Ying Ze and others had the banquet and then they all dispersed.

It was still early, and Xun Qingran sat in the warm pavilion and discussed with Malt, Madam Xu and others that they had just moved here and should have a visit to the host, but they didn't know who the hostess of Baopuyuan was.

"I have been cleaning up in this yard these two days. The Yuxusan man lives in a quiet place, and seems to have no wife. I have met a Mrs. Yan, who should be a junior of Yuxusan man, who is managing the affairs of the inner house." said Madam Xu.

"Just prepare a few rulers and bake two snacks to bring to you. Let's see when it will be convenient for Mrs. Yan. Let's go over and have a visit." Xun Qingran ordered.

Madam Xu agreed to go and prepare.

The gift was given, and the Mrs. Yan actually came to see Xun Qingran on his own initiative.

This Mrs. Yan looks like she is about thirties, has a petite figure and is dressed very neatly. She has a pink and white melon-shaped face and speaks softly and glutinously. She is a typical Jiangnan beauty.

"I should have come to see you early. I knew my grandma was pregnant, so I was afraid that my grandma would move over and have to take a break before I could see someone." Mrs. Yan said.

The two of them made some polite mistakes.

Xun Qingran then asked carefully what taboos the owners in this garden have.

"Grandma just treats this place as her home and do whatever she wants." Mrs. Yan hurriedly said, "But my father likes quietness and has a strange personality. If the etiquette is not good, please don't be surprised."

Xun Qingran naturally said it was okay.

"If you lack anything, just send someone to come, it is better than what you bought outside." Mrs. Yan said.

Xun Qingran just thought it was a polite word and naturally responded politely.

When Mrs. Yan was sent away, everyone was forced to discuss it.

"Although it is a businessman, the one who can be rewarded by the emperor is different. The rules and etiquette are the same as everyone else."

Although the master was not picky, Xun Qingran still told Madam Xu, Kikyo and others to restrain their maids and mothers and not to be evil guests.

In the evening, the couple went to bed to rest, and Xun Qingran asked Qi You about Yuxu Sanren.

"It's an old man, and he doesn't talk much. He's more like a Confucian scholar than a businessman." This is Qi You's evaluation of Yuxu Sanren. "I'm indifferent to me, but I'm very good at Junhui." Qi You remembered the situation when he met that day. "He had a little like an elder in his attitude towards Junhui, but he had no airs, but he had more respect."

"What kind of livelihood do they do if they want to maintain such a big house?"

"His family has children who are still doing business in Jiangnan, and they send their own money to the capital every year." Qi You said.

Xun Qingran was even more curious about Yuxu Sanren. On the third day after she moved here, she met this long-known strange man.

At that time, Xun Qingran was taking Fusheng and Xuan'er for a walk by the maple forest. She saw someone fishing by the lake from afar. She saw that the man was about fifty years old and was wearing a faint blue embellishment, which was exactly the appearance of Yuxusanren that Qi You said. She remembered what Mrs. Yan said, and hesitated to go forward and say hello, or bypass him to avoid disturbing Yuxusanren.

But Yuxu Sanren stood up and walked towards them.

Yuxu Sanren walked up to him and bowed to Xun Qingran.

"Please to your wife."

Xun Qingran hurriedly bowed and returned the salute.

"The old man is the master here? Have we disturbed you?"

"It's me who just came out for a walk without any trouble, so there is no way to disturb me." Yuxusan said.

"Are these two children of the wife?" Yuxu Sanren asked, looking at Fusheng and Xuan'er.

"This is my daughter, this is my adopted son." Xun Qingran said, and let Fusheng and Xuan'er meet Yuxu Sanren.

Yuxu Sanren looked at Fusheng and Xuan'er, then took out two jade pendants from his arms.

"This was worshipped in front of the Buddha. It was worn by Brother and Sister, and it could drive away evil spirits and avoid disasters."

However, there were two small peace pendants, the jade was warm and clear, but it was not expensive and unacceptable. Xun Qingran gave a little advice and took it away.

Yuxu Sanren had no intention of leaving, but instead accompanied Xun Qingran to walk slowly along the lakeside, and talked about seeing the door plaques and couplets brought by Xun Junhui.

"...Jun Hui learned his calligraphy from his wife." Yuxusan said.

He directly called his younger brother by his name, and his tone showed affection. He also talked about the events of the siblings when they were young. It seemed that his younger brother had a very good relationship with this Yuxu Sanren.

Xun Qingran thought about this and nodded with a smile.

"I was also a child at that time, and the brother and brother copied the same copybook. Junhui was young and sometimes he couldn't sit still. I just gave a little urge."

"Mrs. My name is very unique. I am bluntly speaking, although Ling Zun is very knowledgeable, he is a little inferior to his calligraphy when talking about it. His wife was young at that time and was willing to work on calligraphy so hard, and probably because she was influenced by other elders."

When she first put in the effort to practice calligraphy, her purpose was actually very simple, which was to hope that Xun Junhui would become famous in the imperial examination. In order to urge her younger brother, she also liked her, so she put in that effort, and later became a habit.

"The Xun family has been a romantic life for generations, and reading and practicing calligraphy has become a trend. If it is said that it is influenced, it should be the influence of this family style."

"Oh," Yuxu Sanren pondered, "I thought my wife was influenced by Lingtang. Jun Hui once said Lingtang was excellent poetry."

Xun Qingran's heart moved. The Lingtang that the Yuxu Sanren said was definitely not Fang. However, how could his younger brother tell him that his biological mother loves poetry and prose?

"The mother in the family was born in Dingyuan Marquis' Mansion and she was just ordinary in poetry and prose. My brother's biological mother and I passed away when we were very young. At that time, my brother was still in the infancy and I was older than my brother. Unfortunately, even I can't remember the biological mother now." Xun Qingran said as she looked at Yuxu Sanren.

A trace of gloom flashed in Yuxusanren's eyes. He did not continue this topic, but took Xun Qingran into the maple forest.

"This tree was planted by the sixth generation head of the Yan family..." Yuxusanren pointed to a big tree that was about to be hugged by the two of them.

This maple forest has a history of a hundred years, and Yuxu Sanren can clearly tell the origin of each tree.

Xun Qingran was a little scared, but fortunately, when she talked about her brother's biological mother, she sent the girls to a distance. Therefore, only she could hear Yuxu Sanren's words.

"The century-old clan disappeared overnight. Finally, there was no burning the piano and boiling cranes. There was still this garden left, and these maple trees... so that future generations could pay tribute." Yuxusan man stroked a maple tree, and his eyebrows were filled with sorrow.

Xun Qingran was lost for a moment, but she quickly calmed down.

"If the old man dresses like this, he must have studied Taoist classics carefully and understood the world. When dealing with Taoism, the highest level of Taoism is to be in harmony with the light and dust, and to be with the times. What do you think?" Xun Qingran asked with a smile.

"Madam is indeed knowledgeable." Yuxusanren looked at Xun Qingran, and seemed a little melancholy and relieved. "He is in harmony with the light and dust, and Shi Shujuan. What the wife said is right, and I also admire this method very much."

That's good, Xun Qingran said in her heart, and nodded with a smile.

Yuxu San is well-versed in ancient times and is familiar with the story of every grass, tree, mountain and stone in Baopu Garden. He actually took Xun Qingran to look at it one by one.

"I believe Jun Hui has already experienced these stories." Xun Qingran smiled again.

Yuxu Sanren also smiled, "He always refuses to ask him to move in. If he wasn't afraid that his wife would suffer outside, he would never come to me."

Since then, there has been no separation between the guest and the host. Sometimes I see each other from afar, but nodded and greeted each other, sometimes I would come over and say a few words, and sometimes I just watched Xun Qingran play with her two children from afar. Both sides were very natural and comfortable.

Xun Qingran gradually fell in love with Baopuyuan and this maple forest.

Fusheng and Xuan'er obviously liked it here too.

It is late autumn now, and thick fallen leaves are everywhere in the forest. The warm afternoon sun shines from the branches, reflecting the fiery red maple leaves, dyeing people's faces with a faint red glow.

Xun Qingran and Qi You walked slowly along the bluestone path in the forest. He has nothing to do recently and has less social activities. He has plenty of time to accompany Xun Qingran every day.

Fusheng and Xuan'er were wrapped in small round buns, smiling while chasing the little sika deer to play. The little sika deer has grown soft antlers. It has become familiar with the two children and dodged lightly. Sometimes it will stop and not struggle if it is caught by the two children.

"Fusheng and Xuan'er have been wild these days." Qi You said.

"It's good that way, look at Fusheng growing again. Xuan'er is stronger than ordinary girls." Xun Qingran smiled.

The girls in the big family are all spoiled, like Jue Jieer, who is older than Xuan'er, but they never leave their nanny's arms every day, rarely walk around by themselves, and it is even more impossible to play outside like this.

"Sister Luanyu said that Xuan'er is so good. When she grows up, her mind and vision will be broader." Xun Qingran said.

"I didn't say it's bad. Xuan'er is so good." Qi You said.

"If I were in the mansion there, I wouldn't be so comfortable." Xun Qingran said.

Qi You nodded and reached out to remove a maple leaf that fell on Xun Qingran's head.

"The Fourth Master has gone to the mansion today, the old lady is okay!"

"Grandma is in good health." Qi You said hesitantly, "Mrs. The previous one was ordered by the Empress to enter the palace again."

"The old lady didn't go to the palace to talk to the empress?" Xun Qingran frowned slightly.

"The old lady has also entered the palace, but the empress is weak and cannot listen to many words. As soon as the old lady spoke, the empress said that her stomach hurts..." Qi You also frowned.

The two walked a few steps in silence.

"Let them go." Xun Qingran suddenly stopped, "What the wife is afraid of is us. Now that we are out, the Fourth Master deliberately avoids friends in order to make them feel at ease, and refuses to go out for a friend. What else do they have to do?"

"You can't hide anything from you." Qi You looked at Xun Qingran and said, "Qingran, if you blame me if I do this."

Xun Qingran was originally arguing for Qi You, and he couldn't help but burst into laughter when he heard Qi You say this.

"The Fourth Master is with me every day, and I'm not too happy yet. I'm just afraid that the Fourth Master will feel bored."

"I'm not bored, I'm addicted to alcohol and sex, and I'm not enterprising!"

"No, this is keeping your strength and keeping your low profile." Xun Qingran said seriously. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian() to vote for recommendations, monthly votes, and your support is my greatest motivation.)
