Xia Zhi rarely heard Chen Huan mention things at home, and she didn't expect that one day, she would stay in Chen's house. But this is not a happy fairy tale that flies on a branch and becomes a phoenix, what if it is the beginning of another tragic story?

Steward Fang was walking in front, and the summer solstice followed suit, when he suddenly braked sharply and almost had a rear-end accident.

[When you arrive, this is the accommodation arranged for you. Steward Fang pointed forward, and Xia Solstice poked his head out from behind him.

In front of me was a delicate small courtyard, with a one-man tall bamboo fence enclosing the entire outline, and green vines crawling on it, and although it was late autumn, the leaves still stood firm to decorate the courtyard walls. The gate of the courtyard is also made of bamboo, and there is an irregular rotten wood plaque on the door, carved with the three characters of "Lane Bamboo Garden", which is painted with dark green paint.

Pushing the door in, what catches your eye is a large piece of green bamboo by the courtyard wall, and the lush wind blows through the rustling, which is very suitable for the idea of the small courtyard. The two-storey wooden building sits north and faces south to occupy the main position, and in front of it is a small garden decorated with green plants and plants. From the adjoining cloister there is a pavilion where you can take a break at leisure.

Steward Fang led the summer solstice to the wooden building, the furniture and decoration in the building are all available, it doesn't look like there is any life, it can be seen that it is not usually inhabited, but it is just cleaned regularly. [I just received the news that someone came to live, so I cleaned it in a hurry, and I slowly made up for it after I was missing something.] And because you came too quickly, there is no maid here to call you, so you will wait for it first. 】

Xia Zhi only agreed, she is not a pampered daughter, as long as there is no shortage of food and clothing, it is not difficult to take care of herself, and she doesn't care very much about whether there is a maid or not. But in the eyes of Steward Fang, Xia Zhi's reaction was called a weak and useless, a soft persimmon that could be manipulated by others.

[Seeing that you are tired from the journey, let's rest first.] The luggage will be delivered in a moment. Steward Fang said, getting up and preparing to leave. Xia Zhi did enough etiquette and sent her out of the courtyard gate of Lane Bamboo Garden.

[Okay, just send it here, don't run around and get into trouble, it's not a joke. Steward Fang took the trouble to tell him again.

"Yes, I see. The summer solstice bows its head to show that it is enlightened. Wait for the steward to move his tired neck when he is far away, the fox is a fake tiger and a dog is powerful, even a fox is so difficult, and when the tiger appears, what is it?

The wooden building is more than 10 meters high, and it is built of cedar wood up and down except for the roof tiles. The building is divided into two floors, double cornices, the eaves corners are curled, and there seems to be a tendency to fly in the air. There are porcelain bells hanging under the corners of the eaves, and the jingle bells are crisp and pleasant when the breeze passes. On the lower floor, there are huge wooden pillars that support the whole building, and they are clean and bright when they are painted with tung oil. The second floor is roughly divided into two bedrooms and one living room, with a curved corridor and railing around the building, which is well lit and ventilated.

Xia Zhi picked one of the rooms where he could see the large bamboo forest outside the courtyard wall, and opened the windows to see the sunlight coming in, which was very comfortable to steal a half day of leisure. The living utensils in the room are all prepared, and she can move in with peace of mind just after her luggage is sent and sorted out a little.

The little guys quickly delivered the summer solstice's carry-on luggage, and then left like a gust of wind, without staying even for a moment. Xia Solstice didn't think much about it and quickly sorted it out. After being busy, I felt a little uneasy, this bamboo garden is too quiet, and it is said that it is equipped with small maids and maids.

Xia Zhi was a little thirsty, and got up to pour a cup of tea, but the teapot was clean enough, but there was nothing inside.

Suddenly there is an illusion that he is imprisoned.,I'm not allowed to run around.,There's no food or drink.,Isn't this the small black house model of Tongxiangyuan?

Xia Zhi looked outside, and it was clear that he couldn't find anyone, and it was not easy for newcomers to break in, so he sat on the bed and waited for a long time, but finally couldn't bear his dry mouth and went downstairs.

Bypassing the bluestone path, Xia Zhi just walked to the door of the Lane Bamboo Garden, and heard someone drinking, "Where are you going!" Xia Zhi was looking forward to finding someone to ask, and when he turned around, he saw that it was a little maid dressed as a domestic servant, about twenty years old, so he said, [You know who I am, I'm thirsty, bother to bring a pot of hot tea? 】

The servant looked her up and down, and said coldly, "Follow me!" 】

Xia Zhi thought to himself, shouldn't it be sent upstairs? But after the servant finished speaking, he walked forward without looking back, and Xia Zhi had to lift his spirit and follow.

The servant led Xia Zhi to a few tiled houses in the middle of nowhere, and stopped, and said, "This is the small kitchen of the Lane Bamboo Garden, and there is water in the well next to it, you can take it as you like. If you want to use hot water, you can take it to the kitchen and boil it. None of this is for me to do, you have to do it yourself. 】

Xia Zhi couldn't help but say, [What about the people who should do these things? 】

The servant glanced at her and muttered in a low voice, [Heh, my subordinate, I really think I am the master......]

This volume was definitely intended for her to hear, Xia Zhi said angrily, [What did you say! 】

[What did I say!] The servant said, "I said that I was only kindly telling you this, and as for the people you are looking for to serve you, I don't know where they are. 】

A simple domestic servant's attitude is so bad, obviously someone instructed her, this is because she is a weak woman who is easy to bully, so she kicks her nose in the face like this. Xia Zhi raised his chin slightly and sneered, [Are all the descendants of your Chen family so unruly? This is your Chen family's hospitality? 】

The servant said with a smile, "If you are an upright guest, of course you will treat you politely. But you know who you are, and we know it, so don't think of yourself as high. 】

[Do you dare to say this again in front of your Young Master Chen Huan? ] Xia Zhi had no choice but to move out of Chen Huan's identity as a young master.

A look of doubt flashed on the servant's face, but he still quibbled, [I just did what I had to do, and you can't get my handle if you want to sue! Okay, don't you want to drink hot tea, I won't delay you from boiling water to make tea. After speaking, he flicked his sleeves and walked away.

Although Xia Zhi has not rarely encountered people who have made sarcastic remarks, it is the first time that he has been so naked and hurtful. I didn't expect to be treated like this when I first came, and the sadness of the future can be imagined. But for now, let's solve the urgent need first. Xia Zhi sighed, picked up the well rope and went to fetch water. She had never done this kind of work, all of which was rubbing the water from the kitchen of Tongxiang Courtyard, so several buckets of water were lifted into the air, but her arms had no follow-up strength, and the buckets fell down again.

Finally brought the water up, Xia Zhi was already tired and sat on the edge of the well, a pair of letters were already red and swollen, and his arms seemed to be unable to lift a thousand pounds. Xia Zhi felt depressed for a while, and he couldn't wait to rush out of the Chen family's compound immediately, and he would never be angry again.
