Laid-back sweet wife

Chapter 23 The little master of the century-old side house
"20 meters ahead, turn right."

Reminded by the pleasant female voice in the earphones, under the refreshing green shade by the roadside, Shu Yumo, who was lost in thought while walking, regained consciousness and entered the turning mode.

The bell rang, and Shu Yumo answered the phone, "Hi, I'm Shu Yumo."

On the other end of the phone, there was silence for two seconds, "Miss, I am Bian Xiao."

Shu Yumo stopped in her tracks, "Yes."

"Miss, according to the conditions you proposed, ten candidate gardeners have been screened out. When will you come here to choose?"

Shu Yumo was slightly displeased, "Uncle Xiao, you are the housekeeper. You should be the master of these daily affairs."

Her hair was scrupulously combed, she stood upright by the phone, and replied earnestly, "Miss, I don't know which things should be counted as daily affairs and which ones are not. Please let me know."

The corners of Shu Yumo's mouth curled slightly, and his eyes brightened, "You make a list of all the affairs managed by the side house, and I'll be there at two o'clock in the afternoon."

"The gardener?"

"At three o'clock, inform them of the interview location, in front of the main hall of the side house." Shu Yumo gave the order clearly.

Bian Ling put down the phone, his expression still serious.

The side house servants surrounding him asked cautiously, "Uncle Xiao, will Miss come?"

"Miss, come over at two o'clock in the afternoon."

"Great! Uncle Xiao, what should we prepare?" Everyone was nervous and excited, and the fateful moment came.

"Go to the kitchen to purchase fresh fruits and vegetables, and prepare afternoon tea and dinner. The lady doesn't like spicy and flavorful things, and the food and fruits are mainly light in taste. Others, continue with their daily work and don't need special attention What?" Bian Ling recalled.

"Do you want to inform the master?" Someone asked again.

Bian Ling swept everyone's probing eyes one by one, and said affirmatively, "Bian Zhai, there are only young ladies, not masters."

The Bian House is the oldest house in the rich north of City A, with a history of over a hundred years, covering an area of ​​98 mu.More than a hundred years ago, the owner of the side house bought this place and invited a well-known designer at that time to perfectly integrate European gardens and traditional Chinese architectural styles. According to the terrain, he designed twelve buildings in the garden and landscapes of all sizes, which are comfortable and comfortable. Elegant and majestic, coupled with the unique temperament accumulated over the years, make it a unique landscape here, and it can even be said to be the symbol of this area.

Shu Yumo got off the car and looked up at the pink velvet flowers blooming on the tall velvet tree in the house.

The velvet tree, also known as the Albizia julibrissin tree, is said to be the soul of Emperor Ehuang and the concubine Nvying who died of tears and blood, and their souls were integrated with Yu Shunhe.Acacia infusion, open day and night, love each other, so it is also described as loyal and unswerving love.Grandma and mother both like the blooming velvet flowers very much.

However, the grandmother in her old age should not like this sacred tree that symbolizes love very much, and she will feel sad to see it.

"Hello miss." When she walked into the opened door, the servants waiting on both sides bowed and saluted.

Such a scene has not been seen for many years.

Shu Yumo walked slowly, and when she passed by, the servants got up one by one, looking down at her feet without looking sideways.

Shu Yumo walked up to Bian Xiao who also bowed down and saluted respectfully, looked at his black hair, and thought of the gray hair of Liang Nian, the housekeeper next door.

"Uncle Ying, I haven't seen you for many years, and you haven't changed at all." Shu Yumo said with emotion.

Bian Ling straightened up slightly, looked at Shu Yumo gently, "Miss, welcome home."

Shu Yumo nodded slightly, then turned to look at the main house.Stone walls, carved wooden doors, flowers blooming on the window sills, the years are ruthless but affectionate, everything is still familiar.

"The human face has already gone with the wind, leaving this scene to sing for the rest of my life." Shu Yumo felt the same way as the two poems that grandma's grandfather mentioned on the wall in his later years.

Stepping into the well-lit hall, the furniture layout is the same as in the past, Shu Yumo felt that his eyes were hot.

Bian Ling quietly stood two steps behind Shu Yumo, and motioned for the person in charge of the kitchen to bring watermelon juice.

This was Shu Yumo's favorite drink when he was a child.Every time she comes, grandma will order someone to serve a cup, and while watching her drink with a smile, she tells, "Watermelon is cold, baby, don't drink too much, just a small cup is fine."

Shu Yumo drank a few sips, and couldn't help falling into memories again. Unlike the heart-pounding pain of the past ten years, when thinking of grandma now, Didi is gentle.

Bian Ling handed over a newly printed document, "Miss, these are related affairs in the house. I have divided them into several categories according to my own understanding. Please have a look."

Shu Yumo took it and flipped through it.

Security, kitchen, home care, finance, etc., each item was clearly organized. She looked at it carefully, asked a few items that she didn't know, then closed it, and wrote her mailbox on the back with a pen, "First, Change these into the form of a table, and add the current person in charge of the work after each item; second, list the problems that need to be solved in the house in order of priority, and list them one by one; Fourth, there is also a list of the current personnel list and detailed information in the front house. All these, send to this mailbox before [-]:[-] am tomorrow, and I will reply before [-]:[-] noon you."

Note down.

Shu Yumo lowered his head and drank two sips of watermelon juice, then asked, "Miss, are you staying here tonight?"

"No, I have my own residence." Shu Yumo looked at the time and stood up, "I'll go around and come back in 10 minutes to choose someone."

Bian Ling looked up at the new owner walking out, and asked worriedly, "Miss, do you need me to guide you?"

Miss likes this cute little problem of getting lost, and Bian Ling also remembers it.

"Has there been any major changes in the house in the past ten years?"

"No."

"Then there's no need." Shu Yumo strolled out.

She remembers the way here.

The scorching heat of midsummer is somewhat reduced by the running water brought into the house and the lush trees.The rare coolness in the house is a precious dream that ordinary people can't realize.

Shu Yumo followed the blooming hibiscus in the courtyard and approached the hairpin building which is the closest to the main house.The first owner of the side house is Wan Qing's Jinshi, with a brilliant literary talent.Every distinctive building here has been given either quaint or westernized names by him.The Zanhua Building is a building modeled on a traditional boudoir. It is the residence of the unmarried daughter in the family. It is the place where grandma and mother lived before they got married.

Shu Yumo looked at the blooming roses in front of her and remained silent.She approached the front of the building, looked at the wooden door with a bronze lock, and told the servant who was watering the roses, "Go and call the housekeeper and bring the key."

The young male servant looked at the master carefully, "Miss, the eldest lady lives in the hairpin flower building, and she doesn't like other people entering her place, so it is locked when she is away."

Shu Yumo looked at the lock and asked slowly, "Liang Qiufeng?"

"Yes, yes...Miss, I'm sorry, I said I got used to it for a while, and the person who lives here is Miss Liang's cousin." The servant bowed repeatedly in fear, fearing to offend the young master, and took him to the knife.
