Because Mrs. Yang wanted to have a private conversation with her daughter, she asked the juniors to go out first. Du Shi had some housework to finish. After saluting, she asked her servants to wait on her and hurried back to her yard. [26nbsp;

] Cui Anhong, Yu Zhu and Yu Lan were left walking and chatting, because they were relatives and still underage, so they didn't worry about breaking the rules.

"Cousin, is it hot? Your face is so tanned... Hey, you didn't ride a horse just now, how could the carriage you made be exposed to the sun?" Yu Zhu saw Cui Anhongyu's delicate little face full of blush.

, his eyes were evasive, and when he looked over, he looked away like a frightened little rabbit. He really couldn't control the urge to tease.

Cui Anhong looked at his cousin's pink cheeks, and felt that there was nothing to hide under those clear and pure eyes. His mother had told him in private that maybe his aunt intended to let Yuzhu marry him, and let Yuzhu marry him.

Seize the opportunity by yourself. After all, my aunt is the old Marquis' favorite legitimate daughter. If I become her son-in-law, then my room can completely surpass the other rooms... However, this childish little cousin is really disappointing.

He deeply felt that it was a bad idea for him to have that idea.

"Nothing, I'm just a little thirsty." Cui Anhong made up his mind and decided to ignore his mother's opinion. If a man wants to get ahead, he still has to rely on himself...

After he figured it out, he no longer struggled. Cui Anhong's fair and handsome face regained its peace, and his eyes as clear as morning dew fixedly looked at Yu Zhu, looking so embarrassed that he would bully him again.

"Tea, tea - Hua Ruo is going to pour tea." Yu Zhu was embarrassed by those eyes, so he had to send the maid to pour tea to relieve the embarrassment.

Yulan's aura was fully activated, and the rose crystal and lotus-shaped jade hairpin on her head shone brightly in the sun. She smiled gently at Cui Anhong and said: "Cousin, please come here to rest when you are tired.

Wait a minute, Sister Zhu is young and ignorant, how can she let the guests stand under the sun."

Yu Zhu gained some moral knowledge and smiled more tenderly at Yu Lanyang, saying, "Sister Lan, we need to talk separately. Brother Hong and Aunt Sun's nephew are not the same people." After that, he didn't go.

Seeing Yulan's pale face, she stepped forward quickly and said, "Here, last time I saw your garden, it was very beautiful. My garden is not inferior at all."

Cui Anhong has watched the battle between concubines since he was a child. He didn't pay attention to it at all and followed it with a smile. After all, this Zhu sister is his cousin, and he naturally prefers her in his heart.

Yuzhu snorted coldly in his heart, Aunt Sun's group of relatives who were living in a shabby house were disgusting every time they came to complain about the autumn wind. They acted shamelessly and acted like they were here to collect debts. Aunt Sun's nephew was the most capable one among them.

There was actually one time when he was about to die at the gate of Deyuan, and he said that if his uncle didn't help him pay off his gambling debts, he would have no way of living anyway, so he might as well crash to death at the gate... In the end, he spent money to ward off the disaster, which made Lin Yuanzhi very angry.

His face was blue, and he almost abused his power and threw the guy into the prison of the Ministry of Justice.

Yulan bit her lower lip, stamped her feet and still chased after her. Although it was impossible for her to be the direct grandson of the Cui family, it was always good to have a good relationship - this was what Sister Hongdou taught her.

The main body of the garden is a large lake. There is a large continent in the lake, which was formerly called Baihuazhou. There are several bamboo poles planted on it. Horizontal houses are built beside the bamboos, with earthen roofs and thatched roofs. Surrounded by beautiful bamboos, it is called Zhongzhuzhai, which is separated from the Cuiyue Pavilion in the center of the lake by water.

Echoing the paired scenes, lotus flowers are not all over the lake, but gracefully bloom in the southwestern half. There are dozens of willow trees on the edge of the lotus-free lake, and the shadows of the trees are reflected in the water, like a brocade. There is a plum forest in the northeast corner of the lake.

, the leaves are lush and green, and although they don’t have the various fragrances of winter, they are quite interesting. Since her family moved here, Ms. Cui has reorganized the small bamboo forest in the east of Hudong, bending and overlapping the bamboo tops like an arch.

The verandah is also covered with vines, peonies, etc., which are very comfortable to walk under in summer, especially for the beauty of flowers. There are some fences in the south, where peonies, peonies and various seasonal flowers and plants are planted, as well as cinnamon, tangerine, apricot, and pomegranate.

Wait for flowering trees to ensure that there are flowers to enjoy in the yard all year round.

Yuzhu was very confident that he could relax in the yard. He smiled and led Cui Anhong forward. There was a hall with three couplets near the door and a platform behind the hall. He followed the winding and deep bluestone path and saw

Trees are planted randomly, and rocks are stacked to form a mountain. Skilled craftsmen have carved a small pond between the rocks. The water flows in a meandering way, and five-color koi carp swim freely in the water where fallen flowers float. Walking in, the path is meandering, and there must be something at every turn.

There is an undercurrent running through the pavilion, and the exquisite and small stone bridge is full of charm. After walking across the small stone bridge, you can see several pear blossoms on the other side. Through the looped window, you can see that two hibiscus plants have grown pink flowers.

Next to the exquisite and clear rocks, there are green and delicate banana trees growing in clusters, which look so cute with dripping water.

Cui Anhong took a deep breath, his handsome face was extremely relaxed, and he followed Yuzhu through the cobblestone path until he reached a small pavilion with stone tables and benches. Behind the pavilion was Qingzhaoxuan, "Hong

Brother, how's it going? This yard is nice, isn't it?" Yu Zhu knew the answer without asking, but she still asked casually. To be honest, this was the first time she had talked to a boy other than her brother in a long time, and she always felt a little...

Strange, can't find the topic.

Pushing open a simple bamboo door on the short wall behind the pavilion and entering a small room, Yu Zhu smiled and said, "I've been walking for so long, let's take a rest." When Cui Anhong heard the movement, he turned around and saw Yu Lan following behind.

She frowned and said warmly: "As guests wish, the host will do as he pleases." The maid in charge of this area quickly brought fragrant tea and warm heat-relieving soup, and then quietly retreated.

Cui Anhong picked up a cup of tea, took off the lower sash of the mullioned window with one hand, smiled at a quiet stream covered by thick grass outside the window, and said: "What a clever idea, how can it be so clever?"

, it’s like a fairyland.”

"If Cousin Hong likes it, come and take a look often. The scenery in this garden will definitely be different in four seasons." Yulan sat on the bamboo chair reservedly. Yuzhu was thinking as he looked at it, what if he went to pull out the chair now?

, then Yulan will definitely fall to pieces - who made her sit only a quarter of the way.

"Thank you very much. I'll come visit my aunt when I have time." Cui Anhong elegantly put down the teacup with colorful grape patterns and said politely.

After that, Yu Zhu seized the opportunity to let Cui Anhong talk about the outside world. This was a rare opportunity to understand the outside world. Cui Anhong was not impatient and kept telling the story slowly with a smile. The classmates in the school had something to say after class.

The master who taught the Four Books and Five Classics couldn't see clearly what kind of activities he was doing. He was shaking his head while reading all day long... Yu Zhu and Yu Lan listened with gusto and were very envious in their hearts. This was much more exciting than the life in the boudoir.

The result of being so fascinated was that until the maid sent by Cui came in, no one noticed that the sky had changed. Heavy black clouds were covering the sky, and the sky had become dark. I didn't feel it when I was sitting indoors, but I felt the strong wind when I went out.

With great success, Yu Zhu was blinded by the dust and walked forward quickly with tears in her eyes.

…

After seeing off Mrs. Yang and Cui Anhong before the rain fell, Ms. Cui breathed a sigh of relief and let Xiuyue help her take off her hairpins and big clothes when she went out to meet guests, and put on her homely clothes, which felt tight.

Her scalp relaxed, and Ms. Cui couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief. She hadn't gone out for a long time, and suddenly she felt a little uncomfortable. She looked at the sky outside, Ms. Cui pondered for a moment, and said to Liu's mother: "Over there

How are the arrangements going?"

Mother Liu inserted her fingers into Cui's thick black hair and massaged it gently. Hearing this, she smiled and said, "Don't worry, I did it some time ago. I guess it will happen in the next few days."

Mrs. Cui narrowed her eyes slightly and whispered: "If she hadn't been sent by Zou Shangshu, he was afraid that if he dealt with it, it would affect his career, there would be no need to spend so much effort."

"It's okay. Why do you like to give singers so much? When his daughter gets married tomorrow, I have to find a way to give some to his son-in-law." Ms. Cui stood up, muttered and walked a few steps. Suddenly her face changed and she quickly gave instructions.

Mother Liu: "Quickly, send a carriage to take the master back home. The rain is so heavy, how can you ride a sedan and ride a horse... Tell the coachman to hurry up, the rain is about to come down."

Mother Liu didn't say much and hurried out to arrange the carriage.

…

Soon it was raining heavily and the thunder was booming, which could not be heard.

When Lin Yuanzhi entered the room dry, what was waiting for him was a cup of steaming ginger mother's tea, with brown sugar and ginger added.

I felt mentally shaken.

Mr. Cui urged him to drink ginger tea, and then asked him to change clothes. "It's okay, the family's car arrived just in time, and it didn't rain at all along the way." Lin Yuanzhi helplessly put his hand on Cui's hand.

On Shi's shoulder, he stopped him.

"It doesn't matter if you're not wet in the rain. If you walk around in such a heavy rain, your clothes will be covered with moisture, which makes you most likely to get sick. Master, you'd better change into them."

Lin Yuanzhi had no choice but to obey.

After everything was cleaned up, the couple each held hot tea and talked.

"...It's a good thing we separated the families, otherwise this eldest lady wouldn't know how much trouble she would cause to the following sisters..." Mrs. Cui told everything that happened during the day, "I think the eldest sister-in-law

His face is very bad, and he still doesn’t know what happened... Anyway, it’s not going to be a good thing, and there hasn’t been a trace of it until now. If he’s covered up so tightly, I’m afraid something big is going to happen.”

Lin Yuanzhi's face gradually became serious, and he said angrily: "Lan Yatou is not allowed to have anything to do with that Hongdou in the future. Any invitations to treat guests will be pushed away for her." He stretched out his hand and knocked on the table twice, and then said: "She

It’s not too young, let’s make a decision on this marriage first. I see that there is a good person on the list you gave me. Please inquire in detail when you have time. If he is really outstanding in character, talent and learning, then make a decision first.

, wait until she gets her haircut before consummating the marriage." Lin Yuanzhi made the decision quickly.

Curving her lips, Mrs. Cui agreed softly: "I'll ask you carefully about my identity." It would be more reassuring for this concubine to keep her at home and embroider her dowry.
