Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 1561 Those things about ancestors 76.0
As Shen Cha told Song Jue, Xue Ruitian was the supervisor and Hongye was in charge, and a dozen servants in the Hou Mansion were responsible for it. It took three full days to clean up the entire Hou Mansion from top to bottom, inside and out. They even replanted the flowers and plants in the garden, and they looked much more vibrant than before.

"Although it's not spotless, it's much cleaner than when Brother Xiaotian lived by himself." Shen Cha looked at Xue Ruitian, "It's not that Brother Xiaotian can't take care of the house, it's just that he's too lazy to take care of it on weekdays."

"It's okay." Xue Ruitian yawned, "Anyway, apart from sleeping here every day, I'm usually in the Duke's Mansion or Daying. As long as it's clean and habitable, it's enough. If a prince is coming, I won’t be so diligent.” Seeing Song Jue and Bai Meng staring at him at the same time, he slightly raised his eyebrows, “Don’t look at me like that, before today, I didn’t know you two He ran out of Xijing City so boldly, and followed the two princes to the border."

"Speaking of which, the last time I came here, I was basically in the Zhen Guogong Mansion. When I had nothing to do, I would go to Daying for a stroll, or go to the most lively and prosperous places in the city. , Feel the smoke and fire of the people, but here, I don’t seem to have been to the Hou’s Mansion, which is separated from the Duke’s Mansion by a wall?” Song Jue looked at the big tree next to him, touched it casually, and then looked at the gardener who had just planted it. After two days, Xiao Hua said with a smile, "This is also the first time I have visited the Hou Mansion in a serious manner, isn't it?"

In the last question, he looked at Bai Meng, who nodded slightly. He had seen it a few times, but it was not as detailed as this time.

"After reading it, how do you feel? There is no place beyond the rules in my mansion, right?"

"Let's not talk about you, even Haolin and Xiaocha don't overstep the rules. Don't worry, even if there is, I will turn a blind eye or close one eye. But..." Song Jue disgusted He curled his lips, "You guys are not in a style that is likely to go beyond the rules. I hope you will put more thought into it, but none of you are willing!" He rolled his eyes, "However, the difference between the Hou's Mansion and the Duke's Mansion is still Pretty big."

"Of course." Xue Ruitian nodded, "How can I say that I still have a bit of life here, don't you? Look at the Duke's Mansion, the atmosphere of home, it is indeed there, but there is something wrong with it It's not right."

"It's because it's too serious over there." Song Jue put Xue Ruitian's shoulders on his shoulders, and raised his eyebrows at Bai Meng, who was a little sluggish because of the busy travel these days, "Is it?"

"Brother Xiaojue, we can't admit the word serious. The Duke's Mansion is not a temple. Why should we be so serious? We just compare..." Shen Cha thought for a while, hesitated, and said, "Our place is just a little Be polite, nothing else. After all, we spend a lot of time in the Duke's Mansion, and we are closely connected with the camp. Several generals also come and go frequently. We can't let them come every time. You don't think we're serious here, do you?"

"Hey, Xiaocha, I'm not very happy to hear your words." Xue Ruitian raised his eyebrows, "Where is the Hou Mansion not serious?"

"It's not a bad idea to be unprincipled, it's just..." Shen Cha thought for a while, "As Brother Xiaojue said, the breath of life is too strong, so it's not suitable for discussing official affairs."

"That's true." Xue Ruitian nodded, "They don't come to the Marquis' Mansion very often because they think it's a private place, but the Duke's Mansion, we all feel that it's actually no different from Daying. Sometimes, we don't go to Daying , They went to the Duke's Mansion to find us if they had something to do, and they didn't think there was anything wrong."

"That's true." Jin Miaomiao nodded, putting his arms around Shen Cha's arm, and said, "The style of the Hou's mansion is actually not like a general's mansion, it's not that tough, although there are no pavilions, It's a rockery lake, but it looks much more refined than our Duke's Mansion, and with the addition of these flowers and plants, it looks softer."

"However, if we hadn't tried our best to stop them..." Xue Ruitian pointed to Shen Haolin and then to Shen Cha, "They can't wait to set up camp in the Duke's Mansion. The situation is pretty good now, don't force them , otherwise it will be counterproductive."

"Understood." Song Jue nodded, pointing to the flowerbed next to the little purple flowers, "This flowerbed..."

"Isn't it a bit against harmony?" Seeing Song Jue nodding, Xue Ruitian chuckled, "This was originally a rockery, and there was also a small pond for raising fish, but it was filled in later and turned into a flower garden." He glanced at it Shen Cha saw her touching her chin in embarrassment, and smiled, "Don't feel embarrassed, mother doesn't like that pond very much either, so if you fill it up, just fill it in, there's nothing wrong with it."

"What's going on?" Song Jue looked at Xue Ruitian and then at Shen Cha, "Who will explain?"

"It was the first time I came to the Hou Mansion when I was a child. When I passed by this pond, I accidentally fell into it and fell ill for a long time." Shen Cha sighed softly, "Later, Aunt Xue felt very guilty, so she gave this pond to me. Filled out."

Speaking of this, Shen Cha suddenly thought of something. She turned her head to look at the location of the flower garden, and then thought about the secret room they had been to before. She frowned slightly, looked at Xue Ruitian who was looking towards her, and raised her eyebrows slightly .

Based on years of tacit understanding, Xue Ruitian immediately understood what Shen Cha meant. He also looked back at the flower garden, and thought about the place that had been filled into a secret room before, and sighed softly.

"What charades are you two playing?" Song Jue looked at this and then at that, "It looks weird."

"We have figured out something that we have never been clear about." Shen Cha smiled, "This matter has nothing to do with the overall situation, Brother Xiaojue, don't worry." She pointed to a yard in front and said, "Now Xiaojue Brother has to make a choice, the courtyard in front is the main courtyard of the Hou Mansion, and now it is the residence of Uncle Ning, Brother Xiaojue..."

"Uncle Ning will continue to live, and I will live in another courtyard." Song Jue said in a low voice, "I dare not ask Uncle Ning to change places. Uncle Dai Wang and Uncle Huang are not allowed to roll their eyes at me every day. I want to spend more time here." It's a comfortable few days, so I dare not provoke them. Besides..." He looked at the people who had already entered the main courtyard in front of him, "Uncle Huang and Uncle Dai Wang definitely want to live in the same courtyard as Uncle Ning. Far from them, free from their yoke."

"You have a good idea!" Xue Ruitian rolled his eyes, "Actually, the main courtyard is not good, the real good is my original courtyard." Seeing Song Jue's expression, he chuckled, "I That courtyard is very interesting, you will know after a while."
