Chapter 1594 Happy
There were so many people that after everyone had taken their families and guests away, Manbao took her mother and sister-in-law to the main courtyard to see her room.
Old Zhou naturally followed, and all of Old Zhou's family members followed suit. Bai Shan also followed behind in a daze.
Zheng wanted to hold him back, but Liu held her hand and said with a smile, "No hurry, let's go see the second young lady of the Cheng family first. Let him go with them."
Zheng felt that she couldn't keep her son anymore since he had grown up.
Manbao's main courtyard is even bigger than the blue brick and tile house of Lao Zhou's family in the village. There are two big trees in the yard, and tables and chairs are placed under the trees. Even when it is so hot, it is still cool under the shade of the trees.
Old Zhou asked, "You three little girls are the only ones living in such a big yard?"
Manbao nodded and pointed to the main courtyard and said proudly, "Dad, that's my room. Look, it's very spacious. I split half of it into a small study, and there's a couch by the window for drinking tea."
After saying that, he pulled his parents in to take a look.
A few people pushed the door open and went in. They saw that there was a living room inside with a table and chairs in the middle. But the table and chairs were of good colors. In addition, there were bottles on the shelf in the corner of the room, with paintings in the bottles, making the room look very bright.
On the left was a huge shelf with many things placed on it. Old Zhou saw gold, silver, jade, and various porcelains. He was stunned at first glance.
Manbao said, "This is a treasure rack. The things on it were all given to me by the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess."
Old Zhou reached out and took a golden Maitreya Buddha statue, touched it again and again, and asked, "Why are the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess so kind to you?"
Qian was so shocked that she couldn't speak for a long time. She reached out and touched the things on the shelf.
Manbao said, "Dad, that gold is not expensive, this is expensive."
She brought a stool over and stepped on it, then took down the second-to-last white jade Guanyin statue to show her father, "Although I don't know why the prince gave me the Guanyin statue, this one is more valuable. It's worth ten gold pieces in your hand."
Old Zhou immediately said, "Then you better be careful. This jade is not easy to break. Why did you put it so high?"
"It looks good like this, and the shelf is stable, it won't fall." Manbao stepped on the stool again and put it up under Old Zhou's frightened gaze.
After looking at the outer room, Manbao also let them take a look at the inner room.
The inner room has a single window and is very bright. The curtains inside are light yellow. There are also two separate shelves with bottles on them. One of them is a big-bellied vase, which looks beautiful even without flowers in it.
Moreover, this house is taller and wider than theirs, and it is very bright inside.
Qian was very satisfied and asked Manbao, "Who arranged this for you?"
Manbao tilted his head and thought for a moment before saying, "It was arranged by Aunt Zheng."
Qian reached out and touched her head, then smiled happily, "Let's go see the small study you mentioned."
The small study was separated by bookshelves and a screen. Turning inside, there was a couch by the window, and a desk and chair not far away. It was also very bright and spacious. Qian was very satisfied. She looked at Manbao and smiled, "Our Manbao has grown up and can take charge of the family."
Manbao lowered his head embarrassedly and smiled shyly.
After walking around, Old Zhou said, "It's such a waste to have only you three, aunt and nephew, living in such a big yard. Your mother and I won't go to that yard anymore. We'll live here too."
Manbao said, "Dad, do you want to live in my main room?"
Old Zhou shook his head. "I'm not used to living in your room. It's a study, and there are all these shelves. What if something gets knocked over? I think the rooms in the west wing are good. Your mother and I can choose one and live there."
"That won't work," Manbao said. "It's very hot. In the afternoon, the west wing is like a steamer. Haven't you seen the east wing where Lijun and the others live?"
Zhou Lijun and Zhou Liru nodded repeatedly.
Manbao took her father to see the room prepared for them. "Your yard is right next to the main yard. I specially decorated the room. Dad, take a look first to see if you like it. If you don't like it, we can move to another place."
Anyway, there are still many empty rooms at home, so there is no need to worry about having no place to live.
Several people followed her into the courtyard. It was indeed not far from the main courtyard. They arrived after leaving the main courtyard and turning through a moon gate. There were many flowers and plants planted on the road. There was also running water flowing in the courtyard, and there was a rockery with gurgling water.
The water was not very deep and was only as wide as a stride. There was moss and water plants in the water, and there were stone slabs on it as a path. After circling most of the way in the yard, it went out from a corner of the east wing.
Old Zhou followed the current curiously, walked around the corner of the house and asked, "Where did the water go?"
Manbao immediately raised his hand and said, "I know. It went under the stone and into the garden."
Zhou Lixue couldn't help but laugh, "Grandpa, how come you're just like my aunt? When my aunt first saw water in the yard, she also followed it for a long time, determined to figure out where it came from and where it went. Later, she only found out after asking the person who was guarding the house."
Xiao Qian could feel that this courtyard was even colder than the main courtyard. Perhaps it was because of the water?
She liked it immediately, so she pulled her mother-in-law's sleeve. Qian also liked this yard. The north was too sunny, too hot, and dry, not at all like Luojiang County. But this yard looked more comfortable, so she said to Old Zhou: "Let's live here. It's not far from Manbao."
Old Zhou also liked it in his heart, so he didn't say anything.
Manbao pulled her father into the house to see the decoration. This was decorated by her own hands. Every detail was arranged according to her parents' wishes. The most important thing was the word "open and bright".
Old Zhou liked it and finally nodded, "Okay, let's live here."
Zhou Dalang and Xiao Qian also liked this room very much, so Zhou Lijun took his aunt to see their room.
In the same courtyard, I lived in the east wing, which was cooler, and chose the room with the best light.
Old Zhou was satisfied and decided on a place to live. Then everyone went to the front yard to move all of Old Zhou's things over.
What they brought the most was food, all kinds of food made by Xiao Qian.
Manbao smelled the aroma of the jar vegetables and couldn't help squatting in front of the jar and swallowing his saliva. Fang and others also felt hungry.
Old Zhou looked distressed and asked after looking around, "Where's Lao Liu? Why doesn't he come back to cook?"
Fang came back to her senses and immediately said, "Dad, my uncle is the chef at the restaurant. My fifth brother and his wife usually cook together at home."
Speaking of this, Fang remembered and quickly said to Lu: "We haven't told Uncle Wu and his father-in-law yet."
Lu reacted and immediately said, "I'll go call them back."
Qian knew they had just received the letter, and that they were on their way, so no one knew when they would arrive in the capital. Naturally, she couldn't just sit there and wait for them to arrive, so she said, "It's not a big deal. It's almost lunchtime, and that's when restaurants are busy. It's just as easy to call them later."
