Because she had known that Xiao Pei was coming, Xiao Mansion had already prepared the courtyard where she lived, which was next to Xiao Yu's Qinghui Xiaozhu.

However, Xiao Yu had another arrangement in his heart.

Now that the county lord's mansion built by the holy decree has been completed, after learning that Xiao Yucheng has also gone to Changzhou and will not return to Nanyue for the time being, Xiao Yu plans to move to the county lord's mansion with Xiao Pei's sister and brother.

After all, although Xiao Yucheng's sister and brother and Xiao Yu are like brothers, they are not really from the Xiao family, and their family backgrounds are very different.

And if she lived in the county lord's mansion, it would have been Xiao Yu's mansion, and as the only real owner of the county lord's mansion, she would naturally say the same thing in the mansion, which was very different from the meaning of living in the Xiao family. As long as Xiao Yu instructs them to go down, Xiao Yucheng and Xiao Pei can also treat the county lord's mansion as the new home of the three of them as they did when they were in Niujiao Village before.

Besides, Emperor Qi gave the house, and Xiao Yu couldn't say that it was left vacant.

Besides, the distance between the Xiao Mansion and the County Lord's Mansion is not too far, and if Xiao Yu wants to come back to live, it is also very convenient to take the carriage.

Now that the decision has been made, Xiao Yu told the old lady about this idea first.

Although the old lady was very reluctant to her good granddaughter, as Xiao Yu said, it was really inappropriate not to live in the mansion rewarded by the saint, so she had to consider her sons and make comprehensive arrangements to avoid any mistakes.

For such a major event, a charter should always be negotiated.

Fortunately, when the county lord's mansion was completed before, there were already people from the capital. The layout of the mansion was regulated, and the gardens and houses were arranged, and now if you want to move in, you only need to ask a master to choose an auspicious day. Then you can move in after writing an excerpt and asking for the grace of the saint, but you don't have to let the people from the Ministry of Industry go again, which takes a lot of time.

It's just that the furnishings in the house, as well as the purchase of people, and the cultivation and maintenance of garden flowers and trees have to be done in advance.

As for whether to entertain guests later, it is also necessary to make arrangements.

After thinking about it so carefully, Old Madam Xiao immediately couldn't sit still, so she asked her to find a few sons to come over and discuss.

Now Xiao Kai and Xiao Wensong, father and son, and a few others are in the capital or released as officials. After Mrs. Xiao got well, she went back to work.

And Xiao Heng and Xiao Chuan in Changzhou knew that the old lady was looking for the two of them, and they didn't dare to slack off, so they hurried to Chunhui Hall to listen to their mother's instructions when they came back from the official office.

Old Madam Xiao told her baby granddaughter about her preparing to move into the county lord's mansion.

The two were slightly surprised. Soon after coming back to his senses, Xiao Chuan said: "My son thinks that this matter can be presented first, maybe the sage will let Qin Tianjian choose an auspicious day, so we don't need to find another master." Wait for Your Majesty's permission. The rest can be arranged separately. ”

Xiao Heng also agreed.

At that moment, Mrs. Xiao personally wrote the paperwork. I sent a letter to ask my eldest son Xiao Kai to fold it, and then it was agreed that in two days, a few people would first go to see if there was anything that needed to be repaired and rectified in the county lord's mansion without violating the regulations, so that they could be dealt with properly before moving in.

At the same time, the drawings of the county lord's mansion were also sent to Xiao Yu.

When Xiao Yu was in Lingnan, she had roughly seen the planning map of the county lord's mansion, and she was distracted by other things at that time, and she didn't feel anything. Now that she had the detailed drawings, she was a little surprised to find that the mansion seemed to be bigger than she had imagined. Moreover, the pavilions, rockeries, ponds and marshes should be complete.

There is even an acre of land in the garden.

Ling Yan next to her couldn't help but smile when she saw this: "Now Sister Ayu doesn't have to worry about having no land to plant in Changzhou, right?" ”

Hearing Ling Yan say this, Xiao Yu's face was hot. He said angrily: "Sister Yan, what are you talking about, when have I been worried about this?" ”

Ling Yan immediately giggled: "You didn't want to come to Changzhou in the first place, wasn't it because of this?" ”

Xiao Pei, who listened to it, couldn't help but laugh.

Xiao Yu hesitated before, of course, not because she was afraid of not having a field to plant, but she couldn't let go of Xiao Pei and Xiao Yucheng in her heart, and what happened later also confirmed her worries? At that time, it was just an excuse to remember the corn, but Ling Yan still remembered it, and she would take it out to make fun of her when she came.

Ling Yan smiled again: "I haven't been to your county lord's mansion yet, so I must stay for a few more days, and Sister Xiao and the two of you will watch you embroider your wedding dress." ”

Xiao Pei immediately asked with concern: "How is the embroidery of Ah Yu's wedding dress?" Shouldn't you have not moved a single stitch? ”

Seeing that the conversation was on the marriage again, Xiao Yu couldn't help blushing a little, and was busy talking about it, talking about going to the mansion together.

The two of them gladly agreed.

On this day, the sun was shining, and on the thick green trees on the side of the road, the summer cicadas were tirelessly screaming, which made people's hearts feel a little more bored for no reason.

The sun was scorching, there were few people on the road, and there were three or two who were in a hurry, and even the shops on the street had no buyers.

Fortunately, there was an ice basin on the carriage to dissipate the heat.

In fact, a few people were going to go early in the morning, and it was not so hot, but Xiao Chuan was delayed on official business, so he changed it to the afternoon.

Xiao Yu is really a little worried, will she get heat stroke when she goes to the garden on such a hot day?

It didn't take long for the group to arrive at the county lord's mansion, Xiao Yu looked out from the car, but saw that the long courtyard wall had already occupied a small half of the street, she was a little surprised, she foresaw that this county lord's mansion was not small, but she didn't expect it to be so big, it was completely unexpected by her.

For some reason, Xiao Yu's heart suddenly became apprehensive, and he couldn't help but ask Ling Yan: "Is this county lord's mansion so big?" ”

Ling Yan shook her head and smiled, "There are very few county lords of Great Qi who have a separate mansion, and I don't know how to compare. ”

At this moment, Xiao Yu finally knew why he was uneasy.

Since being named the county lord of Le'an, Xiao Yu has never thought that he can be in the position of county lord. The daughter of the Prince of Daqi is the lord of the county, but although she is from a famous family, she can't be called a noble girl with royal blood, right?

At that time, the holy decree said that it was in recognition of her work in planting corn, but now that she thinks about it carefully, she is not the only one who grows corn, why is her reward so heavy? It even exceeds the specifications of ordinary county lords, and there is no known reason for it.

Xiao Yu thought about this, and his face was a little bad.

Xiao Pei, who was beside him, noticed it and couldn't help but ask nervously, "Ah Yu, what's wrong with you?" But feeling unwell? ”

Ling Yan also looked over.

Seeing this, Xiao Yu sighed lightly, expressed his concerns, and asked, "Sister Yan, do you know why?" ”

Xiao Yu looked out and saw that the three beast-headed gates of the County Lord's Mansion had already appeared in front of him. (To be continued......)
