Section 9 The Black Jade Tiger Talisman
As soon as Xue Yuan left, Manager Liu put the Moyuhu talisman into the box again, holding the box and politely said to Peng Detian, Ye Tao and others who were still kneeling on the ground: "Everyone, please get up, shake your majesty in front of you." See smiled. ”
No matter who it is, since he is holding the Ink Jade Tiger Talisman, it is the identity of Qin Cha. Peng Detian got up and approached, and saluted: "Peng Detian, the governor of Yicheng, didn't know that the envoy was coming, and he hoped to forgive his sins." And as he spoke, he bowed down again.
Manager Liu gently lifted it and said, "Lord Governor, I'm just a nosy person, just to send some troubles for my young lady." If you are not an envoy of the imperial court, please go back first. These days, the young lady will settle in Yicheng, and she must not disturb the governor. ”
Peng Detian glanced at the carriage parked not far away suspiciously, and replied, "Yes." Then the next official retired. ”
Du Fengchi, who had met with Manager Liu just now, was in disbelief, and almost in the blink of an eye, Miss Zhuo, who had already expected a high status, would actually be able to take out the Moyu Tiger Talisman.
"Mr. Liu, I thank you for your help this time." Du Fengchi bowed and saluted.
"This is Miss's order," Manager Liu looked at the sky and said, "Ye Gongzi, if it is convenient, please take the time." Miss I want to talk to you. ”
Ye Tao hurriedly replied: "I don't know where you are staying, I will go back to the workshop to tidy up a little, and then I will go to thank you." ”
Du Fengchi said, "Oh, Xiao Ye, they live in Xunfeng Pavilion. ”
Mr. Liu said goodbye, sent the box containing the Moyu Tiger Talisman back to the car, and left with a group of carriages and horses. Ye Tao and Du Fengchi were still standing in place.
"I probably haven't lived in this Xunfeng Pavilion yet." Ye Tao complained, "I built it." You guys are really unreasonable. ”
Du Fengchi laughed, he knew that as long as he mentioned the gardens that Ye Tao had built, he would inevitably be a little depressed. "This Miss Zhuo family is not small, I believe that the Zhuo family is holding the Moyu Tiger Talisman now, but the Zhuo family handed over the Moyu Tiger Talisman to their own young lady for self-defense? This seems unlikely. ”
"Do you recognize that thing?" Ye Tao still doesn't know what Mr. Liu took out just now.
"Guessed. I haven't seen anything like that. Du Fengchi shrugged.
Ye Tao turned around angrily and shouted, "Senior brother, you pushed the Saimen knife cart out, and you are responsible for re-oiling." …… What about Lao Ning? Lao Ning! Sweep the floor. ”
Although after some turmoil, Ye Tao's mood didn't seem to be affected, he changed his clothes in the workshop and rushed to Xunfeng Pavilion with Du Fengchi.
Kaoru Kazukaku is a busy scene. Originally, the Du family arranged a lot of servants to clean in a loop here, keeping it possible for someone to live in at any time. However, Miss Zhuo and her entourage were more particular, several maids rearranged the bonsai, and several guards untied their sabers to help the servants of the Du family clean up again. And the rest of the guards, except for those who remained in the building, were mostly distributed throughout the courtyard, and were carefully searching the entire garden, not sparing a single grass or tree.
Seeing Ye Tao and Du Fengchi coming, the maid Sisi greeted her, Yifu, and said, "Two sons, please, the young lady has been waiting on the top floor for a long time." ”
Stepping into the Xunfeng Pavilion made Ye Tao full of emotion, this is a generation of classic buildings carefully designed with the principle of both comfort and gorgeousness. Every corner of the cornice, every corridor and aisle, every partition wall and fixed screen in the four-story pavilion has been carefully considered. Although it is a wind from all directions, it easily avoids the southeast monsoon, which almost never changes in the direction of Yicheng in summer, because it blows very the body. Instead, the walkways and gaps between the buildings are cleverly used to form a pattern in which the external wind drives the internal air convection. The staircase, eaves, ceilings, etc., are so small that they are often overlooked, making this building a fine building that can be savored.
Especially on the top floor, the height of the floor is shorter than the lower three floors, but with the help of a large number of structural designs, the entire four floors can actually be warm in winter and cool in summer. In particular, the wide and bright window platform and specially designed furniture for people to lie down and relax make it a pleasure to lie by the window and read and write, or drink tea and chess, or even drink flowers until you fall asleep.
Stepping into the top floor and seeing Miss Zhuo lying lazily on the edge of the windowsill, Ye Tao immediately understood that this Miss Zhuo was also a person who knew how to enjoy life. Miss Zhuo leaned against the cushion woven with cattail, and a cup of tea was placed on the low table beside her. A small stove for boiling tea is placed on a stone platform a few steps away. There was also a plate of peaches and a plate of corn kernels in sugar water on the low table. Perhaps the little bird that often stops on the edge of the window is really beautiful and cute, and Miss Zhuo actually held a few corn kernels in her palm to lure the bird to stop on the edge of her palm to peck at those corn kernels. The look of concentration was extremely moving.
"Miss, the two sons have arrived." Sisi ran up and replaced Miss Zhuo with a cup of hot tea. Then he retreated.
Miss Zhuo saw that the little bird stopped at the edge of her palm, and was greedy for the food of the few grains of corn and refused to fly away, so she simply put the plate containing the corn kernels on the windowsill, and let the little bird eat happily on the edge of the plate.
Wiping her hands with a sweat towel, Miss Zhuo beckoned the two to sit down across from her. "The little woman is weak, and she is afraid that she will faint when she suddenly sits up, so she has neglected etiquette, and she asked the two sons not to be surprised."
Ye Tao and Du Fengchi said in unison: "Miss is at her own convenience." ”
"This Xunfeng Pavilion is really extraordinary, starting from the courtyard, pond, and stone steps below, there is actually no place that is not without care. Although Xunfeng Pavilion is not the highest point in Yicheng, it is an excellent place to watch the calm twilight. In this busy city, it is really rare to be able to steal a river view. Especially in this building, it is so comfortable to sit and lie down at will. The garden that the capital spent a lot of money to build is really a little inferior to here. "Miss Zhuo obviously likes Xunfeng Pavilion very much, and her evaluation is very high.
"Don't dare. The garden master of the capital built the garden, and the purpose sought was different from this Xunfeng Pavilion. Such a comparison is unfair to those masters. Ye Tao said modestly.
Miss Zhuo smiled and said: "It's not a comparison with each other, these two words are comfortable, it's just that I probably like it more here, and I like it more." This top-floor attic originally listened to the shopkeeper of Linjiang Building, and thought it was a string of wind, but now I know at a glance that it is actually a good place to be warm in winter and cool in summer. It's a pity that I can't stay long in Yicheng. …… Well, maybe we'll come back next year in the winter. I just don't know if my body can survive this bumpy road in winter. ”
Looking at Miss Zhuo's pale face, it only looked a little bloody in the sunset. Ye Tao looked at this woman who looked a little younger than himself, and a wave of pity rose in his heart, and he comforted: "Miss Zhuo, it's still important to be healthy. This place of peace of mind is the hometown, as long as it is a place where the heart can settle down, where is not the landscape? The construction of this pavilion is just a trivial matter. ”
Miss Zhuo nodded and said, "This place of peace is my hometown. Well said. Ye Gongzi, today the little girl went to the Yizhan Building, and I heard the little sister who sold the goods in the store say that the boy originally intended to go to the capital to open the Yizhan Building and the Yizhan Shop. In fact, the furniture of Ye's workshop is sold to the sky in the capital, and if the son intends to enter Beijing to open a business. When the time comes, please come and build such a comfortable place for the little girl. ”
Ye Taoluo said with a wry smile: "There are a lot of things from the Ye family's workshop in the capital, and I have heard of some here. But different places will have different ideas, but there is no confidence that you can make a profit in the capital. Although Yicheng is full of businessmen, the atmosphere of profit-seeking is not very strong, but because the climate is suitable, many wealthy businessmen take Yicheng as a place to retire, pursuing comfort and comfort and not good pomp. This allows the lazy and comfortable temperament to be able to give full play. Arrived in the capital...... Can this IKEA really be IKEA? But there is no such self-confidence. It's just that if the young lady wants to build a garden and buy a building, she will rush to the capital immediately with a letter, but by drive. ”
Miss Zhuo didn't follow Ye Tao's words, but suggested with great interest: "Then Yi Zhanlou can always drive to the capital, right?" There are so many tricks in marching chess, if you hadn't been to see the battle building, you really wouldn't know. The children in the capital and the soldiers in the army are very popular in the marching chess, and even the big fight game, although they don't know that the official regulations have been promulgated here, but everyone has agreed in private, and they also play a little like that. I also have three younger brothers at home, and the younger two run to my study all day long and set up a dozen or so chess pieces to kill in the dark, and they don't know how to clean up. If you open the Yizhan Building and the Yizhan Shop in the capital, I am afraid that those prodigal children in the capital will be emptied of the last penny of money in your pocket. ”
In fact, Ye Tao is also very interested in how far Yi Zhan Lou can develop. He thought for a moment and said, "That's doable." It's just that recently, Ye's workshop is also rushing to work, and I'm afraid it won't be until the end of the year and the beginning of next year to free up manpower to go to the capital. ”
Miss Zhuo laughed and said, "Hurry? To get back the house you live in? ”
Ye Tao was a little embarrassed, this thing of building a house but not having to live in his own house is really funny, who would have thought that a few houses would make those old guys who are so big play tricks again and again?
