Zilan specially advised, the Sanjin courtyard was originally prepared in case, but now Yuping Yuze is with her, she needs a separate environment so that she is more comfortable, it is very suitable to live in the Sanjin courtyard, and it is not too far from Cui's house, two streets away.

"Don't worry, they're good at it, and they know who they can provoke and who can't."

Mu Xiang laughed and teased.

"The dowry should be sorted out as soon as possible, especially my books and calligraphy and paintings must be carefully moved out, and the materials and other things must be taken out.

The herbs were put into the incense room, and Qiong Xin needed to let her use them first. ”

"Yes."

"Alright, you guys are busy, I'll take a break too."

It's not a big deal for the time being, you can rest for a few days, as for the housekeeper's right, she really doesn't care about this, it doesn't matter if it's not, and it's not half a day on this day.

In the afternoon, Zilan woke up and went for a walk in the yard, and went to the study in the outer courtyard to take a look, and everything was placed according to her preferences.

took a volume of antique calligraphy and paintings to the courtyard of his mother-in-law Zhang, intending to curry favor with his mother-in-law and get along with him.

Seeing that my mother-in-law is a very simple person, it shouldn't be difficult to get along with.

As soon as I entered the courtyard, it was empty, and there was no one guarding the door, and there was no one everywhere, so I was quite puzzled, wasn't it there?

When she walked to the door, no maid came out to greet her, Zilan couldn't help frowning, but she didn't say anything.

"Is Mother there? I'm here to ask my mother for a cup of tea. ”

"It's Lan'er, come in, hey, Qingwan, that girl, why is she gone."

Zhang himself came out to greet his daughter-in-law, and poked his head out to take a look in the courtyard, and there was no one empty.

"When I came, there was no one, so I just came in, Mother, and I didn't bother you."

Zilan nodded.

Zhang smiled, "Maybe you went out to play, it doesn't matter, I'll pour you tea." ”

As he spoke, he walked out, wanting to see if there was any tea in the tea stove outside.

Zilan hurriedly stopped her, "I don't need a mother, I'm not thirsty, I just came out of the house, I brought a calligraphy and painting for you to taste, I just thought of coming over and talking to you." ”

Mu Xiang saw it, and immediately stepped forward, "How can you let the master work, I'll boil water, my tea-making skills are okay, please give Mrs. a face to taste." ”

Zhang was a little embarrassed, "I've never been very careful, they are a little indulgent, come back and tell me about them." ”

"It doesn't matter, let's go out and play. Who was in charge of the things in the house before? ”

Zilan helped Zhang to walk into the house, and Mu Xiang went to boil water to make tea, no way, I don't know why in the yard, all the big and small maids are gone.

"In the past, it was my personal grandmother who took care of them, and my grandmother was old and a little uncomfortable recently, so I let me go home to recuperate for a while, and when I was ready, I would always be more comfortable in my own home."

"That's right, but there are tonics and silver sent to the past, it always costs money to recuperate, and we have been with you for a lifetime, we should respect it."

Meant to be a reminder.

"Don't worry, I specially asked Wen Yuan in front of your father-in-law to give the money and silver."

Zhang smiled and patted her hand and pulled her to sit down.

Zilan wondered if she didn't trust these maids in the house too much.

"My grandmother said that if there is something outside, let Wenyuan and them do it, don't let the maid go, so as not to run away."

Zhang smiled and muttered.

"Mama really loves you, and she thinks about you everywhere."

Zilan understood that the person who was worried about her wholeheartedly knew the urine nature of these maids, and she had been vaccinated in advance.

"Yes, I've been blessed by her in my life, otherwise I don't know what kind of mess I'm going to make with my character."

"By the way, the second master gave me all the silver money boxes yesterday, and I saw that there was still Qingwan's slave contract inside, how could this be in his hands.

I also came to ask my mother, is it not good to keep it for me, or I will send it back to you.

Don't get people wrong, this daughter-in-law's hand is too long, and it all reaches into the in-laws' house.

I panicked and rushed to my mother. ”

Zhang's eyebrows smiled, "I'm not afraid of your jokes, I'm a person who doesn't know about ordinary affairs, your father-in-law took care of it for me before, and then Brother Hao grew up and needed money to spend, so your father-in-law threw it all to him, and you can keep it for you."

I can't keep anything, my ears are soft, and I don't know when someone will coax me away.

Let me tell you that I don't have anything in my hand, just any books, calligraphy and paintings, and jewelry that I wear, and I don't have any valuable contracts, and I can't keep them.

My grandmother said that it would either be for your father-in-law or for my son, and I didn't have to keep it myself. You're a capable one, so keep it for me. ”

Zilan lowered her head and thought for a moment before she raised her head and smiled at her mother-in-law, "That's okay, I understand, I'll keep it." Mother, I'll come back tomorrow, do you have anything to explain? ”

"No, you just have to go back, go back to the door and return to Brother Hao'er to get ready, don't worry, I don't have anything to explain."

Zhang's is really not caring about everything, she doesn't know how to play and doesn't put on music, which is rare.

"Thank you mother for loving me, I brought a calligraphy and painting for you to take a look at, I heard you say very well in the morning, I feel that I don't understand a lot of things, I will find out the dowry, you see."

"Oh, yes, I'll take a look, I've seen your paintings, they're very good, but you didn't study them hard, otherwise you'd come out.

But you don't like to be in the limelight, but it fits my temper, I have a lot of paint, if you lack it, just come to me and get it. ”

Zhang walked to the bookcase as he spoke, and went to wash his hands and dry them before slowly unfolding the scroll.

Looking at this action, you can know that she is a person who cherishes books, and she really loves books as much as her life.

"Well, it's a good painting, it's worthy of everyone's work, this is the pinnacle level, it's good, give me a few days to enjoy it, I have a lot of paintings, all of them are in Brother Hao and your father-in-law, if you want to see it, go and get it."

After finishing speaking, he ignored her again, lowered his head and pondered the painting by himself, and his eyebrows flew and danced very happily.

Mu Xiang served tea, Zilan looked at her, she shook her head, meaning that she didn't know where the person went.

Zilan was not in a hurry, she took the tea and tasted it slowly, waiting for Zhang to come back to his senses.

After drinking a cup of tea, he stood up and tasted the painting with Zhang, and the two talked very speculatively.

Zilan didn't mean to let it happen on purpose, Zhang was really an expert, she said it very carefully, and she didn't notice some places, but she said it very well.

The more Zilan understood what kind of person this mother-in-law was, the more down-to-earth her heart became.

After chatting for a while, the maid still didn't come back, and after looking at the Western pocket watch, at least an hour passed.

"Mother, I'm going back, my father-in-law is about to go down, don't mention what I'm here to the maids today, and don't blame them when they come back."

Zhang Shi blinked, "Why, I haven't come back after this time, I should have said a word." ”

"Mother, if you believe me, listen to me, let's make a bet, they will definitely prepare everything before my father-in-law enters the door, if you don't believe it, you will see it later, you can believe me."

Zhang tilted his head and blinked, "You mean that they deceived their superiors and subordinates, they were afraid of your father-in-law, so they would pinch the time to rush back, and even knew that you came and deliberately ran out, which was bullying you." I didn't think of that. Outrageous. ”

She just doesn't know how to do general affairs, not stupid, on the contrary, she is very smart, otherwise how can she excel in calligraphy, painting and antiques, a fool can't do it.
