Chapter 1646 Mrs. Guan is not satisfied
They don't want to use things that have been used by others!
Although Anzezhou is not that prosperous and lively, it is a big city after all, and there are still several furniture stores. You can just buy them ready-made.
Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan looked at the long list and handed it to Song Shi: "It's getting late. Arrange people to buy them separately. It's best if you can buy ready-made ones. If not, make them to order. Prepare them in the next few days."
Song Shi agreed and went to make the arrangements.
Fortunately, there were many people at the moment, so everyone went to buy separately a complete set of pots, pans, cooking utensils for the small kitchen, various foods, firewood, seasonings and dry goods such as oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, furniture such as beds, wardrobes, tables and chairs, and other various daily necessities.
Curtains, door curtains, chairs, draperies, etc. need to be customized. As long as you pay extra money, they can be made in a few days.
It's a good opportunity to go out for a walk, ask around, and get to know the customs and folkways of the people in Anzezhou.
As for the things in Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan’s main room and small kitchen utensils, Lixia and Liqiu knew what to buy, and Song Shi arranged the rest.
He also asked Qingyan to book a few tables of food at a nearby restaurant and have them delivered when the time came.
It’s already late today, so it’s definitely too late to make dinner.
...When Guanzhou Cheng left the East Courtyard, he still had a smile on his face, but when he entered the West Courtyard occupied by his family, the smile faded.
As soon as he entered the room, Mrs. Guan, who was eating melon seeds, clapped her hands and looked at him impatiently: "How is it? How is that family?"
Guanzhou Cheng thought of Shao Yunduan's tired and bored look, his restrained critical gaze and his involuntary disappointment, and sneered, "Not so good! I don't think he will stay long! None of those court officials can stay here for long, haha!"
"That's right," Mrs. Guan sneered sarcastically, "I heard that he is still a young champion. As a scholar, his head is full of nonsense and pedantic. He thinks about love affairs and beautiful women all day long. How can he endure hardships? In our place, people like him will not stay long!"
She became angry again as she spoke, "If you ask me, the master has been in this damn place for so many years. Even if he has no merit, he has worked hard. Besides, the master has also made some merits! If it weren't for the master, would this place have been stable for so many years? The position of prefect should have belonged to the master a long time ago!"
"I don't know what the imperial court is thinking. It's obvious that none of those prefects are reliable. They come and go like a revolving lantern, treating this place as a market. The imperial court is still sending people here one after another! Humph, I want to see when the imperial court will wake up!"
"Only then can we know that only the master is the most suitable to be the governor!"
Guanzhou Cheng felt a little aggrieved and upset after hearing this. The arrival of a new superior made him feel even more aggrieved.
He waved his hand: "Okay, there's no need to say more. The court has its own considerations for what it does! As for me, I'll just do my part."
Madam Guan sneered, "These governors who come and go like a revolving lantern are just decorations. The clay statues of Buddha in the temple are just breathing. All the big and small things are done by the master!"
Guanzhou Cheng frowned, becoming even more annoyed and upset. "Alright, stop talking nonsense! I'm just a Cheng, and the Zhizhou's affairs are originally my affairs. You can just say these things in the room, don't say them outside!"
