What Lin Wan didn't expect was that the Seven Princes' Mansion given to Zhou Tianqi by Zhou Changan turned out to be the old mansion of the Feng family that had been abandoned for more than eight years.

In the early days of the founding of the Great Feng Kingdom, the Feng family was the founder of the country, and Zhou Gaoyi originally intended to give the Feng family the title of king, but was rejected by Feng Qianlin and only named a general.

However, the mansion that Zhou Gaoyi gave to the Feng family is of the same specifications as the palace, and it is also on the west street of the palace, not far from the eldest princess's mansion. It's just that because the old mansion of the Feng family was originally very low-key, and it has been abandoned for a long time, the vermilion paint on the gate has fallen off, and the plaque has been taken off. The two towering trees in front of the door almost blocked the face of the door.

Therefore, over the years, no one has noticed this old mansion of the Feng family, which has been beautiful for decades, and even everyone has forgotten about it. Lin Wan passed by there many times, and never noticed.

The people have a good memory, but they also have a great sense of forgetfulness. In the first two years after General Feng's death, there were still people who spontaneously went to worship in front of the old mansion of the Feng family. However, after being driven out several times by the officials of the Kyoto Prefecture, the people stopped going. Now that eight years have passed, the older generation may still remember the kindness of General Feng in their hearts, but they will no longer worry about the Feng family's old mansion that no one cares about.

If it weren't for the fact that there was no house on Wangfu Street that was suitable for Zhou Tianqi to be the Seventh Prince's Mansion, Zhou Changan would not have reopened the old mansion of the Feng family, and he didn't want the people to remember the Feng family again, and then associate Zhou Tianqi and the Feng family together.

However, the old mansion of the Feng family has been abandoned for so long because it is not suitable for any prince. Except for Zhou Tianqi, no matter who lives in it, it will definitely be opposed by the imperial historians and criticized by the people.

After reading Zhou Tianqi's diary, when Lin Wan walked out of his room, it was already Shen Shi. Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu haven't left yet, waiting for Lin Wan's reply.

Lin Wan thought about it, found Dark, and asked him to draw the detailed architectural drawings and some decorative arrangements of the Feng family's old mansion from memory.

After listening to Lin Wan's words, Dark immediately frowned, scratched the back of his head, and said embarrassedly: "Miss, you let me say it, I can say it in detail, every corner and every arrangement of the Feng family's old mansion, even the secret passage, the dark room, and the secret grid, I can explain it clearly." However, if I draw it, you will be a little embarrassed for me. ”

Lin Wan nodded with a smile and said, "It's okay, then ask Uncle Dark to tell me, I'll draw, if the painting is wrong, Uncle Dark will correct me again." ”

Dire nodded happily and agreed, Lin Wan ordered Qingtong to move the bookcase and pen, ink, paper and inkstone to the yard and put them in place, and then draw a picture in front of everyone in the winter sun.

Lin Wan first used a charcoal pen to sketch, and although the lines were simple, they were very clear. The drawings are very professional at first glance, and the proportions and structures are very accurate and clear.

After the memories and corrections of Dark, Zhao Liniang, Xiao Wu, and Xiao Liu, four people who had seen the Feng family's old mansion, Lin Wan quickly drew the original appearance of the Feng family's old mansion.

Then, according to his own ideas, Lin Wan drew a complete decoration drawing and some new partial design drawings. On the basis of not completely changing the original appearance of the old mansion of the Feng family, the Seven Princes' Mansion was designed into a garden-style palace that was both beautiful and comfortable, and magnificent.

Zhao Liniang looked at Lin Wan's design drawings, couldn't help frowning slightly, pointed to a few places, and asked in a low voice with some hesitation: "Wan'er, on your design drawings, in addition to the palace in the main house, there are study rooms, guest rooms, piano rooms, chess rooms, calligraphy and painting rooms, lounges, even ancestral halls, Buddhist halls, medical halls, pharmacies, warehouses, and subordinate rooms have all been thought of, but there is only a room without a side concubine and concubine room. If Lu Manting found out, what would she think?"

Lin Wan frowned slightly, looked at the drawings and hesitated for a moment, but he was unwilling to change them, handed them to Xiao Liu, and said non-negotiablely: "Xiao Liu, give this drawing to the apocalypse, just say that this design is just my unilateral meaning." If he has any opinions, he can change them himself, and then hand them over to Master Li to do so. Nothing that Lu Manting was allowed to put in the Seven Princes' Mansion, nor could she be allowed to enter the gate of the Seven Princes' Mansion one step further. ”

When Xiao Liu heard this, he immediately happily accepted the order and said, "Yes, Miss, Xiao Wu and I will definitely bring back your words word for word." After a pause, he asked in a hesitant low voice, "Miss, don't you have anything else for us to take back?"

Lin Wan was stunned, it's right to think about it, Zhou Tianqi gave so many New Year's gifts to himself, if he didn't say anything, wouldn't it seem very rude?

So, Lin Wan returned to his room, took out a thick stack of drawing paper from under the pillow, then packed it in a bamboo tube, sealed it with kraft paper, and finally took out a red ribbon and tied a beautiful double heart knot at the seal of the bamboo tube.

Lin Wan walked out of the room, handed the bamboo tube to Xiao Wu, and instructed: "Give this to the apocalypse, and don't let anyone see the things inside except for the apocalypse." ”

"Yes, Miss, my subordinates obey!" Xiao Wu bowed down to receive the order, took the bamboo tube in Lin Wan's hand with both hands, and took out a piece of black cloth from his arms, wrapped the bamboo tube, carried it diagonally on his shoulder, and tied a slipknot firmly on his chest.

Lin Wan thought for a while, and then instructed: "When decorating, when it comes to places with secret passages, dark rooms, and secret grids, don't use people from the labor department, it's best to find a few trustworthy people to complete it." Otherwise, those dark passages, dark rooms, and dark grids will have no meaning of existence. ”

"Yes, miss, my subordinates understand. Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu responded in unison, packed up their things, and were about to leave.

Zhao Liniang left them here for dinner, and they also waved their hands again and again, saying, "Thank you Madame for your kindness." However, His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince is still waiting for us to go back to restore our lives, and we have to hurry back to Beijing. ”

The hidden soul also said goodbye to Lin Wan and said, "Miss, my subordinates should go back to Beijing with Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu, and we can take care of each other on the way." ”

Lin Wan nodded, smiled slightly, and said, "It's okay, I originally wanted to stay with you for a few more days, since Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu are in a hurry to go back, you can go together, and there is a companion on the way." ”

So, Wang Qi prepared some pastries and dry food for the hidden soul, Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu, and sent the three of them out of the valley of despair from the dark passage and rode away.

Because of the gifts and hearts received from Zhou Tianqi, everyone was very happy, and the atmosphere at dinner was even more enthusiastic.

Last night, the last ones who were awake were Lin Wan, Qingtong and Gale Wind. Therefore, everyone has already said before dinner today that Wang Qi and Diai will not drink tonight, and the two of them will stay to deal with the aftermath.
