Passing the Eldest Princess’s Mansion, Yin Hui continued the introductions, saying, “This is the home of your Eldest Aunt, the daughter of the Imperial Grandmother. You haven’t seen her before,” but the children showed little interest.
Finally, when the Shu Mansion came into view, Xiao Heng excitedly exclaimed, “This is our new home!”
Yin Hui smiled and nodded.
As the carriage stopped, the two brothers eagerly went out, and Wei Luo, dismounting from his horse, walked over, embracing one in each hand.
Each mansion was equipped with officials such as the chief history, seals, dishes, and medicines. Because Emperor Yongping had just ascended the throne and had a lot of things to do, he only appointed one butler for each son for the time being. Ms. Chang was fully responsible for supervising the renovation of the palace and the purchase of servants, etc., and would improve it little by little after the sons and daughters-in-law lived in.
At that moment, Sun Han, the governor of the Shu Palace, led a total of more than fifty male and female servants to wait in front of the door. When they saw the masters, they quickly knelt down to salute.
Wei Luo asked him about the renovation of the palace, and then he took Yin Hui and the children in, and there were Jinzhan, Yinzhan, An Shun’er, Chang Feng, and other old men from Chengxin Hall watching over the servants to carry the bags.
The maids in the upper room were going in and out for a while. Wei Luo held Xiao Ning in his arms, and while leading the way, said to Yin Hui and the children, “There is a courtyard over the garden, let’s go there to rest first.”
The three naturally listened to him.
Although it was the winter moon, the garden was still full of green trees, and even some camellias were in full bloom.
“Mother, look, there are flowers there!” Xiao Xun said in amazement and ran over to it.
Xiao Ning also moved in her father’s arms, and after being put down by Wei Luo, the girl ran towards Camellia. Xiao Heng followed his sister every step of the way.
Yin Hui continued to pretend that it was the first time she had come to Jiangnan, looked around, and smiled at Wei Luo, saying, “I heard grandfather talk about the winter scenery in Jiangnan. I still didn’t believe it. So it turns out that here it’s really like spring all year round.”
Wei Luo said, “It’s just that the scenery is like spring, and the weather is still cold, so don’t wear summer clothes rashly.”
Yin Hui gave him a look, saying, “In your eyes, am I that kind of person who only cares about fashion?”
Wei Luo thought of the many boxes she had filled. If she were not fashionable, there would be no fashionable woman in the world.
While they were talking, Xiao Xun picked up a red camellia and handed it to Xiao Ning.
Xiao Ning was going to wear it on her head, so Xiao Heng took the flower and carefully inserted it into the little bun on one side for his sister.
Xiao Ning knew that she had become beautiful, so she turned around slowly and let her parents see.
The family of five stopped in the garden for a while then left, and finally arrived at the residence in the north of the garden. That was a house built in imitation of a small farmyard. There were three rooms in the middle, and the front and back were yards, surrounded by fences.
The previous owner of that mansion longed for the joy of the countryside, and it was inconvenient to go to the farm. So he built a hall in the garden. After Wei Luo came there to see it, he told the person in charge to keep it, just refurbish it, and there was no need to demolish it.
“Why?Do you also want to farm the fields yourself?” The children were playing in the yard, and Yin Hui sat in the hall with Wei Luo, teasing while drinking tea.
Wei Luo said, “If we have time, we can do it.”
Yin Hui looked at the yard, recalling that in her previous life, when the family of three had just moved there, in the second spring, Wei Luo had brought Xiao Heng to work for a day. They spent the morning planting vegetables in the front yard and transplanted a few fruit trees in the backyard in the afternoon, such as cherry, peach, jujube, and orange trees. Unfortunately, they were all small seedlings that did not bear fruit that year. Some flowers bloomed the next year, and the cherry trees produced a few green fruits. However, before the cherries could turn red, Yin Hui was reborn.
Yin Hui looked at Wei Luo and said, “Suddenly, I want to eat cherries.”
Wei Luo asked, “How can there be cherries in this season?”
Yin Hui snorted, “The less likely there may be, the more I want to eat.”
He took a look and said, “We will plant two cherries in the backyard next year.”
The place of Chengxin Hall was too small, so they couldn’t change it if they had any ideas. But the mansion was so big, it was up to the husband and wife to decide what to plant.
After hearing that, Yin Hui deliberately asked him, “I also want to eat lychees, can you grow them?”
Wei Luo just glanced at her.
Lychee liked heat and could only be grown in the south, which was a good idea.
