The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 88

Chapter 88: Chapter 75, Subsidiary Court_l

“Miss, are we two going to live in this courtyard in the future? It’s so big!

Wang Manman followed behind Daohua, enthusiastically observing their new home.

Daohua Pavilion was spacious, with three main rooms facing north, one open and two dark, and wing rooms on both sides. To the west, there were three wing rooms, a row of rear seats to the south, and a flower trellis corridor to the east, beside which was a small cultivated flower bed.

Daohua was interested in looking around the courtyard, and as expected, she would live here for the next three years or even longer. Hearing Wang Manman’s words, she pondered for a moment, “Father is now the Prefectural Governor, so after Mother finishes her busy work, our family should indeed hire a group of servants.”

Wang Manman: “By then, will more people be added to serve the miss?” Daohua shookher head, “I don’t know, it depends on Mother’s arrangements.” Privately, she had calculated the Yan Family’s income and expenses, and they couldn’t afford too many servants at the moment. If Madam Li were to hire more, she would prioritize those who often went out to socialize.

“Alright, let’s not talk about this for now, let’s think about how to arrange the courtyard instead.”

In the following period, the Yan Family was busy.

Yan Zhigao was busy with the handover at the Prefectural Governor’s Office and getting to know the officials in Xingzhou; Madam Li was occupied with arranging the household affairs, not daring to be negligent for fear of embarrassing her husband.

The others were busy arranging the courtyard and tidying up the household.

Half a month later, Yan Zhigao got a general handle on the personnel and affairs at the Prefectural Governor’s Office, and the other members of the Yan Family gradually adapted to life in Xingzhou.

During this time, Daohua also reorganized her courtyard, with the main rooms serving as guest reception and resting areas, the western wing rooms set up as a study and sewing room, and the rear rows reserved for maid’s quarters.

She also planted some things in the eastern flower trellis. Initially , she wanted to plant vegetables and fruits, but with a reminder from Madam Lt, she changed to flowers and greenery instead.

She had forgotten that noble daughters in ancient times also needed to socialize. If other officials’ daughters visited and saw a courtyard full of vegetables, they might not say anything to her face, but they would surely laugh behind her back.

Not only could her courtyard not grow vegetables, but even the old lady’s yard was not allowed.

For this, the old lady was so angry that she erupted, but in order not to smear her son’s face, she still suppressed her desire to work.

“Grandmother, don’t be angry. When I buy an estate, we can go there to plant,” Daohua consoled the old lady.

Upon hearing this, the old lady found the idea feasible and immediately called Madam Li to arrange that when viewing estates, she must help Daohua buy a small one.

Thus the matter of Daohua buying an estate was settled.

“Miss!”

Wang Manman, holding a flower pot in one hand, hurriedly ran into the courtyard from outside.

Daohua took the flower pot, “What’s wrong, you look in such a hurry?”

Wang Manman, eager to speak, “Miss, you should go to the main courtyard and see, the master has gone over there.”

Daohua was puzzled, “isn’t it normal for my father to go to the main courtyard? What, is there some trouble at Shuangxin Courtyard again?

Wang Manman immediately nodded, “I heard Sister Ping Xiao from the main courtyard say, Miss Yan Yishuang also wants her own separate courtyard. Aunt Lin has asked the master for permission, and since he went to the main courtyard today, it’s probably to discuss this matter.”

Hearing this, Daohua didn’t show much urgency, “Let them talk. Family matters are always managed by Mother, and even if Father has a soft spot for Shuangxin Courtyard, he still has to consider her views.”

Madam Li had always been fair and just in managing household affairs, and even Sun Family, known for being calculating and competitive, couldn’t deny her fairness over the years.

It is true that the courtyards in the backyard of the Prefectural Governor’s Office were more numerous than those at the County Governor’s Office, but there weren’t so many that every child of the Yan Family could have one to themselves.
