Building a house and gardening is far more about not only the landscape, but also about the convenience of living in the house, such as the construction of the bathroom, there are many tricks. If it is divided into two rooms before and after, separated by a wall, one makes a fire to boil hot water, one uses a bath, the bathroom should be a dense shelter in order to keep warm, a well is dug near the wall and a roller is installed to lift water, a hole is drilled in the wall to lead the water in, and a small ditch is dug behind the bathroom to facilitate drainage These are the most basic requirements.

The Qingyuan Terrace was designated as a daily living place by the Orchid Pavilion before it was built, so the construction of the bathroom was much higher than the benchmark.

There is no bath in this room, but there is a wooden lattice, on which people can sit on the lattice, and the soup is boiling under it.

There is also a bath made of white stone, with a bamboo tube to divert water into it, a tube to lead hot water, a tube to lead cold water, if the water is cold, you can knock on the bamboo tube, let the waiter in the compartment add hot water, if the water is hot, then tap the other bamboo tube, the waiter will add cold water, although the bathroom is sealed, but there is still a window, and the window is also equipped with a wind wheel, which can ventilate the room but does not make people feel cold.

In short, it can not only meet the requirements of spring return for privacy, but also enjoy convenience.

After soaking in the fragrant soup, I only felt refreshed, and while the steam in the room had not dissipated, I didn't feel cold even if I was wearing only a middle coat, and I called the maid to dry her wet hair for her, and I returned to the bedroom after cleaning it up refreshingly.

The bathroom and the bedroom were connected by a verandah, but at this time it was not the season when the north wind was howling and the water was dripping into ice.

There are many unusual features in the construction of Qingyuan Terrace, such as the living room and the bedroom are not closely connected, and the back door of the living room is a small patio, in which flowers and plants are planted, a tank of water lilies is raised, and there are red fish swimming lazily under the green leaves.

The east side is the corridor for people to pass, the west side is built with the corridor room, the corridor room is for the maid to rest at night, between the bedroom and the corridor room, the bamboo pipe is set up, the steel ball is placed in the middle, if the master wants to call the maid to serve, you can gently pull the hanging rope in the room to start the machine, the steel ball will roll to the corridor room because of the difference in slope, just fall into the basin, touch the copper bell to make the maid perceive.

These details can only be foreseen by those who value privacy.

Chungui entered the outer room, only to see that there was no one, she knew that the Mei and Ju sisters who were on duty today should be nested in the corridor room, but at this time it was not so late at night that they were immediately settled, Chungui still wanted to talk and laugh with them for a while, and couldn't help muttering: "Ah Ju is just that, sometimes jumping out and sometimes lazy, Ah Mei is the most diligent person, she won't go to rest first if she doesn't see me go to bed, what's wrong today, is it possible that the road from the inner city to the suburbs is tired, and I can't stand sleepy?" ”

That's it, don't bother them, it's a big deal to light the lamp and read a book for a while.

When I got out of the outer room, I saw a person standing in the small patio, looking down at the water lily in the jar.

A man, of course, can't be someone else.

Until this time, the ignorant woman had not yet come to her senses, and she was just thinking that she could pass the time by talking and laughing with Lan Ting, so she pulled up a smile and walked over, and also looked down at the big porcelain jar: "At this time, it has just sprouted and grown leaves, and it has not yet reached the time to grow buds, what is there to appreciate?" ”

"Moon-watching."

When I returned to the spring, I saw the clear water in the tank, and a round of moon shadows was reflected.

"Enjoying the moon in the water, don't be really interested."

"The interest is not in the moon." Lan Ting suddenly appeared

laughing, so that the urn of still water seems to suddenly ripple.

"What's that?" Chungui was a little stunned, and I didn't know if it was because of the man's face or because of the question itself.

"People who are admiring the moon together."

Spring Return: Uh...... Uncle Zhao really came with sweet words, but it seemed that he was really pleased.

The two of them just lowered their heads and looked at the moon in a serious manner, as if this long night could be consumed with such interest, but the knees would protest, and the feet and necks were also a little interested.

"Tired?"

Chungui felt that he didn't say much, but he had been immediately seen by the perceptive Lan Ting.

"A little, but I'm just tired of standing, or let's go to the vast pavilion to sit and drink tea, and we can continue to enjoy the moon."

"There's no rush tonight." Lan Ting took Chun Gui's hand and took her to the bedroom: "Tomorrow, I invited a few friends to come here for a drink and talk, maybe there will be some busy, today is better to settle early." ”

Chun Guiyuan had never heard of a banquet tomorrow, so he asked, "How many people are there?" ”

"Six."

"Is there a female dependent?"

"None."

Spring Return: ......

Then she doesn't seem to have much to keep busy.

However, since Uncle Zhao opened his mouth, he probably planned to let her prepare the food herself, and Chun Gui also felt that this was indeed his scope of responsibility, and it did not belong to Uncle Zhao's unreasonable request, so she had no complaints about the proposal to settle earlier, she followed Lan Ting into the bedroom, and turned around to prepare to "send off guests": "Don't entertain friends tomorrow, you should also settle early." ”

Lan Ting raised his eyebrows: "Dare to disobey?" There is a wide coat of Lao Niangzi. ”

Spring Return: ......

"The small auspicious festival is full of moon, and we can't ...... Separate rooms all the time. Lan Ting's reminder was very reasonable.

It seems that this is indeed the case, Chun Gui thought that in fact, as early as a few days ago, Mother Song began to sigh and stop talking, I am afraid that she is worried that since she has expired and removed her clothes, she still lives in a separate room with Uncle Zhao.

But...... Is it too sudden to have sex like this, Chungui deeply thinks that he is still not ready.

She was so confused that Lan Ting was led into the end of the screen, and was shocked to find that the bed was actually hung with a vermilion gauze tent, spread out a hundred sons and thousands of grandchildren, and the light of the dragon and phoenix candles on the strip seemed to exceed the gorgeousness that the candle wick should be released, but it was clear that the bed tent quilt was not the furnishings in front of her when she entered the "review" in the next day, and the spring return was finally enlightened, it seems that Uncle Zhao had a plan, not a sudden consciousness.

"I don't like to be bound by the so-called etiquette, but I still very much agree with some secular customs, because these secular customs can often make things more ritualistic, and can also reflect that life is really happy and happy, in the past, I only regarded marriage and childbirth as an inevitable responsibility in this life, just like being born as the eldest grandson of Zhaomen, I can't shirk my grandfather's will to bear the rise and fall of the family and country."

Lan Ting got closer to the stunned woman, his tone seemed to be as calm as usual, he raised his arm slightly and gently placed his palm on Chungui's shoulder, he looked down at the woman who was bowing, his expression was calm and his eyebrows were stretched.

"But Huihui, because my parents' destiny is you, I have a completely different understanding of marriage, and there may be many things in the world that I have to complete

Life, but maybe only you are outside the mission, I want to spend this life with you, it is an expectation that has nothing to do with responsibility and morality, and having children with you is that even though we cannot escape life, old age, sickness and death, but our relatives who are connected by blood and blood can continue from generation to generation. They came to the world because of the true happiness of you and me, and we will also teach them the true meaning of marriage, so I would like to promise you this life, I don't know if you are willing? ”

Lan Ting seems to have enough patience to wait for Chungui's response, not because of her parents' orders and matchmakers' words, but because the person who promised her this life is him, I don't know if Gu Chungui is really willing to grow old with Zhao Lanting and have children.

He didn't want to be persecuted with any sense of responsibility or morality, because that's not what he was trying to.

Spring return is actually not without hesitation.

Because she didn't expect Lan Ting to ask so sincerely, she didn't know if she was willing to be with a person Yan Wan for the rest of her life, in addition to her responsibilities and morality. In the past, because of the difficult situation, she had no better choice except to marry the eldest grandson of the Taishi Mansion, she understood very well that her choice was both helpless and utilitarian, and later she became more and more familiar with Lan Ting, she was even more glad that what he brought to her was indeed to make the days of the wind and frost sword have a bright turn, but she seemed to have no way to answer, if she could have chosen at the beginning, would she still agree to marry someone she didn't know, if her parents are still safe, Will she change her life of living comfortably under the love of her parents because the other party is Zhao Lanting.

She thought she needed time to make sure of her heart.

Can you let me go a little longer?

The words were almost on her lips, but when she looked into those staring eyes, they froze again.

At this moment, Chun Gui clearly felt the unbearable emotion, she didn't want to see the slightest look of disappointment from those clear eyes, and suddenly realized that when did she start to swing between Lan Ting and her parents?

Originally, on the one hand, it was a rock-solid flesh and blood relationship, but on the other hand, it was an unpredictable love between men and women, if according to her temperament, shouldn't she unswervingly choose the former?

If it were someone who was not Zhao Lanting, she would indeed not hesitate at all.

He has also become the person she cherishes in her life.

She looked at those eyes and said, "I don't know if my heart is like a king's heart, but I have never regretted my decision that day, so I spend my life together, and I am willing to ...... at present."

Before the words fell, when the word "willing" had just come out, the kiss couldn't wait to seal his lips and tongue, Chungui only felt that his heart seemed to be tied by silk threads at some point, and at this time he was pulled up, the whole person became fluttering, and the soles of her feet couldn't focus at all, she closed her eyes, and all the senses seemed to be more acute in the dark, she could feel the arm wrapped around her waist gradually heating up, and she could also feel Lan Ting's gradually rapid and chaotic breath, and this deep and long, still with a little restraint kiss did not cause her any discomfort, Her hand also boldly circled his neck, and then her body hung in the air.

Lan Ting's body is boiling with blood, but he is still not impatient and endures, he thinks that such a beautiful night must be remembered for the rest of his life, and he also hopes to give the spring return is the same good memory, and when they are pale and pale and old, how many past events have been hazy, and when the moonlight is in the west window, what has never been forgotten is this day**, Yan Wan is happy.

He sat on the edge of the bed, let Chungui sit on his lap, and continued to kiss until at last he was unbearable, hugging each other and lying in the tent.
