It was less than a month's journey from the capital to Suzhou all the way south, but it was early summer, and the southerly wind was blowing all the time, so it seemed to be going against the wind.Although the wind was not strong, it had some influence. In addition, I was not in a hurry to travel. I often set off in the morning and stayed in the evening, and rested in a slightly larger city for a few days in the middle. This trip took about a month and a half. .When I arrived in Suzhou, it was already approaching midsummer, and the willows on both sides of the river also changed from emerald green to indigo.

The vegetation in the south is very rich. Daiyu can see a lot of trees through the layers of willows and willows. There are peach trees full of pink peaches, and many trees with yellow, orange and orange oval fruits. A lot of unknown trees.With Lin Daiyu's good eyesight, she can even see the furry hairs on the orange fruit.She knew that it was a loquat fruit, and she had eaten it a lot in her previous life. This fruit has a delicate fragrance and a sweet and sour taste. She liked it very much before, and it is said that it is also very nutritious.This is one of the special fruits of Suzhou City. I am lucky this time, and I have to plant a few more in the space.Not only can you eat it anytime you want, but it's also more delicious?

The boat gradually approached the shore, and Lin Daiyu disembarked surrounded by maidservants, and got into the small sedan chair that came to welcome her. Lin Ruhai was surrounded by officials and went to the government office. She also wanted to meet officials from various places in the south of the Yangtze River. Eat in the house.Lin Daiyu sat in a sedan chair and walked westward to a very luxurious mansion. On it was a majestic plaque with the four characters "Great Governor's Mansion" written in thick ink. From now on, it would be her family's residence in Suzhou. Lin Daiyu thought.

The door of the mansion was wide open, and Lin Daiyu drove straight in in a sedan chair, letting go of her senses and feeling the surrounding environment. Even though she was well-informed, she couldn't help being surprised, it was clearly a small garden.She also visited Suzhou gardens in her previous life, but they were not as elegant as this garden. It seems that its previous owner really enjoyed it!It is said that this house was built by the king of Nan'an after he came to the south of the Yangtze River, and there are all kinds of pavilions and pavilions inside.Alas, the handwriting of the well-known dude prince in Beijing is indeed extraordinary. This courtyard is much larger than his own mansion in the capital, with rockery and flowing water, which has the characteristics of a Jiangnan water town. Unfortunately, he has no luck to enjoy it at this time!

I sat in the sedan chair until I arrived at the inner courtyard. Just as the maids put down the sedan chair, a smiling old mother graciously grabbed the space behind the maids before getting off the sedan chair. She graciously opened the curtain of the sedan chair and said, "Lin Please get off the sedan chair, girl!"

At this moment, Hong Lian also rushed up from behind, and Lin Daiyu took Hong Lian's hand and got off the sedan chair.The old mother on the side was still stretching out her hand, neither letting it go nor closing it, and finally laughed and clapped her hands and said: "Hey, it's the girl from Beijing who looks extraordinary, even these maids are better than us. It’s a hundred times better! Miss, do you think this yard is satisfactory? If there’s anything you don’t like, just say so, and the old slave will get someone to fix it later!”

"It's good, don't bother mom, is mom in charge of this house?" Lin Daiyu asked.

"Hey, look at this old slave's memory, it really deserves to be beaten!" The old mother clapped her hands vigorously and said, "This old slave is the wife of the magistrate's wife. You can call me Mama Cai. We know that the girl is coming, we The wife asked the old slave to clean the house a month ago. The wife is not feeling well today, so she was unable to pick up the girl in person, and said that the old slave would tell the old slave to come and visit the girl when she is free. I was afraid that it would be inconvenient for the girl to come, and there were not enough manpower. I have already bought dozens of little maids from Ren Yazi in advance and put them in the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, and you can send them wherever you need them!"

"Then Madam Cai told your wife, thank you for your trouble. Daiyu is young, and I should have visited your mansion. How dare Madam Lao come here in person? I also brought a There are quite a few maids, and the manpower is still enough. Besides, the maids I brought are used to it, and the new ones are not used to it? When mother leaves later, take those maids away, and stay here for leisure Let's go!" Lin Daiyu said, thinking that the old woman was in charge of the mansion, but she thought it shouldn't be, after the death of King Nan'an, the people in the mansion should be dismissed even if they don't return to Beijing!It turned out that the wife of the magistrate sent to manage the mansion temporarily, so it was easy to handle. When I came, I brought all the people in charge of the mansion. Since Madam Cui is the wife of the magistrate, now the master is here. It's time for her to go back.As for these maids, they can't stay anymore. Who knows if there are any nails in it? Dad has a heavy responsibility to come here this time, so there can't be any problems. !

"This..." Cai's mother hesitated, "These are our wife's orders, and the old slave can't make the decision now, how about the girl Rong Laonu to report back to the wife?"

"In this case, first arrange those little maids to stay in Xikuayuan for one night. You go back to your wives, and take them away tomorrow!" Lin Daiyu said, she could vaguely feel her from Mama Cai's performance. There is a purpose in pleasing oneself so much.Either he tends to his father's power, or he is ordered by the magistrate's wife.That's why Lin Daiyu also has a bit of a blunt taste when she speaks, and now her father is a high-ranking official in the imperial court.In Jiangnan, it can be said that he can cover the sky with one hand. If the servants of a fourth-rank official's family who have malicious intentions have to pretend to be hypocritical, it would be too cheap!Sometimes you have to be tough to be a human being, otherwise everyone will think you are easy to bully, and the consequences will only be more troublesome.Although I don't know if Madam Zhifu really didn't show up because she was unwell, but the so-called master must have servants. Although I haven't seen it yet, it can be inferred that Madam Zhifu should also be a follower of power.

"Yes, I'm going to spread the message now, old slave!" Mama Cai lowered her head and replied, seeing Lin Daiyu's tough attitude, she swallowed back what she wanted to say to help manage the internal affairs.Looking at the situation, Miss Lin is obviously unwilling to let herself intervene, or don't make fun of yourself, and report to your wife as soon as you get back, it doesn't match the rumors, this Miss Lin is really not easy to mess with!

"Honglian, tell me to go ahead and let the mothers and stewards we brought here arrange for everyone to take up their duties, just like in Beijing before. We will also replace our own people in other places, sent by the magistrate's wife. The maids are all arranged in the Xikuayuan, and a small team of guards are sent to guard them, and they are not allowed to leave the hospital at will. The salutes should also be unloaded according to the category, and Aunt Chen can arrange a small courtyard next to the Xikuayuan!" Cai's mother, Lin Daiyu, walked away. After entering Yuxuan Pavilion, which is the courtyard where she will live in the future, she gave instructions as she walked.

"Yes, this servant has made a note of it. The girl has been exhausted all the way, so go into the house and rest. The servant will immediately order you to prepare hot water!" Honglian said.

Lin Daiyu didn't refute, and nodded in agreement. She didn't feel tired after sitting in the sedan chair all the way, but there was a lot of dust on her body, and she should really clean it up.In fact, she never took a bath outside. After all, she was used to the water in the space, and the water outside was really unacceptable.But it's hard to explain, so I have to ask the maids to prepare it every time, but it has never been used.

After a while the hot water was ready, Lin Daiyu waved away all the maids, and ordered not to disturb, then closed the door and entered the space.After taking a good bath in the space, I picked a lot of fruits and ate them, and sat under the plane tree to continue practicing. Now the plane tree has become the main place for her practice, and the futon that was placed in the room before was also taken by her. Putting it under the sycamore tree, the original practice room became a place for reading.After running for a few weeks, Lin Daiyu felt a lot more relaxed, so she played around in the space.

Lin Daiyu, the kite hawk given by the eighth prince, has already been raised in the space. Fortunately, the only person who knows about this kite hawk is Hong Lian, and Hong Lian has always been loyal, even if she knew she had a secret, she would never ask her.Sometimes Lin Daiyu thinks: If it doesn't take a while for Honglian to cultivate too, forget it!

"Sazi!" Lin Daiyu yelled, and saw a kite hawk with a red-purple forehead and a snow-white tail flying over with a low cry, and landed on her outstretched palm.

"Hehe, you little thing, you've only been in the space for less than a month, but you're much smarter, how about you, follow me!" Lin Daiyu stretched out her other hand and poked the top of its head and said, There was also a bit of cunning and mischievousness in Ru Mo's eyes.When she was outside, she sometimes had to put on the airs of a lady, but she was much more casual in the space.

"Chirp!" Harrier Eagle Sa Zi let out a flattering cry and pecked Lin Daiyu's palm lightly.Didn't expect so much good stuff from this beautiful owner!

"Hehe, don't make trouble!" Lin Daiyu said, her palms were itchy from being pecked, she couldn't help laughing, and then patted Sazi's head, and pulled its feathers along the way, until it had a tendency to explode , just let go and said: "Okay, let's play!"

The little kite hawk chirped softly, and flew away obediently.Lin Daiyu looked amused from behind, she didn't care about Harrier Eagle after she took it, but put it in the space, anyway, it will find fruit by itself when it's hungry, it seems like it's a good choice now.Sazi is originally a spiritual bird, and there are so many geniuses and treasures in the space. Even the humble fruit has extraordinary aura, which is very suitable for the growth of the little hawk. It seems that even the wisdom has increased a lot .She remembered that among the kung fu collected by Senior Qingfeng, there were many suitable for animals to practice, and she could let Sa Zi try to practice in the future!

After playing with Little Harrier Eagle for a while, Lin Daiyu went to a distant mountain to pull out a thousand-year-old ginseng tree, um, let's make soup for Dad later, I've been so busy these days, I need to replenish my vitality!

After doing all this, Lin Daiyu left the space, handed the ginseng to Honglian, and asked her to send it to the kitchen to make soup.Lin Daiyu, the cook in the capital mansion, also brought all of them with her. It is also common to make ginseng soup, so there is nothing to worry about.

"Does the girl still feel tired?" Guren asked after a while.

"I came here in a sedan chair all the way, so I didn't feel tired at all. If you feel tired, go down and rest!" Lin Daiyu said.

"That's not necessary, the slaves didn't go anywhere, the girl is fine, and it doesn't matter if we are rough-skinned and thick-skinned." Hong Lian said.

"Yes, yes, there are plenty of servants. Can the servants prove to be fresh when they just arrived in Suzhou City?" Lv lotus and the others echoed.

"Okay, I think you're just getting excited! The others are tired, so you all go down and rest!" Lin Daiyu said to Xiaochun and Xiaoxia.

After a while, everyone in the room was dismissed by Lin Daiyu, only Honglian was still standing beside her.Although everyone said that they were not tired, she knew that it was just a scene. Although they all sat in sedan chairs, it was uncomfortable to keep sitting for a long time.If it wasn't for the reason of cultivation, she might be the one who couldn't hold on first.

"Honglian, go and rest for a while too!" Lin Daiyu said.

"Girl, the servant is not tired yet, girl, let's rest first!"

"You, you are really a stubborn character, okay, I'm going to rest now!" Lin Daiyu said, Honglian's old love is a little inexplicably persistent, if she doesn't go to rest today, Honglian will probably be exhausted here up.Suddenly thought of something, and said: "You can ask Lin Steward to inquire about the situation in the magistrate's mansion later, forget it, just inquire about the situation in the homes of the main officials in Suzhou City! Daddy is an official in this area, so there will inevitably be some contacts in the future. !"

"Yes!" Honglian went away in response.
