Chapter 31: Settling In

In the easternmost corner of the palace, there is a two-meter-wide walkway beyond a wall, and then there is East Street. This compound has not been inhabited since it was built, and the houses are fine. The furniture was new except for the ash, except for a mulberry tree, and the courtyard was full of weeds, not even a road, let alone floor tiles.

When the housekeepers came to clean, they only swept the dust, and the weeds in the yard were cut and all went back. Jiu Ge looked up and down the courtyard, although it didn't fit his temperament, but he was still very satisfied with this location.

The Spring and Autumn Equinox and the newcomer Dates had a sad face, both worried about Jiuge's future. Only Xia Zhi immediately understood Jiu Ge's satisfied smile when he saw the courtyard wall, some people were glamorous on the surface, but behind the scenes, they were a professional household over the wall.

Chaoyang finished his work, led the family out, turned back, and respectfully returned in front of Jiu Ge: "Niangniang, your dowry has been placed in the West Wing, you take inventory, this is the deed of the date girl, the prince said to ask Niangniang to give her name and keep it, and all other matters, please also ask Niangniang to deal with it herself." ”

"Okay, you know, you can go. "Jiu Ge took the deed, this prince knows quite well, and knows that he is protecting this girl in the name of disposal. However, do you dispose of this by yourself, including rice?

"Miss, there's a kitchen here, and there's water in the well at the door. "I don't know when the autumn equinox has run to the hut next to the main hall, this girl has become more and more interested in cooking since she learned a little cooking skills from Jiu Ge.

"Okay, if you don't give us food, let's buy it ourselves and make it ourselves, the spring and autumn equinox, and dates, the three of you keep to clean the house and make the bed, the quilt is in the dowry pile in the west wing, you also have yours, summer solstice, you go with me to buy vegetables." ”

The Spring and Autumn Equinox received the order and happily cleaned the house, and the dates hesitated for a moment, and followed to sweep the east wing. Anyway, I have nowhere to go, and now that I am in the princess, I can only follow her, anyway, she seems to be quite good, except that she is not favored.

Jiu Ge changed into a set of clothes that were convenient for climbing over the wall, took the summer solstice, climbed over two walls, and walked a few more steps to East Street.

The guards at the east gate looked at the two of them and were directly stunned, is this door for decoration? Is there also the enchantment of this house removed? It seems that we have to quickly find the chief of the guard to react.

At this time, it is just in the afternoon, the sun is just right, and the winter is warm, and the East Street vegetable market only sells some dry goods, and there are such as potatoes that can be stored for a long time, and there is no fruit directly, but pork is never lacking.

Jiuge bought and bought all the way, there was no food to eat in winter and spring, so I could only eat these dry goods, and it was nothing to buy more. The meat will not spoil when the temperature is low, and depending on the weather, it may snow again tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and you won't be able to get out of the house if it snows.

The two of them carried two baskets and a few wooden barrels and iron basins back to the courtyard wall when they came out, and when they were about to go up, the chief of the guard, Chaoyang, hurriedly ran over and stopped the two.

"Mother, mother, there is a door over there. ”

Jiu Ge was stunned, and when he looked to the right, there was indeed a door, and there were two guards, who came out too quickly to see it.

"Then don't you want a token or something?" After all, if you are caught over the wall, you still have to maintain your face.

"I don't need to go out. "Chaoyang is embarrassed, who dares to stop it, the eight palace masters can easily break through the enchantment, these two guards can stop it?

The two guards in the back said again and again, "Whatever the mother wants to mention when she goes out, leave it to us, and we will mention it." As he spoke, he lifted the basket on the ground.

Of course, Jiu Ge didn't know anything about himself breaking through the barrier of others, and followed behind the doorman with his hands behind his back, watching the two of them staggering towards the Sangtian Courtyard.

The two guards kept regretting in their hearts, they shouldn't have slapped this fart a long time ago, this princess put an iron bar in her basket so heavy.

When they arrived at the mulberry field, the three little girls had already cleaned up the house, cleaned up the fallen leaves and branches under the mulberry tree, and left a pile of garbage.

Jiu Ge thought about forgetting to buy firewood, and turned his head to stop the two guards who had already run to the door.

"Come back, come back, help Princess Ben buy a few bundles of firewood, and carbon, ask for silver carbon, and take this pile of garbage out by the way. Jiu Ge took out ten taels of silver from his arms.

The two guards complained again and again, "Niangniang, the slave still has to go back to guard the door." ”

Jiu Ge threw the silver directly over, "I know you have changed shifts, and you still want to deceive this princess?"

"Don't dare, don't dare, the slave will go immediately. The two guards picked up the silver, picked up the garbage, and ran away without a trace.

Jiu Ge smiled proudly, looked back left and right, and it seemed that he had to pack up a firewood room and come out.

"Where do you sleep?"

"Miss, we live in the two rooms in the east wing by the main room. The two rooms in the back were empty and had been cleaned. ”

Jiu Ge walked in and took a look, the space is quite large, but the fire prevention effect is not good, but there is no way for the time being, let's use it first.

"Just make the outermost room into a firewood room, and move two water tanks over and put water on them. Gu Yu thought about it, and directly used Xuanli to move the two large water tanks to the well, and when the friends were full of water, they used their strength to move the water tanks to the front of the firewood room.

After doing this, the five of them sat in the pavilion next to the mulberry tree and chatted, and when the firewood returned, it was almost ready to make dinner.

Jiu Ge looked at this barren courtyard and had various plans in his heart.

I have to stay here for a year and a half, Ruth has to shop one, other places can grow flowers and vegetables, and outside business must also be arranged, so the manpower must be enough.

Jiu Ge looked at his existing four girls, "Dates, you will be my person in the future, you don't need to go back to your courtyard to sprinkle and sweep, you can be directly promoted to the first-class girl and the same level as the summer solstice, the name will be changed to the winter solstice." ”

"Slave and maid thank Niangniang for saving her life. "The winter solstice got up and wanted to bow down, but was pulled back by the fast-eyed summer solstice, which is what Miss usually hates the most.

Jiu Ge really frowned, "In the future, you will be casual in front of people, and don't call yourself a slave or maid in the future, let alone kneel to me at will." Of course, don't do betrayal or anything like that, otherwise, don't say that you can't be protected, even if you are killed, no one will say anything. ”

The four girls nodded again and again, sitting on the slave maid, it is already good to meet a kind and capable person, and what kind of betrayal is there.

Jiu Ge put on a satisfied smile, put Erlang's legs up, leaned on the pillar and continued to arrange things super comfortably. "We shouldn't be able to buy male house slaves to go into the yard? Do you know where the maids are better, the ones that are strong and can carry them?"

"Ordinary maids are bought from the tooth woman, like me and the autumn equinox, if the young lady needs to be strong, you can go to the market. "The vernal equinox is in the capital, so I know more.

"Can there be a woman who has practiced martial arts to sell in the human market?"

"Yes, there are civilian immortal cultivators who have some strength, but because they can't enter the immortal gate, they will enter big families as guards. ”

"Okay, then I'll check it out tomorrow. ”
