Chapter 11: A Sudden Chill 2
The people of Quanping all know that at that time, the new Jing Zhaoyin of Daliang was strict in law enforcement, fair and strict, and although he had been in office for half a year, he had never wronged a good person, nor had he let go of a bad person.
Zhu Ziyao was confused, and he once fell into the hands of his predecessor Jing Zhaoyin because he accidentally injured his classmates, but fortunately, no one died, and Zhu Huichan was meticulously protected, otherwise Zhu Ziyao would have gone to prison a long time ago!
A year ago, after Zhu Ziyao drunkenly molested a woman from a good family on the street, the current Jing Zhaoyin finally let go, if he was caught doing evil again, and the new and old accounts would be counted together, then Zhu Ziyao would only have to wait for prison to eat.
In the past, Chen Rou and Zhu Ziyao wisely chose to give up the competition for the Han Academy, and the matter of the Han Academy was revealed.
Since moving into the Korean Academy, Zhu Zimo has gradually gained some status in the Zhu Mansion, but no matter what, Zhu Zimo is still the son of a maid and a concubine.
No matter how much Zhu Jing doted on Zhu Zimo during his lifetime, his status will never be as good as Zhu Hui's son born to Chen Rou, Zhu Hui's sister-in-law, Zhu Ziyao.
Yes, most of the subordinates in the Zhu Mansion respected him and respected him in the open, but they cast a contemptuous look at him behind his back, and only a very small number of subordinates respected Zhu Zimo, the second young master, from the bottom of their hearts.
Because of the will left by Zhu Jing, since Zhu Zimo moved into the Han Courtyard, the Han Courtyard has become a forbidden place in the Zhu Mansion, and all the subordinates passing by the Han Courtyard are taking a detour, for fear that Zhu Zimo will not be happy to find Jing Zhaoyin to let them work in the Zhu Mansion.
However, if you really want to study it carefully, there are still four people in this huge Zhu Mansion who can enter and leave the Han Courtyard at will, except for Zhu Zimo himself and Liu Ruyun, those four people are Lin Zhiwu, Lin Zhisheng and Ziyu, and the last one is Lu Xueyue.
Speaking of Lu Xueyue, although her appearance can only be regarded as delicate, she is a smart and clever girl, and later because she is honest and never chews the root of her tongue behind her back, when she was twelve or thirteen years old, she became a second-class maid waiting in Chen Rou's courtyard for the first time.
Although she is only second-class, her status and moon silver are not as good as the first-class maid waiting by Chen Rou's side, but she is also a maid with status.
Lu Xueyue's life experience is as miserable as Ziyu, she was sold into Zhu's Mansion when she was four or five years old, and she signed a death contract, and she was a member of Zhu's Mansion from this life to death.
Xu is because of this relationship, Lu Xueyue and Ziyu are extremely close, but after all, because of the different masters they serve, they are not very close, but usually the other party has a little favor and helps each other.
Lu Xueyue's good Zhu Zimo for Liu Ruyun and Ziyu was in her eyes, so Zhu Zimo acquiesced to Lu Xueyue's behavior of entering and leaving the Korean Academy.
Of course, although Lu Xueyue has the right to enter and exit the Korean courtyard at will, she is a second-class maid who serves the eldest lady Chen Rou after all, so there is no need for Zhu Zimo to say that Lu Xueyue also knows that her "free entry and exit" is limited to entering and leaving the courtyard of the Korean courtyard.
After officially moving into the Korean Academy, Zhu Zimo began to think about the layout of the Korean Academy.
Zhu Zimo first ordered Baihu to find him a lot of rockeries and strange stones, and then drew a formation diagram for Baihu to lead people to arrange those rockeries and strange stones according to the formation diagram, and also set up a mechanism that could make those rockeries and strange stones in the courtyard move on their own.
When Zhu Zimo didn't want people to enter the Han Courtyard, as long as he touched the mechanism, the maze arranged by those rockeries and strange stones would be activated, and as long as someone accidentally broke into the rockery, they would lose their way.
On the contrary, when Zhu Zimo wants people to enter the Korean Courtyard, close the mechanism, and the maze arranged by those rockeries and strange stones will be closed, and whoever walks in it will not lose their way.
It's been two years since I got the maze in the Korean Academy.
It just so happened that Qinglong had established Qinglong City, so Zhu Zimo used the power of Qinglong City to hollow out the bottom of the pavilion without harming the pavilion in the Han Courtyard, and then filled it with more mud and stones, raising the entire pavilion by three meters!
Originally, the Han Courtyard was located in the highest place in the Zhu Mansion, nearly two meters higher than any place in the Zhu Mansion, so that the originally limited field of vision suddenly became wider.
Standing on the corridor on the second floor of the pavilion and looking down on the layout of the entire Zhu Mansion is simply a breeze, no matter which courtyard, whether it is a pavilion or a corner, you can see it clearly.
Five years ago, when Zhu Zimo finally raised the pavilion in the Han Courtyard by three meters, I don't know who in the house inadvertently noticed the matter, and it was spread to the hundreds, and finally everyone was stunned by this scene, and they all said that the soul of the old lady Zhu came back to guard the Han Courtyard, and those subordinates almost knelt outside the Han Courtyard with incense and candle offerings.
Zhu Zimo did not react to the rumors of those subordinates in the house, he should eat, drink, sleep, just like every day in the past five years.
Originally, the maze in the Korean courtyard had not been opened for more than four years, this morning Lu Xueyue came to invite Zhu Zimo to go to the main hall of the front yard, and when he walked to the gate of the courtyard, Zhu Zimo suddenly thought that there was a cold sun in his bedroom, and while Lu Xueyue was not paying attention, he opened the maze easily, and the result was that it was troublesome.
Leng Qing naturally didn't know about this, but it was strange to see that there was no courtyard gate in this huge courtyard.
However, strange to strange, Leng Qing still stepped down the dozen or so bluestone steps in front of the pavilion and stepped into the maze arranged by rockery and strange stones.
After entering the maze, Leng Qing walked along the left side for a while, but as she walked, she always felt that she couldn't get out, and in the end, Leng Qing went directly to the dead end.
Looking at the rockery in front of him, which was uneven and more than three meters high, Leng Qing was depressed.
After looking left and right to make sure that there was no other way to go, Leng Qing had to turn around and return the same way.
Exiting the maze, Leng Qing walked to the top of the steps, turned around, and looked at the rockeries that were almost at eye level with her, Leng Qing could only be depressed again.
sighed, raised his head, and the corners of Leng Qing's mouth suddenly hooked up a light smile.
Glancing down at the rockeries not far in front of her, Leng Qing turned around and walked towards the staircase on her left.
Ascending to the second floor of the pavilion, walking to the corridor guardrail, holding the railing with both hands, Leng Qing looked at it, and the layout of the entire maze was clearly presented in front of Leng Qing's eyes.
After looking at it carefully for a while, the smile on the corner of Leng Qing's mouth deepened.
It turned out to be the Nine Palaces Bagua Array!
Leng Qing sighed a little, a maze that she walked out of for the first time when she was four years old stumped her today. No wonder she felt a little familiar when she walked around for a long time, but she couldn't get out!
When Leng Qing was a child, she walked the Nine Palaces Bagua Array, and the entrance and exit were next to each other, but now the entrance and exit of the Nine Palaces Bagua Array, which is arranged by rockeries and strange stones, are relatively set up. The entrance is next to the stairs of this pavilion, and the exit is at the gate of the courtyard, yes, Leng Qing didn't expect this to be the Nine Palaces Bagua Array that was very popular in later generations.
Looking further away, Leng Qing was stunned.
Layers of dark gray tiled roofs, bamboo lakes, pavilions in the middle of the lake, pavilions standing among flowers and trees, winding corridors, vermilion lacquered guardrails and log pillars, maids and servants gathered in twos and threes to do things or gossip.
What a peaceful scene!
Of course, this is Leng Qing's idea after seeing the tranquility on the surface of the Zhu Mansion, but as everyone knows, at this time, in the main hall in the front yard of the Zhu Mansion, a good show quietly kicked off!
With a smile, he turned around and walked down the second floor, re-entering the maze, Leng Qing strode confidently between the rockeries and strange rocks.
A moment later, Leng Qing walked out of the maze and stood outside the gate of the Han Academy.
Looking back at the full moon-shaped arch behind him, two characters are carved directly above the arch, which are small seals depicted in vermilion lacquer.
Leng Qing used to go to college and reported a calligraphy class, learning cursive, and her roommate in the same dormitory also learned calligraphy, but it was seal script.
The two often practice together when they have nothing to do, and although Leng Qing did not learn all the seal script fonts in China, Leng Qing happened to know those two words, which were the words "Han Yuan".
Looking down at the maze behind the arch, Leng Qing smugly hooked the corners of her mouth.
It's just a small nine-palace gossip array, and Leng Qing, a maze more complicated than this, has walked out, and even the pineapple garden maze (the world's longest maze is located in the Duer pineapple orchard on Oahu, Hawaii), is a small case for her, a new human in the new century!
Looking around, the forest attic, Leng Qing didn't know where she should go to find Zhu Zimo.
Looking at the four stone paths leading to four directions in front of him, Leng Qing simply chose the stone path on the far left and walked up with his legs.
While walking slowly along the uneven gravel path, Leng Qing looked left and right to enjoy the scenery along the road.
Not to mention, this ancient is different, as long as you have a few dollars, you can decorate your home like a Suzhou garden.
The purpose is not rockery or flowers and trees or pavilions, if you put it in the modern era, even if there are tens of millions, if you don't have connections, don't want to decorate this style.
Thinking to herself, Leng Qing unconsciously walked to the gate of a courtyard.
Stopping and looking up, Leng Qing saw three characters carved directly above the full moon-shaped arch in front of him, which were also small seals, not depicted with any color of lacquer.
Unfortunately, these three words Leng Qing also happened to know.
What kind of place is this?
Leng Qing frowned and thought: This ancient person is troublesome, no matter how many people in the family have to live in several courtyards, this Warm Fragrance Pavilion should also be the courtyard where the owner of this mansion and the like live!
Walking into the courtyard gate, Leng Qing only felt that this courtyard was very deserted, except for a few scattered maple trees and a row of orchids planted under the courtyard wall, only the two-story eight-room pavilion standing in the center of the courtyard remained.
Moreover, this courtyard called Nuanxiang Pavilion is obviously more than three times smaller than the Korean courtyard that Leng Qing just came out of.
Anyway, he had already walked to the gate of the courtyard, and Leng Qing simply continued to walk forward.
Approaching the pavilion step by step, and when he was about to step up the three steps in front of the pavilion, a sudden explosion really startled Leng Qing.
"Who is coming!How dare you trespass into the Warm Fragrance Pavilion!!"
