Chapter 841 "The Key to Charming the King"

Author: Chu Qianmo

This time Pei Ji did not accompany him. Although his legs could walk freely, it was not very convenient. Eunuch Liu even asked Pei Shili not to accompany him. He could just walk around casually. But how could Pei Shili really let him do as he pleased?

Take a walk?

Not to mention the identity of Eunuch Liu, even the traps set up by Ayu in some courtyards must be closed in advance. If Eunuch Liu is accidentally touched, that will be a big deal!

So the two of them walked around and had a look, with Pei Shili acting as a temporary interpreter and guide.

Eunuch Liu said as he walked: "I heard that these houses were seriously damaged back then, and the princess ordered them to be rebuilt."

"Yes, Ayu saw that all of them were completely destroyed. Most of them were demolished and rebuilt. They said they were rebuilt, just to give face to the ruins of the Hou Mansion back then!" Pei Shili said with a smile.

Eunuch Liu also laughed, and he said with emotion: "The princess is really beautiful. Look at the layout of these courtyards. Some are spacious and grand, some are refined and elegant, some are simple and solemn, some are fresh and elegant. They are actually different.

Style, we have to appreciate this."

As he spoke, he really lingered in the yard, moving from room to room, sometimes even touching it, looking very curious and admiring it.

Pei Shili was accompanying him. As the lord of a city, he managed the city very well and was naturally proficient in all kinds of speaking skills. At this time, he was accompanying Eunuch Liu, and they seemed to be having a great time talking to each other.

Eunuch Liu was extremely patient and interested in every courtyard. Pei Shili did not feel tired, but sighed: "The damage was too serious back then, and Ayu has never seen what the former Hou Mansion looked like, so he can only

Redesigned according to local conditions. Too much money was spent on repairing and rebuilding these houses. Ayu even subsidized the dowry left by my sister. As an uncle, I can't compensate him for anything. When she gets married in the future, I will definitely provide for her.

Make up for a generous dowry!"

Eunuch Liu laughed and said, "Princess Sangyu is a blessed person!"

After walking through these courtyards one by one, Pei Shili said again seemingly unintentionally: "To say that the only ones that have maintained their original appearance are Songfeng Yuan where my wife and I lived, and Danyi where my sister used to live where Ayu occasionally came to stay.

The garden and my father’s own Zhelin Garden have all changed drastically! As a son, I am very unfilial. My father’s love for his children makes me feel ashamed!”

Eunuch Liu's eyes moved and he said with a smile: "Parents have far-reaching plans for their children. In that situation, he was able to protect the place where you two brothers and sisters live. It took a lot of effort!"

While they were talking, the two of them had already arrived at the gate of Shofengyuan.

Luo Yishuang came out to salute.

This Eunuch Liu is a eunuch, and he is accompanied by eunuchs, so there is no such thing as not seeing outside men and guarding against men and women.

Pei Shili's eyes were gentle and he said: "Father-in-law wants to visit our yard."

Eunuch Liu immediately smiled and said, "Is it convenient?"

Luo Yishuang said: "Of course it is convenient! Father-in-law, please!"

Eunuch Liu did not enter the inner room, but stayed in the yard and other houses for a while, and touched a few places inadvertently.

Pei Shili was shocked. The places he touched were exactly where Ayu asked him to touch a few days ago.

He probably now knows what Eunuch Liu is here for.

So this Eunuch Liu is also an expert.

Coming out of Songfengyuan, Eunuch Liu had a hint of disappointment in his eyes.

At this time, Mu Qingyu happened to have arrived.

Eunuch Liu walked a few steps quickly and said with a smile: "Oh, Princess, you are finally here. We are still thinking that if the Princess is busy, we will go directly to the Princess's house."

Mu Qingyu smiled politely and said: "What did Eunuch Liu say? Even if he is busy, is it important that Eunuch Liu has anything to do with him?"

Eunuch Liu said: "Princess, the emperor has a reward for you alone!"

Mu Qingyu was about to pick her up, but Eunuch Liu smiled and said: "Princess, our family has visited all the courtyards of the Hou Mansion today, but we have only missed the courtyard where you live. Is it possible for our family to visit it conveniently?"

Mu Qingyu exchanged glances with Pei Shili without leaving any trace, and Pei Shili nodded almost invisible.

Mu Qingyu smiled and said: "Of course you can, I don't live in that courtyard all the time. If my father-in-law is interested, go and have a look!"

When he arrived at Danyi Garden, Eunuch Liu carefully observed every corner of the garden and found that each place had its own unique design and characteristics, thus forming a perfect whole. He especially liked the water features in the garden and felt that they were very natural and beautiful.

, making people feel very relaxed and happy.

This is probably the origin of the name Danyi Garden.

Eunuch Liu also noticed that the buildings and gardens of Danyi Garden paid great attention to details, and every detail was carefully designed and arranged, making people feel very comfortable and warm. He praised: "This garden is nice, fresh and elegant.

The mountains and rivers are harmonious, the layout is novel, and the scenery is outstanding!”

Mu Qingyu said: "My father-in-law has given me the reward. This is the garden where my late mother once lived. It was not seriously damaged and only slightly repaired."

Eunuch Liu couldn't help but nodded and winked at the little eunuch behind him, who took out a long scroll. Eunuch Liu took it, handed it to Mu Qingyu, and said, "This is given to you by the emperor!"

Mu Qingyu thanked her for taking it and opened it. On the scroll, there was a portrait, which was actually that of Pei Yi. By the stream, the girl smiled brightly and was carefree. The picture was beautiful, the brushwork was delicate, and the characters were lifelike.

Eunuch Liu said diligently: "Come, let us help the princess hang it up!"

Mu Qingyu smiled and said: "Okay! Then I'll thank you!"

Eunuch Liu took the portrait with great interest, went to the wall over there to compare it, and finally selected a place to hang the portrait.

At this time, he pressed his hand somewhere, a rolling sound sounded, and a hidden grid appeared.

Eunuch Liu said in surprise: "Ah! This is our family's fault. We accidentally touched this place, but we really have no intention of exploring the secrets of the Hou Mansion!"

Both Mu Qingyu and Pei Shiwei had just the right amount of surprise on their faces. Mu Qingyu shook her head and said, "I didn't do this, and it probably wasn't my late mother. It looks like it has been around for a long time."

Is this what Eunuch Liu came for? You must know that this is not a hidden grid that will appear just by pressing it. You have to press at least three places and all three places will appear.

Pei Shili was a little anxious. The secret compartment was found, but there was nothing inside. He was afraid that it would arouse the suspicion of that person.

Mu Qingyu walked over and looked inside, and Eunuch Liu also leaned over to take a look.

Mu Qingyu said: "There is something inside!"

Pei Shili was surprised: "Is there something inside?"

Hasn’t Ayu already taken out the contents inside?

Eunuch Liu couldn't wait to reach in, and took out the things without caring whether they were dirty or not.

It was a booklet. As soon as it was taken out, dust suddenly started to appear everywhere. Pei Shizhen and Mu Qingyu both took two steps back to avoid the dust. Eunuch Liu skillfully turned sideways and blocked Pei Shizhu and Mu Qingyu from seeing the booklet.

any content on.

There are four seal characters on the cover of the booklet "The Essentials of Charming Your Majesty". When you turn it over, the pages of the book are yellowed, obviously it is quite old. On the first page, it is written in plum-flowered regular script: "A husband and a son will establish a world, either to make achievements or to enjoy themselves."

Glory and splendor may turn over the clouds and rain, or disappear into the background of everyone... I am one of my own, have insight into people's hearts, diligently practice my armor, and advance with both ends... Having learned this key, why worry about glory, wealth, and honor not being at your fingertips? With this book, I will be in great danger.

The king in the middle is honored to be the king. Turning his hands he turns into clouds, and turning his hands over turns him into rain. Whatever I think, the king will never disobey..."

Eunuch Liu slammed the book shut, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

Mu Qingyu was curious: "What is written in it?"

Eunuch Liu twitched the corner of his mouth and forced a smile: "It's just miscellaneous books. It's a few years old. It must have been left by the previous owner of this house or the previous owner!"

Pei Shili asked: "How many years has it been?"

Liu Gonggong said: "Judging from the yellowing of the book, it must be more than a hundred years old!"

Mu Qingyu said: "Father, can I take a look?"

The corners of Eunuch Liu's mouth twitched and he said: "Princess, it's better not to look at it, it's not a good thing!"

Pei Shili said: "Our ancestors were rewarded by Emperor Gaozu with this mansion, and the Pei family has always lived there. If it is the predecessor or the predecessor, wouldn't it be the former dynasty..."

Eunuch Liu said: "Hush, Master Hou, be careful what you say!"

Pei Shili said immediately: "In that case, I will not keep this thing. I would like to ask Eunuch Liu to present it to the emperor on his behalf and explain his past relationship to the emperor on his behalf!"

Liu Gonggong said: "That's fine, this message will be spread to our family."

At this moment, he didn’t want to visit the Marquis Mansion anymore, and said: “Master Marquis, Princess, then our family will return to the palace first!”

Pei Shili took a look, and Zuo Jin next to him immediately handed over a purse. Pei Shili thrust the purse into Eunuch Liu's hand.

Eunuch Liu declined: "Master Hou, you don't have to be like this!"

"Eunuch, it's time for you to run away!" Pei Shili stuffed his purse back, and Eunuch Liu took the opportunity to collect it, and then hurriedly left and returned to the palace to resume his duties.

Pei Shili raised his eyes and was about to speak when he saw the look in Mu Qingyu's hand. He silently swallowed back what he was about to say and changed the topic: "There is a hidden compartment in this yard, and there are only

It’s a booklet, but I don’t know what the mentality of the person who put it is.”

"Didn't Eunuch Liu say that it's a collection of idle books and miscellaneous books? I think the person who lived in this courtyard was a dandy, or a boudoir who had nothing to do but read a storybook!"

Pei Shizhen said: "How can a storybook be kept so secretly?"

Mu Qingyu smiled softly and said: "The value of everything is different in everyone's eyes. We looked down on that book and thought it was just a miscellaneous book. Maybe the owner of the garden at that time thought it was the best in the world.

Where’s the stuff?”

"I didn't expect that what Pei Kangle and Zhao Xitai said was true. The damage to the Hou Mansion was so serious back then, and my father and I both thought that even if it existed, it would have been destroyed long ago, or it would have been secretly revealed by other people who knew the inside story.

Take it away. And Zhao Xitai’s face is so disgusting, why should he search the Hou Mansion whenever he wants? He is so shameless!"

Mu Qingyu said with a smile: "Thanks to my grandpa's love for his son and daughter, these two courtyards have been preserved very well. If they were like those courtyards, they might have been taken over long ago."

"Ayu, didn't you see what was written inside?"
