July 15th is the Ghost Festival.
At Li Mengxue's home, the routine birthday celebration ceremony is underway.
Yun Guyuan took the birthday card that belonged to him. On his chest was a big red flower that didn't match his image at all, and in his hand he was holding an enamel basin with blue flowers.
When Yi Qingqing was the one being congratulated, she felt extremely embarrassed and wished she could find a hole in the ground to crawl into, but when it was her turn to congratulate others, she became particularly active.
Especially when it comes to celebrating such a middle school-like birthday for Yun Guyuan, who usually has a serious face.
"Comrade Yun Guyuan, you haven't expressed your gratitude to the organization yet!" Yi Qingqing reminded.
"Thank you organization," Yun Guyuan said helplessly.
"Hahaha!"
In the small courtyard, a series of laughter came out from the wall, attracting the attention of passers-by in the alley outside the courtyard.
"The new neighbors in this yard are so lively!"
After celebrating Yun Guyuan's birthday together, Yi Qingqing left with Yun Guyuan amid the teasing gazes of her friends.
They both have other important things to do today!
"Ayuan, my welfare house is at No. 45 Luoguxiang, not far from here. Where is your house? Let's see which one is closer and go to that one first."
After leaving Li Mengxue, Yi Qingqing took Yun Guyuan and asked him as they walked.
Upon hearing her house address, Yun Guyuan couldn't help but stop to confirm: "No. 45 Luoguxiang?"
"Yes," Yi Qingqing even took out her house ownership certificate and showed it to him: "Look, No. 45 Luoguxiang!"
Although she had not been there yet, she had long ago looked at the map of the capital and had a rough idea of ββher house.
The system was generous and the reward was a courtyard house with three entrances, which was even more magnificent than the one in her personal space.
Over in Luoguxiang, there are several sets of three-courtyard houses of the same style.
"Mine is number 44, right next to yours," said Yun Guyuan.
He really didn't expect that the welfare house allocated to him by the underworld was right next to Qingqing's house, but it couldn't be better than this!
Maybe it was because I happened to apply at this time and had to confess my identity to my lover, so he was assigned to this position.
Yi Qingqing opened her eyes wide in surprise when she heard this, "Number 44? What a coincidence?"
She always felt a little unreal.
When she first looked at her house on the map, she was proud of her house number, which was much better than No. 44 next to it. Little did she know that No. 44 belonged to Ayuan!
The two families even share a wall on the east side!
"Maybe it's not a coincidence," Yun Guyuan touched his nose, always feeling that he was being given special attention by his superiors.
Yi Qingqing was confused, "What do you mean it's not a coincidence?"
Her house was a college entrance examination reward given by the sign-in system, and she still happened to find it. Could it be that Ayuan also has a sign-in system?
"This is not the place to talk. Let's find a house first. The application I applied for has been approved. We'll talk about it in detail after we get home."
Yun Guyuan was still a little nervous, worried that he would scare her.
If he hadn't discovered that she worshipped a large number of ghosts and gods every year during the Ghost Festival and that there were some strange things about her body, he might not have dared to reveal the secret in his heart.
He knew when he was a child that even his closest relatives and loved ones would not accept all the differences in you.
Sometimes confessing secrets will only push the people around you further away and make you feel more lonely.
This time he only planned to tell part of it. If Qingqing was scared, he would forget about the rest.
Yi Qingqing's mind is now full of questions about whether A Yuan also has a system.
My thoughts diverged to the point of speculating whether Ayuan was also a time traveler, or a reborn person, who won the prize because of his great merits in his previous life.
The more I think about it, the more possible it seems. He is so smart, he could have done anything in his previous life, researched something good for the country and the people, and earned a lot of merit. It is not surprising that he can win the lottery.
This also explains how he managed to survive on his own when no one took care of him as a child.
The more he thought about it, the more distressed he felt. He patted the back of Yun Guyuan's hand soothingly and said, "Good deeds will be rewarded with good. Everything is over."
Yun Guyuan: β???β
No. 44, No. 45, Luoguxiang.
Yi Qingqing took Yun Guyuan outside to look at the two houses first.
It looks like they were built in the same batch and are well preserved. Even the material and style of the gate are the same.
There was a large brass lock on the door.
Yun Guyuan went forward first, unlocked the door of No. 44, and walked in with Yi Qingqing.
The main entrance is located in the southeast corner. On the right hand side after entering the entrance is the southeast corner courtyard. There is only one room next to it, which was the former carriage room.
On the left is the front yard, and near the gate are several back houses, where the male servants used to live.
There is another room in the southwest corner of the front yard, which was the former South Study.
After entering the second gate with hanging flowers, you will reach the second courtyard.
There are west wing and east wing on the left and right, each with an annex room. There is also a corridor between the main room and the west wing.
There are three rooms in the main house, with an annex on the east and west sides. Next to the east annex is a hall, and from here you can reach the backyard, which is the third courtyard.
The third courtyard is a row of back rooms.
Since Yi Qingqing knew that she had a courtyard house, she borrowed some books on architecture from the library and learned about the structure and origin of the courtyard house. Now she can explain it to Yun Guyuan in detail.
"Ayuan, the structures of our assigned houses are similar, both have three courtyards. When the time comes, we can open a small door in the northwest corner of your courtyard and in the northeast corner of mine, and then we can visit each other!"
As he spoke, he pulled Yun Guyuan to the northwest corner of the courtyard, wanting to point out the location of the door, and suddenly found that there was already a doorway on the courtyard wall there.
Section 185
The other walls were all fine, except this one, which looked like a door had been dug out and then hastily blocked up, not very carefully, using an adobe material that didn't fit in.
Yi Qingqing reached out and pressed it. Why would someone use adobe bricks to fill the door?
"boom!"
Yi Qingqing quickly retracted her hand, and Yun Guyuan pulled her away.
"Ayuan, I really didn't use much effort. Who laid these bricks? They are so fragile. I must have been lazy and didn't step on them in the right place!" Yi Qingqing explained.
"I know, the quality of this brick is too poor," Yun Guyuan said, trying not to laugh, "That's good, we don't have to open the door, we have ready-made ones!"
"That's right," Yi Qingqing said with a silly smile, "The previous owner opened the door well, it's a bargain for us!"
Now she didn't even need to go out. She just pulled Yun Guyuan out of the corner door and arrived at the backyard of her house.
"Look, aren't the layouts of our two homes exactly the same?" Yi Qingqing took him to walk around her yard as well. "There's nothing in the house except for the empty ****. Everything else is fine!"
