Chapter 51: The Brother Gives the Name Yi Ran Zhai
With Mama Feng's help, Su Man's courtyard quickly got on the right track.
Mama Feng took the four new little girls with her and watched them for a few days, and then she gave them a wait.
Marigold and Qingdan, two were arranged to serve in the house because of their sharp hands and feet, and they were clever in their actions, and the other two were placed in the yard to do some chores.
Originally, according to the regulations of the concubines of the Bofu, Su Man should have a big girl by his side, two second-class girls, four third-class girls, and more than a dozen rough mothers-in-law.
But now that Su Man's small courtyard has been erected, the manpower is not sufficient.
However, Su Man felt that it was enough, and she needed so many people to serve her alone.
However, Su Man stood at the door of the small courtyard, looking up at the bare lintel, the top priority was not how many girls should be used, but to give her a decent name for this courtyard.
As for the ink in Su Man's stomach, she decisively gave up the choice of embarrassing herself by choosing a name, turned her head and went to the outer courtyard.
There is a champion brother, why are you embarrassed to do this kind of thing by choosing a name.
Lu Yancai came back from the Hanlin Academy, and only then did he change out of his official uniform and prepare to greet the elders, but before he walked out of Moyuanju, he saw Su Man leading the two girls to come over slowly.
"Why are you here at this time?" Lu Yan took a few steps behind his back to meet Su Man, "It looks like it's about to be dinner time, why don't you go to the old lady, what are you doing here with me?" ”
"Look at what my brother said, I wanted to come over earlier, but my brother can only come back at this time," Su Man pursed his lips exaggeratedly, "As a younger sister, I naturally want to come to the door to ask to see me in person." ”
Lu Yan knew that Su Man was a lazy person who went to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, if she didn't have something to tell her, she would definitely not have walked such a long way and came to Mo Yuanju to find him in person.
Lu Yan chuckled, but he didn't speak, only looked at Su Man quietly.
Su Man was a little embarrassed by him, coughed lightly, and then explained: "Haven't I moved to my own yard, this yard is quite good, but there are still a little shortcomings." ”
Lu Yan still didn't speak, only raised his eyebrows slightly.
Su Man waited for a while and didn't see him ask, so he had to continue to laugh and talk to himself: "Okay, I came to ask my brother for a pair of ink treasures to give me a name for my small courtyard." ”
Lu Yan looked at Su Man's smile on his face, and finally couldn't help but chuckle, and said, "It's a little late today, you and I will go to the elders to say goodbye first, and I will ask Qingcheng to make the plaque tomorrow." ”
When Su Man heard Lu Yan's meaning, he didn't have to worry about it at all, and he was very happy.
She jumped to Lu Yan's side in two steps, stretched out her hand to hold Lu Yan's arm, and smiled affectionately: "I know that my brother is the most caring." ”
Lu Yan originally stood well, but when she pulled her, her body stiffened a little unconsciously.
He looked down at the delicate and soft Yi wrapped around his arm, silently pulled out his arm, chuckled, and said, "You are my sister, I want to hurt you." ”
Su Man only felt that his hands were empty, and Lu Yan had already taken two steps back. She tilted her head with some confusion and looked at Lu Yan, who had already distanced herself from her.
Lu Yan saw her doubts, brushed his sleeves casually, and explained: "You are old now, don't be so unruly." ”
Su Man let out a low sigh and muttered, "I know, I know." ”
In ancient times, it was really troublesome, and my brother couldn't touch it.
The brother and sister walked two steps away to the inner courtyard.
Su Man still felt a little awkward in his heart, looked up at the young man with a straight back in front of him, and couldn't help but think in his heart that if Su Che was at home, he would definitely not tell him so many rules and etiquette.
Sure enough, the person in front of him was stupid to read.
Early the next morning, Qingcheng personally went to Su Man's courtyard, led a few small servants to the courtyard gate to measure the size, and then turned around and left.
Since Lu Yan said that she didn't need to worry about this matter, she really didn't think about it anymore.
However, she didn't expect Qingcheng's speed to be so fast, but on the third or fourth day, a plaque with Yi Ran Zhai written on it was hung on the lintel of Su Man's small courtyard.
Hongmei asked her mother-in-law to wipe the plaque with a wet handkerchief, and said to Su Man excitedly: "Sure enough, Young Master Yan knows our girl best, look at this name, Yi Ran Zhai, free and comfortable, but it really looks like our girl's temperament." ”
"Did you smear honey on your mouth, but you picked up nice words." Tang Niangzi sat under the magnolia tree with her feet crossed and munched melon seeds, "Your girl is free and comfortable, and your girl is obviously lazy and greedy." ”
Zizhu, who was sitting under the porch doing needlework, burst out laughing and said, "Tang Niangzi, don't talk nonsense, where is my girl, where is she lazy and greedy." ”
Zizhu said, as if he couldn't convince himself, and finally covered his mouth and giggled.
"I heard that your girl once ate a few more ribs because of her greed, and she actually felt sick to her stomach, but is there such a thing?" Tang Niangzi looked at the giggling Zizhu, her eyebrows raised, "Is this still called greedy?" ”
Su Man, who was walking on the side, finally couldn't bear it, rolled up his sleeves and stood up, walked to Tang Niangzi's side in a few steps, and stretched out his hand to knead Tang Niangzi's face indiscriminately: "Which person who is not strict in his mouth actually told you all about this matter, so that I know that I have to slap his mouth." ”
Tang Niangzi laughed and held Su Man's wrist, gasped and replied, "I'm afraid you can't stretch your hand that long now." ”
Su Man immediately understood what Tang Niangzi meant: "Su Che, this big mouth!" ”
The girls in the yard giggled again.
Here Su Man was laughing happily with the girls, and he heard a mother-in-law's laughter outside the courtyard gate: "The big girl is here?" ”
The girls in the courtyard immediately restrained their smiles and turned their heads to look at the gate of the courtyard.
At the gate of the courtyard, a round-faced mother-in-law poked her head in with a smile, and when she saw the people in the courtyard, she immediately stepped in, bent her knees and said: "Girl, the old slave is from the yard of the second lady, and the second lady said that she hadn't seen the eldest girl for several days, and she misses the eldest girl very much, and wants to ask you to come and talk to our lady." ”
Su Man had a slight impression of this mother-in-law, and hurriedly beckoned the little girl to move the pestle for her, and said with a smile: "It's my negligence, I've been busy moving the yard these days, and I haven't visited the second aunt for several days." ”
"Girl, where are you talking about this, our lady knows that the girl has been busy lately, so she wants to wait for the girl to rest, and then invite the girl." The woman thanked her, and then sat sideways on the small pestle, smiling and greeting Su Man.
"Then please wait a little longer, and when I change my clothes, I will go over to visit the second aunt."
