major general please wake up early

The small courtyard of Louyuan is on the south side of Loufu.It is said to be a small courtyard, but in fact it is not small at all, it is only exquisite that makes it look like a "small courtyard".In the southeast corner of the courtyard is a small two-story building with exquisite cornices, small and elegant, but it was not newly built in two years, but moved from the mansion in Bianjing as a whole like the tall plane tree in the courtyard.The Lou family is also rich and powerful, such a small matter can't affect anything except to mobilize the teachers - on the contrary, it adds a lot of chatter after dinner: Lou Zhi can't forget his deceased concubine, even if he moves to Xinjing, You should bring along the embroidered building that was hidden in the golden house and the phoenix tree planted by the dead concubine.

The door of that small building is locked all day long, the key is in Louyuan's hand, he can enter anytime he wants.There is a pool in front of the small building, which is newly dug, and the water lilies in the pool are planted by Louyuan - all the flowers, plants and trees in this yard, except for the phoenix tree, are planted and tended by Louyuan himself.There are goldfish in the pool, and a small bridge is built beside the pool, which is actually a copy of the "Yuyue Xiaozhu" where I lived when I was a singer when I was young.

Except for a corner of this "Yuyue Xiaozhu", the courtyard is also very different from other courtyards.People's courtyards are flat and open, but Louyuan's courtyards are different: the main house occupies two-thirds of the courtyard, separating the front and back yards.Two-thirds of it is the front yard, which is full of low flowering trees, and paths are paved under the trees, which are somewhat winding and secluded, with stone tables and chairs arranged.The yard is carefully planned, and after more than ten years, the tree will grow taller and bigger without affecting the lighting of the room; the north is the door, the east and west sides have side rooms, and the south is the main room.

Huo Xiangzhen was arranged in the side room on the east side.Ximian Fangfang said that there was a genius doctor named Wu who often visited Louyuan, so it was specially prepared for him.The east and west side rooms are connected to the side rooms on the left and right sides of the main room, and a circle of wooden corridors connects them as a whole.There are no steps up and down, but slopes, which are convenient for the entrance and exit of the building, and even the threshold is smoother and lower.There are also a few copper wind chimes hanging under the eaves, which are very similar to the home of Huo Xiangzhen and Louyuan in Yuzhou in the past.

In one third of the backyard, a kapok tree was planted near Louyuan's room, so that Louyuan could see it when the window was opened.This is a big tree directly transplanted from a nursery near Xinjing. It has already grown out of the roof, but it is very similar to the magnolia tree at the home of Huo Xiangzhen and Louyuan in Yuzhou.There is also a well in the backyard, and a large open space with bamboo poles for drying clothes and bedding.

Because Louyuan came back a few steps ahead of them, he was sitting outside his room at this moment, watching with cold eyes the servants tidy up Huo Xiangzhen's east side room that had been vacant for two years.

In fact, that room... Forget it, since he lives in it, it's nothing.Louyuan thought for a while, but still didn't make a sound, decided to ignore them, closed the door, turned into the outside room, and went straight to the window.His room is also separated from the inside and the outside, the inside is for him to live and rest, no outsiders will enter, the layout is simple in line with his temperament.The outer room is used for entertaining guests, so it is decorated elegantly, but also concisely. There are only tables and chairs, a red clay stove for heating and tea making, a desk and a parrot shelf.

On a parrot stand by the window stood a cockatiel.Generally speaking, this cockatiel is timid and loves to flop, so it is not suitable for raising, because it is easy to break its feet.But Louyuan is safe, because it is not tied by an ankle chain at all, it can fly away at any time.For example, at this moment, it flew to Louyuan's shoulder, and affectionately said:

"Fifth Young Master! Little Louyuan! Little Louyuan!"

Louyuan raised his hand and tapped the parrot's forehead with his index finger: "Long time no see, starling, do you miss me?"

"miss you!!"

This "starling" doesn't just simply imitate people's words, Louyuan has cultivated it for three or four years, so it is of great use.Louyuan drove the wheelchair to move under the parrot stand, bent over and picked up a bunch of millet, and brought it to the starling's beak: "Your mouth is sweet."

"I want peanuts! I want peanuts!!"

The starling flew back to the shelf, Louyuan smiled and shook his head: "Then wait for me to go out and buy it for you. I remember there is no stock at home."

"No more! No more!"

Lou Yuan went to the table in the middle of the room again, and took a sip of the tea that had already warmed up.Sip it, it was made by the little boy in his room.The child was called Mengshan, and he was the personal servant that Lou Zhizhi brought him to take care of the daily life when he came back to Lou's house four years ago.It's just that the child was really young, he was only seven years old, and he was not as tall as a building when he was standing.Louyuan remembered that the child had grown a lot taller, and was about to lament the passing of time, so he took another sip of tea to quench his thirst.Before he could swallow it down, the door of the room was knocked open with a bang, only to hear Meng Shan hastily say: "Young Master, run away! Miss Wen San is looking for you!!"

"Pfft!..." Louyuan took a sip of tea and sprayed it all the way, "Who?!" Looking back at his little boy, the little boy rushed over to push his wheelchair:

"Miss Wen San!! She knows you are back today!"

Counting at that girl's speed...

Louyuan tremblingly said: "Mengshan...don't push..." He didn't even dare to turn his head, "She should have already arrived at the door..."

"Ah?!" The little boy, Meng Shan, looked back, "Ah!—" He was really standing at the door! !

Miss Wen San is also very pretty, with red lips, white teeth and bright pupils, long black hair tied up in a big braid and tied up with red silk, and a bright red dress with narrow sleeves, what's so convenient?Louyuan probably made it easier for this "extraordinary" lady to go up the house and up the tree; there were two jade bells hanging around her waist, which made crisp sounds as she walked.

At this time, this charming young lady was looking at the master and servant in the room with her hands on her hips, and rushed into the room, grabbing Xiao Mengshan by the ears:

"Okay, you little brat! Join your master to avoid me?!"

Of course, she didn't use much effort, but Xiao Mengshan probably learned Louyuan's cunning, and grinned: "Oh! It hurts! It hurts so much!!"

Knowing that she was pretending, Miss Wen San stopped her hand, and then pushed Mengshan out:

"Go, go, go!! I have a relationship with your young master!"

Mengshan looked worriedly at Louyuan, but Louyuan saw Huo Xiangzhen who was looking towards him in the yard and under the flower tree through them.So he waved his hand: "Mengshan, you go. Close the door by the way."

Mengshan walked out the door anxiously, and closed the door smoothly.Huo Xiangzhen outside the door asked him, "What's going on?"

Mengshan cried and said with a mournful face: "Miss Wen San came to look for my young master again! She likes fourth young master but dare not say it outright, she always comes to make things difficult for my young master!"

Huo Xiangzhen thought for a while: "Could it be that Miss Wen San is difficult to deal with?"

Mengshan almost yelled: "Wow, she is not only difficult to deal with! She is so scary! She is good at martial arts and can play tricks!"

Huo Xiangzhen wondered why he was so obsessed with Yun Muhao when he was a child, and asked: "Then why does she keep looking for your son? Can't your son refuse her politely?"

Mengshan seems to be very, very, and especially mourning for Louyuan: "It's not that my son is so popular that even Dr. Wen Feiqing from Taixue can't teach him. Miss Wen San is Dr. Wen's daughter... so I took this Rely on my son."

Huo Xiangzhen seemed to understand the girl's rogue strategy, so he remembered that he forgot to ask the little boy's name, so he asked.Mengshan answered him, and Huo Xiangzhen recited two lines of poetry leisurely:

"Rolling up the curtain, looking at the moon and sky and sighing, the beauty is like a flower separated by the clouds. The sky is long and the road is far away, and the soul flies away, and it is difficult for the dream soul to not reach Guanshan."

But Meng Shan nodded: "Yes, the fifth son named me from here. I asked him what it meant, but he didn't tell me."

Huo Xiangzhen was taken aback for a moment, and then explained: "That is to say, I miss a person very much, but he is too far away from me, and I can't even dream of him. This is the difficulty of not being able to reach Guanshan."

Meng Shan seemed to understand and nodded, then tilted his head: "Then, who is the young master missing?"

Huo Xiangzhen had already turned around and walked out the door, but chuckled softly: "Yes, who do you miss?" It is said that Louyuan really likes the glutinous rice and candied melons in the old shop in Jin's Hutong.
