For the time being, the specific details of Xiao Nan's sister and brother's chat are not listed, now let's talk about the structure of Zixiu's mansion, he did not buy this mansion by himself, but after the battle of Yanyun, when he returned to Beijing to take office, the emperor's mansion was given by the official, from the county order of the county chief official of a county to the official assistant of the dynasty, there are official mansions, but this does not mean that all officials in the country have official houses.

The people who can allocate the house are usually the chief officials of the prefectures and counties, and some insignificant officials and deputy officials often do not have this treatment, and the officials in Kyoto are even more so.

But the emperor read that he had a meritorious service in transporting grain, and the new prince received the great grace of the Xiao family when he was young, for this reason, the emperor was particularly gracious to him, and gave him this house, which covers an area of about 2,000 square meters, with a total of one main courtyard, two partial courtyards, two main courtyards, four main rooms, and four wing rooms.

In addition to one main and two partial three courtyards, there is also a garden and a lotus pond of more than 100 square meters, this kind of scale and layout of the house, for ordinary people, is considered luxurious, but those in Kyoto who often have more than 100 servants and countless children and grandchildren are extremely shabby, not to mention, just the population of the big family, this house can not be placed.

Of course, the Xiao family is not a big family, except for his mother Lin, Zixiu only has him and Que Yin and his wife, and then asked Song Qiuyi to help find a housekeeper, and Zhao Zhen allocated another one to him. (One person follows Zixiu to deal with trivial matters, and the other person handles chores at home.) In addition to the newly bought servants, Liuyahuanwai, and two cooks who cook on the fire, the total population of the family is less than 20, which is more than enough for people to live in such a large house.

The only garden in the house is in the east of the house, close to the easternmost wing of the main courtyard, and this room is Zixiu's study, the study and the garden are separated by only more than ten meters, in the spring and summer season, open the window of the study, the fragrance of the flowers and the smell of grass in the garden are blowing in with the breeze, which can make people feel refreshed and happy, and the fatigue disappears.

It is a good time for spring to bloom in March, the pansy in the garden, daisies, and spring have all competed to bloom, there is a leafy golden cinnamon in the southwest corner of the garden, a radiant girl in green clothes slowly walked over from a distance, but saw her wearing a light green spring shirt, eyebrows such as Yuandai, skin like clotted fat, a cloud of hair blowing with the wind, when the graceful figure walked through the garden path, the spring flowers on both sides were reflected by her and lost color.

This beautiful girl is Jiang Tianqi, she stopped after walking under the golden laurel tree, after stopping, her eyes turned around, and finally fell to the direction where the study is located, the position she is standing in is very special, because the laurel tree branches and leaves are luxuriant, if the window or door on the side of the study is opened, the person standing under the tree can see the people inside at a glance, but the people inside, if they don't come out, or don't deliberately look in this direction, it is difficult to notice that there are people under the tree.

"What is Miss Jiang looking at?" When Jiang Tianqi was looking at the direction of the study, a low and mellow baritone sounded behind her, Jiang Tianqi was shocked, but her face was not obvious, she slowly turned around, looked up, and what greeted her was a face as warm as jade, this person was the letter king Zhao Zhi who she had just met not long ago.

"I've seen Your Highness." Seeing the appearance of the person who came, Jiang Tianqi quickly pressed the surprise in his heart, and Ying Ying saluted him.

"Don't be polite, this king is just passing by by accident, I have never liked a place where people talk a lot, I can't stay in the living room, so I came out for a walk, I didn't expect to just arrive at the garden, I saw the girl in a trance, disturbing the girl's purity, and I hope not to blame it." Zhao Zhi had a faint inquiry in his eyes, and quietly watched her speak.

"Don't dare, I've just been in the carriage for too long, when I got here, I sat in the house for a long time, and I felt a little stiff and uncomfortable, so I came out and walked around, I came out for a while, and then I didn't enter the house, I'm afraid that the elders would have to worry, Tianqi didn't disturb His Royal Highness Yaxing, and said goodbye." Jiang Tianqi's heart couldn't help jumping slightly under the gaze of his gaze, she subconsciously looked away, saluted him again, and prepared to leave.

Unexpectedly, her footsteps had just been raised, the door of the study opposite was opened, Xiao Nan, Zixiu and Zhao Zhen's sisters and brothers walked out of it together, Jiang Tianqi's footsteps were immediately retracted, if she left at this time, it seemed that she was avoiding a few people in the study, since it was no longer appropriate to go, it was better to go over and greet them, she was a young girl, and it was normal to see the spring flowers in the garden blooming, and it was normal to come out and take a look.

Their location is about fifty meters away from the study, with Xiao Nan's strong perception as soon as she goes out, she senses the gaze here, for this reason, as soon as she steps out of the study, her eyes look in this direction, Xiao Nan raised her eyes, Zixiu and Zhao Zhen also followed her to look up, and saw Jiang Tianqi and King Xin under the laurel tree, and the three of them flashed a touch of surprise on their faces at the same time.

Jiang Tianqi and Zhao Zhi saw that Xiao Nan and the three of them saw themselves, and the two of them almost raised their steps at the same time, and walked towards Xiao Nan, Zixiu and Zhao Zhen.

When they came to a distance of three or four steps away from Zhao Zhen, they stopped, and Zhao Zhi, the king of letters, took a step forward and saluted Zhao Zhen: "I have seen His Royal Highness the Prince." Although Zhao Zhen is older than Zhao Zhen, but now Zhao Zhen is the crown prince, and the two met, so naturally Zhao Zhi should come to see him.

"I'm traveling in casual clothes, and I'm outside, so the second emperor brother doesn't have to be polite." Zhao Zhen waved his hand and said.

"Tianqi has seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." After Zhao Zhi finished the salute and stepped aside, Jiang Tianqi came over to salute.

"Sister Tianqi, I haven't seen you for two years, and you are getting more and more smart." Zhao Zhen's gaze fell on Jiang Tianqi and he praised it.

"It's not, they all say that we have a lot of beauties in Bianjing, but in my opinion, it is really rare for our noble girls in the capital to be comparable to the little lady of the Jiang family." Zhao Zhi couldn't help but smile when he heard this, and when he spoke, his eyes unconsciously fell into Jiang Tianqi, and his eyes were full of appreciation and admiration.

"Yo, Second Emperor Brother, I've never seen you praise a girl so much, how did your mouth become so sweet today?" Zhao Zhen looked at his appearance, his eyes rolled slightly, and he couldn't help but smile and quip.

"I didn't boast before because I didn't see a beauty worth praising about, but now that I do, I naturally won't be stingy with a few words of praise." In the face of Zhao Zhen's jokes, Zhao Zhi was not only embarrassed, but looked honored.
