The Pretty Eldest Daughter of a Scholar's Family

Chapter 802

Lu Mingyang has a total of four sons, all living in the Zhen Guogong Mansion in four houses.

Zhenghe Hall, Ci'an Garden and Xuhui Courtyard are all courtyards on the central axis of Zhen Guo Mansion.

Zhenghe Hall is located in the center of Zhen Guogong Mansion, and is the main courtyard of Zhen Guogong Mansion. It is the main courtyard where Zhen Guogong and his wife lived in the past.

Xuhui Garden is located behind Zhenghe Hall, and it is the courtyard where the sons of the Duke of Zhen Guo lived after they got married.

Ci'an Court is the courtyard of Lao Zhen Guogong and his wife. Although it is also on the central axis, the courtyard is well built, but it is relatively secluded.

There are several large or small courtyards scattered on both sides of the central axis.

The first larger courtyard on the left is called Chengxinyuan, and it is the courtyard where the second bedroom Lu Yue and his wife lived.

Going back along Chengxin Garden, there is a small courtyard called Qinggui Garden, which is empty now.

The Fang family of the second room compared and compared, and finally this Qinggui Garden was the one they liked. If they can get the courtyard next to Chengxin Garden, then the small courtyard next to Qinggui Garden will be included in it. , and then transform it for Lu Jinbai's marriage, although it is not as good as Lu Jinkang's Xiaofeng Garden, it is more than enough than Lu Jinzhen's Shuiqing Garden.

Going further along Qingguiyuan is Xiaofengyuan where Lu Jinkang and his wife live.

Originally, Xiaofeng Garden was not as big as Qinggui Garden, but it was quieter, and there was an open space behind the courtyard to practice martial arts.

After Lu Jinkang and Su Yunduo got engaged back then, according to An's intention, they wanted to choose another better and bigger yard for Lu Jinkang to marry.

It's just that Xiaofengyuan was the courtyard chosen for Lu Jinkang by Mrs. Xu when he was alive, but it's better than small and small because it is exquisite and the terrain is unique in the mansion. No matter from which aspect, Lu Jinkang has no plan to leave Xiaofengyuan.

An's had no choice but to expand and renovate Xiaofengyuan, enclosing a large open space and a small garden in the back into Xiaofengyuan, changing the courtyard that was originally only a second-level courtyard into a junior courtyard like it is today. into the yard.

Although the current Xiaofeng Garden covers an area smaller than the three courtyards on the central axis, it has surpassed Chengxin Garden.

Going further from Xiaofengyuan, there are two or three small courtyards, except for the courtyard called Shuiqingyuan, which was hastily cleared up two years ago for Lu Jinzhen's marriage, and it is regarded as the owner's courtyard, and the others are all empty. Only a few rough envoys were arranged.

Further on is the back garden of Zhen Guogong Mansion.

The distribution on the right side is similar to that on the left side, with three and four rooms living in the two large courtyards respectively.

The three-bedroom house is called Furong Court.

This courtyard was not originally called Furongyuan, but after Lu Tong got engaged to Yang and learned that Yang liked hibiscus flowers, Lu Tong specially found hibiscus flowers to plant in the yard with his own hands, and specially made the courtyard originally called Qingfengyuan It was renamed as Furong Court.

The four-bedroom house is called Yilan Garden, which is said to be named after the fourth aunt Zhao. The rockery and flowing water in the courtyard have a Jiangnan style.

Between the third room and the fourth room is a large courtyard called Hanyu Courtyard, where the girls of the mansion live.

The girls in Zhen Guogong's mansion were asked to leave their parents and live in Hanyu Garden after their eighth birthday.

In addition to the three large courtyards on the right side of the central axis, there are naturally several small courtyards with one or two entrances.

The fourth son, Lu Jinlin, and the second daughter, Lu Yumin, are twins of dragon and phoenix. The two siblings are only half a year younger than the third son, Lu Jinbei, who comes from the second room. They are both 17 years old this year.

After Lu Yumin got married, the Yang family arranged a marriage for Lu Jinlin. The woman is the daughter of Yang's cousin's family, considered a cousin. The two children will get married only when the woman is married next summer, when the autumn season is clear and crisp.

Since she made a marriage arrangement for her son, Yang naturally began to think about the yard where Lu Jinlin got married.

It's just that Mrs. Yang picked and picked among the yards closer to Furong Garden. She always felt that it was better than the Green Osmanthus Garden that Mrs. Fang picked for Lu Jin. I don't know how many times I have whispered to Lu Tong in private. rebuke.

Naturally, Lu Yumin knew about this, and persuaded Yang Shi several times, and finally persuaded Yang Shi to lower her eyes.

Now, he has chosen the yard called Fufengyuan which is the closest to Furongyuan, and he is hesitating how to raise this matter with Anshi.

Since An asked everyone to raise their opinions, Yang wanted to speak up several times, but was stared back by Lu Tong beside him.

The third room is a concubine, so it's better to keep a low profile.

Besides, there is a second room in front of the third room.No matter how anxious their third room is, they are not as anxious as the second room.

Second room Lu Jinbei's marriage is scheduled for next May, several months earlier than Lu Jinlin!
Yang was a little angry, and couldn't help but stare back at Lu Tong, only to find that the man blinked at her twice, and then glanced at the second-bedroom couple sitting above them as if nothing had happened.

They have been married for almost 20 years. The relationship between husband and wife is good, and naturally there is some tacit understanding. Yang, who was a little angry at first, understood Lu Tong's meaning in an instant, and pursed her lips a little bit unwillingly, comforting herself to look at it first. .

The Fang family of the second room first set their sights on Xiaofengyuan. As early as the day when Lu Jinkang was made the crown prince, Fang's aimed at Xiaofengyuan.

As the eldest son, Lu Jinkang will move to Xuhui Garden sooner or later. Could it be that Lu Jinkang can continue to occupy Xiaofengyuan?
After extensive expansion before the marriage and Su Yunduo's meticulous tidying up after the marriage, Xiaofeng Garden is already the most exquisite courtyard in the Zhen Guogong Mansion.

It's just that Fang's thoughts were quickly shattered by Lu Yue. Although Fang still didn't take it seriously, the conversation between Lu Jinkang and An's today completely shattered the expectation in Fang's heart. .

In this way, the Fang family can only settle for the next best thing. After all, Qinggui Garden is also a good courtyard. If the small courtyard next to it is included in it, even if it is not as good as Xiaofengyuan, it is far better than Shuiqing garden.

Of course, the premise is that Shuiqing Garden will no longer undergo expansion and renovation!
Although there is no clear definition between the several houses of the Zhen Guogong Mansion, there is a general range.

Of course, if Da Xu hadn't chosen Xiaofengyuan for Lu Jinkang back then, the place where the second house now lives should belong to Da Fang.

The Green Osmanthus Court really does not have the turn of the second house, so Lu Jinbai may only live in the Shuiqing Court to get married.

Fang sighed in her heart, her man was not outstanding and he was the second son, and now being able to rely on the resources of the mansion to be a servant in the Ministry of War is pretty good.

When the two old people above closed their eyes and left, the mansion in Nuo Da belonged to the big house, and the other houses had to be chosen elsewhere.

Fortunately, when the property was divided, the old man was fairly fair. He divided them into a large courtyard with seven rooms and five entrances. Fang needs more rooms, which Fang is quite satisfied with.

Although the three-bedroom courtyard is not as grand as the Zhenguo Mansion, they are already very good compared to the children of many aristocratic and eunuch families in the capital. After all, they have a house and a property in their hands, so they can move out immediately. , and will not panic.

Now that the two elders are still healthy, how can they still enjoy a few more years in the Zhen Guogong's mansion, so they can enjoy what they should enjoy.

That Green Osmanthus Courtyard is so good at tidying up, it is quite good for Brother Ba to get married.

Fang Shi was thinking about it miscellaneously, and felt a gaze on her body. When she raised her eyebrows, she saw that An Shi was looking at her with a questioning look, but she had just deserted, and she didn't know what An Shi was doing. What is the cause of this inquiring gaze?

Embarrassed, Fang glanced sideways at the man sitting beside her, but the man had no intention of helping her.

Fang tried her best to calm herself down, and suddenly her son who was still in Beibian City flashed through her mind, and Fang suddenly had an idea in her heart.

She frowned slightly, coughed lightly and said: "Brother Baker's marriage was originally scheduled for May next year, but now Brother Baker is still in the northern city and I don't know when he will return. Whether this marriage will be on schedule, the daughter-in-law is not sure." There is no bottom."

An's just smiled lightly and said: "Although Brother Bei and Brother Lin are still in the border town, their marriage still needs to be prepared according to the normal wedding date. First tell me if you have a yard you like, I The Green Osmanthus Courtyard next to your Chengxin Garden is very good, why don't you clean up that courtyard?"

Although Fang's heart also likes Qinggui Garden, it's just that An's directly named Qinggui Garden, for some reason, Fang's heart feels a little uncomfortable.

Lu Jinkang is An's direct grandson, so isn't her brother-in-law An's direct grandson?

According to An's previous intention, Lu Jinkang and his wife were going to move to Xuhuiyuan, but they were allowed to occupy Xiaofengyuan.

Seeing Fang's frowning and not speaking, An's brows tightened, but he still asked in a gentle voice: "Does the second family have other better ideas?"

Although An's words were gentle, Lu Yue could hear displeasure from them.

Half a year ago, Fang Fang had been nagging in his ears about the house for his son's marriage. Now that it was on the table, why did this woman hesitate to speak?

Could it be that she really fell in love with Brother Kang's Xiaofengyuan, but he had already explained to her that she should not stare at Xiaofengyuan.

Lu Yue understood very well in his heart that even if Lu Jinkang and his wife moved to Xuhuiyuan, Xiaofengyuan would not fall into the hands of others. It was impossible for their second room, and it was also impossible for the other rooms. With Lu Jinkang's strength and his attitude towards that The feelings in the courtyard are beyond anyone's imagination!

Lu Yue frowned and glared at Fang Shi displeasedly, then turned to look at An Shi and replied with a smile: "I think the Green Osmanthus Garden that mother said is very good, since it was cleaned up for Brother Baker to get married, mother, Do you think it is possible to enclose the small courtyard next to it into Qinggui Garden?"

Fang Shi, who was about to speak, suddenly shut his mouth. It is more appropriate for Lu Yue, who is his son, to bring up such words than her.

If An Shi could really agree to include the small courtyard next to Qinggui Garden into Qinggui Garden, no matter how hard he cleaned up the whole place, Qinggui Garden would not be much worse than Xiaofeng Garden, so he couldn't help but give Lu Yue an appreciative look.

Lu Yue glanced at Fang's indifferently, women really have long hair and short knowledge, and their eyes only focus on one place. If they want to get something, there are many ways!

The husband and wife thought they had a good deal in the lawsuit, but they all fell into the eyes of An Shi who was sitting at the top. He glanced at the calculating faces of the sons and daughters-in-law below, and then glanced at the indifferent faces. Lu Jinkang and Su Yunduo couldn't help but sighed inwardly.

She brought up several sons by herself, and even the concubine Lu Tong could be said to have grown up under her eyes, but none of them won her heart like Lu Jinkang.

Even if she really had a preference for the big house in her heart, compared to the old ladies in other mansions, An's thought it was very fair, and did not favor any one in particular.

According to the inheritance, this Zhen Guo Gong Mansion will belong to the big house sooner or later, and the other houses will have to be moved out of the Zhen Guo Gong Mansion.

An's is not that kind of harsh person, as long as his children and grandchildren live in this mansion for a day, they hope that they can live comfortably.

Even if Lu Yue doesn't mention it, the mansion will use this adjustment to make a reasonable arrangement. Among them, the small courtyard next to Qinggui Garden will be included as one of Qinggui Garden, and Fufeng Garden will also be expanded. The small courtyard between Furong Garden and Furong Garden is included in Fufeng Garden.

This plan was decided by the old couple together before Lu Mingyang went to Leyou Villa, but today An wanted to touch the minds of his sons and daughters-in-law first, so he kept it in his heart and didn't share it.

Everyone has selfishness. Anshi doesn't care if her sons and daughters-in-law have selfishness. As long as this selfishness is kept in the open, as long as it is not too much, Anshi thinks she can accept it, but the performance of several sons and daughters-in-law really makes her feel a little blocked. .

If I had known this, it would be better to tell the whole story from the beginning.

An's sighed secretly, and simply gave up thinking about his son and daughter-in-law, put aside all the disappointment or sadness in his heart, and made public the plan that he had discussed with Lu Tongmingyang in advance. public.

As soon as this plan came out, Fang Shi and Yang Shi couldn't help but feel hot on their faces when they were satisfied. What else do you not understand at this moment?
They thought they hid their thoughts very tightly, but they didn't know that their little thoughts could not hide from An Shi at all, and they even fell into the eyes of Lu Mingyang who was in Leyou Villa early on.

After An announced the plan to the public, he glanced at Sifang's daughter-in-law Zhao and said, "Brother Shu is still young, this adjustment has nothing to do with your Sifang, but your father left a message for you before going to Leyou Villa. You guys, if you want to expand the yard in your house, or if you want to renovate the yard you live in now, feel free to bring it up and start working together this time."

Mrs. Zhao is naturally envious of the other houses, but when she thinks that her son is only 11 years old now, and there are still several years before getting married, she doesn't know if she will be able to use it when she cleans it up.

Instead of doing useless work, it's better to take advantage of Lu Mingyang's words and decorate the inside and outside of Yilan Garden to make yourself more comfortable.

So Mrs. Zhao smiled at Mrs. An: "Since this is the case, my daughter-in-law will not refuse. There are just a few places in Yilan Garden that need to be repaired. At that time, I will ask my husband to find someone to draw a blueprint of the places that need to be repaired and hand them over to you." mother."

An's sighed again in her heart, none of the four daughters-in-law was worried, and there was more kindness and distress in the eyes that looked at Su Yunduo.
