I looked at the gap and asked Jiang Xie, we all came out, are Baoyu and Daiyu used to living in his house? Jiang Xie smiled and said that it was not in the way, it turned out that he had also invited these two people, but one was not well yet, and the other was preoccupied, so they couldn't come. There is an elderly steward surnamed Zhu in his family, who is very accessible, and he expects that Baoyu Daiyu will not be bad.

Although I was a little relieved, I also knew that they would definitely not come with us, not to mention, Daiyu's health was indeed not good.

The sun at the beginning of summer is blazing bright but not scorching, sitting in the car because of the good ventilation does not feel stuffy and hot, I pinched a handful of melon seeds and did not eat, the palms of my hands were slightly sweaty, but the color of the fried melon seeds stained black. I took a handkerchief and wiped my hands, and the car turned onto the mountain road.

At this time, the plants and trees are growing vigorously, a deep and shallow mixture, green mountains, blue trees, green grass, unknown wildflowers are blooming, birds are singing, insects are chirping, horses' hooves are ringing, and the wheels are rolling. The body is hot in the sun, and people are more and more relaxed and relaxed, only feeling that they have no strength at all, and they just want to sleep under the sun beautifully.

When the road is not too difficult to climb the mountain, after this mountain, you can see an endless green field in the distance, and the broad and cheerful vision suddenly makes the people who feel depressed after walking through the woods for a long time can't help but let out a cheer.

Sister Qiao leaned on the window of the car and looked out: "Mother, there are horses under the mountain...... A lot!"

I have never seen so many horses, black horses like clouds sweeping across the plain pasture, there are shepherds on horseback with whips to reprimand and drive, although it is still far away, but the faint vibration of the horses' hooves on the ground can be felt here, it is a feeling that makes people's hearts beat faster.

"This is the ranch?"

I asked softly, not expecting anyone to answer, but as soon as a horse came from behind the carriage, it was Shen Tian. He was wearing a dark color power suit, with leggings and leggings, and he didn't look very capable. He raised his hand, and the horsewhip pointed to the bottom of the mountain: "Over there is our Zhuangzi, and the land behind this mountain is full of pastures." He paused, and lowered his voice: "There is still a hot spring soup bath in the village, I will accompany you to try it when you come back, and it is also good for people to soak in hot springs." ”

Although his voice was small, others couldn't hear it, and how could Ping'er, who was sitting in the same car, not hear it. I pursed my lips, there was no interface. He smiled knowingly, his eyes were gentle and soft for a moment, and then he changed into a solemn face, urging the horse forward.

I turned around, Ping'er looked casual, hugged Sister Qiao and pointed to the house in the distance, and whispered to her, as if she didn't notice what Shen Tian was talking to me just now.

There was some heat on my own face, and it took a while for it to go away.

As the saying goes, looking at the mountain and running a dead horse, because the bottom is open, and there is no obstacle to look at the past at a glance, which is clear from the mountain to see the scenery below, but to run closer, it is almost dark. The farms of the pasture were built very large, with high walls, and deep ditches dug outside, which seemed to be not just for fire prevention. The gate was tall and thick, black and indistinguishable of wood, and covered with iron sheets and brass nails. In the far away cave open gate, there were two rows of servants standing neatly, all holding their breath and standing solemnly, the carriage stopped, Shen Tian helped me get off the horse, I naturally raised my hand to straighten the collar for him, and helped the sideburns bead hairpin, stroked the hem of the robe, slightly behind Shen Tian half a step, and walked towards the village together.

It is said to be a Zhuangzi, but in fact it looks more like a small town, and it is a town with a strong military connotation. Plus the ranch outside......

However, this is at the border pass, which is different from the Central Plains, and of course it cannot be inferred from the usual practices in the capital.

Those who stood solemnly to greet them did not look like ordinary Zhuang Ding domestic servants, and they looked like the most standard soldiers. One of the people led those people to bow down: "Say hello to the prince! Say hello to the princess!"

The feeling of being a human being......

It's not that I don't have an experience in Jiafu, but Jiafu is a bloated and huge old family, and Sister Feng is not the one who stands at the top of power, this kind of absolute sense of authority has really not been so deeply experienced.

"Excuse me. Shen Tian nodded, and the guards on one side took his horsewhip: "You have worked hard for so much half a year." He introduced me and said, "This is the steward of the ranch, surnamed Sun." ”

"The villain Sun Xiangui, I have seen the princess, and I greet the princess. ”

"Steward Sun doesn't have to be polite. I said, "We're going to live here these days, and we're going to have to work hard for you, so we're going to have to worry a lot about everything." ”

"The prince and the princess just have to rest assured ......"

I didn't pay attention to what he was saying below, and my eyes were on the deep village. The twilight was thick, the sun had already set, and the doors were opening one after another, and this manor, which looked like a small town, really couldn't see how big it was at this time.

My eyes were slightly raised, the walls of this Zhuangzi were built widely, and there could be people patrolling the walls.

Shen Tian said: "You must be tired after a day's journey, take Qiao'er and them in to settle down first, the women of Sun Xiangui's family are also very capable, let her talk to you." ”

As soon as I saw Steward Sun's expression, I knew that he must have a lot of things to ask for instructions, so I couldn't participate in these things, so I nodded to him. A woman came over on the side, knelt down first, and she was naturally Sun Xiangui's daughter-in-law. In his thirties, his skin is a little dull, but his eyebrows are very pleasing to the eye, and he has a shrewd appearance. She beckoned to let the soft sedan chair come over, I took Sister Qiao on the sedan chair, Ping'er and a few other girls followed the sedan chair, through several courtyards before getting off the sedan chair, I already heard the sound of water, the sedan curtain opened, and sure enough, I saw a clear water light first.

This courtyard reminds me that there seems to be a Ziling Island in the Grand View Garden, which is also built by the water, and it is refreshing to live in summer, which is refreshing and pleasant.
