Chapter 352: Settle down
Settling down in Guangzhou made Ding Rou very busy, the mansion was empty, and it was renovated according to the usual practice before Yin Chengshan arrived, and the courtyard of Wujin was neatly tied, and there was a stream and a lake in the backyard, and there was no shortage of everything that could be enjoyed. Ding Rou did not change the layout of the mansion, rearranged the residence, and arranged the aunt in the courtyard with the best location of huā and grass.
She can't do without the newly bought Xiaohong for a moment recently, and with Xiaohong's company, she dared to make requests to Ding Rou and dared to speak. In order to buy Xiaoxiaohong, she almost knelt down for Ding Rou.
"My aunt settled earlier, and if you need anything, tell me." Ding Rou said goodbye to her aunt, Xiaohong bowed her knees, Ding Rou swept her eyes before going out, was the fate of her previous life? Seeing that my aunt is not cramped and uneasy, there is Xiaohong Chapter 352 An family is really different, so it's also very good.
"Congratulations to the fourth grandmother." Xiaohong's voice was cool, and Ding Rou smiled: "You are so good to serve your aunt, I will not treat you badly." ”
"Yes, Fourth Grandma."
Ding Rou left slowly, Xiaohong opened the curtain and returned to her aunt, "What else are you worried about?" The fourth grandmother is a filial person. ”
The aunt's lips moved, and her watery eyes showed a bit of struggle and fear, no matter how stupid she was, she could understand that the matter of Luo Fengshan was not accidental, Ding Rou even guessed the emperor's thoughts, but she didn't dare to talk to Xiaohong, Yin Chengshan explained the matter of Luo Fengshan to her stomach, she sighed: "She is not only filial, but also very smart, who can't compare to her, but my wife always says that Hui Ji will be hurt... She didn't have any scruples at all, once the fourth young master... It's not good, she can take the fourth young master..."
"How?" Xiaohong handed over the teacup, "The fourth grandmother will never do anything sorry for the fourth young master." The slave maid looked at the fourth grandmother and attached great importance to the fourth young master. ”
"That's it, that's it."
She took a sip of tea, took Xiaohong's hand and said, "The first time I saw you, it was like seeing me at the beginning, you are also a filial and sensible person." I will not treat you badly in the future, and I respect the fourth grandmother. Don't offend Chapter 352 Settle down with her, for the sake of seeing that I gave birth to the fourth young master, as long as the fourth young master guards her. She'll give me some face. But you... Xiaohong, I don't want to hurt you, remember to stay away from her. ”
"Look at what you said, the slave only recognizes you in her heart, and a bunch of mothers and girls around the fourth grandmother follow, the slave and the maid are your people, and you don't have to serve the four ***."
"That's good, that's good."
Ding Rou returned to the main room. Sitting on a chaise longue by the window, he took out the account book from the table next to him and calculated, and a mansion was propped up. It was not enough for them to bring these people, and on the second day she arrived, she asked for a few girls. Xiaowu, I want to know that I dare to test Yin Chengshan on the street, and these spies will naturally be sent over, Ding Rou didn't let them sign the death deed, Xiao En Xiaohui is not familiar with it, she never expected to move the spies with kindness.
She just asked Mother Qi to teach them the unique rules of the Yin Mansion, listing them all one by one, and if they committed it, they would be punished and not set up, but in fact, their husband and wife really had nothing to inquire about.
"Four grandmothers... Little red her? ”
Ding Rou looked at the account book, the room was lit with her favorite jasmine scent, and the furniture was arranged according to her preferences. ”
"Just the timing of her appearance? The fourth young master just came to Guangzhou, he should know everything, is there someone who reports the news? Mother Wang bowed down and said.
Ding Rou looked at the account book, continued to turn the page to calculate the expenses, although she received a lot of gifts and rituals along the way, but everywhere she went, she also had to exchange gifts, and she couldn't empty the gloves of the white wolf, and there was still a slight balance after accounting, but fortunately she bought a bunch of specialties in the capital.
"Fourth grandma."
"The news must have leaked, but it doesn't have to be Xiaohong." Ding Rou never believed that what happened on the street that day was a coincidence, "I don't know if she is credible, but I dare to guarantee that she was not the one who leaked the news of our visit to Guangzhou." She served her aunt with all her heart, and it didn't hurt to keep it. ”
"There are so many pairs of eyes in the house, my aunt can't leave her for a moment, as long as she is allowed to eat and eat, nothing else will be the turn of the big girl next to my aunt."
Mother Wang let go of her brows, there are too few things that the big girl around her aunt can do, no wonder the fourth grandmother offered to give the little red girl a monthly money, and the fourth grandmother tied her to the aunt's side, "The new little girl..."
"My aunt has a soft temperament, she is impatient and annoying, and she is afraid of approaching people she doesn't know, so the mother who originally brought her over arranged for her aunt first, and when I teach the new girl the rules, I will go to my aunt's side."
"Fourth grandmother, it's really wise."
Ding Rou put down the account book, looked at Wang's mother and smiled, Wang's mother said knowingly: "It's time for news to come to the capital, the letter is always faster than us." ”
"I don't know when the county lord of Anyang will leave Beijing, I have received the favor of His Royal Highness the county lord, once she comes to Guangzhou, I will be..."
"The journey from the capital to Guangzhou is far away, and there is a cold winter in the sky, and Her Royal Highness the Concubine may leave the county lord of Anyang until the beginning of spring next year." Wang's mother pinched her fingers and counted the months.
"There is a letter to the fourth grandmother in the capital."
Lan Xin opened the curtain and entered the door, and sent a few letters, Ding Rou went to Guangzhou on the same day to send the letter to the capital, they arrived safely, the family letter was faster than she expected, Ding Rou opened the letter, it was written by Mrs. Tai herself, Ding Rou's eyes had a little more warmth, and after reading the letter, Ding Rou said: "The most scarce manpower is almost here." ”
"Is it Mrs. Tai?"
"Well, my grandmother gave me a few more rooms."
Ding Rou read the letter again and again, Mrs. Tai explained how she got along with the officials and their families, how to arrange the banquet, and gave her the most scarce manpower, not letting her leave the capital with her, but then assigned over, I expected that Yin Chengshan, who was worried about the lack of credible people, would be grateful to her and Mrs. Tai.
'Virtuous help is not only a housekeeper to raise children, six girls, going out to socialize also has a mystery, listen more, see more, be careful, except for these grandmothers have nothing to teach you, remember to be strong and easy to break, wisdom will hurt... You are not alone, you have to discuss with your husband more things, and it is inevitable to socialize in the officialdom, Guangzhou is a place of luxury and wealth, and there are many Qinglou painting boats, you have to distinguish clearly, what is acting on the spot. ’
Ding Rou's eyes were moist, Mrs. Tai didn't say these words when she left the capital, because she was afraid that she wouldn't listen to them, and when she arrived in Guangzhou, she saw the complicated situation, and Mrs. Tai said again, she would think about it for a few more days, "Do you want to play on the spot?" But I really don't like it. ”
This is not a mistake of principle, she will never have Yin Chengshan to quarrel at this time. Lan Xin said again: "Fourth grandmother, the invitation to the wife of Guangzhou has been written, when do you think it will be sent?" ”
"I'll wait until I meet the wife of the Governor of Liangguang."
Ding Rou asked Lan Xin to put away the letters, she will look at them again when she is fine, Ding Rou looked at the printed invitations carefully, each one was carefully read, she got up and sat in front of the bookcase, spread out the invitations, Lan Xin helped to polish the ink, Ding Rou will write the invitation in person, the unique invitation card exudes a faint fragrance of jasmine, leaving a few lines of delicate handwriting, fortunately, she practiced calligraphy with Mrs. Ding, or if she didn't write the invitation, she would be looked down upon.
After writing the invitation, Ding Rou sealed it, "Before sending it away, Lan Xin, you read it again, if there is anything wrong, be careful." ”
"Got it, Fourth Grandma."
It's not that Ding Rou is cautious, it's Yin Chengshan who told her to hold a banquet, it's to explore the way, and she has found a breakthrough. Yin Chengshan has already gone to the prefect's yamen to handle official business, and from the face he looks like when he comes back every night, he is not working very well. Although he is the prefect of Guangzhou, but the yamen has a set of established rules, he wants to break the need to be connections, now the governor of Liangguang has left, Guangzhou officialdom is evaluating him who became famous at a young age, and his past reputation alone may not be able to impress people.
Ding Rou thought to herself, I hope she can see something at the banquet, Yin Chengshan, who returned home at night, smiled a little reluctantly, Ding Rou didn't ask much, gave him cloth vegetables, personally served him to freshen up, and in the hanging curtain, Ding Rou was tightly held in his arms... He is not a person who gives up when there is a setback, but no one is frustrated and nothing to do, he is not a person who is angry with his wife, he was once high-spirited and came to Guangzhou, only to understand how much luck he can get to the top, not that he is not able to bear the ability, but the old foxes of officialdom are all tested for a long time, and he is a little immature when he first enters the political arena.
"When I was in the capital, I thought I was outstanding and had nothing to miss, but now I know that without His Majesty's maintenance and master's care, I would never have been so smooth."
"I thought it was the way to go through the experience, the experience."
"The elders of the DPRK and China will not be as knowledgeable as my juniors."
Ding Rou heard his anger and said, "I thought this was a inheritance." ”
"Legacy?" Yin Chenshan raised his wife's smiling face, "What inheritance?" ”
Ding Rou's eyes were full of smiles: "You are amazing, but you feel that it is difficult to move an inch in the officialdom, and they are not all from ignorance and youth to sleek and mature wrists, and to old scheming?" At the beginning, they may not have suffered less grievances than you, and some people always say that a daughter-in-law of a thousand years has become a mother-in-law..."
Yin Chengshan chuckled: "You mean that it is difficult to trust the inheritance of officials?" So I have to thank them for the experience they gave me? ”
"Those who can't get through it are mostly among the crowds." Ding Rou blinked at him and asked softly: "In the future, you can also make things difficult for your juniors, but you won't suffer." ”
He was in a good mood, as long as he thought that the old foxes who made him slippery and slippery now had also been troubled at the beginning, Yin Chengshan felt a lot less depressed in his chest, "You are so sure that I will have the opportunity to make things difficult for my juniors in the future?" ”
Ding Rou rolled her eyes, as if he had asked a very idiotic question, closed her eyes and said, "I didn't say it to you, I will meet the old fox's wife tomorrow." ”
"Xiaorou, will you..."
"No, I also have to accumulate experience, don't worry, I won't suffer any grievances, as long as you are stable, I will be stable!!."
