Xiao Yulin said to Zhong Yuqi: "If Miss Zhong has anything to do in the future, just look for the two of them." ”

Zhong Yuqi nodded slightly at Xiao Yulin and said, "Thank you, Lord Wang!" ”

Miss Zhong said kind words to this king again! Come! Miss Zhong is tired from the carriage and horses, let's go and rest for a while! ”

After speaking, Xiao Yulin led Zhong Yuqi into the North Courtyard.

The north courtyard is said to be large, but in fact there is only one large house and a few small houses. The big house is the house where Zhong Yuqi lives, and the small house is where the servants live, as well as the bathhouse and the thatched house.

The rest of the place is the landscape belt, and you can see the fence and roof of the small courtyard at the back.

The large house is closed, like a small house, enclosed by a wall and has a gate. Otherwise, with so many people coming and going outside, wouldn't it be like walking around at home?

The large room has three rooms, with a bedroom in the middle, a storage room on the left, and a study room on the right.

There are only some trees and grass in the small house, and there is a pavilion in the middle. A corridor was also built against the wall of the main courtyard to the gate, which could provide shade from the sun and rain. There is a small kitchen on the other side, and there is a well in front of the kitchen door.

At the gate of the small mansion stood a dozen servants, both men and women, young and old. Seeing Xiao Yulin coming, he saluted Xiao Yulin again.

"I've seen the prince!"

"Excuse me!"

Xiao Yulin pointed at Zhong Yuqi and said to them: "This is Miss Zhong, and she will be the master of this north courtyard in the future." ”

Everyone bowed to Zhong Yuqi again and said, "I've seen Miss Zhong!" ”

Zhong Yuqi still said expressionlessly: "Please get up!" ”

Xiao Yulin raised his hand again and said to Zhong Yuqi: "Miss Zhong, please!" ”

Zhong Yuqi nodded slightly at Xiao Yulin, and then entered the small mansion with Xiao Yulin, and came to the outside of the main house to sit down and rest.

Soon, a girl offered fragrant tea and fruits. The tea is a little lukewarm, just right.

Zhong Yuqi exhaled in her heart.

It's a lot of work to get here! These dignitaries and nobles not only have big houses, but also have many rules!

Xiao Yulin said to Zhong Yuqi: "Miss Zhong, please drink tea!" ”

"Thank you, Lord Wang!"

Zhong Yuqi picked up the teacup and drank the tea.

On this hot day, after walking for so long, Zhong Yuqi was really thirsty, and she didn't think about any ladylike manners at this time. Because, she didn't think about creating a ladylike impression for herself.

Xiao Yulin saw that Zhong Yuqi's face was not happy, so he said, "Miss Zhong, but is there anything about this king's hospitality?" ”

Zhong Yuqi was stunned for a moment, then looked at Xiao Yulin and said, "Why did the prince say this?" ”

Xiao Yulin said: "This king doesn't seem to be very happy when he sees you, but what is this king who is not good enough to make Miss Zhong not very satisfied?" ”

"The prince is serious! Thanks to the prince, he can afford to place me so well. I don't have anything to dislike, but I have to thank the prince more. ”

"Why...... Miss Zhong's face is not happy? ”

So, Zhong Yuqi smiled at Xiao Yulin, and then returned to expressionlessness.

Seeing this, Qiu Shi hurriedly explained to Xiao Yulin: "Lord Wang, my young lady has never liked to laugh, not because she is dissatisfied with the prince, and I ask the prince to take care of me!" ”

Xiao Yulin nodded and said, "Yes!" How can Miss Chung's family be happy when something suddenly happens? But this king is abrupt! Miss Zhong, I'm sorry! ”

Zhong Yuqi said: "The prince always says that I don't want to be too polite, but the prince always wants to be polite to me? ”

Xiao Yulin smiled again: "Haha! Don't talk about that! Miss Zhong took a break, and then looked at this courtyard, to see if Miss Zhong was still dissatisfied, just bring it up. Of course, in the future, if Miss Zhong is still dissatisfied with something, Miss Zhong can tell the king, or she can tell the housekeeper to do it. ”

"I am grateful that the prince is willing to take me in, so how can I pick and choose? I don't have too many requirements, just have food and shelter. ”

"Since Miss Zhong is a guest, the king will naturally entertain her. Miss Zhong just thinks of this place as her home, and you can do whatever you want. ”

As soon as these words came out, the servants around couldn't help but think in their hearts.

Zhong Yuqi only nodded and responded: "Hmm! ”

Ma Liu's heart was even more dissatisfied.

Xiao Yulin is so good to Zhong Yuqi, but what about Zhong Yuqi? Not only is it perfunctory, but it doesn't even have a smile! It's a good thing she didn't put forward any opinions, otherwise, I really don't know what to do!

Xiao Yulin didn't have anything else to say to Zhong Yuqi, but it was embarrassing to sit here like this without talking. So, Xiao Yulin called the servants in the small mansion and asked Zhong Yuqi to recognize his face.

There is a thirty or forty-year-old grandmother who is the steward here, named Yu Huizhi, who was also the palace maid who followed Xiao Yulin out of the palace back then.

Since Xiao Yulin set up her own door, she and another grandmother were in charge of Xiao Yulin's diet and daily life. Later, Ma Liu slowly took over Yu Huizhi's affairs, and Yu Huizhi took a back seat. Now, Zhong Yuqi is here, and Yu Huizhi has been assigned to Zhong Yuqi to be in charge.

There are two rough mothers-in-law, Mama Xia and Mama Liu, who are older than Yu Huizhi, and they are also palace maids who left the palace with Xiao Yulin. They used to do chores, but now they are arranged to come to Zhong Yuqi.

There are four girls ranging from sixteen to twenty years old, who were slaves bought from the yamen of the government when the Ruiwang Mansion was opened, that is, the slaves who were dismissed from the families of those criminal ministers. Originally, they had names, but Xiao Yulin named them Cuizhu, Caihe, Jinju, and Baixue on a whim.

There are two middle-aged eunuchs Xu Changsheng and Zuo Linsheng, who also left the palace with Xiao Yulin. Originally, they were in charge of the sprinkling and cleaning of the main courtyard, but considering that Zhong Yuqi needed two laborers here and it was inconvenient for the man to enter, they were sent over.

The small house is equipped with a small kitchen, so naturally there must be a cook. The cook's name is Mrs. Zhou, and she was also assigned from the big kitchen.

In addition, there are three gatekeepers, two goalkeepers, and one on duty.

Therefore, there are thirteen servants in the north courtyard, plus Chunhua and Qiushi, a total of fifteen people, and the manpower is more than enough.

Xiao Yulin said to Zhong Yuqi: "Miss Zhong is a guest, today at noon, this king will hold a banquet in the middle courtyard to catch the wind and wash the dust for Miss Zhong!" ”

Zhong Yuqi said: "The prince is bothered! ”

"Miss Zhong is polite to this king again!"

Subsequently, Xiao Yulin asked Ma Liu again: "What time is it?" ”

Ma Liu replied: "It's almost noon. ”

"Is everything in the kitchen?"

"Almost! Is the prince going to pass the meal now? ”

"Pass it on! Miss Zhong had a hard journey, so Miss Zhong had a good rest after lunch. ”

"Yes! The little one will tell someone to pass the food! ”

Afterwards, Ma Liu motioned to Mrs. Xia to pass the word. Take a hundred plating to read the latest chapter of "Concubine Leng Marries to the Lord and Can't Control the Claw Book House" for free for the first time.
