The quality of the house is sometimes difficult to tell at a glance.

For example, bricks, this brick can be divided into three, six, nine and so on, as well as tiles, wood, and soil, which are very different. Some houses look very bright, but the bricks in that house are all powdered, and they are all mud powder, and they fall down in a row.

How did Liu Yan know? There are some long-lost old houses in the palace like that, Liu Yan really picked it, and it was not difficult. If she had enough time, she would have been able to dig a hole in the wall with her bare hands.

When such a house is fine, it looks okay, but when there is a little wind and rain, or snow, the house must collapse.

Now Liu Yan knows that his future princess's mansion is very solid, which is a good thing, saving labor, materials and worry, isn't it a good thing?

For example, the house is not easy to live in, and Liu Yan has two or three in front of him.

For example, Liu Fang's princess mansion looks more gorgeous and exquisite, but it is not very practical to live. The garden is beautiful, but it takes a lot of manpower to maintain it. The verandah fence is beautifully carved, but it is not easy to clean, and those tiny crevices always accumulate dust. Not to mention the yard and house, as soon as the yard is lived, it feels too small, and some activities cannot be opened. The house is the same, the main house is exquisite and small, except for Liu Fang's living, the personal maids can barely live, and they have to lay on the floor in front of Liu Fang's couch for a while. After having a child, it is even more inconvenient to place.

According to Doutang, there are still many places in the Three Princesses' Mansion that are not very reasonable, such as the passage where people walk is not organized in advance, and many times they have to pass through the front yard, the main hall, and the east courtyard, which is very unorthodox. As for how the garden was, Liu Yan had heard it at the time, but he didn't think about it very seriously.

Now that she wants to have a princess mansion herself, she can't help but care.

Empress Cao is more attentive than Liu Yan.

From what kind of paint was used to repaint the doorposts, to who was responsible for supervising the project, Empress Cao asked everything in detail. Liu Yan was afraid that the queen mother would love her daughter very much, and finally built a princess mansion too luxurious-

That's not necessary.

Usually, people build a house, which can be passed on to their children and grandchildren, and as long as the house is not damaged, the ancestors can live in it for generations.

But the capital is different.

The palace, princess's mansion, or the courtiers' palaces in the capital are actually only given to you to live, and the palace is not there, if the prince is not there, then the palace cannot be lived. It is also a reason to be an official, if the official doesn't do it, then you can't live in the house that originally rewarded you. This has nothing to do with more money and less money, from the past to the front, and then to the front...... Anyway, it's been the same old routine for all these years. Even if no one drives them out, people will obediently move out, because if they live in a house that does not fit their status, it is overstepping.

It's the same with princesses. When you are alive, you can live in this house casually, but once the princess is gone, then the first Zongzheng Temple in this house will be taken back.

Liu Yan feels that this is similar to the feeling of renting a house. This house has lived in other people before, and now she lives, and in the future, there may be people who don't know who lives in it.

In that case, why bother to waste money and people?

As a princess, Liu Yan still understands wealth and nobility. If you don't bring it in life, you don't bring it in death, in fact, you just need to eat enough food and warm clothes, and she doesn't like to be too ostentatious and extravagant.

It's just that the people around her don't seem to think so.

Lu Yi sent someone to send a letter to her almost every other day, this person and Zhao Lei are not good friends in vain, and the painting is not as good as Zhao Lei, but fortunately, the appearance of the painting room does not require much clever painting skills.

What the front yard of the princess's mansion looks like, what the cloister looks like, and what the garden looks like, they are clearly and clearly displayed in front of Liu Yan under Lu Yi's pen.

He also showed Liu Yan the stone carvings in the garden.

According to him, the stone carving was made of jade, and in the middle of the pool, there were grass stems, lotus leaves, lotus flowers, and two cranes, standing slim in the middle of the water.

At the end of the letter, he said that when Liu Yan left the palace, he would take her to see this garden.

...... of jade carving

It seems to be a bit extravagant.

But looking at what he wrote, I really want to read it.

Liu Yan felt that he was really an inconsistent and inconsistent person.

It quickly got hot, and it seemed like it happened overnight. Lu Yi brought another letter, saying that a few trees in the courtyard had bloomed.

Liu Yan really wanted to see this flower.

Empress Cao doesn't care much about her now, as long as Liu Yan doesn't spend the night outside the palace, she can go wherever she wants.

And Liu Yan is being teased less often now.

If a person is very thin-skinned and embarrassed when she is teased, then others must be very fond of teasing her. But Liu Yan is not that kind of person. It is natural for men and women to marry, what is there to be ashamed of? Besides, it's okay to pretend to outsiders, and no matter how shy you are to yourself, what are you trying to do?

Queen Cao reluctantly said that she was "cheeky" twice, and from then on, she didn't tease her about marrying.

Liu Yan and Lu Yi made an appointment to enjoy the flowers on the day he was resting.

The next day was a cloudy day, and not long after Liu Yan left the palace gate, it started to rain. The rain is not heavy, the rain line is fine, and the air becomes humid and slightly cool.

"Luckily, it didn't rain much."

Liu Yan lifted a corner of the car curtain and looked at Lu Yi standing next to the car.

Lu Yi wore a regular dress today, moon-white, which looked particularly fresh in such a gloomy and gloomy weather.

Liu Yan was in a trance.

She didn't seem to have seen Lu Yi wear such a color.

Lu Yi's clothes have always been mostly dark, black, dark blue, blue, Liu Yan has seen his official uniform, with a black background and a thin red edge.

The official uniform is also good-looking, especially when he is wearing a palm-wide leather belt, and when he is wearing official boots on his feet, he is particularly heroic and straight.

But today's clothes are also good-looking, and they look like a simple and simple scholar, with a different kind of style.

Liu Yan helped his men get out of the car and looked at him seriously: "You seem to be thin again?" ”

Lu Yi hurriedly explained: "This is really not, it may be that today's clothes look thinner." ”

The clothes are indeed wide and long-sleeved, but he really can't be fatter than the last time we met.

"Where's the tree you're talking about?"

Lu Yi smiled and led the way in front: "Princess, please go this way." ”

"What kind of tree? What color are the flowers? ”

Lu Yi replied: "White." ”

Walking along the corridor, Liu Yan had already seen many flowers and trees along the way, and in the rain, the flowers and leaves seemed to be more colorful, as if they could flow.

Lu Yi stopped, pointed to the front and said, "Princess, it's over there." ”

Through the flower wall, Liu Yan saw a large puff of pink and white flowers pouring down from the wall, and flowers also fell on the ground, which were messily paved on the ground, as if covered with a thick layer of snow.

Liu Yan smelled the indifferent fragrance of flowers, mixed in the rain and mist, and densely entangled people.
