Chapter 137: Residence

"Hmm." Yuan Tianye returned to his previous faint appearance. There was a snort in his nose, and there was no smile on his face, and he walked straight inside.

The woman's eyes were all on Yuan Tianye, and she didn't see Lin Xiaozhu standing behind Yuan Shi, she followed Yuan Tianye inside with a smile on her face, and greeted her with a warm greeting in her mouth.

Yuan Tianye took two steps, but he didn't hear the brisk footsteps behind him, so he couldn't help but stop, turned around and looked at Lin Xiaozhu.

The woman followed Yuan Tianye's gaze, only to find that in addition to Yuan Shi in the car, there was also a girl with a beautiful face, and she couldn't help but stiffen the smile on her face, and raised her head to look at Yuan Tianye with an inquiring gaze.

Yuan Tianye ignored her. Seeing Lin Xiaozhu helping Yuan Shi with his luggage, he turned around with confidence and entered the door.

Facing a green glazed tile roof, Sumeru shadow wall, hollow carved in the middle of the waves, three fairy mountains surrounded by clouds and mist, a small boat haunts the sea of clouds and fog, this shadow wall seems to be often wiped by people, looks clean and clean, very often exquisite. Under the shadow wall are several pots of lush flowers and trees, and the branches of the pine potted plants are strong, which makes the shadow wall even more extraordinary.

Turning the shadow wall, there is an ordinary courtyard, with a dark red vermilion lacquer wooden corridor, connecting the east, west and north buildings. A small stream crosses the front of the courtyard, and after turning around in the pond on the side of the courtyard, it heads northwest. Dozens of lotus flowers bloom in the pool, and a fragrance floats in the air.

Lin Xiaozhu followed Yuan Shi, walked through the blue brick path in the middle of the courtyard, walked across the Jinshui Bridge, and then passed through the halls of the first and second entrances, and walked all the way inside.

The woman who followed Yuan Tianye saw that Lin Xiaozhu was still following into the inner courtyard. And Yuan Tianye still didn't say anything to let her go down, and finally couldn't hold her breath and said, "Childe, which courtyard do you think you want to arrange for the girl who followed Yuan Shi to?" ”

Yuan Tianye didn't stop at all, until he entered the main hall of the third courtyard, then turned around and sat down, and said to the middle-aged fat man: "Lin Xiaozhu is my special cook." I remember there was a small courtyard next to this courtyard, so let her live there. He pointed to the fat man and said to Lin Xiaozhu: "This is Steward Zhang, what do you have to do in the future, whether you will receive ingredients or what you are missing." Just look for him. ”

"Yes." Steward Zhang bowed down and motioned to Yuan Tianye, turned around and beckoned to a mother-in-law standing aside, "Mama Wu, you take Lin Xiaozhu to the small cross courtyard." ”

Lin Xiaozhu handed the burden to Yuan Shi and gave Yuan Tianye a salute. followed Wu's mother and retreated.

Going out through the corner gate next to it, through a small alley, another door entered. A small courtyard appeared in front of Lin Xiaozhu. Although the yard is small, there is a rockery in the middle, and the rockery is verdant; There is also a jujube tree planted next to it, and the small green jujube hangs on the branches. It's hilarious.

Lin Xiaozhu fell in love with this courtyard as soon as he saw it, and asked, "Mama Wu." Who else lives here in this courtyard but me? ”

Mama Wu is a middle-aged woman in her forties, with a dignified and beautiful appearance, elegant manners, and a kind expression. At this time, when he asked, he smiled slightly and said, "Childe likes to be quiet, not like many people." Therefore, although this house is large, there are not many people living in it. In addition to you and me, there are only about a dozen subordinates. This small cross-courtyard was not inhabited before. When the girl came, she lived with the girl. ”

One person lives in one yard!

I remembered the dormitory where several people were crowded together in the mountain villa. Looking at this quiet courtyard again, Lin Xiaozhu was overjoyed. Although she didn't like the atmosphere of the main hall just now, at least the place where she stayed was very satisfying. In the future, you can practice as much as you want. No more interruptions from others.

Lin Xiaozhu knows that interpersonal relationships are very important, which is related to the happiness of life in the future. He bowed to Mama Wu: "Just now you said that there are more than a dozen subordinates in this house, I don't know who they are?" I was a newcomer and didn't know anything, for fear of accidentally bumping into someone. Please also ask Mama Wu to give more advice. Xiaozhu is not talented, but the dishes and snacks can still be eaten. Today, thanks to Mama Wu's care, I cleaned up the banquet one day to thank Mama Wu. ”

Mama Wu held her and said, "Girl, please get up quickly, it's just to introduce some information, that is, I don't say that the girl will know in the future, and I don't dare to thank the girl, and as for the banquet or something, I don't dare to do it." ”

Lin Xiaozhu looked at the standard smile on Mama Wu's face, and couldn't help but feel a little weak. This Mama Wu has seen the world at a glance, and naturally she will not be like an aunt in the mountains, smile sweetly at her, say a few good words and pat a few sycophants, and she will be able to dig out her heart and lungs. It seems that in the future, there is a long way to go in interpersonal relationships, and we have to work hard.

Mama Wu walked forward and said, "The one who the prince ordered to give you the yard just now is Steward Zhang. He is in charge of all the big and small affairs in the house. When Childe was away, he was in charge of everything in the family. The one who went out with him to welcome the son into the door was the girl who listened to the rain. Listening to the rain girl is the personal servant of the son, and she has grown up serving the son since she was a child. In addition to her, there are also two little girls who serve the son, snow sweeping and picking up the sun, and they are all under my control. Yuan Shi is known to the girl, so I won't talk about it. In the small kitchen, there are Lao Wang, Ma Pozi and Li Pozi. In the future, when you cook, you have to work with them. In addition, there are also Uncle Zhou and Sister-in-law Zhou who are in charge of the big kitchen; Their two sons, one eighteen years old and one sixteen years old, are named Zhou Qing and Zhou Yun respectively, and they are in charge of the flowers and trees in the house; Wang Pozi and Zhang's sister-in-law who do laundry and needlework; Two old men doing rough work. ”

Lin Xiaozhu counted them, and secretly said to himself. Count them at random, and there are seventeen subordinates. In Mama Wu's mouth, this is still the simplest. The ancient boy brother is really **.

"Come, let's go in and have a look." Mama Wu walked to the door, took out the key, and opened the door.

Facing it is a small hall, a table of eight immortals, four stools, and a desk. On the left and right are wings. Mama Wu opened the door of the wing room on the left and said, "In the future, you will live in this room." ”

Although the furnishings inside are simple, there is only a carved wooden bed, a square table at the head of the bed, a kitchen by the wall, a round table and a few round stools in the center. But it's clean and tidy, and it's obviously a lot of cleaning. It's just that the bed is bare, and there's nothing.

Sure enough, Mama Wu explained: "Childe likes to be clean, no matter whether there is anyone living in it or not, all the yards and rooms are required to be cleaned." This yard was cleaned only yesterday, and you can bring your things in a while, spread the bedding and mosquito nets, and you can live in. ”

After speaking, he pointed out the well in the courtyard, the bathing place and the latrine not far from the courtyard to Lin Xiaozhu, and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to get the bunk cover." ”

As soon as the words fell, I heard a crisp voice outside the door: "Mama Wu, Steward Zhang instructed me to send the cover to Miss Xiaozhu." ”

Obviously this is very unconventional. Mama Wu glanced at Lin Xiaozhu in surprise, and then smiled: "Come in." ”

Immediately afterwards, a thirteen- or four-year-old girl with a round face and round eyes came in with a stack of things taller than her head, and said with a smile: "Mama Wu, something is here." ”

Lin Xiaozhu hurriedly stepped forward, took most of the things, walked into the room and put the things down, and said, "Thank you for your hard work." ”

"No thanks." The little girl laughed with two dimples on her face, and her round face was as ruddy and lovely as an apple.

"She's the snow sweeper." Mama Wu introduced on the side. Then he said, "You can sort out these covers yourself." Childe has just come back, and there are still many things to do, so let's go back. ”

"Thank you, Mama Wu, thank you for clearing the snow." Lin Xiaozhu sent them out, fetched a bucket of water and put it in the sun to dry, and then returned to the room and looked at the things one by one. I found that these things were all new, and the quilt still smelled of the sun, apparently it had only been long since it was sunburned. She hung up the blue flower tent with satisfaction, placed the mats and quilts one by one, and looked at the room that had become popular because of the cover, and was very satisfied.

After making the bed and going out to touch the water in the westerly sun was not so cold, Lin Xiaozhu ran to the room again to pick up his little baggage, and was extremely glad that he was about to take a bath before leaving the villa, and he happened to bring all the clothes with him. Otherwise, in this big summer, she didn't take a bath for two days, and she traveled a long distance, so she didn't sweat much, and she was uncomfortable.

"Little bamboo girl." The sound of snow clearing came from outside the door again.

"Snowplow, come in." Lin Xiaozhu greeted him out.

Xue Qingxue walked in and handed Lin Xiaozhu a burden in his hand: "Mama Wu said, you are about the same size as Tingyu." This is the summer coat that was just made for her, and it hasn't been sent down yet, and it hasn't been put on before, so you wear it first. I'll make you two more tomorrow. ”

"No, no, I brought clothes and I have clothes to wear." When Lin Xiaozhu heard that it was someone else's clothes, he refused to accept them. Seeing that Qingxue was embarrassed, she said again: "You go back and tell Mama Wu that since this is a dress made for Miss Tingyu, it is not good for me to wear it." Anyway, I have clothes to wear now. If Mother Wu wants to give me clothes, then let's wait until tomorrow to do it. ”

"That'...... All right. Xue Qing hesitated for a moment and went out with his baggage.

This is a slave, and time is not up to anyone. As long as there is something to call, you have to go. So Lin Xiaozhu didn't dare to delay any longer, took his clothes, went to the bathroom and took a quick shower and washed his hair.

As soon as she soaked her clothes in the bucket, she swept the snow and entered the door again, saying, "Little bamboo girl, the son told you to go." ”

"Here we are." Lin Xiaozhu combed his hair three times and twice, tied his half-wet hair in a ponytail behind him with a head rope, and followed the snow sweep to the main courtyard.

Obviously, Yuan Tianye has also bathed. Dressed in a blue robe and loosely draped in hair, he was sitting in the hall drinking tea. At a glance, he saw that Lin Xiaozhu was still wearing the cyan dress when he was in the villa, and couldn't help frowning, and said to Tingyu, who was standing aside: "Didn't I tell Mama Wu to ask her to give Lin Xiaozhu clothes?" How? Can't even find a single piece of clothing at home? (To be continued)
