Chapter 937 Arrived in Kyoto
They were polite, and Baiyunxi was not stingy either. Before leaving, he left five guan of money to express his gratitude. The things in Yi Cheng's place are all rationed. If they use more, Yi Cheng will have to make up for it from elsewhere.
In the days that followed, they kept driving on the road, rushing as much as possible during the day and staying overnight. If there is a post house, I will stay in the post house. If not, I will stay in a farmhouse.
The originally half-month journey took them nearly a month.
On this day when she saw the city tower from a distance, Baiyun Xi was very excited.
"Grandma, we are finally here."
"Yeah, we're finally here." After running around for a month, we finally saw the tower.
When the motorcade approached the city gate, a young man jumped out from the roadside and waved to the motorcade.
"Aunt Wen, the fifth master sent the younger one to pick up the old lady."
"Xiao Nian? How did you know we were arriving today?" Wenyou raised her eyebrows and got off her horse.
"I don't dare to hide it from my aunt. I come here every day and today happens to be the eighth day." Xiaonian smiled. This was a task assigned to him by the manager.
With that said, Xiaonian ran to the Baiyunxi carriage and saluted.
"The old lady has been working hard all the way. The younger one will immediately lead the way. Let's go back home to rest first."
Listening to Xiaonian's tone, Bai Yunxi raised his eyebrows.
"Did you buy the mansion so quickly?"
"Back to the old lady, as soon as the fifth master arrived in the capital, he asked Mr. Zhao to buy a house. The big courtyard in Sanjin is about the same size as the courtyard in Fucheng."
Xiaonian nods like pounding garlic,
"I just bought it in a hurry. Many places haven't been completely cleaned up yet. I'm just waiting for the old lady to make the final arrangements."
Listening to Xiaonian's tone, Baiyunxi breathed a sigh of relief. It would be much more convenient to live in a yard.
Xiaowu is fast enough.
The motorcade was subject to routine inspection when entering the city. Fortunately, Xiaonian brought Baifu's waistband, and the city gate guards were very polite and let him go after a brief inspection.
After entering the city, Baiyunxi directly opened the car curtain and admired the scene in the city.
It is worthy of being an imperial city. At the feet of the emperor, the streets are wide and lined with shops. The people walking on the streets look calm and gentle, and their clothes are not patched. Just looking at this, you know that the people are living a happy life.
It is said that life is good under the emperor's feet. Whether you have a skill or just do menial work, as long as you are not lazy, you can support your family.
The convoy walked along the street until it reached the intersection of Center Street, then turned to South Street. After walking for another quarter of an hour, it turned into Huaishu Alley again.
The carriage stopped at the third house. There was a boy waiting at the door. When he saw Xiaonian, he opened the door directly.
"Welcome to the old lady to return home." Following the concierge's greetings, carriages drove into the yard one after another.
When the car stopped, Baiyunxi got off the carriage and looked at the spacious courtyard, feeling very satisfied.
"Old lady, please go ahead and sit down in the hall to have a rest and drink some water. I will lead the convoy to a remote area and then take you to check out the courtyard."
"Go ahead. After riding all the way, I have to move. My legs and feet are numb."
Baiyunxi stood in the yard. The entire front yard, except for a sycamore tree on the left side of the yard, was all open space, paved with blue bricks, smooth and clean.
There are four main rooms and three wing rooms on the left and right sides. In addition to the gatehouse, there are also two back rooms at the main door, which are usually used for night watchmen to rest and take shifts.
There is a moon gate on the right side of the yard, which is also the side yard Xiaonian mentioned. Carriages were led in one after another.
Just then, Shuyuan came back with the stone.
Seeing Baiyun Xi, Shuyuan walked over quickly and bowed, "I would like to say hello to Yiren, little one. You have had a hard journey."
"No gifts, I've been working hard all the way, and finally I'm home. You guys are so quick and tidy. The house is tidy."
Bai Yunxi looked at Shuyuan. This boy was very smart. He had taken on the job of steward of the front yard as early as in Fucheng.
"The fifth master has been looking forward to the arrival of Yiyi and the ladies. The yard has been almost tidied up. There are still some places that Yiyi and the ladies need to add according to their own preferences."
Shuyuan said, watching Zhang Yishan and the Du family get out of the car, they were greeted with another wave of greetings.
"The young one will take the old lady to the backyard to settle her down first. After she has rested, she will go to the yard."
Shuyuan said, leading several people through the Moon Cave Gate to the second courtyard, which has the same specifications as the front courtyard, with four main rooms and three side rooms on the left and right.
There is a side courtyard on the left hand side of the second courtyard.
After that, they entered the courtyard for the third time, the same room, the same side courtyard.
At the end is a garden, which is quite large. At this time, the garden is completely bare. If you want to plant flowers or something, you have to wait until next spring.
In the northwest corner of the entire house is a row of servants' rooms.
After briefly understanding the structure of the courtyard, Bai Yunxi looked at Zhang Yishan and said, "You are the mistress of the house, so you should still live in the second courtyard. I will take Anya to live in the third courtyard, just like in Fucheng."
After listening to her mother-in-law's arrangement, Zhang Yishan shook her head.
"Mom, I'm not in good health right now. I can't run the house for the time being. I have to work hard for my mother to take action. It's better for me to live in the third courtyard, and my mother should live in the main courtyard."
In the past, it was fine in Fucheng, but now in Kyoto, she has to do her duty as a daughter-in-law and not let anyone pick on her and say she doesn't understand the rules.
"You will always be in charge of the house in the future, and it will be troublesome to change back and forth. Besides, mother voluntarily retreats behind the scenes and does not interfere with the lives of you young people. It will be the same wherever she lives."
She temporarily helped with housekeeping matters, but she would still leave them to her daughter-in-law in the future.
As for the main courtyard and the secondary courtyard, she never cared.
Bai Yunxi's tone was very strong and he took Du Shi directly to Sanjin Courtyard.
Looking at the clean courtyard, Bai Yunxi chuckled at Mrs. Du, "I don't know how Brother Zhao found the courtyard. It's really nice. It looks more spacious than the one in Fucheng."
"Fifth brother is capable, we will also enjoy the blessings." Du agreed, opening all the doors to let some air out, and all the furniture and beds in the house were placed. All you need to do is add daily necessities and you can move in.
Bai Yunxi sat on the Arhat bed and patted it.
"Let's rest for a while and then put things away."
"Mom, let's rest first while I go to put things away. After riding in the carriage all the way, my body is stiff and I just need to move around."
Du Shi chuckled lightly, took the girl out directly, and asked people to unload the items on the cart, classify them one by one, and then deliver them to various yards.
For a while, the girl and mother-in-law were very busy.
Bai Yunxi took a breath, rubbed her waist, got up and went to the second hospital, telling Zhang Yishan to take a good rest and not let herself get tired.
"Don't worry, Mom, I'm fine. Everyone is taking care of me all the way. If I don't live up to my expectations, it will be a joke."
Zhang Yishan sat on the Luohan bed, stroking her belly, leaning on the soft cushions behind her, her face slightly red.
"Special treatment during special times. We rushed to Kyoto as soon as the weather got cold. The timing was just right."
Bai Yunxi said, looking at the furniture in the room, nodding with satisfaction,
"It seems that Xiaowu did a lot of things when he came to Kyoto."
Compared to before, I am much more meticulous and can take care of my family. (End of chapter)
