Under the leadership of Chaoyun Bangxue, Ruqing and the girls she brought walked to the backyard.

The General's Mansion covers a wide area, and it takes a cup of tea to walk all the way from the front yard to the back yard. I also met many slaves along the way, and when I saw Ruqing, they all stopped and looked at Ruqing curiously.

Ruqing frowned, but didn't say anything, passed through the weeping flower gate, passed through the Yi gate, looked at the row of green bamboo houses in front of her, looked at Chaoyun followed her gaze, and said with a smile: "Girl, this is our general's residence." ”

Ruqing said "oh", paused to take a look, and saw two rows of straight green bamboos under the shade, and the courtyard gate was written in black thin characters with three big characters "Xuanzhuwan". The courtyard door was closed, and it was impossible to see the famous hall inside, and only the dense trees could be faintly seen from outside the five-foot-high stone brick wall.

"Is this my brother's residence?" Ruqing said crisply, her eyes swept around Chaoyun Bangxue's face again, and asked again, "Do the two sisters-in-law also live inside?" ”

Chaoyun was about to answer, but Bang Xue had already interjected, "The master likes to be quiet and doesn't like to be disturbed." So Chaoyun and I both live in the other courtyard. Ji Xue pointed to the small courtyard next to the back of "Xuan Zhuwan", "Girl, Chaoyun and I live in this courtyard." But on weekdays, most of them stay in front, or in the old man's house. ”

Ruqing nodded and smiled slowly: "The second brother has two sisters-in-law by his side to serve carefully, so I can rest assured." Ruqing thanked the two sisters-in-law here first. ”

"The girl has an overreputation, and it is my duty to wait for the master. How to talk about thanks? However, the girl has a deep love for the old brother and sister, but it is quite envious of us. Chaoyun smiled and said to Ruqing: "Girl, go further, turn the corner, and go around the other end of the cloister, which is the residence prepared by the master for the girl himself. ”

As if the head was clear, he passed through the corridor of holding hands, and then turned left, and sure enough, a small and delicate house appeared on the eyelids.

This courtyard is called "Linlang Garden", if you enter Yuanzi in the sunshine, it is the Huapu of Nuoda, and on both sides is the bluestone slab five feet wide against the wall, and the ground is the passage to the inner hall. Bypassing Huapu, the three rows of houses in front of the Pinzi Regulation Bureau are the inner hall in the middle, the flower hall on the left, and the ear room and small dining room on the right. In the middle of the two halls are two rows of potted plants, many of which are not even recognized by Ruqing, and there is a patio behind the hall, and in the middle through the corridor, there are three rows of main houses.

There is only one door open in the main room, open the thick felt, enter the house, behind a floor-to-ceiling pear wood screen on the left, is the Huanghuali marble table case, the case is stacked with various celebrity letters, and various color pen holders, several square treasure inkstones. On the side of the wall is a large mahogany bookshelf with thick books on the shelf, a chair with a backrest and a pedal next to the bookshelf, and a long table with bright red lacquer. On the other wall hangs a picture of "Smoke and Rain", and a couplet is hung on the left and right, which is the ink of Mrs. Wei. There is a big case at the bottom, there is a fragrant tripod on it, and a Rujiao beauty is placed on the sandalwood frame on the side, and there is a bunch of plum blossoms inserted in it, which is blooming brightly at the moment, and a wisp of fragrance seems to be stringed into the nose.

Chaoyun introduced with a smile: "Girl, this is the study room that the master personally arranged for you." Is the girl satisfied with it? ”

Ruqing smiled: "Second brother is so good. The two sisters-in-law must have put a lot of effort into it. But in her heart, she slandered that such a dignified study room was probably of little use to her, and it was a pure waste.

Bang Xue said: "The girl's living room is at the other end, the girl went over to take a look, if there is anything dissatisfied, just mention it to me, and I will tell the people below to do it." ”

Ruqing glanced at her and smiled: "My sister-in-law is a character personally selected by my grandmother to serve my second brother, and it must be all-encompassing, and my sister-in-law will be the main person in the room, how can I not come." I look good, so let's leave it at that. ”

After Chaoyun Bangxue left, Agarwood Linglong, Yuqin, Waiting, Lan Yin, Qingluan, Peach, and Green Willow began to divide their labor, and returned the cages that came in one by one. In the front yard, Zhiyi was instructing the adjutant general to select some powerful people in the army to come to the general's palace and guard the inner courtyard.

And when Bang Xue Chaoyun entered the inner hall, he wondered and asked, "Master, where is Lord Jing?" ”

Zhiyi replied, "Gone." ”

Bang Xue was surprised, "Leaving so soon?" It's just a matter of time---"

Zhiyi's voice was faint, "I let him go." ”

"This, why did the master let him go? The concubine also wanted to ask King Jing to stay for dinner, and the kitchen was ordered to go down, and made King Jing's favorite food bear's paw---"

Zhiyi interrupted her unhappily, "From now on, when King Jing comes to our house, he only needs to pour tea and wait, and nothing else matters." ”

Bang Xue was shocked, "The lord and the prince of Jing have always been good friends, and it is too --- to treat guests like this."

Zhiyi suddenly flicked his sleeves and said coldly: "In this mansion, you have the final say, or do I have the final say?" ”

Bang Xue hurriedly bowed her head and said, "Of course, the master has the final say, but, master, the concubine is also for ---"

"Has Ruqing settled down?"

"The concubine has already led the four girls to Linlang Garden."

"Then why didn't you stay and help clean up the house?"

Bang Xue was stunned and aggrieved, "The old man has been busy with border locks all day long, and he is busy and confused." As early as half a month ago, Linlang Garden had been cleaned up, and this time it was just waiting for the four girls to move in. ”

"The cage brought by Ruqing, as well as her maids-in-law, have you settled down?"

"This ---- concubine thinks that there is a distinguished guest in the palace, and she is bent on entertaining King Jing first, as for the four girls, they are all from their own families, and they are not in a hurry to settle down later---"

"Is dinner ready?" Zhiyi interrupted her again and asked lightly.

Bang Xue couldn't react for a while, her eyes were sluggish, and when Chaoyun saw this, her heart was stunned. hurriedly replied, "Back to the master, dinner is ready." Master, can you start dinner? Then he secretly pulled Xue's sleeve and motioned for her to tighten her skin.

"I don't know if the fourth sister has done it there--- forget it, I'll go over and take a look." As he spoke, he was about to go to the inner courtyard, but Bang Xue hurriedly stopped him, and by the way, he also shook off Chaoyun's hand, and said, "Master, the concubine of the fourth girl has already called a few girls to help, and it is expected that there is no big problem." Master, the weather is cold, the food is very cold, the master still has dinner while it is hot, and rests early, and the affairs of the four girls are decided by the concubine. ”

Zhiyi turned his head suddenly, staring at her with blazing eyes, "You are in charge?" ”

Bang Xue smiled charmingly, "Master, the four girls came from afar, and the one who came again is a guest, and the concubine will be able to let the next person serve, please rest assured that the lord is." ”

Zhiyi stared at her for a while, and suddenly sneered: "Who said that the fourth sister is a guest?" ”
