"Hey, what are you guys doing? Ran over early in the morning and tinkled loudly, and didn't let people sleep? ”

The early spring morning was still a little chilly, and the spring rain put on a padded coat and pushed open the door, and saw a group of men who were busy moving bricks and stones outside the door, and then shouted.

At this time, a person who looked like a housekeeper stepped forward and smiled: "It's the Spring Rain girl, right?" This is the order of the prince, saying that this cool pavilion should be repaired well, and now the wasteland outside the door should be repaired first, and flowers and trees must be planted, paved with terrazzo bluestone, and dotted with plum orchid bamboo chrysanthemum, which is called beautiful. ”

"Master's orders?"

Chunyu was stunned. The housekeeper smiled: "Why doesn't the girl believe it?" If it wasn't for the master's orders, we would dare to break into this backyard? How? Didn't the prince tell his aunt about this? Speaking of which, the master is really attentive this time, and he personally designed the drawings, just for the piece outside the door. There are so many courtyards in our palace, and none of them have seen him so meticulous. ”

"That'...... Come on, you guys are busy first, and I'll go back and tell my aunt. ”

Chunyu scratched her head, returned to the courtyard and closed the courtyard door, and when she entered the house, Xin Nian was combing the girl's hair, and when she heard the footsteps, she didn't raise her head and asked, "What's going on?" ”

"It was said that it was the master's order, to repair this Qingliang Pavilion, and start repairing it from the periphery......"

Chunyu told the story again, Xin Nian rolled his eyes, gritted his teeth and scolded in a low voice: "This bastard guy is still a thief." ”

"Aunt ......"

"Okay, I got it."

Xin Nian nodded, only to hear Chunyu say urgently: "That...... In the future, when the outside is finished, won't you go into the courtyard? What shall we do? ”

"Let's go to the backyard and find a yard to live in for a few days, keep an eye on the progress here, when it's repaired, let's move back."

After Xin Nian finished speaking, he only heard Xinghua smile and said: "But if Aunt Fan has chosen the yard, I'm afraid that this Qingliang Pavilion will not be repaired." ”

Xin Nian smiled: "The prince wants to pinch me, he wants to be beautiful, do you really think I can't pinch him?" At that time, I will naturally have a way to ask him to repair the Qingliang Pavilion as soon as possible and let us move back. ”

As he was talking, he suddenly heard someone outside the courtyard call the door, Xinghua hurriedly went out, and after a while, he came in and whispered: "Auntie, Mrs. Shizi sent a few people over, saying that there are few people serving in our courtyard, and there are not enough." ”

"Mrs. Shizi? Is it Madame? Xin Nian raised his eyebrows: "Not grandma?" ”

"It's not." Xinghua shook her head: "I know Aunt Jiang who accompanied her, she is Madame's wet nurse, because Madame is weak, so she will marry with her." ”

Xin Nian thought for a moment and nodded, "Let them in." ”

A few people entered the door a moment later, and Aunt Jiang had a smile on her face, and her etiquette was also thoughtful, and she did not despise her because Xin Nian was not favored in the past, and saw her hugging the six boys, so she smiled and praised: "Yesterday, our lady went back and said that my aunt never interacts with the backyard, which Cheng wants the sixth young master and the fourth girl to look good, and no one likes it, because she talks until midnight, and regrets that she is not in good health, and she has not had a son and a half daughter ......."

Xin Nian immediately became alert, but his face was silent, and he said lightly: "What is this?" Madame is still young, and in time, there will always be a time when her children will be around her knees. What is the lady doing here? It shouldn't just be for the sake of watching Liuzai and Yaya, right? ”

Aunt Jiang seemed to be a little disappointed on her face, but she immediately covered it up and said enthusiastically: "Madame met my aunt and the sixth young master and the fourth girl yesterday, and knew that there were not enough people to serve here in Qingliang Pavilion, so I specially sent a slave maid to send a few maids. Auntie, look at it, these are the most diligent and clever among the minions who entered the house last month, and with them helping to sprinkle and sweep and serve the young master, my aunt can also save some effort. ”

Xin Nian raised her eyes and saw that the four girls behind Aunt Jiang squatted down together to salute.

She looked at it twice, and saw that these four girls were not pretty, and they did look smart enough, so she nodded and smiled: "It's okay, I really lack people here, I'll go over to Mrs. Xie in person later." By the way, there is one more thing, the eldest lady went back to help me tell my wife, and said that now the lord's order, Qingliang Pavilion should be repaired well, I am only afraid that I will temporarily go to the backyard to store, and come back after the renovation, please ask Mrs. to help pick a yard for me to live temporarily. ”

Aunt Jiang sighed and said: "Mrs. came back last night and said that the lord and aunt have known each other since childhood, as long as the aunt changes her mind, the lord still cares for you, sure enough, isn't this coming?" Aunt don't worry, I'll tell my wife when I go back. When I first came, I also saw that there were dozens of workers outside, too messy, and I hurriedly cleaned up the yard and asked my aunt to move over today. ”

Xin Nian smiled: "There's no need to be in such a hurry, there is still something to get outside, and you can wait for two or three days." ”

Aunt Jiang agreed, and when she saw that there was nothing else, she said goodbye and left.

Here Xin Nian looked at a few girls, asked them about their backgrounds, and assigned errands at random: one named Yang Liu, who looked diligent and clever, handed over the trivial tasks of cleaning up the room to her; Red Leaves, Green Leaves, responsible for yard sprinkling and other chores; There is also a man named Jin Needle, because his mother is an embroiderer, so he is in charge of the work of needlework and clothes in the house.

After the distribution, Xin Nian picked up the teacup and drank tea, while quietly looking at everyone's expressions, but he didn't see anything abnormal.

Taking advantage of the spring rain to take a few people out, Xinghua whispered: "Auntie, is this to prevent them?" I think Madame probably also took this into consideration, and in order to show her sincerity, she assigned us a few newcomers who had just entered the house. ”

Xin Nian nodded, thought for a while, and said, "Madam is a gentle and virtuous person, and she has never quarreled with others, but if she can be trusted, it doesn't mean that others can also be trusted." What about newcomers? We don't have a foundation, so how can we keep them loyal? Even if you are faithful now, do you dare to be faithful in the future? ”

"Yes." Xinghua thought of the Liao family's autocracy, and her heart was also vigilant, and she nodded solemnly: "Is it because I am careless, or my aunt is cautious and careful." ”

"You've always been careful, and this time it's not careless, but you just don't want to think of people in the worst way. But Xinghua, Gu Changting has great ability, he doesn't care much about the backyard, so all the courtyards in this mansion are all intrigued and intrigued, since we want to integrate into it, we have to remember those fourteen words. You can't have the heart to hurt others, and you can't have the heart to defend people. ”

Xinghua said solemnly: "Auntie is right, I will tell Chunyu this truth when I go back." ”

Xin Nian nodded, then stood up: "Wait a while, you and Chunyu will simply clean up in the house, I'll go over to see Mrs., and by the way, choose a yard, and after choosing, we'll move over." ”

"Yes." Xinghua agreed, and when she saw Xin Nian going out and leaving, she immediately followed her instructions and cleaned up.
