Chapter 209

Before Wang Cai went abroad, he told Guan Shanyue to rent a house for her in the county, because it was not convenient to eat anything in the hotel. Having nothing to do, Guan Shanyue began to stroll around the county. The county is very small, driving half an hour to the main streets around. However, there is no intermediary in the county, and people who are familiar with renting houses have to know the information. After a long time, there is no harvest.

Stroll to the edge of the county, a "Jinshi mansion" big house attracted Guan Shanyue's interest. Guan Shanyue has heard that there was a Jinshi in the local area, but he didn't expect that his mansion is large-scale, which seems to be a Sanjin residence. However, compared with the newly-built houses around, "Jinshi mansion" is dilapidated. The main entrance is not only low, but also most of the eaves are exposed. Only the majestic dragon body stone carvings above the gate indicate the glory of the past.

Guan Shanyue stood in the street to watch, but when she saw that the door was locked and didn't know the situation inside, she was curious to go in and have a look. Wandering for a while, I suddenly think that Lu Caixia is a local person. Go back and ask her if she should know?

Due to the ambiguous relationship with Lu Caixia, Guan Shanyue has always felt guilty. In order to avoid suspicion, he has not entered Lu Caixia's office yet. So when he opened the door of Lu Caixia's office, Lu Caixia was surprised: "Yo, you are a rare guest!" As soon as she came in, she felt fragrant. Guan Shanyue couldn't help sniffing twice and said, "it's really fragrant!" Lu Caixia blushed and whispered, "dog nose!"

Guan Shanyue coughed and said, "just now I went to your hometown and passed by Jinshi mansion. I was curious to see it outside. I wonder if you are familiar with it?" Lu Caixia smiles and asks, "what do you want to know?" Guan Shanyue said: "I don't know what I want to know. When I get to the door, I want to go in and have a look. I'm familiar with what you mean

Lu Caixia glanced at Guan Shanyue with pride and said, "I'm afraid of you when I say it. In fact, there are two Jinshi in "Jinshi mansion". One is Lu Hongju in the reign of Guangxu. He is Wu Tanhua of a class of three Wujinshi. He has successively served as bodyguard, guerrilla, general, chief town and Jiafeng Tidu. The general granted his wife, Zhang Chunwei, three titles.

Lu Henian, his grandson, was a Jinshi in the reign of Guangxu. The horizontal plaque hanging on the door "model scholar" refers to him. In fact, his grandfather's reputation is higher, but Lu Hongju's life is simple and approachable. He went back to his hometown to visit his parents. He ordered people to take away the banquet and eat millet, potatoes and rice, so as to teach his descendants, "which was widely praised by the villagers."

Guan Shanyue exclaimed: "I didn't expect that such talents would come from this remote area?" Lu Caixia said, "make a fuss. According to statistics, the number one military scholar in Hebei in the Qing Dynasty accounted for one third of the whole country. " Guan Shanyue asked suspiciously, "I don't know why you are so precious." Lu Caixia chuckled and said, "I want to say that I am the descendant of Jinshi. Do you believe me?"

Guan Shanyue was very surprised and said: "I said how you are so beautiful and have temperament. It turns out that you are genetically good!" Lu Caixia complacently said, "my handwriting is still beautiful." Guan Shanyue sincerely boasted: "well, both talent and appearance!"

Lu Caixia was so elated that she said, "in fact, our ancestor's surname is Dong. Do you know Dong Quanzhong? " Seeing Guan Shanyue shaking her head, Lu Caixia said, "at the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, Wu Sangui marched westward and passed through the local area. Dong Quanzhong joined the army with Wu Sangui. Dong Quanzhong was handsome and brave in battle, which was highly valued by Wu Sangui. He betrothed his third daughter to him and recruited him as a county horse. Later, in order to avoid being implicated, the clansmen tried their best to cover up and changed their surname to Lu. "

Guan Shanyue sighed: "your family is amazing! You should write a biography. " Lu Caixia continued with a smile: "during the war of liberation, my two grandfathers joined the army and died in the battlefield. They are also the descendants of the martyrs. Otherwise, our house would have been assigned to other common people's families. Later, although my family declined, my family always paid attention to education, and my family were often proud of their ancestors, which also cultivated my character of "high or low"

Guan Shanyue asked again, "are you not living in the compound now?" Lu Caixia said: "it's been several years since I came out. Do you want to see it? " "It was quite impulsive at that time, but now it seems that there is not so strong desire," Guan said Lu Caixia's heart was pounding and she couldn't help saying in a soft voice, "let me tell you a secret. Our ancestors have always said that there are treasures." Although Guan Shanyue was curious, she had a strong immunity to the so-called treasure. She said with a smile, "you haven't married yet, so you turn your arms out?"

Lu Caixia blushed and said, "go! Take advantage of me. But I think of you as When that happens, you can't tell anyone. It's my secret Guan Shanyue asked: "what do you think of me as?" Lu Caixia raised her hand and hit Guan Shanyue lightly. She said shamefully, "villain!" When Guan Shanyue saw her pink face and vermilion lips, she was ashamed to speak; she was as beautiful as peach blossom in March and fragrant as orchid, so she couldn't help but be infatuated.

Seeing Guan Shanyue staring at herself with dementia, Lu Caixia was so proud that she made up her mind: "I won't take the initiative in the future, I'll itch you, and I have to make you submit to my pomegranate skirt." So she looked forward and said, "let's go. I'll take you to have a look." Guan Shanyue couldn't control her legs and followed Lu Caixia downstairs.

It's noon in the county. Of course, Lu Caixia doesn't dare to take Guan Shanyue home. They eat a cold powder on the street, but it's refreshing. Lu Caixia said: "please eat cold powder, it does not insult the identity of your chief?" Guan Shanyue said with a smile: "all the descendants of Jinshi eat. What can I not eat?" Lu Caixia giggles.At noon, the sun was shining high, and the courtyard was quiet. Only the cicada called tirelessly. Lu Caixia said as she looked, this is a courtyard facing south, with five main rooms, seven wing rooms on both sides and three gatehouses. Guan Shanyue: the brick and stone carvings on these buildings are exquisite and well preserved after a hundred years of vicissitudes, which contains a profound cultural heritage.

The East and west sides of the gatehouse each have a slightly smaller round door leading to the courtyard on both sides. Lu Caixia said: "a few years ago, I lived in a small courtyard in the East. Would you like to have a look? I only have my room key, and you can't see anything else. " Guan Shanyue didn't have any idea. She followed Lu Caixia into the courtyard.

The courtyard is another scene. The screen wall, the Chuihua gate, the carriage house, the shangmashi and the windlass well are well preserved. It is estimated that they are the places where the servants lived in the past. In the middle of the courtyard, a Wutong tree covered most of the sunlight and suddenly felt cool.

Open the room, the furnishings in the room are modern furniture, the furniture is covered with dust, no one has come all the year round. Lu Caixia asked: "disappointed?" Guan Shanyue said with a smile: "it's similar to what I imagined, but there is no ancient furniture. But we don't have any valuable tree species here. Even the ancient furniture shouldn't be too valuable. " Lu Caixia asked, "don't you want to come to my home to Taobao?" Guan Shanyue said: "it's better to have a baby? Your family will soon be brilliant again. " Lu Caixia said with a smile: "then you have to look for it carefully. My dream of a hundred million rich woman depends on you."

Guan Shanyue saw a circle, empty also have no good thing, asked: "your home really have treasure?" Lu Caixia said: "it's all handed down from mouth to mouth. No one has found it for so many years. I guess it's just a legend." Guan Shanyue said with a smile: "maybe I'll find out if I tear down the house."

Lu Caixia said: "I cherish myself. This is ancestral property. How can my father give up? But later, the family declined and the people were not prosperous. We lived in an empty house. In superstitious words, the house was too big to hide wind and gather Qi, so we moved out. "

Guan Shanyue knows that. For example, although the ancient emperors were rich in the world, they didn't have a big place to sleep. In the huge Forbidden City, the emperor's bedroom was only more than 10 square meters, and the "dragon bed" was as big as the ordinary people's bed. Moreover, when the emperor was sleeping, he had to put down two curtains in front of the bed to make the space smaller. This was to gather Qi and ensure the health of the dragon body. If you go to the prime minister's residence in the imperial city again, you can see that when you go into a small courtyard, it's like falling into a well. That small house makes you feel depressed, mostly.

For a long time, the room was a little overcast. Lu Caixia took a rag to the well of the windlass, rubbed the stone pier clean and said, "cool down here for a while." See Guan Shanyue sat down, Lu Caixia really want to sit on his lap, but he just made up his mind, no longer take the initiative, can't give up halfway? Seeing that there was nowhere to sit, he leaned against the support of the windlass. I didn't expect that the bracket had been rotten all the year round and collapsed with a creak. Lu Caixia was unprepared. With a cry of "ah", she fell into the well in a flash.

Guan Shanyue saw it clearly. She darted past with an arrow. She grabbed her clothes and lifted them up. Lu Caixia was so scared that she was pale and shivering with Guan Shanyue in her arms. Guan Shanyue secretly fluke, sitting on the stone pier patting her back, comfort way: "it's OK, it's OK, don't be afraid."

Startled, Lu Caixia gasped and said, "I'm scared to death! Thank you for saving me Guan Shanyue said, "you're here with me. I should say I'm sorry." Lu Caixia smelled Guan Shanyue's masculine breath, and her newly settled heart floated up again. She narrowed her eyes and asked with a smile, "since you are sorry, how can you thank me?"

Guan Shanyue looked at the beauty in her arms, "eyes with shame, red lips by smile", a time of mind are drunk. Lu Caixia felt that she was stabbed by a hard object under her buttocks. She blushed and forgot her determination. She closed her eyes, raised her face and put her mouth in front of Guan Shanyue, looking forward to his wet kiss. How can Guan Shanyue think? He lowered his head and caught her mouth, kissing her.
