Chapter 10: Xiangshan Annex
I didn't make any preparations for coming out this time, but Mama Zhao, Hongyin, and Green Willow around the Guerjia clan were brought out, Mama Gao and Chunyu Qiushi around Xin Yao were also brought out, and a few people from the Guarjia clan who were married were brought up to be one of the stewards, Steward Zhao, and more than 20 escort families. With three or four cars in a row, it's a big team.
On the way, considering that Guerjia was pregnant, the carriage moved forward slowly.
Xiangshan is located in the northwest suburbs of the capital, is a particularly beautiful place, heavy peaks, the water flow of the high mountains and deep streams is like a waterfall flowing straight down, the stream is flowing endlessly in the high mountains and valleys, coupled with the lush and clumps of trees by the stream, creating a unique water town in the south of the Yangtze River, which makes people forget to return.
Along the way, Xin Yao lifted the curtain to see the scenery outside, although she also came out last time, but that time she only saw the bustle of people coming and going on the street, but this time she really saw the ancient landscape scenery.
Looking from afar, there is both the majesty of the northern landscape and the softness of the water town in the south of the Yangtze River, although it is not as good as the modern artificial scenery, but there is a feeling of natural carving.
Xin Yao only felt that this beautiful scenery was really charming, and there was fresh air that was not available in modern times, and the smell of mountains and rivers was full of every breath, which really made people feel calm.
"Eniang, it's really worth the trip to come out and see such a beautiful scenery this time," Xin Yao said.
"You, you!" Guerjia knew that Xin Yao was comforting herself, and said that this trip was going out to play, and she was not happy all the time, otherwise she would have lost the child's interest.
"Yes, it's so beautiful" Guerjia looked out, the layers of mountain peaks, majestic and magnificent, the top of the mountain was shrouded in clouds and mist, fascinating, unconsciously, Guerjia's heart gradually calmed down, beautiful things always have a special charm.
"I heard Mama Zhao say how beautiful Zhuangzi is, and now I am fortunate to follow Fujin, the girl has seen it once, and the slaves and maids have been looking forward to it for a long time." Hongyin, who was waiting with the car, saw that the master's expression was relaxed, and hurriedly took out a few snacks from the carriage drawer on the side, which was still brought by Mama Zhao in a hurry, for fear that the master would be hungry on the road, so she hurriedly made tea, and saw that Guerjia's eyes were closed and recuperated, so she hurriedly took out a small quilt and pillow, so that Guerjia's could lie more comfortably, and gently pinched her legs.
The car was long, and even the best scenery was visually tired, so Xin Yao looked tired, so she quietly moved her position, and saw that Guerjia was already asleep, and she was half-lying down to rest.
"You also know the Zhuangzi of Xiangshan?" Xin Yao asked Chunyu softly, and when they talked about Zhuangzi just now, she asked.
"How do the slaves know, just now the slaves and maids pestered Mama Zhao a few words." The spring rain whispered back.
"In the past, many of the fruits used in our house were produced in this village, and I heard other minions say that there are many fish ponds planted with lotus, if only they came in summer, the poetry slave of the blue leaf lotus is not red has not felt it."
Xin Yao shook her head and chuckled, I really didn't expect this girl to have the sour feelings of this poet, she was really speechless.
Finally, when Xin Yao was about to go crazy, the carriage that had been working hard all day finally arrived at its destination before sunset.
After getting off the carriage, I looked at a village in the fields at the foot of the mountain, and there was not much but smoke rising from the cooking.
"Look, that's our Zhuangzi." Far away, Guerjia pointed it out to Xin Yao.
"The fertile land is only forty acres, but the mountain behind the Zhuangzi, plus the hills next to the fruit forest all belong to the village, I remember that when I bought it, it was still wasteland, and now it is full of fruit trees, but unfortunately we came at the wrong time", Guerjia shook his head and said regretfully.
The construction of Zhuangzi is not like the specifications of the house in the capital, the garden style is finely carved, the step changes the scene, the size is about ten acres, but it is better than the surrounding green mountains and fruit forests, the streams and rivers flow, although now there is no fruit, but there is a different flavor.
On the left side of the mountain, near the hills, there are two tall houses and three smaller houses, all of which are made of large pieces of limestone, which look more simple and sturdy, presumably the treasury of Zhuangzi. From the left and right sides of the staggered rows of houses between the cloud wall, winding out, and then ring to the front to build a gatehouse, open the gate on the Zhuangzi.
On the other hand, on the right side of the mountain, there are several blue-tiled houses with limestone walls, the house extends out from the foot of the mountain according to the terrain, and there are bamboo fences outside the house to do surrounding, chickens and dogs chase each other, it seems that it is the house on the Zhuangzi.
In the middle of these two rows of houses, one in front and two behind the character of the character Zhuang built three houses, the houses were planted with flowers and trees, only the pool was dug at the place where the water flowed, the lake stone was laid, and the short bridge fence and triangular pavilion were built around it. And because Zhuangzi is backed by the mountain, the ownership of the two mountains behind the village was also bought at the same time as the purchase of Zhuangzi, although the back wall was repaired when the Zhuangzi was repaired, but there were also the doors and the small lanes next to it leading to the back mountain, from the foot of the mountain to the trees of the village and the bushes faintly visible several pavilions and wooden houses for people to rest, strong and full of the honest and simple atmosphere of the mountain village people.
Because someone came to notify in advance, the gate on the Zhuangzi was opened early, and the head of the village also led people to greet the door.
The steward of this Zhuangzi is a person in a room brought out by the Guerjia clan from the Guarjia Mansion, and he is one of her companions.
"The slave asks for peace for Fujin, and asks for peace for Gege", Li Quan still wondered why he would come over at this time? Isn't there something going on in the house?
"Get up, I'll take Gege here to stay and relax, you don't need to worry too much", Guerjia knew that coming here at this time would definitely cause the minions to think wildly, so he said that he was just here to relax.
Although there will still be gossip even if she has explained at this time, she is not afraid, as for what is going on in the house, the Guerjia clan is too lazy to care now.
"The slave takes Fujin, let's rest in Gege," Li Quan looked at the tired look on his master's face, thinking that no matter what, he, a minion, only needed to serve his master well, and it was useless to think about anything else.
The dinner inside has been set up when I saw the Guerjia's carriage, and I saw that the dishes above were very eye-catching, including chicken stewed mushrooms, sour and hot Chinese cabbage, vinegared cabbage, braised rabbit meat, crucian carp and tofu soup... It may be that Zhuangtou has always inquired about Xin Yao's preferences, so the dishes on the table are Xin Yao's favorite food, crucian carp soup and chicken stewed mushrooms are for pregnant women to replenish their bodies, which seems to be practical.
After eating a delicious meal, Guerjia and Xin Yao went to rest separately, and the journey was tiring, although he had rested on the way, he was in poor spirits and had no other thoughts.
