Ye Jintang glanced at Qingcuiyuan, and his heart felt cold.
"Trying to embarrass me, dream."
"Mother Zhang, go to the front yard and ask who is in charge. Tell her that I am too weak to bear this pain. If Danyang Marquis Mansion does not have a suitable yard for me to live in, I will leave now."
Ye Jintang stood at the door of the yard, with no intention of going in.
"Yes, slave, go right away."
Aunt Zhang was naturally aware of what was going on in the back house. It was obvious that the old lady of Danyang Hou Mansion was deliberately trying to embarrass Ye Jintang.
If she just suffers like this, I'm afraid she won't have a place in the Danyang Marquis Mansion in the future.
"Girl, the snow is getting heavier and heavier, let's go over there to take shelter."
Forsythia took out a big cloak and put it on Ye Jintang. It was just fine snowflakes, but now it has turned into heavy snow.
"Well, everyone comes to the pavilion to get out of the snow."
Aunt Zhang has been away for half an hour, and it seems that things are not going well for her.
Fortunately, the result was good. When Grandma Zhang came over, she brought several maids and women with her. They had tools in their hands and it seemed that they were here to clean up the yard.
Ye Jintang pouted, Mrs. Ye really hated her, otherwise she wouldn't have been determined to let her live in such a shabby courtyard.
"Girl, this is Grandma Sun, who is also the steward of the backyard."
"I've met Miss Six. I'm really sorry for this. It's all because of my lax control, which is why my nanny didn't clean up the yard for the girl in advance."
"Girl, please sit down for a moment and let the ladies tidy up the yard quickly."
"Mommy, I'm afraid I can't wait any longer. It was windy just now and it's so cold outside. I already have a headache. Why don't I find an inn to stay in first and then wait for the grandmas to clean up the yard and move back in."
Ye Jintang frowned and spoke in a low voice, looking like he might faint at any moment.
So many people watched Ye Jintang enter the Danyang Marquis Mansion today. If she went out to stay in an inn at this time, the Danyang Marquis Mansion would be known for treating orphans harshly.
How dare Grandma Sun let her live out there?
"Sixth Miss, why don't you go to the Jade Garden next to you to take a rest."
"That's fine. Grandma Sun, I'm weak and afraid of the cold. Ask the maid to bring me some pots of charcoal. I can't stand the smell of smoke. Please help me find some that don't smell like smoke."
Ye Jintang politely said the words that made Grandma Sun's chest feel tight. She stood up grandly and asked Grandma Sun to take her to Jade Garden to rest.
Jade Garden is much better than Qingcui Garden. Someone should clean it every day and make it very clean.
Ye Jintang guessed that Feicui Garden was used for the residence of relatives visiting the Hou Mansion, otherwise it would not be so well-kept.
"Girl, sit down for a moment, and I'll go get someone to deliver charcoal right now."
Although Grandma Sun was reluctant to do so, she could only hold her nose and bring charcoal to Ye Jintang.
When she went out to call for charcoal fire, Lvzhu and several maids immediately took out clean and soft cotton mats from the cage and placed them on the Arhat's bed.
They were afraid that Ye Jintang would be cold, so they brought a wool blanket over and covered Ye Jintang's legs.
When Grandma Sun came back, she saw the big change in the house, and she couldn't help but sigh in her heart that the few maids Ye Jintang had with him were very efficient in doing things.
"Miss Six, drink some tea to warm yourself up."
Seeing Ye Jintang's face turn red from the cold, Grandma Sun brought her hot water, a teapot and tea leaves.
It's a pity that people don't like what she brought at all.
"My girl is used to fine porcelain tea cups, but these tea cups are too rough."
Lu Zhu took out Ye Jintang's usual tea set and tea leaves, and took them away in front of Grandma Sun.
Grandma Sun was so angry. When she looked at the fine porcelain used by Ye Jintang, she raised a question mark in her heart.
Didn't it mean that Ye Jintang had been defrauded of all his money? Why could she afford such expensive tea cups? If she read correctly, the set of lotus blue sky tea cups used by Ye Jintang. It takes at least a few hundred taels of silver to buy it.
She must talk to the old lady later, maybe Ye Jintang is not as poor as they thought.
There was a charcoal fire in the room, which quickly warmed it up.
Ye Jintang drank tea and was not in a hurry, letting the rough nuns take their time to clean up. Anyway, she had plenty of time and patience.
It was snowing outside the window, and Ye Jintang was already tired. She leaned on the soft pillow and looked at the heavy snow falling outside the window. She fell asleep in a daze.
She slept deeply, and when she woke up again, there was only Forsythia doing needlework in the room, with a snow ball nestled at her feet, and she was snoring.
"Forsythia, what time is it?"
"It's not long after noon. Are you hungry? Chef Wei just made some rice-treasure porridge and said she can drink it as soon as she wakes up."
"I slept for such a long time, no wonder I'm a little hungry."
"Go and bring me a bowl of rice-treasure porridge and let me fill my stomach."
"I'm a slave, go now."
As soon as Forsythia left, Liuli entered the house.
"Girl, even if the Qingcui Garden is cleaned up, it is still very shabby. I went to check it out just now. All the furniture in the house is old furniture that has been there for who knows how many years. Even if it is cleaned, it cannot be used by the girl."
"The house is a little damp, and the ground is wet. Just now, Grandma Zhang brought the charcoal basin into the house, and there was a musty smell in the house for a long time."
"There are other windows that still leak air even though they have been re-papered."
"How can you live in a house like that?"
Liuli went to Qingcui Garden for a walk, and the more she looked at it, the more she became angry.
The Danyang Marquis Mansion is too bullying, even a maid wouldn't want to live in Green Cuiyuan.
Ye Jintang has never been a soft persimmon. The old lady wanted to give her a showdown as soon as she entered the door, which was simply a fantasy.
"Don't worry, I will find a way soon to ask Grandma Sun to send people to rebuild the Green Garden. As long as it is not repaired, I will not live there."
After another half an hour, Grandma Sun entered the room with a smile on her face.
"Sixth Miss, Qingcui Garden has been packed up. You can have the boxes and cages moved in first, and quickly gather the things while it's still dark."
"Don't worry, I'll go over first to see if the yard is habitable."
Ye Jintang put on a thick cloak, and as soon as she went out, the howling north wind blew, making her shiver.
"The wind in the capital is so cold, it makes my bones feel cold."
"Winter in Beijing is a bit cold. When the Chinese New Year is approaching, it will be even colder than now."
Grandma Sun accompanied Ye Jintang to Qingcui Garden.
All the weeds in the yard have been pulled out, but the ground is uneven and the stubble left by mowing the weeds can still be seen.
The window paper was re-pasted, but the window looked cheap at first glance, not even half as good as the Jade Garden she was in just now.
As Liuli said, there were a bunch of tattered furniture in the room. Perhaps the cleaning was a bit hasty just now, and the furniture was all wet, making the room even more humid.
Even if a carbon basin was placed in the house, the unpleasant musty smell was not removed.
