Chapter 292 Active
"Ninger, don't you like Taiping? Why do you still have to go to her princess's mansion?" Zhang Zong asked Xue Ninger helplessly in the shaking carriage.
"It's because I don't like her that I want to go!" Xue Ning'er smiled mischievously when she said this, then turned her eyes and said again, "I've already thought about it. I'll find her bedroom later and then engrave my name. When she sees my words in the future, she will definitely be so angry that it's funny to think about it!"
Zhang Zong was speechless when he heard Ning'er's words. The little girl's thoughts were really hard to guess. Although Xue Ning'er had grown into a graceful girl, under the protection of Princess Chengyang, she made her simpler than girls of her age.
Taiping's Princess Mansion is not far from Furong Garden, and there is even a crossroads built along the city wall from the Princess Mansion to Furong Garden, but the crossroads have not been completed yet, so Zhang Zong and Ning'er did not take that road.
Soon the princess's mansion arrived. Zhang Zong jumped out of the carriage, then reached out to help Ning'er get out of the car. Then the two looked up at the grand princess' mansion. Compared with the large construction site when Zhang Zong first came, it has been basically completed. The gatehouse of the mansion gate is tall and majestic, no worse than the palace gate of the imperial palace.
"What a luxury, even a gate is built so luxuriously!" Xue Ning'er looked at the tall gatehouse and curled her lips and complained that she and Taiping have always been enemies and friends. When she was young, Taiping always bullied her. Later, under the influence of Zhang Zong and others, she became much braver and dared to fight back against Taiping. Every time the two met, they would make a noise.
"Let's go in and take a look. The garden inside was designed by me myself!" Zhang Zong smiled and made a gesture to Ning'er to invite him. He still had a supervisory position. Now the princess's mansion has basically been completed, but Taiping has not moved in yet.
"Brother Shi, you have been plotted by Taiping, but you can't favor one or the other. You will also help me design a garden in the future!" Xue Ning'er made her request at this time.
"No problem. When you get married one day, I will design a house for you!" Zhang Zong immediately laughed and said.
"I... I won't marry anyone else!" Xue Ning'er's face turned red when she heard this, but her eyes were staring at Zhang Zong, and her expression also brought something a little different.
Zhang Zong was also panicked by Ning'er's bold eyes, especially when he learned Ning'er's thoughts from Wan'er, which made him feel even more unnatural. However, under this unnatural, he felt a little happy, which made him not know what he was thinking?
"Well! I...I will take you in!" In the end, Zhang Zong finally took the initiative to break the ambiguous relationship between the two.
Ning'er also lowered her head shyly, then let out a slight "um" sound, and then the two of them stepped into the newly completed princess's mansion. Because the mansion was basically completed, there were no workers. Instead, some maids and eunuchs sent from the palace began to make some arrangements for the mansion so that Taiping could be moved in at any time.
Zhang Zong had already known the entire Princess Mansion, so he acted as a tour guide and introduced Ning'er to various buildings in the mansion while walking. However, Ning'er was not very interested in other parts of the Princess Mansion, and just wanted to go and see the garden designed by Zhang Zong earlier, so Zhang Zong finally took her to the location of the back garden of the inner house.
In fact, although Zhang Zong likes to plant flowers and once designed a small garden by himself, the gardens in the mansion, such as the Princess Mansion, cover a large area and are not comparable to small gardens, so Zhang Zong has no experience in this.
Fortunately, Zhang Zong liked to travel in later generations and had been to many places, such as Suzhou gardens, the Forbidden City in Beijing, etc., and there were also many parks in many places. Therefore, Zhang Zong designed a garden of considerable size based on Suzhou gardens according to his own memory.
Although Zhang Zong's design has many shortcomings, fortunately the craftsmen sent are all experienced. With their help, the design of the entire garden is perfected. After all, Zhang Zong can only design the appearance of the garden, but other facilities inside the garden, such as drainage, fire prevention, etc., need these experienced craftsmen to complete.
When you enter the garden of the Princess' Mansion, you will see a winding corridor. On the paths around the corridor, rockery, flowing water and other landscapes are also arranged, making the entire garden very layered. In fact, Zhang Zong almost copied the Liuyuan in Suzhou. Although Liuyuan is not as famous as the Humble Administrator's Garden, it is also one of the four major gardens in later generations. Zhang Zong has been there several times and is deeply impressed by some exquisite designs.
"This garden is so beautiful. Brother Shi, you really know everything!" Xue Ning'er looked at the beautiful scenery around her and quickly grabbed Zhang Zong's arm and said excitedly, her eyes full of admiration, almost shining with little stars.
"The main reason is that the craftsmen sent are experienced. If it weren't for their help, I wouldn't have made such a beautiful garden." Zhang Zong also smiled embarrassedly at this time.
"Brother Shi, don't be humble. I have decided. In the future, Brother Shi, you must design a garden that is more beautiful than here, and at least compare Taiping here!" Xue Ning'er said excitedly again at this time. When she spoke, she did not let go of her hands holding Zhang Zong's arm, but instead moved closer.
"This... OK." Zhang Zong was also a little panicked by Ning'er approaching, and nodded in a conditioned reflex and agreed.
"That's great, thank you brother Shi!" Ning'er saw Zhang Zong agreeing, and immediately hugged Zhang Zong's arm even more excitedly, and almost leaned against Zhang Zong's shoulder.
Feeling Ning'er's delicate slightness and the faint fragrance of virginity made Zhang Zong feel a little confused. He is not a stone. Facing Ning'er's pretty and beautiful girl, and the other party is so proactive in expressing his affection for him, he will of course be moved.
Ning'er's face was also flushed with shame. In fact, she didn't have such courage at first, but she had heard Wan'er say before that Zhang Zong is a very passive person. If he wants to make him fall in love with him, he must be more proactive, so she will take the initiative everywhere. And now Zhang Zong has not refused to be close to her. Obviously, her initiative has also worked, which makes her heart more like a mug of honey, and the smile on her face has a sweet smell.
