The Ups and Downs of Mrs. Yipin

Chapter 151 Rockery Rockery
Time passed quickly, and another year passed in a blink of an eye.

Fang Xiuyi's body has almost recovered, so Fang Xiuyi began to return visits to friends.During her previous recuperation period, her friends were very worried about her. They either came to see her to talk to her, or gave her various things.For this, Fang Xiuyi was undoubtedly grateful.

First, she went to Lu's mansion to see Yunniang.Although Yunniang doesn't interact with the outside world, Fang Xiuyi really puts his heart and soul out, helping her look after the children, helping her recover, and constantly making clothes for them, without any complaints.

"Xiuyi, why are you here? The weather is still very hot, and you don't have a good rest." Yunniang waited for Fang Xiuyi at the gate of the inner courtyard.

"It's been a few months? If I don't come out, I'll be moldy!" Fang Xiuyi affectionately took Yunniang's arm.Although she and Yunniang don't have many topics in common and their values ​​are not the same, they can still be called confidants when it comes to worldly things.

"Sipu is almost half a year old, time flies!" Yunniang touched Sipu who was hugged by the nanny, and the little guy fell asleep on the way here.

"That's right, time makes people old!" Fang Xiuyi said happily, but suddenly saw the rockery in the yard, "Eh? Yunniang, could it be my eyesight? Why do I think this mountain seems too small?" few!"

Once in the past, Fang Xiuyi felt very oppressed when he came in. In such an inner courtyard, a rockery had to be erected, which made the inside and outside feel gloomy.But looking at it now, it is obviously much smaller. However, under the rockery, there are still reclining chairs for Lu Yibei to rest.

"Hehe, isn't it just right to be smaller? Didn't you always say that it blocks the sunlight? Now that the rockery has been cut down, the yard is much more spacious. Go in and have a look, the room is much brighter!" Yunniang didn't let Fang Xiuyi was entangled in this rockery, "Go in quickly, this thing is nothing to look at."

"It's nothing to look at, but I'm used to seeing it. Now that it's getting smaller, I always feel something weird." Fang Xiuyi couldn't tell what it was, and always felt that there was something wrong with this rockery.

"It's okay, just watch it a few more times and you'll get used to it again!" Yunniang laughed.

"Maybe, but it's better to level it all." Fang Xiuyi didn't like this rockery at all, and he didn't know how Yunniang endured it.

"My lord, I went to see Yunniang today." Back in the mansion, Fang Xiuyi and He Huai'an talked about it.

"Are you ok?"

"I look at Yunniang, it doesn't seem to have changed. It's just that Yanming is married, and there is no child at home, and Lu Yuanwai is busy with business, so I feel that the Lu residence is a bit gloomy."

"You often talk to Chang Ning. She..." He Huai'an wanted to say something but didn't say it.

Fang Xiuyi thought why Huai'an still thought of Changning's attitude, but didn't ask.

"By the way, my lord, how did Yanming's mother die?"

"Why did you suddenly think of asking this?"

"Although Lu Yuanwai is very kind to Yunniang and everything goes according to Yunniang's wishes, I always feel that Lu Yuanwai is a bit fake." Fang Xiuyi was a little unsure, "But if you ask me why, I will I can’t tell, maybe I’m suspicious.”

"According to the investigation, Lu Yibei's first wife accidentally slipped and fell into the water, unable to be rescued."

"Hey, why did they fall into the water?" Fang Xiuyi asked again, "Speaking of which, it seems that Lu Yuanwai's two sons have never visited the capital for so many years."

"After Lu Yuanwai left, the business of the Lu family seems to have been affected, but fortunately, they can still maintain their dignity. Maybe there are many complaints."

"It seems that from this point alone, Yunniang is still lucky. At least there is a man who left home for her."

After his birthday, Siyuan wrote a letter saying that because of his performance in the past few years, he has been promoted to the defense.Fang Xiuyi was both happy and worried.Happily, in just a few years, Siyuan has been promoted several levels. What is worrying is that the higher the official position, the greater the responsibility and the more risks to take.But it's always worth gratifying.

When it came to the Dragon Boat Festival, for some unknown reason, He Huai'an offered to go to the Lu Mansion.This is the first time He Huai'an has made such a decision in several years.

"Why did your lord think of the Lu family today? Before..."

"I have complained to Lu Yibei to some extent in the past few years, but now it seems that I should go and have a look, especially the rockery you mentioned."

"After hearing this, why do you feel that the adults used to look at the rockery, not the people?" Fang Xiuyi laughed.

He Huai'an didn't speak, but silently helped Fang Xiuyi put on his coat.

The Lu residence is not very far away, and Fang Xiuyi doesn't feel anything when she usually leaves, but this time because of He Huai'an's company, she is still a little happy.

Because He Huai'an didn't tell in advance, Lu Yibei was not in the mansion.

"Changsheng..." Chang Ning was undoubtedly very surprised when he saw He Huai'an coming, she thought that He Huai'an might never step into the Lu residence in his life.

"Yunniang, my lord said that there is nothing to do today, so he came with me."

"Changsheng, come in and sit down!" Yunniang's expression was richer than before, and she was obviously a little excited.

"Yunniang, you don't have to be so polite, we are all our own people." Fang Xiuyi sighed secretly.

"I'm sorry, Nan Qiao is not in the mansion today."

"It's okay, we are here today mainly to visit you."

"By the way, Sipu didn't bring it here?" Yunniang was really kind to the children.

"He was sleeping when we left, so don't bother him."

He Huai'an didn't say much, drinking tea quietly, listening to the two women chatting.He also couldn't figure it out. These two people often met, but each time they had endless conversations.

"Changsheng, have you been busy recently?" Yunniang asked.

"It's okay." He Huai'an simply replied.

"My lord has come down from the official department now, so of course he is not as busy as before. It is a good thing to be able to accompany me and the children every day." Fang Xiu added a few more words as soon as he saw that He Huai'an had few words.

"Yeah, fortune and misfortune depend on each other, it's also uncertain." Yun Niang didn't seem to mind He Huai'an's indifference.

"I heard that Xiuyi always talked about the rockery here, and I want to go out and have a look." He Huai'an directly stated the purpose of this trip.

Yun Niang was a little surprised, but then hesitated.

"What, is it inconvenient?"

"No, the rockery is just outside, very convenient."

Yunniang's courtyard is very large, almost twice the size of Fang Xiuyi's main courtyard.However, because of the rockery in the east, the courtyard seemed a bit cramped.

This rockery, from the appearance, is still very exquisite and ingenious.

Fang Xiuyi has never liked this thing, so she has never observed it at close range, and this time she followed He Huai'an to take a closer look.

Perhaps because of the cold weather, the rockery feels cold to the touch.

"This rockery is well done, but the location is wrong. However, there are not many trees growing on it, and it seems a bit monotonous." Fang Xiuyi felt that the rockery was bare.

"Probably because these are stones, not suitable for growing trees." Yun Niang explained.

"Yes, that's right."

There is a transparent space under the rockery, with a table and a few chairs.

"If it's not bad in summer, it's good to drink tea and take a nap here, but it's not so beautiful when it's cold." In this weather, as soon as Fang Xiu came in, he felt a chill.

"Yeah, it's just a scene."

He Huai'an seemed to be very interested in this rockery, and he touched the rocks of the rockery from front to back without saying a word.

Fang Xiuyi is a bit strange, there is also a rockery in the mansion, but I have never seen him so interested before, perhaps it is because of the long time?

"Changning, I heard from Xiuyi that the rockery has become smaller?" He Huaian asked Yunniang.

"That's right. I always said that the rockery blocked the sunlight, and the room was a bit dark. So Nan Qiao asked someone to cut down the rockery, and it looks much better now." When Yunniang mentioned Lu Yibei, she was also full of happiness of.

"I don't know who designed and manufactured this rockery?"

"I heard from Nan Qiao that it was built by a friend of his in Suzhou. This friend heard that he was going to build a courtyard in the capital, so he took the initiative to help him build this."

"That friend Lu Yuanwai is really loyal. He actually came from the south for the sake of a rockery." Fang Xiuyi really admired such a friendship.

"I don't know the name of this friend Lu Yibei, where is he now?" He Huai'an asked.

"I didn't ask."

"My lord, do you want this friend to build a rockery in our mansion?"

"That's what I mean." He Huai'an nodded.

"Then when Nan Qiao comes back, I'll ask him."

"it is good."
