Chapter 1 Give the big house some color!

On April 15, they got married, and after the three dynasties returned to the door, Jiang Yashuang accompanied Qiu Yulan at home for two days, and then went to report to the Hanlin Academy.

The two were newly married Yan'er, and he was naturally tired of being at home all the time - so it wasn't until he went on a business trip that Qiu Lulan had the time to plan his married life.

…… This adaptation time was much shorter than she thought.

The main Jiang Yashuang is not only grandchildren, but also young grandchildren.

There is a harmony and water in the third room, even if the Qin State Mansion has a big business, and the number of orders and stewards can be described as a group, she is also well organized, completely eliminating the possibility of decentralization!

At present, the power of the backyard of the Duke of Qin is like this: the core is with Shui Jin, and the sixth young lady, the seventh young lady, and the eighth lady, who are not a few years older than them, are substitutes - when these few people can't hold on, the third lady and the old lady Tao will personally come forward to put out the fire.

It really needs four rooms to help, and there are Xiao Tao and Sheng Shuishui on the autumn trolling.

So what she can manage, as Jiang Yashuang said before, is the courtyard where they live.

The yard is the unified standard of the Jiang family's grandchildren: three in and three out, and a large piece of land is empty behind it, and a pond is dug to make a garden.

The first of these is where the kitchen is located, and it is also the residence of the male servants such as the servants; The second main house is a place for hospitality, and the wing rooms are used as guest rooms, and the others are where the maids live; The third entrance is where Jiang Yashuang and his wife live - this entrance is naturally the most attentive when it is built, and the hanging flower door of the hospital is finely carved, and even the bluestone threshold under the feet is carved with beautiful patterns.

The courtyard inside is even more easy to move, on the way from the hand-copying verandah to the main house, rockeries, lily, flowers and plants...... Staggered and arranged into a landscape, this season looks colorful and gorgeous, like a picture scroll.

The furnishings in the main house are also in accordance with the family rules - judging from the perspective that Qiu Yulan has been trained by Shao Yuemei and Ruan Ciyi in the past two years, the Jiang family is worthy of being Jiang Banchao, the residence of a grandchild, and many things are not available in the Xihe Palace.

After taking a turn in the house and recognizing places such as the study and bath room, Qiu Yulan asked Caiqi to take him to see the back garden - this back garden is not small, it is as big as the first three courtyards combined. There are three ways to enter, one is the small door on the back wall of the main house, the second is the back door of the study, and the third is the back door of this courtyard.

Qiu Yulan led a large group of maids and women, afraid of breaking things through the study, so they went in from the door on the wall, and only then did they enter, it was a bluestone path, with flowers and trees on both sides, and strange rocks.

Along the path zigzag up a section, there is a rockery more than one person high, there are caves in the rockery for people to hide in or walk through, and on the side of the mountain is a narrow stone staircase, on which an octagonal pavilion is builtβ€”the place where Caiqi persuaded them to come and eat the next day after they got married.

"It was raining that day, and it was night, and I saw that it was dark all around, and I didn't feel that there was anything unsightly. It's nice to look at it now. Qiu Yulan climbed up with her skirt and couldn't help but admire, "There are actually red-crowned cranes!" ”

On the other side of the rockery is a pond with hibiscus planted along the shore, and several of them are now in bloom.

By the pond are weeping willows, and from time to time there is the chirping of yellow warblers and the like. If you look closely, you can see more than one or two nests. The red-crowned crane she said was in the shade of green, and was combing its feathers happily - not only the red-crowned crane, but also the autumn trolling Lan looked at it more, and found that there were two or three pairs of mandarin ducks in the water among the lotus leaves, and she stood on the rockery at this time, the koi in the pond probably thought it was to be fed, and flocks rushed down the rockery, not afraid of the pair of red-crowned cranes not far away, and in a short time, the water under the rockery, a piece of red, as if a huge mandala had bloomed.

"It's a paradise!" Qiu Yulan asked people to go back and get fish food, and sprinkled a few handfuls on the surface of the water, and saw that the fish competition for food became more intense, and even fish jumped out of the water from time to time.

Caiqi smiled: "It's great that you like that!" ”

After looking at the site, the next thing is to recognize people - this on the 16th, Jiang Yashuang shouted all the people and kowtowed to Qiu Yulan.

Because he was personally cultivated by Qin Guogong, he was afraid that he would be too pampered. When I didn't get married before, there were less than ten people waiting for him. Now that they are married, the Duke of Qin Guo has asked Shui Jin to match people according to the standards of his grandson.

So these people are not even familiar with Jiang Yashuang, let alone what they are assigned to do - these are all left to Qiu Yulan to manage.

It took half a day to go back and forth in the courtyard, and another half a day to get acquainted with the people and ask about the things that need to be arranged...... That night, he ignored Jiang Yashuang's entanglement, and wrote a personnel arrangement book after thinking about it, remembering Ruan Ciyi's previous guidance, he sent Jiang Yashuang away the next day, called someone to prepare a pastry, and ran to the eighth room to find Xiao Tao: "Nineteen said that we have to take care of the things in the yard ourselves, and I don't know what rules there are at home, and I asked my eighth sister-in-law to teach me a lesson." ”

Because Xiao Tao has no children and is not loved by her husband, she has always been despised among the concubines, so that Mrs. Tao tried her best to calculate the marriage between Jiang Yazhu and Jiang Yashuang, lest she have no face in front of her brother and daughter-in-law in her room.

But whether it was Sheng Shushui or Qiu Yulan, after passing the door, she began to take care of her yard, and the first thing she did was to come and ask her, which made her feel very happy.

At this moment, he conceded a few words, and said: "There are not many rules at home, I'll tell your younger siblings about it later." He hated her again, "It's good for you to come, what else do you take?" ”

"My married mother made it, I just want to give my sister-in-law a taste!" Qiu Yulan hurriedly explained.

She really didn't run in vain this time, Xiao Tao read the arrangement she proposed very carefully, and then changed her from head to toe in a euphemistic tone - after all, Tao Qianbin is known as the most famous family in this dynasty, and the Tao family's glory of "one family and seven jinshi, father and son and three prime ministers", even the Jiang family, which is now known as the "Jiang Half Dynasty", can only look at it.

Shao Yuemei and Ruan Ciyi, who used to teach Qiu Yulan, really didn't look at the degree of noblewomen and noblewomen in front of her.

Especially since she has been the daughter-in-law of the Jiang family for more than ten years, she is completely at her fingertips for all kinds of light and dark rules, personal preferences, taboos, etc.

Qiu Lulan was ordered by her for a long time, and Dajue benefited a lot, so she simply brought some pastries, melons and fruits to the eighth room every afternoon to ask for advice.

She ran diligently and collided with Sheng Shushui - Sheng Shushui, who was a few months ahead of her, looked similar to when she was in the Xihe Wangfu Boudoir School, if it weren't for the change of young woman's outfit, it would have made people suspect that she hadn't left the cabinet yet.

Seeing Qiu Yulan, she greeted with a smile from afar: "Are you going to find the eighth sister-in-law?" ”

"Yes, is the sixteenth sister-in-law also going to find the eighth sister-in-law?" Qiu Yulan saw her natural attitude, and she admired her a little, the two of them were also classmates for two years, but no one thought that Sheng Shushui, who was not innocent, would one day make her, the county lord, call her sister-in-law.

Although Jiang Ya Zhu's status in the family is far inferior to Jiang Yashuang, the gap between him and Sheng Shushui is even bigger - according to the news that he occasionally heard from Zhuang Man before Qiu Shulan passed the door, Sheng Shushui's life in the Jiang family was not very good: his background was not high and he still had problems with his life experience; Her husband's status is on the verge of being angry with her......

In addition to Xiao Tao's family, the Jiang family is also kind to Mrs. Tao - but unless she offends Mrs. Tao, Mrs. Tao is very kind to her subordinates.

In this case, Sheng Shushui still maintains the bright and generous bearing before leaving the cabinet, even if it is very difficult to stand out.

"Then let's go together." When Sheng Shushui heard this, he smiled at her, just like the concubines of ordinary people, not inferior, not flattering, only just the right amount of affection.

Qiu Yulan agreed with a smile, although the two were a little hostile in the past, they had never attacked each other for so many years...... Now that she is a concubine in a room, Qiu Yulan is also light and light on her mustard, almost gone.

When Xiao Tao saw them coming, he couldn't help but smile: "I guess you guys will bump into it?" So he excused them from the house and invited them to sit.

After Sheng Shushui sat down, he asked, "Who is it this time?" ”

"It's the seventh sister-in-law." Xiao Tao said a word, and then explained to the confused Qiu Yulan, "I forgot to tell you yesterday, there is an unwritten rule in the family, that is, the concubine gets together every quarter, and the person who is the owner is determined by lottery...... Originally, it was all done in the early spring, but because you had to pass through the door, I decided to wait until you came. ”

Qiu Yulan asked curiously: "What kind of gathering method is it?" ”

"It's just to set up two tables of wine, and everyone will have a good time." Xiao Tao bit his lower lip and continued, "Of course, when we were in the boudoir, we all learned some talents...... Occasionally, it will also help the fun. ”

When she said this, her face was not very natural - Qiu Yulan was a little suspicious in her heart, if it was just a contest of talents, with Xiao Tao's background, even if she couldn't beat the crowd, there could be no embarrassment...... But looking at her look, it seems that she has suffered at this kind of party? And with her person, it is estimated that it is a big loss that it is so difficult to hide the abnormality......

So after saying goodbye to Xiao Tao on this day, she specially invited Sheng Shushui to go with her, and asked on the way: "What's wrong with this concubine's party?" When I saw the eighth sister-in-law talking about it, her face was a little wrong. ”

She asked directly, and Sheng Shushui replied cheerfully: "At the party last year, maybe in order to give me a dismount, a few people colluded to squeeze me to play the piano, my piano skills are not very good, and the eighth sister-in-law saw that I was embarrassed and played on my behalf - as a result, she played impeccably, and those people had nothing to say, but they said that the eighth sister-in-law was because she had no biological flesh and blood, and she played the piano when she was idle, so her piano skills were good." ”

glanced at Qiu Yulan, "You also just passed the door this time, I guess the eighth sister-in-law is afraid that there will be something like last time, right?" But I think she may be too worried, I married my grandmother didn't dare to think of a high marriage, but you are different. No one can compare with you in terms of background, and it is unlikely that you will join forces to embarrass you. ”

Qiu Yulan smiled: "Maybe that's the case when you come out." But you don't know, the crested hairpin that my grandfather gave me on the day of the tea ceremony is said to have been given to Miss Dasun as a dowry in the future. ”

"And such an inside story?" A touch of surprise swept over the water, but immediately returned to his normal color, and said, "Then it is estimated that the big house is going to be placed with you, according to my opinion, the sister-in-law is not very tolerant...... You be careful, the eighth sister-in-law has a gentle temperament and will not argue with others, I am from this background, and I have no place to speak for you...... It's up to you. ”

"I take care of it." After inquiring about the reason why Xiao Tao mentioned the difference in the look of the concubine party, Qiu Yulan bowed slightly to her, and the two broke up on the fork in the road and went back to their rooms.

Jiang Yashuang came back early this day, and when Qiu Yulan entered the inner room, he was already lying on the couch under the west window and took an idle book to read.

Seeing her come back, he put the scroll on the table, got up and smiled: "You came back from the eighth sister-in-law again?" Starling also told me today that you have been running over there more often than he has recently. ”

"I haven't seen him once, so I can see that he is talking nonsense." Qiu Yulan's impression of Jiang Yadan was really not good, and she pouted when she heard the words, "I really don't understand that the eighth sister-in-law has such a good sex. Son, what is he not satisfied with? ”

This sentence made Jiang Yashuang's face pass a different color: "It's probably sex. It's good, so starlings don't care, right? Because he knew that the eighth sister-in-law would not bother with him. ”

Qiu Yulan was stunned for a moment before saying, "...... What you're saying is. ”

"I remember the party of the concubines at home, it seems to be coming soon?" Jiang Yashuang looked thoughtful and suddenly asked.

"I just heard from my eighth sister-in-law...... What's wrong? Qiu Yulan looked at him suspiciously.

Jiang Yashuang bowed his head and said: "That crested hairpin - if the sister-in-law can't get along with you for this, you don't have to be polite!" Just reason with them to the end, my grandfather and grandmother have me in front of me! ”

Qiu Yulan smiled: "Don't worry, I will definitely not fall behind the dignity of our four rooms!" I just heard from the sixteenth sister-in-law today that they bully the eighth sister-in-law everywhere. Sex. Son, the eighth sister-in-law has not mentioned me less in the past two days, and I am thinking about repaying her! ”

When Jiang Yashuang heard this, her sword eyebrows were raised slightly, and she asked with a smile: "Eighth sister-in-law reminds you a few words, and you think about repaying her?" Then I'm going to remind you again, and I'm going to give you something to do...... Why don't you repay me? ”
