Zhang Huan settled the account and left the restaurant, although he still had to be on duty in the afternoon, but he was responsible for the safety of the Daming Palace, and there was no specific affairs, when he arrived at the Daming Palace, he began to drink a little, so he ordered his subordinates to say a few words, and went back to the dormitory to sleep.

When he woke up, it was almost dusk, he stretched his waist for a long time, only to feel full of energy, his thinking was unusually clear, and when he raised his eyes, he saw an invitation stuffed into the crack of the door, Zhang Huan smiled, stepped forward to pick it up, and sure enough, it was an invitation sent by the south of the eldest grandson, inviting him to the eldest grandson's mansion for a banquet tonight.

"General, Chu Shangshu is here!" Outside the door came the sound of the soldiers, and then a carriage drove by the window and stopped in front of the gate.

Since Chu Xingshui found out his mother's life experience that night, Zhang Huan has never seen him again, this is not a deliberate avoidance, but Chu Xingshui's official office is in the imperial city, and Zhang Huan is responsible for the safety of Daming Palace, and it is really difficult for the two to meet under normal circumstances.

"I went to Daming Palace to look for you in the afternoon, and your subordinates said that you were a little unwell, so go back and rest first."

Chu Xingshui stepped forward with a smile, he looked Zhang Huan up and down, and asked with concern, "What!" Sick? ”

Zhang Huan smiled and hurriedly gave a salute: "Thank you Uncle Shi for your concern!" I was sick somewhere, but I drank a few more drinks at noon and came back to sleep. ”

"So that's the case, I wonder if the virtuous nephew is free now?"

"Uncle Chu Shi, is there something to look for me?"

Chu Xingshui heard that he still called himself Uncle Chu Shi, smiled bitterly in his heart, and then nodded and said, "I heard that the virtuous nephew is looking for a house, and I happen to have an empty house in my hand, why don't I take you to see it." ”

"It's better to be respectful than to obey your fate, how can Uncle Chu Shishu not accept his wishes, even if he is not available, he will be free."

Chu Xingshui was overjoyed, it seemed that Zhang Huan was quite acquainted, and some of his previous worries were superfluous, "Come on!" Nephew, please get into my carriage, and I'll take you to see the house. ”

Zhang Huan smiled and shook his head, "I'm not used to riding a carriage, let's ride a horse!" ”

．．．．．．．．

"Uncle Chu Shi, thank you very much for Zhao Yan's matter."

The curtain of the car opened, and Chu Xingshui said with a smile in the car: "Zhao Yan's matter has nothing to do with you, I only agreed to it for the sake of mediocre face, I like her frankness very much, and I have accepted her as a righteous daughter." ”

Chu Xingshui actually accepted Pingping as a righteous daughter, which made Zhang Huan a little surprised, he smiled, didn't say anything, and soon the two entered Yongjiafang and walked along the tall yellow palace wall of Xingqing Palace.

"There it is." Chu Xingshui pointed to a house in front of him and smiled.

I saw that the house was close to Xingqing Palace, surrounded by a large area of green trees, but it was white walls and black tiles, which looked very fresh and elegant. ”

Chu Xingshui nodded, "You go!" You don't need to follow here. ”

He turned back to Zhang Huan and smiled, "I'll take you to see the house first." ”

Zhang Huan arched his hand with a smile, "Then it's troublesome Uncle Shi." ”

The house has four entrances, two separate courtyards in the east and west, about 30 houses, and a small garden in the inner house.

"This was originally the outer residence given by Emperor Xuanzong to Li Guinian (the chief court musician in the Tianbao period)."

Chu Xingshui took Zhang Huan to visit the house carefully, and the two walked through a long corridor covered with grapevines, and the breeze carried the fragrance of green leaves, which was refreshing.

At the end of the corridor is a small fish pond, a few red fish in the fish pond are leisurely feeding, but this fish pond is very cleverly designed, it is actually living water, bubbling bubbles, crystal clear, Zhang Huan is a little surprised, where does this living water come from? He looked up at Chu Xingshui.

Chu Xingshui didn't explain, he smiled mysteriously and pushed open the door of a room at the end of the corridor, "This is the study, do you like it?" ”

The study is not large, with rows of bookshelves and no calligraphy or paintings on the wall, only a couch, and the whole room presents a harsh white, but it is also clean and spotless.

"The study is average, but I love the view from the window."

Zhang Huan smiled and slowly walked to the window, outside the window is a hollow flower wall, there is a hundred-year-old laurel planted in the wall, the branches are luxuriant, you can see the back garden through the wall hole, the garden is dotted with green shade, the rockery pavilion is small and exquisite, Zhang Huan was suddenly surprised to find that in a bend pond in the middle of the garden, a clear spring surge, in the garden circle, and then to the south.

Chu Xingshui showed a smug look on his face, he pointed to the spring water and said with a smile: "The essence of this house is this clear spring, Lu Yu came here last spring to taste the spring, when the light rain was shining, he praised this place as 'soft breeze and drizzle refreshing heart field', and actually lived for three days, leaving the reputation of the third spring in Chang'an." ”

Zhang Huan nodded, and said with a smile: "Look at the direction of the spring, but you went to Xingqing Palace?" ”

Chu Xingshui stroked his palm and smiled: "Yes, Yang Guifei also liked this water back then, so she introduced it into her bedroom, so although Li Guinian got this house, she didn't dare to live in it for a day." ”

Speaking of this, he glanced at Zhang Huan and said with a faint smile: "How?" If you like it, this house will be given to you. ”

"I like it, I like it, but how can I accept such a valuable gift from Uncle Shi?"

Zhang Huan shook his head, "Besides, it's such a gentle township, I'm afraid that I'll be lazy with my temperament, so it's better to live in Dongneiyuan, and the little nephew understands Uncle Shi's good intentions." ”

Seeing that he refused to accept it, Chu Xingshui showed a disappointed expression on his face, "You should know that I am not an outsider, don't you even give me this face?" ”

Zhang Huan was silent for a long time, he raised his head and smiled slightly: "Since Uncle Shi has said this, the little nephew will be disrespectful." ”

．．．．．．．．

"There are a total of twelve maids and miscellaneous servants in the house, and there are thirty-three rooms, this is the roster, but the son must also hire another housekeeper."

The steward who took care of this house was about fifty years old, surnamed Sun, and was originally a small steward in the Chu Mansion.

Steward Sun handed the inventory to Zhang Chang, he sighed, he was about to return to Chu Mansion after the handover, the relationship was complicated, he was just a small steward, how could he compare with being free here.

"Is Steward Sun willing to stay?"

Zhang Huan saw his souvenir, so he smiled and said something to keep him.

"Of course I want to stay, but my deed is still in the Chu family, and I have to go back!" Having said that, Steward Sun's heart jumped wildly, it was the eldest master who accompanied Zhang Huan to see the house, which shows that the Chu family attaches great importance to him, as long as he is willing to speak, his own sesame trivial matter is not ......

The opportunity was rare, and Steward Sun immediately turned over and knelt down, "Villain Sun Ke, I am willing to serve my son." ”

Zhang Huan saw that he was quite clever, and he also liked it in his heart, and it was inconvenient for the dumb uncle to be a housekeeper, so he waved his hand and smiled: "You just stay!" In two days, the people of Chu Mansion will send you the deed. ”

"Yes!" Steward Sun kowtowed respectfully, today with the new master, it is the beginning of his second life, he immediately cheered up twelve points of spirit, ready to serve at any time, the spirit is full, but he always feels that his loyalty has not yet been shown, small things are meaningless, but he doesn't know big things.

Steward Sun searched his intestines and scraped his stomach for a long time, and he suddenly remembered something, so he smiled cautiously: "Childe may not know that Pei Xiangguo also came to see this mansion this morning." ”

'Bae Jun has been here! Zhang Huan slowly stopped, he secretly sneered in his heart, Chu Xingshui really didn't mean to drink, although he denied that the jade plate was not engraved with his mother's name at the beginning of the year, it just didn't want to be punctured on the spot, saving both sides of embarrassment, in fact, they both knew each other, even so, why did he come to confess his relatives again, could it be that he and his mother could move to the Chu family if he recognized his relatives? I think Chu Xingshui should also know this very well, in the final analysis, recognizing relatives is just a means.

His real purpose is to have other plans, otherwise why would Pei Jun come to see any house.

Thinking of this, Zhang Huan asked casually: "What does Pei Xiangguo think of the house?" ”

"Returning to the son, Pei Xiangguo looked very carefully, and asked him clearly about the materials used to build the house, the flowers and trees in the back garden, and even the current flow of spring water."

Zhang Huan nodded, it seems that this is the case, Pei Jun wants to recruit himself, Zhang Huan touched his nose and smiled bitterly, when did he become a fragrant dumpling, there is Chu Xingshui to send to the house during the day, and there is also the eldest grandson in the south to invite a blind date at night, of course, the eldest grandson is not interested in him, he really wants to see Song Lianyu's lady, how strong is she?
