Chapter 232: Entering the Mansion

Although the soldiers are in chaos, but Shen Lan and his party are protected by soldiers, and they are still very safe all the way, and when they arrived in Jinzhou, they directly followed Song Wenxiang to the General's Mansion, the General's Mansion is very large, and the servants and maids in the Mansion are all available, and Song Wenxiang just entered the Mansion and asked the housekeeper in the house to arrange a courtyard for everyone, and then ordered someone to lead everyone back to their respective courtyards to wash and rest first, and as for other things, they will wait for everyone to rest all the way and then arrange it.

Song Wenxiang personally took her and the two children to the residence, it stands to reason that Song Wenxiang should have arranged for his parents first, and let the next person lead Shen Lan's mother and son to the residence, but in fact, he just asked the housekeeper to send someone to lead others to the residence, but he personally took Shen Lan and them away, which must be unfilial in the eyes of outsiders, and it is going to fall on the tongue, but Song Wenxiang seems to be completely unaware.

Shen Lan naturally wouldn't remind her, anyway, Song Wenxiang didn't agree with the Song family, which was a good thing for her, so Shen Lan would definitely not pretend to be virtuous and bring up this matter, if she personally went into battle to deal with the Song family and provoked hatred, it was better to do nothing, not to say anything and look aside, and occasionally add fuel to the fire.

Song Wenxiang led Shen Lan to a courtyard facing south, the courtyard door hung with the three words Luoying Courtyard, a lot of tall trees were planted outside the courtyard, although it was already spring, but the trees had not yet begun to sprout, but hung a lot of pink buds, Shen Lan looked at the buds that looked like cherry blossoms, so it seems that the name of this courtyard probably came from this.

"Watch out for the threshold." When he entered the door, Song Wenxiang unconsciously helped Shen Lan, and Shen Lan whispered thanks. Only then did they enter the courtyard.

Song Wenxiang on the side didn't say anything when he heard this, but looked a little disappointed, and then asked with a reluctant smile: "Lan Niang, how is it?" Is this yard good? ”

Hearing this, Shen Lan subconsciously looked around, this yard is very spacious, and the ground is paved with green bricks, maybe this yard has been built for some years, so there is already some moss on the green bricks, but on the whole, this yard is still good, and flowers and trees are planted in front of and behind the house. On the west side of the main house, there is also a clump of Xiangfei bamboo. The greenery adds a bit of color.

Pursing her lips, Shen Lan nodded, and said with a faint smile on her face: "It's good, it's very elegant." ”

Hearing this, Song Wenxiang had a big smile on his face. At this time, the stone that was being held by the Xu family also spoke: "Mother." Will we live here in the future? Can I play Keju in the yard with Sister Xiangling? ”

"Of course." Song Wenxiang looked back at his son and said. Then he said: "But you won't live in this yard in the future, this is where your father and mother live, and you will have your own place in the future." You're still young, so you'll live in a wing room here, and when you're older, you'll have to live in your own yard. ”

"Ah, can't you live with your mother?" Suddenly, Shi Xiao's face became bitter, and he subconsciously ran towards his mother with his short legs, hugged his mother's legs, and said: "I don't want to be separated from my mother, I want to live with my mother." ”

Song Wenxiang squatted down with a smile when he heard this, looked at the stone and said, "I don't want to be separated from your mother, it's just that when you're older, you can't live in the same yard with your father and mother, but you still live in this house." ”

After speaking, he touched his son's head, but the stone was a little unconvinced, so he asked, "Are you really not separated from my mother?" ”

"No, but Shi is already a big child, but he can't always follow his mother as a little tail like his younger brother, Shi will have to study with Mr. in the future, and learn martial arts, so that he can be productive when he grows up, right?" Song Wenxiang said patiently to his son.

Shi hung his head and thought about it, as long as he didn't separate from his mother, he nodded and said: "I'm not a little tail, my mother taught me to read, I want to be the champion when I grow up in the future, so that my mother is happy." ”

Song Wenxiang was stunned when he heard this, he didn't expect his son to have this ambition, so he touched the eldest son's head with a smile, and said seriously: "Okay, my father and mother are waiting for you to take the top exam and come back to glorify your ancestors." ”

Shen Lan couldn't help but smile when she heard this, and interrupted: "Stone, do you still want to see your new residence?" ”

Children are easily distracted, and when Shen Lan asked this, they immediately shouted: "Think, think, where do I live?" ”

Song Wenxiang stretched out his hand and stood up holding the stone, smiled at Shen Lan, but said to the stone: "Well, you can live in the houses on both sides, it depends on where you like." ”

"yes, which one does Stone like?" Shen Lan also asked.

Shi immediately looked happily to both sides, but did not immediately choose where to live, but replied, "I'll go and see before deciding." ”

Song Wenxiang nodded, and said to the maid who followed next to him: "Cuiping, you take the eldest prince to have a look, see which room he likes, and then go and tell the housekeeper to arrange it." ”

"Yes, General." A maid who silently followed into the house immediately replied, and then said with a smile: "Eldest son, is it okay for the maid to take you to see the house?" ”

For the stranger who suddenly appeared, the stone was still very vigilant, so he unconsciously looked at his mother, Shen Lan saw it and said to Song Wenxiang: "It's better to let Mother Xu follow, the stone just came, and he is not familiar with the people in the house, but I am afraid that he will recognize his life." ”

Song Wenxiang also knew that he had ignored it when he heard this, so he changed his words and said, "Then let Mother Xu and Cuiping take him over together." ”

In this way, Xu hurriedly stepped forward, took the stone from Song Wenxiang's hand, and then said to Cui Ping with a smile: "Trouble girl." ”

Cuiping was naturally polite, and then left with Xu and Shishi, Song Wenxiang took Shen Lan to the main room, and when he entered the house, Song Wenxiang motioned to the little maid to serve tea, and arranged for someone to bring Xiangling and wood down, so that there were only Shen Lan and Song Wenxiang in the house, but the door was also open, so Shen Lan did not feel uncomfortable.

"How's that, do you like it?" Song Wenxiang led Shen Lan into the inner room, this inner room is naturally not what Shen Lan originally looked like in Yuanjiaji, but it is much bigger than there, the tables, chairs, wardrobes and beds in the room are all available, but obviously the cloud bed is smaller, the size of people's beds at this time is small, Shen Lan's bed in Yuanjiaji is still specially built, otherwise where is it so big.

Shen Lan couldn't say whether she liked it or not. Although the furniture in the house is all fine rosewood, and there are a lot of antique calligraphy and paintings, it is not the home she remembers, so no matter what kind of arrangement it is, she naturally can't talk about anything she likes.

"Okay." After Shen Lan spit out two words briefly, there was no sound.

Song Wenxiang couldn't help but be a little frustrated when he heard this, his brows frowned unconsciously, he was not a wooden man these days, and he naturally saw that something was wrong with Shen Lan. At first, he was a little weak-hearted. For fear that Shen Lan would see something, she didn't dare to get close to Shen Lan, and she didn't know how to get close to her, so even if she slept next to her, she didn't dare to cross the thunder pool by half a step. Is it because of this. That's why Shen Lan treated him like this?

It stands to reason that he is Shen Lan's husband. I haven't been home for more than a year, it doesn't seem right to snub the lady so much, could it be because of this that I can't get close to Shen Lan? Song Wenxiang secretly guessed in his heart. It's not that he doesn't want to, but it's a little homesick.

"Lan Niang." Song Wenxiang couldn't help but call softly, Shen Lan looked up at the court, these eyes were clean and clear, there was not even a trace of ripples, and when he looked at it, Song Wenxiang couldn't help but think that this woman seemed to have no feelings for her husband at all.

"What's wrong?" Seeing that Song Wenxiang just called himself, and then looked at him with a tangled expression, Shen Lan unconsciously reached out and touched his face.

Song Wenxiang looked at Shen Lan, who was looking at himself, the depression in his chest became deeper and deeper, and he couldn't help but raise his feet and walked towards Shen Lan, reaching out to grab Shen Lan's shoulder, Shen Lan was startled, and subconsciously looked up at him.

"Lan Niang, can't you look at me?" Song Wenxiang spoke a little bitterly.

As soon as the style of painting changed, Shen Lan was still a little confused, is this a smoke? Thinking so in her heart, Shen Lan didn't dare to say it, but replied: "Didn't I look at you?" ”

The frustration spread to Song Wenxiang's whole body, obviously it wasn't like this, he replaced Song Wenxiang, he didn't want to do this, he originally thought that Shen Lan rejected him because she had a husband, but at this time he had become that person, but Shen Lan still didn't have himself in his eyes, no matter what he did, he didn't seem to be able to see it in the eyes of this woman, what the hell was going on?

"Lan Niang, what do you want me to do, only in my eyes?" Song Wenxiang spoke with some frustration.

Hearing his words, Shen Lan was a little strange, although she didn't get along with Song Wenxiang for a long time, but after some things, she didn't think Song Wenxiang was a person who would say such things, and they had been together for more than half a month, Song Wenxiang was stunned and didn't move a finger from her, and the two of them slept in the same bed, although because there were children, but Shen Lan was not an ignorant person, this thing was too abnormal.

"What do you mean by that?" Shen Lan asked unconsciously.

Looking at Shen Lan, who was looking at him seriously, Song Wenxiang seemed to shout out the words in his heart without caring about anything, but after all, what he had experienced was too unbelievable, and he didn't know what Shen Lan would do if he knew the truth, so he took a deep breath and slowly let go of Shen Lan.

"It's not interesting, the housekeeper will bring the wooden nurse over later, you see for yourself who is suitable, stay if it is suitable, I'll go and see how my father and mother are doing." In the end, Song Wenxiang turned around, but he didn't finish speaking, and Shen Lan didn't understand him a little, so he didn't understand him in the first place, so Shen Lan nodded and replied, "Okay, you can go." ”

Song Wenxiang walked out without looking back when he heard this, and when he couldn't see his figure, Shen Lan breathed a deep sigh of relief, in fact, what Song Wenxiang said, how could she not understand, just deliberately pretending to be stupid, speaking of which this person came back this time is still a little strange, she still remembers the first time she saw him, obviously under such circumstances, this person can still do such a thing regardless of his wishes, this time he has been back for so long, even if two people sleep in the same bed, this person does not have a trace of impulse, which makes her a little strange.

However, Shen Lan also thought about it, it was not a love that was born to live, so Song Wenxiang's gentlemanly behavior this time not only did not make Shen Lan feel good about him, but felt that maybe he had other women, so she didn't have such a guess like last time, Shen Lan was somewhat relieved, but she didn't expect that Song Wenxiang would change again when she first came to Jinzhou, which made her a little uneasy.

However, Shen Lan was not allowed to think too much, and after a while, the housekeeper brought a few women over, Xu and Xiangling were both taken care of by Shen Lan to take care of the two children, at this time, the people who were serving by Shen Lan's side were naturally not familiar people, but the maidservants of Luoying Courtyard, as for what the name was, Shen Lan had not had time to ask.

"Madam, this is the nurse who the general sent a message back to his subordinates to find, Madame, please take a look." The housekeeper of the General's Mansion looked like he was about forty years old, and he spoke very calmly, standing aside without being humble or arrogant.

Shen Lan looked at the three women who were brought in by the housekeeper, each of them didn't look very old, and they were decent and clean, and the clothes on their bodies were also exquisite, they didn't look like they were being nurses, and the daughters-in-law of ordinary wealthy families were just like that.

"What's your name, how old are you, what did you do before, how many children did you raise?" Why did you come to the General's Mansion to be a nurse? Shen Lan asked with a gentle expression.

After listening to Shen Lande's question, the woman standing on the left took the lead in coming over to Fu Fu and said: "The little woman Song Liushi, whose name is Yuxiu in the boudoir, is eighteen years old this year, has given birth to two children, and the family is farming for a living. ”

After speaking, he stood aside honestly, without a superfluous word, seeing that she was finished, the woman who was standing in the middle also came over, also blessed, smiled before speaking, and said in a crisp voice: "Mrs. Wan'an, the little woman Xu Cai, called Xueqin in the boudoir, is sixteen years old this year, just gave birth to a daughter, the family was originally a small business, but now the world is not good, the family business can not continue, I came out to find a job this time, I just heard that the general's mansion is recruiting nurses, so I came to give it a try." ”

Shen Lan nodded when she heard this, but didn't say anything else, but turned to another woman and asked, "What about you?" ”

"Back to Mrs. Hui's words, the little woman Zhong Geshi, this year is twenty years old, just gave birth to her first child a few years ago, the family is also farming, and in the past she also did sewing and domestic work, this time because the child was born, I wanted to find a nurse's job, just heard that your house needs a nurse, so I came." The last woman said crisply, originally watching the three of them walk in, Shen Lan thought that they were all solid families, but now she knows when she asks, and the clothes on these women are probably also prepared by the house.

In this way, Shen Lan looked up and down a few people again, the first woman was honest, the second woman looked left and right and her eyes were not honest, and the third was calm and steady, looking like a person who was used to doing work, Shen Lan looked at it for a while, and then said to the maid on the side: "Go and bring the little boy over, let them feed the little boy, and see whose milk the little boy serves."
