The short-lived ghost of the Xie family has lived a long life

Chapter 487 The Yard
In fact, there is nothing difficult to say.

"My mother is very particular about food, clothing, use... she thought the yard was too small and she had two quarrels with her father. My father didn't agree, so she moved to the east by herself."

Fearing that Yan San would misunderstand, Zhu Yuanmo immediately added: "But there is no quarrel between the couple. They are quite affectionate."

"Master Zhu didn't take any concubines?"

"No."

"If you don't take concubines, you'll sleep in separate houses."

Yan Sanhe frowned again: "What about their married life? Who goes to which courtyard?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone except Li Buyan turned as red as a monkey's butt.

Little Mr. Pei looked at Yan Sanhe and said to himself, "You are a big girl. How dare you ask who is going to go to which yard?" Oh, this little chicken like me is going to die of shame.

The manager said hurriedly: "I eat in my wife's courtyard every night, talk or take a rest, and then go back to my courtyard after dark."

In other words, the married life of Mr. Zhu and Mrs. Zhu takes place in Mrs. Zhu’s room.

Yan Sanhe: "Even on rainy and snowy days, Mr. Zhu always goes back to sleep in his courtyard and never stays overnight?"

"Yes, Miss Yan."

Old manager: "The master said that he can only sleep soundly in his own courtyard and on his own bed."

Is this nostalgia?

Yan Sanhe thought in his heart.

As they spoke, they arrived at the northwest corner. The old manager pointed to the courtyard in front and said, "This is where the master lives."

There were people standing on both sides of the courtyard door, two guards on one side and a row of servants on the other.

Yan San counted the servants and found that there were eight servants, including two rough ladies, four maids, and two personal servants.

"These are the people who serve my father."

Boss Zhu pointed to the two guards beside him: "These two are from the mansion. I specially asked them to guard this courtyard."

Very good, nothing less.

Yan Sanhe: "I'll take a look at the yard first."

There are two entrances to the courtyard. The first entrance is the main room, side hall, and small hall; the second entrance is the bedroom and study room.

Several wing rooms are where servants live.

Yan Sanhe's first impression of this courtyard was that it was ordinary, with an ordinary layout and ordinary furnishings. There was nothing special about it, let alone a clever word.

"When the house was renovated, was this yard left untouched?"

"Not moving."

Manager: "The master said he is used to living here and doesn't want to move."

Yan Sanhe: "When was this house renovated? How old was the master at that time?"

The manager thought for a while and said, "After I took charge of the house, the first, second, third, and fifth rooms were moved out one after another, and the house was renovated."

Mr. Zhu took charge of the business when he was 30 years old, so it should have been that year when the Zhu Mansion was renovated.

Yan Sanhe calculated the time and asked, "Are all Mr. Zhu's things still there?"

Boss Zhu hurriedly said: "They are all here, and there is nothing missing. After knowing that Dad has a demon inside, I specifically told them not to touch any of them."

Finally, unlike Mrs. Ji and Jingchen, everything was thrown away.

Yan Sanhe breathed a sigh of relief, "Let's go in and take a look."

There are actually only two places that really need to be seen.

One is the bedroom;

One is the study room.

The bedroom is small and simply decorated. The bed is a mother-of-pearl canopy bed with simple carvings, all of which are rich flowers and plants.

There is a palace lantern next to the bed. The palace lantern is a bit delicate, but it looks like it has been a few years.

Seeing Yan Sanhe's eyes fall on the palace lantern, Mr. Zhu hurriedly said: "This lantern was given to my grandfather by the nobles in the palace. My grandfather gave it to my father, and my father displayed it like a treasure."

Yan Sanhe asked casually: "Which noble person?" Boss Zhu did not expect that Yan Sanhe would ask such detailed questions, and his eyes hurriedly asked the boss for help.

The old steward accompanied him carefully and said, "The old lady didn't say anything. He only said that he was a noble person in the palace."

Yan Sanhe: "Do nobles in the palace often receive rewards?"

"To be fair to Miss Yan, it is indeed true."

There was a bit of pride in the old manager's eyes.

"The Zhu family is the leader in this industry. When ladies want to choose a good life, they should come to the Zhu family to calculate it. If the calculation is accurate, they will naturally be rewarded."

Yan Sanhe: "What are the general rewards?"

The old manager said: "They are not expensive. Most of them are ordinary objects, but they are part of the noble people's hearts. If you want to see them, there are still some in the warehouse."

"tell you later."

Yan Sanhe's eyes moved. Next to the palace lantern was Zhang Xiaoji. On the small table was a beauty vase. There was nothing in the beauty vase, it was empty.

"What was in this bottle?"

"It's just a decoration. My father doesn't like this plum or bamboo in the room. He likes it to be clean. My mother thought the room was too plain, so she picked a bottle and put it here."

Yan Sanhe took a closer look at the bottle and knew at a glance that it was the work of a famous artist and the glaze was very soft.

Under the window is a soft couch, with a coffee table and several brocade cushions placed on the couch.

The color of the coffee table is a bit worn. It is obvious that Mr. Zhu likes to tilt it here.

Opposite the soft couch were two cabinets. Yan Sanhe opened them and took a look. Inside were hung Master Zhu's clothes for all seasons.

The colors of the clothes are mainly blue and gray, with occasionally one or two festive colors.

Yan Sanhe looked at the size of the clothes and asked, "How tall is Mr. Zhu?"

"The master and the uncle have similar body shapes and looks."

The boss said: "When I was young, I was actually a little taller than my uncle. As I got older, my body shrank."

Yan Sanhe: "These clothes need to be worn by people with fair skin to make them look good."

The old manager nodded: "Young lady observed very carefully. The master's complexion is like his biological mother's, fair and pure."

Yan Sanhe asked: "Who is his biological mother?"

Manager: "My biological mother's surname is Fu, and she is the old lady's cousin."

Cousin and cousin serve the same husband?
Yan Sanhe: "Why did the old lady agree to adopt her cousin as aunt?"

The old manager said: "Aunt Fu was not pregnant and had been sick since she was a child. She has been taking medicine all year round. No one within a hundred miles would dare to marry her.

The old lady saw that she was old and her brothers disliked her, so she took her in out of sympathy. "

Yan Sanhe sneered: "The old lady is really generous. How can she give up a man for a cousin?"

"This……"

The manager hurriedly explained: "The girl doesn't know something. The old lady's original intention of letting her in was to give her a place to stay. After all, the Zhu family has a big business and it's not a big deal to raise an idle person."

Yan Sanhe: "How can I be allowed to be in a man's bed?"

Everyone except Li Buyan found these words harsh.

Especially for the two men of the Zhu family, according to blood relationship, Aunt Fu is their biological grandmother.

"Miss Yan, Aunt Fu is an excellent person, well-controlled in advance and retreat, knowledgeable and courteous."

The old manager slowly added: "After she arrived at Zhu's house, she didn't leave the front door or the second door. She took care of her illness peacefully and didn't come out much during the holidays.

Later, the old man fell in love with her and discussed with the old lady that he wanted to consummate the marriage.Aunt Fu was reluctant at first, but my wife persuaded her for several months before she nodded in agreement. "

Yan Sanhe: "How many aunts do you have, old lady?"

Manager: "I have four aunts."

Yan Sanhe frowned slightly.

Four rooms?

Quite a lot!
