Chapter 138

Yuan's Mansion is located in the west of the city, but Fushoufang is on the edge of the imperial city, and the interval is quite far away. But the mansion of the eldest princess is also in Fushoufang.

When the carriage arrived at Defu Shoufang, the eldest princess rode up on a horse, and smiled at Yuan Changqing through the window: "You are busy moving today, so I won't go to the house to join in the fun." He bent down and said to Shanniang: "Now that we have become neighbors, we are just walking around. When you get better, I'll give you a post, and you can't come. ”

With that, the eldest princess turned her horse's head and walked away from the fork in the road. But he didn't go back to the princess's mansion, but according to the original plan, he went directly to Heng Tianxiang, the garment workshop that the noble ladies and relatives loved to visit in their leisure time - the so-called "solo happiness is better than public happiness", today's excitement, as the first on-site reporter, she has to find an audience to talk about.

Fang Ying sent the little couple to the door of the house in Rende Lane before going back to find Mrs. Fang on an errand.

Although the move was a temporary decision, Yuan Changqing has always been thoughtful in his work, and when he was fighting a lawsuit with the Yuan family, he had already sent Uncle Hua over to clean up the house. Although due to a hurry, it is not as good as it should be everywhere, but it is still able to live in people.

Mao Dazi, the gatekeeper, received the news that the uncle and grandmother were going to officially move over, so he sent his son Xiao Maotou to guard the entrance of the alley. Seeing Yuan Changqing's carriage coming from a distance, Xiao Mao rushed back in front of him to report the news. Mao Da, who got the letter, immediately held the thin prosthetic leg, and shouted at the door with a thunderous voice, and before Uncle Hua came out, he hurriedly lit the cannonball, but almost didn't startle Yuan Changqing's horse, and Uncle Hua, who was so hated that he jumped up and punched Mao Da on the head.

It wasn't until she heard the sound of firecrackers that Shanniang remembered that there must be a corresponding set of rituals for moving into the house.

And when Yuan Changqing sent Uncle Hua over to prepare, he didn't expect that Shanniang would get sick, but now when he heard the sound of firecrackers and thought about the house ceremony, he couldn't help but hesitate for a while, so he said to Shanniang: "You don't care about these." I think our house should have been cleaned up, so you should go and rest first. ”

While speaking, Uncle Hua had already personally taken the reins and brought the carriage into the carriage yard.

Shanniang frowned and said, "How can this work?!" Anyway, I'm the mistress of this house, why do you want to light a stove for me?! With that, he pushed Yuan Changqing away and got out of the carriage before him.

Mother Li and Sanhe Wufu, who were sitting in the back car, hurriedly followed.

Because Shanniang had only been here once, she remembered when she took Mother Li and the others to the gate of the carriage and horse courtyard, and she didn't remember which direction the kitchen was. So she turned around to find Mother Hua, but found that not only Mother Hua followed her, but even Yuan Changqing followed. She hurriedly waved at him and said, "What are you doing with me?" Hurry up and do what you should be busy with. You're a man. ”

"You ......" Yuan Changqing hesitated for a while.

She knew that he was not worried about her, so she turned around, softened her voice and smiled: "This will be our home from now on, and the auspicious fortune that should be begged still has to be begged." Besides, I'm done quickly, so I'd better go and rest, right? He quietly touched his hand again, "You hurry up and get busy with yours." ”

When entering the house, the man has to do a lot more than the hostess.

Yuan Changqing looked at her deeply, knowing that what she said was right, so he turned around and called Mother Hua to whisper a few words, and then went to get busy with the things he should be busy with.

Mother Hua looked back at his back, turned her head to look at Shanniang, and then smiled, laughing so much that Shanniang couldn't help blushing.

"What's so embarrassing about this," Mother Hua smiled straightforwardly, "Grandma and Grandpa have a good relationship, and we are happy to watch it." He sighed again and said with emotion: "Since I was a child, our uncle has looked like such a cold person, but I didn't expect that he would also hurt people." ”

Shanniang's heart moved, and she couldn't help but slow down and asked about Hua's mother, Yuan Changqing, when she was a child.

Mother Hua only came to Yuan Changqing's side when he was six years old, and Yuan Changqing at that time had already developed the temperament of not liking to take the initiative to talk to others, and only kept a small face all day long. "A little man who is only five or six years old, looks at people like an adult......"

Listening to Mother Hua's sigh, Shanniang seemed to see a little boy with dark eyes in front of her, silently observing all those who intended to approach him with silent vigilance......

When Mother Hua led Shanniang to the kitchen, a white and chubby middle-aged woman in the kitchen was leading a maid and a mother-in-law to be busy on the stove. Seeing Shanniang come in, several people hurriedly put down what they were doing and came over and called "grandma".

Mother Hua introduced: "This is Mother Tian on the stove. He added, "Her man is also Yuan Jiajun." ”

Shanniang knew that this Tian's mother should also be the bereaved family of the martyr. She smiled and said, "What a coincidence, my mother's mother on the stove is also surnamed Tian." ”

In fact, since this house was given to Yuan Changqing, there have been people living in it, but the upper courtyard of the main house is empty. Therefore, the so-called hostess started the stove, just to ask Shanniang to light a fire on the small stove to take an auspicious meaning.

When Shanniang was busy in the kitchen, Yuan Changqing was led by Uncle Hua, and in the main courtyard, it was sprinkled with water and clean, and it was a house in the four corners, and it was burning incense and burning paper, and the procedures were more cumbersome than Shanniang's. When Shanniang's side came over after finishing the work, Yuan Changqing's talent here will be half done. The husband and wife worshiped all the gods who should be worshipped together, and placed the shrines of Yuan Changqing's parents and parents, which can be regarded as the final completion of all the rituals of the house.

Withdrawing from the small Buddha hall that had been specially opened, Yuan Changqing looked at Shanniang, and saw that although she was pale, she was in good spirits, so he smiled and took her hand. Shan Niang's eyes suddenly flashed the lonely and alert little boy described by Mother Hua. So she also silently shook his hand.

The two of them came to the upper room, looked at each other, and both stretched out their hands to push open the door of the main courtyard. This will be their home from now on.

*・*・*

Xu is the novelty and excitement of moving to a new house, Shanniang's wind and cold this time came and went quickly, and she slept well at night, and the next day, when the fever subsided, she felt that she was the lively Hou Thirteen again. She planned to take a good look at her new territory, but she didn't want to encounter the resolute opposition of the "new lord" Yuan Changqing.

"It's just a little bit and you're here again, let me stay in the house honestly!" Yuan Changqing solemnly pulled her back to the house, and called the most honest Lu'an, and instructed her: "Take care of your grandmother, don't let her go out of the room for half a step." So saying, he went out to do his job.

This move was not in Yuan Changqing's calculations, so he still had a lot of things to deal with and deal with. And yesterday he moved in such a hurry, even if he sent Uncle Hua over in advance, it was just a temporary place to live in, and those boxes and cages were still piled up in a mess waiting for someone to clean up and put them together--Of course, these jobs should have been done by the hostess, but who told the man to do his own evil and make the hostess sick, and now he is the only one who bears it......

After Yuan Changqing left, Shan Niang thought that she was the mistress of the house, and Lu'an was her maid, so she thought that she would do whatever she had to do regardless of Yuan Changqing's order. Who knew that Lu'an was a little dead-eyed in his previous life, but now he has become even more dead-eyed, the uncle of the family said, if he doesn't enlarge his grandmother out of the house, Lu'an will treat Yuan Changqing's words as Lunyin Buddhism, and he hugged Shanniang to death, and she was really not allowed to go out of the room for half a step, which made Shanniang cry and laugh for a while, and poked her head with her finger and said hatefully: "Who the hell are you?!" ”

Sanhe happened to come in with the medicine, and when he heard Shanniang's complaints, he couldn't help but laugh gloatingly, and said, "Uncle is really a wise and talented person, and he actually picked Lu'an all at once." If you want to talk about us, I'm afraid that only this dead-eyed girl can look at grandma. As he spoke, he handed the medicine bowl to Shanniang.

Shanniang looked at the bowl of medicine with disgust, and frowned and muttered for a while, in the end, she didn't want the disease to repeat, so she obediently drank the medicine.

Since she was not allowed to go out, she thought about Yang Fengyin again, and asked Mother Hua about the staffing of this new family, and did not want Mother Hua, who was still chasing after her and wanted her to take over the power of housekeeping, but she only smiled and said, "Don't worry, wait until grandma is well", and pointed to Yuan Changqing's instructions to say something, smeared oil on the soles of her feet, and slipped away.

Shanniang had no choice but to go back and forth in the house. This time, she really found something to do!

Because they were in a hurry to move, they had not even had time to decorate a vase in their house, except for the necessary things. In her previous life, Shanniang liked to toss and decorate her room with her mood changes. Before she got married, her little embroidery building was tossed by her. Looking at the bare case, thinking of the rich dowry prepared for her by the fifth master and the fifth wife, Shanniang suddenly had itchy hands. Mother Hua, she can't command, it's still easy to call Mother Li. So she asked Li's mother for her dowry list, and instructed Sanhe, Wufu and Lu'an to open her dowry box.

When Yuan Changqing arranged the affairs of the outside world and came in to see Shanniang, he saw that she was energetically directing Mother Li and a few maids who were caught by Shanniang, and were climbing up the ladder to arrange their room.

"You've come just in time." Seeing him come in, Shan Niang greeted him and smiled, "What color do you prefer?" Before Yuan Changqing could answer, she blocked his words and said, "Except for black." ”

Yuan Changqing's mouth opened a little more, and she hurriedly said, "Except for blue." ”

Yuan Changqing immediately smiled, "Do you want to be gray?" ”

Shanniang glanced at him and said, "Then I won't ask you, when it's arranged, I don't care if you don't like it." ”

Yuan Changqing looked at her and sighed helplessly, "Can't you stay honest?" Saying that, regardless of Mother Li's mother, they were still in front of her, took Shanniang's hand and took her out of the house, and ordered someone to take a chair and put it in the yard, pressed Shanniang on the chair, and said, "Can't you just sit and bask in the sun?" ”

Today's sun is just right, and I finally let people experience the feeling of spring. Shanniang looked up at the sun, then looked back at Yuan Changqing, and suddenly remembered that when she was just reborn, she had vowed to be a person who ate and waited for death. But now Yuan Changqing is no longer like in her previous life, but she has become a person who wants to manage everything like in her previous life......

"Okay, I'll listen to you." She smiled, turned around and asked Lu'an to move a few small pieces over, and then caught the white paws who were curled up under the porch and slept lazily in her arms, and raised her head and smiled at Yuan Changqing: "Are you satisfied with this?" In fact, everything she should have arranged has already been arranged, and the following things have been watched by three and them, so she doesn't need to do it again.

Yuan Changqing didn't break her, he just glanced left and right quickly, and when he saw that no one was paying attention to them, he reached out and pinched Shanniang's chin, and then turned around and walked out of the yard and went to work on him again.

Shanniang smiled and watched him go out of the courtyard, and when she turned around, she saw Lu'an also looking at Yuan Changqing's back blankly.

"What are you looking at?" She said.

Lu'an's little face turned red, and he said, "Uncle is so good to grandma." ”

Shanniang's face couldn't help but turn red, and she said angrily: "You little brat, you know what's good and bad!" ”

Lu'an pouted, "It's all over the New Year, I'm fourteen!" ”

Wufu happened to come out, and when he heard Lu'an's words, he teased her and said, "Oh, what a big girl, she's fourteen!" ”

Shanniang also laughed, but she watched Wufu's heart move-San and Wufu are both a year older than her, and now they are both eighteen-year-old girls, shouldn't she worry about them?

In his previous life, Wufu was married to Yan Feng, but in this life, Wu Fu is like having a grudge against Yan Feng. Since she knew that the Jade Buddha Temple was secretly following them by Yan Feng pretending to be a ghost, Wufu had never had a good face for Yan Feng, and Yan Feng never let her. As for Sanhe, I'm afraid that the merchant will never have anything to do with her in this life......

Thinking about the lifelong events of the two maids, Shanniang was distracted for a while, so when Mrs. Fang and the Liu family entered the courtyard one after the other, she didn't notice for a while, but Lu'an gently pushed her, and she reacted.

To be honest, whether it was in her previous life or in this life, she was a little afraid of this unsmiling old lady, so she hurriedly stood up.

The old lady came one step ahead of her, pressed her back into the chair, put her hand on her head and tested her temperature, and said, "Why don't you stay in the house?" I'm not afraid of the wind blowing and heating again. ”

Xu saw her restraint, and the eldest aunt Liu, who came with the old lady, smiled and said for her: "It's rare that the weather is good today, and there is no wind, so sitting in the yard and basking in the sun is better than being stuffy in the house." ”

Yuan Changqing, who came in behind the two, also said: "I've already asked someone to move the screen, but I just moved it yesterday, and the things are still messy, and I haven't been able to sort it out for a while." ”

Although the old lady pressed her back into the chair, Shanniang herself felt empty in her heart, and she didn't dare to sit so aggressively, so she stood up again. Thinking that the maids and mothers-in-law were still tidying up the house, and it was not good to entertain guests, she turned around and instructed Sanhe Lu'an to move a set of tables and chairs out, and smiled at the old lady: "The house is still tidying up, so I have to snub the old lady to bask in the sun here for a while." ”

The old lady raised her eyebrows, took Yuan Changqing's hand and sat in the chair, and then looked up at Shanniang, who was still standing in a regular manner, and said, "What do you call me?" ”

Shanniang was stunned for a moment, and then realized that she was nervous for a while, and she actually called the old lady like in her previous life, so she hurriedly changed her voice and called "grandma".

In her previous life, she had always been like outsiders, calling Uncle Zhongsu and his wife "old lord and old lady". In this life, Yuan Changqing asked her to call the old lady "grandma" like him...... All along, the old lady just passively listened to her call her like this, and from the old lady's face, Shanniang couldn't tell what kind of attitude she had towards this somewhat too affectionate title......

Well, the old lady's question finally made Shanniang have a little bottom in her heart, at least the old lady doesn't hate her for calling her so......

At this time, Lu'an happened to come over with a tea tray. Shan Niang took the opportunity of the tea ceremony, pretending to be a gentle and subtle lady, served tea to the old lady and Liu, and said with a light smile: "Grandma and aunt, please use tea." ”

She pretended to be quiet here, which couldn't help but attract Yuan Changqing to look at her.

The old lady looked at her noncommittally, then reached out and took the teacup.

It wasn't until the old lady took the teacup that Shanniang quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and then subconsciously glanced at Yuan Changqing.

This glance suddenly made her realize that Yuan Changqing's eyes were exactly the same as the old lady! It's just that when the old lady looks at people, her dark eyes have more years of accumulation than Yuan Changqing, and they seem deeper and not easy to understand......

Shan Niang was silent. In the past, she always felt that Yuan Changqing's eyes were incomprehensible, since when did she suddenly understand his eyes? !

When she was slightly distracted here, she only heard Yuan Changqing ask the old lady: "I guess grandma might come today, so I sent someone to deliver the letter early in the morning, why did grandma still come?" Then he asked, "Why didn't the big sister come along?" ”

Liu smiled: "Your eldest sister and two younger ones are at their grandfather's house." He added, "The old lady doesn't worry about you, so she has to come and see it with her own eyes." Again, "Don't be busy, we know that you are in chaos here, and we will not make any trouble for you, just look and leave." ”

This was the first time the old lady had come to this house, so she put down the teacup and raised her eyes to look inside and out of the courtyard.

The house of Fushoufang only has three courtyards before and after, and the area is not large, but it can be described as "although the sparrow is small, it has all five organs". Although the house is decorated with terrazzo walls and tiled floors with southern style, the structure of the entire mansion is still in the traditional northern courtyard style. Coming in from the front yard and passing through the weeping flower gate, it is the main courtyard where Shanniang and the others live.

In the main courtyard, there are three north rooms facing the main house, and there are two ear rooms on the left and right. On both sides of the transept there is a row of three east and west wings, surrounded by a verandah. In the middle of the east ear room and the east wing room, there is a corner door that leads to the small garden in the backyard. Looking up over the ridge of the main house and looking into the backyard, you can see a small two-story wooden building in the backyard.

"It's good there." The old lady pointed to the small hallway.

Yuan Changqing said: "Outside the courtyard wall downstairs is the Jinshui River." He looked at Shanniang again and said with a smile: "Catch Ming'er and plant a magnolia tree behind the building, just like the embroidery building where Thirteen Er lived in her mother's house." ”

Others couldn't understand what Yuan Changqing was referring to, how could Shanniang not understand, she couldn't help blushing and quietly glared at Yuan Changqing.

She thought she was staring at her secretly, but she didn't know that she had already called the old lady who had been quietly observing her in her eyes. Seeing that the two of them were all right, the old lady put down the teacup, looked at Shanniang and said, "Live a good life." Then he got up, and went away again with a gust of wind, as he had come.

Yuan Changqing said while sending the old lady out: "When it is cleaned up, I will invite my grandmother and aunt to come over for a glass of wine......

Sending the old lady away, when Yuan Changqing came back, he saw Shan Niang sitting there still a little stunned and couldn't come back to his senses, so he raised his eyebrows, leaned over and smiled: "I thought you were quite bold, why do you look like you are a little afraid of the old lady?" ”

Shanniang didn't hide it from him, stroked her chest and said, "I don't know why, the old lord is not as scary as the old lady." ”

Yuan Changqing's long eyebrows moved again, and said, "It's wrong again." ”

Shanniang secretly grimaced in her heart. He hadn't asked her that in his previous life......

“…… Say it as if you've seen my grandfather. I only heard Yuan Changqing say again.

"Yes, I have seen it." Shanniang looked up at him.

Yuan Changqing was silent for a moment. The son is silent, and the strange force is confused. is because of Shanniang's bad ending, he doesn't want to believe her "dream". The more he didn't want to believe it, the more he cared about that "dream" and her bad ending......

He held Shanniang's hand, "Fortunately, my master will also ...... with you" He paused suddenly.

Shanniang waited for a while, and when she saw that he didn't mean to continue, she tilted her head and asked, "What?" ”

"Nothing." Yuan Changqing smiled slightly, and said, "I mean, my master will be back soon, and I will ask him to take a look for you when the time comes." Your body is really too weak, and you get sick twice in three days. ”

Shan Niang immediately took back her hand from him, raised her eyebrows and said, "Here we go again!" I really don't know where you came to the conclusion, but I have to say that I am weak. If it weren't for you......" She looked left and right, raised her foot and quietly stepped on Yuan Changqing's foot, and said in a low voice of hatred: "It's obvious that you are tired of me, but I am weak and sick!" ”

Yuan Changqing gasped and retracted his feet, looking at Shanniang with a sullen smile. He almost leaked his mouth in front of her just now, but fortunately, now Shanniang is no longer as wary of him as before, otherwise he would have let the unreasonable fifth master know that he had leaked, but there would be no better life for him.
