Chapter 47

Let's say that Liu Qingluo was taken by Wuye and Mrs. Bai to the Lin Mansion in Beiqiao Village in a carriage.

Although Beiqiao Village is adjacent to Nanqiao Village, its population area is more than double that of Nanqiao Village. It is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the scenery is extremely beautiful and clean.

In the eyes of Liu Qingluo, a modern person, Nanqiao Village is almost comparable to some top resorts...

It's no wonder that Lin Jinyu chose to cultivate here.

As early as more than a month ago, Liu Qingluo had begged Liu Heping to take her to the girls' school in Beiqiao Village, but she never had the chance to come. This time, because of her engagement, she finally came to Beiqiao Village .

She sat beside Mrs. Bai in an orderly manner, staring at the outside of the car and boat, and staring at the scenery outside without blinking.

"Miss Qingluo, the skirt on you is so unique." Sujin, the maid beside Mrs. Bai, said enviously when she saw the pink chest-length skirt on Liu Qingluo.

Liu Qingluo came back to her senses, and smiled shyly: "My mother made it out of old clothes, it's not as good-looking as my sister's clothes..."

Sujin is only a young girl of sixteen or seventeen years old. Hearing others praise her clothes, she is naturally happy, and her eyes are narrowed when she smiles, "Miss Qingluo is really a good-natured girl."

Mrs. Bai gave her a white look, and said angrily: "You girl, you are not old or young. Miss Qingluo is engaged to our master now, she is the future young lady, you are here to be careless..."

Liu Qingluo hurriedly waved her hands in a panic, her face turned red, "Ma'am, you are serious, I also like talking to Sister Sujin."

"Good boy, they girls are used to being lazy and slippery, so don't bother with her from now on." Mrs. Bai took Liu Qingluo's hand, she only thought that Liu Qingluo was cute, cute and steady, and the more she looked at her, the more she liked her.

The carriage passed through the foot of the mountain in Beiqiao Village, passed by clear lakes and streams, and soon came to a very elegant villa with a huge area.

The villa is extremely quiet, almost no human voices can be heard, but the sound of wind and birds chirping from time to time makes Zhuangzi even more tranquil.

"Mother Bai, Miss Liu, it's here—"

Wuye rode over and said softly.

Two rough women ran over from outside, opened the curtain of the carriage, and helped Mrs. Bai out of the carriage.

Madam Bai told Sujin again, "Be careful and help Liu Qingluo down."

Su Jin agreed with a smile, supported Liu Qingluo with one hand, and carefully helped her out of the carriage.

Liu Qingluo looked up at the elegant Zhuangzi in front of her, and a smile of appreciation appeared on her face.

Seeing Su Jin, she explained with a smile: "Miss Qingluo, our master likes to be clean, so there are not many people in this village. There is only one master, and there are only twenty or so servants brought here. If you are here Walking around in Zhuangzi, it's rare to meet people..."

There are more than [-] people serving Lin Jinyu, which is not a small number?

Lin Qingluo was really curious about Lin Jinyu's identity...

Wu Ye didn't know where to go, Madam Bai held Liu Qingluo's hand, and said with a smile: "Miss Qingluo must be tired from the journey, mom will take you to wash and refresh."

After finishing speaking, she took Liu Qingluo's arm and led her to a long corridor by the side door.

Beside her, apart from Su Jin, there were two girls of fourteen or fifteen years old.

After passing through the long corridor, two arches with hanging flowers, and a bamboo grove, and came to three small and exquisite courtyards, Mrs. Bai stopped.

The words "Tingfengxuan" are written on the gate of the courtyard.

"Girl Qingluo, you'll be living in this place for the past few days." Mrs. Bai said with a smile, pointing to the two maids who followed her, and said, "These two maids are staying with you these two days." Here to serve you, if you need anything, just come to me."

The two servant girls walked over with their heads down, and said in a breathless voice, "Your servants, Guixiang and Juxiang, have met Miss Liu."

Liu Qingluo nodded and thanked Madam Bai.

Mrs. Bai smiled and said, "Osmanthus and Juxiang, the two of you are going to take care of Miss Liu to wash up now." After she finished speaking, she turned to Liu Qingluo and smiled gently, "Miss Qingluo, I am getting old, and my bones ache from being jolted in the carriage. , now I will accuse myself and go back to lie down, okay?"

Liu Qingluo hurriedly said: "Madam, just go and rest, I'll do it here."

"Take a break too, you've been busy these few days." Mrs. Bai smiled and left.

Liu Qingluo stood there and hesitated for a while, then heard the maid named Guixiang say: "Miss Liu, why don't you come and wash with your servant?"

"Okay." Liu Qingluo replied concisely, and followed the two maids to the small courtyard.

The courtyard is small and quiet, with three main rooms, two rows of side rooms on the left and right, and a huge osmanthus tree in the courtyard, which exudes a strong fragrance in this autumn season.

Under the sweet-scented osmanthus is a stone table and two stone benches.There are a few stalks of green bamboo planted in the corner of the yard, and when the wind blows, they make a rustling sound.

Fragrant, clean and pleasant.

This is Liu Qingluo's impression of the small courtyard.

Following Osmanthus and Chrysanthemum to the main room, the inside is still spotless and elegant, with a thin bamboo curtain on the door, the room is quiet.

"Girl, this is the bedroom." Guixiang smiled and led her into the bedroom on the left. There was an arhat bed inside, a soft couch opposite, and behind the partition screen was a table and cushioned chairs.

On the table are tea sets, pens, ink, paper and inkstones, as well as some books.

"Has anyone lived here before?" Liu Qingluo flipped through the books casually.

"I heard that before Zhuangzi was built, our second master lived in this courtyard for two days..." Ju Xiang pursed her lips and smiled.

"Second master?" Liu Qingluo wondered.

Gui Xiang hurriedly explained: "Oh, our master is second in the house, so sometimes he is also called the second master."

It's strange that this room is so simple and elegant, it looks like a study.

"Our second master likes to read books. I thought we moved all the things away together, but I didn't expect that there are still a few books left here..." Gui Xiang said with some surprise.

"Perhaps the second master finished reading it..."

Ju Xiang came over to put away the books, pulled Liu Qingluo to sit down in front of the dressing table, and said with a smile: "This dressing table was specially ordered by Madam Bai. Miss, if there is anything missing, just tell me."

Liu Qingluo glanced at the table. There was a hollow bronze mirror inlaid with flowers. There were seven or eight boxes of rouge and gouache on the table. There was also a half-open mahogany box with some jewelry and hairpins inside.

"These were purchased from the Fendiexuan in Beijing." Ju Xiang smiled and untied Liu Qingluo's hair.

Liu Qingluo looks fair and her hair is as black as ink. Mrs. Du has raised her hair since she was a child, and now when she let it down, it almost reaches her waist.

"Wow, the girl's hair is really long..." Ju Xiang held her hair and marveled.

Liu Qingluo smiled shyly, but did not answer.

"Don't smear the ink, go and see if the hot water is coming up first, and wait for the girl to take a bath first..." Gui Xiang seemed to be in a hurry, which was clearly contrasted with Ju Xiang's slow pace, "Second Master is still waiting..."
