After finishing breakfast and cleaning up, Xiao Fan and Zhao Paner took a carriage to see the new house.

The Qian family had other things to do, so he sent Mother Yang to accompany the two of them.

After arriving at the place, Xiao Fan found that the small courtyard that his mother said was not small at all, and he saw the long courtyard wall from afar.

The annex is located on a higher ground on the edge of the West Lake, less than a mile from the lake.

Not far from the lake, there is a simple wooden pier with a few small awning boats and a large painting boat.

"Official, we're here," Jia San parked the carriage, put the carriage bench, and beckoned everyone to get off.

Xiao Fan helped Zhao Paner get out of the car with everyone, and as far as the eye could see, a tall lintel appeared in front of him.

On both sides of the gate are two large stone lions, and the plaque on the gate reads the four big characters of the West Lake Courtyard.

An old man in his fifties at the door came forward respectfully with two servants: "Lord, old slave Yuan Fu, I was the steward of this courtyard before, and I have been waiting here for a long time, so I will take you to take a look." ”

"If you have work, lead the way." Xiao Fan was noncommittal.

Now these slaves in the other courtyard were sent here by the Qian Wangfu to do daily maintenance. After half selling and half giving this courtyard to Xiao Fan, most of the slaves here also gave it to him.

But this steward seems to be a little confused about the situation, what does the honor of the Qian Wangfu have to do with you? What are you angry about, a slave? What's more, you're now my subordinate.

Xiao Fan followed Yuan Fu to take a general look at it, and then came to the main hall after a general understanding.

The whole courtyard covers an area of more than 30 acres, which is about the size of three football fields.

Because it is an annex, it was mainly used for relaxing and living temporarily, so compared to a normal garden, this annex has more trees and water systems.

In particular, the main residential area is surrounded by water systems on three sides, connected by a covered bridge, and the main entrance direction passes through the sedan hall, the front yard and then leads directly to the main hall, showing the overall appearance of a peninsula.

"How's that, do you like it?" Xiao Fan gently hugged Zhao Pan'er and asked.

Zhao Paner happily snuggled in his arms.

"I never dreamed of living in such a big house, how can I not like it."

"Well, this courtyard is really good, you see what is missing, let's add it all. After a few days, the family will come over, let's move over, and the affairs in the house will be handed over to you Pan'er in the future. ”

"Okay, I'll keep our house in order, as for what to add?" Zhao Pan'er didn't think of what she needed for a while: "Let's talk about it when we move over." ”

"Official, let's set up a swing!" Jia Quan said excitedly.

When Xiao Fan heard this, he directly disdained: "How old is it?" Still playing on the swings? ”

"Yes, we can set up a swing, I have been envious of other people's children who have swings since I was a child." Zhao Paner looked at Xiao Fan happily.

"Pan'er, you are really childlike, I like it so much. Then let's set up a swing, and we can set up a few if we want. Xiao Fan immediately changed his words, and then waved his arrogant hand.

Faced with such a large-scale double-standard scene as Xiao Fan, Jia Quan couldn't help but pout and looked at Xiao Fan depressedly.

When Xiao Fan saw him like this, although he also felt that he was a bit of a double standard, he still said with a straight face: "What? Do you have an opinion? ”

"No, no, I just see that the official and Sister Pan'er are so affectionate, I'm very happy." As he spoke, he grinned and tried to put on a happy smile.

Xiao Fan touched his dog's head and didn't say anything, but asked Zhao Pan'er about it.

"Pan'er, I want to change the name of our garden, what do you say it's called?"

"Listen to your fanlang, you can call it whatever you say."

Xiao Fan clapped his hands and said loudly: "Okay, then it's called Panyuan." ”

Zhao Paner's face turned red: "This is not good." ”

"What's so bad? Let's go home, using my mother's name, it's very appropriate, I just want everyone to know your place in my heart. So it was decided. ”

Seeing Xiao Fan's unchanging posture, Zhao Paner had no choice but to retreat and say, "Why don't you call it Qianyuan?" It's kind of in my name. When I was a child, my mother said that the name Pan'er meant that she didn't like it, so she named me a nickname Sissi. ”

"Qianqian? Clever smile, beautiful eyes. Yes, that's a good name. ”

Zhao Pan'er knew that he had misunderstood, and corrected: "It's not this Qianzi, it's the Qian of Madder." ”

"Sissi, a bright look, is as her name suggests. As the saying goes, 'the night moon shines on it, and Sissi produces her own smoke', well, this sounds good. Okay, this place will be called Qian Garden in the future. When Xiao Fan heard this, he immediately shook his head and praised.

Jia Quan stood on the side and saw all this in his eyes, and muttered in a low voice: "I'm afraid it's not for Sister Pan'er to say that you can say anything about officials." ”

"What are you muttering, you monkey?"

"It's nothing, I said that the officials are high!"

At this moment, Yuan Fu walked in from outside and saluted Xiao Fan and Zhao Pan'er respectfully.

"The lord, the lord, the meal has been prepared, it was all made by the chef of the Qian Wangfu before, when will I eat?"

"Oh? Meal ready? Then come up now. Xiao Fan said casually.

"Yes." Yuan Fu responded, saluted respectfully, and then shook the bell in his hand twice.

When the maid outside the door heard the bell, she rushed in with the prepared fish and laid the meal on the prepared table.

After the dishes were served, Yuan Fu stepped forward to introduce Xiao Fan one by one: "Lord, these are all carefully prepared by the chef of Fuzhong, lychee kidneys, carp belly, steamed anchovies in wine, perilla shrimp, fresh clams in wine, crab stuffed oranges, roasted cockles in wine, ......"

Xiao Fan didn't like to be disturbed by someone on the side when he was eating, so he directly interrupted him: "Okay, you go down first, you don't need to take care of it here." ”

"Okay, I'll wait outside first, please feel free to tell me if you need anything." After Yuan Fu finished speaking, he respectfully withdrew.

"Great, there are so many delicious foods, I also came to taste the craftsmanship of the chef of the palace. There is also a crispy yellow du, my favorite food. Jia Quan was very excited, and immediately put a piece into his mouth, but his brows furrowed.

"What's wrong? Not tasty? Zhao Paner asked with some surprise.

"No, Sister Pan'er, it just feels weird." Jia Quan put down the crispy yellow and began to taste other dishes.

Xiao Fan also took a piece and tasted it: "Well, the taro is a little old, and there is a smell of astringency, it seems that the chef in this palace is not very good, and it is not as delicious as Sanniang's cooking." ”

"I'll taste it," Zhao Paner also took a piece and tasted it carefully: "Well, it's not unpleasant, but it's not delicious either." ”

After tasting all the dishes, everyone was disappointed, thinking that the chef of the palace should make a lot better dishes than the restaurants outside, but it turned out to be nothing more than that.

It's all like Zhao Paner said, it's not unpalatable, but it's not delicious either. Although it was just a separate courtyard before, it was too substandard, and there must be something greasy in it.
