Chapter 615: Relocation
Yu Shu got a mansion on Baochang Street from Liu Tan after the March Shuangyang meeting, built it for three months, and finally completed the well-being she expected at the end of July.
Four into the courtyard, the gate faces south, originally located in the middle of the two small gardens in the east and west of the central axis, connected by a verandah, overlooking from the air, showing the trend of yin and yang fish jumping, full of feng shui.
The flowers and trees in the garden, in response to the season, are all transplanted from the Ministry of Industry, the pond diverts water, drains the old and flows the new, and the groups of koi fish are salvaged from the center of the Yushi Lake. Pei Jing didn't know how to smuggle a group of birds and beasts, and added them to her in the garden, including mandarin ducks and white ducks, lark thrushes, sika deer, squirrels, and monkeys, and the rarest was a pair of white cranes.
The furniture in the house, most of them are ready-made, but there are also a few rare top grades, such as the yellow rosewood big four-season bed in Yu Shu's bedroom, the four pillars are engraved with the scenery of spring, summer, autumn and winter, pasted with gold and jade, carved with spring flowers and autumn moon, summer and winter snow, along the four corners of the bed hanging hollow lampshade, bird's nest shape, light the candle at night, lie on your back in the tent, open your eyes is the alternation of the four seasons, it seems to be true and like a fantasy such a beautiful day.
This big bed was originally stored in the silver warehouse of Nanlin Timber Store, not for sale, and was sent to Yu Shu by Xue Rui with a note, and Yu Shu liked it when she saw it, so she placed it directly in her room and used it as a bed.
After the completion of the mansion, the silver went away like flowing water, Yu Shu was distressed, but after wandering around, he felt that it was worth the money, and it was really good to spend the money.
Yu Shu took Zhao Hui and He Fangzhi to see the house first, and discussed with them. Then she started to pack her belongings and luggage, and Mrs. He was a little reluctant to follow her son and daughter-in-law to live with Yu Shu, a "foreign surname", but she didn't get rid of the mustard when she came to Baochang Street in person.
Zhao Hui privately persuaded the old lady: "Xiaoyu is so promising, it is the blessing of our whole family, but her sister and brother are lonely, and her mother is out of tune, so she is a real relative to our family, mother, you just need to treat her as a granddaughter, what can't you do." Again. Xiaochuan has a sister and brother like Xiaoyu Xiaoxiu, wouldn't it be good to live together when he was a child? ”
Mrs. He is enlightened in the end, not for anything else. It is also necessary to think about He Xiaochuan, the only seedling of the He family. This was relieved to be arranged by them
Yu Shu asked Jingchen for leave in advance. At the end of the month, I didn't go to Si Tianjian and got up early in the morning. I was busy carrying my belongings and luggage.
The furniture on Baochang Street was complete, and the family began to pack clothes and belongings a few days earlier, packed wooden boxes, rented three carriages in one go, and was escorted by Lu Hong and Xu Qing to move to the new house.
Not to mention that it is overkill to take the seventh-class guards to keep an eye on the move, just the box of money that Yu Shuxiao has saved in the past half a year, real money, and tens of thousands of taels.
Three carriages, back and forth three times, before the things were transported, half of them were the gifts that Yu Shu received in the past two months, all kinds of gifts, some of which were not dismantled, and then there were baskets full of famous posters to visit.
Receiving gifts is boring, Yu Shu is not the first time to experience it, the last time was when she showed a hand of thaumaturgy at the Furong Gentleman's Banquet, and this time it was because she was in the limelight at the land and water conference.
Yu Shu followed and sat in the carriage that was carried at the end of the year, sitting cross-legged in the car, flipping through a basket of posts at her feet, the time after the Furong gentleman's banquet, she took the time to sort out the list, but this time because Si Tianjian took office, she didn't have time to sort it out, so it was a mess, and she was even more reluctant to take a closer look.
Yu Shuzhi said that she always turns a blind eye like this, only accepts gifts and ignores people, it is not a way, she still has to classify these posts, what should be returned, what should be invited, what should be thrown, it is best to find someone to do it, so as not to delay her business.
Now there is only a maid by her side, Kidney Bean, who can't read big characters, and she can't be counted on, so she has to go to the courtyard as soon as possible, and pick a few capable subordinates to buy it back.
Yu Shu asked Xue Rui for advice, it is not easy to set up a door on his own, with the money in the house, you can't worry about it, the most important thing is to choose and buy servants, divided into men and women, inner courtyard and outer courtyard, each performing its own duties, so that it will not be messy.
According to the population of her family, and the size of the house, she has to get at least two gatehouses, two cleaning servants in the outer courtyard, two maids serving tea and pouring water, and then the inner courtyard, Zhao Hui and his wife have a courtyard, guarding the door, cleaning, rough, and waiting, not to mention four people, and Mrs. He has a courtyard, and there are also four people.
Add to that the people in the kitchen, the coachman, and the gardener, all of which are indispensable, and it takes twenty or thirty servants in this mansion to summon them, not counting the number of nurses
It took three days for a large family to clean up, and during this period, Yu Shu ran to the courtyard twice, smashed a few hundred taels of silver, bought more than a dozen people in one go, and stuffed them into the new house.
To say that those rough servants don't need to go to the courtyard to choose, just find a tooth woman, a deed of sale is only three or five taels of silver, but Yu Shu would rather spend a few more money and go to the courtyard to buy someone who "knows the roots".
She spent a few hundred taels of silver not unjustly, and when the steward of the People's House saw her reveal her identity, he was too late to stammer, where did he dare to treat her as a wronged boss.
Yu Shu did not go alone, but took Zhao Hui with her, and when it came to housework, Yu Shu was ashamed to admit that she was no better than Zhao Hui, who had been a merchant lady and was now a wife and mother.
Sitting in the Tianzi room, there were a few teenage girls standing in a row in front of them, on the chair, Zhao Hui turned his head sideways and whispered to Yu Shu: "This is to pick the house to serve, you have to be smart, the most important thing is your duty, whether it is good or bad at this time, you can't tell it at this time, first pick the one that you look at, and then raise your head after coming in, the second one on the left and the first one on the right is not good." ”
This is to choose a maid for Yu Shu to be a companion with kidney beans, she is a female official of the fifth grade, according to the example of everyone's household, the first two maids are shabby, that is, Xin Liu, the daughter of the family, in front of the house and behind the house, there are four or five slaves and maids.
Yu Shu still has the independent thoughts of modern people in her bones, and she doesn't like others to intervene in her private territory, but she can't do it, she has an official body, and there are many chores on her body that need to be taken care of.
After looking around, Yu Shu asked the two girls who were more pleasing to the eye if they were literate, and the two of them scrambled to answer yes, so she asked them to write a few words each, and took it in her hand, seeing the dog crawling font that was worse than her beginner, frowned, and turned her head to the steward waiting on the side and said:
"I'll ask you to find me a few people who can read, and you'll let me see these indiscriminate people?"
The steward heard her dissatisfaction, and quickly smiled, explaining: "The female adult doesn't know anything, there are few literate maids, all here." It's not that the villain is perfunctory to you, if you really want to be a slave who can write and draw, it's not just the price of a maid who sells it. ”
Those are all women who are rich and pay a high price to buy back to have fun.
"I want you to find it, you just have to find it for me, are you afraid that I won't be able to give me the silver?" She mainly wanted to find someone to be her personal secretary, and the requirements were naturally high.
"The lady laughed, hehe," the steward laughed dryly, "then you wait, the villain will go back as soon as he goes." ”
As he spoke, he took a group of girls out of the city, and some of them saw that they couldn't keep up with Yu Shu, a good master, their eyes showed disappointment, and they walked to the door, and couldn't help but look back at Yu Shu pitifully.
Yu Shu came into contact with these eyes, and did not relent, she went to the hospital to buy people to do things, not to save the suffering. (To be continued......)
