When Xiao Lu saw the twelve-year-old Yuan Yi, his mood couldn't help but be a little obscure. He only saw a few times when Yuan Yi was born, and then he devoted himself to rescuing his daughter who had a bloody birth, even when he was recalled to Beijing for detoxification, because Yuan Yi was fine, he didn't want to enter the palace and had no chance to meet.

Yuan Yi is the one who looks the most like Sejong Yuan Mian among all the princes, and now it is becoming more and more obvious, and only a little shadow of Xiao Tong or the Xiao family can be seen. If it was in the past, Xiao Luding took the pain and resentment of the loss of his daughter to him, but there was a well-behaved and sensible Gu Ci who looked a little like his daughter, he had already accepted the reality and was much calmer.

As soon as they met, the two politely chatted politely, without a trace of intimacy between grandparents and grandchildren.

Xiao Lu didn't let his grandson call him 'grandfather', only let him call him 'master' with everyone. Or next to Gu Ci was full of worry and coquettishly biting his ear, begging him to check his pulse, and the two began to show signs of breaking the ice.

Xiao Lu is open-minded and uninhibited by nature, although he still has a problem with his grandson's father, he can't be annoyed when he looks at Zhilan Yushu's grandson. Yuan Yi is also full of admiration, studious and diligent, thoughtful, and has the style of a gentleman between actions, which is very in line with Xiao Lu's temper. Even the new dish 'chrysanthemum mandarin fish' and watermelon juice on the table, they all have a love of eating together. But during a meal, the relationship between the two became much closer.

After the meal, Gu Cigong retired and was sent to the small couch of Zhuxin Pavilion to take a nap, and the grandparents and grandchildren walked to the highest listening platform in the garden to sit opposite each other and taste tea. The surrounding flowers and trees are lush, the scenery is picturesque, and you can see at a glance whether there are idlers peeping.

"Did you come today as the queen mother or the emperor as you meant?"

"It's my grandson who wants to come."

"I want to get the Fifth Rate Mansion when I am twelve, but I don't think I'm too anxious?"

"The grandson is not in a hurry, but the queen mother is old...... If the grandson can come out and walk around, the father and the emperor will presumably let go and let the royal brothers open their teeth and build a mansion. ”

Xiao Lu sighed, "That's fine." Although I have no intention of being a 'Taifu', I can teach you. As for how to return to the emperor, you can do it. ”

"Thank you, Master!"

"Call me 'Master' like Ah Luan."

"Yes, Master."

"In a blink of an eye, you are so old, and the Queen Mother taught you very well. I've been negligent to you for so many years, and I don't know if she will blame me when I see your mother in the future. Xiao Lu said infinitely sadly.

"My mother must have hoped that Master would live a leisurely life like this. I also know that Master will look at me and the Queen Mother every month, and now that I have the opportunity to be filial to you, I hope you will take care of your health. ”

"Just probe your pulse, a little overthinking, liver qi stagnation, pay more attention to sleep. However, there is no sign of poisoning, and it seems that he escaped death three years ago. ”

"Master, would you like to hear your grandson talk about the events of the year in detail?"

Xiao Lu was silent for a long time before he spoke up, "It's just those few people, don't listen to it." ”

Yuan Yi wanted to speak and stopped, and when he missed his eyes, he saw Gu Ci changing into a blue water-colored half-sleeve and a duck egg green silk gauze skirt and climbing towards the rockery where the pavilion was located.

Although it is a rockery, in order to highlight the 'wild interest', it is piled up with strange rocks and heavy mountains, the cave valley is full of hidden vines and roses, the stone steps of mountaineering are staggered and uneven, and the moss marks and grass are all over.

The little lump of meat is really crawling.

She struggled to lift her legs and stride, some steps that were too high almost to be used with her hands and feet, and the maid behind her tried to hug her several times but was refused, so she had to stretch out her arms to protect her.

Yuan Yi got up to go over, but was stopped by Xiao Lu, "It's okay, it's good for her body to move around more." ”

"Look at the distressed ......"

Xiao Lu's face had already cleared and the fog had dispersed, and he smiled heartily, "Don't underestimate my granddaughter, the huge Tiemei Temple can run down, not to mention this small garden." ”

Waiting for Gu Ci to rush into the pavilion with a bright smile on his face, he was hugged by Yuan Yi to wipe his sweat and feed him before he could salute.

How do you take a nap and feel that the little handsome guy is more warm?

"Master, Brother Yuan, use some bamboo heart tea, and the lychees brought by Brother Yuan." The maids laid out a few plates of peeled and decorated lychees and three green and cool teas on the table.

Bamboo heart tea is a line of curls at the top of each bamboo leaf on the bamboo, slightly boiled with a few rock sugars, purifying the heart and removing troubles, quenching thirst, surging through the well water, refreshing and sweet, especially suitable for drinking in cool summer. Since Gu Cisu came out with this tea, everyone in the house can drink a bowl at noon every day, and there are few people who suffer from heat stroke.

"Did you sleep well at noon?"

"Okay, it's so quiet in the house, and the sound of bamboo is so good."

Because Xiao Lu doesn't like to make noise, there are very few servant women in Zhuxin Pavilion, and usually Gu Ci is afraid of disturbing his painting, and he doesn't rest in his room, so he goes to take a nap with Gu Yi.

"In the future, Brother Yuan will often come over to study, if I am busy, let him read your homework."

"Huh? Can the brothers also come with Brother Yuan? "The prince has come to study with the master, can those brothers not have to go to the palace every day to study?

"Nope." Yuan Yi slapped her with a smile. "Let your brothers go to the palace to study, but the emperor's golden words."

Xiao Lu said to Yuan Yi again, "You go back and prepare." I only teach history, and I can come for a few days every ten days to see the arrangements of the Queen Mother and the Emperor. ”

"Yes, Master."

"Brother Yuan will stay at home?"

Xiao Lu pondered for a while and said, "Just clean up a place for a lunch break." I still have to deal with some chores, Ah Luan, you accompany Brother Yuan to go shopping. Then he got up and left.

"Master Xu remembered his paintings again. Brother Yuan, let's go and see the garden, you can pick a land. Gu Ci consciously greeted guests with a sense of ownership, but Yuan Yi was always happy with her little adult-like appearance, pinching and pinching, kissing and biting, just not moving the nest.

"What if I don't want to live in a garden?"

"Then go to the brothers' east courtyard and have a look?"

"What if I like your house?"

“…… Let your mother dress you up like that! ”

"Why, you won't let me live in your house?"

"The stinky men who want to live in the girl's boudoir are all disciples!"

“…… Who taught you?! ”

"Mother's ......"

***********************

In the end, Yuan Yi still chose the Mandiwu on the island in the middle of the lake as a resting place, because there is only a small bamboo bridge on the island leading to the direction of the Tubi Pavilion, if you don't want to detour, you can only use a boat to get to the island from other places.

The dock is planted with green bamboo, green sycamore, green pine and green cypress, the cover of the green pavilion in the middle of the sky round place, hugging the building on all sides, forming the polygonal pavilion of the shape of 'ten', red brick and red tile, delicate and beautiful, very suitable for his mind.
