits.
These tedious things need to be done by the head of the family.
Zhou Shu doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, but since he is his own home, he is so auspicious and how to come, so he was interested and was instructed to do it seriously.
As soon as it was dark, Xiao Lelin came.
The message sent by Xiao Zheng only said that Xiao Lelin was coming, but he didn't expect to come with him, as well as the eldest prince Xiao Wei.
Xiao Wei's appearance is not quite similar to that of Shengshang and Queen He, with a polite and elegant body, like a warm jade, warm and round, without the slightest edges and corners. The smile is even more like a spring breeze, and I unconsciously want to be close to him.
Before Zhou Shu's knees touched the ground, he stretched out his long arms to support him, "Brother Xian, don't be polite, our brother and sister are on the orders of our father this time, and we are going to visit relatives by the way." ”
Zhou Shu couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, he always thought that Xiao Lelin had secretly run out, and when he heard what the eldest prince meant, he actually came on the order of the saint? The saint asked his daughter to be married to come all the way to Jinan Mansion to meet the foreign man, what does this mean?
Thinking about it in his heart, he couldn't help but look at Xiao Lelin.
Since entering the door, Xiao Lelin's eyes have never left Zhou Shu. Coldly, they looked at each other, and two blush flew on a pretty face that was dusty, and he called out "Brother Zhou" in his mouth.
