Chapter 42 Discussion of Drawings (1)
Zhou Minghui lowered his head to take the drawings, glanced down at them, and then said in surprise and appreciation, "I heard that my sister is proficient in poetry, calligraphy, piano and painting, and I saw it today, sure enough!" This painting sister is really out of reach. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"My sister has won the prize."
For her appreciation, Ye Sultan just said perfunctory. and motioned for her to look down.
Zhou Minghui looked down page by page, smiling and nodding as she looked, as if she was very satisfied with the pictures.
After reading it, she picked up the first drawing again. It can be seen that this is a general map of the entire courtyard, and the next stack is a detailed map.
"My sister's set of pictures is simply exquisite, and my sister is very satisfied, but here... Zhou Minghui pointed to a certain place on the paper, raised his eyes to look at Ye Sultan, and his expression became serious, "If my sister is not mistaken, this is a small pond." The project of excavating the pond is not small, even if it is small, it really needs a lot of manpower and material resources to dig up, and the movement is not small. What we originally said was that I would only send red beans to help, and you would take care of the rest. The implication is that there is no excess manpower and material resources.
The excavation of the artificial lake was a huge project, and at that time, she was afraid that it would be too high-profile, which would attract criticism and suffer disasters, so she did not dare to start the construction. So I just painted the courtyard wall, built a simple verandah and pavilion, and then dug a well, although the project of digging the well is also large, but the well water is necessary, and others are not easy to say anything.
"Sister, this is a small pool, not a pond, the pond does not need to be too big, a zhang wide on the line, and only need a shallow layer, enough to raise a few fish, a few lotus plants, the project is not big, just a few of us can also do it, although it is very tiring work, but fortunately, there is plenty of time, you can dig slowly, when the bottom is pasted with mud, after drying, lay a layer of goose soft stone, and then release water, water for a few days, and then put a few koi or my sister's favorite fish. This will add some vitality to the yard. ”
Seeing that Zhou Minghui was moved, she continued, "Put the excavated soil here," stretched out her finger and pointed to the other side, "There is a small flat mound on this side of the soil, and some wild chrysanthemums are planted on the mound, with a variety of colors, so that it can also add a bit of wild atmosphere to the yard, which is unique." ”
"If you can make sure you keep it low-key, that's great. When it's finished, I'll give you another fifty taels. Ye Sultan said it so well, she sketched the scene in her mind, she had nothing to do on weekdays, she could come out to feed the fish, and this life was too good to resist.
Maybe as long as you keep a low profile and don't alarm the people in the main palace, you should be fine.
"Thank you, sister." Ye Sultan made no secret of her joy, and she didn't care that others said she was greedy for money. It's her hard-earned money.
"That sister, is there anything else you don't like?"
"Here, the roses on both sides of the cobblestone path have been changed to peonies." Zhou Minghui pointed to the drawings unceremoniously. She loves peony flowers, big love. On the drawing, the cobblestone path is flanked by water waves planted with colorful flowers, which is very beautiful, she has never seen it before. If it is replaced by her favorite peony flower, the scene must be beautiful.
"Good! I'll change it. Ye Sultan deserved to be very happy, and he immediately put pen to paper and revised it. The peony flower is the national flower regardless of the dynasty and is loved by women from all walks of life. Zhou Minghui changed like this, she was not surprised at all.
"What else?" After the change, Ye Sultan looked up and asked again.
