Chapter 5 Visiting the Xu Mansion

Xu Qingqing lives in the main house, not far from the left is the maid's room, which is where Xiaowan and Qing'er live, on the right is a lotus pond and a pavilion, the left and right sides of the courtyard are planted with plum blossoms, a little roses planted inside, the center of the courtyard is a stone table, and there are four stone benches around the stone table.

"Ah, this is my own little courtyard~ Great!" Xu Qingqing was very satisfied, this layout was already at the villa level.

"Miss, do you want to go to the Lotus Pavilion to sit?" Xiao Wan pointed in the direction of the Lotus Pavilion and asked Xu Qingqing

"No, you can go to your own small courtyard at any time, and today's task is to go up and down this Xu Mansion!" Xu Qingqing said with high interest.

Xiaowan and Qing'er looked puzzled, how did their home say as if they were going somewhere to play, and they were so interested......

"Miss, why are you so curious about your home?" Xiao Wan couldn't help but ask

Xu Qingqing was a little weak-hearted, afraid of showing his feet, so he had to let the amnesia take the blame, "Aren't I amnesia?" I don't remember anything, and now I don't even know what my house looks like. After speaking, he pretended to be sad.

"Miss......" Xiaowan and Qing'er both began to feel distressed.

Xu Qingqing knew that it had an effect, and she was happy in her heart, "Okay, give me a general introduction to the layout of this mansion first." ”

"Yes, miss." Xiao Wan continued.

"Our Xu Mansion is located in Lin Qingcheng, and it is only half a day's carriage away from Jingzhou. There is a quiet and long, willow-shaded street in the city, and in this alley, the largest mansion is our Xu Mansion. ”

The Xu Mansion is composed of two parts, the mansion and the garden, and the mansion is divided into three roads: the middle road is mainly the residence of Master Xu, the "Xingchen Pavilion", and the roof is made of green glazed tiles, showing the majesty of the middle road. ”

"The main house in the front yard of the East Road is the residence of the uncle and the eldest lady, called the Broken Xuan Pavilion, there is a vine in front of the door that has grown for more than 200 years, and the right side of the rear courtyard of the East Road is called "Yaqing Yuan", which is your residence, and the left side is "Yafeng Garden", which is the residence of your brother. ”

"The main house in the front yard of West Road is the Red Brocade Pavilion, which is the residence of the second master and the second lady. The right side of the courtyard on the west road is called "Ju Hao Yuan", which is currently Miss Xia's residence, and the left side is "Ju Xing Yuan", which is the residence of the second young master Xu Mao. ”

The name of the garden is "Runjin Garden", and wandering in the garden is like walking among the mountains and rivers. Echoing the mansion, the garden is also divided into three roads: east, middle and west. The middle road takes a white marble arched stone gate as the entrance, takes the word tablet of "Fu" as the center, there is a rockery "Dule Peak" in front, and there is a green sky in the back. The decoration of the large theater hall on the east road is fresh and beautiful, and the purple flowers of the vine are in full bloom, making people feel like watching the play under the vine and rose. The five scenes at the south end of the theater building, such as Ming Daozhai and the winding path through the secluded, the green Yue, the incense and the drunken moon, and the flowing cup pavilion, constitute the garden in the garden. ”

"Wow~ It simply refreshed my perception of rich people! Is this really my home? Hold me on, I'm going to lose my feet......"

Xu Qingqing felt that all this was too unreal, and he was about to flow to the ground. Is all this true? Oh my God, I actually crossed over to such a rich family! Happiness came too suddenly!

"Miss...... Compared with the big families in Jingzhou, we are not much better. Xiaowan and Qing'er couldn't help but despise Xu Qingqing, how could their own young lady look like they had never seen the world.

"Jingzhou? Beijing? Where did the legendary emperor live? Xu Qingqing suddenly began to wonder which dynasty and what period he came from.

"Yes, Miss, Jingzhou is the imperial capital of our country."

"Leaving the country?" Xu Qingqing thought about it with a limited history, and he had never heard of this country.

"What kind of country is this? Who is the Emperor? ”

Xiao Wan patiently explained: "I don't know how many slaves and maids know, I only know that the emperor who left our country is the Li family, and the current emperor is Li Yuanan, who has been in the dynasty for twenty-five years and is now sixty-four years old. ”

Xiao Wan paused and continued as if she remembered something: "I heard that three years ago, he was almost usurped by the second prince Li Tingji, but in the end, it was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, that is, the emperor's eldest prince Li Yanbin, who saved the emperor. ”

"The Xia family was also involved in this matter, and the exile of the last exile, and the one who was put into the prison was put into the prison, because it was not deeply involved, so it was not all over the house, and the nine clans were even involved, otherwise I am afraid that our Xu Mansion will also be involved."

"No, this Xia family almost caught us when they died, it's too hateful! And this Xia family and Xia Tingting are still acting in the house, it's too shameless! Don't you know how to be a man with your tail between your legs! ”

Xu Qingqing was very angry that the Xia family almost killed the Xu family, and he didn't know how to be a good man! I can't get used to this kind of person who gets cheap and sells well!

"Yes, because of this, the whole house doesn't like them very much, and they always target the people in our big house, especially Miss You, it's really annoying!" Xiao Wan began to get angry as she spoke.

Not long after Qing'er came to Xu's Mansion, she didn't understand the origin of it, she had been staying in the firewood room and didn't know about the big room and the second room in the house, so she didn't say anything, but she hated Xia and Xia Tingting even more in her heart.

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about those two mourning stars, let's go out and hang out! My heart is going to fly out! I really want to see it with my own eyes! Household! Person! Family! As I walked, I told me all the things, from the emperor to the king next door, and told me all the gossip and news you know. ”

Xu Qingqing raised his head, his eyes full of anticipation. With two hands, he took Xiaowan and Qing'er's arms and walked out.

"Miss, this is not good, we are just slaves, not in accordance with the rules." Xiaowan said uneasily, and Qing'er also seconded, "Yes, Miss, if someone else sees it, we will inevitably be punished." ”

"Afraid of what? With me to support you, that's it, the three of us are good girlfriends, let's go. "Where can Xu Qingqing take care of so much, just one word, the master is happy, walking~

"Yes, miss." Although Xiaowan and Qing'er were still a little uneasy, they didn't refuse in the end, and they couldn't refuse.

Walking out of the gate of his small courtyard, I saw that the plaque in the center of the gate above the gate really wrote "Yaqing Yuan" in golden block letters.

There is also a small courtyard on the right that reads "Yafeng Yuan", which seems to be the residence of Xu Yue'er's brother Xu Yuelin.

"Let's go to my brother's house first." So saying, he stepped forward and walked over there.

Xu Qingqing didn't go in, just stood at the door and looked, she didn't come to visit the door, she just came to familiarize herself with the geographical location, and by the way, take a look at what the ancient people's mansions looked like.

"Miss, won't you go in?" Xiao Wan asked

"No, I'll just come and see, let's go and see where my father and mother live." As he spoke, he turned back to the position of the main room.

What did she do in there? To be honest, I'm not very familiar with this Sao Nian~ It's not really her brother, family affection still has to be cultivated slowly, let's go in the future!

Walking out of the stone arch in the backyard, what catches your eye is what the main house should look like, magnificent!

The decoration, ornaments, yard scale and layout around the house are naturally needless to say, two words luxury!

Xu Qingqing felt that he was an aristocrat, and he couldn't help but hold his head high when he walked. There are some wings and the like set up near the left and right of the main house, which were probably originally provided for the concubines to live in, Xu Qingqing guessed.

Walking to the gate of the Broken Xuan Pavilion, sure enough, there was a luxuriant vine attached to the shelf, dense and dense, and it was the best to enjoy the shade.

Xu Qingqing went to the Xingchen Pavilion on the middle road and the second room on the west road along the way, and they all turned around and became familiar with the geographical location.

In the end, I went to the Runjing Garden that I wanted to go to the most, the exquisite pavilions and pavilions in the park, the quiet and beautiful pool hall water corridor, as well as the masterpieces of ancient gardens such as big rockeries, ancient theaters, and jade Linglong, all of which made Xu Qingqing breathtaking, lingering.

In particular, the carved dragon built on the ridge of the walled roof danced its scales and claws, and its whiskers flew as if it were about to soar away, which amazed her even more. This is all the wisdom of the ancient working people! Awesome! Xu Qingqing sighed in her heart.

Stopping and talking all the way, talking and laughing, a few hours later, even lunch was eaten together at Master Xu's.

Xu Qingqing can also be regarded as having a preliminary understanding of this world, and the dynasty in which she lives has not been recorded in history.

There are now two major powers in the world, Zhou Qingguo and her Lisu country, and some small countries, all of which are dependent on these two countries.

Zhou Qingguo has always wanted to dominate the world like Qin Shi Huang unified the six countries, so he wanted to take the country of Lisu as a vassal country, and the surrounding wars continued, or the second prince Li Tingji and the third prince Li Qiu continued to calm the war outside.

However, there was a usurpation later, and the second prince was deprived of military power and placed under house arrest in the palace, and he could not take a step out of the palace without a holy order.

The affairs in the army were handled by the three princes, and he temporarily took the position of hussar general.

These major events of the imperial court and state are of little use to Xu Qingqing, at least for now, just get a little bit of gossip, or know more about the reality of this little Lin Qingcheng.

Lin Qingcheng's county order is Xie Zhihong, and the people's evaluation of him is not bad, after all, this place is close to Jingzhou, and they don't dare to make a mistake.

is considered a good official, but when the water is clear, there are no fish, and it is impossible to have a clean breeze on his sleeves.

He was most afraid of his wife Zhou Huarong, and he heard that even going to the concubine's place for the night had to be approved by his wife. Xu Qingqing knew for the first time that there were also people who were strict with their wives and afraid of their wives in ancient times...... I can't help but feel funny.

There are two sons in the county order, both of whom are issued by the county order's wife.

The eldest son: Xie Fengluan, talented, suave, and Xu Yueer's brother Xu Yuelin are good friends. Countless girls want to marry him, but unfortunately he already has a wife.

His wife, Zhou Wanwan, is a distant relative of Mrs. County Ling, and it was Mrs. County Ling who single-handedly facilitated this marriage.

Second son: Xie Fengjing is not talented, but he is also a person who reads poetry and books, but he is arrogant and domineering, bullying the good and fearing the evil, liking the new and hating the old, and the common people hate him.

I don't want my girl to marry him, and I don't want to be fancy by him. Any girl he likes will be forcibly married back, and he now has a group of wives and concubines, and the common people dare not speak up.

Moreover, there is something fun and delicious in this Lin Qingcheng, and the street where Xu Mansion is located is a modern rich area!

The rich families are all in this area, and there is nothing interesting to attract Xu Qingqing, it is nothing more than casinos, brothels, theaters, etc., most of which are places for men to have fun, and women in ancient times are really ...... Ay......

The food is some of the more famous restaurants and restaurants, but there are no tricks, they are all ordinary dishes, where there are all kinds of delicious food like modern times.

But all this is a business opportunity for Xu Qingqing! It seems that after getting acquainted here, you can do a good job and do big business.
