That's a coincidence.

Everyone in the Xie family regarded this coincidence as an interesting thing, talking and laughing, but Xie Yinghui and her brother Xie Xianzhi glanced at each other, and a happy smile appeared on their faces.

Xie Pu had just arrived in Beiping to take up a new position, and when he chose the official residence to move in, Xie Yinghui had just moved out of Pingnanbo's mansion. She was once misled by her biological mother Cao Shuqing and the Cao family, and she had many misunderstandings about her family, saying a lot of things that she didn't like to hear, and she also made her father Xie Pu dissatisfied. When she moved back to the Xie family's mansion in Pearl Bridge, she was worried that her father would be reluctant to accept her. She only thought that she could continue to live in that mansion, and she was not sure that she would follow her brothers and sisters back to her hometown in Huyin, let alone hope that she would be able to take up her father's post. But when Xie Pu first took office, he had already considered that all his children would come to his post to reunite, and specially left a yard for the eldest son and eldest daughter...... It proves that my father never disliked them and never thought of abandoning them.

Xie Yinghui remembered Cao Shuqing, the mother who left their brothers and sisters without saying a word, and Cao Shuqing, who ran away thousands of miles with the wild man, and the Cao family, who calculated their brothers and sisters in every possible way, and turned their faces and didn't recognize people once they found out that they couldn't fool them, and suddenly felt that her nose was sour. She quickly turned her head away to avoid letting the sisters beside her notice her abnormality.

Only Xie Xianzhi has been paying attention to his sister's expression, and he can naturally guess what she is thinking when he sees this. He sighed secretly, but he was more courageous about the future. No matter what bad things their biological mother did, their father never gave up on them, and that was enough. The father is so fair and loving, and he, as a son, of course, must do his best to do his best, study hard for the imperial examination, and win glory for his father.

The four courtyards prepared for a few boys are all three-courtyard houses, and because the courtyard door is open on the south wall, it has become a rare pattern in this house that sits north and faces south. Each courtyard has three main rooms on the north side and two rooms in the east and west wings, and the place is quite spacious. Although the boys of the Xie family are also waiting for them, they are only one or two big girls, with three or four little girls or mothers-in-law doing rough work, and the number is limited. A courtyard for these people is more than enough. No matter which yard Yang Chun lives in, it is spacious enough.

Xie Huizhi was about to persuade Yang Chun to live with him, so that he would have a helper when he did his homework in the future. But Xie Jinzhi's eyes were sharp, and he invited Yang Chun before he could speak, and the latter naturally would not refuse, so the heirs of the second room lived in the same courtyard as his grandson. Xie Huizhi received the warning glances from the two elder brothers, and knew that his little abacus had made the brothers aware of it, so he had to shut up stupidly. Xie Pu watched happily as the boys discussed accommodation arrangements, and did not mean to interfere. It is naturally a good thing that the juniors in the second room can get closer, not to mention that Yang Chun is also an honest child who loves to read, and he lives with Xie Jinzhi, the second son who is also honest and loves to read, so he can concentrate more on his studies.

Xie Pu pointed out the yard for them according to the order of his sons, and let them go to cook. The luggage has been sent in, and everyone is responsible for the things that are packed up later, and of course he, the patriarch, will not ask. Now that it was late at night, he didn't lead everyone into a courtyard by yard, and it was serious to send the Song family to the residence first.

The courtyard where the elders lived was at the back of the main courtyard, separated only by a wall. The courtyard is open in the northwest corner, and the inside is also very spacious, but the plot is slightly wider and flattened. However, this courtyard was originally also the layout of the main house with five rooms, but now, for some reason, a green wall is formed from the center of the courtyard with a row of large potted shrubs and bamboo fences, and the entrance and exit are left in the middle, separating the entire courtyard into two small courtyards in the north and south. The first thing you see when you enter the door is half of the courtyard in the north, there are only two rooms left in the main house, but there are three side rooms, and there is a row of inverted seats in the west, and it is not a problem to live for more than a dozen people, but what is this strange pattern.

Song couldn't help but smile when he remembered the appearance of Ai Ai when Xie Pu had just introduced her to her.

Before Xie Meijun could figure it out, she asked Xie Pu: "Third brother, what are you doing...... What's going on? Didn't you say that there was only one yard? ”

Xie Pu replied with some shame: "It's a courtyard." In the middle, I just took some potted plants to make a space, at most I could only block the eyes of people on both sides, but I couldn't block any sound. ...... in the house It was a thick wooden board attached to the round light mask to build a false wall. I also had no choice, when I received a letter from my hometown and knew that my mother was also going north, I was very happy, but when I thought of the residence of the two old people, my husband and wife were worried. Luckily, the yard is spacious enough to accommodate many people, even if it were split in half. It's just that the official residences are all built by the government, and the officials who come to Beiping to take up their posts can move in, but they can't renovate the houses without permission, and even those flowers and trees that are a little old can't be cut privately. The son couldn't build a wall outside the courtyard in this courtyard and transformed it into two courtyards, so he could only ...... Will be on it. ”

Although this kind of renovation seems a bit child's play, he has already tested it himself, and the false walls in the room are still quite soundproof, and the people living in the rooms on both sides will not affect each other. As for the green wall in the yard, there is no way, in autumn and winter, the flowers and trees in the north are withering, and it is not easy to find suitable large shrubs and potted plants, so I can only ask the two elders to endure for some time. However, after the spring of next year, the two old men must have gotten used to each other, and his mother, Mrs. Xie, will not make any more awkward troubles with her sister-in-law, right?

This is Xie Pu's good wish.

Xie Meijun looked at her brother and stopped talking. She is not very optimistic about Mrs. Xie's temperament, and she doesn't want her mother to endure such a willful and unreasonable concubine. At present, this kind of getting along is actually quite good, where her mother is, the aunt will definitely retreat, and their mother and daughter don't even have to bother to do superficial work.

Song smiled and said, "That's not bad." The third brother and sister actually can't pull their faces. In the past, I lived far away from her, and as long as she didn't come to see me, I couldn't go to her, and if we didn't get along with each other, we would only become more and more estranged. Now we live in the same yard, and we are just neighbors, and we can see each other every day, and she always wants to open it. Otherwise, if I live in the front yard and she refuses to see me, won't she even be able to get out of the courtyard? ”

I don't know if Xie Pu did it intentionally, so he directly sent the sleeping Mrs. Xie into the south courtyard of the inner room. If the people of the southern courtyard want to go out, they must pass through the northern courtyard, but the people of the northern courtyard can come and go freely without any scruples. If Mrs. Xie really refused to see the Song family, then as long as the Song family stayed in this courtyard for a while, she wouldn't even be able to get out of the door, let alone go out to meet guests.

Song said she had no opinion on such an arrangement.

Xie Meijun looked at her mother, and then at her brother, she couldn't help sighing, and said, "There are only two rooms left in the main house, although the house is quite large, but it is too inconvenient to live." If my mother doesn't mind, why don't I live in the two main rooms on the east side? There are three wings on the north side, and my mother lives in them. ”

Song agreed, thinking that if the third brother and sister planned to go out of the courtyard, they would have to face their own faces in the north wing as soon as they came out, so it would be more interesting, right?

Xie Pu didn't know if he guessed what his mother was thinking, he just smiled and helped Song: "It's cold outside." Mother, shall I help you into the house? The kang has already been burned, and it will be warm. ”
