Chapter 42: I'm Busy Moving
Su Man is a man of action, and he said that he couldn't wait for a moment when he moved.
After breakfast on the second day, Zhou's mother led a round woman in.
When the woman saw Old Madam Su, she immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "The little woman has seen the old lady." ”
Old Madam Su raised her hand slightly, and Mother Zhou smiled and said, "Sister-in-law Li, hurry up, the old lady still expects you to send some clever girls in." ”
The round woman responded with a smile, quickly got up from the ground, hunched her waist and said, "I heard that the eldest girl in the house is going to add a girl to the yard, and I chose a dozen clever ones to bring them over in the morning, and all of them are good." ”
Old Madam Su didn't speak, only turned her head to look at Mother Zhou, Mother Zhou understood, and said with a smile: "If I didn't trust you, how could I call you here, don't say so much, quickly bring everyone up." ”
The woman answered cheerfully, turned her head and went out, and beckoned, "Bring them all in." ”
Su Man was a little curious, and turned his head to look out the window. Behind her, Mrs. Su explained with a smile: "This Mrs. Li is specially trained by girls in our house, and the girls she has taught are not all clever, but they are also very safe." Old Madam Su's voice paused, "There will be a few children in the family for a while, you just have to let go of your hands and feet, and you will only have the final say in the affairs of your yard in the future." ”
Su Man responded, knowing that Old Madam Su wanted her to learn to manage family affairs, so she said with a smile: "I have learned a lot from Mama Feng over the years, so you can rest assured, grandmother." ”
Before Su Man's words fell, Mrs. Li opened the curtain and came in, followed by her, and a string of teenage girls came in.
More than a dozen little girls lined up in a line, and saluted Mrs. Su and Su Man in a proper manner.
Old Madam Su nodded, and then turned her head to look at Su Man.
Su Man looked over in turn, and saw that these dozen or so little girls were wearing a green armor of a water, which was very tender and good-looking.
Su Man looked at it again, and felt a little confused.
This, it all looks similar, how should she choose.
Don't panic, if you can't see the ability, let's look at the appearance.
Su Man swept around, pointed to one of the most eye-catching little girls, and asked, "What's your name?" ”
The little girl saw that Su Man nodded to herself, but her expression did not change at all, she only bent her knees and blessed her, and replied softly: "Back to the girl's words, the maid's name is Cuiyun, and she is eleven years old this year." ”
The little girl had just spoken, and then she heard Mrs. Li come over and explain with a smile: "Cuiyun's Lao Tzu is the old man Liu who plays with flowers and plants in the house, and the mother is the sister-in-law Liu in the big kitchen, who grew up in our house when she was young." I used to follow her mother in the kitchen, but I heard that the girl picked a girl, so I sent it over. ”
Helping out in the kitchen? Su Man's eyes lit up: "That's her." ”
Old Madam Su didn't see what Su Man was thinking, she only felt that the family had a safe child, so she nodded slowly.
Su Man ordered a few girls casually, some of them were born and some were bought from outside, but they all had one characteristic, that is, they were good-looking.
Mrs. Su didn't say anything when she saw it, waved her hand and asked someone to lead the girl down, and ordered: "Send it to Aunt Feng for training and training first, and then come over to serve when the girl moves the yard." ”
When everyone left, Mrs. Su pulled Su Man over and said in a serious voice: "I originally thought that I would let you live in my mercy courtyard until you came out of the pavilion, but grandmother always had to have a bowl of water flat, do you say yes." ”
Su Man was naturally very reluctant to Mrs. Su, she nestled in Mrs. Su's arms, and said coquettishly with a bit of nasal voice: "I'm not a child anymore, my grandmother naturally understands these granddaughters." ”
She sniffed, and arched into Mrs. Su's arms again: "Mother also often says that I will always be a housewife in the future, and it is not okay to always rely on my grandmother." ”
Old Madam Su slowly patted Su Man's back and said with a low smile: "Your mother is a sensible person, and you will learn more from your mother in the future." ”
Su Man nestled in Mrs. Su's arms, and only after a while did she answer in a sullen voice.
The courtyard that Mrs. Su chose for Su Man was in an excellent location, just behind Mrs. Su's small courtyard.
The courtyard was not large, but there were three main rooms and two ear rooms, and several side rooms on the east and west sides.
There is a magnolia tree with a thickness of very arms in the yard, and at this time, the magnolia flowers bloom at the best time, and the snow-white flowers stand on the branches, making the whole courtyard a lot more lively.
Outside the corner gate on the east side is the back garden, and the water pavilion where Lu Yan once lived is only separated from this courtyard by a wall.
Next to the corner gate, there is a bare grape trellis, I am afraid that no one has lived in this yard for a long time, and the vines have withered.
Su Man stood at the gate of the courtyard, looked around the entire courtyard, and nodded with great satisfaction.
Because Su Man only has a big girl by her side, Dailan, she didn't show it when she lived with the old lady, so she felt that it was not enough to move out.
The old lady transferred the two second-class girls who had to be used around her, Zizhu and Hongmei, to Su Man's side to serve.
Su Man took a few girls to clean up this independent courtyard inside and out, and Zhou's mother opened the old lady's warehouse again, and moved a Nanmu carved walking bed to Su Man.
When Su Man saw the bed, his eyes almost fell out.
Nanmu is already very precious, such a big stepping bed, and I don't know how much Nanmu is used, this price, Su Man can't think about it.
Zhou's mother didn't care much, and said with a smile: "This bed is the old lady's dowry back then, and it is said that it will be dusty if it is placed in the warehouse, so it is better to call the girl to use it." ”
"By the way," Zhou's mother seemed to think of something again, "the old lady asked me to tell the girl that there is also a set of sour branch wood arhat beds embedded with luodian in the warehouse, and if the girl likes it, she will also move it for the girl." ”
I dripped, Su Man hurriedly waved his hand: "My place is small, just put a soft couch under the window, don't move it here." ”
Although she is from the modern era, she also knows that this treasure-embedded furniture is not cheap. The last time she saw the Luodian inlaid Luohan bed was in a national museum.
Zhou's mother was not reluctant, but said with a smile: "This yard is a little smaller, but it is the closest to the old lady. ”
Before Su Man could say a good word, he heard a mother-in-law's voice at the gate: "Is the eldest girl there?" Young Master Yan prepared some things for the girl, and the old slave sent them to the girl. ”
