Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Mansion
"Sir, what do you think of this place?"
Jin Wansan has never left his eyes since he got out of the car, and seeing the satisfied look in his eyes, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, and asked with some please. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Yes, this mansion is relatively well preserved, as long as it is simply repaired, you can move in. ”
Situ couldn't help but nod slightly.
"Master, this place is remote, there are often wild beasts and demon beasts, for the safety of the master, it is best to buy some slaves and miscellaneous servants, and the family guards the courtyard. ”
Jin Wansan saw that Si Tu was satisfied, and suggested with a smile.
"It's nature. ”
Situ Xing smiled slightly and motioned for Jin Wansan to step forward and call the door.
Syllable!
Syllable!
Syllable!
On the red gate, a hideous-looking beast was inlaid with a strange beast's mouth wide open, and a crimson copper ring passed through its mouth.
The base is hollow, the design is very ingenious, the copper ring hits above, like a drumstick falling on the drum surface, the sound is exceptionally crisp, and it is far away in the empty valley mountain forest.
"It's coming, it's coming. ”
After a while, Situ heard a sound of footsteps coming from the courtyard. As the closed door slowly opened, I saw a hunchbacked, wrinkled old man pushing the heavy wooden door open with some difficulty.
"Go and tell the old lady that the buyer is coming. ”
Jin Wansan was very familiar with this old man, without any politeness, and said straight to the point.
"The old lady already knows, you two come with me. ”
The old man looked up at Situ Xing, and saw that his dress and bearing were extraordinary, not like a poor person, so he nodded and said.
Situ Xing nodded slightly, and walked on the bluestone paved path under the leadership of the old man, and a lot of flowers and plants were planted along the way, but it was a little messy because of poor management.
"After the old man passed away, the housemother was just a woman with limited energy, so the yard was not repaired for a long time. ”
The old man saw that Situ Xing Meiyu was a little displeased, and hurriedly explained.
"Yes. ”
Situ Xing nodded lightly in understanding. Jin Wansan looked at the messy grass and trees in the garden and the withered flowers, and secretly calculated in his heart, planning to press the price again.
The winding corridor across the small lake looks particularly quiet and elegant, but because of the lack of popularity, it seems a little deserted and gloomy now.
"This corridor and gazebo are all built with good logs, because the water is the most to cool off, and my lord liked to chant poems here the most during his lifetime. ”
The hunchbacked old man looked at the pavilion with bluestone tables and stone benches, but there was no one there, and said with some sadness.
Situ Xing looked at a pair of wonderful couplets hanging on the Stanley of the pavilion, and couldn't help but read it softly, water can become a sea if it is good, and the mountains do not compete for the sky.
This couplet is obviously from the hand of the owner of the house, and the font is square and round and beautiful, as if the jade that has been played for a long time just gives people a warm feeling.
But he was not pleased with Situ Xing, he felt that the painting was too round, without a trace of edges and corners, and full of twilight.
"Good couplet, good words, although this adult has not met, but if he wants to see his poetry, he must be an indisputable character. ”
After reading and chewing for a while, although he was a little displeased in his heart, he still said with admiration.
"My grandfather had an excellent temperament and was kind to others. Although he stands in the middle of the court, he has never had a grudge against others. ”
The hunchbacked slave felt honored when he saw Situ praising the master of the family, and said with some excitement.
Situ Xing smiled and nodded, but in his heart he didn't think so, from this couplet, it can be seen that this old man is a kind old man with a gentle temperament. Otherwise, after his death, the subordinates will not be so upheld and respected.
However, this old man's personality is suitable for being a virtuous man who lives in seclusion in the mountains and forests, not for standing above the court.
He has always been close to others and does not hold grudges with others, so he does not have his own political views and friends.
Such a person will not do much in the court.
This is also the main reason why he only survived to the eighth-grade squire for decades.
"It's a pity, if there is no outing, living in seclusion in the countryside, this old man may be more comfortable. ”
Situ said secretly in his heart.
After turning the corridor pavilion and passing through another courtyard, Situ Xing and Jin Wansan were taken to the hall. When the people heard the news, they all looked at the two of them with curious eyes. In groups of three or five, or in the shade of the trees, or whispering in the shadows of the corridors.
Situ Xing, who watched it, couldn't help frowning secretly, these subordinates are really useless rules, as the saying goes, no rules are not used.
The fact that the subordinates dared to be so casual has a direct relationship with the management of the master mother.
In his heart, Situ Xing's evaluation of the old woman he had never met was lowered a lot.
The windows of the hall are carved with good pineapple wood with various patterns, and they are painted with a layer of red paint, which looks very high-end.
Although it has experienced wind and rain, it does not look out of shape and rotten at all.
Situ Xing, who was watching, nodded from time to time in his heart, although this old man was in love with the landscape, he really worked this foundation.
As long as it is properly maintained and does not catch fire, there is no problem with this house standing for a hundred years.
The silver-haired old lady was wearing a big red phoenix bird and bird suit, which was a reward given to her by the imperial court, Mrs. Jiupin Command.
She sat on the Taishi chair in the center of the hall with a beast's head cane in her hand, and two maids served on the left and right, and the tea bowl in front of her was bubbling with a faint fragrance.
But her face was not very good, and she looked at the grass and trees in the hall with some nostalgia.
"The later life of Situ has seen the old lady, and I wish the old lady good health. ”
Seeing that the old lady had an edict, Situ Xing didn't dare to be rude, so he stepped forward and said with a smile.
The old lady looked at the heroic and majestic Situ Xing, and her eyes couldn't help but lose her mind. Forty years ago, her grandfather was so generous.
Only those who have read books to the bones can have such spirit.
It's a pity that the lord doesn't like the deception in the court, and pins his heart on the mountains and rivers.
Although there was no big achievement, a good death was also obtained.
This is also a great blessing in misfortune.
The old lady's eyes showed a look of remembrance.
Situ Xing didn't bother, just stood there quietly, and only after about a teacup did the old lady come back to his senses. looked at the standing Situ Execution, and smiled a little embarrassedly.
instructed the maid to bring a chair, served tea, and began to chat with Situ about poetry and articles. Situ is not in a hurry, this old lady is different from ordinary rural village women, and she has a deep knowledge of articles and poems.
There are many points of view that make Si Tu Xing feel refreshing.
The more she chatted, the more surprised the old lady became, this Situ Gongzi is really not simple, not only has a deep attainment in poetry and songs at a young age, but also is a spicy and old way in dealing with the world.
Moreover, what shocked the old lady the most was that Situ Xing seemed to be gentle and elegant, but he was soft and strong, soft and hard, and decisive in killing, just like a peerless sword hidden deep in the scabbard.
On the day it is unsheathed, there will be a river of blood.
If this son does not die young, he will definitely be able to stand tall in the court.
The old lady looked at Situ Xing, who lowered her eyebrows and lowered her eyes, and said secretly in her heart.
