Chapter 50 Moving to Yujing Lane
The next day, morning.
Su Yuan plans to move into the new house.
Tomorrow is the start date of Tiande Academy, and she needs to arrange everything today.
The two's luggage had been packed by the servants of the Meng Mansion and placed on the carriage.
Su Yuan held Nan Chu's hand and stood at the gate of Meng's house. He glanced at Meng Yunqiao and raised his eyebrows slightly.
"We're meeting again tomorrow, so don't send me off."
Meng Yunqiao shook his head, sighed, and said helplessly:
"I won't send you off because I have two things to say."
"Alas! My mother and father are too ill to see guests, so you have been staying in the mansion for several days and have not shown up. Please forgive me, sister."
Su Yuan pursed his lips and nodded:
"It's okay. I know everything."
After saying that, she waved to Meng Yunqiao and took Nan Chu into the carriage.
The driver rode away and slowly headed towards Yujing Lane.
As the distance was not far, the four servants who had just been bought yesterday followed the carriage at a quick pace.
About a cup of tea later.
The carriage stopped steadily in front of the Su residence.
The servant unloaded the luggage and carried the bag to the main room. When the coachman saw that the things were gone, he said goodbye to Su Yuan and drove back to the Meng Mansion.
Main room.
Su Yuan and Nan Chu sat at the top, with four servants standing below.
After Su Yuan glanced at them, he pointed his finger at them casually and said nonchalantly:
"From left to right, the two younger ones are called Chunyun and Qiuyu. They will serve the master from now on. The older ones are called Xiaoshi and Dashan. You will be responsible for sweeping and doing rough work."
"Did you understand everything I said?"
The four attendants bowed their heads and replied respectfully:
"Yes, Patriarch."
Su Yuan closed his eyes, waved his hand, and said calmly:
"Well, two people in one room, go back and clean up."
"Yes." After receiving the order, the four of them lowered their heads slightly and walked out of the house lightly.
After everyone left.
Su Yuan curled his lips slightly, glanced at Nan Chu calmly, and said in a leisurely tone:
"Nan Chu, from now on, you will be in charge of these four servants in the family, including their food, clothing, and expenses, as well as the expenses of the Su Mansion. You will be responsible for everything."
"As for the specifications, if you don't understand, you can ask Meng Yunlan. We are just starting out, so it's good to practice first."
After hearing this, Nan Chu glanced at Su Yuan in surprise, nodded seriously and said:
"Well, I will study hard."
He won't let his wife down.
I'll go talk to Brother Meng tomorrow, hehe!
Su Yuan hummed, raised an eyebrow and asked:
"How about we go pack our bags too?"
Nan Chu blinked, smiled and nodded:
"good."
The first day in the new home.
Nan Chu began to take care of all the affairs of the house from the afternoon, from directing the servants to clean the yard to taking servants to the market to buy carriages and sundries.
Of course, all of this was done with Su Yuan's company.
After all, it was Nan Chu's first time doing housework, so she could stand by and give instructions and demonstrations, which would be a good start.
The night is warm and the dark sky is dotted with stars, adding a bit of vitality to the quiet night.
In the bedroom.
The candlelight flickered, and Nan Chu was busy preparing clothes for Su Yuan to take to the academy tomorrow.
There was a pile of clothes on one side of the bed.
Nan Chu folded it neatly and said to Su Yuan who was reclining on the bed:
"My dear wife, today I have given you two more brocade robes. In addition to your original cotton robe, I have prepared five sets of outer and inner robes."
"If your clothes are dirty, bring them back to Xiaoshi and the others to wash on your day off. I've also prepared hairpins, toiletries, bedding, shoes and socks for you."
Su Yuan's lips curved up, staring at her busy husband, and said lazily:
"Tiande Academy is different from the private school in Qinghe Town. We study for five days and rest for one day. Are you planning to make me change my clothes every day?"
Nan Chu turned his head, his eyes full of surprise, and asked with a raised corner of his mouth:
"My dear wife, is that true? Then you can have six days off every month?"
Su Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly and said with a smile:
"right."
After answering, she went to the table, picked up a few books, and handed a small wooden box to Nan Chu, saying softly:
"Don't rush to pack your clothes yet, look at what this is?"
Nan Chu took it curiously and opened the books first. After reading the contents, he was surprised:
"So it's a calligraphy copybook! My dear wife, are you giving this to me?"
It's a pity that he didn't recognize all the characters.
I just learned a few hundred words from Su's father.
Su Yuan raised his eyebrows and said with a faint smile:
"It's for you. From now on, I will teach you every weekend when I have free time. When I'm not around on weekdays, you can copy the calligraphy and practice your calligraphy well."
It's not unnecessary for her to do so.
First, because Nan Chu had to be the housekeeper, and since Su's father was not around, there was no one to teach him. Second, she had been in contact with Nan Chu all day for the past few days and discovered a problem.
During the few days he stayed at the Meng Mansion, Nan Chu's performance was particularly obvious. He was not used to the rich life and had an inferiority complex inside.
This is especially obvious when he is with Meng Yunlan.
She has mountains of gold, silver and treasures, but her husband lowers his head and envies others.
She would make up for whatever was missing. She was in charge of the inner house and had power in her hands. She gave money to appease the anxiety in people's hearts and used reading to fill their inner world.
She is happy to do these little things that can be done easily.
What's more, her goal is not just Tongcheng. She will come into contact with more complicated people in the future, so it is better for Nan Chu not to fall behind.
So many thoughts flashed through Su Yuan's mind in just a moment. When Su Yuan came to her senses, she heard her husband thanking her.
Aside.
Nan Chu held the calligraphy and grinned:
"Thank you, my wife. I'm so happy."
His wife taught him personally, hehe!
When Su Yuan saw Nan Chu’s smile, he suddenly became lively.
He raised his eyebrows slightly and thought to himself.
So happy?
It seems that I have never experienced her devastation!
Su Yuan smiled and shook his head, winked at him and reminded him:
"Why don't you open the little wooden box?"
Nan Chu heard this, raised his lips slightly, nodded and said:
"Okay, I'll open it right away."
After saying that, he fastened the ring and gently opened the wooden cover.
When Nan Chu saw what was inside, he was shocked.
Pearl hairpins, hairpins and earrings, a box full of men's jewelry from the Treasure Pavilion.
He looked at Su Yuan in surprise and asked doubtfully:
"My dear wife, are these all for me? When did you buy them? Aren't they all by my side today?"
Su Yuan raised his eyebrows and said nonchalantly:
"When I bought the house yesterday, I only gave you a dozen small items. You should remember to bring them with you every day. You dress so plainly all day long. If you don't know, you might think I'm treating you harshly."
Nan Chu pursed his lips after hearing this, tears welling up in his eyes. He was afraid that Su Yuan would see it, so he quickly lowered his head and whispered:
"Okay, I see. Thank you, my wife."
Hmm.
Why is his wife so nice to him?
So touching, I want to cry!
Su Yuan glanced at him, then lay back on the bed, sighed and said:
"Pack your things and fold the clothes quickly. I'm sleepy. I'll lie down and take a nap first."
After saying that, he closed his eyes and began to doze off.
Nan Chu saw his wife lying down, and quickly wiped his tears with his sleeves, pretending to be calm and said:
"Yeah, I'll get it ready right away."
About a cup of tea passed.
Nan Chu gathered the things Su Yuan was going to take tomorrow, blew out the candles, and climbed into bed to sleep.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he lay down, an arm was put around his waist.
Nan Chu approached Su Yuan and whispered tentatively:
"My wife, are you not asleep?"
Su Yuan heard this, patted him on the back and said calmly:
"Go to bed quickly."
Nan Chu then shut up and leaned obediently in his wife's arms and closed his eyes.
As the night wind outside the house rustled through the treetops, the two of them slowly fell into a deep sleep.
