On the second day after returning home, Brother Jiu and Hajlan began to look at where they would live in the future. ◢ Sui ◢ Dream ◢ Xiao ◢ said Щщш.suimeng.lā I heard Brother Jiu say that this house was largely rebuilt according to the drawings, and many of them followed the pattern of the original old house, and even many places were retained, only slightly renovated. The most rare thing is that there are many old trees, mainly pines and cypresses, and some peach and plum locusts, so compared to other newly built houses, this place can be called green trees, but it saves years of hard work.

The three large courtyards on the middle road, the front yard is used for meeting guests and directors, the west chamber is used for entertaining guests, the east chamber is the outer study, all three rooms are opened, bright and broad, only with a round mask and a little interval of Duobaoge, a few large cases, many calligraphy and painting scrolls, there is a small patio behind the house, a deep well and a ditch, which is specially used for water and drainage in the outer study.

The next main courtyard is where Hajlan lives, in addition to the three main houses and the two ear rooms where Yahuan lives, the east wing is the inner study used by Hajlan, and the utility room is the toilet. The big house in the west wing is empty, and the furniture and supplies are complete, and the more special thing is that there are two kangs. It may have been a place for the ladies to be served, but it was empty now. Next to it, there is a stove, which is the kitchenette.

The third courtyard is an open space, and several large rooms are used to store large pieces of furniture, tables, chairs, screens, etc., which can also be changed during the change of seasons. There are also royal gifts in the main house.

There are four small courtyards in the east and west, except for the first courtyard in the west, where the two gentlemen live, and there are guards' rooms, the second courtyard in the west is also a place to store things in the house, but it is the things that Hajlan dows, and some porcelain decorations and the like. There is a special person to guard this place, so that no one will take the sheep by the hand.

When Hajlan saw this, he planned to pack up the things in the dowry plot when he was free. and all the valuables shall be put into the main courtyard. Brother Jiu was very much in favor, and was particularly interested in the few calligraphy and paintings she brought, and wanted to take them out immediately. Hajilan glanced at him, and couldn't imagine that Brother Jiu was still very elegant, so Hajilan instructed Jing'er to send these calligraphy and paintings to the inner study first.

The two courtyards on the east side, except for the east courtyard, which is a guest room, the east courtyard is empty, and at the moment it is only equipped with beds and furniture.

The front house is almost so big, and after the three courtyards, a small courtyard between the two rows of back houses leads to the back garden. Unlike other gardens, which also have gate archways, this is a garden through the Moon Cave Gate, and only two rooms on the side can be used as a place for night.

As soon as you enter the garden, you will see a small lake in the shape of a horizontal olive. The Nine Elder Brothers took Hajran's hand and walked to the right, and everywhere he saw was verdant, but it was a pine and cypress, and the eaves of the pavilion and the roofs of the houses were faintly exposed in the forest. The lake is not deep, and there is a gentle slope on the shore, and the ground is covered with half-yellow grass. Two tall locust trees, to say the least for hundreds of years, are erected on the meadow by the lake. Hajlan walked over, stepped on the grass, felt soft and comfortable, and said with a smile: "When the weather is warm, you can go under the tree, lay out a few mats, read books and chat next to each other, and fly kites." I've asked someone to buy a few good ones, wait for the wind to come together, let's put them, do you say okay? ”

Hajlan didn't expect Brother Jiu to be like this, his heart was sweet, and when he saw a house in the distance, he walked happily over there, and Brother Jiu followed with a smile.

There was a small stream in front of it, only three feet wide, but there was a small stone bridge, and when you stepped on the bridge deck, you could see finger-sized fish swimming around. Hajran smiled: "Do you want to build a bridge here? Put a stone in the middle of the water and you can easily walk through it. The bridge looks like a toy. ”

Brother Jiu said: "Originally, I thought so, but I heard that in the summer, the water level was high, and the stone was flooded, and the people who passed by blamed the wolf, so I had to ask someone to build this bridge." If you want to play, ask someone to put two rocks over you. When the time comes, love to go whichever to go. Hajlan couldn't help but smile dumbly, and walked to the front room.

The room was quite large, and there were two rooms next to each other on the left, each of which seemed smaller than the other. The largest room has six doors open, and there is a plaque hanging on the door, on which the words "Jinghexuan" are written. The layout of the house is like a combination of a living room and a study. There are arhat beds and kang tables, bookshelves and bookcases, a large case, three or four porcelain jars on the ground around, two of which still contain a lot of scrolls, and two stoves in the corners.

Brother Jiu said: "What do you think of here? I specially asked people to clean up, and when we got tired of living in front, we moved here, and we could do whatever we wanted, but it was better than living in front and just looking at those trees. Hajlan looked around and liked it, but he still had some questions: "Where do you sleep?" Do you sleep in an Arhat bed? It's okay in normal times, but it's cold in winter, right? ”

Brother Jiu smiled and pulled her to turn left, bypassing the blue gauze cupboard, but it was a smaller room. It turns out that these three rooms are connected. There is a big kang in this room, and there are small cabinets and small boxes next to it. Spread a thick mattress, it looks warm.

Brother Nine dragged her to the left, but after passing through a small door, she came to a smaller room. It's different from the one in the field. There is a Huanghuali moon cave door cover shelf bed, hung with hibiscus light gauze tent, spread with bamboo mats, and the surrounding utensils are mostly made of bamboo and wood. Even the windows are bigger and bigger. When a gust of wind blows, it makes people feel extremely cold.

Brother Jiu said: "This is the summer residence, the only one is the conservatory, and this is the cool room, we will change the residence according to the weather, how about it?" ”

Hajila couldn't help but laugh: "Good is good." I've never heard of this. ”

Brother Jiu didn't care: "Then let's start with the master." There are many places in this garden where people can live, we can live wherever we like, change places when we are bored, and change our mood from time to time. ”

Hajlan smiled and followed him out of the verandah outside the house, and saw that many lotus flowers were planted on the lake in front of him, but they were all withered at this time. Nine Ago's took Hajlan and walked along the verandah. This verandah has a whitewashed wall on one side, and there are windows of various shapes on the wall, some of which are plum blossom-shaped and some are diamond-shaped. There are pentagonal ones and there are round squares. Through the carved panes, you can see the trees planted in the back. Realizing that there were peach and plum trees in it, Hajlan smiled and said, "It's good that we will be able to eat the fruit of the garden next summer." Brother Jiu smiled: "You can still see tweed in spring." ”

At the end of the corridor is a water pavilion, with a study and living room on the first floor and a bedroom on the second floor. What is more special is that there is also an identical attic on the opposite side of the lake, facing this one by two. There is a vacant lot in front of the pavilion, planted with many willow trees, a small arch bridge, connecting a small square pavilion, the pavilion side, the curved ruler bridge leads to the front of the Pan Tower. To the west of the pavilion, there is another house, and further west under the verandah, there is a sluice gate that leads in the water of the pond. There is also a small boat next to the museum, which can accommodate two people, but if you want to play, you can only play on the side of the bridge.

Hajlan asked why, and Brother Jiu said, "The arch bridge is too small, and if you want to cross under the bridge, you have to bend down very low, and besides, the water is shallow over there, and the ship will sink any further, so if you want to play, you can play here." ”

Hajlan nodded, and walked up to the bridge, and there were many willow trees planted at the end of the bridge, and Hajran noticed that there were some dwarf flowers and trees here, and now there were only a few broken flowers left, and the others were thanks. Further to the northwest, it is very different from the place where we have passed before, there are many bamboos planted, and there is not a single other tree. The forest also built a room with bamboo, and the tables, chairs, several beds, screens, bookshelves, and cups and plates were all made of bamboo. Although it doesn't suit the current season, it's a great place to cool off in the summer.

They walked slowly back to the garden gate, admiring the lake and flowers all the way, Hajilan only felt relaxed and happy, and Brother Jiu asked softly: "Lan'er, what do you think of this garden?" How's it going at home? Do you like it? ”

Hajran smiled and whispered, "I like it very much, everywhere."
