A month and a half has passed, and the garden in the general's mansion has completely changed, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, in addition to the garden, Chu Xinyao has renovated the general's mansion by the way.

A huge partition has been added to the entrance of the house, on which the landscape is carved in relief, which looks unique. The road on the general's mansion has all been modified by Chu Xinyao, and it is paved with the kind of time that is not too big or small, just enough for three people to walk in parallel, and a tree is planted at a distance on both sides of the road, the leaves are very luxuriant, used for shade, and the ground is green grass, and there is a flower that cannot be named at a distance of a few steps.

This flower was accidentally discovered by Chu Xinyao when she went out once, and the old man who sold the flower didn't know what the name of the flower was, the flower was not bright, there was an indescribable fragrance, and what was even more rare was that this flower was easy to survive, and it could survive by casually breaking a piece and inserting it in the soil.

The pond on the General's Mansion is the living water brought in from the underground river, and this underground river flows almost in a winding way through the entire capital, and it can be said that the water in the ponds of most large families is brought in from this dark river.

Chu Xinyao asked people to plug the valve, sent someone to clean up the entire pond, cleaned up the aquatic plants and some messy things inside, and sprinkled the grass and wood ashes into the mud in the pond, Chu Xinyao originally wanted to pour a few buckets of night incense into the pond, but was persuaded by Gu Bo, the reason is: In the end, it is the pond of the General's Mansion, and it can't smell bad. Chu Xinyao thought about this reason, and dispelled this idea.

In the imperial study, the emperor couldn't help laughing when he heard the news reported by the secret guard, he was funny in his heart, but he didn't care, and waved his hand to let the dark guard continue to lurk around the general's mansion and continued to review the folds in his hand.

The same situation also happened in the study of the General's Mansion, unlike the emperor's amusement, Gu Rinjun was completely angry and funny, "Madam really said that?" ”

"Yes, Madame also said that the soil should be fattened up, otherwise when the time comes, everything will be in vain." The shadow guard dutifully relayed what he heard to Gu Rinjun, and he was also amused and happy in his heart, fortunately, Gu Bo persuaded him, otherwise the general's mansion would be in a foul smell.

In a few days, the entire pond was cleaned up, Chu Xinyao looked at it and was very satisfied, although she couldn't pour the night incense into it to fatten the silt in the pond, but thinking that the general's mansion would stink, Chu Xinyao quickly shook her head and threw out the thoughts in her heart.

In addition to repairing the pond, Chu Xinyao also asked people to dig a small ditch in the general's mansion to draw out the living water in the pond, and then divide it to flow throughout the general's mansion, of course, the thickest small ditch flowed back to the largest garden in the general's mansion. The other small rivers are dug in the middle of the grass or in the middle of the woods, so that no one will accidentally step into them, and the existence of those small rivers is well hidden, Chu Xinyao is very satisfied with the method that Gu Bo came up with.

"Madam," Gu Bo walked up to Chu Xinyao with a few craftsmen, "The things you ordered a few days ago have been done, but this thing is ....." Where to put it?

Chu Xinyao's eyes lit up after seeing Gu Bo, and she was even happier after seeing the few people behind Gu Bo and the things in their hands, and the corners of her mouth curled, "Thank you Uncle Gu, I'm sorry for your trouble." Leave these things to me, and you go and open the water valve to the maximum, and then fill the pool as fast as you can. ”

"But Madame..."

"Uncle Gu, don't worry, since I found someone to make it, I must know what this thing is for, you just go to waterproof."

Gu Bo wanted to say something, but after seeing the general's wife's unambiguous character, he had to swallow the words that came to his mouth, and then went to open the water valve to the maximum.

Chu Xinyao made this is nothing else, it is a common thing in Japanese gardens in the 21st century that can make a crisp sound with a bamboo tube at regular intervals, called Luwei, also known as adding water. This kind of thing was originally used to drive away birds and beasts of the general name, adding water is specifically the use of a certain amount of storage of running water to transfer the balance of the two ends of the bamboo tube, and then one end of the bamboo tube knocks on the stone to make a sound, so as to disturb the garden birds, wild boars, etc. Later, in the Japanese garden, it became a form of landscape design, and the sound of bamboo, which was originally used to drive away birds, was also transferred to a purifying expression through the two symbols of purity of bamboo and water, and later evolved into a unique and elegant decoration in the garden.

Although Chu Xinyao is very resentful of the country of Japan, some of their things are still worth learning from and liking, at least adding water is very suitable for use in this antique courtyard today.

Chu Xinyao commanded the rest of the people, placed the water in the place that had been dug a long time ago, adjusted the position and angle, and now everything is in place, only the east wind is owed, as long as the water in this pool is full, then it can overflow and flow out along the place that has been dug a long time ago, and fall where the water is located.

There is a small waterhole below, and when the water in the water is full, it is poured into the waterhole, and from the waterhole it flows down the dug small river to the general's mansion, and flows throughout the general's mansion.

Taking advantage of the gap in the pond to store water, Chu Xinyao walked around among the generals, the pond is the only pavilion in the General's Mansion, the pond is in the south, and the courtyard in the General's Mansion is in the north, oh no, now it's called the garden.

The garden was fenced, and there were many flowers and trees planted in the garden, peach blossoms were the most, followed by osmanthus flowers, and some others that could not be named, and the rest were oranges and grapes. Chu Xinyao was very willful and drew a piece of land out of the two corners on the east and west sides of the garden, the one on the west side was in the innermost part of the garden, planted with medicinal herbs given to her by Gu Rinjun, and the land on the east side was used by Chu Xinyao to grow vegetables.

The garden and this pool are the most and the most changed places in the entire General's Mansion, where other places can be planted trees, grass is planted, and the rest are all planted bamboo, which is full of the entire backyard of the General's Mansion, and even spreads to the edge of the school field in the General's Mansion.

In addition to the outside of the house, the house is also full of green, and all kinds of small green potted plants are placed everywhere, of course, this is specially made by Chu Xinyao.

In a month and a half, the entire General's Mansion has changed greatly, and now the only thing that is missing is the pool and the small river ditch of the Manbu General's Mansion, if this thing is all in operation, the transformation of the entire General will be completed.

Chu Xinyao looked at the various vegetables planted in the vegetable field with great satisfaction, although there were not many types, but they were all things that she originally focused on in Shangshu Mansion.

Just as Chu Xinyao wanted to invite him to continue wandering, Gu Bo came over, and when Chu Xinyao saw Gu Bo, he understood that the pool must be overflowing.

Without waiting for Uncle Gu to speak, Chu Xinyao took two steps forward and asked happily, "Uncle Gu, but the pond is ready?" ”

Gu Bo smiled and nodded, "Exactly, do you want to take a look?" ”

Chu Xinyao nodded, "Okay." ”

"By the way, the general is too." After walking a few steps, Gu Bo said casually.

Chu Xinyao paused, and said secretly in his heart: Could it be that Gu Rinjun came out on purpose? In order to see the effect of the rectification of the General's Palace? It can't be so boring, right? I should have been tired of going around, but I just happened to meet ......
