The spring is bright and beautiful, and the west chamber is like a sea of flowers, which makes Yufu unable to walk.
After passing the courtyard of the upper house of the Hou Mansion, along a cobbled path, one can see a meandering water-milled low wall.
The white stone steps at the bottom are smooth and small, but there are only four or five floors. When you go up, you can see the arched door with hanging flowers. There is no sign or plaque on the door, which shows a bit of wildness.
Two colorful butterflies flying up and down flew out, as if they were welcoming the owner of the west chamber, Yu Fu smiled and clapped his hands.
"It's good here. There are many flowers in our Immortal Valley. Butterflies like to peck my fingers the most!"
As she said that, she stretched out her hand and nimbly pinched an orchid finger, and the pair of fluttering butterflies landed on her finger.
Gu Huaijiang raised his eyebrows in surprise, but Yu Fu opened his lips and blew lightly, blowing away the pair of butterflies.
She bounced and walked towards the courtyard.
I saw thin spring water flowing under my feet, and a small short bridge above, with exquisite handrails on both sides, and a few Ruyi lamps with bright tiles standing on it.
Further inside, several peach trees are competing for beauty, and a broad-leaved plantain stretches green.
Walking along the winding corridors to the inside of the house, hearing the sound of water flowing behind the house, Yu Fu walked towards the back curiously.
She lay on the back of the wooden chair in the porch and looked out, only to see clear springs gushing out from the spring under the two peach blossoms.
This is indeed an excellent yard, just right for my daughter's family to live in.
Seeing her expression, Gu Huaijiang knew that she liked this place, so he didn't ask any more questions, and ordered a few servants to take care of the sweeping in the yard.
Another young woman came in from outside the house, walked up to her, bowed her head, and bowed her body.
"Slave Qi Ting, I have seen Lord Hou."
As he spoke, he slowly raised his head, looked at the little Yufu in front of him, and was looking at her with a pair of bright eyes smiling.
"I met Miss Yufu."
Yu Fu looked over and saw that she had a long face, she looked gentle and dignified, very respectful.
Gu Huaijiang was also quite satisfied.
"Yufu will be taken care of by you. From now on, you will be the big maid in the west chamber. Housekeeper Qi, and then send someone to choose a reliable maid to serve you. Yufu can't be alone by his side."
"Yes, the old slave will do it now."
Qi An bowed and saluted, before leaving, he glanced at Qi Ting.
The latter nodded slightly at him, and he left in peace.
"I'll go back to take care of some housework first. If there is anything you want to eat, just order Qi Ting to come to the upper room to find me, understand?"
Gu Huaijiang was not in the mansion for a long time, and there were still many trivial matters to deal with, so he left first.
Yu Fu stood on the corridor watching him with a smile, while Qi Ting was very excited, looking at Yu Fu seemed to see hope.
She was already fifteen years old, and she was born in a family. She grew up in the Hou Mansion since she was a child.
With her status, the best destination is to be able to serve the young master in the mansion, and to be a housekeeper in the future.
With Qi An's influence in the mansion, she can even be an aunt, even...
It's a pity that after his wife's death, Gu Huaijiang dismissed the maids in the mansion, and only a few of them were spared from having children.
But they are not allowed to come up to serve the princes, and they are all taken care of by servants and male servants.
Now that she has Yufu, Qi Ting can finally come up to serve her. She dare not be careless and serves Yufu cautiously.
"Miss, this servant heard that Miss likes to eat crab cakes, so she ordered the kitchen to bring some up. Miss, have a taste?"
Yu Fu sat on the porch looking at the scenery of the West Wing, Qi Ting moved a small log table and put a plate of crab cakes on it.
As soon as he heard the three words Crab Chowder, Yu Fu's eyes lit up and he looked down.
"The sixth brother bullied me just now and refused to give me food. I haven't eaten crab cakes yet!"
Yu Fu happily took a piece and put it into his mouth, his little face puffed up in satisfaction, and the movement of chewing lightly was also very cute.
Qi Ting quietly looked at her appearance, secretly guessing in her heart.
I'm afraid that Hou Ye's outhouse is raised at the border, and the living provision is not very good, so Yufu's behavior is also different from that of the big ladies in the imperial capital.
The lady who was raised by Jingui and pampered since she was a child would not directly hold dim sum with her hands.
I heard that she is already twelve years old, and she doesn't look well developed, like a ten-year-old child.
But it doesn't matter, she has already been brought back to the Hou Mansion by Lord Hou, and she has been a justifiable daughter of the Hou Mansion since then...
Just as Qi Ting was thinking, Yu Fu had finished eating two pieces of crab cakes with relish, and suddenly clapped her hands.
"Miss, don't you eat?"
Qi Ting hurried forward and wiped her hands with a handkerchief.
Yu Fu let her wipe it for himself, and wiped her small mouth casually, a little crab roe stained the corner of her mouth.
It looks very childish.
"Miss, don't wipe it with your sleeves, let the slaves come."
Qi Ting stepped forward slowly, carefully wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, and stopped after making sure that there were no stains on her face.
I have to say, judging by Yu Fu's appearance, she looks like a young lady from the Hou Mansion.
These big watery eyes, like pear dimples filled with honey, and pink lips...
Qi Ting was stunned for a moment.
"Sister Qi, when the general left, didn't he tell you to get anything I needed? I want to drink honey water, can you bring it?"
Honey water
Qi Ting was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly thought that Yu Fu was still a twelve-year-old girl.
What kid doesn't like drinking sugar water
She laughed and said, "Miss, do you just want to drink honey water? Do you want sweet soup? Like rice balls made with rice wine, or stewed snow clams with papaya, red dates and bird's nest soup?"
Yu Fu smiled cutely.
"No need, as long as honey water is enough, thank you sister Qi."
Qi Ting was so happy when she called her sister Qi, she turned around and went to the kitchen to prepare honey water.
After watching her figure disappear outside the courtyard gate of the west wing, Yu Fu looked around a few times to confirm that the servants sent by Qi An were not there.
Only then did she feel relieved.
"Yao Lan, come out quickly, this crab cake is delicious!"
