All Hail Cousin Brother

After Yu Youyao arrived in Xiangping, he should live in Wumu Wangfu's mansion to ensure safety, but Xie's family did not want to be separated from Yu Youyao.

Yu Youyao's current status is not suitable for them to live under the same roof.

King Wu Mu arranged two adjacent houses, which was also a compromise.

Yu Youyao didn't want to be separated from Xie's house either. She got along with Xie's house, not like coquettish with her grandmother in Yu's house.

But the real family actually doesn't need to bother to please each other. They care and respect each other and take care of each other's mood. Naturally, they are inseparable family.

Zheng shi said warmly: "This journey is also hard work, so I will go back to rest first, and have a family reunion dinner in the evening, which can be regarded as cleaning the dust for you."

Yu Youyao has filial piety, and it is not easy to hold banquets at home.

The two houses are built on the top of a hill, and there is a veranda across the mountain in the middle, which is like a "green belt", dividing the two houses into two, like a Pisces.

At the veranda through the mountain, there are sparsely ancient trees, strange rocks stand up, and the shapes are strange.

A side door opened in the middle of the two houses, and after passing through the side door, Yu Youyao saw a half-person-high green stone standing at the door of the opposite house. The stone naturally presented a scene of lakes and mountains, and greenery.

The characters "Yu Garden" were engraved on it by Long Feifeng Dance.

Yu Youyao fixedly looked at these two familiar words, and her eyes became wet.

Zheng Shi smiled: "This piece of Laoshan green stone has the texture of jade, the color is semi-transparent, and it is unclear. Under different lighting, it will reflect different scenery, which is very strange. King Wu Mu named Chu Zhaizi. [Yu Yuan], the characters on it were also carved by him."

In the Great Zhou Dynasty, women could not establish households for women, and women could not live alone without their relatives.

The word "Yuyuan" seems to have broken the shackles imposed on her at this moment. She can't live alone without her family, but she can enjoy a unique house and live according to her nature.

Yin Huaixi has always understood her, and Yu Youyao chuckled: "Yu Yuan, it's pretty good."

Zheng sent Yu Youyao to the next door and came back.

Yu Youyao was in high spirits, and she didn't care that the injuries on her feet were not yet healed, so she wanted to visit the house.

Aunt Xu couldn't beat her, thinking that she had only walked a long way, so she ordered Jiading to carry her shoulders: "Let Dongmei accompany you to go shopping, this journey is exhausting, I will go to the small kitchen to help you prepare a medicinal bath, by the way Get some food ready."

The layout of the courtyard is based on the image of the situation. A jade belt brook is winding and winding, deep and secluded. The promenade stretches along the undulating mountains, winding into the pavilion, and the mountains and rocks reflect it.

Reveals the rich, simple, sparse and natural, unrestrained.

After walking around, we arrived at the main courtyard.

Looking at the gate in front of the courtyard, where the original plaque was still empty, Yu Youyao suddenly said, "There are nine moves in the world, Zhao Jiude, and the nine moves are Jiu Shao, so it was renamed Jiu Shao Yuan."

From now on, it will truly belong to her.

Dongmei supported Miss and walked around the main courtyard.

Dongmei came early and introduced: "The layout of the main courtyard is somewhat similar to that of the Yishui courtyard. His Highness personally found skilled craftsmen and renovated them according to the requirements. His Highness said that the young lady is used to living in such a house. The same, but also a little more comfortable.”

As soon as Yu Youyao walked over, she saw large and small pebbles laid on the ground. The colors, shapes, and patterns of the pebbles were ever-changing, showing a myriad of patterns.

Dongmei explained: "Xiangping is cloudy, humid, bitter and cold, and Your Highness is worried that the young lady will not be able to live in it. Anshan is rich in bluestone, but bluestone is not as heat-resistant as pebbles. His Highness ordered large-scale sea pebbles that were polished and smoothed in the courtyard. The sea pebbles absorb moisture and prevent cold. In winter, the ground dragon is burned, not only heat-resistant, but also heat-transferring, in summer, sprinkle some water on the ground, it can relieve the dry and hot air, warm in winter and cool in summer.”

There are few large sea pebbles, and the largest can reach more than 30 feet (about 10 meters).

The yard occupies a large area, and it is not easy to polish the sea pebbles. It is impossible to complete it in just three months. I wanted to come to Yin Huaixi early in the morning, so I arranged for someone to make preparations.

It really took a lot of thought.

Dongmei supported Yu Youyao and finally stopped under the old elm tree in the courtyard.

Coincidentally, this is also a purple elm tree, which is older than the Xie mansion. Layers of green clouds spit out from the dragon's mouth.

Yu Youyao thought of the old elm tree growing up with her mother in Yishuiyuan: "Is this purple elm planted here from the beginning?"

Dongmei nodded: "Exactly."

The purple elm tree was full of leaves, and Yu Youyao couldn't help laughing: "Another day, let Aunt Xu make elm leaf pie to eat, and when the elm grows out, you can also make elm egg pie."

In the main house, there are exquisite fleece blankets, and the furnishings in the house are compared to Yishui Garden. In addition, a heated kang, a kang table and a fireplace are built with pebbles.

Yu Youyao soaked in the medicinal bath, washed away the tiredness of the car and horses, and suddenly felt a long-lost feeling of stability.

Aunt Xu brought lunch.

In addition to light and nourishing medicinal porridge, eggs, mushrooms, etc., we also prepared cold elm leaves and baked golden and crispy elm pie.

The fresh and tender elm leaves taste very fresh, with a little sweetness, which is a very simple and natural taste.

In the cold weather in the north, wooden beds are not suitable.

Considering that Yu Youyao was accustomed to the Qiangongbabubing bed, Yin Huaixi built a Qiangongbubufu bed around the kang bed, which was no different from the Qiangongbabubing bed she usually slept in. It is not as moisture-resistant and comfortable as elm, so the materials are old purple elm.

The kang bed is covered with a jade blanket woven with jade pieces.

Yu Youyao was a little tired after spending a few days on the road, so she took a nap for a while.

When I woke up, it was already time.

Chunxiao waited on Yu Youyao's grooming: "Uncle Sun and Butler Wen of the Wumu Palace are here."

Yu Youyao said quickly: "When did Uncle Sun come here? Why didn't you wake me up?" She thought about it, and then asked: "The housekeeper of the Wumu Palace is surnamed Wen? But the old man next to the old princess?"

The old princess's maiden name was Wen.

Dongmei picked up a cyan cloud brocade, tangled branches, flowers and leaves, and a round neck and big sleeved jacket and said, "Uncle Sun is here too, please let the servants not disturb the princess. As for housekeeper Wen, she used to be the old princess' roommate. It is very trustworthy to His Highness that the renovation of Yu Garden earlier was also managed by Wen Guan’s family, both inside and outside of the house.”

Yu Youyao asked about Steward Wen, then got up and went into the side room to change clothes.

Xiangping is relatively bitter and cold, and the clothes should be heavier. The top with round neck and large sleeves, which is as long as the calf, is matched with eight pleated skirts. The skirt is two or three inches. The lower part of the skirt is one or two inches. The lace, as a presser foot, moves like a water pattern, rolling fine spray.
