Baili Nanqing immediately stood up and said happily:

"When I'm free, of course I'm free. Let's pack up and go take a look. Yue'er, why don't you just build your oven directly next to the new house? We'll be moving there anyway."

After they cleaned up the scene, Zhou Xiaoxi changed into a set of old clothes that were convenient for traveling. Although she didn't have to worry about food and clothing now, frugality had long been a habit for her, and she thought there was nothing wrong with it.

Shangguan Lan looked at it and said with great disapproval:

"Little sister, your clothes have turned white from washing. I feel uncomfortable looking at them. Although our family is not rich, you can still spend as you like. You must never treat yourself badly in the future."

Baili Nanqing also nodded in agreement.

"Good boy, if you don't have enough clothes, I'll buy you some more. Go and change into something nice."

Zhou Xiaoxi said with some laughter and tears:

"We are going to the wasteland, not to the city for shopping. It would be a shame if my new clothes got scratched!

Don't worry, mother. I have never wronged my temper. This dress may look old, but it is very comfortable and sturdy to wear. "

Shangguan Song saw that his younger sister was calm and composed and didn't care about her clothes at all, so he believed her words.

"Since my sister likes it, why should we force her? It's getting late now, let's go quickly."

When the old craftsman and the Feng Shui master saw the distinguished person coming out, they immediately bowed and saluted. They said respectfully:

"Greetings, Madam, Sir, and Miss. There are two places that we both agree on. One is in the direction of the medicinal field and the other is on the mountain. I wonder which one we should go to first?"

When Zhou Xiaoxi heard that there was a suitable place on the mountain, her eyes immediately lit up. She was fed up with noise pollution in her previous life, which made her particularly fond of quietness.

Ever since the tour fair began, it has become difficult to have a peaceful and quiet environment in the village, and she has been troubled by this for a long time.

So he said:

"If both places are good, I prefer the mountain because it's quiet. But if the hike takes too long, forget it. It's inconvenient to travel."

The old craftsman immediately replied:

“Don’t worry, young lady. It’s on a small hillside. The terrain is flat, the view is wide, there is a mountain spring flowing, and the scenery is extremely beautiful.

I also think that the place near the medicinal field is more suitable for building a village school. You may go there first and then go to the mountain."

In Zhou Xiaoxi's imagination, the village school would be best surrounded by flowers and trees, which would not only ensure privacy but also be conducive to cultivating students' sentiments.

Then the place near the medicinal field might be the most suitable. So the few of them walked towards the medicinal field.

Feeling sorry for the donkey Xiaohua who had no one to accompany her, Zhou Xiaoxi simply put Xiao Shitou on its back and went together holding the reins.

Little Stone, sitting on the donkey's back, smiled with his eyebrows curved and two rows of little white teeth showing. He looked cute and well-behaved.

Li Daniu was envious, but he was sensible enough not to fight with his brother for the donkey. Besides, Xiaohua was still too young, and Xiaoxi was reluctant to ride him. He was so heavy that he definitely couldn't ride.

Passing by a field of marigolds, it was obvious that this field was grown for seed preservation, as all you could see were furry little balls.

Zhou Xiaoxi tried his best to resist the urge to rush into the field and run quickly, he was itching to do so!

She only picked two and gave one to Little Stone.

"Look, little fairy boy, these seeds are the same as your hair!"

After saying that, he puffed up his mouth and blew hard at him. Small parachutes flew everywhere, and some even landed on the little guy's head. If you didn't look carefully, you couldn't see them.

The little guy giggled happily and blew the seeds towards Zhou Xiaoxi, following Zhou Xiaoxi's example.

Baili Nanqing actually felt the atmosphere of "deep mother-son love" from the two of them. She shook her head vigorously, secretly cursing herself for having wild thoughts.

Her daughter is only thirteen years old, what is she thinking about!

"Gentlemen, please look, this is it. It is in a remote part of the village, with mountains and forests behind it and an open area to the south. It contains a great sense of righteousness. The feng shui is excellent!"

The Feng Shui master spoke in a very cheerful tone, and it seemed that he was very satisfied with this place.

The old craftsman also nodded in agreement and echoed it again and again.

"Yuer, what do you think?" Baili Nanqing only cared about her daughter's opinion.

"Mother, I think it's great too. After the village school is built, plant more pear trees and other flowers and plants around it. Students will be more willing to study here."

"Yes, I have always felt that the structure of the Imperial College is too rigid. Every time I enter, I am overwhelmed by the sense of oppression.

If there is such an environment, I would also like to read more books." Shangguan Lan fully agrees with her younger sister's point of view.

Baili Nanqing couldn't help but slap his son.

"Don't make excuses here, kid. The scenery in the Imperial College is not bad at all. It was carefully designed by famous masters."

His own mother lectured him about never caring about the occasion, so Shangguan Lan had no choice but to admit defeat and shut up.

It took them another half an hour to reach the place they had chosen on the mountain. It was indeed a small hillside with a very flat terrain, and Donkey Xiaohua could easily climb up.

However, although it is a flat open space, compared to other places on the mountain, there are still many large rocks and bushes, as well as many trees as thick as thighs.

In this case, it would take a lot of effort just to level the ground. In short, if you want to build a large house with five entrances here, you really need to spend a huge amount of money!

When Zhou Xiaoxi mentioned his hesitation, Baili Nanqing smiled and said:

"Haha, Yue'er, you have to have confidence in your mother's financial resources. I'm not very good at managing the household, but the profits from running the family's farmland and shops over the years are still very good.

This small five-story house is really nothing to our family."

Well, if you have money, you can do whatever you want. Zhou Xiaoxi no longer had any worries.

So she immediately gave Shangguan Song a difficult question without any burden:

"Brother, I want windows made of colored glaze. Mother said it's hard to do. Can you think of a way?"

A pair of big eyes twinkled, full of anticipation.

Shangguan Song really couldn't say no.

So he spoke with some difficulty:

"Brother, I will definitely find a way to get it for you!"

Shangguan Lan looked at his elder brother with sympathy in his eyes. Tsk, his elder brother was willing to go through fire and water for his younger sister!

He had only seen colored glass used to make cups, and this was the first time he heard of it being used to make windows. His elder brother couldn't possibly study how to make windows himself, right?

As they walked to the foot of the mountain, they saw a familiar figure. Shangguan Song's eyes lit up when he saw the person coming, and he said happily:

"San, Changqing, why are you here?"

Baili Nanqing: She was so focused on her daughter that she forgot about this great god! Moreover, it seems that even her daughter doesn't know the other party's true identity...

After greeting each other, Xuanyuan Yan looked at Zhou Xiaoxi.

"Since Miss Xiaoxi is the legitimate daughter of the Shangguan family, does it mean that I don't need to teach her how to play the piano?"

"Didn't Master Yuan already send someone to buy a piano? Wouldn't it be a waste if I don't learn it?" Zhou Xiaoxi didn't understand what his identity had to do with learning the piano.

Baili Nanqing was extremely surprised. This, this is inappropriate, right?

She had no choice but to walk behind her daughter and whispered:

"Yuer, this is the current Third Prince. Aren't you too bold to ask him to teach you the piano?"

Zhou Xiaoxi: (⊙_⊙;)
