White Hedge Dream

Chapter 4 Check-in

Zhou Jingyun's residence is east of Hou Mansion.

"The young ladies who have not yet married live in the courtyard of the madam. The young gentlemen who have not yet married live in the large courtyard of the outer academy. The young gentlemen who are married will be divided into separate courtyards. They say they are divided into courtyards, but in fact they are divided into separate courtyards. "Yes," the pretty maid said, pointing to Zhuang Li, "There are walls built on the west side, and the Marquis also opened the main entrance separately."

This is equivalent to setting up one's own business.

"My son is different." Xu's mother said with a smile.

The prince is the future owner of this family.

The maid smiled and said yes, and said to Zhuang Li with a bit of playfulness: "Our yard here is very big."

At this time, Zhuang Li had already entered the courtyard here. The layout was similar to that of Mrs. Dongyang Hou. There were five main rooms with ears and side rooms on both sides. There was also a towering tree in the courtyard, but there was no wisteria flower stand.

There were little maids standing in the corridor. When they saw them coming in, they all came up to say hello.

"This is the main hall, where the prince lives his daily life." Xu's mother said, without taking her in, she went directly to the side room, and from here passed through the corner door and entered the courtyard behind.

This is a two-story building. There are flowerbeds and flower stands in the courtyard, and there are also piles of Taihu stones.

"This is the residence of the Crown Prince's wife." Xu's mother said. She did not look at Zhuang Li as she spoke. Her expression was a bit sad. Xu was thinking of the Crown Prince's wife who was in front of her.

Zhuang Li didn't care and followed him, his expression calm.

The maid who originally spoke with a smile fell silent at this time, with a trace of sadness in her eyes.

No one spoke, and the scene was a bit stagnant. Aunt Mei looked left and right, then stood up and said, "Go in, it's a long walk from Madam's place. Young Madam must be tired."

Mother Xu smiled quickly and said, "No, come in quickly." Then she went to lift the curtain herself.

Zhuang Li stepped indoors.

"I don't know what you like, but I was in a hurry after receiving the news. I, Aunt Mei and Xue Liu arranged it all." Mother Xu said, "You can just move in and let them decorate it according to your own preferences."

Zhuang Li had already sat down on the chair, nodded and said hello.

Xu's mother choked. She didn't know whether she was praising the arrangement or saying that she could watch the arrangement herself.

The young girl's behavior seemed a little ungrateful and arrogant.

The maid saw Mother Xu's embarrassment, supported her and said, "Don't worry, Mother Xu. I am here, but you don't trust me?"

Xu's mother was sad and relieved, holding her hand and smiling, "How can I not trust you?" At this point, she took the maid's hand and looked at Zhuang Li, "Young Madam, her name is Xue Liu, she is the First Young Madam. left behind.”

Madam, Zhuang Li looked at Xue Liu.

Xue Liu also looked at her, bowed slightly and saluted, but kept her back straight.

Mother Xu smiled, bowed to Zhuang Li and excused herself, "If you have anything to do, ask someone to call me."

Zhuang Li nodded: "Thank you for your hard work, Mom."

Mother Xu withdrew.

Xue Liu called the maids to make tea and brought it to Zhuang Li personally: "Young madam, please try our tea. It is the prince's taste. It is different from madam's. If you don't like it, let someone change it."

Zhuang Li said: "I don't care about drinking tea, it's fine, no need to change."

Xue Liu smiled and answered yes, then asked: "Young Madam, do you have any arrangements for the maidservant next to you?"

Zhuang Li was sent back by someone arranged by Zhou Jingyun. There were servants, maids, and maids along the way, but when he entered the door, they all handed over their errands. Zhuang Li went to see Mrs. Dongyang Hou himself.

She was alone, and Mr. Zhuang and his wife did not give her a maid.

Zhuang Li glanced at the room. There were three maids in their eighteen or nineteen years old standing, wearing different clothes and wearing the same green belt.

"Just follow the arrangements here, Prince Edward," she said.

Xue Liu pointed to a tall, slender, oval-faced maid in the hall: "This is Chunyue, the young lady has something to give her."

The spring moon salutes Zhuang Li.

Zhuang Li took a sip of tea and put it down: "You are tired too, go down and rest."

Xue Liu responded with a smile, and Aunt Mei, who was silent from Mrs. Hou, hurriedly saluted, and the two of them withdrew. "Are you mute?" Xue Liu said to Aunt Mei as soon as she left the yard, "Why didn't you say a word?"

Aunt Mei raised her head. Although she was an aunt, she was more like a maid in front of Xue Liu.

She was also born as a maid.

When asked by Xue Liu, Aunt Mei said: "I, she is so young, I don't know what to say."

Xue Liu smiled half-heartedly: "No matter what age you are in the prince's house, we should respect him even if he is young."

Aunt Mei hurriedly said: "I know, I will respect you." Looking at Xue Liu's eyebrows, she said flatteringly, "She is not much younger than you, you are about the same."

Xue Liu seemed a little amused: "Auntie, don't be so afraid. You have been serving the prince since you were a child. Even if you disrespect her, no one can drive you away." At this point, he sighed softly, "I am different. Our lady is no longer here. I'm just an outsider."

Aunt Mei hurriedly waved her hands: "Don't say that. The young lady handed over the crown prince to you before she died. You are not an outsider..."

Xue Liu interrupted her: "Auntie, don't talk nonsense."

Aunt Mei was startled and panicked, as if she didn't know what she was talking about.

Xue Liu looked at her and said softly: "I want to call you Madam first. The Young Madam you are today is no longer my lady."

After saying that, he looked back, his delicate features and eyes looking a little sad.

Things are really changing now.

…

…

There was the sound of water in the bathroom, followed by the sound of cloth being rubbed, and Chunyue outside immediately walked over a few steps.

"Young lady, have you finished washing?" she asked, "Shall the servants go in and take care of you?"

A female voice came from inside: "Come in."

Chun Yue hurriedly took the two maids in. The water inside was misty. Zhuang Li had already come out of the bathtub, only half of his body was wrapped in cloth, revealing his smooth shoulders and slender legs.

I don't know whether it was because of her dim vision or because the woman was no longer wearing simple clothes. Chunyue only felt that the woman in front of her was somewhat graceful and luxurious.

He still has that slender figure.

Chunyue lowered her gaze and took the cotton cloth to wipe the water on Zhuang Li's legs and feet, while the other two maids wiped Zhuang Li's long black hair.

I wiped off the water and put on my homely clothes.

"This is a new work by the embroidery house." Chunyue said, "You can make do with it first, and then let the embroidery lady measure it."

Zhuang Li nodded and walked out. The maids in the room had already set up the incense burner.

"What spices does the young lady like?" Chunyue asked, pointing to the spice boxes lined up.

Zhuang Li said: "Green orange."

The maids over there put the dried green orange peels into the incense burner, and the aroma of orange peels spread in the room. Zhuang Li leaned on the Arhat bed by the window, letting the maids gently bake her long hair. Close your eyes slowly.

Chun Yue looked at the woman who was lying down with her eyes closed and seemed to be sleeping, with a slight surprise in her eyes.

In any case, the young lady just walked in today, came to such a strange place, and was served by these strange maids, she was not at all restrained.

This can no longer be said to be generous, this is simply contented.

She looked at the woman with her eyes closed, the heat of the incense burner diffused and enveloped her. She didn't know if it was because she was dazzled, but she always felt that it was both real and illusory.

Zhuang Li closed his eyes and felt his body gradually becoming empty.

Zhuang Sheng dreamed of butterflies, butterflies dreamed of Zhuang Sheng, who am I, who am I, Zang Zang dreamed, dreamed Zang Zang.

I recommend a book by a friend: "Master Lin's Qigui Medical Clinic". If you have friends who read there in JJ, you can give it a try.
