Chen Wenhui returned home, first went back to the room to change into homely clothes, and then came to Bai's upper room with the things she got from Wang's family. Bai didn't have a lunch break because he had to wait for his daughter to come back, and he was very happy to see his daughter come back happily.

Chen Wenhui and Bai talked about today's experience in detail, and praised the peony flowers of the Wang family very much. Finally, he took out what he got today and showed it to Bai.

Bai Shi first looked at the gold bracelet given by Mrs. Wang, nodded, and then looked at the jade Xiaohuadian given by Wan Meizhen, and couldn't help but praise: "I have long heard that the workmanship of this Wanjia Silver Building is very good, and it is really good, although it is not as good as the internal affairs office in Beijing, but it is better in being exquisite and meticulous." It's good to go shopping when you're free another day. He told his daughter to put it away, and looked at the things given by the Lan sisters, but there were two yarns, one azure and one red. The yarn was soft and fine, like a shadow.

Chen Wenhui said: "This is the one in the Lan family's shop, called Yuanying Yarn. I look very good, even better than our family, my mother looked, it is said to be this year's new color. ”

Bai Shi looked at it carefully, and it was really good. said: "It seems that the fabric is still good in Jiangnan, we should also go to the Lan family's shop another day." ”

The best given by Wang Yaozhen is two pots of very valuable peony flowers, one pot of "Mohai" and the other pot of "bean green", both planted in fine white porcelain pots.

Bai said: "These two pots of peonies are very good, black and green peonies are the most precious, I didn't expect the Wang family to have them." ”

Chen Wenhui said: "Sister Yaozhen said that their peonies were bought by his father from Luoyang with a lot of money, and the florist was also hired from Luoyang, so his family's peony is the first in Ancheng." ”

Bai said: "If it's right from Luoyang, Luoyang is the best peony in the world, no wonder there are so many famous products, you have to take care of it." Chen Wenhui agreed.

Bai was afraid that his daughter would be tired, so he hurriedly sent his daughter to take a nap. In the evening, the two Chen brothers heard that their sister had two pots of good peonies, and they wanted to go to see them.

Chen Yuanheng also wanted to appreciate it, so he came to the daughter's room with his wife, son and daughter to appreciate the peony, but the two brothers of the Chen family were not as lucky as Chen Wenhui, and after appreciating the peony, Chen Yuanheng was forced to make two poems about peonies.

Chen Wenhui looked at the two elder brothers frowning and thinking, and was very happy.

At this moment, the housekeeper Chen Cai came and reported that the restaurant had been built, and asked Chen Yuanheng and Bai to go to the restaurant tomorrow. Chen Yuanheng looked at the eager expressions on the faces of his two sons and said, "Okay, let's talk to Mr. tomorrow, take a day off, and our family will go to the restaurant to have a look." Chen Wenjun was okay, Chen Wenlin couldn't help cheering.

In fact, the Chen family has always been concerned about the construction of the restaurant. There are a lot of rich people in the south of the Yangtze River, and there are many craftsmen, these craftsmen are built for large families, this time to the county order family to repair the restaurant, the money is enough, and all kinds of materials keep up, plus there is a basic building here, all they have to do is to add it on the original basis, decorate it, so the progress is very fast. Just into the summer, the restaurant was built.

The next day, the Chen family of five came to the restaurant by car and saw that the entrance was a three-story building, and behind the building was a large courtyard, the building itself existed, but the Chen family painted it inside and out, and decorated the interior.

Chen Yuanheng looked at it and said to his two sons, "You can give them a name." Chen Wenjun was thinking, and Chen Wenlin had already said quickly: "It's called Qinghelou." Bai Shi was surprised: "Lin'er, you have grown in knowledge." Chen Wenlin was embarrassed.

Chen Yuanheng also said: "There is more than auspiciousness, and harmony generates wealth, which is good." Chen Wenjun said: "Is it okay to call Zhiyuan Building?" Chen Yuanheng twisted his beard and said: "Quiet and far-reaching, it is very high-ranking hermit." It can be seen that Jun'er has made progress in his studies, well, Lin'er's studies have also improved, and he is better than agility. ”

Chen Wenlin was embarrassed again. Chen Wenjun looked at the embarrassed second brother and said, "Actually, I'm not good, it's better than the second brother." If I have a building at home, it's okay to use this, we are now opening a restaurant, which is vulgar, of course, the second brother's Qinghe Building is easy to understand, and the color is good, suitable for business. ”

Bai was very happy to see the children so friendly, and also said: "Jun'er is right, opening a restaurant to welcome guests from all over the world is naturally good for Qinghe Building." What do you think? ”

Chen Yuanheng said with a smile: "Okay, then use Qinghe Building." Actually, Qinghe Building is really good, and I personally wrote the plaque when I went back. Chen Wenhui was a little anxious: "Okay, father, let's go in and have a look." Chen Yuanheng laughed: "Yes, let's go in and have a look, we can't always stand at the door." ”

After entering, there are many eight-immortal tables in the hall on the first floor, and there are large flower pots placed in the four corners, and bamboo is planted, which looks very elegant. The second floor is a private room.

Each private room is not big, but there are eight immortal tables and four pots of flowers at four corners. There are only four rooms on the third floor, each room is very large, in addition to the table of eight immortals, there is also a piano table, each room has a window, the window hangs a light veil, dancing with the wind, very elegant. After reading the four members of the Chen family, Chen Yuanheng asked his son to name the four rooms on the third floor.

This time, Chen Wenlin was encouraged and preemptively said: "It is called Chunhua Hall, Summer Cool Hall, Autumn Fruit Hall, and Winter Warm Hall." Chen Yuanheng said: "Well, the hall is divided into four seasons, which is good." Chen Wenjun also said: "I take the wind viewing hall, listening to the rain hall, the viewing hall, and the flower viewing hall." “

Chen Yunheng said: "The combination of movement and stillness is better than Lin'er. Chen Wenjun smiled. Chen Wenlin thought for a while: "Ah, the first word is action, and the latter word is scenery, which is indeed better than mine." “

Chen Wenjun said: "Actually, yours is good, the four seasons are distinct, and the talent is quick. “

Chen Wenhui looked at the two brothers happily, thinking to herself, it's really good that the brothers are talented and friendly.

Although these arrangements are all made by Chen Wenhui, they can be arranged so elegantly, which shows that Chen Cai's housekeeper is talented.

Chen Yuanheng said: "It's all very good, it's hard to choose, so let's do it, Lin'er's four names are used in these four private rooms, and Jun'er's four names are used in the four water pavilions in the courtyard, but it's very good." ”

Chen Wenhui had already taken the opportunity to look in the various rooms and nodded with satisfaction, and then said to his father: "Okay, father, since you have even named the name of the Water Pavilion, let's take us to the Water Pavilion to have a look." ”

Chen Yuanheng hurriedly agreed, and took the whole family downstairs to the courtyard. There is a rockery made of stacked stones in the yard, many flowers and trees are planted on the rockery, there are just three stories high, and the sight of the restaurant is blocked.

In this way, from the window of the private room of the restaurant, you can't see the water pavilion in the courtyard, but the delicacy is not bad, because the flowers and trees on the rockery are arranged beautifully.

This not only ensures privacy but also does not affect the view, and the wonderful design of the end. A group of people through the rockery under the stone cave suddenly opened, only to see a zigzag pond, around the pond built four water pavilions, a water of black tiles and white walls, in the middle of each water pavilion or a slender bamboo forest, or a few green sycamores, or a fence full of plants, the water pavilion is isolated.

In this way, each pavilion can see the surface of the water, but it cannot see the adjacent pavilion. The pond is full of lotus flowers, it is only early summer at the moment, and the lotus flowers have not yet bloomed, but they are already full of lotus leaves, but they are also elegant. These are not designed by Chen Wenhui, these are all Chen Yuanheng's handwriting.

It can be seen that Chen Yuanheng still has hills and valleys in his chest.

Everyone entered one of the water pavilions. I saw that three sides were open, and on the left was a wall, and under the wall was a cluster of roses, which was still in bloom at this time, and it was very lively. On the right is a clump of bamboo, and in front of it is a landscape of lotus leaves. Chen Wenhui said: "This water pavilion is good, but it is open on three sides, what can I do if it rains?" ”

Chen Cai pointed to the side and said: "Girl, look at the paper door next to this, there are four paper doors without face, all of which can be disassembled. The paper doors are made of fine paper, and the craftsmen are asked to paint patterns of flowers and birds, or people, or landscapes on them. ”

Chen Wenhui saw it, and if it was true, she couldn't help but admire how elegant these people were. Needless to say, these were also designed by Chen Yuanheng. Chen Wenhui said to her father: "Father, did you design all this?" ”

Chen Yuanheng said with a smile: "Yes, good daughter, do you think it's okay?" Chen Wenhui clapped her hands and said, "Father is really amazing, this place is very beautiful." Next time I'm going to invite my friends over for dinner. ”

Chen Yuanheng said: "It's not good for your daughter's family to eat in a restaurant, but it's okay in this water pavilion, in addition to the side of the wall, there are flowers and trees next to it, so you don't have to worry about being peeped at by outsiders." You say it in advance, and I'll have someone leave you a spot. Chen Wenhui hurriedly agreed.

After speaking, Chen Yuanheng remembered something and said to Chen Cai: "I know that the kitchen of the restaurant is in charge of Yin Hong, but there is still a shopkeeper in front, who do you want to use this well?" ”

Chen Cai hurriedly replied: "I just have a general overview of this restaurant, and all the construction and layout matters are in charge of Chen Qing, the second son of Chen Shan's family. I saw that although he was young, he was quite neat in his work, and he was born in a family, he grew up learning rules in the house, and he had worked with his brother Chen Fu in the department before leaving Beijing. There's nothing to say about picking up people and things. I think it's good for him to be the treasurer. ”

Chen Yuanheng said to the Bai family: "Chen Fu, why is Chen Qing so familiar? Bai said: "They are all the sons of Zheng's mother, and they are our Hui'er's grandmother brothers. ”

Chen Yuanheng nodded and said, "Then him." Since Chen Cai said that it is good, it must be capable, and it is Hui'er's milk brother, so loyalty is no problem. Let him be the big shopkeeper, and take the monthly example of the manager for the first three months, if it is okay after three months, he will follow the monthly example of the shopkeeper twenty taels. ”

Chen Cai hurriedly called Chen Fu to thank his master. The Chen family continued to look at each room. In the middle, Bai pointed out a few more things to improve. Seeing that it was almost noon, I went home. When I got home, I discussed the opening date. I just read it in the book, and the day after tomorrow will be lucky. So he hurriedly ordered Chen Cai to write a post overnight and distribute it to a county official, Fu Shen, and set the opening of the business.
