"Wei Shizhong doesn't have much ink on Princess Mingzhu, but your husband can borrow Wei Chengdi's daily life note from the Imperial Academy. If you are interested, you can ask your husband to help." Li Baolu said with a smile: "Although the daily life note will also be affected by those in power , when the probability of distortion is low, you can combine other data for analysis.”

Gu Jingyun gave him a sideways glance, and asked meaningfully, "Are you really interested in this?"

Zhao Ning coughed, scratched his head and said, "I'm a little curious whether Emperor Wei Cheng is really like this, so..."

"So treacherous?" Li Baolu laughed loudly and said, "This can be studied, Brother Jing Yun, please lend it to him."

Gu Jingyun glanced at the red-faced disciple, and nodded in agreement.

Zhao Ning let out a sigh of relief, wondering if the husband would think that he was not doing his job properly for being curious about this.

Li Baolu handed him the corrected scriptures and said with a smile, "Go and play."

Zhao Ning twitched the corner of his mouth and took Jingyi. He is in his late twenties. Do you need to coax him with such a tone?

"Wait a minute," Gu Jingyun called to stop him, "Tomorrow afternoon, you ask for leave and pick up someone at the gate of the city for your teacher."

"Pick up who?"

Gu Jingyun said lightly: "You will know when you go."

Zhao Ning looked at the master with a confused face, isn't it necessary to know the detailed information in advance to pick up people?

Gu Jingyun waved his hand and said, "Let's go."

Zhao Ning could only swallow all the questions in his stomach.

After the people left, Gu Jingyun looked at Li Baolu who had already taken homework and re-marked, and asked, "Is the yard ready?"

Li Baolu squeezed her thumb and index finger into a circle, stretched out the other three fingers, and said winkingly, "I'll take care of things, don't worry."

Gu Jingyun smiled slightly.

Gu Jingyun and Li Baolu have secretly prepared the house "if Master and mother are together" ever since they knew of Master's fierce heart and leopard courage.

In order to prepare the house for his uncle's family to live in when they returned to Beijing, Gu Jingyun bought the latter family at one go. The left and right families had three yards in total.

And then they went south to Runing and Yazhou again, and they didn't have time to deal with it. It wasn't until they returned to Beijing in the spring of this year that they began to slowly start making arrangements.

In fact, if it wasn't for the lack of money and the skyrocketing housing prices in Lingsheng Street, Gu Jingyun would also like to buy two more yards to expand his home.

Because they really didn't have any money in hand, and they didn't know when the master and mother's good fortune would be imminent, the young couple were very eager to decorate the house.

Just like the parents of later generations are eager to prepare a wedding room for their children, the young couple are also very anxious to give Master and mother a stable and comfortable environment.

And the house made up of four yards is very weird, because the size and layout of each yard are different, not only out of proportion, but also have no aesthetic feeling after being combined.

And it's a waste of space.

For example, there were four families in the past, and each family had a kitchen, a utility room and a cowshed, and the two families on the left and right had a large area, and even opened a well and a vegetable garden in the backyard.

Especially the yard where Bai Yitang lives now is the largest, with two entrances in total, and the back wall is directly aligned with the back wall of the house they bought.

At that time, there was a two-meter-wide alley between the latter family and Gu's house. It used to be the one on the left, so it was a dead end.

After buying it, Gu Jingyun directly paid some "road money" at the yamen, bought the area of ​​the alley they were facing, temporarily built a wall, and then opened a door to connect the two. a family.

But just like this, the home formed by a hoe in the east and a hammer in the west is really ugly.

After returning to Beijing this year, Gu Jingyun and Li Baolu couldn't help redesigning the house, making rational use of the area as much as possible, and decorating it warmly and beautifully.

After all, this is probably where they will live their entire lives, and possibly pass it on to future generations.

In fact, the size of their house is not small, but it is caused by the unreasonable layout, which makes them feel very crowded.

After Gu Jingyun finished designing the design, Li Baolu began to call people to start construction.

Because of the lack of money, she didn't dare to make too much action, but she still removed the turned heads that had been built before, and rebuilt the walls to make them blend together. At least it seemed that they were like this at the beginning, and people couldn't see it. It's newly built.

Then some redundant buildings were demolished, such as those unnecessary cowsheds, protruding utility rooms and large kitchens, etc., and many places were vacated in an instant.

Li Baolu divided the large courtyards on the left and right into two, and built two separate courtyards. The house on the right is smaller, so only three main rooms and one side room were built in the back. Li Baolu planned to let the sisters Weizhen move in. Enough for them to live.

The first entrance on the right is the same as the first entrance in the middle, with five main rooms and a newly built small kitchen, which is still for Zhao Ning.

The house on the left is very big. Li Baolu not only built the two houses to be spacious and spacious, but also built a small garden at the end of the yard. All the walls connecting the garden to this side were dismantled, and a ditch was dug from the other side. In the middle of the middle road, a small garden is also built here, so that the two small gardens are connected, although they are not on the same line, but when the flowers and trees grow and the branches and leaves are luxuriant, you will not be able to see the current one.

Some formations were also used to guide them. As long as they don't see it from the sky, no one can see that this garden is a diagonal line.

No way, the upper and lower houses on the middle road are too far apart. The first entrance is the backyard, the alley, and then the second entrance gate and the big front yard. After the wall is removed, the open space in the middle is too large, unless they put the backyard His house was demolished and rebuilt on this vacant land to become a second entrance, otherwise this place would only be able to build a small garden.

Since there is also a small garden on the left road, Li Baolu wants to connect the small gardens on the two roads to form a large garden, so that it will be more spacious for children to play in the future.

Thank you for the formation book they brought back from Lingtianmen. After researching it, Gu Jingyun asked people to use plum trees to set up a very simple small lost trace formation. Oblique to reach the other side.

It will make people expand the area of ​​​​the garden from the heart.

In fact, very little work has been started on this change. After all, there are very few parts that they need to build, and most of them are demolished and modified.

Therefore, although Gu's mansion has undergone major changes, the actual cost is not large, at least not as large as the outside world estimates.

Even so, the money Li Baolu earned from doing business with Bai Yitang just now was spent, and they would add all kinds of flowers and plants to the garden later, just thinking about the money that was about to be spent, Li Baolu felt a little sad.

It seems that her ability to make money can't keep up with the speed of spending.

But no matter what, their home has become very beautiful now, and the new house for Master and mother is also ready, just waiting for good news from Master and his elders-although he has not yet succeeded in chasing people.

"The yard has been set up, but nothing else has been prepared." Li Baolu thought for a while and said, "There is a small kitchen in their yard, so the couple must have a chance to be alone. How about hiring a cook for them?"

"You don't have to worry about it, his wife will take care of it." Gu Jingyun couldn't see that she was working hard for others, and he was willing to do this for Zhao Ning because he wanted to give him a birthday present on his birthday, otherwise Gu Jingyun wouldn't let his wife worry about it .

"But you're right. Husband and wife really need a chance to be alone. In the future, let Weizhen and Jingxi go to have dinner with their senior brothers. They don't have to come to our place every day. The journey is far away, and it's a waste of time."

Li Baolu: ...

Qu Weizhen and Qu Jingxi, who didn't know that they were disgusted, were counting their pocket money, Qu Weizhen whispered to her younger brother: "I asked the teacher, she said that we can send letters through the post station, or we can entrust the escort to send letters." People bring things. Escorts are more expensive, but the speed is faster, but I think the post station is also good, safe and will not lose items."

Qu Weizhen touched the broken silver in his hand, and said reluctantly: "I have made up my mind, I bought fine cotton cloth for the eldest sister and the others to make clothes and send them, and then I bought nodding flowers for the eldest sister, second sister and younger sister, especially for the eldest sister. , she will get married in a few years."

Qu Jingxi said: "I also make clothes for my father and mother. My father has bad legs and feet. I want to buy some medicinal wine for him, and I will also bring a catty of brown sugar to my mother, so that she can drink it when her stomach hurts, so that she doesn't have to ask for help." Auntie."

Qu Weizhen didn't listen to what his younger brother said, but lowered his eyes and thought for a while, "Let's hire someone from the Escort Bureau. When you send too much, you can secretly entrust him to send some money to the eldest sister and second sister after you get acquainted. It’s always good to have money around you.”

Hearing her sister's murmur, Jingxi thought for a while, then took out a small piece of silver from his money and stuffed it to her, "Third sister, take it, secretly give it to the eldest sister and second sister, and let the escort bureau Uncle, be careful, don't let your parents know."

Qu Weizhen came back to her senses, touched her younger brother's fattening cheek and said, "Xiao Bao, sisters are very lucky that you are our younger brother."

Qu Jingxi blushed, lowered her head shyly and said, "It's Xiaobao's luck to have you as my sister."

Qu Jingxi hesitated for a moment and said, "Third Sister, the teacher told me the story of three people becoming tigers last night."

Qu Weizhen nodded, "The teacher told me too, haven't you heard enough, let me tell you again?"

Qu Jingxi shook her head and whispered: "I thought, since three people can become a tiger, can I create a three people to become a tiger? I wrote to my parents and said how people outside treat my daughter well, and how my daughter will treat her." How to be filial to your parents, every time you list different families and different people, you say it too many times, can you convince your parents and treat them better?"

Qu Weizhen froze for a moment, frowned and asked, "Is this possible?"

It's not that she doesn't believe this method is useful, but that she doesn't think this method is useful for her parents. She knows best how much they despise them.

The more books he read, the more Qu Weizhen thought.

Her parents are not just patriarchal. Although other parents are patriarchal, they still love their daughters, and they still regard their daughters as their own flesh and blood.

But her parents are not. She has a keen mind and can feel that her parents don't treat them as daughters, or even as human beings.
