Chapter 464 Moving into Mingyue Manor
However, Xie Wenfeng was not a good man either; before marriage, he had many concubines in his household.
When he's out, he uses business as an excuse to have a lot of fun.
A battle for Dongli Residence?
That was one of the twelve courtyards in Mingyue Villa, courtyard number nine, which was filled with chrysanthemums.
From August to October, Dongliju is the most "lively" place.
However, in this situation, you can open the back door, seal the middle door, divide the courtyard into two, and rent them out to two different people.
Although the price of all twelve courtyard houses is the same every day, the two of them fighting for the right to live there during this season is really causing a lot of trouble.
Dongfang Jin glanced at the two people who were still arguing, shook her head speechlessly, and said, "Go find Granny Su. She can handle this kind of thing."
Tell Granny Su later, if they bring up their status...
They were blacklisted and were never allowed to enter Mingyue Manor again.
Once they're blacklisted, no matter who they're with, they're also blacklisted.
She didn't believe that the two of them would still be so arrogant if they knew they were going to be blacklisted.
“Yes, my lord, I will go right away,” Anqin bowed and got up to leave.
The head housekeeper of the Five Elements Academy, Granny Su, is indeed capable of handling this kind of matter.
You should know that Granny Su was His Majesty's wet nurse.
Back when His Majesty was still the Crown Prince, he sent her to the countryside to save her life.
Her in-laws assumed she would never return because she had stayed in the palace for seven years without going back.
Not only had she been removed from the family genealogy long ago, but her husband had also taken her money to marry another woman.
...In order to swindle her money, her family pretended to take her home and keep her there, and after they had swindled all the money out of her, they...
They sold her to a butcher, but luckily the butcher was a good man, though he was short-lived. Su Mama and the butcher lived together for more than a year.
After the butcher died, her in-laws lost their source of income and blamed all the crimes on Granny Su.
They called her a jinx, a jinx, and then sold her to a slave trader.
...It was five years ago when she heard that His Majesty had a son, and in her joy and tears, she let it slip.
After hearing about this, the madam of the brokerage firm took note and immediately relayed the news to the manager of the local Lingyun Pavilion.
When His Majesty learned of this, he sent someone to bring her to the palace so that she could continue to take care of the Crown Prince.
Since the Crown Prince left with his master, His Majesty had her placed at Mingyue Manor, where she became the head steward of the "Five Elements Academy," mainly in charge of the medicinal cuisine hall.
After watching An Qin's figure disappear at the intersection, Dongfang Jin gently brushed his fingertips across the silver floral pattern on his sleeve.
As he turned around, his eyes narrowed slightly, and a faint yet authoritative smile played on his lips: "Uncle Jiang, from now on, our family will live here at Fengwu Residence."
She paused, her gaze sweeping over the neatly trimmed holly hedge not far away. "Give the order that no one is to disturb us unless it is absolutely necessary."
From now on, we'll enter and exit through the south gate, and you shouldn't tell anyone else who we are.
"By the way, Uncle Jiang, could you arrange for some people to be sent to Lingwu Manor later?"
I'll give you a set of drawings later; have them modify it according to those drawings.
Jiang Qiao lowered his hunched back even further, a smile spreading across his wrinkled face: "Princess, please rest assured, this old servant will give the order."
He raised his hand and wiped non-existent beads of sweat from his forehead with his sleeve. "A few days ago, I was discussing with Boss Lu where those people would go after the project on the mountain was completed."
"Lingwu Manor is in dire need of manpower right now. I'll discuss it with him later, and we'll send some people over tomorrow."
At this point, his eyes darted around, "Old Lu's son, Lu Chizhou, is a fast runner. He also led the team that built the Five Elements Academy."
Why don't we have him lead a team of strong men to build the outer wall first?
Song Yanjing's team still has some paving work to do, which should be finished soon. Once that's done, let them go.
Gu Chenglin stood by the moon gate leading to the "Five Elements Academy" on the roadside, a corner of his dark-colored wide sleeves being lifted by a gentle breeze.
He gazed at the purple hair ornament inlaid with spirit stones swaying in his wife's hair, and a gentle ripple appeared in his eyes.
He reached out and gently supported her elbow, then pointed to the setting sun with his other hand: "Yu Ying and the others have probably finished packing, and the children must be hungry."
He spoke in a gentle tone, with a hint of indulgence, "Aren't Jingye and the others going to continue eating barbecue? Let's go quickly."
Dongfang Jin suddenly turned her head to the side, her eyes curving into sly crescents with a smile.
She glanced at the children watching the birds hopping around beside the artificial hill on the west side, and suddenly raised her voice: "Kids, how about a competition?"
"A competition?!" The twig Zhao Pengyu was using to tease the birds fell to the ground with a "thud".
Her little face flushed red, she bounced over, the blue ribbon in her hair trembling. "Is it a tree-climbing contest? Or a poetry contest?"
Shen Qihui tugged at the tassel of the jade pendant at his waist, his dark grape-like eyes sparkling: "Auntie, are you going to have a recitation contest?"
"I just memorized the Analects perfectly the other day..." he said, his eyes still darting around.
When Dongfang Jin saw his expression, she found it amusing. He had definitely memorized it, but as for knowing it perfectly, she doubted he could.
However, she didn't expose him; a child this age is at the stage where he cares about his reputation.
Gu Mingyu pulled his cousin over and asked, "Auntie, what are we competing in? Is there a prize?"
Gu Jingye shook his hands, squeezed to the front, and saw the young woman glance at the house halfway up the mountain.
"Mom wants to see who can get home first, right?"
The safety lock around her waist jingled. "Yesterday I had a horse stance competition with Dad, and he said my kung fu hasn't gotten any worse."
Gu Chenglin...
Did he mean that?
I was just praising you because it had been a long time since we last met, why are you showing off?
This brat is even less obedient than he was when he was a kid. I hate him.
Dongfang Jin looked at his smug little face; it was rare for this kid to show such an expression.
He pointed to the white-walled, gray-tiled house halfway up the mountain, its walls entwined with green vines, and a mischievous smile appeared on his lips: "Then, you can run from here to that gate."
She deliberately touched the purse at her waist, signaling to the children that she had prepared the gold ingots.
"The first place winner—" her drawn-out voice was carried lightly by the wind, "is awarded ten taels of pure gold ingots."
She emphasized the word "cross" and "pure gold" very heavily because there aren't many gold ingots in circulation these days.
The content is around 90%, let alone pure gold.
Changsun Yu, who had been gripping his sleeve, suddenly loosened his grip, remembering what Shen Qihui had once said.
This auntie loved giving people gold ingots; her eyes were shining like lamps at that moment.
Even the tips of her ears turned a flush of excitement as she sidled up to Dongfang Jin.
My little finger secretly hooked around her sleeve: "Auntie, do you keep your word? I... I came in second place in the autumn competition this year."
From here, it's not far to the house halfway up the mountain; it's probably only about one and a half times the size of a drill ground.
He'll definitely be the first one there.
Looking at his determined expression, Dongfang Jin sighed inwardly, "Silly boy, don't underestimate the short distance."
Don't forget that it's a steep slope, and although there are some curves, they are also deceptive.
This kid still doesn't realize that he's been successfully brainwashed by his cunning father.
Let's start with the first step of the hammering process.
Gu Chenglin...
Looking at the group of kids eager to get started, he looked up at the sky speechlessly.
Even my cousin's guards were completely outmaneuvered by his wife, let alone a few greenhorn boys.
Over here, Gu Caiwei picked a small pink flower from the flower bed and was tucking it into Chu Mengyu's hair.
She gently pinched Chu Mengyu's cold wrist with her fingertips, smiling like a cat that had just stolen some cream: "If Little Yu wins..."
I'll give you that pearl bracelet; I saw you staring at it for a long time at the Treasure Pavilion last time.”
"Don't listen to her nonsense." Yang Wenwen pinched Chu Mengyu's bluish earlobe, a cheerful smile playing on her lips.
