After visiting three shops, Father-in-law Xu had a feeling that the silver was not enough, fortunately this is what his daughter's family likes, it doesn't matter if he doesn't buy it, otherwise he is afraid that even the emperor will have to lose face, so he hurriedly went down the steps.

The steps up the stairs are still separated from the steps downstairs, and when you get to the first floor, you will see a beautiful fence, and there is a maid's handle at the door, which is specially checked for the token, and then you are allowed to enter the garden.

After two doors, I entered the Nanyuan, entered the Nanyuan, and the left prime minister found that the cactus was planted at the foot of the Nanyuan, and he was a little puzzled, and the maid introduced with a smile, "The Nanyuan is mainly used to greet everyone's ladies, and I am afraid that the unscrupulous people will climb the wall and come in, and plant these cacti, just in case." ”

The right phase is dripping with cold sweat, and all four or five meters are planted with cacti, if this person accidentally comes in, he must not pierce a thousand holes?

When they entered the garden, everyone's eyes lit up, it was a kind of amazement, shock, they thought that the most beautiful was the palace, compared with Nanyuan, it was a small thing.

The pavilions and pavilions are scattered, rockeries and strange stones, rare flowers, and even the road under your feet is extraordinarily brisk.

Piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and songs, female celebrity cooking......

A lady should be able to do it, and there are all of them here.

For example, in the piano garden, there are two violinists, who are the best in the world, and there is a room on the side that specializes in selling all kinds of pianos.

The maid smiled and introduced, "There are two famous teachers in charge, if you feel that your piano skills are not good, you can follow the learning, there are half a month, there is a month, there is half a year, it is considered to be a class teaching." ”

After visiting the Qin Garden, and then going to the Chess Garden, there are also two gentlemen in charge, because it is Nanyuan, both are female gentlemen, and they can also study with female gentlemen, and female gentlemen only recruit ten students at a time.

Book Garden, Painting Garden...... It's everyone.

There are even riding and archery events, and they are all open classes for apprentices. The maid told everyone, "Actually, there are four masters of all kinds, and they teach in shifts. ”

The more Emperor Wenyuan looked at it, the more he was amazed, this was a decent teaching. The rest is to play, throw pots, put paper kites, and all kinds of food, which is for everyone to eat when they are tired of playing and hungry, Emperor Wenyuan saw ice cream, fruit wine, all kinds of famous tea, flower tea.

After finding a gazebo and sitting down, the maid took the menu and asked Emperor Wenyuan to pick it.

In addition to these. There is also a large palace standing in the center of the lake, three stories high, the highest floor, with light veils.

While he was eating, suddenly a pleasant drum sounded sounded. In the distance, in the clearing, a number of big drums were erected at some point, and several girls were dancing at this moment.

There is no accompaniment, just the sound of shaking out with feet and shawls.

Soon, many people gathered around the drum, blocking Emperor Wenyuan's sight. I had to throw away half of the ice cream and step over.

Dancing gracefully, but without losing fortitude, when I went, I happened to see seven ladies bent over, head down. The silver bells on their feet are exposed, swaying gently, which is really pleasant to the ears and don't forget to pinch the cold sweat for them, don't bend your waist......

Gonggong Xu exclaimed, "It's the county lord of Jining." Earlier, I heard Princess Liuhua say that the county lord of Jining was training dance with six girls, and it turned out to be for Nanyuan to perform? ”

Zuo Xiang also nodded again and again, "This dance is extraordinary, it is even more amazing than the Seven Immortals Dance." ”

After the song, the seven girls bowed and saluted and drifted away, which actually made a group of young masters of the family haunted each other and asked each other who and whom.

As soon as the dance music was gone, an ethereal singing voice came:

The barren melody has not been played for a long time

The old strings tug at your fingertips

Sauvignon Blanc tears rippled in the dream

Plum blossoms fall in front of Taihu Lake stones

Don't climb tall buildings and gently look through the wind and cold

The lonely wild goose is gone, and he forgets to return

Ninety-nine double yang dogwood is inserted all over again

Ten years of dust and frost and falling leaves sighed silently

The peony of the new bath admires your face

Plum blossoms are dancing out of your delicateness

Those who know my heart go with the wind

How do the eight immortals across the sea spend their lives

……

The singing voice is so beautiful that it makes people stop, for fear of disturbing this rhyme singing, and even tiptoeing to see who can have such a beautiful singing voice?

Gonggong Xu saw that Emperor Wenyuan wanted to go, so he asked the maid to ask, and the maid was embarrassed, "That place is dedicated to everyone's ladies' play, and it is occasionally open to the young master of the family, and it is not open today." ”

Emperor Wenyuan frowned, Gonggong Xu knew that the emperor was not very happy, the whole world is not the king's land, there is no place that the emperor can't go to, but he shouted the emperor several times, this girl will not know, it must be the shelf of the prince of the county, the emperor is difficult to come out, how can I call the emperor to play today, and then said, "Shake the boat, go there and take a look." ”

The maid had no choice but to agree, and asked if they would like to go by boat or take the tunnel, Gonggong Xu glanced at the three-story building, sighed in admiration, and ordered to support the boat.

This lake is one-seventh full of lotus flowers, different varieties, so beautiful that people are amazed, look at the type, it is not less than the palace, Emperor Wenyuan glanced at Gonggong Xu, Gonggong Xu shrunk his neck, did not dare to speak.

After getting off the boat, Emperor Wenyuan looked up and saw the inscription on the plaque: Qianjiao Pavilion.

In front of the building, there are eight delicate-looking maids standing with their hands down, Ying Ying leaning over, and her voice is like a warbler crying in the hollow valley.

Gonggong Xu waited for Emperor Wenyuan to step forward, entered the first floor, and after sparing the screen of landscape beauties, he walked a few more steps, and his eyes suddenly opened up.

I saw a big bath in front of me, the white jade was repaired, the water was crystal clear, and there were a few petals floating on the surface of the pool, Xu Gonggong was puzzled, "This is not a hot spring, what is the use?" ”

The maid hurriedly replied, "The master named this pool as a swimming pool for the purpose of swimming in the water, for everyone to swim in the water." ”

Gonggong Xu frowned, usually everyone is in the water, how can they still hand over the water, so he laughed and talked with the maid, and the maid did not hide it, and said with a smile, "The master said that our Dayue girl is delicate, her shoulders can't resist, her hands can't lift, and the heaviest thing she usually holds may be the golden hairpin and jade ornament on her head. ”

Gonggong Xu nodded his head, this is a good point, seeing that the two maids over there hugged something and put it in the water, it was strange that the thing did not sink, "What is that?" ”

The maid hurriedly replied, "That's for water, and if you put it on it, it won't sink." ”

Zuo Xiang sighed and praised. "The idea is very good, it's just that this Qianjiao Pavilion is between the North and South Gardens, and everyone is here to drink water, in case someone breaks in. Isn't it a mistake for people's reputation? ”

The maid smiled, "Don't worry, Lord Zuo, Qianjiao Pavilion is built of stainless steel, as long as the doors and windows are guarded, no one can break in, and the window screens on the doors and windows are made of silk." ”

The sound of gasping came, and the left and right phases almost fainted, stainless steel, silk, this is too extravagant, right?!

Be impeached!

Emperor Wenyuan was also angry, and he had the idea of dismantling Qianjiao Pavilion to see how much steel and heavenly silk were used.

Out of the first floor. Step up to the second floor, the second floor is much more elegant, but there are some differences in the elegance, there are many tables and chairs, and jade brocade boxes are placed on them. Gonggong Xu stretched out his hand and took a look, and his eyes widened with curiosity, "This is?" ”

The maid blinked her eyes, and there was a smile at the bottom of her eyes, "This is called mahjong, for recreation." There's poker over there. ”

Father-in-law Xu is speechless, some of it is like gambling, but it is much more advanced than the gambling house, you can call for food, you can also shout and drink, no wonder you have to prepare authentic. If this is rowing, you can't sprinkle it, right?

There is nothing on the third floor, just a group of dancers dancing, giving people a high view.

In the distance, you can see the South Garden and the North Garden. The right minister rubbed his eyes, pointed to a red hydrangea in Nanyuan, and said with a smile, "This is throwing hydrangea to recruit relatives?" ”

The maid explained, "That's a game of keju." ”

The right minister's face was a little red, but he was not embarrassed, the things here were really novel, and he didn't know how much thought the princess had spent, so he couldn't help but say, "I will buy some sandalwood brands for a while, and everyone can learn from them, and they are all here." ”

Such a place must be loved by the ladies and ladies.

On the other hand, the North Garden is very different from the South Garden, and it is not particularly big, the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are symmetrical with the South Garden, but the style of the North Garden is strong, and the delicate and delicate of the South Garden is different, Emperor Wen Yuan waved his hand and said, "Go to the North Garden and take a look." ”

I went downstairs and propped the boat over.

Walked through the rockery path, admired the rare flowers, passed from the hand-copying verandah, entered the moon-shaped arch, and saw seven or eight horses galloping past in the square, led by Yuan Hao, Chu Pei and others, full of spirit.

Gonggong Xu was a little puzzled, so there is also a horse farm here, it is too wasteful, the maid explained, "No waste, there are hundreds of good horses in the stable, and horse races are held every ten days for the young masters of the world to play, the master said, there are not many people in my Dayue Dynasty who are good at riding horses, so it can inspire everyone." ”

Emperor Wen Yuan nodded, "It's really good!" ”

Walking further, it was the place where the men were jujuring, and seeing them snatching a ball, Emperor Wenyuan's feet were also a little itchy, and he couldn't wait to go on the court to play a game.

There is also a place to eat in Beiyuan, the place is elegant, and the restaurant reads: Forget to return to the building.

When I stepped in, I heard loud laughter from the second floor, "Sky blue, sea blue, cup by cup." ”

"There is no cloud in the sky and there is a drought in the ground, and the cup just now can't be counted."

Zuo Xiang frowned when he heard this, how could this voice be so familiar, and when he heard it again, but his own naughty son actually came to drink!

Seeing the right and the left, he frowned and laughed, "It seems that my own kid won't be able to find it in the future, so it's right to come here to find it." ”

The little servant stepped forward and said respectfully, "A few guest officers are invited in, are you dining downstairs or upstairs?" ”

Father-in-law Xu was puzzled, if he could come here, he couldn't come in if he didn't have a lot of money, why did he still go upstairs and downstairs, "What's the difference?" ”

The little servant replied respectfully, "The guests downstairs come and go, for fear of disturbing the cleanliness, the upstairs private room is elegant, but also more hidden, if you want to be near the water, you can also enter the inner courtyard, learn from the ancients." ”

When Emperor Wenyuan heard this, he became interested, "Then I will go to the inner courtyard for dinner." ”

The little guy hurriedly invited everyone to walk backwards, sparing the twists and turns of the bluestone floor, and suddenly opened up in front of him, gurgling water, verdant curtains, and fish in the water and happily waving their tails.

There are three pavilions in the backyard, which are reached by the fork in the road, just on the water of the stream, and you can eat in the pavilion or by the stream, which is really amazing.

Gonggong Xu looked at Emperor Wenyuan and said softly, "Your Majesty, do you eat together in the pavilion or by the stream?" ”

Emperor Wenyuan glanced at the left and right, with the two of them, they can play, unless the sun hits the west and comes out, it's almost the same, "Just use it in the pavilion." ”

The little servant waited on the side, and served the menu in a slippery manner, Emperor Wenyuan ordered seven dishes and one soup, and Gonggong Xu stood aside, his heart pounding. When Emperor Wen Yuan picked up a drink, he happened to see the first one: the feeling of heartache.

The price is not cheap, ten taels of silver.

Emperor Wen Yuan asked for a cup, and then gave the menu to the little guy. The little guy gave the menu to Zuo Xiang, Zuo Xiang was startled, the emperor was eating, he could only look at it, he shook his head busily, Emperor Wenyuan smiled, "Today, regardless of the monarch and minister, you can also sit down and pick some favorite dishes." ”

The two ministers were flattered, so hurry up and thank you. One person picked two dishes, asked for some wine and ice cream, and asked the little guy to go down and prepare.

Over there, two maids came over with tea sets, and a little maid came over with a piece of wood. The person who looked at it was novel, and when the wood was put on the table and the wine was put on the table, Gonggong Xu's eyes instantly lit up, "It's so convenient, turn around and eat, such a big table." You don't have to get up to pick up the dishes. ”

Then I saw that the maid took six handkerchiefs over, neatly stacked in a wooden box, and there were orchids embroidered on them, Xu Gonggong understood, this is used to wipe people's mouths, and the handkerchiefs are satin. A little staggered, "This is too extravagant, isn't it?" ”

The maid who had been talking all the way smiled lightly, "It's really extravagant, but it's essential." You can't let the guest officer go, the master is already developing the softest paper, which will be used instead of these handkerchiefs. ”

After speaking, the maid asked, "How many guest officers do you want to listen to the tune?" ”

Emperor Wen Yuan nodded, and the maid came over with a song list, and the price was clearly marked on the list, "Five taels of silver, five songs." ”

It's a tael of silver and a song.

Emperor Wenyuan ordered three tunes, the maid took it down, and soon someone came over with the piano, not in the pavilion, but by the stream, by the clear stream, there was the sound of the piano, accompanied by the beauty of the veil, and it felt a little fluttering.

Soon the food was served, the speed of serving the food was very fast, and soon Emperor Wenyuan tasted the feeling of heartache, looking at the clear appearance, the left and right ministers were still greatly praised, and when Emperor Wenyuan tasted it, his brows twisted, and Gonggong Xu was on the side, "Your Majesty, are you heartbroken?" ”

Emperor Wenyuan almost collapsed, "Ten taels of silver bought a glass of white water, who doesn't feel heartache?" ”

The left and right ministers lowered their heads, if they looked closely, they could find that the shoulders of the two were shaking, and they silently picked up the tea in front of them and drank it, and they were afraid that Emperor Wenyuan would be unhappy, so they just endured it.

Gonggong Xu hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, all of today's income is used for salary." ”

Emperor Wen Yuan's face was very good, and after Gonggong Xu tested the poison, he ate it and nodded again and again, "It's really good, it's not worse than the imperial dining room, and even better." ”

The left and right phases also praised again and again, thinking that they would have to buy tokens for a while, and they were only afraid that they would come often in the future, but this backyard could not afford it, the price was more expensive than the second floor, and a meal was more than 30 taels of silver!

Dining with great interest, a voice came from a distance, mellow as a spring, "The name of this Beiyuan doesn't seem to be loud enough, it doesn't seem to be a proper name, why don't you take one?" ”

There was a echoing voice, "It seems that I have waited for the king of Zhennan and the emperor to play, and waited for the two to give the name, this place is good, but it is too expensive." ”

"I think it's not bad, this place is not for ordinary people to come, I'm just a step late, the classes of the four chess masters are full, if I want to learn, I have to next month."

"Mine too, the piano master's piano lesson, it's my turn next month, it's only half a month, but it's worth it, we usually want to see them, but we can't see them."

"It is said that occasionally the minister of the court will be invited to give a lecture, I wonder if the king of Zhennan will be invited to teach the art of war?"

"Why not, the above said that the king of Zhennan will come to talk six times a year."

"If it weren't for the family's permission, I really wanted to learn medical skills, I didn't need to be tied, I didn't need to pay money, I could learn medical skills, and there were many places beckoning, there were thirty, divided into morning and afternoon, it was sixty."

Emperor Wenyuan listened, Zuo Xiang was also surprised, why the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting should be restrained, and if you don't want to study medicine, he asked the maid, and the maid didn't know, so he looked at the little guy, and the little guy smiled, "Studying medicine requires perseverance, and you have to follow Mr. to go up the mountain to collect medicine, and select benevolent and honest professors from among the poor children. ”

Zuo Xiang nodded, "What's the matter with asking the current minister to teach?" ”

"The students who came to study were all students who had never been officials in the court, and they admired the ministers of the world, so they asked them to tell the students about how to behave in the world, and teach them to serve the country and the people, and the master said that this was a lecture," the little girl finished speaking, and said, "I have invited the prince of the country to supervise the sacrificial wine, and Lord Chen will give a lecture on the fifteenth of this month." Tickets are already on sale. ”

Gonggong Xu was stunned and asked, "How much is an admission ticket?" ”

"It's not expensive, five taels of silver a piece. There are only two hundred, and such an opportunity may not be available twice a month. ”

Emperor Wen Yuan nodded, "It's really good, it's just right to hold it twice a month." ”

A quarter of an hour later, after lunch, the little guy asked them if they wanted to play a game, Emperor Wenyuan was in a good mood, so he fought with Zuo Xiang for a game, and after half an hour, he went out of the forgetting building and walked out. I heard Pei Ce stretch his arms and say, "After running a few laps of the horse, and then taking a comfortable hot bath, being pinched and rubbed by someone like that, it's really happy like a fairy." Ming'er returned, returned, returned ....... ”

"What else?" Zuo Xiang's face was solemn, and Pei Ce, who was frightened, didn't dare to come out, and secretly shouted unlucky, why did my father come, and he still accompanied the emperor.

Pei Ce hurriedly stepped forward to salute. Then he said, "We came from the bathroom just now, Your Majesty, do you want to take a bath?" ”

Zuo Xiang scolded nonsense, and Emperor Wen Yuan stopped him and said, "You might as well go and take a look." ”

Zuo Xiang glanced at his son. asked him to lead the way in front of him, and when he entered the desire building, the first floor was already full, so he went up to the second floor, and the water vapor was thick. There is also a faint fragrance, which makes people intoxicated.

The independent cubicle, a bath made of white jade, can accommodate four people in the foot class, and there is a dresser on the side, as well as a soft chaise longue, where a small servant waits.

Emperor Wenyuan felt good when he saw it, "We might as well take a bath with our monarchs and ministers today." ”

Father-in-law Xu felt that it was inappropriate, how could this be, the little servant said, "The innermost room is to divide the bath into two, and there is a three-part upstairs for the lords to choose." ”

This is good, then another room, the emperor used one, left and right to bathe in a pool, the little guy said, "After each guest bathes, the water will be replaced, and the bath will be cleaned, you can rest assured." ”

In this way, there is nothing to worry about, take off your clothes, and take a comfortable bath, although it is not a hot spring, the water can always maintain a temperature.

After soaking, the little guy helped them pinch their shoulders and beat their backs, and the comfortable three of them hummed, especially the pinching of their feet, which is called a comfortable one!

When they came out of the bathroom, it was already an hour later, they were refreshed, and their steps were brisk, and Gonggong Xu smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you can reward the old slave with a grace and let the slave come to soak in it." ”

Emperor Wen Yuan laughed when he heard this, "Reward! ”

Zuo Xiang stretched his brows, "The garden of the prince of the county is wonderful, although it is said to be used to pass the time of the young masters, but every place is inspiring people to make progress, just the pinching of the shoulders, I don't know what is painted on the back, the whole body is fragrant, there is no smell of sweat, and it also makes people's pores comfortable." ”

Gonggong Xu said with a smile, "Fang Cai inquired, it is medicine, but skin care to relieve fatigue, there are many options, it is said that there is a luxurious milk bath on the third floor, soak it out, tsk ......." ”

Emperor Wenyuan twisted his eyebrows and bathed with milk, which was too extravagant, and Gonggong Xu was unhappy when he saw Emperor Wenyuan, and said busily, "The milk is said to be bought from a different race, and it is sold in the shop in front, it is said that it tastes very good, drink a glass of meat and milk every morning, be healthy, better than eating bird's nest, and it is not expensive." ”

The smell of milk is strong, goat's milk and sheep smell, who likes to drink it?

Gonggong Xu said this, obviously he wanted Emperor Wenyuan to taste it, and the shop outside was for the public, and there was it in the garden, so he went to ask for a cup, there was no fishy smell, and there was no smell of mutton, which was really good.

After wandering around again, Gonggong Xu found that there were two or three hundred people in the garden, not to mention the people in the piano tower and the backyard of the piano building, there were almost five or six hundred people.

was wandering around, and a little servant stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the prince is here." ”

Emperor Wen Yuan nodded his head, and saw the king of Zhennan walking forward, ignoring Emperor Wen Yuan, and left directly, Emperor Wen Yuan's face turned blue.

Zuo Xiang saw that the face of the king of Zhennan was a little bad, and the emperor was not wearing a dragon robe, so the prince didn't see it, but the little guy told him what kind of door, and he was wondering, so he listened to the little guy, "The prince asked the emperor to come over." ”

Emperor Wen Yuan was almost dizzy, ignored him and left, and asked him to speak, who is the emperor!

But he was angry, and he couldn't go if he didn't go, Emperor Wen Yuan flicked his sleeves and walked over.

went directly to the second floor, there were three secret guards in the building, and four shopkeepers, who were holding the account books, standing with their hands down, and a respectful attitude.
