"This courtyard is the most secluded, and it was built only a few years ago, and the house is larger than the others, and the beds, tables and chairs in it are all new. The most rare thing is that the yard is not big, and there are few people living in it, so it is much less noisy. Cao Li led them into a small courtyard.

Du Jinning took a look, and sure enough, this courtyard is located under a small hill, the mountain is full of green trees, the scenery is good, and there is a distance between this courtyard and another courtyard, and the environment is relatively quiet. Walking in, I saw that there seemed to be a craggy strange stone in the middle of the courtyard, lying horizontally in the courtyard, like a natural rockery, and some flowers and shrubs were planted around the strange rock. Because the strange stone occupies a wide area, and want to build a house here, so the houses in this courtyard are built in the gap between the strange stone and the mountain, three rooms in the east, four rooms in the west, three rooms in the south, the house between the east and west, the north and south of the house is also inserted into some houses, the courtyard surrounded by these houses is not as square as Xu Chengyuan's yard, it seems to be scattered. Because there are strange rocks and trees in the middle, there is no connection between them, and the secrecy is very good. Unlike Xu Chengyuan's side, the East House speaks, and the West House can hear it a little louder.

Du Jinning fell in love with this place at first sight.

"Can there be a vacancy in a place like this?" She turned her head and asked Cao Lidao.

"Hey, hey." Cao Li's smile was a little obscure, "The house here is not arranged for ordinary students. ”

Du Jinning and Qi Muyuan glanced at each other, and they both knew what he meant by this.

It seems that wherever you go, your status is hierarchical. If it weren't for the fox and the tiger, thanks to the blessings of Muyuan and Liang Xiankuan, Du Jinning would not have been able to live in such a courtyard.

"And how many people live in this courtyard now?" Liang Xiankuan asked.

"There are fifteen rooms here, and there are nine people living in total, not including the three ministers." Cao Li said.

"What are they?" Du Jinning asked, and stuffed another five coins of silver into the past.

Cao Lixi smiled, arched his hand to Du Jinning, and gave a detailed introduction to these nine people from their names to family backgrounds, personalities, and habits.

Originally, Xu Chengyuan was still a little unimpressed by Du Jinning's move of stuffing silver, and felt that Du Jinning's doing this would easily encourage Cao Li's unhealthy atmosphere. But now listening to Cao Li's shaking off the details of these people so cleanly, Du Jinning and them have a lot less trouble when they get along, he feels that the money is well spent, and the scholarly spirit that he insisted on before has begun to collapse, and he deeply feels that the way of doing things is sometimes a science.

Of course, he didn't realize it at this time. Later, he was admitted to the Jinshi and became a county order, and when dealing with the government affairs of the common people, as well as getting along with the officials like hobs, he was deeply grateful to Du Jinning for his influence in this regard, which made him take a lot of detours and make his career smoother. That's for later.

And Du Jinning and Qi Muyuan heard that there were Qi Siyu and Du Zheyan among these nine people, and they glanced at each other, and felt that the school life in this house could not be peaceful.

After Cao Li introduced the students inside, he shook the key and said, "Let's go, let's go in and have a look." ”

Leading everyone inside, he said, "Actually, there is a shortcoming in this courtyard. Xu Xianggong, did you see the courtyard? As soon as you enter the door, there is a corridor, and all the rooms can be walked along the corridor, but this courtyard is uneven, and the houses are also a few rooms in the east and a few in the west, so there is no way to build a corridor. If you want to run through the door when it rains, you need an umbrella. ”

"It doesn't matter." Du Jinning said, "We don't like to go to the door either. ”

When Cao Li heard this, he paused and explained: "There is one thing I have to explain to the three ministers, although there are six rooms left in this courtyard, only two are next to each other, and the rest of the rooms are relatively scattered. And the two rooms next to each other are not due east, west, and north. ”

He pointed to the room in front of him: "There is an empty room in front, but it is facing due east. If the three ministers are more concerned about the orientation, the rooms they live in are more scattered. ”

This made everyone frown again.

Everyone came together and were friends, so they naturally wanted to live together so that they could take care of each other.

Liang Xiankuan glanced at Du Jinning and Qi Muyuan, and said with a smile: "You two live next to each other, I live in a nearby room." ”

Du Jinning and Qi Muyuan were better at the beginning, and they were usually foursome with Guan Jiaze and Zhang Hongwen in Boyue Academy, but he was not included. Although he and Du Jinning appreciate each other and can be regarded as close friends, they are still a little worse than Qi Muyuan and Du Jinning. As for him and Qi Muyuan, they don't have much intersection with each other, and they play together because of Du Jinning.

Rather than making it inconvenient for the two of them to speak, it is better to take the initiative yourself.

Sure enough, as soon as he said this, Qi Muyuan immediately nodded in response: "Okay." He didn't worry about Du Jinning living alone.

Liang Xiankuan pursed his lips.

Although he said this on his own initiative, and even if he didn't mention it, he wanted to live next to each other. But Qi Muyuan's unshirkable and impatient appearance still made Liang Xiankuan a little unhappy.

Du Jinning looked at Liang Xiankuan's expression in his eyes and said with a smile: "Otherwise, if you two live together, I'll live separately." In order to show that she was not polite, and without waiting for the two to speak, she immediately added, "What I said is true." I have bad living habits, I don't like to clean up the house, smelly socks and throw them around, I live next door to Qi Muyuan, I'm afraid he can't stand it. ”

After speaking, she waved her hand: "It was decided so happily." ”

It's not that she's humble, but she really doesn't want to live next door to an acquaintance. She is in a special situation, so it's better to keep a little distance from people.

She was happy, but the other two were not.

If one of them was to be Du Jinning's neighbor, they would be very happy. The two of them can live on their own......

Qi Muyuan and Liang Xiankuan glanced at each other, and then looked away at the same time, neither of them was very happy.

Although everyone is a classmate, their conduct and personality are also very good, and they get along well together during this time, and there is no contradiction. Somehow, let the two of them leave Du Jinning as a medium and become friends by themselves...... It always feels like something isn't quite right.

Anyway, let them live next to each other and throw Du Jinning alone to the other side, it is absolutely impossible.

"It's not going to work." As soon as these words came out, both of them were stunned, looked at each other, and swallowed the rest of the words back, intending to let the other party speak first.

But the two of them were all fighting with the same idea, and in the end, neither of them opened their mouths, and the scene fell into an eerie silence for a while.

"Ha, why is the voice so familiar to me, it's really you." A voice suddenly came from not far away, and then a person jumped in front of everyone, grinning happily.
