As Shen Cha told Song Jue, Xue Ruitian supervised the work, Hongye was in charge, and a dozen servants of the Hou Mansion were responsible for the execution. It took three days to clean up the entire Hou Mansion from top to bottom, inside and out. The flowers and plants in the garden were even replanted, and they looked much more vibrant than before.
"Although it's not spotless, it's much cleaner than when Brother Xiaotian lived by himself." Shen Cha looked at Xue Ruitian, "It's not that Brother Xiaotian can't take care of the house, it's just that he's too lazy to do it on weekdays."
“It’s okay.” If a prince is coming, I won't be so diligent." He saw Song Jue and Bai Meng staring at him at the same time, and raised his eyebrows slightly, "Don't look at me like that. Before today, I didn't know you two Someone so bold ran out of Xijing City and followed the two princes to the border."
"Speaking of which, the last time I came here, I was basically at the Zhenguogong Mansion. When I had nothing to do, I would go to the camp for a walk, or go to the busiest and busiest places in the city. , feel the smoke and smoke among the people, but it seems that I have never been to your place, the Hou Mansion, which is separated from the Duke's Mansion by a wall?" Song Jue looked at the big tree next to him, touched it, and then looked at the gardener who had just planted it. Xiaohua, who was only two days old, said with a smile, "This can be regarded as my first serious visit to the Hou Mansion, isn't it?"
For the last question, he looked at Bai Meng, who nodded slightly. He had seen it a few times, but not in as much detail as he did this time.
"After seeing it, how do you feel? There is nothing out of line in my house, right?"
"Don't talk about you, even Haolin and Xiaocha, there is nothing that goes beyond the rules. Don't worry, even if there is, I will turn a blind eye. But..." Song Jue was very disgusted. He curled his lips and said, "This is not a style that may violate the rules. I hope you will put more thought into it, but none of you are willing to do it!" He rolled his eyes, "However, the difference between the Marquis's Mansion and the Duke's Mansion is still the same. Pretty big."
"Of course." Xue Ruitian nodded, "How can I say that there is still a bit of life here, right? Take a look at the Duke's Mansion, the atmosphere of home is indeed there, but it always feels like something is wrong. It’s quite wrong.”
"It's because it's too serious over there." Song Jue put his arm on Xue Ruitian's shoulder and raised his eyebrows at Bai Meng, who was a little lackluster because of the long journey these days, "Isn't it?"
"Brother Xiaojue, we can't admit the word serious. The Duke's Mansion is not a temple, so why should it be so serious? We are just more..." Shen Cha thought for a moment, hesitated, and said, "We are just a little bit serious there. Behave a little bit, nothing else. After all, we spend a lot of time doing business in the Duke's Mansion, and we are more closely connected with the camp. Several generals also come and go frequently. We can't let them do it every time they come. You think we’re not too serious here, right?”
"Hey, Xiaocha, I'm not happy to hear what you're saying." Xue Ruitian raised an eyebrow, "What's wrong with the Hou Mansion?"
"I don't mean that this is not serious, but..." Shen Cha thought for a moment, "As Brother Xiaojue said, the atmosphere of life is too strong, not suitable for discussing official matters."
"That's true." , they went to the Duke’s Mansion to look for us when something happened, and they didn’t think there was anything wrong.”
"That's true." Jin Miaomiao nodded, hugged Shen Cha's arm, and said, "The style of the Marquis Mansion is actually not quite like a military commander's residence. It is not so tough, although there are no pavilions or pavilions. It’s a rockery and lake, but it looks much more refined than our Duke’s Mansion, and with the addition of these flowers and plants, it looks softer.”
"However, if we hadn't tried our best to stop them, they..." Xue Ruitian pointed at Shen Haolin and then Chen Cha, "They would have liked to set up a camp in the Duke's Mansion. The current situation is considered very good. Don't Force them, otherwise it will be counterproductive."
"Understood." Song Jue nodded and pointed to the flowerbed with small purple flowers next to it, "This flowerbed..."
"Isn't it a bit inconsistent?" Seeing Song Jue nodding, Xue Ruitian chuckled, "This was originally a rockery and a small pond for raising fish, but it was later filled in and turned into a flower garden." He took a look Chen Cha saw her touching her chin in embarrassment and smiled, "Don't feel embarrassed. Mother doesn't like that pond very much. Just fill it in, there's no regrets."
"What's going on?" Song Jue looked at Xue Ruitian and then at Shen Cha, "Who can explain?"
"It was the first time I came to the Hou Mansion when I was a child. When I passed this pond, I accidentally fell into it and became ill for a long time." Shen Cha sighed softly, "Later, Aunt Xue felt very guilty, so she gave this place to Filled out."
Speaking of this, Shen Cha suddenly thought of something. She looked back at the location of the flower garden, and then thought about the secret room they had been to before. She frowned slightly, looked at Xue Ruitian who was looking at her, and raised her eyebrows slightly. .
Based on years of tacit understanding, Xue Ruitian immediately understood what Chen Cha meant. He also looked back at the flower garden, and then thought about the place that had been filled as a secret room before, and sighed softly.
"What riddles are you two playing?" Song Jue looked at this and then that, "It looks weird."
"We have figured out something that has always been unclear." Shen Cha smiled, "This matter has nothing to do with the overall situation, brother Xiaojue, don't worry." She pointed to a yard in front and said, "Now Xiaojue Brother has to make a choice. The courtyard in front is the main courtyard of the Hou Mansion, and now Uncle Ning lives there. Brother Xiaojue..."
"Uncle Ning Wang continues to live, I will live in another courtyard." Song Jue lowered his voice and said, "I don't dare to let Uncle Ning change places. Uncle Dai Wang and Uncle Huang have to roll their eyes at me every day. I still want to spend more time here. I don’t dare to provoke them for a few days of comfort. Besides..." He looked at the people who had entered the main courtyard in front of him, "Uncle Huang and Uncle Dai Wang must want to live in the same courtyard as Uncle Ning, and I am just right. Away from them, free from their constraints.”
"You have such a good idea!" That yard is really interesting, you’ll know after a while.”
