Chapter 436: The Joy of Housewarming
Originally, the small courtyard near Fuxue was for Xu Chengyuan to live in the future, and it was most appropriate to arrange for them to live in it at this time. However, there are many Du family members, and there are subordinates, so they need two small courtyards to live in, so they are settled like this first. After the new house is built, let the Xu family move over.
When he arrived at the small courtyard, Chen looked at the small courtyard before and after, and liked it very much, and praised: "This small courtyard is very good." After speaking, he looked at Du Jinning and said, "Otherwise, we will live here?" It's close to the school, so it's easy for you to go back and forth, so you don't have to run around. ”
Du Jinning smiled but said nothing.
After seeing the new house tomorrow, the Chen family will not feel that this place is good.
After staying overnight in the courtyard, the family went to the new house the next day.
Sure enough, when Chen saw the new house, his mouth was wide open, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time. kept asking Du Jinning: "Is this house really ours?" ”
Du Jinning replied to her for the one hundred and eighth time: "Yes." ”
"Oh my God, I'm afraid it's just the emperor's palace." Chen sighed with emotion.
Du Fangling hurriedly stopped her: "Mother, you can't talk nonsense. ”
"Oh, don't talk nonsense, don't talk nonsense." Chen quickly covered his mouth.
Du Fangling didn't call Chen Shi, but she herself sighed: "This house is really good." If all the flowers and trees grow, I don't know what kind of beautiful scenery it will be. ”
Du Fanghui has recently become obsessed with plants, and said to Du Jinning: "Otherwise, the flowers and trees in this garden will be handed over to me." ”
"The flowers and trees I brought this time will be planted today; The next time you buy seedlings, you will lead the human seed. "Du Jinning himself has no time, and it is most appropriate to leave this matter to Du Fanghui.
Yao Shuqi has been following behind. At this time, seeing that everyone had walked through the garden, he stepped forward to ask Du Jinning and said, "Young Master, do you want to let the people come to visit Mrs. and Miss?" ”
Du Jinning waved his hand: "Don't use it yet, I'll see you when Ming'er moves in." ”
Yao Shuqi and the carpenters of the Liang family are very capable, and in the twenty days since Du Jinning went back, except for the extremely complicated carving stepping bed, other furniture has been prepared and put in, and the soft decoration has also been purchased.
As long as you plant all the flowers and trees outside the yard and rinse the green bricks of the yard, you can move in.
She turned her head and instructed Jiangbei: "You and Wang Fulai will accompany their wives back first." He said to Chen, "If you are bored, you will let Wang Fulai take you to the Gongyuan to find your own mother and her family to go shopping." I'm going to take care of this matter today, so I won't accompany you. ”
"You don't need to accompany you, you can be busy." Chen knew that Du Jinning would be going to school in a few days, so he had to take care of everything here when he was free. She hated that she couldn't help Du Jinning, so she had to go back with her daughter.
Du Jinning sent them to the car, then turned back and instructed Yao Shuqi: "You go and pick a few strong laborers to come over, and I will command them to plant the flowers and trees that were transported yesterday in a while." ”
These flowers and trees were originally the best planted last night, but Du Jinning had been bumping on the mule cart for a day yesterday, and he really didn't have the energy to care about them. But fortunately, the flowers and trees have been treated, the roots are covered with mud, and they are properly bandaged, and it is cloudy in the past two days, so it doesn't matter if you delay it overnight.
Du Jinning was busy here, and after half an hour, Xu Chengyuan came, rolled up his sleeves and said, "Jinning, is there anything I can help with?" ”
Du Jinning was a little surprised: "Why are you here?" ”
"You're busy here, so naturally I can't sit idly by." Xu Chengyuan said with a smile.
Du Jinning understood and asked him, "Did my mother go to your side?" ”
Xu Chengyuan nodded: "Otherwise, I wouldn't know you're here." ”
"Nothing to help with. Now that the family has bought someone, you don't have to do anything yourself, just give an order. Du Jinning smiled, she pointed to a few sturdy men, "That's the Liang family's craftsman master, Liang Xiankuan knew that I was coming today, and specially sent him to help." So there are enough manpower. ”
Xu Chengyuan saw a few maids in the house wiping the furniture and tidying up the house; In the courtyard, several men and sturdy mothers-in-law dug pits and planted flowers and trees under the command of Du Jinning, although it was a busy scene, it was orderly. He thought about it, found an empty house, replaced it with the short brown he had brought, and joined the ranks of planting trees.
Seeing this, Du Jinning knew Xu Chengyuan's temperament, so he didn't stop him, and let him go.
Of course, he is a weak scholar and an aunt, so Yao Shuqi naturally didn't dare to let him really dig a pit, just let him help the trees.
Du Jinning brought flowers and trees from Lishui County, and also selected some flowers and trees to plant in the yard according to his habits, and Yao Shuqi also planted some flowers and trees according to Du Jinning's instructions. Du Jinning also left some vacant seats, and planned to go to Qifu, Guanfu and Liang Mansion to cut some branches for cuttings, and some places to plant seeds.
She has made a plan for where to plant flowers and trees in the garden, and she can't plant them randomly.
Of course, she plans to hand over the rest of the work to Du Fanghui.
It's fast to work with a lot of people, but after a day's work, this area in the backyard is cleaned up. There are a few small details that can be taken care of slowly when you move in.
"Move tomorrow." She announced.
"Young master, do you want to see the days?" Yao Shuqi reminded.
Du Jinning hesitated for a moment: "Then let's take a look." ”
She doesn't have so many taboos herself, but Chen cares more about this. Although they have also moved many times, this is the first time that the Du family's small three-room house has been purchased, and the Chen family wants to value it more.
When Yao Shuqi heard this, he hurriedly asked someone to see the day. When he came back, he said, "The day after tomorrow will be a good day." ”
There are many good days, and he knows that Du Jinning will enter the house in a few days, so he naturally has to pick the nearest one. After settling down at home, Du Jinning was also relieved when he arrived at the school.
It's just a move, Du Jinning doesn't plan to inform everyone, and decides to keep everything simple. So on the morning of the third day, they came by mule cart at the right time, intending to move their luggage in and put firecrackers in again, and just lift the red cloth covering the plaque on the gate.
But I didn't want to get there, and I saw a group of people around the door from a distance. At a glance, in addition to Liang Xiankuan, Xu Chengyuan, etc., Qi Muyuan was also listed. Liang and Qi both brought two or three housekeepers and subordinates; The Xu family is a family of three, plus Yao Shuqi and others, and the wide road is almost occupied.
Wang Fulai stopped the car, and Du Jinning got out of the car, greeted them one by one, and asked them, "Why are you here?" His gaze stopped on Qi Muyuan's face.
"Isn't this your housewarming? Naturally, we're here to congratulate you. Liang Xiankuan nodded at Du Jinning with his finger, "You guy is not kind, if we hadn't asked Yao Shuqi, I wouldn't have known that you moved into the house today." I didn't even notice it, it was too boring. ”
