Enter Chang Xiangsi and help Jingzhai fight

I stroked her little face and said, "Xiaowei, be good. Later, ask the servant or maid at the door to bring you some snacks. Just tell them what I said and take whatever you have just eaten."

Xiao Wei clapped her hands and laughed, "Okay! Then I'll have the plum crisps! Sister Senying likes sweet food, so I'll give her the Luoshenqinghua rolls!"

I smiled and said, "Okay, okay, whatever you say! Just go ask them for whatever you want to eat or drink!"

Xiaowei happily took Xiaohui back home.

I walked with Yuan Zi for a while and came to a quiet side courtyard. Although the courtyard didn't seem to be very popular, it was not far from Chen Rong Xinyue's residence. At the door, servants and maids in coarse clothes were already coming and going, some carrying things into the house, and some carrying buckets and rags, all busy.

Yuan Zi and I walked into the house and took a look around. I saw that it was similar to the residences of Chen Rong Xin Yue and Tu Shan Jing, with mostly wooden furniture and two rooms and a living room, but the furniture and furnishings were not as gorgeous and exquisite as those in their houses. The bed in the inner room was not big, leaving a large empty space.

Yuan Zi stood by the bed, and seeing that everyone was busy in the outer room and the yard, she whispered to me, "The young lady from the Fangfeng family also likes to dress up. Last time she came, she moved two big boxes and put them here, one for clothes, and the other for her bows and arrows and jewelry. The young lady may secretly feel that she cannot compare with her in appearance, so she always competes with her in clothes and jewelry, fearing that she will outshine her. If you see the young lady from the Fangfeng family at night, don't praise her beauty, or you will violate her taboo."

I whispered back, "Thank you for your advice, Miss. I'll keep it in mind."

Yuan Zi smiled and said, "No, that's not the case. The young lady is the young master's concubine. From now on, she will be considered half of our master. I will naturally consider the young lady."

I smiled guiltily and glossed over it.

At this time, a round-faced old woman wearing a crimson satin jacket walked into the inner room with a smile on her face, bowed to us, and asked, "Hello, girls. We haven't dared to move in this room yet. Do you want to clean it yourself, or do you want to let us clean it?"

Yuan Zi and I exchanged a greeting, and she said, "Mother Cong, please clean up here first. Miss Fangfeng is no longer the same as she used to be. She will be the young lady of the Tushan family in the future, so you must be extra careful in serving her this time. I will go to the housekeeper to get a silk quilt from a silkworm, a cashmere quilt, new gauze curtains, new towels, etc., so I am afraid I will not have time to clean up here. You guys start first, and if you have any questions, ask Miss Lanxiang. She is the young master's new concubine yesterday, and was originally the head maid of the young master Tushan. Except for the application and dispatch in the mansion, which she is not familiar with, she can make the decision on what is missing and where to put things. If there is anything that needs to be applied for, you wait for me to come back and report, and I will do it together."

When the old woman heard this, her face was all smiles, wrinkles appeared at the corners of her eyes, and she nodded repeatedly. She looked me up and down calmly with a gleam in her smile.

I pretended to know nothing and just smiled back at her calmly.

Yuan Zi walked out and told the maid who was wiping the table to be more careful, to wipe it with a wet rag and then wipe it again with a dry rag, firstly to avoid leaving water marks, and secondly to protect the wooden surface. Then he walked out of the room and went to the housekeeper.

Mother Cong quickly asked me to sit near the outer door, saying that the inner room would be swept and dusted soon, and she was afraid that the dust would dirty my clothes and blind my eyes. She also called a little maid to bring me tea and told me to sit there comfortably without having to do anything.

I smiled and blew a leaf or two in the tea cup, watching them busy in and out leisurely, and at the same time I looked at the few furnishings in the house and memorized them clearly. After memorizing them, I walked to the courtyard again, and saw a few servants carrying a bonsai with rockery as the main part and green plants as the auxiliary into the yard, and placed it in the corner of the yard, which decorated the slightly empty yard with a bit of life.

Before I finished walking around the yard, someone came to call us for lunch, and I followed them out of the yard.

Just a few steps out of the yard, someone pulled my arm. I turned around and saw it was Mother Cong.

She came close to me and whispered, "Miss, you don't have to go with them. There are too many people and it will be noisy. I'll ask someone to bring it over to you. You can just go back to your room and wait."

I had said too much to Chen Rong and Xin Yue earlier, and I really didn't want to chat with those unfamiliar maids anymore. I just wanted to have a quiet lunch and think about Fang Feng Yiying's affairs. Mother Cong's behavior was exactly what I wanted.

So I respectfully obeyed, thanked Mother Cong, turned around and went back to sit in the house.

I had had snacks at Chen Rong Xinyue's place in the morning, and drank a lot of tea just now, so I wasn't very hungry. I took advantage of the midday sunlight to see the dust at the door floating in the air, and I was distracted for a while.

I wonder if Tushan Jing has finished his meal? How many days will it take to discuss his matter? If I go back to Tushan Mansion directly after the discussion, will I be able to meet Fangfeng Yiying? Ruiyang also went out with them. Except for Xiaohui, the rest of us are female relatives. I am afraid it is not convenient to go out to look for them. How can I bring a message to them? What should I say so that Tushan Jing can take me away directly without entering the mansion?

After thinking for a while, I didn't come up with any ideas, but I was hungry. I stood up and looked towards the gate. I didn't see the person delivering the meal, but I saw the door was pushed open. A young man dressed as a servant of Chen Rong Mansion led four men dressed in dark green clothes who looked like servants and carried two large boxes in.

Seeing me standing at the door and looking around, the servant said with a smile, "Sister, are you staying here? These are the servants of the Fangfeng family, and they are here to bring Miss Fangfeng some clothes."

I quickly made room at the door so they could carry the boxes in, and said, "Yes, yes, thank you for your hard work."

The four servants carried the box to the open space in the inner room, put down the lifting pole and rubbed their shoulders. The servant smiled and said, "Brothers, you have come from afar. We have prepared good wine and delicious food to reward you. Why don't you come with me to have a meal?"

Three of the servants looked at the older one, who cleared his throat and said with a smile, "Thank you, young man, and thank you for the hospitality of Chen Rong Mansion. We have to return the same way later, so there is no need for wine, just some food will be fine. These two boxes contain the clothes and other things that the young lady is used to using every day, so please keep an eye on them and don't leave the room empty."

I quickly agreed, "Don't worry, big brother. I will definitely take good care of it. You guys can go and have your meal without any worries."

The older servant then nodded and led the rest of the people out with the boy.
