Chapter 158: The Attempt (Fifth Update)
The study room behind the main courtyard of Hushan is an exquisite small courtyard covering an area of 300 square meters, which belongs to Zhu Daolin's personal use.
There is a ten-meter corridor at the entrance of the courtyard and is connected with the two-storey main house, the south of the small courtyard is the east garden where Pei Ruyan and others live, the north is separated by a plum forest is the backyard where the people live, the east wall is separated by the craftsman residential area of the printing workshop, and the basement is extremely private below the study.
Therefore, this small courtyard has become the most elegant and quiet place in the entire Hushan main courtyard.
Before the time passed, the night breeze was bone-chilling, Zhu Daolin stood in the dark back study living room, quietly experiencing the strange feeling brought by the King Kong Qiankun circle.
Although he had already realized that whether it was Jinling 500 years ago or Nanjing 500 years later, as long as he had been to a place where he had been, he could rely on the magical power of the King Kong Circle to shuttle freely, but this time from a small deserted island in the south of bustling Hong Kong, carrying 120 boxes of a total of 12 tons of silver back to the quiet Hushan Manor was Zhu Daolin's first bold attempt.
He was delighted with the results and gave birth to many bolder ideas.
To his slight regret, each magical move had to be performed within two hours in the middle of the night, and the rest of the hours had no effect, and the next departure had to be more than three days apart.
Despite this, Zhu Daolin was already very satisfied.
The weather of Chongzhen five years is very strange, there is no spring thunder on the day of the sting after the Lantern Festival, the weather is cold like winter when it rains and is sunny, until the spring dragon festival in February of the lunar calendar, the weather still does not warm up, the people in the north and south of the river have already completed the spring ploughing, but they dare not sow seeds, and several trees of more than 20 years old are transplanted in front of the back study, so far they do not spit out new shoots, and the hoarfrost condensed on the grass stalk and low-lying places can still be seen every morning.
Now. Zhu Daolin's every long breath brought out a cloud of white mist, and with the help of superhuman eyesight and perception, he didn't need to light a candle to see the empty study clearly.
Considering that although the large secret room under the study has been completed, the reinforcement of the two large and two small four secret rooms connecting the underground of the backyard and the secret passage leading to the Tiger Mountain in the rear is still in progress, Zhu Daolin can only transfer out 120 wooden boxes containing 12 tons of silver and pile them on the wall on the inside side of the study. Ten large cardboard boxes of precious books are placed on the top layer of the wooden box.
After everything was arranged, Zhu Daolin took out the full set of "Atlas of Chinese Herbal Medicine" specially placed on the top layer of the first large cardboard box, and carefully closed the sliding door of the study.
In Zhu Daolin's mind, the value of ten boxes of books is far more than 12 tons of silver paper.
Zhu Daolin carried a full set of books wrapped in a tablecloth in one hand, walked through the living room with all his belongings, came to the back of the door, and found that the outside of the door was locked and could not be opened, so he had to move to the south floor-to-ceiling window, open a glass-inlaid Nanmu lattice window and drill out. Walk to the hexagonal pavilion in the small garden that connects to the promenade, enter the promenade, and return to the main house where you live.
Xia Yuying, the housewife of Hushan Main Courtyard, has the habit of getting up early, and every day is the first time the rooster crows to get up, but today is very different from the past, as soon as she opened the quilt and sat up, she saw her beloved man sitting cross-legged on the wool carpet in the center of the bedroom, so frightened that she almost couldn't control her screaming.
"Haha. I knew my shadow wasn't that timid. Zhu Daolin had already stood up and smiled while stretching his limbs.
The sluggish little shadow hurriedly moved to stay. Jumped into Zhu Daolin's arms like a bird, and before he could make love, he was startled by the fluffy feeling coming from under his feet.
Zhu Daolin held Xiaoying's waist and reached out to stroke the head of the police dog Mulan: "Look at you, it's not good to rest with such a big belly, why do you have to follow me?" Go back, go back to your room. ”
Mulan, who accompanied Zhu Daolin to sit quietly for most of the night, was very obedient. rubbed Zhu Daolin's leg with his head and left.
Xiaoying hugged Zhu Daolin's neck and lied with jealousy: "Mulan only listens to her husband's words, and only I can shout when you are not at home, but it never treats me like you, and others ignore it." Even Sister Xu and Sister Ruyan gave it food, but it didn't care about it, it was even more arrogant than everyone else. ”
Zhu Daolin: "Don't force it, Mulan is an excellent police dog that has been specially trained, with a high intelligence and human nature, completely different from other dogs, and after it gives birth to a puppy, you can pick one to raise yourself, and then you will understand how loyal it is." ”
Xiaoying nodded obediently: "Second Uncle Gu said that Mulan was about to give birth to a puppy, I was worried that it would be frozen, so I added a small quilt to it yesterday and spread it on its small wooden bed, it seems to like it...... How did you get back? Didn't you say you were going to go for half a month? ”
"Things have changed a little, I'll come back and prepare first, by the way, don't let people go to my back study, until I give permission, no one is allowed to go in except you, and don't clean it every day, I put some important things in it, remember?" Zhu Daolin reminded.
Xiaoying nodded solemnly: "The concubine will change her clothes first, and explain it immediately, otherwise those diligent little girls will have to clean up again." ”
Zhu Daolin hugged his beloved woman and kissed him: "I suddenly had an idea, at the end of the back study corridor and the courtyard wall, build a bigger and more comfortable wooden house for Mulan, where the wind is sheltered and quiet, it will be much safer to have Mulan help me look at the back study, you help me explain to the next person to do it, haha!" ”
"I'll go to the master and uncle, breakfast will be eaten at the master's place, today I will inspect the major workshops with Brother Monshan, and I will accompany you well when I come back in the evening, okay?"
Although Xiaoying was reluctant, she understood her man very well, and after meekly responding to Zhu Daolin's affection, she nodded shyly and went out.
Xuanqing Daoist, who was practicing in the courtyard, also did not expect his beloved disciple to come back suddenly, and saw Zhu Daolin enter the courtyard gate with a set of beautifully packaged books, Xuanqing Daoist quickly put away the gong rack, took the hot towel sent by the little Taoist boy, wiped the sweat beads on his forehead, and asked the beloved disciple who came to the front to salute respectfully: "Are you back so soon?" ”
"There's been a change in the schedule, and I have to go out in two days." Zhu Daolin patted the full set of books on his hand: "Tianshu Pavilion sent someone to send this set of atlases, I have seen it roughly, and I think it is very good." ”
Daoist Xuanqing immediately came to his senses: "Take it, follow me into the house, I'll wash my hands and look at it again, it's not good in case it gets dirty." Jade Cicada, go and call your master, second uncle, and fifth uncle together, and tell the dining room to make more and send them over. ”
"Yes, Master."
Xiaodao Tong Yucicada, who was less than ten years old, saluted in a similar manner, and saluted respectfully to his senior brother Zhu Daolin, his shy little face flushed, and he ran away without straightening his waist, making Zhu Daolin laugh.
