Du Xiaoli looked at it. It was different from the elegance of the third aunt. The fourth aunt looked at it as charming, but without losing elegance, while the fifth aunt looked like she was born in the dust.

    "Young master, three young ladies." the fourth aunt and the fifth aunt also greeted Du Xiaoli on their own initiative.

    "There is a sister in your second mother''s room, Du Kexin, who is Ji Ji this year. There is also a brother, Du Kehui, who is a few months younger than you. They should go out today." Du Yunhan continued.

    "I heard that you have passed the rural examination and can take part in the national examination next year?" old lady Du looked at Du Xiuheng and asked.

    "Yes." Du Xiuheng answered lightly, not proud of it.

    "Ha ha, OK! OK! Don''t do anything this year. Review your knowledge at home. When your father takes care of Sifang College for you, you can go there to study." old lady Du finally smiled when she heard Du Xiuheng''s affirmative answer.

    "Mom, I''ll get back to Sifang college. Now I''ll take Xiaoli down to pack her luggage and let Xiuheng chat with you here." Du Yunhan said.

    "Go on, Xiao Li, look at what''s scarce in the yard. Just give it to your second mother." old lady Du waved to them. Although she said words of concern, her attention didn''t leave Du Xiuheng. It seems that the concern came with Du Xiuheng''s brother.

    "Yes, thank you, grandma. Xiaoli will step down first." Du Xiaoli got up and saluted old lady Du and Zhong Meiqing.

    "By the way, Xiaoli has raised two wolves since she was a child. I will keep her in the yard, but if you have nothing to do, don''t run into her yard. Be careful of being bitten by wolves." Du Yunhan said and left with Du Xiaoli.

    The people in the house were startled. Mrs. Du patted her chest and said, "why, how can there be wolves? God, there are wolves at home! No, no, what if you bite someone? These beasts bite people!"

    "Mom, I think I have to discuss this matter with the master. How can the wolf stay at home? This..." Zhong Meiqing was also a little afraid. They were all women with no strength to bind chickens. When they thought of the terrible beast like the wolf, they were in a yard with themselves, and their hearts jumped to their throat.

    "OK, we..."

    "Grandma, grandma, don''t get excited. Silver and gold won''t bite people casually." Du Xiuheng said quickly when he saw that they were getting worse and worse.

    "How could a wolf, such a fierce animal, not bite?" Zhong Meiqing said.

    "Er Niang, silver has been raised in my house for five or six years. When my sister picked it up, she was just born and didn''t have much wild. It didn''t bite people when we were in the village before. Otherwise, how could the people in the village let us raise it so big?" Du Xiuheng comforted.

    "Really?" Mrs. Du was still frightened, and she could see that she was still very afraid.

    "Really, how dare grandson joke about this? So..."

    Du Xiaoli could still hear the movement in the house after leaving the house. He thought of the panic inside and smiled.

    "Let''s go. I''ll take you to Cuizhu garden. It''s biased. You can stay there for a few days and let you move in after the front yard is renovated a few days." Du Yunhan said.

    "OK."

    Du Xiaoli followed Du Yunhan to Cuizhu garden. The hollowed out walls in the south are different. The courtyard walls in the North do not have so many styles. They are directly repaired with bricks and stones. They are tall and thick. There is an octagonal door in front of the yard, and there are two simple hollowed out windows on both sides of the door. Facing the door is a screen cut of stone, carved with green bamboos.

    After entering, there is a small yard. Two polygonal flower beds are designed on both sides of the yard, and the flowers inside are gorgeous. In the past, there are two green bamboos. At the end of the yard is a two-story building. There are seven or eight rooms below. There are only four upstairs. One room is very long. In addition to the corridor in front, there is a small balcony behind.

    Du Xiaoli stood on the balcony and saw that behind the wall was a small river. The river looked like a white Lianzi in the sun. On the other side of the river is a plain. There is a mountain in the distance. There are some white on the highest peak. It should be snow that has not melted.

    "Xiaoli, you''ll be wronged here for a few days and wait for the front..." Du Yunhan stood beside Du Xiaoli and said.

    "No, I like it here," said Du Xiaoli. She took a fancy to this place at first sight. Although it was much smaller than other courtyards of the prime minister''s residence, it had both northern and southern characteristics, especially the balcony and the plain behind it, which was deeply loved by her. After that, she can let the silver and gold run happily here without being bound in the narrow yard all the time.

    "But it''s too small here," said Du Yunhan.

    "Small and clean." Du Xiaoli said, "I don''t like many people together. By the way, who owns the land behind?"

    "It''s nobody''s. generally, our houses are built on this side of the river, and there has never been used. Because they are close to the official accommodation area, ordinary people can''t live or farm there, so they have been empty there," Du Yunhan said.

    "Can I let them play there?" asked Du Xiaoli. "Yes, just be careful not to bite them." Du Yunhan nodded, and then suddenly realized, "that''s why you want to live here!" "yes." Du Xiaoli said. There''s another reason for his heart, which won''t tell you. It''s also separated from the outside. It''s very convenient to go out. "Since you like it, it''s up to you." Du Yunhan agreed. "Thank you, Dad." Du Xiaoli said with a smile. "Dad, who designed this yard?" "it''s an official who used to live here. But the houses here have been repaired again." Du Yunhan said, "what''s the matter?" "nothing, just feel very special." Du Xiaoli said, "Dad, if I want to buy the land outside, can I?" "do you want to buy it?" Du Yunhan asked in surprise. "Yes, is that ok?" Du Xiaoli asked. "Since you want to buy it, I''ll go to the household department later." Du Yunhan said, "what are you going to do after you buy it?" "after you buy it, enclose all the land you buy, and then make a place for my silver and gold to play, and you can use it to grow something you like." Du Xiaoli said. "Well, I''ll go to the cashier to get the money and I''ll do it for you." Du Yunhan said. "Dad, I don''t want others to know that I bought it here. You go to the accounting room to pay money, and the family must know." Du Xiaoli stopped.
