Chapter 62 Bian's Kindness

After resting for a long time, he felt better and felt better. In the second half of the day, Jiang Fusang began to take the maids to tidy up.

First, open the box, take out all the daily necessities, and place them everywhere.

The makeup mirror and dressing table were placed under the south window. The couch, brocade quilt, curtains, etc. were all replaced with new ones. A screen depicting the four seasons landscape was added in front of the couch, as well as some other decorative ornaments.

Looking at it after cleaning it up, it feels like a different house.

The courtyard was also rearranged and planned according to her habits in the south. Flowers were planted where needed, and trees were planted where needed.

The good lady gave the instructions one by one and felt quite relieved. She thought that the lady would be depressed for some time.

Jiang Fusang smiled: "Life will always get worse. I will live here for a long time in the future. I also want to live more comfortably."

"Then, why don't you tell the Fifth Young Master?"

Jiang Fusang said no need.

He insisted on marrying him, and since she was married, she naturally had to make arrangements according to her own wishes.

When others wrong her, she can't do it to herself anymore. If he doesn't like it, he can't help it.

Chang Pu asked what arrangements were made for the two side rooms.

Jiang Fusang thought for a while and said: "The room on the left is set up as a study. You can go in and study after you have finished your daily chores. As for the boxes and cages containing clothes, put them in the room on the right."

After a while, Wan Qing called back and said that there were some sundries in the side room on the right, which should belong to the fifth young master.

"Are there many things?"

Wan Qing didn’t answer much.

"I don't have too many clothes, so I should put them away."

Wan Qing understood, and smiled and asked Ji Lian and Chun Rong to continue carrying it in. Chun Rong didn't need help from others, he could wrap it up all by himself.

There used to be some waiters in this courtyard, but not many. After Xiao Yuandu came back from Beijing, he lost a lot of people. Now there are only one Nian Bo who is in charge of the front hall, one Sister Fang who is in charge of the restaurant, and in addition there are

Two errand boys and two cleaning maids.

The six of them had previously speculated that the young lady was being treated coldly by the Fifth Young Master as a new member of the family, and they didn't know how to hurt her feelings.

Unexpectedly, he was not affected at all. He was pointing out the situation in the courtyard, arranging troops and looking at him happily.

No one dared to touch the Fifth Young Master's things on weekdays, and she didn't care at all. She moved them when they needed to, putting her own comfort first at all times.

While the servants admired him, they couldn't help but feel a little frightened, fearing that he was even more difficult to serve than the fifth master.

After Jiang Fusang finished his work, he called several people to him, asked their names one by one, and then gave them rewards.

"You can continue to work in the same place and have a good job."

The six of them were happy to have received the generous reward, and they felt even better after hearing this.

The female monarch has such a good temper and is so tolerant, so she is much easier to serve than the fifth young master!

After they went out, Chang Pu quietly exhaled, "I didn't expect the Fifth Young Master's courtyard to be so simple."

If the first-class maids and the second-class maids are all present, then when these dowry maids come over, they will have to rearrange and make adjustments.

Not to mention the trouble, everyone is his own master, and everyone has his own thoughts, and there will be some open and covert fighting.

Jiang Fusang was also a little surprised. She thought Xiao Yuandu would be the kind of person who would hug each other...

Just as I was thinking about it, Mr. Bian came.

"I think there are not enough manpower in the fifth uncle's courtyard, and I am afraid that my brother-in-law will have trouble using people, so I will send you a few. They are not as good as those trained by my brother-in-law. I will keep them if I think they can be used."

As soon as he finished speaking, four servants and four maidservants came forward, stood in a row, kowtowed to the ground and said, "I have seen the queen."

"Get up." Jiang Fusang raised his hand, "I'm a little stuck here, but my eldest sister-in-law has relieved my urgent need."

Mrs. Bian laughed: "The maids in front of my brother-in-law are all very clever. Even if I have that intention, I can't choose a better one. These are just for rough use. My brother-in-law puts them in the outer courtyard and occasionally listens to them.

There is no need to praise them as a poor person, or they will break the rules."

"That's it." Jiang Fosang nodded and asked Bian to sit in his room.

While the maid was serving tea, Mrs. Bian took a look around and saw that the room had been completely renovated. She secretly thought that this brother-in-law was quite generous.

"Uncle Wu, this yard used to be unpopular. Now that the mistress is running it, it is really different. If anyone needs help from me, the eldest sister-in-law, just ask. We will be a family from now on, so don't get into any disagreements."

"I'm new here, and I really have a question to ask." Jiang Fusang bowed slightly and handed her tea, "Xiao, there is no one to serve you in the master's courtyard?"

Her service obviously did not refer to the two sweeping maids.

Ms. Bian raised his eyes and saw that her eyes were clear and she didn't have any taste or calculation. It seemed like it was just an ordinary question.

Putting down the tea cup, he sighed: "At Uncle Wu's age, it is normal for there to be a few people in the house. It's just that he returned home not many years ago..."

Returning home? In other words, Xiao Yuandu was not in Xiao Mansion earlier, or even not in Jiyuan?

Although Jiang Fusang had doubts, he did not ask further.

"On weekdays, my fifth uncle is either in the army or elsewhere, and his days living in the mansion are very few. The A's had arranged two for him before, but he... ahem, withdrew them both."

Bian didn't tell the truth.

The two maids who were sent to warm the bed, before they had time to use their methods on the night of passing the hospital, were frightened to death by the living king of hell. They ran to Mrs. Tong wailing and would rather hit the wall and throw themselves into the well.

Stop serving the Fifth Young Master.

Mr. Bian also couldn't understand that the fifth uncle was not a womanizer. During the most mischievous years, he often hung out with Pan Yue and others. But he just didn't want to marry a wife and have a servant.

He was already past the age of starting a family, otherwise, your lordship would not have forced him to marry Zhong Yu. It was just that he had not calculated that it was not Zhong Yu who came in, but someone else.

Jiang Fusang nodded: "It's just no need to poop."

She couldn't believe that Xiao Yuandu didn't have a woman.

Even for an upright gentleman like Captain Heng, Liang Lao found out that there were two maids in the room specially arranged by his mother. Xiao Yuandu was several years older than himself... She only thought it was because of the marriage granted by the court.

, the Xiao family sent those people away.

Mrs. Bian guessed that she would think so. She thought to herself, he really didn't have one, so why didn't you bring nine of them?

"I have one more thing to do today. Regarding Jiu's arrangements, my brother-in-law, please see..."

Jiu'an and the craftsman are still staying in the villa where Jiang Fusang lived temporarily.

Fortunately, the craftsman said, as a concubine given by the queen, there is no reason to leave her in the cold for a long time.

Mr. Bian continued: "If we bring everyone here, Uncle Wu will definitely not be able to live in this courtyard. The side courtyard is empty and is only used to store your brother-in-law's dowry."

Jiang Fusang thought she wanted to make room for him.

It's not impossible, but the warehouses in the courtyard obviously cannot hold her dowry.

Mr. Bian had no such intention: "There is still a free courtyard in the mansion, which is a little remote. According to my wishes, I will place it there for the time being. When I have free time later, it will not be too late to rearrange it."

Xiao's Mansion occupies a very large area, much larger than Xu's Mansion, and can be divided into three large parts.

As the head of the family, Xiao Hu and his wife and concubines live in the middle of the central axis to the north.

The big, three and four-bedroom residences are located to the east of the central axis; the courtyards of brothers Xiao Yuandu and Xiao Yuanxi are located to the west of the central axis.

The courtyard Bian mentioned was located in the northwest corner of the entire Xiao Mansion, and could be said to be very remote.

In fact, it may not be that a more suitable yard cannot be found. Bian's arrangement is probably to allow the newlyweds to spend more time alone.

Although it was not necessary, Jiang Fusang understood the good intention.

"Let my elder sister-in-law arrange it."

Di Si and Si talked for a while, and then Bian stood up to leave.

Jiang Fusang sent her out.

Mrs. Bian felt that with Lao Wu's temperament, he might not know when he would return home, and he was afraid that the bride would not feel well mentally, so he took her hand and said: "Brothers and sisters, don't stay bored in the house all the time. If you have nothing to do, you can leave it to me."

Get your carriage ready and go for a stroll around the city to take a good look at our Jiyuan City!"
