Lord, don't be afraid, the princess is not angry

Chapter 13 House of Regulations
A group of people spent the whole afternoon buying two boxes of clothes.Generally, expensive materials in shops are not made into ready-made garments, anyway, when distinguished guests come to choose materials, those who can afford these materials have sewing ladies in their homes, and occasionally there will be people who like the new styles in the shop to customize.The two outfits chosen by Mrs. Sun were ordered by someone before, but that person’s family can’t pay for the clothes and don’t want the clothes. The shopkeeper can only sell them in the shop. Unexpectedly, I met a country lady who came to Beijing and bought it.

Jinhua and Yinhua also chose a few outfits, but Zhuhua couldn't choose a good one. She only had boys' clothes made of expensive materials and girls' clothes made of ordinary materials. Sun hesitated for a long time before deciding, or Cheng Dashan decided to buy a suit for each.

The Li family couple didn't want to buy expensive ones, so Cheng Dashan decided to buy them both expensive ones and cheap ones.After they had a meal outside for the clothes they had chosen, they went back to the inn.After a night's rest, they set out the next day wearing new clothes. After Sun's hesitation, Zhuhua chose girls' clothes.The carriage entered Chang'an City after traveling for half a day, and arrived at Cheng's Mansion after traveling for more than an hour.

Along the way, Jinhua and Yinhua raised the curtains of the car and looked outside curiously, but Zhuhua sat in the corner holding Xiaohua with no interest.She is still young, and she still has a lot of time to learn about the city, and it is so windy outside, she doesn't want to lie on the window and blow the cold wind.

When he arrived at Cheng's mansion, the housekeeper had already received the news and stood at the door. When he saw Mrs. Sun and Jinhua Yinhua who got off the carriage, he connected the names of the people he had mentioned with Cheng Dashan, just as Zhuhua who was leading the little flower dog. When it appeared, he was a little unsure who it was.The master said that when he left home, there was a child in his wife's belly, could it be this child, then why is the clothes on this child worse than others?
Sensing his gaze, Zhuhua also raised her head and looked at him curiously, anyway, she is just a child, it is not impolite to stare at a man, let alone this is an old man. The housekeeper Gao Jin, who is in his 40s, is fairly good-looking, with a little silver in his hair, a beard, and a smile on his face.He was originally a steward of Kang Wang's mother's family, which is now the Empress Dowager's natal Xun family. After the Xun family was framed and confiscated, these servants were sold. Because his mother was the empress dowager's nanny, Kang Wang bought him and placed him in In this house.

After Kang Wang sent the house away, he asked Gao Jin about his plans. Gao Jin thought that Kang Wang already had a confidant by his side, and he would not be able to please a foreigner. Besides, he is not young anymore. The simple-minded master stayed in the Cheng residence.In addition to him, Kang Wang also sent twenty servants, and later rewarded four beauties. The executives privately felt that Kang Wang valued Cheng Dashan.

After Cheng Dashan moved in, he didn't ask anything about the house, and Gao Yuan made the decisions.Except that Gao Yuan stopped Cheng Dashan when he was about to send away the beauty rewarded by Kang Wang, Gao Yuan also followed Cheng Dashan's wishes at other times.Having said that, Cheng Dashan himself is very good at serving, he is not picky in food and clothing, and he is not close to women, but sometimes he gets drunk.There was once a beauty who took the opportunity to get close to him while he was drunk, and finally found a chance to touch his room, but was hesitant due to the smell of his alcohol, and when she worked up the courage to step forward to take off her clothes, she was spit all over by him again, Then he was discovered by the boy who brought the hangover soup.

After Gao Yuan found out about this, as a housekeeper, of course he felt guilty for not being able to guard against that screwdriver, but for some reason, he still felt sorry for that beauty, pitiful and ridiculous.Afterwards, he pleaded guilty to Cheng Dashan, and asked how to deal with that beauty. After all, it was bestowed by the emperor, so it is not easy to deal with it too seriously.Cheng Dashan had no impression of this matter at all. He was still hungover when he heard the housekeeper talk about it, so he said that he was locked up and his wife came to deal with it.Seeing how lightly he dealt with it, Gao Jin also had a good impression of the new master, but he was a little worried about the mistress who was far away in the country, fearing that she would be mean.

Cheng Dashan also had a little intention of pleasing Sun Shi by doing this, and wanted her to see that even if she wasn't there, he didn't put any effort into it, and even if there were beauties rushing towards him, he didn't follow up.Not only did he refuse to pick them up, but he also left these beauties to her to handle. She could pinch them as she wanted, and he would never feel bad.

The day Sun and the others first arrived at Cheng's mansion, the senior executives didn't say anything about it.After Sun and the others had a short rest, he led them around Cheng's mansion for a while.From the very beginning, Zhuhua knew that King Kang gave Cheng Dashan a three-in house, but she had no idea how big the three-in house was.When she got off the carriage, she judged from the outside that the house was not small, and the front door was obviously refurbished, and the color on the pillars was still very new, which was brown rather than scarlet, which she preferred.

In order to welcome Mrs. Sun, the mansion made an exception and opened the door.I heard from the butler that the gates of the mansion are usually closed, even if Cheng Dashan enters and exits through the side gate.After entering the door, Zhuhua saw a shadow wall with a picture of galloping horses engraved in an inverted square space in the middle, which has the momentum that a general should have.There is a fairly square yard behind the screen wall, with corridors on both sides.Zhuhua took a visual inspection and found that the width of the yard was smaller than the width of the outer wall. There was probably a space between the two sides of the veranda, but the door was not seen from the front.In front of the courtyard is the hall, which is divided into front hall, back hall and side hall.The furniture inside was also new, Zhuhua touched it like everyone else did, and then secretly pushed it. She felt that the wood was quite heavy and had a faint fragrance, so it was probably quite valuable.

After looking at the hall, Zhuhua guessed that the backyard should be rather big. Sure enough, after passing through two doors, she first arrived at the main courtyard. There were three upper rooms and more than ten other rooms in it. Cheng Dashan will choose the style.

Sure enough, after he led people to look at it, he said to Sun: "I think there are only some stone and wood carvings in this room, which look dusty. We will paint it again after the New Year. I heard from Qin San that there are some stone and wood carvings on the street. When a house was renovated, the pillars were painted gold, and the sun would still shine. I think that’s good.”

What kind of aesthetics is this, Zhuhua frowned and thought, just as she didn't know how to persuade her, Sun gave him a blank look.

"Whatever to paint, if you have any money, just spend it. This yard is new and there is no need to renovate it at all."

Even if it was for the purpose of saving money, Zhuhua was relieved that the courtyard escaped unharmed.

Along the corridor through the mountain to the east chamber, there are also three upper rooms inside, which are more exquisite than the main room, with bamboo planted inside, which is green even in winter.They walked around and went to the West Wing. On the way, they saw a small garden with a small pond, which was quite elegant.However, the garden is now bare and there is no scenery, and the winter in the north still lacks a little greenery.The west wing is built on the edge of the garden. There are many plum blossoms planted in the courtyard, with only a few small buds scattered among the branches.

After the senior manager led everyone out of the west wing, they walked through the garden and then went inside, and passed two more doors to a courtyard.

"This is a back room. Some people's ladies live in the back room, and some people's back room has servants or concubines and concubines." The senior official said.

Compared with the front, the courtyard of the back cover room is a little rough, but compared with my hometown, this place is good enough.Zhuhua was content to choose a secluded one, so she couldn't help but look towards the westernmost one.

Sensing her gaze, Gao Gao pretended to point to the westernmost room casually, and said, "Except for that one. There are four beauties bestowed by the emperor living there."

Taking a careful look at Sun's face, seeing that she was not angry, she just gave Cheng Dashan a squinting look.

Cheng Dashan quickly explained: "This is already the most remote courtyard in the mansion."

Mrs. Sun didn't answer his words, looked down at the three daughters, and said, "How about the three of you living in the West Wing? Or do you prefer the East Wing?"

"The west chamber is good, there are flowers." Yinhua replied quickly.

Zhuhua and Jinhua also nodded.

After visiting the yard, it was getting dark, and the group went to the side hall for dinner again.As soon as the meal was finished, the servants said that the four beauties wanted to visit the mistress.

"See what you see, let them stay in peace and don't come out to meet people." Cheng Dashan waved impatiently.

The senior executives looked at Mrs. Sun hesitantly. He had already seen that Mrs. Sun of the Cheng family would be the real master in the future.

Mrs. Sun originally wanted to see what these beauties looked like, but after walking around, she saw that Cheng Dashan really had no interest, and his mind was also weak. After walking for a day, he was tired of people, so he said: "See you tomorrow, don't let me go if you have nothing to do." They're out of the yard."

After she finished speaking, she looked at the senior executive again, "Is there a sewing lady in the house? Miss San doesn't have any new clothes that fit, so our winter clothes have to be made."

The senior executive frowned in embarrassment, and said: "The servants in the mansion are not complete, and there is no serious needlework lady. The master's clothes are also made by the servants of rough envoys, because there is no need for embroidery on them. I don't think so. If it's the clothes of the madam and the young lady, I'm afraid they won't be able to show their craftsmanship. Otherwise, tomorrow I'll ask Ren Yazi to bring some people over for the lady to pick and choose. This mansion should have entered the mansion a long time ago, ladies and gentlemen. At least one or two big maids and three or four small maids must be matched, and we must consult the foster mother."

Seeing Mrs. Sun's tired face, the senior executive stopped the words and said, "It's the end of the year now, and these are all things for next year. There is no rush, but the matter of adding a maid needs to be hurry up. After the newcomers enter the mansion, they have to It can only be used after teaching, and the New Year is the busiest time, so we have to let them get started quickly."

"Okay, pick tomorrow." Mrs. Sun said, looking at Uncle Li and Aunt Li who also looked tired, "Cousin and cousin, you should live in the East Wing. Have a good rest tomorrow, and we will go shopping on the street the day after tomorrow. visit."

"Okay, we will listen to you." Aunt Li replied.

After chatting for a few more words, everyone went back to the hospital to rest.
