Chapter 375 Are you polite?
Mr. Ji glanced at him, and Xiao Xiaoxiao said nothing.
Taking them around the courtyard, they looked up and saw the three characters "Ting Yu Xuan" written on the plaque at the gate. Butler Lu quickly explained, "This is also the plaque specially chosen by our princess. Originally, it was "Yi Yang Zhai", but the princess said these two characters were too boring, so she brought the servants to rearrange it herself.
As soon as you step into this carefully decorated courtyard, your eyes are filled with vitality.
A group of servants were busy planting a bamboo forest. They stopped to greet them when they saw them come in. The green bamboos in front of them were arranged in rows and in an orderly manner, quietly outlining a picture of a mountain residence far away from the hustle and bustle, and it even had a bit of the flavor of his small home in the mountains.
In this situation and this scene, if you didn’t say this is Prince Zhuo’s Mansion, you would think you have stepped into a paradise.
The old man raised his eyes slightly, a barely perceptible smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he praised softly, "This place is nice, your princess is thoughtful..." As for the others, haha.
"As long as the old man is satisfied, I heard the princess and the craftsmen say that the theme of the renovation of this courtyard is to cater to the deep yearning for tranquility in one's heart. However... this renovation will take another two or three days, and I am afraid that it will disturb the old man's peace. Would you two like to choose a courtyard to live in temporarily?"
The old man raised a meaningful smile, as if he had his own ideas. "It's okay. Your princess is very elegant."
"Oh! That's what the old man said. Since the princess came back, the mansion has been completely renovated. Even the manpower has been redistributed. The vacant courtyards have been cleared and sealed. The princess said not to waste our manpower and resources. Haha, our princess is just considerate of the servants... Old man, please come this way. You live in the big courtyard."
After passing through the bamboo forest, there are two independent courtyards, one large and one small, with a wind and rain corridor in the middle. The design of a courtyard within a courtyard allows two people to live together without disturbing each other. Each courtyard also has a guest courtyard, so even if friends come to visit, they don't need to stay somewhere else.
Passing through the corridor, one will find a different world inside "Tingyuxuan". There is a large artificial lake in the backyard, with weeping willows swaying in the wind and towering old trees surrounding the lake. The servants have placed stone benches between the trees, and if you go further, there is even a chess table under some books.
"Was this also designed by your princess?" The old man squinted his eyes to feel the breeze and asked casually.
Housekeeper Lu had sharp eyes and instantly caught the satisfied look on the old man's face. He was secretly delighted and immediately helped his own princess to gain favor, "Report to the old man, it is indeed so! The princess is thoughtful. She has also specifically said that you will live in the mansion for a long time in the future. She is afraid that you will be bored, so she specially ordered people to secretly design several leisure places, saying that you can discover them by yourself in the future, in order to relieve your boredom..."
These words would warm the heart of anyone who heard them. Just when Butler Lu was feeling proud of his own wit, he suddenly met the old man's half-smile in the eyes. He felt a pang in his heart, wondering if he had been discovered.
Fortunately, the old man just took a look and walked forward again.
A group of people strolled leisurely along the lakeside, and soon, two quaint stone bridges came into view. They were placed on the lake, adding a touch of gentleness and elegance to the scenery of lakes and mountains. However, the wooden frames extending on all four sides looked a little weird, forming a wonderful contrast with the surrounding tranquil beauty, which aroused people's curiosity.
Just as they were about to go up to find out what was going on, a servant came from the rear to report that the princess had arrived.
The old man looked up at Butler Lu meaningfully and said, "Your master is quite interesting, pushing a pregnant girl to meet the guests... You too, you haven't made any progress at your age!" After saying that, without waiting for his answer, he turned around and walked towards the front yard.
The young man behind him never said a word, but just followed him closely.
Butler Lu immediately chased after him, but he was complaining in his heart. His master had never been liked by the old man before, which led to him being often angered. Today, knowing that this person was coming, the old prince pretended to be sick and did not go out, and the young prince went out for something. Did he really have to wait in front of the mansion with a pregnant princess?
What else can he do except take the lead?
The sun shines through the sparse clouds, dappling on the roof. Time seems to become soft and slow as light and shadow interweave in the bamboo forest. Shen Yu is very satisfied with her design. She once went to a private old house for a mission. The owner was a fan of ancient buildings, and the house was roughly arranged like this.
She should be able to learn a little bit by copying the old man, right? The old man should like it, too, right?
Watching the group slowly approaching, Shen Yu felt a bit more nervous than ever before. You know, the person in front of him is Lu Yingxing's grandfather, and also a father who lost his only daughter...
It is said that this man had always disliked the old prince, and the father-in-law and son-in-law had met only a few times. He suddenly came to the door. Shen Yu thought that the most likely reason was to settle the score. After all, the man's beloved daughter married despite opposition, and committed suicide for love with the son-in-law, but in the end the son-in-law didn't die, and Shen Yu had to send the black-haired son off with white hair...
Therefore, she strongly condemned the disloyal behavior of Lao Zhuo Wang for pretending to be sick, and she must withhold his food! !
As he approached, Mr. Ji could sense the momentary tension of the woman opposite him. He smiled and said, "Why? You don't want to call me grandpa?"
Shen Yu immediately came back to his senses, put on a professional smile, and saluted, "Grandfather, how are you!"
She has a gentle voice and graceful manners, and she plays the role of a good wife.
"Did you choose the yard?" the old man asked with a smile.
Shen Yu choked, not understanding what was going on, and nodded blankly, "Yes."
"Have you asked your father-in-law about this? Do you know why there has never been a courtyard of mine in Prince Zhuo's Mansion?"
Her heart tightened, damn, she really didn't know about this! !
Staring at the old man's kind smile, Shen Yu looked at him for a long time without seeing any intention of explaining, so he had to bite the bullet and said, "Grandfather is my mother's father. This is my mother's home, and naturally it is also my grandfather's home. I don't know about the past, but since I am the head of Prince Zhuo's Mansion now, I have to follow my rules. My rules are: family members should live together."
She said it as a matter of course, but the old man suddenly laughed out loud.
He laughed and looked at her, as if she had told some huge joke.
Shen Yu, "????" Are you polite?
After laughing enough, the old man waved back and said, "You are right! A family should live together! Ruilin, help me into the new home!"
Suddenly he turned around to look at Shen Yu, snickered twice and said, "You come too!"
Shen Yu was confused by his actions, and for a moment she forgot the nervousness in her heart. Anyway, she was not wrong. Even if she was wrong, it was because her father did not tell her in advance, so she was not wrong! !
After realizing this, Shen Yu's steps seemed natural and right.
