The next day, General Xiao led Ding Fang and a few of them and twenty people sent by Ming Dong into the palace of General Xiao who was personally sealed by the emperor. Because the mansion had just been established, there were a lot of things, and the magnates in the capital did not come to congratulate them immediately, but these people were also used to being people, so they sent housekeepers over to inform them, and when General Xiao had settled them, they personally came to the mansion to congratulate.

This general's mansion has begun to be built when the emperor crowned Xiao Zhongjing as the general of Zhenbei, no matter whether Xiao Zhongjing is an official in the capital in the future, the capital will definitely have his general's mansion. This time, in order to welcome the arrival of General Xiao, the Ministry of Rites has spent a lot of thought, and the house has been properly arranged and cleaned cleanly, regardless of the house furnishings or garden facilities. Xiao Zhongjing: They only need people to go in, and they don't have to worry about anything else.

Let Ding Fang and Mingchun watch as they arranged for someone to guard the door, and the others happily entered the house. Xiao Ruyu and the mother-in-law they bought haven't come over yet, Ming Dong said that they would find someone to teach the rules, and when they were taught, they would send someone over.

Looking at the decoration design of the house, the Ministry of Rites is really dedicated. Pavilions, gardens, rockeries, small bridges and flowing water. There are several good courtyards in the main courtyard, Xiao Zhongjing asked Xiao Ruyu to choose one by himself, according to his meaning, he wanted to give the biggest one to Xiao Ruyu, Xiao Ruyu waved his hand.

Because her father-in-law made her cheap father's door for her, she was already conspicuous enough, and she didn't want to be in the limelight anymore. Those powerful families in the capital, no matter how much they love their children, they don't give the largest courtyard to their children, she doesn't want to cause public anger.

In the end, she picked a yard with a large pond, the pond was full of all kinds of lotus flowers, this time it was the season when the lotus flowers were in full bloom, a courtyard of lotus fragrance, eyes full of blue lotus red lotus, beautiful, she liked it very much. She gave this courtyard a suitable name, Lotus Fragrance Garden, and she felt pretty good.

I heard Mingchun say that it is not good for the girl's family to always live in a place with a lot of water, although the lotus garden is cool and comfortable in summer, but it is wet and cold in winter, Xiao Zhongjing gave her another Yingluo courtyard and asked her to move in winter.

The courtyard is full of plum blossoms, and when winter comes, the plum blossoms are in full bloom, and then it is a different beauty. Xiao Ruyu couldn't be too satisfied with this father-in-law's arrangement. Since I recognized my father-in-law, I feel that my life has become more and more fulfilling.

There is no latest news from Han Yixuan over there in Ming Dong, Xiao Ruyu is a little sad at the same time, and he is a little timid, afraid of hearing disappointing news, so he does not urge Ming Dong.

Cheap Daddy also showed up here, although he didn't want to recognize him, but he had reached this point, even if she didn't want to see him, many things had to be figured out. I always felt that the original mother had a secret back then, otherwise how could she only take a girl ring to live in seclusion in the countryside. It seems that the cheap father has never given them living expenses, it is said that he is the largest medicinal herb merchant in the capital, or an imperial businessman, his Renhetang is the largest medicinal herb shop in the capital, such a big pomp, it should be very rich, why don't you even give a dime to your wife and daughter, this is really a complete scumbag.

Xiao Ruyu decided to take the time to investigate Zhang Renhe's situation, if he was really sorry for the original owner's mother and daughter, then she would definitely help them vent their anger.

After the yard was chosen, Xiao Zhongjing arranged for someone to help purchase the things he needed, and he had money to do things, so he didn't wait for the afternoon, the house was arranged, and he could live in it.

Of course, this is only a preliminary arrangement, many bedding, curtains, bed nets, are bought ready-made, and will be added slowly later. There are not enough people in the house, Ding Fang and they are all used by one person, Xiao Zhongjing saw that they were too busy, so he told Ming Chun to go out and buy some servants. Mingchun considered the safety of the General's Mansion, and was not worried about letting outsiders in, so he insisted that he wait for Mingqiu to come and talk about it.

After some chaos, it was finally cleaned up. Xiao Ruyu looked at the neat and clean room, felt at home for the first time, took a comfortable hot bath, stretched out, climbed into bed slowly, and soon fell asleep.

In the next few days, it was another period of busyness, although Xiao Zhongjing did not go to court, but many things in the house were pushed to Xiao Ruyu, he was a man after all, and the things in the backyard were not careful enough.

After another three days, Ming Dong brought the eight maids who taught the rules and a mother-in-law into the house. Xiao Zhongjing has already sent a message to Mingqiu, asking him to bring some trained female guards over, so that Xiao Ruyu can be better protected. Xiao Ruyu originally wanted to refuse, but now there are a lot of Yahuan, and some more are enough to make up several tables of mahjong. But thinking that what I wanted to do in the future might require a lot of manpower, and the female guards under my father-in-law must be more reliable than those bought outside, so I didn't refuse.

Now these rings were not bought for her. She has to take a good look to see if she has good ability, and she can put it outside in the future, and strive to be able to take charge of herself.

"Master, those people are here, Brother Mingdong is here to ask for instructions, do you want to bring them to meet the master?" Cai Wei walked in and asked softly. Now Cai Wei feels confident, her little face is tight, her back is straight, she is the first to follow the master, I used to hear her call the master, and they reminded her many times to call the eldest lady and didn't let her change it, I feel that the master is more intimate and tall than the eldest lady.

Xiao Ruyu didn't care about the title, since Cai Wei was willing to call the master, let her shout. Mingchun They are more serious, Cai Wei was the first to follow her, but she treats her as a relative, and she doesn't want to make her unhappy because of this.

"Let them in, and I will ask them what they will do to arrange the work." Xiao Ruyu sat on the side of the sandalwood desk, sorting out the household that her father-in-law asked Mingchun to hand over to her.

All kinds of silver tickets were placed in a sandalwood box, she took a cursory look, there were about tens of thousands of taels, in addition to the silver tickets, there were also various land deeds and house deeds, and she was going to store these things separately. I just roughly estimated my father-in-law's property, maybe because she has too much money in her hand, how can I feel that my father-in-law is so poor.

She has to help her father-in-law plan well, as a general who has taken root in the capital, such a little money is not enough. In the future, she can let her father-in-law join in a share, and she can earn money together, which is a good father and daughter. In addition, the father-in-law's Zhuangzi can also help grow medicine, which is not only an income, but also a transfer of risk. Producing your own medicine is much better than buying someone else's insurance.

"I've seen the eldest lady." Eight maid rings, one mother-in-law, bowed down together and gave Xiao Ruyu a salute.

Xiao Ruyu nodded, "Excuse me, please get up." ”

Hearing her voice, everyone didn't dare to raise their heads, but the woman suddenly trembled, suddenly raised her head, and looked at Xiao Ruyu with a very strange gaze. , as if he suddenly saw a loved one, he seemed to be surprised and delighted, and his eyes were full of tears.

Xiao Ruyu also looked at her, the familiar beauty but the weathered face appeared in front of her, her heart was beating suddenly, and tears almost poured out.

It's definitely not that she wants to cry, it may be that the obsession left by the original owner on her made her want to cry because she saw her relatives.

This mother-in-law is none other than Xiao Ruyu's original grandmother Chen Mama, whose original name was Chen Qianlan. She is the dowry girl of the original mother, in order to take care of her mother and two unmarried for life, she treats Xiao Ruyu as a daughter. When they first encountered bandits fleeing, they were also tightly guarded behind them, and if they didn't really have no choice, they couldn't have jumped into the river.

I always thought that Mama Chen was dead, and the original body was sad for a long time, after Xiao Ruyu inherited the memory of the original owner, she also sighed and sighed for Mama Chen's affairs, and now she suddenly saw a real person, Xiao Ruyu was also very excited. However, she did not immediately come forward to recognize her, but ordered Cai Wei to take the others down, leaving Mama Chen alone.

"Miss, are you Miss Ruyu?" Mama Chen's tears came out like a broken thread, she wiped it with her hand, and wanted to step forward tremblingly to grab Xiao Ruyu's hand, but took a step and fell back.

Looking at the low-key but luxurious furnishings around her, and looking at the more aura of the young lady in front of her, she couldn't believe her eyes, and she couldn't help pinching herself, wanting to confirm if this was a dream.

"I'm not dreaming, am I? I really saw my young lady. Mama Chen pinched very hard, and felt that the piece of meat on her arm was about to be wrung off, she didn't care about the pain, and stepped forward again, "Miss, you are really my Miss Ruyu, woo." Ran over and hugged Xiao Ruyu and cried bitterly.

Xiao Ruyu is also sad, but more contradictory. She actually didn't want to see her again, she was not the original owner, she was not the kind of mother-like curtain for Mama Chen, she was even more worried that she would find out that she was different from the original owner.

When she first recognized Mama Chen, she even considered whether to arrange people to leave, otherwise it would be troublesome to wear goofs in the future. But seeing Mama Chen's eyes and feeling her sincerity, she felt very ashamed. She felt that her thoughts were too selfish, she was sorry for the original owner, sorry for the mother of the original owner, and even more sorry for Mama Chen, who treated the original owner like her own daughter.

Mama Chen is a woman worthy of respect, even if she is for the sake of the original owner, she has to keep her by her side and be filial. Even if she gets out one day, there's nothing to be afraid of, at most she's gone.

After thinking about it, Xiao Ruyu completely let go of the knot, threw herself into Mama Chen's arms and cried. At first, there were some elements of acting, but Mama Chen's embrace moved her warm and familiar, and her tears flowed uncontrollably.

After crying for a while, the two stopped crying. Xiao Ruyu pulled Mama Chen to sit aside and asked her how she was doing these days. What kind of experience made her sell herself into slavery.

Mama Chen told her that after she jumped into the river, she was rescued by a fisherman, and she didn't have much money on her, so she gave the only valuable jewelry to others after being rescued. Later, in order to make a living, she went to work in a wealthy businessman's house, which was in the medicinal herb business, and she learned medicine from the young lady's mother, and it was very easy to do. Unexpectedly, the wealthy businessman saw that she had some skills and forced her to sign a deed of sale. Later, he followed the rich merchant to the capital, who knew that the capital was not so easy to mix, the son of the rich family offended the nobles, the whole family was exiled, and their slaves and maids had to be re-sold, she suffered from the wind and cold, and coughed all the time, in order not to let everyone buy her, she did something tricks, who would have thought that it was bought by the young lady, this must be the young lady's mother has a spirit in the sky, so that their master and servant can be reunited.

Speaking of the deceased mother, Xiao Ruyu felt weak for a while, she had made up her mind not to care about the original owner's affairs, but she didn't expect fate to be so strange, pushing her forward constantly, vaguely, she felt her love and hatred, she and the original owner, can no longer be separated from each other.

If the deceased person really has a spirit, it may not only be the original owner's mother, but the deceased original owner also guided her in the dark, allowing her and the people she cared about to be close to each other and snuggle up to each other.
