Chapter 248: Wang Qingyan Arrives
Within a few days, Zhang Manyun took Wang Qingyan to the door, because Wang Qingyan's family rank was higher than Zhang Manyun's, Lin Zhu, for the sake of prudence, specially sent Fu Dou'er, Feng Rongxuan and Haizi to Mu Qiyue's house, and also called it a beautiful name, so that Fu Dou'er and his fourth uncle were more close.
How could Mu Qiyue not understand Lin Zhu's thoughts, it was nothing more than hiding Fu Dou'er, and letting Fu Dou'er stumble him and not let him go to her house casually. However, he didn't want people to know that he was here, so he readily agreed to her request.
In order to relax Manyun's heart, Lin Zhu specially went to the door to greet him in person.
The arrival of the two of them also gave Lin Zhu a glimpse of the pomp and circumstance of everyone's young lady's trip, and for the sake of two people, there were actually four carriages and more than 20 people. However, when you enter the countryside, you have to follow the customs, since there are such rules here, Lin Zhu will not say anything about it, if he really raises objections, maybe he will be said to be uninformed.
"Sister Yun, Sister Yan has worked hard along the way." Lin Zhu stood at the gate with a smile, and after Zhang Manyun and Wang Qingyan got off the carriage, they stepped forward to greet them.
"Sister Zhu, we're really bothering you when we come over this time." Zhang Manyun and Wang Qingyan heard Lin Zhu call the two of them like this, and they knew that she was not dissatisfied with the two of them, and their hearts were relieved, and they also smiled and chatted with her.
"Although the weather is not too hot now, the two sisters have been in the carriage for a long time, so please go to the house and rest for a while." It's already June, and it's getting a little hot. Some coachmen and maids and the like have a little sweat on their foreheads.
"Then we might as well be respectful." Zhang Manyun and Wang Qingyan also gradually let go and entered the gate with Lin Zhu. Walk towards the flower hall.
Lin Zhu had already cleaned up their residence, and in order to facilitate them, he cleaned up the entire backyard and let their master and servant live in, and of course the male servant had other arrangements.
"Sister Yun, Sister Yan, you rest for a while, and at lunchtime, I will ask someone to invite you." After Lin Zhu settled them, he left. Zhang Manyun is better. has lived in this kind of country yard, but it is the first time for Wang Qingyan, there are always some things that they are not used to, so it is better to let them deal with it themselves.
This time, Zhang Manyun and Wang Qingyan came over. The family was afraid that they would be inconvenient in the countryside. I'm afraid of being wronged. Specially arranged for some more waiters to follow, each of whom was two personal maids and a nurturing mother. Two second-class maids, two rough maids and a mother-in-law. Huhulala all lived in the backyard, but fortunately, there were many houses, so that there were not five or six people living in one room.
"Miss, although this is the countryside, it doesn't look too shabby." The eldest girl Chunwen looked at the room while helping Wang Qingyan change her clothes.
"Sister Chunwen is right, Miss, you look at this wardrobe and this dresser very strangely, but it is very convenient to use." Xia Qing, another personal maid, said while directing the other maids to sort out their young lady's clothes.
Hearing her mention this, everyone carefully looked at the furnishings in the house.
Although the furniture in the room may not be made of particularly precious wood, the bed, wardrobe, table, and chair are so novel and beautifully combined.
The furniture prepared by Lin Zhu, in fact, is not out of the category of classical furniture, but the introduction of some modern furniture concepts, the wardrobe is made into the form of a cabinet, and a shelf is placed inside, so that the clothes can be hung inside, there will be no wrinkles, the table has not changed, it is still a round table, but the matching chair is a chair instead of a round stool, and the chair is a carved back chair, without armrests, and the back part is made lower, and the carving is also very simple.
Coupled with the overall fabric decoration in the house, it is very warm. There are also all kinds of small plants placed in the corners of the house, and the environment in the house is really wonderful.
"Then my mother doesn't have to worry." Wang Qingyan also sighed, she was not afraid of her suffering, the main thing was that her mother had never deliberately wanted her to come here.
"Madame, that's Miss Love, but it's rare for Miss Lin's home to be renovated like this, and Miss Lin will write a letter for the coachman to take it back, so that Madame can rest assured." Parenting mother Qi also said with a smile. She had been observing Lin Zhu and her home from the moment she entered the door, and it was only when she arrived at the house where Wang Qingyan lived that she relaxed and was very satisfied.
Their understanding of the country people has always been dirty and messy, otherwise people and animals are in the same yard, mixed together, but since they entered the door, they have not seen a chicken or duck, the dogs have seen it, but only far away, they do not come forward.
The yard is neat and clean everywhere, and the flowers and plants are also arranged very cleverly, which will not block the road, and make the yard very vibrant.
And what they didn't expect was that there were two rows of grapes planted in the backyard, and a pergola was erected, and when the breeze was blowing, people would suddenly feel how comfortable it was to sit underneath.
And among the people brought by Zhang Manyun were Aunt Wang and Xiaoqiu, the two of them had already said hello to Lin Zhu at Zhang Manyun's instructions, and then went to the kitchen to help.
In order to greet them, Lin Zhu specially found a few early-maturing watermelons from the garden, two made watermelon chicken, and the others were prepared to be eaten after dinner.
However, when Lin Zhu asked the kitchen to clean up the watermelon chicken, someone next door suddenly came over to protest and wanted to eat watermelon chicken in the name of Fu Douer.
"Miss Lin, Young Master Fu heard that you prepared watermelon chicken, and suddenly wanted to eat it." The person who was sent over was Mu Feng, because he was more or less familiar with Lin Zhu's family, and he was far less scheming than others, so he was the first person to bear the brunt of this kind of thing.
"Really?" Lin Zhu raised his eyebrows and looked at him, a big man actually saw sweat on his forehead under Lin Zhu's scrutinizing gaze, Lin Zhu didn't want to bully honest people anymore, so he said, "Okay, you go to the kitchen to find Xiaocao, she will help you prepare it." ”
Lin Zhu had already ordered the kitchen to be prepared, and the food was already a good one, which was prepared for them.
"Xie Lu Xie Lin girl. Hehehehehe. Mu Feng got carried away for a while, and immediately went out, but when he arrived at the door, he remembered that it was a little rude to leave without saluting Lin Zhu, and he turned around with a smirk and thanked Lin Zhu, and then went to find Zhao Xiaocao in a hurry.
Zhao Xiaocao has been helping in the kitchen, on the one hand, because Lin Zhu really didn't need a maid around him at that time, and the kitchen was in urgent need of help, and on the other hand, Zhao Xiaocao's cooking skills were also very good.
Seeing Mu Feng walking into the kitchen with a happy face, Zhao Xiaocao knew what he was here for. Since this Mu Feng came to Lin Zhu's house, except for being by Fu Dou'er's side, he has been circling around the kitchen, and when it comes to meals, he arrives earlier than anyone else, so Zhao Xiaocao has a very deep impression of him.
"Little grass girl, hehe, busy." Mu Feng is very flattering to the second-in-command in this kitchen, and all the food on weekdays comes from her hands.
"Why are you here?" Zhao Xiaocao deliberately embarrassed him. It was very fun to see this big man blushing from what he was eating.
"Hehe, Young Master Fu wants to eat watermelon chicken, didn't I just ask Miss Lin, she asked me to get it." Mu Feng scratched his head embarrassedly, he really couldn't face this little girl who was six or seven years younger than himself.
"There, I've got you covered." Xiaocao didn't embarrass him too much, after all, he was here to protect Fu Dou'er, and his status was much higher than her.
"Then thank you, thank you, Miss Xiaocao." Mu Fenghan looked at Zhao Xiaocao with a smile, picked up the two big food boxes that belonged to them, and nodded at her, "Then I'll leave first, Young Master Fu is still waiting." ”
Zhao Xiaocao looked at Mu Feng who walked out, smiled, and went to prepare the meal again, there were many people today, and she didn't have much free time to stay.
Mu Feng returned to Mu Qiyue's house with the food box.
"Fourth master, the meal is here." He put the food box on the table, opened it, and said to Mu Qiyue, who was playing with the three little people of Fu Dou'er.
"Alright, it's time for us to eat." Mu Qiyue clapped his hands and said to the three little people who were practicing writing. "Fu Dou'er, your face is too flowery, hurry up and wash it. Xuan Xuan and Haizi also went to wash together, you are no better than Fu Dou'er. "Feng Rongxuan's level is the best, but there is still a lot of ink on his hands.
After getting along with Fu Dou'er for a long time, Mu Qiyue's temperament has also been much gentler, if he had put it in the past, he would not take care of people's children, let alone let them enter his own living area. It can be seen that now he will actually guide Feng Rongxuan and Haizi to practice calligraphy, which is too rare.
When he was at Lin Zhu's house, because Fu Dou'er was still young, Lin Zhu asked Feng Rongxuan to be his elder brother and guide Fu Dou'er and Hai Zi's table manners, so they all ate together. And when Mu Qiyue came here, he followed the rules of Lin Zhu.
Originally, Mu Qiyue disagreed with Lin Zhu's approach very much, and in his bones, he thought that the subordinate was a subordinate after all, and he could not eat at the same table with the master.
But when he saw that Feng Rongxuan's etiquette was no worse than that of everyone's sons, and when Feng Rongxuan took care of Fu Douer and Haizi carefully for dinner, that kind of brotherhood really moved him very much, so he agreed with this approach.
And these days in Wang Village, there are only Mu Feng and Mu Yun by his side, so he doesn't pay too much attention to the rules, and they all eat at the same table. He thought it was a very good feeling.
The peaceful life of Wang Village also made him feel happy both mentally and physically. It seems that the things in Qingwangfu have become insignificant. made him linger on the life of Wang Village.
However, reason told him that life here is only temporary, and there are still many things waiting for him to do in the capital, and I believe that some people are already anxious about his long-term absence from showing up, no matter what, there are still a few people in the capital who really care about him. He can't stay in Wangcun without returning to the capital.
I'm going to move in the next two days, and I can finally live alone, busy packing up my things and tidying up the place where I live, and after settling down, I will compensate all my book friends. (To be continued......)
