Chapter 399: Wuthering Heights
Soon after, many stories were circulated in Rizhao County, especially the monks and Taoist priests who had seen the cave, and they portrayed the cave as a Senluo hell. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info because Wang Yongan eradicated the Jiaodong giant bandit Jiaodong Hao who specifically oppressed the people, the legend about him suddenly became positive, people described the bandits in the cave as hellish ghosts, Jiangbei Wang Yongan is like a Daluo immortal, a golden light scattered, the ghosts disappeared, and those ghosts who could not be killed were pressed by Wang Yongan under the mountain, and they could not be born forever. In short, in the word of mouth of the people, Wang Yongan is no longer a human, but an immortal beyond the human race, which makes Wang Yongan himself cry and laugh after hearing the legend.
After dealing with a group of bandits in Jiaozhou, Wang Yongan ordered Li Zuzhi's First Infantry Brigade to return to Xuzhou to continue to garrison, and closely concerned about the situation of the Beiyang Army, if the Beiyang Army army went south from Xuzhou, Li Zuzhi's troops could resist on the spot without declaration, and if the Beiyang Army was huge, the First Infantry Brigade needed to fight and retreat, and sabotaged the Jinpu Railway all the way to strictly prevent the Beiyang Army from coming directly to the hinterland of Jiangbei along the railway.
Li Zuzhi asked: "Dashuai, are we going to have a showdown with the Beiyang Army?" ”
Wang Yongan shook his head and said: "That's not necessary, we don't have the capital to compete with the Beiyang Army, if we fight, I think most people will attack us and fall into the ground." But we also want people to know that we are not meat buns, anyone can gnaw on them, we are thorny stones, and whoever gnaws our Jiangbei Army will let him choke to death and burp to death. ”
"Yes, my subordinates know how to do it." Li Zuzhi said, and then returned to Xuzhou with the army to garrison.
Wang Yongan led the cavalry battalion back to Yangzhou and began to prepare for the second wedding in his life.
Maybe it was because of the second wedding that he was not so excited, and at this time he suddenly remembered the excitement when he got married for the first time, and remembered Yuan Nianzhen's goodness and her delicateness. The more I think of Nianzhen, the more I think of Xiaotian who was sent to a second brother, and in the future, I will live under the same roof with my second brother, and it will inevitably become more and more embarrassing.
Thinking of this, he decided to move out of the Wang family's old house and start a new business. In 1883, Li Hongzhang's subordinate Anhui Province native He Zhicheng stepped down as the supervisor of Hubei Han Huangde Road and Jianghan Customs, and came to Yangzhou to buy the old site of Wu's Pian Shi Mountain House, and built Wuthering Heights, which lasted 13 years, but He Zhishan only lived here for four years, in 1901, He Zhishan, who was nearly 70 years old, resolutely sold Wuthering Heights and went to Shanghi to do business. The reason why He Zhiyan resolutely left Yangzhou was not that he was threatened by anyone, and Yangzhou was still an important transit point of the Grand Canal and the center of the world's salt port at that time, but he was keenly aware of the rise of shipping and the decline of river transportation. He thought that in the future, shipping would replace the role of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, and if the He family was still complacent in Yangzhou, the family would definitely decline in the future and achieve nothing, so he resolutely went south to Shanghi to start over.
Wuthering Heights covers an area of 14,000 square meters, with a construction area of more than 7,000 square meters, divided into four courtyards, namely the East Garden, the West Garden, the Garden Courtyard and the Stone Mountain House, and there are Ming Nan Hall, Qing Nan Hall, Water Moon, Yuxiu Building, Horse Riding Building, Peony Hall, Boat Hall, Water Heart Pavilion, Butterfly Hall, Moon Viewing Building, etc. Wuthering Heights has the classic architectural layout of China's classical private gardens, which is different from the concept of symmetry in the central axis of foreign gardens, it adopts natural law, and its pavilions and pavilions are irregularly scattered and distributed between the mountains and rivers that are either man-made or according to the landform, taking the artistic conception of the unity of nature and man.
After He Zhicheng sold Wuthering Heights, he was purchased by the former salt transport envoy Zenghou after several turns, and now Zenghou has stepped down as a salt transport envoy and returned to Beijing to live in the old age, and Wuthering Heights was purchased by Wang Yongtai for some small money. The reason why Wang Yongtai arranged Zhang Xun's family to send Wuthering Heights is precisely because the villa was already the property of the Wang family at this time.
Wang Yongan asked Xiao Xiaoyue to move his family to live in Wuthering Heights after asking, Xiao Xiaoyue naturally knew about this villa, and was extremely excited about it, and repeatedly said that she had long wanted to live there, although the old house of the Wang family was good, but she always felt that there were some inappropriate and awkward, and now she is happy to live in Wuthering Heights.
After arriving in Yangzhou, Wang Yongan and Wang Yongtai said that they didn't want to live in the Wang family's old house, although Wang Yongtai said that he didn't want his younger brother to leave home, but when he thought that after all, the two brothers were under the same roof, and Wang Yongan had many wives and concubines in the future, which was really inconvenient, so he arranged a new house for Wang Yongan in Wuthering Heights.
After all, Wuthering Heights is known as the first garden of the late Qing Dynasty, no need to arrange too much, just a little decoration, the whole villa is full of joy and vitality, in this cold winter, Yangzhou City also became lively because of Wang Yongan's wedding. Wang Yongan simply struck while the iron was hot, and said to Wang Yongtai that it was better to marry Xiao Xiaoyue the first day, Zhang Menglan the second day, Wei Wentong on the third day, and Yuxiu on the fourth day. Wang Yongtai said that you don't think they are against it, and our family will save trouble, so as not to work too hard, and marry all of them before the Chinese New Year.
Wang Yongan sent someone to ask the four families what they meant, and he thought that the Zhang family would disagree, but he didn't expect that the second lady of the Zhang family not only did not object, but took the initiative to propose that the family move out of Wuthering Heights in order to vacate the wedding room. Wang Yongan didn't even say no, this Wuthering Heights is big, and there are not many family members, so it is more convenient for family members to live together. Miss Zhang Er didn't have any ideas, and the other individuals didn't have any ideas, so everyone readily agreed.
Then Wang Yongan thought that since everyone lived in Wuthering Heights, and it was only the day before and after marriage to get married, this residence had to be settled first, so he invited the four girls to go to Wuthering Heights together, and they chose their favorite courtyard building. Far from being objected to, the four women all expressed their support, so Wang Yongan invited everyone to Wuthering Heights, and they had to choose for themselves. So as not to say who they are biased with in the future.
The four girls are familiar with each other, and it is inevitable that they will be embarrassed after meeting for the first time, but the chivalrous Wei Wentong is straightforward and fast-talking, and she walked directly into the building she liked. Seeing that Wei Wentong took the initiative to choose, Yuxiu also hurriedly walked in, for fear that Wang Yongan, who was left behind, would be unhappy.
Wang Yongan winked at Xiao Xiaoyue, Xiao Xiaoyue reluctantly walked in, leaving only Miss Zhang Menglan, who was not familiar with everyone.
When Miss Zhang saw Wang Yongan for the second time, she didn't feel that this Yangzhou little Zhuge had any elegant temperament, but looked like a yuppie. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but secretly look at Wang Yongan, but she didn't want to see Wang Yongan actually looking at her with a squint, so frightened that she turned her head with a "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
