Chapter 40: The Courtyard of Leisure
When the group walked through the front yard to the main hall, Yu Yu looked at the furniture and furnishings in the hall, the tables and chairs were not like the low table mats used by ordinary people, they were all red lacquered chairs with backrests made of unknown wood, and the half-height mahogany coffee table was set up next to the chair, and the workmanship shape was much more exquisite and beautiful than what she saw in Mayor Zhang's house.
Chang Gongzi sat down on the north wall of the hall and the main seat at the place where the ** frame was hung, and the jade was pulled by the Lu family to sit on the west side, and the red chairs under him were covered with embroidered cushions, and they were soft to sit on, which made the three Lu people who were used to sitting on the mat inevitably feel a little uncomfortable. The two men who welcomed them in stood outside the hall with their luggage, while the black-faced little man stood in the hall with another waiting for orders.
Ah Sheng stood two steps beside Chang Gongzi, and when he saw that they were all sitting down, he smiled and said, "Don't be restrained, this is my son-in-law's courtyard in Longquan Town." ”
As soon as Yi Yu entered the gate, he saw that there were four words on the plaque with the words "Xianrong Courtyard", but when Ah Sheng gave the Lu family an idea yesterday, he didn't make it clear that they had an industry in this town, but he didn't know whether he deliberately didn't mention it or really forgot to mention it.
Lu Shi's face was puzzled, and just as he was about to ask, he heard a sound of thin footsteps, and two maids in pink and white skirts walked in outside the hall with brown trays in their hands, lowered their eyebrows and placed the teapots and cups on the coffee table next to several people one by one, and then slowly filled the cups with hot tea.
Yi Yu swept to one of the maids with a delicate face, and secretly glanced at them when pouring tea, with a slight disdain in her eyes, which couldn't help but make her frown secretly: Ah Sheng mentioned earlier that he had found a Zhuangzi for them to borrow in this town, could it be this "Leisure Courtyard"? It's just that this is a farmer's Zhuangzi, which is more magnificent than the mansion of the mayor of Zhang's town.
"Madam, I asked someone to clean up a separate courtyard for you, the place is not big but there is nothing missing, can you stay here for the time being?" Ah Sheng's words confirmed Yu Yu's speculation, but she didn't really want to live in this house, she and the Lu family had discussed last night, after arriving in Longquan Town, pay some rent first, borrow and live in the Zhuangzi that Ah Sheng found, and wait for the completion of the land and property registration, she will continue to farm to make money, do some work to subsidize the family, and have her own house as soon as the money is saved or built or bought. But Ah Sheng let them temporarily live in this mansion full of subordinates, and also allocated a small courtyard to come out, they were embarrassed to live in vain, how much should they pay for rent?
The Lu family also had the same thoughts as Yi Yu, and when he heard Ah Sheng say this, he thought for a while, then shook his head and refused, "We are all countrymen, and it is not appropriate to live in this high-rise compound, so it is better to find a private house to rent for a while, and then make another plan when we have saved enough money." ”
Ah Sheng said with a smile: "Madame, this is outside, our young master is still waiting for your little sister to plant that mint grass, and it is convenient to help you live together." ”
Lu Shi smiled bitterly, "What kind of valuable thing is that, it is worth allocating to us a single courtyard to live in, this is a big advantage for us, and I am afraid that it will be indispensable for half a year to live in it, and it will disturb you in vain." Although Lu's words were tactful, his tone revealed resoluteness, Ah Sheng saw that she was unwilling to agree, so he turned around in embarrassment and called "Childe", and several people looked over.
Yi Yu saw Chang Gongzi on the side of his face that he looked like "nothing to do with himself", his blue clothes were slightly wrinkled, and his sideburns were a little loose, and he couldn't help but compare his appearance with the day before yesterday when he glanced at the downstairs of the Fuyuan Inn, and felt that although he was still sitting upright at this moment, there was a faint trace of lazy fatigue on his body, if it weren't for the cup of hot tea in his hand, it really made people think that he had fallen asleep.
Just when Yi Yu looked at him, Chang Gongzi suddenly opened his golden mouth lightly, "If you don't live here, just leave." ”
As soon as he spoke, the faces of several people in the hall were different, Lu Shi and Liu Xiangxiang were embarrassed, Yi Yu frowned, but Ah Sheng stood in place with some embarrassment, not knowing how to answer his master's words for the first time.
The atmosphere was so cold, and at this time, a person who hurriedly trotted to the door outside attracted everyone's eyes.
Ah Sheng looked at the person who ran to the door and suddenly stopped, with a smile on his face again, and opened his mouth to call, "Steward Li." ”
The man outside the hall, looking about forty or so on his face, was thin and tall, with a Chinese face, wearing a brown and green deep coat and ankle-length brown boots.
"Childe." Steward Li stood five steps in front of Chang Gongzi, put his hand in front of his abdomen, bowed and bowed slightly, but only got a slight bow from the person who was sitting.
"I still wonder why I didn't see you when I first greeted the door, and you came here after coming in for a long time, what are you busy doing?"
The housekeeper Li didn't answer his words, only smiled apologetically at him, walked forward in a few steps, leaned into Chang Gongzi's ear and muttered softly for a while, Yiyu straightened his ears and didn't hear half a word clearly, and when Steward Li finally finished typing the "small report" and straightened up, Chang Gongzi's face did not change, but he suddenly stood up straight, put one hand on the arm that Ah Sheng hurriedly handed over, followed by Steward Li who bowed his head, and left the main hall quickly.
The three of the Lu family were a little stunned, they hadn't finished saying this yet, why did they throw them here? When he was about to get up and catch up, he had just left the chair and stood up straight, when he was stopped by the black-faced little man guarding the door, and said to Lu Shi with a smile: "Madam, please go with the little one, and the little one will take you to the small courtyard to have a look, it must have been sorted out." ”
After speaking, he turned sideways and gave a look to the two subordinates outside the hall, and then turned around to make a gesture to guide them.
The little guy led them out of the hall to the west, into a flower hall, walked through an east and west hall, is a small and exquisite garden, and walked dozens of steps around to the north, only to see a small courtyard, the door has a plaque with the word "you", the courtyard door is wide open, and when they walked in, they were greeted by two people who were carrying their luggage first, and the black-faced little guy asked them a few words softly, and then sent them away.
Yi Yu was held by Lu's hand, and looked at this small courtyard slightly, there were only two wings on the north side of the courtyard, one large and one small, adjacent, although it was only one floor, it was much higher than the private houses she saw when she first entered the town, the dark tiles were neatly covered on the top of the double-sloped deer, and there was a pointed four-corner pavilion on the east side, and there were poplars planted in the courtyard, and there were a few bushes of flowers and plants.
The little maid took them to the big room, pushed open the carved wooden door, a faint moisture came out, the north of the house is a five-foot-long garden map, there are two carved wooden chairs, one of which is a mahogany high, the east side looks at a bedroom, and a green brocade curtain hangs down from the shoulder-wide door of the two people.
"Madam, do you need to call two maids to come in?" The little guy waited quietly on the side, waiting for them to take a look of care, and then asked.
Lu Shi was forced to follow, and when he asked like this, he would definitely refuse.
"Dinner will be delivered, there is a small kitchen in the next room, only tomorrow it can be used after it is cleaned up, the small one goes down first, if the lady has any orders, just go out of the yard, there are naturally people waiting outside the courtyard."
After speaking, he didn't wait for Lu Shi to ask again, and hurriedly turned around and retreated, leaving the three people in the room to look at each other.
