There is still several miles to go from Taipingyukou to Ziyun Shanfang. However, Li Lijun and his party had cars and horses, and even though the road was not very smooth, it didn't take much time to reach the place.

They could also take advantage of the dim light of the setting sun before sunset to get a rough look at the appearance of Ziyun Mountain House. Especially the nine waterfalls hanging on the hillside and the huts on the cliff platform not far from each waterfall.

, and the climbing promenade connecting the cabins is breathtaking.

Even Ding Wulang said privately to his bodyguards: "This property newly bought by the Fourth Lady looks great! It's a good place to escape the heat in the summer, I'm afraid it's even better than the village in Zhongnan Mountain."

The guard also nodded and said: "I heard that the Zhuangzhuang was bought by the concubine for the concubine to practice Taoism during her lifetime. It is connected with a large field and forest farm, and the income is good every year. The fourth lady is the concubine's biological child, so her vision is natural.

Not bad." He had heard earlier that the entire mountain behind the Ziyun Mountain House was affiliated with this property, and it was even bigger than Zhuangzi on the other side of Zhongnan Mountain!

The four wives just wanted to find a reason to find out about their stepmother, but they didn't expect that they were really willing to spend money. Sure enough, Princess Chen's dowry was rich. No wonder the successor king was not satisfied with the family background of his stepmother, so he endured it and gave the middle-age gift

The power was handed over to her. His former concubine, Xiao Yang, even tried every means to kill his mistress, and at the same time, he also wanted to get her dowry. Who wouldn't be jealous of such a big piece of property?!

Although people have been talking about it, the fourth lady has given her mother's dowry to Princess Dou to take care of it, but even so, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. She bought such a large villa without blinking an eyelid.

How many people in the Sui Prince's palace could be so generous? I'm afraid even the succeeding kings wouldn't be able to do it, right?

These people were sent to the Saga Mountain villa to protect the Fourth Lady. Others said they were left idle and laughed at their lack of future. But they followed a rich and generous young master, and they lived a comfortable and affordable life.

.There is no shortage of place to practice their skills on weekdays. There are good horses and good weapons. They can reunite with their families and there is no shortage of money. If they are really determined to fight for their future, the fourth lady can ask Prince Zou's Mansion or Lin Guogong's Mansion to plan for them. In their hearts

Not panicked at all. What’s funny is that the people who stayed in the palace thought they had taken advantage of it!

The guards talked a lot in private, but the whole process did not delay serious business. They sent Li Lijun and his party into the mountain house, and they followed the steward of the mountain house to settle in the outer courtyard.

Although the yard here is a little narrower, the houses are spacious and regular, with good ventilation. The stables are also in good condition, with food, grass and water all arranged in advance. There are several experienced stable herders who are responsible for taking care of the horses, so there is no need to guard them themselves.

Worry. After entering the accommodation, two courtyards in a row are enough to accommodate everyone. The servant woman immediately served delicious meals with both meat and vegetables. There are two slaves in each courtyard to do the work. This life seems to be more complicated than before.

It was more comfortable to stay in Saga Mountain. The guards felt the coolness in the air and found that the servants and slaves had even prepared bath water for them. They immediately felt that this trip was worth it!

Li Lijun took the maids and maids into the inner courtyard. Aunt Lu had already cleaned the place and rearranged the rooms. They were basically decorated according to Li Lijun's house in Saga Mountain. There were no slight differences.

It was obvious. Li Lijun felt familiar as soon as she entered the door. She looked carefully at the furnishings and so on. Sure enough, even the storage of daily necessities was similar to that of Saga Mountain. There was no need to worry that Erhong and the others would not be able to find things when they were new here.

Everyone first washed up briefly and changed into clean clothes. The maids and maids went to take care of the general affairs, while Li Lijun and his confidants sat down in the house, and Grandma Lu led others to serve dinner.

While Li Lijun was dining, Grandma Lu summarized what she had done in Ziyun Shanfang in the past two months and reported it to her. She also told her what was left unfinished. After listening to this, Li Lijun was very impressed.

Aunt Lu was very satisfied with her work efficiency. For the rest, she did not bother the two masters. Aunt Lu also followed her instructions and left some space for her to do things secretly, such as setting up spirit gathering arrays and protective arrays.

And so on, she asked her brother who was the shopkeeper of Zhao Chenji to secretly collect some materials so that she could start work at any time, which saved a lot of things.

After dinner, Grandma Lu took away the dishes and served hot tea. At this time, everyone gathered around Li Lijun again and began to discuss their plans for the next stay in Ziyun Shanfang.

Grandma Lu considered it carefully and said: "The climate here is more pleasant than that in Saga Mountain, with lush flowers and trees and abundant water vapor. Autumn has just begun, and it is still quite hot during the day, but there is a chill in the morning and evening. It is cooler in the mountains than outside.

It's a bit cold. If I want to stay here for a long time, please let me know as soon as possible so that I can prepare some autumn and winter clothes for you."

Aunt Lu had been in Taiping Valley for a long time and was not that well-informed about Li Lijun. However, she received vague hints in Aunt Cui's letter, so she felt anxious.

Aunt Cui knew the inside story, so she didn't have as many worries as she did: "The young lady will probably stay here for at least a month. She has to wait until the cultivation market is over before we talk about going back. Besides, there are people living here.

It is indeed more comfortable than Saga Mountain. If the drought in Guanzhong continues, instead of returning to Saga Mountain early, the lady might as well stay here. It is best to stay until the end of the market in the winter season, and save the pain of traveling on the road. This

Bian is also closer to Chang'an. If the winter is really too cold, I will go back to Beijing to spend the winter at worst."

Li Lijun smiled: "That's not the case. Saga Mountain has been my base camp for a long time, and it is impossible to leave it alone for so long."

Shi Qing whispered a few words in Nanny Lu's ear, and the latter immediately understood. Asking about Madam Pei was just an excuse. The young lady didn't take her stepmother to heart at all. Taipingyu is relatively close to the Xiuzhen Market, so it's easy to go back and forth.

Convenience, that's the real point.

Grandma Lu felt relieved and said with a smile: "If the young lady wants to live in Ziyun Mountain House for a long time, that's fine. The winter here is not hard. Even though it is in the mountains, it is colder than outside. But

It is easy to get charcoal here. Just ask someone and someone will send several carts of charcoal to your door. They are all of the best quality and the price is more than half cheaper than in Beijing! Furthermore, this house was built by the previous owner.

I put a lot of thought into it when I was building it. The materials used are strong and the walls are half thicker than those of ordinary houses. It is warm in winter and cool in summer. Let’s build a few more kangs while the weather is still not cold, so we won’t have to worry about winter.”

Li Lijun smiled and said, "Let me take care of it, mama. I'm not afraid of hot or cold. Anyway, I can live comfortably with a few formations. The key is that the mamas and the people below must live well, so don't

If you get sick due to weather changes, you just have to report how much it will cost." Then she asked, "Have the houses on the mountain been packed up?"

Aunt Lu said: "According to the young lady's instructions, the entire yard has been cleaned and arranged properly, and people can live in it at any time." She hesitated, "It's just that they are all bamboo houses, which are only fallen down during the day. The mountain wind is strong at night.

It might be cold if you live on the top of the mountain."

What's the point of being colder? The key is to be secretive enough.

Li Lijun specially endured the bumpy carriage ride for three days and came to live in Taiping Valley, not to inspect her new property or to find out about her new stepmother. She came here for the spiritual veins of Bald Mountain more than 20 miles away.

If she didn't live in a quiet place and away from the crowd, how could she avoid the eyes and ears of outsiders and quietly go where she wanted to go?
