Chapter 999: Buying a House in Kyoto
The blue waves are sparkling, the willow branches are curling, and there are many people on the uneven wasteland next to the Longqing Pond today. There are craftsmen in short clothes and soldiers in military uniforms, Yang Fan is pushed by Gu Zhuting, and he looks left and right all the way, which is very comfortable.
Judging from the traces left on the ground, there was originally a foundation here, and there should be several houses, and there is a fenced yard nearby, the yard is very large, and generally such a courtyard will be used by the owner as a vegetable field. However, because someone dug a well in Longqingfang and dug a spring, Zuihou turned into a lake with a radius of ten hectares, and the entire terrain here has changed because of it, and it has become tall and uneven.
The piece of land that Yang Fan bought included at least the area of the ten families who originally lived here, and you can also see several earthen walls that were originally separated from different homes.
An old man who was over half a hundred years old, with a bright spirit and a strong waist, greeted Yang Fan under the guidance of Ren Wei, and Ren Wei introduced to Yang Fan: "Ah Lang, this is Master Huang who is in charge of the house. ”
The old man smiled humbly at Yang Fan and said, "Old man Huang Yuanbao, the owner calls me Lao Huang." ”
Ren Wei said with a smile: "This Master Huang is unusual, he participated in the construction of Daming Palace with his master back then, and now he has inherited all the mantles of his master. ”
The old man smiled slightly, and added with a show off and reserved: "The old man and the family teacher are only responsible for the design and construction of the Penglai Pool in the Daming Palace, but they dare not say that it is the Daming Palace." ”
When Yang Fan first arrived in Chang'an, he had carefully walked through the palace several times, and he knew the situation everywhere very well.
All the buildings in the Daming Palace, with the most garden style of Penglai Pond, this group of palace buildings in the pond rockery is dotted. The pavilions and pavilions are uneven, and they are cleverly linked together with light and dark corridors, although the emperor has not returned to Chang'an in Luoyang for 20 years, the Chang'an palace has been in disrepair for a long time, and the garden also lacks repair, still giving people a beautiful feeling.
Hearing that this Master Huang was the craftsman who designed and built Penglai Pond, Yang Fan was naturally overjoyed, and was extremely relieved of his construction skills, Yang Fan immediately nodded and said, "Okay!" Yang's house, please ask Master Huang. ”
Huang Yuanbao said with a smile: "Lang Jun rest assured. The old man must go all out, and he must satisfy Lang Jun! ”
……
It was also by the Longqing Pond, but on the other side of the lake, Zheng Yu was holding a white-haired old man by the lake.
The old man is the old lady Zheng, although the major families have been evacuated one after another after learning that the emperor will move the capital to Chang'an. But it doesn't mean that they don't dare to appear in front of Wu Zetian, it's just that both sides are behemoths. It's like a lion and a leopard. Even if you don't fight as soon as you meet, it's always uncomfortable to get too close.
But now that such a big thing has happened in Chang'an, others either didn't have time to come, or they didn't realize that the situation was so serious at the time, but the eldest grandson of Mrs. Zheng was here to preside over the overall situation, and he still rushed over. Unfortunately, when he arrived, the dust had already settled.
Old lady Zheng stood still, her eyes subconsciously looking towards the island, but Zheng Yu was looking at the other side. After waiting for a while, Old Lady Zheng withdrew his gaze, and Zheng Yu said: "Taigong, that is the land that Yang Fan bought, and he wants to build a big mansion there." ”
Old Lady Zheng smiled and sighed softly.
Zheng Yu looked into the distance, from here he could only see some figures moving, he didn't know if Yang Fan was there, but he seemed to have seen Yang Fan, gritted his teeth and said: "Shen Mu is okay, after all, the Yin Sect was originally just a small branch under the Xianzong responsible for carrying out some shady things, and it is also his ability to be managed by him to this situation, I can't accept it!" But what is Yang Fan, if we didn't appreciate him, he would be nothing, but he dared to betray us, this time, we must let him know how powerful we are! ”
Old lady Zheng smiled again, her smile was still so calm and peaceful, but it was slightly bitter.
"Yu'er ......"
"Taigong!"
"If this person doesn't have any merit, do you think Shen Mu's shrewdness will choose to cooperate with him?"
Zheng Yu was stunned for a moment, and Old Lady Zheng sighed deeply and said, "Shen Mu is the most powerful young man I have seen over the years, but Yang Fan ...... I have always looked down on him, and all of us have looked down on him, and if it weren't for that, we wouldn't have treated him like this, and he might not have broken with us!
Shen Mu is like a sharp dagger, even if he hides it in the sheath, you know that when it is pulled out, it is meant to kill. And Yang Fan, like a steel needle hidden in the cotton, looks very soft, can be rubbed at will, he has no ability to harm at all, but if you pinch it too tightly, he will stab you fiercely! ”
Zheng Taigong coughed a few times, and sighed leisurely: "Without him, Shen Mu can't sing this play alone, and he still can't sing this play with Shen Mu alone, this ...... It's his Yang Fan's ability! ”
Zheng Yu said indignantly: "So what, if the seven sects and five surnames want to deal with him, it's not as simple as pinching an ant to death?" ”
Old lady Zheng frowned and said: "There are rumors in Beijing, saying that after the emperor moves the capital, he will let the Zhang brothers, who have made meritorious contributions to book repair, take charge of Kyoto's culture and education, have you heard?" ”
Zheng Yu said: "My grandson heard about it, but ...... This is ridiculous. Although Erzhang was born in a family, although he has the merit of cultivating books and establishing virtues, they are weak and crowned, what virtue can they teach Niu Er? ”
Old Lady Zheng said meaningfully: "If we insist on dealing with Shen Mu and Yang Fan, the second Zhang will definitely become a reality in charge of culture and education." This is a threat to us, and it can be regarded as a ...... A condition. ”
Zheng Yu said disdainfully: "My family Liliang is full of mountains and wilderness, and it is pervasive, and I can't deal with them?" ”
Old lady Zheng looked at Zheng Yu, who was still unconvinced, and sighed secretly, and a strange thought suddenly arose in her heart: "weishenme My grandson will be so stupid?" If people like Shen Mu or Yang Fan, even if only one of them is a child of my Zheng family, how good it would be! ”
……
Huang Yuanbao participated in the design and construction of palace buildings, and he is also a master figure in the construction industry, but he has no status in front of officials. He nodded and accompanied Yang Fan to the east and west, and he couldn't see the appearance of a master at all.
But in terms of architecture, Master Huang has his own hills and ravines in his chest after all, and he just looks at them at random. He had a complete idea. Yang Fan listened to him casually, and gradually sketched the appearance of a delicate and luxurious mansion in his heart, a stinky ditch is a gurgling spring under Master Huang's planning, and a small earthen bag is a pavilion with eaves and arches, which is quite a bit of iron into gold.
Yang Fan nodded frequently, turned his head and smiled at Gu Zhuting: "What do you think of this Master Huang?" ”
Gu Zhuting said admiringly: "Master Huang is really a great master builder, and the slave family can't wait to see Ah Lang's new mansion." ”
Yang Fan glanced at her with a smile and said, "Do you want to see the new house, or do you want to see your new yard?" ”
Gu Zhuting's face turned red, and she glanced at him delicately. There is no hitching. Yang Fan smiled and said to Huang Yuanbao: "Master Huang, I heard that several of your disciples have already left the school, and there are still a few houses next to me, so I will hand them over to your disciples." Rise up with you! ”
Yang Fan waved his hand, and his mansion was on the side of the lake. The other three sides are included. Huang Yuanbao was surprised and delighted. He said in a continuous voice: "Make, make, Lang Jun rest assured, the old man will immediately ask someone to find them." ”
Gu Zhuting was surprised: "Lang Jun has bought all the surrounding land?" ”
Yang Fan said: "Otherwise, where does your family live?" ”
Gu Zhuting's heart warmed when she heard this, and her eyes were a little red. Huang Yuanbao is old and fine. At the beginning, I thought that this pretty woman was just a servant girl of this seemingly indescribable big man, and when I heard their words, I knew that she must be a first-class concubine, and she was also respectful to Gu Zhuting at the moment.
Yang Fan called Huang Yuanbao aside. Specially instructed him to build a few secret passages and secret rooms, and generally large families have the habit of building secret passages and secret rooms, Huang Yuanbao hurriedly kept Yang Fan's detailed requirements in mind.
Ahead came a high slope, about two acres in circumference, and the top was lush and full of trees. Huang Yuanbao said: "This place is simple, neither steep, nor surprised, it is not appropriate to take it as a mountain or a mountain, Lang Jun should not buy this piece, if you want to move the soil and level the land, I am afraid that it will be too labor-intensive." ”
Yang Fan shook his head and said: "No, you can't build a lot of construction here, just make a little trimming according to this terrain, clean up all the miscellaneous trees and weeds, transplant more exotic flowers and plants, rare tree species, and plant laurel trees in the center of the mound." ”
Huang Yuanbao was stunned and said: "Lang Jun, if there is not much construction here, it will be difficult to get rid of the humble atmosphere, and I am afraid that it will not match Lang Jun's entire mansion." ”
Yang Fan smiled, looked at the lush woods, and vaguely seemed to see the girl who was as graceful as a fairy, he nodded lightly towards the woods, and said to Huang Yuanbao seriously: "This is the taste!" ”
……
Lichun Terrace, from under the stepping stones, step by step up, cross the high threshold, enter the splendid hall, and then pass through the golden pillar of the dragon with a thick hug, bypass the eighteen screens, turn into the inner hall, all the way all the eunuchs and palace ladies are kneeling on the ground in the direction of the palace, and the atmosphere does not dare to breathe.
In the inner hall, on the carpet of red velvet flowers, Shangguan Wan'er knelt down, and Fu Qingqing, who was standing on the side, looked worried.
The inner hall is hung with gauze on all sides, and the sunlight shines through the double-layer gauze lattice window, reflecting the complex and gorgeous patterns on the carpet, and the whole inner hall is transparent and bright, but this bright light cannot illuminate the gloomy face of Wu Zetian who is sitting behind the imperial case.
Wu Zetian said angrily: "I have great expectations for you, I can't imagine that you would do such an ugly thing!" Wan'er, you've disappointed me so much! ”
The more Wu Zetian spoke, the more angry he became, and he suddenly grabbed the armor knife on the case, and threw it at Xiangshang Guan Wan'er!
