The overall layout of Yiyuan is centered on the Red Lake, with buildings of different shapes and heights built near the water, with lush mountains and forests, which is quite rich in Jiangnan interest.

The pavilions and pavilions in the garden, the rockery and flowing water, the beautiful trees and flowers, can sit, can lie, can swim, can appreciate, and can do the most exquisite and elegant things.

The two guest rooms in Yiyuan are actually two buildings, located at the back of the house, one east and one west, built around the lake, the east is the Changyi Pavilion, the west is the Shuiyun Building, all of which are rare two-storey small buildings in the north. The cornices are high, the low column is curved back, standing near the window, rockery, pool, weeping willow, begonia, green bamboo, it is a good place to sit and watch quietly. piece

Two restaurants, located in the red lake in the south of the garden, a pavilion and a pavilion, across the lake are opposite each other, and reflected in the clear lake water, spring flowers, autumn months, summer cool breeze, winter clear snow, quiet and elegant.

In the Yanbo Pavilion, Yan Songyuan and Shen Ping stood by the window and talked in a low voice.

Yan Sixteen leaned on the Duobao Pavilion and was silent in thought.

……

Chihirokaku.

Xu Hongyuan, Du Tianxiang, Xiao Han were leisurely drinking tea, waiting for all kinds of scoundrels.

Du Tianxiang glanced at the hourglass and said impatiently: "The person who invited the guests ran away without a trace, leaving a few of us as guests aside, is this like words?" ”

"The second brother is on the other side, you have the guts, you go and call Sixteen back!" Xiao said coldly.

Du Tianxiang shrank his head and laughed dryly.

"What am I going to do with the guts and sitting here waiting for? Why don't you go? ”

Xiao Han was about to reach out for the teacup, but instantly froze in mid-air.

Seeing this, Xu Hongyuan smiled and said, "You sit for a while, I'll come when I go!" ”

Du Tianxiang said: "Ah Yuan, you won't be going to call Sixteen, right?" ”

Xu Hongyuan exclaimed: "Forget it, it's better to keep my life." Xin Yao and her sister-in-law are here today, I'm afraid they have already sat down at this time, I'll take a look. ”

Du Tianxiang hurriedly said: "Don't, what's the matter of leaving the two of us here?" I'm going to go together. What a coincidence, everyone is complete today. ”

Xu Hongyuan hesitated: "This, it's not suitable." Xin Yao is a woman in the boudoir in the end, and she doesn't like to see outsiders......"

Du Tianxiang said with a smile: "It's not an outsider, it's not that I haven't seen her, it just so happens that I have something important to look for her." Go, will go! ”

Xiao Han smiled: "Is it possible, you really want to propose marriage, Yinggui to that girl, agreed?" ”

Du Tianxiang said: "What does it matter if she agrees or not?" She is Miss Four's person, Miss Four only needs to say one word, is it possible that she still dares to resist the Lord? Go, go, go. ”

Xiao Han saw that Xu Hongyuan was embarrassed. said with a smile: "Ah Yuan, there is no defense when you see it, the fourth lady has never been a person who twists, otherwise, she would not have taken over Jinjue Pavilion." ”

Xu Hongyuan smiled: "This is also true!" ”

……

In the Smoke Wave Pavilion. The maids had just put the dishes on the table, poured them full of wine, saluted the guests, closed the door gently, and withdrew.

The three of them chatted for a long time, but their stomachs were already empty, and they were not polite. Raise a glass and drink it all.

As soon as Shen Pingcai entered his mouth, he frowned.

Seeing this, Yan Songyuan hurriedly said: "Old Shangshu, but the dishes are not appetizing?" ”

Shen Ping shook his head, but did not speak, and picked up the chopsticks. I took a bite of each dish, and my brow furrowed even tighter.

Yan Shuyuan raised his eyebrows: "Sixteen, what's going on?" ”

Yan Sixteen hurriedly picked up a chopstick dish, put it in his mouth, and tasted it for a long time. Cai said: "Second brother, it's delicious, don't believe it, can you try it?" ”

Shen Ping sighed: "The old man hasn't eaten such a delicious dish for two years, dare to ask the sixth prince, who is in charge of the kitchen?" Who is the owner of this garden? ”

Yan Sixteen hesitated for a long time, secretly turned a few corners, and just wanted to speak, but heard Shen Ping say: "Sixth prince don't have to be embarrassed, I also ask casually." How much silver is this table of dishes? ”

Yan Sixteen said inexplicably: "Today's table, eight dishes, one soup and one pot of wine, five hundred and sixty taels of silver!" ”

Shen Ping smiled and said nothing: "It's very expensive, looking at the way this dish is made, it looks like I've eaten it before!" ”

Yan Songyuan stared at Sixteen, but said to Shen Ping: "Old Shangshu, but the old man?" ”

Shen Ping laughed, but glanced at Yan Sixteen: "I can't talk about it, come and come, eat vegetables, eat vegetables, when it's cold, there will be no original taste." ”

Yan Songyuan suspiciously picked up a piece of duck meat with chopsticks and put it in his mouth, only to feel that the meat was delicious, fat but not greasy, his lips and teeth were fragrant, and his taste was endless, so he couldn't help but say: "Sixteen, this duck meat is very delicious, how to do it?" ”

Yan Sixteen faced the two old foxes, how could he have an appetite? I just want to slip away, but I can't take a step, I pour myself a drink depressedly, listen to the question, and hurriedly say: "Second brother, don't underestimate this sauce duck meat, this marinated duck juice is very different, it is said that it is still specially brought from the south of the old marinade, the duck is just sent from the Zhuangzi to kill, and this duck only eats fish and shrimp on weekdays." ”

Yan Songyuan let out a soft 'oh' and said, "So exquisite? ”

Shen Ping said with a smile: "Not only is it so exquisite, just this old marinade, I'm afraid it's been some years, at least six or seven years, if it is put on the table for a few more decades, I'm afraid that this duck meat will taste better!" ”

Yan Songyuan praised: "Lao Shangshu also has a lot of research on dishes! Over the years, I'm afraid I've eaten a lot of good things, right? ”

Shen Ping stroked his beard and said: "The second son has won the award, the old man and I, I can only eat, not talk about research." Sixth young master, I'm afraid that your friend can not only eat, research, but also cook good dishes, old man, am I right? ”

Yan Sixteen saw that Shen Ping was smiling with a cunning face, and he hated it in his heart. If he dared to confess the fourth lady, he was afraid that someone would never look at him again in his life.

Thinking of this, Yan Sixteen hurriedly said: "Old Shangshu, eat vegetables, eat vegetables!" ”

That Shen Ping smiled, and he didn't break it.

While speaking, the steward of Yanbo Pavilion knocked on the door and said, "Young Master Yan, your two friends are dining in the garden for the first time, and I specially sent a plate of dim sum for the second master to taste, I wish the second master a happy meal." If you need anything, just tell the little ones! ”

Yan Sixteen coughed lightly and said, "Put it down, a table over there can be a table?" ”

The steward set up the dishes and replied, "I heard that there are no yet, so they all went to the Hefeng Pavilion!" ”

Yan Sixteen was relieved, waved his hand, and the steward stepped forward.

Yan Songyuan asked, "Who is Hefeng Pavilion?" ”

"A few friends, second brother, Lao Shangshu, come, I'll toast you."

Yan Songyuan glanced at Sixteen suspiciously, raised his glass and drank it all!

……

Let's go back and talk about Jiang Xinyao and Jiang Quan. Yan Ming walked around the garden for half an hour, returned to the Lotus Wind Pavilion, and saw that her mother had already drunk a cup of tea, and was busy asking Li's mother to pass the food.

Gu Shi took the handkerchief handed by Chunlan. Carefully helped her daughter wipe her rain-stained clothes, and said angrily: "You made this garden, it suits my heart, turn around, I want to come often!" ”

Xin Yao smiled: "Turn around, I'll ask someone to prepare a bedroom for my mother, okay?" ”

Gu just wanted to speak, but he heard someone outside say in a loud voice: "Miss, Master Quan has brought Young Master Xu and a few here!" ”

Xin Yao's face froze: "Why are they here?" ”

Gu Shi smiled: "But the third master is here, quickly invite someone in to talk!" Don't fret. My mother came this time and wanted to meet him, who was a brother after all. ”

Xin Yao sighed: "Mother, he is not alone, there is a difference between men and women. ”

Gu smiled meaningfully: "They are all good brothers of your little uncle." Even if you are your elders, you can't defend yourself when you see them, these years, thanks to their care, I'm a sister-in-law, I should thank others anyway! ”

Jiang Xinyao had no choice but to lower her eyes and snort coldly secretly: "What a broken elder." ”

Xu Hongyuan and the three of them entered the Hefeng Pavilion. On the chair near the window, two women sat on the left and right.

Xu Hongyuan hurriedly stepped forward and saluted the Gu family: "Hongyuan meets my sister-in-law!" ”

Gu Shi got up slowly, and said, "The third master doesn't have to be polite, I often hear Xin Yao mention you, and I finally met today." Yao'er, don't come to see your little uncle yet! ”

Jiang Xinyao got up, but did not salute, looked Xu Hongyuan up and down, and said, "Little uncle." I haven't seen you for a long time, but my complexion is very good, it seems that it is the water of Yiyuan that nourishes people! Little uncle, when are you going to move back? Your building, vacant, I can still earn three thousand taels of silver a month. ”

As soon as these words came out, Jiang Quan and Yan Ming both laughed secretly.

Xu Hongyuan said in his heart that his niece must have annoyed him and brought outsiders here, so he hurriedly smiled and said: "Good niece, don't do it, since my mother died, only a flower and a grass, a mountain and a water in Yiyuan can comfort my heart." After that, secretly facing Du, Xiao and the others made a look.

Du Tianxiang and Xiao Han each stepped forward and hugged their fists and said, "Second wife, fourth lady." ”

"These are my two friends, and they happen to be together in Yiyuan today, so I came to say hello to my sister-in-law! Sister-in-law, this is Du Tianxiang, the history of the Tai Hospital, and this is Xiao Han, the commander of the Soldiers and Horses! ”

Seeing that they were two young talents, Gu Shi only felt that his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly replied: "Thank you two sons for taking care of the third master on weekdays, please sit down, Chunlan, watch tea." ”

Xin Yao glanced at Du Tianxiang thoughtfully. In the urgency of the day, Xin Yao did not see the two in front of her clearly, and when she saw her again today, Xin Yao felt that these two were different. Only that Du Tianxiang took charge of the Tai Hospital at a young age, which can be seen from this......

After the people sat down, Gu said: "Third master, Xin Yao has told me about your affairs, and the sister-in-law next to me can't help much, I just hope that you will act carefully in the future, and one day, you will call me sister-in-law in a dignified manner." The second master, not to mention it, is also worried about your brother in his heart. ”

Xu Hongyuan was shocked and moved: "Thank you, sister-in-law, it's just that it's not the time to recognize each other, and I ask my sister-in-law to keep it a secret for me." ”

Gu Shi smiled: "The third master just rest assured. I have to thank someone today, in front of Jinjue Pavilion that day, thanks to Xiao Gongzi for helping to delay time, Xiao Gongzi, thank you! ”

Xiao Han got up and said: "The second wife doesn't have to be polite, this is what I should do, in the future, wherever I can be useful, Xiao, the second wife just speaks!" ”

Du Tianxiang thought of Yinggui's stubborn girl, and after being unwilling, he also said: "Second wife, if there is a disease or pain in the future, just come to me in the hospital and report the name of the fourth lady!" Fourth Miss, there is something today, I want to ask Miss Fourth for a word. ”

"Du Gongzi doesn't have to be polite, please say."

Du Tianxiang rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "Fourth Miss, I want to take Ying as a concubine, you see ......"

Jiang Xinyao sneered in her heart, but she smiled on her face and said, "Du Gongzi, as long as Yinggui agrees to this matter, I will never object." ”

Du Tianxiang was overjoyed: "Fourth Miss, the warbler belongs to her ......" (..)
