Chapter 504 Instructions
"It's just that for such a big greenhouse, heating in winter may cost a lot." Xia Zihan was a little worried that Mr. Zhuo would disagree if he knew about it.
After all, such a big greenhouse will probably burn a lot of carbon this winter. Every year, the amount of carbon used by each household is allocated by the court. If it is not enough, you have to spend your own money to buy private carbon. .
Private charcoal is expensive. If you burn it in one winter, you will probably need five to six thousand taels of silver for such a large greenhouse, which is one thousand taels a month. Although Duke An Guo's family is very wealthy, no one can live a careful life at home.
Mrs. Zhuo is in charge of the family. If she doesn't want to pay the extra money every month, she can do it. But if she says it, Mrs. Zhuo's face will not look good. She is worried that Mrs. Zhuo will have thoughts in her heart. .
Chu Jingqi rubbed her hair hanging around her waist and said, "What are you worried about? My mother still doesn't care about this little money. Besides, you are my mother's precious daughter-in-law. Whatever you want, we can give it to you." Mom definitely supports it.”
Hearing what he said, Xia Zihan felt sweet in her heart.
When the two of them saw Mrs. Zhuo and told her their plans, Mrs. Zhuo not only did not feel dissatisfied, but said excitedly, "Oh, you think so well. That yard used to be the second bedroom of the second house." Since they moved to the west courtyard, the courtyard has been empty. It might as well be demolished and built into a greenhouse. In the future, my grandchildren will also have a place to play. This is a good idea. ”
Mrs. Zhuo danced happily, and then took Xia Zihan and said, "You don't know, after the flower house was built in Chu's house, I was greedy when I saw it. I always wanted to build one, but I couldn't find a suitable place. It just happened. No matter where you want to repair it, we will have an extra place to entertain guests in the future.”
Then, blinking his eyes, he thought again, "I remember, not far from the yard, there are two small houses for two people. Otherwise, they will be built together this time, and they will be used by the second and third children. They are four years old." , in a year or two, your uncle will definitely move them to live in another place, and it’s time to prepare their yard.”
Because the twins are still young, they still live in the same courtyard as Chu Xuanyu, the Zhuo family, in their east wing room. Because Chu Xuanyu and Zhuo family are very affectionate, they will hide in the house when they have some free time. Hot, the third child is restless, too naughty, too clever, and always likes to disturb their good things. For this reason, Chu Xuanyu has been furious many times.
Zhuo estimated that within a year or two, Chu Xuanyu would be unable to bear it and drag them out to live.
Mrs. Zhuo was determined to help them prepare the yard in advance, so that they would not be in a hurry later, and if the repairs were not done well, they would live in an uncomfortable place.
Xia Zihan showed the pictures to Zhuo again, and pointed out the picture of the flower room in particular, and said, "Aunt, look, if this design doesn't work, then we will design another one. Once we repair it, we will have to Fix it a little bit.”
Zhuo picked up the picture, looked at it carefully, and nodded repeatedly, "Well, I think this is good, especially this flower hall, which is very well designed. Banquets and other events can be held here in the future, here... I think it’s better to replace the flower garden here with a grass field. In this way, we can still set up a few tables. If there are few people in the future for any banquet, we can just do it here.”
Mrs. Zhuo pointed to a flower garden under the pavilion.
Xia Zihan hummed and thought Zhuo was right, so he ordered the maid to prepare pen and ink and change the flower bed into a grass field.
The green grass is also pleasing to the eye, no less than a flower garden.
Mrs. Zhuo added, "Everything about this greenhouse is good, but it's too close to the yard where you live. If we hold a banquet here, I'm afraid it will disturb you. Moreover, if someone who doesn't know the situation touches it, it won't be safe." Okay, I think it’s better to build a garden between the yard where you live and the greenhouse. Across the street, doesn’t Ayu like rose flower walls? Let’s build a three-meter-high rose flower wall, and then open a small hidden flower door on the wall. This way, others will definitely not think of it, and it can add a beautiful scenery to the flower room. What do you think?”
With that said, he asked his son and daughter-in-law for their opinions. Xia Zihan thought about it carefully and then thought of Zeng Ning.
Back in Chu's house, Zeng Ning was able to plot against Chu Jingqi and wanted to be Chu Jingqi's concubine.
What if it was another woman, if she had the intention to sneak in through the open door while attending a banquet in Duke Anguo's mansion, wouldn't that... lead directly to her and Chu Jingqi's inner courtyard?
So what secrets do they have to keep?
If a rose wall is built and a hidden door is opened, they can easily go to the flower room, but the people on the other side of the flower room cannot get through. This will provide an additional layer of protection for privacy.
"Well, I think it's good." Xia Zihan praised him repeatedly. ”
As long as Xia Zihan agreed, Chu Jingqi would have no objection, and the matter would be settled. After Chu Jingqi left on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, Mr. Zhuo would invite people to demolish the house and demolish the yard...
As for Xia Zihan, early in the morning on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, she told Mrs. Zeng that she was going to stay overnight in Zhuangzi outside the city. Mrs. Zeng didn't want to agree, fearing that Chu Jingqi would be careless and do something in advance, but she knew that Chu Jingqi was going to do something in advance. Half a year after Wu Yao left the capital, his heart softened and he agreed.
However, when Chu Jingqi came to pick up Xia Zihan, Mrs. Zeng was worried. She pulled her aside and whispered over and over again, "You can't let him do whatever he wants. He is still young and impulsive. He doesn't know It’s a matter of importance, you like to do random things, but grandma knows that you are a sensible person. Your aunt said that she wants to get you married in August, and I agreed, just for a few months, you asked him to endure it..."
< br>
Xia Zihan's cheeks turned as red as fire.
She hummed shyly, but thought to herself, 'Grandma, your granddaughter has been taken advantage of by that bastard a long time ago. Except for her naked body, that bastard touched and kissed her everywhere. ’
When he got on the carriage, the blush on his face had not faded.
Chu Jingqi was in a good mood, hugged her and asked softly, "What did grandma say to you, why are you blushing so much?"
"Nothing."
How could she have the nerve to tell him her grandmother's instructions? Could she tell him that her grandmother was afraid that he would lose control and eat her before the marriage?
"You really won't tell me?" Seeing her cheeks getting redder and redder, Chu Jingqi was very suspicious of her words, "Are you going to tell me?" He reached out to her armpit and deliberately scratched it.
"Don't... Aqi, I'm ticklish, don't scratch here." Xia Zihan twisted her body to avoid his hand.
"Then tell me no."
"Okay, I said, I said it's not okay, stop it, it's so itchy... I'm going to laugh."
