Chapter 313 Yucheng's career

Lu Qing withdrew and quickly brought in more than 20 people, including men and women, standing with their hands down, and they were trained at first glance. Chen Danxia asked with a smile: "What do you all do? I think you can be competent in that position, so let's talk about it yourself."

A servant who looked very clever and walked out the first one and saluted: "Little Peng Liang, please pay tribute to the third master and the third wife. Little one is consciously competent for the position of the gatekeeper."

"Okay, then from now on, Xu's house will be left to you for your care. I hope you can stay on duty, instead of changing someone else to serve in a few days." Chen Danxia agreed to his recommendation.

Then, Chen Danxia successively decided to take charge of the outer courtyard, summoned the servant, drove the carriage driver to feed the horses, the gardener who was the chef Ding, and the chef Sister Ding, who was good at making pasta and snacks, helped the chef, the chef maid, the embroidered lady, the chaotic maid and the little maid responsible for cleaning. The main housekeeper in the mansion was Zhang Ping, the Zhang Ping family was the inner housekeeper, and the Du An family was responsible for managing the purchase. The guard captain sent by the King of Yan acted as the chaotic maid, and the other guards became the chaotic maid. The four Chang brothers had just followed Xu Lang in and out. Sixiang and Simo's duties were just like in Lingxiyuan, but Guixiang was still serving Pang Lin for the time being. Chen Danxia also pointed to the two chaotic maids and two little maids over to assist Guixiang in serving Pang Lin together.

Although her purpose was to go to Jiuzi Mountain to hunt for treasure, after the treasure hunt was over, she had to stay in Yucheng for at least three years, and these servants were required. After the arrangement was made, Chen Danxia paid out of his own pocket and called a few tables from the restaurant next to him. The man was in the front hall of the outer courtyard, and the woman was in the inner hall of the second courtyard.

The news that Xu Lang and Shen Danxia lived in this house soon reached the ears of some people.

"What? The person surnamed Xu moved into the Huang family's house. It's not that the Huang family's house was sold to the owner of Yunlai Inn. How could he move in? Check it out, what does this person surnamed Xu have to do with the owner of Yunlai Inn?" Wu Zhong's face changed slightly, and he immediately ordered.

This is no secret. After only one day, I found out that "the head of Yunlai Inn's surname is Tao, and he is Renyi Bo's biological sister, his wife, and his legitimate daughter."

"It turns out that he married Bo Renyi's niece. No wonder he spent money like water." Wu Zhong murmured to himself. In his mind, Xu Lang became a man who was greedy for money. He had no idea that Xu Lang's ability to attract money was not inferior to Bo Renyi's.

Xu Lang and Shen Danxia lived in Yucheng because now the prefect of Yucheng, the commander-in-chief, and the commander-in-chief were all locked in prison. Although there were four assistant commanders, the other three were in vain, which made Xu Lang busy with official business, leaving early and returning late, and spending time and moonlight.

Xu Lang was busy, and Chen Danxia was not idle either. The officials and gentry wives came to visit each other in a group or alone. Although Chen Danxia did not like socializing, he knew that he could not be willful in this matter and was patient in dealing with them.

On this day, Chen Danxia was invited to Changxin Garden for a banquet. The famous local wealthy merchant Feng family was invited to the Feng family. The Feng family had business dealings with the Tao family. For Tao Kan's sake, Chen Danxia happily agreed.

The entrance to Changxin Garden is very narrow, but the scenery is extremely beautiful. There are mountains, water, strange stones, small bridges, flowers and trees. There is a pavilion in the garden, a pool of water in front of the pavilion, pine and cypress slanting beside the water, and weeping willows. The waves reflect the pavilions and bridges and pavilions, which are arranged in a staggered manner, with a spirit and charm.

"Good scenery in the garden." Chen Danxia laughed and praised.

Mrs. Feng smiled modestly and said, "The garden is simple, and the wife is willing to come here with a noble destiny. It is the honor of my Feng family."

"Mr. Feng is a match for my uncle and brother. If Aunt Feng doesn't dislike me, just follow my uncle to call me Jiuer." Chen Danxia said with a smile. Not only was Mrs. Feng older than her, but also, the Tao bought the house thanks to the Feng family, so Chen Danxia was willing to give Mrs. Feng a face.

"I dare not take it, I dare not take it." Mrs. Feng smiled so hard that she felt that she had helped her correctly.

"Mrs. Feng, is it Fengdao Yuelai Pavilion in front of me?" Yucheng Tongzhi's wife asked with a smile.

"Yes, the listening stage is on the edge of the Fengleixie. Sitting in the Xieli, roll up the curtains on all sides, you can watch the singing and dancing on the Shenglixiei. Therefore, today I will set the banquet in the Fengleixiei." Mrs. Feng replied.

Chen Danxia saw the sunlight reflected on the pond, and the water was shimmering, and said with a smile: "Aunt Feng is a elegant person."

Those who were invited to accompany the guests also praised each other. In response to Chen Danxia's words, Mrs. Feng smiled so hard that she couldn't stop and invited Chen Danxia to enter the Fengyue Laixie; Chen Danxia was the host and guest, and sat in the guest seat with her. Mrs. Feng and the wife of the same tutor also followed her into the seat, and the other wives also sat in the seat one by one, and the maid gave her tea and fruit spots.

Chen Danxia sat down in the position, the sound of silk and bamboo sounded, and Kabuki danced on the stage. Mrs. Tongzhi asked with a smile: "Mrs. Feng, who is the head dancer in Xiangqilou?"

"That's right." Mrs. Feng smiled faintly.

"Only the Feng family can have face. Please invite this courtesan who only sells skills but not works." A wife smiled.

While everyone was enjoying the dance and chatting, Mrs. Feng suddenly mentioned her little granddaughter. Chen Danxia immediately realized that this was the reason why Mrs. Feng treated her to a treat. She praised her third-rank lady for a few words, and the little girl looked gloomy.

"Aunt Feng, since my little niece is here, why not call her over and let me take a look. I only have five bad guys, and I like it when I look at the beautiful little girl." Chen Danxia smiled.

At this time, a wife in the guest said, "Mrs. Xu may be so arrogant to the other side. My sister Xing is here today, and I want to pay a visit to my wife."

As soon as she finished speaking, she attracted a lot of echoes. Seeing their enthusiasm, Chen Danxia could not refuse, so she could only say, "Come here, come here." Today I was about to bleed heavily, but fortunately, I prepared some exquisite and small silver flakes in advance.

Mrs. Feng asked her confidant maid to bring the children over. A quarter of an hour later, the maid brought a group of children over. The one who walked in front was Xia'er of the Feng family and Wei Zijin, the daughter of the co-education wife. The older one was only a year old, and the younger one was only four or five years old.

Xieli was covered with a carpet, and more than a dozen children were divided into two rows. Under Feng Xiaer and Wei Zijin, they knelt down and bowed and said, "I have met Mrs. Xu."

Chen Danxia smiled and said, "Get up."

When the children stood up, Mo Shi delivered the meeting gifts one by one. Chen Danxia left Feng Xiaer and Wei Zijin, and invited them to their side. He kindly asked them what their name was, how old they were, if they had read books or something.

"When it comes to my wife, my daughter's name is Xia'er. She is seven years old this year. My grandmother asked Xia'er to teach Xia'er how to read and read. Xia'er has been learning "Song Meng Pian Quotes" these days." Feng Xia'er said clearly and authentically.

"When it comes to my wife, my little girl's name is Zijin. She is eight years old this year and is studying with her sister Xia'er." Wei Zijin replied.

"We are all learning "Xun Meng Pian Jue", so I will draw a pair, can you meet?" Chen Danxia asked with a smile.

The two little girls looked at each other and said in unison: "Madam, please send out the first couplet."

Chen Dan thought for a while and said, "The night moon bird is busy calling."

"The orioles sang in the spring breeze." Feng Xia'er came out first.

"The pine is suffering from rain." Chen Danxia said again.

"The flowers are thin and are afraid of the cold." Wei Zijin said to him.

Chen Danxia exaggerated a few words to them, then took off the jade bracelet in his hand and gave one to each of them. Mrs. Feng achieved her goal and was very satisfied. At noon, the exquisite dishes were placed on the table.

By the afternoon, the guest and the host and the host parted happily. Chen Danxia didn't know that the youngest girl she had never paid attention to would become one of her daughter-in-law in the future.

After more than ten days of rectification, Xu Lang basically cleared up Yucheng's complicated connections. He came back early that day and saw Chen Danxia sitting in the corridor in the yard, holding an invitation in his hand, with a strange expression. Xu Lang frowned slightly, "What's wrong?"

"Mrs. Liu asked me to be the guest of honor for her eldest daughter. She said it once before, but I thought she was joking, but I didn't expect she was serious." Chen Danxia said frowningly.

"If you don't want to go, just refuse." Xu Lang sat down on the bamboo chair next to her.

"It's not that I don't want to go, but I didn't expect that I'm at the age of being a guest of honor at other people's weddings." Chen Danxia sighed.

"It has nothing to do with your age, it should be related to your imperial edict." Xu Lang picked up a few tea cups, took a big sip, frowned, and swallowed the tea with difficulty, "What kind of tea is this? Why is it so bitter?"

"Lotus and Bishop Tea." Chen Danxia smiled.

Xu Lang asked nervously, "Where are you feeling uncomfortable?" Lotus and barley tea can clear the heart fire, stop sweating, nourish the spirit, etc., but Shen Danxia has always been afraid of suffering. If it weren't for the health, he would never ask for trouble.

"It's just that I have a little insomnia these days. The doctor asked me to drink some lotus tea to calm my mind." Chen Danxia said with a smile.

"You have insomnia, why don't you tell me?" Xu Lang asked by putting down the teacup and holding her hand.

Chen Danxia laughed, "You are not a doctor, what do you tell you to do? Besides, insomnia is not a big deal. Drinking some lotus and barley tea will make you better."

"Jiu'er." Xu Lang tightened her tenderness with shame. He was busy with official duties these days and neglected her.

"You are busy with official duties, and you are not going to accompany other women. I won't blame you." Chen Danxia smiled sly, and his bright eyes fluttered, "Am I very understanding?"

Xu Lang raised her hand, lowered her head and kissed her, and said, "Yes, my Jiuer understands me the best."

Chen Danxia laughed and spat, pulled him into the room, and ordered the maid to bring the supper in. This was the first time the couple had had dinner together in the past ten days. Chen Danxia looked at the sweet and sour fish that was sour and tender on the outside, and said in a sweet and sour voice: "Husband, I want to eat fish."

Xu Lang immediately picked up fish and thorns. Perhaps with Xu Lang's company, Chen Danxia's appetite was wide open and he ate half a bowl of rice. After dinner, the two of them held hands and went out of the garden for a leisurely walk to digest food. Chen Danxia looked up at the night sky and said, "It's still good to see the summer night. Even if there is no moon, you can see a lot of stars."

Xu Lang also looked up at the sky and said, "The winter night is also beautiful, but you are afraid of the cold and don't want to come out, so you ignore it."

"Because I am a plain person, I can't appreciate the beauty of the high and low music." Chen Danxia said with a smile.

"I am also a vulgar person." Xu Lang lowered his head and smiled at Chen Danxia.

The couple walked in the mansion for about half an hour and were about to go back to the room to take a shower and rest when they suddenly heard a melodious sound of piano, like songs and words. Chen Danxia listened for a while and said in a deep voice: "Mingxiang, go and see who is playing the piano?"

Mingxiang took the order and left.

The couple went back to the room and took a bath separately; Chen Danxia came out of the bath room, and Mingxiang reported to her: "Madam, it's Miss Pang playing the piano."

Chen Danxia snorted and said, "I have only had a few days of full meals and have a different idea." She offered Pang Lin food and drink, and asked someone to serve her. She really had the idea of ​​Xu Lang and raised a ungrateful wolf. In this way, the previous precautions were still very necessary.

"Young Master Mu has gone without a trace. She is anxious, afraid of wasting her years." Mingxiang analyzed.

Chen Danxia pondered for a moment and said, "Let Guixiang tell her that I have found a caravan to Jiuzishan and asked her if she would like to go to Jiuzishan to find Young Master Mu?"

Mingxiang took the order again and left.

The next day, after sending Xu Lang out, Qingxiang came in with the pounded henna to dye Chen Danxia's nails. Pang Lin came, "Madam, who is that caravan? Can they guarantee the safety of the little girl? Will they have evil intentions towards the little girl on the road?"

"That caravan is doing business seriously. There are also shops in Yucheng. With my master here, they don't have the courage to measure them. Miss Pang just rest assured." Chen Danxia said lightly.

"Madam, even if the master can shock them, Yucheng is far away from Jiuzi Mountain, so they just make an accident as an excuse. Even if the master wants to investigate, he can't help but find out. The little woman thought about it all night and decided not to go to Jiuzi Mountain with the caravan. The little woman was willing to wait for the master and his wife to go to Jiuzi Mountain after he finished his work." Pang Lin said.

Chen Danxia's eyes flashed and he said, "Miss Pang, it was because of Mr. Mu's request that day that I will take you in for the time being and treat you as a guest. But Miss Pang, as a guest, you must be a guest. If you want to be a bad guest, my master will have to give you away."

"Madam, the little girl was just a momentary feeling last night, and she had no other intentions." Pang Lin said hurriedly.

Chen Danxia looked at the hand that had two fingers and said, "Miss Pang is better not to have any other intentions, otherwise, my master will be able to kick people. If Miss Pang is hurt, I really can't explain it to Young Master Mu. If Young Master Mu knows the reason for Ms. Pang is afraid he will no longer have that pity for Ms. Pang, please don't mislead yourself."

"The little woman is following the wife's advice." Pang Lin said in horror.

"Guixiang, send Miss Pang back to her room." Chen Danxia said loudly. Pang Lin was willing to stick to her own affairs, and she would not kill her.

Guixiang walked in with a voice, saluted Chen Danxia and asked her, and said to Pang Lin: "Miss Pang, please."

"Madam, the little girl leaves." Pang Lin was blessed and went out with Guixiang. Since then, she has become honest and no longer swears to Mrs. Hong to learn to make snacks, and no longer caresses any lovesick songs at night.

Six days later, Chen Danxia went to the Liu family in formal outfit to serve as the guest of honor for Miss Liu.

Note: I made a big mistake this afternoon. I turned off the computer and went home for dinner. The document prompted whether to save and modify it. I didn’t know what I thought, so I clicked No. Then half of my efforts in the afternoon were left. Ahhhh, am I brainless or broken? Why should I click No?
