Chapter 278 New Home
To the new home.
It was already dark.
Jiang Miaomiao was unable to visit the house as she wished.
But I also heard Aunt Jiang Yue talk about the layout of the house.
The house is divided into four small courtyards.
Their family and their grandmother lived in the main courtyard, while their second aunt, third aunt and great-aunt each lived in a separate courtyard.
It was called a small courtyard, but Jiang Miaomiao had no idea how small it was.
When they arrived, my aunt had already had the food prepared.
Because the Lu family was going to live in this house, my aunt not only helped to buy the house, but also bought servants. Most of them were former loyal servants of the Lu family, and they were still serving their original masters.
All the people in A Niang's courtyard were brought from Jiangzhou.
My mother said that quality of manpower is more important than quantity.
After dinner, my aunt handed the house deed and the indenture to my mother, and my mother gave her a thick stack of banknotes.
Jiang Miaomiao felt that her mother must have compensated her with silver, as the banknotes were quite thick.
My aunt took it without hesitation without even looking at it.
But when she left, she stuffed two boxes into Miaomiao's pocket and said, "Miaomiao, this is a gift from your aunt."
"This is a greeting gift from Brother An."
Open it and take a look.
Wow! Auntie gave me a jewelry store in a prime location in East Market, and Brother An gave me a teahouse.
Silver shop!
What's the difference between this and giving money?
In the teahouse, you can listen to storytelling and eat various desserts and snacks. It is a great place to kill time.
At that time, she couldn't watch TV or movies, or attend concerts. The little girl's biggest hobby, besides eating, was listening to storytelling.
She couldn't understand the babbling of opera.
The children's games were somewhat boring to her.
After all, she is not a child at heart, she just has a childish heart.
Just like that, little Miaomiao transformed herself into the richest person in the family, a real rich lady.
The next morning.
Jiang Miaomiao got up early and walked around the house.
As a result, everyone got up earlier than her and everyone was very busy.
A'niang was busy running in and out. After settling down, she took Haitang to prepare items for each courtyard, striving to make the relatives who came back live comfortably.
My aunt takes care of the kitchen and vegetable garden.
My second brother was organizing the miscellaneous books he had collected from Jiangzhou and along the way in his study.
The eldest brother was the most excited. When he heard that his godfather's house was next door, he went to visit without caring whether anyone was there or not.
Then Jiang Miaomiao woke up and found that everyone was gone, leaving only Xier, Jiang Xiaobai, and of course Jiujiu.
The first thing to do, of course, is to visit the garden.
Xier, Xiaobai and Jiujiu followed.
It's not just a small piece of land as my aunt said, it's a very large piece of land, and there is a garden behind the house.
There is a pond in the garden with many koi fish in it and a group of big white geese swimming around in it. There is also a piece of land beside the pond where many small animals are raised.
Jiang Miaomiao counted and found that in addition to sheep, there were chickens, ducks, geese, rabbits, and various kinds of birds. It was like a zoo.
This feels a bit like their house in Jiangzhou.
My aunt is so thoughtful.
She actually likes it very much.
When I have nothing to do, I like to feed fish, sheep and small animals.
I also like to eat goose stewed in an iron pot and drag my brothers to have a barbecue in the backyard.
But unfortunately, her brothers can't stay with her for long.
My second brother has to go back to Jiangzhou to continue his studies with Mr. Cui, as the road to imperial examinations is long.
My eldest brother wants to join the army.
My mother also said that a good man should have ambitions and should not be confined to one corner.
They have their own path to follow.
As for little Jiang Miaomiao, her mother found a female teacher for her, Aunt Qianxue.
My aunt is a famous talented woman in Beijing.
It’s not that her mother wants her to become a talented woman, but the little girl is the most obedient in front of Mu Qianxue.
Jiang Miaomiao: ...
That's because her aunt is very likely to be the future Crown Princess or even the Queen, so she has to be more restrained.
After a long walk, I arrived at Mu Garden next door.
Jiang Miaomiao wanted to find her second brother.
Make good use of your time to spend more time with your brothers and get more hugs from them.
Maybe when we meet again next time, she will have grown into a graceful young lady.
She was a little reluctant to leave her brothers.
As soon as I arrived at the door of the study, I saw my second brother sorting out a pile of books and handing them to the servant, "This is the book Miaomiao wants to read. Remember to ask Madam to give it to Miss Mu San."
Jiang Miaomiao: ...
Forget it, I won’t hug you anymore.
She was just afraid that her second brother would be reluctant to leave her and wanted him to hug her more.
As a result, the second brother just wanted to turn her into a talented woman.
Let’s go find my aunt. My eldest brother should be back and waiting for dinner in the kitchen.
Before I even reached the kitchen door, my aunt called me to eat. She had a very loud voice and she was standing on the rooftop shouting.
Once he opens his mouth, his power is unleashed.
Jiang Miaomiao suspected that the neighbors next door could hear it.
It's a bit embarrassing.
Fortunately, the neighbor next door is my godfather, but he probably doesn’t live there.
My godfather lives in the Duke's Mansion and sometimes in the military camp.
However, she was wrong.
While we were eating, my eldest brother came back from next door, jumping up and down. As soon as he entered the room, he shouted, "Mother, my adoptive father has promised me that I can join the army to quell the rebellion, but the prerequisite is that you agree."
As he spoke, he lowered his voice and said, "I can see my grandfather and uncles."
Lu Qingyao was not surprised at all. "It's good to go. Take good care of your grandfather for your mother. You have to spend more time with your sister these days. She can't bear to leave you."
Jiang Miaomiao: ...
She was reluctant, but her mother must be even more reluctant.
I just can't tell my brother that mom can't bear to leave him, probably because I think it's too corny.
When Jiang Zifeng heard this, he wondered if his mother agreed.
When he was happy, he would pick up his sister and spin around.
He just hugged her and refused to let go. "Will Miaomiao miss her brother?"
"Yes, I will miss my eldest brother and my second brother."
Then, the eldest brother hugged the second brother.
Soon the food was served. It was very simple, just ordinary home-cooked dishes.
Because the vegetable seeds in the backyard vegetable garden were just sown. I just arrived and haven't had time to go to the market yet, so they are all food stocks.
Bacon, dried bamboo shoots, dried vegetables...
The eldest brother suddenly said, "Mother, I also invited godfather to dine with us. He eats alone and feels a little lonely."
Lu Qingyao: ...
She prepared gifts and sent invitations to the door, and planned to hold a thank-you banquet seven days later, inviting relatives and friends to her house to thank them for their long-term help.
But did the boss invite him over so quickly?
She looked at the food on the table: bacon stewed with bamboo shoots, a plate of side dishes, stewed goose with last night's leftovers, and a plate of pickles.
Is it too simple? Is it too late to add more dishes now?
"Sister, why don't I make some egg custard? It'll be quick." Xiuxiu said hurriedly.
Lu Qingyao nodded and said, "Go ahead. It's probably too late to stew the chicken and duck now."
"Mom, I caught two fish in the backyard when I came here just now. Let's cook the fish." Jiang Zifeng said as he carried a bucket of fish from outside the house.
I thought my aunt was so thoughtful that she even prepared so many ingredients for them in the backyard.
