Su Xiaoman raised his eyes and said: "Tomorrow, a few of you will disguise yourself as businessmen and go to buy the items needed for the new house, we don't have many female envoys with us, choose a few more, remember to check the details!" ”

The four of them replied in unison, "Yes!" ”

All matters were ordered, and early the next morning one of the guards was sent to the palace with the deed receipt to obtain the key, and the other guard went to the labor market to find a few messengers to clean the new house, and the other two went to buy the necessary items in the house.

The next day, at noon

Su Xiaoman stood in front of the window, Pearl was waiting on the side, turned his head to Pearl and said, "You go to our new house now to see if there is anything missing, if there is anything missing, let the guards buy it again!" ”

"Yes!"

Pearl squatted down, turned and walked out of the chamber.

At this time, it was time to communicate with the innkeeper, and he could move out of the inn tomorrow, and it took some time to think about it, Su Xiaoman slowly walked downstairs to the counter.

"Boss, we're leaving tomorrow, you can continue to open this inn!"

In the face of Su Xiaoman suddenly saying that he wanted to leave, he didn't decide which day to leave when he negotiated before, but he just stayed for one day and paid one day's silver, and it was the first time that the guests of such a large bag inn had met, if they stayed for a few more days, the income would be more, and the boss was reluctant, but he couldn't help the guests.

The boss smiled reluctantly: "Madame, but you're going home?" ”

"Well, I bought a house the day before yesterday and I'm going to move!"

After speaking, he didn't have time to wait for the boss to respond, turned around and walked into Lu Wangshu's room, Grandma Pan was dressing Lu Wangshu who had just gotten up at this time, only to see his little face pink, raised his hand and rubbed his eyes and shouted: "Auntie!" ”

"Hmm." Su Xiaoman responded lightly and said to Grandma Pan: "Let's pack up our things today, let's go!" ”

"Madame is going back to the vicissitudes of life?"

Grandma Pan looked at her in amazement, thinking that she was going back to Canglan, but from the serious expression on Su Xiaoman's face, she guessed that it was obviously not, and Su Xiaoman didn't say much, only said: "No!" ”

It has been seven days since Lu Li left in the blink of an eye, and according to the spies, he has been hiding in Canglan and has not shown up, and he does not know how it is going.

At night, the shopkeeper instructed his cook to prepare a table of good dishes to entertain Su Xiaoman and others, and this dinner did not charge money, but as a gift for the last day of the inn.

Su Xiaoman is not a greedy person, after dinner, he returned to the room and said to Pearl: "You put five taels of silver in the room when we are ready to leave tomorrow morning, and it will be the silver for tonight's dinner." ”

Pearl didn't understand very much, tilted her head and asked, "Didn't the shopkeeper invite us to eat this meal?" Why do you still have to give silver? ”

Su Xiaoman glanced at her: "You, have you lost the money?" ”

Pearl Han laughed: "Madam, you are really generous, the slave and maid don't understand the reason for this, but the slave and maid know that you have your own reasons for doing things!" ”

"It's good to know, you can rest early tonight, and we'll move into the new house early tomorrow morning!"

Pearl squatted down: "That lady also rested earlier, and the slave and maid retired first!" ”

Su Xiaoman didn't have a peaceful rest this night, and a series of nightmares made her wake up from her sleep several times, and every time she could see Lu Li dragging her bloody body towards her, she suddenly opened her eyes, sweat had wet the bedding, Su Xiaoman woke up and got up from the bed tiredly.

The clothes on his body were already soaked, and he didn't care about the woman's understanding when he sat on the wooden board, so he directly picked up the teapot and poured a few sips of tea into his mouth, muttering to himself: "Husband, when will you come back!" ”

Tears instantly soaked her eyes, and she was afraid in her heart, afraid that he would never come back, afraid that he would be injured, afraid that he would be caught, and she didn't want him to have even a little injury.

Early in the morning, the sky was slightly bright, and after coming to Jiangnan for so many days, there was finally a day when it was not sunny, but the dark clouds covered the sun and it was about to rain hard, Su Xiaoman stood in front of the window in thin clothes, and Pearl came to the room with washing water as usual.

"Ma'am, are you going to wash up now?"

Su Xiaoman turned his head and responded softly, walked to the dresser to wash up, Pearl combed her hair in a bun, and looked at her very haggard face in the bronze mirror: "Madam, did you have another nightmare last night?" ”

"How do you know?"

Su Xiaoman looked at her in surprise, and Pearl chuckled: "The general told me before leaving, saying that you have been having nightmares recently, let me take care of you!" ”

She didn't speak, she just smiled reluctantly, the worry in her heart was even worse than before, Lu Li was so good to her, she even had to tell Pearl about nightmares.

After breakfast, the sky was getting darker and darker, and the innkeeper saw that the sky was not right, thinking that if he could stay for one more day, wouldn't it be enough to earn one more day's silver, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said to Su Xiaoman: "Mrs. Lu, it's going to rain heavily this day, won't it be inconvenient for you to go back to your new house at this time?" ”

Su Xiaoman naturally knew what the innkeeper was thinking, who didn't want to make a few more money, but he still decided to move into the new house as soon as possible even if it rained, after all, one more day in the inn would have to take the risk of one more day.

"Well, it's okay, we have carriages, out of the way!"

As she spoke, she glanced at the three carriages outside the door, and the innkeeper didn't say anything more when he saw that she was so decisive, so he retreated to the counter.

As the group was about to board the carriage, a few lightning bolts streaked through the sky, followed by several thunderbolts, which pierced through everyone's ears, and it was not long before heavy rain began to fall.

The innkeeper sighed at the counter: "Alas, this weather, if it doesn't rain, it will rain as if it will flood the entire Jiangnan City." ”

Seeing Su Xiaoman's frowning, the innkeeper hurriedly poked the boss's waist with her elbow, signaling him not to talk nonsense, and the boss who came back to his senses hurriedly explained: "It rains a lot when you go out!" ”

Although Su Xiaoman is not a person who likes to listen to flattering words, she felt that what the innkeeper said was very beautiful, and her face, which was originally as gloomy as the weather, instantly brightened, thinking that Lu Li was living a hard life in the vicissitudes of life, and now that she was in a place where she could settle down, what was there to be unhappy about.

The group got into the carriage and drove all the way to the auxiliary residence of Wei Yuan's palace, the main gate is only one hundred and ten steps away from the palace, although the gate looks very small and exquisite, but after entering, there is a lot of good.

The entrance is not the kind of verandah of ordinary people, but it is the main hall of hospitality that looks graceful and luxurious, there are large pear blossoms and bananas in the backyard, and there are two small wings for the cooks and cooks to live, and there are gaps in the backyard wall, flowing into the clear water, going around to the front yard, circling under the bamboo.

Su Xiaoman didn't look as happy as other women, but Lu Wangshu was very excited, he didn't hold Grandma Pan's hand all the way, and shouted in the yard: "Auntie, this is our new house, it's so beautiful, Auntie, you really have a vision!" ”

"If you like it!"

Su Xiaoman squatted down and said to Lu Wangshu, reached out and touched his little face, got up and took his hand into the main hall, and the group stood respectfully in front of the hall, Su Xiaoman sat on the pear blossom wooden chair and talked eloquently.

The placement of everyone is evenly distributed, the main courtyard Zhaoranxuan is of course inhabited by Su Xiaoman and Lu Li, Pearl lives in the side room of Zhaoranxuan, the auxiliary courtyard Chang Xiju in the south is inhabited by Lu Li and Pan Grandma and others, the Linglong Pavilion in the east is reserved for important guests to live, and the guards arrange a wing room close to Chang Xiju as their resting place.

After assigning everything, Su Xiaoman returned to Zhaoranxuan to check carefully, after all, those messengers will not use all their hearts to clean, they will still be a little lazy, and they never thought that the house was clean and tidy, and it was very bright.

After inspecting Zhao Ranxuan, he went to Chang Xiju to take a look, and finally walked to the backyard and saw the different color on the wall of the backyard, which realized that this house was originally divided from the prince's mansion, and there was originally an arch as a connection to the entire palace, but now it has been sealed, and the wall has been heightened, and a door has been opened on the side of the backyard to facilitate the delivery of food and other miscellaneous things in the house.

Everyone was busy for a day and had a little leisure, and before they could breathe down, Pearl came to Zhaoran Xuan with four female envoys to prepare for Su Xiaoman to give them a distributement.

"Madam, the female envoy of the guards is here, what do you think will be arranged?"

Training newcomers is also a headache, the background is naturally not to worry about, and Su Xiaoman has always been very relieved to do the security work.

Walking out of the room, I saw that one of the girls was about thirteen or fourteen years old, she had not yet changed into the clothes of a maid, and she was standing trembling in front of her with tattered clothes, whether she was still trembling, and she didn't know what to do with her hands in front of her, while the other three were more indifferent, bowing their heads and waiting for the dispatch.

Pearl moved a stool for Su Xiaoman.

Su Xiaoman stared at the little girl who was trembling slightly, glanced at the others and waved her hand, and Pearl said clearly: "Let's start with the first one on the left to introduce yourself, what is your name, and what kind of work will you do!" ”

"If Mrs. Hui is concerned, the slave maid is called Liuli, she can cook kitchen meals, and she has worked with the chef of Yuxianglou for three years!"

The first girl looked fair, dressed more quietly, seeing that her appearance was a little like Wang Youhe, but she didn't look like a rude person, considering that the kitchen lady and the man were enough, so Su Xiaoman did not arrange it, and said: "Well, okay!" ”

"Back to Mrs. Hui's words, the slave maid is called Yingge, and she has been a companion to the previous lady, so she knows a few words!"

The second girl looks well-behaved and exquisite, her voice is like her name, and she has a bookish atmosphere, which is suitable for Lu Wangshu to read, but Su Xiaoman still has doubts.
