The lobby of Anyuan is also new, I heard that it was the first time Mr. Qiu came to this Anyuan when he had a hangover, and woke up the next morning to see the morning light in the lobby, which was extremely transparent and bright, so he waved his hand and named it Chaoyuan Hall on the spot. The plaque on it is still by Mr. Qiu.

There are five rooms at the main entrance of this Chaoyuan Hall, the loach ridge of the barrel tile above, the door railing and window are finely carved with fresh patterns, and there is no vermilion powder decoration, a color of the water mill group wall, and the white stone platform below is chiseled into passionflower patterns. Snow white as far as the eye can see. Pink wall, the tiger skin stone below is built with the momentum, and when you look forward, you can see the white stone or like a ghost, or like a beast, arching vertically and horizontally. Let's talk about the three hanging flower gatehouses outside, and the verandah on all sides. The courtyard is connected with each other and dotted with mountains and stones. The furnishings in Chaoyuan Hall are very simple, but there is no lack of gorgeousness, the roof is round, the ground is paved with a soft and fine floor stall in the middle, the middle is a jade screen of ink on the wall, a rosewood table is set up outside, and the two sides are the Taishi chairs with dark red Jiao pattern reliefs, and the other two sides are also similar to the furnishings, but the Taishi chairs are replaced by high slings with worse regulations.

The place outside the second gate, Shen Nanzhi only turned around when he returned to the house at most, but he didn't expect Chaoyuantang to be so magnificent, and with Mr. Qiu's words, it was really even more heroic. When she entered, a group of subordinates were already waiting in the courtyard, and there were about sixty or eighty people at a cursory glance, and the older ones took the initiative to stand at the forefront.

Shen Nanzhi didn't go in either, and asked Mo Song to move a Taishi chair out and put it on the steps in the courtyard, she sat down leisurely, resisted the desire to yawn, and looked left and right at the people in the courtyard. Everyone stood upright, but seeing that Shen Nanzhi didn't speak for a long time, he began to gradually become restless, first a few people secretly looked up at the young second grandmother, and then a few others in the back couldn't help but turn their heads and ears.

Shen Nanzhi didn't speak, but the voice was really not small, and a mother-in-law standing in the center of the front turned her head to find the source of the voice, and then looked back at the expressionless second grandmother, and then walked to the back with an arrow step, and slapped the two low-talking girls each: "You two came out of there!?" Is it okay for the dog to eat the rules? Second grandma let you speak? ”

The two little girls were stunned for a moment, and hurriedly apologized, and the mother-in-law who beat people returned to the front and gave Shen Nanzhi a gentle blessing: "Let the second grandmother laugh, these two little girls don't know where they came from, they don't have any rules at all!" ”

Shen Nanzhi straightened up at this time, "Hmm...... Who is this mom? ”

"Back to the second grandmother, the slave's surname is Rong, and Mrs. Hou sent her over to serve the second grandmother and the second master." That Mother Rong replied with a smile.

This person looks like he is in his early forties, not tall or thin, and he looks scheming and ruthless, especially those shining eyes, which make people feel very thoughtful.

Knowing that Mother Rong was the person sent by the Dong family, Shen Nanzhi understood why she dared to punish the two girls like this, thinking that those two girls must be from the second lady or the third lady.

Shen Nanzhi tilted his head and whispered a few words to Lilac, and Lilac responded and said loudly to everyone below: "Whoever sent you will all stand together, and the first lady will marry and the Jiang family will also be separated, and now there is something to do in our Anyuan to stand in front, and those who have not yet been assigned to the buddies will go to the back!" ”

After that, there was a sound of chattering from below, and everyone was a little puzzled about what the second grandmother meant, and no one moved their steps for a long time.

After all, the person who sent it didn't say it secretly, she should at least treat everyone equally on the surface, and the last thing she shouldn't have was to treat people wrongly, and people were secretly slandering - this kind of thing The second grandmother also brought it to the table, and she couldn't tell what bad thoughts she was holding back......

None of the people at the top were in a hurry, Juan Bi made a pot of snow top Hancui and brought it up, Mo Song and Lilac stood left and right, without the slightest hesitation and worry, and finally someone couldn't stand it down, and obediently divided it according to Lilac's words, and everyone began to move slowly, and each stood behind their own housekeeper mother in front.

Shen Nanzhi took a sip of tea in a leisurely manner, and then slowly pointed to a few people who started to move: "You two, the old man Jiang sent it, and the two of you, and the one behind the third lady, you five stand up." ”

These five people, two men and three women, all have one thing in common - they are young and do not have their own positions.

The five men walked out tremblingly. Shen Nanzhi asked the names, places of origin, and ages of the five people one by one, and Lilac on the side rummaged through the records of the five people in a heavy booklet, and found them all in a short time.

Shen Nanzhi glanced at it, the two little servants of the Jiang family are both sixteen years old this year, and they only came to Lu Yunqi's side after Jiang Laoguo's grandfather died of illness two years ago.

The other three little girls, two were given by the third lady and one by the second lady, and they were only seen between the ages of thirteen and fifteen—their previous experience was blank, that is to say, they had just bought it by the two ladies.

As Shen Nanzhi expected, she closed the booklet and said softly: "Actually, I shouldn't care who you sent here, I also want to find a balance when you stand apart, but you don't have to forget that you were sent to Anyuan, and the future masters will be me and the second master." The voice was soft, but loud, "I just told you to separate, but a group of people did not move, I know that you also have your considerations, but I, as the master, asked you to do the first thing, and it took you nearly a stick of incense to finish." ”

After that, everyone suddenly realized why the second grandmother just pointed out the five people - they were the most obedient to the new lord in a group of people!

There was silence below, and Shen Nanzhi waved his hand to ask the five people to go back and stand up, and said: "This new mansion has just been established, and I am a newcomer in the mansion, and I am still unclear about everyone, especially my mother and the ability and temper of the housekeeper, so I want to simply separate you, and everyone has arranged a seat, so as not to blame the mother-in-law and the two aunts over there." I'll gather you again in a while, and I'll make adjustments then......"

"Second grandmother, the slave maid feels that something is wrong!" Na Rong's mother directly interrupted Shen Nanzhi's words, seemingly kind, but her attitude was very tough, "Second grandma, you are a newcomer, I don't know if we are all common sense, but you can basically find out one or two by asking around, why bother to be blind with your eyes open?" The slave and maid said something arrogant, the slave and maid who were at Mrs. Hou's place before were waiting in the back room! Mrs. Hou called the slave and maid over to mean that she was also serving the second grandmother in the room and helping the master to train her subordinates, you said that she was seeking a balance, but asking the slave and maid to take care of the kitchen and the slave and maid could not afford this responsibility! ”
