Xie Mulin took a hot bath, walked around his new room a few times, and carefully looked at the various chic knick-knacks on the treasure shelves and the various books on the shelves, and his heart was quite satisfied.

Although Xie Pu and Wen have not been with her for a long time, in their daily correspondence, they can be regarded as understanding their daughter's preferences "at this stage", so they bought these things especially for her interests. Although there are some of them that don't quite suit her taste, it's rare to get cheap parents! Even if those books were not beyond the limited reading range of the boudoir women of this era, and were a little dull for Xie Mulin, she was still grateful.

It's a big deal that she will go to bookstores and Taobao in Beiping City by herself in the future to enrich her book collection.

When she was eating, she had already heard Wen mention that now the atmosphere in Beiping City is quite enlightened, and as long as the girl brings enough entourage, it is no problem for her to go to the street by herself. In addition, the area around the official residence where the Xie family lives is almost the same as the official dormitory community, and there are also nearby commercial streets, the supervision is relatively strict, there are generally no idle people, etc., and there are officials patrolling all the time, and the public security is still quite good.

Xie Mulin himself has a few trustworthy girls, and the mother-in-law who goes out and Mrs. Zhang are cool and capable, and Jia Da can be a part-time coachman and a long-term attendant, as long as he grinds a cheap mother in the future, it must not be difficult to go out.

Xie Mulin secretly clenched his fists, and turned his head to look at the courtyard outside the window.

Of course, it is very cool for one person to occupy a courtyard alone, but she is treated like this in the capital and Huyin's hometown, so there is nothing unusual. There was a big girl peach and a little girl green orange and green apricot around her, and after arriving in Beiping, the former big girl Cui Jiao also returned to her to wait, these are four people. There are also two mothers-in-law who do rough work in this yard, and a little girl named Xiaoju who is responsible for sprinkling and sweeping. In addition, Xiang Tao had privately begged her to transfer her sister Xiao Tao into the yard to wait, and she agreed, and now she happens to be a companion with Xiao Ju. In addition to her master, there are now eight people waiting in her courtyard, and the number of people is very sufficient.

Among the four side rooms, two big girls occupy one, four little girls live in one, two mothers-in-law live in one, and one room can be left as a special clean room. Xie Mulin has made clear arrangements for his new home.

Cuijiao lifted the curtain from the warm pavilion and walked out: "Girl, the beds have been made, and they have been replaced with the bedding that girls are used to, do you want to go in and have a look?" ”

Xie Mulin went to take a look, and there was nothing to find fault with. The kang is built under the window of the warm pavilion, which is very large, so she can not only sleep here, but also eat and read and write and do needlework here during the day. Of course, this pavilion is her bedroom and living room in the winter, and in the summer, she will go back to the second room on the other side, where there is a shelf bed, which is cooler. As for the middle room, it is the living room, dining room, and study.

Judging from the layout and use of these three rooms, she can also appreciate the difference in life between the north and the south. If she is in the house of her hometown in the capital or Huyin, she does not need to prepare two bedrooms, and she can completely arrange one of the rooms into a special study, separate from the living room. But there is no way, the winter in the north is so cold, how can people live without a kang? This is the official residence built by the government a long time ago, and the kang of the unified plate is not said to build a fire wall or floor heating. But this house is big enough, two bedrooms are two bedrooms. In the summer, it is not impossible to use the warm pavilion, she can still spread a bamboo mat on the kang and use it as a study.

Xie Mulin was still very interested in his new home, so he pulled Cuijiao and asked: "Although it is dark and I can't see clearly, is it not convenient for me to go out in the direction of my yard?" It's going to take a long detour, right? ”

Cuijiao nodded and said, "It's a little farther, but not the farthest." The courtyard of the three girls is called closed, there is a broken road, although there is a passage to the kitchen, but the door inside is locked on weekdays. Even if the courtyard of the three girls is the closest to the kitchen, the mothers-in-law set out from the kitchen to bring food to each courtyard, and go around to the three girls, which is also the farthest one. Mrs. has long been instructed that the inner and outer houses should not be communicated at will, and the key to the door is not even my mother except for the wife's place, which is held by the aunt of the Ma family! ”

Cuijiao's mother is Zhao Fengnian's wife, and she was also one of the housekeepers, but she was mainly in charge of the affairs of the outer courtyard, so the Wen family did not give her the key to the inner house.

Xie Mulin nodded and sighed: "That's it, with the third sister as a comparison, it's not bad for me to do this." The road is farther, so I take walking as exercise, otherwise if I want to do some exercise, everyone in the family will make a fuss and stop it, and only walking is not persuaded. ”

Cuijiao smirked, she had been away from the little master for more than two years, and she actually didn't understand some of Xie Mulin's words.

Xiang Tao understood it, and walked over from the opposite bedroom and said, "If the girl wants to walk more, isn't there a garden in the house?" When I came over, I vaguely heard the cuijiao girl mention that the road on the edge of the courtyard of the fourth girl was to the garden, and it was close to it. ”

Xie Mulin suddenly perked up: "Yes, Daddy also mentioned it, and a few steps forward over there is the entrance to the garden." But I saw only a door in the distance, and a lantern hung under it, and I could not see anything else, nor did I know what was going on in the garden. But Daddy seemed to say that this garden was not very good. ”

Cuijiao smiled: "Of course, it can't be compared with Guiyuan in the capital. Guiyuan was built by a famous person. I'm afraid it can't compare with the garden of our hometown in Huyin. The gardens of Beiping City, especially the places where the adults who were officials lived, were built by the government in one fell swoop. Unless there is an adult who knows which house he lives in, and specially takes care of the craftsmen and makes modifications, the house built must be indispensable to craftsmanship, of course, there is no way to compare with the famous garden that has been carefully built by a famous artist.

"The lord often said on weekdays that he chose this house, which was for the eight courtyards for the young masters and girls, so the garden was slightly worse and not tight, and the horizontal and vertical could not be compared with the Guiyuan Garden in Beijing. Therefore, if the girl enters the garden in the future, and sees that the scenery inside is not satisfactory, do not be too disappointed. At least the stone rockery can still be climbed, in the pavilion above, you can see most of the Shichahai, which is stronger than any garden! ”

Xie Mulin listened with interest: "Really? Is the view so good? That rockery is very high? "She hasn't enjoyed the panoramic view of Shichahai in modern times, she has been enjoying it while walking on the side of the commercial street.

Cuijiao thought for a while: "It's almost two stories high in the old house." In fact, it is not high, but there is no higher rockery around, and the back is not covered, and it is directly Shichahai, so it can be seen very clearly. ”

Xie Mulin was a little nervous: "This season, Shichahai hasn't completely frozen yet, right?" But it's snowing today, and if there is snow, there should be snow to enjoy. I'll take a look during the day! ”

Cuijiao hurriedly said: "Girl, the weather is so cold now, and the wind is blowing hard during the day, you can't run to blow the wind at this time." In case it freezes, it's not fun. ”

Xie Mulin said: "I will take measures to protect against the cold. Isn't it a pity that you know that you have a good view at home, but you can't take a look? I've roughly figured out more than half of the layout of my home now, and there aren't many places I haven't been to, but the garden is one place, and I definitely want to take a look. Otherwise, in the winter, will this garden be deserted? ”

Emerald Banana looked at the peach at a loss. Xiangtao gave her a reassuring look: "The girl is in good health, don't worry!" ”
