Chapter 207: The Master of the Inner Courtyard

Seeing that Mama Song agreed to her request, Xin Nu nodded with satisfaction, and unconsciously stroked one hand on the colored satin. The colored satin is made of high-quality silk after more than 100 processes, and it is already woven with patterns, smooth and dazzling.

Xin Nu's good hand suddenly stopped, and a trace of sourness flashed between her eyebrows.

Mama Song looked down and saw that a filament had been hooked up in the place where Xin Woman's good hand had been caressed.

"It's a pity that such a good ruler." Xin Nu sighed, withdrew her hand, sat down to the side, and looked out the window, silently distracted.

The girl with golden branches and jade leaves, but her hands are rough like this, even an ordinary embroidery girl is not as good, and Mama Song's heart seems to have been cut by a knife.

"Girl, don't be sad, this ruler is not good, we don't want her." Mama Song's eyes were full of tears again.

The Xin woman turned around, but comforted Mama Song.

"Auntie, don't do this, I'm already fine. Now that Brother Xiao Qi is here, there will be Brother Xiao Qi and Aunt in the future, am I still afraid that I will not have a good life? ”

"Yes, yes," Mama Song nodded again and again, "The girl is right, the girl's blessing is behind." ”

There was the sound of gold and silver bells talking outside, and it turned out that Xun Qingran sent someone to measure the size of the Xin woman and make clothes.

The person who came was the steward of the needlework room, and was called Gu Damiang.

Mama Song let Aunt Gu in. Aunt Gu measured the size of the Xin woman, and asked the Xin woman what style of dress she was.

"Auntie just choose a cheap style to do." The Xin woman is good.

Aunt Gu got Xun Qingran's order to be more careful here, so she smiled and said a few styles to Xin Nuhao, all of which are popular in Beijing.

"It's up to my aunt." The Xin woman smiled and bowed her head when she heard this.

Aunt Gu saluted and hugged her head down.

Mama Song watched from the side, and the Xin woman behaved nobly and generously, and she couldn't help but feel proud in her heart. Although he has suffered for several years, that background and upbringing is in his bones, and he can't erase it.

Thinking like this, Mama Song looked at the furnishings in this room again, and felt that she was a little unworthy of Mrs. Xin. I began to think about it,

This Xinlan Courtyard is too far away from the main courtyard, too far from the main courtyard, and the two girls are still young, so they just bought it, so they are afraid that it will not be easy. And although this Aunt Gu is good, two days ago, Xun Qingran made clothes for the girls around her, but she also invited the best tailor in the city, which was lively and decent, and ordinary young ladies couldn't compare. Moreover, the woman only came, but Xun Qingran deliberately assigned her a lot of errands, but she didn't entrust her with the affairs of Xinlan Courtyard.

Can't let the woman suffer a loss as soon as she moves in, so let the people in this house look down on her, the woman should have better treatment, some things are inconvenient for the woman to say, but she can't look at it.

Mama Song made up her mind, so she instructed Jin Ling and Yin Ling to take care of Xin Nu Hao and come out of Xinlan Courtyard.

Qi You came back from outside, and as soon as he entered the second gate, he was stopped by Mama Song.

…………

Xun Qingran was talking to Mama Xu and the others in the house, when she saw Qi You walking in from outside.

Mama Xu led people to greet Qi Yu with a salute.

"Why did the fourth master come back so early today?" Xun Qingran stood up and greeted Qi You to sit on the couch.

"The yamen has nothing to do, so I came back early." Qi Yu said, taking off the big hat outside.

Xun Qingran took the big dye in his hand, handed it to the malt and put it away.

"The woman is good over there, but it's all settled?" Qi You asked.

Coming back so early, wouldn't it be because I was worried about the good of Xin Women, this thought flashed in Xun Qing's mind.

Xun Qingran glanced at Qi You's face, waved his hand to let the people waiting in the room retreat, and poured another cup of hot tea and handed it to Qi You.

"The fourth master left early in the morning, and he was about to discuss this matter with the fourth master." Xun Qingran sat down beside Qi You and said, "Mama Song is narrow there, how to treat guests?" I looked at these courtyards in our house, only Xinlan Courtyard was clean and elegant, quite a bit of the pattern of Jiangnan gardens, which I liked very much, so I arranged for the good girl to live there. The furnishings over there are also according to the specifications of a few girls in our house......"

Xun Qingran told Qi Yu about how to settle the Xin woman.

Qi You held the teacup in his hand thoughtfully, and did not speak for a long time.

Xun Qingran turned his head, poured himself tea and took a sip. There was already a girl handing in the news, and as soon as Qi Yu entered the door, he was stopped by Mama Song and said something for a long time. Looking at Qi You's face when he came in, he was afraid that what Mama Song said was not a good thing.

Xun Qingran thinks that her good arrangements for Xin women are not leaky, but she can't forget that there is no excuse for the crime she wants to add, and many people are good at picking bones in eggs.

Xun Qingran knocked lightly on the table, bringing Qi You back to his senses, "The fourth master only asked me to settle the good woman and girl, and refused to make it clear to me, I only had to figure out what the fourth master meant. Fourth master, there are few officials and families in our house, there are many people talking about the affairs of the good girl, the fourth master and I are not willing to say more, since I don't plan to publicize it, I just want to place the good woman and the girl a little farther away, so as not to disturb the good woman and the girl who come to visit. Xinlan Courtyard is a first-class place in the house, and it was originally intended to be left for our aunt and grandmother in Qi Mansion to live in. Xun Qingran looked at Qi You's face and continued, "There are also candidates to serve good women, I really have a headache." The ones brought from the house are naturally good, but I am afraid that they will not be tight-lipped, and they will chase the wind and shadows in the capital, adding to their troubles, and finally choose two girls who were bought from outside and have a clean net worth. ”

She has put a lot of thought into these arrangements.

"The fourth master refuses to say anything about the good girl, so I won't ask. If the fourth master wants to live up to the trust of others, I will naturally entertain women and girls, and in addition, I can't help but think more about our family. Xun Qingran lowered his eyes and sighed.

Qi You put down the teacup, looked at Xun Qingran's face a little lonely, and felt a softness in his heart.

There are some things that he can't talk to Xun Qingran, so he only lets Xun Qingran treat Xin women well. Xun Qingzhi is a good person, he knows in his heart, he is not the kind of mean woman who is childish. Just now, Mama Song stopped him, hinting that Xinlan Courtyard was in a remote location and that the number of good maids arranged for Xin Woman was sparse, and he only thought that Xun Qingran was negligent.

Xun Qingran sniffed out from his words that Xin Nuhao's identity was special, and she thought so far-reachingly, so exhausted, which moved him.

"If the fourth master thinks that my arrangement is inappropriate, just give me another command." Xun Qingran said again.

"No, that's fine, I'm relieved to leave the affairs of the family to you." Qi You said, "You don't have to be so careful, believe me, I know these things, and there will be no trouble." ”

Xun Qingran glanced at Qi You, Qi You looked like she was in her chest, she didn't bother to worry about it, as long as Qi You approved her policy of placing Xin Nu well, she had to do this for now.

“…… I don't know the preferences of a good woman, maybe there is something inconsiderate, I have already instructed Mama Song not to wronged a good girl. ”

"That's a good thing you do." Qi You nodded, thinking in his heart that Mama Song's words had a narrow vision, and she was vulnerable in front of Xun Qingran's arrangement for the sake of the overall situation. Mama Song has an opinion on the good placement of the Xin woman, so she should come to Xun Qingran, instead of stopping him. In Mama Song's heart, Xin Nu is better than Xun Qingran. Xun Qingran is thinking about this family.

Qi You's heart moved, and said, "This inner house is up to you." ”

Xun Qingran raised his head and looked at Qi You.

Qi You repeated again, "Qing Ran, you are the master of this inner house. ”

This is the first time that Qi You has clearly recognized her status, which is understandable, and Qi You said it so solemnly, the meaning is naturally different.

Xun Qingran was secretly happy in her heart, so she asked with a smile: "Is that when the fourth master is in this inner house, he is also under my control?" ”

Qi You nodded, and said, "...... On the woman's side, you should take care of her more. ”

"The guests brought back by the fourth master, I will naturally be the guest of honor." Xun Qingran nodded and said, she will naturally take care of it, but she always feels that Xin Nu is not so easy to make friends with, "...... Yesterday, I saw that the good woman only had one set of clothes, so I sent my new clothes to the good woman for emergency, but the good woman didn't move, I'm afraid I don't like it. …… Someone has been sent to make her new clothes. ”

Qi You nodded and didn't say anything.

"I don't know the preferences of a good woman, I'm always afraid that there will be a place to slacken, if the fourth master is free, why don't you say a few good words for me in front of a good girl."

Xun Qingran's tone was solemn with a hint of ridicule, and Qi You naturally heard it. Stretched out his finger to flick Xun Qingran's forehead, Xun Qingran had already taken precautions and moved away.

Qi You withdrew his hand, he also knew that bringing back these people had caused a lot of trouble for Xun Qingran to manage the inner house, so bear with it.

"The matter over there in Xinlan Courtyard will be handed over to Mama Song." Qi Yu said again.

"I thought the same thing, but I was afraid that Mama Song would be too careful." Xun Qingran said with a smile, "The fourth master said so, I'll arrange it." ”

Qi You said yes, then turned around and went into the inner room.

Xun Qingran immediately found someone to call Mama Song and told her about Qi You's arrangements.

"I'm still thinking about arranging which housekeeper to go over, since the fourth master has arranged it like this, the Xinlan Courtyard will be handed over to the grandmother, and the grandmother will share the worries between me and the fourth master, don't neglect the good girl." Xun Qingran commanded.

Mrs. Xin is a distinguished guest, so she dialed Mama Song alone, and as for other things, then Mama Song doesn't have to worry about it anymore.

Mama Song silently took out two sets of keys from her waist and handed them to Mama Xu who was waiting next to her. She was in a hurry, and complained to Qi You, and when she returned to Xinlan Courtyard, she was complained by Xin Nuhao. Xun Qingran has been cutting her power, but because she is identity, she can't do it too obviously, but now Xun Qingran found an opportunity. It's okay, I can finally go to Xinlan Courtyard to serve personally, but it's better than others.

Qi You came out of the inner room, and had already changed into a simple pale cyan robe.

"Where are you going?" Xun Qingran asked.
