Chapter Sixty-Nine: Fertilizer and Water Do Not Flow to Outsiders' Fields
"What kind of yellow robe, I don't know myself?"
In fact, Ning Zimo was also very strange, no one had sent any clothes to her brother's birthday gift list at all, there were no robes, not even a piece of fabric, but the yellow robe, she had really seen it, but now it is gone.
"Brother? Are you sure you didn't hide it? ”
"What am I doing with my clothes, by the way, what did you say about my underwear?"
As soon as the brother and sister said a word, it was already dark outside, and the jade slave also came in and took the lamp, and said with a smile: "Miss, look, the red plum outside has bloomed, and it is fiery red, but it looks good." ”
"By the way, what about the two pots of plum sent by the fifth prince?"
Ning Xuanli heard that she was still thinking about the Emei, and immediately said unhappily: "I threw it away." ”
Ning Zimo was stunned and asked, "After Xiao Li broke it before, you also threw away the two pots that were re-cultivated?" ”
"Yes, I threw it with the basin."
Yunu just pursed his lips and smiled at this, and instantly felt that such a young master was much warmer than the cold young master in front of people, and it seemed that young master Yan was only a flesh-and-blood person in front of Miss Yan.
"Throw it away, throw it away, Yunu, pass the meal."
Ning Zimo nested in the room after dinner and didn't go out anymore, the entire general's mansion was immersed in a blanket of silver, and small snowflakes drifted into the room from the crack in the window, and landed next to the stove, instantly becoming a fine mist, dissipating in the air.
Ning Zimo looked at the cat in his arms, the more he looked at it, the more happy he felt, the cuteness of the fat head and big ears, the touch was called a smooth, and he sighed with his eyes closed: "You say you, when I don't buy cats, I haven't seen you come back, I bought so much on the front foot, and you came back on the back foot, did you say you did it on purpose?" ”
"Meow,"
"You said you didn't mean to? I see that little black cat is as clever as you, but not as powerful as you. ”
"Meow."
"You said it's not early, then go to sleep."
In fact, it was Ning Zimo who spoke alone, she didn't understand what this Xiaoli said at all, she just talked to herself, accompanied by a kind of loneliness that ordinary people couldn't touch, she got out of bed and put out the candle, and went to bed in black and fell asleep.
Early the next morning, in front of a mansion in the capital that had not yet been repaired, many craftsmen gathered, and the workers all smiled and greeted each other.
In front of those people stood a fat-headed man with big ears, holding a pipe in his mouth at the moment, holding a teapot in his hand, while heating himself, while pouring hot tea into his mouth, seeing that these people were in a mess, he put down the teapot in his hand, raised his hand to signal those people to be quiet, and waited until the conversation gradually became quieter, and then cleared his throat and said: "Do you know where this place is behind me?" ”
The workers laughed and coaxed and said they didn't know.
"The emperor's grace is vast, this is the future palace of the six princes of our Great Shun Kingdom!!"
As he spoke, the man bowed to the palace.
This news caused a lot of sensation among the workers, they all know that this Liu Daer has a little ability, but I don't know that I can take on such a big thing, this project is really not small, the main courtyard of the palace has a total of four gardens and five pavilions, and countless people's rooms, pavilions and attics, corridors and terraces, there are more places to repair and decorate, if this Liu Daer does something in the account, the ghost knows.
Although everyone knew this, no one said it.
After saying some polite words that as long as you do it well, you will be rewarded with silver, that Liu Daer took people into the future palace.
It's actually not small here, but as a palace is still small, Liu Da'er first looked around, this Liu Da'er is a little capable, and as soon as he came in at the moment, he felt that the area was not enough, and he went around to the east and west to take a look, and his heart was determined.
Steward Liu came over in the afternoon, probably to see the process to understand the situation, and saw that the weeders were weeding, moving things, everything was in order, and nodded to Liu Da'er with a smile: "Nephew Liu, this business is not small." ”
Liu Da'er is Steward Liu's nephew, so this Steward Liu introduced him to such a big job, the so-called fertilizer water does not flow into the fields of outsiders, anyway, it is all the money allocated in the palace.
"I have to thank you, Uncle Liu, really, my father said, let me invite you to my house for dinner when I am, and..."
He said halfway, looked around before he said, "And my little nephew's silver money for honoring you, you must accept it." ”
Steward Liu smiled, as if he hadn't heard this, but pointed to the pavilion and attic here: "Clean up here first, turn around and make a picture, and then give it to me, I'll take it back to the palace to show the prince." ”
"Uncle, I was about to tell you about this, the area here is not small, but there is a big pond over there, and the area is enough to fill the pond, if you don't fill it, this area will definitely not be enough, I know that the courtyard of the palace has a total of nine main courtyards, which is not enough at all."
The butler listened with a frown, and only after listening did he ask, "Then what do you think?" This is the place chosen by the emperor, a good place for outstanding people. ”
"I see, the two courtyards outside the wall are empty, and I don't know whose house, so I pushed the wall, renovated it, and used it directly, isn't it better?"
Steward Liu glared angrily and scolded: "I don't know whose family it is, I can't use it indiscriminately, I can tell you, I know whose family is better, just buy it, if you don't know, forget it, don't forcibly occupy the house, when something happens, the prince will blame it, you and I can't eat and walk around." ”
Seeing that his uncle's face was wrong, Liu Da'er hurriedly bowed and said, "Yes, yes, what you said is true." ”
"I have handed over the work to you, and you have to make it beautiful, so that your uncle and I will not be able to explain it in front of the prince. Got it? ”
"Yes, yes, uncle, you don't know me, I don't have the ability to do it, I will design the yard, the design drawings here have been made early in the morning, and Ming'er will send them to the palace, you can show them to the prince?"
"It's good to do it, I'll go back first today, don't call it a day too late today, I look like it's going to snow again."
Steward Liu walked on the front foot, and there were indeed small snowflakes floating in the sky on the back foot, Liu Da'er has always had a helper by his side, and when he saw this Liu Da'er seemed to be reprimanded, his face was not good, and he stepped forward with his hands and feet, and said: "The job introduced by your uncle is quite big, and your uncle is quite capable." ”
"It's not, the number one in the palace, if you have any good work, you will think about me first."
"But your uncle is obviously not worried about you, as if we will forcibly occupy someone's house, and we are not short of a few dollars to buy a house."
The reason why this Liu Da'er is called Liu Da'er is that he was born with very big ears, and he can't listen to such words to sow discord at this moment, so he said with a glaring eye: "What are you talking nonsense, you are rambling nonsense, I won't leave you to get the wood for repairing the yard." ”
"Don't, you look at your hot temper, my wood is all good oily nanmu, and Nanfu mahogany, but it is all good wood, I look at this palace to repair, the silver is going to go out like flowing water."
"You don't care about this much, the silver in the palace can be missing."
After Liu Da'er said this, he left, and took a look at the two courtyards outside the courtyard wall, the courtyard was really delicate and small, and it was a pity to put it there without it.
While feeling sorry in his heart, he carried the tea and a small snowflake into the palace, and ordered the people to disperse and come back tomorrow.
"Your Majesty?"
Eunuch Kui cautiously shouted to the emperor at this moment, the emperor was reviewing the folds, Xu was too tired, and he fell asleep after closing his eyes and resting.
"Your Majesty?"
Eunuch Kui was also in a hurry, if it wasn't for the important matter, he wouldn't dare to call like this one after another.
After the emperor woke up, the eunuch immediately walked to the emperor's side and whispered: "Your Majesty, Yanbei's New Year's Eve has arrived today, and the old slave has already instructed the Internal Affairs Office to accept it. ”
"I know, tomorrow we will have a banquet to entertain the envoys of Yanbei."
The emperor's tone was tired, gently rubbed his temples, and asked, "Did the envoy from Yanbei enter the palace directly, or did he go to the post station first?" Have you seen Yan Jifeng's child? ”
"No, the old slave specially inquired, the Yanbei envoy set off early, but because the road was blocked by heavy snow, it was a little late. However, the old slave took a rough look, and there were a lot of cattle, sheep and horses that paid tribute, as well as Luo Yi and mink skins. ”
"I know, after confirming it, it's just a return gift according to the usual practice, Yan Jifeng hasn't caused trouble for me in the past few years, it's time for Yanbei to change to a new owner."
Eunuch Kui nodded, looked at the sky outside the window, and asked, "Your Majesty, there are still some hours before dinner, do you want to have some snacks first?" ”
"No, it's almost the end of the year, and the prince's illness should be cured."
When Eunuch Kui heard this, doubts flashed in his eyes and he asked, "Could it be that the prince has been sick all along?" This must be the negligence of the Imperial Hospital, the emperor, do you want to order someone to show the prince? ”
The emperor waved his hand and was about to get up to leave, but he turned his head and asked, "By the way, how is the marriage between the General's Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion going?" ”
"Everything is going on, if the emperor is not at ease, the old slave will let people ask."
"Well, these days, Old General Ning has been recuperating at home, you bring someone from the Tai Hospital to check General Naning's pulse, and you can ask about this matter by the way."
Eunuch Kui understands, by the way, ask about this matter, the emperor sent him to the general's mansion to go to this matter, not really for General Ning's body, but it would be good to put it in his heart, and he could not say it if he accompanied the king like a tiger.
In fact, the emperor's heart always felt unstable, as if something had been missed, it stands to reason that the child refused in front of him, but he suddenly announced the holy decree, and no one ran to the palace to reason with him, or rather, smoothly made him feel faintly uneasy, but he couldn't specifically say what was wrong.
