Because of the invitation of the Empress Dowager Sheng'an of the Daxing Kingdom, Yuan Qingling suddenly changed from a villain that everyone wanted to punish to a popular person.
When the order was issued to the Prince of Chu's Mansion, Yuan Qingling immediately packed up and set off with Man'er and Ah Si. Naturally, Grandma Yuan followed her and sent them off in two carriages, with Xu Yi and Tang Yang seeing each other off.
Meizhuang is located on a mountain northwest of the capital city. Now that winter has begun, the mountains are already covered with white frost and the weather is very cold.
After the carriage reaches halfway up the mountain, there is no road up the mountain, so you need to get off the carriage and walk.
Because this time I had to stay for at least half a month, I had to bring a lot of things with me. Grandma Yuan couldn't walk on the mountain road, so Xu Yi carried her on his back, and the burden of luggage fell on Man'er and Tangyang Asi.
, Yuan Qingling said that she wanted to help get it, but they were unwilling to do so, saying that she could just walk without breathing.
They also underestimated Yuan Qingling, she was no longer what she used to be.
Although her martial arts skills are not that great, she is pretty good at light kung fu. If her light kung fu is good, her foot skills are good. At least she can walk lightly and know how to use her breath. After walking for half an hour, she didn't look tired.
Even Tang Yang praised her greatly.
The scenery along the way up the mountain is very good. This place is called Meizhuang, and it lives up to its name. Along the way, we saw many plum blossom trees, all of which were covered with flower buds. Some of them were slightly blooming with a touch of tender pink. The fragrance of plum blossoms hit our face, which was so refreshing.
I suddenly felt relaxed and happy.
Yuan Qingling's heart was full of expectations. She had seen Dr. Lin, but she had never seen Princess Anfeng. She had heard about it many times, and she had been yearning for it, hoping to see him. Unexpectedly, her dream came true.
Because of her anticipation, she walked faster in excitement. Ah Si couldn't catch up with her, so she shouted from behind: "Sister Yuan, don't walk too fast, the road is slippery."
Yuan Qingling stopped to wait for them. From a high position, she could see the mountains stretching down. The noise of the capital was blocked out. She took a deep breath and found the air was fresh and sweet.
Xu Yi carried Grandma Yuan on his back and came up to Yuan Qingling first. Yuan Qingling asked: "Xu Yi, are you tired?"
Xu Yisheng said like a bell: "The old lady is light and not tired at all. I think my subordinate was walking as fast as he was carrying a pig on his back."
Everyone laughed, Tang Yang laughed and cursed: "Can you talk?"
Grandma Yuan lay on Xu Yi's back, feeling very sorry and said, "Young man, put me down so that I can walk a few steps and let you take a breather."
"It doesn't matter, I can reach the top of the mountain in one breath without feeling tired at all. Madam, don't worry, I'm safe on my back."
Xu Yi said very proudly.
Ah Si said: "You are not tired, but the old lady is. Put it down. Let's rest here and let the old lady stretch her muscles."
Xu Yi put Grandma Yuan down, and Ah Si helped her stand firmly from behind before letting her go.
Grandma Yuan looked at the two of them with a smile, "Listening to your laughter and laughter along the way, I feel that I am dozens of years younger. It's great to be young."
Ah Si stuck out his tongue and showed a playful smile, "The old lady looks very young. Please move around first and I'll get you some water."
After saying that, he jumped over to Man'er's luggage to get a cowhide kettle.
Grandma Yuan turned around and looked at Xu Yiyi: "Your little girlfriend has such a good personality, lively and kind."
"Little girlfriend?"
Xu Yi touched his head and sneered, "Ah Si and I are good friends."
"Then when will you get married?"
Grandma Yuan asked.
Xu Dun was stunned for a moment, then grinned, "Are we getting married?
Ah Si and I will never get married, and I despise her."
Grandma Yuan patted his shoulder, "She is very nice, a girl who looks like jewels."
"Jewelry?
Just like a pig."
Xu Yi chuckled, glanced at Ah Si, and immediately felt disgusted. There was no trace of womanliness in his body, he was very rude, and he looked down on her.
Yuan Qingling helped her grandma walk around for a few steps, letting her stretch her muscles and bones, and said: "Xu Yi and Ah Si are not a couple, so please stop being a matchmaker."
"Isn't it?
Look at the two of them, they are quite right."
Grandma Yuan waved her hands and slowly turned her head and neck.
Yuan Qing Ling smiled. Although Xu Yi's family background is not bad, it is still far behind compared with Ah Si. Ah Si will not care about these things, and the Yuan family will not care about these things, but Xu Yi looks carefree and cares about these things.
, he is still very sensitive.
When he said he disliked Ah Si, in fact, to put it bluntly, he knew that it was impossible to be with Ah Si. In his opinion, he and Ah Si were not compatible, so he simply said he disliked Ah Si first to save himself from having such thoughts.
After resting for a while, we continued our journey.
The entire walking distance took more than half an hour before we arrived at the entrance of Meizhuang.
Meizhuang occupies a large area. There are many peach and plum trees planted in front of the manor. The guard at the door is Snow Wolf. Yuan Qingling is very familiar with Snow Wolf and can tell at a glance.
The two snow wolves were all gray and white, and they could tell they were a bit old. Their eyes were brown, and they were very sharp, but they seemed to understand human nature. Yuan Qingling didn't say anything, and they opened the door first.
The two doors were very thick, and they made a squeaking sound when they were opened. You could hear the heavy weight of the wooden doors, but the snow wolf just opened them with his head, which was so strong.
Xu Yi doesn't like the snow wolf now. He was responsible for feeding and serving the dim sum's snow wolf at first, but later he became ungrateful and disobeyed his instructions, which broke his heart.
After the door opened, a woman wearing crimson clothes came to greet the guests.
The woman was about 23 or 24 years old, with her hair in an upturned bun, delicate features, and a gentle smile on her face. After she came out, she greeted Yuan Qing, "Hello, Crown Princess, hello, Madam. Everyone, please come in. Princess and
Doctor Lin has been waiting inside for a long time!"
Yuan Qing Ling said: "Please lead the way."
The woman turned around and led everyone in. According to architectural conventions, she thought that there would be a courtyard after entering. However, as soon as she entered, she found an artificial lake. The lake was steaming. Looking along the north side, she saw two dug holes.
A small stream diverts the water, and now the water flowing into it is a hot spring water. After entering, it feels warm as spring.
Yuan Qingling looked at these lakes and always felt that they were like swimming pools. They were square and square with an upper and lower iron frame on the four sides. White marble bricks were attached to both sides of the pool, and mats were placed next to the iron frame to prevent slipping.
Going around the edge of the artificial lake, there is a stone staircase. There are five stone steps. After going up the stone steps, you enter an arch. After passing the arch, you have to go up the stone steps again. The stone steps are connected to an arch bridge. There is digging under the arch bridge.
It's empty, and there are fish swimming underneath.
This building is really similar to the villa style that Yuan Qingling is familiar with. The mountains here are high, so building this courtyard may not be simple.
There are still plum blossom trees and peach trees planted in the yard here. They are everywhere as far as the eye can see. Yuan Qingling was dumbfounded. How beautiful this place would be when the plum blossoms or peach blossoms are in full bloom.
