The bed curtains specially prepared for her confinement were so thick that they could not let in the wind or let in the light.
Lu Fenghe turned over and hugged a quilt, and unconsciously thought of Shen Nanxun again.
Reminds me of my boyhood.
I recognized this young hero at first glance and never thought about whether that young talent was my perfect match.
I tested my parents, but they had no intention of letting me marry far away.
Regarding Lu Fenghe's marriage, the Lu family never hid it from her.
Mrs. Guo, Mrs. Cheng, also asked her aunt to tell her that she wanted to marry the second son of her family.
Even though they were family friends and relatives, his parents still refused because the Guo family had lived in Kyoto for a long time.
My mother also considered letting her family return to the Zhao family. If she married back to the Zhao family, she would not be bullied no matter what.
But the only person who matched her age was her third cousin Zhao Mingxin. Since his cousin was determined to become an official, it would be a matter of time before he left Zhejiang and Zhejiang, so her mother gave up the idea.
Lu Fenghe knew that Shen Nanxun would either go back to the northwest or be in Kyoto, and would not live in the south forever.
If he reported it directly to his parents, they would not even inquire carefully about Shen Nanxun. Just marrying far away would be enough for his parents to refuse.
Lu Fenghe found out that his grandfather liked him very much, so he tried every means to go directly to his grandparents and persuaded Bago to tell her apart.
Simply looking at a young man, Lu Zhan feels that he is intimidating. But looking at his grandson-in-law, Lu Zhan feels that he is arrogant.
In order to get his grandparents to agree, Lu Fenghe did a lot of extraordinary things.
That's it, don't mention it, just pretend that you were young and frivolous and people didn't understand.
Lu Fenghe turned over again, his eyes swollen and sleepless.
He couldn't tell how many times he turned over and changed positions. Lu Fenghe finally felt a little sleepy. Suddenly there was movement outside and it was very noisy.
Lu Fenghe woke up and lay there quietly listening for a few breaths. The noise became louder and louder. She sat up, and as soon as she opened the bed curtain, she met Lu Fu's eyes, who carefully poked her head in.
"What's going on? Why is it so noisy? What time is it now?"
"Zi Mo, the small kitchen of Shanfutang has leaked. The woman on night duty in the big kitchen discovered it. Everyone has gone. There is Bihan Pond in the back. It is safe. Madam, please go to sleep."
"Are you really okay?" It was so noisy that Lu Fenghe really didn't believe that it was okay.
Lu Fu nodded heavily, "It's really okay. The big kitchen found it and alarmed the county prince. People in the front yard couldn't get in, so it was such a noisy situation."
Lu Fenghe looked out of the west window. There was a partition wall behind and he couldn't see anything. Maybe the fire wasn't really that big.
Yes, although the big kitchen is in the backyard, it is separated from the Wosong House on the west side of the front yard by a small river that is less than a foot wide and even less than half a foot wide at its narrowest point, several rows of pine trees and a parapet.
Sometimes, in order to save trouble in the large kitchen and not want to take a detour to deliver food to the county prince, they would pass it directly through the parapet.
If people want to move around, they can only take a detour through the courtyard gate.
The backyard is locked at night, usually at the end of the year or before the beginning of the new year. It was already the end of the year, and the woman on duty as the backyard concierge must have gone to sleep.
Lu Fu said again: "It's really okay. Madam, please go to bed first. This slave is listening."
Lu Fenghe lay down as he was told. Even if she went out now, it would be useless. "You ask everyone on duty in the yard to help."
"Got it."
There are many ponds in the backyard of Dingxi County Prince's Mansion. It is May and June again, and the water in the ponds is quite abundant.
There are three ponds in the house.
The largest is the Bitao Pool in the west of the backyard of the palace, which is big enough for boating. The water is imported from the Yongjing River in Kyoto outside.
Because it is too big and deep, I don’t plant anything specifically. Every year during the dry season in late autumn, before the freeze, I fish and clear out the mud.
The children are also restrained from going to the edge of the Bitao Pond easily, and the widened stone pavement in the veranda and garden in the middle of the backyard to the west is used as a partition.
The water from the Bibo Pool flows from the north to the Bibo Pool between the front yard and the backyard. The Bibo Pool is much smaller. Some lotus flowers are planted in it, and a lot of lotus roots are harvested every year.
There is only one row of small boats in the pond, and occasionally the mother-in-law takes the children to play for a while. There is also a path that leads directly to the pavilion in the pond.
The backyard is neat, with three courtyards running north and south, and two main roads east and west.
The water of Bibo Pond flows from the east to Bihan Pond between Shanfu Hall and Qinfang Pavilion. Bihan Pond is much smaller, only one and a half feet long and one foot wide. It only has some water lilies and koi carps.
The water in Bihan Pool then flows from the east side of Qinfang Pavilion to the west side and finally enters the courtyard, Xueqing Garden. It flows back to Bitao Pool from behind Xueqing Garden, and then back to the Yongjing River.
Moreover, the small kitchens are also located some distance away from the main house, not right next to the main house.
Lu Fenghe thought about it carefully and felt quite relieved.
However, this never happened in my previous life, so why did the small kitchen become leaky? I just hoped that it would be discovered earlier so that it would not involve the west wing of the main house.
Lu Fenghe had not been lying down for a few breaths when there was a loud noise, like the door being pushed open and mounted on the wall.
Lu Fenghe sat up in excitement, "What's wrong?"
Before his hands could touch the edge of the bed curtain, the bed curtain was lifted from the outside.
Lu Fenghe squinted his eyes and before he could see the person in front of him clearly, Shen Nanxun hugged him into his arms.
Lu Fenghe could even feel the violent rise and fall of Shen Nanxun's chest, and he was repeating, "It's okay, it's okay, it's okay."
Lu Fenghe's hand was also restrained by Shen Nanxun, so he could only raise his forearm and patted Shen Nanxun gently.
"What's wrong? Let me go first."
Shen Nanxun slowly let go of Lu Fenghe, "Are you scared?"
Lu Fenghe adapted to the darkness, and with the light coming in from outside, he finally saw the situation in front of him clearly. Shen Nanxun had probably fallen asleep, and a large cloak was worn directly outside his inner clothes.
Lu Fenghe shook his head, "I haven't, but can it be destroyed now?"
"I don't know."
"Ah?" Shen Nanxun came directly?
"When I heard the noise in Zhuyuan, the second door had already opened, and many servants came in from the front yard. I only heard that there was a leak in the small kitchen in the back yard, so I came right over."
"It's not Bailu Garden, it's Shanfutang. Go and have a look." Lu Fenghe urged.
Shen Nanxun sat motionless. Although he did not speak, his gesture was obviously rejection.
Lu Fenghe took off the bamboo leaves from his sleeves, and when he lowered his head, he discovered that there was some mud on the edge of Shen Nanxun's shoes. The mud was also mixed with the defeated bamboo leaves, and there were small scratches on the back of his hands from the bamboo leaves.
"Did you go to the bamboo forest?" Lu Fenghe picked up his hand and looked at it carefully, "It's a shame it's not deep."
Shen Nanxun watched her holding his hand and pursed her lips tightly.
"Did you really go into the bamboo forest?"
Shen Nanxun's Tingzhu Garden faces the county prince's Wosong Residence from east to west, and there is only a parapet wall between Tingzhu Garden and the backyard.
Next to the parapet is a small bamboo forest, and further to the south is the flower hall where Lu Fenghe used to deal with family affairs. Through the flower hall is Bailu Garden.

Matcha actually drew the layout of the Prince's Palace. If necessary, I can send it out. Wouldn't it be more intuitive?
Okay, added 10 more updates
I thought of a new counting method, this is the first full ten plus 1.0
