Chapter 28
But the most rare thing is that this nanny is cautious, no matter what her own status is, she has always been respectful to the masters of the Duke's Mansion as always, and she is the first-class confidant next to Mrs. Lu—but then again, in fact A maidservant has been with a master for a lifetime, has no children, no husband, and doesn’t even love money. She only does things for you wholeheartedly. No matter who it is, you have to treat such a maidservant as a confidant?
Lu Mingxuan was thinking to herself, and said politely: "How dare you bother the old lady's mother, the old lady doesn't matter which little girl she asks to take my sister and me there."

She did not live in Kongcui Pavilion in her previous life, but always lived in the back room of Mrs. Lu Rongtaiju, so naturally there was no such thing as Zhang Nanny sending her to Kongcui Pavilion. Something happened. From this, it can be seen that Mrs. Lu should have a lot of guilt towards her in her heart, otherwise she would not be so considerate of their sisters. Maybe she can use this to find a far-off home for herself. Marriage, to achieve the purpose of escaping from the quagmire of the Duke's Mansion?

Lu Mingfu followed suit and said politely: "Yes, the old lady just asks any sister to take us there, how dare she take care of Nanny Zhang?" Although she didn't know who this Nanny Zhang was, But seeing that the old lady treats her very kindly, she knows that the old lady must be someone who is very useful to her predecessors, and she can't go wrong if she treats such a person with a respectful attitude.

Sure enough, there was a flash of satisfaction in Mrs. Lu's eyes, she obviously liked the humility of the two sisters, she said with a smile: "Since I asked Nanny Zhang to send you there by name, I have my reasons, and you don't need to worry too much about it." Having said that, just let her go, and come here earlier when you are settled down, so as not to miss the meal, go!"

It was only then that Lu Mingxuan and Lu Mingfu stopped being polite, resigned from Mrs. Lu, and led by Nanny Zhang, went to the Kongcui Pavilion, which was on the central axis of the entire Dingguo Palace, just like Rongtaiju.

It’s just that Kongcui Pavilion’s area is much smaller than Rongtaiju’s. I think it’s true. The older the family, the more they pay attention to the seniority and inferiority. This can often be seen only from the layout of the house. It can be seen that Mrs. Lu is the person who is second only to the old man in the whole Dingguo mansion. Rongtaiju is also the living place of the old man. The current Dingguo Lu Zhongmian naturally wants the largest and best house. Let the two old people live, otherwise, not to mention that the people in Yushitai will make a big fuss about him being unfilial, just public opinion and spitting stars are enough to drown him.

Kongcui Pavilion has five rooms and two floors. Although it occupies far less area than Rongtaiju, it is small and exquisite, and it is another architectural style.

After Nanny Zhang led Lu Mingxuan and Lu Mingfu into the middle room, she said with a smile: "This is the living room. Due to the limited space, we can only wrong the two girls to share it. Please don't be offended by the two girls." .”

Naturally, Lu Mingfu and Lu Mingxuan would not be offended. The former is because this house is obviously many times more gorgeous than the house at home, and he has nothing to blame. The latter feels that it doesn't matter where he lives now, so they both laughed: "Ma'am, that's serious. This house is so much better than the house we had at home. If we still want to take offense, it would be too ignorant. Besides, we are sisters, we can't share anything, let alone just A living room?"

Nanny Zhang nodded and said with a smile: "The two girls are so friendly, it can be seen that the master has taught well in the past. If the old lady saw it with her own eyes, I might not be so happy." Then he led the two to the east. times.

The east second room is connected with the east tip room. The former is divided into two rooms by a six-curved screen of Dieqi carnation, and half of the room is arranged as a small study room. There is a long couch in the half room, which should be a place for the maids on duty to spend the night; in the top room, there is an exquisite Babu bed, dressing table, mirror and dowry, etc. It is obviously a bedroom. There is also a small door, which should lead to the clean room.

The layout of the west room and the west tip room is similar to the one on the east side, only some details are different. Obviously, Mrs. Lu tried her best to make a bowl of water level.

After Nanny Zhang showed the two of them around the house, she asked with a smile, "Which side do the two girls want to live in? Actually, both sides are similar, only some layouts are slightly different."

When Lu Mingxuan heard the words, she first said: "Sister is the eldest, so naturally my sister lives in the east, and I live in the west."

Lu Mingfu had gotten used to Lu Mingxuan's humility these days, so she didn't say much when she heard the words, she was acquiescing to Lu Mingxuan's words.

Nanny Zhang smiled more and more relieved, and said: "In that case, Miss Fu lives on the east side, and Miss Xuan lives on the west side. I will let the servants come in and see the two girls." After finishing speaking, she looked outside clap your hands.

Immediately after seeing a group of people walking in, they knelt down towards Lu Mingxuan and Lu Mingfu as soon as they came in, and said in unison: "You servants have met Miss Fu, and Miss Xuan. I wish you two girls good health and longevity. continue."

Nanny Zhang introduced to Lu Mingxuan and Lu Mingfu by pointing at everyone one by one: "This is Mama Wu and Mama Hang. They are the mothers-in-charge chosen by the old lady for the two girls. Xia's four personal maids were also selected by the old lady for the two girls, there were six second-class maids, and eight little maids who cleaned the house. The two girls were dizzy thinking that there were too many people, so they didn't get together. Call to come in. As for the monthly schedule and school affairs of the two girls, they are the same as the girls in the mansion."

Lu Mingxuan knew that two mothers in charge, four personal maids, six second-class maids, and eight sweeping maids were an example of official girls in the Duke's Mansion, and the people who served her in her previous life followed this example, so that The girls in the Duke's Mansion are quite resentful towards her, both openly and secretly, thinking that a girl from her side is like their examples in everything, and they don't know what tricks they used to confuse the old lady so partial to her—— Fortunately, in this life, people are still these people, but there is one more Lu Mingfu to share with her. The two side girls make a real girl's share. If you think about it, it won't attract the resentment of the latter, right?
Withdrawing her thoughts, Lu Mingxuan took out the purse she had prepared in advance to reward everyone, and said with a smile: "Since you were personally selected by the old lady, all of you are naturally good. From now on, my sister and I will ask you to take care of us. I also hope that you will do your best and don't let down the rare relationship between master and servant." After speaking, she gently tugged at the corner of Lu Mingfu's clothes.

Lu Mingfu could only smile and said, "I will have to trouble you all in the future. If you put your best effort into it, our sisters will naturally not treat you badly."

Everyone hurriedly apologized and said with a smile: "The two girls are serious. It is my blessing to be picked by the old lady to serve the two girls. How dare I not do my best? In the future, the two girls will just tell the servants if they have something to do. The slaves and maidservants must be terrified, and they will not hesitate." Kowtowed to thank the two for their reward, and then took the purse respectfully.
