Chapter 405: The Elegant House in the Mountains

The well-known "Chengde Summer Resort" was built in the Qing Dynasty.

After Zheng Haizhu crossed over, when he drove the map of the development and reform plan to Beijing, he was curious, the Qing Dynasty emperor was afraid of heat, and the Ming Dynasty emperor was not afraid of heat.

Why didn't the Ming Dynasty build a summer resort in Hebei? Could it be that just because the border troubles in Beizhen have never been extinguished, and he went to Hebei to escape the summer, if he doesn't get it, will Ming Yingzong's unlucky story be repeated again?

Zheng Haizhu's question was quickly answered.

From Ming Shizong to Ming Shenzong, they all live in simplicity and like to live in the Forbidden City. The Ministry of Industry then adapted measures to local conditions and built cool houses in the palace. Under the cool house, many deep wells were dug out, and the wellheads were covered with round bricks with holes. In the middle of summer, the coolness of the well water permeates into the house through the brick holes, like a natural supply of "cold air".

In this way, the son of tomorrow does not have to go out of the palace, and he can enjoy the coolness.

But at the beginning of last year, Wang Tiqian, a eunuch who rose to the top, kept lobbying Zhu Changluo to go to the mountains of his hometown of Changping to escape the summer.

Changping is not far from the capital, and the scale of the honor guard and the security pressure of the holy car are much smaller, and there is no need to work for the government to take over the car along the way.

Wang Tiqian's thoughts, returning to his hometown, fell second, the key is to be like the project managers of later generations, to get on a big horse, and to make a lot of money.

It happened that Zheng Haizhu led the team to build a clear field in Shandong, and the household department had a harvest, Zhu Changluo felt that he had taken out 20% of the money from repairing the three major halls and went to the suburbs of Beijing to repair individual businesses, which was not a loss of virtue, so he allowed Wang Tiqian to do this.

Wang Tiqian has oil and water to be greedy, the efficiency is very high, soon a small piece of mountains and rivers, suitable for stationing in the building, last year of the autumn, take advantage of Zhu Changluo to see the Wanli Emperor Dingling opportunity, please the Son of Heaven to take a turn, the acceptance of the summer resort.

Zhu Changluo was very satisfied, Wang Tiqian finished the first payment, and this year he also mentioned the summer vacation early, so as to continue to be greedy for ink.

But Wang Tiqian didn't expect that the praying mantis catching cicadas, and the yellow finch was behind, and the profit-making project planned by his own beauty would be targeted by Zheng Haizhu and become a grasp to bring him down.

At this moment, Zheng Haizhu pretended to be confused, obviously through Tian Ergeng's palace eyeliner, she knew that Zhu Changluo had been indulgent recently, and deliberately changed the reason for her illness to another word, which caused Li Guifei's heart to move.

That's right, when she goes to Changping for the summer, only she, Concubine Li, is qualified to go with her, and the foxes in the inner court can't be demons.

"Hmm, Ah Zhu," Concubine Li Guifei was in a good mood, and even the title became closer, "Your letter in the outer court, is it accurate?" Recently, what kind of repairs have been made to open the sea to get silver, and the court has not bothered the long live lord? ”

"Don't worry, it's too peaceful. Long live the Lord will not be in the mood to go to the outskirts of Beijing. But ......"

"But what?" Concubine Li Guifei saw Zheng Haizhu's face, and put on her often vigilant look.

Zheng Haizhu looked back at the courtyard, a few familiar little eunuchs, standing far away, chiseling ice.

In the house, there was only the closest palace maid to Concubine Li.

Zheng Haizhu said: "The minister also suddenly thought of it, Changping over there, has always been Wang Tiqian, the little lady who came back to my shop to buy pearl and cui jewelry, and it is not clear, Niangniang also said that Wang Tiqian has been in the summer, and he is more diligent than Wang An when he goes to the Qianqing Palace." Will he, in the summer farewell, give it to the long-lived lord, well, to the long-lived lord...... Pageant? ”

"Click", Li Guifei stirred the silver spoon of the bird's nest soup and hit the edge of the bowl.

Li Guifei is not a lady from a big family, and her reading is limited, but she has heard a lot of folk tales, what kind of close ministers of a dog and a cat, taking advantage of the emperor's opportunity to go on patrol, and using women to invite pets, the story is the most familiar to Li Guifei.

"Makes sense. The prince's companion, Cao Huachun, did not deal with Wang Tiqian, and King Xin hated Wang Tiqian even more. This eunuch, not all of his thoughts on the long live Lord, hurry up and sit on the palm print of the boss, but I am afraid that one day I will have to go to the pigeon house to sweep the pigeon dung. ”

Zheng Haizhu said in her heart, this concubine's brain, only when it comes to suspecting that someone else is digging her husband's corner, does it turn particularly in line with the logic of political fighting.

"Then, Niangniang will take precautions and go to the long-lived master to plow the cave first," Zheng Haizhu gave a plan in a quiet tone, "From the beginning, let's just say that it is to supervise the auspicious soil of Changping Bo, the governor of the country, and then go to the summer resort and wait for long live." ”

"Shun, Shun. That's it. You follow along, if that Song craftsman has a good job, you can help me reward him. Li Guifei clapped.

……

"Mama, it should be here."

Dongchang Fanzi shouted to stop the carriage and turned back to the guest Yinyue.

Ke Yinyue walked down and looked up at the house dozens of steps away.

The green brick house is hidden in the lush forest in summer.

"Just this decent house?" Ke Yinyue looked at the other thatched huts scattered at the foot of the nearby mountain and on the mountainside, and asked suspiciously.

Fanzi also seemed to be not very confident by her, jumped out of the carriage, turned around on the opposite side of the official road, and came back and said: "That's right, Mama, please see, over there, the stone bridge over the river, surrounded by a tight surrounder, is the summer resort of Long Live Lord, right?" Tian Ye explained that it was too small. ”

Ke Yinyue also looked at the summer resort.

On the eve of Wei Zhongxian's trip to Luoyang, he suddenly said that he wanted to buy a small house in Changping.

Ke Yinyue was shocked when she heard this, thinking that Wei Zhongxian's last sentence was to expose Wang Tiqian's affair with her, but Wei Zhongxian said seriously: "You always talk in my ear that you want to return to the Zhu family, and my brain will be nagged by you." You see if this method will work, I will buy a courtyard near the summer resort for you to live. When the prince and the lord go to escape the summer, you, make some snacks that the prince loved to eat in the past, and beg to send them in. A Zhuangzi is much better than the Forbidden City, right? ”

Ke Yinyue breathed a sigh of relief, but asked again: "Won't the Zhu family think that we are here, what is it called, what is it called, and we are counting them?" ”

"How come," Wei Zhongxian looked calm, "I still have the errand of the Salary Division, and it will be autumn again in the blink of an eye, I have to run at both ends of the capital and Xuanfu, and rest in the house outside Changping City, what's strange." In the courtyard of the countryside, it is only a hundred taels of silver, and the officials can't grasp the handle. Those dog things, it costs three or five hundred taels to buy a broken painting. ”

Subsequently, Wei Zhongxian told Ke Yinyue not to talk about this matter first, and then talk about it when his brother found a good house.

Ke Yinyue secretly pondered that she couldn't tell Wang Tiqian about this. I made a bet on both men, and the odds of winning are great, and neither of them can be left to pick and choose.

Wei Zhongxian walked for almost a month, and Tian Ergengcai of Dongchang sent someone to tell Keyinyue that the Yaren had said that the house was good, and he Lao Tian signed the deed.

Ke Yinyue was going to see it immediately, but Tian Ergeng's people were not very polite, saying that Dongchang was very busy, and Mama waited for Tian Shuai's arrangement to talk about it, Mama Mo preached it everywhere, Tian Shuai didn't want people outside to think that Tian Qianhu of the dignified Dongchang would give you a woman's family to run errands.

After all, Tian Ergeng has a grandfather who is an official to the military department, and a wet nurse like Ke Yinyue, who climbed into the palace as a folk grassroots, was still stunned when she saw the children of a serious courtier's family, so she had to wait patiently.

Finally to the end of the day, Dongchang came to a kind fan, drove her out of Beijing, first to the inn in Changping Mansion City to stay overnight, this morning while it was cool, sent her over to see the house.

At this moment, Dongchang Fanzi put a wheel stop wood on the carriage, and said to Ke Yinyue: "Mama, let's go in and take a look?" Tian Ye said that if he hired a local from Changping to sweep the house, if his mother felt that it was not suitable, he could change it. ”

"Okay, there's work."

When the two came to the fence, Fanzi shouted, reported the source, and soon a mother-in-law answered the door.

"Salute Grandma Wei, Grandma is healthy. The small surname is Lin. ”

Ke Yinyue looked at her mother-in-law, rushing to her fifties, her facial features were ordinary, her complexion was rough and dark, just like an old woman in the countryside, and her speech was brutal.

"You're not from Changping?" Ke Yinyue stared at her and said.

"Back to grandma, the little one escaped from Jizhen, and used to be a cook in an inn in Fucheng. The nobles took a fancy to him and hired him to work for his grandmother. ”

"Oh." Ke Yinyue responded and walked towards the courtyard.

She stopped in front of a clay jar: "What is this?" ”

"Back to grandma's words, the one who makes the sauce, the bean sauce from Changping, and the first one in Beizhili. The little gratitude grandmother took it in, so I made a few cans and stored them in the cellar, and the weather couldn't be bad, so I took them out and fried them, mixed with cold noodles, oops, that delicious ......"

The mother-in-law is a cook in the end, and when it comes to eating, she immediately loses her restraint, and her face is full of wrinkles, stretching out like a chrysanthemum.

Ke Yinyue rushed for half a day, and she really felt panic in her stomach at this time.

She walked straight into the hall and sat down, and said to her mother-in-law, "Make two bowls of fried noodles, and I will eat them with this military master." ”

"This is going, this is going!" The mother-in-law retreated in response to a stack of voices and walked towards the stove.

Ke Yinyue looked around, but he didn't expect that this house was quite decently repaired, and the green bricks on the ground were obviously new.

The wood of the tables, chairs and furniture is not cold, and the Bogu shelves are even furnished with beautiful white porcelain.

"I hired a woman to guard the door, and I wasn't afraid that these things would be robbed and stolen?" Ke Yinyue said to Dongchang Fanzi.

Fanzi also seemed to be a little surprised by the grandeur of this house, but quickly responded with a smile: "I think the tooth people know that the nobles in Naijing bought it, and they have all explained it to the Tao." The green-skinned gangsters want to rob and rob the merchants who have fallen behind in the past. Besides, the summer resort of Long Live Lord is on the other side of the river, and Changping Mansion must have cleared this generation early on. Grandma, let's take a look at the house first, I drove the horse to the nearby Zhuangzi, and asked the villagers to buy some bean cake grain. I came out in a hurry in the morning, and the grain bag was left at the inn. ”
