Chapter 379 It’s not his turn
But the subsequent wedding customs are all going on, and now it’s time to give the betrothal gift, Feng Yuanhao wants to give it as soon as possible.
In folk marriages, once the betrothal gifts are given, there is no room for regret.
Feng Yuanhao felt that he could feel more at ease.
Otherwise, what would you do if someone else took a fancy to such good mugwort?
Although his cooking skills are pretty good now, and Ai Cao was full of praise for the food on the table last night, Feng Yuanhao is a little afraid that someone else will make better food and take Ai Cao away...
Although the probability of such a thing happening is extremely low.
But there are always surprises...
His goal is to avoid any accidents! Glancing at Ai Cao, whose face was also as red as an apple, Su Yujin pursed her lips and smiled, "Okay, I'll make the decision on this matter. I'll agree to it first."
Seeing Su Yujin's straightforward response, Feng Yuanhao rubbed his hands excitedly, "Then I'll ask my parents and my brother and sister-in-law to help me prepare."
The gift for Ai Cao must be generous and grand! "Okay." Su Yujin nodded with a smile.
After talking for a while, Feng Yuanhao said goodbye and left at dinner time.
Mother Liu and Ai Cao set the table for dinner.
Because they had stewed mutton for lunch, in the evening Mother Liu used the stewed mutton soup to add some thin noodles, and paired it with spicy shredded radish, cold cabbage hearts, ginger lotus root slices and other dishes.
After a busy afternoon, Su Yujin was now hungry, so she picked up her chopsticks and ate heartily.
The noodle soup was rich and chewy, the noodles were chewy, and the cold dishes were refreshing and went well with rice. Especially when sitting face to face with Su Yujin, He Yanxiu also ate with great relish.
After putting down the bowl and chopsticks, Shuang Ye and Yu Yongye came to the door, and the room was filled with laughter again.
He Yanxiu, "..."
Now that he has arrived in Qinghe, it seems that it is not his turn yet.
I'm afraid this won't work, we have to think of a solution.
That night, the candle in He Yanxiu's room burned for half the night, and on the next morning, just after dinner, He Yanxiu suggested going out for a walk, listening to a play or something.
Although both of these activities require going out and cannot be considered as quiet time alone for the two of them, at least they are together.
Still much stronger! "Then let's go to the opera." Su Yujin said, "I just heard Shuangye and Yu Juren mention last night that the theater in the county town has a new play, and it's the Palace of Eternal Life."
Su Yujin had been very interested in some classical operas and culture in his previous life. Now that he could listen to the authentic ancient operas, he was eager to try it out.
"Okay." He Yanxiu responded with a smile.
The two of them went out together in a carriage.
When he walked out of the alley but before reaching the theater, he was stopped by Ye Yongwang.
"Hey, Lord, I wish you all the best." Ye Yongwang bowed and explained his purpose. "A few days ago, Lord Ren from the Ministry of Rites came to check on the construction of the Lord's mansion. I went to check it out as well. The mansion has been basically completed, and only the various rockery and trees in the garden are left."
"Lord Ren and this humble official mean that since this is the residence of Lord Ping'an, the layout of the garden should be shown to Lord Ping'an so that it can be designed according to his preferences."
"I have already asked someone to draw the design of the garden, and I have even drawn several for you to choose from. Are you free now to go with me to take a look and choose one or two?"
The mansion is almost finished.
Su Yujin's eyes suddenly lit up.
The house she lives in now is not bad, but now there are more and more things and more and more people coming and going, especially when He Yanxiu comes to Qinghe, it is somewhat crowded.
Especially the area in the yard used for growing vegetables seems increasingly small.
Therefore, Su Yujin was still very much looking forward to this imperially bestowed mansion. Especially now that Ye Yongwang mentioned the garden in the mansion, she became even more interested, "Great."
He Yanxiu, "..."
Didn't we agree to go to the opera? Why is it that every time I want to be with Su Yujin, someone always stops me? He Yanxiu's eyes were almost spitting fire, and the look he gave Ye Yongwang was as sharp as a knife.
Ye Yongwang shuddered for no apparent reason and subconsciously touched his nose to prevent himself from sneezing.
Although it was the coldest time of the year, he had been wearing quite thick clothes when he went out today. Why did he suddenly feel so cold? And the coldness started from the soles of his feet and continued to come in waves on his back...
But now that Lord Ping'an has agreed to this matter, let's go see the garden first.
Ye Yongwang bowed respectfully, "Lord Ping'an, Lord He, please come this way."
After saying that, Ye Yongwang couldn't help but sneezed loudly.
Why do I feel colder? ...
Since Su Yujin wanted to see the garden first, He Yanxiu followed her.
The residence of Lord Ping'an is located inside the county town, on the east side, which has the best terrain. It covers a large area, has a high gate, white walls, green tiles, red doors and painted buildings, and is very imposing.
Going further in, you will see pavilions, towers, carved beams and painted buildings, which are magnificent.
After passing through a circle of corridors, you will reach the back garden.
The garden has now taken shape, with a pool in the center and cobblestone paths along the edges and bluestone brick roads. The overall look is both generous and exquisite.
Ye Yongwang introduced as he walked, "This pond can be used to plant some lotuses and raise some koi. It will be the best time to enjoy the lotuses and fish in the summer."
Su Yujin nodded, "It's good to grow some lotus flowers. Lotus flowers and lotus roots can both be used as dishes. Lotus leaves can be used as a side dish and for making porridge. But there's no need to raise koi. Just raise some crucian carp and grass carp. In your spare time, go fishing to relax. If you can catch something, you can also make a dish to eat. It's perfect."
"I think the open space over here is good. There's no need to put rocks there. I'll ask someone to clear it and plant some sweet potatoes and potatoes. We can also plant some cilantro or something like that."
"This large piece of land is also good. Plant different vegetables according to the four levels. In addition, where flowers and trees should be planted, try to plant some apples, pears, apricots and other trees. The flowers will bloom beautifully in spring and there will be fruits to eat in autumn. The various flowers and plants are just for decoration."
Ye Yongwang, "..."
Lady Ping'an is indeed Lady Ping'an, unique and different from others.
But then again, even though she was already a county lady, Miss Su was still able to stick to her heart, not forgetting her own joy, and not caring about those worldly faces...
I'm afraid many men can't be so open-minded.
Ye Yongwang was filled with emotion and wrote down everything Su Yujin had just told him.
The three of them wandered around the mansion for half a day, and in the blink of an eye it was noon.
"I don't know if Lord Ping'an and Lord He..."
"Ping'an County Lord and I have things to do." He Yanxiu interrupted Ye Yongwang, "Master Ye, please do as you please."
Ye Yongwang, "..."
Did he say anything? He just wanted to know if you two were leaving now.
But judging from the looks of it, it seems like he's going to leave.
Then he quickly planned and carried out everything according to the instructions given by Ping'an County Lord.
He Yanxiu: Let me see who didn’t vote for the monthly ticket?
