PS: Thank you to all the friends who subscribed to the collection, and I would like to thank the book friend abccd5432 for the reward, on such a cold day, you make Baishui feel very warm.
Ding Niang took a deep breath in the car, this is the home she will live in the future, and she is about to go out, but she is a little timid. But when she thought of Cheng Yue's smiling face, and his desperate insistence on marrying her in front of her father, and how much trouble it took to get her here, her heart was full of strength. Secretly cheer for yourself: this is my home, I came. Bravely stood up and lifted the curtain.
As soon as she got out of the car, Ding Niang saw the magnificent scenery of the garden at a glance, which was beautiful, and there were many of Cheng Yue's subordinates and servants waiting for her, and Lu Qi and other courtesans were also eagerly looking at her.
Ding Niang smiled slightly, gently put her hand on Lu Qi's hand, and jumped out of the car.
Yang Ting and the others saw Ding Niang for the first time, and they were immediately deeply attracted by her beauty and temperament, they didn't dare to look at it more, they all lowered their heads, and praised in their hearts how could there be such a beautiful woman, even the little lady Ye who was the most favored by the Metropolitan Governor seemed to be inferior. No wonder the Metropolitan Governor attaches so much importance to her, this is the lady that the Metropolitan Governor should marry.
Although they fully participated in this operation, they were a little dissatisfied with Cheng Yue's dispatch of so many people and such painstaking efforts for a woman. There are already four beautiful concubines in the Dadu Governor's mansion, and there are four waiting to pass through the door, and the other two are outside the city, and they may live in at any time, even if they are Wen Tianxiang's daughters, do they need to toss like this? Whether the governor marries Wen Tianxiang's daughter or not will not affect the relationship with Wen Tianxiang. married, but the icing on the cake. Not married. The women of the back house are also enough. Don't forget. There is also a Mongolian princess and her group of dowries. Now that they see Dingniang, the thoughts in their hearts have become the same as Cheng Yue, for such a woman, it is worth the trouble.
Zhao Mengfu is even more lost, I don't know if I can meet such a good couple. By the way, Wen Xianggong still has five daughters, does he still have a chance? Ding Niang is so beautiful. Where could her sisters go? Thinking of this, my heart beat faster, and I couldn't help but look at Dingniang again.
Yang Ting and the other four waited for Wen Dingniang to get off the station and stabilize it, and stepped forward to formally greet him.
Ding Niang knew that they must be Cheng Yue's henchmen, so she smiled and helped them up, and said, "The four adults have worked hard, Ding Niang is the first time to come, and I will have to take care of you in the future." ”
Yang Ting and the others didn't dare to say anything, and after being polite to each other, they led this group of beautiful women straight to the back house.
In the back house, Ye Qian'er and Hu Xiuxiu accompanied Cheng Yue to the outside of the city. Su Rong and Yunluo opened a shop outside every day, and the Guan sisters were reluctant to come to their parents. Only Ziyan and Shiyun were directing the craftsmen to build a small room next to the kitchen, so that various barbecue equipment could be placed in it. Their current status is still maids, although they should have said that they should also go to greet them, but they always want to fight for themselves and other concubines, but they don't go.
Yang Ting and the others sent Dingniang and others to the door of the back house, and they couldn't go any further. There were more than a dozen able-bodied servants living near the left side of the house to prevent anyone from breaking in.
Ding Niang and the others came to the back house of Cheng Mansion for the first time, and they were all nervous and curious.
The servants in the back house are no better than Cheng Yue's concubines, and when they saw Ding Niang coming, they hurriedly stepped forward to say hello, and they were all surprised by Ding Niang's beauty. Knowing that this is a noble concubine who is different from other concubines, he hurriedly took a group of beauties such as Ding Niang to the inner house, and said congratulations while walking.
When the four courtesans who had arrived heard that the sisters were coming, they all greeted them with joy. As soon as I saw Dingniang, I was stunned, they rarely saw such a beautiful woman, and she was likely to be the master of the back house in the future, so she couldn't be too presumptuous in front of her. The four of them hurriedly stepped forward to give the mother a salute, and even lowered their voices a lot.
The back house is also very vast, coupled with the beautiful garden, everywhere the scenery, Ding Niang is dazzled, and the excitement and happiness in her heart can be imagined.
The servant woman took Dingniang and a group of courtesans to the main hall of the back house to sit down, and after serving refreshments, she stood aside with her hands down and waited for orders.
Ding Niang asked, "Is there no one else in the back house now except you?" Did you hear that the concubines of the Grand Governor each controlled one side of the matter, and all of them went out? ”
The servants did not know how to answer, and exchanged glances, but they did not speak.
As soon as Ding Niang saw it, she knew that there must be an article in it. He stood up and pretended to be curious in the hall and said, "I'm a newcomer, I want to walk around and get to know the people in the house, would you like to take me there?" ”
Seeing that Dingniang understood their difficulties, the servants praised Dadu Governor for marrying a good lady, and several servant women stepped forward and volunteered to take Dingniang to see the inner house.
Ding Niang said to the courtesans: "Sisters can go with me if they want to go, if you want to take a rest, just rest here, and I will come back in a while." ”
Of course, the eight courtesans had to accompany her, and the few courtesans who helped stayed on their own accord, but it was none of their business.
Ding Niang and Hachika prostitutes were playing in the back house under the leadership of the servants, and they arrived at the courtyard of the kitchen, and as soon as they entered the courtyard, they saw two soft little girls next to the kitchen directing some craftsmen to build the house with the latest red bricks and cement, it was Ziyan and Shiyun.
Ding Niang and the courtesans also saw red bricks and cement for the first time, and they were very curious. But now is not the time to care about this, and there are still two women to deal with.
Ziyan and Shiyun saw a beautiful woman they had never seen before coming over with eight courtesans, and knew that it must be Wen Dingniang that Cheng Yue said. The two little girls looked at it carefully, and they were suddenly a little deflated, what a beautiful woman! Why is Childe so good-looking! Such a beautiful woman, but she is still the daughter of a bachelor of arts, where is she still an opponent? Even if Ye Qian'er is here, I'm afraid she won't be able to take advantage of it.
Just now, the two of them still had the heart to fight for the wind, but now they are both panicking. If you don't go to greet yourself, are you in trouble? What can I do?
Ding Niang approached again, and the two hurriedly blessed and said, "Slave Ziyan and Shiyun meet Madame." ”
The servant woman who followed behind was terrified for a while, and said in her heart that this lady was really a lady who could get on the stage, and she stopped the back house as soon as she came, and most of the governors were not at home, and if there was a dispute in the back house, she would definitely lose her temper.
Ziyan and Shiyun were the first to follow the Metropolitan Governor, and the Metropolitan Governor took special care of them, and still refused to accept the house. Mrs. Wen subdued the two of them first, and the other concubines were easy to say, Su Rong and the other little ladies also understood the matter, and the eight courtesans seemed to have attached themselves to Mrs. Wen, so that there would be no chaos in the back house.
Ding Niang's smile was like a spring breeze, and she said with a smile: "The two sisters don't have to be polite. I wonder if the two sisters are Sister Ziyan and Sister Shiyun? ”
Ziyan and Shiyun said with some surprise: "It's the slave." ”
Ding Niang clapped her hands and smiled: "Great, I have long heard that Dadu has two favorite concubines, who are smart and beautiful, and they also helped Dadu Governor make gloves and spirits, it turns out that they are your two sisters." It's great to see you all today. Hey, sisters, what are you doing here? Did the Metropolitan come up with some idea to worry about you? ”
Ziyan and Shiyun saw Ding Niang's bearing, and couldn't help but feel broken, remembering their awkwardness just now, they felt very embarrassed, and quickly explained Cheng Yue's meaning to Ding Niang.
Ding Niang heard that Cheng Yue was going to make bread and cakes again, and specially built a baking room. The more she stir-fried the food, the more interested she was in the oven. Eight courtesans also circled the roasting room and pointed their fingers at each other. This time, the craftsmen who came to repair the baking room were fascinated. Where had they seen so many beautiful women, they almost wondered if they were in heaven, and even slowed down the work at hand.
Ziyan noticed the strangeness of the craftsman, so he said: "There are craftsmen and family members here to watch, Mrs. and eight sisters should go back and rest." ”
Ding Niang also paid attention to it, secretly praised Ziyan's quick response, said hello, and led the ten ladies back to the inner hall.
Back in the inner hall, all the concubines sat down separately, and asked Dingniang to sit in the first place.
Ding Niang was not polite, and after sitting down, she asked in detail about the back house.
Ziyan and Shiyun knew that Ding Niang would be favored by Cheng Yue in the future, and they had the heart to make friends with Ding Niang, but they were only hindered by outsiders, so they picked out the things they could talk about and said them all over again, and if they couldn't talk about it, they would not mention it for the time being.
Only then did Ding Niang and the courtesans know that Cheng Yue's plan is so huge, and every concubine, including the concubine who has not passed through the door, is helping Cheng Yue do different work. I was shocked and envious for a while, and I was guessing what I would do?
Ding Niang couldn't help but ask, "Did the Metropolitan Governor mention what he would let us do?" ”
Ziyan said with a smile: "This son has never said it, but the son must have made arrangements, so Madam doesn't have to worry." Childe is so attentive to his wife, and the things arranged for his wife must also be very important, and it is not something we can inquire about. ”
Only then did Lu Qi dare to say carefully: "Two sisters, the Metropolitan Governor wants us to go to the newly opened store to sing, I don't know when it will open?" We're so prepared. After she said a few words to Cheng Yue, she became the head of the Eight Song Prostitutes.
Shi Yun smiled lightly: "Childe didn't say it, Sister Yunluo didn't say it, she is very busy every day, I think it's fast, right?" Don't worry, sisters, since Gongzi has brought you in, there must be different arrangements, otherwise he hired his sisters directly from everywhere, what is it so difficult to bring his sisters into the house? Childe, he's the most versatile, and maybe he'll teach his sisters new tunes. The housekeeper's two sisters are making new instruments, and no one can say whether it will fall on the sisters. Anyway, if the son doesn't move, it's enough, and if he moves, he will inevitably be a blockbuster. The good days of my sisters are still ahead. ”
The Eight Singers were overjoyed to hear that Shiyun had spoken so thoroughly and that it made sense. If Cheng Yue can really teach them new tunes, even if they go out to sing, it will be a very face-saving thing. The scenery was certainly not the same as it is now.
A group of concubines chatted speculatively, and outside the Cheng Mansion, an expected storm had begun to form. (To be continued......)
