Chapter 256 Having Your Own Yard
Wen Li'er followed her mother through three moon-shaped doors before stopping in front of an archway with hanging flowers.
A brand new black lacquer plaque hangs above the door lintel, with the three large characters "Qiwuyuan" outlined in gold powder.
"This plaque was written by your brother himself."
Wen Li'er's eyes lit up when she saw it: "I know your brother's handwriting, it's really good."
The layout of the courtyard, designed by Liang Yuhe, is warm everywhere.
Before Wen Li'er entered the palace, she didn't have her own yard and only had one room.
Now she suddenly has a yard of her own. Although she can only live there for three days, she is still very happy.
Liang Yuhe held her daughter's hand and walked around the yard and looked around the room.
"Li'er, is there anything else you want to buy?"
Wen Li'er shook her head: "Mother, everything is complete. I don't have anything else I want to buy. And I brought back a lot of things from the palace this time, so they are enough for us."
"That's good."
At this time, Nanny Qin was directing Qingmei, Qingzhu and other palace maids to place some items brought back by the master in their corresponding positions.
Liang Yuhe originally wanted to help, but Nanny Qin didn't dare let her do it and refused repeatedly.
Liang Yuhe had no choice but to take her daughter to sit on the chaise longue in front of the window.
The winter wind blows through the wind chimes under the corridor, making crisp sounds.
She looked at her daughter's beautiful face, then glanced at the palace servants who were busy in the yard and rooms, her eyes full of relief and love.
"Li'er, the emperor treats you well with all his heart."
Wen Li'er nodded: "The Emperor is indeed very good to his daughter."
Liang Yuhe patted the back of her hand and said with a smile, "Then I can rest assured."
When she said this, her tone became more serious.
"But you must remember that within the deep palace, receiving such great love from the emperor is a great blessing. Our Wen family's current glory is entirely due to the emperor's grace."
Wen Li'er nodded obediently: "Mother, I understand."
Liang Yuhe lowered her voice and said, "It's not enough to just understand. You must always remember that the emperor's grace is as vast as the sea, but his heart is unpredictable. The emperor favors you now because you are kind and sincere, but if you become arrogant and forget your duty in the future..."
She paused, and gently brushed her daughter's black hair with her fingertips.
"Mother doesn't mean to scare you. I just hope you'll always remember the word 'gratitude'. Your grandmother always said, 'A drop of kindness should be repaid with a spring of water.' We come from a humble family, so we should do the same."
Wen Li'er nodded seriously: "My daughter will remember my mother's teachings."
"Good boy, just remember this. Your maternal grandfather and his family are coming to Beijing for the first time, and I'm busy preparing for your brother's wedding these days, so I'm afraid I'll neglect them. Please take care of them for me."
Wen Li'er quickly responded, "Of course, mother, don't worry, I'll take care of it. After my grandparents have rested, I'll take them around the capital to see the prosperous scene. There's a whole street selling rouge and powder in the East Market, and there are also new and interesting things brought by the foreign merchants! My cousins will definitely like it."
"Li'er is thoughtful."
…
Liang Yuhe chatted with her daughter for a while, then asked Wen Li'er to rest in the room for a while, and she hurried off to do her own thing.
Wen Li'er didn't sleep well last night and got up early today, so she was indeed a little tired.
I lay down on the bed at this moment, and immediately felt sleepy, and fell into a deep sleep in a short while.
When I woke up again, it was already bright outside and it looked like it was time for lunch.
Wen Li'er was startled, thinking that she had just told her mother in the morning that she wanted to take her cousins to visit the capital.
How come she slept for so long?
Wen Li'er hurriedly shouted outside: "Green plum and green bamboo..."
Qingmei and Qingzhu heard the noise in the room and hurried in to help their master wash and change clothes.
Wen Li'er asked anxiously, "Are grandma and the others awake?"
Qingzhu nodded. "They're all awake. The old lady and the three maternal uncles are helping Madam check the menu for the wedding. The master has gone out with some of the uncles to do some shopping. The young master has also returned and is in the study with some of the cousins."
Wen Li'er asked again: "Where are those cousins?"
Qingzhu replied, "I'm helping to cut window decorations and Shuangxi."
Wen Li'er asked guiltily, "When did they all get up?"
Qingmei told the truth: "I got up at noon."
Wen Li'er was so ashamed that she didn't even bother to put on makeup. She picked up her skirt and hurried to the front yard.
Several people who were cutting paper-cuts in the main room heard the noise and looked over.
Liang Qingning glanced at the sky outside, then looked at her and asked with concern: "Cousin, are you feeling unwell?"
Liang Qingyou's eyes were also full of worry when he looked over.
In Luohe Town, no matter whether you are a daughter-in-law or a girl, you are not allowed to sleep in.
Unless you are unwell, you will be allowed to sleep until noon.
Otherwise, people will point at you and call you lazy, and if that gets out, it will damage your reputation.
So, when my cousin slept until this time, they thought she was not feeling well.
Several of the cousins-in-law were experienced people. When they saw Wen Li'er waking up from a nap and looking radiant even without makeup, they immediately understood why.
Ji, He, and Tang all looked at her meaningfully.
Wen Li'er blushed and explained hastily, "I just... felt a little dizzy, but I felt much better after a good night's sleep."
Hearing this, Liang Qingning and Liang Qingyou felt relieved.
