Seeing that they were out of order, Mrs. Liu simply took over for them. Occasionally, when Zhou Lijun, Zhou Liru and Man Bao were free, she would take them by her side and teach them how to manage the house.
Sometimes Wu Lang couldn't help but stand aside and listen.
The aristocratic family's wisdom has been accumulated over hundreds of years, and they have their own rules. Mrs. Liu doesn't think they have to abide by them, but don't make mistakes in general.
At least when interacting with people, following certain rules can not only make others comfortable, but also make yourself comfortable.
Zhou Lijun was very interested in this kind of thing, unexpectedly he listened very seriously.
While choosing rooms and placing utensils according to Mrs. Liu's wishes, and listening to Mrs. Liu's talk about how to communicate with the neighbors in the workshop in the future, everyone slowly moved the things from Changqing Lane into the mansion.
Friday Lang and Saturday Lang also occupied a yard, and each chose a room to live in. However, they didn't go home often, and they mainly lived in the restaurant, so they chose a yard near the side entrance.
Zhou Lizhong chose to be in the same yard as them, and he even helped Zhou Liwei who was not in the capital to occupy a room.
Zhou Lixue and Zhou Ligu took Bai Shuping to occupy a yard behind them, while Bai Shan decided to live with Bai Dalang and Bai Erlang, mainly because they both fell in love with the yard near the garden, which was also close to the main courtyard.
Every courtyard has vacant rooms, so they didn't occupy the entire courtyard, and even left two courtyards empty.
Mrs. Liu sent a lot of people to Zhuangzili on the outskirts of Beijing and back to Longzhou, but there were not many servants left behind.
She originally wanted to buy some servants, but when she saw Man Bao and Bai Shan reading together, she thought of something, so she suppressed the idea.
She took the time to ask Man Bao, "Have you thought about the inscription on the plaque on the gate?"
Man Bao thought for a while and said, "Let's call it Zhou's house."
Mrs. Liu nodded with a smile, "Then you should ask someone to inscribe it, and I will ask someone to make a plaque and hang it up."
Man Bao went to find Mr. Zhuang.
Mr. Zhuang's handwriting was not bad, but he was not stingy, so he wrote two words directly for her, and Mrs. Liu asked someone to make a plaque.
Now that she had decided to live in with her, she naturally stopped coddling and simply opened the cage, took out the money and went out to buy a lot of things, and began to arrange the yard they had chosen to live in.
Screens, curtains, bed nets, lamps, candles, etc. needed in each house, as well as bamboo mats, couches, etc. needed in pavilions and some open rooms...
When Zhou Wulang and the others went in to see it, they didn't think there was anything missing in the mansion. There were tables, chairs, benches, beds and cabinets inside.
Some houses even have big screens, they just need to move some quilts and wooden basins inside, can't they
Who knew that once Mrs. Liu took over, they would know that there were so many things missing in this room
Zheng's housekeeper is always worry-free, and now she is also high-spirited. When Mrs. Liu is not in good spirits, she will go to the mansion to keep an eye on her.
After all the rooms that needed to be occupied were tidied up, and the missing things were filled one by one, when everyone went in to look again, their mouths opened wide.
Zhou Lijun reached out and touched the newly added orchid screen in her house, and sighed softly, "With so many things, the money spent can buy a house, right?"
Wu Wulang thought so too, especially when he saw that there was no candle on a lamp stand, and every lantern in the corridor was very delicate, not to mention the addition of some porcelain and decorations in each room.
Thinking that this is Man Bao's future mother-in-law, I feel a little guilty for no reason.
Man Bao didn't pay attention to these things. She felt that the mansion seemed to have changed after Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Zheng tidied it up, and it was very beautiful.
So she generously took out all the rewards she had received before, and asked Mrs. Liu to put them all in each house.
Mrs. Liu was not too polite, and asked people to take all the silk and satin fabrics to Man Bao's room, or put them in the side room next to her.
She smiled and said: "No one lives in the side room of the main house. It is usually for children. I have someone change it for you. You can put some of the rewards you get in it in the future, and you can put more clothes in it." Over there, I have someone make wardrobes and shelves for you."
As for those porcelain and decorations, she mostly put them on the multi-treasure shelf in the main room as a prestige.
Then he opened his own cage, took out some calligraphy and paintings to hang up, and the whole mansion was instantly different.
Bai Shan looked at it, and hung up the letter Mr. Jiang gave him, and hung it in the study.
Mrs. Zheng stared at the people who moved all the books from Changqing Lane and arranged them, and said quietly to her mother-in-law: "Mother, Man Bao is so powerful. When she gets married in the future, where can we buy such a big house to match her?" ?”
Seeing her worry, Mrs. Liu smiled and said: "Isn't it a good thing that your daughter-in-law is great? Don't worry, Shanbao is also great. They are still young and will definitely leave the capital to go to other places in the future. The capital here is just a place. Just a place to stay."
The reason why Mrs. Liu decided to allow Man Bao to live in was precisely because when she went to Changqing Lane to see her two children that day, she saw them gather together to look at the sketch map of Gaochang drawn by Mr. Yang. "I didn't know that Mr. Yang can speak so many languages. I heard that even the Korean language in Jian'an Prefecture can be spoken."
Man Bao asked him in a low voice, "Do you want to learn?"
"I'm looking for a doctor from the Guozi School. Dr. Liu can do it, but he doesn't like me, so I don't plan to look for him. I heard that Dr. Zhao from the Simen School will too. I plan to visit him sometime."
At that time, she stood not far away and watched the two teenagers chatting together, and knew that they still had a lot to learn and travel in the future.
This is just a place for them to stop.
Unless Bai Shan returns to the capital to serve as an official after he becomes an official in the future, it will be difficult for him to stay in one place for too long.
Looking at all the ministers in the DPRK, who has ups and downs, who has been sent to Beijing alternately, and who has been in one place for more than ten years
So you don't need to pay too much attention to where you live. She said: "In the future, Manbao will follow Shanbao. With Shanbao's ability, Manbao will not be wronged. What we have to do now is to guard the family tradition so that they will not be wronged. When you suddenly become rich, you lose your sense of proportion."
Just entering Daze Street, I would rather be low-key than high-key, lose my demeanor and mentality, and make people laugh.
In fact, not only the Zhou family, but she was also a little nervous.
Although the Bai family came from a noble family, even the direct branch rarely had contact with the wealthy families in the capital, let alone their side branches.
Mrs. Liu can only remind herself every day, as long as you follow the etiquette, it is always difficult at the beginning.
Mrs. Liu was worried, but the Zhou family, who were completely rural people, were not worried at all. They were not familiar with the city people here, so they didn't think so much.
It's just moving a house, and I will say hello to the neighbors when I turn around, what should they do or what should they do, why do they have so many fantasies
