Chapter 40: The Manor

Since the "four surnames of Chaowu", many manors in Jiankang and Wu County have changed their surnames, and after two generations of emperors, Jiankang and Wu County do not have large mountains and forests or land. The manor where Xiahou Yu married was the manor where Empress Wenxuan was married before, occupying several hills. From the gate, it takes half an hour to reach the upper courtyard by ox cart.

It was the first time Xiao Huan had seen it, and even though it was getting dark, he couldn't help but look around.

Xiahou Yu has lived here for ten years, running horses and shooting, rowing boats and mountaineering, fishing and picking chrysanthemums, and he is very familiar with everywhere.

She sat casually in the car, not paying much attention to the scenery around her.

Xiao Huan couldn't help but say, "Has the eldest princess ever lived here?" I see that the eldest princess is very familiar with this place. ”

Xiahou Yu had no intention of telling him about his experience, so he said "um" and said, "When I was a child, I lived here with my mother. ”

Xiao Huan sighed in his heart.

The Zheng family is also the gate valve of the Northland, and this place was once the manor of the Gu family.

The upper courtyard of the manor is located in the east of the main hall of the manor, there are more than 20 houses before and after, the verandah is circuitous, the green trees are green, the vines are stacked, and the scenery is very quiet.

Xiao Huan likes it very much.

Du Hui had arrived at the manor early, packed up her residence, and was waiting in the courtyard with a few maids.

Seeing the two of them, she respectfully stepped forward to salute the two, and hugged Xiahou Yu to the west residence, while Xiao Huan was taken to the east residence.

Xiahou Yu is still keeping filial piety, and the two should be separated.

After freshening up and changing, Xiahou Yu called Liu Qi in and told him euphemistically: "The governor is just staying here, so there are some things that don't have to worry him." ”

The implication is that some things in the manor still have to be hidden from Xiao Huan.

Liu Qi should knowingly.

Xiahou Yu then went to the open hall to meet Xiao Huan.

Xiao Huan didn't bother with Xiahou Yu, and directly talked about his future plans: "I will go to Shangshutai tomorrow and urge them to complete the mausoleum of the first emperor as soon as possible, and then I will follow my uncle to visit some people, and after the Dragon Boat Festival, I will go to Xiangyang with my uncle." The affairs in Jiankang City will be handed over to the eldest princess. ”

He formed an alliance with Xie Danyang in advance, if there is any trouble, Xie Danyang will give him a message, and seriously, the situation he is facing now is much easier than in his previous life.

Xiahou Yu nodded, his attitude a little disapproving.

This made Xiao Huan feel a little uncomfortable, and he said, "I don't know if the eldest princess has any other orders?" ”

Xiahou Yu was slightly stunned, a little didn't understand what Xiao Huan meant, and when she understood, she was a little funny.

She didn't expect Xiao Huan to have such a childish time.

At this time in his previous life, he was already in the position of the great Sima, full of ambition and high spirits, the two of them had never met once in ten years, and they couldn't say two words when they met, and when Xiao Huan came to see her in power, he was already the calm and introverted Xiao Huan.

Now this kind of Xiao Huan makes her a little unaccustomed, but it is undeniable that such Xiao Huan makes people feel better to get along.

"The governor is gracious!" Xiahou Yu said, "If there is anything, I will discuss it with Xie Danyang." Please rest assured. ”

Xiao Huan bowed, and he didn't know why he was bowing.

The two politely said a few words, and then went back to their rooms to rest.

Xiahou Yu looked at the familiar furnishings in the room, as if she had returned to her previous life, and she slept until three o'clock in the morning according to her temperament.

Ah Liang had been waiting outside for a long time, and he hurriedly instructed the maids to come in with hot water to serve her to dress up, and said: "Du Du got up at dawn, walked around the upper courtyard, had breakfast, and took Wu Qiao to the martial arts hall, and he hasn't come out yet!" ”

The martial arts hall was not far from the upper courtyard, and it was reached through a tree-lined path. It is said that this house originally existed. In her previous life, she had been deserted before she moved in, and after she came, she was idle and started practicing riding and archery again, and the martial arts hall came in handy again.

I didn't expect that she didn't use it in this life, but Xiao Huan used it first.

Xiahou Yu said: "Let him go!" Later, you will call Liu Qi over. ”

When she got married, she had a lot of marriages, in addition to Jiankang and Huiji, she also had several large estates in Yangxian and Xuancheng. She doesn't care what these estates produce, how much money they make each year, she just needs to have enough for expenses. She didn't want Xiao Huan to wander around the manor, not so much because she didn't want Xiao Huan to know what was in the manor, but because she didn't want Xiao Huan to invade her territory.

Now that Tian Quan is no longer serving in front of her, the only thing she can use is Liu Qi, and she still has to find out what Liu Qi is.

Liu Qi quickly rushed over.

Xiahou Yu asked him to move the account books over and asked Du Hui to check the accounts in the manor, and she asked Ah Liang to call Ah Hao, who was still learning the rules from others, in.

Ah Liang was also very puzzled, she didn't understand why Xiahou Yu suddenly lifted up a peasant girl she didn't know, and when she saw Ah Hao's chubby little face, big round eyes, red lips, and black hair, like a little doll painted on that year's painting, with a festive face that didn't smile, she suddenly felt as if she knew the answer.

Ah Hao saw Xiahou Yu for the first time, and when Ah Liang brought her to Xiahou Yu, she was so frightened that she looked at Xiahou Yu with tears in her eyes, like a rabbit that had fallen into a trap.

Xiahou Yu laughed.

In her previous life, Ah Hao was seen on the ridge when she went to the rice field to the west of the manor on a whim to grow grain. At that time, she was eating oranges, and the relish made people think that she was eating dragon liver and phoenix gall, and she had an appetite when she looked at it.

She thought the child was funny, so she had her carried back to the upper house.

Ah Hao grew up ignorantly, and after four or five years, he learned that "eldest princess" was not Xiahou Yu's name, but Xiahou Yu's title.

There were no oranges in this season, so she took a plum and handed it to Ah Hao.

Ah Hao didn't look scared anymore, stepped forward with a smile, called out sweetly "eldest princess", picked up the plum and stuffed it into his mouth.

The people in the room laughed when they looked at her innocent appearance.

Xiahou Yu teased Ah Hao for a while, seeing that it was not too early, he asked Xiao Huan where the lunch was, and let him hug Ah Hao.

Xiao Huan replied that he would have lunch with Xiahou Yu, and Xiahou Yu waited for Xiao Huan for a while.

The two of them had lunch, and then went back to their rooms for a lunch break.

In the afternoon, Xiao Huan took Wu Qiao to Houshan, and Xiahou Yu copied two more pages of scriptures for Xiahou Youdao.

In the evening, the two of them had dinner together, and after that, they also went back to their respective houses, Xiao Huan looked at the letters sent from Jiankang, Xiahou Yu or teased Ah Hao, or watched the little maids be female celebrities, or asked Ah Liang to read her a few chapters of the travelogue.

After seven or eight days like this, Cui's suddenly came to visit, and he brought his sister-in-law, who was Cui Qi's mother.
