After all, it exists as a book club, so the layout inside is very different from that of an ordinary garden.
The corridor on the left is still there, but the corridor on the right has been demolished, and there is an extra wall on both sides.
On the right, you can clearly see that there are more than ten newly built houses.
The houses are not big, only the size of an ear room.
Seeing Li Xiuzhu looking to the right, Zhao Yuwan explained, "Those side rooms are used for the servants to rest."
"So we demolished the original corridor and vestibule on the right, and also demolished the arch on the right and rebuilt the courtyard wall."
"These side rooms are not big, but they are practical."
“We have retained the corridor on the left.”
Li Xiuzhu nodded and followed the three women forward.
There are many flower bushes on both sides of the corridor. As the weather is getting warmer, there is already a lot of greenery.
Li Xiuzhu didn't pay much attention to flowers, and the buds of the flowers hadn't bloomed yet, so naturally he didn't know what flowers these things were.
Chu Xiaoran had been keeping her eyes on Li Xiuzhu, so when Li Xiuzhu looked at the flowers, Chu Xiaoran naturally noticed his gaze and said, "Most of these are camellias."
"Camellia? Camellia should grow mostly in the south, and the temperature it needs should be higher. Will camellia bloom well if I plant it here?"
"Especially in recent years, the weather has been getting colder."
Chu Xiaoran was startled, and asked with feeling: "Your Majesty, do you think the weather will get colder in the next few years?"
"I heard from my father that this year's spring planting has just been completed."
"One or two years is fine, but if it's like this every year, how will the people survive?"
It is already April, but spring planting has just begun. Everyone knows what this means.
Li Xiuzhu smiled upon hearing this: "The ministers and I have already made a decision on this matter, there won't be any trouble."
"And you guys, you don't need to worry too much about national affairs, we tall people are here to take care of it."
"Even if you worry about the country and the people, who will care?"
"Officials will not ask for your opinions, and the people will not listen to your opinions."
"A day is a day, whether it is happy or not. Just be yourself and make yourself happy."
Chu Xiaoran's face turned red when she heard Li Xiuzhu's words.
Although she was educated, she knew that what Li Xiuzhu said made sense, and her eyes sparkled brightly.
Not only her, but the other two women as well.
Most women have a strong admiration for men and like those who are stronger than themselves.
The central courtyard has also been changed, and it can be seen that the central courtyard is the main activity place of the book club.
The pavilions are connected by covered bridges. There are eight pavilions in one courtyard. One is in the front of the courtyard, and the other seven are like the Big Dipper guarding the pavilion in the front.
"You have really figured out the game of the Seven North Pole Imperial Guards. It's very elegant and well-organized."
Li Xiuzhu's words made the three girls smile, and they all felt a little proud.
Even the flowers from before still make them a little concerned.
"Your Highness, if it's not a good time to plant camellias these days, then what kind of flowers do you think we should plant?"
Li Xiuzhu shook his head and said, "I don't know many cold-resistant flowers. Apart from wintersweet, I only know honeysuckle, peony and hibiscus."
"Among them, peony and honeysuckle are more cold-resistant. Peony blooms in April and May, while honeysuckle can bloom in spring or summer, depending on the planting time."
"Hibiscus flowers bloom in autumn. If you change the season, you can still see flowers all year round, even though the weather is a little cold now."
This is what Yunshuang means by being pretentious and invisible, right?
"But it's better to choose a low potted wintersweet. If it's taller, it will affect your vision and it will affect the feng shui."
The three of them were startled and asked, "Does the prince know Feng Shui?"
We already have Taoism, Yin and Yang, and fate, so is it strange to have Feng Shui?
Li Xiuzhu really didn't understand this time, he had never studied Feng Shui.
Li Xiuzhu shook his head and said, "I have a concubine who is a Taoist. She understands it, but I haven't studied it yet."
Hehe, I finally know something that the prince doesn’t know.
But unfortunately, they don’t know this topic either, so I can’t pretend to know anything about it.
Fortunately, Li Xiuzhu didn't know what the three people were thinking, otherwise, how could they be led astray? At this time, there was only one pavilion in the yard with people, but there were not just one or two people, but several girls dressed in various colors of silk.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
They hadn't noticed the three people yet, who were now gathered around the stone table in the pavilion, watching intently.
Li Xiuzhu looked over and knew that the girls were playing chess even though he hadn't seen what they were looking at.
The sound of the pieces falling on the stone table was particularly obvious. At this moment, a young girl said dignifiedly and confidently: "Sister Lin, you lose."
"Ah, Sister Xue, how come you won again? I only get ten taels of silver a month, and you won six taels this month."
It's no wonder that she was angry. Ten taels of silver a month, two taels of silver just for the management, not to mention the occasional tips.
Now that the six taels of silver are gone, she is afraid that she will have to live frugally this month.
Because she was facing the direction of Li Xiuzhu and the others, the sisters stood up and immediately saw Li Xiuzhu and were stunned for a moment.
Noticing something strange about Lin Daiyu, Xue Baochai turned around subconsciously and her eyes suddenly lit up.
Xue Baochai stood up and said, "I am Xue Baochai, a commoner, meeting the Prince Regent."
Li Xiuzhu was slightly stunned.
"Have you seen me?"
Xue Baochai shook her head and said, "Although I have never seen you, I have admired you for a long time."
Li Xiuzhu asked with interest: "I have never seen him, how do you know that I am the regent?"
Xue Baochai smiled when she heard this.
"Because the sisters have a rule that no man can be brought in without everyone's consent, and the prince is the only man we have agreed to join, so is this difficult to guess?"
Li Xiuzhu suddenly realized what was going on and smiled.
"Even so, Miss Xue is very quick-witted."
As they were talking, several people had come closer. Looking at the black and white pieces on the table, Li Xiuzhu continued with a smile: "Are you guys playing chess? From the sound just now, it seems that Miss Xue won?"
Xue Baochai immediately smiled and said, "We are just playing for fun. We are playing Gobang that the prince taught us."
"Is Your Majesty interested? If so, Baochai is willing to play a game of hand with Your Majesty."
At this time, Lin Daiyu behind Xue Baochai also said, "Great, someone will take care of you today, little brat. Let's see if you can bully me again."
"Your Majesty, please help me. I have been beaten by this little bastard this month."
"If I can't win a couple of rounds, I'm afraid I'll be out of luck from today until the beginning of next month."
