Thinking about it this way, the whole family started to get busy, and Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Zheng also heard the movement and came to the front.
Seeing a few children walking around happily or sadly, she just didn't know what to do, so she stopped them with a smile and said: "You don't need to worry about these things, you have been busy for half a month, go to rest first."
As soon as Bai Erlang heard this, he ran away immediately, and Bai Shan also took Man Bao away, and Bai Dalang wanted to leave too, but he turned around and was stopped by Mrs. Liu, who said with a smile: "I read in the letter that this Once a family member also came to Beijing, it seems that the two families have already agreed on the date of marriage, where they live and how the guest house is arranged are up to you."
Bai Dalang responded with a blushing face.
While teaching him how to arrange it, Mrs. Liu laughed and said, "You are not too young, you should get married, why should you be ashamed?"
The age is up, but before he returned to Beijing, he planned to go back to get married during the Chinese New Year, which was suddenly ahead of schedule, and he felt a little nervous.
After all, it is the first time.
Mrs. Liu looked at him with a funny smile, and instructed him to arrange the guest courtyard for the married family, and by the way, worry about the layout of the courtyard next door.
At this moment, Mrs. Fang and Mrs. Lu really didn't know how to arrange it, so Mrs. Liu opened the storeroom, picked out a lot of things, and taught them what kind of curtains to hang on which windows, and what kind of curtains to hang at this time. what tent...
Fang's and Lu's didn't expect that there were so many details in it, and they listened anxiously. After tossing for a long time, they couldn't come up with their own ideas, but they could arrange it however Mrs. Liu asked them to.
Man Bao was very concerned about her parents' room, so she took a bath, washed up, changed her clothes, and came to look at it. It just so happened that Zhou Lijun also came back, the two of them walked around and took over.
Although Man Bao didn’t learn these things specially, but the layout of the house, it’s right to make it as comfortable as possible, so the curtains are light and bright, and the windows are hung with bamboo curtains, so that they can be pulled up during the day and put down at night …
Zhou Lijun went to decorate the rooms of her uncle and aunt. When she moved here, she had learned these things from Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Zheng. Although it was only rough, it was enough.
Fang Shi and Lu Shi followed behind them as helpers, Li Xue and Li Ru also rolled up their sleeves and scrubbed, and with the help of servants, they finally cleaned up the room before dark.
Fang breathed a sigh of relief: "Although the weather is hot now, it's better to prepare a thin quilt so as not to catch cold at night."
Lu nodded, "Today is late, let's prepare tomorrow."
But no one expected that the old Zhou Tou and the others would come into the city early the next morning.
The servants of the Bai family didn't see the person who picked them up at the gate of the city, so Master Bai simply took everyone to Chongyuan Square.
Master Bai only came to the capital when he was young, and he only vaguely remembered that Chongyuan Square was in the northeast of the capital.
Anyway, it must be in the inner city, so there is nothing wrong with going to the inner city first.
Master Bai asked all the way to Chongyuan Square, and then asked his servants to go forward to inquire.
Old Zhou Tou has rarely blinked his eyes since he entered the capital. He lay on the window and looked out. When he came to Chongyuanfang, he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
Zhou Dalang, who was sitting next to old Zhou's head, also stared intently, and said after a while, "Father, there are so many people in Beijing."
Old Zhou nodded, "There are a lot of things, I just walked all the way, and I haven't seen many things before."
The father and son sighed deeply, and the old Zhou Tou said with three points of pride: "Our family's Manbao has become more and more powerful, and he has become a fifth-rank official. Not only our village, but also our town, and even our county. portion."
Zhou Dalang looked around and said in a low voice: "Father, you have said this a hundred and eighty times. Mother said that this capital city is different from our village, so you are not allowed to say these things outside."
"Did I say this outside? I obviously told you." It would be uncomfortable to keep old Zhou Tou silent, but he was timid and afraid of people outside, even to Master Bai. At most, he would just click, his daughter is now an official, and his future son-in-law is still studying with the prince.
Of course, Master Bai also has a son who is studying with the prince, so Lao Zhou can always find common topics with Master Bai.
But while Master Bai was bragging, he couldn't help worrying that he wasn't like old Zhou Tou.
Old Zhou Tou was purely happy, thinking that the prince was the future emperor, but he didn't know that the prince might not be the emperor.
At that time, there will be more people involved.
So Mr. Bai was happy and worried at the same time, but Zhou's family of four came to Beijing happily all the way.
Old Zhou was staring at the high wall outside the car with piercing eyes. The servants sent by the Bai family came back, followed by a group of people.
"mother-"
Man Bao called from a long distance away, and the old Zhou in the car heard Man Bao's voice, and immediately poked his head out to look forward, just in time to see Man Bao and others running from a distance, and he immediately agreed happily With a voice, "Hey, Man Bao, dad is here!"
Qian Shi was a step behind, but she also smiled at the window and responded.
Man Bao who ran to the front of the car saw her father waved happily and said hello, and then went to the carriage behind her mother.
Old Zhou Tou: ...
However, the Lixue students behind immediately ran over and shouted, "Grandpa, are you tired from the journey?"
"Grandpa, look, this is our home."
When the carriage arrived at the side door, Lao Zhou was surprised when he was helped down. He raised his head to look at the high wall, and then turned his head to look at the wall that went down the alleyway with no end in sight. His fingers trembled a little. , "Here, this way..."
"They all belong to our family." Lixue supported his grandfather's arm and said with a smile, "Grandpa, it's even bigger inside. Come on, we'll show you inside."
Old Zhou Tou was helped by them to enter the door. Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Zheng waited inside the door with a group of people. When they saw Old Zhou Tou, they smiled and said hello, "My family has been tired all the way..."
Man Bao also supported Qian's hand and entered the door. Liu's eyes met Qian's, they both smiled, and then put their hands together, Xiao Qian and Zheng walked together after greeting.
A group of people blocked the door, and Qian asked Man Bao, "I heard your second brother read a letter, saying that your house is very big, and there are many spare yards?"
Man Bao nodded.
"Master Bai's in-laws are also here. This time they came with the idea of getting married. You are the host. Go and invite the bride in. Don't embarrass them."
Bai Shan at the side saluted old Zhou Tou and Qian Shi and said, "I'll go with you."
Of course, Chang Shi wouldn't come in person, he still had to work, so it was Cheng Dalang, Mrs. Cheng, and their mother, Mrs. Cheng, who came to marry Miss Cheng.
Bai Shan and Man Bao greeted them out, sent them to the guest house together with Master Bai Bai Dalang and others, and left after making arrangements.
