024 Siblings

The brother and sister walked around the backyard of Cihetang, turned eastward, passed through an east-west hall, and went eastward to a quiet courtyard.

Compared to the lively atmosphere of Cihetang, Yuheng Garden is quiet and peaceful, and the place where you see is full of lush green shade, moving with the wind.

The autumn breeze blows across the hem of the brother and sister's clothes and the ends of their hair.

"Big Young Master." A thin and thin woman in her early fifties saluted Gu Yuan restrainedly.

The servants who stayed in this yard were all rough maids and rough maids. They had no chance to serve the masters of the marquis' mansion on weekdays, so their behavior and words and deeds were a bit rigid and restrained.

The woman bent and looked at Gu Yanfei carefully.

Since the grandmother and the eldest lady walked 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?!

"Miss Second Girl will live here from now on." Gu Yuan said, while glancing at the deserted and deserted yard.

Most of the old servants in the capital who were in the eldest house are now serving Gu Yunhao. It is not appropriate to transfer these people back to their sister. They have to choose some more loyal and reliable people.

Gu Yuan was thinking about where to transfer some people from, and he beat him up, "What the second girl says is, and you must not be lip service. Otherwise, even if the eldest wife is not as good as before, I will still be able to deal with you."

He glanced at the old man casually, his eyes sharp as a blade, and he had a momentum of no anger and power.

The woman agreed to the promise and immediately called the others in the yard to greet the two masters together.

The arrival of the brother and sister made the lifeless Yuhengyuan suddenly noisy, and the servants began to clean up and clean up in a hurry.

"Sister, I'll take you around."

When Gu Yuan faced Gu Yanfei, his expression softened again. He led Gu Yanfei into it slowly, cooperating with her steps.

Every grass, tree and object here has memories of their parents.

"After dad got married and he lived here, this is a swing that dad personally built for his mother."

"This little bamboo forest was planted by my mother when I was born, and the chrysanthemums were also planted by her... She likes to grow flowers very much, so my father came out from this garden."

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

“…”

Gu Yuan said everything that Gu Yanfei didn't know, and she listened with relish.

In the previous life, Gu Yanfei followed Mrs. Gu in everything. Under the arrangement of the other party, he moved into Caiweiyuan on the northwest side of Cihetang. He had never set foot in Yuheng Garden.

Gu Yuan walked along the way, and talked a lot about the eldest son, including their father, Gu Ce, who died in the battle eight years ago. The late emperor asked Gu Ce's younger brother Gu Jian to inherit the title, which is the current Marquis of Dingyuan.

After about one stick of incense, the brother and sister who had been wandering around the yard came to the main room.

The windows in the house are clean and spotless, but empty, with nothing but necessary furniture such as cabinets, tables, chairs, beds, etc.

"Sister, when you live here in the future, you can arrange whatever you want. Don't let yourself down..." Gu Yuan was just talking, but was interrupted by a soft cat moan.

The awakened milk cat jumped up from Gu Yanfei's arms and flew from the window to a big tree outside the window. First, stretched, then happily grinded its claws on the branches, making a "wipe" sound.

Gu Yanfei casually stroked the sleeves wrinkled by the cat, and his smile was shallow.

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

My sister is so old, and she is almost at the age of being in the hairpin, and he doesn't know what she can do for her...

He racked his brains and thought for a long time, then suddenly slapped his forehead and took out a few silver notes worth 100 taels from his waist, and stuffed them all to Gu Yanfei.

"If you have anything you want to buy, just buy it. Don't let yourself down. If it's not enough, tell me."

It's only 400 taels here, not too much, but Gu Yanfei knew that this was the whole fortune of the elder brother.

It is said that parents are not separated from each other. The grandmother is still alive, so the marquis's house has never been separated.

The eldest son had no private property, and even the grandmother of his mother Xie's dowry was in charge. Gu Yuan's salary had to be handed over to the Duke. On weekdays, he only relied on the monthly money of the Marquis' Mansion, and at most he occasionally saved up the money.

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

The girl who is in her youth has a beautiful face and does not need to be decorated with makeup or jewelry. She just needs a slight smile and is like a flower blooming, beautiful and indifferent.

A feeling of indescribable feeling appeared in Gu Yuan's heart.

My sister is no longer a ignorant and innocent child. She has missed it. All he can do is spoil her and treat her as well as possible so that she can always smile as casually as she is now.

While talking, Juan Bi served hot tea to the brother and sister.

Gu Yuan tasted a sip of tea and frowned gently, so he called the woman to instruct, "You go to my place to find Wutong to get a few cans of good ones... Forget it, I'll go back by myself."

He couldn't help but sigh in his heart: What my sister lacks is more than a can of tea!

Thinking of this, Gu Yuan didn't care about drinking tea anymore and reminded him: "Sister, you have just arrived and you are tired all the way. You have some rest first. There are still many things these days." After that, he hurriedly left.

Gu Yanfei looked at his back and disappeared at the gate of the yard, and then went to the beauty couch for a while to take a nap.

The sunset gradually sets westward. When Gu Yanfei woke up, he was energetic again and was pulled by Juan Bi to visit her new boudoir.

The boudoir has been cleaned up, and the few furniture in the house have been re-placed, simple and neat.

Just like when I was in Danyang City, a large desk was placed by the window, but there was nothing on the desk and it seemed empty.

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

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

"Meow!"

The cat came over and happily jumped into the blue and white porcelain tank. He deeply agreed with Juan Bi's suggestion, meaning that the fish soup is good!

Gu Yanfei walked around the house and just sat down, the old lady came to report with a smile, and Madam Li from Cihetang came to ask for a meeting.

Madam Li is the most capable confidant around the lady. She always faces people with a smile on her face. She is not only quite prestigious in this mansion, but also has good popularity.

"Second Miss." Madam Li smiled and bent her knees, looking at the house that was still being cleaned up with a calm look, pursing her lips.

If the eldest young master had not insisted, the eldest lady originally wanted the second girl to live in Caiweiyuan, so she would have told her to clean up the yard before going to Danyang City.

Now the Caiwei Courtyard is cleaned up. Xiao Guixiao is better than Yuheng Courtyard.

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

The thought flashed, and Madam Li did not intend to remind Gu Yanfei to ask Mrs. Hou for some decorations from the warehouse. She just smiled and said, "Mrs. Grandma asked you to arrive at the ancestral hall tomorrow."
