In the end, Zhao Hongrun mumbled the topic vaguely, after all, he had not yet completely sorted out the tangled relationship with Mi Jiangna.
And Miss Su did not delve into the matter. After all, in her opinion, her lover was the majestic Prince Su, and it was ordinary to have a few women around him. Why bother to delve into it and make herself feel bad? Turn a blind eye and turn a blind eye.
That's fine, as long as he treats her well, that's not unacceptable.
I believe this is the common way of thinking of most women in this era.
After that, Zhao Hongrun and Miss Su chatted for a few more words, and then led them to the wing of the north room.
Taking the welcoming hall of the North House as the boundary, the North House actually consists of two parts, the East Garden and the West Garden. This is a commonly used mansion layout in the secular world.
Among them, the East Garden is where the hostess of the house lives, while the West Garden is a private guest room reserved for certain relatives and women. The entire north house is in the shape of a U, wrapping around it like a bag.
A pond with plants, flowers, and a large courtyard.
This is the inner courtyard.
As Zhao Hongrun's wife, Miss Su naturally lives in the Dongyuan Room in the North House.
It is said that they are Dongyuan elegant rooms. In fact, they are single-family wooden tile houses. Each house is surrounded by landscapes such as flower gardens, rockeries, and waterside pavilions. The layout is somewhat imitating the buildings in the palace, but at this scale, then
Far worse.
However, both Zhao Hongrun and Miss Su were very satisfied with this. After all, Meng Wei, the left minister of the Ministry of Industry, was particularly attentive to the renovation of the north house. Compared with this, the buildings in the front yard were completely different.
"Just pick one."
After leading Miss Su to the courtyard of Dongyuan, Zhao Hongrun pointed to the single-family houses not far away and said.
Looking around, I saw six single-family houses in Dongyuan. Each house was about seven or eight feet wide. It was not huge, but it was spacious enough, at least for the combination of the mistress and the personal maid.
In terms of.
"These houses...haven't been named yet?"
Miss Su was surprised to find that in front of these single-family houses, like the plaques in front of the house, there was a piece of wood with carved texture hanging, which was used to name people as expected. This was the custom of the Wei Dynasty. Wei people liked to give names to anyone.
Name your favorite things, so that even a thatched house will be given elegant names such as Mingzhixuan, Yangxingtang, etc. by the hermits living in it.
But among the single-family houses in Beiwu East Garden, there is a large area of empty space with the name of the house engraved on the wooden boards that look like plaques.
Zhao Hongrun was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that Meng Wei, the left minister of the Ministry of Public Affairs, seemed to have mentioned it to him before, but he didn't pay attention and turned around and forgot about it.
He shrugged and answered: "You can give it a unique name, and I will ask the craftsmen to carve it on it."
After hearing this, Miss Su thought carefully for a moment, and then asked with some hesitation: "Run Lang, if the slave family wants to continue using Cui Xiaoxuan..."
Note: Xiao, that is, bamboo, mostly refers to young bamboo.
"Okay." Looking at her expectant expression, Zhao Hongrun smiled nonchalantly.
After all, he also understood that Miss Su had lived in Cuixiaoxuan on a waterside pavilion for so many years. Although she hated her for being trapped in the world in the past, after careful consideration, she also had feelings for that house.
"Really?" Miss Su's face was full of surprise.
"Of course." Zhao Hongrun grinned and said, "I will get some bamboo from the palace later and turn this place into a real Cuixiao Xuan."
His words made Zong Wei Shen Yu, who was following behind, tremble all over.
Miss Su also seemed to have noticed the "horrified" expressions on the faces of Shen Yu, Lu Mu, Wei Jiao and other mature and solemn clan guards. They covered their lips with fragrant sleeves and couldn't help but snickered a few times, then shook her head and said: "Thank you Runlang, but I just want some ordinary green bamboo."
It has to be said that she is a woman who understands the general situation. She is not willing to let Ai Lang "steal bamboo" from the palace for her. Although Ai Lang, in his dignified status as Prince Su, got some bamboo from the imperial garden of his father, Emperor Wei. It's not a problem, but it won't sound good after all, right?
Her words made Shen Yu, Lu Mu, and Wei Jiao breathe a sigh of relief. After all, in their opinion, their Highness had "moved" many golden-scaled fish and precious bamboos from the Imperial Garden. , if you still go, it would be a bit outrageous.
This woman is nice...
The sect guards nodded secretly and evaluated Miss Su in their hearts. After all, not all women can resist the temptation of those precious gifts, especially those like mottled bamboo, which have ancient and poignant love legends spread in the Wei Dynasty. Ornamental objects, these things are more attractive to women than even those precious jewelry.
But Miss Su politely refused those precious bamboos and only asked for some common green bamboos. This means that this girl is not vain, but really likes those green bamboos.
Regarding this, the Zongwei couldn't help but sigh secretly in their hearts: If it weren't for her poor background, this girl Su's character would be enough to become Princess Su.
"Mu Qing, remove this wooden plaque and send it to the Metallurgical Manufacturing Bureau. Ask the craftsmen in the department to engrave the words Cuixiaoxuan on it."
After deciding on the name of this house, Zhao Hongrun turned around and gave instructions to Zong Wei Mu Qing.
For such a small matter, there is no need to bother the carpenters from the Ministry of Works. After all, there are craftsmen who are proficient in carpentry in the smelting bureau.
"Yes, Your Highness!" Mu Qing clasped his fists, and with the help of other clan guards, he removed the wooden plaque on the top of the door. At the same time, Zhao Hongrun led Miss Su into the house. .
After entering the house, Zhao Hongrun looked around a few times and felt very satisfied.
In his opinion, although this house is not big in layout, it is more beautiful because of its complete decorative facilities, which is exactly what the saying goes: Although a sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs.
I saw that the whole house adopts the layout of a loft duplex. The first floor is the living room, and the second floor is the boudoir of the mistress of the house. The decorations and furniture in the house have been painted with new paint by craftsmen from the Ministry of Engineering. So it looks bright.
Lacquer, in this era, was a luxury item that was more expensive than silver. Only the State of Chu could produce it in large quantities.
"Go up and have a look?"
Zhao Hongrun asked.
Even though Miss Su didn't mind her living environment, she was attracted by the exquisiteness of this house.
In fact, the furniture and facilities in the house are not expensive. To put it bluntly, they are just lacquerware that was not valuable in Chu State. However, in the Wei Dynasty, there is a huge market for these lacquerwares. The average person can obtain one or two pieces of lacquerware, which is enough to satisfy their needs. The neighbors were showing off, but it couldn't be compared to this house, which was painted all over with purple paint and looked bright, but also showed elegance.
It's a pity that Zhao Hongrun is not very satisfied with this.
Of course, it was not that he was dissatisfied with the work of the Ministry of Industry, but he was only concerned with the paint of this era. After all, the paint mainly produced in the Chu State was mainly dark, and the color was relatively monotonous, leaving little room for choice.
But looking at Miss Su's expression, she was very satisfied with this place. She even made a rare joke with Zhao Hongrun: "It seems that the slave family should name this house Zixiaoxuan?"
"As long as you are willing." Zhao Hongrun agreed with a smile.
The two talked and laughed for a while, and then Zhao Hongrun said: "Otherwise, I will take my mother over today?"
After hearing this, Miss Su's dignified and delicate appearance disappeared in an instant, and she was seen with a face full of surprise and astonishment. She grasped the hem of her skirt at a loss and stammered in a low voice: "Is this... so fast? Slave... Slave's family is still here.
Not ready yet..."
Looking at her panicked look, Zhao Hongrun was amused in his heart and teased her: "Sooner or later, it's settled."
In fact, it's not that Zhao Hongrun deliberately teased Miss Su, it's just that he knew Miss Su's temperament very well and knew the character of this woman. Let alone a day, even a month, I'm afraid this Miss Su couldn't be fully mentally prepared: because she was too considerate.
Too much will make her timid.
"Then...okay." Seeing Ai Lang's firm attitude, Miss Su bit her lips and glanced at the former with a resentful look.
"Lu'er, remember to help your young lady." Zhao Hongrun said and snickered secretly, because he knew that as soon as he left, Miss Su would dress up in a hurry, striving to give her future mother-in-law the best
first impression.
"Yes." Lu'er responded respectfully.
This girl...
Upon hearing this, Zhao Hongrun frowned and glanced at Lu'er. Of course he could see that Lu'er was in awe of him today and was no longer as lively as before. This was a bit... boring.
Yes, in fact, even though Lu'er had quarreled with him many times, Zhao Hongrun actually liked this energetic but greedy and stingy little girl. After all, her loyalty to Miss Su made Zhao Hongrun have a good impression of her.
"Why are you so obedient today? It's not like you..."
Zhao Hongrun rubbed Lu'er's head mischievously, deliberately teasing her. In the past, I'm afraid this girl would have jumped up and pointed at Zhao Hongrun's nose and yelled, but today, this girl just hung her head and looked at him timidly.
, this made Zhao Hongrun not feel very good. After all, in his view, authority was directed at outsiders. If even close relatives and friends were afraid of it, then that person's life would be too boring.
Give them a process of adaptation...
Zhao Hongrun said secretly, after all, after careful calculation, although Miss Su didn't seem to care about his identity, in fact, she was more restrained than usual.
Thinking of this, Zhao Hongrun shook his head and did not tell the truth. After all, in his opinion, the senseless awe that the master and servant had towards him should gradually disappear over time and return to the previous attitude.
After ordering several clan guards to garrison at Prince Su's Mansion, Zhao Hongrun only brought Shen Yu and Zhongzhao back to the palace.
He was planning to take his mother, Concubine Shen Shu, to Prince Su's Mansion today. After all, Concubine Shen Shu had been urging him on this matter for several days. If the delay continued, Zhao Hongrun was afraid that his mother-in-law would take his brother Zhao Hongxuan to Prince Su's Mansion, or even
He went directly to a waterside pavilion.
But what surprised Zhao Hongrun was that when he arrived at Ningxiang Palace, he found that there was a rare distinguished guest in Ningxiang Palace.
It was none other than the concubine of his respected sixth brother Zhao Hongzhao, the Wugui concubine who lived in Mei Palace.
I saw this concubine Wu Gui chatting with Concubine Shen Shu in the hall.
Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun quickly stepped forward and paid homage to Concubine Shen Shu: "My son, please pay homage to your mother and concubine." Immediately, he also paid homage to Concubine Wu: "Hongrun pays homage to Concubine Wu."
To be honest, Zhao Hongrun had no contact with Wu Guifei, but she was the mother-in-law of his respected sixth brother Zhao Hongzhao. Therefore, Zhao Hongrun gave Wu Guifei the greatest respect. (To be continued.
