Chapter 9 Lang Jun, Is the Concubine Beautiful?
Cai Yan looked at the frolic with Diao Xiu'er, Yuan Xi's handsome and gentle face, and his heart was extremely soft, born in troubled times, when he met this good son-in-law, a weak woman, what else could he ask for?
Yuan Xi's mansion is not too big, there is only a three-entry courtyard, which is said to be very large at that time, but this is obviously much smaller than the very famous and snobbish Yuan family.
These were all requested by Yuan Xi himself, because he knew that he would not live here for a long time.
The scale is small, but the environment is quite good.
In addition to the first courtyard, which is specially reserved for the next person to live in, the last two courtyards are full of flowers, thick greenery, and vegetation and flowers everywhere even in winter.
There are only ten maids in Yuan Xi's mansion, four or five servants, and two cooks, no more than twenty in total. Not to mention that compared with Yuan Shang's mansion that shows off everywhere, even compared with the eldest brother Yuan Tan's mansion, which is not very obvious, it is also far behind.
In Hebei, the second son of the Yuan family has no hope except for the name of romance!
"The second son is back, the second son is back." As soon as Yuan Xi got out of the carriage, the porter shouted.
"Second son, you're back," the porter Yuan He stepped forward and bent over and said with a smile: "You have been gone for more than half a year, and you are missing in the house, but it is cold." ”
Yuan Xi took down the low bench on the carriage and said with a smile: "I won't leave for the time being when I come back this time, and we'll talk about it when my father comes back." ”
"Okay." Yuan He nodded again and again, more than a dozen servants and maids in the family, although they were all transferred from the Yuan Mansion, but Yuan Xi was very good to them, and Yuan He was naturally happy to be able to stay for a long time when he came back this time.
When he saw two beautiful women like flowers and jade, one after another getting off the carriage, Yuan He only felt that his eyes were not enough, and the second son was really a god. Before I left last time, I said that I must bring the hostess back next time I come back, but I didn't expect to really bring it back this time.
"Yuan He!" Yuan Xi shouted with a calm face.
Yuan He immediately came back to his senses and broke out in a cold sweat, but Yuan He was also clever, bowed his head, and said respectfully: "Welcome to the two ladies!" ”
Cai Yan glanced at Yuan Xi with a smile, raised his hand and said, "No courtesy." ”
"Mrs. Xie." Yuan He respectfully stepped aside, not daring to raise his head randomly.
Who in the Yuan family doesn't know that the second son, Yuan Xi, has a family affair in Luoyang, and is still chasing a woman frantically, but he is afraid that those two are in front of him. With the importance of the second son, even if Yuan He was very favored by Yuan Xi in the past, he did not dare to be pampered and arrogant this time, otherwise he would offend the two of them, and he was afraid that he would not have to stay in Yuan's mansion.
Regarding his identity, Yuan He is still very sober.
The two rows of maids had already received the news, and stood by the door, all bowing their heads, respectfully welcoming the hostess of the house.
What they talk about the most on weekdays is when the second son will be able to bring his wife back, but he didn't expect to really bring it back this time, while everyone is happy for Yuan Xi, they are a little worried about whether the two ladies will get along well. I was a little worried for a while.
"The house has been prepared for a long time, the three of us live in the third courtyard, there are many houses in it, but there are no single courtyards, this will have to wait until later." Yuan Xi led the two of them slowly forward in front.
There are ten maids behind him, and along the way, it seems to be lively, but he knows his own affairs, except for the caretaker who cooks the food, the people in the house are here, and Yuan Xi is already thinking about whether it is time to buy some maids.
If you don't come back to live, it's just that, now you come back to live for a long time, and there is no popularity in the house, which is indeed a bit bad.
Cai Yan doesn't have much requirements for the house, but he is quite satisfied with the environment in front of him. Diao Xiuer is even more like a flower and butterfly, running unscrupulously among the grass and flowers in the courtyard.
"Yuan Xi, Yuan Xi, how did you do it, there are orchids in winter, it's so beautiful." Diao Xiu'er gently plucked an orchid, raised it lightly with her bare hand, stuck it in her hair obliquely, and smiled at him: "Do you think I'm not beautiful?" ”
Yuan Xi stroked his palms and smiled: "Ordinary people's beauty is metaphorized by flowers, I think Xiu'er you are more delicate than flowers, it is estimated that in two days, these flowers will be ashamed to wither." ”
Cai Yan looked at the elf-like woman in front of him, and also muttered: "In ancient times, there was Shih Tzu Shenyu, and now there is Xiu'er who is ashamed of flowers. ”
Yuan Xi hurriedly said "modestly": "My talent is far inferior to Wen Ji, or Wen Ji, you can come." In the past few years, in order to get close to Cai Yantao, he almost searched for dry intestines, where to do it again, it was too much of a headache. At the moment, I can only pick and choose.
Cai Yan glanced at him with shame and disgust, Yuan Xi's point was also a place that attracted her at the beginning, she was talented but didn't like to show off. It's much better than many people who only have a little ink in their belly, but love to show everywhere.
Diao Xiu'er had enough of playing, threw away the orchid on her head, walked over and hugged Cai Yan's arm and said, "Sister Wenji, let's go and see the new house, there is no single courtyard, how about we live in the left and right rooms?" ”
Before Cai Yan could speak, Yuan Xi hurriedly stopped: "There are a lot of houses, what do you live in the left and right rooms, you can live separately, and you can let the personal maid live in the left and right rooms." ”
This time, Cai Yan and Diao Xiuer each brought five personal maids. For the time being, I am still packing up my things outside the house, and it is more appropriate to let them live.
The most important thing is that if the two are allowed to live together, Yuan Xi will have difficulty choosing. Passing by the door at that time, the other person will be embarrassed no matter which room he enters.
Although Diao Xiu'er was a little cautious, her courage was still very rough overall, but Cai Yan saw through what he was thinking at a glance, glanced at him, and slowly walked inside with Diao Xiu'er.
In the end, Diao Xiuer chose the third room in the west room, and Cai Yan chose the third room in the east room. Outside the small house separated by the maid on both sides, in the middle is Yuan Xi's room.
Although the house is small, it is well designed.
Originally, Yuan Xi didn't want to have his own room, so he took turns sleeping in Cai Yan and Diao Xiu'er's room, where would he have time to sleep in his own room.
But Cai Yan shattered his illusion with a word.
"Husband, my father said that he would wait for you to give me a beautiful scenery in Hebei and prepare a grand wedding before allowing us to perform that Zhou Gong ceremony, and you are not allowed to come nonsense."
The three of them sat on a flower platform in the third courtyard, and Cai Yan chattered to Yuan Xi seriously, with an indescribable seriousness.
"Sister Wen Ji, you, what are you talking about?" Diao Xiu'er was so ashamed that her face was flushed, don't look at her usual big grin, and she has no scruples when she goes crazy, but there are many taboo things between men and women, Yuan Xi rarely mentions them with her, and now seeing Cai Yan mention it without shyness, it can make her ashamed.
