Chapter 267 The best dowry
"Okay, it's just the holiday. I'll find a few people to work on. The environment here is worse than the one in the third place. It's close to the main road, so it's not as quiet as here." After hearing Ji Mingxuan's words, Xie Zhao thought for a while and said that she liked the small courtyard that Mei Yanan gave her, both in the environment and in the layout. She didn't want to buy it here at the beginning. Although it was just across three alleys, there was no takeout for the house here.
The owner of the house here is either passed down from his ancestors or those powerful people who have retired and lived as retirement places. It is impossible to sell it. Otherwise, Xie Zhao would not have seen the dilapidated yard of the three-entry yard, and he hurriedly bought it. After all, there are not many houses for takeout in this area, but Xie Zhao did not expect Mei Yanan to give this yard to her as a betrothal gift, and before she got engaged to Ji Mingxuan.
The two of them arrived unknowingly, Xie Zhao asked Ji Mingxuan to let her go, but Ji Mingxuan was unwilling. Xie Zhao lay on his back with a funny look and asked, "Isn't it heavy? Is this all the way?"
"I'm so embarrassed to say, look at how thin you are. I've taken this medicine and taken the medicinal food. Why are you still so thin?" He gently held Xie Zhao on his back. Ji Mingxuan said with some dissatisfaction that Xie Zhao has only grown but not gained weight in recent years, but has become more and more weak.
Xie Zhao also said a little depressedly after hearing this: "Brother, this is because of the physical condition. I have eaten a lot now, but I don't gain weight. Why do you all give me supplements and other things? Grandma is the same. She either stews soup or makes medicinal food. The old Chinese medicine doctor said that I am in good health."
"Well, I have asked carefully. I am recuperating now. However, the hidden dangers you left when you were young are still affected. I will keep recuperating for a few years." After the Hanghuamen, Ji Mingxuan put down Xie Zhao and held her hand and walked slowly towards the small garden.
This made Xie Zhao smile awkwardly. Although she grew up in the countryside when she was a child, she lived with her grandparents at the age of six. Her grandparents loved her again. She had a small appetite and was very skewed. At that time, her grandmother was really doing whatever she liked to eat. However, she was indeed not very interested in food at that time, even if her grandparents thought she liked it.
That's it. She eats smaller and more picky food, otherwise she wouldn't have met Ji Mingxuan after going to college. Under the diagnosis and treatment of the old doctor he found, she developed a lot of alarmist diagnosis such as weak spleen and stomach, malnutrition and anemia. Xie Zhao still remembers that at that time, whether it was Ji Mingxuan or his grandparents, his face was extremely ugly. After two or three years of recuperation, he had almost gotten better.
Seeing Xie Zhao not speaking, Ji Mingxuan knew that every time he talked about this topic, Xie Zhao was a little guilty. After all, aren’t they all naughty children who don’t want to eat? She, who has always been known for being well-behaved and sensible, actually got malnourished because of her unwillingness to eat. This is not something that a well-behaved and sensible person can do.
After Ji Mingxuan turned on the light switch of the small garden, Xie Zhao looked at the small garden that looked very vibrant under the dizzy light. This garden is not too big, it covers an area of about 800 square meters, which is similar to the two-in-one house. However, the pavilions, pavilions, corridors and boats in this garden are small and elegant, and the flowers and trees are sparse and pleasant. Stepping through the stacked rocks, strolling on the pavilions, terraces, pavilions, winding paths, and long corridors. Holding a cup of fragrant tea in your hand, you can lean on the building to listen to the rain and taste tea and talk elegantly.
This garden is designed according to the typical Jiangnan garden, and does not have the rough and grandeur of the northern garden in the traditional sense. Xie Zhao knew that this was Mei Yanan who asked Ji Mingxuan to find out Xie Zhao's preferences and preferences, and found someone to design it. For this reason, Xie Zhao also talked with Mei Yanan specifically, hoping that she would not have to worry so much. After all, this garden has been well preserved and just repaired it a little, and there is no need to do such a big deal.
But Mei Yanan was very persistent. I remember that she said at that time: "This garden is not too big, less than 2,000 square meters. It was her mother, only the dowry given to her by Ji Mingxuan's grandmother. She has no daughter, but she can be given to her eldest daughter-in-law as a betrothal gift, which can be regarded as a fulfillment of her kindness. Because of Ji Mingxuan's father, it has always been a pity for her to not live here, but if she has the eldest son and daughter-in-law, it will be considered a fulfillment of her regret."
For this reason, except for the main building in place, this garden was only repaired for a while, and almost all the others were re-wrought. This way, the original rough and atmospheric northern style was designed into the exquisite and elegant Jiangnan style, exquisite and beautiful, and the original structure of the separate house and garden was directly changed, allowing the house and garden to perfectly integrate together, and the perfect combination of architecture and garden made Xie Zhao feel that living here is truly a life of piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, wine and flowers.
"This garden made Aunt Mei spend a lot of effort and money, which made me feel a little disgusted. Brother, what should I do when Minghui gets married in the future?" Walking among the rockery, Xie Zhao's thoughts were a little released, and he asked in a blunt way where he thought of it.
Ji Mingxuan rubbed her head with a funny look and said, "Zhaozhao doesn't have to worry about this. Minghui will live with his parents when he gets married. My job is destined to be impossible to have time to accompany his parents and you, so I don't want you to live with my parents, just don't want to let you suffer grievances. After all, I'm often not at home, and living with my in-laws and brother-in-law will inevitably be restrained. It's better for us to live alone and let our grandparents accompany you. I can feel much more at ease when working outside."
"Will Minghui live with his parents? Or does it mean that the person Hui likes is willing?" Xie Zhao looked at Ji Mingxuan's affirmative attitude and couldn't help asking curiously. The eldest son and daughter-in-law in this family did not live with their parents, but let their youngest son live with them. I'm afraid that many families and girls would not want to!
Ji Mingxuan chuckled and said, "Zhaozhao, Minghui is different from me. He wants to be a doctor, but he won't be a military doctor. In this way, the best working environment is in Kyoto, and it's okay to live in Kyoto with his parents for a long time. But his work will make him stay away from this circle in the future. So what should he do if his children are the eldest uncle of the child? But some things are not something I can do. So if the child has a good foreign family, what would Zhaozhao say?"
"Is this what Minghui means, or is it at home..."
"Zhaozhao, this is what Minghui and I have talked about. Minghui is straightforward and is not suitable for career. He likes to study medicine, so let him study. My father once wanted him to be a military doctor in the army. Minghui didn't like it, so I stopped him. My father couldn't be my master of my marriage, so he thought about letting Minghui listen to him. I talked with Minghui that the general family background can be decided by the elders in the family, but the candidate must be liked by Minghui!"
