Quick Wear: Male supporting role, come to my arms quickly

Chapter 145 The Little Maid in the Prime Minister's Mansion 9

It was not until the carriage stopped in front of a large courtyard with a tall gate and a plaque above the gate with the two big words "Chu Mansion" inscribed on it that he reacted.

"Sister, is this our new home?"

Chu Yuan raised her hand to close his chin: "Yes, your sister is very capable. It only took her two months to build such a large family business. Don't admire me too much."

At this time, the housekeeper came out: "The young lady is back, this must be the young master."

"Yes, Uncle Liu, this is my brother, the young master of our family."

Chu Yang greeted him mechanically: "Hello, Uncle Liu."

Chu Yuan felt a little amused as he saw him still standing there, his soul having already gone somewhere unknown.

My younger brother is so cute. His silly look makes me want to pinch his face and give him a good beating.

It's a pity that we are now in ancient times where people attach great importance to the separation between men and women, and I can't touch him without restraint.

Putting aside the regret in his heart, Chu Yuan brought his brother to the courtyard prepared for him: "Yang'er, the location of this courtyard is good, and it is not far from Pingting Pavilion where I live. Do you like it?"

"Satisfied, thank you sister."

Chu Yang never dreamed that one day he would live alone in a yard.

Moreover, this courtyard is very large. Except for the less gorgeous decoration, it is not much different from the Linfeng Courtyard where the second young master lived in the prime minister's residence.

"Since you like it, give this yard a name."

Chu Yang thought for a long time and decided to name it Qingshan Courtyard, hoping that he could have the tenacity of "holding on to the green mountains and not letting go". In the future, no matter how hard or difficult the road is, he must grit his teeth and persevere for the goal in his heart.

Afterwards, Chu Yuan took him to meet all the servants in the mansion and left the maid Mingyue and the servant Lin'an to serve him.

Chu Yang was still a little uncomfortable with this. In the past, he was the one serving others, and this was the first time someone served him.

This unfamiliarity is mainly reflected in changing clothes in the early morning and bathing at night.

He had been used to doing these things by himself for so many years, and suddenly there was a maid serving him, which made him feel very uncomfortable.

So he told Mingyue not to change his clothes in the morning and not to wash him when he took a bath.

Mingyue suddenly became the most leisurely maid in the entire Chu Mansion. Not only did her master only stay in the mansion for two days a month, but he also didn't allow her to do anything.

Mingyue felt very frightened.

She was sold to a pawnbroker by her stepmother. At that time, she was very thin and small, and looked like a little girl, so she could not be sold for much.

The broker only spent 2 taels of silver to obtain her ownership. Before leaving, the stepmother despised her for being worthless and kicked her hard.

After being raised in the pawnbroker for half a month, Mingyue was sold to a magistrate's house as a maid. The magistrate's wife treated the servants well, and she thought she had finally gotten lucky.

It just didn't last long.

A sixth-rank Tongpan was too insignificant to be mentioned among the powerful people in the capital city, and he was soon implicated by his superiors and his entire family was executed.

These servants became criminal slaves, with an even lower status. If they had not happened to meet a young lady who bought them, they might have been forced to become military prostitutes.

So since Mingyue learned that she was sent to serve the young master, she secretly made up her mind to take good care of the young master's food, clothing and daily life, in order to repay Chu Yuan for saving her from the dire situation.

I didn't expect that when I arrived at the young master's yard, I found that my enthusiasm was completely useless.

She was very afraid that one day the lady would think she was useless and send her back to that place which could be called a cage.

After Chu Yang left, Chu Yuan noticed that something was wrong with Mingyue and called her to his room to question her.

"Mingyue, you seem dazed recently. Is there something wrong?"

Mingyue thought she had made a mistake and knelt on the ground in fear: "Please forgive me, young lady. I will never do it again."

Chu Yuan couldn't help but doubt whether he was really that terrible.

She asked Chun Tao beside her to help her up: "Don't be afraid, I don't mean to punish you, I just saw that you have been restless recently and I am a little worried."

Seeing this, Mingyue expressed her concerns and wanted to ask the young lady to find her another job.

After learning the reason, Chu Yuan was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

"Don't worry, I still have the money to support a few maids. Just go back to Qingshan Court and serve him peacefully. Although the young master often won't let you get close to him, he can't live without a maid."

Then, in order to reassure her, he took out a few pieces of fabric from the storeroom and said, "If you have nothing to do, you can make a few clothes according to the young master's figure and give them to Yang'er when he comes back next time."

Mingyue got the job and left happily.

The next morning, when it was Chu Yuan's monthly deadline to collect her dividends, she got on a carriage and headed towards the inner city.

Not long after he walked out, he met two carriages coming side by side, and the coachman was a little embarrassed for a moment.

"Uncle Li, make way."

Although they have not yet entered the inner city, anyone who can come out of it may be of higher status than Chu Yuande, and she cannot afford to offend him.

And any discerning person could see that the two carriages were unwilling to give way to each other and neither wanted the other to walk ahead of them.

Chu Yuan didn't want to get involved in this open and secret struggle, so he decisively chose to avoid it.

After receiving the order, Uncle Li parked the carriage on the side of the road.

Fortunately, there were frequent carriages in Shangjing City, and the roads were relatively wide, so the two carriages on the opposite side could easily pass by.

Chu Yuan lifted the curtain and looked outside, just in time to meet the eyes of a girl. Judging from her attire, she was a lady from a wealthy family, and she was also a very quiet type.

Because in the moment when the two looked at each other, the girl nodded slightly to her, as if to thank her for giving way.

Chu Yuan arrived at Nishang Pavilion and first settled last month's dividends. This time it was more than before, a total of more than 1000 taels.

This is really a profitable business, and the partners I chose are also good.

If this were just an ordinary shop, other clothing stores would have imitated the dresses in the second month after they were sold.

Even though Madam Ying followed Chu Yuan's advice and made special marks on the inside of the dress to indicate its origin.

However, the existence of piracy will definitely cause them to lose some customers.

But things did not develop as Chu Yuan had imagined.

Not only did other clothing stores not sell similar styles of dresses, but they also did not show any intention of competing with them for business.

It is obvious that the backing behind Nishang Pavilion is very strong, making the owners of these shops unwilling to offend them easily for money.
