Chapter 407: to be remodeled
Of course Zhao Liya will find it hard for them!
While making others unhappy, you can also satisfy yourself, why not do it?
Guogong Mansion is worthy of a long-established family, and the back garden is also huge, with pavilions, pavilions, rockery corridors, flower barriers and rattan trellises, and curved water cups.
Among them, the most conspicuous one is a peony garden.
Zhao Liya knew that this peony garden was not originally planted with peonies, but red plums. Mrs. Zhou, the old lady who passed away, disliked Ximei very much, and finally transformed the original plum garden into what it is today.
But Zhao Liya knew that her mother-in-law, now the Duke's wife, also liked plum blossoms very much. Several red plum trees were planted in her yard.
Now is not the season for peonies to bloom, and the whole peony garden looks very monotonous.
It is interesting to embellish the rockery rocks among them. Various vines are crawling, some with sporadic small flowers, or hanging bright red fruits, which add a touch of color to this monotonous garden.
Zhao Liya smiled and said, "I think plum blossoms are more suitable in this place!"
Zhou Hansheng said without hesitation, "My lady is absolutely right, so plant it!"
Zhao Liya became interested and talked endlessly: "At that time, we will build another pavilion here with glazed windows on all sides. It will not be cold in winter. It will be convenient for my mother to come out to enjoy the plum blossoms."
Zhou Hansheng's eyes softened, and he nodded with a smile: "My lady is thoughtful, so I built it like this."
The two ostentatiously wandered around the garden, showcasing their love to the public. Everyone in the whole family knew that the wife of the son and the master of the son had a good relationship, but the maids and daughters-in-law were envious, and they discussed it in private. endlessly.
There is a family dinner tonight, and the "sick" Mrs. Zhou actually attended.
Old lady Zhou made Zhao Liya angry all day. After debating for a while, I finally decided to show up.
She pretended to be sick because she was deliberately embarrassing Zhao Liya, and was deliberately embarrassing others to find bad luck. As a result, no one in the big room took her seriously at all, and Zhao Liya still made her so angry that she continued to pretend. Is there any need?
If she doesn't show up, maybe she will be very happy in her heart!
Then she will appear.
As soon as he saw Mrs. Zhou, Zhou Hansheng saved his life. He tilted his head and looked at his wife dotingly, and then said with a smile: "My wife talked with the old lady for a long time today. The old lady's illness is serious." Well, my daughter-in-law is really a lucky star!"
Old Mrs. Zhou: "."
Everyone in the second room and third room: "."
Old lady Zhou sneered slightly, her chest seemed to hurt even more.
Mrs. Tuesday said with a half smile but not a smile: "It seems that the old lady likes her nephew and daughter-in-law very much. If she is free, she should go over and accompany the old lady more often, and be filial in front of the old lady!"
Zhao Liya smiled slightly: "As long as the old lady doesn't dislike it, then of course there is no problem."
Zhou Hansheng: "And me, I am also happy to accompany Aya to do my filial piety to the old lady!"
"No need," Mrs. Zhou smiled, "You young people just live your own life well, and you don't need to accompany my old lady."
Let them accompany? She still wants to live a few more years! One Zhao Liya is enough, but if Zhou Hansheng is added, she will be really angry and ill, the kind that will never get better.
Li Guogong and his wife soon came over, ordered the banquet, and everyone sat down.
There is the Duke of Li, and Zhou Hansheng is not easy to provoke, and others do not dare to make things difficult for Zhao Liya.
Even though the meal didn't go well with the heart, it went well.
Only Mrs. Tuesday and Mrs. Wednesday said something in unison, "Children are important matters, especially the heirs of the eldest son of the Duke's Mansion. The nephew and daughter-in-law must hurry up and strive to open up branches and leaves for the Duke's Mansion as soon as possible!" , "As old as the son of the world, there are already more than one child, and the nephew and daughter-in-law have to work hard!", "Yes, otherwise, wouldn't it be a joke for others!" I'm missing the blood of the eldest son!" and so on. However, they only said a few words before being interrupted by the Duke's wife in a lukewarm manner.
Zhou Hansheng also put on a smile and said: "Second Aunt and Third Aunt may wish to care more about their cousins and cousins when they are free. We don't need to worry about our first room. Aya and I are still young, and the children's affairs Not in a hurry!"
Mrs. Tuesday sneered, and wanted to say something more, but Li Guogong interrupted her.
She didn't dare to say anything, and so did the others.
Zhao Liya can see it intuitively and clearly. The Duke of the State is really unambiguous and majestic in the mansion. This is great, and it will save her a lot of trouble.
The next morning, Zhou Hansheng brought Zhao Liya into the palace to pay his respects to his aunt—the Queen Mother Zhou.
If it were an elder next to her, maybe she would despise her as the daughter of a criminal minister who had been exiled, but the Queen Mother Zhou also suffered for many years. Can understand some helplessness and last resort.
In addition to the relationship between the prince and the Zhao family, he loves the house and Wu, so naturally he will not dislike Zhao Liya. Not only that, but she scolded and punished all those who tried to slander Zhao Liya by making sarcastic remarks around her.
Zhao Liya then went to visit the queen and stayed in the queen's palace for lunch. Zhou Hansheng was left behind by the emperor.
It was not until noon that the two left the palace and returned home with the rewards from the Empress Dowager and the Empress.
Back home, the two of them were bored and bored, but they were finally truly at ease.
In the past two days, he didn't go out again. Zhou Hansheng was pestering his wife, and the two of them were together all the time.
Three Dynasties returned home, Zhou Hansheng accompanied Zhao Liya back to the Zhao family.
Zhao Xiang and Mrs. Deng have long been looking forward to it. When Zhao Lixiang and Zhao Lin saw her sister get off the carriage, they happily called "Sister!" and ran towards her, holding her hand affectionately and chirping.
My sister got married, and there seemed to be a vacancy in the family, and the siblings were not used to it.
Seeing my sister is back now, I am so unhappy!
Although Deng Shi and Zhao Xiang knew that Zhou Shizi would definitely treat their daughter well, the situation in Liguo Duke's Mansion was different from their own. It was not as simple as their own, especially Deng Shi, it was impossible not to worry.
Now seeing the radiant face of the precious girl, the full of smiles, the happiness in the brows and eyes, and the shyness and sweetness of the newly-wed mother, which cannot be faked, Deng was really relieved and rejoiced.
Mothers are like this, as long as their children are really doing well, it is better than anything else.
Zhou Hansheng and Zhao Liya knelt down to worship their father-in-law and mother-in-law, changed their words, and met the Zhao family again in new identities, so Zhao Xiang went to the study with him and Hu Ling to talk. Widow Qu, mother and daughter smiled and went to the kitchen to prepare lunch, and Mrs. Deng had to pull Zhao Liya and her mother to have a good talk.
