Different from Liyuan, the style here is very simple, without so much high technology, giving people a feeling of being close to nature.
The shade of green trees is secondary. A view within a few steps is the real beauty.
There are two rockeries in a row, and they are both hollow. There are pedestrian passages inside, and you can follow the steps directly to the red wooden pavilion on the top of the hill.
That is the highest point of the Plum Garden.
Looking down, you can have a panoramic view of the green small pond with water lilies, the winding colorful gravel road, and the bougainvillea in the garden.
Tang Xiaowan stepped in and felt very friendly.
This lady is finally back!
Those who want to harm me or poison me, just go ahead, I'm not afraid of you!
After cheering up, I didn't forget to sneer a few times.
Li Zishen frowned slightly, a little worried.
"Xiaowan, what did you just say?"
Hearing the questioning, Tang Xiaowan noticed that the entourage had left at some point, leaving only Li Zishen behind.
She guessed that Uncle Cai was probably looking for the kitchen.
As for Fang Yun and the six bodyguards, they were probably going to perform some task assigned by Li Zishen, which was probably related to defending against bad guys.
"Xiaowan, what are you thinking about?"
"Oh, it's nothing, I'm just talking to myself."
I was clearly distracted just now but I didn’t want to admit it!
Li Zishen did not continue to ask further, and said with a smile: "The luggage has been sent to the second floor. It is estimated that lunch will have to wait for two hours. Are you tired? Do you need to go back to the bedroom to rest first?"
"I want to go to the study."
Well, another evasive answer!
Why didn't you tell me if you had something on your mind, or did you say that you never believed me and still doubted me?
The study is where things go wrong.
As expected, you still care about that the most.
"Okay, let's go and go for a walk with you."
Li Zishen's mood fluctuated a bit and his voice was very deep, but Tang Xiaowan didn't notice this.
She raised her head and looked not far away: "I remember that my bedroom seems to be at the east end of the second floor, and the study seems to be at the west end of the third floor, right?"
"um, yes."
Tang Xiaowan pursed her lips and smiled, took a deep breath, and then scampered towards the villa like a rabbit.
It feels so good to be home!
Although the main building of the villa has four floors, the area is much smaller than that of Liyuan, and most places are decorated with pure solid wood.
Starting from the lobby on the first floor, including the stairs and corridors, everything is paved with wooden floors.
The dark red color is very warm.
Li Zishen followed Tang Xiaowan and saw her taking off her shoes, but did not step forward to stop her.
The white and tender feet are fleshy and very cute.
In fact, during his stay in Liyuan, Li Zishen had long discovered Tang Xiaowan's habit of not wearing shoes, but he never understood why he had to run around barefoot in the bedroom without slippers.
Now I understand.
She has been very naughty and mischievous since she was a child!
The word lady has nothing to do with her.
The Tang family's grandma must love her very much, just like her own granddaughter. She seems to be strict, but in fact she is doting.
The wooden floor creaked.
Everything along the way is clean and without any debris.
Before I knew it, the study on the third floor arrived.
Tang Xiaowan suddenly slowed down and approached quietly. After listening to the door, she opened it.
"Wow, study, we meet again!"
"Look, look, look, look, I also have many books, more than you have."
“Great, I’m back here again!”
Looking at Tang Xiaowan who was bursting with pride, Li Zishen felt a little relieved in his heart.
All these days of preparation were not in vain!
In order to prevent Tang Xiaowan from getting sad and remembering all the dangers on the day of the night attack, the place has been restored to its original state as much as possible.
Two broken hollow glass bottles were bought of the same style and color, and the messy books were picked up one by one, sorted and returned to their places.
Even for the six dried lotus pods, Li Zi asked Bai Long to find one with a similar shape, bought them all, and inserted them into the large cylindrical ceramic vase.
"Did you ask someone to sort this out?"
Tang Xiaowan sat slowly on the rattan armchair, her bright almond eyes flickering.
"Well, just tidied up a bit."
"These two wicker chairs are good. Are they new?"
Li Zishen: "..."
It was actually noticed, but luckily I had someone make it look old.
That's right, the little guy loves root carving.
How could this little trick be hidden from her!
"You have good eyesight, you can become an appraiser."
Tang Xiaowan smiled proudly, stood up and went to the desk: "I must have loved reading books before. Look here, there are books everywhere. There are so many, I guess there are hundreds of them, right?"
"You said that you hate reading. Spending money on it is better than buying pig's trotters and chewing on them will be more enjoyable."
One sentence reveals the essence of a girl.
She really loves to eat. If she doesn't eat enough meals three times a day, she will feel like she owes herself.
Although it has been less than a month since she went to Liyuan, Uncle Cai's cooking skills have been honed by her. In the past, she only cooked northern dishes, but now she is proficient in both northern and southern dishes.
Tang Xiaowan touched her nose: "You are wrong. I actually love reading, but you don't know."
Listening to these words, even she felt so fake!
But girls always have to save face, not to mention that this is still their home, not Liyuan.
Li Zishen took out a book from the bookshelf and replied with a half-smile: "Well, it's possible. Every time we meet, we are in time for dinner. I really don't have the chance to listen to you read. I will learn more about it in the future." of."
Tang Xiaowan: "..."
Why does it sound weird?
What's the rush for lunch? As if I’m a foodie?
Just kidding, am I that kind of person?
"Xiaowan, this book seems pretty good. Can you lend it to me?"
Tang Xiaowan glanced at Li Zishen: "Take it, I gave it to you."
"No, you can finish reading it in two days."
"Oh fine."
Tang Xiaowan answered lightly, but she had other ideas in her heart.
Pretend, just pretend!
For such a thick book, two days is enough?
As expected, men are all big pigs. They really know how to put gold on their faces, just to show off that they love reading!
"Oh, by the way, I forgot to ask you something."
"What?"
"Why didn't you see Bailong? Why did he go?"
Li Zishen quickly closed the book and walked slowly towards Tang Xiaowan: "He has something to deal with. He will come over when he is done."
"Oh, okay, got it."
"Xiao Wan, are you scared, worried that you won't be protected?"
Tang Xiaowan felt a little uncomfortable after being seen through at a glance.
She stood up suddenly, and then replied arrogantly: "Nonsense, I'm not afraid. What do I have to be afraid of? The worst I can do is do it again. Then..."
"Don't talk nonsense, it's impossible."
Li Zishen's voice was deep and strong. Tang Xiaowan was frightened and shut up immediately.
