There is a Wangfu wife at home

Chapter 503 New Home (Part [-])
No sooner had the furniture been moved than three more carriages arrived.

This time, they brought bedding, tea sets, pots and bowls and other small items.

Accompanying him were two well-dressed women.

She can't be called gorgeous, but judging by her temperament, she doesn't look like an ordinary woman.

It's more like the steward of a big family.

Speech and behavior are very decent.

They walked up to Li Jiaoniang and Luo Cheng, curtseyed, and said, "We are from Xuan Delang's mansion. Your lord has asked us to serve as errands in your mansion from today onwards. What's the matter in your mansion? Please do as you command."

Luo Cheng raised his eyebrows, "Xuande Lang?" Zhao Cong's brother Zhao Gui's house?

Li Jiaoniang smiled and said, "Then I will thank you."

"Mistress Li and Guan Luo can rest at ease, let us arrange the affairs of the house, and let us do it." The two women nodded to them, and they arranged quickly.

One of them directs the arrangement of furniture, and the other directs the moving of small objects.

After moving all the things into each room, the two tidied them up one by one.

Both Huzi and Juan couldn't intervene.

But then again, these two are boys, and they don't know how to tidy up the house. At most, they can help move a chair, move a vase or something.

Zhao Cong was very busy, busy supervising.

Where to put the screen, where to put the Eight Immortals table, very dedicated.

Li Jiaoniang and Luo Cheng have completely become idlers.

It was almost half a day after the house was tidied up, and it was past dinner time.

All the nearby houses were lit with lights.

Huzi and Juan also lit the candles in several rooms.

Li Jiaoniang and Luo Cheng discussed how to have dinner.

Li Jiaoniang said, "Although there are pots and pans in our house, there are no ingredients. The market has already closed and there is no place to buy vegetables. How do we eat?"

Luo Cheng said, "Then go out to eat? I'll go find a restaurant."

Li Jiaoniang smiled and said, "That's the only way. I think I'll have to eat outside tomorrow morning. I'll buy some more tomorrow and store them up for the New Year."

Luo Cheng nodded, "Okay. I'll go to the market tomorrow morning."

Zhao Cong walked over and said with a smile, "Father, Mother, I have arranged for someone to order food at a restaurant in the city, and it will be delivered right away."

Li Jiaoniang asked in surprise, "When did you order the food?"

"When I just took over the house." Zhao Cong said, "When we arrived in Lin'an City, a place I know well, how could I still make my parents worry about it? Parents should enjoy their blessings."

Li Jiaoniang and Luo Cheng were very pleased.

"Thank you, Cong'er." Luo Cheng praised.

"Father and mother have been on the road for a day, and they are already tired. I just ordered food, it's a small thing." Zhao Cong said with a smile.

Not long after, there was a knock on the door of the house.

Juan walked over and asked, "Who is it?"

"From Qingchun Restaurant, here comes the delivery of food and drinks."

Hu An had already received Zhao Cong's instructions, and when he heard that Qingchunlou was delivering food and drinks, he just opened the door and invited him in.

He opened the door immediately.

A fat man dressed as a cook, led two waiters and two cooks, walked in with a food box.

Each of them carried two one-foot-high food boxes in their hands.

Juan led them into the main hall.

In the main hall, the bowls and chopsticks have already been placed, just waiting for the wine and food to be delivered.

The two maids sent by Zhao Gui have already lit the brazier and put it under the table.

It is convenient for everyone to eat and bake their legs at the same time.

Ten food boxes, containing ten dishes.

There are soup dishes, cold dishes, and stir-fried dishes.

They are all famous dishes in Lin'an City.

Zhao Cong moved the chair beside the table and said, "Father, mother, it's time to eat. I ordered a famous dish from Lin'an, I don't know if it suits my parents' taste."

Juan and Huzi, with their eyes shining, kept rubbing their hands together, waiting for the order to eat.

The meal I ate on the road in the middle of the afternoon has already been digested by now.

Li Jiaoniang just wants to eat a big bowl to fill her stomach, does he care about famous dishes or side dishes?
The dishes of the Song Dynasty are incomparable with those of the later generations. Stir-fried dishes at this time have just become popular, and the condiments are not complete, and many dishes can only be cooked.

To choose the taste, she only likes what she makes.

But when you are lazy and don't want to cook, you can't dislike what others do.

"It's not bad, it's delicious just looking at it." Li Jiaoniang said with a smile.

At least better than the average restaurant.

Zhao Cong has worked so hard, how can he refute his kindness?
Zhao Cong was happy and poured the wine himself.

First to Luo Cheng, then to Li Jiaoniang.

In the end, he gave the flagon to Huzi Juan, which meant to tell them to do whatever they wanted.

Luo Cheng took a sip of wine, "Not bad."

Zhao Cong was even happier. He was also worried that Luo Cheng and Li Jiaoniang were not satisfied with the food and drinks at Lin'an Restaurant.

After a day of driving in the car and tidying up the house, we were already tired and hungry.

Ten dishes, five people almost wiped them all out.

Especially Huzi and Juan, the two of them were like tigers descending the mountain, eating everything in one go.

After dinner.

The two maids said again, "The rooms are all tidied up, hot water is burning on the stove in the kitchen, sir and lady, please rest."

Li Jiaoniang was not used to being served suddenly.

"Understood, thank you two sister-in-laws." Li Jiaoniang smiled and nodded at the two.

An older man immediately said, "No way, big lady, how dare the servants be the sister-in-law of the big lady? The slave's family name is Sang, and the big lady can just call me Lady Sang." Pointing to another woman, he said, " Her surname is Tian, ​​the eldest lady should call her Lady Tian."

Li Jiaoniang nodded, "Alright, you two ladies have worked hard, and we are also tired, so let's arrange a rest."

The two ladies agreed and went down to fetch water.

Behind the main house of this house is the kitchen, and there is a well in the small courtyard of the kitchen.

It is very convenient to use water or something.

The house has two entrances. Although the house is small, it is like a sparrow, with all internal organs.

At the gate of the front courtyard, there are two south rooms for the servants who guard the gate.

There are three bedrooms in the wing rooms on the east and west sides.

A principal room.

On both sides of the main room, there is a side room.

The other is the kitchen behind the main house.

Enough for a family to live on.

Li Jiaoniang and Luo Cheng used three rooms in the East Wing.

Zhao Cong will live here temporarily, using the room on the west side.

Juan and Huzi lived in the south room on the side of the gate of the house.

It is convenient to guard the gate of the house.

The two maids, Mrs. Sang and Mrs. Tian lived in a side room on the left side of the main house.It is close to the kitchen, which is convenient for housework.

There is a screen wall on one side of the south room, and there is an open space behind it, which can just park two carriages.

Juan and Huzi settled the horses, yawned and went to see their new room.

The bed is new, as are the bedding, etc.

Both were happy.

Everyone was tired, and after washing themselves, they went to bed.

Li Jiaoniang moved to a new place, so she couldn't sleep well and turned over several times on the bed.

Luo Cheng fished her into his arms and held her down to keep her from moving.

Thinking of the tiredness of last night, Li Jiaoniang became nervous and pushed him, "Stop making trouble, you are tired. There are still many things to do tomorrow."

Luo Cheng rubbed her face, smiled softly, "Okay. Go to sleep, and I won't trouble you."

She worked hard last night, and today she has to drive for another day. Anyone who is hard-working will be tired.

What's more, Li Jiaoniang with a delicate body?
Luo Cheng couldn't bear to want her at all, and didn't let her move, just to let her go to bed early.

Sure enough, when Luo Cheng said this, Li Jiaoniang fell asleep soon after she relaxed physically and mentally.

……

Li Jiaoniang was thinking about the important things on the New Year's Eve, so she didn't sleep well.

When she woke up a little bit, she didn't go back to sleep.

Turning his head to look to the side, Luo Cheng has already got up.

It was bright outside the window.

On the tree in front of the window, there are birds chirping.

Li Jiaoniang rubbed her face, stretched herself, and picked up the tent to get up.

As soon as she put on her slippers, Tian Niangzi, who was sitting in the room doing needlework, immediately came up and said, "Madam is awake? Is Madam going to get up? I'm going to fetch water for Madam."

Mrs. Li was startled, and then realized that she also has servants.

In the future when she has more money, servants will only be the norm.

This has to get used to.

Li Jiaoniang agreed to be served.

She nodded, "It's getting late, it's time to get up. Go fetch water, I'll find clothes for myself."

Mrs. Tian replied, "Okay." Then she said, "The clothes of the eldest lady and the gentleman are all arranged in the cabinet. On the left is the eldest lady's, and on the right is the gentleman's."

"Understood." Li Jiaoniang said.

Lady Tian went out.

Li Jiaoniang exhaled, and carefully looked at the bedroom.

This bedroom is wider than the bedroom in the medical hall, and even larger than the one she lived in Longquan County when she was a child.

There are twenty steps in all directions.

In front of the bed is a carved pear-blossom screen with six doors, engraved with pictures of rich and auspicious peonies.

On the wall outside the bed, there is a large cabinet with eight doors.

Outside the screen is the Eight Immortals table.

The table was covered with beautifully embroidered brocade in autumn colors.

On the table there is also a white teapot with a plump belly painted with broken branches of red plums, and six lovely snow-white cups placed upside down on the tray.
