The next morning, the mother and son of the Xu family went to this house together. Steward Zhao also followed.

After entering the house and taking a turn, the mother and son were all satisfied. Zou likes that this house is spacious and bright, Xu Zheng likes the study, but Xu Jinyu's favorite is the garden behind the inner house.

The household department is in charge of the country's tax money and grain, and the household officials also have the most oil and water among the six departments. A small principal's family resources are also very rich.

The garden is not big, far less than the Weining Marquis Mansion or the Anguo Mansion. However, the trim is very exquisite, quite some of the elegant artistic conception of Jiangnan gardens. Rockery and flowing water, nine-song corridor, exotic flowers and plants, and the two-storey pavilion built in the garden is the finishing touch.

Eight thousand taels to buy this house is really cost-effective. Just looking at this garden, it's worth the price.

Xu Zheng immediately made a decision to buy this yard.

Today, pay a part of the deposit money first, go to the official office in a few days to go through the procedures for changing the household registration, and then pay all the silver. In the future, the Xu family will also settle down in the capital.

After paying the fixed money, the mother and son were in a good mood, and found a well-known restaurant for lunch, and then returned to the Zou family's old house.

As soon as he stepped into the gate of the Zou family, he saw the porter hurriedly coming forward to report: "The third lady of the Weining Hou Mansion sent someone to deliver a letter, saying that there is an urgent matter, please go to the Wei Ning Hou Mansion." ”

What can Ji Yu be in a hurry?

Zou secretly doubted in his heart, and immediately ordered the carriage to go to the Weining Marquis Mansion.

Along the way, Zou inevitably had to suspect a few words: "The Weining Hou Mansion has been calm recently, and Sister Yu suddenly ordered someone to invite us over." I wonder what it will be? ”

Could it be that Wei Ninghou has quietly returned to the capital?

Xu Jinyu's heart flashed with this exciting and exciting thought, and she replied casually: "Calculate the time, my cousin-in-law should also give birth." Cousin Yu specially invited us over, maybe it was for this matter. ”

Zou thought for a while and smiled: "You should be right, nine times out of ten, it is for Xiao Gu's production." ”

Since the mother and son of the Xu family moved out of the Weining Hou Mansion, the movement between them and the Weining Hou Mansion is not frequent, and they only maintain the due contact between relatives.

Every two days, Zhou Yong would secretly order someone to send a message. Therefore, Xu Jinyu is very familiar with the affairs in the Weining Marquis's Mansion.

these months. Gu Caiping raised a baby in the grange, and Xiao Zou also left the Hou Mansion in the name of recuperation. Only Ji Yu and Ji Ze are left in the Weining Hou Mansion of Nuoda. Ji Ze was busy with official business and entertainment, and he didn't have much time to return home. Speaking of which, Ji Yu is alone in the inner house of the Marquis of Weining.

Ji Yu was not smart and clever in the first place, and she had never been in contact with the trivial matters of the inner house, so she was inevitably in a hurry at first. Fortunately, Xiao Zou left a few experienced housekeepers to help the director. It didn't go wrong.

Of course. Compared with the orderly organization of Xiao Zou's time, it is far worse

More than half an hour later, Xu Jinyu and Zou Xu Zheng rushed to the Weining Marquis Mansion.

As expected, Ji Yu really invited the mother and son of the Xu family to come for the sake of Gu Caiping's imminent delivery.

"Auntie, Cousin Jin, I specially invited you over today because I have an important matter to discuss with you."

After these months of training, Ji Yu has obviously matured a lot, and her speech is much more organized: "Sister-in-law is about to give birth." The eldest brother is busy with official business. I don't have time to accompany my sister-in-law. But the sister-in-law can't always be left unaccompanied by her, so. I want to go to the Grange for a few days and wait for my sister-in-law to give birth safely before returning home. As a result, there is no one to take care of the house. ”

"I should have invited the eldest sister and the second sister to come back, but the second sister is six or seven months pregnant, and the eldest sister is the eldest daughter-in-law, so she has to serve her in-laws to take care of the children and her brother-in-law's food and clothing, and she has no time to go home. I think about it, and you are the only ones who can ask for it. ”

It turned out that Ji Yu was planning to go to the Grange to accompany Gu Caiping, and asked Zou and Xu Jinyu to live in the Weining Marquis Mansion for a few days to help take care of the trivial matters of the inner house.

After the Zou family knew that Xiao Zou and Ji Ze had sinister intentions, they no longer wanted to step into the Weining Marquis Mansion for half a step. But Ji Yu made such a sincere request, and she couldn't find any reason to refuse for a while

To say yes or not to agree?

Zou looked at Xu Jinyu and Xu Zheng hesitantly.

Xu Zheng obviously didn't approve of it, and frowned slightly.

Xu Jinyu's reaction was very unexpected, and she responded with a smile: "Relatives should be watching and helping each other, this little thing is nothing, we just promise." ”

Zou and Xu Zheng were secretly surprised in their hearts, but both of them knew Xu Jinyu's temperament very well. Since it is a mouthful, it must have its intentions.

Ji Yu saw Xu Jinyu's cheerful promise, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and thanked with a smile: "Thank you, cousin Jin." ”

"If we want to say thank you, we should say it. Last year, we came to the capital from Lin'an, but we lived in the Hou Mansion for more than half a year, which caused you a lot of trouble! ”

Xu Jinyu pursed her lips and smiled, and her words were soft and pleasant: "Speaking of which, I haven't seen my cousin for a few months, and I've been thinking about it in my heart." Why don't I go to the Grange with you? Just have a mother in the Hou Mansion. ”

Ji Yu didn't doubt him, and smiled happily: "You are willing to go with me, I can't ask for it!" ”

Xu Jinyu had already nodded and agreed, and Zou didn't want to say anything, so he said smoothly: "I can take care of it alone in the house, and the two of you will go to the Grange together, just to be a companion." ”

In the end, only Xu Zheng remained.

Xu Zheng was about to speak, when he heard Xu Jinyu say with a smile: "Big brother has to go to the Hanlin Academy to study every day, so there is no need to run this way." Anyway, you can't help with the affairs of the inner house. ”

For the sake of prudence, it is better for Xu Zheng and Ji Ze to meet less.

Xu Zheng comprehended and immediately echoed: "My sister is right, I won't come." Wait for my cousin-in-law's child to give birth safely, and then come to the door to congratulate. ”

Ji Yu naturally had no objections.

Xu Jinyu pretended to ask casually: "By the way, cousin Yu, have you discussed the matter of going to the Grange to accompany your cousin-in-law?" ”

Ji Ze is ruthless, maybe with the idea of leaving his son to his mother, he is going to do something like Gu Caiping when he gives birth. How can you let Ji Yu go to the Grange to get in the way!

Nine times out of ten, Ji Yu made her own opinion!

Sure enough, I heard Ji Yu say proudly: "I thought about this matter for a few days before deciding, and I haven't had time to tell my eldest brother yet!" I'm going to go quietly and surprise my eldest brother when the time comes! ”

Surprise?

The scare is pretty much the same!

Xu Jinyu bent the corners of her lips and smiled meaningfully: "Cousin Yu is very hardworking, I think the prince will be very 'surprised' when the time comes." ”

When Ji Yu heard these words, she was very proud
