The Pretty Eldest Daughter of a Scholar's Family

Chapter 399
Of course, Su Yunduo also had regrets in her heart, after all, she really wanted to use that land to try to grow some special dishes in the capital.

Fortunately, there is no way to solve it. This house always needs to be guarded, as long as the person who stays can wait on the ground.Besides, no matter how inconvenient it is for her to go out, this place is not far from Dongmingfang, so it is much more convenient than Zhuangzi in the suburbs.

Su Yunduo pondered for a moment and smiled: "It's not a pity, the ground won't grow legs and run away by itself, as long as there are people to wait on the things planted in the ground, it's fine. We always have someone to guard the gate of our yard, Dad, why don't we let it go?" Let the old Zhangtou's family stay here, so that there will be someone to clean the door and someone to wait on the ground, and the backyard will always be attended by old Zhangtou."

Lao Zhangtou’s family is relatively simple. His son passed away due to illness a few years ago. Today, the family consists of Lao Zhangtou, who is nearly fifty years old, his wife Zhang Ma, his daughter-in-law Shuiqin in his early thirties, and his 15-year-old son. His grandson, Zhang Dabao, and his family of four work in this house as errands.

On weekdays, Lao Zhangtou looked at the door and waited on the flowers and plants in the backyard. Naturally, Lao Zhangtou was waiting on the land in the backyard. Of course, Zhang Dabao would also help Lao Zhangtou when he was free.

Zhang Ma and Shui Qin both work in the kitchen, one is a cook, and the other does shopping and does some chores.

Because Zhang Dabao was literate and clever, he was brought by Steward Chen's side as an errand runner before the Su family came to Beijing.

When Su Yunduo dealt with the extra servants in the house, he saw that although he was not very old, he was busy with Steward Chen. .

There are only a dozen or so servants in this house, Su Chengzhi like Zhang Ma and Shui Qin probably don't have much impression, but the old man guards the door every day, and Su Chengzhi is clean and careless, going in and out every day Chu Zong also got acquainted with him, so he recognized him, and he was more impressed with Zhang Dabao who ran around with Chen Butler every day.

Hearing Su Yunduo's suggestion at this moment, Su Chengzhi stroked his chin and pondered for a moment and said, "It doesn't seem very good to keep Lao Zhangtou's family here."

Su Yunduo looked up at Su Chengzhi, although he didn't speak, his eyes were filled with inquiries.

"That Zhang Dabao should be the grandson of the old Zhangtou. I think that child is very clever and capable. Following Steward Chen can help Steward Chen do a lot of things!" He brought it up and said that this big treasure obviously caught his eye.

The reason why Su Yunduo made that suggestion just now was mainly for the sake of An Su Chengzhi's heart. Now that he specifically mentioned Zhang Dabao, he naturally has to think about it.

After pondering for a while, Su Yunduo smiled slightly and said, "It's a pity to let Zhang Dabao stay here. Father, you see, this is feasible. The old Zhangtou couple and Shuiqin will stay here. This house is not far from Dongmingfang. Zhang Dabao can come back to visit old Zhangtou and the others when he has time. Two more people will stay here..."

Speaking of this, Su Yunduo suddenly laughed, which not only made Su Chengzhi feel a little puzzled, but even Su Zexuan and Su Zechen, who were sitting quietly in the study and listening to their conversation, also looked at Su Yunduo inexplicably.

Su Yunduo held back her laughter, shook her head and said, "In this case, why do we need to pick and choose? Except for the women, maids and servants serving us, Steward Chen and Zhang Dabao followed us, the others Just stay in this house and continue working as an errand!"

Su Chengzhi thought for a while, and couldn't help but also laughed.

There is already a rough envoy's servant in the courtyard on the other side of Dongmingfang, so there is no need to take it over here.

And the servants in this house are only twenty after all the troubles when they first came to the capital.

The servants who waited on them would naturally follow them to Dongmingfang, so there were only seven or eight people left behind.

Of course, if there is no land in the backyard, it is enough to leave the old Zhangtou couple to clean the house.

With that piece of land, there will naturally be a few more people left, so it is better to keep the kitchen and rough envoys.

After all, Ning Zhongping will live here for a while.

Ning Zhongping naturally refused to move to Dongmingfang with them, and it would take more than half a month to clean up the house on Huasheng Street. If these people were kept here, Ning Zhongping's basic necessities of life would be taken care of.

"Then arrange it like this. Whether it's good or not, we have to wait until we move to Dongming Square. Is the house on Huasheng Street going to start?" After talking about the move, Su Chengzhi asked about the place on Huasheng Street. Situation of side house.

Su Yunduo roughly talked about what he had agreed with the foreman today.

"Your grandparents are getting old, so it's time to let them enjoy the blessings. I discussed with your mother and plan to send a mother-in-law and a maid to serve them." Finally, Su Chengzhi looked at Su Yunduo and said.

Su Yunduo nodded, and Ning Zhongping also had similar thoughts, but he just considered that the houses on Huasheng Street were still a bit crowded, and after a while, he would buy a yard for the whole small Erjin when he had silver in his hands. At that time, he moved out from Huasheng Street with his parents, wife and children to live alone.

Su Yunduo told Su Chengzhi what Ning Zhongping meant, and Su Chengzhi frowned slightly. Su Yunduo knew that he must not approve of Ning Zhongping's way of doing things.

It is one thing that the father and mother do not separate the family, but on the other hand, even if the family is separated here, the father and mother will live with the eldest son. I am afraid that grandma and uncle will not agree to Ning Zhongping's plan.

Su Yunduo knew that Ning Zhongping was a very successful person, and he might not be able to convince his parents and elder brother, so he said with a smile: "Father, let my uncle worry about this matter. Let's wait for grandpa and the others to come over about the maid and mother-in-law." Let's talk."

After all, it was a matter of the Ning family. As a son-in-law, Su Chengzhi didn't rush to stop it even if he disagreed with it in his heart.

The tone of the move is set, and the next step is to agree on an auspicious date.

In fact, Mrs. Lu invited Taoist priests to calculate the auspicious days of the past few months on the day when she recognized her ancestors and returned to her clan. There are two auspicious days in this month, one is September 22 and the other is September [-]. .

It was already September [-]th, two days was too short, even if Mrs. Lu wished that they would move to Dongmingfang to live with her that day, it was not impossible for them to wait for a few days.

If the agreed date was followed, Mrs. Lu thought they would not move until the twelfth lunar month!
Now that I take the initiative to discuss with her about moving, naturally I can't make my "son and daughter-in-law" a little bit wronged.

So the two parties agreed that September [-]th was the day of moving, and it happened that Su Chengzhi, Su Zexuan, Su Zechen and his son all had a bath on that day, so there was no need to ask for leave for moving.

Relocation is a big event, and when the auspicious day is set, Old Madam Lu will naturally prepare a celebration banquet. Although Madam Lu does not need to personally arrange the banquet, as the master, she cannot directly leave the matter to the nanny and maid. Still a lot.
