Chapter 344: Frolic
Don't think that Qin Han really doesn't know what Zhao Mo is thinking.
This courtyard, although this winter and the first half of next year, will be used as a temporary residence for Zhao Mo before the completion of the new county palace, but it is essentially a summer house, so naturally how to ventilate and cool how to come. By the time this winter comes, its owner will not have to worry about what to do if the house is not warm enough in autumn and winter, because next winter, the county king's mansion across the street will have been built. No matter how bad it is, there is also the county king's mansion that covers a wider area in the fiefdom. Is Zhao Mo still afraid that there is no warm place to live?
Even this winter, he doesn't have to come to Yongjiahou Mansion to ask for accommodation. It's October now, late autumn and early winter, although the county palace is about to start to be rebuilt, the projects that can be completed are very limited, and it is not necessary to tear down all the houses, leaving one or two yards, and preparing Zhao Mo to live when he needs it, which is just a matter of his words. Moreover, he has other properties in the city, and there are several Zhuangzi and other courtyards outside the city. Look at the pitiful way he spoke, in fact, it was just an excuse.
It's just that Qin Han really understands in his heart that if Zhao Mo really uses the new house as an excuse that it is too cold and uncomfortable to live in, and asks to live in the Yongjiahou Mansion, Qin Bai and the Niu family are likely to be soft-hearted. That's why she felt that this fiancé's routine was really too deep!
Qin Hanzhen stared at Zhao Mo: "My marriage with you is decided, everyone knows it, now that the wedding has not yet taken place, you will live in my house, are you not afraid of others gossiping? My grandfather is a person who pays great attention to reputation, he will not agree to you! You don't have a place to live, let the people from the Ministry of Industry leave you a few courtyards for the time being, and then talk about it in the spring after the year." ”
Zhao Mo looked at her with a blank eye: "Actually, the houses over there are very old now, and I am a little reluctant to live there, there is neither a fire wall nor floor heating, but I rely on a few charcoal basins for heating, which may not be much better than other courtyards." When I let them rebuild, I didn't tear them down and rebuild them all, but they just built on their original foundations. The main courtyard and front yard where I live have to be started first, and they must be completed before the wedding date next year. Other gardens and side yards or something, our family doesn't have much population, except for the places where the subordinate officials, guards and subordinates live, other yards are built slowly, but there is no need to rush. So...... I can't live in those low servants' quarters......"
Sounds like some of the truth......
Qin Han really couldn't help but hesitate. Seeing this, Zhao Mo took her hand and begged softly: "You see, we have been separated for several years, and I happened to think of the situation when I lived with you when I was a child, and I feel very nostalgic." Before we get married, you'll give me a chance to reminisce about the old days, okay?"
Qin Hanzhen's expression was blank, and he glanced at him: "You pretend to be pitiful again! You lived with me when you were a child, and you lived in the Qingfeng Pavilion of the Chengenhou Mansion next door! What does it have to do with the Yongjiahou Mansion? Before our family officially moved into the Yongjiahou Mansion, you had already gone to the fiefdom, right? I won't find a smarter one if I make excuses, so I won't be so easily fooled! If you really have no place to live, and you miss your childhood so much, it is better to live in the Qingfeng Pavilion." I'm sure Brother Lobby will promise you!"
Seeing this, Zhao Mo knew that he couldn't convince his fiancée, and he was not reluctant, and said with a smile: "I was so far-sighted, I was actually discovered by my cousin, my cousin is so smart!"
He held hands with Qin Hanzhen, walked slowly along the verandah, turned to the back of the main courtyard, and walked around the front yard. The buildings here are basically regular, no features, and basically follow the pattern of the old house, but it has been renovated and a few small courtyards have been added, without much effort, and it is no wonder that the craftsmen built it so quickly.
Qin Hanzhen found that the small courtyard in front of the east of the main courtyard had been arranged with some basic furniture, such as tables, chairs, beds, cabinets, tables, etc., and even the curtains were hung, and there were also a lot of flower potted plants in the courtyard for decoration, and a tank of fish was placed in the center, and he suspected that this courtyard already had an owner.
Zhao Mo told her: "This is for my third brother Zhao Qi." My father doesn't like him much now, and throws people to me. I used the excuse of enlightenment to let him go home and study every day, but my father did not know when he would look at him unpleasantly, and would not allow him to enter the door again, so he first prepared a courtyard for him here in preparation for him to live in the future. Now he spends the night in the county king's mansion across the street from time to time, but he is a quiet child, very different from his biological mother. ”
Qin Hanzhen took a closer look at Zhao Mo's expression and found that he didn't seem to have any ill feelings towards Zhao Qi, and he could probably guess his thoughts in his heart. Wen's death was not caused by Lan Xue, so although he hated Lan Xue, he would not be unable to tolerate her son. Just like Qin Hanzhen herself, the He family killed the Guan family, but she couldn't forgive the He family, but she still tolerated the children of the He family, just because the child was innocent. Zhao Mo may have had extreme views on many things, but now he has also been influenced by her, and his mood has gradually calmed down.
It's just that no matter which son Zhao Shuo treats, it hurts to the bones when he hurts, and he gives up when he is disgusted, and he is ruthless, Zhao Mo is like this, and Zhao Qi is the same. Zhao Mo saw it in his eyes, and it was estimated that he would be in a very uncomfortable mood, right?
Qin Hanzhen held Zhao Mo's hand and said softly: "Since Zhao Qi is an honest child, then you can take him in." Although he didn't have a good father or mother, he had a good brother to love and care, which was also his creation. ”
Zhao Mo smiled and shook her: "You are right. Back then, I wish I had a kind-hearted brother, but unfortunately I was the eldest son and didn't have that blessing. However, without a good brother, I have a good grandfather, a good grandmother, and a good daughter-in-law to help me. In this way, my blessing is much greater than Zhao Qi's!"
Qin Hanzhen blushed slightly, and snorted at him: "Who is your good daughter-in-law?!"
Zhao Mo raised his eyebrows: "Isn't my good daughter-in-law flirting with me now?"
Qin Han really laughed angrily, and was about to shake off his hand immediately, but he smiled and coaxed her with a good voice, and when he saw her turn around to leave, he directly opened his arms and hugged her lightly. Qin Hanzhen was startled, he was half-hugged in his arms, and said with a red face: "Let go quickly!
Zhao Mo hugged her tighter: "Don't let it go!" unless you promise me, don't get angry anymore, and don't leave." Don't worry, no one else will see it here. ”
But Feng'er and Ah Shou are not far away, this courtyard does not have heavy courtyard walls, but is separated by some green bamboos, flowers, trees, mountains and stones, maybe they will see it!
Qin Hanzhen's face was far less thick than Zhao Mo's, and in desperation, he finally softened his tone: "Okay, I'm not angry, just don't leave!"
Zhao Mo let go of her with a smile, but whispered in her ear: "When I become a relative, I won't let it go, if someone sees it, they can see it!"
Qin Hanzhen's ears were hot, and he couldn't help but slap him, and it fell on him, but it didn't hurt.
The two frolicked for a while, and then continued westward hand in hand, and soon reached the library to the west.
It was originally the residence of the children and grandchildren of the previous owner, but several square courtyards side by side, although it has been demolished and rebuilt, but the foundation of the house has not been greatly moved, but the original foundation has been used to build five new wooden buildings, which are also connected by verandahs. These wooden buildings are separated from the living area of the east courtyard by a heavy bamboo forest, and the verandah in it is also tortuous and complex, isolating each other's sight, which is a place that is semi-open to the outside world. According to Zhao Mo, four of the five wooden buildings here are used to collect various books, calligraphy and paintings, and antiques, and one is specially used by Zhao Mo, the owner, to enjoy the scenery and recreation, and is located in the best position of the viewing angle of the whole courtyard.
The remaining fifth wooden building, right under the northern wall, was the only unfinished building in the entire courtyard, as it would not be topped out until the bridge connecting the north and south of the street was completed. And on the side of the county king's mansion across the street, there will be the same small building about to be built.
Zhao Mo told Qin Hanzhen: "I'm going to build the street crossing building first, and I will build it a year ago, so after I move over, I want to cross the street to inspect the progress of the reconstruction of the Junwang Mansion, and I don't have to go through the street." ”
Qin Hanzhen nodded and looked at the small buildings with appreciation: "Although it's only two floors, it looks a lot...... I don't even know if I'll find enough collectibles to fill them!"
Zhao Mo smiled: "How much can be filled, if you can't fill it, you don't have to force it." Our library is only for relatives and friends to see, and most of the time, we mainly use it. But I think that we will not lack books for other collections. Not to mention the books from my grandfather's side, even if it is the Ouchi collection, we can't borrow them. When the time comes, find someone to copy a few copies, and in a few years, our buildings will be filled up. There are people who are willing to do such a good errand!"
Qin Hanzhen couldn't help but yearn for it when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "If we really manage these library buildings well, maybe they will be passed on to future generations in the future, so that future generations can also benefit." In a place like the library building, what we are most afraid of is that it will be eaten by fire and insects, so we have to do a good job of protective facilities. By the way, what kind of bookshelves are in the building, and what kind of style?"
Zhao Mo led her into one of the buildings and introduced her to the materials used for the furniture and bookshelves in the building, although they were not particularly valuable wood, they were all solid and durable, and they also had some moth-proof functions. In order to facilitate access to the collection, some tools are also specially made in the building......
When Zhao Mo happily led Qin Hanzhen to visit the library of the new residence, Feng'er and Ah Shou, who were staying on the edge of the back door and retreating, were bored and ate the last melon seed that Feng'er brought with them, and could only drink a few sips of warm tea to relieve fatigue. The two of them looked at each other and sighed in unison.
What a hard time to wait!
Ah Shou asked Feng'er in a low voice: "In the past, when the prince and the princess of our county met, was my sister waiting by the side? Zhao Mo didn't like to take his entourage to meet his sweetheart, so he rarely suffered this kind of sin in the past, but now he feels more and more uncomfortable. He's actually quite busy......
Feng'er glanced at him: "What are you calling blindly? Who is your sister? I am much younger than you! Also, our girl is not your princess, pay attention to the title." ”
Ah Shou chuckled, glanced at Feng'er, and thought that this girl was quite interesting. Now that their masters have decided to get married, it is estimated that he will have the opportunity to work with Feng'er in the future, and he still has to have a good relationship with each other.
He was about to lean over to get closer, when he suddenly heard a sharp knock on the back door. He couldn't help but be stunned, and subconsciously glanced at Feng'er. Feng'er made a look: "Open the door quickly!"
Ah Shou hurriedly went to the back door to open the door, only to see Lian Rui crashing in directly, and he quickly avoided the side so that he was not bumped in.
Feng'er frowned behind Ah Shou and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
Lian Rui gasped and replied, "Uncle Wu has arrived, and he is looking for a girl in front of him!"
Feng'er and Ah Shou looked at each other.
