H2> got out of the car, Xu Yuelin held Chen Hua's arm and looked at the picture in front of her with some stunnedness, "Have we crossed over?" ”

In front of you is not the usual high-rise buildings, but a green mountain, the mountain is not high, and there is a continuous trend behind it. The trees on the mountain are lush and green, and an ancient mansion can be seen on the mountainside, with green tiles and white walls.

"This is our ancestral home." Gu Jingzhou explained, "Because the elders in the family don't like the noisy environment, our family lives in the ancestral house. ”

"Ancestral Mansion!" Xu Yuelin and Chen Hua glanced at each other, they also have ancestral houses, but the former is a blue brick house in the countryside, which was later developed and bulldozed...... As for the latter, that is, the courtyard houses in the alleys, it is not enough to see compared with others!

"Do you want to walk up or take the car?" Gu Jingzhou asked. Since the accommodation is halfway up the mountain, there are two paths to walk, one for vehicles, and the other for walking up the hill by spiraling, and the other up the steps from the bottom of the mountain.

"Walk!" "Let's go!" Several people agreed that in the face of such a good scenery, it is natural to appreciate it slowly.

At the foot of the mountain, there is a distance from the main road, so a few people walk on the path between the lotus ponds and slowly walk to the foot of the mountain.

It's already May, coupled with global warming, the lotus leaves in the lotus pond are almost propped up, but they haven't been stretched out yet, and they are half rolled, and they also have a certain style.

"I feel that there are more lotus flowers in this river than in West Lake!" Xu Yuelin and Chen Hua discussed, "The lotus flowers in the West Lake are some of the wind lotus in the Quyuan, and they are gone after a few steps. This lotus pond is lined with patches, and it must be very beautiful when the lotus flowers bloom in summer. ”

Cheng Chu in the back joked after hearing this: "It's a pity that it's not the right time, if you catch up with the late autumn, maybe you can resist a bag of lotus roots and go back." ”

"I'll have someone send it to you when the time comes."

"I'm just waiting for you to say that. By the way, don't send the lotus heart tea, you sent some last year, and my old man likes to drink it, so he forced me to drink it, and almost didn't kill me. Don't give it away this year, I beg you! ”

"How can that work! The lotus heart is clear and the eyes are clear, and the bitter medicine is good, so I have to send you some more this year. ”

“…… So what, can I ask? Xu Yuelin opened her mouth weakly, "No, the lotus ponds and fields around here belong to your family...... "Otherwise, why would the things in it be sent away?"

"You've finally found out?" Cheng Chu touched Xu Yuelin's hair, "What you see now is all, don't doubt it, people are like this." ”

"This is the ancestral sacrificial field." Gu Jingzhou saw that they looked at him with the look of defeating the local tyrant, and couldn't help but be helpless, "Together with these mountains, they were all bought by the ancestors, we can only say that we have sprouted the shade of the ancestors." ”

"Could it be that this is the legendary focus on buying land for a hundred years?"

“……”

Since they knew that the fertile fields at the foot of the mountain belonged to the Gu family, several people were also mentally prepared. However, when I walked up the verdant stone slab, I was slightly shocked when I looked at the trees on both sides.

Judging from the age of these trees, it is not possible to grow like this in a short period of time, and the old-fashioned houses on the mountainside are ...... The Gu family's ancestors had to buy these places for more than a hundred years......

The most important thing is that people also said that it was a sacrificial field!

What is Matsuda? Generally, after the development of large families in ancient times, they would buy land in their hometowns or places with abundant products, as a retreat after the decline of the family.

Xu Yuelin burst into tears, with that little ability, when would she be able to push Gu Jingzhou down!

But when she finally climbed up the mountainside and walked into the Gu family's mansion, she found that she was crying early.

The old house in front of you has been properly repaired, and it is the same as before, and the blue bricks under your feet are carved with a uniform pattern, and if you are careful, you can see that the tiles on the walls and eaves are carved on them.

Bypassing the shadow wall and entering the second gate, there are people waiting for them.

"Young master, the master said to let people take guests to the main house." Gu Jingzhou's eyes were a little surprised, he originally wanted to take people directly to his courtyard. I didn't know what the old man was thinking, so he had to take a few people to the left.

On the left is a corridor through the hall, and a lot of flowers and trees are planted on both sides, and the top of the head is a layer of rattan plants, densely blocking all the sunlight, and occasionally hanging down, which is very meaningful.

After passing through the hall and entering another door, the eyes suddenly opened up. Facing you is a cross road paved with green bricks, and some cypress and ironwood are planted on both sides. In the end, there are five main houses in the corridor, and it seems to be the main hall for hospitality.

Xu Yuelin's eyes have special abilities, and through these house buildings, she feels that there is light everywhere, but some are weak and some are strong. For example, in the main hall in front of me, I was a little blind.

As soon as she entered the house, before Xu Yuelin had time to take a look inside, she heard someone laugh and say, "It's here!" ”

"Grandpa! Grandpa Wang! Mother! Gu Jingzhou greeted the elders, turned around and introduced a few people one by one.

"It turns out that you are Chen Qing's grandchildren! Not bad! Gu Mingquan touched his beard and glanced at Chen Ya a few more times. He used to be a person in the military affairs system, not a person from the same system as Chen Qing, he only knew about Chen Qing, but he had never been in contact with him. Later, after retiring, he lived a semi-secluded life, and he had no contact with people. Now that I see his grandson, I feel that the Chen family will also have successors in the future, so I might as well get in touch with him more.

After looking at the Chen brothers and sisters, and then looking at Gu Duan and Xu Yuelin in the back, Gu Mingquan also nodded secretly.

He is so old, and he has met a lot of people, so he is still relatively accurate in looking at people. These young people have their own characteristics, most of them act calmly and in a measured manner, plus their eyebrows and eyes are open and comfortable, they are not like treacherous people, and they are all worth befriending.

Compared with her father-in-law's look-at-you, the beautiful woman pays more attention to the two girls. Seeing that the two of them were down-to-earth and generous, the beautiful woman couldn't help but like it, but then she was a little worried, and she didn't know if any of these two people had a son in her interest. I think I'm asking, I understand my son's personality, and I guess I can't ask. Having made up her mind, the beautiful woman had to take a good look at it herself in the past few days.

After meeting the elders, Gu Jingzhou took them out. The two old men left behind were more energetic.

"How? Which do you prefer? Gu Mingquan asked his old friend.

Wang Jian snorted, "Did I say you're happy early?" People are here to be guests, what are you doing blindly? But I think the taller one is more compatible with Xiaozhou, but I don't know if two people call or not. ”

At this time, Gu Jingzhou had already taken them to his courtyard.

Xu Yuelin and Chen Hua are no longer able to complain, they are in a room at home, and they are in a courtyard, this gap ...... Hehe!

"The rooms here are all cleaned up, and the girls give priority to the room!"

Seeing that the boys were so personable, the two girls were not polite, and after taking a look, they chose a small pavilion by the lotus pond.

Because there is a lotus pond at the back of the courtyard that connects to the outside of the wall, this room is erected directly on the edge of the lotus pond. The floor-to-ceiling windows that are hollowed out against the wall of the lotus pond have roller blinds on them, and when they are sunny, they roll up and you can see the lotus flowers in the pond when you get up. Especially on summer nights, the breeze is gusting and the room is full of lotus fragrance.

After Gu Jingzhou took them to see the room, Chen Hua and Xu Yuelin ran into the back room and rolled vigorously on the bed.

"Wow! I love this room so much! ”

"I'd love to have a room like this!"

After rolling a few laps, Xu Yuelin suddenly stopped, turned over the quilt and lifted it to take a look, and saw that the bed below was not the same as the modern bed, this one was more like an ancient couch, with carved flowers on the edge. The quilt on top is also very soft and silky, I don't know what material and fabric it is. As for the pattern on the quilt, it is even better, the needlework is smooth and dense, and it is very exquisite.

Looking up at the furnishings of the room, in addition to the piano table on the side of the floor-to-ceiling window, and then the ink landscape painting screen used to separate the line of sight, and the stilted flower shelf with flowers in the corner.

got up and walked to the flower shelf to pick up the blue and white porcelain beauty Hu and took a look, Xu Yuelin saw a line of small characters written on it: "Kangxi Year of the Qing Dynasty".

"I'll go, antique!" Chen Hua also came over here, "Is it from the Kangxi period?" What should I do if I suddenly want to escape with me! ”

Xu Yuelin gestured, "It's too big to fit." ”

“…… Ahem. Cheng Chu, who walked in from behind, heard their conversation, and couldn't help laughing and scolding, "You guys are just like that!" ”

When the two of them saw it, they couldn't help but blush, "Everyone is responsible for defeating the local tyrants." ”

"No, while the main master is not here now, can you tell me who is the boss of their family? This posture doesn't look like an ordinary high-ranking official at all! Xu Yuelin hugged the beauty and pulled Cheng Chu to sit down on the bed, looking like a curious baby.

"That's it!" Chen Hua also opened his mouth, "In the past, I thought our family was in a good situation, but today, compared with others, it is simply a heaven and an underground." I've wanted to ask you this question since I got off the bus today. Wasn't it the Cultural Revolution, so many monuments were smashed, how could it be so well preserved here? ”

The reason why I came here was to remind the two of them to be careful, after all, there were other people living in this house.

After a deep sigh, Cheng Chu opened his mouth selectively, "Do you believe that we still have nobles in modern times?" ”

"......" The two girls looked at each other.

"Actually, I don't know exactly what I know. But along the way, you should also see that the trees along the road and the house are not modern things. And the style of the house, some are elements of the Qing Dynasty, but some are from earlier, such as the couch we sit on. Therefore, at least before the Qing Dynasty, this house was already in existence. ”R1152
