Chapter 303: Settle In
Gu Yunji's official residence is next to the street behind the Xuzhou Mansion, which is very close to the Mansion, and it is very convenient to go up and down. Because his official rank is only the sixth grade, the official residence is not big, but it is more than enough to live in their family, which is much more spacious than when he was in the capital.
It is true that as Chen Xunzhou said, the inside of the official mansion is arranged in advance, it is cleaned inside and out, and the furniture is complete, which is not luxurious, but it is very economical and practical, Gu Yunji and his party only need to move in directly with their luggage.
There are still three or four old servants in the house, Chen Peishi introduced: "Lord Chen thought that you were new to the house, and you should be short of people to do things, so he sent a few old servants. ”
Gu Yunji himself also brought some small servants, and now with these old servants, there are already more than ten people in the house, and it is enough to take care of the daily life of their family of three, but it is just right.
Gu Yunji sighed at Chen Xunzhou's meticulousness and thoughtfulness, and couldn't help but bring a few heartfelt sincerity when he spoke: "There are enough people, thank Master Chen for me, if I am free another day, I will definitely visit his house in person." ”
Chen Peishi nodded, and asked again: "My lord, see if there is anything missing, if you need it, you can order me to do it at any time." ”
Gu Yunji said: "No need, I've worked hard for you today, you can go back first, just follow me to the mansion on time tomorrow morning." ”
Chen Peishi answered, then turned around and left the house.
Although the furniture and utensils in the house are very complete, and there are basically nothing that needs to be added, Gu Yunji and his party brought a lot of luggage, and it took a lot of time just to put these things together, not to mention getting familiar with the environment, taking over the affairs of the new home, and so on.
When everything was cleaned up, it was already evening, and Gu Yunji was about to take a good rest, when he saw Qiu Xiao coming in from outside and said, "My lord, madam, I know that Lord Chen has sent two more people to serve." ”
Gu Yunji was puzzled: "Huh? Didn't I say that there were enough people, why did he send people over? ”
Qiu Xiao hung her head, glanced at Xu Shuhua next to her, and hesitated: "...... The other party said that Lord Chen saw that the backyard of my family was empty, so he specially selected two young and beautiful women to come over to serve, and these two women were born in Jiangnan and had a gentle temperament, which should be more in line with the preferences of my family. ”
Xu Shuhua didn't have any special expression when he heard this, he took a sip of tea casually, and said coolly: "It's not easy to find a beauty from Jiangnan in Xuzhou Mansion, and Lord Chen really bothered." ”
Feeling the air on his side that was a little colder in an instant, Gu Yunji's eyebrows jumped, and he immediately said resolutely: "I don't want it!" Let them bring people back! ”
Qiu Xiao looked embarrassed: "But ...... The other party sent the person directly and left, and there was no chance for us to refuse, if we wanted not to accept it, unless we chased it to Lord Chen's mansion and sent the person back in person. ”
Anyway, Chen Xunzhou's move was also out of his desire to make friends with Gu Yunji, he didn't accept it, if he chased someone to someone's house and sent him back, wouldn't that be Chen Xunzhou's face in public?
Xu Shuhua said calmly: "What are you going to do when you send it back?" People are also out of good intentions, you just arrived in Xuzhou Mansion, if you offend Tongzhi as soon as you come, the future will not be easy, let people stay. ”
After three years of marriage, it is not uncommon for various relatives and friends to give Gu Yunji beauties, but they were either rejected by him or rejected by Xu Shuhua, and it was the first time that Xu Shuhua took the initiative to leave it like today.
Qiu Xiao faintly noticed that Xu Shuhua was a little unhappy, and didn't dare to touch her moldy head, but she had to ask, so she could only look at Gu Yunji: "That...... My lord, how do you arrange these two people? ”
Gu Yunji didn't dare to take this hot potato, so he turned his head decisively and asked Xu Shuhua: "Madam, how to arrange it?" ”
Xu Shuhua looked at him funny: "This is the beauty that Lord Chen gave you, you ask me how to arrange it?" ”
Gu Yunji said as a matter of course: "The lady is now the mistress of this house, and she is the housewife in charge, and you are in charge of the affairs in the house, not to mention these two people, even I have to rely on the lady's arrangement, of course I have to ask you." ”
Xu Shuhua looked into his eyes, trying to see a little duplicity in them, and said with a smile: "I can arrange it however?" ”
Just arrived at Xuzhou Mansion, and before her ass was hot, a woman was stuffed next to her husband, Gu Yunji substituted Xu Shuhua herself, and she felt so depressed that she would naturally not interfere with her decision at this time, and said firmly and seriously: "You can arrange it however, it's all up to you." ”
The corners of Xu Shuhua's mouth hooked slightly, and he deliberately said to Qiu Xiao, "Okay, just put these two Jiangnan people in the adult room, and take care of his daily life." ”
"No way!" Gu Yunji stood up suddenly, raised his eyebrows and said, "You can't put it in my room, I don't want it!" ”
Xu Shuhua's eyes flashed, and his eyebrows smiled: "Didn't you say that you can arrange it no matter what?" ”
Gu Yunji was angry and hurriedly explained: "I mean lighting the fire, cooking, doing laundry, cleaning, and taking care of the garden...... In these affairs, you can arrange them however you want, just use them as ordinary maidservants, not for you to arrange them in my room! ”
"You...... You know that I don't want to, but you have to say this, you are deliberately angry with me! Gu Yunji was angry and aggrieved, asking for too much sex, and ignoring her angrily.
Xu Shuhua saw that Gu Yunji was really unhappy, so he hurriedly came over and stroked his chest, and comforted him in a good voice: "I didn't mean to be angry with you, I'm joking with you." ”
Listening to his wife's soft voice, Gu Yunji felt a lot better, but he still kept a straight face: "Are you so joking?" ”
Seeing Chen Xunzhou sending a woman to Gu Yunji, Xu Shuhua was originally unhappy, but he had to accept it because of his face, and he was even more unhappy. But at this moment, seeing that Gu Yunji was angry like this, and her attitude towards this matter was even more repulsive than her, the boredom in Xu Shuhua's chest suddenly dissipated, and he couldn't regain any anger.
Xu Shuhua coaxed him very patiently: "It's me who is wrong, I am wrong, I will not make this kind of joke with you in the future, okay?" How about I send these two people to the kitchen to cook without being next to you? ”
"Whatever you want, don't put it in my room anyway." Gu Yunji lost his anger, and suddenly had two twists, "It stands to reason that when someone else sends me a woman, it should be that you are angry and I will coax you, why is it that you are coaxing me now?" ”
Xu Shuhua smiled with crooked eyebrows: "You're angry, don't I coax you?" Besides, I know you won't accept other women, so what do I have to be angry about? ”
Gu Yunji snorted lightly: "Hmph, duplicity, if you are really not angry, you will make such a joke with me?" ”
Xu Shuhua blushed and was a little embarrassed: "I'm not actually targeting you......"
Gu Yunji can understand her mood very well, this era is like this, he is in an official position, and his daily communication cannot be separated from money, power, and women, even if he doesn't speak, there will still be a lot of people rushing to send him over.
In fact, if it weren't for Gu Yunji's unwanting, Xu Shuhua would have no position and qualifications to refuse for him, including even if he was unswervingly devoted to her now, if one day he changed his mind and accepted the woman sent by others, Xu Shuhua couldn't do anything.
Under the seemingly unintentional joke, what is hidden is the temptation of Gu Yunji's mind and the distrust of the man who grew up under the feudal society.
Gu Yunji understood this, sighed silently, gently hugged Xu Shuhua into his arms, and said softly: "No matter how many promises there are, they are just empty words after all, too vain, I will use time to prove to you that the sentence 'You are enough in this life' is serious." ”
Xu Shuhua pressed against his chest, felt his blazing heartbeat, and whispered, "Okay, I believe in you." ”
