Before moving into the city, the Yuan Mansion and Zhuangzi Workshop in Dali Village also had to make arrangements.

The three Zhuangzi continued to plant wheat this year, but left 100 acres to plant broad beans, and this year they will plant 100 acres of peppers, which are all placed in Dali Village, so that Mr. and Mrs. Li can stay in Dali Village to take care of them.

The heads of the three Zhuangzi are all under the control of Steward Li, and Aunt Li mainly cleans the Yuan Mansion, and the main family has to come back from time to time to live.

Old Yuan Tou, Ma Shi, Yuan Lao Er and Yuan Lao San all followed into the city, otherwise, how many courtyards would have to be idle for such a big Zhongqin Bo Mansion?

However, they were separated before, and they could live their own small lives in the Bofu.

In fact, according to the specifications of the imperial court, the loyal and diligent uncle is the second grade, and the first rank is qualified to live in the five-entry mansion, but who is Xia Hongdi?

He is a famous word in the court, others don't know what it is like to be the emperor, anyway, the ministers quarrel and see-saw are to be with the mud, today's court, the emperor likes to listen to the lively, watching you argue.

And this one, he only listens to what he wants to hear, and only does what he wants to do, for more than a year, many people haven't figured out his routines, and they still like to fire squid at every turn, and let officials go home and eat themselves.

The imperial court has opened Enke, how can there be a shortage of talents? Especially the imperial examination literati! The temple test is about to be taken, and hundreds of jinshi can be selected to come out.

This loyal and diligent uncle, who is red in everyone's eyes, has not yet received errands in various ministries, as if he has only won a knighthood, is this like this for this favored minister?

Where is the emperor who doesn't want Heiwa to do the work, it's that people have a heart:

Your Majesty, compared to those ministers who are full of poetry and books, the ministers are not blind at most, and I can't be an official, but in the days of making cement, I have figured out some good things, and when I make these, I will look back at you!

What can I do? In addition to the position of general counsel of the cement mill, he continues to be hanging, receiving a salary of ten thousand years, if he can toss other tricks, he will continue to pay him a monthly salary.

Compared to those who have average ability and are not weak in power desires, this kind of contentment is simply too cute.

I just moved, the top priority is to divide the yard, the Heiwa family and the old Yuan Tou and the third courtyard where the two people live, this main courtyard has five independent courtyards, each courtyard has more than ten rooms.

The location and the house are also the best repaired, and the children in the main house can be fully arranged.

The first entrance is to the street, which is used as a reception hall and a gatehouse, a bookkeeper and a guard in the front yard.

The second is the front yard, there are also three courtyards, Mr. Fan lives in the courtyard on the right, chooses a courtyard in the middle for the babies to read, and the courtyard on the left is given to Xiaochuan and Xiaoshan, who came to study with him, and Zhao Leiting lives together.

He is now Heiwa's long-term follower, this is the seedling of the big housekeeper cultivated by Heiwa for Bofu, although he has not signed a deed of sale, but he can hire a contract system, and the annual salary is 120 taels.

Yuan Lao Er and Yuan Lao San's family lived in the fourth entrance, one left and one right, and each family was divided into a large courtyard with ten rooms, and each had a corner door to enter and exit, which was very free. There are also several small courtyards in the center, and there is no problem with visiting courtyards.

The fifth courtyard has the most, a full eight, but the area of each courtyard is smaller than the first two, and it is a place where the slaves of large families are housed.

There is a set in each courtyard, and there is a rockery lake in the main courtyard, in which lotus and lotus are planted, and a lot of fish are raised.

Flowers and trees are indispensable, it is really the so-called step by step, they can't enjoy the scenery for ten days and a half months, it is too interesting.

Ma sat in the hall, didn't say a word for a long time, his eyes were red, and then he sobbed, and the old Yuan was wooden: "What are you doing?" What are you? ”

Ma Shi wiped the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief, pressed his throat and said: "Boss, I didn't expect it, I can still live the life of this old lady, I didn't murmur better to my eldest sister and boss before, I regret it!" ”

"What do you say, old woman, what are you thinking? The boss is not the kind of person who doesn't count, you deserve it, it's a medium-sized, then everyone will have a hard time, and I complain that I can't make a lot of money, otherwise, the conscription that year can be spent on the top..."

"What nonsense? If you spend money, can our boss still have today? "The Ma family disagreed, if they didn't fight with the King of Shu, where would their family have a good life today.

"Hey, that's what you said, so what do you regret? Are you afraid that the boss won't let you live in Bofu? ”

"I... I'm not thinking about it.... If only I had been nicer to the Boss.... Maybe the boss will give me a please... Please! ”

"I say, what do you regret, you still want to be a lady, you can really think about it, old woman!"

Old man Yuan never expected that this old woman still had such great ambitions, a stepmother, and wanted her son who was not her own to earn her life, how could people's hearts be so dissatisfied? Old Yuan Tou flicked his sleeves angrily and went out.

Ma Shi silently reminisced in the room alone, yes, this day is so good, why is he so dissatisfied?

Think about it, if it weren't for these days, this second daughter-in-law muttered in front of her all day long, if she could be the wife of the decree, her two grandsons could marry the daughter of a high family, could she think narrowly? patted her head, this, the pit dug for her by her son and daughter-in-law!

Cuihua can't care what others think, this will make her too busy, busy buying people, the bosses of several big tooth shops in the capital have brought people to the Yuan Mansion to sell.

Afraid that her management level is too inferior, Cuihua is cheeky to ask the queen for a few aunts in charge, in the palace, the palace maids in their thirties have reached the age, and they don't want to leave the palace, most of them have no thoughts in their hometowns, but in the palace, after a long time, there is no hope.

Hearing that the queen was going to choose a housekeeper aunt for the henchman's family, this errand almost broke his head, and those who were originally low-key and did not cause trouble all went their own ways, and finally came to the queen, there were more than a dozen.

"Mama, you said, is this palace going to let some older palace maids out of the palace, you see that these thirty or forty-year-old people still want to go out, in the past, it was estimated that there was no good place to go."

"Niangniang, there are a lot of them here, they are all small and poor, it is estimated that many of them have been sold before they can remember, and most of the people who can marry out of the palace are widowers, hey, it is better to be comfortable in the palace. It's a good way out to be an aunt in the housekeeper of Xungui's family, not to mention an upstart like Zhongqin Bofu, who has no foundation, but it's an old steward when he goes! ”

"Hehe, the Yuan Mansion is still fragrant, but, Mama, among these people, choose carefully, there are not many masters in the Yuan Mansion, and there are no twists and turns, but you can't choose those who make trouble, and be careful not to choose other people's dark piles."

"Yes, Niangniang, wait for the old slave to find out and then send it to Mrs. Yuan."

Before the helper came, Cuihua only bought thirty little girls and thirty boys, all of whom were four or five years old.

Lu Xiuniang took Nan Nan to watch the whole process, and Nan Nan looked at many girls who were about the same size as her, and she was very happy: "Auntie, will there be many little sisters to play with me in the future?" ”

Cuihua touched her head lovingly, she basically treats her as a girl now: "Yes, will you choose the two most obedient little girls to play with you in the future?" ”

Oh, it's so good, there's no little sister or anything, I don't know who to say it to!

Lu Xiuniang took Nan Nan to live in the fifth best courtyard, this yard will be used to make an embroidery room in the future, Lu Xiuniang can be upgraded to be an embroidery room manager, Nan Nan is officially apprenticed, and now she is her chief apprentice, waiting with her.

In the end, the queen rewarded the four palace maids of the Yuan Mansion, this generosity, but also stunned the people in the capital, these are not those palace maids who have been released out of the palace to go to the house when they are old, these are all people who have lived in the palace for more than 30 years, and they are not afraid to hold on to four at once.

Cuihua, who has a good appetite, received the four aunts sent by the queen's mother, smiled happily, thanked the queen's henchman and grandmother many times, and gave the little princess several large boxes of candy.

The henchman and Cuihua explained in detail the situation of these four housekeepers:

Aunt Dong, 43 years old, entered the palace at the age of 3, the aunt of the emperor's imperial chamberlain, proficient in tea art and female red;

Aunt Xia, 40 years old, entered the palace at the age of 5, the aunt in charge of the former Emperor Shangyi Bureau, proficient in music and etiquette;

Aunt Qiu, 41 years old, entered the palace at the age of 4, the aunt of the former emperor's food bureau, proficient in diet and medical science;

Aunt Chun, 45 years old, this aunt is the most special, she is the Queen Mother, the emperor's maid, the girl who grew up in the Cao Gang, accompanied her into the palace, and later was imprisoned with the concubine for a few years.

Now that the emperor is out of breath, the queen mother is living a good life, and she wants to come out and live a few days of relaxation.

Listening to the introduction of the queen's henchman, Cuihua is very grateful to the queen in her heart, these people should have been screened layer by layer, as for Aunt Chun who came to her house to care for the elderly, it is not a problem, pension, this is a good arrangement.

And the others, but they all have specialties, they belong to high-end technical talents, and it is okay to train girls for their own families, and even raise a few nieces.
