Li Ran, Tao Nong, and Zhou E went to Liquanju to have a delicate vegetarian meal, sat under the ancient camphor tree in the backyard, looked at the distant mountains, listened to the stream, talked with or without a pair, drank tea for an hour, and then got up and came out.

At Li Ran's request, the smiling Taonong sat in Li Ran's car, took Li Ran, and took Li Ran around outside the Peach Blossom Cave, Taonong got out of the car and went to the Peach Blossom Cave to find her good sister, and Li Ran took the car back to the Chang'an Hou Mansion.

Ascending the steps of Cuiweiju and crossing the threshold, Li Ran stood and looked at the small courtyard in front of him.

This Cuiwei residence is located in a remote location, and it is too small and exquisite, and the Chang'an Hou Mansion with a large place and a small population belongs to the eighteenth-line courtyard.

Such a small courtyard, according to the second grandmother Cao's statement, is only afraid that it will not be used for ten or twenty years, so before Li Ran moved in, this small courtyard was empty, there was nothing and no one, but it was gathered together with the other three similar small courtyards, and a mother-in-law was arranged to clean and check on time.

The day before Li Ran arrived at the Chang'an Marquis Mansion, the second grandmother Cao received the instructions of Mrs. Chen, and in a panic, she moved some essential furniture in, and hurriedly ordered a mother-in-law and a rough girl, and returned to Cuiweiju to clean the rough envoy.

Although the second grandmother Cao Shi was shocked for nearly a quarter of an hour when she received the order, she was able to react quickly and accurately after a long period of training:

In this small courtyard, the essential ones will be moved in first, and the rest, well, then it will be up to later.

If this girl who suddenly appeared was silent from now on, at least Madame would not be unhappy with such an arrangement.

If this girl can speak, it is a sentence that I don't know the girl's preferences, and I dare not make more claims, so I ask the girl to watch the selection and arrangement by herself.

It's good left and right.

After Li Ran moved in, Cuiweiju in her eyes lacked nothing, of course, even if it was missing, she didn't care.

She doesn't care, and no one cares, this small courtyard, except for the trip to Baibaoge to pile up some furnishings, the rest is the appearance arranged by the second grandmother Cao's family, as long as it is not something that must be used, Cuiweiju has nothing.

Her cuiwei residence in the outer courtyard, of course, has been empty, nothing.

Now, on the other side of her yard, in one corner, planted an eighteen bachelors with excellent posture and a height of half a man, and from this eighteen bachelors, along the verandah, all kinds of tea plums and camellias were scattered, until they were placed in front of the verandah railing in front of her.

On the other corner, a rockery more than one person high occupies the whole corner, the rockery comes, several large stones are placed in a place to sit, and an indigo brocade mat is placed in the middle.

Next to the big stone, a small path bends to the rockery, on the other side of the path, is a half-person high rockery, the yard is very small, this half-human high rockery is next to the verandah railing in front of Li Ran.

Li Ran descended the steps, followed the winding path between the rockery and the camellia, lowered his head, looked slowly, and walked towards the Hanging Flower Gate.

The rockery and the big stone are all green bricks that have been opened up and buried in a part, and the green bricks and rockery stones have not been repaired.

The eighteen bachelors were buried in a pot, and there was a half-foot-high celadon pot exposed on it.

However, after most of the day's work, it can be cleaned up like this, and it is not easy to move in this rockery with a lot of people.

It's really fast.

Is this Mama Fu's handwriting?

It's really elite.

Li Ran went up the steps in amazement, turned around in front of the Hanging Flower Gate, walked slowly along the verandah, looked at the scenery in the courtyard from all angles, turned around, and then returned to the Hanging Flower Gate to stand, looked at it for a while, and then turned around and walked inside.

Mama Fu stood in the shadow of the corner of the hanging flower door with her hands down, and carefully watched her expression and demeanor from the moment Li Ran entered the courtyard gate.

Li Ran entered the Hanging Flower Gate, and Mama Fu hurriedly took a few steps forward to follow, and said with a smile as she walked: "Before the beginning of noon, the old lady of Caofu sent someone to send two boxes of snacks and a box of uterine flowers.

It was brought by Mama Yuan, who was waiting beside the second grandmother, and I asked in passing, saying that I first asked the old lady and Mrs. to say goodbye, and then came to our side from the third lady. On the side of the three ladies, it is also the same dim sum and palace flowers. ”

Li Ran's steps slowed down a little, and she listened intently to Mama Fu's words.

Seeing that she was listening attentively, Mama Fu smiled and said, "I thought, there is nothing suitable for a return gift in our courtyard, so I went to the second grandmother, and asked the second grandmother to bother and help us prepare a return gift." ”

Li Ran sighed in a low voice, it turned out that he could return the gift like this, just throw it directly to the Cao family.

Also, this entire Chang'an Hou Mansion is a family, and when it comes to dealing with the outside, it should indeed be arranged from the Cao family, she didn't realize it before.

When Mama Fu heard Li Ran's low, enlightened voice, her heart was slightly relieved, she guessed right, she really didn't understand these people's sophistication.

Entering the house, Mama Fu motioned to the little girl to open the dim sum and palace flowers and send them to Li Ran.

The dim sum box was very full, one was full of small dark jujube red pastries, and the other was a snow-white pastry, which was creamy.

Li Ran picked up a piece of jujube red pastry and bit a little.

The white one is the milk cake, she smells it, the jujube red, the taste is very light, she doesn't smell it, she doesn't see what it is, but it doesn't matter, taste it and you'll know.

"In this longan cake and milk cake, it seems that there are a lot of longan and nai milk, and they are probably made specially for the girl to nourish her body."

Mama Fu looked at Li Ran's expression, paused, and then said with a smile: "The girl is sick, and the old lady of the Cao family has heard about it." ”

The pastry that Li Ran bit into his mouth is indeed a very rich longan flavor.

"Thank you." Li Ran put down the longan cake, turned around slightly, and thanked Mama Fu solemnly.

Her words, in order to tell her these words from the time she entered the weeping flower door, as well as the flowers, plants, mountains and stones in the outer courtyard.

"The girl is too polite, this is the business of the subordinates." Mama Fu was busy returning the courtesy.

……………………

The next morning, Li Ran had breakfast, took a book, and sat on the kang under the south window, seemingly concentrating on reading, but in fact absent-minded.

The rockery flowers and plants in the outer courtyard have obviously not yet been tailed, and the blue bricks on the ground in the main courtyard, on the four corners, are bulging very obviously, obviously after they came out, they didn't look at it, and they hurriedly pressed back.

No one had come to work at night, she slept very lightly, and the veils on the windows here were fine to block the wind, but not very good at blocking the sound, and if there was any movement, even the slightest hint, she would definitely be able to hear it.

It seems that this work was to be carried out while she was not in this courtyard.

Her plan for today was originally to go out after lunch, go to the Lotus Shed to listen to a new play in the Caixi class, and come back after listening to the good play, and eat here in the evening.

But if this is the case, I am afraid that today will not be able to do any work in this yard.

Mama Fu is an extremely self-disciplined and dedicated professional elite, which she can see. The front yard that has been half repaired, and the main yard that has been dug up and can only be pressed back indiscriminately, I don't care, I'm just afraid that she will look uncomfortable.

The elite are mostly obsessive-compulsive.

Well, let's go out so she can have time to finish those projects.

But where to go?

There are storytellers, but now that she has changed to a different person, she talks too exaggeratedly, which always makes her embarrassed from time to time, and it is uncomfortable to listen to, so forget it.

Shopping?

It seems that there is nothing to visit, besides, there are still a few days before the New Year, and the shops on the Mahang Street where she wants to see, those high-end jewelry and fur shops have not yet opened, and this is the same.

The current capital is actually not much to see.

The Spring Festival has just passed, and everyone is busy gathering up.

The drama troupe juggles or something, from the first day of junior high school to the sixteenth, and has been busy with the group.

I heard that in late February, Jin Mingchi began to rehearse martial arts, rehearsals and martial arts, and it lasted for a month, which was constantly lively. There is also the March 3rd Upper Ninth Festival in the middle.

From late February to the end of March, artists will be busy for at least a whole month.

These troupes, as well as all kinds of artists, were tired after earning enough money during the Spring Festival in the first year, and they had money to earn in the whole March in the future, but they were obviously not lightly tired, and they were free in the middle of the month, so they must have a good rest. Especially a famous artist like Momino.

Even the Caixi class, who was pouted by Tao Nong, said that the class owner was rooted in the eyes of money, and his family's drama is now only sung every other day.

There is nothing lively in the city, and at this time, people in the capital are busy running outside the city to go out of the city.

Well, she also went out of the city to take a trip.

Let's go to Jinmingchi, this time the spring mountain spring water is just right to see, yesterday I saw the spring mountain, today I went to see the spring water.

Besides, Jin Mingchi is far enough away, her car is very comfortable, even if Jin Mingchi is not worth going, she sits comfortably over, and then sits back comfortably, just as a car slip away, at noon, find a place to have a good meal, you can go to the lotus shed to listen to the big show.

That's it.

Li Ran put down the book, got up and got off the kang, and smiled at the little girl who had already come over and squatted down to put shoes on her: "I'm going to Jinmingchi, I'm going to listen to the play in the afternoon, and I'll come back for dinner." ”

Once she explained it clearly, they would be able to do it.

Mama Fu was taking Qiuyue to carefully inspect Li Ran's clothes in the wing room, dotting out which ones to be sent out for washing, which ones to be dismantled and then done, and which ones should be put away.

Li Ran's clothes today were picked by Mama Fu, I heard that Li Ran was going out, Mama Fu took the cloak that she had picked out a long time ago, put it on for Li Ran, and looked at it carefully again, very satisfied.

This girl is thin and weak, but her momentum is enough, this magenta silk thin cloak, worn on her body, there is no feeling of seeing people only in clothes, but it sets off her momentum.

Well, call the shopkeeper of Linglong Fang over for a while, and order more bright clothes for the girl, the little girl's house, it's not too plain.

Zhou E hurriedly came out of the backyard, passed by the gate of the courtyard, waved her hand to Mama Fu, and hurriedly ran to chase Li Ran.

Mama Fu stood at the gate of the courtyard, looking at Zhou E, who was running away, frowning slightly.

Zhou E is not prepared, so this girl is suddenly going out?

Go to Jinmingchi, where is there anything to see in Jinmingchi now?

Where did she go yesterday, she asked her, no one asked today, she said it first, and she explained it very clearly.

Mama Fu turned around and looked at the front yard that was only roughly placed, and the main courtyard that pried up the blue bricks.

She watched very carefully yesterday, and went out early this morning to make room for her, so that she could watch and clean up the yard?

I'm afraid that's it.

Mama Fu stood still, unable to say anything in her heart.

Does this consideration for others and lowly people originate from the bloodline of Emperor Renzong?

……………………

Jin Mingchi is still very deserted at this time, and the surrounding tea shops and wine shops are also closed.

Li Ran sat in a warm and comfortable car, the door and curtain were open, the coachman put the reins on the horse's back, and walked beside the horse with a whip.

Zhou E had already gotten out of the car, walked leisurely along the lake, with her hands behind her back, and from time to time she came down, picked up a small stone and threw it into the lake.

When passing by a tender green willow tree that hung deep into the lake, Zhou E stopped, looked up carefully, picked a tender willow branch, raised his hand and dragged it, twisted it, took off the bark, touched the knife from his waist, and cut out a willow flute in a moment, put it in his mouth, and blew one after another, the sound was crisp and loud.

Li Ran smiled, looked at Zhou E, looked at the sparkling Jinming Pond, and looked at the delicate new green by the lake, and was in a happy mood.

The Jinming Pond in front of you is beautiful.

At Zhou E's suggestion, the two entered the city from Wanshengmen, went to Banlou for lunch, drank a few cups of tea, and went out to Liva.
