Part 1: Intertwined Time and Space Chapter 4: Trip to Li Country
Chapter 301 Qinghu Villa (1)
Yueqing sat in the car, nestling next to her mother. They talked happily about the interesting things they would do in the new place.
The lady heard what she said was interesting and kept laughing beside her. She even talked a lot about her melancholy when she left the house.
"You girl, how can you come up with so many crazy ideas?"
"Mom, what do you mean by a ghost idea? This is an idea I have thought about for a long time."
"Okay, it seems like mother can't take any time off anymore. I'll hear you making trouble in the courtyard every day from now on."
"It's good to be noisy. I'll teach my mother some new ways to play and invite ladies from the capital to come and play with you. Only when people are noisy can they be happy. It's uncomfortable to stay in the room every day. Woolen cloth."
The lady looked at her daughter with relief. She didn't know that her daughter was always thinking about herself.
The carriage stopped, and Qi Jiao said from outside the carriage: "Miss, we're here."
Qing'er opened the car curtain outside.
Yue Qing poked her head out and saw Yue Chi standing in front of the car, looking at her with a smile, and Mo Xue and others stood behind him.
Yue Chi stretched out his hand, "Miss, we're here. Yue Chi will help you get out of the car."
Yue Qing looked at him and said, "Thank you." After saying that, she put her hand in his. She found that Yue Chi liked to help her get out of the car as long as he was around.
Yue Qing stood still, turned around and helped her mother, "Mother, come here."
Xiaoye was on the side helping Yueqing help his wife get out of the car.
The lady stood still, glanced at Yue Chi, and saluted, "I have met the head of the Yue family."
Yue Chi accepted her salute and said, "Madam, you don't have to salute in the future."
The lady lowered her eyebrows and nodded.
Seeing that they had finished interacting, Yue Qing turned to look at the wide open courtyard door in front of her. From outside the courtyard, you can see the lush rockeries and flowing water inside. The environment outside the courtyard was also very quiet. Yue Qing did not see any homes nearby, but instead there was a green bamboo forest. There is a plaque hanging on the courtyard door with four characters, and Yue Qing recognizes two of them.
After tilting his head and looking for two seconds, Yue Chi said next to him: "This place is called Qinghu Villa. It was named because the courtyard is connected to a clear lake. After the villa was bought, the name was not changed. Does Miss have a name that she likes? "
Yue Qing said: "Qinghu Villa? The name is very nice. It looks very quiet from the outside. It must be very comfortable to live there."
Yue Chi said: "I know the lady likes this style, so I picked the place specially."
"Why doesn't the original owner of this yard want to live in it anymore?"
Yue Chi said: "It's not that I don't want to live there anymore, I just agreed to transfer it to us."
"Did it cost a lot of money?"
Yue Chi smiled: "Not much, not even one-tenth of Qingyue Pavilion."
Yue Qing had no idea and nodded. Looking at the people standing at the door, apart from the original members of the villa that Yue Qing was familiar with, many of them were unknown to her, and there were also a few that she knew, such as Liu Zhi who sent flowers to Yue Qing and those who returned to Li Country with Yue Chi. some people. There were nearly a hundred people lined up on both sides. There were not a few Qingwei, and only a few stood guarding the door. They seemed to be all important people.
Yue Chi said: "I know that Miss is moving into a new house today. People from our villa near Li Jing want to come and see Miss. These people are all from the villa. From now on, they will work for Miss when she is in Li country."
Yue Qing was amazed at how many people there were: "There are actually people from such a villa in Li country."
Yue Chi said: "They are mainly members of the Yue family. There are many members of my Yue family in every country. I will tell you how to identify them later."
Yue Qing nodded. He raised his hand and said hello to everyone: "Hello family members I know and those I don't know, please take good care of me in the future."
Everyone saluted: "Congratulations to the master of the hospital on his new move."
Yue Chi made a gesture, "Okay, miss, don't stand outside the hospital for a long time. Let's go in and take a look."
Yue Qing nodded.
When everyone entered the yard, they saw no houses in front of them, only trees, flowers, grass, rockery and pools, and a wide, long and curved wooden bridge extended into the woods. This is the first time Yue Qing has seen a yard of this style, but it really suits Yue Qing's aesthetics.
Yue Qing smiled and asked Yue Chi: "Is this the original courtyard like this?"
Yue Chi said: "No, these were recently remodeled according to Miss's preferences."
Yue Qing blinked, "Okay. Who designed it? It suits my taste very well."
Yue Chi didn't say anything, and Mo Xue said: "The head of the Yue family designed it himself."
Yue Chi said: "How can I understand the lady's preferences so well? Deacon Xue and Deacon Ke gave me a lot of advice."
Yue Qing nodded: "The head of the Yue family also knows how to design gardens."
Yue Chi modestly said: "I know a little bit."
The wooden bridge is very wide and can accommodate five people walking abreast without being crowded. The surrounding air is very humid and the bridge is clean and tidy. There are railings on both sides of the bridge, and there are even exquisite carvings on the railings. Yue Qing touched these patterns and felt that the wooden piles were delicate and comfortable to touch, unlike ordinary wood. "How long have you been buying this yard?"
Yue Chi smiled: "Miss, the deal was completed the day she arrived in Li country."
"Isn't it just a few days?"
"It's really only a few days."
“These railings were also rebuilt later.”
Yue Chi nodded.
Yue Qing opened her mouth and sighed: "It's amazing."
Yue Chi said: "What's the point? The most important thing the Yue family lacks is skilled craftsmen, as long as the young lady can live comfortably."
Yue Chi led him to continue walking forward. There was running water flowing in the forest. Yue Qing looked over and saw that it was a clear spring, clean and clear.
Yue Chi said: "This clear spring is the living water connected to Qinghu Lake."
Yue Qing nodded.
Yue Ke said: "It is not easy to find such a courtyard. It has to be close and meet the young lady's wishes. The head of the Yue family has been choosing for a long time. This was not the courtyard that was originally chosen. Knowing that the young lady likes this style, it was temporarily changed. In several places.”
Yue Qing looked at him: "There's another matter, Yue Chi, when did you decide to change your style?"
Yue Chi said: "Miss, do you still need to remember the first courtyard where you lived in Li country?"
"Oh, remember, your temporary courtyard."
Yue Chi nodded, "It was only then that Yue Chi knew that the young lady liked this style."
"I do like it, but it was just a talk at the time. Who knew you would spend so much money to do this."
"Miss, you are wrong. With your status, living in a place like this is a bit frustrating. It's a pity that I haven't found a more suitable place."
"What else are you looking for? It's already very good. I like it very much."
Yue Chi said with a smile: "At last, all the hard work has paid off. Miss, you can just play around in this courtyard. No one will disturb you for ten miles around this courtyard."
"Why, no one lives around here anymore?"
"Yes, they have all been moved. This area is within the scope of this courtyard and has been registered with the government."
Yue Qing no longer knew what to say.
While walking, Yue Qing and others arrived at the residential area while listening to Yue Chi's introduction.
"This area is where the lady receives guests. It is divided into two large and small halls. There is also a resting place in the corridor in the middle."
Yue Qing stood in the corridor in the middle, looking at the running water flowing in the middle. There were soft chairs and round tables every other place, and the flowers and plants around were mostly elegant.
Yue Chi then smiled and said: "I heard that Miss likes to watch these water flows and rivers, and also likes to fold flowers and throw them into the water, so there are such living water channels in all places in the courtyard. When Miss wants to throw flowers, she just throws them into the water. Just watch them float away."
Yue Qing said: "Isn't this river very long?"
"That's right, it's very long, and there are interceptors in each courtyard. The lady can also choose to have no running water flow in a certain courtyard."
Yue Qing squatted on the wooden bridge, "The water looks very clear, and are there stones underneath?"
"Yes, they are all paved with marble and cobblestones."
"Can I drink it?"
Yue Chi frowned: "Miss, it's better not to drink."
"oh."
Mo Xue said from the side: "Deacon Shen will prepare tea and drinks for the lady everywhere. If you need to drink this cold water, it will hurt your body."
"Let me tell you, the water is so clean, and there are aquatic plants in it. Are there any fish?"
Yue Chi said: "There are no fish in the river, but there is a fish pond in the courtyard for viewing."
"Yeah." Yue Qing stood up.
"The courtyards on the left and right are guest rooms. They are used by people who usually come to the lady's courtyard to do business and the lady's guests."
Yue Qing looked at the arches on both sides not far away. From the high walls, she could see many buildings in the courtyard.
"Are there many rooms inside?"
"Quite a few. After all, in addition to the guests, there are also some people who work for the lady who also need to rest."
"oh."
Passing through the living room, there are several neatly arranged houses.
"This courtyard is a place for the deacons and red guards to live. It separates the lady's courtyard from the front yard. There are gardens on both sides for viewing. You can go there when you are bored."
Yue Qing nodded and continued to follow Yue Chi through this area.
I saw colorful colors ahead, with butterflies and orioles flying. The long verandah is full of green vines twining on both sides, and flowers of various sizes and colors are blooming everywhere.
"Wow." Yueqing sighed.
"How about it, I like this style."
"Well, it's really beautiful."
"I heard that the young lady took Mrs. Fu to enjoy flowers and eat in the flower gallery in the palace. She had a good appetite, so I decorated it accordingly, thinking that the young lady might like it."
"I like it. It's so dreamy. It's even prettier than the Crane Garden in Li Palace. That's where I got all these flowers."
Yue Chi said with a smile: "It's just a comfortable place to stay. It's just some flowers and plants. It doesn't take a lot of effort."
Yue Qing sat on a soft chair on the side and took a flower vine that was blooming in the air. "It takes a lot of effort to take care of it."
"Don't worry, Miss, there will be gardeners repairing it every day."
Yue Qing smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
"I think they should be honored to be able to work in the young lady's courtyard."
Yue Qing turned her head and looked at the small buildings arranged around the courtyard. The small building in front of her probably belonged to her, with very girlish pink or emerald green gauze hanging on it. Yue Qing smiled helplessly.
Yue Chi followed her gaze and said, "That attic is the residence of the small courtyard. It is much worse than Qingyue Pavilion."
"What a girl's heart."
Yue Chi asked: "Miss, don't you like these colors?"
"No, it's suitable for little girls."
Yue Chi was stunned for a few seconds, and seemed to understand what she meant: "There are several nearby places where Mrs. Fu or Xiao Lingwei can live."
Yue Qing looked at the lady not far away who was being supported by Xiao Ye to enjoy the garden, and nodded. "That's good. Mom probably doesn't like to be disturbed. Let's arrange a quieter place."
"Yes, then let's take the east wing. It's quieter and further away." Chang Shen replied.
Yue Qing nodded.
"Chang Shen will make arrangements now."
Yue Chi said: "Behind there are some kitchens, warehouses and some vegetable gardens. There is also a stage. I wonder if young lady likes to listen to plays?"
"A play? You probably don't like it. Go check it out when time comes and change it to something else."
Yue Chi nodded. "There is a hill behind this yard with a pleasant scenery. I heard that the lady wants to run every day to relax, so it would be suitable there."
"Hill? How big a hill?"
"It's not big, a hill of nearly 400 acres. Many pavilions have been built on the hill. The walkway close to the courtyard has been built, and the deeper area is under construction. The hill is now also the property of this yard, and outsiders are not allowed to enter. Miss, you don’t have to worry about being disturbed. Although there are no wild animals in the mountains, just for the sake of Miss’s safety, it’s better to bring more people with you when you go to the mountains.”
Yue Qing nodded. "I see."
Yue Chi glanced at Mrs. Fu. "Miss, do you have any other requests?"
"No, this yard is very nice."
"That's good. Miss must be tired. We have changed to a new environment today. It would be better to rest early and get used to it."
Yue Qing nodded.
Yue Chi saluted and said, "Yue Chi will come visit again tomorrow."
"Okay." Yue Qing stood up. "Where does Mr. Yue live?"
Yue Chi smiled and said: "Yue Chi is also resting in this courtyard today, living with the young lady's deacons. If you need anything, you can summon me at any time."
"oh."
Yue Chi led everyone out of the courtyard. Mo Xue and Qi Jiao did not leave, standing there watching them leave.
Yue Qing looked at him: "Deacon Xue, why don't you stay in the front?"
Mo Xue turned around and said, "We also live in the outer courtyard with the deacons. The young lady has just come to the courtyard. I am afraid that the young lady will not be familiar with her. I will stay with the young lady for a while."
Yue Qing smiled. "Cai'er and the others are here."
Mo Xue nodded: "Xiao Lingwei will live with the lady."
"Oh. I don't know how he is."
"Don't worry, miss. You'll be back later when it gets dark."
"Yes." Yue Qing turned to look at Madam, "I'm going to see my mother."
Qing'er said, "Miss, Sister Cai'er and Deacon Mo are with you. Let's go and clean up the room."
"Okay. You go."
Yue Qing walked towards Madam. Mo Xue and Cai'er walked behind her, while Qi Jiao stood there with his arms folded and did not pass by.
