Chapter 260: Double Happiness Comes to the Door
The Xie family spent a lot of money to build the Gongchuan villa, after all, this is another courtyard where the Xie family may live permanently in the future, and the Xie family's An Yixuan has also made a lot of money in recent years, and it is completely able to deal with it calmly.
Lu Tong is also a very good person, he found the Lan/Tian County Order, and bought a large area of land on both sides of the Gongchuan River.
When the scholar of the Hongwen Pavilion of the Dynasty, the head of the Jin Dynasty's mansion, bought land in the ravine, and the Lan/Tian County Order had no reason to disagree. In particular, the local people all agreed and were willing to sell and transfer their own land, and the county order was naturally happy to see it come true.
The Xie family gave the local residents a generous compensation, and the money could be used to buy property in Chang'an City, or buy more land in suburban counties such as Wugong and Gao/Ling, and settle down, and the people had no reason to refuse.
In addition, in order to build a courtyard, the Xie family also deliberately built a wide road, which is now convenient for transporting building materials and stones, and convenient for travel in the future.
What surprised Lan and Tian the most was that the road was not a stone road, but it was stronger than the stone slabs, and it was said that something called cement was used.
For this reason, the Lan/Tian County Order also went to observe the black, like the powder of crushed stones, mixed with fine sand and water, and then tamped the roadbed, leveled on it, and after solidification and drying, it was extremely hard.
At this time, Lan/Tian County Ling was amazed, what kind of building material is this, the method is very special, it can be called turning decay into magic.
He soon discovered that the Xie family had also adopted this method in the construction of the annex, such as the small building that was several stories high and built on the road to enter the courtyard.
It is said that it is a watchtower, and you can observe the surrounding road and water, preventing people from easily approaching and sneaking into the courtyard.
It is said that not only cement but also so-called concrete was used in the construction of the wall. Something similar to a mesh of iron rods and iron bars was added to it.
There was originally a river in the Gongchuan River, which was also cut off by the Xie family, and a dam was built in the middle. If a dam is built on an ordinary river, the government will definitely interfere and strictly manage it.
None of them. The fear is that if the dam fails, a large amount of water will flow down the mountain, and the villages downstream will be threatened, and the destruction of land, crops and houses will be a major matter, especially if people die.
But the Xie family's embankment, after Lan/Tian County sent someone to inspect it in detail, there was no need to worry about it at all.
The huge rocks serve as the foundation of the embankment. The pile was wide and stable, and then the so-called concrete was poured and the movable gates were left.
According to the steward of the Xie family, when there is a flood, the Xie family will close the floodgates to store water to avoid flooding downstream. In a drought year, the gates are opened for irrigation downstream.
Such a good thing to build water conservancy. Lan/Tian County couldn't find a reason for opposition, and more importantly, the Xie family didn't let them pay a penny. gave them such a big achievement for nothing, and it was too late to thank them.
In view of this, Lan/Tian County gave great convenience and help to the Xie family in the process of building the annex, and the construction period could be so fast.
It's just that the Xie family has never confided in the production and use of cement and concrete, and the Lan/Tian County Order has asked several times to no avail. It is said that only his own Ah Lang knows and has the right to dispose of it.
Lan/Tian County Ling suddenly knew in his heart, he had long heard that Huaiyang County Bo Qi had wonderful ideas, and there were often novelties, but now it seems that it is true. However, it is precisely because of this that it should not be easily leaked. If you want to explore, you have to find a way to find Xie Yi himself, if you can dedicate this method to the Ministry of Industry and the imperial court through yourself......
Then many construction projects will be easily solved, at least much easier, not to mention the construction of roads and bridges, the most important thing is the city wall.
Using this method, the walls built are definitely much stronger than those of rammed earth masonry, and they are definitely impregnable. When the time comes, Master Xie, who has researched this method, will make a great contribution, and the person who recommended the treasure to the imperial court will naturally have merit.
Lan/Tian County Ling made up his mind in his heart, and Bachelor Xie built his own courtyard in Gongchuan, which may be a good opportunity to fall from the sky. Therefore, it is necessary to grasp it, and everything related to the Xie family must be done with all your heart.
Now an annex covering an area of hundreds of acres appears in the Rim River, pavilions and pavilions, courtyard buildings have everything, the original trees in the local area are also preserved as much as possible, it can be described as green trees, lush, beautiful scenery.
The most brilliant thing is the clear water of the river stored by the embankment, and there is a huge Hubo in the middle of the valley, and some of the high ground has become a small island in the lake. The construction of some stone bridges and small pavilions in it is simply unique and ingenious.
When they first entered the other hospital, Du Xijun, Zheng Liwan and others were shocked, and they were a little impulsive. The maids and servants who came with them were also pleasantly surprised, and this place was much better than that in Chang'an City. Especially in summer, the mountains are already cool, and the gentle breeze blows from the lake, bringing a little moisture and coolness, which is extremely comfortable.
Now that I think about it, the only thing that can barely be compared with this place in Chang'an City is Qujiangchi Furong Garden, which means that the Rim River Villa is comparable to the enjoyment of the royal family, and even too much.
The only ones with sad faces are Yebei and others, the scenery is picturesque, and the living is comfortable, yes, but the whole courtyard is too big, and the guards are a big problem!
Although there are high walls, watchtowers, and even the entrance to the water in the courtyard are equipped with iron fences, so it is certainly no problem to stop ordinary people, but if the Assassin has the heart, it is still possible to sneak in.
So, security is still a big issue.
This Xie Yi didn't ask too much, his subordinates would definitely be able to do it, this time he mainly took his family around to look around the house, and he felt a little bit like entering the Grand View Garden for the first time.
The main building complex of the Rimchuan villa is very large, and there are more than 10 residences arranged for the owner alone, and if there are many female dependents, it is very convenient to live in separate rooms.
However, the Xie family is now limited in population, so it is mainly a centralized living model, such as Xie Yi first took his two wives to live in Nanxun Pavilion.
This place is right on the edge of the lake, and it is the coolest and most comfortable to live in summer, while Wu Erniang and Xiaoman live in the Wanghu Tower on the side.
Wu Erniang's sullen Xie Yiquan saw it in his eyes, and persuaded him a few times, but it didn't work very well. Seeing this, Xie Yi didn't say much.
On the one hand, take her out to relax, and then wait, waiting for the situation to change. When the time comes, she will naturally be able to let go of the knot.
Maybe it was because the valley was quiet and the scenery was pleasant, or because she was in a relaxed mood when she saw Xie Yi, Wu Erniang's mood was also relaxed a lot.
Seeing this scene, Xie Yi was also relieved.
Every day, I take my family to the mountains and rivers and boat on the lake. lived a leisurely life as a race immortal. Of course, at night, you have to fight for the great cause of inheriting the Xie family's incense.
Before setting off from Chang'an, Du Xijun and Zheng Liwan specially went to visit Sun Simiao and got back a lot of tonic medicines. He even brought back some for Xie Yi, which was said to be prepared by Sun Shenxian as a tonic for men's physical fitness.
Xie Yiyuan himself was strong and strong, so he didn't need these originally, but he couldn't bear Sun Shenxian's kindness. The most important thing is the attitude of the two ladies, forcing Xie Yi to take it.
And so it goes. makes people look like sick numbers, especially in this special aspect, Xie Yi is inevitably a little depressed.
But he couldn't stand the idea of the two ladies begging for a son, so Xie Yi had no choice but to obey. Not to mention, Sun Simiao's medical skills are really not covered, such solid foundation and strong medicine can really be effective after taking it for a while.
At night, the bed in the Nanfu Pavilion shook for a longer time. There are also some special sounds that blend with the sound of water waves. Form a chic serenade.
In this way, it was not until the beginning of July that Xie Yi finished swimming in the lake one day and returned to the house in Nanxun Pavilion, only to find that Du Xijun was still asleep.
Zheng Liwan, who had just returned from teaching poetry to Xiaoman, was also a little surprised, and wondered: "Sister Xijun seems to be quite sleepy these days, isn't it because she is tired at night?" That's not right......"
Xie Yi also agrees. In the past few days, Du Xijun has always been confused, and he doesn't seem to be very comfortable at night, so he went to bed early, and Zheng Liwan is the main one who shares the bed.
Therefore, it should be Zheng Liwan who is tired, or because of the hot weather. It is also possible to snooze when the heat is too heavy. It's just that Du Xijun's degree of snooze and lazy attitude are really a bit ......
"Somehow, I've been feeling tired these days, and I don't have much energy and my appetite is not good." Du Xijun, who was awakened by Xie Yi and Zheng Liwan, got up and complained while rubbing his eyes.
Hearing Du Xijun say this, Xie Yi's brows suddenly moved, and a thought came to his mind, and gradually enlarged.
"Xijun, have you come from that month this month?"
Hearing Xie Yi's question, Du Xijun was stunned, and Zheng Liwan was also surprised, obviously they all thought of something.
"No ......" Du Xijun's voice trembled slightly, and a very complicated emotion came to his heart, some surprises, but he couldn't believe it.
Zheng Liwan said happily: "Sister Xijun, it looks like you ......"
"No, it's impossible, Immortal Sun said that my body needs to be conditioned for two or three years, and now it's only been more than a year." Du Xijun shook his head again and again, although he was looking forward to it, he still couldn't believe it.
"Don't say anything, just find a doctor and find out." Xie Yi waved his hand, making the two ladies stop their unnecessary speculation.
Du Xijun subconsciously stroked his lower abdomen, his expression suddenly became a little nervous, and a strong joy was about to float to his heart, but it was very dignified, lest he rejoice in the air.
"Sister, wait, the doctor will come in a while, according to my sister's state, most of them are happy pulses." Zheng Liwan smiled and comforted Du Xijun.
"I hope so!" A faint smile flashed at the corner of Du Xijun's mouth, and he lowered his head and waited quietly.
The doctor came quickly, this person's name is Chen Miaoshou, who is a well-known doctor in Luozhou, and was invited to Chang'an by Lu Tong with a lot of money to become a full-time doctor in Bofu, Huaiyang County.
Although there is Sun Simiao, Sun Shenxian cannot be permanent, and he has a headache and brain fever on weekdays, and Chen Miaoshou usually asks for consultation and prescribes medicine. This time, Huaiyang County Bofu can be said to have come to the Gongchuan villa, and in the mountains and wilderness, it is natural to need a doctor to accompany him.
Therefore, Xie Yi's order was conveyed, and Chen Miao's hand came quickly, and he heard that Mrs. Du was unwell, so he immediately went to check the pulse.
After a while, Chen Miao's eyebrows moved, and he quickly stood up and bowed: "Congratulations to Ah Lang, congratulations to Mrs., Mrs. Du is happy." ”
Du Xijun's external identity is a widow, if someone else diagnoses a widow who is happy, he will definitely be hesitant, not confident or afraid to say it.
But Chen Miao's medical skills are good, he has this self-confidence, and he has no worries about not daring to say it.
Although the Xie family did not explicitly say Du Xijun's identity, everyone in the house felt it, and most of them had it in their hearts. In the past two months in the Gongchuan Villa, Mrs. Du is pregnant, in addition to being Bachelor Xie's, can she be someone else?
It was impossible to contact outsiders, and none of those servants and guards had entered the Nanxun Pavilion at all, and they definitely didn't have the courage and possibility, so the facts speak for themselves.
Hearing this, Du Xijun was suddenly pleasantly surprised: "Is it true?" ”
"Seriously, Mrs. is almost two months pregnant, the pulse is stable, the mother and child are safe, please rest assured."
When Du Xijun heard this, he gently stroked his lower abdomen, and there was too much indescribable joy on his face.
Xie Yi was also quite surprised, although he didn't care about it before, but when he suddenly heard that he was going to be a father, this mood was really complicated.
Not only the joy of being a first-time father, but also because of his unique background, having a child will seem more real and have a real connection with the world.
"Mr. Chen, then bother you, you will live in this Gongchuan villa for a long time, in order to cherish your baby."
"Ah Lang rest assured, he will definitely do his best." Chen Miaoshou knew that before Du Xijun gave birth, he couldn't leave. As soon as there are people around who need doctors, there must also be reasons for secrecy, if Xie Yi admits his relationship with Du Xijun.
He understands this truth, he is also a tight-lipped person, there are too many secrets in the wealthy family, if you can't keep your mouth shut, it will be a disaster. What's more, the Xie family treats him well, and this little thing can be done.
"Congratulations to Saburo, congratulations to my sister!" Zheng Liwan hurriedly said hello.
Du Xijun, who was in surprise, suddenly looked up at Zheng Liwan, as if she was a little embarrassed, she kept thinking that she was not in good health, and counted on Zheng Liwan to add Ding to the Xie family earlier, but she didn't want to be the first step ahead, so she was inevitably a little embarrassed.
"Sister Liwan......"
"Sister, don't be careful, you have good news, and I won't be far away." Although she said so, Zheng Liwan was still a little apprehensive. Du Xijun is pregnant, which means that Xie Yi is in good health, if he can't get pregnant, then the problem must be on his side.
Du Xijun said softly: "Sun Shenxian's medicine has been used up, why don't you ask Mr. Chen to cut the pulse again and prescribe some tonic medicine?" ”
"Good!" Zheng Liwan did not refuse, and Chen Miaoshou immediately stepped forward to cut the pulse.
After a while, a strange expression appeared on Chen Miaoshou's face, and he leaned over and said, "Congratulations Madam, congratulations to Ah Lang......"
"Mr. Chen, what do you mean? Could it be ......" Zheng Liwan's expression was a little stiff, which was very similar to Du Xijun's expression before.
"Yes......" Chen Miaoshou didn't say much, just nodded to explain the problem.
The big problem that plagued the inheritance of the Xie family's incense has been solved, and if you don't come, it's just that, and if you come, it's double happiness! (To be continued.) )
