Chapter 840 Where Are the Original Craftsmen?
"Since Your Highness, King Chen, wants to see it, I will naturally accompany him." The Tai Furen nodded in agreement, but did not directly talk about Shao Caihuan's affairs, nor did she pay attention to what Shao Caihuan said before.
"Fifth girl, do you want to stay and take a look at the shadow wall, or go with the prince to take a look at your second uncle's yard?" Mrs. Tai turned to Shao Wanru and asked.
Shao Wanru was immersed in the sadness of the past. It was not possible to enter the Quhuan Courtyard at any time. Even if she wanted to enter, she had to get the permission of the Madam. It was a rare opportunity to stay and take a look. Naturally, she would not I'm willing to just leave.
Shaking his head gently, and suppressing the sadness in his eyes, Shao Wanru said: "Grandma, I still want to see my father's smile again."
"Well, you take a look here first, and the third girl and I will accompany His Highness to see your second uncle's yard!" said the wife.
Shao Wanru nodded and glanced past Chu Liuchen. Seeing his face, he couldn't help but frown slightly. The prince didn't look happy.
Seeing Shao Wanru's eyes turning around, Chu Liuchen suddenly smiled and said to her gently: "Then you stay here and watch for now. I will come to you later if I have something else to do!"
"Yes, Your Highness!" Shao Wanru bowed sideways, becoming more respectful in front of others, and of course he did not find any reason to refuse.
Her attitude made Chu Liuchen feel a little better, and he turned around and walked out. The wife winked at Shao Caihuan and followed immediately.
After being directly ignored by Chu Liuchen's wife because of what he said, Shao Caihuan fell into a state of self-pity and self-pity. At this time, after receiving the look from the wife, he immediately became overjoyed and hurriedly walked a few steps and ran up. Chu Liuchen's footsteps were filled with excitement.
Leaving Shao Wanru alone and taking her with her, was this grandma's intention? Shao Caihuan was shy and excited at the same time, and felt that her heart was beating out of her chest.
I felt more and more aggrieved. Why was it that it was not Shao Wanru who was attacked in the palace at that time, but me? If Shao Wanru was injured at that time and had so many sores on his face, she was the one who was sent out of the palace at that time, and she was the one who was justified. Princess Chen, just thinking about it made her excited.
She stared at Chu Liuchen's handsome back almost dreamingly. If such a man could really marry her, what else would she want in this life?
Shao Caihuan didn't dare to get too close to Chu Liuchen, but he didn't want to stay too far away. He followed Chu Liuchen two steps away in a trot, looking at Chu Liuchen affectionately from time to time. Even the lady on the side from time to time He glanced at her without noticing, and his whole body was focused on Chu Liuchen.
Seeing Shao Caihuan's almost irrepressible expression of obsession, the wife frowned and suddenly felt that her idea was not a good one!
A group of people came to the door of the courtyard where Duke Xingguo was and stopped. The courtyard of Shao Jing, Duke of Xingguo, was called Luofengyuan. It did not have an inner courtyard. It was a separate courtyard in the outer courtyard. If he wanted to live in the inner courtyard, He would live in the place of Duke Xingguo's wife or other concubines. There was no separate courtyard for him in the inner courtyard.
When you enter, the first thing you see is a pavilion, located in a remote corner of the yard. If it weren't for its prominent location, this pavilion would actually be very inconspicuous.
"This place is really high!" Chu Liuchen sighed deeply after standing still.
"This was originally a place where the second uncle read and rested, but because it is a little higher, it is usually not used. The second uncle also has a study room for resting! Shao Caihuan hurriedly stepped forward and explained.
"Vacant?" Chu Liuchen asked, raising his eyebrows.
"It's vacant. There should be some sundries there. I heard that very few people go in here and it's basically abandoned. But because it's in the second uncle's yard, we usually send someone to clean it up." Shao Caihuan was attentive. Unexpectedly, hearing that His Highness King Chen actually spoke to her made her whole body feel happy.
Chu Liuchen glanced at Shao Caihuan coldly, and there was some coldness between his brows and eyes, with an air of autumn and winter, and a hint of coldness in just one glance.
Helplessly, Shao Caihuan was so preoccupied with Chu Liuchen's gentle and jade-like appearance and voice that he never noticed that his expression had changed.
The madam coughed lowly and scolded Shao Caihuan: "Third girl, come to grandma. If you don't know these things, don't gossip. Don't take the nonsense you heard as the correct answer and tell His Highness King Chen.
Shao Caihuan was inexplicably scolded and felt aggrieved, but he had to retreat to the Madam's side, lowered his head and pulled the handkerchief in his hand, feeling helpless and aggrieved.
"Madam, do you mean that this pavilion has another use?"
Chu Liuchen ignored Shao Caihuan's entanglement. In his eyes, he couldn't see the shy faces of other women. He raised his head and looked at the tall buildings here. There was a trace of depth in his eyes. This pavilion, in fact, Very strange.
"This was originally a pavilion built in the earliest days of the mansion. It is the main courtyard and the main courtyard of the Duke of the Kingdom. With such a pavilion, you can usually handle affairs here and receive guests directly here. You can even enjoy the view from above, but later I felt that this was not good, so I set up a separate study room!"
The lady explained.
"Why is it bad? Isn't it a good thing to be able to meet guests directly in the courtyard, rest and enjoy the scenery?" Chu Liuchen raised his eyebrows and asked lazily.
"It was good at first, but then..." The wife hesitated at this point, as if she didn't know what to say.
"Oh, could there be another mystery here?" Chu Liuchen became interested and looked at the apparently abandoned pavilion.
Having said this, the wife could only continue, "The rest is not really a mystery. This courtyard was originally prepared for the boss, and the boss even moved some things here. I originally expected it to be more convenient when he moved in one day, but I didn’t expect that in the end..."
The wife sighed sadly when she came here, shook her head, her voice was bitter, and when she thought of her eldest son, she couldn't help but feel sad: "Then the second brother moved in, and I didn't want those things belonging to the eldest son. He threw it away and asked him to move into this high-rise building, so the attic became idle. It didn't matter much at first. The second son didn't like this attic very much, and it was at the corner of the yard. I just want to build a study room!"
"The things belonging to the former Prince Xingguo?" Chu Liuchen was quite surprised by the result. "Can't we put the things belonging to the former Prince Xingguo in the previous yard?"
"In the previous courtyard, the boss and Princess Qinghua lived together. Princess Qinghua has been living there since she got married. When Princess Qinghua got married, she brought a lot of things, so the boss took some things with her. After moving here, everything in Quhuan Courtyard will mainly belong to Princess Qinghua!"
The lady explained.
This statement is very reasonable. The former Prince Xingguo moved some things to Duke Xingguo's yard. As his father, Duke Xingguo also directly taught the former Prince Xingguo that it was normal to put some things here to avoid having to worry about it every time. If you need anything, go to the backyard and get it.
Chu Liuchen nodded and did not ask any more questions. He was quite satisfied with Mrs. Tai's explanation and walked into the courtyard.
There were two young men guarding the entrance of the courtyard. When they saw the Madam coming, they knew from Chu Liuchen's appearance that they were no ordinary guests, so they hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
"Is the Duke here?" the lady asked.
"The Duke of Guo is not in the yard. He has not come back until today!" A boy replied cleverly.
The madam frowned. Something like this happened yesterday. What was Shao Jing doing if he didn't come back at this time? But she couldn't ask in front of Chu Liuchen, so she could only say: "Open the door, His Highness King Chen is coming in." have a look!"
Now that Mrs. Tai had spoken, of course the young man did not dare to refuse. The two of them opened the courtyard door wide, and Chu Liuchen walked in slowly. After entering, he discovered that the door was also a huge shadow wall, which was the same as before in Qu. The shadow wall in the Huanyuan has a different approach but the same effect, which is quite surprising.
Could it be that the descendants of Duke Xingguo's Mansion all have this habit.
Chu Liuchen went to the shadow wall and took a look, and found that this place was no different from other shadow walls. It was just a painting on it. When he went back inside, it was also a painting.
Standing in front of the painting, Chu Liuchen looked at it carefully. The corners of his lips were slightly raised. The wife felt that he seemed to be in a good mood. She exhaled heavily at that moment. She was afraid that His Highness King Chen was pregnant. I'm angry, but I can't see it yet. If it seems fine at this moment, then it's no big deal.
His Highness Chen Wang must have seen what happened before forcing Shao Wanru in the flower hall. He was still laughing now, which showed that Shao Wanru was not that important in the heart of His Highness Chen Wang.
Now Chu Liuchen wouldn't leave, and she couldn't leave either. She could only stop and wait for Chu Liuchen to finish reading.
Shao Caihuan stood beside Chu Liuchen. Seeing the clear smile on Chu Liuchen's face, she also smiled. She rubbed the handkerchief in her hand again and again, with a bit of shame, and wanted to go up. He talked to me, but I was afraid of being scolded by my grandmother, and I was thinking about when I could be alone with His Highness, King Chen!
"Madam, who painted this picture?" Chu Liuchen's attention fell on the painting and he looked at it for a while and asked.
"I don't know who painted this. When we renovated this place, it was custom-made by our old master. These things are not my responsibility!" The madam shook her head. She really didn't know these things. Even if I want to answer, I can’t.
In fact, the Duke's Mansion has existed for a long time, and it is still their ancestral home. However, some places were destroyed during the war. This place was once destroyed, and it was rebuilt later, but the wife only knew that it was rebuilt. , she doesn’t know exactly how it was built!
Chu Liuchen didn't take it seriously, but after carefully reading the writing style above, he asked again: "Do you know that the craftsman who built this courtyard is still there?"
"Those craftsmen..." The wife hesitated for a moment and gave the answer hesitantly, "Your Highness, I really don't know who they are, but the old housekeeper may know something. If Your Highness wants to know, I will give up. Someone go and call the old housekeeper over!"
