Chapter 266 - 265: Two Petty Officials
The guest room was still set up as it had been during Zhou Bingyi’s last visit. When Jinrong, Qi Younian, and the others entered, Wong Qiao and two clerks were engrossed in their work. Upon seeing Jinrong and Jiang Yifan come in, the three of them quickly set aside their writing materials and came forward to pay their respects.
What pleased Jinrong was that Ye Xinyan wasn’t working with the three of them.
Jinrong waved his hand and went over to look at each person’s documents and drawings on their desks. Then he nodded his head, hmm, not bad, quite profound indeed—he could hardly understand them.
He then turned towards the diagrams of the courtyard on the wall. This time, in addition to the exterior diagrams of the courtyard, there was also a progress indicator for the courtyard construction documents. He could understand this much better.
Jinrong asked Wong Qiao, "Lord Zhou was interested in these two diagrams last time?"
Wong Qiao answered, "Yes, Lord Zhou has a particular interest in courtyard architecture and seems to have noticed quite a few garden courtyards. He has very insightful views on the arrangement of various courtyard sceneries."
Behind them, Jiang Yifan asked Qi Younian, "I heard just now that when Lord Zhou came over to pick up Miss Zhou, he spent quite a while looking at these again?"
Qi Younian smiled and said, "Lord Zhou really likes courtyard architecture. Every time he sees these two diagrams, he stops to observe and critique them. I, the old fellow, can’t answer those, so Ah Qiao always entertains him."
