On the sixth day of the first month of August, Yu Shu's big house on Baochang Street officially hung a door plaque and opened the door to welcome customers, which marked that she, the female master who had recently turned purple, had finally set up her own door from a female operator to a female imperial official to a Miao Ling female envoy.

In fact, before hanging the door, Yu Shu hesitated about what words should be inscribed on the plaque, whether it was popular to base herself on her surname, or to take an elegant and pleasant house name similar to the fashion, such as the Dingbo Pavilion of King Xiang or something, but after referring to Xue Rui's opinion, she still honestly took the word "Yufu", and she dragged Xue Rui to write the pen, and she didn't bother to ask for any famous Mobao.

On the day of hanging the door, it is indispensable to light firecrackers and burn incense to worship the door god, crackling and making a lot of noise, there are many people on the street to see the lively, the water around the gate is blocked, all see the offering table on the doorstep, the table is full of tributes and incense candles, a young man wearing a bright green robe and big sleeves faces north, his back is facing everyone, and he is holding three incense sticks and kowtowing to worship.

There was a lot of discussion in the crowd, and passers-by muttered inexplicably: "How old do you have to be the head of the household, and I really don't know which family is used to buying such a big house." ”

When the person next to him heard this, he laughed twice, and someone with a quick mouth patted him on the shoulder and said: "Don't talk nonsense about this brother, the master who is burning incense is not something you can arrange casually, has the Miao Ling envoy who was sealed by the emperor himself heard of it, don't look at the age, he is a disciple of the immortal family, who can call the wind and rain, and scatter beans into soldiers!" ”

The man was surprised: "Isn't the Miao Spirit Envoy a woman? It's-"

Looking at the incense burner in front of the door, he saw that the other party's body was more slender than that of a man. Indeed, it is a woman

Yu Shu unveiled the red in front of the door, and confessed that Zhou Hu took a few people to send happy cakes to the lively neighborhood at the door, and the fist-sized cakes were filled with two kinds of fillings, bean paste and peanuts, and two large baskets were filled.

He didn't plan to invite outsiders on the day of hanging the door, Yu Shu only sent someone to Shangshu Mansion to squeak, and on this day, Xue Rui still came.

The front is lively, and the door is open and noisy. The ladies all stayed in the backyard and didn't come out. Instead, He Fangzhi and Pei Jing stayed in the front living room to accompany and talk to Xue Rui.

Yu Shu is now a five-grade official, no worse than Xue Rui in grade, and he is the eldest prince of the Prime Minister's Mansion who is sitting in front of He Fangzhi, a folk langzhong, and Pei Jing, a businessman. It's not too restrictive. In addition, Xue Rui deliberately lowered his posture. Claiming to be a junior, the three of them have something to talk about.

"When I first met Xiaoyu, I thought she was a capable person. Later, I knew that she was a girl's family, and it was a pity more than once, who knew that she was fighting for luck, and now she has a fame, and the official has done it, and even my uncle has entrusted her with her blessings, and it has been more and more smooth sailing recently. ”

As soon as Pei Jing mentioned Yu Shu, he felt honored, and he did not hesitate to praise his niece in front of He Fangzhi and Xue Rui.

He did get rid of Bi Qing because of Yu Shu and replaced him as the head of the Taiheng Chamber of Commerce, and because Yu Shu provided a unique crystal business, he made a lot of money, not to mention, he gained a firm foothold in the Beijing Chamber of Commerce overnight, and he was the head of the Tongji Chamber of Commerce, which is known as the first Tongji Chamber of Commerce in the capital, and he also wanted to call him Mr. Pei with a smile.

Xue Rui smiled when he heard this, and turned his head to look at the figure who was walking from the direction of the gate, feeling related.

Seeing that Yu Shu was coming, He Fangzhi left her to entertain Xue Rui, and led her eldest brother to the back to see her son.

After Yu Shu's mansion was completed, Xue Rui was the first time to return home, and the two were busy, and they hadn't seen each other for some days, and the first thing she did was to take him to the garden.

"It took a lot of work to make two gardens together, and make them look like I wanted, and it took half a month for this, otherwise I would have moved over, and I wanted to invite you to come over and have a look last month, but I can't find you, go, this will take you to visit the scenery."

Xue Rui listened to her boasting, as if her garden was no worse than the Dingbo Pavilion given to the King of Xiang by the emperor, and secretly laughed at her for exaggerating and didn't say it.

As soon as he stepped into the garden, he didn't feel anything unusual, but the air seemed to be exceptionally fresh, but he followed her around the garden for half a circle, until there was a clear sound in his ears, and he turned his head to see a pair of cranes with red crowns and white feathers standing on the edge of the small river pond not far away to feed, and finally couldn't help but show surprise:

"How can you keep something like this?"

The crane is a mascot, not to mention that this thing is not easy to get, many powerful and rich people in Kyoto have tried to keep them in captivity, but once the summer is over, the bird should migrate for the winter, if it is locked in a cage, it will not eat or drink until it starves to death, if it is let out and walk around, it will fly away if you are not careful.

But Yu Shu and the pair of birds rested outside, letting them walk around, their feathers were smooth, and they looked in good spirits.

Yu Shu looked at him suspiciously: "Why can't you raise it, although this pair of white cranes is more expensive, it is quite docile." ”

Xue Rui's face was strange when he heard this, "You just let them go outside?" Don't put it in a cage at night? ”

"What do you do lock up, and they don't fly."

Xue Rui asked two questions, only to know that she said that her bird had never been locked up since she was put into the garden half a month ago, and as long as the keeper put fresh fish and shrimp into the small river pond on time every day, they would only walk around in the garden, occasionally fly over the house, and come back to eat when they arrived, and they would not go far at all.

Xue Rui was surprised in his heart, and saw Yu Shu's expression, "This bird is very easy to raise, what's so strange", and when the words came to his mouth, he choked back again.

Then he paid attention to the arrangement in the garden, I don't know if it was psychological, I always felt that the trees in her garden were too green, the flowers were too blooming, and they were fresh everywhere, and it was clear that it was autumn, but there was no sign of withering, and it felt as if, as if there was a courtyard wall, no matter whether it was winter or summer outside, it was spring when you entered this garden.

Thinking of this, Xue Rui couldn't help but smile, and then looked at Yu Shu, who was walking in front of him and showing him the way, and said in his heart that he was thinking too much, how could there be such a magical place.

"Tell you, this garden is at the mercy of my master's Qimen formation, I buried a few eyes underground, every flower and tree here are exquisite, I dare not say anything else, the feng shui of this land, the entire Anling City can not find a few places better than it."

Yu Shu was inspired by the feng shui pool of crystal cultivation, and applied the eight life-and-death decisions taught to her by Qing Zheng in this serial garden, and only a master like her, who became a monk halfway, dared to act so boldly, so she was not afraid that one would accidentally rush into luck and kill people.

The two walked around the garden and sat down in the Xiaoxuan Hall facing the pond, and the maid heard Yu Shu's instructions and quickly ran to serve refreshments.

"What do you think of my garden?" The two sat down next to the window railing, and not far away they saw the pair of cranes, and there were a few mandarin ducks swimming in the pond, in pairs.

"Fabulous." Xue Rui could have had a lot of compliments, but when he said it, he felt that she was a vulgar garden.

"It's just that many places are empty, and there is a lack of a good name," he was in the midst of the birds and flowers, and everyone was refreshed, and he came up with emotion, so he recommended himself to choose a few names for the scenery in her garden.

Yu Shu was not happy, and when the maid came to deliver refreshments, he asked someone to bring the pen and ink from the study, and asked Xue Rui to write a few words.

Xue Rui's calligraphy was taught by Song Xiaoxian, a scholar of the previous Taowenguan University, who was a famous scholar in the world, but he was not bound by fame, and Zhaoqing returned to the field in the ninth year.

"I see that your small river pond is leading to living water, and there is a square stone standing by the pool, and I went back to find a craftsman to chisel the words." Xue Rui picked up the pen and wrote down the word "Jiugao".

The crane sings in Jiugao, and the sound is heard in the wilderness.

"I just passed by a corridor, and the sound of birds under the corridor was very beautiful, and there was a pair of canaries that were very beautiful." Xue Rui picked up the pen again and wrote down the word "Shiwen".

The sunset in the green forest and wild house is clear, and you can smell the birds when you take off your towel and walk alone.

Then Xue Rui named the attic, pavilion, cave door, mountain stone, and Xiaoxuan Hall they were sitting in the garden in one go.

"Thank you, big brother." Yu Shu happily counted the pile of words written by Xue Rui, dried the ink, and put it neatly on a wooden plate, asking Lin Er to take it to her study to keep it.

"Ming'er, I will ask someone to find a craftsman, and when the words are hung, I will invite you to come and enjoy the light."

Xue Rui was carrying the gilded invitation of her banquet guests, which she personally gave to her when she came to the door today, counting the days, there are only a few days left, thought about it, and said:

"On that day, there will be a lot of people, lest there be those who are not particular about intruding indiscriminately, spoiling the flowers and plants in your garden, frightening the birds and beasts, I am afraid that you will not have enough manpower, how many people will I assign to you to guard the garden?"

He couldn't be clearer about the situation of Yufu's new house, and she bought people from the people's house with a lot of money, Liu Jiong said in front of him a few days ago, which was a worry-free way.

But the people who came out of the courtyard are honest, but they are not powerful enough, in case they meet someone who is messing around, I am afraid that they will not be able to deal with it.

The list of her banquet guests had already been shown to him, and everyone who came, and he came to the door today to give her a head up.

Yu Shu was worried that there were villains in the visitors, if she knew some strange tricks, what would she do in her garden, and it would hurt her feng shui, and when she heard that Xue Rui was willing to help, she didn't think much about it.

"That's the best, I'm worried about the lack of people."

Speaking of this, Yu Shu put away his playfulness, thought of business, looked at the maid who was walking away, and turned back to Xue Rui:

"Where has the case of Taishi Shuyuan been found, has it been settled?"

Cao Youling died, and another Zhan Xueyuan died, and the murderer was suspected to be committed by the same person, but it was hidden deeply.

Xue Rui still had a smile on his face, and this time he raised the corners of his mouth, looked at her, and said quietly:

"The murderer is in the library, I have identified that person, but I can't find real evidence, and I don't want to startle the snake." (To be continued......)
