After eating, Yan Xiaoyue continued to copy books, and it was not until Jiang Siyan came back before dinner that she was let out of the study.

Jiang Siyan opened the scroll in his hand and spread it in front of Yan Xiaoyue, and said flatteringly: "This is the layout of the Jinyuan Garden that I asked people to design, take a look, what needs to be changed?" ”

Yan Xiaoyue looked at the design drawings carefully, anyway, she didn't have that talent, repairing the garden is a big project, not like repairing a yard, there are a lot of exquisiteness, sometimes a small garden is designed by professionals, the attic rockery is overlapped, the path is deep and secluded, the corridor is meandering, and the small garden is arranged everywhere, and the garden is big.

Yan Xiaoyue naturally knew that she had a few taels, and the small garden of Mu Mansion was just a random addition of flowers and plants to her previous pattern. Now such a big empty garden for her to fiddle with, it was really difficult for her.

However, although you can't design, it's still okay to add your own ideas to the designed drawings.

"The canal has been dug and the lotus root seeds have been planted, so this year we will be able to enjoy the lotus flowers and eat the lotus pods. A pavilion can be built on the side of this canal, and it is also a good place to rest or hold a lotus feast. ”

Jiang Siyan hurriedly picked up the pen and marked it on the drawing, "Look, this place has the widest canal surface, which is the most suitable for building a lotus pavilion." ”

Yan Xiaoyue pointed to a place and asked, "Is this the location of the cemetery?" ”

Jiang Siyan nodded, "Isn't it already fenced off for the choice here?" You've also planted white jade bamboos around, and you've got a lot of bamboo shoots this year. I can smell the fragrance from afar, but I am hungry. ”

"It's not easy to eat, just make a few sticks tomorrow."

Jiang Siyan hurriedly stopped, "Hey, don't, it's better to wait for the bamboo to grow and bear bamboo rice, don't waste it." ”

Yan Xiaoyue saw Jiang Siyan's love for bamboo rice, so she didn't talk about it anymore, anyway, she would do it directly tomorrow.

"Then plant some more fruit trees over here, like apples. Peach trees, apricot trees and the like. ”

"Aren't there a lot of them in your Zhuangzi? Is it still planted in the house? ”

"Zhuangzi is still too far away. It's also convenient to eat when you plant some in the house, and it's too wasteful to build a good scenery so far. ”

Jiang Siyan knew that his wife didn't want to see the cemetery, but there was no way to do it, so plant fruit trees. Not many people come here anyway. Don't be afraid to spread the jokes. After all, planting fruit trees in the house is really not appropriate.

Other mansions are planted with ornamental flowers, and even peach trees are trees that bloom well but do not bear much fruit. Not to mention apple trees, it is estimated that there are really few people who deliberately plant fruit trees in the house in order to eat fruits, and who doesn't have a few Zhuangzi.

The two discussed until the watch, Jiang Siyan put away the scroll, looked at Yan Xiaoyue's unfinished appearance, and said with a smile: "The garden can't be built in a day or two, if you have any ideas, just make up for it when the time comes, the more you talk about it after watching it for a long time, the more chaotic it becomes." ”

Yan Xiaoyue thought about it, and just now she was so excited that she almost overturned the original manuscript.

Jiang Siyan moved quickly, and the craftsmen entered the house the next day, saying that they were invited by the people of the Ministry of Works, who were quick and knew the rules, and they could hardly see their figures near Yanyueju, except for the occasional knocking sound, everything was as usual, and they didn't know that Jinyuan was building a lot of construction.

Outsiders don't know, but the people who pay attention to Jinyuan in the house are uncomfortable.

"Hmph, this is really the good granddaughter-in-law of the Jiang family, saying that she has thought about copying the Book of Filial Piety behind closed doors, you see, it has only been a few days, and there has been such a big movement, is this called thinking? Who else in this mansion will she Yan Xiaoyue enjoy? Old Madam Jiang listened to the discussion below, and returned to the room angrily.

"Ouch, my old lady, this brocade garden is now where the eldest young master lives, the eldest young master is a big pain in the palm of your hand, it has always grown by your side before, our garden here is not how good it is, but it has also been passed down from generation to generation by more than ten generations of Jiang Mansion, but that Jinyuan is a good name, it is said to be brocade, it is really similar to a wasteland, if it weren't for the old man to let the eldest young master marry there, the eldest young master would have to suffer that grievance."

Mama Ling looked at Jiang Ruan's face and softened a little, and gently patted Jiang Ruan's shoulder, "The eldest young master has also been accustomed to brocade clothes and jade food since he was a child, and he was helpless to live in that deserted garden before, but now the eldest young lady has been in the mansion for more than half a year, and the eldest young master can still bear it if he can move the ground, so he directly invited the waiter from the Ministry of Industry to help repair the garden." ”

"So the eldest young master wants to repair the garden?"

"Of course, haven't you heard what people say, as soon as the drawings of the Ministry of Engineering came out, people entered the mansion the next day, who else can do it so quickly except the eldest young master?"

Jiang Ruan's anger was dissipated at this time, and he nodded and said: "That garden has been deserted for decades, it's time to repair it, earlier Siyan was in a hurry, and it was indeed too wronged to live in such a Jinyuan, this time you can do it well, you go and hand over a message to the eldest young master, just say that if there is anything that the inner courtyard can help, send someone to say." He's a big man, who cares about this? ”

"That's it, you said that this young lady, Jinyuan wants to repair the garden, and she, as the hostess, doesn't come out to Zhang Luo, she only knows how to copy books in the room, which is really ignorant." Mama Ling pretended to scold, but her eyes had been paying attention to the changes in Jiang Ruan's expression, you must know that her grandson has started to study now, and he is very important.

Mama Ling knew that her grandson could have this opportunity, it was all the credit of the young lady, so she couldn't help with anything else, help the young lady say good things to the old lady, such a thing can still be done, although it is vague on weekdays, but as long as it is said on the point, the effect can be seen.

is like repairing the garden, if you blindly excuse Yan Xiaoyue, not only will it not help Yan Xiaoyue, but it will also make Mama Ling herself suspicious. Now, Mama Ling doesn't talk about Yan Xiaoyue, she only says that Jiang Siyan can't stand the desolation of Jinyuan, and Mrs. Jiang feels pity in her heart, so naturally she won't blame Yan Xiaoyue.

And in the end, Mama Ling's accusations seemed to blame Yan Xiaoyue, but she was not helping her.

Jiang Ruan frowned and asked, "Is it true that the young lady has been copying books in the room?" ”

"Isn't it, the news from Gu Ziqing that in the past ten days, in addition to eating, the young lady has even canceled her lunch break, and has been copying books in the study."

"Even if she still has some rules, Mama Ling, you bring a box of snacks made from the small kitchen to the eldest young lady. See what the young lady is doing? ”

Mama Ling hurriedly agreed, "Yes, the slave will go to the kitchen, and by the way, I will send some of the white cloud cakes made this morning, the eldest young master likes to eat the white cloud cakes here of the old lady." ”

Jiang Ruan nodded and said with a smile: "That's true, you will pretend to be a little more, the eldest young master has been so busy recently, and there is no one around to take care of him, I'm afraid I'm going to be tired and thin." “

As he spoke, he thought that he would send the winter hide at the beginning, and it has been more than half a year, and there is no news at all, so I don't know if the person is still there? "When you go, ask the eldest young lady, where is Dongzang, after so long, I am afraid that the rules should be learned, so let the eldest young doctor take Dongzang with him next time he comes to Jingrong Temple. Since you went up to serve the young lady, how could you not take it with you? “

Mama Ling secretly complained when she heard this, why did she suddenly mention Dongzang? (To be continued.) )
