Chapter 24 Brother and Sister

The brother and sister walked around to the backyard of Cihetang, turned east again, passed through a hallway, and went east all the way to a quiet courtyard.

Compared with the hustle and bustle of Cihe Hall, Yuheng Garden is quiet and serene. Everywhere you look, there is a lush green shade that moves with the wind.

The autumn wind blew through the hem and hair of the brothers and sisters.

"Young master." A thin woman in her early fifties saluted Gu Yuan cautiously.

The servants staying in this courtyard are rough envoys and maids, and they don't have the opportunity to serve the masters of the Hou Mansion on weekdays, so their behaviors, words and deeds are a bit rigid.

The old lady bowed her body and carefully sized up Gu Yanfei.

Ever since Mrs. Tai brought the eldest girl to Danyang City, there have been rumors in the mansion that there will be a new second girl in the mansion, could it be this one? !

"Second Miss will live here from now on." Gu Yuan said while scanning the deserted and deserted courtyard lightly.

Most of the old servants of the long house in the middle of the capital are now serving by Gu Yunxie's side, and it is not appropriate to transfer these people back to my sister. Some more loyal and reliable people must be selected.

Gu Yuan wondered in his heart where he could call some people over, but he tapped on his lips: "Second girl is what she says, and there must be no obedience. Otherwise, even if the long house is not what it used to be, I want to deal with you guys. My son can still do it."

He casually cast a sideways glance at the old lady, his eyes were as sharp as a knife's edge, and he possessed an aura of calmness and prestige.

The old lady agreed, and immediately called other people in the yard to greet the two masters together.

The arrival of the two brothers and sisters made the lifeless Yuhengyuan noisy, and the servants hurriedly started tidying up and cleaning.

"Sister, let me show you around."

When Gu Yuan faced Gu Yanfei, his expression softened again, and he led Gu Yanfei to walk inside without haste, matching her pace.

Every plant and tree here has memories of parents.

"Father and mother lived here after they got married. This is the swing that father built for mother."

"This small bamboo forest was planted by my mother in the year I was born, and she also planted those chrysanthemums... Mother likes to grow flowers very much, so father deliberately came out from this garden."

"The Taihu stone used in this rockery was sent by my uncle who sent people from thousands of miles away."

"..."

Gu Yanfei didn't know what Gu Yuan said, and she listened with gusto.

In her previous life, Gu Yanfei listened to Mrs. Gu's orders in everything. Under the arrangement of the other party, she lived in the Caiwei Courtyard on the northwest side of Cihe Hall. She had never set foot in this Yuheng Garden.

Gu Yuan walked all the way, talked all the way, and also talked a lot about the long house, including their father Xian Dingyuan Hou Gu Ce died in battle eight years ago, the late emperor used Gu Yuan as an excuse for being too young, Ce's younger brother Gu Jian inherited the title, who is now the Marquis of Dingyuan.

After about an incense stick of time, the brother and sister, who had circled around the courtyard, came to the main room.

The windows in the room are bright and clean, spotless, but empty, except for some cabinets, tables, chairs, beds and other necessary furniture, there is nothing else.

"Sister, from now on, when you live here, you can arrange it however you want, don't make yourself wrong..." Gu Yuan was interrupted by a soft meow.

The sleepy cat jumped up from Gu Yanfei's arms, flew from the window to a big tree outside the window, first stretched, and then happily rubbed its paws on the branch, "wiping" .

Gu Yanfei caressed casually the sleeves that had been wrinkled by the cat, smiling lightly.

Gu Yuan also smiled, his eyes were as gentle as water.

His younger sister is already so old, and he doesn't know what he can do for her when he sees someone who is about to grow up...

He racked his brains for a long time, then suddenly slapped his forehead, took out a few silver bills with a denomination of one hundred taels from his pocket, and stuffed them all to Gu Yanfei.

"If you have anything you want to buy, just buy it, and don't wrong yourself. If it's not enough, then tell me."

It's only four hundred taels here, which isn't too much, but Gu Yanfei knows that this is all of the elder brother's net worth.

There is a saying that parents are not separated. Mrs. Tai is still alive, so the Hou family has never been separated.

The eldest house has no private property, and even the dowry of his mother Xie is in the care of the Tai Furen. Gu Yuan's salary has to be handed over to the public school. On weekdays, he himself lives on the monthly money of the Marquis Mansion. At most, he occasionally has some extra money. , Only then did the money come down.

"Thank you, brother." Gu Yanfei took the banknote and smiled brightly.

A girl in her prime has a pretty face, she doesn't need makeup and jewelry, just a slight smile, just like a hundred flowers blooming, charming and charming.

Gu Yuan felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.

My younger sister is no longer an ignorant and innocent child. What he missed has already been missed. All he can do is spoil her and treat her as well as possible, so that she can always smile like she is now.

While talking, Juanbi served hot tea to the siblings.

Gu Yuan took a sip of the tea, frowned lightly, and called the old woman to order: "You go to my place to find Wutong and get a few cans of the best ones... Forget it, I'll go back by myself."

He couldn't help but sigh inwardly: What my sister lacks is more than just a pot of tea!

Thinking about it this way, Gu Yuan couldn't care less about drinking tea, and reminded him: "Sister, you just arrived, and you are tired all the way, so take a good rest, there are still many things to do these days." After finishing speaking, he left in a hurry.

Gu Yanfei watched his back disappear at the gate of the courtyard, and just went to the beauty couch for a while to take a nap.

The setting sun gradually set to the west, and when Gu Yanfei woke up, she was full of energy again, and was dragged by Juan Bi to visit her new boudoir.

The boudoir has been cleaned up in sevens and eights, and the few furniture in the house have been rearranged, making it simple and tidy.

Just like in Danyang City, there is a big desk by the window, but there is nothing on the desk, it looks empty.

There was no pond outside the window, so Juan Bi put a large blue and white porcelain vat the size of a washbasin on the desk, and there was nothing in the vat.

Juanbi said with a smile: "Girl, there are no fish now, and this servant will go out of the house in two days to buy two goldfish."

"Meow!"

The milk cat heard the sound and jumped into the big blue and white porcelain vat happily. He deeply agreed with Juanbi's suggestion, which means, the fish soup is good!

Gu Yanfei walked around the room, and just as she sat down, the mother-in-law came to report with a smile on her face, and Nanny Li from Cihetang came to see her.

Nanny Li is the most powerful confidant around Mrs. Tai, she always smiles at people on weekdays, not only has a lot of prestige in this mansion, but also has good popularity.

"Second Miss." Li Mama bowed her knees and blessed her with a smile on her face, and looked at the room that was still being tidied up calmly, with the corners of her mouth pursed.

If it wasn't for the young master's insistence, Mrs. Tai originally wanted the second girl to live in the Caiweiyuan, and she ordered her to tidy up the yard before going to Danyang City.

Now that the Caiwei Garden has been tidied up, it's better than what Yuhengyuan wants.

The young master is a man, after all, he is not careful enough.

Thoughts flashed by, Nanny Li didn't intend to remind Gu Yanfei that she could ask Mrs. Hou for some decorations from the storeroom, she just passed on a message with a smile: "Mrs. Tai asked you to come to the ancestral hall at this time tomorrow."
