Chapter 34: The Dove Occupies the Magpie's Nest (1st Update)
Han Youning looked up at the plaque, "I haven't seen Dingguo Gong yet, but I've heard a lot from my grandmother. He is a great hero who stands up to the sky, bringing stability to the Great Zhou and glory and wealth to his relatives. β
She turned her head to look at Han Qingwan, "Everyone in the mansion regards him as heaven, right?" β
Han Qingwan's face was slightly sluggish, I don't know if it was because she was too careful, she always felt that Chen Youning said that the second room was relying on the protection of the big house to live, and she should be grateful.
But Han Youning looked naΓ―ve, looked obsessive, and didn't seem to be a person with such a shrewd mind.
The eldest uncle inherited the title of dukedom of the country, enjoyed the admiration of the world, and was blessed with thousands of glories, he deserved to do this, and did he want them to be grateful?
Father is also the son of his grandfather, where is he so bad, he can only live with humility!
Those officials nodded to their eldest uncle, but they were arrogant to their father, and those county kings and county lords admired the prince closely, and ignored her and her second brother, did they deserve this?
Han Qingwan smiled with admiration on her face, "The eldest uncle is very powerful. β
A sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of Han Youning's lips, she was so vague that she couldn't even admit the credit of Dafang.
Xiao Wen and Han Rui were not far from them, so naturally they also heard this conversation, Han Rui looked displeased, and entered the mansion with a calm face.
This country girl really doesn't know how to lift, but she is just a thing under the fence, and she even knocked on the master of the house!
The Dingguo Mansion is built magnificently, but it is not rich, the trees and flowers inside are very ordinary, and the courtyard is also half-old and not new, and it has not been painted and repaired for many years.
The tall camphor trees that have been handed down in the palace have decorated some facades in this mansion.
Xiao Wen's presiding over the Fuzhong feed, has always been the appearance of the Fuzhong, the Fuzhong industry has all been in her hands, even Chen Man's dowry is in her hands, and the income is huge, but she still cries poverty to Han Jun from time to time.
Han Jun handed over the salary and rewards, as well as the property obtained after the war, to Xiao Wen's family. What he thought was that the two rooms of the Han Mansion were one, sharing honor and disgrace. The money he added in was just a rotten pot of meat, and it couldn't be cheaper than others.
How did he know that the meat had gone to the bowl of the second room, and the big house had no private property and private treasury for many years, and his life was shabby. The rewards of the servants in the big room are much less than those in the second room, and some people are dissatisfied after a long time and start to make a living by betraying the master.
Han Qingwan took Han Youning's hand affectionately all the way, and introduced the scenery of the mansion in detail, a pair of masters' shelves.
Han Youning admired her endurance, and she didn't fall well at the gate of the mansion, but it didn't affect her mentality at all, and she was always smiling like this.
"This mansion was given to my grandfather by the first emperor, and it was originally inhabited by a prince, and the area was twice the size of the next Guogong Mansion. If you look at the big garden, it is a hundred years old, the ancient trees are quiet, and the pavilions and pavilions are also chic. β
"My cousin doesn't have to be restrained, just make this her home. If you need anything, you can tell your mother or tell me. β
Han Youning didn't make an expression, just listened quietly.
This was her home, but she was forced to have a home and couldn't go back, so why is it still explained by the people who occupy the magpie's nest? The money in the house was all earned by her father, so why did she need to beg them for a second room?
Han Qingwan saw that Han Youning didn't speak, and the master's sense of superiority became even stronger. A businesswoman is a woman, only rich but not expensive, after all, she lacks her background, and she is just a fancy shell with a strong outside and a dry middle.
When passing by Ruixi Hall, the courtyard was brightly lit, and you could see it from the orange light reflected in the sky. Xiao Wen said that the old lady had already fallen asleep, and she asked Ann to wait for tomorrow.
Han Youning knew that the old lady Wen had insomnia, and she had to stay up late before going to bed. But she didn't have the heart to deal with the old pious woman after a tiring journey.
Xiao Wen led her to a courtyard, which, like in her previous life, was a large courtyard with a light surface, called Rose Garden.
The garden is extremely wide and full of roses, hence the name.
This is more accurate than a yard and a flower garden. There are five main houses in the courtyard, three wing rooms in the east and west, and the rest of the open space is all planted with bushes of roses, leaving only a walking path.
The roses can be sold to the rouge shop for some silver, but in fact, the wages of the servants who take care of the garden are removed, and a lot of silver may be upside down in a year, which is just a means for Xiao Wen's to cry poor.
Although Xiao Wen was disgusted in his heart, in the end, he still had to show the bearing of being a housewife, and what he said was good.
"The empty courtyard in the house is now the largest in the Rose Garden, except for the Jinhetang, which is your aunt's yard, and the place where Grandpa Guo and your aunt get married, so it's not good for you to live. If you think these roses are in the way, I'll send someone to pull them out tomorrow. β
Intimate sister Han Qingwan laughed softly on the side, "Mother really feels sorry for my cousin, the five main houses in Rose Garden are much more magnificent than my three-room small courtyard, and my mother didn't agree to move here several times." This rose is also gratifying, I often come to pick flowers and wear them on weekdays, and it is rare and tight. β
Han Youning almost laughed out loud, the mother and daughter's ability to open their eyes and tell nonsense is still the same as before. can always say that the lack of virtue is not red and the heart is not beating beautifully.
In her previous life, they said the same, and she heard that her ears were very warm, and she liked the roses in the yard, and she felt that they were all very good people.
In fact, in addition to the "big", this rose garden has no other advantages, the place is remote, close to the pond, surrounded by tall trees that cover the sky and the sun, damp and cold.
The roses look beautiful in the month of blooming, and the other times the dead branches and leaves are very ugly, and there are endless fallen leaves every day, and if you are not prepared, you will be pricked by the thorns on the branches.
It's like it's late autumn now, and the dead flowers and leaves have failed, even if the servant woman has just cleaned them, the dead leaves on the ground have piled up again. The autumn breeze at night is all about rolling up leaves in the air.
Han Youning smiled coquettishly, "Since my cousin likes it, if you come and live here, it doesn't hurt for me to live in a small courtyard." β
Who wouldn't say such cheap words? When the two lips touch, you don't have to pay anything, and you can get a good reputation for being virtuous.
Han Qingwan was stunned, where did anyone talk like this, don't you know if others are polite? It's really rude!
Han Qingwan took her hand and was embarrassed, "How can I win people's love, my father will definitely not be able to spare me if he knows it." And my yard is close to my mother's yard, where my father and second brother often pass by...... I'm afraid it's not appropriate for my cousin to live in the past. β
Han Youning pulled out his hand and smiled, "What is my cousin doing so seriously, I'm just joking." β
In Han Qingwan's embarrassed and aggrieved gaze, Han Youning said goodbye to Xiao Wen's blessing, and Shi Shiran entered the courtyard.
Ling'er slammed the door shut, shutting the mother and daughter outside.
