Xie Yingfen excitedly pulled Xie Mulin all over the mansion and twittered to introduce her to the benefits of this new home.

Where is spacious, the houses are brand new, there are many yards, there are many flowers and trees, there are few people, everyone has their own yard, not crowded at all, etc.

Not everyone in the Xie family has returned to Huyin, so except for the backyard on the middle road, which must be set aside in preparation for Mrs. Xie to come back to live at any time, the other courtyards are what they want. For example, Wanqin, she should have lived with her children, but now she can also occupy a small courtyard by herself, next to her son's and daughter's yards in front and back, and she can reach it with her feet, which is convenient and spacious.

However, Xie Yingfen is not without complaints: "I actually prefer Hanlian Courtyard, where there is a pond next to the lotus pond in the back garden, planted with a large piece of lotus flowers, the wind blows a burst of fragrance, standing by the pond in autumn, as soon as you stretch out your hand, you can pick the lotus pod to dig lotus seeds to eat." I liked it very much when I saw it, but my aunt said that the humidity was too heavy, and I had to choose the Tinglan Courtyard next door. Tinglan Courtyard is just planting a few pots of orchids, the mother-in-law who takes care of the flowers and trees is not very good, the orchids bloom in general, and it is not a rare variety, what is the meaning? But my aunt didn't say that it was good there, and it was close to her yard, so I had to agree......"

Having said that, Xie Yingfen actually lives quite comfortably in Tinglan Courtyard, and it feels better than several places she has lived in Jinling City, perhaps because she can only live alone with her mother-in-law, and she doesn't have to live under the nose of her biological mother every day.

Xie Yingfen's children, who live separately from their biological mother all the year round, have always been used to being free-ranged by their mothers, but they are not very suitable for the days of being closely watched......

Tinglan Courtyard is located at the back of Xinzhai West Road, alongside Hanlian Courtyard, and is only separated from the garden by a wall. On this side of the West Road, there is basically a courtyard for the young masters and young ladies, which is smaller in area, but it is exquisitely repaired and full of all kinds of flowers and trees. Xie Xianzhi's Cedar Courtyard, Xie Huizhi's Xiangzhang Courtyard, Xie Hanzhi's Dangui Courtyard, Xie Yingfen's Tinglan Courtyard, and Wanqin's Muxi Courtyard are all planted with their own characteristic flowers and trees, and the remaining Qingzhu Courtyard, Hanlian Courtyard, etc., are also the same.

Xie Yingfen took Xie Mulin to start shopping from the Cedar Courtyard, walked all the way to her own yard, counted the ordinary orchids in the yard to the second sister, and then went around to the Hanlian Courtyard to see the lotus, and pulled her to visit the back garden: "The garden is much smaller than the Guiyuan, but the lotus flowers bloom very well, the pool is not deep, I saw a mother-in-law fishing in the pool, the water only reaches her waist, even if she falls in, she is not afraid." I also wanted to go into the water to catch fish, but my aunt just wouldn't agree! ”

This kid is probably suffocated by the life in the small house and on the ship, and now that he has the conditions, he can't help but want to have fun.

However, Xie Mulin must admit that she was also said to be very interested by Xie Yingfen, and she really wanted to take a stroll in the garden.

It's a pity that Sister Shan quickly caught up and said breathlessly: "Girls, everyone is going to live in this house for a long time in the future, when do you want to visit the garden?" It's not getting early at this time, and the second girl has to go to the sect room to meet the elders. The four girls are also going to follow, so let's talk about it when we come back. ”

After saying that, she counted down Lian'er and Fluttershy, who were following Xie Mulin and Xie Yingfen: "Tell you to wait for the girls, you don't want to remind the girls to go back to the yard to rest, just play with the girls everywhere." The girls are young and generous, so if you don't talk about it, you should be sensible yourself. The two girls blushed and hung their heads together.

Xie Yingfen was also said to be a little sneering: "It's because I forgot this stubble, and I was so happy that I fainted when I saw the second sister, it's none of their business." After speaking, he turned to Xie Mulin, "Second sister, let's go back to the courtyard first." I'll accompany you to the garden another day. ”

Xie Mulin smiled and said: "It's okay, I also had a lot of fun, and by the way, I also knew the layout of the new house, and if I want to find my brothers and sisters in the future, I won't be afraid of not being able to recognize the road." ”

But she was also a little puzzled: "Why didn't you see the second brother's yard just now?" "Forget it if she didn't move in, Xie Jinzhi moved into the new house with the army, and it was clear that there were still two or three courtyards that were empty, why didn't he move in?

Xie Yingfen said: "Your second room doesn't live on the west side, it's on the east side of the road." There is an alley away from the two-bedroom mansion, and there is a side door to pass through, so it is more convenient to come and go. ”

So Xie Mulin followed Sister Shan, crossed the hall of the fourth courtyard on the middle road, and went to the east road of the new house.

The courtyard of the East Road is completely different from the pattern of the West Road. The southernmost is the carriage and horse shed, next to which is the courtyard of the council, with the steward's room and the guest room, which seems to be for the master to entertain his subordinates or guests, the place is very spacious, and there are many rooms, count them, at least ten or twenty rooms. However, the two courtyards were completely cut off from the one behind, and there was no doorway to communicate with them, and the walls were built very high. There are only two ways to go to the Wutong Courtyard separated by a wall at the back, one is to enter through the side gate in Qingyun Lane on the east side, and the other is to take the Moon Cave Gate on the east side of the main courtyard.

Wutong Courtyard is Xie Jinzhi's courtyard, which is a triple courtyard with a large number of houses and spacious places, which looks almost twice the size of Tinglan Courtyard. There are two sycamore trees planted in the courtyard, and it is now the flowering season, and they are blooming beautifully. However, the name of the courtyard is Wutong, and the most planted in the courtyard is the phoenix tail bamboo, which is planted in a large circle around the yard, covering half of the sunlight. In the hot summer, such an environment makes the courtyard very cool, and it is pleasant to live in.

It's just that Xie Mulin can't help but say: "Won't it be particularly cold in winter?" ”

The good sister who led the way looked back and smiled: "I'm not afraid." When the old man ordered someone to build this new house, he thought that he wanted to leave this courtyard to the second young master to live in, and specially ordered someone to build a fire wall in the warm pavilion, which was warm enough in winter. ”

So why not just plant less bamboo?

Xie Mulin didn't quite understand Xie Pu's train of thought. But think about it, Fengqi Wutong, and there are many phoenix tail bamboos planted in the yard, Xie Pu specially left this yard to the eldest son born to the Wen family, probably he also has special expectations for Xie Jinzhi in his heart, right?

In the concept of the ancients, the phoenix is certainly not just a symbol of the queen.

Behind the Wutong Courtyard is the Hibiscus Courtyard assigned to Xie Mulin. There is a small gate between the two courtyards. Sister Shan told Xie Mulin that this small door is usually locked, but now that the second girl's luggage is to be moved in, everyone is going from the main road, which is too troublesome and noisy, so it is more troublesome and noisy to take advantage of the side door leading to Qingyun Lane on the east side of Wutong Courtyard.

The Hibiscus Courtyard is not connected to Qingyun Lane, and after locking the small gate between the Wood Hibiscus Courtyard and the Wutong Courtyard, there is only one door to enter and exit, which is the west gate leading to the backyard. On weekdays, people have to walk through this gate and walk through the courtyard to get to the main courtyard.

When Xie Mulin saw this pattern, he only hoped that Mrs. Xie would not live in the backyard, otherwise she would be under Mrs. Xie's nose every day when she went in and out of her own yard...... It's so exciting!

Xie Mulin walked through the Wutong Courtyard and entered the Hibiscus Courtyard, and found that it was also a three-courtyard layout, with only the courtyard gate open on the west wall. The five rooms in the north house are open to the public, spacious and tall, with good lighting and ventilation, which is where she lives every day. The three rooms in the east house are cleaned up neatly, and they seem to be places like warehouses and clean rooms. The row of the south house is the residence of the girls. Li'er and Cuijiao quickly chose their favorite room, and they were very excited.

The houses on the southeast and north sides are connected by verandahs in front of the house, which is convenient to come and go. Behind the north house, there is also a vacant lot, which is a backyard. There are many flowers and trees planted everywhere in the courtyard, although there are hibiscus, but other magnolias, begonias and the like are not nothing, and there is a flower tray on the side of the courtyard wall, but it is empty.

Xie Mulin smelled the fragrance of flowers in the air, looked at the new courtyard in front of him, and couldn't help but look forward to the new life in the future.
