Farmhouse Pastoral Notes

Chapter 301
At midnight, Chunqiu knocked on the door of the study with the blueprint she just drew in his hand.

"Qiu'er?" Yang Chunming was surprised. Someone came over so late. He thought it was Li Zhou, but it turned out to be his sister.

Chunqiu carefully closed the door, and then ran two quick steps to come in front of Yang Chunming.

"Hee hee, second brother, I'm here to see you." Chunqiu said with a smile, and opened the drawing paper in his hand with a mysterious expression in front of Yang Chunming, and lifted the drawing paper above his head, completely displaying it in front of Yang Chunming. In front of Yang Chunming, "Second brother, take a look, how is my blueprint?" After Chunqiu finished speaking, he deliberately brought the blueprint together in front of the other party, in order to let Yang Chunming see it more clearly.

Yang Chunming leaned on the chair, half-closed his eyes, and calmly glanced at the drawing paper in front of him. After a rough look, Yang Chunming made up his mind about the drawing paper. It seemed to be a landscape painting, but Yang Chunming didn't understand it. Looking at the strange landscape painting in front of him for the design drawings of later generations, Yang Chunming had a flash of inspiration.

Looking at his younger sister who was winking at him, Yang Chunming crossed his right hand over his chest, put his left hand on his chin, lowered his head and said, "Qiu'er, what you painted should be the lotus pond in the yard next door?" He visited the backyard of the county government office, but when he first came here, Steward Wu also gave him a brief introduction, but now the memory is a little far away, and he can't remember clearly.

Although the landscape painting in front of him is somewhat abstract, with Yang Chunming's eyesight, it is not difficult to recognize it, but he just doesn't know what the purpose of his sister's painting is.

Seeing that his second brother had guessed his painting, Chunqiu became even more excited, and put the drawing paper in his hand on the table. Chunqiu supported the table with both hands, and said to Yang Chunming, "Second brother, you are so smart. It’s the lotus pond in the yard next door to ours, but the lotus in that lotus pond is all withered and looks bare, which is a pity.”

After Chunqiu finished speaking, he shook his head in a gesture, thinking that it would be best for the second brother to bring it up by himself, so as to save her effort.

"Hehe, what's the pity? You little ghost." Yang Chunming didn't believe that the other party spent so much effort just for pity, "tell me, is there anything second brother can help you with?"

It can be said that Yang Chunming knows his sister very well. Instead of guessing here and there, it is better to ask directly. Besides, Yang Chunming also understands the bottom line of his sister, so he will not embarrass him.

"Hey, as expected of the second brother, he understands righteousness." Chunqiu immediately ran to Yang Chunming's side and flattered him skillfully.

"Don't, let's talk about your matter first. If it's not difficult, it's fine." Yang Chunming doesn't follow Chunqiu's way, who knows what problems this little girl will have and wait for him to solve them.

"Second brother, it's like this. In two days, my mother will return to Linfang, but I still want to stay here. Look, it's so hot outside now, and second brother is reluctant to let me run outside every day." , so..." Finally, Chunqiu showed a "you understand" expression.

"So" Yang Chunming pointed to the drawing paper and continued, "You want to fix the lotus pond in the yard next door, right? By the way, move to live in the yard next door?"

Chunqiu patted his chin excitedly, rubbed his palms together and asked, "That's right, Second Brother, what do you think of this matter?"

Yang Chunming smiled like a spring breeze, "In my opinion...it won't work"

After Chunqiu listened, she showed an expression of "second brother, you are lying". She just saw her second brother smiling brightly, and thought her second brother would agree, but in the end, he couldn't.

"Don't be sad." Yang Chunming continued to explain, "Qiu'er, you have to know that if the cost of repairing the lotus pond has to be taken from the public account, it is a violation of the law. However, I have some private money here, you can take it Just make it simple, although it can’t be trimmed to be as beautiful as your painting, but it’s not a problem to enjoy the lotus in your spare time, what do you think?”

What else?Of course Chunqiu agreed, as long as her second brother can do it.

Chunqiu happily thanked her second brother. She also knew that if she wanted to trim it into the appearance she painted, at least dozens of taels of silver would be needed. She didn't expect too much from the beginning.

"Okay, let's talk about this matter with Butler Wu tomorrow. In the past few days, you and your mother will take a good look around Pingchuan. When your mother leaves, you will be repairing your lotus pond."

"Hey, second brother, I know..." Chunqiule's brows and eyes curved, "Second brother, keep busy, I'll go back and fix it first" Chunqiu finished his work, and came down to have nothing to do, so he found a random Excuse to slip away.

"You really are a little girl crossing rivers and tearing down bridges." Yang Chunming looked at the villain who ran away in a blink of an eye, shook his head in a funny way and continued to handle the case...

Yang Chunming could have predicted Yuan's departure from the time the other party came. After all, it was too much for his father to handle the business of the family alone, and his mother was not a person who could let go of things completely, so she lived in Pingchuan for a while. For a few days, Yang Chunming did not keep Yuan Shi who was about to leave, but brought some Pingchuan gadgets, and Yang Chunming sent his mother away.

The carriage went farther and farther until it disappeared around the corner.

"Okay, Qiu'er, go in quickly." Yang Chunming turned his head and said a few words to Chunqiu, while he went to the front yard to continue his work.

"Yeah, the second brother has to come back earlier." Chunqiu nodded and sent Yang Chunming away before entering the courtyard.

"Butler Wu, have you found all the craftsmen you've contacted?" Chunqiu returned to the yard, looked at the empty lotus pond in front of him, suddenly thought of his own design, and turned around to ask.

Butler Wu followed behind Chunqiu, and immediately replied, "It's already settled, just wait for when Miss is free."

"Well, Steward Wu, let them come over tomorrow." Thinking that nothing happened these two days, Chunqiu decided to repair the lotus pond as soon as possible.

"Ok"

"By the way, Steward Wu, in addition to the lotus pond, the corridors around here also need to be repaired. The wood in some places has rotted, so I'm afraid it can't be used anymore." Chunqiu pointed to the verandahs around the yard. Has been destroyed.

Since it was going to be rectified, let's make a big rectification. When Chunqiu came here, she also brought a lot of private money, plus the money given to her by her second brother, it should be enough to simply repair the yard once, and she didn't want to leave any regrets.

"Okay, miss, this old slave will go to contact the carpenter in the city." At this point, Butler Wu continued to ask, "Miss, is there anything else I need to order?"

"Not yet, if I think of something, I will tell you." Chunqiu shook her head, although she still wanted to move some trees around the yard, but after all, it was a bit troublesome, and this season, they moved The trees are not easy to grow, we will talk about it later.
