Chapter 2223: Inside the Guizijuan mansion
Holding the letter in her hand, Daiyu pursed her lips and stood up, walking to the window, filled with joy.
Outside the window, there is a clump of day lilies, a few poles of bamboo, and a few banana leaves.
The scene that seemed a bit gloomy at first seemed to become vivid all of a sudden.
It looks like my husband will be back soon.
Daiyu also knew that Baochai must have received a letter from her husband, but she was not too jealous. The letter to her must be the most special. She could feel her husband's care and love for her in the letter. Tonight she Can have a wonderful sleep.
Miaoyu and Xiuyan were both pregnant, which put some pressure on Daiyu for a while. However, as Zijuan said, the eldest and second spouses were probably more stressed at this time. After all, Miaoyu and Xiuyan were both pregnant. It belongs to my own room, and nothing can change this.
Daiyu also knew that once her husband came back, she should work hard. Thinking of this, her cheeks felt slightly warm.
Mr. Xianggong also mentioned in the letter the renovation of the original Rongning Second Residence. He probably considered that the population might increase after he returned, and it might be a bit crowded here now.
Rong Ning's second house has actually been renovated since the end of last year, but the progress of the renovation was not fast, so I didn't pay much attention to it. It was Baochai who was more worried.
In addition, Sister Shen’s sister has been there twice and was very impressed by the original scale of Rong Ning’s Second Residence. She is also very optimistic about the composition of the original Rong Ning Second Residence’s layout that can be appropriately re-planned, renovated and expanded.
This made Daiyu a little more interested, and she went there twice later, but this time Brother Feng specifically mentioned this matter, and Daiyu was also moved.
It seems that my husband may want to consider moving after he comes back. Now one door and three rooms are crowded here. As the population grows, many more servants will come in. If the second sister gives birth to a child, if Miaoyu Xiuyan also gives birth to a child, After giving birth to a child and having servants to serve them, the yard the two of them live in now seems too small, so maybe they should move there.
“Purple cuckoo.”
Daiyu called out softly.
"Girl." Zijuan came in from the outer room. When only the master and servant were there, Zijuan was more accustomed to using the original title.
“Did Sister Ribao go to Rongning Street again a few days ago?”
"Well, I have been there and spent half a day there. I met Xiangling. I heard from Xiangling that Miss Bao is very concerned about the progress of the transformation there. She basically goes there two or three times a month. But the girl is I haven't gone there once in two or three months." Zijuan glanced at Daiyu: "Why is this girl so interested today, but the uncle mentioned it in the letter? When will the uncle and the others come back?"
"If I have time, I will go over and take a look in the afternoon." Daiyu nodded: "I believe the letter didn't say it, but I feel it won't be long. Originally I thought it would be at least early next year, but now it seems like it won't be Like, maybe my husband can come back after a while."
Zicuckoo covered her mouth in surprise: "Girl, really?"
"Shh, keep your voice down. This is just my feeling. I believe I didn't mention it in my letter. It just urged me to go there and have a look myself. I need to choose each courtyard and complete the expansion and maintenance as soon as possible. I I was thinking that if it's still early, why should I be so anxious?" Daiyu pouted, "So I also asked Sister Bao about it this afternoon, and she must have gotten some news."
Daiyu glanced at her personal maid with admiration, "Zicuckoo, you are very attentive. Sister Shen really likes Ningguo Mansion, Doufengxuan, Ningxixuan, Huifangyuan, and Tianxiang Tower. She said The water surface there is larger than that of Rongguo Mansion. If they are combined and re-planned and constructed, it will definitely be better."
"No matter how nice Grandma Shen is, she wouldn't want to live over there in Ningguo Mansion, right? It's too far over there." Zijuan thought attentively and said, "Even if the two sides are connected and combined, how will all the grandmothers in the third room come here in the future?" We need to consider the allocation of courtyards early. I wonder if the girl still plans to live over at Xiaoxiang Pavilion?"
Daiyu hesitated for a moment and nodded: "In my heart, I would rather live in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, but I'm afraid it will be smaller in the future, and Brother Feng always feels that the Xiaoxiang Pavilion is too secluded for my body. It was unfavorable, so I was asked to change the environment, and if I didn’t change, the Xiaoxiang Pavilion would have to be renovated, so I was very hesitant.”
"If the girl really wants to live over there in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, then I'm afraid she will have to make major changes in the orientation of the house, the doors and windows, and the surrounding flowers and trees. I also understand what I mean. I hope the girl can see some sunshine. It's best. You can open the window to see the sun, and the floor is spacious, which is convenient for girls to move around..." Zijuan hesitated for a moment, and finally whispered: "There is also the villa for relatives. I heard the uncle said that there are so many empty rooms there. It’s really a pity. In the future, we don’t need to call it the Provincial Villa. With some modifications, we can let all the grandmothers live in it. Maybe I want the girls to live in it.”
Seeing the somewhat unclear meaning in Zijuan's eyes, Daiyu was stunned for a moment, then came back to her senses and muttered briefly: "Zicjuan, what do you mean, who lives in which building in the provincial villa?" If you don’t live there, do you still have to pay attention?”
Zicuckoo lowered her head and remained silent. After a while, she shook her head: "I dare not say this nonsense, but since I want the girl to live in it, I must have a purpose. If Grandma Shen and Miss Bao both move in, Now, even people like Miss Qin have moved in, what will outsiders think? I can guarantee that if there is a chance, Miss Qin will definitely be willing to move in."
Daiyu said with some confusion: "Zicjuan, although there are many houses in the provincial villa, you also know that it is not comfortable to live in it, and it is not a single family house, which is inconvenient in many cases. Talking about Sister Shen and Bao Are the sisters willing to live in it? As for Xue Baoqin, I understand what she is thinking. She just wants to prove that she is the number one person after Sister Shen, Sister Bao and me. She even wants to overpower me, or maybe she feels The pressure brought by the third and fourth girls?"
Zijuan raised her eyebrows and said, "Has the girl also seen what Grandma Shen meant?"
"The fourth girl runs to Sister Shen all the time. A fool can guess something. Now that the Jia family is in this situation, the fourth girl used to be cold-hearted and muttering about becoming a monk. Now if she can have such a destination, , there’s nothing wrong with it, not to mention that she and Sister Shen are quite compatible in their painting skills, so they must be able to get along well together if they really enter the long house.”
Daiyu knew that it was not just herself. In fact, many people inside and outside the house had seen this. Baochai, Tanchun, Li Wan, and even her ancestors and aunts had also seen this, but they all understood it tacitly. Remaining silent, his attitude is not obvious. If it can be done, it will give this girl a way out.
"Girl, it's good that the girl understands the uncle's thoughts. Miss Qin likes to play tricks. The uncle knows it very well and doesn't care about her. But the same can't be said for you, girl. You not only represent you, but also the third bedroom, and Others are also at risk with you, not to mention that people like Miss Qin are not so measured and are very likely to push their limits, so you can't give in easily..."
Zijuan is not the kind of aggressive and competitive character, but she also knows that she must not give in easily to Xue Baoqin, otherwise she will definitely ride on her head and shit, and the situation will only get worse, so she might as well maintain it from the beginning. Restrained tit-for-tat, perhaps this can make Xue Baoqin restrain himself.
Daiyu smiled, "Zijuan, when did I say I was going to give in? As for the others, I gave in as long as I gave in. To Bao Qin, I couldn't give in even if I wanted to. Besides, Brother Feng values this so much. , how could I not care? I just think that the provincial villa looks beautiful, but it may not be comfortable to live in. Unless Brother Feng insists that we live there, I would rather live in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion. The worst is to change the Xiaoxiang Pavilion. , expand, expand..., of course, the premise is that Baoqin cannot live in it, that is transgression!"
Hearing what Daiyu said, Zijuan felt at ease. Although the girl didn't like such trivial things, she couldn't avoid it in that position. Fortunately, the girl was smart and could reveal such things easily. , no need to say much, but also know the appropriateness, which is the most gratifying thing.
"Girl, this kind of thing must be well known to me. Even the two ladies and aunts will not allow the rules to be broken. As long as you are aware of this, there will be no big problem. I am afraid that you will not know the details and be misunderstood by others." take advantage of."
Daiyu took Zijuan's hand and said, "I understand. Even if you don't understand, you won't make a decision easily. You can't let outsiders take the lead."
"It's good that the girl understands in her heart." Zi Juan breathed a sigh of relief, "If the uncle comes back soon, there are many things that the girl may wish to take a look at first, try them out, experience them for herself, and make a good choice."
Daiyu thought for a while, "In the afternoon, I asked Sister Shen and Sister Bao to go there and have a look. I haven't gone there since the partition wall in the middle of Rongning's second mansion was demolished. I heard that when the middle was demolished, the water surface was all gone." It’s comparable to the pond in Brother Feng’s hometown in Linqing. The water is shining, the scenery is much better than before, and the Aojingxi Pavilion is more elegant. I recall the good times when I played with Yun Yatou in the Aojingxi Pavilion. I don’t know what’s going on with Girl Yun now. In just a few words, Brother Feng didn’t say much,..."
Speaking of this, a look of longing appeared on Daiyu's face. Brother Feng should take good care of Yun Yatou, right?
I still overestimated my recovery ability. My head still hurts a little. I will update today and work hard tomorrow.
