Chapter 180
Perhaps it was because Ling Yu had helped Xiao Lintian a lot. When Xiao Lintian saw the construction of Lanyuan, he asked Zhao Xuan to send the guards and male servants to Lanyuan to help.
With so many people helping out, Li Daniu put up the frames of several newly built houses within one day.
The next day, Zhao Xuan hired many craftsmen to lay the bricks for several houses with great skill.
When Ling Yu came back from Trillium Hall, she was shocked by the speed of house construction. Lanyuan had expanded and had begun to take shape. All that was left was the detailed work.
She enthusiastically took Ling Yue around to see if there were any details that needed to be added.
The back garden is very large, and the newly built house is twice the size of the original Lanyuan.
When Ling Yu designed it before, she reserved a public bathroom and equipped several bedrooms with separate bathrooms.
In the middle of the yard, she left a space for Ling Yue to play and exercise, and also installed a swing for Ling Yue.
Lanyuan was repainted and the windows were replaced with colored glaze.
Li Daniu bought these colored glazes at Ling Yu's request. It cost a lot of money to install them in several bedrooms.
It made Li Daniu feel distressed, saying that the money spent on these colored glazes was enough to rebuild two orchid gardens.
Ling Yu didn't feel distressed at all. If there were no transparent glass yet, she would be willing to replace it with glass windows.
But the glazed windows like this were even more upscale than Xiao Lintian's Linshui Pavilion, which made the servants of Prince Yi's Mansion who came to help repair Lanyuan secretly jealous of Ling Xin and Aunt Li.
The house where the master Xiao Lintian lived did not have glazed windows, but the old and dilapidated Lanyuan had them.
Ling Xin and Aunt Li are taking advantage of Ling Yu!
These servants already knew from the beautiful Yue Yin that day that Princess Yi was no longer the down-and-out Princess Yi!
Didn't you see Zhao Xuan, the leader of the guards, holding Ling Yu attentively?
These servants no longer dared to look down on Ling Yu, and began to please Ling Xin and Aunt Li diligently.
Nanny Li and Ling Xin have never been as proud as they are now.
Aunt Li was not stingy either. According to Ling Yu's instructions, she would give extra meals to these helpers every day, including big fish and meat for them to eat freely.
Lan Yuan started the fire by herself. Geng Xiaohao knew that Ling Yu was repairing and specially sent a few cooks to help Granny Li cook for the craftsmen.
In just a few days, Lanyuan took on a completely new look.
Ling Yu even changed the furniture and beds in each bedroom, and asked Li Daniu to build wardrobes in each room.
Ling Yue's study also has several rows of bookcases and a beautiful desk.
Ling Yu designed a cartoon puppy headboard for his bed. When Ling Yue went in and saw it, he hugged Ling Yu and shouted.
"Mom, Yue Yue likes this bed... Mom, Yue Yue also likes the study room! Yue Yue loves Mom even more!"
Ling Yu now knows that Ling Yue can distinguish between liking and being rare. He stubbornly feels that being rare can express his love for Ling Yu better than liking.
After Ling Yu found out, she never thought of correcting him.
Geng Xiaohao then found two servants for Ling Yue, namely Huzi, who just turned thirteen this year, and Dezi, who was ten years old.
The two children are brothers. Their parents died and they were sold and bought by Geng Xiaohao.
He has a tiger head and a tiger brain, he is very honest and his eyes are big.
Dezi is young but smart. His eyelashes are very long, and his skin is not as dark as Biaozi, but a bit fair.
"Although these two children are young, they are very capable of enduring hardships. They have been with me for more than two years, and their character is trustworthy!"
Geng Xiaohao said proudly: "Although they have only learned martial arts for two years, they are very talented in martial arts. They are so powerful that ordinary street gangsters cannot defeat them!"
This was enough, Ling Yu didn't expect them to be able to deal with martial arts masters, as long as they could ensure Ling Yue's basic safety.
She was very impressed with the two children and kept them.
After asking about their previous surnames of Qi, Ling Yu didn't let them change their surnames, so they still called them Qi Hu and Qi De.
To Ling Yu's surprise, the two children were both literate, and after spending a long time with Ling Yue, the three of them were as happy as brothers.
These two children are not like Heizi, a doting and spoiled person.
Although Ling Yu gave them the task of protecting Ling Yue, when the two children were fine, they would watch Ling Yue alone, while the other would take the initiative to help Ling Xin and Aunt Li.
After only getting along for one day, Ling Xin and Aunt Li regarded the two children as family.
Grandma Li also went out to buy new clothes, shoes and bedding for her two children and Lingxuan who was recovering from her injuries.
With the help of Qi De and Qi Hu, Ling Xin was able to take care of the injured Ling Xuan.
Lingxuan saw that everyone in Lanyuan was united, and the family-like atmosphere infected her.
Although Ling Yu had already told her that she could leave freely after recovering from her injuries.
But Lingxuan was homeless. She stayed in the imperial capital and could still see her uncle, Eunuch Xie.
She secretly made up her mind and waited for an opportunity to ask her uncle.
If her uncle doesn't object, she will stay with Princess Yi and find an opportunity to repay Ling Yu for saving her life!
...
After the Lanyuan side was repaired, Li Daniu started repairing the Yanling Hall according to Ling Yu's instructions.
Ling Yu plans to build Trillium Hall into a large pharmacy. It is inconvenient for Doctor Liao and his family to live in Trillium Hall.
Ling Yu simply bought the house next door to Trillium Hall at a high price and let Doctor Liao and his family move there.
Ling Yu gave the house deed to Dr. Liao, but Dr. Liao refused to accept it, so Ling Yu was forced to say.
"I will accept the deed, but the money to buy the house will be deducted from my dividends!"
"Ms. Ling, you have saved Trillium Hall for me, Liao cannot be greedy!"
"Brothers are still settling accounts, so Liao cannot let Liao Xian and Liao Ming's family develop the habit of getting something for nothing!"
Doctor Liao had already mentioned this, so Ling Yu couldn't force it, so she decided like this.
Ling Yu went to Trillium Hall to see the progress of the repairs again that day. She walked all the way and saw that there were many people on the street today, and there were also many people selling things. She was a little surprised.
After entering the door, Ling Yu saw Li Xiong cleaning up and asked strangely.
"Li Xiong, what day is it today? Why are there so many people on the street?"
"Master, today is the 15th, there is a big market! So there are a lot of people on the street!"
Doctor Liao said with a smile.
"Your master may not have been to the big market! Madam Ling, it's noisy here, and there's no place to get involved! Let Li Xiong accompany you out for a walk!"
"Okay! Master, wait for me, I'll wash my hands and then leave! I just want to buy some things too!"
Li Xiong happily washed his hands.
Ling Yu thought that she had been in Xi Qin for so long and had never seen a big market before, so she followed Li Xiong to the streets.
"Master, this big market is held on the fifteenth day of every month. On this day, nearby villagers and even merchants from far away will bring their collected goods to the imperial capital to sell!"
"Everything can be sold in the streets and alleys, as long as there are places where stalls can be set up. In addition to collecting a certain amount of taxes, Shuntian Mansion will not interfere and will send troops to maintain order!"
"Except for military emergencies, carriages are not allowed on the streets! Violators will be prosecuted by Shuntian Mansion!"
Ling Yu listened to Li Xiong's explanation and smiled slightly when he saw the bustling crowd.
This is a measure to stimulate consumption and promote economic development. It can also be considered beneficial to the country and the people!
Before the two of them had gone far, they saw the crowd in front of them suddenly commotion.
"Quick... get out of the way, my prince suddenly fell ill... he needs to be treated quickly..."
"what's going on?"
As soon as Ling Yu stepped forward in confusion, she heard the murmurs in the crowd.
"I heard that Prince Cheng suddenly fell ill. When he came here, he suddenly vomited black blood and then passed out..."
"My servants dare not move. We have already sent people to ask the palace doctors Zhang and Tang Ti for advice..."
Someone frowned and said, "Is it too late to call for the imperial doctor? The palace is not close. When the imperial doctor Zhang is invited, can Prince Cheng be saved?"
"Yes, isn't Huichun Hall closer? Why don't you ask the doctor from Huichun Hall?"
An insider said: "Doctor Li from Huichun Hall is here. Didn't you see it over there? Dr. Li said that Prince Cheng's illness is terminal and even the gods can't save him!"
"Ah, it's so serious!"
When Ling Yu heard that Prince Cheng was ill, he pushed forward with concern.
She remembered that Prince Cheng and her grandfather, Mr. Hou, were close friends.
The old Marquis’s friend, she can’t just die without saving him!
