Meishan Su family, Su Yun is the most virtuous

Chapter 41 Quiet and Thoughtful
Have to move again.

Fortunately, they didn't have much stuff with them, and they had a stubborn donkey to serve them. Su Shi said goodbye to the host again, and the five of them carried their belongings towards Zhou Zhan's yard at the east gate.

On the way, Su Shi and Su Yun sighed: "It's only been a short time since we came to Huangzhou, and we have already moved several times?"

Su Yun calculated that the first time he moved from Dinghui Courtyard to Lingao Pavilion, the second time he moved from Lingao Pavilion back to Dinghui Courtyard, and this time he moved from Dinghui Courtyard to Zhou Zhan's compound. This was his third move.

Su Yun smiled and said, "Uncle, if you want to blame someone, blame your nephew for being so troublesome. If it weren't for your nephew, uncle would have lived in Dinghuiyuan all the time and might have become a monk by now."

Su Shi laughed and scolded, "I was just expressing my feelings, but your words are full of thorns. I have never seen you act like a junior. When you get to the compound, don't mess around. Copy the Han Shu first and temper your temper. Otherwise, you will be covered with thorns and will prick anyone you meet."

Zhu Ada nodded repeatedly, feeling that what Mr. Su said really touched his heart. This kid Su Yun would stab anyone he caught, and he was the one who got stabbed the most!

Su Yun was not convinced and said, "Uncle, didn't we agree that I would not take the imperial examination?"

Su Shi nodded and said, "There is no exam for the Han Shu, so why are you so anxious? There are benefits to copying the Han Shu. First, you can practice your calligraphy. Second, every word in the Han Shu is a pearl, which can help you practice your writing style. Third, it is just the right time to temper your monkey temper. Learning more things is always good."

Su Yun nodded and agreed when he heard this.

I have heard that Su Shi copied the Book of Han several times, which shows that the Book of Han must have its value. Knowing more about it may be helpful in healing one's own mental exhaustion.

There were already servants waiting in the courtyard. When they saw Su Yun and others, they quickly opened the gate and invited Su Shi and others to enter through the gate.

Then the stubborn donkey was pulled in through the backyard, where there was a special vehicle entrance where the donkey cart could be unloaded.

Su Yun stood at the gate and looked at the courtyard. It was not luxurious, but it was definitely one of the best houses in Huangzhou.

This yard covers a large area, and you can tell that it is maintained with great care.

The paint on the door is very bright and it is painted about once a year.

There is basically no moss on the walls, which means they are probably scrubbed frequently.

The green tiles inside were also clean, with no accumulated mud or grass.

The yard was paved with blue bricks, neatly laid out and scrubbed clean.

Su Yun led Su Shi inside, looking around as they walked. When they saw the fifth entrance, Su Yun nodded with satisfaction, turned around and said to Su Shi with a smile, "Uncle, is there anything inappropriate about letting my aunt and her family live in this house?"

Su Shi knew that Su Yun was showing off, so he laughed and scolded: "It's good that you, a monkey, can still make trouble. I'll give you credit for it!"

Su Yun chuckled and said, "Ahui, Ada, Asan and I will live in the second courtyard. When my aunt and her family arrive, we will live in the main courtyard. Uncle, I will go and arrange a room first."

Su Shi heard this and said, "Ahui and Ada will live in the second courtyard, and you and Su Mai will live in the third courtyard."

This compound is of the classic "front hall and rear bedroom" style.

The first courtyard is the same as the third courtyard, and the second courtyard is the hall and east and west wing rooms for external use.

Afterwards, another hanging flower gate was set up to form the third courtyard between the living room and this hanging flower gate.

Behind the Chuihua Gate is the fourth courtyard where the principal house and wing rooms are located, which is the main courtyard.

There is a rear room at the back, which forms the fifth courtyard.

Su Yun and his friends are all men, so it is indeed more appropriate for them to live in the second courtyard, but Su Shi let Su Yun live with Su Mai and his friends. This is to tell Su Yun: I don’t treat you as an outsider, you are the same as Su Mai.

Su Yun didn't object when he heard this, he just smiled and nodded and left. Anyway, when the Snow Hall in Dongpo was built, he might spend less time here overnight, so he wasn't afraid of any inconvenience.

Su Shi was also happy to see that Su Yun had no objection.

Although Su Yun was his cousin, he was the one who took care of everything from Bian Jing to Huangzhou. Su Shi knew very well that if it were not for this cousin, he and his son Su Mai would have suffered a lot.

This nephew always considers the Su family. If he doesn't know how good Su Yun is, he would be too heartless and ungrateful.

Su Yun said that he was going to the front to arrange accommodation, but in fact he found a servant to question him.

"How many servants are there in here?"

"The master arranged for an old maid to cook, a doorman to watch the door, a servant to sweep the house, and a coachman."

Su Yun saw that the person who answered was obviously different from the other servants, so he asked, "What about you?"

The servant said, "Master Su, I am the butler, you can just call me Ah Fu."

Su Yun nodded and said, "Have you always been here, or were you just assigned here this time?"

Ah Fu said, "The cook, the coachman, and the humble servant were all arranged to come here this time. The doorman and the servants who sweep the floor have been guarding here all the time."

Su Yun nodded and said, "Okay, I see, that means you three already had positions to do, and you were transferred here this time.

How about this, I don't need so many people here, the three of you can go back to your original positions, you don't have to worry, I will talk to Mr. Zhou about it.

As for the doorman and the two cleaning staff, they should stay here."

Ah Fu was surprised and asked, "Master Su, don't you need anyone? Such a big yard still needs someone to take care of it."

Su Yun smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have servants at home, but they haven't come yet. They will come with my aunt and the others in a while. By then, there will be too many people and it may be difficult to accommodate them."

Ah Fu nodded and said, "I see. Then I will take them back. If Master Su needs anything, you can always tell my master."

Su Yun nodded and said, "Okay, thank you, Butler Fu."

Ah Fu left with the cook and the coachman.

Su Yun explained to the doorman and the cleaning servants some things that needed to be paid attention to in daily life, and then went to arrange the rooms of A Da, A San, and A Hui.

This courtyard may not be much better than Lingao Pavilion, but Lingao Pavilion is an inn after all, and its shape is quite different from that of a residential building. It actually feels more like home to live here, and Su Yun is quite satisfied with it.

After Su Yun made all the arrangements, he asked Ah Hui to go back to Linjiang Tower and inform the shopkeeper that the meals would be delivered here in the future.

I have been living in Dinghui Temple for a while and I don't like meat, so I have stopped eating at Linjiang Tower. Now that I'm here, I can eat something delicious again.

After moving here, it is indeed much quieter. Since Su Yun doesn't have to go to Linjiang Building recently, he has more time.

After copying books for a few days, Su Yun felt anxious again.

Since I have nothing to do anyway, I might as well start some new land.
