Chapter 211: Garden
The reason for this, in fact, Ling Yan really knows a thing or two.
But now that the carriage had slowly stopped, it was really not a good time to say this, so Ling Yan turned her head and smiled at Xiao Yu comfortingly, and said, "Anyway, it's not a bad thing, I'll talk to you later, okay?" Now ready to get off. ”
Hearing this, Xiao Yu guessed that Ling Yan knew about this, and his heart was relieved, and he nodded with a smile.
Xiao Pei also breathed a sigh of relief.
Not long after, a maid came over and opened the curtain, put up the stool, and helped the three of them get out of the car. Originally, Old Madam Xiao also said that she would come over, but she didn't expect it to be delayed until the afternoon, the weather was so hot, when would you not be able to see this county lord's mansion, don't let the old lady suffer from heat stroke.
So a few people persuaded Mrs. Xiao to dispel the idea of coming with her.
Before getting out of the car, Xiao Yu only felt a wave of heat rushing to his face, and the tip of his nose suddenly sweated.
And Ling Yan beside her had already reached out and took the fan in Xiao Xue's hand and shook it, even if a maid hit an umbrella in time to shade it, she couldn't stand even the wind being hot.
Xiao Yu couldn't help but ask, "Why don't you just take the carriage in?" Could it be that there is nothing to pay attention to here? ”
I only heard a maid next to me reply: "What the two masters mean is that the county lord can take a look at it from the gate first." ”
Ling Yan couldn't help frowning: "Can you look good when it's so hot?" ”
At this time, he saw Xiao Wenqiao coming over angrily and reprimanded: "Idiot who doesn't know how to be flexible!" Why don't you help a few girls get into the car? If the heat is good, see if I don't go back, the old lady will sell you all! Of course, there's nothing wrong with stopping here in the morning, it's such a hot day. Let the girl stand under the sun. ”
Seeing this, those maids didn't dare to come out, so they hurriedly helped Xiao Pei into the car first.
Xiao Yu shook his head and said to Xiao Wenqiao: "Brother Twelve, has you eaten a cannon battle?" The anger is so big. You know that these subordinates are doing what they are told, and you don't want to stop at the door when it's hot, so you should send someone over to say something. ”
At this time, Ling Yan also got into the carriage.
Xiao Wenqiao scratched his head and said with some embarrassment: "Seeing my sister drying here, I was in a hurry." I wanted to call a little guy to come over and talk about it halfway, but then I forgot about it. It was my inconsiderate thinking that made my sister suffer from the heat. It's hot outside, so my sister should get in the car quickly. ”
After speaking, he raised his hand and personally helped Xiao Yu into the car.
Sitting back in the cool car, Ling Yan smiled and said, "Sister Ah Yu is calmer than Cousin Twelve Cousins. ”
Xiao Yu smiled: "It would be good to have more experience." And they're all as old-fashioned as me, so it's okay not to freak out my grandmother, right? Sister? ”
Xiao Pei was listening to the two with a smile. Seeing that it was on himself, he shook his head and smiled: "How can you still have a calm appearance?" ”
Ling Yan also smiled: "Sister Ah Yu can't stand the praise, so she praised her, and her true form was revealed." ”
While laughing, the carriage drove into the county lord's mansion, and Ling Yan simply closed the curtain of the car window to enjoy the scenery in the mansion.
Not far away is a tree-lined path, with thick shade and sparse flowers and trees beside the road. There is also a vine entanglement.
Then I saw the house.
I saw that the houses on both sides were neat, and Zhu Hudan window. The eaves of the leva appear elegant and clumsy, the shape is magnanimous, and the momentum is extraordinary; And the pavilions and pavilions behind the house are scattered, rockery flowers and trees, long bridge ponds, and elegant and pleasant. It not only has the atmosphere of the county lord's mansion, but also does not lose the chic of the Jiangnan garden.
The three of them were applauded.
When we arrived at the main courtyard, the carriage slowly stopped. Xiao Yu took Banxia's hand, got out of the car first, and looked around.
When I came in, I found that this county lord's mansion really covers a wide area.
Although Jiangnan is famous for its gardens, it is too fast to build such a large garden with a pleasant scenery in less than a year.
Xiao Yu couldn't help but sigh a few words of praise.
At this time, Xiao Pei also got out of the carriage, and said with a smile when he heard the words: "Didn't you say that this was originally a famous garden?" ”
Ling Yan nodded and said: "That's right, this was originally the Qinyuan of the Liu family, a wealthy merchant in Changzhou, before somehow, the Liu family suddenly said that they would sell this garden, but it happened that Qin who was ordered to supervise the construction of the county lord's mansion went to Changzhou to select a site, and bought this garden when he took a fancy to it, and then transformed it into the county lord's mansion." ”
Xiao Yu couldn't help but be stunned: "Why didn't I hear about what even Sister Ah knew?"
Xiao Pei smiled: "It's no wonder to others, isn't it clearly written on the drawings of the county lord's mansion that I saw before?" ”
This one......
Xiao Yu really didn't pay attention, smiled sneeringly, touched the tip of his nose, and was speechless.
Not long after, Xiao Chuan and Xiao Wendong also came over. Because the third brother Xiao Wenbai had participated in the supervision and supervision of the county lord's mansion before, the next group of people guided the way in front of him and toured the garden in this mansion.
Move to change the scenery, but see the pavilions, ponds, pavilions, corridors and water pavilions in the garden are all extremely elegant; And the winding path leads to the secluded place, the forest is dripping green, the green bamboo forest, the mountains and rocks are exquisite, and the flowing water and waterfall make people feel like in the painting.
After walking for about half an hour, everyone came to the edge of a large lake in the county lord's mansion.
Xiao Wenbai smiled: "This is the dressing lake." ”
It is the height of summer, and under the low-hanging green willows are stretched lotus leaves and pavilion lotus flowers, pink and ruddy, and the breeze blows, bringing an elegant floral fragrance.
A nine-curved corridor was built by the lake, leading to a pavilion on the water.
Standing in the pavilion, look at the lotus leaves in the fields such as covers, green into pieces, embellished with or budding or blooming lotus flowers, beautiful.
Ling Yan said with a smile: "After a while, when Sister Ah Yu and Sister Xiao move in, a few of us can row a boat to pick lotus." ”
Picking lotus in Nantang autumn, lotus over the head. Bow your head and get lotus seeds, lotus seeds are as green as water.
Xiao Yu somehow remembered this poem and nodded with a smile.
After that, everyone visited the various scenery in the park, and Xiao Wenqiao and others also improvised a lot of poems, and before they knew it, it was already a waning day.
Seeing that it was not early, the main courtyards of the county lord's mansion had also been seen, and everyone returned by car.
And some of the small details mentioned by Xiao Yu and several people everywhere, Xiao Wenbai also asked people to write down so that they could make changes later.
After walking for so long during the day, several people were a little tired.
Although Xiao Yu remembered why Emperor Qi made an exception to make her the county lord and rewarded her heavily, he didn't bother Ling Yan anymore.
Early the next morning, Ling Yan came over.
Xiao Yu was changing clothes and freshening up, and when she saw this, she asked Ling Yan to pick a book from the shelf to read.
After a while, Xiao Pei also arrived, and the two talked beside them.
After Xiao Yu cleaned up, he opened the maids, looked at Ling Yan with blank eyes and asked, "Sister Yan, what's going on with that reward?" ”
Ling Yan deliberately paused for a moment before smiling slightly and said to the two: "I didn't think about it that much at the beginning, it was my brother, Playboy, and General Zhong who thought it was strange, so I went to investigate." ”
Xiao Yu asked, "What about later?" What did you find? ”
Ling Yan said with a smile: "That day, the concubine gave birth to a dragon and phoenix fetus, so the sacred heart is very happy, and it just so happens that Your Majesty dreamed of the goddess coming into the world before, and at this time, I heard that I found the legendary artifact, Qin Tianjian Zheng mentioned it, saying that this is a good omen, and I also think that Sister Ah Yu may be the fairy who descended to the earth, and the saint thought it was true, so he immediately asked people to draw up a holy decree." ”
Goddess?
Xiao Yu was in a trance when he heard this. That Qin Tianjian is used to pretending to be unfathomable, or is he really a master......
It's good that it's not a witch. (To be continued......)
