Chapter 192: The Whole Garden

Sima Yulou only attacked the title, but there was no official status, and there was no need to go to the court every day, and the matter of opening up the Western Regions trade road has now been announced to the court, and the emperor issued an edict to order Weiyuan Marquis Fan Ning to start repairing the road, and Sima Yulou contacted merchants from all over the country to discuss business transactions.

The negotiations between Yishantang and Hu Shang were already open, and Cheng Lei often sent people to meet him in the mansion, and sometimes came in person. There are also those who secretly inquire about all kinds of news and intelligence, and the business of Yishantang in various places, all of which must be handled by him personally.

So on the surface, although he is an idle prince, he is actually busy sometimes. During this time, because he was busy with the big wedding, Cheng Lei had come to him as little as possible, and only summarized the matter and ordered someone to show it to him.

Jin Yi stood on the steps and urged him: "Go quickly, I will talk to my mother for a while." ”

Sima Yulou looked at her with a smile, "I'll be back in a while, you wait for me to pick you up." ”

There are many tall phoenix tail bamboos planted in the courtyard of Qinxinlou, and the bamboo shadow is mottled, which makes the courtyard deep.

Jin Yi watched him stride out of the courtyard gate, and looked at the quiet bamboo shadow in the courtyard for a while, then turned around and walked into the side hall where the concubine usually lived.

As soon as the two of them went out, Yun Hui sat down next to the concubine, muttering dissatisfiedly, "Mother, Yulou spoiled her a little too much." She is still a bride, and she was sent to Yulou like this in front of her mother, which is too undignified. ”

The concubine glanced at her, and her tone was slightly indulgent, "You have to get along with her well in the future, don't be angry." …… As long as Yulou likes her, and I think this kid is capable. ”

"She'......" Yunhui opened her mouth and swallowed the words back.

Last night, the nurse Shen Mama came over and told Jinyi how to arrange the things in the room one by one. Yunhui didn't expect Jin Yi to understand her scruples about the concubine, and even directly pointed out that she really didn't want her mother to know that she was at odds with her, but as soon as she saw her purple eyes, she couldn't restrain her disgust in her heart.

When Jin Yi walked in, she saw that Yunhui's face was a little unkind, she pretended not to know, and sat aside to talk to the concubine quietly.

"Yesterday, Yulou took you to the back garden to see, right?" The concubine said to Jin Yi: "I haven't bothered to care about it in the past few years, the gardeners in the house have come and gone back a few times, and I don't know how to clean it up, you are most familiar with these flowers and plants, and I will leave it to you to take care of it in the future." ”

Jin Yi smiled and nodded: "I went to see it yesterday, although the flowers in the garden are a little bad, but those trees are growing well, especially the bamboos on the edge of the flower hall, which are the same as those in my mother's yard, are all green and oily." ”

Yunhui said: "Mother loves bamboo the most, the phoenix tail bamboo in this yard is still my father specially found it from Shu for my mother, also called the organ phoenix tail, the sound of the wind blowing through the bamboo body is as beautiful as music." ”

Jin Yi was slightly surprised when she saw that she took the initiative to talk to herself, and nodded in response to her: "It's really good." ”

The concubine said: "I thought that if the garden behind me was tidied up, I would often hold banquets and entertain guests in the house in the future, and put it in the garden." ”

Jin Yi said: "The topography of this garden in our house is excellent, when the garden was built, it was indeed ingenious, and there are hot springs, and it will be cleaned up in the future, and there will be flowers blooming all year round." Compared with the garden in the Zhenguo Mansion and the Right Minister's Mansion, the place is big, not to mention, you can also take a boat trip to the lake, which is the most suitable for a banquet. ”

Yun Hui slapped her palms and smiled: "Mother also said yesterday that there will be a banquet for a few days, I have thought about it, May 19 is my mother's birthday, although it is not a whole birthday, but it is also to be put on a display, and then the birthday banquet will be set up in the garden." ”

The concubine smiled and shook her head: "It's eleven today, the garden is so big, where can I clean it up in seven or eight days." ”

Yunhui looked at Jinyi with a smile: "It is said that Sister Yi is proficient in planting art and is the best at raising flowers, and the garden is not to plant trees, but to plant some flowers, I think seven or eight days are enough." It's rare that I'm also at home this year, and I want to give you a good birthday celebration, but if it is placed in front of the main hall, it will not be so lively. ”

Jin Yi thought that the concubine had been alone in the past few years, and it was rare that she was willing to feast in the mansion now, and it happened to be her birthday.

Although he felt that Yun Hui's words seemed to mean to see his own jokes, he still said to the concubine: "Although the time is tight, it is not impossible, the most important thing is that this year's mother's birthday banquet must be done, and the garden will be handed over to the daughter-in-law." ”

The concubine still shook her head, "You have to go back tomorrow, so you will go for two more days, where can you do it in four or five days?" ”

Jin Yi thought for a while and said: "If the flowers in the garden are planted now, it will be too late, even if it is a cutting, it will take a month to bloom, and now there is only this method of transplantation." Today, I instructed the gardeners in the house to start fertilizing the land, and sent people to the flower field outside to choose flowers and plants, and I can plant them when I come back the day after tomorrow, presumably there will be enough time. Mother rest assured, the daughter-in-law will do her best, and she will not delay the birthday banquet. ”

Yun Hui saw that she really had a feasible way, but a little stunned, half-believing in her heart, living in Beisai in recent years, the house also invited a florist to cultivate flowers in the garden, I heard the craftsmen say that it is extremely difficult to transplant flowers and plants in summer, the garden in the Anbian Hou's mansion, it took a year or two to plant properly, she actually said that it could be done in a few days, not to please the mother for a while.

I thought in my heart that if I really couldn't hold a banquet in the garden on the nineteenth day, I could also set up a banquet in the main hall of the former mansion, so as not to miss the birthday. It's also good to keep her feet busy for a few days. Then he laughed, "You should come down, I will send a letter in the next two days, if the garden is not cleaned up by then, and my mother's birthday is delayed, I will be punished." ”

Jin Yi smiled gently, "Sister County Lord, rest assured, if it is delayed, Jin Yi is willing to accept punishment." ”

Yun Hui looked at the concubine proudly, "Mother, this is what my sister should inherit." ”

The concubine looked at the two people in front of her for a while, and finally nodded in response.

Yun Hui instructed the rouge behind him, "You go and ask the steward to come over, and then arrange for the craftsmen to listen to the princess's orders." ”

Rouge promised to go, she stood up and said to Jinyi: "The steward will come in a while, and I have to arrange someone to go to the flower field, I don't understand this, you go with me to meet it." ”

The concubine said: "Sister Yi'er go and have a look, if you want to use people and money, just look for Yunhui." He also instructed Yun Hui to say, "You have to help take care of it." ”

Yun Hui laughed, "Mother, don't worry. (To be continued.) )
