This Beizi Mansion was largely rebuilt according to the drawings, and many of them followed the pattern of the original old house, and even many places were preserved, only slightly renovated. The most rare thing is that there are many old trees, mainly pines and cypresses, and some peach and plum locusts, so compared with other newly built mansions, it can be called green trees sprouting here, but it saves years of effort to cultivate trees.

Compared with the drawings, there are only a few more houses on the edge of the small garden in the west, and a small courtyard separated by three walls, but it is where Luo Gonggong's master and apprentice live. This place is located between the outer house and the inner house, which is also compatible with the identity of Luo's father-in-law, and it is also because he is physiologically different from Xiao Lanzi, so as not to be embarrassed in front of others in life. And there is a side gate not far from this small courtyard, which makes it easier for them to enter and exit. Tong Ying specially asked someone to arrange it like this, and it also had the intention of sympathizing with the two gentlemen and the two guards who lived in the West First Courtyard. Of course, there is a special person in charge of guarding.

Three large courtyards on the middle road, the front yard is used for meeting guests and directors, the west chamber is the outer study, and it is also the place where Shijiang two activities, and the east chamber is Tongying's studio, all three rooms are opened, bright and broad, only with a round cover and a little interval with Duobaoge, a few big cases, many picture scrolls, the most complete painting tools, there is a small patio behind the house, a deep well and a ditch, which is specially used for the water of Tongying's painting and painting and the drainage of cleaning utensils.

The next main courtyard is where Shuning lives, in addition to the three main rooms and the two ear rooms where Yahuan lives, the east wing is the inner study used by Shuning, and the utility room is the toilet. The big house in the west wing is empty, and the furniture and supplies are complete, and the more special thing is that there are two kangs. Originally, Shuning thought that this was a living room similar to the south wing in her own small courtyard in Fangshan Villa, but later found out that it was not. It is very likely that this is the place where the grandmothers who are waiting for the attendants to live, but because Tongying and herself don't like it, they are placed elsewhere and this room is vacated. Next to it, there is a stove, which is the kitchenette.

The third courtyard was empty, and several large rooms were used to store large pieces of furniture, tables, chairs, screens, etc., which could also be changed during the change of seasons.

There are four small courtyards in the east and west, except for the west courtyard, where the two gentlemen Shi Jiang lived, and there were two guards' rooms, the west second courtyard is also a place to store things. However, it is the things that Shuning marryed, and there are some porcelain decorations and the like, which are originally in Beizi's mansion, and there is a special person to guard here, so as not to let someone take the sheep by the hand.

Shuning saw it, and planned to pack up the things for the dowry when she was free, and put the valuables in the main courtyard, Tongying was very much in favor, and she was particularly interested in the few calligraphy and paintings she brought, and she wanted to take them out immediately. Shuning glanced at him and said, "Okay, things won't run, you said you wanted to go shopping with me." Tongying touched her head and smiled at her. In the end, Shuning still asked someone to call Holly and send the painting to the inner study first.

The two courtyards on the east side, except for the first courtyard on the east side, which is a guest room, the second courtyard on the east side is empty, and at the moment it is only equipped with beds and furniture. Shuning asked, and Tongying said: "I have many younger brothers, and seeing that they are all older, maybe they will all come to the capital." If they are bored in the palace, let them come and relax. Didn't you say you wanted Xianning to learn some boxing from Uncle Ji? We can also let him live here. This courtyard is for relatives and families to settle down. ”

It's good to think about it, although the Baron's Mansion is not far away, but it is not as convenient as living here, not only can Brother Xian'er come to live, but even if there is a need in the future, he can also take his mother to live.

Although the rooms and decorations in this courtyard are boyish, it is not impossible to live with women. She made a secret note of it.

The front house is almost that big, and after the three courtyards, you can reach the back garden through a small courtyard between the two rows of back cover houses. Unlike other gardens that also have gate archways, this is the garden through the Moon Cave Gate, and only the two rooms on the side can be used as a place for night.

As soon as I entered the garden, I saw a small lake, which was in the shape of an olive horizontally, and Tong Ying took Shuning's hand and walked to the right. The eaves of the pavilion and the roof of the house are faintly exposed in the forest.

The lake is not deep, and there is a gentle slope on the shore, and the ground is covered with half-yellow grass. Two tall locust trees, to say the least of which are older, are erected on the meadow by the lake. Shuning walked over, stepped on the grass, felt soft and comfortable, and said with a smile: "When the weather is warm, let's go under the tree, lay out a few mats, and read and chat next to each other, do you say okay?" Tongying smiled and helped her straighten her sideburns: "Okay, you also said in the letter that you can fly a kite, I have asked someone to buy a few good ones, and when the wind blows, we will fly them." ”

Shuning didn't expect him to remember, his heart was sweet, and when he saw a house in the distance, he took the initiative to take his hand and go over there, and Tongying followed with a smile.

There was a small stream in front of it, only three feet wide, but there was a small stone bridge, and when you stepped on the bridge deck, you could see finger-sized fish swimming around. Shu Ning smiled: "Do you want to build a bridge here? You can easily cross the bridge by placing a stone in the middle of the water, and the bridge looks like a toy. ”

Tong Ying said: "Originally, I thought so, but in the summer, the water rose and flooded the stones, and the people passing by were embarrassed, so I had to ask someone to build this bridge." If you want to play, ask someone to put two rocks over you. When the time comes, you can go wherever you like. Shuning couldn't help but smile dumbly, and pulled him to the front room.

The room was quite large, and there were two rooms next to each other on the left, each of which seemed smaller than the other. The largest room has six doors open, and there is a plaque hanging on the door, on which the words "Yihe Xuan" are written. The layout of the room is like a combination of a living room and a study. There are arhat beds and kang tables, as well as bookshelves and bookcases, a large case, three or four porcelain jars on the ground around, and two of them also contain a lot of scrolls, which are obviously prepared for Tongying's practice. There are also two stoves in the corner.

Tong Ying said: "What do you think of here?" I watched them clean up, and I got tired of living in front of them, so we moved here, and we could do whatever we wanted, but it was better than living in front and just looking at those trees. Shuning looked around and liked it here, but she still had some questions: "Then where do we sleep?" Do you sleep in an Arhat bed? It's okay in normal times, but it's cold in winter, right? "It's like the pillow pavilion in the house book, and it can't be inhabited in winter.

Tong Ying smiled and pulled her to the left, bypassing the blue gauze cupboard, but it was a smaller room. It turns out that these three rooms are connected. There is a big kang in this room, and there are small cabinets and boxes next to it, and thick mattresses are spread, which is warm when you look at it. Tong Ying said a few words in Shuning's ear, Shuning smiled secretly and slapped him a few times, and her heart was also a little moved.

Tong Ying led her and continued to walk left, but after passing through a small door, she came to a smaller room, which was different from Fang Cai's room, and placed a Huanghuali Moon Cave Door Cover Shelf Bed. Hung with hibiscus light gauze tent and spread with bamboo mats. Most of the utensils around are made of bamboo and wood, and even the windows are larger, and the latest chapter of the Journey of the Line of Fire through Destiny blows in a gust of wind, which makes people feel extraordinarily cold.

Tong Ying said: "This is the summer residence, I am impatient to ask people to change things, so I simply built two rooms out, the only one is a warm house, this is a cool room, we will change the residence according to the weather, how about it?" ”

Shuning couldn't help but laugh: "It's good, I've never heard of this." Tongying didn't care: "Then start with me." There are many places in this garden where people can live, we can live wherever we like, change places when we are bored, and change our mood from time to time. Shu Ning smiled and pulled him out of the verandah outside the house, and saw that there were many lotus flowers planted on the lake in front of him, but in late autumn, they all withered, so he said: "There are some lotus flowers planted on the lake in front of the water pavilion of Fangshan Mountain." Tong Ying smiled: "I'm used to seeing that, and I want to get a piece in my own house." ”

He dragged Shuning along the verandah. This verandah has a pink and white wall on one side, and there are various opening windows on the wall, some are plum blossom-shaped, some diamond-shaped, some are pentagonal, and some are round square, and through the carved panes, you can see the trees planted behind. Shuning recognized that there were peach and plum trees in it, so she smiled and said, "It's good, we can also eat the fruit grown in the garden next summer." Tong Ying smiled: "You can still see tweed in the spring, I always remember the forest in your garden, the flowers bloom in the spring, like a colorful cloud, it's really beautiful." ”

Shuning tilted her head to look at him: "If you like it, when spring comes, let's find a free time to go over and stay for a few days." ”

"Is that okay?"

"Yes, Xiaobao is now going to school in Beijing, Aunt Liu goes back to live with him, and only the stewards and servants are left in Fangshan. Let's just say that I went to live in the Zhuangzi where I married, and it wasn't far away anyway. "It's a great place for a holiday. Tong Ying's face yearned for her, which made Shuning laugh.

At the end of the corridor is a water pavilion, which is really similar to the Pillow Xia Pavilion, and even the layout inside is very similar. On the first floor is a study living room, and on the second floor is a bedroom. What is more special is that there is also an identical attic on the opposite side of the lake, which faces each other. When I asked Tongying, I learned that the name of the room was Panlou, and this room was Wangge, with the same arrangement. Shuning felt that she liked this place more than Fang Cai's Yi Hexuan, and since there were also beds here, it seemed that it was very convenient to come and live.

There is a vacant lot in front of the pavilion, planted with many willow trees, a small arch bridge, connecting a small square pavilion, the pavilion side, the curved ruler bridge leads to the front of the Pan Tower. To the west of the Wangge, there is another room, which is a bit like the Linyuan Pavilion of the book, but Tongying said that it is the Bijing Pavilion, and further west under the verandah, there is a gate that leads to the edge of the pond. There is also a small boat next to the museum, which can accommodate two people, but if you want to play, you can only play on the side of the bridge.

Shuning asked why, and Tongying said: "The arch bridge is too small, if you want to cross under the bridge, people have to bend down very low, and besides, the water is shallow over there, and the ship will sink further on, so if you want to play, you can play here." ”

Shuning nodded, pulled him to jump onto the bridge, and ran to the pavilion gently, feeling the wind blowing from all sides, a little cold, and couldn't help but shiver: "If only it were spring and summer, but autumn and winter are too cold." Tongying hugged her, kissed her, and said, "If I hold you, it won't be cold." Shu Ning blushed slightly, looked left and right, and saw that there were only the two of them around, so she didn't push him away.

There were also many willow trees planted at the end of the bridge, and Shuning noticed that there were some shorter flowers and trees here, but they were jasmine, and there were only a few residual flowers left, and the others were gone. Seeing this, Tong Ying smiled slightly: "I like jasmine flowers the most on weekdays, but I can't find more, otherwise the garden would have been full of them." Shuning said, "Since you like it, why don't you tell me?" We planted a lot of seeds in the garden of Fangshan, and the seeds were easy to obtain, so we would ask someone to send them when we turned around. It's just that now is not a good time to plant. Tongying said: "It's okay, it's sent to Changping Zhuangzi, and the seedlings are now being raised over there." He looked up not far away and said softly, "There's a room over there, I like it the most, and you can take a look." With that, he pulled her over Panlou and walked to the northwest.

This place is very different from the place I passed before, there are many bamboos planted, not a single other tree, and a house is built with bamboo in the forest, and the tables, chairs, tables, beds, screens, bookshelves, and cups and plates are made of bamboo. Although it doesn't suit the current season, it's a great place to cool off in the summer.

Shuning said in surprise: "This is the real cool room, you can compare Yi and Xuan to the other side." Tong Ying raised his chin: "Of course, when the weather is the hottest, we will come here to live!" Shu Ning looked around, and hesitated: "There are a lot of mosquitoes in summer, the doors and windows here are hollowed, and the lunch break is just poured, but it is not good to spend the night at night." "It's close to the water, there are a lot of flowers and trees, and the mosquitoes must be very bad.

Tong Ying said: "Just hang up the tent, burn some mosquito repellent incense, and let Luo Yanda cook, he is the best at these." Then he picked up the bamboo and wood carvings on the shelves, and told in detail how he had changed them, and after a long while, they both came out again.

They walked slowly back to the garden gate, and when we admired the lake, flowers and plants, Shuning only felt relaxed and happy, and couldn't even feel the chill in the wind.

Tongying asked softly, "Shu'er, what do you think of this garden?" How's it going at home? Do you like it? Shuning smiled and rested her head on his shoulder and whispered, "I like it very much, I like it everywhere." ”

In the days that followed, the two of them were almost inseparable, like sugar and honey. Tongying handed over the envoy of the Ministry of War, and now she is newly married, and she is not entangled in mundane things, so she stays at home every day, and reads, writes, paints and chats with Shuning. He also specially taught Shuning the skills of painting, although the results were average, but it increased the intimacy between the two, and the life was happy.

It was the first time since Shuning tried such a sweet day, and although she was shy, she cherished it very much. She cooks for Tongying almost every day, and sometimes Tongying will help her with her or order food, although she is tired, but she is also happy.

Tong's Zhenzhen sent someone to send things over every nine days, sometimes for food, sometimes for supplements, and Shuning often sent them back. It didn't take long for Tong to go back to Baoding. Although Shuning felt a little regretful, she didn't think much about it when she thought that her parents would return to Beijing to report on their work soon.

However, as juniors, the couple have to go back to Prince Jian's mansion every few days to ask for peace, so naturally they will inevitably have to deal with Jifujin and Guerjia. Shuning got along with them a lot, and secretly wondered. Recently, Jifujin and they often asked her to accompany her, sometimes to speak, sometimes to call the troupe to listen to the play, although Shuning suspected that they were trying to win over themselves, but the other party did not say it clearly, and she did not send the east and west at every turn, she is not good at guessing, but the attitude of the Guerjia clan is getting worse and worse, and even sometimes she is very rude to Tongying, which makes her very angry.

She couldn't help but ask Tong Ying, why was the Guerjia clan so hostile to them?
