The inverted seat room in the second room sits south and faces north, which is not a good choice for living, so it is generally for servants to live, and some also set up several guest rooms for visitors to live.

However, if it is a large family, the guest room will not be placed with the inverted room where the servant lives.

For example, this compound.

After Su Baiyi took Yu Mutong's hand and entered through the full moon gate of the second entrance, what appeared in front of him was the third courtyard.

It's huge!

The third courtyard is the same width as the first and second courtyards, but the depth is larger than that of the first two courtyards, that is, the area of the third courtyard is larger than the sum of the first and second courtyards.

The yard is paved with bluestone slabs, and two rows of ornamental trees are planted along both sides of the stone slabs, and the back of the trees is divided into east and west wings!

Generally speaking, the eldest son lives in the east wing after getting married, and the second son lives in the west wing after getting married. There is also a room for girls who have not yet left the cabinet.

Facing Su Baiyi is the main room, the main room is tall and mighty, and the ear room is set up on both sides, and the ear room is generally used as a study and storage room.

There are two north-south houses similar to the ear room in the south of the east and west wings, Su Baiyi took a general look, the east is the toilet, and the west is the kitchen.

Holding Yu Mutong's hand, he followed Zhao Heng, He Shan, Gu Zhong and the two girls into the main room. I thought that the main house was the owner's residence, but Su Baiyi realized that he was wrong after entering.

It's just a hall for visitors!

It stands to reason that there should be a heavy one behind this yard!

After leaving the hall and returning to the courtyard, I found a passage between the east side of the room and the east wing, and a very beautiful door was hidden on the north side of the wing.

This door is not a round moon cave door, but a normal square door.

The only difference is that there is a porch stretched out in front of this door, and the main house, the eaves of the ear house outside the verandah become one, very beautiful, but unfortunately the use should not be big, you can shelter from the rain on rainy days, and you can shade the sun in summer.

But at home, I don't go to my room and run under the gatehouse to take shelter from the rain, unless I'm mentally ill.

"This is the Hanging Flower Gate!" Yu Mutong was well-informed, nodded and said: "This is the inner courtyard when you go inside, and the general inner family lives in it." ”

Su Baiyi immediately understood!

If you have a mother, a wife, a concubine, a daughter, and a sister who has not yet come out of the cabinet, then you should live in it.

Of course, as a host certainly lives in it too.

In ancient times, the so-called "the door does not go out, and the door does not step out!" "This two doors generally refer to the Hanging Flower Gate.

"My lord, if you go inside, you will be the residence of the inner dependents, and the little ones will not go in!" Gu Zhong looked at the Hanging Flower Gate and hesitated.

In this era, there are very many rules, not to mention the people outside, even the male servants of the family are not allowed to enter the inner courtyard unless there are any heavy objects to carry.

"No problem!" Su Baiyi waved his hand very happily and said: "I haven't moved in yet, let's talk about these rules after I move, let's go, come in with me to see." ”

Not only Gu Zhong, but also a few close-fitting brocade guards brought by Li Suo also followed into the fourth courtyard.

From the point of view of appearance, there is almost no major difference between the fourth courtyard and the third courtyard, both of which have the same architectural pattern, with a main house, a wing room, an ear room, and the same kitchen and toilet.

"This is supposed to be where the owner lives!" Su Baiyi looked at the shady courtyard and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "This Mu family is just a small businessman's house, and the house is more luxurious than many high-ranking officials. ”

"That's why he deserves to die!" Zhao Heng followed with a smile: "This kind of arrogant thief really doesn't die a hundred times." ”

Yu Mutong's gaze turned slightly, his eyes stared at the northeast corner and said, "Xianggong, there is a fifth layer behind!" ”

Su Baiyi was slightly startled in his heart, and his eyes followed Yu Mutong's gaze, and sure enough, he saw a hanging flower door in the same place: "How many people are in this Mu family, what do you want so many houses?" Can you stay all? ”

Chunyan ran over and looked behind him, and said, "Master, behind this is the stable!" ”

Yu Mutong nodded and said: "That's right, this courtyard is the fifth entrance, and the last entrance is generally a stable, which can also be used as a residence for the elderly parents." ”

"Okay, anyway, this yard is enough for us, there are only a few people in our family, and we don't need to change houses in the future!" Su Baiyi was very content with her residence and didn't have too many requirements.

Of course, although the house left by the Mu family is very luxurious, it is still far from being compared with the real official palaces such as the Shen Mansion, the Yuan Mansion, and the Yu Mansion.

Yuan Keli occupied a large lake by himself and built a boat-shaped villa complex in the lake.

The Shen Mansion not only has a separate garden and pond, but also a family school for the disciples to study, and there are few pavilions and pavilions.

As for the Yu family, when Su Baiyi went, Yu Mutong lived in the wooden attic.

Although the Mu Mansion is large, there are no gardens, ponds, or pavilions and attics.

While thinking about it, Chunyan over there said curiously: "Hey, master, there is still a moonlight door here!" ”

"Huh?" Yu Mutong's head turned suddenly, as if he had discovered some new continent, and said, "Xianggong, go and take a look!" When he spoke, his tone was hurried, as if something really strange had been discovered.

Su Baiyi naturally noticed his wife's reaction, and secretly said why did she seem to be a little excited?

Yu Mutong is really excited!

For their own home, of course, the bigger the better, the more beautiful and beautiful the better, just with their husband turned the whole yard around and found that although the scale of this courtyard is not small, it is also an ordinary house, not even a garden.

To be honest, she was still a little disappointed.

As the mistress of the home, she wished more than anyone else that there would be a garden.

When Chunyan found a moon door in a hidden place in the northeast corner, she was excited.

Who is okay to open the moonlight door outside the courtyard in the courtyard for no reason, but it can be seen that this is the inner courtyard, except for the inner family members who generally do not allow outsiders to come in, it is impossible to open an outward door here.

It's not an outward door, it's an inner door!

What is behind the moon gate, she also guessed in her heart.

Sure enough, after she took Su Baiyi's hand and walked through the door of the Moon Cave, she was almost crazy with joy when she looked at the scene in front of her.

Garden!

Sure enough, there is a garden.

The green grass is full of flowers!

In the whole garden, there are pavilions, rockeries, ponds, and marshes.

Almost everything that can be found in other mansions is found in this garden.

"It's so beautiful!" Chunyan looked at everything in front of him in shock, and didn't know whether to laugh or cry on his face.

Yu Mutong only grabbed Su Baiyi's hand and said, "Xianggong, this garden is on the east side of the entire courtyard, separated by a wall of the house, which is generally long, but it seems to be wider than the house." ”

"yes!" Su Baiyi also had a kind of unexpected joy: "The garden is larger than the area of the entire house. As if he thought of something again, he frowned and said: "This yard is too big, is it a little less for a few of us to live in it, aren't you afraid of being cold and lonely at night?" ”

Because Su Baiyi wants to build a railway, he will definitely spend less time at home in the future, and he will spend most of his time outside, in case he is not at home, there are only three women at home, and it is really unsafe in this troubled world.

Thinking about this problem, I suddenly felt a little entangled.

"It's okay!" Yu Mutong said: "Go back and buy a few mothers-in-law and maids from Renyazi, such a big yard has to be cleaned up by a lot of people anyway, so the house will be lively." ”

"You can't do it without a man!" Su Baiyi was in a dilemma: "But if you find a manservant to come over casually, and you don't know the bottom line, if the master is not at home, it is inevitable that there will be a matter of evil slaves and bullying the master, what should I do?" ”

Yu Mutong stopped talking, pondered for a while and said, "Otherwise, I'll ...... from my father."

"No!" Su Baiyi didn't let her continue at all, and directly waved her hand to refuse.

Next to him, Zhao Heng smiled and said, "Master Su, don't worry, this matter is easy to do!" ”

"Huh? Zhao Gong has a way? Su Baiyi's eyes lit up.

"I just want to report to Master Su!" Zhao Heng said: "This morning, Li Baihu received a letter from Jinyiwei, and His Majesty told us that our family and He Shan do not need to go back to the palace for the time being, and stay with Master Su to serve around, so that we can take care of it!" ”

"Huh?" Su Baiyi was stunned for a moment, and said with a little embarrassment: "This, Su has affected his father-in-law!" ”

"No, no, sir, I thank you so much for this." Zhao Heng said with a smile: "For our family, being able to stay in Guide Mansion is your light!" ”

"What do you mean by that?" Su Baiyi asked.

"This is not the place to talk, go back and talk to you in detail." Zhao Heng said with a smile: "So, the slave will live in your house in the future, and it is not bad to enter the house thirdly outside, and He Shan and I will live in the third." Go back and ask He Shan to buy some subordinates, and give them to me to wait. ”

"Thank you father-in-law, but, won't you be too wronged by the two of you?"

Zhao Heng is also of high grade, is it not appropriate to stay in the Su family as a subordinate casually; Don't look at He Shan's young age, he is from the clerical office, and he is qualified to enter the existence of the celebrant in the future.

It's really not suitable for two such awesome characters to act as the subordinates of the Su family!

"That's it, slaves and maids can't get used to living in other places!"

"Okay, don't be a slave or a slave, the one who comes is a guest, and the next two fathers-in-law will be the guests of my Su family!" Su Baiyi looked at Li Qing and Chunyan beside him again, pulled one up with one hand, and said: "And the two of you, Su has always treated you two as sisters, and now that our house is big, we will soon have a maid and a mother-in-law, so naturally you don't need to do everything yourself." If you don't dislike it, how about being the master of the Su family from today on? ”

Chunyan and Li Qing were each startled, and said, "The slave doesn't dare!" ”

"Don't dare!" Su Baiyi said: "From today on, you two are my sister Su Baiyi, Li Qing is old, she will be a sister, she will be renamed Su Qing from now on, Chunyan will be young, she will be a sister, and she will be renamed Su Yan from now on!" ”

"Ah...... Woo woo......" Chunyan cried out excitedly: "Chunyan thanked the young master, no, it's Su Yan, Su Yan thanked the young master!" ”

"It's brother, it's not a young master!"

"Yes!" Su Yan choked and said, "Brother! ”

"Su Qing thanked my brother!" Li Qing's eyes were red, and she also saluted Su Baiyi. 21010
