Chapter 86: Rebuilding Sijiabao
"Hmm."
Si Shaoyu responded, then took out a wooden box in the wooden cabinet behind him, opened it and saw that there was a pile of paper with something written inside.
"I went to investigate this valley before, and found that it is surrounded by mountains on three sides, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there is only one road leading to the depths of the valley, and there is a stream passing through it, so there is no need to worry about this water problem."
Si Shaoyu said with one heart and one heart, and then said: "First, this valley is beautiful and suitable for building a manor; Second, the terrain there is dangerous, which is a natural barrier for us to defend against the enemy; Three, this valley is located in the three fortresses of Kangyang County, Liangzhou, Jingzhou, and our dart route will form an intersection there, and it is beneficial and harmless to choose the address there. ”
Si Shaoyu said confidently, a few years ago, he and his eldest brother and second brother were there to severely damage the killer sent by Si Shaodong's waste, and it was really a good place.
"Master, Takami."
Si Ye listened to the master's story with himself, and his mind flowed, and he understood the master's plan.
I have to say that the place chosen by the master is really good.
"Then master, when are we going to rebuild Sijiabao?" Si Ye was very excited in his heart, he knew that the previous master destroyed Sijiabao, and the master had always been haunted.
The reconstruction of Sijiabao is of great significance to the master.
"Don't worry, now, the time and place are favorable, we have both, and the first thing now is to buy the land."
Si Shaoyu knew that if he wanted to buy the valley as the new site of Sijiabao, the silver tael needed was probably huge, but fortunately, he had earned a lot of silver in the past few years, which could just be used as the fund for the reconstruction of Sijiabao.
However, others are soft-spoken, and I am afraid that it will take a lot of effort to buy such a large land at once.
However, the plan is already there, as long as it is implemented step by step according to the goal, I believe that Sijiabao will be rebuilt soon.
"So, Si Ye, you go back and take my token and go and buy it there. How much silver is needed, you can do it. ”
Si Shaoyu handed the jade pendant hanging from his waist to Si Ye.
Si Ye was stunned for a moment, and solemnly took the jade pendant handed to him by his master with both hands.
This jade pendant is not a simple younger brother's ornament, but a token of Sijiabao, only with this thing, can you go to the treasury to get silver taels and so on.
For this token, Si Ye knew about it, so he was very excited in his heart, the master trusted him so much, and handed over such an important thing to him, he secretly swore in his heart that he must complete this matter and live up to the trust and expectations of the master.
"Master, don't worry, your subordinates will definitely handle this matter."
"Well, I believe you, when this matter is done, we will build a manor there, and call it Sijiabao."
Si Shaoyu nodded.
"The subordinates must live up to the expectations of the master." Si Ye nodded solemnly.
"Alright, you'll leave tomorrow." Si Shaoyu waved his hand, his eyes were deep, and he looked at the paper he had just taken out on the table with a serious expression.
These pieces of paper are written on Si Shaoyu's plan to rebuild Sijiabao and the map of the valley.
"Yes." Say, Division
Bow with your fists in the night, exit the study, and go to prepare for tomorrow's luggage.
……
And when Jing Xi was honestly staying in the mansion, a flower viewing party was being held in the imperial garden of the palace, and Xu knew that Jing Xi was detained in the palace to recuperate, but he didn't send a post over.
But it just so happened that Jing Xi was not interested in this kind of banquet, not to mention that he didn't know anyone, so it was just right to go.
Splendid atmosphere, majestic palace, in the imperial garden.
The trees in the garden are verdant, straight, and there are many strange flowers that are not usually seen, and they are rare, and every other way, it is a pavilion to rest. There are strange flowers and plants, pavilions and pavilions, rugged mountain stones, stone paintings as the road, in this imperial garden, there are peculiar trees that bend and twist into a circle, there are also small pavilions for people to rest, there are various statues of strange shapes, and there are also strange shapes of rockeries. The layout of the Royal Garden building is symmetrical but not rigid, stretched but not scattered.
Of course, in the imperial garden, pavilions, corridors, pavilions, everything. Rockery flowing water, strange flowers and plants, full of vitality.
In the Imperial Garden, there is a pavilion almost every short distance, among which Fubi Pavilion and Chengrui Pavilion, Wanchun Pavilion and Qianqiu Pavilion are the most distinctive.
The two pairs of pavilions are arranged symmetrically from east to west, Fubi and Chengrui are square pavilions across the pool, stretching out to hug the building on the south side; Wanchun Pavilion and Qianqiu Pavilion are multi-angle pavilions with a cross-shaped plane on all sides, which implies the traditional concept of "the sky is round and the place is round". The two pavilions are delicate and beautiful, adding a lot of color to the imperial garden.
Every spring and summer, the begonia flowers in the imperial garden will stand in the wind, the flowers are bright and moving, and they are beautiful.
Begonia flowers, since ancient times, are still elegant and vulgar to appreciate the famous flowers, known as the fairy flower concubine in the flower.
It is recorded in the "Qunfang Spectrum": There are four varieties of begonias, all of which are woody. Refers to: Xifu Begonia, Silk Begonia, Papaya Begonia and Sticky Stem Begonia. Begonia flowers bloom delicately and movingly, but the general begonia flowers have no fragrance, only Xifu begonias are fragrant and gorgeous, and they are the top grade in begonias. When its flowers are not opened, the buds are red and bright, like rouge, and after opening, they gradually become pink, like the dawn of the sky. The flowers of Xifu Begonia are larger, with four to seven flowers in clusters upward.
At this time, in the imperial garden, there is a group of people enjoying the flowers.
This is a small flower viewing party held by the noble concubine, which gathers many young ladies from the official family, and of course the only two princesses in the Xia Kingdom, the eldest princess Xiao Meng'er, and the second princess Xiao Ke'er.
At this time, a girl in the crowd was wearing a fiery red dress, thirteen or fourteen years old, wearing a hollow orchid bead hairpin on her head, a white hosta obliquely inserted, and a pair of pearl earrings hanging on her small and lovely earlobes. looks bright and moving, but her lips are slightly upturned, and she is saying something, this person is the eldest princess Xiao Meng'er.
The other was dressed in a goose yellow dress, with a long skirt that swayed to the ground, and the pearls on the dress were unusually dazzling in the sun. There was a shy smile on Chu Chu's pitiful face, his cheeks were flushed, he covered his mouth and chuckled from time to time, his voice was crisp and moving, this person was Meng Xiang, the big and small of the Meng family.
And of course there is also
There is a gorgeously dressed second princess Xiao Keer, who is twelve years old, and she has already begun to show her beauty.
And in the pavilion behind her, there was a beautiful young woman sitting on a soft chair, and behind her, a young girl, pinched her shoulders from time to time to relieve her soreness and exhaustion.
This beautiful young woman is the concubine, and today she specially held such a flower-viewing banquet, and the girl standing behind her was the niece of her own family, named Bailan.
"Lan'er, go ahead, this is a flower viewing party specially organized by my aunt." The concubine put her hand on the back of her niece's hand and patted it gently.
"Yes, Auntie." Hearing this, Bai Lan smiled, stopped pinching her shoulders, bowed softly, and then walked to the middle of the girls.
The concubine watched her niece walk towards the crowd, and she didn't step forward, but let them joke with each other.
This Lan'er is more elegant, if she can marry the emperor...... However, what about this Zhaoning County Lord?
In the heart of the concubine, this niece has put a lot of effort into cultivating, and now she is only fifteen, and she is one of the best talented women in the capital, and she originally wanted the emperor to marry her as a concubine, but now it seems that the weight of the Rongwang Mansion is heavier, forget it, go back and discuss it with the emperor, and see what the emperor means.
That's right, the concubine regarded Bai Lan as her daughter-in-law very early, and she was her niece, of course, she helped more.
Of course, she also hit Jing Xi's idea, if Jing Xi knew, it would be unbelievable, but she wouldn't take it seriously.
This Bailan is dressed in pink, about fifteen years old, with a green silk hanging behind her, and a few unusually eye-catching hairpins pinned to her head, which is the headdress that the concubine gave her casually, and this headdress allows her to occupy the elegance, and there is another person who secretly hates, that person is Meng Xiang.
Meng Xiang is the niece of Concubine De's family, and Bai Lan is the niece of the concubine's family, and outsiders seem to have equal status, but only Meng Xiang knows that her current scenery is just that she has spent many years to create the name of the White Lotus Fairy, and the family treats her better, just because she still has the value of marriage.
If one day, she doesn't have these advantages, then the Meng family will abandon her like a shoe.
She knows that.
But Bai Lan is different, the Bai family treats her very well, even if the Bai family has many sisters, but Bai Lan is still favored in the Bai family, even the concubine treats her very well, and from time to time rewards her with some precious jewelry.
And herself, everything good has to be obtained by taking her stupid cousin, how can she not be jealous?
And today, it is said that she is participating in this flower viewing party, but it is better to say that the concubine is supporting her in Bailan and making connections.
"Cousin, it's your turn." A voice broke her contemplation, and Meng Xiang saw that everyone's eyes were on her, and then pretended to be calm and glanced at her cousin Xiao Meng'er.
Sure enough, when Xiao Meng'er saw this, she immediately whispered in her ear: "Cousin, it's your turn to compose poems." ”
Seeing this, Meng Xiang took a step forward, and Ying Ying smiled and said, "Sisters, Rong Xiang'er thinks about it." ”
It turned out that these ladies were composing poems, which is a common occurrence at flower viewing parties
See the program, the begonia flowers in the imperial garden are blooming brightly today, and now it is the turn of the person to write a poem for the begonia flowers in a stick of incense.
Meng Xiang walked in front of the begonia flower, lowered his eyes and pondered, for a while, his eyes suddenly lit up, and then said:
"What's wrong with the begonia? Today's flowers are blooming at the bottom?
It should be the North Hall Longevity Test, and a Yang Xuan will regain the first plum. ”
"Okay, Miss Meng is worthy of being a famous talented woman in the capital, this poem is really good." One of them, dressed in a long green dress, complimented.
"Miss Meng is really talented."
"Yes, good poetry, good poetry!"
When the surrounding ladies heard Meng Xiang's poem, they tasted it carefully and praised it without hesitation.
Meng Xiangying, who was praised, smiled, and then said softly: "Sisters, Meng Xiang is ugly." ”
Bang Bang Bang!
There was a burst of applause behind them, it turned out that it was the concubine Niangniang who was in the pavilion just now, and she had already stood behind them at some point, and when she heard the poem written by Meng Xiang, she applauded lightly and exclaimed: "Miss Meng is worthy of being a talented woman in the capital, she is really talented!" ”
"The mother has won the prize." Meng Xiang blessed his body and saluted the concubine.
