Chapter 140, Thoughtful

After waiting for about a minute or two, just when Yan Yan thought that there was no one inside, he finally heard movement, and a man in his thirties opened the door.

"Who are you?" The man looked at Yan Yan very vigilantly.

"Our master used to be the eldest lady of the Hou Yan family in Dingnan, and now she is the eldest grandmother of the Zhenguo Mansion, this house was given to us by the emperor, are you looking at the house?" Qinghe stepped forward and said.

"Miss Yan?" After the other party finished speaking, he looked at Yan Yan, and then looked at the carriage parked at the door, and saw that it was indeed the emblem of the Lu family, so he hurriedly opened the door.

"Back to the master, the little one is here to watch the door, and someone told the little one a month ago that when you come and take over this place, the little one will move out." The man bowed to Yan Yan and replied.

"What did you do before?" Yan Yan asked as he stepped through the door.

On both sides of the gate is the gatehouse, and the courtyard walls on both sides are connected to the inverted seats, and at first glance it is the place where the next person lives, no, hearing the movement, soon came out of the house a woman in her thirties and three children, two boys and a girl, the eldest is about twelve or thirteen years old, the middle one is ten years old, and the youngest is a girl, only five or six years old.

Listening to the introduction of the man next to him, his surname is Zhou, his name is Zhou Haisheng, those people are his wife and children, he is the prince Li Ji from the Zhuangzi to find the temporary guard, and let him help take a good look at where the house needs to be repaired and tidyed, because he is a plasterer.

Actually, if you really want to talk about it, this mansion has only been idle for three years, and the reasoning time is not long, there should be nothing bad, but the problem is that this mansion has been lived in before Li Yao, and it seems that he is also a county lord, but it is the previous generation, and the county lord seems to have no descendants, so this mansion will be taken back and given to Li Yao, therefore, in terms of age, this mansion should not be short.

"In this case, you can take a few of us for a walk, and by the way, introduce the purpose of each courtyard of this mansion." Yan Yan said to Zhou Haisheng.

Zhou Haisheng answered, and led everyone to walk along the road, on both sides of the road were two rows of tall trees, because it was winter, the leaves had fallen, bare, and Yan Yan couldn't recognize what the tree was.

Walk five or six meters along the middle road, it is a small three halls, there are four circle chairs and a few high on both sides of the middle room, at first glance it is a temporary resting place for the visiting guests to wait for the master to meet, there is a set of eight immortal tables and chairs in the east room, it is said that it is a place for guests to prepare temporary posts or notes, in addition there are four circle chairs, it is a place for temporary guests, the west room is relatively simple, there is a kang and a small kang table, it is said that it is for the night shift duty person to live.

Out of the hall, and then walk three or four meters, the square is the instrument door, there are also gatehouses on both sides of the instrument door, the gatehouse is on both sides of the hand-copying verandah, both sides of the verandah have a round small door leading to the inner courtyard, facing the door is five neat and wide upper rooms, this is the place of daily guests and discussions, Yan Yan pulled Lu You into the upper room, the middle hall is placed with a new set of circle chairs and high tables, the long table and the table are also complete, but there are no furnishings.

According to Zhou Haisheng, these furniture were all sent in by Li Ji one after another this month, and they were all new, as for those furnishings and ornaments, Li Ji said that he kept them for Yan Yan to arrange by himself, after all, this is Yan Yan's home.

Yan Yan was moved when he heard this, and this favor was too much to be owed.

But then again, it is estimated that Li Ji is also to repay her kindness for saving Li Xi, after all, these things are too insignificant compared to Li Xi's life, thinking of this, Yan Yanfu felt relieved again.

"By the way, you just said that you are a plasterer?" Yan Yan thought of the fireplace he wanted.

"Back to the master, yes."

"Well, tomorrow I'll send someone to send you some drawings, and you can help me build a few stoves." Yan Yan glanced at the house, it seemed that the amount of work to transform it into a hollow wall was too large, and the fireplace was relatively simple.

A group of people passed through the back door while talking, and they were faced with a stone carving shadow wall of landscape painting, and they turned the shadow wall to see the hanging flower door, which was the inner courtyard.

Because there were too many rooms and too many places, Yan Yan couldn't turn around for a while, so he ordered Zhou Haisheng to give a brief introduction.

This is a five-entry courtyard, not counting the main house compound in front, there are twelve large and small courtyards in the inner courtyard alone, and there is a back garden, the back garden covers an area of five or six acres, and the whole house covers an area of less than twenty-five acres.

Yan Yan listened to the silent calculation, not to mention what the county lord lived in this house, just this place and this area, as well as the buildings and furniture in the house, this house could not be bought without fifty or sixty thousand taels of silver.

Because it was late, Yan Yan was worried that she would be trained if she went back late, so she dispelled the idea of going to the back garden, but she still pulled Lu You to the main courtyard where the two lived to take a look, it was also a row of five upper rooms, with a side room and left and right wings on each side, to Yan Yan's surprise, Li Ji actually prepared the wardrobe, Bogu frame and screen for her, which was equivalent to moving in with a bag.

For some reason, coming out of this mansion, Yan Yan obviously felt that Lu You was silent a lot, and there seemed to be a little melancholy between his eyebrows.

After getting into the carriage, Yan Yan took the initiative to hold his hand, "Husband, what do you say is the name of this mansion, and the small courtyards inside, should there also be a name?" ”

"It's up to you." Lu You was obviously not interested.

"Husband, are you worried that the feng shui of this mansion is not good, or are you afraid that you will not be blessed if you exceed the rules?" Yan Yan asked directly.

"You..." Lu You opened his mouth to say something, but suddenly closed his mouth.

Yan Yan thought that he had committed another stutter, so he didn't take it to heart, but continued to persuade him: "Don't worry, husband, I am a person who has died once, and I will definitely be able to suppress this house, as for exceeding the rules, it shouldn't be a big problem, right?" My father once made a lot of military exploits for the Great Zhou Dynasty and gave his life for it, and I also saved the life of the emperor's eldest grandson for His Royal Highness the Prince, the emperor once jokingly said that he would give me a county lord title, so that I would not be despised if I married into the Lu family, but I refused, because I felt that the name was not right, so ah, husband, it depends on you whether I can be named a decree. ”

Hearing this, Lu You held Yan Yan's hand and used some strength, struggled for a while, and then replied, "Okay." ”

The look on Lu You's face finally caught Yan Yan's attention, "Husband, do you have any other questions?" ”

Lu You looked at Yan Yan and stopped talking.

Seeing this, Yan Yan guessed that what the other party wanted to say was definitely not a trivial matter, but the carriage was obviously not the place to speak, so he didn't ask any questions.
