Chapter 44: A New Home

It can only be arranged like this first.

When he arrived at the mansion in the west of the city, Zhen Hanxiao got out of the carriage first, and then stretched out his hand to help Lou Zheng down.

The weather in early winter is actually not very cold, but Lou Zheng's hands are as cold as ice.

Zhen Hanxiao held her little hand and led her into the courtyard gate, and gave an order to the disabled children standing on both sides, and soon, the disabled children sent a small cloisonnΓ© copper hand stove.

Zhen Hanxiao stuffed the hot hand stove into Lou Zheng's hand.

Lou Zheng glanced at him, and obediently followed behind him with a handhapp.

This house has only three entrances, although it is not big, but the layout is exquisite, and the pavilion and Champs are very beautiful.

It is indeed a livable house, and the location of this house is also expensive, surrounded by wealthy families in Songjiang City, presumably the house will not be cheap.

At this time, there are already small servants in the courtyard of the house who are cleaning in the morning, and the rooms in the backyard are also smoking, so it doesn't look like an uninhabited house before.

She and Zhen Hanxiao came back at this time, as if they had just returned home after a long time.

As soon as the two entered the flower hall in the front yard, an old butler with a white beard greeted them.

The old housekeeper's surname is Yu, slightly chubby, and when he laughs, his eyes narrowed into a slit.

He bowed slightly and saluted Zhen Hanxiao and Lou Zheng, "Young master and young grandmother are back, the old slave has already cleaned up the room in the backyard, young master and young grandmother, do you want to go and see it now?" ”

Lou Zheng didn't expect the housekeeper to change his words so quickly, and suddenly, his face turned red.

Steward Yu used to be the shopkeeper in Zhen Hanxiao's shop, but when he got older, Zhen Hanxiao asked him to retire for the elderly. His wife was much older than he was. After getting married, he didn't leave him a son and a half daughter, and he fell ill.

Steward Yu didn't marry again, so he reached such an age.

He can be regarded as watching Zhen Hanxiao come step by step over the years for so many years, and he is actually closer to him than the Zhen family.

The lady and the eldest master seemed to have only one own son, the second young master, and never cared about the eldest young master, and even forced the eldest young master to marry a woman of nearly forty for the marriage between the second young master and the county Cheng family.

Steward Niangyu on Wednesday saw that if the eldest young master really married her, I am afraid that she would not even be able to have children in the future.

Fortunately, the eldest young master took advantage of the early time to leave the back road, and now he has not only left the Zhen family, but also married a beautiful and intelligent little girl to enter the door. He was happy for the eldest young master in his heart.

Zhen Hanxiao's complexion remained unchanged. In fact, there was already a smile in his eyes, obviously very satisfied with Steward Yu's name.

"I'm tired of Uncle Yu leading the way."

There is a small garden between the front yard and the back yard, and although it is early winter, there are still many chrysanthemums in the yard that have not completely withered. There are also some evergreen trees along the trail. The landscape is not bleak.

Walk through a nine-curved corridor. When I arrived at the backyard, incense was lit in the east wing, and the house had not been inhabited for a long time. Even if you scrub it well, it will still smell a little musty.

Pushing open the door, the layout inside was beyond Lou Zheng's expectations, there were not many expensive furnishings, but simple and frugal. It's a little inconsistent with the low-key luxury of the whole house.

Steward Yu seemed to notice the strangeness in Lou Zheng's eyes, and explained with a smile, "This room was lived in by the eldest young master before, and the old slave didn't let his subordinates change it, but cleaned it slightly. ”

Lou Zheng saw at a glance the high bookshelves on both sides of the outer study, and the bookshelves on both sides were almost full of books, and some of them couldn't be put down, so they were directly piled into the wooden cabinet next to them.

Lou Zheng was a little surprised, "Zhen Hanxiao, have you seen all of this?" ”

I thought Zhen Dashao was just a businessman, but I didn't expect to read so many books.

Zhen Hanxiao smiled and didn't deny it, "Tell me what book you want to read in the future, as long as you report the title of the book here, I can find it in a moment." ”

Lou Zheng rolled his eyes, just when he was joking, counting the four or five large wooden boxes next to it, there were at least thousands of books in this study, even if he had a good memory, it was impossible to remember the location of each book.

Seeing that the eldest young master and the eldest young grandmother were close to each other, the crow's feet in the corners of Steward Yu's eyes became deeper because of the smile.

"The eldest young master, the old slave in the young grandmother's room is arranged next door."

Although Zhen Hanxiao and Lou Zheng have passed the Geng post, the wedding date has not yet been decided, even if they can live in one room, they have to do it on the surface.

Steward Yu hopes that the two will live together as soon as possible, so that soon there will be one more young lady in the house.

Butler Yu is able to do things, and Lou Zheng's bedroom is very comfortable for him.

Zhen Hanxiao asked Steward Yu to go to the room to deliver the morning food, and he took Lou Zheng to see her room.

Next to the bed in the inner room is a dresser, and the dresser's box is full of women's jewelry, although most of them are not expensive, but they are all new styles of Matsue Castle women.

Zhen Hanxiao walked to the wardrobe, opened the wardrobe, picked and chosen, and finally chose a light pink skirt with a lilac half-arm, "Ah Zheng, come, change it first." ”

Lou Zheng glanced at it and found that the entire wardrobe was full.

couldn't help but be stunned, "Why are there so many clothes?" ”

Zhen Hanxiao closed the wardrobe, "Yesterday, I temporarily asked someone to go to the garment store to buy some of the clothes that may not be suitable. ”

Lou Zheng finally knew what he was doing on the trip he went out yesterday.

Just bought such a cabinet casually, isn't it too loser.

Zhen Hanxiao sat outside, waiting for Lou Zheng to change into women's clothes.

The clothes and ornaments of the Great Song Dynasty are not much different from the Dawu Dynasty where Lou Zheng lived, Lou Zheng quickly took care of himself, and pulled himself a simple girl's hanging bun, and chose a beaded flower made of white pearls on the dressing table to fix the bun.

When the curtain of the inner room was opened by a slender plain hand, Zhen Hanxiao was stunned.

The warm morning light fell on Lou Zheng through the open door, she was wearing a plain long dress, reflecting her delicate facial features, the skin on her face was as white as jade in the sun, her head was simply tied in a bun, and she only wore a beaded flower, and her long hair was scattered behind her, soft and shiny.

Especially those clear eyes, like an intoxicating spring.

Lou Zheng saw him lose his mind and stroked his dress, "What's wrong?" ”

Zhen Hanxiao laughed at this time, "It's nothing, but I suddenly feel that my luck is too good, it must be that I did something good in my last life and picked up such a good baby." ”

Lou Zheng looked at him helplessly, "Let's call the embroiderer tomorrow, the clothes are a little big." Especially the small clothes inside, all of them are bigger, Lou Zheng secretly added in his heart.

As soon as winter begins, the New Year is not far away.

At this time, men who were doing business or working outside were preparing to go home for the New Year, and most of the carriages on the official road were returning to their hometowns, but there was a team of carriages going in the wrong direction.

There were four or five carriages in this line, and there were two groups of officers and soldiers behind the carriages.

It's immense, and it's very eye-catching.

Passers-by were discussing the identities of the people in the small convoy. (To be continued......)

PS: Zhen Hanxiao, you bought my daughter's little dress one size bigger, what do you mean?
