Xiao Yiran immediately opened the envelope, and when he saw the strong and powerful handwriting, and even a hint of tension, he knew that it was Zhu Di's handwriting. The letter was very short, but only a few lines, Xiao Yiran looked down:

Miss Yiran is like a meeting.

In August last year, I lived comfortably for a while, and I didn't want to rush for a while, and I thought about it. This letter, not for anything else, I think Cui Jian has sent his father's edict to Miss Yu along with the map of Beiping City. I also hope that Miss will work tirelessly to accompany Mr. Chutian to Beiping Mansion on a certain day. Cui Jian handles everything else, so there is no need for Miss to bother.

The payment is just a simple word "Zhu Di". Xiao Yiran finished reading it and handed it to Chu Tian next to him. I know in my heart that Zhu Di is so polite and so solemn, then it is imperative for Beiping Mansion. It's just that I just promised Zhu Hu to go to Suzhou Mansion on the 18th, and the date of going to Beiping Mansion can only be postponed. Seeing that Chu Tian had finished reading it, he opened his mouth and asked:

"Sir, do you think a month is enough time for a party from Suzhou Prefecture?"

"Enough."

"Then let's leave on the eighteenth of next month, shall we?"

"Just as I said."

Chu Tian also understood that Beiping Mansion was definitely going to go there.

After the two made up their minds, Xiao Yiran turned his head to look at Julian and said:

"Go back and tell Steward Cui, and say that the date is set for September 18."

Julian was convinced, and turned to take his leave.

Xiao Yiran, who returned to the living room, thought in his heart that he was actually not opposed to going to Beiping Mansion. Not only that, but there is even some craving. After all, it was the Yanshan Mansion of the Northern Song Dynasty, and I had lived for a few years, and I really wanted to see what had changed after 400 years. The only concern is that in the first life of the university, I remember the pattern of Beiping's urban construction very clearly, and I also know that Beiping Mansion will become the capital of the Ming Dynasty in a few years, and since then, the pattern of Beiping has hardly changed significantly. So if you go, you must plan the Yanwang Mansion according to the way you remember, so won't you be famous again?

suddenly remembered what the Yuan Shen said when he went to the Xuannu Niangniang Temple in Huashan that night:

"Since you have been trained in the red dust, how can there be no twists and turns?"

Therefore, Xiao Yiran couldn't help but be a little worried, the twists and turns that Xuannu Niangniang said would not be because she designed the Yanwang Mansion in Beiping Mansion, which led to excessive limelight and caused a turmoil, right?

"What are your concerns?"

Chu Tian saw that Xiao Yiran was in a daze, so he asked with concern.

"Yes, sir. This trip to Peking is different from going to Suzhou. If it is done hastily, I am afraid that King Yan will not be satisfied. If King Yan is satisfied, Yiran may be famous again. I'm afraid it's not a good thing. ”

When Chu Tian heard Xiao Yiran say this, he couldn't help but be stunned, he really couldn't understand what the fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl in front of him thought, how could she be afraid of becoming famous?

"But why worry about being famous?"

Xiao Yiran didn't explain anything, and he didn't know how to explain it, but he secretly said in his heart, of course, he was afraid of becoming famous, and he originally built Yiran Residence to hide from Qingjing. But I didn't expect it to backfire, if I had known that this was the case, it would have been better to buy a random house in the city to live in.

Time flies quickly, after the Mid-Autumn Festival in a blink of an eye, on August 18, Zhu Hu came to Yiranju early in the morning, picked up Xiao Yiran, Chu Tian, and Liu Xia, and of course, the girl Qingwen and Musk Yue, and headed towards Suzhou Mansion. From Yingtianfu to Suzhou Mansion, it is only three days away, which is a crisp autumn day, and there is no crime along the way.

After coming to Suzhou Mansion, I learned that Wu Wangfu had already issued a scale. It is a large mansion covering an area of hundreds of acres, and looking at the situation of the house, it seems to have a history of decades, or even hundreds of years.

"This was once the residence of a prince of the Yuan Dynasty, and although it was warped, it was well preserved. This king also chose the palace here. Two of you to see if you can? ”

After settling down, Zhu Hu led Xiao Yiran and Chu Tian around the house. Liu Xia naturally followed behind, which was very helpful to her studies. After introducing them one by one, Zhu Hu no longer bothered Xiao Yiran and Chu Tian, leaving the two to continue to discuss.

"What do you think, sir?"

"The big picture is okay, but some parts are not big and reasonable. Xia'er, have you noticed? ”

Chu Tian turned around and asked Liu Xia behind him.

"Sir, why is this mansion not built into a square pattern, but a pattern that is wide in the south and narrow in the north, and narrow in the east and west?"

"Xia'er is right. That's where the problem lies. The south is wide and the north is narrow, giving people a sense of being top-heavy, and it is not conducive to the gathering of Tibetan wind. The east and west are long and narrow, so that the houses in the mansion are like facing the street, although they want to be clean, they are noisy and disturbing. ”

Xiao Yiran didn't understand this, Yiranju's fame was just a coincidence, so he didn't interject, just listened to the conversation between Chutian and his apprentice. Chu Tian also wanted to take this opportunity to teach Liu Xia some knowledge in this area.

It wasn't until ten days later, when Chutian was about to draw a blueprint, that Xiao Yiran said:

"Sir, Suzhou Garden Mansions mostly adopt a symmetrical pattern of four flats and eight stables. From the overall pattern, Wu Wangfu can follow this principle. But for the details, can it be arranged separately? ”

"Please speak."

"Such as rockeries, lakes and rocks, bamboo forests, flower beds, shadow walls, etc., do not pay attention to symmetry, but try to conform to the terrain, is this more in line with the way of nature?"

"Ran'er really has another hill and valley in her heart, and this building is very good."

By the tenth day of the ninth month, when Chu Tian presented the blueprint in front of Zhu Hu, Zhu Hu's eyes lit up, and after reading it carefully, he said to Chu Tian and Xiao Yiran:

"Sure enough, I didn't disappoint this king, and it was very much in line with my king's wishes."

It took 26 days to come and go to Suzhou Mansion, and when I returned to Yiranju, it was already the afternoon of September 14. As soon as he sat down in the living room, Julian arrived.

"Miss, old gentleman, Steward Cui has already let the villain come three times."

Because he considered that he would definitely not miss the day of departure on September 18, Xiao Yiran did not inform Cui Jian of the matter of going to Suzhou Mansion. No, Cui Jian sent Julian over since the tenth day of September, wanting to ask the two of them if they had any other ideas, or which road to choose along the way, and if there was a place to stay. It's just that Julian came once on the tenth day and again on the twelve, and they all came empty.

"There's nothing else, it's better to ask Steward Cui to decide which way to take. Early in the morning of the 18th, we were waiting for the carriage of the palace. A total of five people, two carriages are required. ”

After Chu Tian explained, Julian turned around and went back to report to the housekeeper Cui Jian.

Because of the consideration of going north to Beiping Mansion, it is impossible to come back in a short time like going to Suzhou Mansion. Xiao Yiran sent someone to call Sun Cong.

"Sun Gongzi, Mr. Chu and I are going to Beiping, and Yiranju has never invited a housekeeper, so after we leave, we have to trouble Sun Gongzi to come over to take care of one or two from time to time."

"Miss, just rest assured."
