The Peasant Girl’s Splendid Manor

Chunhua's legs were like noodles, and she was trembling with fear, but she didn't dare to say anything. She led the way with a white face, turning her head to look at the six beasts from time to time, for fear that they would pounce and bite people.

The six beasts looked at her with disdain, then swaggered to the front with their necks raised.

The group of people walked around the tall screen wall and saw a wide open space in front of them. The spacious front yard was just as Zhen'er said, big enough to run a horse! Of course, there are no horses inside now, only six beasts galloping among the flowers.

Everyone hid their shock and walked forward without looking back. Although he didn't deliberately linger and glance at her, the entire front yard was already visible from the corner of his eyes, and his mood was not as calm as it appeared.

Xue Tuanzi in the space was not willing to be lonely, and ran out to join in the fun: "Yanyan, it's just a house the size of a palm, and it's not as big as the space, so you've been fascinated by it? You're really worthless!"

Mo Yan silently replied in her mind: "The space is so big that you can see to the end at a glance. No matter how small this house is, it is still enough for your master and me to eat, drink and have fun! Since you don't like this big house, I will wait for you to transform one day." Let’s build a mini cabin for you, and you can stay in it alone!”

"No, Yan Yan!" Xue Tuanzi was anxious and quickly said to please her: "I like living in big places, and they are getting better and better. This house is very big and nice. Let's live here from now on."

Mo Yan snickered, but her voice was serious: "It depends on your performance. If you perform well, I will live in a big house. If you perform poorly, I will build you a small room. Anyway, you are alone and don't need a big place."

"No, I want to live in a big house, not a small house! Hey, hey, Yanyan, you can't do this to me, or you will lose this baby!" Xue Tuanzi pinched her throat and cried delicately. This cry It's so realistic that those who didn't know it thought it was really crying.

The cry was so magical that Mo Yan felt goosebumps rising, and she immediately didn't want to talk to this guy anymore.

After passing through the long corridor, the group walked through the second door and entered another large courtyard. Compared with the grand and spacious front yard, the area of ​​the second yard is nearly half smaller, but the layout is much more sophisticated. In addition to several large flower beds with precious flowers, trees, and several strangely shaped rockeries, there is also a stream that slowly passes through.

I saw a stream twisting and flowing from the depths of the flowers and trees under the rocks. The beautiful trees on both sides of the bank were lush and green, and the strange flowers were shining brightly. A few steps further, gradually towards the north, it is flat and wide, with flying buildings on both sides, and pavilions and pavilions, all hidden among the canopy-like trees.

What's rare is that there are no traces of artificial carvings on the quietly flowing stream. The small wooden bridge that leads to the other side is also made of pure natural bamboo.

The scenery in the yard is all beautiful and exquisite. Everyone suppressed the idea of ​​having fun and followed Chunhua into the main hall.

Compared with the two overly large courtyards at the first and second entrances, the size of the main hall is very normal, slightly larger than the Mo family's house. The layout inside is the same as the scenery in the yard. It is very exquisite, with fur like snow dumplings. Can't fault one thing.

However, the house was too big, and no one had come here for a long time. Zhao Dafu and others rarely cleaned it, and a thin layer of dust fell in the house. This made Mo Yan and others who love cleanliness feel a little uncomfortable looking at it. Comfortable.

Noticing that something was wrong with the Mo family's expressions, Chunhua soon understood, her expression changed involuntarily, but she complained about the Mo family in her heart. I think if they had taken a breather before coming, they wouldn't have been unprepared and become as frightened as they were today.

Although she was dissatisfied, Chunhua did not dare to say anything. She confessed to Mo Yan, quickly went to the back to find clean water and a handkerchief, and quickly wiped the tables and chairs.

Mo Yan saw that she was working quite neatly and that the tables and chairs were clean, so she didn't say anything.

After Chunhua took away the sewage, the Mo family each found a chair to sit down. After being bumpy in the car for a long time, I was really tired.

Not long after, Zhao Dafu, who had parked the carriage, led the whole family to the main hall and knelt on the ground to greet Mo Yan.

Mo Yan was not used to kneeling like this, and had just given Zhao Dafu and his daughter another insult outside. This time, he did not embarrass them, and asked them to get up after greeting them.

The Zhao family has three generations living under one roof, with a total of twenty people. The oldest couple, Zhao Dafu, has three sons and one daughter. Each of the three sons married a wife and gave birth to several children. The youngest is already five years old and can already help with some light work.

The only daughter was Chunhua, and the man she married was a servant of the former owner of Zhuangzi. Later, Zhuangzi was taken back to the court, and Zhao Dafu used a trick to bring his daughter, son-in-law, and grandson to Zhuangzi who were supposed to be sold. , a family living together.

Mo Yan looked at the Zhao family and saw that they were dressed simply, no different from ordinary slaves. Even Zhao Chunhua changed out of her silk shirt and put on ordinary cloth clothes. There was no trace of hair on her head, ears or wrists. However, the pairs of silk shoes on their feet betrayed the fact that they had been re-dressed.

Although Zhao Dafu, who was the steward of Zhuangzi, was suspected of being corrupt, Mo Yan did not take action now.

For one thing, Zhuangzi only came under her name last autumn. Whether Zhao Dafu poached the former master or the imperial court has nothing to do with her directly.

Secondly, Zhuangzi is so big that it needs special people to take care of it. Zhao Dafu was able to win the favor of Zhuangzi's former master. Later, after Zhuangzi returned to the court, he could continue to be the steward, which showed that he was a wise man. She did not intend to replace him, provided that this person was worthy of her trust.

Mo Yan asked the rest of the Zhao family to go down, leaving Zhao Dafu alone...
