The story of the husband and the son of the doctor and daughter of Houmen

Chapter 280: Learning Horses in the Jungle, Checking the New House (4)
Turning around the huge Pingshan stone at the end of the main entrance, there is another gate behind the stone, which is the second gate. After entering the second gate, you can see five majestic buildings, a wide front porch, and four pillars under the porch. Carved beams and painted buildings.

The front here is facing the sun, and the shape is simple and elegant, showing the meaning of majesty. Under the eaves of the main house entrance, there is a plaque with gold characters on a blue background, and there are three large characters "Chunhui Hall" on the plaque.This should be the most important part of General Dingyuan's uniform.

Wei Zhang looked at the three words on the plaque, and said: "This is the house where my grandmother lived, and it has been more than ten years. Now I have asked someone to clean it inside and out."

Yao Yanyu thought that this room would be used as a place to meet important guests in the future, if living here, it would be uncomfortable after all.She doesn't like a house that is too big, it is empty, and when she wakes up in the middle of the night and can't see the side at a glance, she is frightened to death.

Seeing her expression, Wei Zhang knew he didn't like it, because he said again: "Let's go to the back and have a look."

Everyone turned around Chunhui Hall and went back.

Behind is another yard, but it is smaller than Chunhui Hall.There is also a faint smell of lacquer in the air mixed with the faint fragrance of flowers.There are a lot of flowers and plants in the yard, and several gardeners are trimming and arranging them.Seeing Wei Zhang coming, they all put down their tools and saluted.

Wei Zhang ignored them and just led the people inside.

The main house here is also five buildings, with wing rooms on the left and right.The difference from Chunhui Hall is that the doors and windows here are of a new style, with large lattices, and all kinds of patterns of plum, orchid, bamboo, chrysanthemum, blessings, fortune, longevity, and happiness are carved on the four corners.There is also a plaque under the eaves above the main entrance, with the words "Yan'an Hall" written on it.

"Huh? Is this window still unpainted?" Han Mingcan asked strangely.

Cuiwei had already walked up to her with a smile and raised her hand to tap.The clear glass made a thumping sound, which surprised Han Mingcan, because he asked, "What is this? Crystal? Isn't this too luxurious?"

Han Entropy also stepped forward to tap, and asked Wei Zhang with a smile: "This should be glass. Brother Xianjun is so handy, how did you make so much?"

Wei Zhang smiled and said nothing, but looked at Yao Yanyu.

Yao Yanyu stood in the courtyard and looked at this broad green brick building with satisfaction, neat white and gray plastered seams, dark sandalwood doors and windows and clear glass, and always felt that something was missing.

"Ah! I forgot." Han Entropy raised his hand and patted his forehead, "Miss Yao got the secret recipe for making glass from that foreigner, and now there is a glass factory. Brother Xianjun will certainly not lack this here." .”

Han Mingcan has already pulled Yao Yanyu to ask repeatedly: "Really? How much does this cost? My house also needs to be like this!"

Yao Yanyu said with a smile: "My sister just wants me to send someone to send it to you. She said that there is no money." Then, she pulled Han Mingcan directly into the room, and said: "Let's see if the room is bright like this. light and spacious."

Han Mingcan followed Yao Yanyu into the room. There were already large pieces of furniture, cabinets, beds, etc. in the room, but there were no silk items such as curtains and bedding. These were things prepared by the woman, and Wei Zhang couldn't worry about that.

Yao Yanyu stood at the window and looked out, tapped her chin with her fingers, and suddenly said with a smile: "By the way, there must be curtains on this window."

"Curtain?" Han Mingcan asked inexplicably, "What is that?"

"It's the curtain that covers the windows." Yao Yanyu made a gesture, "The glass is too transparent, you can see the inside from the outside at a glance, and there is no privacy at all. It is bright during the day, but it is not safe to sleep at night."

"That's true." Han Mingcan nodded.

The two walked around the house, and Han Mingcan still sighed for such doors and windows: "This window is really comfortable. If it snows in winter, you don't need to open the window to enjoy the snow scene from inside."

"That's right, my sister asked someone to measure the size of the plum garden in the Princess's mansion later. Later, I asked someone to make glass according to your size. If I can enjoy the plum blossoms this winter, I won't have to go out to blow the cold wind."

"Well! It must be like this!" Miss Han was very happy.

After returning from General Dingyuan's Mansion, Yao Yanyu called Nanny Feng to him again, and told her to fix the curtains.There should be two layers of curtains, one layer of heavy satin and one layer of light gauze. The colors should be elegant, and you can embroider them with broken branches and flowers.

Nanny Feng refused, saying that it was a great joy. Marriage is the greatest joy in life, and it must be red everywhere.If the girl likes simple and elegant, you can prepare two more sets, and change to simple and elegant ones after the wedding, but on the wedding day, curtains of other colors are not allowed in the wedding room.

Later Ning Shi also said the same, Yao Yanyu had no choice but to make a compromise, and prepared a set of bright red embroidered with hundreds of butterflies and peonies, and another set of rainy and sunny, and a set of ivory white.Ning said that it might be too late for the embroidery work, so Yao Yanyu said that only the bright red ones should be embroidered, and the other two sets don't need embroidery, as long as the plain brocade is fine.

But Nanny Feng always felt that things that were too plain were taboo for young people, so she said that they must be embroidered with flowers and plants, so girls don't have to worry about these things.

After talking about these things for a while, dinner was served, and Ning and sister-in-law Yao Yanyu ate together.

Yao Yanyu, as a doctor with the right to speak, told the cook at home to have a light dinner, try not to use minced meat, and all of them are vegetarian.And her own daily dinner is just a bowl of medicated health porridge.

Ning was used to luxury in the south, and at first she couldn't stand it, but now she was gradually brought over by Yao Yanyu, and at night, just like Yao Yanyu, it was just a bowl of porridge.

After the meal, Yao Yanyu asked about Yao Fengge's condition again, and Ning sighed: "Your elder sister is fine, and Miss Su San is also much better. I heard that now I can eat more. It's just that the madam in the Hou's mansion is too sad. , fell ill. I hurriedly called the imperial physician today. Fortunately, the wife of the second bedroom came, otherwise the mansion would really be in chaos."

"He fell ill because of being overly sad?" Yao Yanyu really wanted to laugh, isn't the daughter-in-law here too filial?

"That's what I said." Ning also smiled, "Perhaps Mrs. Hou has some old illness, and I don't know if it suddenly broke out due to repeated fatigue these days."

Yao Yanyu nodded. She believed it. The funeral of the Eldest Princess was very complicated. Even though Mrs. Lu could only cry with the excuse of the eldest daughter-in-law, some things couldn't be left to the Feng family.Nor is she the type to delegate power.

However, other people's affairs naturally have other people to worry about, Miss Yao is too lazy to think about it.

Dinghou Mansion, Mrs. Lu's upper room.

Nanny Lian helped the pale-faced master to wash his hands slowly, changed the mourning clothes on his body, and went to the quiet room at the back wearing only the moon-white Ning silk long jacket, first offered incense to the Bodhisattva devoutly, and then slowly knelt down down.

Mrs. Lu held a string of sandalwood beads in her hand, knelt down in front of the Bodhisattva and recited silently, not knowing who she was praying for.Nanny Lian sighed softly, shook her head, walked out of the quiet room with light steps, and closed the door behind her.
