"Come, Xiao Yu. I know you like peace and quiet. Take a look at this small courtyard. This is the backyard of my residence. Usually, no one will come here.”
"When the time comes, I'll give you eight or ten servant girls to serve you. It'll definitely be more comfortable than your life in the countryside.”
Zhangsun Chong pulled Zhangsun Yu to a small courtyard. He said to Zhangsun Yu.
Zhangsun Yu looked around the small courtyard and nodded involuntarily. However, the environment was not bad. There was even a fake mountain and a lake in this courtyard. It could be considered a good place to live.
Zhangsun Wuji had just returned home and still had some official business to deal with, so the matter of settling Zhangsun Yu was handed over to Zhangsun Chong.
"Brother Chong, there's actually no need for this. I'll just stay here for a few years at most.”
Zhangsun Yu said. In a few days, he would be conferred the title of Marquis. When that time came, he would have his own marquis 'manor, so he would naturally not need to stay in the Zhangsun Clan.
However, Zhangsun Chong shook his head.
"Even if it's only for a few days, I want you to stay comfortably.”
Zhangsun Yu smiled, feeling touched. After all, other than his mother and the villagers, Zhangsun Chong and the others were his few friends in this world.
Not long after, a group of servant girls actually came to the small courtyard. At first glance, there really were eight to ten of them!
Zhangsun Yu looked helpless. He had thought that Zhangsun Chong was joking. However, he did not expect that he would actually find eight to ten servant girls for her.
"Brother Chong, I don't need anyone to take care of me. I'm already used to being alone.”
Zhangsun Yu said. He was indeed not used to being taken care of by others. Self-reliance was the best.
But this time, Zhangsun Chong did not compromise.
"This won't do. You have to get used to your current status. In a few days, you will become the youngest Marquis in the history of the Great Tang!”
"So, in the future, you will have hundreds of people responding to your call. How can you not have your own maid?”
Zhangsun Yu, who came from the future, was indeed unable to understand Zhangsun Chong's words, but that was the truth.
Zhangsun Yu had no choice but to take a step back.
"Then I'll pick two at random. I don't want too many, just help me clean the yard.”
Zhangsun Chong was helpless, but when he saw Zhangsun Yu's determined look, he still nodded.
Zhangsun Yu glanced over and randomly picked two from the group of maidservants. In any case, he was only staying in the Zhangsun Manor for a few days, so it did not matter.
After settling Zhangsun Yu down, Zhangsun Chong was about to leave. He wanted to pay his respects to his mother.
Zhangsun Yu's heart skipped a beat. Wasn't Zhangsun Chong's mother his aunt? Not to mention, since he was here, he should pay his master a visit.
Secondly, Zhangsun Chong's mother was her aunt. Although they did not know, since Zhangsun Chong knew, he should respect the elders.
"Brother Chong, wait. I'll put down my mother's memorial tablet and go with you to pay my respects to Madam Zhangsun.”
Zhangsun Yu said. Zhangsun Chong nodded and stood in the courtyard to wait for Zhangsun Yu.
After placing his mother's memorial tablet in Zhangsun Yu's room, Zhangsun Yu lit up the agarwood before leaving with Zhangsun Chong.
Before he left, Zhangsun Chong instructed the two maids.
"This Pure Spirit Courtyard has not been inhabited for a long time. It is estimated that there is dust everywhere.”
The two maids quickly bowed respectfully.
"Yes, Eldest Young Master!"
Although Zhangsun Chong was a very nice person, Zhangsun Yu treated him like an ordinary person when she interacted with him. However, Zhangsun Chong was the son of the Duke of Zhao!
The second generation of the Great Tang! Therefore, only people like Zhangsun Yu would not care about him. If it was any ordinary person, even if they were from an extraordinary background, they would be respectful to Zhangsun Chong.
When the two of them left, the two maids also began to clean up the courtyard.
One of the maids said.
"Sister, we should clean up Young Master Yu's room first. After all, the courtyard is too big. There are only two of us, so we might not be able to clean it all up today.”
"Clean up Young Master Yu's room first. After he comes back, he can rest well.”
The other servant girl nodded. That was indeed the case. Before they came, the steward of the Zhangsun Manor had already informed them of all the information regarding Zhangsun Yu.
They knew that this was Zhangsun Chong's sworn brother. Just this fact alone was enough to make them feel that they could not afford to offend him. They must not be extremely respectful. Otherwise, Zhangsun Chong would not only lose their jobs in a fit of anger, but they might even lose their lives.
The two maids immediately entered Zhangsun Yu's room. There was no luggage in the room. Zhangsun Yu only brought his mother's memorial tablet and a small incense burner to Chang 'an.
As for the magical plants in the house, after Zhangsun Yu had his own residence, Chen Hu and the others from the Chen Family Village would naturally send them over personally.
"Eh, sister, look."
The servant girl immediately noticed the memorial tablet that was being worshiped.
The other servant girl also looked over. They had grown up in the Zhangsun Clan and were naturally better than the other servant girls. They could read.
"Zhangsun Xiu 'er? Is this Young Master Yu's mother?"
the servant girl said softly.
The other servant girl frowned.
"I remember that the portrait in Madam's room also has this name, right?”
The two of them were stunned. As maidservants of the Zhangsun Clan, they naturally knew some secrets. For example, the Empress of the Tang Empire did not only have Zhangsun Wuji as her brother.
There was also a twin sister. In the room of their wife, Zhangsun Wuji's wife. There was a portrait of two identical women.
One of them was naturally Empress Zhangsun, and the other was Empress Zhangsun's twin sister.
Beside the two of them, their names were written. That painting was personally drawn by Madam for the two sisters when she was young. Because Zhangsun Wuji was much older than Empress Zhangsun and Empress Zhangsun.
When the two ladies were still children, Madam had married into the Zhangsun Clan. In other words, Madam had watched the two girls grow up and raised them like her own daughters.
All these years, Madam had been staring at the portrait in a daze and crying. The two of them had served Madam for a period of time, so they knew about this matter.
"Alright, stop gossiping. Maybe it's just a coincidence. Hurry up and clean it up. Otherwise, it won't be good if Young Master Yu comes back angry!”
A servant girl said. Although they did not know Zhangsun Yu's temper, they did not dare to be careless. What if Zhangsun Yu was a young master who was easily angered?
