Chapter Ninety-Two: Youlan Garden
"Dongxue, Mrs. Yun's bedroom, has the prince arranged it?" Hu Rouan asked after taking a nap.
"As far as the slave maid knows, Mrs. Yun's residence has not been arranged yet." Dongxue replied.
"Then in your opinion, where should Mrs. Yun live?" Hu Rouan asked.
"There are now two empty courtyards in the palace, one is the Peach Blossom Zhai where Mrs. Zang lived, and the other is the Youlan Garden in the northwest corner of the palace. The Orchid Garden has been uninhabited, in disrepair, and the place is remote. Do you want to let Mrs. Yun live in Mrs. Zang's Peach Blossom Zhai? Dongxue figured out Hu Rou'an's mind.
"Peach Blossom Zhai? That's Mrs. Zang's former residence, how can anyone live there? Since there is no arrangement, let people clean up Youlan Garden immediately, and then notify Mrs. Yun to move in! ”
"But Niangniang, that Youlan Garden is so dilapidated and remote, aren't you afraid that the prince will blame you?" Dongxue asked cautiously.
"A woman who is nameless and dispensing, who is not even a concubine, can have her own separate dormitory, which is already a promotion for her. What can the prince say! By the way, the girl named Zhang Yan sent her to serve Mrs. Yun. In addition, pick two clever girls and send them to Youlan Garden. ”
"Zhang Yan is the girl who used to serve Mrs. Zang, and that girl is now sensible. Then send Chunhua and Qiushi to serve in Youlan Garden, what do you want to see? These two girls have always been steady and reliable. ”
"It's not proper, these two girls are too honest! I think Rulan, Minglan is the most suitable sister! These two girls are very clever! Hu Rouan said.
"Yes, sis!"
After I had finished eating with him, and I was resting for a while, a servant girl came to spread the word. said that the princess had sent someone to clean up Youlan Garden, just waiting for Mrs. Yun to move in.
Shen Zong said: "Rou'an is quite thoughtful, but this Youlan Garden is far away. ”
"Lord Wang, it's not a good thing to live farther away. I'm a maverick and don't know the rules. If you live farther away, you can be cleaner, and you can be free and unrestrained. "I persuaded the indulgence.
"If you like it, it's fine." When he saw that I was pleased, he readily agreed.
"Come in!" Shen Zong said suddenly.
I saw the girl rushing in from the clouds. As soon as I came in, I burst into tears.
"Sister, you're finally back?"
"Clouds?" When I saw her, I had mixed feelings. On that day, in order to help me get out of the house, she exchanged clothes with me and left her alone in the house.
"Are you alright, sister?" She pulled me and looked me up and down.
"Sister is fine, but it was you who put you in danger that day, did you do anything?" I looked her up and down.
"The prince is merciful, and it is also for the sake of my sister's face that he did not blame the slave maid." She stuck out her tongue and glanced at her sly.
"I won't worry about you last time, if I lose my wife next time, I won't count the old accounts and the new accounts together?" Indulge and pretend to bluff her.
"Yes, my lord! This time, I will definitely serve Madame carefully, and I will never go on any errands! The clouds swore solemnly.
"Alright, your master and servant are also reunited! Go to Youlan Garden to pack up and have a good rest! He said.
"Thank you, Lord Wang!" Our master and servant walked towards Youlan Yuan with a smile and a smile. On the way, she said that during the period of time after separation, she had been living in Mingming's mansion thanks to Mingming's care and care. When she learned from Ming that the new Lady Yun and Lady Zang were the same person, she returned to the palace without hesitation. The two of us were very happy to meet again after a long absence, and we chatted non-stop along the way.
But when we came to Youlan Garden, although we were mentally prepared, we were still shocked by the dilapidation and desolation of Youlan Garden.
The ruined courtyard walls are littered with weeds. Pushing open the gate of the "squeak", you will see a dry well. Next to the dry well is a pavilion in disrepair, and most of the tiles on the pavilion have fallen off, revealing jagged straw. The faded flower pots in the courtyard show that the former owner was a flower lover.
There were a few rooms in the courtyard, and when I opened the door, they looked clean and tidy, apparently just cleaned.
"Madam, the mother instructed the little ones to clean up this Youlan Garden! This will be your place from now on! A young man about fifteen or sixteen years old said.
He clapped his hands, and a couple of girls came out of the next room.
"Madam, these children are the mother's fingers to take care of you. This is Rulan, Minglan sisters, and this is Zhang Yan. ”
The three girls bowed to me slightly, which was considered to be a salute. Of course I know this Zhang Yan, and she was also brought down by me from Shu Mountain back then. But she may not know that I am Mrs. Zang in the past, and I have a lot of separation.
"Hmmm! Such as orchid, Ming orchid, good name. What's your last name? Where is your ancestral home? I asked.
"The slaves and maids are surnamed Wu, and their ancestral home is Shaanxi." He replied like a brandy.
"Good! It's just that a few of you have been wronged to come to this Youlan Garden, and you have also seen the environment here, which is more bitter than elsewhere......"
Before I could finish speaking, the girl who called Minglan grabbed her mouth and said: "The slaves and maids are not afraid of hardship, the slaves and maids obey the orders of the princess and the maid, and the slaves and maids will go wherever the slaves and maids are asked by the mother." ”
"It's good that the ladies are so faithful to you!" I smiled.
"That's natural, the princess is the most considerate of people, and treats us very well. Of course, the slaves and maids are loyal to their mothers. Rulan continued.
I was still smiling: "Well, I guess it was hard to clean up this Youlan Garden today!" Go down and rest, all of you. ”
I opened the door, and to the left of the main hall was the dormitory, which contained a bed and chairs.
"It's too rudimentary!" Yun Duo said: "Sister, why don't we talk to the prince!" Don't live in this orchid garden! It's too broken here! ”
"Don't, don't say that!"
"Why is that, sister?" The clouds are puzzled.
"Now that the prince has just stabilized the situation in Shudi, and all industries are waiting to be prosperous, how can he be annoyed because of these trivial things in the inner house."
"But sister, how can you live in this yard so dilapidated?" Yun Duo said aggrievedly.
"Good sister, the idea is thought up by people, so naturally there is a way! Tomorrow you go and ask for some bricks, and let's fix the bad place first. ”
"Yes, sister!"
I think back to our time in the Gloomy Valley, when my house with Indulgence was much worse than it is now. But how happy we were then! Therefore, whether a person is happy or unhappy does not depend on the quality of the environment, but on who he lives with.
That night, I took down the plaque of this orchid garden. With a stroke of his pen, he renamed this courtyard: Secluded Valley.
In this Shu land, in this strange Shu Palace, if I and I can still have such a peaceful and quiet harbor, it is not a happy thing!
