The house that Wang Zhixian said was located at the west end of Dongmen Street. Wang Zhixian saw that Xu Liang agreed to move in, and specially gave Xu Liang three days off.

Xu Liang called the iron head, packed his bags, in fact, there were only three or four packages, closed the courtyard door of the small room, and the two came to the front of the house. It is a very large area of the house, outside the main gate is the East Gate Street, into the door on both sides of the verandah, in the middle is through the hall, through the hall, symmetrically built four small rooms, behind the small room is the main hall compound, the front of the three upper rooms, all carved beams and painted buildings, both sides through the mountain verandah wing room, behind the main hall, a half-moon arch, the main hall and the bamboo forest behind the house separate.

Xu Liang watched as he walked, and he was very satisfied. In half an hour, he and Tietou walked around all rooms of the house, and couldn't help but sigh at the luxury of the ancients' residences, and then looked at the fallen leaves and weeds all over the ground and worried.

Xu Liang carried the silver taels in his arms, pulled out the iron head who was reluctant to look at the room, stuffed the silver into his hand, and ordered: "Ah Tie, you go out now, and find a way to buy two to call the maid ring back." ”

Iron Head's answer should be very refreshing. I went out with the money, and in less than two hours I brought back two fourteen or fifteen-year-old women, who were yellow and thin-skinned, and most of them were children of poor families, and their coarse cloth skirts were patched. Xu Liang was very surprised when he saw it, and after receiving the half-baked salute from the two young girls, he pulled the iron head and asked quietly, "Where did you get these two little girls?" You won't grab it halfway, will you? ”

Tietou shook his head, took out two deeds of sale from his arms, handed them to Xu Liang, and said: "Young master, don't worry, these two people have already been inquired about by Tietou, and their parents have agreed, you see, the deeds of sale have been written." ”

Xu Liang took it, looked at it, and saw that it was really as Tietou said, so he praised Tietou with great appreciation, straightened his chest, and said to the two newcomers: "Since you have come here, you will be my Xu Liang Mansion from now on, you can rest assured, as long as you listen to the words of Young Master Ben and work hard, Young Master Ben will never treat you badly." He looked at one of the melon-faced maids and asked, "What's your name?" ”

The girl replied nervously in a low voice: "Back to the young master's words, I, ah no, the slave maid is called Zhao Sifeng." ”

Xu Liang frowned, and asked another, "What about you?" ”

The other girl looked bolder, and replied crisply: "My father is called me Cuihua." ”

Emerald flowers? On sauerkraut? What is the name of this? Xu Liang sighed, thought about it, pointed to the melon seed face, and said: "You have already sold yourself to Young Master Ben, this name has to be changed, you will be called Chun'er," and pointed to another and said: "As for you, just call it Xia'er." Have you memorized them all? ”

"Remember the young master!" This time, the two girls replied in unison.

"Well, good!" Xu Liang nodded with satisfaction, pointed to the fallen leaves on the ground in the courtyard, and commanded majestically: "Now, Young Master Ben orders you to clean our courtyard and house well." ”

"Yes!" The two maids answered, and looked around for a broom to clean up the rag. Xu Liang stood on the side and watched for a while, and secretly said that this iron head is really good at picking people, looking at these two thin bodies, one with a broom, the other with a bucket and a rag, working very hard, and then looking at that posture, it is clear that he has been used to doing this work before.

When it was about to get dark, this belonged to Xu Liang's new house to be considered a little good, Xu Liang saw that it was about to get dark, so he stopped the sweaty people, and asked Tietou to call for food on the street, and the four of them sat around a table and ate the first meal in the new house.

The next day, after Xu Liang woke up, he had to call everyone to make persistent efforts and carry out the cleaning work again, only to hear a knock at the door.

Chun'er stepped forward to open the door, saw the situation outside the house, was excited, hurriedly closed the door tightly, turned around and ran to Xu Liang like a gust of wind, and said incoherently: "Young master, no, it's not good, there are a large group of officers and soldiers outside the door, like a ...... who came to arrest people."

Xu Liang's eyes suddenly widened, the officers and soldiers came just after they moved in? What do you want to do?

Xu Liang walked to the door suspiciously, opened the door a crack, looked out, and suddenly his nose was almost crooked.

Xu Liang greeted Tietou, opened the main door, and said apologetically to the group of colleagues from Jianchang County who were standing under the steps outside the door: "Ouch, it turned out to be Lord Ge and all my colleagues, please come in, please come in!" ”

Ge Zhubo saw Xu Liang, smiled strangely, and said: "Hey, I said Brother Xu, I knocked on the door just now, but a woman opened the door and closed it immediately, so much so that I thought I went to the wrong door, and now I see Brother Xu himself coming out, and I let go of my hanging heart, haha." ”

Xu Liang smiled awkwardly, and politely welcomed Yige Master Bo and a group of six-room owners and scribes into the door.

"Lord Xu!"

Xu Liang looked back, and Gong Deyan, the head of the house, stood behind him respectfully, bowed slightly, handed over an envelope wrapped in red paper, and said uneasily: "The lower official heard that Lord Xu had moved to a new house, and he came to congratulate him. ”

Xu Liang was surprised, seeing that the palace chief looked at him with a begging look on his face, hesitated slightly, laughed, patted the palace director's shoulder affectionately, and said: "Why should the palace master be so polite, you are all colleagues, and you still have to help each other in the future." ”

"Heh, yes, yes," the palace master secretly put his mind at ease, and said in a loud voice, "In the future, the lower officials will definitely obey Lord Xu's orders wholeheartedly." ”

"Haha." Xu Liang laughed heartily and took the hand of the palace master and entered the gate together.

Ge Zhubo and his entourage entered the door, but they didn't dare to enter the main hall, standing in the courtyard and gossiping with each other.

Xu Liang was secretly strange, and when he looked up, he saw Chun'er and Xia'er standing on the stacked benches and rubbing the two vermilion-lacquered doors of the main hall. Xu Liang wailed in his heart, and said with a smile to Ge Zhubo and the others: "Uh, hehe, that Xu Mou just moved here, and many places have not been cleared up yet. ”

"Where, where." A few principals, the scribe gave his hand again and again, and said with a smile.

Seeing that Xu Liang was indeed unable to entertain guests here, Lord Ge said: "Everyone, I see that this Lord Xu is also very busy today, I think we should not hinder Lord Xu from tidying up his new home, and you also have a bunch of things in the yamen, do you think you should go back to the yamen earlier?" ”

"Ah, Lord Ge's reminder, the lower official remembered it, there is still an official document in the yamen that has not been handled, Lord Xu, the lower official will leave." The master of the workshop suddenly said, stuffed a red envelope to Xu Liang, and left.

At present, others have followed suit, and have presented congratulatory gifts, each looking for a reason to leave.

Xu Liang took a stack of red envelopes in his hand, and saw that seven or eight county officials who came to the door were gone in a blink of an eye, and when he turned around, he saw that the two maids were still standing on the stool and wiping the doors and windows of the main hall, and shouted: "Don't wipe it!" ”

In the courtyard, Xu Liang lectured Chun'er and Xia'er, who had innocent expressions, in a loud voice.

"I said, why don't you two have any eyesight? As the maid of Xufu, should the guests hurry up to serve tea? Yes? Look at the two of you, there are so many people just here, you don't know why it's important to stop and greet guests? Still standing on a stool to wipe the doors and windows? Block the main hall door tightly! The adults didn't even have a place to sit! ”

"Young master," Chun'er whispered: "Chun'er wants to let the people who come see how obedient the young master is and how hard he works......

"Thank you!" Xu Liang pointed at Chun'er's head with his left hand, and lit Chun'er like a chicken pecking rice, "Young master, I won't talk about you, let you go and open the door, you're good, when you saw a few adults, you were so frightened that you immediately closed the door, and ran back to call the officers and soldiers coming?" You haven't seen any officers and soldiers, how can anyone come to arrest people with gifts? ”

Chun'er shrunk her neck and said aggrievedly: "Chun'er has never seen officers and soldiers, since I was a child, the biggest official Chun'er has ever seen is the elder man, woo......"

As soon as Chun'er cried, Xia'er over there also sobbed.

Facing the two crying little girls, Xu Liang was angry and had nowhere to go, his eyes wandered around, but he saw Tietou standing on the steps happily watching the play with his hands in his hands.

Xu Liang suddenly remembered the culprit of Tietou, glared at him and shouted viciously: "Ah Tie! You kid listen to Young Master Ben, I don't care what method you use! Three days, within three days, I want these two little girls to learn how to be a maid in Xu's mansion! ”

Tietou didn't expect such a difficult thing to fly to him, and he was stunned at the moment and said: "Young master, this, I, I won't either!" ”

Xu Liang was so angry that he almost jumped to his feet, and he was about to scold again, but he could only hear a person poke into his head from outside the gate, and asked hesitantly: "Excuse me, is this Lord Xu's family?" ”

Xu Liang looked angrily at the man dressed as a family member who was probing his brain, and shouted, "What is the matter with Lord Ben?" ”

"Hey, Ah Jiu, why are you?" But when the iron head saw the man, he cried out in astonishment.

When the family saw Tietou, he looked at Xu Liang carefully, and then turned his head excitedly and shouted behind him: "Master, I found it, the third young master is really here!" ”

Xu Liang was confused when he heard this, pulled the iron head, and asked, "Do you know each other?" ”

Before the iron head could reply, a majestic voice came.

"Liang San'er!"

Xu Liang looked up and saw that the person who came in with his feet outside the door was the eldest master of Xufu, his nominal father Xu Changkun.

Xu Liang exclaimed: "Why are you here?" ”
