Chapter 234: Concubinage (1)

Most of the design of Huan Mansion is from the hand of Huan Xuan, this man from the modern era in his previous life was quite envious of the chic and exquisite classical garden, and now to the Jin Dynasty thousands of years ago, there is wealth and power, naturally it is a long-cherished wish, and his talent will be brought into full play.

Hagi Niang and Zheng Yan walked along the carved corridor together, although there were guards behind them, it did not affect the two of them to enjoy this beautiful scenery.

In ancient times, we paid attention to "rare birds fly in front of the hall, and the beasts behind the hall", so the ornamentation on the cloister is mostly the theme of white cranes and birds, even the finches on the pillar are very exquisite, the wood does not know what kind of material it is, the color is black, the left phoenix and the right luan, inhabit among the flowers, cleverly embedded in both sides of the pillar, it is really extravagant and staggering. Even Hagi Niang couldn't help but stop and look at this ingenious design.

The house slave who was quite reused by Huan Xuan seemed to be accustomed to all this, and he didn't feel that there was anything worth lingering about, he glanced at Hagi Niang with disdain, but he didn't urge, just smiled and said: "The residence of the two girls is more exquisite, you don't want to be dazzled for a while." ”

The architectural style of the two Jin Dynasty is not particularly luxurious, not as poor and extravagant as the Sui and Tang dynasties, especially in the Jiankang Palace after the relocation of the capital, under the auspices of Xie An, it is a new repair, otherwise it is more simple and dilapidated.

Hagi Niang thought of this, and deliberately said to him: "I'm just curious, such exquisite craftsmanship, I'm afraid that the Sima royal family in the palace has not enjoyed it, if you let Your Majesty know that his courtiers' homes are even more extravagant than him, I don't know what he will think?" ”

The slave was proud to show off, but she couldn't help but feel nervous when she used words, so she could only look at him and said: "Walking through the little Feihong in front is the residence of the two of you, the girl will see if you like it first, if you are not satisfied, tell me that is, I will order someone to rearrange it." ”

Hagi Niang stopped and stared when she heard this, and sure enough, on the lotus leaves in front of her, an arched covered bridge with a similarity of more than 99% to the Feihong Corridor Bridge in the Humble Administrator's Garden in Suzhou was built across the water. And its decorative style is more simple, the 10,000-character railing seems to be made of bamboo tubes, the length is dripping green, the most rare is the same thickness, obviously it is carefully selected from the bamboo section to build.

This Huan Xuan is really able to toss at home, Hagi Niang can't help but secretly admire, if he has such a big power, I'm afraid that he can also think of designing some beautiful clothes and jewelry to enjoy, how can he be so ingenious.

Seeing that they were really stunned by this unique Feihong Covered Bridge, the slave was even more honored, and introduced earnestly: "This was personally ordered by my master to build, and even the craftsmen who built the yard were amazed, saying that they had never seen such a design. At that time, my master was not even crowned. ”

Even if he didn't say it, Hagi Niang knew that it was designed by Huan Xuan himself.

Isn't that right, even in modern times, a thousand years later, this is the most impressive view of the Humble Administrator's Garden.

In terms of wealth, the Xie family may not be inferior to the Huan family, and it is even very likely to be richer than the Huan family, but in terms of carved walls and bead windows, even in the Jiankang City of the Six Dynasties, the Huan family is afraid that they are among the best, and the Xie family cannot be compared with it at all.

Before everyone had crossed the covered bridge, a handsome girl wearing silk shoes and a silk dress hurriedly came and said to the slave in a commanding manner: "The master mother said, let you bring the sister-in-law who is going to take the concubine ceremony today to her for a look." ”

The slave hurriedly said to Haginiang and Zheng Yan: "Since the master mother is invited, you can go over." ”

Zheng Yan was certainly happy in her heart, and hurriedly agreed to walk out, but Hagi Niang said coldly to the house slave: "I will never do any concubine ceremony today, and besides, you also heard your master's order just now, he didn't say that I was going to see any master mother, are you going to disobey your master's order?" ”

The cold chill in her eyes made the slave shudder, and she weighed it secretly, and said to the luxurious little girl with a smile: "Master Xu is only one of the Zheng family today, and my sister will take her to see the master mother first, and when I saw the master mother, my sister said that she was the only one." ”

Everyone in this house is afraid of the Liu family, doing more wrong, doing less wrong, so everyone would rather save trouble than toss something in front of her. Even Liu's own girl, after listening to this conversation, she only glared at Hagi Niang, and took Zheng Yan obediently.

The house slave and several maids behind him all looked at Zheng's elated appearance with pity eyes, this seemingly capable house slave seemed to be very afraid of the master's mother, and when he saw that they were far away, he took out a handkerchief and wiped his sweat, turned to Hagi Niang and said: "It's not that I'm protecting you, the master's order is naturally to be listened to." ”

Hagi Niang stretched out her hand into her arms, wanting to take out a few pieces of broken silver to reward him, but she was depressed to find that when she changed her clothes, she didn't bring anything with her, and she went out in a hurry, and she was taken away as soon as she went out.

She thought about it for a while, and replied with a smile: "I don't know what to call the steward?" I'll see Huan Lang later, and I'll mention to him that you're in a good position. ”

The slave did not hesitate to disobey the master's mother, naturally not to protect Hagi Niang, but to gain face in front of Huan Xuan, now seeing that although this young sister-in-law seems to be immature, she understands her thoughts very well, and she can't help nodding and saying: "The villain's name is Yuan Wei, just a second-class servant, he should not be called in charge, he dare not beg you to help, I just ask you not to make the villain miss the errand, so that it is enough." ”

But if you say, "It's not really ...... It's just ......", most of their minds are still on the "not ......", for example, some people like to say "it's not actually a question of money, but something or something", but in fact, in the final analysis, it is still a matter of money.

Hagi Niang is the best at guessing people's hearts, and now that people have even explained their professional titles, she can naturally understand the key to his words, and she took his words very obediently, and said seriously: "The most important thing to be a subordinate is to be loyal to the Lord, like you are honest and reliable, only to be a second-class servant is really condescending, sooner or later others have to call you Yuan Steward." ”

Yuan Wei was originally a personal servant by Huan Xuan's side, because he was good at speculating on the master's intentions, and he was flattering, Huan Xuan also praised him for his good errand, so he was transferred to the inner courtyard, which had the intention of promoting him.
