But seeing how respectful Eunuch Xu was to Su Wan, Bao Zhu and Bao Ya could only follow silently.
Wu Xiang took Eunuch Xu and Bao Zhuya to the front hall, and the remaining people rearranged the place for them to rest. He also called the servants to bring them tea and snacks, and informed the kitchen to make more dinner tonight.
Looking at the well-trained maids and servants in the yard, Eunuch Xu, who was already drinking tea with a cup of tea, secretly sighed in his heart: This Su Mansion is much more peaceful than Prince Xian's Mansion, but when you look at these servants, there are not that many servants.
Wrong idea!
…
In the backyard, Su Chen and Su Yu had just finished studying for the day. Both of them looked ashen and dusty, as if they had just emerged from the deep mountains and old forests.
The clothes on my body were wet and dry, and now they were covered with a layer of salt and frost. When the cold wind blew, the clothes that had not yet dried were filled with a slight chill.
Zhu Lan quickly ordered someone to bring the boiled water in and help the two little dumplings bathe and change clothes.
Although they are still young and sleep together at night, Su Wan still arranged two rooms for them to wash their own dishes. After all, it can be faster if two dumplings are washed at the same time.
As for the doubts raised by the little dumplings, Su Wan responded by saying that the bathtub was too small and it would be uncomfortable for two people to squeeze in.
Thinking about it, Su Chen and Su Yu felt comfortable soaking in the water alone and washing slowly...
As night falls, the maids and boys serving here light up the lanterns all over the yard. Against the backdrop of the dim candlelight, the whole yard has a unique flavor.
There was a sound of water in the two houses, and half an hour later, the brother and sister came out at the same time. After cleaning up, they were two little pink dumplings again.
Wu Xiang had already sent someone over to report that Eunuch Xu had returned the dowry, and asked her if she wanted to go to the front yard to see it in person.
"Let's go. I have made Eunuch Xu wait for so long. If I wait any longer, I will be the master of something wrong." Su Wan said this to Ruan Yu. Just as she was about to turn around and leave, she was caught by two little dumplings.
Stopped.
Looking at the expressions on their little faces, I knew I wanted to go with them. Su Wan smiled softly and said gently to them: "Okay, I will take you to the front hall to have a look."
"Yeah, mother, you're the best!" Su Yu rubbed her face against Su Wan's palm and said with a bright smile.
Ruan Yu waved to her side, and several boys carrying lanterns walked in front, lighting the way to the front yard for them.
There were many candles burning in the front yard, and the boys who were busy counting the items were busy with their hands. Those who had finished counting had been carried back to the warehouse for storage, and there were not many left.
Su Wan entered the front hall with two little dumplings, and Eunuch Xu quickly stood up and saluted. After all, he was on another family's territory. Even if he was the steward of Prince Xian's Mansion, he had to be careful.
"Eunuch Xu, there is no need to be polite. I am late, please don't blame Eunuch Xu." Su Wan sat down at the top, glanced at Baozhu and Baoya, and said with a smile.
Su Chen has always been serious in front of outsiders. But Su Yu is different. Acting cute and cute has always been her strong point.
After being nestled in Su Wan's arms, her black grape-like eyes looked towards Eunuch Xu. After a moment, her fleshy little hands gently pulled Su Wan's clothes and asked in a low voice: "Mother
Dear, is that grandpa like Uncle Lin, a housekeeper in someone else's house?"
The front hall was very quiet. Although Su Yu's voice was not loud, it still reached Eunuch Xu's ears. A "butler" heard this, which made him feel mixed emotions.
When he was in the palace before, everyone called him "Eunuch Xu". But when he followed Zhan Wenxuan out of the palace to build a mansion, the people and things he encountered were not the same as they were in the palace.
Especially in the past few years when Su Yun "exclusively occupied" Prince Xian's palace, she often heard the title "eunuch". Even if this was true, it still made people feel uncomfortable.
And the little girl in front of him was called "grandpa" and "housekeeper" as soon as she opened her mouth. These two titles really touched his heart!
