Chapter 48: Visiting the Garden
The clouds covered the sun, and the sky was overcast.
Shen Ye turned over and dismounted, stood at the door of the cold feeling, and looked at the carved and painted new Thorn History Mansion.
"What is Brother Ji Yuan doing here?" Li Bozhou stepped forward and asked with a smile.
Xu Qinghe suppressed all the emotions in his heart, bent down and saluted: "The folk girl has seen Lord Shen. ”
Shen Ye heard the voices of the two and turned sideways, and saw the woman standing beside Li Bozhou, wearing a light purple wide-sleeved dress, beautiful and elegant, and the gray sky was much brighter......
"I'll take a look at the new mansion." Shen Ye replied, looked at the woman's lowered eyebrows, smiled and said, "I know that Xu's Mansion is next door today, and I will ask Miss Xu to take care of me in the future." ”
Xu Qinghe hurriedly responded: "Lord Shen's words are serious, it should be the people's daughter, thank you for your care." Adjacent to your mansion, the humble house is full of luxury, and it doesn't look simple and vulgar......"
Li Bozhou laughed loudly when he heard it, "How did the little brother hear the horse behind Master Thorn Shi snort?" Would you like my cousin to go over and take a picture? ”
Xu Qinghe was teased by his brother-in-law and turned red, and hatefully gave him a white eye.
Shen Ye held back a smile, coughed lightly, and said, "Wen Yan is willing to go with me to see this new house?" ”
Li Bozhou immediately replied, "Of course I do!" The younger brother wants to see if this house is more upscale than the county government......"
looked at Xu Qinghe again, smiled and asked, "Cousin, do you want to go and watch it together?" If you want to enter the Assassin's Mansion in the future, it will not be so easy. ”
Shen Ye took the opportunity to look over, and Wen Yan asked, "Miss Xu, would you like to enter the mansion to have a look?" ”
Xu Qinghe looked back at the two, even though there were a hundred kinds of prevarications in his heart, but Lord Assassin Shi personally asked, to no avail, so he had to reply at the moment: "Lord Meng does not dislike it, and the folk girl is naturally willing to accompany the two into the mansion to take a look." ”
The last time we climbed Meishan together, I didn't see her so restrained between words, but I haven't seen her for half a month, how can it be like a different person.
Shen Ye laughed, "Miss Xu doesn't have to be so restrained. Wen Yan and I are friends of Jinlan, and Miss Xu is Wen Yan's cousin, so they can be regarded as a family. ”
When Xu Qinghe heard this, he couldn't help but scold: Then you call me a cousin! But with a smile on his face, he replied, "Yes, my lord." ”
Li Bozhou listened to the exchange of words between the two with great interest, holding back a gossip and laughter.
Shen Ye ignored Li Bozhou's play-like expression, said briefly, "The two of you come with me", then turned around and walked towards the mansion with his head held high.
Xu Qinghe glared at his brother-in-law angrily, and then walked behind Lord Thorn Shi.
Li Bozhou calmly accepted the roll of his cousin's eyes, flicked his sleeves with a smile, and followed gracefully.
The old mansion of Liufu has been carefully renovated and has been renovated inside and out. Entering the house, there is a bright and wide square patio, the floor is paved with smooth rectangular white bricks, and the aisle is lined with twelve symmetrical pots of green pine plants of different shapes.
At the end of the aisle, there is a bright lobby, neatly arranged with heavy nanmu tables and chairs, and in the middle hangs a huge famous landscape painting.
When Shen Ye and the three of them came to the lobby, a small servant immediately came up to serve tea.
Li Bozhou looked at the surrounding furnishings and exclaimed: "Brother Ji Yuan, this house is high-end, and it is completely worthy of your identity as a thorn!" ”
Shen Ye also entered this mansion for the first time, but he didn't expect his father to spend so much money on repairing the Thorn History Mansion, and he was also taken aback.
Xu Qinghe came to Liu's Mansion once when he was a child, and he still had some impressions, but in the current comparison, there is no trace of the past. It seems that it took a lot of money to get to where we are today.
"Brother Ji Yuan, after this repair, I'm afraid your meager savings have also been spent, right?" Li Bozhou teased, maybe the county magistrate still owes a lot of foreign debts......
Xingyuan Mansion is only responsible for arranging the mansions of new officials, but it will not pay for repairs.
Shen Ye didn't want to talk about family matters in front of the woman, and when he heard Li Bozhou's teasing, he was not annoyed, and replied casually: "The savings are gone, and then you can save them." Besides, with Wen Yan here, are you afraid that there will be no silver flowers in the future? ”
Li Bozhou suddenly wailed, "Brother Ji Yuan, is this the younger brother Lai?" A dignified state assassin history, playing such a rogue act, what kind of system! ”
Xu Qinghe listened to the two joking with each other, and felt that Lord Shi's official authority had weakened a lot......
Shen Ye caught a glimpse of the smile on the woman's lips, and couldn't help but decide to be a scoundrel in the end, "Didn't Wen Yan say that what is yours is mine, so why should I spend some money on you?" ”
When Li Bozhou heard this, he immediately put on a sad face, "When you say that, you are alone, and it won't cost much if you want to, so my little brother will help you." But if you become a family in the future and come to your younger brother to ask for silver, then the gold and silver mountains will not be able to bear the bell Ming Ding food of Lord Shi! ”
Xu Qinghe interjected with a smile, "Brother-in-law, don't you know that it's good to enjoy the shade with your back against the tree?" The Li Mansion relies on the prestige of Lord Thorn Shi, who is not afraid in the business field? What's the point of scattering some money? ”
Shen Ye hooked his lips and smiled, "Wen Yan doesn't have to worry, I have always been thrifty, even if I become a family in the future, I can live a good life by relying on Yulu." There is really a day when the mountains and rivers are exhausted, and I will ask Wenyan for help. ”
When Li Bozhou heard this, he immediately smiled, walked over and patted Shen Ye's shoulder, and praised with a smile: "This is a good brother!" ”
Shen Ye was noncommittal and said, "Let's go to the back and watch it!" ”
Li Bozhou looked at the two of them, thought about it, and frowned slightly, "You two go over first, and I'll go to Gongfang." ”
Shen Ye glanced over and knew what bad water was hidden in his stomach, but this move was exactly what he wanted. So he looked at the woman and said warmly, "Miss Xu, please move!" ”
Xu Qinghe smiled and nodded, "Lord Shen, please go first." ”
When Shen Ye heard this familiar sentence, he immediately recalled that day in the sea of flowers in Meishan, the woman repeatedly let herself go first......
He glanced at Xu Qinghe with an incompassionate expression and walked slowly to the back garden.
Xu Qinghe took advantage of the assassination of Lord Shi's back and glared at Li Bozhou fiercely again, and then followed.
Liu's mansion originally built a small garden, but now it has expanded to a larger one, rockery pond water, bonsai flowers, and a lot of willow trees have been newly planted. Now it is the time when the willow branches are drawing new leaves, full of green and tender, and the scenery is very pleasant.
Xu Qinghe looked at a few weeping willows by the pool, and suddenly remembered a poem in that poetry collection: a cluster of green smoke locks the jade building, half hanging on the side and half hanging ditch. Next year, there will be more new rules, and the spring breeze will not end.
"What is Miss Xu thinking?" Shen Ye saw her looking at the weeping willow in a daze, so he asked in a low voice.
Xu Qinghe smiled, "Looking at the verdant swaying wicker, I remembered a few lines of poetry I read a few days ago." ”
"Oh? Can you smell it? Shen Ye said.
"There will be more new rules next year, and the spring breeze will not end." Xu Qinghe groaned slowly.
