Guan Zhuofan opened the door of the "Golden Carriage", smiled and stretched out his hand.

Cixi hesitated slightly, but then reached out and grabbed Guan Zhuofan's arm, bowed her head and bent over, stepped on the pedal, and stepped out of the car.

It's not the first time I've done this in front of everyone. However, it was in Tianjin, in the Guangang Palace, and here, in Beijing.

Originally, this action, even in Fangjiayuan and Wicker Hutong, could not be done - let alone the Imperial Palace. But Cixi changed her mind: here and now, this Summer Palace, inside and out, is "her own people", what is the difference between it and the Guangang Palace?

Otherwise, he wouldn't have reached out to pick me up.

With this thought, my heart was hot, and my hand naturally stretched out.

After Cixi made a car decision, Guan Zhuofan and Li Lianying "changed hands", and the hand of the royal sister changed from the lover's arm to Xiao Lizi's arm.

The sun was shining, the breeze was blowing, and the eyes were full of blue waves, Cixi took a breath lightly, feeling slightly dizzy.

The seventeen-hole bridge has a gentle slope and is effortless to walk up.

The bridge deck is wide, even if two cars are side-by-side, it is more than enough.

Guan Zhuofan led the way in front, and said with a smile as he walked: "There is an old saying in Beijing, I don't know if the Queen Mother has heard it?" The lion called 'Lugou Bridge' – too many to count! However, there were five hundred and forty-four stone lions on the railings on both sides of this seventeen-hole bridge—forty-three more than the lions on the Lugou Bridge! ”

"Yo!"

Cixi exclaimed lightly, and then noticed: Sure enough, on each pillar of the stone railing, there was a stone lion squatting, different sizes, vivid shapes, and different interests.

There was a sense of pride in my heart: This is the "only one" in the whole of China, right?

After a little calculation in his heart, he said: "In this way, the lions of Lugou Bridge are five hundred and one? ”

Guan Zhuofan said: "Yes." ”

He thought, when I crossed over, the stone lions on the Lugou Bridge were indeed five hundred and one, and in the mid-sixties of the nineteenth century, I don't know how many there were, and maybe there were many. Regardless of him, it doesn't matter, the important thing is that the stone lions of the Seventeen-Hole Bridge must be more than those of the Lugou Bridge - this is "what the government needs". Come to think of it, no one will run to Lugou Bridge, just count them one by one, and insist on comparing this one, hehe.

Walking to the center of the bridge, looking at the south and looking at the north, all are the vast smoke waves, and the blue is ten thousand acres. The wind blowing with water vapor blows, faintly has a sense of emptiness, here and now, Fang knows that the "rainbow" is a metaphor for "bridge", which is really appropriate!

With such weather, even the Old Summer Palace does not have it! Cixi had a big heart, and thought that not to mention the scenery on "Penglai Island", this long bridge alone is enough to comfort her life!

This errand of the lover is really beautiful!

Cixi has never been to Qingyi Garden, and the Qingyi Garden in her imagination has long become a mound and ruin, a piece of broken tiles and ruins, "barren grass grows, and rocks are falling", which is an out-and-out abandoned garden. Pavilions, pavilions, palaces, bridges, and pavilions, which are cold smoke, and which ones still exist in scale, have no concept at all.

Therefore, naturally, from the first glance of seeing the "general map" of the Summer Palace, I regarded the Hongtu Huafu on it as the personal handwriting of the lover, of course, including the seventeen-hole bridge.

Sister Yu's beautiful misunderstanding, Guan Zhuofan is naturally pushing the boat with the current, and there is no doubt about it.

The small island connected by the seventeen-hole bridge is the "Penglai Island" of the "Penglai Three Islands", that is, the "Nanhu Island" of the later generations, and the most important building on the island is the "Hanxu Building" at the northern end of the island.

This building is called "Hanxu Hall" in the future, there is only one floor, but in the era of Qingyi Garden in the Qianlong Dynasty, it has three floors, called "Wangchan Pavilion". As the name suggests, this pavilion is a great place to enjoy the moon in summer and autumn. "Wangchan Pavilion" was changed from three floors to one floor in the Jiaqing Dynasty, and the name was also changed to "Hanxu Hall".

Guan Zhuofan thought that this has changed from high to low, from "looking at the toad" to "implying the void", which has already shown the growth and decline of the empire's national strength and spirit from one side.

Alas, sigh.

In Guan Zhuofan's hands, "Hanxu Hall" has become "Hanxu Building" again, from "Hall" to "Building", it is conceivable that this building with the vicissitudes of life has been pulled up again.

"Hanxu Pavilion" two floors, than "Wangchan Pavilion" is one layer less, but the height is the same, that is to say, each floor, are much more open than "Wangchan Pavilion", this is because, "Wangchan Pavilion" is only used for admiring the moon, you can take a nap, but you can't stay overnight, "Hanxu Building" has a complete residential function.

Different from the Seventeen-Hole Bridge, "Hanxu Building" is really Guan Zhuofan's "handwriting". In the year of Xinyou, the catastrophe of Britain and France, "Hanxutang" has been burned down, leaving only a foundation.

As for the name of this building, it is still "Hanxu", and it has not been changed back to "Wangchan" for two reasons:

First, Guan Zhuofan used this to show his respect for the time and space he traveled from.

Second, and more importantly, it is still a period of "concealment", and it is not yet the time to "look at the toad". Ten years of life gathering, ten years of lessons, and then we can talk about the rest. In the words of a certain prince in later generations, it is four words: "Taoguang Yanghui".

When it comes time for the toad, I'll make it worthy of its name.

The "top" of the "Hanxu Building" and the "Hanxu Hall" of the original time and space are like, and they are also "two volumes of the hall", that is, there are two roofs, one large and one small, all of which are roll shed rest mountain style.

In the shade of grass and trees, it is not noticeable from a distance, but when she gets closer, Cixi can see the difference of this "Hanxu Building".

This is a "combination of East and West" architecture.

The "hat" is Chinese-style, but the "body" is Western-style.

With the "bottom" of Tianjin Guangang Palace, the royal sister can see at a glance that this "Hanxu Building" is a brick and stone structure, not a brick and wood structure. In addition, the window is very large, and through the bright glass, you can see the velvet curtain hanging behind the window, inlaid with intricate lace.

Look at it a little more carefully - the window lattice, well, there are peaches, gourds, pomegranates, fan bottles, swastikas, and so on. Hey? But it is a "Chinese style". It's just that - there seem to be some changes, and it's much more concise and polished than you normally see.

Yo, even the windows are a "combination of East and West".

Entering the "Hanxu Building", the eyes of the royal sister lit up, not to mention the rest, facing the side of Kunming Lake, a long window of the water, through the beautiful window lattice, the lake light and water color, all into the building.

Pushing the "window" out, there is a huge terrace outside. Looking into the distance, Wanshou Mountain opposite, across the water of Miao Miao Lake, is far away. Now, Wanshou Mountain, full of scaffolding, imagine, after completion, a mountain is verdant, Qionglou is everywhere, Zhu Yong is a little bit, what kind of scenery is that?

I had to shake my heart.

Walking to the edge of the terrace, the railing looked down, but was slightly surprised: there was a cliff below.

However, how can the stones on the cliff describe it like this...... Peculiar?

Guan Zhuofan next to him saw the doubts of the royal sister, and said: "Empress Dowager Qiyu, this 'Hanxu Building' is actually from a rockery, and the cliff you see is actually a rockery, so it is rugged and strange, with thousands of shapes. ”

The royal sister smiled: "I said it - it's ingenious. ”

"Empress Dowager Xie's award."

Cixi smiled at the corner of her mouth, her eyes rolled, she glanced at her lover, then turned her head and looked closely, sure enough, this is not a real cliff, there are two stone stairs sticking out of the terrace, sticking to the "cliff", slanting down from side to side until the shore. This "shore", in fact, is also a terrace, enclosed by a stone balustrade, only in the central part, with an opening, sticking out of a platform, climbing down the stairs and extending into the water.

It's easy to guess what this platform does, and Cixi asked, "Is that a dock?" ”

"Yes!" Guan Zhuofan said, "Back to the Queen Mother, this wharf is not just used to swim in Kunming Lake. The moat and Kunming Lake, in fact, a water is connected, in the future, the Queen Mother stationed in the Summer Palace, you can directly take a boat to come, if you want to be fortunate to Hanxu Building, just go ashore here. ”

"The moat and here...... It's actually passable? Cixi was pleasantly surprised, "I don't know! ”

"Yes, however, we have to do a little dredging work first, and ask the Queen Mother to let the ministers for a few more days, and the ministers will definitely make a smooth and proper ...... 'Royal Water Road' for the Queen Mother."

Cixi smiled: "I don't force you - I'll wait for you." ”

Uh, this sentence......

Cixi turned her head: "You don't have to go down - let's go upstairs and have a look." ”

"Yes, Servant."

Returning to the "Hanxu Building", along the spacious staircase, holding Guan Zhuofan's arm, Cixi climbed to the second floor step by step.

This time, only Zhuo Fan was the only one who "waited", Yu'er and Li Lianying, and they glanced at each other, but they didn't follow.
