The Great Princess insisted on having the east room.
The second and third siblings refused to live next to each other, no matter what.
The Second Princess clamored to be adjacent to her parents.
Li Yuzhu jumped onto the drawn map, stepping on it so no one could see.
"I drew the map, listen to me."
The Great Princess sneered, "You may have drawn the map, but it’s not your house that’s being built, why should we listen to you?"
The Second Princess nodded, "Little sister, this time big sister is right, you can’t make the decision."
"I didn’t say I want to make decisions for everyone, I mean, let’s draw lots, wherever we draw, that’s the room we get." Li Yuzhu looked at everyone, "Father and Mother will live in the north room, no one is allowed to grab it, Brother and Sister-in-law will live in the south room, that’s unquestionable, the other rooms, everyone draws lots to decide."
The Princely Heir sighed in relief, "Little sister’s idea is good, fair."
Li Xing’an clapped his hands, "That’s a good idea."
Second Young Master Li Xingsheng looked around, "I’ll go find some lots."
"Father, what do you think, how’s this idea?" Li Yuzhu loudly asked Prince Luling.
As long as everyone stops arguing, who cares about the method?
Prince Luling had no opinions, "I think it’s feasible, second, have you found the lots?"
He asked his second son who was wandering around in the grass.
"Here they come." Second Young Master Li Xingsheng came over with a bunch of grass leaves, "We’ll number the rooms, the longest grass leaf is room number one, and so on."
The Great Princess loved to be first, "I want to draw lots first."
"Alright, alright, you first, hehe." Li Xing’an laughed mischievously.
He picked up a twig and marked the room numbers on the map Li Yuzhu had drawn.
Meanwhile, Second Young Master Li had already prepared the grass leaves, pinching them all to the same length.
The Great Princess went first to draw.
But unexpectedly pulled the shortest one.
Conversely, Li Yuzhu drew the longest one.
The longest one marked the east room, while the shortest one marked the west room.
Immediately, the Great Princess was so angry that her face darkened.
"Big sister, you gambled and lost, no cheating." Li Xing’an laughed heartily.
The Great Princess wanted to complain to the Princess Consort Luling but she wasn’t near, so she had no choice but to sulk.
Fine, they’re all bullying her!
Soon she’ll dig wild vegetables and eat them alone, hmph!
With the house location chosen, the Princely Heir accompanied Prince Luling back to the mountain first.
Li Yuzhu took the others to dig wild vegetables.
Portulaca grew on soil surface, no need for a shovel, just a twist and pull it out.
Everyone tasted the flavor of the vegetables and teamed up, filling up a whole basket.
The Great Princess, "..." She couldn’t have the wild vegetables all to herself at night?
After dinner, Liu the bricklayer indeed came up the mountain.
Prince Luling shared the chosen location with him.
Liu the bricklayer nodded, "I’ve seen this spot, building a house won’t be a problem, the feng shui and orientation are all good. Tomorrow, I’ll bring my sons and tools over."
After speaking, he looked worriedly at Li Yuzhu, "Miss Li, can you really manage to treat my eldest daughter-in-law’s illness well?"
Li Yuzhu nodded and smiled slightly, "When I was in the Capital, I learned medicine from a female doctor."
Liu the bricklayer hurriedly said, "Then please, Miss Li, come over tonight to see my eldest daughter-in-law."
Li Yuzhu blinked, "Has she agreed to be treated?"
Liu the bricklayer’s face was full of worry, "When I left, she had already fainted."
That means, whether she wants to be treated or not, she has to be.
Li Yuzhu immediately said, "I’ll go with you right away to see."
