The story of the struggle of the poor girl who crossed

Chapter 130 Grange
Situ Changfeng also sent 60 people to Maixiang's farm.Ten are his guards, fifty are ancient construction team members, and these fifty people are also his subordinates.

In his hands, there is a very professional construction team of about 60 people, including three carpenters, 54 masons, and even a blacksmith, a master who is good at firing kilns, and a master who is good at design.

With the help of these 50 people, Grange's new house was completed ahead of schedule.

Although it is a two-entry house, its structure is simple and there are no fancy patterns.Moreover, the home furnishings are also made of logs, not even painted.This is the meaning of Maixiang, simple and clear is better.

There are three main rooms in the front yard, and three east and west wing rooms.The main room is reserved for distinguished guests, such as Situ Changfeng, shopkeeper Liang and Mai Xiang's little uncle.The east wing is for the personal guards, and the west wing is the kitchen, small storeroom and bathroom.The courtyard is only half an acre of land, with a well, two peach trees, a pear tree, a plum tree, and several bushes of flowers and plants.

The back yard, which is the second entrance, has the same structure as the front yard.The three main rooms are the bedrooms of Maixiang, Poria, and Licorice, the east wing is where the maids and cooks live, and the west wing is the bathroom and small kitchen.

As for the hut, it was built about twenty steps away from the house, and there was a veranda leading there from the door of the house.The veranda is covered to shelter from wind and rain. Flowers and trees are planted on both sides of the veranda, and the scenery is very good.

The hut draws on the characteristics of modern washrooms, clean and hygienic.

There are two huts for men and women.A row of pomegranate trees was also planted between the men's and women's huts.Around the hut, tuberose was planted, and several clove trees were planted to prevent mosquitoes and odors.

In addition, there is a back garden, about an acre or so.

There is also a well here, and on the grass next to the well, several racks for drying clothes have been set up.Whether it was the clothes of the three sisters Mai Xiang, or the clothes of the guards and servants, they were all hung to dry in the back garden.Moreover, the water well and the place to dry clothes are all in the southeast corner.

The southeast corner is also surrounded by a fence, so that even if guests come to the back garden, they will stop at the fence.In this way, no matter whether it is underwear or underwear, they can hang them openly in the sun, instead of secretly hanging them in the bedroom or some dark corner like in the past.

The ancients were not good at all. The daughter's underwear should not be hung outside.Otherwise, there will be shameless and shameless suspicions.In other words, in the past days, whether it was spring, summer, autumn or winter, her underwear and obscene pants were dried in a small charcoal basin.The same goes for the two sisters.

In the eyes of the ancients, a woman's obscene trousers were shady and dirty.Especially when I was young, not to mention the underwear, it seemed that even women were dirty.To be honest, Mai Xiang from a civilized society is very difficult to accept.

The clothes of the guards are all cleaned by the mother-in-law. Naturally, the mother-in-law is also responsible for drying and collecting the clothes.So, there is no inconvenience.However, the place where the clothes are dried is also divided into two areas. The clothes of the three sisters Mai Xiang and the maids are dried in the east, and the clothes of the guards and the mother-in-law are dried in the west.On the east and west sides, there are three rows of long bamboo poles for drying clothes and bedding.

Mai Xiang's three sisters' clothes are cleaned by their personal maids.Underwear and obscene pants, the three sisters have always cleaned them by themselves, not by others.

This kind of clothes-drying environment, Licorice and Poria cocos met, immediately fell in love with it.Not to mention anything else, just like this, the two sisters fell in love with this new house.

Licorice said happily: "Sister, you have a good idea, how good it is!" Why is the head of the eldest sister so smart?In the future, she will also read more books. In this way, her mind may be more flexible.

Poria's favorite is the artificial stream flowing from the back garden. This stream meanders between flowers, plants and trees. The bottom of the stream is covered with fine river sand and small, uniform pebbles.The water is one foot deep, and it is the spring water brought in from the mountain. With such a stream, the whole back garden is much cooler.

Several pagoda trees, several elm trees, several peach and plum trees, and several bayberry trees were planted in the back garden.Fuling likes to eat peaches, plums and red bayberries very much. Seeing those fruit trees, she couldn't help but burst into joy: "Well, eldest sister is the best! Tomorrow, I will make two sets of clothes and shoes for eldest sister that are convenient for climbing mountains, as a reward for her kindness." Kindness!"

The eldest sister must have planted these trees specially for her.The little girl's heart couldn't help being warm, as if there was a warm current flowing quietly.

Mai Xiang smiled and said: "Well, as long as you like it! For clothes, tighten the trousers, not so wide. For sleeves, make them into three-quarter sleeves, which is more convenient."

Fu Ling nodded vigorously: "Yes, big sister, I understand." What is three-quarter sleeves, she is very clear, as early as five or six years ago, she understood what it meant.

The three sisters stayed in the new house, and Situ Changfeng, who sent the three over, lived in the old house with his own guards.It will take half a day to walk all the way, and now it's getting late, and it's hard for Mai Xiang to drive him away.

Beside the three sisters, there are three personal maids and one mother in charge.These three personal maidservants, two of them are military maidservants, are only around ten years old.

The three sisters have a total of six maidservants, who are orphans Mai Xiang took in from the Charity Hall run by Yingke when she was in the Northwest.These six people are all talented in martial arts. Several years have passed, and now these six people's martial arts are not bad, they can be regarded as third-rate masters.

These six people are called flowers, leaves, branches, fruits, petals and pistils.Maixiang's servants are called flower branches and flowers and fruits, Fuling's servants are called flowers and leaves and flowers, and licorice's servants are called petals and stamens.

Such a young girl is kept by her side as a personal maid, and in the eyes of outsiders, she is a person with no power to restrain her.If something happens to the three sisters, these six little girls are the biggest cards for the three sisters Mai Xiang.

In addition, Mai Xiang has a team of guards who will follow her closely whenever she goes out.In the past, when she went out, she would usually bring a bodyguard team of about ten people, but now the situation is different, but when she goes up the mountain or goes out, she still brings five people with her.

Before the Queen Mother and the Fan family fall, she will not take it lightly, lest she lose her life in vain.After finally traveling through time, she hasn't lived enough in this life, and she doesn't want to die so early.

At dinner time, Mai Xiang went to the old house and had dinner with Situ Changfeng.Licorice is now 13 years old, and it is necessary to avoid suspicion between him and Situ Changfeng.

Mai Xiang is different, she comes from a civilized society, and she is also a female general.Besides, now that her engagement with Situ Changfeng has been annulled, at least within two or three years, she will not talk about marriage anymore.

Therefore, she doesn't pay much attention to the so-called reputation.

Situ Changfeng didn't expect that she would come to accompany him for dinner, and he couldn't help being very happy. Before, she didn't pay much attention to him, and kept persuading him not to associate with her.

"Mai Xiang, thank you for still paying attention to me!" Situ Changfeng said excitedly.

Mai Xiang frowned slightly: "From now on, just call me Mo Ju! I don't want to use the name Mai Xiang anymore!"

It is said that the name Mai Xiang was given by her aunt.She didn't want to use this name for a long time, and now it happened to be a turning point.She hopes that by changing her name, she can change her luck.

Of course, this is superstition.The truth is, she wants to be Liang Moju again, and she wants to bid farewell to the past.

Situ Changfeng nodded and smiled, "Okay, I get it. The name Mo Ju is very good, it fits your personality very well, I like it very much!" The name Mai Xiang, to be honest, is too rustic.

Mai Xiang looked at his beaming smiling face, and couldn't help sighing: "In the future, you don't want to come here, let's all calm down! To be honest, there are plenty of noble girls who match you, but you don't have any." You must stay with me if necessary. Being with me is definitely a disadvantage for you.

I am not broad-minded, nor virtuous enough, and I cannot tolerate my man having other women.You should take this opportunity and think about it carefully so as not to regret it in the future.My life is only a few decades long, and I just want to find someone who can be with me for the rest of my life and live an ordinary and happy life.I don't hope that one day, you will regret being with me, and let both of you and I suffer in pain! "

A trace of sadness flashed in Situ Changfeng's eyes: "Mo Ju, don't say that, no matter how good other women are, I only like you, and I only want to marry you! Regarding this point, I hope you don't Doubt, please believe me! When the Queen Mother and the Fan family are overthrown, I will immediately ask the emperor for a marriage, and I will use eight sedan chairs to marry you as my wife!"

Mai Xiang smiled slightly and shook her head: "I'm afraid it won't be so easy for the emperor to confer another marriage, after all, I have already conferred a marriage once!" Unless, she made some great contribution to allow the emperor to use her again.Otherwise, it is almost impossible.

Situ Changfeng's attitude was very firm: "Even if the emperor refuses to grant another marriage, I must marry you as my wife. It doesn't mean that the emperor must grant a marriage before I can get married!"
