The Pretty Eldest Daughter of a Scholar's Family

Chapter 803 Everyone Satisfied

After his son's full moon, Su Yunduo regained control of the central government of Zhen Guogong.

The wide range of adjustments in the mansion is the only one in decades. Although the repairs and renovations of the mansion's courtyards are mainly presided over by the housekeepers, the burden on Su Yunduo's shoulders is still heavy.

Now that the New Year's Eve is just around the corner, she is already busy with the accounts of the public office, the big house, and the property in the hands of the young couple. Brother Huan is breastfeeding, can Su Yunduo really be busy?

Naturally, Lu Jinkang also thought of this, and since he sat down, the hand he had been holding with Su Yunduo with his wide sleeves tightened involuntarily.

Su Yunduo doesn't think there's anything wrong with it. Now the middle court is divided into several pieces and governed by several aunts. The repair, expansion and renovation mainly depends on the stewards of the outer courtyard, and the inner courtyard only needs to cooperate vigorously.

Besides, this matter is related to the interests of each house, so simply leave the matters that each house needs to cooperate with to each house to watch over. She is the prime minister's overall situation, and there should not be much more to do.

In fact, Mrs. An informed Su Yunduo of the adjustment plan of the mansion as early as the day when Lu Mingyang became the storekeeper and went to Leyou Villa. After all, the adjustment of the mansion cannot be separated from the strong cooperation of Su Yunduo, the actual power holder in the middle.

An's original plan was for Su Yunduo to announce the matter, but Su Yunduo felt that it was a matter of great importance in the mansion, and it would cause unnecessary misunderstanding if it came out of her, a junior daughter-in-law, so it was An's announcement.

Su Yunduo also had some opinions about the courtyard where Lu Jinbai and Lu Jinlin used to get married. After An's told her the plan, they compared the two and found that there was not much difference.

If there is a discrepancy, it is probably because Lu Mingyang considered An Shi's mood, so there was a slight difference in the budget for repairing the yard for the two young masters, and the cost given to Lu Jinbai was slightly higher than Lu Jinlin's.

After all, Lu Jinbai came from the concubine's wife, and Lu Jinlin came from the concubine's house, so Lu Jinlin's identity was slightly worse.

When An Shi and Su Yunduo talked about this matter, they were very disdainful of Lu Mingyang's little thoughtfulness, and told Su Yunduo to treat Lu Jinlin equally when repairing, and not to despise Lu Jinlin.

Su Yunduo doesn't care about this. From her point of view, Lu Jinbei and Lu Jinlin are both descendants of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, whether they are the descendants of the concubine or the concubine. It's not a big deal, and besides, giving some more money can make all the houses in the house live in harmony, so why wouldn't she do it? !
Compared to the excited or calculating expressions of the daughters-in-law, Su Yunduo looked indifferent, An felt very relieved, and said again: "I have entrusted the matter of inviting the craftsmen to the housekeeper. The plan for expansion and renovation has been finalized, report your plan to Brother Kang's daughter-in-law first, and then discuss it in detail after finding a craftsman. In short, this expansion and renovation will try to satisfy everyone."

As soon as An's words came out, the daughter-in-laws in the room naturally smiled.

An Shi glanced at everyone, put the teacup that had just been filled with boiling water on the table in front of him heavily and said, "To satisfy everyone is not to make everyone pay attention to extravagance endlessly, everything should be done in moderation."

The daughters-in-law who were planning how to take this opportunity to renovate to make themselves and their sons live more comfortably and luxuriously put away those thoughts that they shouldn't have.

Su Yunduo glanced at the aunts in several rooms calmly, and exchanged a glance with Lu Jinkang, the corners of the couple's mouths twitched in unison.

Ginger is still old and spicy.

Both Su Yunduo and Lu Jinkang knew in their hearts that the words An added later could save Su Yunduo a lot of tongue and trouble in the next expansion and renovation.

Seeing the daughters-in-law put away the ecstasy and calculations that were visible at a glance on their faces, An felt quite satisfied, and was about to wave everyone away, but she heard Fang ask: "Shuiqing Garden was expanded and remodeled two years ago. , do you want to move this time?"

An's brows were slightly frowned, what does Fang mean?
She glanced at Yang and Zhao from the corner of her eyes again, only to see that the two daughters-in-law were also staring at her, and her slightly frowned eyebrows couldn't help but tightened a bit.

Before Lu Mingyang went to Leyou Villa, he mentioned that the expansion of Shuiqing Garden might cause opposition from other houses, but An's retorted that Lu Mingyang said that it was absolutely impossible, but Lu Mingyang hit it right.

"Although Shuiqingyuan was just expanded and remodeled two years ago, due to the rush of time and lack of thoughtfulness at the time, I just took this opportunity to make some renovations." An said calmly, suppressing the displeasure in her heart. .

As soon as An's words finished, Lu Jinkang, who had been silent all this time, glanced at everyone coldly before waiting for any reaction from his uncles and aunts, and said, "Second brother's yard has been remodeled, and the elder brother will take care of all the expenses."

"No! Your grandfather left a message. This time all the repairs, renovation and expansion of the courtyard will be paid by the mansion. The matter of Shuiqingyuan was also explained by your grandfather. It can't be because your big house has no elders, and Brother Zhen and his wife are not here. The mansion treats them badly." An's categorically expressed what she and Lu Mingyang wanted.

As soon as An's words came out, no matter how careful Fang and the others were, they had to keep their mouths shut.

Especially Yang Shi was even more afraid to speak. In the letter sent back by Lu Jinlin, she knew that Lu Jinzhen had saved Lu Jinlin's life. If Lu Jinzhen hadn't protected Lu Jinlin, Lu Jinlin would have been seriously injured if he didn't die!
In fact, in this battle between Dongling Kingdom and Beichen Kingdom, Lu Jinzhen did more than just save Lu Jinlin. In terms of strength, Lu Jinbai, who was in Lu Jinlin's body at the time, was also likely to be seriously injured.

In other words, Lu Jinzhen saved Lu Jinlin and Lu Jinbei with one shot.

Compared with the life of his son, what is the transformation of Shuiqingyuan?
Fang lowered her head, not daring to say more.

"Okay, it's getting late, each go back and think about how to expand and renovate, and bring your ideas to Brother Kang's daughter-in-law as soon as possible. Try to finalize the plan before the beginning of the year, and start construction after the beginning of spring. Don't miss Brother Ba wedding date." Seeing that the daughters-in-law stopped talking, An's tone softened.

In the next few days, the aunts in several rooms began to get busy.

Although this adjustment, the big house is the big head, because Lu Da and Xiao Xu's people are temporarily unable to come back in the border town, and the Xuhui Courtyard is naturally unable to move for the time being. remodel.

Although Ci'an Court has been uninhabited for more than ten or twenty years, it is the focus of the renovation of the mansion every year, so it does not feel desolate and desolate from the outside and inside of the house. The courtyard is obviously well protected very good.

According to An Shi's wishes, she and Lu Mingyang can move to Ci'an Court just by cleaning up and picking an auspicious day.

Naturally, Su Yunduo and Lu Jinkang did not follow. Even if Ci'an Garden was managed better, there would always be something unsatisfactory if it had been left unoccupied for a long time. No one would be able to lose to the two old people, so it was necessary to take care of Ci'an Garden. repairs and renovations.

Lu Jinkang's recent errands are not too busy. In order to reduce the burden on Su Yunduo, he took over the burden of repairing and renovating Ci'an Garden, and even took over the expansion and renovation of Shuiqing Garden.

"You can take care of your own affairs with peace of mind. Leave Ci'an Garden and Shuiqing Garden to me. They will definitely satisfy you!" This day, Lu Jinkang didn't wait for Brother Huan, who had just had enough milk, to fall asleep, so he let Bai Zhi hug her. Brother Huan went back to the wing, put his arms around Su Yunduo and said.

Su Yunduo rolled his eyes and said angrily: "What are you talking about! I don't live in Ci'an Garden and Shuiqing Garden, what's the use of being satisfied! Hurry up and send the renovation plan of Shuiqing Garden to Go to Boni City to have a look at the second brother and the second younger siblings, they must be satisfied! As for Ci'an Garden, it is only good if the grandparents are satisfied!"

Lu Jinkang tightened his hands slightly: "Yes, yes, my wife is more thoughtful than I am. How about this, I will take the time tomorrow to find out the plan of Shuiqingyuan first, and then give it to me after you have read it. I will send a message to my second brother." The urgent mail has passed. Over there in Ci'an Court, since the grandparents won't let you make any big moves, let's start from the details and make them live comfortably and happily. Ma'am, do you think this is feasible?"

Su Yunduo pursed his lips and chuckled, Lu Jinkang, once he became serious, he would consider the issue meticulously and thoughtfully, no, in just a few words, he arranged the affairs of Ci'an Garden and Shuiqing Garden almost comprehensively.

House repairs in the mansion are a major event. Even though the capital has also started snowing after the winter month, the freezing weather is not a good time for repairs and renovations. The stewards of the outer courtyard quickly found suitable craftsmen.

Although each house has great enthusiasm for this house repair, expansion and transformation, in the end, it is far inferior to Lu Jinkang and Su Yunduo in terms of ability. The third room has no idea yet, and the husband and wife even had swear words because of their own thoughts, which made An Shi and Su Yunduo dumbfounded.

Fortunately, Mrs. An kept a hand and ordered the housekeeper to take the craftsmen to inspect several courtyards that needed to be repaired and expanded, and let the craftsmen design according to the meaning of each house.

Among the craftsmen of Dongling Kingdom, there are technicians who are specially responsible for the design. Although they are far less professional than the engineers of the previous construction and decoration company, they are not slow to produce plans quickly.

Half a month later, they designed an expansion and renovation plan and drawing papers based on the on-site inspection and the opinions of each house and sent them to the Zhenguo Mansion, and they also sent a technician to explain carefully.

An's read the plans and drawings, and listened to the technicians' explanations. He was very satisfied with the designs of the technicians, but he did not make decisions without authorization. Instead, he sent the plans and drawings to each room for them to make their own decisions.

The day when the technicians visited Zhen Guogong’s mansion in person was the day when they were taking a bath in the middle of the court. Several uncles were at the scene that day, and Lu Jinkang even accompanied them throughout the whole process. The purpose and budget of the project are handed over to the technician, which is convenient for the technician to formulate the plan and produce the design drawing.

With Lu Jinkang's prior explanation, the technician had a good idea, and the plan he came up with would naturally not deviate too much from the budget.

After seeing the plan and design of Qinggui Garden, and listening to the technician's explanation, Fang found that the plan and design of the technician were more comprehensive and perfect than her own imagination in every aspect, and she was overjoyed.

But thinking of the Fufeng Garden in the third room, Fang temporarily suppressed this joy in her heart, and was completely relieved when the maid beside her gave her the definite news.

No matter how much Fufengyuan's plan satisfies Sanfang, as long as the budget does not exceed Qinguiyuan, it will be fine.

Su Yunduo and An's naturally saw the undercurrent between several rooms, but as long as everyone was satisfied with the result, they would be relieved.

As long as the fighting between the several rooms is not excessive, they will turn a blind eye and close their eyes as if they didn't see it.

If it crosses the boundary, let alone An's, even Su Yunduo will not let it go.

The victory over Beichen Kingdom this time pushed the Zhen Guo Duke's Mansion to an unprecedented height. The Holy Majesty even proposed to Lu Mingyang that he should be crowned King of a different surname because of the outstanding military achievements of the Zhen Guo Duke Mansion, but Lu Mingyang flatly rejected it.

Lu Mingyang's mind is very clear. There are many things in the past dynasties that "the cunning rabbit dies, the lackey cooks; the flying birds are exhausted, and the good bow is hidden". Woolen cloth?

Compared to burying disasters for his descendants, Lu Mingyang prefers to keep the Zhen Guo government standing upright.

Wang with a different surname seems to have a good reputation, but the risks involved are far from being compensated by the good news.

It's just that the meritorious service of the Duke of Zhenuo this time is too great. Although the idea of ​​being crowned king was finally dispelled by the Holy One, after this battle, the Duke of Zhenguo rewarded the Duke of Zhenuo very generously.

Several children who participated in the war were named generals ranging from the fourth rank to the sixth rank according to their merits.

Lu Jinkang became the youngest third-rank official in Dongling Kingdom's history, and the Holy Majesty handed over the defense of the entire palace and the capital to Lu Jinkang.

Of course, Lu Jinmin didn't let His Majesty worry about it. Since he took over the heavy responsibility, he has lit several fires in a row. In just one month, the defense of the capital and the palace has improved by more than one level.

Since the victory of the battle with Beichen Kingdom, the status of the Zhen Guo Gongfu in the Dongling Kingdom has become more and more unbreakable, and Lu Jinkang is also in full swing. The reason why the Zhen Guo Gong Mansion chose to carry out the renovation of the mansion at this time is because it is really needed. The second is to digest some of the eyes that fell on the Zhen Guo Gongfu, making people feel that the Zhen Guo Gong Mansion is just like other mansions, and it also needs to be repaired and lived.

At such a sensitive time, it is natural not to allow discord between the various rooms.

Mrs. Fang is complacent because the budget for the expansion and renovation of Qinggui Garden is slightly higher than that of Fufeng Garden, but Mrs. Yang is not disappointed because the budget of Fufeng Garden is slightly lower than that of Qinggui Garden, because there are many expansion and reconstruction plans for Fufeng Garden sent by the technicians. The place was beyond her expectations, and the cost of the budget exceeded her expectations.

As the only concubine in the Zhen Guogong's mansion, with such a result, Yang felt that she really had nothing to complain about.

Compared with her cousin, who is Lu Jinlin's future mother-in-law, Yang feels that she is too lucky. Although her cousin is the eldest daughter-in-law of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, she seems to be more beautiful than her, but her life is far away. It's not as good as her living a carefree and rich life.
