Chapter 686 This is the mistress’s yard (Additional update 3)
However, Ye Siming was holding Gu Nuoer. The little girl in his arms was a small and delicate ball.
Being carefully cared for in his arms, anyone with a discerning eye in the mansion could see that this girl was of high status.
Among all the people in the capital, the only one who could be hugged by Yong Yehou like this was the little Princess Yaoguang.
The butler was very discerning and quickly said hello: "Greetings to the princess and the marquis, my old servant Chang Deman is the butler of the mansion."
He briefly talked about the cashier and front yard manager.
Because Yong Yehou has not yet gotten married, there is currently no nanny in charge of the backyard.
The rest are servants and maids.
Ye Siming glanced casually.
"Go and light all the lamps in the corridor. The princess wants to see it. Butler Chang, please lead us around."
Chang Deman agreed repeatedly.
He gave a few instructions, and several servants with nimble legs and feet ran to various courtyards and started lighting lamps.
Gu Nuoer put her little hand on Ye Siming's shoulder and turned to look around the yard.
Exotic flowers and plants abound.
This house was originally one of the private properties of the imperial court.
It was originally built according to the configuration of a third-grade officer.
Therefore, the verandah was built beside a small lake, which is extremely poetic and picturesque. There are several bluestone paths paved in the moonlight, and flowers and trees can be seen everywhere.
If it comes in spring, I don't know how beautiful it will be.
Chang Deman first led the two of them to the main courtyard where Ye Siming was supposed to stay.
The yard occupies a very large area, with a spacious main house and two side houses adjacent to it.
There are also ear chambers on the left and right sides.
Gu Nuo'er took a look, and Xiao Naiyin commented: "Well, it's quite satisfactory!"
Ye Siming didn't feel much about the house. He came here mainly to accompany Nuo'er.
He only cares about one thing at the moment.
"Steward Chang, go and ask someone to light a charcoal fire in the main room."
The night wind is too cold. Although the little guy is wearing a lot of clothes, he probably can't withstand the cold wind.
Take her in for a while to warm her up.
Chang Deman quickly nodded in agreement and turned back to arrange the people.
Ye Siming hugged Gu Nuoer and passed through a hanging flower door in the main courtyard.
Then we arrived at another smaller courtyard.
It's small compared to the main courtyard, but it's actually quite big.
The decoration here is a bit unique.
Where the wing room was originally supposed to be built, two flower gardens were built instead.
There is a big tree near the corner with a swing hanging from it.
Gu Nuoer looked around and felt that this yard was much prettier than the main house just now.
She pointed to an empty place with her little finger: "Brother Siming, I think it would be great if there was a small fish pond there."
Gu Nuoer blinked her watery black eyes: "In summer, you can stand on the small bridge and feed the fish. This is how my brothers and I played in the palace."
Ye Siming nodded, turned around and called: "Steward Chang——"
Chang Deman ran over quickly.
"What are your orders, Lord Marquis?"
"Find someone to build a fish pond at that location tomorrow."
Gu Nuoer added in a sweet voice: "I want the one with the white jade bridge, it will look better if it is smaller!"
Ye Siming pursed his lips: "Do you remember?"
Chang Deman was stunned and said repeatedly: "I remember, I remember."
However, he was a little embarrassed.
Do you want to tell Mr. Hou?
This courtyard is for the future mistress.
What if the mistress doesn’t like the pool in the yard in the future?
But no one dared to object to the princess's order.
Butler Chang didn't say much.
After walking around, the little guy mumbled and complained: "I'm tired, brother Siming, why is your house so big?"
Ye Siming sneered: "I've always been holding you, and you haven't left yet, so you're tired? Then let's go back to the main house and warm up for a while."
