Splendid spring returns

Chapter 11

"Hey, what are you guys doing? You ran over early in the morning and made people sleep?"

The early spring morning was still a bit chilly, Chun Yu put on a quilted jacket and pushed open the door. He was taken aback when he saw a group of men busy moving bricks and stones outside, and then shouted.

At this time, a person who looked like a housekeeper stepped forward and said with a smile: "Is it Miss Chunyu? This is the order of the son of the world, saying that this Qingliang Pavilion should be repaired properly. Now, the wasteland outside the gate must be repaired, and flowers and trees must be planted. , adorned with plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum, that is beautiful."

"My father's order?"

Chun Yu was stunned.The housekeeper laughed and said, "Why doesn't the girl believe it? We dared to break into this backyard without my father's order? Why? Didn't the son tell my aunt about this? Speaking of it, the master really put his heart into it this time, and even designed it himself." The drawing is just for the area outside the door. None of the courtyards in our palace have seen him be so meticulous."

"Then... let's do it, you guys are busy first, I'll go back and tell my aunt."

Chun Yu scratched her head, went back to the courtyard and closed the courtyard door. When she entered the room, she saw that Xin Nian was combing Yaya's hair. When she heard footsteps, she asked without raising her head, "What's going on?"

"It's my master's order to repair this Qingliang Pavilion, starting from the outside..."

Chun Yu recounted the incident, Xin Nian rolled her eyes, gritted her teeth and cursed in a low voice: "This bastard is still so wicked."

"Auntie..."

"okay, I get it."

Xin Nian nodded, only to hear Chun Yu anxiously said: "Then... in the future, after the outside is finished, don't you want to enter the yard? What should we do?"

"Just go to the backyard and find a random yard to live in for a few days, and keep an eye on the progress here. When it is repaired, we will move back."

After Xin Nian finished speaking, Xinghua said with a smile: "As long as Aunt Fan has chosen the yard, I'm afraid this Qingliang Pavilion will not be able to be repaired."

Xin Nian chuckled: "The son of the world wants to handle me, he thinks beautifully, really think I can't handle him anymore? Then I will naturally have a way to tell him to repair the Qingliang Pavilion as soon as possible, so that we can move back."

Just as she was talking, she suddenly heard someone calling the door from outside the courtyard, Xinghua hurried out, and came in after a while to report in a low voice: "Aunt, Mrs. Shizi sent some servants over, saying that there are not enough servants in our courtyard. "

"Mrs. Madam? Is it Madam?" Xin Nian frowned, "Isn't it grandma?"

"No." Xinghua shook her head: "I know Aunt Jiang who accompanied me. She is Madam's nanny. Because Madam is weak, she came with her as a dowry."

Xin Nian thought for a while, nodded and said, "Let them in."

After a while, a few servants entered the door, and Aunt Jiang was smiling and courteous. She didn't despise Xin Nian because she was not favored in the past. Seeing her hugging Liu Zai Yaya, she smiled and praised: "Yesterday our wife went back and said that my aunt never interacted with the backyard. How can I expect the sixth young master and the fourth young lady to look good? I can't help but not like it when I see it. Because I talked about it until midnight, I regret that I am not in good health. So far I don't have a son or a daughter..."

Xin Nian immediately became alert, but his face remained calm, and he said calmly: "What's the matter? Madam is still young, and in time, there will always be times when children will be around her knees. What are you doing here today? It should not be just to see Liu Zai and Yaya?"

Aunt Jiang seemed to be a little disappointed, but she immediately covered it up, and said enthusiastically: "Madam saw my aunt and the sixth young master and four girls yesterday, and knew that there were not enough people to serve here in Qingliang Pavilion, so I specially sent my servants to send a few servant girls. Auntie Look, among the servants who entered the mansion last month, these are the most industrious and agile, with them helping to clean and serve the young master and miss, my aunt can save some effort."

Xin Nian looked up, and the four girls behind Aunt Jiang squatted down to salute together.

She looked around and saw that none of the four girls were pretty, and they were indeed smart enough, so she nodded and smiled: "Alright, I really lack people here, and I will go to thank Madam in person later. By the way, There is one more thing, my aunt went back to help me tell my wife, she said that now the Lord ordered Qingliang Pavilion to be repaired, I am afraid that I will temporarily go to the backyard to hide, and I will come back after the renovation, please help choose a yard for me to live in .”

Aunt Jiang sighed in admiration: "The madam came back last night and said that the master and the aunt have known each other since childhood. As long as the aunt changes her mind, the master will still take care of you. Sure enough, this is not here? Auntie, don't worry, I will come back soon." Tell Madam. I also saw it when I came here, there are dozens of workers outside, it is too messy, and I will hurry to clean up the yard and let my aunt move in today."

Xin Nian said with a smile: "There is no need to be so anxious, there is still work to be done outside, and we can wait for two or three days."

Aunt Jiang agreed, and seeing that she had nothing else to do, she said goodbye and left.

Here, Xin Nian looked at a few girls, asked them about their backgrounds, and randomly assigned errands: one named Yang Liu, who looked diligent and smart, gave her the chores of cleaning the room; There was a man named Jinzhen, because her mother was an embroiderer, so she took care of the work of sewing clothes in the house.

After the distribution was over, Xin Nian picked up the teacup to drink tea, and looked at everyone's expressions calmly, but didn't see anything unusual.

Taking advantage of Chunyu to take a few people out, Xinghua whispered: "Auntie, is this to guard against them? I think Madam probably also took this into account, to show her sincerity, that's why she assigned a few of us before entering the mansion." newcomer."

Xin Nian nodded, thought for a while, and said, "Madam is gentle and virtuous, and she never competes with others, but she can be trusted, but it doesn't mean others can too. So what about the newcomers? After all, we have no foundation, so how can we make them loyal ? Even if you are loyal now, can you guarantee that you will be loyal in the future?"

"Yes." Xinghua felt vigilant when she thought of Liao's domineering power, she nodded solemnly and said: "I was careless, or Auntie is careful and careful."

"You've always been careful. This time, you're not careless. You just don't want to think badly about people. But Xinghua, even though Gu Changting has great abilities, he doesn't care much about the backyard, so every yard in this mansion is all intricately intertwined. Intrigue, since we want to integrate into it, we must remember those fourteen words. You must not have the heart to harm others, and you must have the heart to guard against others."

Xinghua said solemnly: "Auntie is right, I will tell Chunyu the truth later."

Xin Nian nodded, then stood up: "Later, you and Chun Yu will clean up in the house. I'll go and see my wife, and I'll choose a yard by the way. Once I've chosen, we'll move there."

"Yes." Xinghua agreed, and when she saw Xin Nian leaving the house, she immediately packed it up according to her instructions.
