The mansion in Yangzhou was bought by Lin Ruhai three years ago from a salt merchant. The salt merchants spent a lot of money on the construction of this garden, not only because of the wide area, the exquisite design, the gorgeous decoration, but most importantly, the Slender West Lake is not far from the back alley of the garden. But after the yard was built, the salt merchant was sued, saying that there were too many non-compliant places in this garden, and although the salt merchant was reluctant, he also knew that his identity could not live in such a garden, so he let out the news that he wanted to sell it. But who would dare to buy such a garden without a certain identity? After hearing about it, the shopkeeper Lin of Yangzhou's Zhenyu Fang thought of his master, so he passed the news to Lin Ruhai. Lin Ruhai knew about this garden, and the salt merchant in the previous life sold this garden to Zhen Yingjia at a low price, and later Lin Ruhai also went to this garden to participate in Zhen Yingjia's wine banquet. On the whole, he still likes this garden, so he quickly asked Shopkeeper Lin to come forward and buy this garden.

In the previous life, Lin Ruhai and Jia Min lived in a three-entry house very close to the Yanzheng Yamen, and that house was a dowry of Lin Ruhai's grandmother, and Jia Min's mother and son and Lin Ruhai died in this house in the previous life. Lin Ruhai and Jia Min were reluctant to go back to the place that brought them endless pain to live, if it weren't for the fact that the house was a grandmother's dowry and couldn't be sold easily, I was afraid that Lin Ruhai would have sold the house a long time ago!

Jia Min insisted on hanging the plaque of the Marquis of Wenyuan's mansion in this new garden, Lin Ruhai didn't care about these, and even when he first transferred the house deed, Lin Ruhai directly asked Lin to write Jia Min's name. It's just that his daughter-in-law has to pick up all the face she lost in Jinling, as a good husband who spoils her daughter-in-law, Lin Ruhai is also in charge of Jia Min!

It took Lin Ruhai half a day to take a general look at the entire garden, this garden can be described as a step by step, and even the courtyard in the front yard for entertaining guests seems to be between mountains and rivers. The garden is not carefully divided into several entrances, out of the front yard through a corridor, into a circular arch is a huge garden, there are a total of ten courtyards of different sizes in the garden, the largest is located in the middle of the garden a courtyard. This courtyard is not like the regular three-entry courtyard in the north, but is connected by a hand-copying verandah. One of them, on a small island in the middle of the lake, is a small wooden building, which is cool and pleasant in the summer. Lin Ruhai imagined in his mind that he and Jia Min were here to enjoy the scenery and drink, chant poems and paint, so unhappy! There is also a house built in the middle of a plum forest, the house borrows the form of the Northeast fire kang, and the earth dragon is built under the house, and the fire is burned at the stove outside the house in winter, and the whole house will be warm as spring. These two houses allow the owner of this garden to enjoy the lotus in the lake in the summer and the fragrance of plum blossoms in the winter.

"Master, this garden is the largest in the whole garden, it has been renovated in accordance with the regulations, the other gardens in the garden have not been renovated, the craftsmen are going home for the New Year, it is estimated that they will not be able to come back to continue working after the first month. If the master is in a hurry to move over, the slave will discuss with those craftsmen, let them come back to work after breaking five, and then give more wages! Lin An asked behind Lin Ruhai.

"No need! Your wife will go back to the capital to pay homage to her father-in-law and mother-in-law after the beginning of spring, and it is estimated that it will be Mengdong to return to Jiangnan again. This garden is not in a hurry, just finish the renovation before autumn, and your wife should come back after the house is arranged, and it is just right to move directly when the time comes! ”

"Yes! Minions get it! Then sir, do you think there is anything that is not agreeable, and is there anything that needs to be changed? ”

"Oh! Change the path by the lake in the garden to a bluestone slab, the cobblestone pavement is easy to slip, and it is not good if you accidentally fall into the water. ”

"Yes! The minions made a note of it! When the craftsmen come back after the New Year, let them change the road first! ”

Lin Ruhai left Lin An Lucalyx and his wife to watch the garden in Yangzhou, and Hua Chong was alone and didn't want to go back and forth when he was old, so he also stayed in Yangzhou and still lived in the backyard of the Yamen. Lin An invited Hua Chong to celebrate the New Year together, and Hua Chong agreed after thinking about it, saying that he would come back to the garden on the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve.

was about to go back to Jinling to reunite with his wife and children, Lin Ruhai was so excited that he didn't sleep well all night, before dawn, he got up, had some breakfast, and took a carriage to the dock in Yangzhou.

Lin Ruhai asked Lin Xing to send a message to the people of the Liu family yesterday, saying that there was something for them to come to his ship to find him before today's hour. He didn't sleep all night, he got up early and set off early, and in the carriage, he thought that he could wait for Liu Jinbao for a while after arriving at the dock. But to Lin Ruhai's surprise, when his carriage arrived at the dock, the Liu family's carriage also arrived at the same time. After Lin Ruhai got out of the carriage, he was stunned for a moment when he saw the two ancestors and grandchildren of the Liu family who had also just gotten off the carriage, and then smiled slightly, and raised his hand to signal them to follow him on the boat.

Liu Jinbao was very glad that he was prescient and guessed that Lin Ruhai's move was intended to test the sincerity of their Liu family (in fact, no, he was in a hurry to go home to see his daughter-in-law at night). He whispered to his eldest grandson Liu Guanjie: "Look, if you listen to your grandmother, I'm afraid that you will ask Master Hou to wait for our grandchildren, and this will make Master Hou think that we don't understand the rules from the beginning!" ”

"It's still grandfather's wisdom!" Liu Guanjie also wiped a cold sweat silently, fortunately he didn't listen to his grandmother's time to come over a moment ago, I'm afraid that by then Wen Yuanhou would have already set sail!

The grandfather and grandson followed Lin Ruhai and boarded the Lin family's boat and entered the warm cabin. Lin Ruhai took off the black fox fur on his body, handed it to Lin Xing behind him, and then walked to the chair and sat down, looking at the ancestors of the Liu family meaningfully.

"Under Liu Jinbao (student Liu Guanjie) to meet Wen Yuanhou!"

"Mrs. Liu is polite, please sit down, come and serve hot tea, let Mrs. Liu warm up!"

"Thank you, Master Hou!" After thanking Lin Ruhai, the ancestors and grandsons of the Liu family sat down one after another, and after the little maid served tea, they politely tasted two sips of tea.

"Is there anything wrong with Old Lady Liu in a hurry to find me?" Lin Ruhai went straight to the point.

Liu Jinbao and Liu Guanjie glanced at each other, Liu Guanjie lowered his head and was silent, Liu Jinbao sighed and turned his heart sideways, and he came here today to be embarrassed, so he no longer hesitated to turn his head to look at Lin Ruhai.
