Chapter 88:

Gu Suier had heard Xiao Heng talk about how the prince’s mansion was repaired before, but she hadn’t seen it yet, and now I went in to find out that this courtyard was originally the residence of the former empire’s important minister. , Now it was built according to the layout of the Prince's Mansion and used by Xiao Heng.
After entering the second door, Xiao Heng led Gu Suier forward, passing through corridors and crescent gates, Gu Suier was a little dizzy.
"Should we only live in such a big house?"
This house looks not smaller than the former Ruiding Hou’s Mansion, but in the past Ruiding Hou’s Mansion had a big room with two bedrooms and three bedrooms. Everyone lived in separate houses, and they didn’t feel that the space was too wide. Now only Xiao Heng lives with her. I always feel that this house is too big.
"Now it's only us." Xiao Heng thought she was tired, and took her hand to the white marble bench next to the corridor and sat down.
"What about then?" Gu Suier heard this, as if anyone else would move in in the future?
Xiao Heng turned his head and glanced at her, then looked towards the courtyard, and said indifferently, "There will be Ah Chen and Ah Chen's wife and children in the future."
Gu Suier didn't expect this, she was startled slightly, and couldn't help muttering: "From then on, if we have a few children, wouldn't it be possible to have two bedrooms, three bedrooms and four bedrooms..."
In this way, it will be like Ruiding Hou’s Mansion. Everyone has their own courtyard, and each other can visit each other and walk a few steps.
Xiao Heng was silent for a moment, and said, "If you can give birth to so many, you can."
At first, Gu Suier only thought that there were more people in one room to become popular, but she didn't expect how many problems there would be, and she was almost choked by her saliva right now.
So many children, who gave birth to her?
She suddenly felt guilty, blushed, and quickly looked at other places.
I saw that the bench they were sitting on now happened to be able to see the lake and mountains on the side of the corridor. The summer lake was verdant green and the wind blew by, bringing fresh water vapor, fresh and moving.
"There is also a lake here, but there are no trees or flowers beside this lake."
"I haven't started planting yet. I wanted you to come and see before planting." Xiao Heng said, "Look at what you want to plant."
Gu Suier looked at the lake and blinked, "Anything is fine?"
Xiao Heng: "Well, it's up to you."
The tone of this remark was as cool as it was when we first met, but Gu Suier could hear the warmth.
In such a big garden, he will follow her what to plant?
She pursed her lips and chuckled, holding his hand, and deliberately asked, "Really?"
Xiao Heng saw a rare naughty gleam in her clear eyes, like a fish crossing the sparkling lake, reflecting a moving light in the sunlight.
He nodded: "Yeah."
Gu Suier saw him say this, but said: "Then I am like a piece of millet and wheat?"
Xiao Heng was startled, and then looked at the naughty flashing in her eyes, and suddenly realized that she was deliberate.
"It's not bad." He still said.
"Then you can let someone plant them, and ask for a few more varieties. When the autumn harvest comes, here is yellow and orange, so we can harvest grain!"
"..." Xiao Heng: "OK."
Gu Suier knew that he was just talking about it.
Today, the five princes are newly recognizing their ancestors and returning to their ancestors, and they have given them a mansion. I don’t know how many people watched it. They couldn’t welcome colleagues and friends when they opened the mansion.
So after talking about this, Gu Suier didn't take it too seriously, and went to look elsewhere.
Look at what flowers to grow here, where to raise what grasses, and where to arrange them. Xiao Heng discussed with Gu Suier on this side, and he had already ordered the other side to go down. The same, how to arrange it, follow the intention of taking care of Suier.
After talking for a while, the two of them got up and started to move on. Who knows at this time, only two young men came over with their heads down, they were holding a soft couch.
It's the kind of soft couch in the middle that one can lie down on top, and it's carried by two straight sticks next to it.
Gu Suier glanced at Xiao Heng in surprise.
Xiao Heng explained with a blank face: "We don't have a soft sedan in the mansion, let someone rush to control this first."
Just opened the house, how can I think so well.
This mansion is too big, she is really tired if she walks through the second door as a woman.
Gu Suier didn't expect to rest for a while. He had already made a soft couch for her to sit on, and she couldn't believe it for a while.
Blinked and looked at him suspiciously.
However, Xiao Heng would never see anything on his face.
She couldn't help but smile for a while, approached him, and said softly, "San Ye is really nice."
He had taught himself a poem before, called Runwu Silent. He didn't like to talk, but he thought about everything in his heart and was considerate everywhere.
Sitting on a soft couch is indeed much more comfortable.
Especially when she was sitting on a soft couch and the five princes walking beside her, she felt that this comfort was really precious.
Sitting on the soft couch, they quickly arrived at the main room they were going to live in. As soon as they entered, Gu Suier discovered it.
"It's also called Tingzhuyuan?"
"Bamboo is also planted here?"
"The bamboos here are a bit like the ones we heard from Zhuyuan!"
She couldn't help looking back and forth. The blue-brick and glazed-tile house was brand new. It was two entrances. There was a small pavilion and a rockery in the middle courtyard. In the corner were faint bamboo shadows.
The wind blew and the rustle sounded, but it was a bit like the Tingzhuyuan of Ruiding Hou's Mansion, which made her like it more. After all, I've been used to living in Zhuyuan for so long.
Gu Suier was wearing a light yellow gauze skirt today. She jumped from the soft couch, walking with a graceful waist and gentle steps.
In the rustle, the wind blew across the bamboo in the yard, and also slightly lifted her tender yellow gauze skirt, revealing the small gouache embroidered shoes inside.
She walked around happily in front of and behind the house, with anticipation in her eyes. She looked here and there curiously, like a tender yellow butterfly moving with the wind.
Xiao Heng was originally standing there, but at this time he couldn't help but stretched out his hand and held the light and cheerful little butterfly.
He lowered his head and asked in a mute voice: "Shall we live here in the future?"
Give birth to children here and spend the rest of their time.
Gu Suier was excited at this moment.
She likes it here, and feels that this is her lifetime home.
In retrospect, Tingzhuyuan in Ruiding Hou's Mansion before, even though she knew that she would always be by Xiao Heng's side, and knew that she would always live there, but there still couldn't give her the taste of home.
Perhaps it was because she had walked there with trepidation and trepidation. Even if her helplessness was slowly appeased later, she still couldn't feel that it was her own place.
But now, in such a big house, she will always live here in the future, taking care of it carefully, planting flowers, grass and crops. Her little Achen will also grow up here, marry a wife and have children, and she may even be here. In the courtyard of the house, children and grandchildren are round their knees.
"Well, good!" She nodded with a smile.
Xiao Heng looked at her silently, and when she smiled, he saw sunlight jumping on her eyebrows.
He used his hand to pull her into his arms, as if he was hugging a butterfly dancing in the warm sun.
"San Ye?" She bit her lip lightly and looked at him in his arms.
He raised his hand and touched her eyes. He always felt that clear spring water was flowing in those eyes, which could reflect the fine light.
"I think this... very good."
He folded his arms, gathered the lightly spreading butterfly in his arms, then lowered his head, and gently printed her eyes with his lips.
Gu Suier closed her eyes, and she could feel the cool faint lips, like a gentle breeze.
Gu Suier had been busy for three or four days before he was almost settled.
What should be placed where, and which maidservant should be on duty, these need to be scheduled. At the beginning, Gu Suier was very busy. Later, she asked Guizhi to write them down for her. She took the roster and pondered it, and slowly it was settled.
In addition to the former servants in Ruiding Hou's Mansion, Xiao Heng really bought another batch of them. Most of these were experienced and conditioned maids bought from the south.
With too many manpower, it would be even more bothersome to manage it. Gu Suier simply divided the manpower between Guizhi and Mother An. Mother An took care of the outside and Guizhi took care of the inside.
As for those purchased from outside, look at it slowly, if there are suitable ones, they can be promoted and reused.
After a few days of work, Gu Suier was so tired that she hardly knew the east and west, and her back was sore. She lay there humming and didn't want to move.
In the past, I only felt that the wife of the wealthy family had a good life and could take care of the people underneath, and there were many people who were waiting for them, and they didn’t need to do any rough work. Now it’s her turn to be the family, she knew that this is not a good job. It takes a lot of thought just to deal with the food and clothing of these maidservants, let alone arranging work schedules for them, and I don’t know how much effort it takes.
After the initial placement was completed, Gu Suier was about to catch her breath, only to realize that there was much more waiting for her next.
Newly entered the palace of the prince, it is necessary to enter the palace to thank you, and it is also etiquette to ask Ruiding Houfu to come and play in the palace. This pile of favors is important and cannot be delayed.
She didn't understand this at all, and she had to thank the mother next to her for a little bit of trouble, and Guizhi took her small notebook to write it down, so she could barely get confused.
This is because she only knows the grandmothers of Ruiding Houfu, otherwise, there will be more trouble.
"Thanks in the palace, I have to go together, right?"
Gu Suier asked this while helping Xiao Heng undress.
Gu Suier thought about the last time she entered the palace, she felt a little timid, if she had to do it, she really didn't want to go again.
Xiao Heng lowered his head and watched Gu Suier unfasten his belt and put on his purse, then took off his belt, and said quietly, "Go."
Gu Suier got up and helped him take off his robe, and heard him say: "Achen always has to go to the palace more in the future, and so do you."
He doesn't have a concubine, as the only concubine of rank in his mansion, she should enter the palace to please the queen according to etiquette during the New Year.
Gu Suier was a little helpless, but still said, "Okay, I'll go."
People have to do what they are forced to do.
If she marries a peasant woman in the country, she must learn to chop wood, grow the land and kill pigs, and if she marries the prince of the heavenly family, she must learn to manage the maidservant in the palace.
Gu Suier now also understands this truth.
If you don't want to go, you have to bite the bullet and learn to go slowly.
