Chapter 770: Yangcheng (2)
With a lot of question marks in her mind, Hu Xiaoting followed Shuyu back to the room where she was drugged just now, and Shuyu told her that this would be her room from now on, and his brother's room was next door, so that she could take care of it.
Hu Xiaoting was not only grateful again, but she didn't expect that their sister and brother would have such a good room alone, and it was next door!
A few days later, Hu Xiaoting learned that the person who saved her turned out to be Princess An, and the more serious son turned out to be the current Prince An.
Hu Xiaoting was shocked, what a big official the prince must be, in a place like them, where the emperor is far away, what a distant ranking the titles of prince and princess are.
She didn't expect that she would become a person from the Wangfu in such a daze, I remember that the storyteller used to say that "the four officials in front of the prime minister's door", so wouldn't her status as a girl in the palace be very high.
Moreover, she also heard Shuyu say that her luck was really good, because Shuyu herself was a third-class girl in front of the princess, and since the princess asked her to follow Shuyu, it was arranged for her to be a third-class girl.
Don't look at it as just a third-class girl, it's not someone else's girl, it's a third-class girl in front of the princess, it's a decent job, how many people can't squeeze a good errand if they sharpen their heads, let her study hard, don't let down the princess's kindness.
Hu Xiaoting, clenched her fists, and made up her mind that she must study hard and work hard to report the princess's life-saving grace-
Quanzhou is not far from Yangcheng, the big ship departed from Quanzhou, after two days and two nights, and finally arrived at the destination Yangcheng at this time in the early morning of the third day.
At this time, it is spring nong. The boundary of Yangcheng is already a hot place all year round, and at this time there is already some temperature in the early summer of the capital.
Early in the morning, Ruoyun stood in front of the window and looked out against the railing, and saw the lush vitality of Yangcheng in the distance, and his heart was also happy.
Here their husband and wife are going to have a new experience, not as incognito as Suzhou, nor as undercurrent as the capital, she knows that Chu Ziheng is going to do something here in a big way-
Today, the ground in Yangcheng is a little unstable, and the people in the city see the officials of various high-level mansions early in the morning. There are also some big families who have been in the city for many years and opened their doors early.
The heads of the houses rode early in the morning, and rode in chariots. One by one, they hurried to the docks.
Soon after the male masters of each family went out, the female owners of each family were also neatly dressed and luxuriously dressed. Sitting in the family car. Go to the back house of the government office.
Yangcheng is the capital city of Guangdong. Therefore, the capital of Guangdong and the prefect of Yangcheng are located in this Yangcheng.
Although Chu Ziheng came to Yangcheng to take office, it was naturally the prefect of Guangdong who had the final say on such matters as greeting King An.
This Yangcheng local officials as early as a few days ago. I got the news that King An and Princess An were almost there.
In the past few days, someone has been passing on the news, and when King An's big ship has reached a section, there is news to report the direction.
No, I got the news yesterday and knew that King An and his entourage were going to arrive early this morning, so the prefect of Guangdong convened all the officials and gentry of Guangdong to discuss the matter of welcoming the governor of the sea, Prince An.
Early this morning, the sky was bright, and these people who had heads and faces in Yuezhou came out of their homes, and some of them came from other places just to see King An.
And the wives of each family also packed up early, came out of the house, gathered in the back house of the Taoist government, and followed the prefect's wife to wait for Princess An to summon her.
Therefore, after Chu Ziheng and Ruoyun got off the big boat, they saw the somewhat old prefect of Yuezhou with a group of officials and gentry with heads and faces bowing down on the dock to greet them, and they were all black.
Chu Ziheng didn't support it either, and hurriedly stepped forward to help the elderly prefect with his own hands, and then asked the entourage to quickly help the people who had changed the support, and asked those who should be invited to get up.
The prefect of Yuezhou, surnamed Ye, has a single name with a heavy character, and has served in Yuezhou for more than ten years, even when he has been the prefect for six years, and is now in his fifties, which can be said to have great control over Yuezhou.
In previous years, when he went to Beijing to report on his work, he also saw Chu Ziheng, but although he was the prefect in Yuezhou, he had the highest number of positions in Yuezhou, and he was regarded as a feudal official, but when he arrived in the capital, he was nothing, so he had not had such close contact with Chu Ziheng.
At this time, seeing that King An was not anxious, but came to help him up in person, he couldn't help but feel relieved, and pulled King An to say a good word of welcome.
Chu Ziheng was not impatient, smiled and nodded and listened one by one, answering a few sentences from time to time, just like a junior talking to an elder, everyone in the officialdom in Guangdong couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they saw this, it seems that this King An is not as cold and difficult to get along with as rumored!
Naturally, today is the first day of meeting, and everyone knows what King An is here for, so everyone has their own hearts and minds, and they all look at King An carefully, and carefully compare them with the rumors they heard, as if they have found some clues that are beneficial to their own family.
However, at this time, no one showed any expressions, and their faces were all respectfully welcomed, so there was a harmonious and peaceful atmosphere on this dock that had been blocked.
The prefect Ye Zhong invited King An and Princess An to live in his mansion, but Chu Ziheng refused.
In fact, Ye Zhong said that, as early as a month ago, he already knew that the shopkeeper of this leisurely residence in Yangcheng had set up a big mansion in this Yangcheng.
Then, one after another, craftsmen from the capital will move in and begin to tidy up and renovate the house.
Leisurely living is Princess An's industry, which is already an undeclared secret in the capital, although most of the people in Guangdong do not know, but he Ye Chong has been to the capital very clearly, at that time he had already guessed that this should be the mansion purchased by Leisurely House for King An and Princess An.
He is also a convenient door, from time to time people pay attention to the progress of the house, not long ago the house has been renovated, the leisurely shopkeeper also bought some rough people to work in the house.
Therefore, he knew that King An and Princess An would not live in his mansion. He brought it up according to the routine and politely, but when Chu Ziheng refused, he stopped mentioning it.
Anyway, the mansion of the government is not small, but their family has a large population, if the prince and the princess are allowed to move in, it will inevitably be cramped, and then both families will be wronged, and now since King An and Princess An have chosen another place to live, he is also quiet.
Seeing that King An had rejected his request, he asked again. At noon, a banquet was held on the side of the Pearl River to entertain King An and his party. Washed for the prince to catch the wind.
Chu Ziheng pondered for a while, and then said: "I have been waiting for the boat for a long time, and I just arrived today, and I am in the dust." Your Excellency allowed us to recuperate for two days. Ziheng personally set up a banquet when he turned around. How about entertaining adults! ”
Ye Chong saw that Chu Ziheng said this, and it was not easy to continue to persuade him, so he took all the officials to send King An and Princess An away.
At this time, in fact, Ruoyun had already sat in the carriage that had been prepared a long time ago and waited. Chu Ziheng saw the local officials, and it was inconvenient for her, a female dependent, to accompany her.
Seeing that Chu Ziheng finished cooking and got into the car, the carriage started.
The carriage was sent by the shopkeeper of Yangcheng's leisurely house, and he didn't need to worry about it, so he automatically pulled them to the prepared house.
The car did not stop at the door, but went directly into the house, and when it arrived at the door, it was changed to a warm car, and someone carried it into the inner house.
Sitting in a warm sedan chair, Ruoyun saw that although this house was not as big as the palace in the capital, the area should not be small, and there was about a five-entry appearance, and it was enough to live with them.
Because the yard has been renovated and renovated, it looks new everywhere, and these craftsmen are all from Beijing, knowing Ruoyun's preferences, the yard layout is elegant, and it does not lose its charm, Ruoyun couldn't help but nodded.
In this short period of time, it is good to be able to buy a house like this.
Because this time there were only Ruoyun and Chu Ziheng plus the three masters of Tian'er (Wang Haohan usually lived in the barracks), so Ruoyun lived in the house of Erjin.
These two-entry houses are generally for the elders to live in, and they now have no elders to follow, so they are naturally the largest, and it is convenient to live in the second-in.
The first entry was for Chu Ziheng to entertain guests, and Tian'er was also placed in the cross-courtyard of the first entry.
Entering the second entrance, Ruoyun saw that the house had been cleaned spotlessly, and the main house was tall, spacious, and translucent, and the interior was also very exquisite.
Entering the inner bedroom, Ruoyun first went to see a small room in the innermost part of the bedroom.
It was for this small house that Ruoyun sent a craftsman from the capital to renovate the house, because this was the bathroom she made in the palace of the capital.
Since she had a bathroom, she couldn't bear the days without a toilet, thinking that it should be a long time to live in this Yangcheng, but she refused to wronged herself, so she sent a craftsman to install a bathroom in this house.
Now open it and take a look, the effect is still good, although it is not as delicate and meticulous as in Beijing, but in the end it is a short time, and she is very satisfied with being able to do this.
After Ruoyun looked at the house, as soon as she sat down, the girls over there had already begun to pack up their things.
The tea should be made for tea, the water for pouring, the original things in this room should be collected, and the luggage brought by oneself should be taken out.
Don't look at the original things in this house, they are all new, and they have been carefully selected, but the princess's girl has her own rules, and she can't give her master anything outside casually.
It was the small cotton cushion on the chair where Ruoyun was sitting now, which was also laid out by Holly just now, and the tea in his hand, from the teacup to the tea leaves inside, was something that Dong Cheng took and brought himself.
The original things in this room, before careful inspection, dare not be used by the master at all, this is the rule, although Xiaoting who just came does not understand these rules, but when she watches others do it, she remembers them one by one.
Ruoyun sat and watched the subordinates pack up their things, and from time to time they had to pass on people to Chu Ziheng's study in front of them, as well as Tian'er's yard to explain some precautions, and there were also subordinates there who were tidying up the house.
As he was talking, he saw someone come in and report that the wives of the officials in the yamen had handed over a post asking the princess to decide.
Ruoyun took the post and looked at it, it was the invitation post headed by Ye Chong's wife Liu, and couldn't help but groan, at this time, Chu Ziheng had not met with the local officials, and it was really not the time for her to meet with the ladies.
However, it is also a kind of courtesy for people to hand over posts, and their husbands and wives have just arrived, so it is best not to give people an impression of arrogance, so they said: "Go and tell the people who came, just say that I am a little uncomfortable after a long journey, and when I am better, I will invite the ladies to come to the house for a gathering!"
