Huilan was enthusiastically dragged to Nianhuaju by the fourth lady, and Liulang also wanted to follow, but was ruthlessly dragged away by the two cousins.

There are currently two girls living in Nianhua Curie, the fifth lady is old, and the yard has been cleaned up after the New Year, and the things have been moved over one after another, and they will move when they choose a good day. When Huilan celebrates her eighth birthday, she is also going to move in.

This building was built by the old lady alone, mainly for the girls in the family. It is to help the girls live independently after the age of eight, to exercise their ability to manage the private houses of the yard servants, and to strengthen the relationship between sisters.

Looking down from the sky, the whole Nianhuaju is a circular building with a large area. The circumference is a circle of eight courtyards next to each other, with white walls and green tiles, narrow on the outside and wide on the inside, self-contained. In the garden is a large garden containing flowers and plants of the four seasons, and a lotus pond has been dug with fish and shrimp. The rockery is lined up, the winding path is secluded, there are swings, there are pavilions, small bridges and flowing water, birds and flowers.

The courtyards are connected by a verandah, and the outer ring is a path paved with bluestone slabs, which can accommodate five people in parallel. The path leads to the garden with eight more paths.

At first glance, you can see that it is an imitation of Jiangnan architecture, graceful and soft. It is said that because Mrs. Tai's family is a family of military generals, her daughter's family also has to practice martial arts to strengthen her body. This is a good thing, but it inevitably makes the girl less gentle in the girl's family. That's why I specially invited a famous artist to design this garden, which collected many famous flowers and plants, just to neutralize the masculinity of the family.

Hui Lan snickered for a long time when she heard about it, the fourth cousin lived up to the reputation of the military general's family, and she was more powerful. Thanks to the old lady's foresight, although the girl in the family did not worry about getting married, she was also worried that she would suffer a loss in the future.

The so-called years are long, and the four seasons are only eternal. Therefore, these eight courtyards are named one by one: spring birth, summer growth, autumn harvest, and winter storage; Spring flowers, summer letters, autumn fruits, winter clouds. Hui Lan couldn't help but sigh that the name was good, the four seasons turned, and the years were long.

Because I don't want the yard to be empty for a long time, I don't want to be popular and look dilapidated, so the cousins don't live next to each other.

The eldest lady lived in Chunhua, the fourth lady lived in Xia Chang, the fifth lady chose Dongzang, and she could only choose from the two autumns when she lived in Huilan.

Huilan doesn't care, she has seen all these courtyards, and the layout is the same. The difference is only the decoration style, and the decoration of each room, the color and the flowers and trees are in line with the season of the name. Hui Lan likes it very much, and the two autumn characters are more attentive.

Several girls entered the eldest lady's Chunhua Residence, and even Xiao Qi was brought in.

When I entered the courtyard, there was a maid and a maid who greeted the sisters all the way into the main house.

The house is burning with a dragon and a smoked cage, and the warm fragrance is fragrant, warm as spring. As soon as they entered the door, their respective maids took off their cloaks and big clothes, and everyone easily entered the warm pavilion in the west and got on the kang.

The eldest lady only left two maids to serve in the warm pavilion, and asked the eldest maid Wangshu to lead all the maids brought by the girls to her room to drink tea and rest, so that they could talk freely.

When the maids had all the refreshments, dried and fresh fruits, the eldest lady sent the maids to open the velvet curtain of the warm pavilion, and then moved the red clay stove in and put it under the window to heat the copper kettle so that the house was not so dry.

"Sister Hui, it's okay now, you can go to the suburbs with us on the Shangsi Festival. Go to Changping, you can go hunting during the day, and go to Zhuangzi to soak in the hot springs and eat barbecue at night. Many nobles have Zhuangzi over there, and there are many designated people who go to the festival. On the second day, we can organize everyone to play polo, how about it? The fourth lady's eyes lit up, and she excitedly pulled Huilan's arm and arranged the two-day itinerary in one go.

The eldest lady smiled but did not speak, and the fifth lady held the teacup and gently skimmed the foam. But Xiao Qi loves to be lively, listening to what the fourth lady said is wonderful, she forgot to eat the dim sum, and said excitedly, "I'll go too, I'll go too." ”

The fourth lady nodded again and again, "Go and go, Sister Hui." After speaking, he looked at Huilan with a blank look.

This posture, this cute state, is a little similar to her pair of dog treasures that have grown up, and Hui Lan almost couldn't help but go up and stroke the dog's head.

It's good to be lively, but the reality is not, Huilan's eyes showed a look of yearning, and she said with a smile, "I was itchy when the fourth sister said, I was young before, and then I kept filial piety, and I didn't go out much." I don't know anything, it's all up to the fourth sister's arrangement. ”

The four ladies were overjoyed and were about to speak. I heard the eldest lady sitting outside reminding with a smile, "There is a holiday in the Shangsi Festival, but looking at the arrangement of the fourth sister, one day of vacation is not enough!" ”

The fourth lady had a bitter face, and the family attached importance to learning from top to bottom. Even if you don't learn well, it's not okay to miss class, and attitude is the most important thing.

She looked at Hui Lan pitifully, "Sister Hui, this is your first time traveling." The elders feel sorry for you and must want you to have a good time. You can help talk to the old lady, let's have one more day off! As he spoke, he shook Hui Lan's arm.

Hui Lan was a head lower than the fourth lady, and she was more rounded, but she was not stunned. was the cold hair that was raised by her delicate tone, and she couldn't hold back a shiver, "Fourth sister, are you uncomfortable in your throat?" ”

The eldest lady and the fifth lady both laughed when they heard this, but it was rare to see the fourth lady speak so softly, and they really didn't get used to it.

The fourth lady was easy to be coquettish for a while, and she was laughed at, so she made a big red face, pouted and snorted, and turned her head to ignore the sisters.

The eldest lady couldn't help but laugh and coaxed her sister, "Okay, it's a bit like a sister, let's drink some tea." It's still early before the festival, so even if you want to play, you don't have to be in such a hurry. As he spoke, he sent the teacup to the awkward fourth lady.

The fourth lady awkwardly took the tea, and drank it with the lid open.

Huilan can't bear to laugh and endure, it's rare to see the fierce and atmospheric four ladies coquettish and awkward, but it's really strange. Seeing that the eldest lady had exited, Hui Lan nodded again and again, "That's it, it's still early." ”

"Sister Hui'er Ming'er is going to live at her grandfather's house for a few days, and it's not too late to think about it when she comes back, the fourth sister tastes this golden silk date, which is rare sweet but not greasy." The fifth lady smiled lightly and handed over the small plate.

The seventh lady's mouth almost didn't stop, and she nodded again and again when she heard the words, which proved that it was delicious.

The fourth lady got off the donkey, put down the teacup, and forked a date with a small silver fork and ate it.

"I've been stuffy at home for a winter, I can't ride a horse, I can't hunt, I'm going to be bored." The fourth lady put down her fork, supported her chin with her arm on the kang table, and was depressed.

However, this winter is cold and snowy, and everyone is confined to outdoor sports. Even the physical education class is indoors, and the active like the four ladies is of course stuffy.

The eldest lady smiled and touched the fourth lady's hair, "You also said it, everyone is stuffy, Erlang, Sanlang and Liulang must be more uncomfortable than you." The elders also know about it, don't they feel distressed? You're really anxious. ”

Huilan nodded as she lazily ate. The elders of the family are not so pedantic and authoritarian, and they must know what the children think. And they are probably stuffy, seeing that spring is coming, who doesn't want to go out for a walk.

"The elders will be very bored, and when the time comes, you can invite the elders to go out and relax. As juniors, it is of course appropriate for us to serve and fulfill our filial piety. The fifth lady said with a smile.

The fourth lady's eyes lit up, and she was resurrected with full blood on the spot. The eldest lady and the fifth lady glanced at each other and looked at each other. Huilan smiled and ate melon seeds, and grabbed food with Xiao Qi by the way, she didn't know anything.

The fourth lady is the general wind direction, and as soon as she opened her face, the scene became enthusiastic. The sisters talked and laughed, and the interest came, inviting the eldest lady to play the piano and the five ladies to cook tea, and Huilan enjoyed the elegant art of the ancients.
