Chapter 126: Visiting a New Home

After getting out of the carriage, Qin Mingyue and Xiao Rui slowly walked in together. There are already slaves and maids in charge of this. The chief housekeeper is Qin Mingyue's person, that is, Zhai Jinfu, the chief housekeeper who was transferred from Xixiu Villa in the suburbs. Now, he is the big steward of this new house.

Zhai Jinfu led the stewards to give Qin Mingyue a gift. Qin Mingyue said: "There is no need to be so polite. I'm not very familiar with this house, Steward Zhai led us to take a look, right? ”

Zhai Jinfu hurriedly stood up and ordered the stewards to work, while he followed Qin Mingyue and Xiao Rui and introduced: "This was originally the Yang family's mansion, in addition to its good geographical location, the beauty of the mansion is also one of the best in the capital. After all, before the Yang family came out of Queen Yang, it was a famous family in our Great Zhou, a family of princes for generations, and later Queen Yang came out, and it reached its peak. Our Zhai family, as a member of the Internal Affairs Office in the past, often went in and out of the Yang family, so we are still familiar with these. ”

"This house is very close to the palace, and it is just a cup of tea to take a carriage, and it is also very close to the Star Picking Tower, and it is only two teas to make a carriage. Adjacent to the west of the mansion is the mansion of King Qin, and to the east is the mansion of the abolished prince. It was the residence of a former vassal king, but it had been abandoned, and the emperor had ordered it to be repaired, and a high wall was built to confinish the crown prince. Behind is the residence of King Jin. ”

Hearing this, Qin Mingyue couldn't help frowning. She is willing to live close to Xiao Rui, but she hates Xiao Xi even more. She doesn't like the waste prince either. In her previous life, the abolished prince did not give her any trouble. Not to mention, the key is that in the mansion of the abolished prince, there is still a Su Liuli she hates the most.

Probably knowing Qin Mingyue's thoughts, Xiao Rui whispered beside Qin Mingyue: "Mingyue, I know you don't like my second brother, and Concubine Su, we are close, and there is also a little advantage, that is, you can monitor them nearby." ”

Well, that's a good reason.

Qin Mingyue can still fully believe in Zhai Jinfu. Zhai Jinfu is in her hands for the entire family, and she is still left by the Queen Mother, and her ability and loyalty are all first-class.

Qin Mingyue said: "You will manage the mansion in the future, pay attention to sending people to monitor the situation of King Jin, as well as the situation in the mansion of the abolished prince, especially the situation of the abolished princess Concubine Su." ”

Zhai Jinfu hurriedly came down. For Qin Mingyue's arrangement, he was actually not surprised at all, originally as a confidant of the Queen Mother, their Zhai family did not do such a thing.

Zhai Jinfu thought of this, and couldn't help but say to Qin Mingyue: "Miss, the emperor also rewarded you with a hundred slaves, which can be selected from the Internal Affairs Office, and the old slave has a suggestion." ”

Qin Mingyue asked, "What suggestions?" I was just about to leave this matter to you, your Zhai family is the most familiar with the Internal Affairs Office, and there are many in-laws. Take advantage of this opportunity to pick out the people you need, your in-laws, and those who use your talents. ”

Zhai Jinfu's face showed joy, and he was busy kowtowing to thank him and said, "Miss is really thoughtful for us. Although the old slave's Zhai family has left the Internal Affairs Office and arrived at Miss. In addition, the imperial kitchen family, the craftsman Si Lin family, and the needlework room Ma family have all come. However, the four families of our Internal Affairs Office have existed since the establishment of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and they have flourished in the Internal Affairs Office for so many years, and their in-laws are all over the place. For example, the eldest daughter of the old slave married into the Gan family. ”

"The Gan family has everything they do in the Internal Affairs Office, and they have a wide range of contacts, and similarly, their family also has a secret method handed down from their ancestors, which is the most suitable for finding out news. It should be impossible for the entire Gan family to dig up. However, if only my eldest daughter's family is poached, it will be no problem. What do you think, Miss? ”

Qin Mingyue smiled and said, "Okay, you can just look at this matter." Anyway, I've picked all of these hundred. After all, it was rewarded by the emperor, so don't waste it. ”

Zhai Jinfu was overjoyed, and then he remembered that he was also responsible for continuing to introduce this house, so he continued: "This house has a good geographical location, and the space inside is even larger. The gate is also very large, after all, it is the former noble mansion. The front yard is also very large, with a study, a council room, and a Rongxi Hall. ”

Qin Mingyue frowned and said, "The plaques of all kinds of houses and halls in the mansion have been removed. We don't use the things of the Yang family, turn around, I took the name, and you asked someone to do it and hang it up. ”

Zhai Jinfu hurriedly said: "I have already taken it off." The old slave just said that it was convenient, and this name must be Miss's. ”

For Zhai Jinfu's thoughtfulness, Qin Mingyue was very satisfied.

As everyone spoke, they had already passed through the front yard to the second gate.

Zhai Jinfu said: "When you enter the second gate, you will be in the inner house." The inner house is very large, divided into three roads, the left and right, and is a typical large house. The main house is in the middle of the middle of the road, and it is a large house with five rooms, three wings on the left and right, and a garden in the middle, which is connected by a verandah, all the way to the garden in the backyard. ”

"Behind the main house is the back hall. It used to be the residence of the old lady of the Yang family, and it was very magnificent. Behind it is the residence of the young ladies of the Yang family. The ladies' residence is connected to the back garden, which is a five-entry mansion on the third side of the left and right, and the layout is decent, but the flowers and plants inside are very exquisite, and the carved beams and paintings are all the best. ”

"In particular, there is a large garden in the backyard, with plum groves, peony incense gardens, lotus lakes, wisteria verandahs, bamboo forests, etc., and there is a taller mountain of soil, and there are also attic houses with carved beams and paintings built on the mountain. We went over and enjoyed them one by one. ”

Qin Mingyue and Xiao Rui commented on various houses while strolling, and some named them on the spot. When he encountered something that did not suit him, he told Zhai Jinfu and asked him to revise it later.

While strolling around, Zeng Yukun also arrived, Qin Mingyue and Xiao Rui took Zeng Yukun to walk together, and asked Zeng Yukun to help carry the plaque.

Zeng Yukun is very suitable for doing this. First, his literary skills are not bad, and second, as a child of a family in the capital, he has seen too many mansions and gardens, and he is very familiar with all kinds of words and phrases suitable for mentioning plaques, so he is handy.

They walked around, and when they got to the garden, they were tired, and rested in a plum grove that was in full swing.

While drinking hot tea, Qin Mingyue looked at the beautiful scenery around her, the dark fragrance of the floating plum forest, and said, "The Yang family will really enjoy it." Therefore, in the noble family, three generations know how to dress, and five generations know food. ”

Xiao Rui smiled and said, "It's as if you're not from a family." Isn't your Qin family the nobles that the Great Zhou Dynasty founded? ”

Qin Mingyue smiled and said, "Who doesn't know the situation of our Qin family in the entire Great Zhou?" Okay, let's not talk about that. Zeng Shizi, congratulations on your ascension. ”

Zeng Yukun was busy and solemn: "Don't be congratulated, not all of my official positions are from Miss." The emperor doesn't like to reward young lady, so he rewards us who do things. ”

Qin Mingyue smiled, she has always been very preferential to those who follow her.
