Han Wen is from Shanxi, but he has served abroad for many years and has a lot of knowledge, this house was originally built by him, so naturally it will not be bad.

As soon as you enter the door, everyone will see the extraordinary, close to the pavilions everywhere, looking at the buildings in the distance, and the exquisite gardens make people feel like they have arrived in the water town in the south of the Yangtze River.

These are enough to make people stop and enjoy the beautiful scenery, but at this time no one pays attention, everyone just stays for a while, and then goes straight to the rockery in the center of the courtyard, this is today's theme, the focus of attention of the people of Beijing.

Shou Ninghou didn't know that he had been taken for Lu Wenhou, so he swaggered ahead to lead the way, until he saw the rockery and heard the sound of water.

Before Xie Hong's closed construction, Zhang Heling had been here several times, and of course he knew what the garden looked like. Although there are mountains and water, the water is brought in from the outside by digging a ditch, and the water flow is very gentle, and it does not make a sound at all.

But now the sound of the water is loud, the movement is very loud, you can imagine the turbulence of the water flow from a distance, lined with the sound of water, the garden has also added a bit of bright color. It's just that...... Where does this water come from? Was it really made by that Xie Hong?

Zhang Heling had an ominous premonition, and the steps under his feet involuntarily sped up a little. The guest followed the host, and since the host hastened his march, everyone followed closely behind.

After a while, I arrived next to the rockery. This rockery faces the sun in the south and the water in the north, but everyone comes from the side, turns the rockery, and feels that the front is suddenly bright.

At some point there was a pond at the bottom of the mountain, and the water was crystal clear, but there was a silver belt on the hill that meandered down and fell into the pool, which is where the sound of water just heard started.

The rockery also seems to have been trimmed, and there are a lot of embellishments on it, and when you look at it from a distance, you can see that it is covered with a layer of green, like a forest on the mountain. In the middle of the bushes, a corner of the eaves may be exposed, and it is obvious that a pavilion is hidden in the middle; Or a touch of yellow wall looms, making people wonder if there is a temple behind it.

With these embellishments, the mountain has seemed to come to life, and then there is a waterfall flying in the meantime, the sound of the water is surging, reflecting the sun, and there are rainbow flashes from time to time, almost making the viewer mistakenly think that Lushan has been shrunk by people with immortal methods and placed here, as if in a dream.

"This ...... This is? ”

"Great! It's simply a specific and micro scenery of Lushan! ”

"It's made of man?"

The exclamations and admiration were endless, and the scene in front of them was really beyond their imagination, and they couldn't help but be amazed. Not to mention others, even if it is Hangul with a plan, their minds are all taken by it, and for a while, everyone is standing in front of the rockery.

"Guys, is it still good to see the clumsy work?" It wasn't until someone started to speak that everyone came back to their senses, turned their heads and saw that it was Xie Hong, and they all had nothing to say.

Zhang Heling wanted to force a few words, but when he opened his mouth, he found that he couldn't find suitable words, what could he say? Can't you say it? Even if he said it, I am afraid that no one agrees, including himself, everyone is still uncertain at this moment, and glances at it from time to time, this mountain is simply the same as the real thing, far from the original bare stone mountain.

"Xie Tongzhi's craftsmanship is really extraordinary, and the other two places must be even more exciting, this official is eager to wear it, what do you think? Why don't I wait to satisfy my curiosity first, and then come back and enjoy it slowly? Han Wen smiled and proposed.

Seeing such a situation, he knew that this problem had been solved without a doubt, and doing more entanglement would only save face, and he had also learned Xie Hong's words, so naturally he would not repeat the mistakes of the past. What's more, this rockery is too exquisite, the longer he looks at it, the more shocked he is in his heart, he simply proposes to go to the next place directly, so as to reduce the shock in everyone's hearts.

After all, the rockery is only the simplest of the three problems, and the method of lifting water with a waterwheel has also been mentioned, although I didn't see where the waterwheel here is, and I didn't expect Xie Hong to do those embellishments, but the reason is almost the same, and it is not too unexpected.

In addition, Xie Hong only had a few fans around him, which made Han Wen breathe a sigh of relief, what he was most afraid of was that Zhengde appeared here. With that master's elusiveness and elf eccentricity, it is not uncommon for him to appear here, but if he appears, Han Wen will be embarrassed.

You have to be polite when you see the emperor, right? The momentum is a little weaker; Moreover, that master is an unconventional person, with him, there may not be any accidents. Xie Hong and Zhengde are in the same group, and they often have headaches, not to mention Lord Han, who is the enemy of the other party?

"Then please." Xie Hong glanced at Han Wen, but didn't say much, stretched out his hand, and everyone followed his guidance to look, and saw a small bridge on the river not far away.

This river is an artificial river, it is not wide, the distance between the two banks is only three or five zhang, the small bridge is even more exquisite, everyone came to pay attention to the rockery, and really did not find the bridge for a while.

When I got closer and looked more closely, many people forgot about the shock just now and couldn't help laughing.

How to get the water from the rockery, everyone doesn't care much, the idea is the most admirable, if it is not for the view in the chest, it is absolutely impossible to think of such a layout.

But the small bridge in front of you is not necessarily a little too casual, generally speaking, if the bridge does not have piers, most of them are arch bridges, especially this time the topic is still able to go down the bridge, the boat is a three-story painting boat, at least two or three zhang high, so it has become a problem.

However, although the width of this bridge is moderate, in terms of form, it is like a single-plank bridge, just straight on the surface of the river, without the slightest curvature. Not to mention the three-story boat, even if it is an ordinary flat boat, if you want to cross underneath, the people on the boat can't stand, otherwise they will definitely hit the bridge.

"Hahahaha, Xie Hong, this is the bridge you built? Can such a bridge cross a three-story boat? Are you playing a trick on Benhou? Zhang Heling laughed and said, he held back for a long time, and finally was able to take a long breath.

Xie Hong was not angry, and said with a smile: "It's not okay to play the monkey official, but this bridge is no problem, not to mention a three-story painting boat, even if it is a five-tooth ship, as long as the Hou Ye can drive in, you can also pass under the bridge." ”

Zhang Heling couldn't help but hesitate, this is just an artificial river, not to mention the five-tooth ship, even if it is a three-story painting boat, in fact, it is all nonsense from him, he can't eat such deep water, and he will hit the bottom when he walks in.

He didn't know if Xie Hong saw through this, so he casually built a bridge to deal with it, and his thoughts were also spinning around, and he was eager to take countermeasures, and he didn't even care about Xie Hong's ridicule.

"There is no three-story painting boat, but there is a second-story one parked upstream, Xie Hong, Ben Hou only asks you, if you sail that boat over, can you get by?" Zhang Heling was still thinking, but Zhang Songling got a hint from Hanwen and asked Xie Hong with a sneer.

Han Wen put a lot of thought into this house, and since there is such a wide artificial river, how can he not get a boat.

"It's okay, it's okay, Master Hou just has to sail the boat over." Xie Hong was still smiling, and no one could tell whether he was pretentious or confident.

Seeing his reaction, Zhang Songling felt a little bottomless, but Zhang Heling's surname was reckless, and he didn't pay attention to it so much, beckoned a subordinate, and gave a low command, and then the subordinate glared at Xie Hong, and hurriedly went upstream.

Everyone naturally talked about it again, although no one dared to assert it, but no one would be optimistic about Xie Hong. It's different from when he didn't see it, now the bridge is really there, his craftsmanship is just magical, can he still make the boat fly up from the river, jump over the bridge?

As time passed, the voice of discussion gradually increased, and the questioning and gloating eyes were also cast on Xie Hong from time to time, but Xie Hong did not care at all, and he always looked like a light and breezy appearance.

It was not until a painting boat appeared in the upper reaches of the creek that the chatter died down, replaced by a low exclamation, for the boat had already puffed up its sails, and then the wind rushed down as if it were about to crash the little bridge.

In fact, that's what the boatman planned, Zhang Heling squinted at Xie Hong, and couldn't help laughing: "Xie Hong, look carefully, when your broken bridge is broken, don't forget what you said, if you pay ten or four million taels!" Don't repay the debt, otherwise Ben Hou will not be easy to mess with! Haha......"

After that, he laughed wildly again, this painting boat rushed straight over, of course, it was what he just ordered, although it was inevitably a little damaged when it hit the boat, but thinking of Xie Hong's deflated appearance, where could Zhang Heling take care of that little thing?

What's more, the main body of the bridge is wooden, and it is not very wide, how strong can it be? Didn't it collapse as soon as it hit it? He ordered the boat to drive quickly, but he was also afraid that Xie Hong would have some tricks, as long as the boat was fast, he wouldn't have time to use it, right?

Seeing that the distance between the boat and the bridge was getting shorter and shorter, many people had already closed their eyes, just waiting to hear the loud noise of the impact, and even Zhang Heling stopped laughing, waiting for the exciting moment with his mouth open.

"Smack, smack." At this moment, Xie Hong, who had been smiling, made a move, and he suddenly slapped his slap twice, his voice was not high, but it was quite loud in the silence.

Some people are also paying attention to his movements, and their hearts are tense when they see it, is there really a trick? In such a situation? Before they could turn the next thought, there was a sudden change on the river.

The boat, as it was unusual, continued to move at a rapid pace, like a bison, and crashed into the bridge, but just as it was about to collide, the target was gone.

The people on the boat were naturally startled, most of them were ready to jump into the river to take refuge, only the subordinate sent by Zhang Heling was more heroic, reading power in the bow of the boat, looking at the target with blazing eyes - people died for money, and his own marquis promised a heavy reward, and he couldn't help but feel that he was not heroic.

But the target suddenly disappeared, and he had eaten a lot of food, and his feet were unstable, and he almost fell into the river. He managed to stand firm, and when he looked around, he found that the bridge was not missing, but suddenly split in two in the middle, and then lifted up on both sides, leaving the river empty.

He saw it all, and the people on the riverbank naturally saw it more clearly, Zhang Heling's jaw almost fell to the ground, and everyone else was also surprised, the bridge that could move was amazing!

After being surprised, after thinking about it, everyone was also suddenly aware that with such a bridge, no matter how big the ship was, it could indeed pass through. Don't you see that the bridge on both sides is almost straight on the riverbank?

"Treasures must be high-quality." Xie Hong said leisurely: "Master Hou, 400,000 taels, don't you pay the bills, you must know, this official is not easy to mess with." "I actually returned the original words.

Zhang Heling's face was blue and white for a while, and it was easy to hold back a sentence: "There is another question, you can solve it first." ”

"Well said, well said." Xie Hong smiled, and his expression was the same as when he said that he should answer the question.

When walking on the bridge, many people were still trembling, after all, the bridge had just been moved, who knew whether it was strong or not, but Xie Hong was the first to get on the bridge, and he had been waiting in the middle of the bridge.

Not only can it move, but it is also so strong, when I think about Xie Hong's advertising slogan, many people are already convinced, and they don't even feel any suspense about the last question, it's just a window, and it is rare to fall this world's first craftsman?

The Zhang brothers were very uneasy in their hearts, if the last question was passed by Xie Hong, then they would owe 300,000 taels of silver! The deposit of 100,000 taels has already been paid, needless to say.

Such a large amount is not for fun, they have no property, except for the autumn breeze from the Empress Dowager Zhang from time to time, that is, relying on a little silver, and usually using a large amount, there is no savings at all, where is it possible to afford such a large sum of money?

Of course, this matter started in Hangul, and you can also ask Hangul for it, but what if Hangul doesn't admit it? The two of them, the uncle, are not the He Jin in the Three Kingdoms, they really don't have much power, otherwise how could they rashly come out for a house?

What's more, this time I offended the plague god, but I had no choice but to get him, thinking of the terrible thing about the plague god in the rumor, the uncles of the two countries felt a chill on their backs, and cold sweat was also trickling down. That's the plague god, who specializes in plague opponents, and it's unlucky to get on the side, but this time he faced it directly, so what's the deal?

The courtiers are very calm, Han Wen has a plan, and the others have nothing to do with themselves, but Li Qi's expression is a little weird. Somehow, Li Shilang looked worried, but he was more like the main messenger behind the scenes than Hangul.

When they saw the window of the house, everyone's mood changed. Most people were disappointed, but the Zhang brothers were a little lucky, because the window was too ordinary, just a window made of bamboo pieces.

Although the bamboo pieces are tightly seamed, there is no light at all, and it must be better to breathe, but it is far from what everyone expected, and it doesn't seem to match the title.

In the question, it is required that the window can be shielded from the wind and rain while also allowing light to penetrate. If you use glass to make windows, it can be solved, but in this house, there are many houses, if you use glass, 400,000 taels can not be stopped, so it is a problem, and now the bamboo windows can play the same role as glass?

"Xie Hong, you can't talk about it this time, right? Ben Hou's title is ...... "Zhang Heling's surname is indeed a bit two, and he doesn't remember his surname for a long time, he looked around a few times inside and out, and felt that he didn't think badly, and he laughed evilly."

It's just that this time no one talked about it, and no one echoed it, everyone else stared at Xie Hong to see what he did. The magical scenes they saw one after another made them feel uneasy, and when the final result came out, how could they dare to make assertions casually?

The first two are related to architecture, and the results are so wonderful, and now ...... You know, the plague god is most famous for these clever objects. Although the window looks inconspicuous and seems to be similar to a mullioned window, who knows what it actually is?

"Release! Open the window! Xie Hong let out a clear roar, directly interrupting Zhang Heling's smirk.

Someone next to him brought a water hose, and after a few movements, a water hose sprayed out and poured on the window. Then I heard a soft sound of 'swish', and the window also let in the light.

But...... Such a fenestration? Everyone was stunned, it turned out that the bamboo pieces were not spliced, but each piece was readable, and they didn't know what kind of mechanism they opened and closed.

Light can be seen through the gaps in the bamboo pieces, but the bamboo pieces that are turned outward are tilted downward, so that the water falling from above cannot enter the house at all.

"It's a brilliant design." Finally, someone shouted out out of shape.

"Is this a mullioned window? But it's not like it! Lord Xie, the villain dares to ask, what is the name of this window? The craftsmen were even more amazed, such a window, it was true that they had never thought about it, and they recklessly forgot their fear of Xie Hong, and asked him.

"It's called a blind." Xie Hong smiled faintly.

Speaking of which, this thing also originated in China. The straight one is called the mullioned window, and the horizontal one is called the mullioned window, and the building of the Ming Dynasty has many uses, but the shutters that can move freely are still shown in front of the world for the first time.

In the past, although some people had similar thoughts, so that the window lattices could be turned over to facilitate light and ventilation, now it is said that several famous craftsmen who came with them are famous architects, and they naturally know it. But knowing that they knew that they were still shocked when they saw Xie Hong's blinds.

Because when the blinds open and close, they are not flipped piece by piece, but the overall action, and they don't even need to be approached, and I don't see the position where the person inside is standing, is it still a few steps away from the window?

Sure enough, he is the first craftsman in the world, the idea is unique, and the craftsmanship is even more unique! All the craftsmen sighed to themselves, and some people were not convinced, but they were also like Zhang Heling just now, completely speechless.

"Blinds? Sure enough, it is bamboo pieces such as leaves, and shutters into windows, which is really an ingenious idea and exquisite craftsmanship, and it is really an eye-opener today. Someone exclaimed.

Xie Hong raised his eyes and saw that he had the impression of the person who gave out his admiration, but it was the head of the military department who behaved strangely at the court meeting, this person didn't talk much along the way, but he observed everything quite carefully, it seemed that he was not just watching the excitement, but also a little bit of observation and learning, which seemed to be very different among the civil officials.

It's just that Xie Hong doesn't have time to pay attention to an irrelevant person now, he turned his head and saw that Brother Zhang Heling was already as pale as dirt, but Xie Hong has never been a good person, and he will not have any sympathy for his enemies, and he repeated the old words: "Master Hou, 400,000 taels, you don't have to pay the bills, you must know, this official is not easy to mess with." ”

When they first heard this, the Zhang brothers were still a little angry, but when they heard it again, they were not angry at all, and their hearts were full of panic, just thinking about whether to go to Cining Palace to live for a few days, or to take refuge, it is not fun to owe money to the plague god, especially the plague god also put on a posture to be investigated, so terrible!
