Chapter 9 Yunshui Villa
Updated: 2013-07-24
When the journey entered the thirty-fourth day, Qin Guyue could already feel the breath of the southern water town, although it could already be autumn, but here, the heat and humidity were still like dust in the air, sticking to people, making people feel uncomfortable.
But with these breaths, there is also the fresh, charming breath of Jiangnan, as if it is the body fragrance on a girl's body.
At this moment, Liu Wangcai, who was driving the car, stretched out his head and said to Qin Guyue in the carriage: "Young master, we will be able to go home this evening." ”
"Oh, can you go to Yunshui Villa this evening?" Qin Guyue's mood changed slightly, and then nodded: "It's been more than a month, and it's time to arrive." ”
Liu Wangcai said with a smile: "Young master, don't look down on Yunshui Villa." It's a mountain village, but it's not an exaggeration to say it's a city. This is your Qin family's ancestral business!"
Qin Guyue naturally read this story, and it was clearly recorded in the "Taizu Benji" in the history book of the Shengtian Dynasty. The ancestor of the Qin family had the merit of following the dragon to Emperor Taizu of the Shengtian Dynasty and was the general under him. Before a decisive battle that took place in the southeast battlefield with a huge disparity between the enemy and our forces, His Majesty Taizu once asked the ancestors of the Qin family before the battle: "The enemy is outnumbered, how sure are you in this battle?" Taizu smiled and said: "If you win this battle, I will seal you a thousand households in this southeast land, if you win and lose less than half of the troops, I will seal you ten thousand households, if you win and lose only one-third of the troops, I will seal you 100,000 households." "This ancestor of the Qin family is also really talented in using soldiers, and he won by surprise, and he only lost one-tenth of his soldiers, and he broke the enemy's army of 400,000, and naturally won the 100,000 gambling contract with Taizu at the beginning. After Taizu ascended the throne, he wanted to be crowned a king with a different surname for the ancestor of the Qin family, but the ancestor repeatedly pushed back, saying that "the ambition is not in the prince, but in the ears between the clouds and water", so the 100,000 fiefs were changed to "Yunshui Villa", which means that between the clouds and waters, it is a place to retreat, retire, and bury bones. Such behavior not only offset Taizu's concerns, but also gained the Qin family's lofty status in the Shengtian Dynasty in the future, which continues to this day.
It was also the retreat of the ancestors of the Qin family that made the Qin family stand tall in the later dynasties in the change of power again and again, and the family cleansing. Speaking of which, this Yunshui Villa is really a blessed place to protect the Qin family.
The ancestral house of the Qin family, that is, the center of Yunshui Villa, is built on the bank of a large river, which is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the feng shui is excellent, so the land on the bank of the river is fertile, and there are naturally many farms nearby, as well as a grass market town formed between various farms.
After entering the range of Yunshui Villa, the post road is better than the official road, and even countless green trees are planted on both sides, showing a thriving scene.
The carriage passed through a black forest with lush greenery on both sides and fresh air. Along a flat path, you can see the small valley on the left when you sit in the carriage, and if you look to the right, you can see a building complex that stretches halfway up the mountain, which is the ancestral home of the Qin family.
After hundreds of years of family glory, the original ancestral house has been renovated and rebuilt countless times in hundreds of years of history, and has a considerable scale!
What surprised Qin Guyue even more was that there were as many as 500 private soldiers left behind in this ancestral house. And it seems that they learned early that the Qin family's son was coming, and these five hundred private soldiers had already dressed neatly, all in black armor, and lined up on horseback on the school field in front of the ancestral house to greet them.
Each of these private knights is also a samurai realm, and there are even a few sharp soldiers, and in terms of the quality of the troops, they are even comparable to a local garrison force.
It is worthy of the martial arts family of the Shengtian Dynasty with thousands of years of accumulation, and the five hundred territorial private soldiers who stayed in the castle are obviously well-trained, their bodies are straight on horses, and their horse control skills are also quite skillful, and the equipment is not bad.
Yunshui Villa is so vast, and naturally there are many natural hunting grounds, and some hunting activities are held here every year, which is also a disguised exercise for these soldiers.
Passing through the queue of five hundred knights, Qin Guyue finally came to the Qin family's ancestral mansion.
The feeling of looking at it from a distance and looking at it up close is really completely different.
Behind a huge archway, there is a long road, winding along with the mountain, and the houses of the ancestral house of the Qin family, all the blue bricks and tiles, the corners of the eaves show a kind of big family bearing. And all the buildings are built on the mountain, and on the top of that hill, there is a bell tower that can be seen in the distance.
After passing the archway, stop in the middle of the road is a huge stone stele, fixed on the pedestal, the handwriting on the white stele is still clearly visible, the book "the country scholar lives, the civil official gets off the sedan chair, the military attache gets off the horse", the payment is the first year of the first emperor of the Shengtian Dynasty, it is the handwriting of His Majesty Taizu.
Even after thousands of years of history, this Taizu handwritten book still exudes the domineering spirit of Dingding Huanyu Qiankun, who else can I be, the carriage traveled here, Qin Guyue took the initiative to walk down from the carriage, and bowed deeply to this side of the horse monument, and then took twenty attendant warriors and walked towards the ancestral house on the mountain.
After bypassing the half-mile mountain road, Qin Guyue finally stepped into the door of the ancestral house, unlike the imagined, surrounded by countless servants and maidservants, the entire ancestral house was deserted and silent, as if there were no living people living in it. And to greet Qin Guyue and his party, there was only a tall and thin silver-haired old man, wearing the blue robe that was out of place, this kind of clothes Qin Guyue knew from the book that it was a fashionable costume in Yunjing City decades ago, and now someone who wears it like this will be regarded as a madman. But the silver-haired old man's behavior was in accordance with aristocratic etiquette, and he was meticulous in his salutes, as if he were a piece of decaying waking wood, conservative and respectful, although very measured, but it made people feel uncomfortable in the slightest. It's like talking to someone who shouldn't be in this world, and it's weird.
The old man had already bent down, bowed deeply, and then said in a low and slow voice: "Young Master, I am Qin Bang, the left-behind housekeeper here. I already heard about your imminent arrival three days ago. Now all the people in the old mansion are ready for your inspection. Please come with me. ”
When Qin Guyue heard this, she smiled in her heart, and inspected, Does this old guy not know that I want to stay here for the rest of my life? Or is he afraid of irritating me, so he probably pretends to be confused?
After speaking, the old butler turned around and carefully led Qin Guyue up the steps. He didn't have anything to fault in terms of etiquette, his demeanor was respectful and polite, humble and not flattering, and led Qin Guyue into the old mansion.
Fortunately, there are still servants in these old mansions, otherwise Qin Guyue would be suffocated by herself.
After entering the living room, all the servants in the old mansion stood on both sides of the hall in neat costumes to welcome Qin Guyue's arrival.
As for why don't you come to the door to greet you...... Qin Guyue suddenly thought from the old housekeeper's costume that decades ago, it was not in accordance with etiquette to go out to greet distinguished guests...... Should be greeted in the living room...... And now it is rude for a guest to come to the door and not greet him......
Thinking of this, Qin Guyue couldn't help but curse in her heart: "Old antique!"
Qin Guyue naturally wouldn't have much interest in this kind of strange "review", he nodded casually, and then said in a low voice: "Okay, now please take me to see the bedroom...... As for everyone, please disperse and get back to your work. ”
