As soon as you enter the east courtyard, you will see green trees in rows and shades. In late spring and early summer, the courtyard is full of flowers. Common camellias, gardenias, smiles, jasmines, and white orchids are everywhere, and the uncommon lily of the valley, phalaenopsis, and pansies are also mixed in, swaying in the wind. The air is filled with the scent of flowers, which is refreshing.

Tong Hang and Xiao Cui hadn't walked a few steps into the door when they saw a short and thin maid walking on the path leading to the secluded place among the flowers. Xiao Cui hurriedly greeted him and shouted, "Sister Qiu'er." ”

Is she Qiu'er's maid? Tong Hang couldn't help but look up and down curiously, listening to Xiaocui's description, this Qiu'er seems to know everything, and she can analyze problems, it is really "the essence of condensed".

"He's Niu Ba?" Qiu'er saw that Tong Hang was such a little pity, her eyes swept unscrupulously on her body, and she couldn't help but feel a little displeased and snorted.

Listening to her dissatisfied snort, Tong Hang immediately woke up. This is not the era of the previous life, and girls like to cross the feeling of being full of eyeballs all over their bodies. In this era, we pay attention to indecent disrespect, and my behavior just now was a little "Meng Lang" and a little obscene. He coughed dryly, and hurriedly stepped forward and shouted sweetly: "Sister descended from the flowers like a fairy, Ba'er sighed as a celestial, the little one has never seen the world, Sister Qiu'er, Ba'er can't compensate her sister." After saying that, I secretly felt numb several times.

"Okay, okay, my sister doesn't know you like a child." Qiu'er was coaxed by this sweet little mouth and couldn't tell the north, south, south, and north, and said, "I'll take you to the board house over there." ”

What the? It's a board house again? Tong Hang couldn't help but feel a little angry.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Cui pulled Tong Hang to follow behind Qiu'er and asked quietly.

Tong Hang put away the frustration on his face, no matter what, he couldn't let Xiaocui worry. The old lady has already given her to herself, in this dynasty, she is her own legal woman, she is a man, and everything can only be borne by herself. "Nothing, let's go up and see our new house."

As soon as she heard Tong Hang say about the new house, Xiao Cui's face turned red. lowered his head, hurriedly let go of Tong Hang's hand, and hurried towards Qiu'er in front. Tong Hang smiled slightly, and quickened his pace to keep up.

Take the tree-lined path to the north of Fugui Pavilion, and you will arrive at the northeast corner of the entire Li family. There is a small mound here, which is made up of soil from digging the lotus pond in the west courtyard. The mound is overgrown with towering trees, forming a small dense forest, and there are many small animals raised by the Li family in the forest. There is a huge stone in front of the mound, and two large characters in seal script are engraved on the stone. A hundred steps to the right of the boulder, there are seven dilapidated civil engineering houses. It's strange, why is it that only the middle room has the door open in this long row of houses? A man came out of the door, saw them, and hurried over.

Mu'er? How did he end up here? Help deliver something? Tong Hang hurriedly greeted him and shouted, "Brother Mu'er." ”

Mu'er nodded, walked over, and saluted in front of Qiu'er: "Sister Qiu'er, I'm sorry for you." ”

"Mu'er, I brought the two of them. The old lady has sent someone to explain to the young lady, and she must take good care of them. The young lady said, I'll leave it to you here. Qiu'er turned around and was about to leave, then stopped and turned around and said, "The young lady said, there will be Uncle Qian's family from the Grange who will come to live with you in a while." ”

Qiu'er turned around and left after speaking, and Mu'er sent her off in the back. Tong Hang looked at Mu'er blankly, feeling strange in his heart, this Mu'er is too careful.

"Brother Mu'er, okay, Sister Qiu'er can't see it anymore." Tong Hang pulled the obedient Mu'er with his head down.

"Gone? Oh. Mu'er turned around and saw Tong Hang standing behind him, startled, and hurriedly bowed down and said, "Childe, what are your orders?" ”

What the? What's going on? Tong Hang was stunned and stammered and asked, "Brother Mu'er, are you ...... You said...... What the? Son? ”

"The old lady sent Sister Xuelian to give instructions to the little one, to serve you as a son, and the villain to be a housekeeper for you. With your eighth son, there is a villain Mu'er housekeeper. ”

What's going on? The old lady is crazy? During the children's voyage, Ai Ai didn't know what to say.

Xiao Cui opened her mouth wide and looked at Tong Hang in a daze. How did you become a child?

"Shall we go see the room?" Mu'er asked respectfully.

Tong Hang nodded, and he and Xiaocui followed Mu'er to the civil engineering house in a daze.

It is a row of dilapidated houses with seven civil engineering structures. The walls are all rammed earth walls of loess, which are very strong. The rafters are very thick nanmu, and the roof is a two-inch thick plank, and the planks are covered with dead shrubs. Can this plank withstand the rain?

Seeing Tong Hang's eyes staring at the wooden board, Mu'er hurriedly said, "Childe, that ......"

"Call it by name." The scream was very harsh, and Tong Hang was not used to listening to it.

"But the old lady said......

"Don't listen to the order, I'll tell the old lady to change people!"

"This ......", Mu'er couldn't help but be a little timid, and said in a low voice: "But, if others hear it, then ......"

"Isn't it like no one else?" Tong Hang said: "There are no outsiders, you call me by my name, I will call you Brother Mu'er." ”

"Well, ......." Mu'er had no choice but to say: "Ba'er, the board first plugged the gaps with sawdust, then scraped a layer with lime slurry, and then brushed a thick layer with tung oil. The shrubs and branches spread on top are mainly afraid of the heat. ”

"The house is dilapidated but sturdy," Tong muttered.

"The structure of this house is the same as the house in the front yard where our subordinates live." Mu'er said: "But a few people live in so many houses, it's still much better than before." ”

"It's only six houses." Xiao Cui pouted and said, "We have four rooms in the backyard alone." ”

"Young lady, there is a heavy one in the back, this is a two-fold house in the front and back."

Hearing Mu'er call Mrs. Xiaocui, Tong Hang couldn't help but feel funny. Hurriedly turned his head to look at Xiao Cui, but saw that Xiao Cui's face was flushed and he was also peeking at himself, Tong Hang couldn't help but be happy.

"That's many, isn't there fourteen?" Tong Hang asked casually.

"There are twenty-two."

"Twenty-two? So much? Tong Hang couldn't help but be stunned and said, "Didn't you say two-fold?" Is it a courtyard house? ”

"What is a courtyard house?" Mu'er was stunned for a moment, and then came to his senses: "It's a good image, it's indeed a four-in-one." ”

Tong Hang hurriedly stepped in and shouted: "Go in, go in, don't stand here and talk stupidly, go in and have a look." Mu'er and Xiaocui hurriedly followed.

As soon as you step into this courtyard, it is really extraordinary. There are a total of 14 houses in the front and back, four on the left and four on the left and four vertically. Instead of a cobblestone road, there is a cross promenade with cornices, which meets the promenade of the rows of houses. The four open spaces in the courtyard are filled with various flowers and strange-shaped stones. A few begonia trees and redbud trees dot the area, and although the flowers have bloomed, the lush foliage is also pleasing to the eye.
