From the ashes: Return of the General

Chapter 266
Mo Xuezhai is twice the size of the courtyard where Zongzheng Mingzhen lived in the Hou Mansion.There are three rooms on the left and right, and six rooms on the horizontal, plus a yard, which is very spacious.

Glazed tiles, eaves and corners, jagged rocks, typical Jiangnan style, and besides flowers and trees, a few bamboos are planted in the yard, which is emerald green in color.There is a birdcage hanging under the corridor, presumably it was dropped by the person who moved it out before.

Knowing that Zongzheng Mingzhen didn't like raising birds, Liujiu went to the porch to take off the birdcage and said, "No wonder the old lady likes it. With this yard, there are not many in the capital."

People in the capital build houses as big as possible, seeking wealth and magnificence, with rich colors and resplendent resplendent colors. Such an exquisite place is too elegant.

Zongzheng Mingzhen didn't speak, and walked into the room.All the huanghuali furniture in sight, except for the ones he usually used and liked, basically all the decorations were replaced.

There are paintings by famous artists on the wall, various jade stones and several pots of flowers are placed on the high table.On the table is a set of white marble teacups, and a few freshly folded plum blossoms that have not yet bloomed are placed in glass vases next to it.

Although the budding flower buds are not as beautiful as when they are in full bloom, they are also very interesting, especially when several branches intersect with each other, which adds a bit of winter color.

I have to say that my old lady has worked hard this time. In order not to appear abrupt and out of place, she moved out all her family assets.With a whole set of white marble tea cups, she is not afraid that the person serving them will accidentally drop them that day.

Liujiu knew the goods, and was startled when he saw them, and murmured in his heart: What is the stimulation of the old lady, there are so many valuable things that you can't buy with money, and will you let them in in the future.What if he falls and falls down, what compensation will he have?

The entrance is the hall, the left ear room is the study, the warm pavilion, and the tea room, and the right ear room is the bedroom and bathing place. Maybe it is not spacious enough, and the bedroom is two rooms connected.The Babu bed in the bedroom is made of agarwood, with jasper cat's eyes inlaid on it, which is extremely luxurious.

He recognized this bed, it was specially made for him by his mother Magnolia eight years ago, it was going to be placed in the wedding room for him to get married, it was big, beautiful and precious, especially the agarwood was extremely rare.It cost a lot to make such a bed, and it can be said that it took a lot of effort back then.

It's a pity that it has never been used, and it has been dusted in the warehouse.

It's been eight years, maybe it's too wasteful to put it in the warehouse, so I simply need a bed in the new house, so I just moved it here.

I saw this bed in the warehouse, and Liu Jiu leaned against the door and said, "It seems that the old lady has made up her mind, and the marriage bed has been moved out. Master Hou, you need to work harder."

He prefers a heroic female general like Mei Xin to the delicate girl like a fly before. At least she doesn't talk too much, unlike some people who can make people die in a hurry.

Hearing the sound, he glanced back at him, and Zongzheng Mingzhen said expressionlessly, "Your tooth doesn't hurt anymore?"

As soon as he talked about his teeth, he quickly covered his mouth, Liujiu stood up straight and said: "It hurts, this subordinate will go get food first, and this subordinate will leave!"

Wisdom teeth have grown, which were extracted not long ago as a punishment.The pain was so painful that he didn't dare to do it again.Therefore, after saluting in a proper manner, he turned around and ran away, slipping away.

Seeing that he was running faster than a rabbit, Zongzheng Mingzhen snorted twice. At this time, Qing Huan, the servant girl who served him, came in to salute and said, "Master Hou, Madam said that the original curtains on the bed will not be used anymore. New brocade. Take a look at the color, if it is too dark, Madam will tell you to change it."

The curtains he used before were dark blue, but the curtains in front of him were crow blue, and bamboo was embroidered on the rolled edges.

Looking good, Zongzheng Mingzhen said: "No need, this color is very good, there is no need to change it. From now on, no incense is allowed in the room, just put potted flowers."

In his previous life, he almost died of incense several times, and he was quite taboo.And he himself doesn't like the smell of incense, he finds it quite offensive and irritating to the nose.

After serving in his yard for many years, knowing that he doesn't like the smell of incense, Qing Huan hurriedly said: "When Madam came in earlier, she said that there was a smell and asked the servant to smoke the incense. The servant will take out the incense burner now, and will never smell it again. Burn the incense again."

While speaking, Qing Huan hurriedly went to get the incense burner, and Zong Zheng Ming Zhen went out after saying "um".

After seeing the bedroom and going to the study room, I was indescribably satisfied, especially the shelves on the three walls were filled with his books.However, it is still more luxurious than the original study, especially the box of Hui ink, which is worth tens of thousands of gold.

My old lady can really hide it, so much Hui ink is only now taken out, and the inkstone and brush next to it are all good things.

"Qi Hou Ye, the water is ready, I will wait for you to bathe and change clothes." After speaking, Qing Huan walked in, but she didn't go directly to him, but stopped when she was three steps away.

Zongzheng Mingzhen had never been served by a maid in the bath, so he couldn't help frowning when he heard Qing Huan's words suddenly.Looking back at her, I suddenly found that she had grown up and grown up: "How old are you this year?"

Overjoyed in her heart, Qing Huan raised her drooping head instantly, glanced at Zongzheng Mingzhen secretly, she replied a little shyly, "Returning to Lord Hou, this servant is sixteen this year."

A 16-year-old girl can get married, but she dare not covet the position of wife.She has liked Zongzheng Mingzhen for many years, and she is willing to be a concubine or a housekeeper.

First incense and then waiting for him to bathe and change clothes, his intentions were obvious, Zongzheng Mingzhen was not angry, he directly called Zichen in and said, "Take her to tell Mama Zhang that every maidservant in my yard is 14 years old or older. Those who should be matched are sent away. Those who should be married should be given a contract of sale, and those who should be sent to the Zhuangzi should be sent to the Zhuangzi. From now on, no girl is allowed to come in without my permission."

There was a plop like five thunders, and Qing Huan, who was blushing, fell into hell in an instant, and said with a pale face: "Master Hou, calm down, I know I was wrong, and I will never dare again. I..."

"Prepare water, I want to take a bath!" After finishing speaking, Zongzheng Mingzhen left without even looking at her.

Zi Chen was speechless and also felt that Qing Huan had something wrong with his mind, knowing that Master Hou was most jealous of this, he still played tricks and had crooked thoughts.It's all over now, send it out: "Stop knocking, Master Hou has already left. Let's go, go to find Mama Zhang, all the maids who leave the mansion will have severance money, so you don't have to cry like a dead parent."

Poor people must have something to hate, even the master dares to think that he really ate a bear's heart and leopard's courage.

Qing Huan was sad but she was very puzzled in her heart. It was clear that the Marquis had asked her to serve her a while ago, why did it suddenly change?

Could it be that what I eavesdropped on my wife and Steward Ji before was true, Master Hou is not in the mansion at all, so that was a fake?
