Chapter 105 The relationship between the two brothers progressed rapidly
Brothers Zhao Houjing and Zhao Houming walked out of Zhao Lingmeng's main hall and arrived at their respective doors. Zhao Houming did not return to his own room as usual, but followed Zhao Houjing into Zhao Houjing's room.
Zhao Houjing looked at his brother who followed him in and asked curiously, "Why are you following me? Your room is not here."
"I'll sleep with you at noon today! That person left, and I was worried that you would secretly cry under the quilt at noon."
Zhao Houming didn't think there was anything wrong with what he said. Everyone thought he was young, but he knew that his brother had a very good relationship with his father.
His father used to love his older brother very much. So he thought his father didn't want him, and his brother would be very sad, but he was happy, feeling that he had gained a brother in vain. But he also knew he couldn't say it out loud, because he felt that he was a truly wonderful younger brother.
"Come on! I cried the past two days, why didn't you come to see me?" Zhao Houjing didn't feel embarrassed at all. After all, his younger brother had laughed at him many times, so this one wouldn't make a difference.
"You chose dad first, so I forgive you. Humph." Zhao Houming had an expression that said, "Don't be ungrateful." He was very arrogant.
When Zhao Houjing heard his second brother say this, he was stunned for a moment, feeling a little guilty, so he could only compromise and said, "Okay, you sleep with me at noon today."
Zhao Houming was also sleepy at this time. When he heard his brother's approval, he immediately asked Dong Shui to clean him up, and then he got on Zhao Houjing's big bed. He couldn't wait to pat the place next to him and said, "Brother, come quickly."
Zhao Houjing could only let Dongmian beside him help him wash up. He also went to bed and lay down next to Zhao Houming. After the waiter left, Zhao Houjing began to mutter: "Go to sleep. When you wake up, we will go to find Master Wu to learn how to read. In the future, we will study hard and make Dad regret it."
Zhao Houjing muttered to himself for a long time. He didn't hear Zhao Houming reply for a long time. He turned his head and saw that his brother had fallen asleep. At this moment, he felt angry and amused. He was angry that he had said so much in vain, but he also thought that his sleeping brother looked like the roast suckling pig made by his mother, with a red face and very cute.
He stared at the sleeping Zhao Houming for a long time before he too fell asleep, unable to resist the sleepiness. He was completely different from the days before, crying alone under the covers. Perhaps at this moment, in Zhao Houjing's heart, Sun Tu was no longer so important. He had someone who he felt was more important by his side.
Zhao Lingmeng watched the two children leave, and did not rush to the study to draw the blueprints of the ancestral hall. Instead, she called Nanny Sun over and instructed her, "From now on, don't let Dongmian and Dongshui know about what happens in my courtyard, nor do you need to let the other people who serve the young masters know."
"Yes!" Nanny Sun replied with a smile, feeling that the princess was truly discerning. She had sensed the problem from the few words the eldest young master had uttered. Even if it was a biological child, one had to be sensible and not know everything about the sons in the mother's courtyard.
After Zhao Lingmeng finished giving the order, she slowly returned to her room, carried the still sleeping Zhao Houyang, and went to the study. It wasn't that Zhao Lingmeng wanted to disturb Zhao Houyang while he was sleeping, but the little guy would start howling whenever he woke up and didn't see Zhao Lingmeng.
Zhao Lingmeng was too lazy to run back and forth, so she simply carried the little guy to sleep on the soft couch in the study. That way, when he woke up, she could just call someone in to clean up.
In this way, Zhao Lingmeng almost lived in the study for the next few days. When she finally finished drawing the blueprint of the ancestral hall, she immediately wrote a letter to Wu An Hou, explaining the contents of the blueprint.
She emphasized that Marquis Wu'an should find different people to be responsible for different parts, so that the craftsmen would not easily see any tricks and would only think that the master had too much work to do. However, as long as the money was enough, it would not be a problem.
Zhao Lingmeng finished writing the letter to Marquis Wu'an and placed it and the blueprints in a box. She then took out 20,000 taels of silver from the bottom drawer and placed them in the box. She had originally intended to take it from the secret compartment, but a glance at the third brother, who was asleep nearby, made her instinctively decide against opening the secret compartment, so she had no choice but to take it from the open.
After preparing these, she slowly pulled out another invitation from the side. It invited her mother and two sisters-in-law to stay at a hot spring resort outside the city the day after tomorrow. After she finished writing, she thought again and decided to add Zhao Lingyun's name. After all, to outsiders, she was now the legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Wu'an and Zhao Lingmeng's biological sister.
Zhao Lingmeng didn't want to have too much contact with the heroine in this book. They just kept to themselves and were friendly. But this kind of thing couldn't be avoided without her invitation, as that would just make her an enemy. Although she wasn't afraid of the heroine, she didn't want to make an enemy out of nothing.
Zhao Lingmeng placed the invitations directly outside the box, completely separating them. She checked to make sure there were no holes before calling Dong Yuan in. "Take these to the Marquis' Mansion and hand them over to Marquis Wu'an personally."
Dong Yuan quickly bowed and saluted, then took his things and left. Zhao Lingmeng stood up with incredible ease, stretched his arms and legs, and stretched out a bit. Then he went to the soft couch next to him, picked up the third child who was sleeping like a pig, and walked out.
As soon as Zhao Lingmeng left the study, she instructed Chunqing, "Tell Madam Sun to arrange for someone to pack up, pack up as much as possible. The day after tomorrow we're going to the hot spring resort outside the city and stay there for a while before coming back. We're tentatively planning to return before the Mid-Autumn Festival in three months.
Then notify Master Wu and his grandson in the front yard and have them pack their things and come with us. When the time comes, Marquis Wu'an will send someone to repair the ancestral hall. You and Chunguang will decide who will stay in the mansion to watch over it. Let me know when you've made your decision, and I'll give you instructions on some matters at the mansion, and you can take care of them as well."
Chunqing watched Chunguang packing up in the study, and then went to find Nanny Sun to convey the princess's arrangements with peace of mind.
Zhao Lingmeng watched Chunqing leave, feeling incredibly happy. She could finally live outside the city for a while. She had been living in this mansion for several months and had seen so much of the scenery. She poked the face of the third child, Zhao Houyang, in her arms, and whispered, "Little guy, we're going out to play. Are you happy?"
Zhao Lingmeng looked at the unresponsive Zhao Houyang, not expecting a response, and poked his face again. It wasn't until the little guy snorted, as if waking up, that Zhao Lingmeng guiltily removed her hand, looking elsewhere, and carried Zhao Houyang to the outer courtyard, acting as if nothing had happened.
