Not far in front of the side gate, there was a hillside down, which was their current pasture, and more than twenty cows were roaming freely on the slope of nearly ten acres.

There is more land and less cattle.

As for Li Changhui and them, they should be at the foot of the mountain now, but the distance is a bit far, and there are sparse trees on the hillside, so they can't see the father and son.

However, Lin He only glanced at it a few times, and quickly withdrew his gaze and returned to the side door.

When I came over just now, the side door was covered with a patch of weeds, and the housekeeper called a few people over, and now it has just been cleared.

Not only the side gate, it should be said that in addition to the vicinity of the gate, there are a lot of weeds and gravel outside the courtyard wall along the way.

Seeing that Lin He frowned slightly, the housekeeper hurriedly said: "Madame, forgive me, I have been busy arranging the courtyard before, and I forgot about this outside." ”

Cui Yan also explained: "It may be that the plague spread in the past few months, and everyone was panicked, so they ignored this place, and I will let people clean up all the surroundings later." ”

In summer, it is easy to get into snakes, rats, insects, ants, etc., and if you hurt someone, it is a crime that deserves death.

Lin He shook his head: "Just clean it up in time, I saw a snake running out just now." ”

The housekeeper wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Yes, yes, the old slave will let people clean it up immediately." ”

He thought that Madame hadn't seen it, after all, it was so far away, and when the snake slipped away, Madame was still two feet away from them.

Lin He didn't say anything more about it, but looked at the side door, the side door had begun to rot, the wooden door had become tattered, and through some gaps, it could be seen that there were stones inside.

"What's behind the door?"

The housekeeper respectfully explained: "It is behind a rockery outside the courtyard of the second young master, which was originally the back door that could be directly exited, and when the princess lived here a few years ago, it was sealed here." ”

Rockeries are a good camouflage, which can not only seal the door, but also maintain the appearance.

"Honorable to let it be sealed? Why? ”

Lin He looked at Cui Yan, Cui Yan should know about this.

"Mrs. Lin, this hillside is past the royal hunting ground, a few years ago, when a hunting, someone broke in through the side door by mistake, disturbing the princess's recuperation, and in a fit of anger, let people seal this place."

Well, it's just not a big deal.

There's one more problem, though.

"Now that this door is open, will anyone break through it by mistake?"

"It shouldn't be, that time the princess was urged by the queen to choose a colt, the princess was angry, and taught the intruder a hard lesson, now no one should be so bold."

Cui Yan said it simply, but Lin He felt that this matter was estimated to be quite a big problem back then, otherwise there would not be such a big deterrent.

But this is not something Lin He needs to worry about.

"In that case, let's restore this place and get a new door, so that it will be easy to enter and exit in the future."

Li Hao's courtyard was a little next to their main courtyard, which was much closer than going around the gate.

The housekeeper hurriedly responded.

"Mother, what is the royal hunting ground? A place to hunt? ”

Li Ang waited for his mother to finish the arrangement before he began to be curious.

"Dad and second brother like hunting the most, can we go and see it in the future?"

"Third young master, outsiders can't ......"

"Of course, the princess gave Mrs. Lin a token to enter and exit the hunting ground, and she can go hunting at any time."

The previous sentence was said by Steward Zhang, and the latter sentence was said by Cui Yan.

Steward Zhang obviously didn't know about this, and was very surprised after being interrupted by Cui Yan.

But after all, he was an old butler, and he quickly adjusted his expression.

It's just that I feel a little more respectful to the new master in my heart.

Even the royal hunting ground can be entered casually, which is a treatment that other princes in the capital do not have.

To be precise, except for members of the royal family, others can only follow the emperor into the royal hunting ground during the autumn hunting every year.

Lin He obviously didn't know this, she just took out a jade pendant from her sleeve pocket in surprise.

"You say this?"

Lin He was even more surprised than Steward Zhang: "With this, you can enter the royal hunting ground to hunt?" ”

Steward Zhang was even more energetic and exclaimed: "This is the princess's personal jade pendant, and it is also a token on behalf of the princess herself." ”

The princess can even give away such a thing?

It stands to reason that this shouldn't be something for the colt, or for the little county lord?

When Lin He heard this, he hurriedly clenched the jade pendant in his hand: "No, it's so precious, Jinrong will give it to me?" ”

After speaking, I felt that it was wrong, where was it for her, it was clearly for Li Changhui.

Hurriedly put it away: "I'm scared to death, this thing has to be put away." ”

It seems that Li Changhui's younger siblings are quite good to him, presumably knowing that he likes hunting, or wants to restore some of his privileges as the eldest prince.

But the eldest prince is nominally dead, and he can't give him another identity for no reason, so on the grounds of being friendly with Lin He, Jinrong handed over some things and privileges to Lin He, in fact, he was also dedicated to her eldest brother.

This Lin He didn't think there was anything wrong, after all, people were originally thinking about their eldest brother, and there was nothing wrong with it.

But she also followed a little light, otherwise with what she has in her hand now, she may still be able to talk about business and cooperation with Jinrong, but the two sides definitely don't have the same level of trust as they do now, and they must be wary of each other.

This is also very good, it saves her a lot of trouble, if there is anything wrong, Li Changhui can come forward to solve it at that time.

Thinking about it like this, Lin He felt more at ease.

"Xiao He? Sure enough, it's you. ”

Li Changhui suddenly came out of the hillside and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw a few people: "I saw someone at the bottom of the mountain just now, why did you come here." ”

"I was going to look for you at the bottom of the mountain just now, but I heard that there is a side door here, so I came over and had a look."

"Side door?"

Li Changhui's eyes shifted, and he also saw the wooden plank that was already crumbling.

"It's closer."

Then he looked at Steward Zhang: "I'll bring over the layout plan of the entire courtyard in a while." ”

Although this courtyard was his before, he had never been to it once, after all, his stay in the capital was still too short.

Steward Zhang hurriedly said, "Yes." ”

Lin He raised his eyebrows slightly.

It can be seen that although this is the Lin Mansion, Steward Zhang's attitude towards Li Changhui is obviously more respectful and cautious.

She probably kind of understood.

Except for Li Changhui, even if he doesn't have the prince's vest, when he is serious, it still makes people palpitate, it is an aura that has been precipitated for a long time, and just one look can make people palpitate.

After all, in order not to be exposed, he scared the villagers in Xiang'an Village like this.

There is another reason, that is, the general environment generally recognizes the male owner more, although this is Lin Mansion, Lin He is the real owner.

But Li Changhui looks more majestic, and his words are naturally more convincing.

However, Lin He didn't care too much, there was nothing to fight for in such a thing as family power.
