The reborn girl always wants to escape, but the abstinent marquis hugs her and coaxes her!

Chapter 235: Bamboo Fragrance Residence

Although they had just moved to Zhuxiang Yayuan, everything had already been tidied up by Madam Lu, and Xu Rongrong didn't bring many things with her.

Therefore, Wen Yao and the few people brought by Mrs. Xiao were able to quickly get things done.

As the water in the tea room boiled, the fragrance of tea filled the air. The midday sun shone through the bamboo forest onto the jade tables and benches in the courtyard, creating a sense of tranquility and relaxation.

Because she was afraid that Xu Rongrong would feel cold, Mrs. Xiao added cushions on the jade table and stools. They were soft and thoughtful.

"Lunch will be served in a while. If the county lady is free, I will ask the servants in the small courtyard to come over and introduce them to you," asked Mrs. Xiao. Xu Rongrong nodded. She had nothing better to do, so she just wanted to kill time.

Because they are taking care of the county lady, seven of the nine people serving in Zhuxiang Yayuan are maids.

At first glance, some of them had served in the farm in the southern suburbs, some looked familiar, and many more were seen for the first time.

Mrs. Xiao called over two of the girls who looked familiar to her. "These two girls are Jixiang and Ruyi. They used to serve at the farm in the southern suburbs. Their parents are still at the farm. They are both reliable and honest people."

After she finished speaking, Jixiang and Ruyi came forward to pay their respects politely.

Xu Rongrong nodded, and Wen Yao handed over two purses.

Since he was someone he knew well, it was natural for Wen Yao to lead him to work in the inner courtyard.

So the two maids hurriedly thanked Wen Yao.

Seeing this, Mrs. Xiao smiled and said, "Master Zhuangzi is not very knowledgeable. These two girls have been called auspicious and lucky since they were young. Their names are a bit vulgar. Please give them some names, County Lady."

Xu Rongrong knew that this was Mrs. Xiao's good intention, to show her style and authority in front of the servants.

However, since they were the children of the manor, they naturally knew the rules from a young age, so they smiled and said, "I think these two names have very good meanings and are in line with the current situation of moving into a new house, so there is no need to change them."

The two maids hurriedly thanked him and stepped aside.

The other five girls were sent by a familiar pawnshop. They were younger and looked thin, but they were smart.

Xu Rongrong asked for their names and origins one by one, then continued, "Since you have been following me since this Zhuxiang Yayuan, you should be called Zhuyu, Zhuqing, Zhuyun, Zhuying, and Zhuxi, respectively. I don't need so many people to serve in my courtyard. From now on, you should follow Madam Xiao to work."

"Yes." Wu Zhu answered in unison. The sound of "Madam Xiao" startled Mrs. Xiao.

She knew that these three plain words meant that the county lady had accepted her identity, and that she would always follow the county lady as her nanny in the future.

She was originally a despised old woman, driven away, and drifting with her disabled husband. If she hadn't been open-minded, she would have jumped into the river long ago. Fortunately, God had mercy on her, and the Marquis's Mansion had given her a place to live. Although she was working as a servant on the farm, the master rarely asked about her, so she had lived a very easy life for the past few months.

Now she was recognized by the county lady as her nanny and could serve her for a long time. For Zheng Xiaoshi, who had been displaced for a long time, this was a great favor.

For a moment, her eyes became moist.

With a choked voice, he said, "I will definitely take good care of them and make them useful to the county lady in the future!"

Xu Rongrong was a little frightened when she saw her red eyes. She didn't expect that just a few words from her would stir up so many thoughts in Mrs. Xiao's mind.

She knew what "Mammy" meant, but she wasn't someone who could sit idle in the inner chambers. She needed someone more capable to take charge of things. The Xu family didn't have such a person, and even if they did, she wouldn't dare hire them. Of all the people she'd known in her life, only Zheng Xiaoshi was suitable.

In addition, when she first met Zheng Xiao, she had a feeling that she was familiar. This was probably a rare fate.

Seeing Aunt Xiao's grateful expression, Xu Rongrong stood up and gave her a helping hand: "I trust Aunt Xiao, and I feel at ease leaving them to you."

With a slight movement, Mrs. Xiao stood in front of the new servants.

After introducing the maid, Mrs. Xiao... Madam Xiao called in two men who looked like servants who were waiting outside.

"This is Wu Ping, the former driver of the farm. Now that the county lady is in the capital, she has to go out, so this old servant brought him here."

"The other one is Xiao Sheng, the son of Lao Sheng, the head of the village's purchasing department. He has been working beside his father since he was a child and is an expert in purchasing."

"They are both children born in the manor and are the only sons. Their parents are now working in the manor. If the county lady has something to ask the manor to do, they are familiar with the channels."

Xu Rongrong smiled upon hearing this and said, "Madam Xiao's arrangements are indeed very appropriate."

Wu Ping and Xiao Sheng hurried forward and kowtowed, and Wen Yao also gave them two purses.

Xu Rongrong called Wen Yao out today because she wanted her to take over all the affairs in Zhuxiang Yayuan. After all, as time goes by, she can't let this girl just stay around her room all the time.

There weren't many people and not much to do, so everything was done quickly.

Knowing that the county lady had not yet fully recovered, Nanny Xiao tactfully led everyone to withdraw, and she took Wu Zhu and others to the kitchen to let them familiarize themselves with the work there.

As soon as the man walked away, Xu Rongrong saw a young man peeking out from the corner.

She smiled and said, "Come in."

Chu Yun jumped out from the corner, ran over in small steps, and hurriedly saluted like the servants before: "Greetings, County Master."

"You are a guest living here, not a maid or servant, so you don't have to be like them." Xu Rongrong said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Chu Yun stuck out his tongue mischievously: "How did the county lady lose so much weight? Is she in better shape now? When Brother Luo told me earlier, I was almost scared to death!"

His eyes were wide open with the seriousness of a teenager.

Xu Rongrong patted his head and said, "Look at how strong I am. I must be completely healed."

Chu Yun rubbed his head and smiled: "Then I feel relieved!"

His innocent look, coupled with the fragrance of bamboo in the garden, made Xu Rongrong burst into laughter.

As he spoke, he kept glancing around: "Why don't I see Sister Luo Shu?"

"She's out on an errand for me and will be back late."

"Oh..." The young man felt a little disappointed. He curled his lips and put the small object in his hand back into his sleeve.

Xu Rongrong glanced at her out of the corner of her eye, but didn't say anything: "If you need to find her, she will come to see you when she comes back."

Chu Yun waved his hands hurriedly: "No, no, the county lady's business is more important."

The sensible young man ran away with a red face.

Looking at his back, Wen Yao smiled and said, "It's really strange. This kid has endless things to say in front of Luo Shu, calling her sister all the time, and is so sweet-mouthed. Why is he so shy today and leaves without saying a few words?" "Didn't you notice? He came here specifically to find Luo Shu." Xu Rongrong smiled.

"I see."

Xu Rongrong had never met Chu Yunshen, and she only took care of him because of Chu He, so she didn't want to think too much about it at this moment.

She looked up at the midday sky and said, "I think it's time to start over there."
