Chapter 10 Living in a small building is not a choice

As soon as Wu Xinxin returned home, she looked around and found out about it. However, she didn't care. She didn't like the family, but she just wanted to make some money at home and go to have fun in her home. Therefore, although she noticed that her grandmother's dislike and her younger siblings' rejection, she was not sad, but instead breathed a sigh of relief.

"You don't like me, and I don't like you either. It's best for everyone to dismiss each other like this!"

Wu Xin'an kowtowed to the old lady in this house, and kowtowed again to Wu Hongwen and Xiao Cheng. Then the younger brothers and sisters came up to greet him. This was the formal greeting.

Wu Hongwen called several well-known servants in the family, one was his old servant Wu Cheng, and Wu Cheng's second son Wu Zhong. Now he is in charge of the mansion. Xu's mother, who is close to Xiao Cheng, all came to kowtow and said,

"Miss Da'an!"

Wu Xinan sat under Wu Hongwen and received a gift from the people. Xiao Cheng, who was standing beside him, smiled and took out a few purses.

"Miss has just returned home and is not well prepared. The meeting gift is my mother!"

Turning back, the girl Suxiang around her went over to admire the three of them. The three of them thanked her, and the mother came up to greet the old lady, the master, the lady and the young masters and ladies. Only after such a good deal of trouble could the whole ceremony be considered as giving all the gifts.

Seeing that the etiquette that should be left was almost the same, Wu Hongwen smiled and said to Shishi.

"Mom, An An is back. Our family is finally reunited. Let's cook more dishes on the stove today!"

Although Fu was dissatisfied, he still had to look at his son. He nodded and responded.

"Well, of course we should celebrate!"

After saying that, he turned to look at Xiao Cheng. Before she could speak, Xiao Cheng smiled,

"Mother-in-law doesn't have to worry. My daughter-in-law ordered the mother-in-law on the stove to prepare a table of wine and food to congratulate our family on the reunion!"

Fu nodded with satisfaction after hearing this.

"You have always been a virtuous person!"

Xiao Cheng smiled and came over to Lawu Xinan's handwriting again,

"It's been a hard time all the way back. Go back to the room and wash up first, and you can come out to have a meal. Come with me and take you to see your yard for your mother!"

This room asked Wu Xinan to salute everyone, sue everyone, and then led her to the inner courtyard.

The Wu family's house looks inconspicuous outside, but it is very wide inside. It will never be just a regulation of the third entry of the seventh rank official. This matter was a serious crime of beheading in the early years of Daqing. However, now, it is in the wealthy Jiangnan. Many families have built houses behind their backs and built magnificently. As long as the storefront is not revealed, others have no intention of asking for trouble!

Wu Hong'an has been in Hangzhou for many years and has been following the customs. In theory, there are only three rooms in the front and back halls, one room on the left and right, and one room on the left and right, which is the rule. But Xiao Cheng led Wu Xin'an all the way in, through the hall, turning left and right, as if he had entered five times before he reached the last yard, pointing to the plaque on the moon gate,

"Chunhuiyuan... This is An'an's residence, and the words on it were written by your father..."

Xiao Cheng saw Wu Xinan looking at the plaque with a blank look on his head, and suddenly said,

"An An is illiterate..."

Before Wu Xinan could respond, he hurriedly comforted him.

"It doesn't matter if you can't read. My daughter's needlework and cooking skills are the most important. You can learn it slowly in the future!"

When Guan’s mother heard this, she curled her lips secretly.

"Although our family is not a high-ranking family, we are not the daughter of that small family. Although we dare not say that we are proficient in calligraphy and painting articles, we still have to know this word. It doesn't matter what we say to the eldest lady. Why did I hear Wu Cheng say that the second lady and the third lady both hired a teacher to teach and read!"

Wu Xinan didn't know what Guan's mother was thinking, so she stood outside the yard and looked at it. The white walls and black tiles seemed to be a small building with its corners exposed from the corners. She looked at it and asked after thinking about it.

"Where does my mother live?"

Xiao Cheng smiled and pointed eastward.

"That Qiulu Courtyard is my residence!"

"Where did grandmother live?"

"She likes quietness, so she lives in Dongyun Courtyard at the last end... Your two sisters live in Xiaxu Courtyard, and two younger brothers live in Sansitang, Qiantou, your third sister is still young, and now I am personally brought by my mother..."

As he said that, he went over and opened the door.

"When the master in front set out to pick you up, I told the servants at home to clean up. Take a look...but is it still suitable for my wish?"

Wu Xinan followed him in and saw that the yard was simple. It was a small building with two floors on the upper and lower floors, one floor was the main hall, and there were study rooms and clean rooms on the left and right. The upper one was the bedroom, and the left and right were the residences of the girls. The lower one was very small. It was only about thirty steps from the corridor to the base of the wall. Only two crabapples were planted in the corner of the wall. The rest were paved with square bricks, so there was no extra thing.

The layout of this building is also very simple. There are all the tables and chairs of poplar wood, some calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall, a stepping bed in the bedroom upstairs, a pink gauze curtain hanging on the bed, a dressing table with bronze mirrors embedded in it, and a Arhat couch by the window, and there is no other one.

Xiao Cheng apologized to Wu Xinan,

"In recent years, the family has been relying on your father's salary. I spent a lot of money to buy this house before, and I have to provide food, clothing and chew for my family every month. I am not well-off, so I have not changed my family. I am all left by the previous owner. But I have already found someone to paint the new paint... I think An An wouldn't dislike him?"

Wu Xinan didn't care at all, nodded and said,

"Don't dislike it! Don't dislike it!"

Wu Xin knew that although she was a young lady, she had not returned home for ten years and was not happy when she came back. She would definitely not be able to offer herself as her ancestors. It would be nice to have this. No matter how bad she is, she would not be as bad as her own little wood!

Tsk! This is better for the official lady, even if the stepmother doesn’t like it, but she has to take care of her face. It’s not as straightforward as a poor family beats and scolds her. It’s better to have a small building to live in!

Xiao Cheng smiled when he heard this.

"It's good if An An doesn't dislike it!"

After seeing the house, he called two more girls to come in and greet her.

"One of these two girls is named Zhiniao and the other is Du Juan. I have carefully trained them. Now they are all sent to you to command you. How can An An enjoy the eyes?"

Wu Xinan looked at the two girls carefully. Both of them were in their teens and looked honest and honest. She had no choice but to pick them up now, so she nodded openly and said,

"That is arranged by my mother, it is of course good!"

Xiao Cheng called a rough woman outside to come in again and told the three of them in front of Wu Xin'an.

"You will be the one who will be the one who will be in charge of the young lady in the future. Don't be careless or perfunctory or slack. If you dare to offend me, you will not let me go!"

All three of them claimed to be

"I will never dare to disobey my wife's order!"

After Xiao Cheng gave the order, he said to Wu Xin with peace.

"First let the old lady burn hot water to bathe An An, and then we will go back and have dinner for the whole family!"

Wu Xinan nodded,

"Yes, mother!"

Xiao Cheng gave a few more words, then turned around and left, leaving Wu Xin'an, Guan's mother, Du Juan, Zhiniao, and the three of them came up to kowtow to her.

Wu Xin'an has never been a lady from the official family. She didn't know how to discipline her servants. She sat on her head and responded.

"You...you all get up!"

The three of them stood up as they said, and Wu Xin'an looked at the three of them carefully. Du Juan and Zhiniao were about the same age as him. Du Juan had a softer eyebrows and eyes. At first glance, he had a good temper, but Zhiniao had a pretty facial features. The rough woman named Liu, who had been cleaning the yard. Now Wu Xin'an came back and moved to the eldest lady to do work. She was also a rough hand and stupid mouth.

For a moment, the master and servants looked at me, and I looked at you, staring at you, staring at each other with big eyes, and seeing the scene getting a little cold, Guan Mama beside her hurriedly came out to rescue her,

"Don't you say you want to wash your body? Mom Liu, go and boil water!"

The rough woman responded and turned around and went out quickly. Guan's mother instructed two more girls.

"The clothes the young lady wears on a daily basis are still in the bag. You can go and organize them first!"

The two girls quickly responded and went upstairs to sort out their bags. Guan's mother left when she saw everyone, and then she said to Wu Xin.

"The young lady has been in the village for a long time. She has always been the only old slave in front of her. She doesn't know how to train her servants on weekdays. This is no wonder you. Now that I'm back here, I have to learn how to be the master!"

Wu Xinan used to be an authentic country girl. She served others for the rest of her life. Only in the past few months did Wu Xinan take care of her mother for washing clothes and cooking. An Anxin was a carefree child for a while. How could she be a young lady? He asked,

"How do you want to be a master according to your mother's wishes?"

Guan's mother thought for a while and said,

"There is no point in mind. I just remember that there is a difference between superiors and inferiors. Those who are masters should not be too close to them or too distant from them. The rewards and punishments should be clearly distinguished!"

Wu Xinan nodded, kept saying that he was taught, and said in his heart,

"After all, those two girls are sent by Xiao Cheng's family. I can't get too close to them. I still have to avoid them in some things..."

Now she is the most trustworthy about her mother, and others... even if she is her own father, she doesn't believe it!

I secretly remembered this matter in my heart. My mother, a rough woman from outside, came in to report it.

"Miss, the water is ready!"

So Guan's mother went out to help, carried the big wooden barrel to the clean room beside her. The girls took the clothes they had changed, and then came in to serve Wu Xin'an to wash the bath. The master and servant also met again and were so honest. Du Juan and Zhiniao were not in trouble, but Wu Xin'an felt extremely awkward and waved his hands to chase the two of them.
