The princess's mansion for the two of them has been basically built, but some details have not yet been worked out.

For example, when Chang Yu wanted to make a garden into a garden, the Ministry of Works very willfully cleared a space for her. At this time, there were some stones piled on it and she had not had time to build it.

This was the first time Chang Yu saw these stones, and he was a little stunned for a moment. After he realized what he was doing, he couldn't help but said in disgust: "It's so ugly."

Man Bao also thought it didn't look good, but she said: "People need clothes, and stones also need to be decorated. After they are built up, it will look better if you plant some flowers and plants in the gaps. If you don't believe me, ask Ming Da."

Mingda nodded uncertainly, "Mountains with trees and flowers are naturally more beautiful than bare mountains."

Chang Yu looked at them suspiciously, "Can flowers and plants grow from this kind of stone?"

This Man Bao can nod with certainty. Good flowers and plants cannot grow, but some tenacious weeds and wild flowers are still fine. Let’s not talk about distant houses, let’s talk about some houses that are not often taken care of. The bluestone slabs and stone walls are not good.

Can all flowers and plants grow?

Man Bao patted his chest and said, "If it doesn't grow by then, come to me and I'll give you a bunch of seeds."

She can go to the wild to collect a handful of weed seeds, and even if it doesn't work, she can buy grass seeds that meet the conditions in the mall.

I heard that there is a kind of seed in the mall that can grow without water or soil. It has extremely strong vitality and can be placed in a basket to grow out of thin air. Just give it a few drops of water occasionally.

Moreover, genes are rare and stable and will not change into another shape as they grow. The grass shape also grows well. At worst, she buys a pack and spreads them all on this rockery. I don't believe it won't grow.

Changyu wanted to ask people to throw all the stones away, but Zhou Man and Mingda kept saying that they would look better after dressing up, so she reluctantly stayed.

Mingda smiled and said: "If you really like Taihu stones, you can ask Brother Wei to put them near Taihu Lake. Then you can build a garden there."

Taihu stone itself is not very expensive, at least not yet. The most expensive thing is the shipping fee.

Transporting such large stones from Taihu Lake to the capital cannot be bumpy and requires a lot of manpower and animal power.

Changyu immediately said: "I'm not going to Taihu Lake."

She likes Taihu stones, but not Taihu.

She said: "It is better to live in the capital. I have thought about it. As long as my father does not drive me away and my brother the prince will not drive me away in the future, I will live in the capital for the rest of my life."

Mingda was just the opposite. What she thought was that as long as her father didn't cry to keep her and the prince brother didn't force her to keep her, she could just walk around and return to Beijing once or twice a year.

Man Bao felt that it would be better if their sisters' personalities could be harmonized.

Considering that they were about to get married, Man Bao asked them, "What do you want to add to your makeup?"

Chang Yu: "You are so insincere. We didn't ask for your opinion when we gave you makeup. We just gave you your favorite one."

Man Bao looked at her and said, "That's because you have too many good things. If the gift you give is the same as others, it will not be beautiful to you."

Mingda thought for a while and said: "I like strange things, no matter what they are. They are not found in the Central Plains. I like even a flower."

Upon hearing this, Chang Yu immediately said: "Yes, you are good at growing flowers and plants. Every year you bring out many beautiful and cherished peonies and chrysanthemums. When we got married, it was the time when peonies were in full bloom. Why don't you give us some that we don't have?"

peony?"

Man Bao was confused. She could give it away, but she didn't know what it would look like the next year.

Man Bao said: "Forget it, I won't ask you anymore, I want to make my own decision."

Mingda and Changyu couldn't help but laugh, "It was you who asked, and now it's you who regret it."

As it was a rare occasion to come out, the two of them were not in a hurry to return to the palace, and dragged Manbao to stroll around the two princesses' mansions.

The princess's mansion was very big, even bigger than Manbao's house. After walking around for a while, the three of them didn't want to leave, so they sat on the railings and swung their legs to talk.

The palace servants were scattered around, neither disturbing them nor staying far away.

"It's a pity that you don't have an empty house in Chongyuanfang. Otherwise, if our princess mansion was placed over there, our three families would be closer."

Man Bao said: "It's not very far now. It takes less than two quarters of an hour by car, and it's faster on horseback. It smells good in the distance and smells in the near. You live close to me, so you may not like me anymore."

Chang Yu thought for a moment and said, "That's not possible. There's nothing I dislike about you. Well, except for one thing, you always like to praise yourself."

"How can I not," Man Bao said, "My husband gave me the name Ziqian, Ziqian, I am humble now."

Mingda couldn't help but laugh out loud, "These words are not modest at first sight."

The three of them stayed in the princess's mansion until the sun was about to set. The palace officials urged them twice before leaving.

Mingda and Changyu's eyes were bright. After getting on the carriage, they even looked back at their mansion. Soon they could go to the inner city if they wanted to, and go to the outer city if they wanted to.

After walking around the city, just thinking about it makes me excited.

The two of them said goodbye to Man Bao and separated at the intersection ahead, each going back to his own home.

Man Bao rode his horse home. Bai Shan was already waiting at home. He reached out and took her medicine box and said, "Would you like some Western cakes or Wuyue Jiulan to follow you?"

Man Bao shook his head and refused, "I can do it alone, but sending someone to follow me would be a bit cumbersome."

The period before and after the New Year is people's favorite auspicious date for weddings, because during this period the winter wheat has been planted, and before the busy farming season in spring, everyone is basically resting in the past few months.

I can't help but find something to do. At this time, it is normal to find a wife for my son and a son-in-law for my daughter.

Especially during the period before the New Year, travelers also have to go home to prepare for reunions on New Year's Eve, so more people talk about marriage.

Zhou Liwei's marriage was put on the agenda. After the Zhou family calculated the date, they invited someone to go to the Lan family to choose a date.

Even Zhou Dalang and Xiao Qian were busy running for Zhou Lixue's marriage and began to go out frequently. Sometimes they would squat at the door of a restaurant and look at the people passing by, thinking about which one would be suitable for Zhou Lixue.

Zhou Lang, who wasn't too concerned at first, started to stare at Zhou Ligu and began to think deeply.

Lao Zhoutou and Qian, who had packed their things and were going home to see Zhou Xi, simply decided to stay and wait until after the New Year to finalize all the marriage arrangements before going back.

So Man Bao would see his elder sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, and third sister-in-law gathering together to talk about the marriage of several children every day when he returned from the office. Zhou Li learned to hide as much as he could. If he couldn't hide, he would go to the main courtyard to find his sister-in-law to share the pressure.

Man Bao was so scared that he didn't want to go home, so he went to the office, put away his things when he got home, changed his clothes, and dragged Bai Shan out, calling it a visit to the people.
