got out of the car from the gate of the second gate, Han Xiao held the hand of Mother Sun, stood at the door and looked at the gate of the second gate courtyard.

This is the mansion to be used by the county order of Hexian County, which has been vacated a few years ago, and the new prefect of Zhilu Dao has taken office, and someone has cleaned up this place early. When passing by the gate of the front gate, Han Xiao was in the car, and he didn't dare to take a closer look, but at this time, he looked at it from the second door, but it was a new paint, and at a glance, it was also bright and clean.

A few mothers-in-law and women greeted them, and knelt down in an uproar, there were not many people, and there were not many of them, some of these were sent by their own families to clean up first, and the rest were local, these people were not ordinary domestic slaves, they were domestic servants, and they came to clean up the mansion in advance.

Han Xiao smiled and called everyone up, and then he held Mother Sun with one hand, followed by Xia He, Xia Chan and several other big girls into the yard.

The snow in the yard is clear, even the roof is not a trace of snow, and there are some hardy trees such as pines and cypresses planted in the yard, and the weather is still cold at this time, these evergreen trees look eye-catching.

The front of this house is next to the county office, and the courtyard behind it is only three entrances. Next to the government is the courtyard where the male guests are entertained, such as the study, and the inner house is behind it.

Fortunately, the population of Bai Anheng's branch is not large, and only this little couple is here, so only these houses can be vacant.

Inside and out, although this courtyard is not small, but it can't be compared with the Baifu and Hanfu in Beijing, not to mention anything else, only this courtyard - there is no garden, it will be much smaller than the two places in Beijing.

No matter what the doors, windows, bricks and tiles are, they are not extremely meticulous. Just a little, looking at it, it seems to be a lot more rough and arrogant.

ordered the people to put the things back in their places, and watched the girls tidy up the furniture in the main room. I've been busy for more than half a day, and everything hasn't been all in order, but I'm just going to clean up the main room and a few other rooms that will be used soon.

"When the kitchen is ready, make some food and boil some hot water." After swaying for these days, his body is about to fall apart, not only Bai Anheng, but Han Yu himself can't wait to soak in hot water for half a day.

The vats have been set up, and the kitchen has been filled with hot water, not only for bathing, but also for soup. The bumps along the way, I'm afraid that the two masters in the family don't have the heart to eat those too many tricks, Hexian is so cold, making some hot pots and soups is serious.

Bai Anheng walked politely with the officials who came to greet him, and it took a long time to get out.

Everyone was obviously very interested in this white lord who had not been in the Hanlin Academy for three years, who was extremely favored by the emperor, and who was also a brother-in-law with the Fifth Highness.

Not to mention being young, this adult is the champion among teenagers, and he is not yet twenty at this time. Just looking at his appearance, it was enough for all the officials who greeted him to be secretly jealous in their hearts - young people are not afraid, at worst, they are young and vigorous. In the affairs of officialdom, he seems to be proficient in oil and slippery and not afraid, after all, he is from the Bai family and is the son of an official eunuch. But if this man has a good skin again...... couldn't help but make everyone sigh again and again.

Shall not all these good things be brought upon him alone, and make people jealous? No matter how careful he was, even God was jealous of him and took him away early......

After a while, he recognized his colleagues, and Bai Anheng sent everyone away, and then he breathed a sigh of relief - he just arrived in Hexian County today, and everyone was not difficult for him, and he even set the reception banquet for three days later, so that he could breathe a sigh and rest.

turned around and called a subordinate: "Ask the second grandmother, can the place prepared for a few gentlemen be cleaned up?" ”

The next person didn't have to go back to ask, and said busily: "The second grandmother just called someone to say, and the string of three small courtyards in the west has been cleaned up. ”

Bai Anheng breathed a sigh of relief, nodded with a smile, turned around and returned outside, and hugged his fists with a few people who came with him: "Neizi has cleaned up a few yards, because he has just arrived in this county, he has to wronged a few gentlemen first." ”

Those people were busy saying that they didn't dare, and the subordinates led them over.

These people, two of them were sent by the General's Mansion that day, although they did not have any real problems, they were secretly in charge of inspecting the military affairs of Hexian County, and they were in charge of the guards of the inner house. In addition, there is a person sent by the five princes, who can be regarded as his own brainstorm. There are two more who were found by themselves and their fathers, saying that they are Qingke, but they are actually considered think-tank people. The other one was stuffed by the emperor, and he was sent here to make the main book, plus to help himself.

Don't look at this one's own family all the way to the west, although there are not many people, but there are many doorways inside. Even if you deal with it yourself, you have to be cautious for three points, and ten points carefully. After all, on one side is the current emperor, and on the other side is the person who may sit on the throne in the future. Fortunately, judging from the communication along the way, these people are all easy to get along with, and they can't see anything wrong.

After a while, the washing pen that went to arrange it turned back: "If you go back to the second master, the six gentlemen will be divided into three courtyards and rest in peace." ”

Bai Anheng nodded: "Tell them, these people have to serve well, and they must not be taken lightly." ”

Xibi nodded hurriedly and replied: "The minions have already ordered, and they are all careful and careful." ”

Bai Anheng knew that he had done things properly, and what he brought out this time were people who had always been careful and careful, so there should be no big mistakes.

was thinking about how to communicate with those eunuchs tomorrow, and the waiter Yan rushed over, and seeing that there were no outsiders, he hurriedly bowed down: "Xia Chan, who was next to Mrs. just now, came over and said, I have prepared a hot pot and sent it to the gentlemen who came with me." When will you go back? The kitchen is already boiling hot water. ”

Bai Anheng raised his eyebrows, his original exhaustion was swept away by these words, and he immediately nodded: "Back!" ”

The warm water almost soaked the fatigue of these days, and Han Xiao was in the bucket, closing his eyes, almost falling asleep comfortably. The water was sprinkled with some flower dew sent by Han Xiaote before leaving Beijing, and she heard her say that it was made of a few steamed flowers of various colors, and some were used in the bath, the taste was fragrant and soothing the spirit, which was much stronger than directly sprinkling flower petals.

Soaking in the water at this time, I really feel that it is much better than the ones I bought in some of the shops I use on weekdays, and the rouge gouache shop that I opened with her in Beijing is not sure what happened......

"Grandma, grandma, wake up, don't fall asleep?"

There was a maid's cry in his ears, and Han Yu woke up in a daze, raised his hand to rub his eyes, but drenched his face: "What time is it?" What about the second master? ”

"The second master has come back, go to the water room over there, grandma has been soaking for almost half an hour, but she can't soak anymore!" Xia He hurriedly persuaded that if he soaked again, people would really have to soak it!

Han Xiao hurriedly got up, came out and got dressed, and asked Xia He Xia Chan to take a towel to wipe his hair, which was half dry, and then got up and went to the main house.

The house had already been burned with charcoal, and the night before everyone arrived in Hexian, someone came to burn the kang. After all, it's still very cold here, and it's okay to burn for a few more days.

Han Xiao just came out here, and Bai Anheng, who also took a bath over there, also came out. Looking at Han Xiao's cheeks, as if she had just put on a good rouge, Bai Anheng walked over with a smile, held her hand, and brought it to the table that had been set up: "Hair hasn't dried yet?" I'll wipe you again after a while, and I'll give you a headache carefully. ”

Han Xiao glanced at him with disgust, loaded him with rice, and handed it to him with a chopstick: "Do you want to drink some soup first?" ”

Seeing her like this, her heart softened a little, Bai Anheng nodded, and saw that the pair of plain white and delicate slender hands filled a small bowl of fragrant soup for herself.

Han Xiao handed the bowl to him, and felt that he not only took the bowl, but also deliberately touched it on his own hand. I looked up and was about to stare at him, but I saw that he had already raised the bowl to his mouth with a dignified appearance—he was really getting better at pretending!

The two sat down and dined opposite each other, and the hall was silent for a while, and then I saw a white head coming out of the curtain in the back room, and Xue Tuan'er walked out of the back room, with her two paws stretched forward very straight, her hind legs propped up, her tail erected, and she stretched out a big lazy waist.

When Han Xiao turned around, he happened to see it, and he couldn't help but put down the dishes and chopsticks and laughed: "It's just sleeping all the way, but now I know that I can get up when I get to the place?" ”

She hesitated for a long time before deciding to take it with her. Don't look at it usually like a child, but after all, it's already a big cat, and it's not afraid of tossing on the road. Another one, Xue Tuan'er is very well-behaved, and she never moves around when she is usually at home. On the way back, I specially let it live in Xia He Xia Cicada's car, and a few little girls followed together, so many eyes, I am not afraid that it will run away for a while.

Again, the mother-in-law at home also said that I don't know what the situation is in the county mansion here, but this kind of mansion is mostly those old houses, and it is difficult to ensure that there is a mouse or something at home. Since there is a cat at home, then simply take it with you, save time and worry, and find a local cat to come back to catch mice.

And so, he brought this little thing to the west.

Hearing Han Yan's voice, Xue Tuan'er, who had stretched her waist enough, stood up, shouted at the two of them twice, walked to the table, and jumped up one by one, and jumped lightly on Bai Anheng's lap.

Bai Anheng smiled and fished out a piece of pork ribs from the bowl, got some meat, put it on a spoon to blow it cool, and handed it to Xue Tuan'er, when he saw this little thing open his mouth to take it, squinting his eyes and comfortably leaning into Bai Anheng's arms and chewing it.

Han Xiao smiled and said, "What has it eaten?" ”

Bai Anheng has long been accustomed to this lazy little guy taking advantage of him in his arms: "It's also tired all the way, give it some good food today." ”

"What do we eat, what does it eat? Where will it be wronged? Shaking his head, Han Yu didn't care about him anymore, just lowered his head and continued to eat his own food.

After the meal, Bai Anheng sat on the kang, let Han Xiao sit in front of him, took a towel to help her get her hair, and said in a low voice: "It's okay today, you don't have anything big here, I'm afraid that you will be able to collect the post in less than three days." I'm afraid that it won't be too idle then. ”

Han Xiao nodded: "I know this, before I went on the road, my mother and my mother told me." I haven't experienced anything, but I understand what it means to be careful. ”
