Chapter 248
Jianshui is like Bailian, pouring down from the mountain wall and converging into a stream pool under the mountain wall.

The lotus covered the fields on the water, and the blossoming white lotus swayed with the wind among the blue waves, like a fairy in white dancing around.

Among the green lotus and white lotus, the nine-curved wooden bridge winds and leads to the elegant wooden building by the pool.

Ning Yuezhao was standing by the wooden bridge, Jiang Nian had already stepped on the wooden bridge first, turned to look at her, "How is it, the scenery here is not bad!"

The breeze was blowing, mixed with the fragrance of lotus flowers and plants by the pool, blowing away the heat of summer, and also made Ning Yuezhao fully awake.

Just now, she was in a drowsy sleep, when Jiang Nian suddenly woke her up. She was drowsy and refused to get up.

Jiang Nian had no choice but to help her dress, got her into the carriage, and rushed all the way to the foot of the mountain in the outskirts.

The carriage didn't reach the middle of the mountain, so it couldn't go up, so it could only get off and walk. Ning Yuezhao was still yawning, and was dragged by Jiang Nian, walking along the mountain road in a daze.

A group of people climbed up the bluestone steps all the way, passed through a bamboo forest, and then saw this tranquil and refreshing beauty.

Ning Yuezhao stepped onto the wooden bridge and walked towards Jiang Nian.Standing among the green leaves, Jiang Nian, dressed in a blue cross-collared gown, looked so elegant, like a banished fairy, suppressing the greenery around him by three points.

Because she had been yawning just now, Ning Yuezhao's eyes were covered with a layer of mist at this moment, with a little confusion, and the twilight added a touch of soul-stirring to the clear and beautiful face.

"Is this your other courtyard?"

In the morning when Jiang Nian said he was going out of the palace for a walk, she thought it was just a stroll in the imperial capital, but she didn't expect that he would take her to the outskirts, where it was still such a beautiful place as in a painting.

Jiang Nian took her hand and smiled heartily, "You and I are usually in the palace, and it is rare to come here a few times a year. If it is my other courtyard, it will be a waste."

Covered by his generous palm, Ning Yuezhao felt very at ease, so she let him lead her to the wooden building.

"Could it be that you still want to set up a card at the foot of the mountain, so that people who come up to see the scenery will pay for road money? It won't be a waste." She joked.

Jiang Nian paused, but Ning Yuezhao unexpectedly stopped him, couldn't stop moving forward for a while, and bumped into Jiang Nian's chest.

Ning Yuezhao was slightly embarrassed, and was about to break free from his embrace, but was held tightly by him when she didn't want to.

His slightly joking voice sounded in her ears, "That's a good idea, let someone set up a card at the foot of the mountain tomorrow."

Ning Yuezhao pinched his waist, "You are so beautiful, so far away, who will come except us!"

Jiang Nian was startled by her sudden movement, and pressed her restless hand in a panic, but she took the opportunity to break away from his embrace when he didn't want to.

Ning Yuezhao stepped down a little, and performed lightness kung fu, which put a distance away from Jiang Nian, turned her head and gave him a smug smile, and walked towards the wooden building gracefully.

Jiang Nian was not in a hurry to catch her, and followed her a few steps away.

Ning Yuezhao was watching from the shore before, and didn't think how big the pool was, but now walking among the green lotus, she realizes how wide the pool is.After walking for a while, she came to the wooden building.

This three-storey wooden building is simple and elegant, with half built on the ground on the shore and half facing the water.The building is three stories high. On the first floor, you can see a spacious front hall and wing rooms with open doors.

Before entering the building, they heard talking and laughing from the wing room.

Ning Yuezhao looked back at Jiang Nian in puzzlement, she thought this was Jiang Nian's other courtyard, and the two of them would spend some quiet time together in this quiet place isolated from the hustle and bustle, but it doesn't seem to be the case now.

Jiang Nian walked towards her with a smile on his lips, but looked behind her past her.

Ning Yuezhao turned around and saw a person coming out from the building, and when he saw the person's face clearly, he couldn't help being startled.

The person who came was none other than Jiang Ye, the third son of the Jiang family!

Because Jiang Ye was infatuated with Xu Miaoyun, he was molested by his bad friends and did stupid things to moleste women. Later, he was punished by Ning Yuezhao, and he worked hard on the Linzhao River embankment for more than half a month.

Ning Yuezhao remembered that the last time he came to Jiang's house, Jiang Ye seemed to concentrate on studying, preparing for the next imperial examination, and now he should be studying at home, why did he appear in this suburb?
Jiang Ye has restrained himself a lot now, seeing the two respectfully salute, "Second Brother, Second Sister..."

Seeing Ning Yuezhao now, he felt a little uncomfortable.

Jiang Nian nodded to him, walked to Ning Yuezhao, and naturally put his arms around her shoulders.

Although Ning Yuezhao had doubts in her heart, she didn't ask in front of Jiang Ye.

But I heard Jiang Nian said: "Come here on a temporary basis, won't it cause you trouble?"

Jiang Ye said with a little panic: "How come, my brother is coming, and my brother is very welcome."

It can be seen that he is still a little afraid of Jiang Nian. This kind of fear was not seen when he was at Jiang's house last time.Ning Yuezhao was very curious about what Jiang Nian had done behind her back during this time, which caused Jiang Ye to cringe like this when seeing him.

Jiang Nian also entangled too much on this issue, Jiang Ye hurriedly led them into the wooden building.

The hall on the first floor is no different from that of a general big family. There are two rooms on each side. Through the open door, you can see the elegant furnishings inside. The side facing the water is built as a railing for benches. Hold a wine or a cup With fragrant tea and leaning on the railing, you can enjoy the green mountains, splashing clear springs, green lotus and white lotus, and lush forests and bamboos on the shore.Being in this world, I feel that no matter where I look at it, it is picturesque.

At present, only one of the four private rooms on the first floor is occupied, and judging from their attire, they should all be scholars.

The literati are so elegant, and there is a young woman in the room who is sharing tea for them.Looking at it from Ning Yuezhao's point of view, she could only see a slender figure from her back, and she didn't know what kind of water painting this woman conjured up, which made those scholars applaud.

"Curious?" Jiang Nian whispered in her ear, "I'll perform for you later."

At this time, the people in the private room noticed the situation outside and couldn't help showing curious expressions.

A young man and a woman stood in the hall. The man was dressed in green shirts like bamboo, and he was handsome; the woman was bright and beautiful. Needless to say, the goose-yellow double-breasted skirt and pea-green pleated skirt looked like bright primroses in spring.Whether it's clothing or appearance, the two are extremely matching, attracting the attention of others.

A handsome and free-spirited man explained a few words to the guests, and then walked towards Jiang Ye and the others. It seemed that he was the host of the group.

"Third Young Master is really amazing. Before your 'Lou Wai Lou' officially opened, there are already a lot of customers coming in like a cloud. I really admire you!"

"Brother Yu offended me, it's just that my friends came here to save face."

The man acted gracefully, and after complimenting Jiang Ye a few words, he turned to Jiang Nian and Ning Yuezhao, "In Yu Congxiao, meeting is fate, can we make friends?"

Ning Yuezhao felt that the name sounded familiar, but couldn't remember where she heard it.

Jiang Nian cupped his hands at him, "I'm Jiang Huai, this is my wife."

Yu Congxiao looked at the two of them, and said with a smile: "Young Master Jiang, Mrs. Jiang, it's a pleasure to meet you!"

Jiang Nian also smiled gently, "It's an honor to meet Mr. Yu."

"The Xian and his wife are deeply affectionate, so Yu will not bother."

Yu Congxiao had just seen the extraordinary bearing of the two of them, so he wanted to make friends, but after getting closer, he felt that although the two people's clothes were not decorated, the materials and details of the embroidery patterns were exquisite, and the words were even more revealing. Exuding an inviolable noble air.

Seeing that the two of them seemed to have no intention of being with others, he went back to the private room wisely and continued to chat with his friends.

Jiang Ye slightly lowered his voice and said, "Let's go upstairs first."

Even though Jiang Nian and Ning Yuezhao went out in modest clothes, their appearances were too outstanding, and it would be eye-catching to stand there casually. Jiang Ye hurriedly led people upstairs, lest anyone would come to talk to them.

The layout of the second floor is a bit different from the first floor. There are only two rooms, but they are very spacious. They are divided into an inner room and an outer room. The inner room is equipped with wardrobes, beds and other things. But it has more functions for people to live in.

Jiang Ye led the two of them around the second floor and then went up to the third floor.

The layout of the third floor is even more ingenious. The entire floor is surrounded by walls on three sides, the windows are fully open, and the four sides are transparent. The side facing the water is still built with railings.The whole floor is divided into three parts. The innermost part is the sleeping place, which is separated by screen bead curtains. There are tables, stools and arhat beds in the middle. Rocking chair, a round table.

The wind chimes hanging on the corner of the eaves rang softly in the evening wind, and the curtains swayed, adding a sense of tranquility in the twilight.

Ning Yuezhao walked to the railing, and the pond was full of green lotus and white lotus. The mist from the clear spring would float into the railing from time to time under the breeze.

In the distance is the setting sun that begins to sink into the top of the mountain, and the nose is full of elegant lotus fragrance. Standing here, I feel like I am in a dream.

Jiang Ye tactfully retreated a long time ago. Jiang Nian walked up behind Ning Yuezhao, wrapped his arms around her waist from behind, and folded his hands on her lower abdomen.

"Do you like it?" He asked softly.

"So-so..." Ning Yuezhao said vaguely, before she finished speaking, she was startled by a warm wave next to her ear.

Jiang Qingnian bit her earlobe, "Not honest."

Ning Yuezhao turned around and pushed him, "You are dishonest!"

Jiang Nian hugged her even tighter, and smiled a little mischievously, "My lady knows her husband very well."

Ning Yuezhao couldn't bear his hippie smile, and was about to reach out to twist his waist, but Jiang Nian grabbed her hand and held it tightly in his palm.

He has been pinched countless times by her today, and he has learned to be good.

"What's going on here?" Ning Yuezhao stopped arguing with him and asked seriously.

Jiang Nian pulled her to sit on the rocking chair, "This is the place where I studied when I was young. Of course, this wooden building was not so exquisite and spacious. Later, when I went to study in all directions, this place was deserted. I almost forgot There is such a place..."

Having said that, he sighed lightly.

Ning Yuezhao guessed that the matter should have something to do with Jiang Ye, she shrugged indifferently.

"After the beginning of spring, my father urged Brother Ye to study and test his grades, and sent him to an academy in the suburbs of Beijing. But in April, Qian Yang, the shopkeeper of Tingfeng Tea House, sent a message to me, saying that he saw Brother Ye and some My son and brother are having fun in the imperial capital."
