Chapter 34 Moving
Shen Shixu decided to move, and the place he moved to was the house that Jiang Bin had given him before. His small courtyard was indeed a bit far from the palace, and he had to get up half an hour earlier every morning.
This is really painful for Shen Shixu who wants to sleep in.
It was annoying enough to get up before dawn to attend the morning court. If he still couldn't wake up, Shen Shixu felt that he would go crazy sooner or later.
When he returned to the courtyard, Shen Shixu saw Shen Zexi telling Xiao Shitou and Jinbao something, and he heard it when he got closer.
"Well, almost everything in the courtyard has been moved over. I even wrote a letter asking my parents to arrange for someone to deliver some of the things Ah Xu and I often use.
It's just that the new house is a little too big. It's too spacious for just a few of us to live in. Jinbao and Xiaoshitou, tomorrow the two of you go find a human trafficker and buy some servants and maids.
For servants, look for those who are nimble and nimble. As for maids, remember not to look for those who are too good-looking. Just look for a few with ordinary looks.
Now that we have servants, we need to find a few cooks. We can’t eat out every day, and you two are not good at cooking.
We need to find some more bodyguards. I will go find them myself, some who can fight.
As the quality of life improves, safety issues must also be addressed. Although the capital city is very safe, we still need to make necessary preparations. ”
"elder brother!"
Shen Shixu's voice interrupted Shen Zexi's plan. Shen Zexi waited until he came back, waved him to sit next to him, and handed him the piece of paper on the table for him to read.
"You haven't seen the house that Jiang Bin gave you yet, right? I went to see it these days and drew a blueprint. You can take a look and pick a place. See where you want to live."
Shen Zexi said, but his hand pointed to one of the places on the drawing, “To be honest, I think this place is good, it faces the sun, and the yard is big, you can sleep in the main room, and the side room can be used as a study for you.
There are also several rooms where you can entertain friends and a small kitchen.
Moreover, this place is close to Fumen. You can just turn a corner and go out, which is also convenient for you to go out for work.
Behind the yard is a bamboo forest and a lotus pond. The scenery is also nice and you can enjoy it in your spare time. ”
Shen Shixu saw that he spoke so highly of this place, and it was obvious that he wanted him to live here. So he agreed directly, "Since you think it's good for me to live here, then I'll live here!"
Shen Zexi nodded, “Since you live here, I will live in the yard next to you.”
It's called the yard next to each other, but in fact the two yards are quite far apart. There's a bamboo forest and a lotus pond between the two yards. If you want to go from Shen Shixu's yard to Shen Zexi's yard, you need to take a long detour.
Shen Zexi wanted to make a new path in the middle, but if he made a new path, the scenery would become bad.
In order to have beautiful scenery to enjoy in the future, Shen Zexi thought that he would just take a detour and treat it as exercise.
Shen Shixu wanted to move, and his apprentices An Chengyu and Jiang Bin came to help and add some things.
An Chengyu was young and couldn't do much work, so he led people and directed them to do the work.
"Datong, move these boxes to the car carefully. These are Master's favorite books."
"Yes, Master!"
An extremely strong and tall man picked up several boxes in one breath and walked out steadily, shocking Jiang Bin so much that his mouth opened wide.
Those boxes were filled with books, and they were quite heavy. The boxes themselves weighed about two or three kilograms, and three boxes stacked together weighed seven or eight kilograms. Add on the books that filled the boxes, and those three boxes would weigh more than a hundred kilograms.
But the servant named Datong moved the things very easily, without blushing or breathing hard, as if he was just carrying a few pieces of clothing.
Jiang Bin put down the jade bottle he had wiped clean, approached An Chengyu and asked him, "Brother, this boy next to you is quite strong. He lifted such a heavy object in one go, and he walked steadily.
Where did you find it? I'm going to find one too. The person next to me is smart, but he's not as good at protecting people as the person next to you. ”
When An Chengyu heard him asking about Datong, he said with his hands on his hips proudly, "Datong is not an ordinary servant. He has been to the battlefield. He was an orphan who was abandoned in the woods and was picked up by my grandfather and brought back to the military camp. He grew up in the military camp. My grandfather said that he might have been frozen when he was picked up, so he was a little stupid.
But he was very strong, so his grandfather let him follow him as a soldier, and he also killed enemies on the battlefield.
Later, my grandfather was old and injured, so he could no longer go to the battlefield and had to return to the capital, and he returned with him.
Didn’t I almost go missing not long ago? My grandfather was worried about my safety, so he asked Datong to follow me to protect me.
So, Junior Brother, you won’t find anyone like Datong in the capital. ”
After listening to An Chengyu's story, Jiang Bin felt a little regretful but didn't take it to heart. "Well, since we can't find someone as powerful as Datong, forget it. Anyway, there won't be any special dangers in the capital, and the people around me are enough."
After the two brothers finished talking about this, they talked about other topics. An Chengyu asked Jiang Bin quietly, "Brother, Master is moving today. Do you have any gifts prepared?"
Jiang Bin followed his example and lowered his voice, "Of course I have prepared it. I have prepared a red coral ornament and will put it in Master's study. Brother, what about you?"
An Chengyu breathed a sigh of relief after learning what Jiang Bin had prepared. He had been worried that the two of them would prepare the same thing, but now it turned out that the things they prepared were completely unrelated.
“Hehe, after becoming my disciple, I learned that my master knew martial arts, so I prepared a short sword for him. It can be hidden in the wide sleeves at ordinary times, and can be taken out and used at critical moments.
Moreover, our Anguo Mansion only has weapons at most. Although we have other things, they are not the best. I feel that they are not worthy of Master. ”
Jiang Bin agreed that the Duke of Anguo's Mansion had many weapons. After all, it was a family of military commanders that had been passed down for generations and had collected many famous weapons. It was said that the collection was even more than that of General Lin, the Queen's maiden family.
Five years ago, General Lin made a bet with Duke Anguo. The bet was the Jingfeng Sword in Duke Anguo's hand. Speaking of the Jingfeng Sword, it seemed to be a short sword.
"Little Senior Brother, could the dagger you gave me be Jingfeng?"
When An Chengyu heard Jiang Bin say the name of the gift she had given, her eyes widened in shock, "How did you know?"
Jiang Bin didn't expect it to be Jingfeng. "Because the only famous dagger I know of is Jingfeng, and I don't know the others."
An Chengyu nodded. So that's how it was. At this moment, Shen Shixu came over and called them, "Let's go. The things have been transported over. Master will take you to dinner. Thank you for coming to help me move today."
