Chapter 2 Leaving the Garden
Dragging luggage, holding the room key and check-in instructions, are looking for the room they are about to move in according to the name of the room written on the key plate, thinking about it, everyone is a little looking forward and excited.
Ling Xi glanced at his key plate that said Jade Glass Pavilion, according to the signs, from the front hall to the Jade Glass Pavilion, you still need to go through the corridor, bypass the garden, and only get to it after passing through the Liuyun Pavilion, which is the easternmost part of the entire garden. Looking at it, I felt that it should be a bit of a road, so I sighed secretly and walked according to the signs.
"How's it going, it's good here, isn't it?"
As soon as he turned around, Xiao Mo's voice floated again. Ling Xi only gave a look, and didn't bother to answer.
No matter how you look at it, that Xiao Dashao is probably also in the same direction as himself.
"It's really kind and not rewarded, but I know that some people like traditional culture, love ancient towns and ancient buildings, so they deliberately chose this place, but oh, some people just bite Lu Dongbin and don't know good people's hearts. It's so hard to be a good boss......"
"Stop, you shouldn't be in business, Oscar owes you a little golden man. Ling Xi said angrily. She still knows the work partner next to her very well, so she doesn't have to worry about him getting angry. Besides, usually the two of them are also mutual hatred type in their daily life, and they can be regarded as loving and killing each other.
In fact, Ling Xi hadn't figured out why Xiao Mo had suddenly arranged for everyone to go on an outing, and why had they suddenly arranged it here? This question had never been answered, and looking at him, Xiao Dashao wouldn't tell her, and she naturally wouldn't ask if she was bored.
Although she likes traditional culture, ancient towns, and ancient buildings, she doesn't know why from getting off the bus to now, she feels that this place is beautiful, but it is mysterious and eccentric, of course, maybe she is too careful.
Sure enough, Xiao Mo lived in the room next to her: Tianxi Pavilion. Forehead...... It's not so much a room as a yard, as both of their rooms have separate courtyards of different styles on the outside. For this, Ling Xi still likes it very much.
I looked at my yard, antique, full of Zen, simple and elegant, the bamboo curtain at the middle pavilion and the yarn complement each other, and a rosewood piano table is placed in the center of the pavilion, and there is a guqin on it, just looking at it and feeling that this piano is not bad. There is no piano bench, only a futon cushion in the same color as the bamboo curtain yarn. There is an artificial rockery water pond on the right side of the pavilion, and there are some lotus flowers floating in the pool, which is also extremely beautiful. There is also a wooden rattan rocking chair next to it. On the left side of the pavilion near the room, there is a Zen-like tea room, also equipped with the same color of bamboo curtain yarn, tea table, futon mat, tea set, and incense cage. The lights in the courtyard are also simple and elegant, and they are shining with a soft and quiet light at the moment.
In fact, the moment she entered this courtyard, those previous doubts had long been forgotten by Ling Xi, just because of such an environment, such a courtyard has always been her liking, even if she doesn't do anything, it is a very beautiful thing to stay quietly here.
I opened the door with anticipation, and the creak of the door was also the natural sound of the ancient wooden door. The layout of the room echoes the layout of the courtyard, which is simple and elegant, without losing its charm. The most attractive thing is the desk and bookshelf opposite the bed, on which are placed bamboo slips, each of which is packed in a cloth bag of the same color as the gauze, and the name of the book is written on the cloth bag. The desk is also simple and quaint, the pen holder is also very exquisite, the inkstone, rice paper, paperweight, and ink are all contained in porcelain jars, and a miniature version of the screen is also placed for decoration. In the middle of the room is a small mahogany table and four small round stools of the same material. On the table was a pot of Gentleman's Orchid. To the left of the table is a moon cave door with a beaded curtain gauze of the same color, and when you enter the door, you can see a simple and graceful carved mahogany bed, with a uniform color of light gauze. There is also a carved dresser of the same material, behind the bead curtain next to the dresser is a bathroom, a washstand carved with mahogany of the same color, lockers, storage baskets, and even a fully automatic flush toilet is wrapped with mahogany of the same material, and if you don't open it, you think it's a wooden toilet. Opposite the dresser is a wardrobe carved in the same material.
This moment will really make people feel like they have traveled through a trance, but I can't resist this feeling.
After being stunned for a while, Ling Xi began to sort out his luggage, and when he opened the wardrobe, he found that there was a pavilion in the wardrobe that was full of all kinds of ancient costumes, even including pajamas, all of which were brand new. Several matching pairs of shoes were also found, including embroidered shoes and flower pot bottoms. This is indeed quite unexpected and pleasantly surprised. Hurry up and hang up the clothes you brought with you, in fact, there are not many things, I thought that the three-day and two-night trip does not need to bring many things in large bags and small bags, if I knew that there was no need to bring it here.
After quickly sorting out the clothes, I put the skin care products and cosmetics on the dresser in a regular manner, and found that there was a delicate carved mahogany box on the table, and when I opened it, I saw that it was full of ancient costume accessories. I have to say that the service is very meticulous.
After a simple tidying up, I took my mobile phone and looked at the time at 11:50, and it was almost time to go to the front hall to gather and prepare for dinner.
When passing by Xiao Dashao's Tianxi Pavilion, Ling Xi was thinking: What will the Tianxi Pavilion be like?
When she arrived in the front hall, she found that everyone else had already arrived, including Xiao Dashao, who was smiling and smiling.
"Steward Zhong, everyone is here, it's time to eat. Xiao Dagongzi said to Steward Zhong.
"Okay, Xiao Gongzi. I'll take you to the restaurant, please come with me. Steward Zhong replied while leading the way.
Walk through a lotus pond from the front hall to the restaurant, and the plaque hanging at the door of the restaurant reads: Linglong Pavilion.
To be honest, the restaurant is really similar to the restaurant where dignitaries and nobles often go in the costume dramas we usually watch, and the waiters are all wearing ancient costumes, which really has a sense of immediacy, not to mention that the dishes on the table look like they are full of antiquity.
Everyone was hungry, so they found a place and sat down to eat. The restaurant, which I thought would be noisy, was surprisingly quiet.
The cold dishes are placed in advance, and when the hot dishes are served, when the waiter reports the name of the dish, it will unconsciously remind people of a Qiong Yao drama "Huanzhu Gege", and there is a scene about the name of the dish that Qianlong thought of when he went out of the palace to pay a private visit to Weifu. It is definitely the same as the one here now, what is the clear water out of hibiscus, the dragon and the phoenix, and the overlord farewell concubine......
The waiters here are all recruited with a bachelor's degree or above in Chinese language and literature, and they can only be officially hired after strict training and screening, which is also quite good. After all, the waiters in the general hotel or resort are not so high-standard, and those with education and ability may not be willing to do the work of waiters, right? Business managers know this all too well.
After the meal, they dispersed and went back to their respective rooms to rest, and at the same time, they were very excited and curious about the email they were about to receive about the itinerary.
After returning to the room, the first thing Ling Xi did was to look through the check-in instructions, which were roughly as follows:
1. After moving in and leaving the garden, we will equip you with a personal butler who will serve you throughout the process.
2. Please change into the ancient costumes we provide for you after moving in, which is limited to the area of leaving the garden, and you can choose to leave the garden, we do not require it.
3. It is strictly forbidden to carry or use any electronic products except for your own room in the garden.
4. The mountain behind the garden and Tianbao Pavilion are temporarily closed to the public, and tourists are strictly prohibited from entering.
5. There are many institutions in the garden, please be sure to follow the signs to avoid entering by mistake.
6. All activities in the garden will be announced by the staff of the garden, and will be handed over to you by your personal butler every day, and all VIPs who leave the garden need to participate in at least two activities, otherwise you will be secretly detained by the garden for two hours as a punishment.
I didn't think it was quite interesting here, I only heard about the palace before, I only knew that it was a resort villa, and I needed to make an appointment to review it if I wanted to go on vacation, and the legend was that the boss of the palace was the original royal family, and the palace was also his ancestral industry after the transformation of the palace just opened to the public this year, and other specific information is little known to the outside world, which also adds a lot of mystery here. Originally, Ling Xi thought it was just a means of commercial marketing, but now it seems that it is really a bit unpredictable, and there is indeed a mysterious energy everywhere.
This made her who was originally not interested in this outing instantly refreshed, and now she is curious and looking forward to the three-day and two-night journey. For the first time, I felt that in addition to work, I felt that it was also interesting.
She didn't have the habit of napping, so she simply opened the closet and looked at it, thinking about picking a suitable costume for herself to wear. After a quick sweep, in fact, each piece is very good-looking, so just take a set of white, and don't have to worry about it.
After picking out the clothes, she walked straight to the bookshelf, and the bamboo slips on this shelf were her favorites. Originally, I thought that those bamboo slips were nothing more than ancient literary works similar to the Four Books and Five Classics, the Book of Poetry and the Book of Rites, but it turned out to be very unexpected, most of these bamboo slips are little-known anecdotes of the past dynasties, as for the content on it is true or false, it is not known, besides, true and false are not so important, it is good to read it as a novel. This Ligong, this Liyuan is really interesting.
