Wuwang reminds book friends to rest their eyes

On the plaque on the gate of the other courtyard, there are two words "Guanyue" written on it.

The name may not be elegant, but fortunately, it is suitable for the occasion, whether it is climbing a height or facing the water, it is a good place to enjoy the moon.

The scenery in the courtyard is not very clear in the night, Shu Huan only knows that the inside is very big, with lush vegetation and complicated corridors. The steward here led them inside, and introduced in a rambling manner: "Every time the old lady comes back, she lives in the Rose Pavilion. I wonder where the second and fourth masters like?"

Gu Xiran thought for a while and asked, "Is there a hot spring here?"

"Yes." The manager smiled and said, "It's the hot spring water brought down from the mountain."

"Which place is closer to the hot spring pool?"

The steward replied: "Rose Pavilion, Pinzhu Pavilion, Fufuzhai, Chongyang Courtyard..."

Before he finished speaking, Shu Huan asked curiously, "Fufuzhai? What a strange name."

. "

"The orchid is in the empty valley, and it is fragrant and fragrant." Gu Xihe snorted and said: "My cousin likes to show off her literary talents. We'd better not bump into her this time, or I will be scared if I hear her talk about those piano, chess, calligraphy and paintings." Headache"

"Cousin?" Shu Huan had no idea about the relatives of the Gu family, so he didn't know who the cousin he was talking about was.

Gu Xihe said impatiently: "It's my aunt's daughter, the granddaughter of the Taijun."

It turns out that Gu Baozhuan, the daughter of the old matriarch, was married to the Zhang family who was related to the magistrate, and gave birth to a son and a daughter. Zhang Hanfang.

In ancient times, married daughters, as long as they married not far away, still retained the custom of going back to their natal home to spend the summer. Of course, girls from poor families like Shu Huan were not among them, so Gu Baozhuan often came to Guanyue Bieyuan after marriage. Children, don't worry about keeping them away from your side, so you bring them with you. Until the old lady of the Zhang family passed away three years ago, she took over the work of managing the house with full power, so she couldn't be free.

The old lady loves to be lively, and her daughter can't come to the other courtyard for the summer, so she often sends someone to pick up her grandson and granddaughter to come and laugh with her. As time goes on, it becomes a routine, even if the old lady doesn't come occasionally, they will Come and stay for a while.

The person in charge explained: "All the orchids are planted in Fufuzhai. Ms. Zhang likes it, so she chose to live there."

Gu Xihe rolled his eyes in disgust and said: "She is sick and said that all the flowers and plants in the world are vulgar, only orchids are noble and elegant, so she asked someone to pull out all the other flowers and plants in Fufu Zhai."

Hearing what he said, the steward didn't know how to answer, so he rubbed his hands together in embarrassment.

"Rose Pavilion." Gu Xiran, who hadn't spoken for a long time, said at this time: "I live in the Rose Pavilion, Pinzhu Pavilion is reserved for Dr. Ji, and the Chongyang Courtyard... grows chrysanthemums?"

The steward hurriedly replied: "Yes."

"Let's keep it for Du Qiu."

Gu Xihe hurriedly said: "Then I want to live in Feixu Pavilion, which is closer to my second brother and farther away from Fufuzhai.

. "

As he spoke, he smiled triumphantly: "Cousin hates catkins the most, she can sneeze, haha..."

Before the laughter fell, Shu Huan suddenly remembered the dog hair incident and asked, "Can't you sneeze?"

Gu Xihe seemed to be strangled by someone, his laughter was decisive, but he still said willfully: "I don't care, I want to live"

Shu Huan glanced at him, he really has a childish temper

The person in charge didn't know who Dr. Ji and Du Qiu were, and didn't ask any further questions. Seeing that they had already chosen a place to live, they hurriedly called people to move things and pack them up.

Gu Xi and Lu Shu took them to the Rose Pavilion, and couldn't help but ask, "Second Brother, why did you choose to live here?"

Shu Huan knew what he meant. In ancient times, there was a strong concept of respect and inferiority. Generally, the place where the elders lived was left vacant by the younger generation to show respect. Unlike Gu Xiran, who would occupy it carelessly, he pricked up his ears to listen to his answer.

Of course, the answer is the standard Gu Xiran formula.

He said: "I only choose the old lady who has lived in it. The things used in it must be more complete than other places. Anyway, it is a waste to be empty. What does it matter if you live?"

Gu Xihe scratched his head, but stopped talking.

Gu Xiran smiled and said, "Are you afraid that the Majesty will be unhappy if he finds out?"

Gu Xihe was quite respectful to the old matriarch, and he didn't dare to tell his right and wrong behind his back. After hearing him make it clear, he nodded and said: "Yes."

Gu Xiran didn't answer, but just showed a playful smile.

Shu Huan felt that she probably understood the meaning of the smile. Anyway, Gu Xitian took over the business at the top of the Gu family, and Gu Xihe was spoiled at the bottom. He was not favored in the first place, no matter how respectful he was, he would still not be favored. Be an idle young master who can do whatever you want in the middle, let yourself live comfortably first.

Of course, whether Gu Xiran really thinks this way, she dare not say for sure, but she doesn't have any big ambitions, as long as she can live a leisurely and happy life, draw her favorite paintings, do her favorite handicrafts, see different scenery, and appreciate simple things. Happiness, for her, such a life is perfect enough.

The Rose House is exactly what its name says

.

The yard is surrounded by a log fence, covered with pink roses in full bloom, and the whole yard is full of pleasant fragrance. There is a path behind the museum, leading to the hot spring pool. You can enjoy the fun of soaking in the hot spring without walking a cup of tea. What surprised Shu Huan most is that the hot spring pool here is actually open-air

It turns out that the ancients were not always conservative and feudal.

Of course, there are still high wooden boards outside the hot spring pool, covered with roses with dense branches and leaves, which tightly block the small gap between the boards and the boards. When enjoying the hot spring, you can let the maids They are guarding outside, so there is no need to worry about being peeped.

Beside her is a fragrant rose, and above her head is the deep night sky. Under such a view, if you are soaking in a hot spring, there is a bowl of sour plum soup with ice in hand...

While fantasizing, Shu Huan took a deep breath of the fresh and fragrant air, feeling that the ancients were really good at enjoying it. Of course, it was Gu Xiran who was able to enjoy it even more. waist, put his chin on her shoulder, and said with a soft smile: "Lady, we can take a mandarin duck bath..."

She turned her head and saw under the moon and moon, Gu Xiran's eyes were as clear as water.

Being molested a lot, even a thin-skinned person can become shameless, not to mention that Shu Huan was not a lady who lived in ancient times, so he was only slightly embarrassed, and then he gave him a sideways glance as if nothing had happened, and said with a smile: "Okay, I Find two mandarin ducks to wash with you"

Gu Xiran was silenced by her for the first time, and when he looked back again, the beautiful scenery not far away was secretly holding back his laughter, he immediately cleared his throat, and said seriously: "Did you hear, the second grandma wants mandarin ducks, go find them quickly Come."

"Ah..." Meimei was quite clever, and after a moment of surprise, she knew that the second master thought she was getting in the way by staying here, so she turned around and ran away, and said: "The servant girl will go find it now."

Shu Huan almost burst into tears.

Gu Xiran, the bad guy, made the beauty who was always well-behaved and obedient become black-bellied
