Chapter 167: Gu Family Manor
Yang Shaoling had a hard time coming out, looking at everything in Luobei Port, he felt very surprised, walking along the spacious and flat street, the guards and a few carriages followed, and followed suit.
Zhou Qingwen said: "Son, why do you have to come to Luobei Port, I want to see Gu Bei, and let people find him." ”
Yang Shaoling was in a good mood today, and he also knew that Zhou Qingwen cared about him, so he took a look and said with a smile: "It's hard for me to come out once, so I should take a break." ”
"If Gu Bei hadn't been in Luobei Port, wouldn't His Highness have run for nothing!"
Yang Shaoling laughed twice, stopped talking, and looked at the scenery as he walked.
Everything in Luobeigang subverted his cognition, although he didn't know whether it was good or bad, he must be very satisfied when he saw the heartfelt smiles on the faces of the people around him!
When he rode down the mountain road and ran in front of Yang Shaoling and Gu Bei, the knight immediately paid a little attention, but did not stop, intending to cross directly.
Zhou Qingwen knew His Highness's plan, and when he saw the knight dressed, he asked people to stop the knight.
"Is your uncle here?"
He and His Highness came this time, and he didn't communicate with Gu Bei in advance, which was a surprise attack, if Gu Bei wasn't in Luobei Port, it wouldn't be good, would it be okay for His Highness to run for nothing?
A pair of knights had no choice but to restrain their horses, and seeing that this group of people were gorgeously dressed and extraordinary, they did not dare to be careless, so they bowed to one person who jumped out of the carriage and said: "Someone just came to report, and someone made trouble at the dock, so I went to take a look." As for a certain uncle...... I guess it's fishing! ”
"Fishing?"
Zhou Qingwen pouted, he was really interested......
Think about it, every day is making money, there are experts in taking care of the business, and it is boring to change him.
Yang Shaoling asked with a smile: "There are still people who dare to make trouble at the dock, and they are not afraid of being driven out of Luobei Port by your uncle?" ”
The knight smiled and said, "There are always a few people who don't open their eyes...... The two of you walked straight along the street, turning left, where there is a big mountain, there is a stream under the mountain, my uncle is probably fishing there, please!"
With that, he arched his hand, turned over and jumped on his horse, and roared away with the knights.
Yang Shaoling rarely exercised in the end, and after only walking for a while, he was a little out of breath and sweaty on his forehead.
Zhou Qingwen wanted to call the carriage over, but was stopped by Yang Shaoling.
"Hehe, I really lack exercise, I only walked a few steps, and I was out of breath."
With a self-deprecating smile, Yang Shaoling pursed his lips and continued to walk with difficulty.
Zhou Qingwen was stunned, feeling that something was not quite right with His Highness's mood today......
At the foot of the mountain is a small stream, and the clear water flows slowly.
On the Guhuang grass by the stream, a person was crooked on a flat and smooth boulder, drowsy. A boom stretched diagonally into the stream, and I wonder if the bait on the hook had been eaten by the fish......
Yang Shaoling looked at this picture and suddenly felt a little jealous.
The stream rushes merrily, the waves chase and rattle, stirring up snow-like foam.
It was in this crisp autumn weather that Gu Bei fell asleep and didn't know where the world was......
Yang Shaoling's exhaustion along the way was emptied by the clear stream, and his mind was washed away, and he was quite relaxed.
Stopping the guards behind him to wake up Gu Bei, Yang Shaoling paced to the side of the stream, leaned over and looked at the clear stream, sure enough, the hook was empty, and the bait had already been taken away by the fish.
Gu Bei was alarmed by the footsteps beside him and woke up leisurely.
Squinting slightly, adapting to the already somewhat dazzling sunlight, he looked at the long-standing young man beside him.
This person is as old as 20 years old, with clear eyebrows and a straight nose, a purple and gold crown with a bundle of hair and inlaid treasures on his head, a long gown painted with gold and stone blue flowers and brocade, a long spike of colorful silk and a long tassel of flowers, and a small pair of green forging foundation boots.
"Uh......"
Who is this? The handsome one is going to bubble, and it looks a little familiar......
Turning his neck, he saw Zhou Qingwen, who was releasing the fish he had caught before going to bed in the fish basket not far away, and he suddenly woke up and shouted, "Stop!"
Zhou Qingwen saw that Gu Bei was sleeping lazy, and he was extremely unhappy in his heart, this is too happy! Seeing the fish basket placed on the side, the evil taste suddenly rose, and he quietly picked up the fish basket, and on the pebbles by the stream, turned the fish basket upside down, and poured two or three catfish into the stream.
This scene happened to be seen by Gu Bei, and this loud shout scared Zhou Qingwen into a tremble, his feet slipped, and the pebbles on which he stood suddenly became unstable, and he fell into the stream......
Fortunately, the stream is not deep, and the general will have no waist, but he is soaked, choking on a few mouthfuls of cold water, and he is embarrassed.
Gu Bei got up, ran over and picked up the fish basket that had fallen on the shore, and it was empty, and there was not a single fish ......
immediately became angry, threw the fish basket towards Zhou Qingwen, and scolded: "Your uncle! Is it easy for Lao Tzu to catch two fish? Yes! ”
Zhou Qingwen avoided the fish basket, stepped on the stones at the bottom of the stream under his feet, one was unstable, sat in the stream, almost choked, got up in embarrassment, pulled his neck and shouted: "You want to drown me!" ”
Gu Bei was so angry that he wanted to catch a few catfish to make a boiled catfish for the lady to eat, but it took a morning of hard work, but he only caught two palms long, but he was released by Zhou Qingwen......
The more Gu Bei thought about it, the more angry he became, and when he saw that Zhou Qingwen actually dared to stand in the stream and shout, and then thought of the bitter and mean face every time he touched this thing, he suddenly became angry, picked up the fishing rod, waved it and pulled it over Zhou Qingwen's head.
Zhou Qingwen stood in the stream, couldn't dodge, and was whipped on the head by the fishing rod, "Wow" screamed, almost fainted!
shouted: "Your Highness save me!" ”
This is not over, and then the fishing rod rains like raindrops, and I can only raise my arms to protect my head and face, and I am squeaked and screamed, embarrassed.
In the end, I couldn't dodge, so I had to crawl and choke on several mouthfuls of water before running to the other side of the stream.
Gu Bei put away the fishing rod, looked at the brocade-robed young man suspiciously, and looked carefully, it turned out to be Yang Shaoling......
I don't know what happened when he came to the door, I guess there is something good!
"I've seen Your Highness."
Thinking about it, he still had to salute, Gu Bei bared his teeth and bent down to salute.
"No courtesy, no courtesy, I came today to find Gu County's man." Yang Shaoling grabbed Gu Bei's shoulder and said again and again.
Is that really the case, looking for me? What can I do?
"It is an honor for His Highness to find so-and-so, His Highness has something to ask for, and so-and-so can do it, and he will not refuse!" Gu Beiyi said rhetorically.
Of course, things that can't be done, or things that are too difficult, definitely can't be helped.
"Don't be in a hurry to say, hehe, the scenery here is good, it's hard for me to go out of the city, Gu Xian doesn't invite me to come and sit? Speaking of which, this journey is very tiring, can you ask for a cup of tea to drink? Yang Shaoling said with a smile.
Forehead......
Nice view......
Hehe, the entire Luobei Port is being built, where does the scenery come from, it is estimated that it is all dust!
Gu Bei said: "Thanks to His Royal Highness's attention, I am flattered, and I don't dare to ask for ......."
Yang Shaoling smiled brightly: "Then bother Gu County man!" ”
Gu Bei snorted, put away the fishing rod, didn't want the fish basket, and waited to go back.
As soon as he turned his head, he saw Yang Shaoling's triumphant smile, and his heart suddenly panicked......
He stopped, laughed harmlessly, and said: "Your Highness grew up in the city, presumably it is boring, such a beautiful day, why not be on the bank of the stream, drinking and drinking tea, wouldn't it be happy?" ”
The smile on Yang Shaoling's face suddenly froze, and he didn't even let His Highness enter the door?
Yang Shaoling has always had a good impression of Gu Bei, has literature, and can accumulate money, which can be described as a rare talent!
He has always wanted to recruit Gu Bei under his command, and what he lacks most is money.
But now, Yang Shaoling's good impression of Gu Bei has almost disappeared, and it has been replaced by a strong sense of humiliation!
I am the prince of Xia Kingdom, you dare to be so rude to me? How dare you humiliate me like this?
It's just too deceitful!
Gu Bei naturally noticed the change in Yang Shaoling's expression and sighed slightly.
knew that he had completely offended him, but Gu Bei didn't care, anyway, he didn't plan to go the same way with him.
And Gu Bei's sigh was really heard by Yang Shaoling.
He didn't understand, are you disappointed in me?
What do you have to be disappointed in?
Who do you have to be disappointed?
Anger gathered in Yang Shaoling's chest, and he was about to open his mouth to ask, but was interrupted by Zhou Qingwen.
"Gu Xiannan, aren't they just two fish? As for beating so-and-so, so-and-so is also a person of His Highness, and if you humiliate so-and-so like this, isn't it equivalent to humiliating His Highness. ”
This goods were on the other side of the stream, thinking that Gu Bei had nothing to do with him, so he jumped to his feet and scolded.
Gu Bei suddenly became angry, looked around, saw that there were stones on the ground, copied them, and threw them towards Zhou Qingwen on the other side.
"Your uncle!"
"Gu Xiannan, if you scold so-and-so again, I will ...... Ouch! Zhou Qingwen was jumping on his feet, but he might as well Gu Bei's quasi-head was wonderful, the stone approached in the air, crossed a perfect parabola, hit Zhou Qingwen's forehead, and smashed him to the ground at once.
The corners of Yang Shaoling's eyes jumped wildly, seeing that Gu Bei was so faceless, he fell on his face in public, he couldn't hold back anymore, and drank: "Gu Bei, that's enough!" ”
By the way, he commanded the guards to go to save people, if Gu Bei was killed, he would have to be faceless.
Several guards hurriedly ran over with water, checked with their hands and feet, and found that it was only a bag the size of a goose egg swollen on his forehead, and there was no blood.
Seeing that His Royal Highness was angry, Gu Bei was stunned, why didn't he take people away.
Yang Shaoling smoothed out, his face returned to normal, and he smiled bitterly: "Why do you have to be so ruthless?" ”
Gu Bei said casually: "Who knew that his reaction was so bad, I'm afraid that his strength will be used to the woman's belly." ”
Seeing that he recovered so quickly, Gu Bei became vigilant in his heart, pointed to one of Yang Shaoling's guards and said, "You...... Yes, don't look at others, it's you, where to find Chen Jinwang in the high-rise building, just say that he and His Royal Highness want to talk about Fengyue on the bank of the stream, and ask him to hurry up and buy wine and delicacies. ”
The guard was stunned, and said in his heart that His Royal Highness Lao Tzu's personal guard is also what you can instruct? looked at His Highness, and saw that His Highness nodded helplessly, so he turned around and went.
Over there, Zhou Qingwen didn't pretend to be dead, he came back with the stream, took off his soaked clothes, took off a guard's clothes and put them on himself, ignoring the guard's resentful eyes, and stuffed a bunch of wet clothes into his arms.
When Chen Jinwang heard that His Royal Highness had come down, how dare he slack off, abandon his work, and dispatched more than 20 people to quickly renovate a table, and all the tables, chairs, benches, dishes, cups and saucers were moved to the side of the stream.
No matter how unpopular the proprietor is, it is still His Highness, and the level of hospitality naturally cannot be too bad.
Yang Shaoling took a sip of Chinese wine, and the hot wine was like a knife that stabbed his throat, but it was very enjoyable!
He opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of wine, and praised: "It's really good wine!" I don't know when this wine will be put on the market, and my father is full of praise for this wine. ”
Due to the fact that the new workshop has not yet been built, the old workshop cannot attract people on a large scale, and the Chinese wine brewed can only be supplied for own drinking and peach drunken house sales.
Zhou Qingwen took a sip and reveled in the wine, which he had been obsessed with since the last time he drank it.
He is still not used to drinking other wines, but the price of Chinese wine is too high, so a small bottle costs fifty taels of silver, and he is reluctant to drink it.
You must know that he is on an errand in His Highness's mansion, and the monthly case is only a few tens or hundreds of taels a month.
However, seeing Gu Bei's disdainful eyes, Zhou Qingwen blushed, rolled his eyes, and asked, "Gu County's male is talented, why don't you chant a poem to listen to it?" ”
was first slapped and smashed by Gu Bei, and now he is despised again, Zhou Qingwen is not at odds in his heart, so he wants to take it back.
Yang Shaoling didn't know what to think, and also echoed: "Does Gu County's man have a manuscript?" ”
Gu Bei rolled his eyes, treating it as a poem is the same as eating? Want to have it?
Although we can plagiarize the poems of the ancients, Gu Bei doesn't want to write poems anymore, and he has been diluting the impression of writing poems in the hearts of others.
Gu Bei smiled and shook his head: "Your Highness, I haven't written a poem for a long time. ”
Yang Shaoling was stunned for a moment, thinking about it, he was busy collecting money all day long, where did he have time to compose poems.
While the three of them were drinking, they said some non-nutritious words, no matter how Yang Shaoling tried to win them over and solicit them, Gu Bei did not respond, which made Yang Shaoling angry, and finally broke up unhappily!
Gu Bei looked at the distant figures, sighed leisurely and said, "If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight!"
Chen Jinwang, who was on the side, was at a loss, which sage's words were these?
What does it mean?
I've only heard of the crown, the emperor's crown, what is this crown?
The Prince's Tiara? Haven't heard of ......
However, Chen Jinwang didn't dare to ask more, he knew that his uncle must have some deep meaning when he said this.
Gu Bei looked up at the mountain, looked at the pleasant stream, and expelled Yang Shaoling's happy words.
I was thinking about whether to build a Zhuangzi here to live in.
Speaking of which, although this mountain is not far from Nakbuk Port, you can't feel the noise of Nakbuk Port at all.
Gu Bei calculated in his heart that the lady probably had more than two months to give birth, and more than two months to build a house was almost enough.
When the time comes, the little guy will also come, just enough to let them move here, it is estimated that the lady is tired of staying in the house every day!
Looking at the tall landmark building in Luobeigang, Gu Bei sighed in his heart, he has been in this world for eight months, and with so many achievements, it is time to build his own mansion!
Gu Bei walked around the neighborhood, and after choosing the address, he asked Chen Jinwang to bring a pen and paper and start drawing.
Half an hour later, when Li Laosan looked at the architectural drawings in his hand, he was stunned for a long time.
"Uncle, are you sure you want to build the mansion like this?" Li Laosan finally came back to his senses and asked.
Gu Bei nodded: "Yes, is there any problem, I don't understand much." ”
Chen Jinwang, the supervisor, was also dumbfounded when he looked at the architectural sketch drawn by Gu Bei.
Because he wasn't sure if the building was a violation.
Great Xia has strict regulations on the specifications of the mansions of officials and nobles. For county males, the depth of the main hall of the residence shall not exceed five, and the depth shall not exceed nine.
The face is wide for the middle, the depth is for the frame, and the middle of the adjacent two purlins is a step frame.
The width of five rooms refers to the six pillars on the front door of the hall, and there will be five partitions in the middle, which is the width of no more than five rooms.
The same is true for not more than nine crosses.
However, these data and requirements are aimed at the traditional architectural and garden design requirements of the Xia Kingdom.
But the sketches shown by Gu Bei are architectural styles that Li Laosan and Chen Jinwang have never seen before.
The sketch of the mansion painted by Gu Bei is actually a luxurious large manor house, rather than a traditional building.
The manor, for him, has never lived in it, at most he has seen it.
When he was knighted for some reason and allowed to build a county man's mansion, he thought about building a manor, but it was delayed because of various things.
When Gu Bei was drawing, Nuoda's manor referred to the design of many of the world's top manors.
He traveled abroad a lot during the winter and summer vacations, and saw many top estates.
For example, the garden in front of the main building of the manor is a miniature version of the garden of the Palace of Versailles.
The symmetrical geometry of roads, trees, pools, pavilions, and flower beds is magnificent.
Gu Bei even designed a large lake in the manor, connected to the creek, which made Chen Jinwang smack his tongue again and again.
I think that my house is luxurious enough, and all the glass that can be installed is installed, and I look at the owner's manor to know what a house is.
There are not only Western garden designs in the manor, but Gu Bei also integrates Eastern gardens into it.
The garden design represented by the Yu Garden and the Humble Administrator's Garden in the south of the Yangtze River, as well as various pavilions and pavilions, also allowed Gu Bei to 'copy' it.
The main building of the manor is a three-storey castle!
Li Laosan swallowed his saliva with difficulty: "Uncle, here, how can this mansion be built like this?" ”
"Why not?" Gu Bei asked puzzled.
"It's not in order!" Li Laosan began to explain to Gu Bei what is called feng shui composition, what is the front hall and back bed, and what is the three entrances to return home, respect and inferiority, orderly, and different between men and women......
In short, the mansion of Great Xia was not as messy as the sketches drawn by Gu Bei.
How can anyone enter the mansion is a large garden, and the shape of this garden is so strange.
