What Gu Pingjie booked was the courtyard of the second entrance.

Two hot spring pools, one in the front yard and one in the backyard.

Gu Pingxin explained a few words to Qiao Lixi, sent her to the second gate, and watched her walk towards the corridor before going to the dressing room in the front yard with Gu Pingjie.

Qiao Lixi walked along the gravel road and walked through the photo wall.

This photo wall is cleverly designed, just in the middle of the second gate, cutting off the outside view, and the second door is locked in the inner courtyard, so as long as Qiao Yixi's side is locked, people from the outer courtyard can't enter.

Qiao Yixi didn't go directly to change clothes, but looked around thoughtfully.

The yard is really small, except for a bedroom, a lower room, and nothing else.

There is a clean room in the two rooms, if you want hot water, you need to go to the boiling water room to draw water, there is a place to eat in the public area in front, of course, you can also open a small stove, you want the kitchen to do it alone, accept a la la carte, and also accept your own food, the former is more expensive, and the latter charges processing fees.

In short, Hot Springs Mountain Resort does its best to provide guests with all the conveniences possible.

The public area in front and the private area in the back, there is a plum forest in the middle, and there is a special person to guard, in addition to the guards who know martial arts, the mother-in-law who guards here will also be able to punch and kick.

Qiao Lixi nodded secretly.

Don't underestimate the ability of the ancients to do business, most of the things in those textbooks were groped and sorted out by the ancients.

went to the bedroom to take off her coat, Qiao Yixi only wore her underwear, walked through the bedroom, came out of the back door, and went to the open-air hot spring.

The open-air hot spring pool is not large, after all, it is a private place, and it is not a public area in front, and the dumplings are generally crowded together.

The pond is irregularly oval-shaped, and the shore is made of exquisite pebbles. I planted a few plum and begonias, but unfortunately they didn't reach the flowering season, and there were small clusters of tender bamboos, which were chic and elegant.

There is no rockery, only a pile of rocks, which seems to be built there in a disorderly manner, but in fact, it just blocks the view from the sleeper.

Therefore, every seemingly unintentional design is actually exhausted.

Although it was broad daylight, there were not even a single bird around the courtyard, not to mention people, because wherever it was close to the courtyard, it was all bare, and there was nowhere to hide, except for the high wall, and there was nothing around.

Qiao Lixi can understand this very well.

There is no cover-up, no way to hide, and naturally there are no people who dare to peep.

Moreover, anyone who rents a small courtyard is a person with a bit of a family background, and there will be guards, mothers-in-law and the like around them, and to a certain extent, safety is still guaranteed.

After taking a beautiful bath, Qiao Lixi's cheeks flushed and went to the front yard.

"Qiaoqiao is here, why don't you soak for a while?" Gu Pingjie held the teacup and beckoned to Qiao Yixi from afar.

Qiao Yixi shook her head, "I'm hungry." ”

"I knew that the dishes were all ordered, and I had already asked people to go to the kitchen to get them."

Gu Pingjie was talking, and the little maid came in with a food box, Qiao Yixi glanced at it, and the three maids were all carrying food boxes, presumably the dishes were very rich.

Sure enough, as she expected, there were five dishes and one soup, as well as fruits.

"Qiaoqiao, come and try it, this is the specialty of the hot spring, Dongpo elbow."

"It's a very common dish, what's so special about it?" Qiao Yixi asked.

"You don't know this," Gu Pingjie looked ostentatious, "This Dongpo elbow is cooked in a hot spring, and the taste is lighter than simmering it over a simmer." ”

"Hot springs?" Qiao Lixi was skeptical.

Before coming, Gu Pingjie did his homework and had a detailed understanding of the villa, focusing on the hot springs and food here.

"The Dongpo elbow here is different from the general practice, cut the elbow, put it in the hot spring, and use the temperature of the hot spring itself to simmer the elbow, it doesn't take long, it is only about a quarter of an hour. This step is crucial because the hot spring water is flowing, and under the action of the flowing water, some of the oil and gas of the elbow itself will also be taken away, so that it will not taste so greasy. Then fry the sugar color, fry the skin of the elbow until golden brown, and the rest of the procedure is the same, and simmer for an hour, except that it is not placed on the fire, but together with the pot, it is placed in the hot spring. ”

"It's just a gimmick." Before Gu Pingjie finished speaking, Gu Pingxin interrupted him, grabbed a chopstick elbow, and handed it to Qiao Yixi's bowl, "Qiao Qiao, taste it first, the best thing about Dongpo's elbow is the skin outside." ”

"Fat but not greasy, pork knuckle is soft, the meat is tender, the meat is mellow and fragrant, and it is chewy." Qiao Lixi's evaluation is quite high.

"Yes, I ordered it on purpose, Qiaoqiao let go of the food, not enough to order more." Gu Pingjie is also very satisfied with his vision.

The three of them were full of wine and food, taking advantage of the warm sun of the late autumn afternoon, ready to go around the villa.

The hot spring mountain resort has not only hot springs, but also a view of the mountains.

Out of the courtyard, follow the path towards the mountain, and occasionally there will be patrolling guards and mothers-in-law.

The use of mother-in-law is to take into account the customers who have female dependents, and in case something happens, the mother-in-law is also convenient to deal with.

"I see that the people in the capital are so good at enjoying it, how about we also get a bathhouse?" Gu Ping's outstanding trip to the far away door stimulated his interest in doing business.

"You open a bathhouse and try it and see if anyone comes." Gu Pingxin struck.

Gu Pingjie rolled his eyes disappreciatively, "Open a high-grade, thoughtful service, replace all the back rubbing with young girls, see if anyone comes!" ”

The corners of Qiao Lixi's forehead twitched.

Awesome, my cousin!

"You dare!" Gu Pingxin reprimanded, "You forgot your grandfather's words? ”

"Don't touch pornography, gambling and drugs, my girls only sell their arts, not their bodies, they sell the skills of scrubbing the bath, what are you worried about?" Sophistry is sophistry, Gu Pingjie's voice has decreased a lot, in the end, he is weak-hearted.

"Don't even think about it, our Gu family has never done those messy businesses!"

"I'll just talk about it." Gu Pingjie's explanation became quieter and quieter.

The group walked up the hill as they spoke.

The scenery here can only be enjoyed by customers who have settled on the courtyard, so it has been specially carved.

For the owner of the hot spring villa, Qiao Lixi is very curious.

To be able to build the villa so chic, the details are so careful, not only to provide convenience for guests, but also to take a bath such a private thing, even in the open air, are very safe.

It can be said that I completely figured out the thoughts of the guests.

"Jojo?" A familiar voice, Qiao Yixi frowned.

Gu Pingxin and Gu Pingjie looked at the man walking opposite with vigilance, the innate nobility of that person showed his identity.

Although they only brought an entourage with them, Gu Pingxin and Gu Pingjie have practiced martial arts since they were children, and they are the most sensitive to the aura around them, and there are five or six people in the dark who breathe weakly, and they are all masters.

The reason why those people didn't hide so carefully may be because they didn't care about them, thinking that they couldn't threaten the man opposite, let alone find out what they were hiding.

"Your Highness."

As soon as Qiao Lixi's voice fell, the aura on Gu Pingxin and Gu Pingjie's bodies suddenly changed.

Especially Gu Pingjie, he is younger than Gu Pingxin, he is not so calm, plus he has a jumping temperament, he has always said something, and his emotions are all expressed on his face.

After learning that the man opposite was the third prince Duanmu Qing who framed the Gu family, caused him to go to prison, the Gu family's property was seized, and almost beheaded the whole house, the ruthless aura could not be controlled, and the hateful gaze poked directly at Duanmu Qing.

Gu Pingxin habitually wanted to remind Gu Pingjie to pay attention, but he almost couldn't control his anger, where did he still have the energy to take care of his cousin?

Moreover, the man in front of him is the enemy of the Gu family, why should he bear it?

What about being noble?

It's not about two legs with one mouth!

Duanmuqing glanced at Gu Pingxin and Gu Pingjie casually, and asked casually, "Qiaoqiao, these two are ......?"

"Gu Pingxin."

"Gu Pingjie."

Gu Pingxin and Gu Pingjie were very impolite, looking directly into Duanmu Qing's eyes, without even making a polite move.

Duanmu Qing didn't care either, the expression on his face didn't change, "It turned out to be the Chaotianmen Gu family, and I looked up for a long time." ”

It's not just a long admiration, but everyone has fought each other.

Duanmuqing didn't have much interest in Gu Pingxin and Gu Pingjie, so he only glanced at it casually, and then said to Qiao Yixi: "Miss Qiao, it's really a coincidence, you can actually meet here." ”

"I didn't expect His Royal Highness to like to take a bath in the villa." Such straightforward and awkward words are naturally said by Gu Pingjie.

Duanmuqing was not annoyed, and said with a smile: "It is better to be happy alone than to be happy with everyone, not to mention, the hot springs of this hot spring villa are very famous in the capital, whether it is His Royal Highness, or several royal brothers of His Royal Highness, or even his father, they will come to enjoy the hot springs." Especially when it snows, the outside is covered with snow, but the hot spring is as warm as the spring sun. ”

Fire and ice?

The corners of Qiao Lixi's forehead twitched, thinking of some discordant picture.

"The grass people don't bother Yaxing of the Third Highness, and the grass people retire first."

Gu Pingxin knew that he couldn't endure it for long, not to mention that there was an irritable cousin next to him.

Can't be provoked, can afford to hide!

He bit his cheek and tried to control himself.

"It's okay, meeting is fate, since we met, let's be together." Duanmu Qing made an invitation.

Gu Pingxin and Gu Pingjie had no intention of moving.

Jokes, anyway, they are also the soil princes of Chaotianmen, why do Duanmuqing want them to accompany them, they have to be accompanied?

The status is great, no matter how high the status is, it depends on whether they are happy or not!

"You don't have to be restrained, just treat Your Highness as an ordinary person," Seeing that the three of them didn't move, Duanmu Qing thought that they were afraid of his identity, and said amiably, "Speaking of which, His Highness has been here so many times, and I haven't had a chance to enjoy the scenery here, and today is really lucky, I actually met Miss Qiao and the young master of the Gu family, and I have a face?" ”

Duanmuqing thought he was very funny, and he made jokes.

Qiao Yixi quietly asked for the opinions of the two cousins with her eyes.

To tell the truth, she really didn't take Duanmuqing's identity in her eyes.

First, she is not a native, and she does not have such a deep understanding of the hierarchical concept brought about by her status.

Second, this is a public occasion, and it is also something you and I would like to do together.
