Xie Ze took Li Ran and walked as he spoke. After passing the wild meadow, Xie Ze stood still, frowning slightly.

There was a strangeness in front of him, he remembered that when this mansion was rewarded, at least this area, he should have walked through it, why was it so strange?

"Those two rows of houses were originally where the tiger attendants lived, and after the tiger general returned to the mountains and forests, the tiger attendants moved out, and now they are empty."

Aiming at Xie Ze's frowning eyebrows, Shi Nan hurriedly took a few steps forward and pointed to the rows of houses Xie Ze was looking at.

"Hmm."

Xie Ze looked at the two rows of houses, stayed for a moment, and then motioned to Li Ran, and then moved forward.

The ancient trees in front are vigorous and green, and the flowers and trees are sparse.

"Originally, the eastern route was the same as the western route, with a total of five courtyards. Later, in order to facilitate General Hu's living, everything else was demolished except for the small courtyard where the prince lived.

When the Ministry of Rites came back to see the gate and the main hall, they asked if they would like to rebuild it. ”

The first half of Shi Nan was to explain to Li Ran, and the second half was not clear whether to ask Xie Ze for instructions or to talk to Li Ran.

Xie Ze looked at Li Ran, Li Ran met Xie Ze's gaze and smiled: "I think this is very good, if you think it is good to cultivate, you can repair it." ”

"I think that's good, too." Xie Ze smiled faintly.

Shi Nan was in front, leading everyone from the east line to the west line, and then from the middle line to the moon cave gate leading to the back garden.

"What do you think is good?" Xie Ze stood at the door of the Moon Cave, looked at Li Ran and asked.

"I think the yard you live in now is pretty good."

Li Ran said politely.

She likes the small courtyard where Xie Ze lives now, hidden in the shade and flowers, and prefers the flowers and trees behind the courtyard.

"The courtyard where the prince lives now is only one entry, and it is inconvenient to distinguish between inside and outside.

In order to be spacious, the back cover room was also demolished, and there was no place for the girls to live.

If the new house is located there, it must be completely rebuilt, but I am afraid that it will be too late. ”

Shi Nan stubbornly answered.

"Shi Nan's words are extremely true."

Mama Sang also stepped forward, with twelve points of caution, and added:

"The girl will take charge of family affairs in the future, there must always be a place to listen to things, if you cross the middle line to find a place on the west front, it is a little far back and forth, spring, summer and autumn are fine, but in winter it is rainy and snowy, it is too hard."

The girl brought her over, just to let her help watch and pick the yard, what the girl couldn't think of, she had to think of.

"What do you think is good?"

Li Ran was as good as a stream, looked at Mama Sang and asked.

In this mansion, in the future, although there are only two people, she and Xie Ze, there will definitely be no fewer people.

Although she still has no idea what she will do and what she will manage in the future, she will definitely not be less of things and people to manage, this is certain.

"The prince and the girl are the heads of the family, and it stands to reason that they should live in the main courtyard."

Mama Sang replied cautiously.

Li Ran looked at Xie Ze.

"As long as you think it's good."

Xie Ze is simply direct, he really doesn't care where he lives, where she likes, where is the best.

"Then the main courtyard." Li Ran looked at Shi Nan and smiled.

More than ten steps away, Wang Fang bent down slightly, looked at a peony with only leaves and no flowers, and supported his ears, listening to what Xie Ze and Li Ran said to me.

Three or four steps behind Wang Fang, Wang Ji held Ming Er's grandmother, and the two glanced at Xie Ze and Li Ran from time to time, talking in a low voice.

decided to live in the main courtyard, Shi Nan led everyone through the Moon Cave Gate and into the back garden.

"The back garden of this house is a bit small, only 57 acres in total."

Shi Nan introduced as he leaned forward.

"Last time, the Ministry of Rites came to check on the house, and it was agreed to bring in a racetrack in the back......"

"Which racetrack?" Xie Ze frowned and asked.

"It is the army in front of the palace, originally there were more than 200 acres, and later repaired the east city tower, took soil from the northwest corner, dug a big pit out, a few rains, it became today's Happy Horse Lake.

Earlier, there was a plan to fill in the lake, but Qin Tianjian said that there was a lake there, which was beneficial to the feng shui of the imperial city, so he did not mention the matter of filling the lake again.

Now there are less than 100 acres left, and I can't run a horse, so it's been empty. ”

Shi Nan explained in great detail, Xie Ze snorted and stopped talking.

"Are you all in the circle?" Li Ran frowned and asked.

In this moment's work, she has already calculated the area.

Fifty-seven acres is not small, and if this hundred acres come in the whole circle, it will be two Humble Administrator's Gardens.

She has been to the Humble Administrator's Garden many times.

"Yes." Shi Nan replied very simply.

"It's not small, it's not too big." Xie Ze looked at Li Ran, wanted to laugh and choked back.

Li Ran snorted and didn't speak again.

She is from a real poor family, so don't express your opinion on how big or small this mansion is.

The fifty-seven acres of garden is indeed not very large, and it only took half an hour to go around carefully.

Stretched into the water pavilion halfway into the lake, a tea banquet has been placed, a few people entered the water pavilion, sat down, there is no lake water in front of a clean aquatic grass, Ming Er's grandmother looked at it again and again.

As in front of her, not a single aquatic plant could be seen in a lake, and it was the first time she had seen it.

"You ...... in the lake" Wang Fang pointed to the extremely clean lake, looked at Xie Ze, and asked vaguely.

Xie Ze looked at Shi Nan.

It was the first time he came back to his back garden, the first time he saw this lake, and the first time he knew that this lake was so clean.

"Originally, a lot of lotus flowers were planted, but because the garden had to be rebuilt, all of them were cleared out five days ago, and the lake has just been washed with sediment."

Shi Nan hurriedly bowed and replied with a smile.

Xie Ze sighed.

He remembered that it seemed that Shi Nan had also shown him a few volumes of drawings, and he didn't feel at ease.

"Take those drawings and show them to the girl."

Xie Ze instructed Shi Nan, and then looked at Li Ran and said: "They drew a drawing of this garden, and sent it to me a while ago, because they were busy going out of the city, they didn't have time to take a closer look, you take it and take a look, if something is not good, tell Shi Nan and let them change it." ”

"Hmm." Li Ran nodded unceremoniously.

This is equivalent to getting married and decorating the house, but the movement is a little bigger.

Grandma Ming Er and Wang Jian sat at the tea table next to them, talking with one pair and one talking, listening to Xie Ze and Li Ran's movements with their ears open.

Hearing Xie Ze let Li Ran look at the drawings of the garden, Ming Er's grandmother looked at Wang Ji, and Wang Ji met Ming Er's grandmother's gaze and smiled.

Grandma Ming Er approached Wang Ji and said in a low voice: "I really like the girl's temperament, how generous is it." The Hejian County Mansion is also cleaning up the new courtyard where you got married, did the third prince send someone to ask you what you mean? ”

"The third prince didn't ask, but Mrs. Cao sent people back and forth a few times." Wang Ji squinted at her second sister-in-law.

"Mrs. Cao sends people back and forth, I know, I didn't ask Mrs. Cao, I asked your third son."

"Mrs. Cao, when she returned to our house, she didn't say it, the third prince was very busy and couldn't take care of it."

Wang Ji said, pouting.

Grandma Ming Er looked at Wang Ji and didn't speak.

Wang Ji looked at the concern and faint worry in the eyes of Ming Er's grandmother, and laughed, "Don't worry, the third son is just a child's temper." ”

"Ugh." Grandma Ming Er sighed lowly. "There is no perfect man.

You and the third son, it's good anywhere, but the third son...... I mean, the third son's child's temper, in the future, more or less, I'm afraid that you will suffer some grievances.

Ah Pei, he is in love with the Cao family, and he can take over the Cao family if he marries. But the hard work in the future, alas.

Ah Pei grew up pampered, the Xie family, from your grandmother to Ah Pei Ah Niang, I am afraid that I never thought of letting her be a clan wife like the Cao family.

Girl. ”

Ming Er's grandmother scolded Li Ran.

"Look, how good, just General Xie's appearance...... I mean, how good General Xie is to her, but the bad things in the Xie family, speaking of which, the girl has no mother's family, and it will be difficult in the future, alas.

You see, there is no such thing as perfect. ”

"Didn't the second brother say that it is perfect, and when it reaches the extreme, it will be one, and it will be wiped out."

Wang Ji glanced at her second sister-in-law.

"Your second brother is ...... Also, there must always be a little bit of insufficient thought, with thought, this person is alive, so that you can stare at and lure you to the place, so that you can go all the way. ”

Grandma Ming sighed.
