The next day, when Xiao Nuan's family came to Shengwang's Mansion with a soft ruler for breakfast, they were treated very warmly. It is not only the third master who is enthusiastic, but also the Yi Wang couple and the Li family sisters. Li Qiuyang, the second girl of the Li family, was originally a cold person who didn't like to talk, but today she was also smiling, looking at Xiaocao's eyes so soft that she could drip water.

The Qin family couldn't stand it a little, and held Xiao Nuan's hand not only how to deal with it, but after Xiaocao called people one by one, he stood with Rhubarb in front of his sister and mother in person, and didn't feel anything. Xiao Nuan understood, and asked with a smile, "Have the two girls seen the painting?" ”

Hearing that Xiao Nuan broke this, the Li sisters laughed even more happily. Princess Yi saw that the prince of his family was also laughing, so she asked curiously, "What kind of painting did Xiaocao make, it is so funny?" ”

Funny? Yi Wang smiled slightly.

Princess Yi immediately knew that she had said the wrong thing, but she didn't know how to redeem it. Li Qiutong stepped forward and grabbed her cousin's hand with a smile and explained, "It was Xiaocao who helped my father draw a portrait, and she painted my father very cute." ”

Li Qiuyang also smiled, "When the princess saw it, she knew that Xiaocao's painting was very interesting, and grandmother laughed so much that her stomach hurt." ”

As soon as the two of them eased up like this, the atmosphere of the scene immediately rose again, and Princess Yi gratefully held Li Qiutong's hand, but she didn't dare to mention the matter of looking at the painting. If he could show her, the prince of his family would tell her about it when he came back last night, but the prince didn't say anything, and the prince felt that she didn't need to know.

Princess Yi looked at King Sheng, who was looking at Xiao Nuan, and couldn't help but feel sad. King Yi's husband and wife affection for her is worse than that of King Sheng's treatment of Xiao Nuan after all.

Everyone turned around for a long time before they arrived at the small garden in the backyard of the mansion, although the garden is small but also two or three acres large, there is a small circular lake next to the garden, there is a verandah pavilion on the lake, and tables and stools are placed in the pavilion for refreshments. The peach blossom that was appreciated today bloomed very face-saving by the small lake.

After everyone sat down in the middle of the lake, they said a few gossips, and Li Qiuyang proposed to ask Xiaocao to help her paint a portrait, "Xiaocao can paint whatever she wants." ”

She knew that the portrait drawn by Xiaocao must be unique. She is not afraid that Xiaocao will paint her ugly, as long as she can make her grandmother and father laugh, she is willing to do anything. Since their mother's death, they have rarely been as cheerful as they were last night.

Xiaocao looked up at her sister and wanted to give it a try. When Xiao Nuan saw it, she smiled and said, "Sister Qiuyang is beautiful, Xiaocao should be painted well." ”

Xiaocao's eyes shone brightly, and the pen and paper were quickly placed on the table, so she took the pen in a decent manner and carefully observed Li Qiuyang's every move. Taking advantage of this moment, King Yi smiled and said, "It's rare for Anren and the county lord to come here, so the third brother might as well accompany them around." ”

King Sheng was as kind as a stream, and invited Qin and Xiao Nuan to see the scenery of King Sheng's mansion.

Shengwang's mansion is very large, and the verandah of the house is also beautifully repaired, although there are not many flowers and plants, but the pine, bamboo, mountain, and stone dotted among them are all magnificent. The Qin family nodded again and again, this is where the prince should live, and it is by no means comparable to ordinary people.

Although I have been here twice, Xiao Nuan was taken directly to the study each time, and it was the first time I saw the spring in the house.

How so? This scenery is really the third master, atmospheric, condensed, delicate and impeccable symmetry everywhere, such as the two pine trees at the entrance of the small courtyard in front of them, the height and tree shape are exactly the same, the third master should be very comfortable to see.

Xiao Nuan couldn't help but smile, "What does this yard do?" ”

The third master replied, "This is the Huanyi Courtyard, which is the courtyard for washing clothes." ”

Oh, Xiao Nuan and Qin nodded, and didn't say anything about going in and taking a look. Wang Quantong, the chief housekeeper of the palace, and Shuangcheng, the aunt of the housekeeper, who followed behind the third master, finally breathed a sigh of relief, this Huanyi courtyard was inhabited by the palace maids who were rewarded by the queen mother and the queen, all of them were born with beautiful faces and moon appearances, and they were afraid that the people of Qin An would be unhappy when they saw it.

Xiao Nuan felt that she had a good sense of direction, but she didn't distinguish between east and west, north and south in the various courtyards of the palace, and finally turned to the courtyard where the third master lived.

Xiao Nuan looked up at the sun in the sky, and then found the direction again, and her mother had already begun to carefully check the appearance of this courtyard.

This is a square courtyard, the main room is five, the ear room on the east side is the small study room of the third master, the ear room on the west side is all kinds of weapons, and the east and west wings are the residences of Xuansan and Xuaner and others. Xu is because the rhubarb gnawed all the bamboo in the yard, there is no bamboo here, and the thick plane tree in front of the west wing is particularly abrupt, and the Qin family and Xiaocao both understand that this is the tree transplanted by the third master for the rhubarb. Needless to say, the three thick sticks that live in the tree were also created after Rhubarb dug up the tree.

The third master raised his hand and invited the Qin family into the main room, and introduced to her the usefulness of each of the five main rooms.

When the mother carefully inspected the placement in the house, Xiao Nuan pulled the sleeve of the third master. Seeing this, Shuang Cheng humorously dragged Wang Quantong to the inner room to guide the Qin Anren and leave this place to the unmarried couple.

The third master leaned over slightly, Xiao Nuan raised his head and whispered in his ear, "Have you put away all the valuables in the house?" ”

The last time she came, she remembered that there was a flaming coral tree in this house, and two ingenious jade carvings, which were now all gone.

The third master also said in a low voice, "This place will be filled with your dowry." ”

His cold voice was hoarse and thick, Xiao Nuan's heart couldn't help but tremble, and his face turned red uncontrollably. When the third master saw it, his throat rolled up and down, and he sighed, "It's going to be a long time." ”

is going to get married next year, but he said that it will be a long time, thinking of getting married, Xiao Nuan's face is a few degrees hotter. The third master no longer teased her, but led her to the study, pointed to the window and said, "Put a long couch here, your books here, and mine here." ”

Xiao Nuan looked at the bookshelves on the three walls of the room and said in a low voice, "I can't occupy a single wall of my book." ”

"Then put the ledger or leave it empty. When I am tired of reading, you and I will lie on this couch to rest and play the piano. The third master is full of expectations for the days after marriage.

It was the third master who stroked the piano and she listened to the piano, Xiao Nuan couldn't help but be proud. However, "I'd better use the West Ear Room, otherwise the people who come and go are all people in the shop, and it won't be beautiful if it disturbs the rare purity of the third master." ”

The third master smiled, "Silly girl, the study room for the meeting is in the front yard, this is the courtyard of you and me." ”

She seems to have some heads that don't turn today, Xiao Nuan stuck out her tongue, and smiled embarrassedly, "Well, then I'll tell my mother to make an extra long couch." ”

Beat? Are you looking for the carpenter in their village again? The third master didn't know what to say for a while.

Xiao Nuan looked up at the plane tree in the courtyard and asked, "Can this tree still live?" ”

"Yes, when I dug it up, I brought roots and soil, and the paulownia tree is very lively. The tree was left here to make a nest for the rhubarb. In addition to this, the fifth village should also be planted. The third master's voice was full of warmth, Xiao Nuan couldn't help but reach out to clasp him, and looked at the plane tree in the yard side by side with him, thinking about what Rhubarb would look like when he came to the door when he was idle and went into the hole to rest.

Just as he was thinking about it, he saw Rhubarb running in from outside, turning into the kennel belonging to him under the tree, and after a while, he took out a money bag and put it in front of Xiao Nuan through the window.

"Wang, Wang!"

Xiao Nuan understood, "For me?" Who is this for? ”

I don't know where Xuan San came out of nowhere, staring straight at the broken money bag, his face full of tears, "The ...... of his subordinates"
