Houmen Dixiu

Chapter 22 Placement (1)
Mrs. Du placed Xiao Huaisu there, even if there is an empathy factor, it is said that she attaches great importance to this granddaughter, everyone listens to it, no matter if it is the young master or lady in the mansion, or the servant girl, she will never dare to neglect her in the future her.

Wang's eyes just flashed, then she turned her head and said to the woman, "Lian Sheng's family, can you hear me clearly?"

Liansheng's family hurriedly responded, and Mrs. Du nodded in satisfaction.

After Du Boyan was settled in the outer courtyard, he entered the second gate, and everyone paid another visit.

Brothers Du Yanzhao and Du Yanyi were obviously more familiar with him, and they called their fourth uncle affectionately. On the contrary, Du Yanyu was somewhat alienated from his father, but was very close to Du Yanyun.

Du Boyan turned to Mrs. Du again and said: "Father and eldest brother are still in court, I'm afraid they will come back later, mother and sister-in-law will wash up and settle down first, let's have a good reunion at dinner time, and it will also cleanse Huai Su up. !" He said with a smile and looked at Xiao Huaisu.

Mrs. Du nodded, and everyone went to the inner courtyard.

Liansheng's family turned around and gave orders again, and the servants and maids in the yard dispersed.

After sitting down in Mrs. Du's room, Du Boyan exchanged pleasantries, and then went out with his two nephews, saying that he was going to take a school homework test to see if the days were over.

Seeing the back of them leaving, Mrs. Wang covered her lips and smiled, "It's thanks to the enthusiasm of the fourth brother." Seeing Mrs. Du's eyes as if in a deep pool, she quickly changed her words: "I should also talk to them later. Father said, just pay more attention to their homework!"

Xiao Huaisu watched from the side, and suddenly realized a lot.

Don't look at Mrs. Du and Wang's close unity when they were in the Xiao Mansion, but the closer it is to Bianjing, the stronger the taste between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. After all, they are not biological mother and daughter, so they are separated by a layer.

Although Mrs. Wang is the head of the house, Mrs. Du will not lose her majesty.

Du Yanyun stepped forward to hold Xiao Huaisu's hand again, and said with a cordial smile: "Grandfather and father said after they got home that my cousin will live with us from now on. If there is any inconvenience, just tell me." He smiled and turned Mrs. Du said, "My mother is busy with family affairs, and I don't want to disturb grandma, so feel free to come to me if you have anything to do."

Xiao Huaisu smiled shyly, and seeing Mrs. Du nodded to her, she responded, "From now on, I will trouble my second cousin!"

Mrs. Du pointed at Du Yanyun and said, "Even though Sister Yun is young, she has already followed her mother to learn how to be a housekeeper. Girls still need to learn these things early, and they will look good when they do it now."

Du Yanyun smiled generously, "Grandmother, don't praise me, otherwise I really did something wrong, and you will be embarrassed to scold me later."

"This girl!"

Mrs. Du shook her head with a smile, recruited Du Yanyu to be by her side, took her hand and patted it, "Sister Yu is also a sister now, you have to take good care of your cousin from now on, you know?"

"Yes, grandmother."

Du Yanyu responded softly, and then turned her head to look at Xiao Huaisu, her big eyes blinked and blinked, indeed a little curious.

Several granddaughters gathered around Mrs. Du and began to talk softly, but the Liansheng family was explaining the affairs of the mansion to Mrs. Wang in detail.

"All the gifts that should be given by each family in the next year have already been sent. It is still in accordance with the usual practice in previous years. If any family gave more, the servants also discussed with the second lady, and took the corresponding gifts and sent them back."

The Liansheng family married the Du family with the Wang family since she was a maid, and she also married Du Liansheng, the second steward of the Du family. Now she is a very respectable steward's wife in the mansion.

Mrs. Wang nodded, and asked again: "Have the fruits and game from the village been delivered? Let's cook some fresh ones today, and make some Cordyceps and Duck Soup. This is hot and nourishing. The old lady who has been working hard all the way wants to eat it too." Make up for it.” After a pause, he continued: “You can bring me those accounts later in the afternoon.”

Lian Sheng's family nodded repeatedly.

Mrs. Wang also showed a bit of fatigue with one hand on her forehead. Mrs. Du saw it and said in a timely manner: "Boss daughter-in-law, you can go down with the two maids and settle down first. Huai Su will stay here."

Mrs. Wang stood up with a smile and did not evade, "I feel a little tired after what my mother-in-law said. I will go back and freshen up and see you later!" Smoothing the black hair on the back of her head, "Grandmother is getting old, and she wants you to take care of her two younger sisters when she has time!"

Du Yanyun smiled and nodded, acting like a lady, "Don't worry, mother, I will save it."

Mrs. Wang took Du Yanyun and Du Yanyu back, Xiao Huaisu obediently leaned beside Mrs. Du's lap, raised her head and said, "Grandmother is tired, Huaisu will pinch your legs!"

"What can you do, little monkey?"

Mrs. Du smiled and waved her hands, then pointed to the two maids standing in front of her, "This is Xiangtao and Xiangling, the big maids in my room, if you have anything to do, just ask them to do it." He glanced at Xiaoju who was standing in the corner, "This girl has to learn to behave, Xiangtao will take her to Miss Biao after a while."

"Yes!"

Xiangtao replied yes, she has a round face, and she looks kind of friendly.

Mrs. Du said to Xiangling again: "Go and talk to Madam, and see that you will call a few more maids from the governor to serve Huai Su. From now on, Huai Su will follow me in daily life and food, and now she is a In the filial piety period, let's look at it and reduce it!"

"Yes, old lady!"

Xiangling is handsome, but neither of them looks outstanding, but they are more calm in their gestures.

The two maids went to their own business, Mrs. Du pulled Xiao Huaisu up again, and pulled her black hair behind her ears, "My residence has always been clean and simple, and there are not many maids. There is a mother Liu who follows me, but right now I have sent her back to her hometown to look after her ancestral house, she has been tired all her life, and when she gets old, she will always enjoy some happiness!"

"That's my grandmother's mercy!"

Xiao Huaisu said something else, but Mrs. Du laughed, "I'm really not mistaken, you girl is a quick learner, especially with a sweet mouth... ok, ok!" Somewhat emotional.

Xiao Huaisu is not surprised when she gets old and loses her daughter, she can find out a little bit about Mrs. Du's state of mind. Now all she can do is stay by the old man's side and accompany her through the rest of the journey.

Mrs. Du was tired, so she took a nap in the afternoon.

Xiangling followed Mrs. Du's instructions and took Xiao Huaisu to the small courtyard behind the main house, but turned around a corridor and walked through a moon gate to arrive. The small courtyard is not big, but it looks exquisite.

An old pagoda tree was planted in the east, and there were grape trellises in the west facing the sun. In winter, some withered and yellow vines climbed up. I think it will be green again in spring.
