Lao Li's appearance looks like he is old. But the pace is not like it at all, Luo Wei can see clearly from behind, this old housekeeper walks like flying. It may be an exaggeration to say that there is wind under your feet, but the strength and kung fu under your feet are not comparable to ordinary people.

Walking around the big house, the old housekeeper didn't say anything.

Seeing that he was late at the place, Luo Wei couldn't help but speak: "Old housekeeper, your body is much better than my old man's body, is there any way to maintain health, can you give me some advice?"

Mr. Luo said with a smile, the old man practiced some kung fu when he was young. Now that I'm old, my body is not so good, and coughing and back pain are not diseases, they have become the norm. Lao Li turned his head and smiled, but he didn't hide it, and answered Luo Wei's words.

Luo Wei also laughed a few times and continued: "You have been working in this Wen Mansion for some years, right?"

Lao Li nodded and said, "Well, what Mr. Luo said is good. This year is fifty or sixty years. I'm very familiar with this house. For example, the rockery by the pond was moved in by me. ”

"Wow, you were also a great ..... back then" Luo Wei glanced at the place where Lao Li pointed out, slapped a fart directly, and continued to ask: "I see that the Wen Mansion is so big, if I didn't have you to lead the way, I would definitely have lost my way." Can you tell me about the general location and where are we going?"

"Hehe, I thought Mr. Luo wouldn't ask. Lao Li stopped, smiled, looked at Luo Wei and said, "Our Wen family will hold a dinner party for outsiders every two years, Mr. Luo should know this, right?"

Luo Wei nodded, Tian Ji had told him about this before he came.

"I think Mr. Luo, you are a fresh face, and it should be the first time to come to our Wen family's dinner, so it is not surprising that you are not familiar with this place. Lao Li smiled and continued: "In fact, most of the people who have attended the dinner party in the past few years are those people. If you were a guest in the past, you must know that there are all those things here, and you won't get lost. ”

"Actually, Wen Mansion is easy to identify the direction, Mr. Luo still remembers the main road where we entered the house, right?"

Luo Wei nodded, of course he remembered. The reason why this house is like an old house is not because of this? After stepping through the half-meter-high threshold of the entrance, a stone wall that just blocked the gate stood in front of it. The big houses like to set up a kind of wall like this, blocking the door, in order to block the bad things from outside, and then block the good things running out of the house.

Once you enter the gate, you can enter on both the left and right sides. After entering, there was a large courtyard first, Luo Wei looked ahead, it felt like a avenue, and then countless courtyards, you can rush to the courtyard of the main gate, and look all the way to the end.

Lao Li said at this time: "Let's come in from the main gate, and we can see the depths of the Wen Mansion at a glance, that is the main road." On both sides of the main road, there is a narrow passage, which is placed in the past, and that is where the people walk. In addition to the two narrow passages, there are two large courtyards on the left and right. To the left of the main road of the main entrance is the inner courtyard we are talking about, which is where the master's family lives, and we generally have nothing to do, and we will not go there. ”

"Then the main road and the right courtyard are the places where guests are entertained, that is, the outside world, which is also called the outer court. ”

Luo Wei nodded when he heard this, and he had some general impressions in his mind.

Lao Li saw that Luo Wei didn't understand, and he didn't be stingy, he didn't say these anyway, others would also explain it clearly, so he continued: "The main road goes inside from the main gate, there are four layers respectively, and there are twelve gates counting the main gate. ”

"The first floor, which is the courtyard where the main entrance enters, is called the Welcome Garden. The main entrance went through the courtyard and went inside, and I saw the second door, which was the front door of the living room, and the back of the living room could lead to the narrow passage where people walked, and then the back was the back of the living room, and there was a small courtyard. Behind the small courtyard is a gate separating the first and second floors....."

"The second and third floors are all laid out in this way, and each floor has a corridor leading to the inner courtyard and the outer courtyard, and the pavilions and garden structures are different. On the fourth floor, it is connected to the inner courtyard and the outer courtyard, with the bathroom of the inner courtyard on the left and the kitchen and garden of the outer courtyard on the right. ”

Luo Wei secretly said no wonder, Lao Li Tou took him inside, and walked directly to the right after the welcome living room.

What Lao Li said next also confirmed Luo Wei's thoughts: "We are now walking through the corridor from the living room to the outer courtyard, and we walked along the way, first passing by a small pond, and then several side houses and small courtyards. They are Green Lake, Peach Garden, Pear Garden, and Stone Garden. ”

"After this stone garden here, we will come to the place where we meet the guests. Lao Li pointed to the end of the corridor, which was a one-person high circular arch, and the edge of the door was up, and there was a bluestone slab, on which the words "bamboo garden" were engraved.

"Young Master Wen is waiting for you there, and there are many guests too. ”

Lao Li came here with Luo Wei, so he said goodbye and left by himself.

He also talked a little about the situation in the bamboo garden.

In the bamboo garden, there is a large bamboo forest, which is the largest garden in the Wen house. Every year, the Wen family's dinner is arranged here.

In addition to the bamboo, there is a group of wings repaired along the foot of the mountain, as well as a large banquet hall.

According to Lao Li, they stayed here at night. Eating, drinking, and playing are basically in this bamboo garden.

Luo Wei entered the door of the bamboo garden, and what he saw was a piece of emerald green.

At the foot is a two-person wide path paved with gravel, and on either side is a bamboo forest surrounded by a fence.

The road goes up a hill, and although there are many curves in the middle, you can still see the wings from a distance.

Because it is at the foot of the mountain, there is still fog at this time, entangled in the forest, the artistic conception of seeing is full, very elegant, like a fairyland. The air between the mouth and nose is also sweet, and I don't know if someone here is burning incense, or if it is so blessed.

Along the path in the bamboo forest, Luo Wei walked for three to five minutes before arriving at his destination.

Outside the house, there are also several small ponds, and there are even a few koi fish in them, which are playing happily.

This kind of arrangement and grade, Luo Wei has only seen it on TV.

In front of the house is a staircase, and after going up, there is the door to the house.

The door is now open, and there is still a plaque on the edge of the door.

The plaque reads four words: "There are friends."

Only then did Luo Wei notice that after entering the house, both sides of the lobby were poems or picture scrolls written by ancient literati and scholars who would visit friends and friends.

"Luo Wei!!"

"Why are you here?"
