Chapter 231
In the past few days, Lin Xuan has been busy with the matter of moving, and many things have to be mentioned and prepared.
In a flash, it will be April [-]th, and tomorrow is the day of relocation.
That night, the family got together and had a meal, which was also the last meal they had in this house.
After Lin Dongyang finished his meal, he walked back and forth in the living room with his hands behind his back, sighed and said, "Oh, I have lived here for more than 20 years, I really have to leave, and I still feel a little bit reluctant."
This house was bought by him through hard work, and it entrusted him with a lot of emotions.
Lin Xuan smiled and comforted him and said, "Father, people always have to look forward, don't they. Besides, our family is developed, not down. This is a good thing, and you should be happy."
Lin Dongyang nodded and said, "Yes, you should be happy."
Seeing that Lin Dongyang was still in a low mood, Lin Xuan said, "Father, this house is not for sale. I'll have someone rebuild it later. If you miss it, come back and live for a few days."
The Lin family's house should have been established for decades. Although Lin Dongyang had been repaired every year after he bought it, it was still a bit dilapidated.
"There's no need to rebuild, you can just let someone repair it. I never thought in my life that I could live in such a big house!" Lin Dongyang said with a smile.
He also visited the new house in the past few days and felt very satisfied.
Lin Xuan smiled and said: "What is this? Your son and I are now Marquis. According to the etiquette system, we can build a bigger building, but we have a small family, so we can't continue to expand."
When the house was first built, he was an earl, and when it was built, he became a marquis.
According to the etiquette system, the extension to [-] mu would not be exceeded, but his family only had such a few people, thinking about it, he thought it was unnecessary, so he did not expand.
Don't think it's an exaggeration, like the several dukes' mansions he's been to, they all cover an area of hundreds of acres, and they're incomparably grand.
"Father knows that you are promising, you go back to sleep first, Daddy is shopping!" Lin Dongyang said.
"Yes!"
Lin Xuan knew that Lin Dongyang was still a little reluctant. After all, he bought the house with money and lived in it for so long, which is normal.
Lin Dongyang walked out with his hands behind his back, butler Lin hurriedly followed. He has been with Lin Dongyang for more than 20 years, and he understands Lin Dongyang's mood very well.
"Xuan'er, don't worry about him, just let your father walk around by himself." Zhang Qing said.
Lin Xuan nodded and said: "Mother, I understand, you should go back to rest early, you have to get up early tomorrow."
Lin Xuan went back to his yard and was fine. He sat there and drank tea for a while before going to sleep.
Many people say that drinking tea before going to bed will make them unable to fall asleep, but Lin Xuan doesn't feel that way.
Because of having to get up early the next day, Lin Xuan slept alone this night.
The next day, before dawn, Lin Xuan was called up by Chunyue.
At this time, the entire Lin family is brightly lit. Although most of the things have been moved a few days ago, some close-fitting things need to be saved until the end.
Under the service of Chunyue and the others, Lin Xuan finished washing and began to pack his things.
Everything else is fine, you have to clean up your 'treasure chest' by yourself.
I was busy until it was slightly bright, and finally loaded everything into the carriage.
After checking again, there was nothing missing, Lin Dongyang called Lin Xuan and said, "You carry the fire cage, and when you set off, sit in the front carriage."
"Father, I understand." Lin Xuan didn't ask much, it was nothing more than some ancient rules of moving.
Lin Dongyang was a little worried, and explained: "Remember, the fire cage must never be handed over to others. You must personally mention the new house and use this fire to light the stove."
"Father, what then?" Lin Xuan asked.
Lin Dongyang said: "You just need to light the first fire."
The carriage full of things was driven by the servants and Lin Xuan's personal soldiers from the back door.
Lin Dongyang led Lin Xuan in front, Zhang Qing led Lin Duoduo in the back, and the family came to the door and boarded the prepared carriage.
At this time, the room was very quiet, Lin Xuan and Lin Dongyang were sitting in the first carriage.
As soon as the carriage left the Lin's house, they saw lanterns and candles hanging at the door of many people's houses.
Lin Xuan called out Lin Dongyang from the carriage, and asked, "Father, what's going on?"
He went to court before, but he had never seen this scene.
Lin Dongyang said with some emotion: "They are seeing us off."
During the snow disaster last year, Lin Xuan donated a stove to help the whole Chang'an survive a cold winter.
But at the beginning, the briquettes were very nervous, so Lin Dongyang gave some to everyone in the same workshop.
And when they moved, they couldn't send them off, so they had to use this method to send off the Lin family.
After listening to Lin Dongyang's words, Lin Xuan had a deeper understanding of the simplicity of the ancient people.
"Let's go." Lin Dongyang ordered to continue to set off, and returned to the carriage.
Because of the reason Lin Xuan reported in advance, the guards along the road did not embarrass them.
When I came to the gate of the city, I didn't wait long before it was time to open the gate.
With the help of the city gate guards, Lin Xuan's family was the first to leave the city.
After half an hour, we finally arrived at our new home.
Butler Lin and some people had already been here before, so they were not too surprised when they saw the new house.
And those maid servants who have never been here, seeing such a magnificent house, are very excited when they think that they will work in it in the future.
Lin Ping had already brought people to wait at the door. Seeing Lin Xuan and the others getting off the car, he hurried up to greet him and said, "I have seen the master, madam, son, and miss."
Lin Dongyang said: "Xuan'er, go to the kitchen to light the fire first."
"Yes!"
A group of people came to the kitchen, and Lin Xuan lit the stove with a fire cage.
"It's on fire, and the new house will be booming in the future." Lin Butler saw that the stove was lit, and hurriedly shouted.
The corner of Lin Xuan's mouth twitched, it's just a move, but is it the same as getting married?
No way, Lin Xuan also yelled 'booming fire'.
After the stove was lit, the cook at home was busy making breakfast, and Lin Butler and Lin Ping were busy calling people to arrange the salutes they brought.
Lin Xuan, Lin Dongyang and his son came to the ancestral hall and placed the ancestral tablets.
After offering incense to the ancestors, the father and son went to worship various gods.
After finishing all this work, the sky is already bright.
After breakfast, Lin Dongyang and his wife went to rest because they got up too early.
Lin Xuan really wanted to go back to sleep, but there were still a lot of things waiting for him, so he didn't have that blessing.
"Are those servant girls okay?" Lin Xuan asked.
After Lin Ping rested, he asked Lin Xuan for a new job.
Lin Xuan thought that he was going to move soon, and his yard was bigger, so he lacked a manager, so he promoted Lin Ping.
"My lord, those people have just come here, so they must be honest. It will take a long time for the details to become clear." Lin Ping said.
Not long after Lin Xuan was ennobled, and the previous house was too small, no servants were added.
Now that the new house has been built and there is space, dozens of servants have been bought.
In addition to the previous ones, the Lin family now has more than 60 servants and maids.
Don't think it's too much. According to Lin Xuan, the yard he lives in can be cleaned, washed, and waited on, and there are more than a dozen messy things.
The ancient lord's family was very extravagant, and Lin Xuan was rare.
"We still have a banquet today, so you go and help Steward Lin, and it must be done." Lin Xuan ordered.
Although Steward Lin has been a housekeeper for more than ten years, the Lin family used to be a small family after all. Now that he is suddenly asked to manage so many people, it is inevitable that there will be omissions.
"Yes!" Lin Ping replied, and went to work.
The main courtyard is where Lin Xuan lives, and he originally wanted Lin Dongyang and the others to live there.
But Lin Dongyang and his wife refused to live or die, saying that if they were to live in the main courtyard, they would rather move out.
Lin Xuan had no choice but to agree.
When Lin Xuan came to the main courtyard, Chunyue and Yuhe were leading a group of people to tidy up the courtyard and pack things.
"I've seen your son!"
When the servants saw Lin Xuan approaching, they hurriedly saluted.
Lin Xuan waved his hands and said, "What should you do?"
There is a building in the main courtyard with a total of two floors, below which is the living room and some wing rooms.
The second floor is Lin Xuan's bedroom, study room, and a few other rooms, which are reserved for a maid who serves him.
Lin Xuan came to the bedroom on the second floor and was very satisfied with the modernized room.
What satisfied him the most was the big bed. Of course, he wasn't satisfied because the bed was so big, it was simply because he liked sleeping in a big bed.
