While they were talking, Cheng Chun and Su Xubai arrived at the door of the other courtyard. Meng Shaoqing had already informed the manager, so when the concierge saw them, he warmly welcomed them into the other courtyard.
"Mr. Su, our young master has been waiting for you in the front hall for a long time!" When the manager heard that they were coming, he hurried over slowly.
"I'll come as soon as I go. You and Hongdou go to the wing to take a look first! If you need anything, just tell them directly. No need to be polite to Meng Shaoqing!" Su Xubai patted Cheng Chun on the shoulder, and then left with the manager, leaving behind
Chengchun and Hongdou looked at each other.
Fortunately, the person in charge was someone who knew what was going on and asked a girl to come over and guide the way. Otherwise, Chengchun and Hongdou would not know where to go if they were unfamiliar with the place!
Hongdou was quite critical of this: "It's true that the fifth master just arrived here and left my wife here alone! He doesn't know how to take care of others!"
Cheng Chun didn't care too much: "We are staying in someone else's house. Of course the Fifth Master must tell Mr. Meng that we have arrived, otherwise it will appear that we are ignorant of etiquette!"
Hongdou stopped talking.
The maid on the side was very discerning and led them forward with a smile on her face. She waited until they reached a courtyard and then said: "The prince told you earlier that the lady was injured and needed to soak more."
I want to soak in hot springs, so I arranged for my wife to stay in the south courtyard. The rooms in the south courtyard are smaller than those in the east courtyard, but they are much closer to the hot springs!"
Chengchun looked at the maid walking in front of him, smiled and thanked: "Please let me thank the Crown Prince on my behalf!"
The maid turned back to look at Cheng Chun, her eyes full of smiles and respect: "Madam, you're welcome, just call me Forsythia. Your Majesty has specifically told me to have more fun here, but don't go to the west courtyard next door.
Yes, there is a female guest living inside who is not easy to get along with!"
Chengchun nodded in agreement.
Although it is only a separate courtyard, it is also a former royal courtyard. It is much larger than the courtyard of Wuchang Marquis Mansion in the capital. Moreover, the courtyard is built on a mountain and the scenery is particularly good.
The maid waited until Chengchun and Hongdou put down the objects in their hands, and then said: "I will show you the way to the other courtyard. The courtyard is quite large and connected to the mountains and forests. If you are not careful, you can easily get lost!"
Chengchun, who originally planned to sit down and rest, immediately nodded: "Thank you, Miss Forsythia, for accompanying us for a walk!"
Forsythia smiled, with a slight dimple at the corner of her mouth, which was very pretty. It was precisely because of that smile that Cheng Chun subconsciously took another look at her.
"Madam, is there something on my face?" Forsythia was a little surprised.
"It's nothing, I just think you look really good!" Chengchun looked into Forsythia's eyes and said with a smile.
Forsythia was a little embarrassed and her face turned slightly red: "I'm kidding, I'm the most beautiful woman I've ever seen! I've never seen anyone as good-looking as I have ever seen!"
"That's ridiculous!" Chengchun smiled, and then followed Forsythia out.
"Young lady probably knows that this villa was originally a royal villa, and was later given to our old lady. Our old marquis has renovated it, but the overall appearance has not changed much!" Forsythia
As he walked forward, he said, "Going through the corridor over there is the hot spring pool. The male and female hot spring pools are separated, and there are rooms for changing clothes next to it!"
Chengchun followed and walked forward. When he reached a place, he happened to be at a high place. Looking up, he saw the red maples all over the mountains and fields, which was really beautiful.
When Forsythia saw that there were no footsteps behind her, she stopped and said, "Madam..."
"This place is so beautiful!" Chengchun looked at the red maple forest not far away and couldn't help but sigh.
"Yes, so many people come here to visit every year, and there are also a lot of people who want to stay with the young master for a few days!" Forsythia said with a smile, "But the young master said, this is the dowry given by our old lady to the girl.
, unless they are very close friends, they will not receive guests!"
"Then wouldn't I be too much of a bother?" Chengchun suddenly became a little embarrassed.
Forsythia quickly waved her hand: "Madam, don't say that, the prince said that you and Mr. Su are our distinguished guests!"
Chengchun was still a little embarrassed: "After all, I have caused you trouble!"
Forsythia didn't feel like saying anything else, so she just continued walking forward with Chengchun. The courtyard was very big, and it took almost half an hour to walk around.
When Forsythia sent them back, she said, "I'll have someone bring some snacks to you later. Madam, would you like to try the eight-treasure tea that our prince has improved?"
"Is that okay?" Chengchun was a little surprised.
"Of course!" Forsythia smiled and left.
This courtyard is quite big. After walking around, Cheng Chun felt that his ankles were a little sore, so he quickly sat down, bent over, and pinched his ankles: "This courtyard is so big. I originally thought it was just
We saw so much, but we didn’t expect it to be so big inside!”
"Who says it's not the case? After walking around for a while, there was something inside, and my feet were sore. This is just the backyard, and we haven't even gone to the front hall yet!" Hongdou sat down next to Chengchun, "Madam, I
I heard that there is an old monk who is particularly efficacious on the top of this mountain. Let’s go to the mountain early tomorrow morning and have a look. If we meet him, can he ask us for a fortune-teller to clear up our confusion?”
"You know a lot of things, and you also know that there is an old monk on the mountain!" Chengchun nodded the tip of Hongdou's nose, "You are a very well-informed little girl!"
Hongdou laughed: "It's rare for us to go out to play, so of course we have to know what's around us! But I didn't expect that we could come to this villa. This was the former royal villa, and I didn't even dare to think about it.
I thought, I never thought we could live here now!”
Chengchun nodded: "Actually, I didn't expect that. I originally thought we were just here to see the maple leaves, and then stay overnight in some inns or farmers' homes around here. I didn't expect to be able to stay here.
, and you can also go to a hot spring! I’ve never seen a hot spring in my whole life!”
Hongdou held Chengchun's hand and kept nodding: "Me too, me too, I always hear others say how comfortable it is to soak in hot springs, but I have never seen one. I didn't expect that there are actually hot springs here!"
"Then let's go together later!" Chengchun's eyes were full of stars, and she was really looking forward to it. He had never had the opportunity to see a hot spring in his whole life. Although he had heard it from many people, he just couldn't imagine it.
There is natural hot water in a place. Just thinking about it makes me feel very magical.
