Holding the letter in her hand, Daiyu pursed her lips and stood up, walking to the window, filled with joy.
Outside the window, there is a clump of daylilies, a few bamboo poles, and a few banana leaves.
The scene that seemed a bit gloomy at first seemed to suddenly become vivid.
It looks like my husband will be back soon. Daiyu also knew that Baochai must have received a letter from her husband, but she was not too jealous. The letter to her must be the most special. She could feel her husband's care and love for her in the letter. Tonight she Can have a wonderful sleep.
Miaoyu and Xiuyan were both pregnant, which put some pressure on Daiyu for a while. However, as Zijuan said, the eldest and second spouses were probably more stressed at this time. After all, Miaoyu and Xiuyan were both pregnant. It belongs to my own room, and nothing can change this.
Daiyu also knew that once her husband came back, she should work hard. Thinking of this, her cheeks felt slightly warm.
Xianggong also mentioned in the letter the renovation of the original Rongning Second Residence, probably because he considered that the population might increase after he returned, and it might be a bit crowded here now.
Rong Ning's second residence has actually been renovated since the end of last year, but the progress of the renovation was not fast, so I didn't pay much attention to it. It was Baochai who was more worried.
In addition, Sister Shen’s family has been there twice and was very impressed by the original scale of Rong Ning’s Second Residence. She is also very optimistic about the composition of the original layout of Rong Ning’s Second Residence through appropriate re-planning, reconstruction and expansion.
This made Daiyu more interested, and she went there twice later, but this time Brother Feng specifically mentioned this matter, and Daiyu was also moved.
It seems that my husband may want to consider moving after he comes back. Now one door and three rooms are crowded here. As the population grows, many more servants will come in. If the second sister gives birth to a child, if Miaoyu Xiuyan also gives birth to a child, After giving birth to a child and having servants to serve them, the yard the two of them live in now seems too small, so maybe they should move there.
"Zicuckoo." Daiyu called out in a delicate voice.
"Girl." Zijuan came in from the outer room. When only the master and servant were there, Zijuan was more accustomed to using the original title.
"Did Sister Ribao go to Rongning Street again a few days ago?"
"Well, I have been there and spent half a day there. I met Xiang Ling. I heard from Xiang Ling that Miss Bao is very concerned about the progress of the renovation there and basically goes there two or three times a month.
But the girl didn't go there even once in the past two or three months. Zijuan glanced at Daiyu: "Why is this girl so interested today, but the uncle mentioned it in the letter? When will the uncle and the others come back?"
"If I have time, I'll go over and take a look in the afternoon." Daiyu nodded: "I believe it wasn't mentioned in the letter, but I feel it won't be long. Originally I thought it would be at least early next year, but now it seems like it won't be Like, maybe my husband can come back after a while."
Zijuan covered her mouth in surprise: "Girl, is it true?" "Shh, keep your voice down, this is just my feeling. I believe I didn't mention it. I just urged me to go there and have a look myself, and check out the various courtyards." If you are defeated, the expansion and maintenance should be done as soon as possible. I was thinking that if it is still early, why should I be so anxious?" Daiyu pouted, "So I also asked Sister Bao in the afternoon. She must have gotten some news too."
"Girl, it's best to call Grandma Shen together. In the future, the three bedrooms will be moved there. The Grand View Garden will be connected to the courtyard of Ningguo Mansion, and the scale will be much larger. How will the three bedrooms be allocated in this garden? We must discuss it carefully..." Zijuan carefully reminded her girl: "Now tell Grandma Shen in advance, maybe she also has some ideas of her own."
Daiyu glanced at her personal maid with admiration, "Zicuckoo, you are very attentive. Sister Shen really likes Ningguo Mansion, Doufengxuan, Ningxixuan, Huifangyuan, and Tianxiang Tower. She said The water surface there is larger than that of Rongguo Mansion. If they are put together and re-planned and constructed, it will definitely be better."
"No matter how nice Grandma Shen is, she wouldn't want to live over there in Ningguo Mansion, right? It's too far over there." Zijuan thought attentively and said, "Even if the two sides get through and get together, the three of us will not be able to live together in the future."
Grandma, you have to think about how to allocate the yard early. I wonder if the girl still plans to live in Xiaoxiang Hall? "
Daiyu hesitated for a moment and nodded: "In my heart, I still prefer to live in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, but I'm afraid that it will be smaller in the future, and Brother Feng always feels that the Xiaoxiang Pavilion is too secluded for my body. It was unfavorable, so I was asked to change the environment, and if I didn’t change, I would have to renovate the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, so I was very hesitant.”
"If the girl really wants to live over there in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, then I'm afraid she will have to make major changes to the orientation of the house, the doors and windows, and the surrounding flowers and trees. I also understand what I mean. I hope the girl can see some sunshine. It's best. You can open the window to see the sun, and the floor is wider, making it easier for the girl to move around..." Zijuan hesitated for a moment, and finally whispered:
"There is also the villa for relatives. I heard the uncle say that it is a pity that so many houses are empty. In the future, the name villa for relatives is not needed. It can be renovated appropriately so that all the grandmothers can live in it. Maybe the uncle wants the girl to live there. Live in it."
Seeing the somewhat unclear meaning in Zijuan's eyes, Daiyu was stunned for a moment, then came back to her senses and muttered briefly: "Zijuan, what do you mean, who lives in which building in the provincial villa?" If you don’t live there, do you still have to be particular about it?”
Zicuckoo lowered her head and remained silent. After a while, she shook her head: "I don't dare to say this nonsense, but since I want the girl to live in it, I must have a purpose. If Grandma Shen and Miss Bao both move in, Now, even people like Miss Qin have moved in, what will outsiders think? I can guarantee that if there is a chance, Miss Qin will definitely be willing to move in."
Daiyu said with some confusion: "Zicuckoo, although there are many houses in the provincial villa, you also know that living there is actually not comfortable, and it is not a single house, which is inconvenient in many cases. You said Sister Shen and Bao Are the sisters willing to live in it? As for Xue Baoqin, I understand what she is thinking. She just wants to prove that she is the number one person after Sister Shen, Sister Bao and me. She even wants to overpower me, or maybe she feels The pressure brought by the third and fourth girls?"
Zijuan raised her eyebrows, "Has the girl also seen what Grandma Shen meant?"
"The fourth girl runs to Sister Shen all the time. A fool can guess something. The Jia family is in such a situation now. The fourth girl used to be cold-hearted and whispered about becoming a monk. Now if she can have such a destination , there’s nothing wrong with it, not to mention that she and Sister Shen are quite compatible in their painting skills, so they must be able to get along well together if they really enter the eldest room.”
Daiyu knew that it was not just herself. In fact, many people inside and outside the house had noticed this. Baochai, Tanchun, Li Wan, and even her ancestors and aunts had also noticed this, but they all maintained their tacit agreement. Silence, its attitude is not obvious, if it can be done naturally, it can be regarded as a way out for this girl.
"Girl, it's good that the girl understands the uncle's thoughts. Miss Qin likes to play tricks. The uncle knows it very well and doesn't care about her. But the same can't be said for you, girl. You not only represent yourself, but also the third bedroom, and Others are also at risk with you, not to mention that people like Miss Qin are not so measured and are very likely to push their limits, so you cannot give in easily..."
Zijuan is not the kind of aggressive and competitive character, but she also knows that she must not give in easily to Xue Baoqin, otherwise she will definitely ride on her head and shit, and the situation will only get worse, so it is better to exercise restraint from the beginning. Maybe this can make Xue Baoqin restrain himself.
Daiyu smiled, "Zijuan, when did I say I was going to give in? As for the others, I gave in as long as I gave in. To Bao Qin, I couldn't give in even if I wanted to. Besides, Brother Feng values this so much." , how could I not care? I just think that the villa looks beautiful, but it may not be comfortable to live in. Unless Brother Feng insists that we live there, I would rather live in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion. The worst is to change the Xiaoxiang Pavilion. Expand it..., of course, the premise is that Bao Qin cannot live in it, that is transgression!"
Hearing what Daiyu said, Zijuan felt at ease. Although the girl didn't like this kind of trivial matter, she couldn't avoid it in that position. Fortunately, the girl was smart and could reveal such things easily. , no need to say much, but also know the appropriateness, which is the most gratifying thing.
"Girl, I must be aware of this kind of thing. Even the two ladies and aunts will not allow the rules to be broken. As long as you know this, girl, it won't happen.
The big problem is that I'm afraid that you don't know the details and others can take advantage of you. "
Daiyu took Zijuan's hand, "I understand, even if you don't understand, you won't make a decision easily. You can't let outsiders take the lead."
"As long as the girl understands in her heart. Zijuan breathed a sigh of relief, "If the uncle comes back soon, there are many things that the girl might as well go and see first, give them a try, and experience them for herself, so that she can make a good choice." "
Daiyu thought for a while, "In the afternoon, I asked Sister Shen and Sister Bao to go there and have a look. I haven't gone there since the partition wall in the middle of Rongning's second mansion was demolished. I heard that when the middle was demolished, the water surface was all gone." It's comparable to the pond in Brother Feng's hometown in Linqing. The water is sparkling and the scenery is much better and more elegant than before at the Aojingxi Pavilion. Recalling the good times when I played with Yun Yatou at the Aojingxi Pavilion, I also I don’t know what’s going on with Girl Yun now, but Brother Feng didn’t say much in just a few words..."
Speaking of this, a look of longing appeared on Daiyu's face. Brother Feng should take good care of Yun Yatou, right?
