Wei Xi drew very seriously, not to mention that Wei Yun was already practicing martial arts, so she didn't notice that someone came in the study at all.When her arm was sore, she stopped and shook it sideways, inadvertently turned her head away, and suddenly met a pair of faint eyes, and her breathing was unsteady and she almost fell from the wooden ladder.Wei Yun had already moved to the bottom of the wooden ladder with his body fast enough to move, stretched out his arms, and waited for Wei Xi to stand firmly, then put it down, and stretched out his hand to point to the huge piece of paper, "Xi Xi, what are you drawing?"
”After a while, the two sisters sat down facing each other, and Wei Xi poured a cup and handed it over, "Sister, let's have a cup of tea first." ”Wei Yun took the teacup and drank it with his head up, and his eyes fell on the little sister's face with a mistake.lowered his voice, "Xixi, what do you want to do?"
”Wei Xi blinked, "Sister hasn't already guessed it."
This is what it looked like after the Northern Foothills.However, the name of the Northern Foot Wilderness is a bit ugly, and when the content drawn on this picture becomes a reality, I want to rename it Taoyuan Town. ”Wei Yun still couldn't hold back and gasped.There was silence in the study for a long time before Wei Yun asked again: "Don't tell me, you had this plan a long time ago?"
”Wei Xi nodded calmly again under her sister's blazing gaze, "It's really early."
Before coming to Shangjing, in fact, if there was no place in the northern foothills, I still had a backup plan. ”Wei Yun: "She will feel a little pain in her head."
Such a big Northern Foot Wilderness, what are you using it for?"
Wei Yun was puzzled, "Also, why is it called Taoyuan Town?"
”"It's used to live in people, call it Taoyuan Town, and the name is good."
Wei Yun: "Is there a difference between this answer and no answer?"
Her expression became serious, "Xixi, do you know how much energy and money it takes to turn the Northern Foot Wilderness into Taoyuan Town?"
”Such a large northern foothill wilderness is almost unimaginable.She intuitively felt that this Taoyuan Town would never be just used to live for people, but Xiaomei didn't want to say it, and she didn't want to force it to ask."
Sister," Wei Xi poured another cup of tea and pushed it over, "I'm already doing it." ”Wei Yun was dumbfounded.Oh, yes.First, the title deed worth hundreds of thousands of taels, and then it took up to three months to almost cover every piece of land in the northern foothills, and now it is to build roads.Thinking about it now, almost every step of the way, Xi Xi is completing it in an orderly manner.Thinking of this, she couldn't help but glance at the huge drawing next to her.Nearly two-thirds of the way has been drawn on it, with orderly streets, large and small buildings, and rivers crisscrossing it.It is now on paper, and perhaps in the near future, every stroke here will become a brick and tile, a stone and a water, presented in reality.Wei Yun subconsciously covered her chest, and she felt that her heart was beating a little fast.What's going on with a sudden feeling of excitement?
Wei Xi's voice came from the side at this moment, "Sister, I will turn Taoyuan Town into a real Taoyuan." ”Wei Yun closed his eyes, took a deep breath and opened them, and looked at Wei Xi sitting opposite for a while, "Do whatever you want."
If the silver is not enough, my sister still has it here. ”She will also figure it out, as long as Xi Xi is happy, everything will be fine."
That's right," Wei Yun turned around and turned his head to look at Wei Xi, "I almost forgot to tell you, tomorrow is the 60th birthday of the old Qingguo Gong of the Qing Guo Mansion, and our family will go over to celebrate his birthday." ”Seeing that Wei Xi opened her mouth to refuse, she continued: "His Royal Highness King Yue will also go." ”Wei Xi resolutely shut up.Dayong has only three princes.The Yaoguo Mansion was knighted with military merits, the Qingguo Mansion had the merit of the dragon, the British Mansion had the merit of the dragon, and the military merit was conferred on the knighthood.Lao Qingguo was young and romantic, married a wife with more than ten concubines, and gave birth to more than 20 children, which can be called one of the most prosperous families in Shangjing.But there are many children, and there are many fights, for the favor of the father, for the family property, on the surface, brothers, friends and brothers, but secretly they have already fought for red eyes.Lao Qingguo is not unaware of the turbulent undercurrents between his children and grandchildren, but he is old and lacks energy, as long as the children behave happily in front of him, he chooses to turn a blind eye.As long as he ensures that his only son-in-law is a sure thing, and if the other concubines want to fight, they will rely on their own ability.As for the British government, it is the thinnest of the three families.I don't know from which generation, the British government's descendants of the male body became weaker and weaker, since then, it is like a curse, as long as the male born in the descendant line, all are weak, and the female is healthy.However, the children and grandchildren of the concubines were not affected in any way, regardless of gender.In the long run, the lineage is weak, and the side branches are rising, and in this generation, there are only two children in the lineage, a boy and a girl.And the current British prince is very weak, whether he can live to adulthood is still two words.If the British princess does not live to adulthood, if she wants to keep the title of the British Duke, the British Duchess has only one choice, that is, from the side children, one of the successives.Or, even if it is to abandon the title of Duke of England.Wei Xi sat in the carriage and listened to his sister-in-law talk about the other two national mansions vividly, and it was rare that he did not feel drowsy.Ran Qingguo Mansion is only two streets away from Yaoguo Mansion, Tang Yuanyuan has just finished speaking to Wei Yun and Wei Xi sisters, the carriage is stunned, and there are already large and small voices in front of him, arriving.Wei Xi got out of the carriage after Wei Yun, and was blown by the cold wind outside, so he hurriedly shrank his head and hugged the stove in his hand."
The guests of the Yaoguo Mansion have arrived."
This time he came to congratulate his birthday, Wei Song still did not come forward, and it was Wei Yan who led everyone over.Wei Xi followed behind her mother and entered the gate of the Qingguo Mansion, and she didn't have the heart to see what the Qingguo Mansion looked like, she just wanted to hurry to the banquet hall to warm up.Lao Qingguo Gong is 60 years old this year, and there are many officials in the capital who come to congratulate him on his birthday, and they are all people.Wei Yun and the others tightened the little sister beside them as soon as they were too long, and they didn't let go until they entered the warm pavilion for temporary rest.They are sitting in the main hall of the warm pavilion, and the official positions of the husband and father and brother of the lady sitting in it are all three grades up, and the three grades down are arranged in the left and right side halls.After Wei Xi sat down, he saw that there was no one on the other side.And in the front positions on the left and right sides of the main hall, sitting on one side are the ladies of their Yaoguo Mansion, and Wei Xi guessed that the ones who will come over opposite should be the ladies of the British Mansion.The front hall across a curtain is a men's seat, and there is a faint sound of talking, Wei Xi just moved to sit down, and turned his head to see the maid of the Qingguo Mansion leading a mother and daughter over.Then he came across from them and sat down.Wei Xi's heart moved, and he looked over with some curiosity.The English duchess was an unsmiling face, and even today she came to celebrate her birthday, and there was no smile on her face.And the girl sitting next to her was wearing a crimson shirt, and her eyebrows and eyes were rare to see.is also very keen, almost as soon as Wei Xi moved his eyes to her, she noticed it, and looked up at it exactly as she could.Wei Xi didn't have the consciousness of being caught on the spot, and nodded at her very calmly.The other party paused, and also hooked his lips and chin slightly, which was regarded as a greeting.Finally, when the people were almost here, the two maids guarding the door came in and blessed everyone in the hall, "Please also ask the ladies and ladies to move to the birthday hall with the slaves and maids." ”When he arrived at the unprecedentedly spacious Birthday Hall, Wei Xi really saw how many people were thriving in this Qingguo Mansion.Looking at the guests on her side, more than a dozen young masters of the Qingguo Mansion who were from their teens to their thirties were entertaining guests back and forth, and there were ten young ladies of the Qingguo Mansion and six young ladies of the Qingguo Mansion on their side, and there were seven or eight young ladies of the Qingguo Mansion who had already married.Wei Xi: "Now she really has gained knowledge.The guests who waited for the arrival were arranged one by one, and Lao Qingguo and his wife slowly entered the birthday hall with the support of the maid.Wei Xi followed and set his eyes on the powerful old man.Although his hair has turned gray, his back is straight, and he is still old and strong.After Lao Qingguo Gong and his wife sat down in the main seat, dozens of people stood up in front of the seat and walked to the center of the hall, first the birthday of the children, then the birthday of the grandchildren, and finally the birthday of the great-grandchildren.The guests were silent in their seats, and they were all amazed by the huge scene.Rao knows in his heart that most of these people are not in harmony with each other, but they are also real descendants!
When the guests began to celebrate their birthdays, a roll call suddenly came from outside, "His Royal Highness King Yue has arrived." ”As soon as the words fell, everyone in the hall had already turned their heads to look at the door, and after seeing the dark figure, they hurriedly got up and saluted, "I've seen His Royal Highness King Yue." ”Wei Xi also lowered his head, and out of the corner of his eye, he watched a corner of dark clothes pass in front of him.Lao Qingguo Gong also stood up, and was about to bow his hand, but was held up by a pair of thin but powerful hands, "This king came to congratulate the old birthday star today, and Qing Guogong doesn't have to salute." ”As he spoke, he walked directly to the guest chief seat on the right.The crowd waited for him to sit down, and then they sat down.Wei Xi glanced up in his direction, his gaze slightly off, and then at the empty guest chief on the left.There's another heavyweight who hasn't arrived.With the sound of birthday celebrations one after another, nearly a cup of tea passed, and another singing harmony sounded outside the birthday hall, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived." ”Zong Yu was dressed in an apricot yellow prince robe, stepped into the birthday hall in the greeting of everyone led by Lao Qingguogong, stretched out his hand to help Lao Qingguo Gong up, and raised his hand towards everyone, "Everyone." ”Then he looked at Zong Xu who was standing in his seat, "Lone originally wanted to come with the ninth brother, but I didn't expect it to be late." ”As soon as Wei Xi got up, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard this.That doesn't sound right!
Then she saw Zong Xu arching his hand towards the prince, "Don't blame His Royal Highness the prince, it's the Yue Wangfu that is closer to the Qingguo Mansion." ”All the guests present: ""
