C7 Tetrandrine

Mrs. Hanzhi's family was strict. Although there were many maids and servants serving her in the house, none of them made a sound. No one at the table said a word. When Faang Xinsu's parents were around, the whole family chatted and laughed as they ate. Suddenly, they felt unwell as they encountered such a situation. Since they were living under someone else's roof, they had to follow the host and adapt to their surroundings.

After a moment of silence, Mrs. Zhou washed her hands and rinsed her mouth. "They must be tired after coming here," she said. "Let them go back to rest."

Mrs. Han brought everyone to see off the old lady, then instructed a few of the bastard children to send Faang Xinjian to the front yard. She turned to Faang Xinsu and said, "Sister Su, I have arranged for you the Drifting Jade Temple at the back of my courtyard. It is also very close to the courtyard of Sister Yan'er and the others. In the future, just treat this place as your own home. If you have anything to eat or play with, just tell me.

Faang Xinsu said, "Thank you for worrying, Aunt."

Mrs. Han smiled and patted her hand, "A family member, there's no need to be so courteous." He then turned to ask the maidservant beside him, "Have you cleaned up Cousin's box?" The maidservant replied, "It has already been prepared."

"Come, let's go over and take a look." After he finished speaking, he brought the few girls to the Jade Cauldron.

Along the way, Mrs. Han gave her a lot of pointers, "Over there is my Yuehua Courtyard and your uncle's; over here is your cousin's Yun Xuanxuan; on the west is your sister Xiang's Ming-Ming Pavilion; and on the east is your Tsui Temple. The row at the back was Sister Ying's Emerald Pavilion and Sister Lian's Jade Pavilion. In the west side of the path, there are a few concubines living in the courtyards. "

Overall, because there was only one large house in the Loyal Marquis Mansion, the courtyard was quite spacious.

While the ladies were eating, Qingliu had brought a few maidservants to help them pack their things. When she saw that Mrs. Han and Cousin had arrived, she hurriedly greeted them, "Greetings to the ladies and ladies. The rooms have already been cleaned.

Everyone walked into the house as they talked and laughed. Faang Xinsu saw that the room was spacious and the decorations were exquisite. It could be seen that the bed and dressing table were made of a complete set of yellow and rosewood. The other pieces of furniture were also of red and sour wood.

Then, he recalled that when he passed by the courtyard earlier, he saw a clump of green bamboo at the entrance of the courtyard. No wonder the courtyard was called "Dripping Green". There was another tall ginkgo tree and two plum trees in the courtyard. There were also a few pots of orchids and other flowers that she liked. It was obvious that the entire house had been arranged with great care.

Thus, he bowed to Mrs. Han in gratitude, "Aunt, thank you for your concern."

Mrs. Han pulled her up, "I was only saying a few words of advice, and everything was done by the maidservants. You have to thank me, just thank Qingliu. She went to the warehouse to pick these things up. " Faang Xinsu saw that her aunt was referring to the maidservant that had just pointed out to her. From her dressing, she could tell that she was someone that her aunt needed to use.

He immediately bowed and said, "Since that's the case, then I'll have to thank Sister Qingliu." Qingliu quickly refused, turned around and avoided the bow. Faang Xinsu asked her servant girl to give her another bag, and Qingliu thanked him again before putting it away.

Then Mrs. Han said to Faang Xinsu, "Qingliu has always been a steady girl, let her wait on you at your side. I see that you did not bring that many maids with you, and after that you will have them fill in a few rough maids with you. "

He then asked Qingliu, "Have you prepared the clothes and accessories for Cousin?"

Qingliu nodded, then pointed to the pieces of fabric on the brick bed and some brocade boxes, "I have prepared them according to Madam's instructions. Since I didn't know the size and preferences of the girls, I didn't act rashly. Now that the young lady has come, this servant shall bring the maidservants to take out a few sets of clothes as soon as possible. "

Madam Han nodded. "You've always been a sensible person. Now that you've served Cousin, you should do the same."

Qingliu bowed. "Please rest assured Madam, this servant will do my best to serve Master."

Madam Han nodded and said, "Alright, it's getting late. Elder Sister Su, you should rest early. There's no need for you to worry about Brother Jane's side." The other girls also followed suit. Shen Tian said, "Cousin, please rest quickly. The old lady usually enjoys peace and quiet, and does not like the juniors being disturbed. Therefore, every month, other than the first day, there are only five days that we have to pay respects. Tomorrow is the eighth day, so I will just rest in peace. "

Faang Xinsu thanked her cousin for her advice and personally walked to the entrance of the courtyard to see her aunt and her cousins off.

The young maid had long prepared the hot water and had Faang Xinsu's servant girl to help her wash up and take a bath.

Other than the maidservants, Faang Xinsu had also brought along a Senior Servant Zhang. She was said to be the son of the Fang family and had once served Faang Xinsu's grandmother. At this moment, Zhang mama and a few young maidservants were arranging Faang Xinsu's gifts.

Although Faang Xinsu was dressed carelessly and elegantly, Qingliu could see that the white jade hairpin made out of Chinese flowers was quite expensive, it should be the same as the bracelet in her hands. Warm and gentle, low key and elegant.

Thinking about the rumors that had spread across the entire Marquis Mansion, the Fang family had long since fallen into decline. Qingliu couldn't help but sneer in her heart: What a bunch of ignorant fools.

According to what she knew, although the Fang family had very few children, their ancestors had also given birth to a third rank official. They were a standard family of officials. Faang Xinsu's great-grandfathers and grandfathers had all served as oily local officials, and the descendants of the Fang family had not yet been divided, so the Fang family's property was rather plentiful. Her father had been one of her reading companions when he was young. After he had been released, all of his official positions had been filled with oil and water. However, the most important thing was that all the books and paintings in the Fine Arts School were mainly ancient books and calligraphy. There were very few extravagant and expensive decorations, so they were not obvious on the surface.

Most of the Fang family's property had already been delivered to their ancestral residence. The two siblings only brought some personal items with them. Even so, Faang Xinsu's luggage alone contained dozens of large boxes.

The room was originally a little empty, but after a while, it was filled to the brim. Faang Xinsu's books were not on the entire bookshelf, and there were also a few open boxes filled with books on the floor.
