Although it is only a temporary residence before marriage, and an annex after marriage, considering Zhao Mo's identity, the renovation project of this house certainly cannot be too casual.

Besides, Zhao Mo is now receiving the Holy Grace, and he doesn't know how long he will live in the capital. His fiefdom is in Suning, which is only a few hundred miles away from the capital, and he can reach it in a day or two. Whether it was remotely directing the affairs of the fiefdom or going back to deal with official business, it didn't take him much time. As long as the emperor still wants him to stay in the capital, then he will stay in that annex for a long time. Such a place of residence, naturally, should not be too complacent, and it is always good to make him feel comfortable.

Qin Hanzhen looked at the drawing, and the first thing he noticed was that this was a typical house facing north and south, and there might be certain defects in ventilation and lighting. Look at its east road again, it happens to meet the living water of the garden of Chengenhou Mansion flowing out, forming a culvert, the environment is relatively humid, if this place is used to live in people, it will definitely not be very comfortable. Coupled with the problems of ventilation and sunshine, Qin Hanzhen didn't know why the owner of the house in front of him chose to live here with his wife.

The courtyard of the residents on the east road is not big, and the school field is said to be full of weeds and gravel, for the health of Zhao Mo in the future, it is better to transform it into a place like a garden, make full use of the culvert on it, and lead the water to the ground, or form a small stream, meandering through the garden, which will definitely add some scenery to the garden. There is a good saying that a garden cannot live without water. There is no living water in the garden of Yongjiahou Mansion, there is only a small lotus pond, which raises some fish, as a scene, but the pond water has to be changed often to avoid smelling, which is very troublesome, and the three rooms of the Qin family do not like to go there. But the new garden of the Suning County Royal Mansion Annex can completely make up for this, and if grandparents want to come over to enjoy the scenery in the future, it is just a matter of lifting their feet.

Qin Hanzhen went to see the Middle Road and the West Road again. She felt that since this is an annex, not the main residence of the palace, then there is no need to follow the pattern of an ordinary house, what should be the front yard on the middle road, the main courtyard must be where the husband and wife live, and then where does the old man live, where does the son live, and where does the daughter live...... And so on and so forth. The annex is simply rebuilt as much as you like. The east road is going to be turned into a garden, so expand the garden a little, choose a few drier places, and build some pavilion terraces for people to live in. Living in the garden, the view is good, the mood will be good, and even the air is a little fresher than elsewhere.

By the way, there is also the location of the street crossing.

Qin Hanzhen recalled the location of the house across the street, because she couldn't tell how much land Zhao Mo had gotten, she could only roughly estimate that the front yard of the west courtyard would most likely be the location of the south building across the street. This building may have to be built with two or three floors, and three floors is the best, but it is too nonsensical to build a building like this, what use should it be used?

If the building is large and wide enough, some of it can be used as a storeroom. The northernmost small buildings of Yongjiahou Mansion and Chengenhou Mansion are almost all used in this way. But Qin Hanzhen felt that it might not be a smart move to change to Zhao Mo's annex. Before the county king's mansion was built, it didn't matter if he found a place to store Zhao Mo's family in the annex. But when the county king's mansion is built and the things are stored in the annex, when there are things needed for the main house in the future, is it possible to carry the items through the street and send them to the palace at the opposite door every time?

It's too troublesome! and it's too eye-catching. If you walk from the street building instead, up and down, moving and lifting, it is too inconvenient. It's better to repair the treasury directly in the county king's mansion!

Qin Han really felt that if a building was really going to be built here, it would be better to build a library building or something. It just so happened that the culvert passed under the ground of the house, and a stream of water was drawn around the building, and it could still prevent fire? Of course, the damp-proof measures must also be taken.

Qin Hanzhen thought of his grandfather Qin Bai's outer study, because there were more and more juniors who came to ask him for advice, sometimes she would go there to read books or calligraphy and paintings, and her grandfather Qin Bai sometimes wanted to read a book quietly for a while, or carve a seal, frame a painting or something, and she would inevitably be disturbed. However, it was natural for Qin Jian and Lu Chuming brothers who wanted to excel in the imperial examination to come to Qin Bai for advice, or to look for various reference materials, and Qin Bai was also very happy to guide them in their homework and lend them books to read. But as soon as he left people to study in the outer study, his own space was squeezed.

Qin Han really thought that if he could build a library in this annex and copy all the books about the imperial examination that his grandfather Qin Baiwai had in his study, then Qin Jian and the others would not have to go to the study when they wanted to check some information. This place is close to the Chengenhou Mansion and the Yongjiahou Mansion, Qin Jian and others can come over at any time, and when they encounter a problem that they don't understand, they can go to Qin Bai for advice, and it is the same.

Zhao Mo has a very good relationship with Qin Jian, and he gets along well with Lu Chuming and others, so he should not refuse to lend his collection. In addition, he himself loves to read, and likes to go to the outer study to borrow all kinds of books, and I heard that he is in the palace of Suning County, so he specially set up a courtyard as a study. Presumably he would love to have a place of his own?

Qin Hanzhen had even thought that with Zhao Mo's close relationship with the royal family, even if he didn't enter the East Palace in the future, he would be able to lend out the lone ancient book collected by Ouchi, copy a copy, and collect it himself. When the time comes, she will have the opportunity to read the contents of those precious books!

The more Qin Hanzhen thought about it, the more excited he became, and he felt that Zhao Mo should not refuse him, so he began to itch. She spread out a blank piece of paper, dipped her pen in ink, and began to conceive of the Suning Annex she envisioned. It is not rebuilt according to the structure of an ordinary house, but it also needs to have a place to live, perhaps a guest room, or a place to prepare for the accommodation of people such as the royal courtiers, doormen, guards, and subordinate officials in the future. For the comfort of Zhao Mo's life, it is best to rearrange the facilities such as water supply and sewerage. There are also flowers and trees planted in the garden, and the types should be carefully selected, so as not to bring poisonous plants such as oleander into it. Rockery, lake and stone, it stands to reason that there should be one, but Qin Han really thinks that the lake stone is too expensive, and it is too labor-intensive and material-intensive, which means that there are two or three small scenes to embellish it. Now that you have a building, you don't have to do anything like a rockery trail or a pavilion on the mountain. As a barrier, it can also be flowers and trees.

She had studied the boundary painting platform for several years, and she had already drawn it with her hands, and after half an hour, several pavilions had appeared on the paper, as well as the street outside the north wall, and the pavilion overpass, all of which were very detailed and realistic. She also even painted things such as rockeries, pavilions, flowers and trees, and drew a simple villain in the pavilion with a few strokes, looking at the style of dressing, it was clearly Zhao Mo who sneaked into her boudoir that day!

Feng'er came over with a bowl of almond tea: "Girl, let's eat something and paint again?" ”

Qin Hanzhen woke up and touched her stomach, she was indeed a little hungry, so she dropped her pen and turned her head to eat almond tea.

Feng'er looked at the painting she had just finished and said with a smile, "The girl has painted so well! I've never seen anyone better than a girl!"

Qin Hanzhen laughed when he heard it: "How many paintings have you seen? The famous monuments I usually use to study, each one is better than me." You praise me so blindly, but it makes me blush with embarrassment. ”

Feng'er said: "We don't have to compare with the men outside, just the daughter of the boudoir in Beijing, no one can draw better than the girl!"

Qin Hanzhen sighed: "What is this? It's just a house, and a craftsman can draw it." Even if people outside really want to praise my calligraphy and paintings, they won't praise this one. They guess they'd be more happy to see my landscapes, flowers and birds, right?"

Feng'er said: "I don't understand this, I just think that the girl's painting is good, and it looks like a house in our Jiangnan, or a house in the garden." ”

"Jiangnan?" Qin Hanzhen blinked, looked down at his painting, and suddenly smiled, "You reminded me of this." I can indeed imitate more Jiangnan style. For example, the garden on East Road can be used with a variety of bamboo, flowers and trees, plus living water, and it will definitely be very cool in summer, so this annex can be used as a place to escape the heat. There are also whole houses scattered, and it is better to build a few more winding corridors to connect all the houses. Even if it rains or snows, you don't have to go out in the wind, rain and snow, and you can walk around the annex as you like by walking through the verandah......

Qin Hanzhen didn't even care about the remaining half bowl of almond tea, so he was engrossed in changing the picture and drawing all the ideas in his mind. She began to feel that if the renovated annex could really be as she pictured, then no matter how well the main mansion of Suning Wangfu was built in the future, she would be more willing to live in the annex for a long time.

The painted painting was quickly sent to Zhao Mo. After Zhao Mo saw it, he also liked Qin Hanzhen's idea very much, and he couldn't wait to move into such an annex immediately. It was Ah Shou who persuaded him: "This is almost demolished and rebuilt, but I'm afraid it will take a lot of effort, and I don't know if the prince of the county can live in it before winter." Why don't you first clean up a house where you can see people in another place, and the prince of the county will live in it temporarily, and when this annex is completed, it will not be too late to move? Otherwise, the prince and his step-concubine will soon enter Beijing, and I am afraid that the palace of the king of Liao will not be too peaceful. ”

"It's okay, the plan on the side of the main house won't come out for a while, let alone start construction, I'll live opposite first, it's the same. Zhao Mo didn't care, "In addition to the library building, there are not many houses in the annex, so it is much easier to rebuild it as it is." First of all, I asked someone to quickly demolish the old house and build several pavilions on East Road. Bamboo flowers and trees must be planted before autumn, otherwise it will be difficult to grow after the beginning of spring next year. When the construction of the main house started, I moved into a temporary house in the garden on this east road, and there was nothing to worry about. Ask someone to choose a place that is not damp to build a house, to build it spacious and comfortable, according to the instructions on the picture of Qin Sangirl, rebuild the water and fire walls, so as to save me from being sad in winter. ”

He looked at the picture drawn by Qin Hanzhen and looked at it again and again: "Look at this structure, it is very simple and understandable, if it is used well, our county palace will do the same, and the palace on the fiefdom is the same." Hey, how did you say the third cousin came up with such an ingenious idea!"

He was holding Qin Hanzhen's painting, praising and boasting, and unexpectedly heard another little servant A Xing come to report: "Lord Jun, there is news from Liaodong, the princess and princess have set a schedule, and they set off to Beijing on the first day of the sixth month, and they also brought two little princes, it is said that they will be married in Beijing." ”

Zhao Mo paused, and finally diverted his attention from Qin Hanzhen's painting: "It's here." Told me to wait a long time!"
