The paths in the mansion have been renovated. In the past, they used thick and wide bluestone slabs. This bluestone slab was completely knocked out manually, which is extremely expensive.
After this young master entered the Duke of Qi's mansion, he renovated the ground in the mansion and threw all the blue bricks that were originally laid in the mansion into the open area from the front hall to the door of the mansion. He even bought some for Quanjude Grand Theater for use as steps and pedestals.
Taking advantage of the opportunity of repairing the roads in the mansion, I took the opportunity to build the five big kilns. There was no way. The fewer people know about this, the better. Otherwise, I would really not be able to explain why I built such a big kiln and stored so much food.
The roads in the mansion are now paved with cement, and anti-slip patterns are pressed on it. That is, when the cement is not yet penetrated, it is done with a hemp rope and it is done with a stone grinder. Drainage ditches and covers are also made on both sides.
On both sides of the road, what is planted now is not as yellow mud as before. Occasionally, some shrubs and ancient trees are removed on both sides of the road, and all the shrubs have grown beautiful green grass.
This young master never likes bushes. Perhaps because he rolled down the slope when he was a child, he was thorny inside and screamed. After a few days of not getting well, the tiger would also jump out from behind the bushes.
Well, anyway, I have a shadow on those things, but when it becomes like this, it becomes neat. What I yearn for the most is that there are a few big trees planted on the beautiful grass. Such a scenery will make me feel much more comfortable.
While admiring the surrounding scenery, I walked slowly. Not to mention me, even the girl who had always opposed my garden modification opinions, now felt that this scenery was unique. She also stepped on the grass on the roadside from time to time and picked an unknown wild flower.
"Brother, look, grandma and the others are there." Looking along with my sister's hand, there was a mat under the shade of the tree beside the pond that was comparable to golf grass. Grandma, mother and aunt were not sure what they were talking about, and she was very happy.
"Let's go." After walking along the road beside the stream with water surging, I finally stepped on the soft grass by the river. The soft grass made people feel like I was stepping on a cashmere carpet, with a light fragrance of grass, which made people feel much more relaxed.
After walking forward and saluted, he sat on the mat and smiled at his grandmother: "Grandma looks very good today. I can hear your angry laughter through this pond just now."
"That's right, grandma is with you, and she doesn't have to worry about food or clothing. What else can she be unhappy? Wuji, you have already given the ceremony, but you are still busy with the family all day long. Not to mention your mother, even grandma is worried that you, a little guy, will break your body." Grandma patted my head with a smile, with a friendly look on her face.
"Grandma, you don't need to worry. My grandson knows this. It's because of the outside world that I'm too busy and have little time to accompany my grandmother and aunt. Please forgive me." I said with a little shame.
When my grandmother and aunt arrived at our mansion, I could take two days out of five days, and each time I took an hour to accompany them, it was already the limit. There was no way. There was too much work in my hands, especially after the old housekeeper went to the grassland, I was so busy that I didn’t touch the ground. I had to worry about big and small things inside and outside the mansion, and I had to make some decisions.
Even if it is a roll of toilet paper, I have to sign and approve it. Well, the financial system I established has turned me, an outstanding young man, into a crazy situation. Now, I am considering whether I should hand over all the affairs at home to my girl.
As for my mother, now she brags and chats with her grandmother and aunt every day, occasionally goes out to shop, or fights against landlords, etc. In short, my mother's energy is much better than before.
But the girl likes to learn all the new things around me, whether it is scripts or financial problems. In short, if she leaves it to her, she will make it a good post. Otherwise, I will definitely be trapped in the vast ocean of account books and information now.
What makes me ashamed is that this girl has only been exposed to Arabic numerals for less than a year, but the Arabic numerals she wrote make me feel ashamed, at least it is much more beautiful than what I wrote.
As for the fifth brother Wuyi, this guy is currently in the learning stage. Well, this guy is not very smart, but I feel very pleased that he is very serious in doing things. No matter what, attitude determines everything. I think this sentence is right.
"Forgive me what sins, just do your business well. By the way, good grandson, now you are about to be seventeen, right?" Grandma counted with her fingers and looked at me.
"Silang has been almost half a year, and it has only been seventeen." My mother replied with a smile.
"Well, it's almost seventeen, good grandson, have you ever seen a woman you like these days? Can you tell my grandmother?" Grandma took my hand and asked quietly in my ear.
When I heard this, what flashed in my eyes was nothing but someone else, but Li Yaoguang was holding a sharp blade in his hand and rushing towards the tiger resolutely. She also fought with Duan Yiniang alone, with the sword flashing, and the raised eyebrows and determined eyes when the sparks burst.
I felt a warm hand covering the back of my hand. As soon as I raised my eyes, I saw my grandmother's clear and kind eyes. "What, is it that my grandson really has the one I like?"
"...No, this is really not." Could this be a shameful person? The girl's force is too high, and she often threatens me with fists at a gentleman like me. What if domestic violence occurs one day? Well, the perpetrator must be that girl. When I think of this, I shuddered.
Although he doesn't judge his wife by force, he must be quite good at seeing his wife dancing with swords and getting a lot of money every day.
Besides, this girl doesn't want to get married too early. If the young master comes to propose marriage, he might just leave the Li mansion and get beaten up with a sack. This is a thankless thing, let's forget it. Well, although I have matured and feel that spring is coming, I have the urge to pick up girls, but I still calmly check the situation first.
Women in this era seem to have a lot of martial power. Except for my sister, Duan Yiniang, and Li Yaoguang, you can beat me up on my son alone. Sweat...
"My grandson has thought about it. Now, my grandson is still young, not to mention that his career has not yet been achieved. It is too early to get married. It is really inappropriate. My grandson is still thinking about spending more time with my mother, and of course you and my aunt. So, please forgive me." This young master naturally had to give enough reasons so that my grandmother could not be like my mother, and always thought about being a matchmaker for me.
"Haha, okay, just pretend you don't have it, but grandma still wants to wait to see her great-grandson. Wuji, don't let my grandma down, do you know?" Grandma's eyes that had experienced years seemed to see through people's hearts, as if she had seen through my thoughts. However, she smiled gently and did not mention it, which finally made me feel relieved.
"Now nearly a month has passed, and I don't know where your uncle has been." Grandma's eyes fell into the clear and green pond water. On the left side of the pond, there were more than a dozen water lilies planted near the water pavilion. At this moment, these water lilies have stretched their round leaves on the water surface, and gently rippled with the dripping waves.
"It should be almost time to Liaodong. Last year, His Majesty set out from Luoyang and arrived in Liaodong, and it took him a month to go." I calculated and answered.
"Well, it's been a long time since it's almost summer. I think it's not too cold in Liaodong." Grandma sighed softly.
"Grandma, please rest assured. My grandson has prepared a lot of good things for my uncle. There are two sleeping bags for duck down, including a vest, cloak and winter clothes made of duck down, as well as fur gloves and fur boots. Even if it is ice and snow, it cannot freeze my uncle's." I quickly comforted me.
Grandma is just my uncle and my mother. Now, my uncle, who has never been away from, actually joins the army to go on an expedition to Goguryeo. No wonder my grandma can't rest assured.
"Haha, grandma knows that you are filial, and your aunt has told me that you have heard that your uncle is going to go to war with the emperor. You are more anxious than anyone else. The things you give to your uncle are almost a big cart, and your uncle doesn't want it." Grandma couldn't help but smile.
"Because I believe that my uncle will not have any wars that he needs to participate in when he goes to Liaodong. The only thing he is worried about is that he is afraid that his uncle will get sick, so he specially prepared these things to make sure he is doing everything." My answer also made my grandmother feel relieved. After all, she also knew that his uncle followed the emperor to act.
There were thirty or forty civil officials like him who followed the emperor to personally fight. Their mission was naturally not to go to the battlefield, and to recite poems and write counterfeits in front of the enemy. All they had to do was to accompany the emperor to make nonsense or handle some affairs.
What's more, when the army of the Great Sui Dynasty attacked Liaodong City, Yang Xuangan would twist yangge, wave yellow handkerchiefs, and call them affectionately, asking them to come back soon. Anyway, I don't believe that my uncle would be in danger if I beat him to death. Of course, except for meteorites falling from the sky.
After a while, after seeing my grandmother who needed lunch break, only the girl and I were left here. At this time, Wu Yi, who had already finished his homework, was carrying a wooden barrel and a fishing rod, heading towards us. When he saw us, he waved to us excitedly.
"Stupid brat, why do you want to eat fish?" This young master couldn't help but smile when he saw Wu Yi coming over with great enthusiasm. "Have you finished all the homework assigned to you?"
