"Wei Shizhong doesn't care much about Princess Pearl, but your husband can borrow Wei Chengdi's living notes from the Hanlin Academy. If you are interested, you can ask your husband to help," Li Baolu smiled, "Although the living notes will also be influenced by those in power. , when the probability of distortion is low, you can analyze it in combination with other data.”

  Gu Jingyun gave him a sideways glance and asked meaningfully, "Are you really interested in this?"

  Zhao Ning coughed, scratched his head and said, "I'm a little curious if Wei Chengdi is really like this, so..."

   "So treachery?" Li Baolu laughed and said, "This can be studied, Brother Jing Yun, lend it to him."

  Gu Jingyun glanced at the red-faced disciple and nodded.

   Zhao Ning exhaled a breath, wondering if the husband would think that his curiosity about this was not a proper job.

  Li Baolu gave him the corrected scriptures and said with a smile, "Go and play."

  Zhao Ning twitched the corners of his mouth and took Jingyi. He is already in his twenties, do you need to use such a tone to coax him?

   "Wait a minute," Gu Jingyun stopped him and said, "Tomorrow afternoon, you will ask for leave and pick up someone at the gate of the city for your teacher."

   "Who to pick up?"

  Gu Jingyun said lightly, "You'll know when you go."

   Zhao Ning looked at Master with a bewildered look on his face. Isn't it necessary to know the detailed information in advance to pick up people?

  Gu Jingyun has already waved: "Let's go."

   Zhao Ning could only swallow the full of doubts back into his stomach.

After    and the others left, Gu Jingyun looked at Li Baolu who had already taken the coursework and re-marked, and asked, "Is the yard ready?"

  Li Baolu's thumb and forefinger formed a circle, stretched out the other three fingers, and said with a wink, "I'll do things, don't worry."

   Gu Jingyun smiled slightly.

   Ever since they found out about Master's bravery, Gu Jingyun and Li Baolu secretly prepared the house "if Master and mother are together".

  In order to prepare the house for his uncle's family to live in after returning to Beijing, Gu Jingyun bought the latter family in one go, with a total of three yards on the left and right, but they simply cut out the walls to communicate with each other, and they didn't have time to arrange them, which was very rough.

   Then they went south to Runing and Yazhou again, and they didn't have time to deal with it. They didn't start to make arrangements until they returned to Beijing this spring.

   In fact, if it weren't for the lack of money and the skyrocketing housing prices on Lingsheng Street, Gu Jingyun would still want to buy two more yards to expand the home.

  Because there was really no money in their hands, and they didn't know when Master and Mother would be close, the young couple was very eager to decorate the house.

   Just as the parents of later generations were eager to prepare a marriage room for their children, the young couple was also anxious to give Master and mother a stable and comfortable environment.

   And the combination of four courtyards is very strange, because each courtyard is different in size and layout, not only out of proportion, but also not even aesthetically pleasing when combined.

   And it's a waste of space.

  For example, there were originally four families. Each family had a kitchen, a utility room and a cowshed, and the two left and right were very large. There was even a well and a vegetable garden in the backyard.

   Especially the yard where Bai Yitang lives now, it is the largest, with two entrances, and its back wall is directly flush with the back wall of the house they bought.

   At that time, there was a two-meter-wide alley between the latter family and the Gu Mansion. It used to be the one on the left, so it was a dead end.

After Gu Jingyun bought it, he directly paid some "road money" at the yamen, bought the area of ​​the alley that they were facing, temporarily built a wall, and then opened a door to connect the two. a family.

   But just like this, a home composed of a **** in the east and a hammer in the west is really ugly.

   After returning to Beijing this year, Gu Jingyun and Li Baolu couldn't help redesigning the house, trying to make reasonable use of the area and decorating it more warmly and beautifully.

   After all, this may be the place where they will live for the rest of their lives, and it may be passed on to future generations.

   In fact, the area of ​​their houses is not too small, but the layout is unreasonable, and they feel very crowded.

   After Gu Jingyun designed the blueprint, Li Baolu started to call for construction.

Because of the lack of money, she didn't dare to move too much, but she still removed the turn heads that she had built before, and rebuilt the walls to make them blend together. At least they looked like this at the beginning, so people couldn't see it. It's newly built.

   Then some redundant buildings, such as those unnecessary cowsheds, protruding utility rooms and large kitchens, were demolished, and many places were instantly vacated.

Li Baolu divided the large yards on the left and right into two entrances, and built two courtyards separately. The house on the right was smaller, so only three main houses and one side room were built in the back entrance. Li Baolu planned to let Weizhen and his brother move in. Enough for them to live.

   The first entry on the right is the same as the first entry in the middle. There are five main rooms, and there is a newly built small kitchen, which is still for Zhao Ning.

The house on the left is very big. Li Baolu not only built the two-story house to be spacious and sparse, but also built a small garden at the end of the yard. Leading to the middle of the middle road, a small garden has also been built here, so that the two small gardens are opened up, although they are not on the same line, but when the flowers and trees grow up, when the branches and leaves are flourishing, they will not be able to see the current ones.

   also used some arrays to guide, as long as it is not seen from the air, no one will come out of this garden. It is a diagonal line.

No way, the houses up and down the middle road are too far apart, the first entrance is the backyard, the alley, then the second entrance and the big front yard. After the wall is removed, the space in the middle is too large, unless they put the back The house was demolished, and it was rebuilt on this vacant land to become a second entry, otherwise, only a small garden could be built in this place.

  Since there is also a small garden on the left road, Li Baolu wanted to connect the small gardens on the two roads into a big garden, so that the children can play more spaciously in the future.

Thanks to the array book they brought back from Lingtianmen, after Gu Jingyun researched it, he used a plum tree to set up a very simple little stray array. Lean to the other side.

   will make people expand the area of ​​the garden from the heart.

   This change actually started very little. After all, there are very few parts that they need to build, and most of them are demolished and modified.

   Therefore, although the Gu Mansion has changed a lot, the cost is not large, at least not as big as outside assessments.

   Even so, the money Li Baolu had just made from doing business with Bai Yitang had already been used up, and they had to add all kinds of flowers and plants to the garden in the future. As long as she thought of the money that was about to be spent, Li Baolu felt a little sad.

   It seems that her ability to make money can never keep up with the speed of spending.

   But anyway, now their home has become very beautiful, and the new house for master and mother is also ready, just waiting for the good news of master and his old man - although he has not yet succeeded in chasing people.

   "The yard is set up, but the others are not prepared," Li Baolu thought for a while and said, "They have a small kitchen in the yard, so the couple must have a chance to be alone, why not hire a cook for them?"

"You don't have to worry about it, his daughter-in-law will take care of it." Gu Jingyun can't see that she is working hard for others, and he is willing to do this for Zhao Ning because he wants to give him a birthday gift on his birthday, otherwise Gu Jingyun won't let his wife worry about it. .

   "But you're right, husbands and wives do have the opportunity to be alone. In the future, let Weizhen and Jingxi go to dinner with their senior brothers. They don't have to come to us every day. The journey is long and it's a waste of time."

  Li Baolu:  …

I don't know that Qu Weizhen and Qu Jingxi, who were disliked, were counting their pocket money, Qu Weizhen whispered to her younger brother: "I asked the teacher, she said that we can send letters through the station, or we can ask the guards People bring things. The **** bureau charges more expensive, but the speed is faster, but I think the post station is also good, safe, and will not lose items. "

Qu Weizhen touched the broken silver in her hand and said reluctantly, "I've thought about it, I bought muslin cloth for the eldest sister and the others to make clothes and send it, and then buy flowers for the eldest sister, the second sister and the little sister, especially the eldest sister. , she will be married in a few years."

Qu Jingxi said: "Make clothes for father and mother, father's legs and feet are not good, I want to buy him some medicinal wine, and give mother a pound of brown sugar to drink when her stomach hurts, so that you don't have to ask for a big one. Auntie."

Qu Weizhen didn't listen to what her brother said, but lowered her eyes and thought for a while, "It's better to ask someone from the **** agency. After sending more, you can secretly ask him to bring some money to the eldest sister and the second sister after you get used to it. It's always good to have money by your side."

Jingxi heard her sister's muttering, and after thinking about it, she picked out a small piece of silver from his money and stuffed it to her, "Third sister take it, secretly give it to the eldest sister and the second sister, and let the security bureau My uncle, be careful, don't let your parents know."

  Qu Weizhen came back to his senses, touched his younger brother's increasingly fat cheeks and said, "Xiaobao, sisters are very lucky, you are our younger brother."

   Qu Jingxi's face flushed, and she lowered her head shyly and said, "It's Xiaobao who is lucky to have you as sister."

  Qu Jingxi hesitated and said, "Third sister, last night the teacher told me the story of three people becoming tigers."

  Qu Weizhen nodded, "Teacher also told me, haven't you heard enough, I'll tell you again?"

Qu Jing shook her head and whispered: "I think, since three people can become tigers, can I make three people become tigers? I wrote to my parents and told my parents how to treat my daughter well and how to treat my daughter well. How to be filial to your parents, each time you list different people, different people, you say it too many times, can you also make your parents believe it and treat the eldest sister and the others well?"

  Qu Weizhen was taken aback for a moment, then frowned and asked, "Can this work?"

   It's not that she doesn't believe this method is useful, but that she doesn't think this method is useful to her parents. She knows how much they despise them.

The more books    read, the more Qu Weizhen thinks about.

  Her parents are not just patriarchal. Although other parents are patriarchal, their daughters still hurt, and they still regard their daughters as their own blood.

   But her parents were not. She was sharp-minded and could sense that their parents didn't see them as daughters, or even as people.
