As early as on the way here, Xiao Pengju explained to Zong Zhengke that she was about to live in Changchun Courtyard. Xu immediately described the layout of Changchun Courtyard.

This large courtyard is four deep on the left and eight in the front and back, and all the houses add up to 266 rooms, which is enough for 300 people to live comfortably. All kinds of decorations and furnishings in the interior, not to mention the other courtyard of the Zongzheng family in Yuyan Mansion, even the Mansion of the Eldest Princess of Qinghe is slightly inferior to it. And Changchun Courtyard is not the largest and best courtyard in Shouchun Garden.

The flowers and trees in the courtyard are sparse, and the height is staggered. Even at night, there are many famous and exotic flowers in full bloom. There are also palace lamps of various precious materials hanging here, and the stars are dotted into a line, fighting with the stars. The candles lit in the palace lamp are not ordinary things, and with the burning can emit a faint fragrance, which has the effect of calming the mind and helping people to sleep.

Xiao Pengju arranged for Zong Zhengke to live here, considering that it was very close to Xifeihu Girls' School; Second, this is already the closest place to the North Garden Gate in the upper courtyard, which is convenient for Zong Zhengke and her servants to enter and exit the garden; The most important reason is that Changchun Courtyard is the residence of Zong Zhengke's mother Xiao Wenying, who also lived here when Zong Zhengke returned to Yunhang Province with his parents.

Zong Zhengke really didn't have much impression of Changchun Courtyard, and she was not picky about the place to live at all, so she had no opinion. She has always been at ease with what she encounters, high-rise buildings do not refuse, and thatched huts and huts can also be handled calmly.

But as soon as Xu's feet landed on the bluestone brick steps on the fifth floor in front of the gate of Changchun Courtyard, and he could see the shadowy scene in the wide open door, he really couldn't control his excitement and sadness, and covered his mouth and sobbed.

Xiao Quanzhong, who was also from the Xiao family, also reddened his eyes, he stayed in this courtyard for more than 20 years, until he became Xiao Wenying's companion and left. And his father, Xiao Fu, was the deacon of Changchun Courtyard back then, and his mother was also an important housekeeper in the inner courtyard. Now, he is the only one left in a family of three. How could he not be sad when he returned to his old land at this time?

Xiao Pengju was empathetic, and did not urge everyone to enter the courtyard immediately. Pei Junshao also got out of the carriage. Slowly climb the stairs and stand at the gate to observe the scene in the courtyard. His gaze suddenly tightened, his face changed slightly, and the corners of his lips tightened.

As far as the eye can see. In the brilliant light, a large shadow wall of white jade adds color to the slender. This shadow wall, the base is engraved with mountains and rivers, and the wall is engraved with a picture of nine phoenixes day by day. These nine phoenixes have wings that cover the sky and the sun. The feathers are colorful and are racing to chase a round of brilliant tomorrow.

The Nine Phoenix Chart is the most common pattern on the royal buildings and utensils of the Jokhang Empire. Pei Junshao knew that the two Xiao had different intentions, but they didn't expect that now they no longer hide this different heart.

- He remembered clearly that he had come to Shouchun Garden a few years ago, and the shadow wall he had seen was not like this. But I don't know if this is the only one that has changed, or if the shadow walls elsewhere have also been changed.

Xiao Pengju noticed the change in Pei Junshao's expression, and only raised his eyebrows at this. It is true that he and Pei Junshao are close friends. I also know that the other party has a lot of complaints about my family, but what about it? Human origin is the only fact in the world that cannot be changed. Really, it can't be fake; Falsehood can never become true.

After a while, Xiao Pengju looked at Zong Zhengke and said with a smile: "Sister Ke, the people in this courtyard are basically the old people who my aunt once called, and the chief steward of the inner and outer courtyards has been vacated. You arrange it yourself. If there is a subordinate you don't use it satisfactorily, or degrade or punish, you make your own decisions, and you only need to send Archdeacon Liu of the ward North Park afterwards. ”

Zong Zhengke nodded silently. said to Xiao Pengju: "Cousin, you should also go and settle it quickly." Aunt Xu and Uncle Quan Zhong are very familiar with this place, so they will naturally arrange a qiē for me. ”

Xu Shi went down and asked Zong Zhengke: "Girl, your living place should be in Ningchun Hall." Why don't you take the two of you to take a step forward and take a look? ”

Zong Zhengke shook his head. smiled: "Auntie, don't worry, everything must be in order." Let's go together. ”

"Thank you Sister Ke for believing in me, you can live comfortably." Xiao Peng smiled toothily, breathed a long sigh of relief, and said as if relaxed, "If I bring you here, my task will be more than half completed." Ming'er, I will go to tell my grandfather and grandmother that the two old men are looking forward to you coming from the stars and the moon, and they should meet you soon. But the old lady is there, I'm afraid I have to wait. Don't worry too much, even if your grandfather wants to see the old lady, he doesn't just wait. ”

Zong Zheng Ke said, "My cousin is too worried, I'll wait for my cousin's news." In addition, Aunt Fuji and Cousin Shino, if they are all settled, please also ask my cousin to hand me a letter. ”

Yan Zhuang and his wife and Xiao Chonghui, brothers and sisters, got off the boat and left as early as when the ship arrived at Yunhang Mansion. Even if Zong Zhengke didn't mention it, Xiao Pengju would go to inquire about the news, so he smiled and said, "Don't worry!" ”

In the end, Zong Zhengke said to Pei Junshao: "You are not in good health, so you can rest for a few days." ”

Pei Junshao smiled and nodded, and also advised: "You recuperate your spirit, if you have leisure in two days, I am willing to accompany you to go outside and take a look at the scenery here." ”

Of course, Zong Zhengke responded. At this time, Xiao Quanzhong had already beckoned people to come to several carriages. Xiao Pengju and Pei Junshao watched Zong Zhengke get into a carriage, and her servants also followed, and then they also went down the steps and left in the car.

The gate of Changchun Garden was closed for ten years, and it was only a few hours before it was closed again. But this time, it has a new owner. There seemed to be a lot of unusual smell in the air.

All the way to the inner courtyard, Zong Zhengke didn't care, and let the vehicle take him to a strange place. Xu also stabilized her mood, and when she saw her girl closing her eyes slightly, she didn't say anything, just thinking about her own thoughts-her Lao Tzu and her two brothers, and they didn't know what to do.

Back then, Xu suffered in her in-law's house, and her family once stood up for her. But she didn't want to be a drag on her family for a lifetime, so she insisted on going to Yuyan Mansion to take care of Zong Zhengke. Unexpectedly, her life was completely different from what she had imagined. What the girl wants to do, she has no power to put her beak. She only knows that the girl lives, she lives.

I don't know if my father and brother are doing well, have they gone further? Xu's initiative to take care of Zong Zhengke was a righteous servant's act and was appreciated by the masters. Her parents and family have benefited from this, and they have their own rewards that year. But ten years have passed, time has changed, and there has been no contact for a long time......

"Auntie, don't worry." Hearing this voice, Xu was slightly startled. Looking up, she saw the girl who seemed to be napping staring at her. (To be continued.) )
