The concubine wants to farm: the alluring wife raises the emperor

Chapter 232 The Library

Li Yin shook his head submissively: "No."

"It's good to know." She rubbed his hair, "Let's go and see what's going on with my parents."

Xu's father and Xu's mother are fine here, with Aunt Hua taking care of them, at least she can direct the two maids to be more orderly, so that they don't know where to start.

"Yuanyuan, why are you here? How is your cleaning going?" Xu's mother stepped forward to hold Xu Yuan's hand. If you want to say that Xu Yuan is really considerate, there are two bedrooms in this yard, one with soil. The kang is for sleeping in winter, and there is another bed for sleeping in summer on weekdays, which is very well organized.

"I'm still tidying up, but I don't have too many things." She smiled, looking at the situation in Xu's father and Xu's mother's house, it seemed that it was almost packed.

"Father, let me take you to see the library!" She had long wanted to take Father Xu to see it again. After the last visit, she asked people to buy books to fill up more than half of the space inside. The book that Father Xu brought over.

As soon as Father Xu heard that he was going to the library, he immediately became interested. He is still a bookworm at heart, and when he heard something related to books, he was very happy.

Mother Xu smiled and said, "Your father's habit of loving books for so many years really can't be changed. Go, you all go and have a look."

Watching Xu Yuan take Xu's father Li Yin away, Aunt Hua took Xu's mother's hand and sighed: "Miss is really a sensible master."

Xu Yuan took Father Xu out of the courtyard, bypassed a corridor, and went directly to the library.

This is a small attic on the second floor, isolated in a yard, with two small pavilions next to it, each leading to a small pond, in which there are already small fishes raised by He Minglou swimming.

"This environment is very elegant." Xu's father sighed. The last time they came here was still finishing work, but now it's completely healed.

Xu Yuan smiled, stepped forward and pushed open the door of the library, facing several rows of tall bookshelves, with books neatly arranged on them, and at a glance, there were also marked categories by Xu Yuan.

"Yuanyuan has a heart." Xu's father stepped forward and walked around the bookshelf a few times. This is simply a paradise for books to him.

"Father, it's fine if you like it." She teased, "But you mustn't stay here all day from now on. If Mom gets angry, I don't care about you."

"No, no, no." Father Xu denied it twice, smiling from ear to ear.

Xu Yuan followed him upstairs, introduced to him the books stored in the attic, and then went down to the library.

Li Yin had been obediently reading a book on the first floor, but she had forgotten that besides Father Xu, there was a book lover beside her.

She stepped forward and knocked on Li Yin's forehead: "Are you fascinated?"

"Yeah." He nodded and closed the book, "Where are we going now?"

"Go back to the room and see if our yard has been tidied up." She walked out of the library, it was getting dark now, she wanted to go back and have a look.

Several people went back to the yard, and Xu's father and Xu's mother's room had already been tidied up.

Most of Xu Yuan's yard has also been put away, at least the sleeping room has been tidied up.

"You two, what's your name?" Xu Yuan played with the teacup in her hand, and looked at the two maids in front of her with a little temper.

"Slave, I don't have a name yet." There was a thinner one, blessed with a healthy body, and spoke in a very thin voice.

"My servant's name is Chunyue." Another taller girl replied.

Xu Yuan nodded, and looked at another thin girl: "What do your family call you?"

"Erya." She is the second child in the family, and she is also a woman. The family has called her that since she was a child, and she has never given a name.

"Erya..." Xu Yuan repeated it in a low voice. It sounds like a random name. It seems that she is not popular at home. Also, if she is popular, why would she be sold directly to their family for cooking? maid.

"Miss..." The little girl looked up at Xu Yuan timidly.

"Forget it, you'll be called Xia Hua from now on." She put down the teacup in her hand and named her casually.

"Thank you girl!" Unexpectedly, the little girl fell to her knees on the ground with a plop, kowtowing her head non-stop.

Xu Yuan was taken aback, and quickly stepped forward to help him up: "What's the matter?"

"The servant girl is so happy." She sobbed, "I thought I would spend my whole life so anonymous, but I didn't expect Miss to give me my name..."

"It's not a big deal..." She was still a little surprised and didn't recover, "You stand still first."

Li Yin looked at the interaction from behind and was a little confused, so why did he kneel down suddenly, which also surprised him.

"How old are you two now?"

"If you go back to the girl, the maidservant is twelve now." Chunyue bowed her head.

"Slave thirteen." Xia Hua was still sobbing uncontrollably.

Xu Yuan retreated to her seat and looked at the two. In modern times, they are still little princesses at home, at an age when they should be cared for by their parents. In this era, they can only serve as maidservants for wealthy families: "You two are here After that, she will be my personal servant girl, Xu Yuan, do you know?"

"The servant knows."

"There is no need for too complicated master-servant etiquette between the few of us, but there is the most important point, which I need you to remember." Her eyes swept over the two of them, "Look up and look at me. "

Those two raised their heads tremblingly, not daring to look at Xu Yuan.

"I am a person who can give in everything, but never allow any form of betrayal. Do you understand?"

"The servant understands."

What Xu Yuan said was very serious, and her tone was very sharp, which instantly made the two maids get goosebumps.

"Okay, if you have second thoughts in the future, don't blame me for being ruthless." She squinted her eyes. She had already been frightened by the betrayal of those villagers before, so she needed to be warned in advance at any time.

"Your servant knows." The two agreed in unison.

Xu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, they were all twelve or thirteen years old, this warning should be enough after thinking about it.

"Go down first, tomorrow I will ask the nanny to teach you some etiquette." She got up and let the two go out first.

When the person withdrew, she breathed a sigh of relief and eased her expression. She had been pretending to be cold just now, and she felt that her face was about to freeze.

Li Yin rubbed his palms, and when they were hot, he covered her face with his hands: "Daughter-in-law, is it warmer?"

She nodded, but it wasn't because she was cold!

This little fool, she raised the corners of her lips helplessly: "Let's go, let's go to dinner."

At this point in time, it's time for dinner. I don't know if the kitchen is ready.
