pretty lady in disguise

Chapter 81

Ayu soon moved to Qianhu Mansion with his brother.

Qianhu Mansion is very close to the county government office. Ayu was sitting in the carriage that day, and Yinger pointed it out to her when passing by the Yamen. After walking forward for about a quarter of an hour, he turned a corner and arrived at Qianhu Mansion.There were four guards standing around the door, and they saluted the two brothers and sisters one after another.Ayu is still not quite used to his new identity, wearing a gauze hat, nervously following behind his brother.

After entering the mansion, Cheng Yang took his younger sister to visit their new home in person.

The house is divided into three entrances. The front is where Cheng Yang handles military affairs and receives guests. The courtyard is the most spacious.In the middle is Cheng Yang’s living yard. There are three rooms in the north, one bright and two dark, with side rooms on the left and right, and wing rooms on the east and west. The courtyard retains the layout left by the former Lord Qianhu. The requirements are not high, and I don't plan to change it.

Behind is Ayu's courtyard. The layout of the courtyard is the same as Cheng Yang's, but the scenery is more beautiful.

This is also where Cheng Yang spends most of his time.

All the furniture and beds in Ayu's room were bought by him. In addition, he invited Ayu a kind-hearted nanny to teach her how to manage the back house.Mammy's surname is Li, and Cheng Yang personally chooses it, and transfers Mammy Li's youngest son to the army to train with him, so Cheng Yang believes that the other party will teach Ah Yu with all his heart, and dare not bully the good Lord behind his back.

Nanny Li moved here a long time ago. She is responsible for training Ayu's two big maids and a few young maids. Now she takes care of Ayu's side.When the brother and sister came down from the corridor, Nanny Li led all the maids behind them to salute together.

"The servant has seen the adults and the girls!"

Ayu was completely at a loss.

Cheng Yang signaled everyone to get up, and asked them to report their names and identities to A Yu one by one, and then explained to her with a smile.

Ayu understood, but she was not used to having so many people serve her, so she took Cheng Yang a few steps aside and said in a low voice, "Brother, I will learn how to be a housekeeper like Madam Li, but there is already Yingying by my side." Come on, don't you need Xia Zhu and Qiu Zhu?" Zhan Huaichun's family is so rich, and she is the only maid around her.

Cheng Yang glanced at Yinger, who was in charge of holding Ayu's dog, and said with a sneer, "What does a ten-year-old girl know? Since you insist on keeping her, let her play with you in front of you. You can tell me everything else." Xiazhu and Qiuzhu. Ayu, you are an official girl now, you must have someone to serve you, and you have to learn to control them. You can use these maids as you like, and my brother will not interfere, but you have to study hard and marry them later. If you find someone, someone will help you." The maidservants are all loyal, and with Mammy Li reminding them and him always paying attention, I believe my sister will get used to it soon.

Ayu couldn't hold back his brother, so he had to take everyone in.

In the days that followed, A Yu obediently stayed in the backyard to learn housekeeping from Nanny Li, and took Ying'er and Xia Zhu to play in the garden when she was free.Of the two new maids, Xia Zhu is more lively and usually likes to take care of peas, so Ayu listened to Mammy Li and took Xia Zhu with her when she went out.Qiuzhu was quiet and composed, staying in the house to watch the house.

After the initial novelty, A Yu began to want to show Huaichun.

In fact, she always thought that before, she just pretended not to care in front of her brother, but now that she hasn't seen him for too long, she can't even pretend during the day.She wanted to know about Zhan Huaichun, but unfortunately she lived in the backyard, which was separated from the front yard by her brother's yard.My brother said that there were many guards and male guests visiting in the front yard, and it was difficult for her to show up, so she was told not to go there.Yinger wanted to sneak out to have a look, but was stopped by two guards.So apart from what her brother told her, she didn't know anything about the outside world, and wondered if Zhan Huaichun had come to her.

At dusk, when Cheng Yang came back from the guardhouse, he heard from the porter that the Zhan family had handed over another post, and that the eldest and young wife of the Zhan family wanted to visit the girl.

Cheng Yang directly asked him to burn the post.

On the second day after moving here, Zhan Huaichun came, and he politely invited him in and invited him to drink tea. As for his apologies, he didn't hear a single word.Later, when Zhan Huaichun wanted to see Ayu, it was even more impossible for Cheng Yang to agree. This man obviously still regarded his sister as a maid, and he would see him whenever he wanted. Even if the two of them were interested in each other, would he dare to come to the door directly and say that he wanted to see the girl?
He sneered and satirized, Zhan Huaichun felt guilty, went back to be honest for a while, and then instigated his sister-in-law to invite his sister to be a guest.

Send your sister to the wolf?Cheng Yang is not that stupid.

After changing into his normal clothes, Cheng Yang went to the backyard to have dinner with his sister.

Ah Yu was very happy when his brother came back, and helped him serve the meal himself.Cheng Yang didn't like being served by his brother and sister when they were eating.

But Cheng Yang soon discovered his sister's distraction.

"Ayu, I'm your brother, you can tell your brother whatever you want, don't hold it in your heart." He put down the bowl and said softly.

A Yu's eyes were a little sore, she lowered her head, and said after a long time: "Brother, me, has he ever looked for me?"

"A Yu misses him?" Cheng Yang asked jokingly.

He smiled, A Yu was not so nervous, and nodded with a blushing face: "I, I haven't seen him for a month."

Cheng Yang was very happy when his younger sister was willing to tell him what was in his heart. He didn't laugh at her anymore, but just sighed: "It is true that he has been here a few times, but Ah Yu, how can brother let him see you? What do you think of our family? Zhan Huaichun is still too thoughtless to do things. If he is [-]% as polite as his elder brother, he will know how offensive this kind of request is. Brother didn't beat him for your sake. Change someone else , brother must directly throw people out."

A Yu's face became hot all of a sudden, she thought that she used to meet Zhan Huaichun often, and she forgot that private meetings between men and women before marriage were really inappropriate.

"Brother, I know I was wrong. He, he too... Brother, don't be angry with him, just reason with him, he will listen."

Cheng Yang nodded, picked up some food for his sister, and said after a while: "Ah Yu is bored at home, right? Logically, we moved here to treat guests, but the new year is approaching, and everyone is busy with reunions for the New Year. It's not very convenient. After the first month is over, my brother will hold a banquet to entertain guests, and then call everyone you want to see. But there are some things that my brother has to say first, and you are not allowed to see him secretly, you know? You have to stay in the backyard To entertain the female relatives, his sister-in-law, you can talk more."

Can't meet...

Ayu was a little disappointed, but knowing that he was here too, it would be better if the two of them stayed in the same place than no news at all, right?

With hope, Ah Yu's mood gradually improved again.

Ayu is so quiet, she usually reads a book and teases the dog. The day seems to pass quickly. If she misses too much before going to bed, she will chant sutras and meditate, so it is not particularly hard for her to separate the two places. Of course, it is also because of her I believe that the two will be together in the end.Over there, Zhan Huaichun didn't live as well as her. When we parted, he was so worried that a big blister formed on the corner of his mouth, which took half a month to heal.

Others gain weight during the Chinese New Year, and he lost several catties.

"No progress at all?" The good brother was so trapped by love, Xiao Ren couldn't stand it, and gave him an idea: "You are good at kung fu, so you might as well sneak there in the middle of the night."

Zhan Huaichun was lying on his side with his head covered by the quilt, and said in a muffled voice, "You think I haven't thought about it? My elder brother caught me when I went there, and warned me not to be stupid, otherwise it's okay if I didn't find out. If Cheng Yang really caught me, it would be even more useless for me to marry Ayu."

"Then you go directly to propose marriage!" Xiao Ren said loudly.

Zhan Huaichun didn't bother to talk to him, so he went to propose marriage now, waiting to be rejected?

He didn't want to care about Cheng Yang for the time being, he wanted to see A Yu, he wanted to die.He hasn't seen her for a long time, even if it's just a sneak peek, otherwise he can't do anything!The more he couldn't see her, the more he regretted it. At the beginning, Ayu lived in his house, but he kept her cold and didn't see her for more than ten days or even more than a month. Now he wanted to see her, but he couldn't!
Zhan Huaichun clutched the bed sheets bitterly, feeling that life would be worse than death.

Xiao Ren is also worried, Zhan Huaichun is like this, he will gloat for a day or two, and after a long time, he will feel panicked when he looks at it.

"By the way, Brother Ayu dotes on her so much during the Lantern Festival, he will definitely bring her out, right? Then you go there early to watch over there, and you will see them as soon as they come out?" Xiao Ren suddenly thought of a good idea.

Zhan Huaichun sat up abruptly, his long hair was disheveled, short stubble appeared on his chin, but his eyes were shining brightly.

Xiao Ren took a few steps back quickly, and looked at him with disgust: "Go and clean up, you won't scare Ayu away if you go out like this!"

Sloppy, how can there be any trace of the second young master Zhan's demeanor?
