Chapter 46
Hui Lan was enthusiastically dragged by the Fourth Lady to Nianhua Residence, and Liu Lang wanted to follow, but was ruthlessly dragged away by the two cousins.

There are currently two girls living in Nianhuajuli. The fifth lady is old. After the New Year, the yard has been tidied up, and things have been moved here one after another. They will move when a good day is chosen.After Hui Lan passed her eighth birthday, she would also move in.

This building was drawn out and built by the old lady alone, mainly for the girls in the family to live in.It is for the girls to live independently after the age of eight, to exercise the ability to manage the private houses of the servants in the yard, and to strengthen the relationship between sisters.

Looking down from the sky, the entire Nianhua Residence is a circular building with a large area.The circumference is a circle of eight courtyards next to each other, with white walls and blue tiles, narrow outside and wide inside, forming a self-contained body.In the garden is a large garden containing four seasons of flowers and plants, and a lotus pond was dug, with fish and shrimps in it.There are many rockeries, winding paths leading to secluded places, swings, pavilions, small bridges and flowing water, and the fragrance of birds and flowers.

The courtyards are connected by hand corridors, and the outer circle is a path paved with bluestone slabs, which can accommodate five people in parallel.The path extends with eight more paths leading to the garden.

At first glance, you can tell that it is an imitation of Jiangnan architecture, graceful and soft.It is said that because Mrs. Tai's family is a family of military generals, her daughter's family also has to practice martial arts to strengthen her body.This is a good thing, but it will inevitably make the girl lose the gentleness of the girl's family.That's why I specially invited famous artists to design this garden, collecting many famous flowers and rare plants, just to neutralize the masculinity of the family.

Hui Lan snickered for a while when she heard about it, but the fourth cousin lived up to the reputation of a family of military generals, she was rather tough.Thanks to the foresight of the old lady, otherwise, although the girl in the family would not worry about getting married, she would be worried that she would suffer in the future.

The so-called years are long, and the four seasons are only eternal.So these eight courtyards are named one by one: Chunsheng, Xiachang, Autumn Harvest, Dongzang; Chunhua, Xiahan, Qiushi, Dongyun.Hui Lan couldn't help sighing that the name was well chosen, the four seasons rotate, and the years are long.

The cousins ​​did not live next to each other because they didn't want the yard to be empty for a long time, making it look dilapidated.

The eldest lady lived in Chunhua, the fourth lady lived in Xiachang, and the fifth lady chose Dongzang. When Huilan moved in, she had to choose from the two autumns.

Hui Lan didn't care, she went in and looked at these courtyards, and the layout was the same.The only difference is the decoration style. The decoration, color and flowers of each room match the season of the name.Hui Lan likes both of them very much, and the two characters of autumn are even more caring.

Several girls entered the Chunhua residence of the eldest lady, and even Xiao Qi was brought in.

After entering the courtyard, there were maids and mother-in-law to greet them, and welcomed the sisters into the main room all the way.

The earth dragon is burning in the house, and the smoked cage is burning, and the warm fragrance is fragrant, warm as spring.As soon as they entered the door, their respective maids took off their outer cloaks and clothes, and everyone easily entered the warm pavilion in the west room and got on the kang.

The eldest lady only left two maids to serve in the Nuan Pavilion, and asked the eldest maid Wang Shu to take all the maids brought by the girls to her room to drink tea and rest, so that they could talk freely.

After the maids had served refreshments, dried and fresh fruits, the eldest lady sent her maid, Cuiwei, to close up the velvet door curtain of the Nuan Pavilion, and then moved the small red clay stove under the window to heat the copper kettle so that the room would not be so dry.

"Sister Hui, it's all over now. You can go out with us for an outing in the countryside on the Shangsi Festival. Let's go to Changping. You can go outing and hunting during the day, and go to Zhuangzi to soak in the hot springs and eat barbecue at night. There are many nobles there. Zhuangzi, there are quite a few people who are going to celebrate the festival. How about we organize everyone to play polo on the second day?" The fourth lady's eyes lit up, she pulled Hui Lan's arm excitedly, and arranged the itinerary for the two days in one go up.

The eldest lady smiled without saying a word, and the fifth lady held the teacup and gently skimmed off the froth.On the contrary, Xiao Qi loves to be lively, and after listening to what Si Niangzi said, she forgot to eat any snacks, and said excitedly, "I'll go too, I'll go too."

Fourth Lady nodded repeatedly, "Go, sister Hui." After speaking, she looked at Hui Lan anxiously.

This posture, this cuteness, is somewhat similar to her pair of grown up dogs, Hui Lan almost couldn't resist going up to stroke the dog's head.

It's good to be lively, but the reality is not. Huilan's eyes showed longing, and she smiled innocently, "I feel itchy when I say what the fourth sister said. I was young before, and then I kept my filial piety, so I didn't go out very much. Nothing. I don't know, it's all up to my fourth sister's arrangement."

The fourth lady was overjoyed and was about to speak.The eldest lady sitting on the outside reminded with a smile, "Shangsi Festival is a holiday, but judging by Simei's arrangement, one day's holiday is not enough!"

The fourth lady immediately had a bitter face, and the whole family paid attention to study.Even if your studies are not satisfactory, it is not acceptable to miss classes, attitude is the most important thing.

She looked at Hui Lan pitifully, "Sister Hui, this is your first time traveling. The elders love you very much and hope that you will have a good time. Please help the old lady and give us an extra day off. Go!" said while shaking Hui Lan's arm.

Hui Lan was a head lower than Fourth Lady, and rounder, but she wasn't dizzy.It was because of her delicate tone that the thunderous hairs stood on end, and she couldn't hold back a shiver, "Fourth sister, is your throat uncomfortable?"

Both the eldest lady and the fifth lady laughed when they heard the words, but it was rare to see the fourth lady talking in such a soft voice, she was indeed not used to it.

Si Niangzi finally acted coquettishly for a while, and was laughed at, she blushed immediately, pouted her lips and snorted, turned her head and ignored the sisters.

The eldest lady suppressed a smile and coaxed her younger sister, "Okay, I'm like a big sister, let's have some tea. It's still early for the Shangsi Festival, so don't be in such a hurry even if you want to play." She said and sent the teacup to the awkward Si In the hands of the lady.

Fourth Niangzi took the tea awkwardly, then took off the lid and drank it awkwardly.

Hui Lan couldn't hold back her laughter, it was rare to see the tough and majestic Fourth Lady acting coquettishly and awkwardly.Seeing that the eldest lady had exited, Hui Lan nodded again and again, "That's right, it's still early."

"Sister Hui will go to stay at my grandfather's house for a few days tomorrow. It's not too late to think about it when I come back. Fourth sister tastes this golden silk candied date. It's rare to be sweet but not greasy." Wu Niangzi said with a smile. , hand over the small dish.

Qiniangzi hardly stopped talking, and nodded repeatedly when she heard the words, proving that it was delicious.

Si Niangzi went down the donkey, put down the teacup, and ate a jujube with a small silver fork.

"I've been bored at home all winter, I can't ride a horse, I can't hunt, I'm going to be bored." The fourth lady put down the fork, put her arms on the kang table and propped her chin up, depressed.

This is true, today's winter is cold and snowy, and everyone is detained and unable to do outdoor sports.Even physical education classes are held indoors, so of course she gets bored if she is so active.

The eldest lady smiled dotingly, and touched the fourth lady's hair, "You said it too, everyone is bored, Erlang, Sanlang, Liulang and the others must be more uncomfortable than you. The elders also know the appointment, don't they feel distressed? You Yeah, I'm really anxious."

Hui Lan nodded while eating lazily.The elders in the family are not that pedantic and authoritarian, so they must know what the children think.And they are probably bored too. Seeing that spring is coming, who doesn't want to go out for a walk.

"The elders must be very bored. When the time comes, we can invite the elders to go out and relax. As juniors, of course we should serve and be filial." Wu Niangzi said with a smile.

Fourth Lady's eyes lit up, and she was revived on the spot.The eldest lady and the fifth lady looked at each other, taking care of each other.Hui Lan ate melon seeds with a smile on her face, and snatched some from Xiao Qi. She didn't know anything about it.

The fourth lady is the general wind direction, as soon as she opened her face, the scene immediately became lively.The sisters were chatting and laughing, and the interest came later, asking the eldest lady to play the piano, and the fifth lady to cook tea. Hui Lan enjoyed the elegant art of the ancients.
