Chapter 320: Arriving at the Bamboo Garden
In the past two years, Lin Zhu has also accumulated a lot of wealth, and the special rice seeds alone have brought her no less than two million taels of income every year.
That's a very eye-popping figure, not to mention the income from Chuki sake and various other farms.
That's why she completed the construction of the bamboo garden within two years.
Because of the abundant funds, Lin Zhu, who originally only wanted to have a private courtyard, had a resort villa. Lin Zhu secretly called this bamboo garden that was built into a group of villas by Old Man Du in his heart.
At first, it was only more than 200 acres of Zhuangzi, which was not very eye-catching, but in the past two years, the surrounding fields have been continuously bought, but it has successively developed into a place to build houses, plant flowers and trees, and gradually become a topic of conversation among the surrounding people.
As a farmer who farms for a living, it is always a pity that the field is 'wasted' like this, but Zhao Da, as the steward here, handles the relationship with the surrounding villagers very well.
The construction of the bamboo garden requires a large number of manpower, and some of the work that focuses on skills is very skillful, Zhao Da invited special people to do it, but a lot of work is still those manual work, so Zhao Da discussed with the village chief of the surrounding villages, and asked him to help find some people who are willing to work hard to come to Zhuangzi to help, and the salary will not be less.
In this way, the people around also get the benefits, after all, the countrymen are willing to work hard, as long as they do a good job, not only are the wages never in arrears, but they are not less than those given in the county, and there are two meals a day here, and the meals are full, which is a major event that solves many poor families.
So as the owner of the bamboo garden, Lin Zhu has not yet appeared here. has become a great benevolent person in the hearts of many people.
It is precisely because of this that the construction of the bamboo garden was completed in just two years, and it has become the current 'courtyard' with green trees, birds and flowers, and a novel and unique garden.
Just when the bamboo garden was built and people were speculating about what kind of person the owner here was, Lin Zhu and the others' brigade of people and horses, more than 20 carriages huhula, opened a long line. Drove over.
The procession was spectacular. At least it is rare in the surrounding areas of Song County. Not to mention the guards who rode tall horses and followed around the carriage. Such a group of people actually entered the bamboo garden, which attracted widespread attention.
The outer perimeter of the bamboo garden is a fence made of green bamboo, and you can clearly see the lawn, trees, and flowers in the bamboo garden from the outside. And the looming roofs of the houses.
What is the looming of the word? That's because. There is still a distance of about five or six hundred meters from the outer gate to the real courtyard gate.
In addition, there are many trees interspersed in between. Lush. You can't see the main entrance at all, only the roof of the house that is built according to the situation.
"Wow, sister. Your home is so big! Lin Yuewei got out of the car, and under the guidance of others, he poked his head out of the carriage, looked at the direction of the courtyard, and couldn't help but open his mouth wide.
"Of course, 'my' sister is the best." Fu Douer was a little unhappy about Lin Yuewei's behavior of seizing Lin Zhu as her sister, and she always quarreled with Lin Yuewei along the way, and always showed her ownership.
And Lin Yuewei is not a vegetarian, he argues with Fu Douer from time to time, one is eight years old, the other is six years old, don't look small, and he talks in a set. Lin Zhu couldn't help it, but fortunately, the two of them quarreled for a while, and they knew that they would take a break and reconcile again, so Lin Zhu had to let it go.
Zhao Da is now the chief steward of Zhuyuan, and he has already led people to wait at the door.
"The two masters have worked hard all the way, and the girl has worked hard." Zhao Da stepped forward to salute and instructed people to take all the carriages into the garden.
"Uncle Zhao." After sitting in the carriage for too long, Lin Zhu felt that her whole body was stiff, so she got out of the carriage and moved her body.
"Girl, everything in the bamboo garden has been prepared according to your requirements." Zhao Da stood not far from Lin Zhu.
"Uncle Zhao has worked hard." Lin Zhu nodded, and motioned for Zhao Da to lead the way towards the main entrance.
A few small ones also got off the carriage, all fascinated by the surrounding scenery.
The weather in May was just right, not too hot, although it was not yet time to wear summer clothes, but the clothes on their bodies were not thick, and after getting out of the carriage, they ran around with Lin Zhu's left and right like a happy child.
"Be careful." After instructing, Lin Zhu didn't pay attention to them, anyway, there were people watching, and besides, except for the main road is a stone road, all the other places are lawns, even if you accidentally fall, it won't hurt too much.
Lin Zhu walked forward while listening to Zhao Da's report. And General Chang, Dr. Zhang and others also got down from the carriage one after another.
Looking at the surrounding scenery, smelling the fragrance of flowers, and the gentle breeze, it makes people feel very comfortable, and of course a few people can't sit still.
Even Zhang Manyun and Dong Yuzhen got off the carriage with the help of the maid and walked slowly on the stone road. The verdant green trees, the blooming flowers, and even the lawn on the ground made them feel so happy and at ease.
The countryside is sparsely populated, and the air is particularly fresh. It made everyone feel a lot more relaxed.
"Why did you come down?" After listening to Zhao Da's report, Lin Zhu turned around and saw that the carriage behind him was all gone, and the people who came together were divided into four teams, each doing their own thing.
General Chang, Doctor Zhang, and Mr. Du were walking on the lawn, pointing and looking around, while discussing.
On the other side, Du Bin and Dong Wenbo looked like students, judging a tree and a flower from time to time.
Zhang Manyun and Dong Yuzhen were much quieter, just looking around curiously, paying attention to the movements of a few children from time to time.
Fu Douer and Lin Yuewei, together with Feng Rongxuan and Haizi, all ran to the front of Lin Zhu.
Fortunately, the distance of five or six hundred meters was not very far, and it didn't take long for everyone to arrive.
"Grandpa, there's still some road ahead, let's all get into the carriage." Lin Zhu said to General Chang and the others.
At the main entrance where they were, a very magnificent gate was built, with blue bricks and red tiles, and a vermilion gate, with a plaque on the door, and two vigorous and powerful characters in the bamboo garden, which were General Chang's ink treasures.
Although General Chang is a military attaché, he writes a good hand, the pen is strong and powerful, the pen is strong, and the words he writes are very atmospheric.
"Well, well, this gate is well built." General Chang stroked his beard, nodded and smiled.
"Hmph, where are you looking at the gate?" Old Man Du snorted lightly, "I want to show off what you wrote." He said very knowingly. In fact, Mr. Du was very jealous, when the main body of the bamboo garden was almost built, because he was very satisfied with this place, Mr. Du wanted to leave his own words.
But before he could mention it to Lin Zhu, General Chang's door plaque arrived, and it was Lin Zhu who was told after he was sent it. Lin Zhu didn't agree to this request of the elders, so Old Man Du felt that he was too late to start, so he let General Chang pick up the cheap, so he was depressed for a while.
"Hehe, Brother Chang's words are indeed a rare treasure, Brother Du don't be angry, wait a while you pick the yard, you can write the plaque on the courtyard gate." Doctor Zhang looked at his childishness funny and persuaded him a little.
The matter between the adults should be resolved by themselves, Lin Zhu had no choice but to ignore the small dispute between the three old children.
There is a side door next to the main entrance, which is not small, and it was specially built to allow the carriage to enter and exit freely.
After Lin Zhu entered from the main entrance, he beckoned everyone to get into the car.
The situation inside the main entrance also surprised everyone. Not to mention the courtyard that is still far away, just the trees planted on both sides of the road, and the small bridges and flowing water that have turned a few bays in the entire courtyard, as well as the purple and red clusters of flowers. Although there is no embellishment of rockery and other things, there is less of some magnificent atmosphere, but it is delicate and meticulous everywhere.
Look carefully, several small bridges carved railings and columns, in the gurgling water has a special meaning. The carefully trimmed trees are neatly arranged in the courtyard.
From both sides of the road, you can see small courtyards hidden among the green trees.
It seems to be small, but it also has three main rooms and two wings. But in the end, everyone didn't stop seeing the courtyard. Although I don't know what Lin Zhu intends to do with them. But it seems that everyone will not be placed here.
Moreover, it seems that the room of the subordinate is not here, because after passing through several courtyards, there is still a long way ahead. When General Chang and the others saw the more elaborate courtyards built in front of them, they understood that the residence of themselves and the others should be here.
Today, I bought a stone ruthlessly and was struggling...... (To be continued......)
