While talking, he walked around a green rosette mountain screen wall and walked into the small garden.
I have to say that although the villa in the Hou Mansion is not big, it is indeed exquisite and lovely.
Nan'an County is rich in water resources, and the entire small garden also starts from the water.
Drainage planting trees, covered bridges and small platforms, and all the places where you can walk are all made of pine wood with mortise and tenon joints. Many common but pleasant flowers and plants are strewn in the water of the small garden. Even if it is only early spring, you can still see the abundance.
The grass is green and the trees are luxuriant. The water in the garden gurgls slowly, following the footsteps of the guests and flowing into the depths of the courtyard.
Yu Qiansi looked around, a little confused.
Except for the boy leading the way, no one followed them. How could the Marquis of Guang'an be so confident about himself, the hawk of the Duke of Qi?
Boyi seemed to understand the doubts in Yu Qiansi's eyes.
Knowingly smiled and said: "The Duke of Qi is really powerful, and the Marquis of Guang'an also wants to sell it to you."
Yu Qiansi understood the meaning behind Boyi's words and muttered: "If this were the first time I saw him today, I might not believe him."
That night I made a big fuss in the mourning hall. Yu Feng wanted to eat flesh and blood and tear me alive.
"That's wrong." Boyi smiled coldly: "The relationship between the saint and the young prince should be good."
Yu Qiansi squinted her eyes and tilted her head to look at Boyi, "I've never been too lazy to think about the affairs of the court."
If you want to trick me, just dream.
Boyi raised his hand to pick off a blade of grass beside the road, played with it casually in his hand, and said: "I just want to say that after all, the saint also has the blood of the Duke of Qi. Regardless of their status as monarchs and ministers, they are also cousins."
The Huating Pavilion is like a canopy, and the fine sunlight squeezes through the lush branches and leaves, reflecting the light mottled jade all over the body. Boyi can only smell the fragrance.
The grass in this garden is indeed particularly lush.
He paused and continued: "The saint has been on the throne for a long time, and there has been no more trouble. These people are putting on airs now. How can they care about the Cheng family? They are just looking for a good reason to decentralize power.
That's all. Nowadays, the saints rely heavily on the Duke of Qi. They just can't steal meat and are anxious. They treated you coldly that day because there were so many people in the hall and they had no choice but to do it. But today there is no one else, so naturally they want to treat you.
It’s a good show of kindness.”
Yu Qiansi strongly disagreed with this and retorted: "Yesterday the princess made the matter a big deal during the funeral ceremony. If he stops me from checking today, it will make people suspicious and make people think that they are the Marquis of Guang'an."
There is a problem. But if they really open the door for me to investigate the death of the old lady, their Guang'an Marquis Mansion will lose face even more. Now I have given him a step forward, using the housekeeper's case to let me investigate the housekeeper's matter openly.
Once the truth comes out, everything will be easier to say."
As for what Boyi said, she didn't bother to think about the relationship between court and court, which was one thing in front of others and another behind the scenes.
While they were talking, the two of them looked up and saw Yu Anning stopped in front of a small courtyard, waiting for them to go. Boyi shrugged, threw away the blades of grass in his hands, and refused to answer. Yu Qiansi also looked stern.
After turning around the last corridor, the group stopped outside the Fengting Garden where the old lady lived.
The boy didn't dare to wait in the inner courtyard for a long time. When he saw that the person had been delivered, he bowed and left.
Yu Anning stood at the entrance of Fengting Garden, with her back to the two of them, her eyes moist.
With her thin back, she looks like she has nothing to do with her domineering reputation at this moment, and she just makes people feel weak and pitiable.
"Princess, my condolences."
In the end, Yu Qiansi couldn't hold it back and spoke warmly to comfort him.
Yu Qiansi was born with a beautiful and lovable skin. In the past, people could not ignore her bright teeth and sharp mouth, let alone her intention to please people now.
Boyi heard Yu Qiansi's soft tone for the first time, and turned his head to look. But the woman's downcast eyes were indeed very confusing, and he couldn't help snoring: Sure enough, he is like an evil ghost, Rakshasa, ever-changing.
Good at seducing.
Yu Anning calmed down with a faint smile, and with warmth rising in her heart, she opened the door and led the two of them in.
After walking through the cloister and passing the Fengting Pavilion, Yu Qiansi and Boyi noticed something strange in the yard.
This wind pavilion stands in the middle of Fengting Garden, which actually implies the name of "wind pavilion". Just looking around, the spring breeze seems to have rested outside the courtyard. In the huge courtyard, there are only a few green flower poles cut off at the waist, but there are no
A flower or tree is complete.
I heard from Lin Shen that the old lady liked to take care of flowers and plants since she was a child. The unique scenery along the way was all the old lady's handiwork. Why is there such a scene in her own yard?
Yu Anning seemed to understand their thoughts and was a little stunned.
Explained: "This garden is originally more beautiful than the small garden you see outside. After my grandmother left, I ordered them to cut out all the spring flowers in the garden, and collect all the decorations that grandma loved in the courtyard.
Get up, and I was buried with my grandmother early yesterday morning."
It's no wonder. Yu Qiansi looked around and found something strange.
"Why are the colors and textures of these soils different? But what's the explanation?"
The flower stalks nearby are sparse and uneven, unable to cover the soil in the garden. At a glance, you can see the scattered soil bags of different colors.
Boyi laughed at Yu Qiansi's lack of knowledge and pointed out: "That small piece of black is peat soil, the fluffy looking soil is leaf mold soil, and the one with small stones is the most common garden soil, over there
That one is mountain mud."
Boyi counted all the family treasures and murmured in his heart: Does this mean that he can solve the case like a god? He now suspects that Yu Qiansi's reputation is exaggerated.
Yu Qiansi squinted her eyes to cover the dangerous light inside, and said calmly: "I didn't know that Weiran Academy also teaches gardening in addition to archery, horse riding, and archery?"
Boyi choked, knowing that he was a little too complacent, so he stopped talking and didn't reply.
Yu Qiansi snorted coldly and asked only one question.
"It's just a small garden. Does it need so many different soil materials to be piled together?"
She is not a person with little knowledge, but she has never encountered so many different soil materials in just one inch of the pavilion. Such maintenance can't be handled with extra effort.
Boyi's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, and he looked into the garden again. He lost his complacency and thought more.
"It's true. The soil quality is different, and the distance between flowers is not large. Applying water and compost is troublesome. Planting flowers like this is indeed a bit too cumbersome."
Yu Qiansi listened carefully and realized that they were indeed common flowers and plants in ordinary gardens, and she suddenly understood.
You can always feel the breeze in the wind pavilion. These flowers have different blooming periods, and they are all fragrant. I am afraid it is so that people in the pavilion can feel the pleasant fragrance all year round, which is indeed appropriate.
Boyi rubbed his nose, feeling a little annoyed: "No wonder, with so many flowers mixed together, no wonder the taste is so sweet."
From the moment you step into the pavilion, you can always smell a faint and subtle fragrance. You can't find the source of the fragrance, which makes people feel bored.
fragrance?
Yu Anning was a little confused.
"Master. Ah, what do you mean by this, Master Bo? The flowers in this garden have been gone for four or five days. Even the gauze curtains in the pavilion are gone. Where can the fragrance come from?"
Perhaps after waiting for a long time, a nanny came out from the main room to welcome her. She happened to hear the conversation they were gathering in the wind pavilion. She stopped and saw the back of Yu Anning, her footsteps messy and full of worry.
She took a few steps forward and said with concern: "Princess, you are back! The Marquis is not giving you any trouble, is he?"
Yu Anning turned around and saw Aunt Cuizhu, her slightly gloomy face suddenly brightened up, and she felt much more relaxed and at ease.
He quickly introduced: "This is Aunt Cuizhu, who serves my grandmother personally and is responsible for her food and daily life."
Yesterday, thanks to Aunt Cuizhu and his son Wutong, he was able to escape from the house and go to the capital to appeal.
But because of this, Cuizhu was frightened and worried, fearing that something had happened to the princess. Just then she heard someone from below came to report that not only was she back safely, but she also brought people to offer incense, so she felt relieved. But after waiting for a long time, she still
When no one came, I was worried that something had gone wrong, so I rushed to greet him.
"Mommy, don't worry. This is the famous Yu Siyin I mentioned before."
Cuizhu saluted quickly and Yu Qian nodded in greeting.
"Please, Princess, please take us for a walk in the courtyard and point out the events of that day one by one."
Cuizhu had been a little absent-minded from the beginning, and was a little frightened when he heard the words. He bowed deeply to Yu Qiansi and asked: "With what you said, do you really suspect that there is something wrong with the old lady?"
