Chapter 408: Divide the Soup

There are several different gardens in this house, and entering from the main entrance is not an ordinary shadow wall. Instead, it is made up of a group of rockeries, three meters high and five meters long, which looks magnificent.

There is a winding path on the left side of the rockery, and there are pine, peach, and plum trees planted on both sides. In front of you, you can see the side door of the courtyard, and there are some bamboos planted inside and outside the courtyard.

Ziyan pointed to this courtyard and introduced to Dong Xiaoman and the others: "This is called Anzhi Tinglan, there is no main gate, only a side door that opens next to it. ”

Dong Xiaoman and the others went in, only to see a few peach blossom trees planted inside, and bypassed the peach blossom trees to the main house. The main room is a spacious room that has never been partitioned, and there is a guqin on a long table facing the door. There is an incense table on the wall, and incense is lit in the incense burner. There are two round tables on each side, each with four round stools. On the walls on both sides, there are pictures of ladies, and on the tables next to the wall are a row of all kinds of pianos, pipas and other things.

Needless to introduce, this Anzhi Tinglan must be Wenyin Pavilion.

Leaving this courtyard, there is a natural high slope. The slope is covered with pavilions, and below is many winding corridors.

Jin inlaid jade is well-informed, attached to Dong Xiaoman's ear and whispered: "This high slope is fake, there must be a cellar below that stores wine and ice." Dong Xiaoman nodded knowingly, and continued to walk forward with everyone.

After this so-called cup, there is an artificial lake with living water behind it. There were two or three delicate boats on the shores of the lake, and in the distance there was a very fine boat.

Ziyan didn't take everyone on the boat, but continued to walk in the east. Not far from the water's edge there is another courtyard, which is named Sichuan pepper.

Entered the courtyard. There are three main rooms of the same type. There are two wings on the left and right in the back. There are two large water tanks in the yard. There are goldfish in the tank.

When I entered the room, there was a two-meter-long desk facing the door. There are pens of various colors on the desk, and various pen holders and drawing tubes are placed on the table at the back. There are various calligraphy and paintings on the walls of the whole room, and there are tables of different sizes in other parts of the room for painting and calligraphy.

The white fox grabbed the purple smoke and asked familiarly: "This is a book and a painting, why is it called peppercorns?" ”

Ziyan shook his head: "The original name of this courtyard was Huajiao, and the name has not been changed yet. ”

Dong Xiaoman, who was walking behind, shrugged his shoulders at the gold inlaid jade, this purple smoke man didn't talk much. It's as if it doesn't exist at all. What to ask and what to answer, I can't interrogate anything else. It can be seen that the master of the Tanglin family is still very means.

Coming out of this courtyard, the people walked for a while to the end of the lake. There was a two-story courtyard over there, and Ziyan stood at the door of the courtyard and didn't let them in.

"This courtyard is the canteen, which is divided into eighteen rooms on two floors. Now there is no preparation, just waiting for Mrs. Zhao's meaning. ”

After speaking, he didn't wait for everyone's reply, and he probably couldn't bear their various inquiries, so he strode forward, leaving three people who were dumbfounded.

After coming out of the unnamed dining hall here, there is a very interesting back door of this house.

I don't know what the rich businessmen in Jiangnan think, the back door is covered magnificently, not only three meters high. He also built a corner tower on it.

After passing the gate, I walked to the northwest corner of this courtyard. It is also a two-story courtyard. The difference. This courtyard is a theater garden. The upstairs is for singing, and the downstairs is for listening, and it was also purchased from a wealthy merchant in the past. I heard that when the times were good, this family also raised two troupes.

Walking back from the edge of the lake, the first courtyard turned out to be a hermitage.

This nunnery is called Manning-an, and the owner of it is a woman who leads the practice. Usually the road has never been paved, and when the Tanglin family bought it, they had such an opinion. The woman is said to be almost 50 years old this year, and she has four laymen by her side.

After passing Manning-an, there is a small bridge in front of you. In front of the bridge is an open space with a delicate table. There are all kinds of things on the table, such as colorful shuttlecocks, baisuo and other things. On the opposite side of the table are two swings, which appear to be places for the ladies to play.

There is a courtyard on the left, and the back door is open, but the path in front of the door is piled up with rocks, which is very difficult to walk.

Walking into the courtyard, there is a cave, and you are greeted by a lush bamboo forest. Go around a side room to get to the main room.

The main house is no different from ordinary people's houses, and it seems to be a guest room for female dependents.

On the opposite side of the bamboo house, you can see a fence wall, and when you push the door open, there are small vegetables neatly planted inside. This guest room actually has the meaning of a farmhouse in later generations, and Dong Xiaoman feels very interesting when he looks at it.

Further on, there are still two yards, one with a rockery and the other with a variety of precious flowers. There is a large courtyard in front of these two rooms, and the courtyard gate is a large block higher than the courtyard gate next to it.

It should be the former main courtyard, and the decoration in the courtyard is extremely luxurious. Dong Xiaoman walked in and couldn't help laughing.

I originally thought it was a first-class guest room here, but I didn't expect that there are all kinds of ready-to-wear and matching accessories here, as well as all kinds of makeup gadgets for women's homes.

"This is what I want them to prepare, if I say second in this dress, no one dares to rank first in this Pingliang City." Jin Zhuyu picked up a gold stick and fiddled with it in the mirror. Reluctantly put it down, turned back to Dong Xiaoman and smiled: "I heard that your family used to do jewelry business, and you have a lot of good things in your hands." It's better to take this opportunity and make a lot of money. ”

Dong Xiaoman hesitated for a moment, and said a little unnaturally: "I have already given Huanhuan those jewelry in our family." If she likes to toss with you, let her make up her mind. ”

Jin Zhuyu thought that Dong Xiaoman didn't mean this, so he said with a sneer: "Then let's talk about it later." ”

People don't mean that, so why bother with a hot face and a cold ass.

Dong Xiaoman saw that Jin Jianyu had misunderstood, so he reluctantly stepped forward and pulled her arm and explained: "You coax me to coax you?" You haven't started teaching my girl yet, and when you do, you'll know how much she has an idea. What I gave her, I can't come back and make a plan for her. If she has that mind, anyway, make money to press her to the bottom of the box, I have no opinion. ”

After hearing this, Jin Zhuyu muttered without a temper: "I have never seen such a habitual child as you!" ”

This house is finished at this point, Ziyan called the little maid to pour tea, and a few people rested in this courtyard. Dong Xiaoman asked Ziyan with some curiosity: "There are pianos, books, and paintings in the courtyard, why don't there be chess?" ”

Ziyan didn't shake his head this time, and replied honestly: "There is a courtyard in the east that is empty, and there is indeed a chess room according to Mrs. Zhao's wishes." It's a pity that we haven't found a suitable master now, so we still haven't taken the ladies to see it. ”

Dong Xiaoman knew that the manpower problem in the courtyard of Ludao was to choose the people by himself, and then send them to the Tanglin family for training, and then send them to the courtyard. In this big Pingliang City, isn't there a master who is good at chess?

Seeing Dong Xiaoman's doubts, Jin Zhuyu coughed embarrassedly: "I didn't tell you about this, I can't complain that Miss Ziyan is not doing well." ”

It turned out that there were two masters in each courtyard of qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, one male and one female. The men are all handsome and graceful men in the wind.

"This handsome man who can play chess found it, but unfortunately his net worth was not innocent enough and he was dismissed by the Tanglin family. As for the woman, I haven't found it yet! Jin Zhuyu smiled embarrassedly, and there was a rare hint of red on his face.

"Isn't this a place dedicated to female guests, how can there be handsome men?" The white fox didn't understand it very much, and his temper surged up against the fire.

"You don't understand that, do you?" Jin Jiyu smiled mysteriously and asked provocatively: "Let me ask you, men can eat and drink spicy food and look for beauties everywhere." If one day, there is a young and strong, handsome and talented beautiful man......"

Jin Jianyu paused, looked at the white fox with no intention and whispered: "He appeared in your life, treated you gently and politely, and admired you like a fairy, what would you be in your mood?" Don't tell me you don't empathize with me! ”

Dong Xiaoman didn't know what kind of expression the white fox was, and now she really began to worship the gold and jade. She is, she has the meaning of opening a cow herd shop.

"Both men and women like to have feelings. Women, naturally, don't steal fish outside. But if there is a man here that makes her admire, or a man who makes her happy, does the money flow in with a bang? ”

Jin Zhuyu sneered: "There are many versatile women in this world, and I have more than a dozen in my hands." But if they come in, they will play and sing to these noble ladies all day long. Looking at this group of vixens competing for favor with their own men, do you think anyone will be willing to come? ”

Dong Xiaoman wanted to clap his hands at the moment, if he had known her earlier, would the two of them be able to earn back a big gold mountain!

The progress is going smoothly here, and Dong Xiaoman has new troubles over there.

Huifang's sister-in-law, Zhou, saw that Huifang refused to help her. actually brought his mother-in-law to find Dong Xiaoman, and I don't know where Lu Dao heard the news. I have to do my part in this business.

"We're not rich, but we're clean and clean. Since my grandmother can do business with those people, our relatives are not a problem. Mother, don't worry. You say yes, grandma! Zhou's mouth opened and closed, and he didn't give Dong Xiaoman any reason to refute.

Dong Xiaoman looked at their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law singing double reeds with a smile, thinking in his heart that it was time to knock on the Xu family, which had no rules, it seems that the strength last time was still not enough! (To be continued......)
