Shitang Zhuhai's other industries cover a huge area, with hundreds of acres, but the main body of other houses is about 1,000 square meters. It is built on a gentle slope www.biquge.info with dense bamboo forests on both sides and behind, and an open field in front of it is full of flowers and plants. Standing under the porch in the front yard of the house, you can clearly see the beautiful scenery of Jiulong Lake not far away. When the breeze comes, enjoy the lake and bamboo shadows, this scenery is also intoxicating.

There are many courtyards inside the industry, all of which are connected by a wide verandah. When a person walks under the porch, he does not have to go through the open ground to walk all over the house. On rainy and snowy days, this design is especially practical. Compared with ordinary houses, this house is not only square and spacious, but the doors and windows are larger, allowing as much fresh air as possible to blow into the room, making the house look very cool. However, since the house is surrounded by verandahs, I am not worried that when the wind and rain hit, it will blow into the house through the wide windows and wet the contents of the house.

As for the verandah outside the house, Qin Hanzhen noticed that there were grooves under the eaves and pillars of the corridor that formed a straight line, and asked the people waiting in the other industry, only to know that there were paper-paste movable window pages of three warehouses in the back house warehouse, which could be moved into this recess at any time, turning the verandah with ventilation on all sides into a sealed inner corridor, and when it snowed in winter, there was no need to brave the wind and snow to go out, and the same way around the verandah could walk all over the house, which was very convenient. The wisdom of the ancients is really not to be underestimated.

The house is spacious and airy, and although there is not much furniture, it is all there should be. In the yard in front of the house and behind the house, a lot of flowers and plants are also planted, and some lake stones are piled up meaningfully, ponds are dug up, and lotus fish are raised.

In addition to this main house, there are many side annexes in the area, such as a small wharf by the lake, where small boats are tied to the wharf, which can be used by people living here to boat on the lake, a bamboo corridor has also been built along the shore of the lake, where people can walk slowly and watch the scenery, and in the bamboo forest, there is a small grass pavilion not far away on the nearby hillside for people to rest, and so on. This area is the owner's private reserve, and even snakes, insects, rats, and mosquitoes have been removed, not to mention other people's homes. The male and female servants of the other houses lived in terraced houses a hundred feet away from the main house, and the nearest neighbor's house was three miles away. There is a two-person high earthen wall built around Beye, which keeps outsiders out of this quiet mountain woodland. To get to the nearest village market, you have to walk at least five miles.

It really is a quiet place to escape the heat. However, in the eyes of the host's family, it may be a little remote, right? No wonder the host's family would rather go to Hangzhou West Lake to escape the summer than come to this stone pond and bamboo sea.

However, Qin Bai likes this place very much. As soon as he saw the endless bamboo forest in front of the house and behind the house, he immediately liked this place, and couldn't help but chant two lines of poetry. Qin Hanzhen was a little far away, and he didn't hear what he was chanting clearly, but he felt that it was not a poem that he was familiar with on weekdays, but probably composed by himself, reciting the scenery of this bamboo forest. Wu Shaoying also sang peace with him and chanted a few words.

Qin Hanzhen asked himself if he was such an elegant person, and only dragged Zhao Mo around to look around, looking at the scenery inside and outside the house. What she likes most about this place is that it is surrounded by the private land of the owner's family, and there are no outsiders, so she can rest assured that she can run around the neighborhood and no one will stop her. God knows, except for Qinzhuang, there are really few places like this that allow her to move around freely. But Qinzhuang is full of residences and clansmen, in the Chengenhou Mansion, there are also overlapping courtyards, and there are many girls and mothers-in-law, where can it compare with this place with a wide field of vision and few people?

Qin Hanzhen and Zhao Mo visited around. There are mothers-in-law who are left by the master's family to wait, and they are softly introduced to the good scenery around, and there are many benefits that outsiders can't see, and there is a lot of wild fun. If there's one thing that's missing, it's probably that there are a lot of mosquitoes here. However, Qin Hanzhen had prepared mosquito repellent incense before he came, and he was not afraid of it.

The mother-in-law also said that there are bamboo shoots to dig in the bamboo forest, saying that they are fresher and more delicious than those elsewhere. Qin Hanzhen was very interested by her, and hurriedly asked, "Can we borrow it to live here, can we also dig bamboo shoots to eat?"

The mother-in-law smiled and said: "What is this? There are tens of thousands of acres of bamboo, and the guests can still dig up all the bamboo shoots in the forest? I am not afraid of your jokes, but I am afraid that even if you really dig up all the bamboo shoots, as long as you don't burn the bamboo forest, in a few months, many fresh bamboo shoots will grow in the forest." ”

Qin Hanzhen smiled and said, "That's really convenient, I also want a bamboo forest." ”

Zhao Mo blinked and said, "When I went to Huzhou last year, I also saw a large bamboo sea over there. Therefore, there is a lot of lake pens and paper there. Since there is such a large bamboo forest here, it is a pity to only dig some bamboo shoots to eat. ”

The mother-in-law said: "In addition to the bamboo shoots, our tofu here is also very famous, and you can try it." We can't compare to the paper and pen in Huzhou, but there are a few interesting bamboo products. The forest is full of bamboo, and if you want to do something, there are craftsmen in the nearby villages and towns, so you can just pass it on and tell him to cut it down, and make sure that it will satisfy you. These craftsmen have no other livelihood except to make small knick-knacks on weekdays and sell them in the market. If the guest is happy for a while, reward him with a few sons, which is his creation. ”

Qin Hanzhen heard that there was such a supporting game project, and he was even more interested, so he discussed with Zhao Mo, whether to make a few river lanterns and lanterns in advance, so as to prepare for Qixi Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival?

Originally, their family was going to go back to the capital, but now that Brother Zi'er has just arrived, it would be a pity to leave so soon. Moreover, before his father Qin Ping went south, he mentioned the matter of his mother Guan's grave moving, and they always had to wait until Guan's coffin was transported from the northwest, and they would be buried in the ancestral tomb on an auspicious day, and then pay respects...... I'm afraid that I will have to toss until the beginning of spring next year, and then I will talk about returning to Beijing. However, their family has nothing important to do in Beijing now, and it is not a hindrance to play outside for half a year.

Qin Hanzhen and Zhao Mo discussed while turning back to the upper room of the main courtyard. Niu has only visited the main courtyard, and is quite satisfied with the cleanliness of this place, and is calling the mother-in-law who is waiting here to ask about the situation in the house, and seeing that the granddaughter and Zhao Mo are back, they are busy asking them to sit down and eat some tea and rest: "After sitting in the carriage for half a day, Guanglu has been riding a horse all the way under the sun, aren't you hot, tired, and thirsty? I see that their tea here tastes a little more palatable than what we drank in Jinling. It's cool in this room, so sit down and rest. The kitchen was already cooking lunch, and I heard that there were fresh bamboo shoots and fish. ”

Qin Hanzhen looked at Brother Zi'er lying on the bamboo couch in the blue yarn cupboard: "Brother Zi'er, what's the matter?

Niu Shi sighed: "How do I know? When he first came in, he was quite happy, pulling around the front and back of Xia He's house, and he was in good spirits. But when he came back, he looked wilted again, and I was afraid that he was really hot on the road, so I told him to lie down and rest inside. After eating for a while, give him a pill of Qingxin Pill and see how it goes. I don't know where there is a good doctor nearby, if there is, please come and check his pulse to see if he is really sick. ”

The housekeeper of the other industry said: "Back to the distinguished guest, there is no good doctor nearby, there is a small pharmacy in the town, the shopkeeper in it knows some pharmacology, and on weekdays to catch some medicine for headache and brain fever, to the little son of the Hakka family to diagnose the pulse, I am afraid that he has the courage to treat, we have not dared to invite it." ”

When Niu heard this, he couldn't help but feel worried.

Qin Hanzhen said: "Grandfather also knows some pharmacology, when he got out of the car, didn't he check Brother Zi'er's pulse? No matter how interesting this place is, no one plays with him, what's the point? I knew that this was the case, and when he said goodbye to Brother Zhang'er and Brother Qi in the village in the morning, he cried so badly, so we simply brought Brother Zhang'er with him as a companion. Anyway, Uncle Kewen and Aunt Kewen in the fourth room are also willing. ”

Niu Shi said angrily: "How can it be done? In a few days it will be Brother Zhang'er's grandfather's birthday, how can he, as a grandson, not stay to congratulate the old man on his birthday, but follow us out to play?" But she still loves her grandson in her heart, and she can't bear to see him depressed anymore, so she said, "When it comes to your uncle's birthday, we will send someone to send gifts to congratulate him." At that time, tell Brother Zhang'er's parents, as soon as your uncle's birthday passes, our people will take Brother Zhang'er over. Brother Qi can't do it, he is the grandson of the sect, and he can't leave the village easily. ”

Even if there is only one Brother Zhang, it is enough to make Brother Zi'er happy. He finally got his spirits and had a smile on his face.

When Qin Hanzhen saw it, he smiled and poked his head lightly: "When did you learn to be weird? Since you miss your little friends, just tell your grandfather and grandmother, pretending to be sad here makes your grandmother feel distressed." ”

Brother Zi'er's face was flushed by her, and he lowered his head and whispered, "I don't want to be troublesome...... It's just that I miss my brothers a little. Actually, it will be fine in two days. ”

Qin Hanzhen smiled: "You have only been separated for a long time, and you miss your little brothers like this." What will you do when we return to the capital in the future? Do you want to stay with them?"

Brother Zi'er even said to her innocently: "That's good, it's fun to read and play with my brothers, but then I will miss my grandfather and grandmother." ”

Qin Hanzhen blinked, and couldn't help but sigh.

Qin Bai was sitting under the porch outside the window, chatting with Wu Shaoying with his hands behind his back, and was silent for a long time when he heard what his grandson said in the house.

Wu Shaoying whispered to him: "Teacher, what the student just said is not without purpose. Although Brother Zi'er is a child, he is very smart, and he can see the kindness and malice of the people around him most clearly, but he is young and ashamed to mention it to his elders. The personnel of the Marquis Mansion in Beijing are complicated, and there are many discussions about his life experience, even after a few years, the rumors outside gradually cease, but the people still inevitably have to talk about it more. Even if the teacher and the housekeeper are strict and do not allow the family to mention it, how can outsiders' mouths be blocked? Besides, Brother Zi'er is a boy, and it is impossible for him to stay in the inner house and not go out in the future. He asks for study, friendship, and imperial examinations, which one does not need to interact with outsiders? The rumors are sinister, can he stand it as a child?"

Qin Bai sighed lightly, but still didn't speak.

Wu Shaoying continued: "In comparison, Qin Zhuang is much simpler. The clansmen in the village have a lot of places to rely on the teacher, and they dare not snub him, and there are good clan brothers to keep him company. He studied in the clan study, and in the future, he will take the children's examination, and he will also take the examination in his hometown. By the time he needs to go back to Beijing, he has grown up, so where is he afraid of that little gossip?"
