Lu Yanchen's mansion in Beijing is located in the southeast corner of Shangsanfang Chongyi Fang, not far behind is Qinglong Temple, there is a seven-story pagoda in the temple, which is a landmark building in Shengjing City, so it is not difficult to find.

Ye Tianhuai only came to Lu Yanchen's house once when he ascended the throne, and she was surprised by the simplicity of Lu Yanchen's residence, which was far away from the palace, and wanted to change the courtyard for him several times, but Lu Yanchen politely refused.

Now counting her previous life, she has not set foot in Lu Yanchen's home for more than three years.

But she still didn't detour at all and accurately found Lu Yanchen's door.

Although she had only walked the road from the palace to Lu Yanchen's house once, that route had been repeated countless times in her mind, as if it had been seared into her blood.

Ye Tianhuai still remembered that Lu Yanchen's small courtyard was rented by him, and only as soon as he entered the courtyard, a plaque hanging outside the door was also as simple as a door number, and there was not even a frame. In the past, when Ye Qianhuai came, there was only one maid in the yard who cooked and washed clothes, and at that time, Ye Qianhuai asked, it was not a servant raised by Lu Yanchen, but a small worker who settled by the point.

His courtyard, in terms of size and specifications, is not even comparable to the merchants in Beijing with a little family background, and it can be said to be extremely poor. is really not worthy of his identity as the son of a giant in the Northland, and he can't be connected with the young owner who spends a lot of money.

At this time, Ye Tianhuai didn't care about thinking so much.

The courtyard door of the Lu Mansion was closed, and a locked horizontal lock hung on the door. There didn't seem to be anyone in the courtyard, and not even a glimmer of light came through.

Ye Tianhuai still knocked on the door without giving up.

For a long time, no one answered.

Because it is next to the Qinglong Temple, there has always been a saying that the feng shui of the home next to the temple is not good, so there are not many residents. At night, the whole street is dark, and there are no lights, let alone someone to ask.

Ye Tianhuai took a closer look at the lock hanging on the door, the lock was indeed sturdy, but there were some cracks in the place where the door knocker was connected to the wooden door, which seemed to be aging.

Ye Tianhuai took a step back, drew his knife out of its sheath, and muttered in a low voice, "Offended." ”

As the words fell, she slashed at the knocker with her knife.

If it doesn't work once, it will be twice.

In the dark streets, there was only the sound of metal crashing.

When the dozen cuts were made, the knocker on the right fell down with a bang, and the horizontal lock was crooked and hung aside.

The small two-sided door opened silently, revealing a slender gap in the middle. There was only an empty stone table and three stone benches in the courtyard, bathed in the bright moonlight.

Ye Tianhuai carried a knife, pushed open the door and walked in carefully, and then gently closed the door.

She wasn't sure if there was anyone in Lu Yanchen's family.

Lu Yanchen's courtyard is very small, with a total of three rooms, except for the main room, which is more spacious in the north and facing south, the west wing room with only one door and one window was converted into a utility room by him, and the east side is a room.

Ye Qianhuai first pushed open the doors of the three rooms in turn, making sure that there was no one else in the courtyard except her, and then put the knife away.

The west wing is narrow and unobstructed from the door, with three rows of shelves full of books.

Ye Tianhuai was amazed in his heart, it was worthy of being the home of the Taiqing Pavilion Bachelor, it looked like a house with four walls on the outside, and when he opened the door, he found that it was actually full of sweat cows.

Books are very expensive, this room of books is enough for a family of ten to eat for decades, and if there are some rare and unique books in it, it will be even more amazing.

This can match the young owner who has a lot of money.

Ye Tianhuai closed the door of the west wing and walked towards the main room.

The layout of the main room is also very simple, but it has a unique elegance of literati.

There are three sets of tables and chairs in three directions in the main hall, which are spotlessly clean, and there is a lonely but upright little red bamboo in the potted plant of the main case, and a pair of couplets are hung on the two central pillars behind the table with wooden boards-

The breeze is selfless and elegant, and the bamboo is long and long.

Ye Tianhuai couldn't help but sigh in his heart, he didn't care about it at this time, and only remembered Lu Yanchen's heart and joy. Looking at it now, I feel that Lu Yanchen can maintain this heart in a filthy officialdom like Shengjing, which is really commendable.

On the east side of the main hall is a whole screen, behind which is supposed to be a bedroom, and on the west side of the inner room is a study with a view of the bottom.

Ye Tianhuai subconsciously walked towards the study.

Different from the general study, the study of the Lu Mansion has a wide couch next to the window, which is enough to sleep two people, and there are two stacks of clothes stacked at the head of the bed.

It can be seen that Lu Yanchen often stays here.

Ye Tianhuai walked to the side of the bookcase, and there was still a pen that had not had time to be washed on the inkstone under the pen stand, and the ink on the tip of the pen had solidified.

She raised her hand and lifted it to the edge of the bookcase, which had smooth edges and corners that seemed to have been rubbed countless times.

This is where he reads and rests every day.

It looks like a normal person.

Ye Qian had a momentary sway.

She suddenly felt that if Lu Yanchen was here, she should wash and grind for him like a student, and humbly ask for advice.

But she hasn't fulfilled the filial piety that a student should do.

has not yet become the Ming Jun he expects.

Ye Tianhuai suddenly woke up.

Gotta get to him.

She turned around and raised her legs to leave, when suddenly her afterglow swept to a painting hanging on the side wall.

She was startled, and her feet froze.

Isn't that the little portrait of Lu Yanchen she painted?

But it's not the last time she sent it.

The painting was framed with a pole made of silk and pine and hung on the wall.

Ye Qianhuai could see at a glance that this framing was made with care, and the materials used were extremely expensive materials that only large families and laymen would choose.

What is Lu Yanchen doing by framing it and hanging it here openly?

Ye Tianhuai was stunned.

If people can see that it is her brushwork, wouldn't it make the whole capital know that the emperor is a broken sleeve?

After thinking about this, she realized that the two lines of small characters in her inscription in the upper right corner were missing. The two lines of the poem she inscribed with affection -

"The mountains have trees and branches, and the heart is happy."

The upper right corner is blank, and not even a single stamp has been dropped.

Ye Qianhuai took a closer look, and found that there was indeed a piece in the upper right corner that was made up when it was framed, and it was a little harder to the touch.

Lu Yanchen actually took such pains to cut out those two lines.

Even so, it has to be hung on the desk, and it seems that I like this painting very much.

Thinking of Tie Qing's face when he wanted to paint, it was really unexpected that he could like this painting so much now.

Just as Ye Qianhuai was wondering, the neighing of horses suddenly appeared outside the courtyard.

Ye Qianhuai stepped out of the door with the knife on his waist.

The courtyard door was pushed open. Qin Yang stood at the door, holding the scimitar in his hand, standing at the door panting and said, "Your Majesty, I know where the Shaodong family is!" ”
