The day of February, controlled by the spring rains, lived up to expectations, swaying endlessly, dutifully completing its task. It was not until it saw with its own eyes the burst of young shoots, the new clothes of dead trees, and the revival of dry wells.

Humid and rainy in exchange for a rare bright and sunny good weather, butterflies fluttering in search of fragrance, birds dancing around the branches, green fields and willows are also new. How could such a scene not make Hua Yan excited and rejoice, she grabbed the driver who was driving, and jumped off the carriage neatly.

Xinqiao hurriedly poked her head out of the car, "Miss, why did you get out of the car?" It's not there yet! ”

Hua Yan took a few steps forward, inhaled the breath of spring fiercely, and looked up at something in the distance, suddenly smiling. She pointed ahead, "Look, the peach orchard not far away." I will ride first, and you will follow. ”

After saying that, she asked the attendants who were accompanying her to dismount and rode on herself.

Xin Qiao immediately jumped down from the carriage and pulled the corner of the skirt of the painting face vigorously, "Miss! Miss! You're riding too fast alone, and Xinqiao can't keep up! ...... If this horse hurts Miss, how can it be good? Didn't Madame say that as long as the young lady was obediently escorted by the guards and could not use force, she would be allowed to go out of the city to visit the masters? ”

At this time, Sheng Lan also poked her head out of the car window, "Can this horse still hurt Miss?" Miss is happy, don't stop you. ”

When Xin Qiao heard this, her eyebrows shrugged, and the hand pulling the corner of her skirt also let go, and she crossed her hands on her waist and said to Sheng Lan: "Hey! What's the matter with you! If you don't help me persuade Miss, forget it, and still encourage it vigorously! ”

Huayan turned his head and winked at Shenglan and smiled, "You two girls, don't sit often, move more, I'll take the first step!" ”

As soon as she finished speaking, she pulled the reins and rode away in a dashing manner.

Petal peach blossoms, struck by galloping horses, or falling into the wet dirt, or lurking under the hooves of horses. A sense of freedom that she had never felt before enveloped her whole body, and for a moment, she felt like a wild goose flying freely, extremely relaxed and happy, without the slightest worry and concern.

Huayan stopped at the bottom of the small slope, and she remembered that it was here that she met Liu Che'er, when she was accidentally hit by a donkey and rolled over, and she couldn't help laughing. Thinking of this, she thought of Aunt Pan and the masters she hadn't seen for more than a year, and immediately pulled up the reins and ran up the small slope.

"Who's coming?!"

At the gate of a compound stood two guards, both of whom were tall and large, but their faces were not evil, but they exuded a heroic spirit. One of them asked aloud.

Fifty meters from the gate of the compound, Hua Yan quickly retracted the reins, jumped off the horse, and stood on the lawn, because this position was just enough to see the shape of the entire courtyard.

"Taoyuan Yizhuang" read the words on the door plaque word by word, smiling slightly.

"Are you a passing traveler, or a guest in Taoyuan?" The other man at the door then asked.

She looked back down the hill, and when she saw that the carriage was still approaching in the distance, she put down the reins and walked towards the two of them.

Suddenly, like a gust of fresh wind, Hua Yan was already standing in front of the two guards.

Hua Yan unhurriedly straightened up the wrinkled clothes during the journey, and raised his eyes to look at the two who were already stunned. "That's right, I just made the wind sweep. Since you are Qin Daxia's subordinates, you must also know. This trick is never passed on to outsiders, you should be able to guess who I am, right? ”

The two guards nodded with wide eyes.

Hua Yan pointed towards the courtyard with his hand, "Then can I go in?" ”

The two nodded in amazement.

Seeing that although these two people had thick limbs and strong arms, they had such a stupid appearance, Huayan couldn't help but laugh out loud. But she tried her best to restrain herself, and arched her hand and said, "Two brothers, I'll go in first, and a few people will come later." Rest assured, they are all my people. By the way, take care of the horses for me, thank you! ”

After painting Yan, he tidied himself up and down again, and strode towards the compound.

The original uninhabited valley Taoyuan land was all bought by Huayan a year ago to build a camp for her masters, resulting in today's spacious Taoyuan compound. Just because the land is more gravel and too barren, the acquisition of Huayan naturally attracts the owners of those lands, who can't wait to sell it, and the purchase price is not too high.

At the beginning, Huayan relied on a few taels of silver from the sale of jewelry to open a small embroidery workshop, cutting and cutting by himself, and the style was naturally more novel than ordinary peers. After a long time, the business has also developed, and it will not be until today that there will be a tower of the forgotten dust. Her business path seems to be relatively smooth. Therefore, it is not a problem to buy this land a year ago and build a few new compounds.

Taoyuan Yizhuang is a circle of Tai Chi Bagua, with land on the yang side and water on the yin side. There was no water source in this barren valley, but when the land was opened up and the garden was built, I didn't know where to dig it, but I dug up the spring water that had been stored in the valley for many years. As a result, the waterways are connected, forming a natural Tai Chi Bagua formation, and Taoyuan Yizhuang has become a blessed land in people's mouths, and the original owners of those lands are also remorseful.

Surrounded by peach trees on the periphery of the garden, there are four large five-story houses, one connected to the other, with 500 bedrooms. The water on the shady side is a clear spring that has been accumulated in the valley for many years, and the spring water is crystal clear, and the water is warm and sweet. In order to share the blessed water with the people below, another branch was built from the spring to the village, and the originally barren valley was fertilized.

As soon as Hua Yan stepped into the door, he saw a group of tall and mighty warriors practicing martial arts in the middle of the courtyard, all sweating and energetic. In the middle of his fist, he startled the lively birds in the trees.

"Unexpectedly, in just one year, Taoyuan Yizhuang has received so many talents!" Painting Yan secretly clapped his hands and applauded.

On the other side, people in twos and threes carried buckets, drove horse stools, or carefully scrubbed weapons, or carefully sharpened the edge of knives, and were very busy.

A group of children by the water, holding a pen in their arms, flipped through the bucket with one hand. One after the other, joyful laughter also filled the entire peach orchard.

Huayan Fang remembered that after the completion of Taoyuan, the school originally located in Jiangling County was also relocated, so I saw this cute little face. When the school was set up, the funds were tight, and I thought about giving up, but now I see that I can build a happy growth environment for such a group of children, and let Brother Yaowen make the best use of his talents and educate people, I can't help but be glad that my original choice was right.

Unconsciously, Huayan had been silently watching for a long time, which attracted the attention of the people in the courtyard, and they stopped what they were doing one by one, and slowly leaned towards Huayan with puzzled eyes.

Just when Huayan was at a loss, Pangu walked over with a wooden basin, her face still looked the same as before, her skirt was knotted high to the right, but her clothes were still wet with a little water, she seemed to have just finished washing her clothes, and after passing here, she had not yet noticed the arrival of Huayan.

When Huayan saw Aunt Pan first, she shouted in surprise, "Aunt Pan!" ”

When Pangu heard the familiar voice, she suddenly looked back, but she couldn't stop her tears. She threw the wooden basin in her hand to the ground, walked forward quickly, looked at her face carefully, and held her tightly in her arms.

She let out a trembling voice, "Yan'er, why did you come, Aunt Pan's eyes are almost piercing......"

Aunt Pan's short sentence is as affectionate as her mother gives her child, and her sincere emotions are not a trace of impurities.

Yan's nose was sour, and her voice trembled, "Aunt Pan, Yan'er will often come back to see you in the future." ”

At this moment, there was a sudden burst of laughter from the back of the crowd, and the sound was deafening. "Hahaha...... I heard that the ghost girl is back? Where?! ”

Before he could finish speaking, a short and fat man suddenly squeezed out of the crowd, circling around with two fish-eyes open, and holding a half-bitten meat bun in his hand, and when he saw his target, he strode barefoot. Without thinking too much, he knew that the person must be thunderous.

Hua Yan crossed his hands and smiled: "Ghost old man, are you stealing Steward Hao's buns again?!" ”

Although Lei Buming treats people with sincerity, he is straightforward and enthusiastic. But he was born with the appearance of a demon, and the brothers in the garden also stayed away from him on weekdays, let alone joked with him like they did today. Therefore, when everyone heard this, they were silent for a while, and then they all burst into laughter.

Lei Buming was embarrassed for a while, and hurriedly put the unfinished bun back into his pocket, and wiped his two hands on his clothes. Pretending to be annoyed, he glared at him, "You ghost girl!" No big, no small! ”

Aunt Pan was afraid that her second brother would not be able to save face, so she was annoyed by this, and she pretended to be annoyed, and gently tapped Huayan's head with her hand. "That's it, I don't know the rules when I'm so big, it's not big or small!"

Huayan also pretended to cooperate, she stroked her head, "Oh, Aunt Pan, you really treat my head as a watermelon, it hurts me, it's not time to eat watermelon!" The melon is not ripe! ”

The painter's pitiful but pleasing expression caused everyone to laugh again, and the thunder finally couldn't hold back, and he laughed with everyone, and he was also the loudest one.

In other words, Qin Zhengfeng and Kong Yaowen were receiving distinguished guests in the hall, and when they heard the sound of boiling in the garden, they hurriedly rushed out to take a look.

Qin Zhengfeng looked at it from a distance, and when he saw that it was Huayan who had returned, he immediately walked quickly through the crowd and said happily: "Yan'er is back, why did you come alone?" Nothing happened along the way, right? ”

Huayan came back to his senses from a burst of laughter, and after more than a year of absence, his father-in-law's temples were also dyed with white hair, but the righteousness between his eyebrows, as well as his eyes that had experienced the pine but were still the same.

Painting Yan changed his naughty attitude just now, and knelt down to Qin Zhengfeng with a rigorous expression, "Yan'er, meet your father-in-law." Yan'er is not filial and cannot always serve her father-in-law. ”

Qin Zhengfeng, who has always been calm and calm, seemed to moisten his eyes with excitement, he helped the painting face up, and didn't say anything, looking at the always smart and sensible painting face, he smiled with satisfaction.
