As early as a month ago, the fourth master brought his wife and concubines and children to the Old Summer Palace to escape the summer, although the current Old Summer Palace is far from the specifications of later generations, but it is more than enough to accommodate Prince Yong's wife and concubines.

There are two lakes in the garden, the front lake and the back lake, the rivers are staggered, the water area is vertical and horizontal, the pavilions and pavilions are colored with the lake, there are more than a dozen landscapes, it is really a good place to cool off the heat and avoid the hustle and bustle.

The Old Summer Palace only built three temples on the islands that the front lake and the back lake saw, and the front hall also hung the plaque of the "Old Summer Palace Palace" given by Emperor Kangxi, and the middle hall said that Feng San was selfless, and the apse was said to be Kyushu Qingyan. Collectively known as the "Three Halls of the Old Summer Palace".

The fourth master lives in the Old Summer Palace on the shore of Qianhu Lake on weekdays, and receives subordinate officials and strategists there on weekdays, without being summoned. The backyard concubine Gege is not allowed to go to the Old Summer Palace to disturb her, and only Lin Xianyu, the concubine Fujin, can go at will.

The Fengsan Selfless Hall is the place where the family holds a family banquet, and the Jiuzhou Qing Banquet Hall is the bedroom of the fourth master.

And their wives and concubines live in the courtyard on the east side of the Jiuzhou Qingyan Palace.

Although Lin Xianyu occupies the largest courtyard among them, he still doesn't like it very much.

In the palace, her main courtyard is located directly north of the fourth master's Yin'an Palace, and her courtyard is surrounded by the small courtyard of the concubines, like the stars and the moon.

However, after coming to the Old Summer Palace, she and her concubines lived on the east side of the Jiuzhou Qingyan Palace.

"Is it because you dislike that the courtyard of Shanrong Shuitai is too small?" Yin Zhen actually felt that the courtyards in the east were indeed compact and narrow.

Lin Xianyu said lightly: "It's nothing that the yard is small, the main reason is that the location is not right, I should live directly north of the fourth master." ”

Although Yin Zhen felt that he was reasonable, he showed a helpless look, "But the north of the Jiuzhou Qingyan Hall is Houhu, you can't live in the summer attic north of Houhu, right?" ”

Around the back lake, there are indeed a lot of buildings, but one is far away from the three halls of the Old Summer Palace, and the other is also more pavilions and pavilions, only a few courtyards of Wutong Courtyard and Lotus Pavilion, and the location is not due north of Jiuzhou Qingyan Palace.

Lin Xianyu actually didn't mind living farther away, but there was obviously a better place at this moment, "Why don't you give me the Jiuzhou Qingyan Palace?" ”

Yin Zhen was stunned, he didn't expect Fu Jin to fall in love with his dormitory.

Lin Xianyu said with a smile: "You deal with political affairs in the Old Summer Palace Hall on weekdays, and you can use the middle hall as a dormitory, why don't you let me live in this apse?" It's like the emperor lives in Qianqing Palace and the queen lives in Kunning Palace. ”

Hearing this, Yin Zhen said with a straight face: "These words can also be said casually?!" ”

But Lin Xianyu could see that the fourth master was not really angry, and to this day, Mo said that it was her, even some concubines in the backyard of the fourth master could see the fourth master's thoughts.

Yin Zhen frowned and said: "If the master lives in the Fengsan Selfless Palace, where will the family banquet be placed after that?" ”

Lin Xianyu said lightly: "This is not a good thing, if the master likes to be lively, he will continue to hold a family banquet in the middle hall, and if he doesn't like to bother, he will hold a banquet in the apse." In this way, the family can also get closer. ”

Hearing this, Yinzhen felt justified, so he nodded.

Lin Xianyu said secretly, it should have been like this a long time ago! Why do you occupy the three largest temples by yourself? Isn't it okay to have an office and live by yourself?

Why did the old lady go to the east to live in a small courtyard with the concubines?

This Old Summer Palace was originally also Kangxi's garden, in the past, Mazi Kangxi also came to live here, the emperor of course had to have the emperor's head, one person occupied three palaces, and the concubines who served with him were stuffed in the small courtyards of the mountains and rivers in the east.

But she is a wife, why should she be treated the same as a concubine?

Lin Xian suddenly noticed that in the middle and late Qing Dynasty, it seemed that the queen did not live in Kunning Palace, and she also lived in the side palace like a concubine. The queen is not like the queen, and the concubine is not like the concubine, no wonder the Qing Dynasty always has a prince to inherit the throne.

Therefore, after a little pick-up, Lin Xianyu moved to the Jiuzhou Qing Banquet Palace.

It is worthy of the palace built by Kangxi at the beginning, it is spacious! The palace is paved with gold bricks, and there are things warm pavilion, fairy building, baby pavilion. There are ondols and beds in the East Warm Pavilion, and beds and fans in the West Warm Pavilion - not modern electric fans, of course, but fans powered by water power, which is great for cooling off the heat!

There are antiques and porcelain and other furnishings in the baby pavilion, all of which are the private collections of the fourth master, and the fourth master did not take them away, and left them directly for her to enjoy.

Well, yes, the fourth master is actually a very generous man.

There is also a chiming bell in the hall, which is a fresh and precious thing in this era, but in Lin Xianyu's eyes, it is an antique.

Set up a pair of copper cranes in front of the palace, there are four osmanthus canopies, plum blossom canopies, and the west side of the cranes is also planted with a sea hall, a tea tree each. There is a pier behind the palace. - That's right, because the back of the Jiuzhou Qingyan Hall is next to the back lake! So Lin Xianyu can go out directly from the back door and take a boat on the lake!

She lived in the east courtyard before, and she was not in a hurry to move out, mainly thinking about where it was better to move, and after studying for a long time, she aimed at the fourth master's bedroom.

Ya, who let you occupy three temples alone, it's not too much to divide one with me, right?

Take a boat from the wharf behind the palace, you can go to Cihang Pudu on the other side of the lake to worship the Buddha, or you can go to the Lotus Pavilion and Wutong Temple, but it is cheaper than land transportation. Mainly because most of the landscape in the Old Summer Palace is around Houhu Lake.

Lin Xianyu lived in Qingyan, Kyushu - this palace will be the bedroom of Emperor Yongzheng in the future!

There are also a lot of ink treasures of the four masters left here, including calligraphy, paintings, couplets, plaques, and a total of more than a dozen.

Lin Xianyu modified it according to his own preferences, making it a little more warm and elegant, these calligraphy and paintings naturally remain the same, and the fourth master's artistic skills are still very good, especially the words are written simply and elegantly, comparable to a calligrapher.

There is also a Qinghui Pavilion in the west of Jiuzhou Qingyan Palace, the pavilion is seven rooms up and down, Xuanyu is high and open, there are a large number of books in the pavilion, a large part of them are left by Kangxi, and the fourth master has also expanded a lot after the Old Summer Palace.

The first floor of Qinghui Pavilion has become a place for the sons of the fourth master to study, which is close to it, and it is also convenient for the fourth master to visit from time to time.

As for the children of the fourth master, they live in the east and northeast of Qingyan in Kyushu, and the island where the three major halls are located are separated by a water, and it is also a good place to cool off the summer. As for Sangegeneng Danyierha, he is still young, so he has been living with Lin Xianyu, and Sigege is still living in the Wu family's courtyard.

Among them, Wutong Courtyard is the largest and most spacious, after all, Hongyu has concubines, and it is almost time to marry a daughter-in-law, so it is time to give a larger courtyard.

The fourth master is still eleven years away from becoming the emperor, but I am afraid that Hongyu will already have children and daughters by then.

For Hongyu, although Lin Xianyu treats him well, but he has always been free-range, when Hongyu was young, although she taught literacy, but purely because Hongyu was cute at that time, she was idle and had nothing to teach to play.

But fortunately, she is free-range, the fourth master will not be free-range, the fourth master has taught his son very strict over the years, and the requirements for the eldest son Hongyu are higher.

Now Hongyu is busy reading, busy riding and shooting, although he has accepted the concubine and the people in the house, he has no time to play with the concubine, so he has not made any trouble so far.

The children of the royal family are also hard enough.

Lin Xianyu instructed Mama Kong: "Remember to ask the dining room to boil some drinks to cool off the heat and send them to Qinghui Pavilion." ”

"Yes, Fujin!" Mama Kong answered, and whispered again: "Fujin, the biological mother of the eldest brother is Li Fang Fujin after all. Now Niu Hulu is happy, if she gives birth to a child......"

Lin Xianyu almost didn't roll her eyes, of course Niu Hulu would have children, but she was not interested in losing children!

She waved her hand, "Niu Hulu's family has been in the house for many years, and it is not easy to be happy, and it is the first child, so let her raise it herself." ”

Seeing that Fujin was resolute, Mama Kong didn't dare to say more.
