When Ah Wu followed Cui into the courtyard where he had lived for a few years, he found that the courtyard looked extremely cramped. Every inch of land in the capital is expensive, and those who can afford to buy three courtyards in this area are extremely wealthy.

It's just that compared to the gardens in the south of the Yangtze River, the remote and narrow courtyard of Sanfang will inevitably make Cui's and Ah Wu a little unaccustomed, and even the purple fan and purple pendant are a little unaccustomed.

The two second-class girls who followed behind Ah Wu from Jiangnan were still chattering all the way, I don't know how magnificent the Mansion of the Duke of Dao should be, but now that I have really entered the mansion, I know that the mansion of the general officials is more spacious than this.

When he was in Jiangnan, Cui's backyard was the only one, and the big girls around Ah Wu were all promoted to the first class, and the purple fan and purple pendant became the first-class girls, with a monthly salary of one or two silvers, and I only hoped that they would serve Ah Wu more dedicatedly. Cui's bought two more girls locally for Ah Wu as second-class, and other rough girls and mother-in-law were added.

There are many people brought back from Jiangnan by Cui's family, and there are people arranged by the eldest lady in the courtyard, and the courtyard of the third room is even more cramped. Fortunately, the big girls Si Qi and Si Qin around Cui's side have been trained properly, and the lively yard like a vegetable market has been cleaned up tightly and organized in just half a moment, and more than a dozen people have gone back and forth, tending to i, without making a sound.

After this play, those people who were arranged by the eldest lady who originally looked down on the three rooms began to drum in their hearts, and their movements also lightened. There are also those who are knowledgeable, just looking at this side, you can know that the three rooms of Ludao are very different from before, and this rule is no worse than those who are famous for their rules in the capital.

This move knocked on the mountain and shook the tiger, coupled with the first move of Siqi to kill the chicken and set an example for the monkey, which immediately played a great role.

Ah Wu was served by the purple fan and the purple pendant, and was already sitting in front of the south window couch in his room, drinking hot tea. The girls who came and went around and were busy sorting out their luggage and packing up their clothes, doing things silently, not daring to affect Ah Wu who was buried in contemplation.

Ah Wu was very satisfied with such a scene, and even a little proud.

Jiangnan has been prosperous since ancient times, and the families there are not as noble as the capital, and the food, clothing, use, and walking are not as exquisite as those in Beijing. To put it mildly, Ah Wu went to Jiangnan himself, only to know that the county lord of Kangning was also a dirt bun for a while when he arrived in Jiangnan.

These people who have come back from the south of the Yangtze River have their own abilities, not to mention one in a hundred, at least one in ten talents. The big girls around Cui's back then, Si Shu and Si Hua, are all old, and Ah Wu sees that they have no ability, so they have to be as loyal, so they persuade Cui's good life to send them away, or marry outside, or marry the steward, they have a good place to go.

Si Qi and Si Qin are the girls that Ah Wu bought for Cui's in Jiangnan, she knew that Cui's would not regulate people, so she specially spent a lot of money, and invited a powerful grandmother to come back, specializing in J□ J Siqi, Siqin and purple fan, and purple pendant.

The rest are second-class girls and rough girls, and the origin of the mother-in-law is also extraordinary. Jiangnan today's Ya Po business has been done very grand, there are places dedicated to noble people J□J girls, mothers-in-law, such people are easy to use and comfortable.

Si Qi and Si Qin also came out of such a courtyard, and they invited Mama J □ J, just because they are big girls, and they must be extra responsible and capable.

Therefore, other people looked at the courtyard of Sanfang, and only felt that those people from Jiangnan were powerful, but they didn't know that the cost of buying these dozen people was already a lot of money.

Today, Ah Wu feels that the money is well spent.

Purple Fan and Purple Pendant served Ah Wu to change into soft half-worn clothes, scattered her hair, braided her hair, changed into a pair of pink pendant bead embroidered golden lotus soft-soled shoes, and quietly called Tong Guan to pinch Ah Wu's legs, and then quietly retreated out of the house to get something.

Purple Fan and Purple Fall returned to their house, and two little girls immediately came up with a basin of water.

"Sister has worked hard, there is a rose fragrance dripping in this water, and my sister washes her face." The little girl Cuiling twisted the handkerchief and handed it to the purple fan.

Over there, Zi Shen had already sat down, and the little girl Cuilong was also wiping her hands with a handkerchief, but the pot was not dripping with rose dew, but jasmine dew.

"Sister, this courtyard is also a little narrower, and the sisters have to be squeezed into one room by two people, this is still the Guogong Mansion." Cui Ling is only ten years old this year, relying on her young age, and the purple fan is a short guard, so she speaks a little unobtrusively.

"What a mouth. This is the capital, and it's good to have a place to stand. Don't be a little eyeless, those big businessmen in the south of the Yangtze River that you are used to, when they arrive in the capital, they don't dare to buy such a house even if they have money. Zi Fan took a sip of the tea handed over by Cuiling, "Sharp mouth and sharp teeth, chewing any tongue, not afraid of the wind flashing your tongue, go to the palace grandmother to get twenty hand boards, just say what I said." ”

Cui Ling knew that the purple fan was angry, and she was in trouble, even if it was much bigger than this, she would not be hit by ten hand boards, so she didn't dare to beg for mercy, let alone look at the purple pendant and Cuilong on the side, knelt on the ground with a "bang", and said, "Sister, Cui Ling knows that the road is wrong." After saying this, he dared to get up, and went out of the door to receive the punishment.

This palace grandmother is the grandmother who Ah Wu invited in Jiangnan to be in charge of the j□j girl, and now she has been with Ah Wu for a long time, specializing in the punishment of her yard.

"Cui Ling, you're in trouble again, how many hands will you get this time?" A thirteen or fourteen-year-old pretty girl came out of Mama Gong's house, and looking at Cui Ling's wilting appearance, she knew that she had been punished by the purple fan again.

"Twenty."

Gong Yun listened, his eyebrows curled, "What kind of trouble did you make this time, provoking your Sister Purple Fan to punish you like this?" ”

Cui Ling opened her mouth and was about to say, but Gong Yun hurriedly stopped her, "Go to the house, Mama is also there." ”

Cui Ling heard that Gong Mama was also there, and her legs were half weak, but she didn't dare to squeak, so she obediently followed Gong Yun in, and after a long training, she left the house. The palms of his hands were swollen, and when he saw Cuiling's mother and girl, he only sympathized with her, and some sent ointment, but everyone dared to squeak and ask the reason.

In this purple fan and purple pendant house, Cui Ling was punished, and Zi Shen also said to Cui Long: "It's different from Jiangnan here, don't make trouble for your wife and girl, be careful with your tongue, otherwise it won't be possible with twenty hands." ”

Cuilong nodded hurriedly.

Although the atmosphere was very depressed for a while, Cuilong had been waiting for Zishen for so long after all, and she was also familiar with Zifan, and after a while, the child's nature inevitably couldn't help but speak: "Sister, what's wrong with the girl these days, I look at her face from a distance and it doesn't seem to be very good?" ”

Although Cuilong is also a girl who serves under Ah Wu, the rules in Ah Wu's house are extremely strict, and each has its own messenger, and it is not allowed to run on this errand and serve that errand, especially in front of the master, and it is never allowed to go up to catch up with the good people, so as to prevent the jealousy of the people below, how many defeats are on this.

Therefore, Cuilong is not serving Ah Wu closely, so she is not allowed to go to her to dangle, even if there is no one around the master to serve at this time, if the master does not call her, she is not allowed to come forward.

So Cuilong could only look at Ah Wu from a distance, and she was concerned in her heart, but she only dared to ask behind her back.

Cuilong didn't know what Ah Wu was thinking, but Purple Fan and Purple Pendant knew Lu Dao, and the two of them looked at each other and didn't speak. When this girl is older, there are many things to worry about.

At this moment, even Zifan and Zishen began to miss Jiangnan, how comfortable the days were at that time, that is, Cuiling and Cuilong, the two little girls said that nothing would be in the way if they were wrong, but now they can't go back to the Guogong Mansion.

The purple fan and the purple pendant are hanging the same word in their hearts and Ah Wu's heart at this moment, "marry".

Ah Wu is thirteen years old, and it is the time when the daughter's family should start saying goodbye.

When a noble girl marries, the man's side has to be urged several times, and the mother's family must stay again and again, because the girl is pampered and noble when she is at home, and she can marry into someone else's house, that is, to be a daughter-in-law, to serve her in-laws, to love her younger siblings, and to serve her husband. Therefore, her mother's family and herself have to strive to stay at home for a few more days, and sit down with a set of rules that are true or false, and when they get married, they will be fifteen or sixteen years old.

There is a century-old family or scholarly family, the family background is noble, and it attaches great importance to the upbringing of women, and the girls in the family are not allowed to marry if they are not eighteen years old, saying that they must stay in front of their mothers to learn the rules before they are allowed to marry, but in fact, they are reluctant to marry their daughters.

The more so, the more respectable someone's daughter is.

However, the marriage is late, but the engagement should be early, and after the time, others should wonder if there is something wrong with the girl in this family.

When he was in Jiangsu, for the sake of Rong Sanye's face, there were also many wives and wives who wanted to marry Rong Mansion, but after Cui and Rong Sanye discussed, they did not agree.

Because Rong Sanye knew that he was going back to Beijing, he was afraid that Ah Wu would marry in Jiangnan and be far away from home, and if he was angry in the future, he would not even have a place to talk and complain. Cui's is even more reluctant, and now in addition to Rong Sanye, Ah Wu is her other backbone, and she can't leave.

What's more, when Ah Wu grows up and looks like that again, Rong Sanye is even more worried and worried, this family matter has not been decided for a long time, and there is not even a person in mind. Rong Sanye and his wife discussed, and they could only go back to Beijing to make plans.

But what is the situation in the Anguo Mansion, Rong Sanye knows best, the sooner Ah Wu's family affairs are decided, the better, otherwise it will change later, and beware of becoming a disaster.
