Chapter 135: Tao Ranju (1)
Tao Ranju is a three-way courtyard, the front courtyard is a courtyard for entertaining guests to rest, and the next floor is the middle hall, where it will be carried out when meeting guests or doing some important activities, and the left and right wings can also entertain guests to stay and eat. The courtyard was occupied by the servants, and the kitchen was close there. The third entrance is the owner's house, which is not only exquisitely furnished, but also has more than a dozen large and small rooms.
Yuxi only had one thought after reading it, it was really spacious enough. After walking around, Yuxi said, "Why is there no backyard here?" No wonder Zisu's girl sold her guanzi, it turned out that Tao Ranju didn't have a backyard at all.
Kufu explained with a smile: "Girl, Tao Ranju is relatively large, and the location is also very good, so there is no yard left in the back. "The reason why the Rose Courtyard has a backyard is not only because it was built relatively small, but also because it is located in the middle of nowhere.
Yuxi looked at the courtyard, and there were two green pines against the wall on the east side. Yuxi has been very impressed by these two green pines for many years.
These two green pines grow very well, tall and tall. There was also a pear marble table under the pine tree, a wooden stool with fur felt, and a cobblestone path that stretched to the stone table.
After reading it, Yuxi muttered, "Just this place, where can I grow roses!" Although this place is more spacious, Yuxi thinks that the Rose Courtyard is better. Without him, there were buildings all over the place, and she was surrounded by them, and it didn't feel very good.
Zi Su couldn't understand Yuxi: "Girl, this place is much better than the Rose Courtyard, that is, your study, which is more than twice as big as before." ”
Yuxi glanced at Zisu and said, "What does reading have to do with how big the study is?"
Zi Su said: "How can it be okay? The study has a large light, and the light will not damage the eyes! Also, the girl can embroider in the embroidery room in the future, and there is no need to embroider in the yard." "In the past, in the Rose Courtyard, there were too few houses, and there were not enough places to live, so where could I move one as an embroidery room, but now I don't have to worry about that.
Yuxi muttered, "I haven't embroidered for a long time." "Not only have I not embroidered for more than half a month, but I haven't touched calligraphy for more than half a month.
Yuxi entered the bedroom, looked at Yishui's yellow rosewood furniture, and couldn't help but say to Zisu: "You don't have to envy Yuchen in the future." ”
Zi Su couldn't cry or laugh: "Girl, envy is also envy, okay?" Where did she envy, she was just fighting for her own girl at that time.
Yuxi looked at these pieces of furniture and said softly, "I don't know who these things are for?" It has been twenty or thirty years.
Kufu was more clear about this, and said, "Girl, the furniture in the bedroom was moved out of the warehouse by the old lady. Seeing Zisu's puzzled look, Kufu explained: "These things were prepared by the old marquis for the eldest aunt and grandmother, and later when the eldest aunt and grandmother got married, they were locked in the treasury all the time. ”
Yuxi pouted. The aunt and grandmother that Kufu said are her aunts, and they are the same mother as the second master, Han Jingjun. I don't know what she thinks, she actually participated in the palace election, and was finally elected to the palace, but unfortunately she died of illness less than a year after entering the palace, and no matter how much Yuxi is, it is not clear. The woman who entered the palace naturally didn't need to prepare large pieces of furniture, but she didn't expect to be cheaper.
Mai Dong said an inopportune sentence: "Fortunately, those thieves did not set the fire, otherwise these furniture would not have been saved." After saying that, Mai Dong knew that he had said the wrong thing. The events of that night were taboo, and they could not be mentioned in the mansion. The main reason is that there are too many people who died, and there are more than 70 people in total, which can be imagined what a huge number.
Zisu glanced at Mai Dong angrily, but Yuxi was present, and it was not her turn to teach Mai Dong a lesson.
Yuxi said: "Mai Dong, what's going on lately? Either absent-minded or in a daze, or say something boundless? If you tell me something, don't hide it in your heart alone." ”
Mai Dong lowered his head, not knowing what to say.
Zi Su was really angry: "Mai Dong, if you have any difficulties, just tell the girl." If you can't solve it, the girl can help you solve it. ”
Yuxi's expression was very soft: "Say, what is it that makes you so embarrassed?" Seeing that Mai Dong still looked tangled, Yuxi didn't bother to ask more: "You think about it more, and then tell me after you think about it." The four maids beside her didn't talk much about Mai Dong. But because everything she does on weekdays is proper, Yuxi also keeps her.
After reading the bedroom, Yuxi entered the study again. The study room is very spacious, and the furniture here also exudes a quaint taste, and it looks like it has been around for some years. Especially the coffee table in the study, it is still rosewood, Yuxi said: "Where did the things in the study come from?" Yuxi's eyesight is still some, these furniture are at least one hundred and eighty years old.
Zi Su said: "These things were moved from the big warehouse in the front yard by the eldest lady, and I heard Mother Li say that these are things from the old marquis's study." "The so-called large treasury in the front yard of the house means that the things that belong to the public house, like the treasury in the courtyard, all belong to the private house. If you want to use the things in the public, you generally have to be the consent of the family, and your own private house can be used freely.
Yu Xiwan'er, the things in her yard are all patchwork. However, after this disaster, the capital has not been calm, but it is impossible to go outside to buy these furniture, so I can only pour it in my own warehouse: "It's not bad." ”
The furniture in the study is good, the only bad thing is that the space is empty. Yuxi said to herself, "It's a pity that I have those books." Sadly, Shisu only brought out a few of her medical books, but not the few history books she hid in the cupboard, and all the notes she made were burned. But now it's not peaceful outside, and Yuxi can't go out to buy books even if she wants to.
Zi Su didn't regret that he didn't move the books out that day, who made those books too heavy: "Girl, wait a few days, and the girl will buy them again." "Yuxi's set of head jewelry is enough to buy half a shelf of books.
Looking at the pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the desk, the valuable things in the room were all moved out, but in fact, her loss was not big. Yuxi said: "If you want to add anything, I will write a list for you at that time, you don't make your own decisions." "Zisu has always wanted her to have the same treatment as Yuchen, but in fact, Yuxi really thinks it's unnecessary. If you raise too delicately and live too comfortably, if you suffer again in the future, your body will not be able to stand it.
How could Zi Su not know Yuxi's thoughts, although he was unwilling, he still nodded and said, "I know." "Even if she gets something good, the girl will have to put it away if she doesn't want to use it, so why bother with that!
In addition to having a study, Qiu's also arranged an embroidery room and a painting room for Yuxi, as well as a chess room, which is really comprehensive.
Yuxi couldn't help laughing: "Is it necessary to get these? I don't need it, I take up so many rooms in vain." "She doesn't touch a paintbrush all year round. As for the chess room, there is no need, if you want to play chess, you can play directly in the study, where to go to the chess room.
Zi Su said: "Anyway, the room is empty and empty." "Only a few maids and henchmen who serve closely will live in this courtyard, and there are many vacant rooms.
Yuxi waved his hand and said, "The chess room and the painting room have been withdrawn." "Yuxi knew that he planned to emulate Tingyun Pavilion in this matter, but Tingyun Pavilion was not so easy to emulate. Yuxi's chess room and painting room seem to be simply arranged, but in fact, there is a lot of knowledge inside, which makes people feel comfortable and pleasing to the eye when they walk in.
Zi Su took out the Qiu clan and said something: "This is what the eldest lady ordered." ”
Yuxi felt that she was too easy to talk during this time, and said with a cold face: "Do you listen to your aunt, or do you listen to me?"
These words are a little heavy, and Shiso can't stand it a little.
Yuxi felt that he was derelict in his duties, so he asked Shisu to learn books and other things, and did not cultivate Shiso's aesthetic concept. Of course, the main reason is that Zisu went to Tingyun Pavilion very few times, and most of them were followed by Kufu: "Painting a tiger is not an anti-dog, this is what I am talking about now." You're kind, and I'll be a laughing stock then. ”
Shiso's face changed suddenly.
Yuxi didn't want to have anything to do with Zisu, how did she feel that after this change, several maids around her began to be impetuous, which is not a good phenomenon. She has to fix it well, otherwise it will be easy to have problems in this state.
After visiting Tao Ranju, Yuxi took Shisu and Mai Dong back. You have to pick an auspicious day to move over, and this time Yuxi came to see the layout.
Ok-hee lies on the bed reading a medical book. At this time, Mai Dong walked in. Keep your head down, as if you have done something wrong. Yuxi put the book on the pillow: "Say, what is it that makes you so hesitant." ”
What Yuxi didn't expect was that what Mai Dong was hiding in his heart was not one thing. Mai Dong's mother wants her to intercede in front of Yuxi, find an errand for her little brother, and then let her little sister go to Taoranju on an errand, in addition, Mai Dongniang is also ready to give Mai Dong to her cousin.
Mai Dongniang will make these requests, also because the Guogong Mansion is now short of personnel. Mai Dongniang thinks that as long as the fourth girl opens her mouth, she will definitely be able to find a good errand for her son. Wrinkled Mai Dongniang wanted to send her youngest daughter to Taoranju, also because Yuxi was very generous to her subordinates, and there were not many things but many rewards.
The first two asked Yuxi not to pay much attention to it, and the maid sharpened her head to serve the master, but it was just to seek more benefits. But in the last case, she actually wanted to give Mai Dong Xu to her cousin, which crossed Yuxi's bottom line. The maid who serves the master closely cannot marry privately without the consent of the master. Moreover, the maids who generally serve closely will not be released until they are at least eighteen years old, and Mai Dong is only thirteen years old, and the marriage is still early! Yuxi asked with a calm expression: "Is it that I am too generous to you on weekdays, so you want to climb on my head one by one?"
This was said very seriously, and Mai Dong's heart trembled when he heard it, and he immediately knelt on the ground. has been by Yuxi's side for so many years, and she still roughly knows what Yuxi's temperament is. This time, it's the girl who has been provoked.
