Chapter 164: Happy Three Gardens
Tu Yuelian walked in front, and Hua Wenxiang, who was only wearing a pair of pants, followed behind her.
The two people and a cat, who were already dressed and waiting by the carriage, smiled and looked at the flowers with a warm fragrance.
Hei Qiu'er changed into the clothes that didn't fit her body shape again, with her arms open, exposing her little belly, but she was also a lot cooler, and said with concern: "Yuelian, are you okay?"
The red-faced girl snorted, and then quickly got into the carriage, "Let's go." β
Luo Bei and Ruluo got into the car, and the former directly raised the horsewhip, "Drive!"
The carriage departed.
Hua Wenxiang, who hadn't gotten into the car yet, scolded: "Luo Bei, you bastard!"
In this way, Hua Wenxiang ran barefoot for a mile behind the carriage, wearing the clothes and shoes that the black ball threw from the carriage as she ran.
Luo Bei stopped the car, glanced at Hua Wenxiang, and said, "Let you bully Yuelian, and next time, I will let you strip naked and run ten miles!"
Hua Wenxiang quickly understood what Luo Bei meant, and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, this time it was indeed my fault, I offended Yuelian unintentionally, I promise, there will never be a next time." β
A woman's voice came from inside the carriage, "I'm not so stingy, get on the bus quickly, it's important to hurry." β
Hua Wenxiang grinned, "Okay!"
The coachman spurred his horse and led the people north.
By dusk, the road beneath your feet became more and more favorable, and the road ahead became clear.
Hei Qiu'er came to the outside of the carriage and sat with Luo Bei and Ruluo, the next few hours are the last hope, if you can't find anyone, you will have to sleep in the wild again today.
In the carriage, there was only one man and one woman.
Hua Wenxiang smiled awkwardly at Tu Yuelian, the woman leaned over, lifted the curtain, looked at the scenery outside the window, and didn't say a word.
After about an hour, Ruluo smiled and said, "Heiqiu'er, it seems that we have a place to live today." β
Hearing this, Hei Qiu'er climbed onto the shoulders of the big monk, widened his eyes, and tried to look, and sure enough, there was a shadow of people in the distance, and it seemed to be a city-like place!
Luo Bei waved his horsewhip and picked up his speed.
From time to time, a more imposing high wall clearly appeared in front of everyone's eyes, and three big characters were engraved above the high wall gate.
Bamboo Garden.
"Brother, wait a minute!" Luo Bei shouted to the two who were about to close the gate of the high wall.
Night is approaching, and the city is going to be locked down.
When the two men saw the speeding carriage, they quickly stopped their work and hid on both sides of the gate.
"Phewβ"
Luo Bei braked sharply, and the horse raised its front hooves, and then fell heavily, raising a cloud of dust.
Luo Bei jumped out of the carriage and took out two taels of silver, one tael per person, "It's convenient for the two of you." β
By this time, the gate of the high wall was halfway closed.
The two of them were good at talking, and after briefly checking the carriage, they reopened the door and signaled that Luo Bei could enter.
Black Ball secretly rejoiced that he had finally come to a good place!
As soon as you enter the gate, you will be bustling in front of you, and it will be a lively feeling that you have not seen for a long time.
Now it was dark and the whole street was brightly lit, and there was no end in sight.
At this time, it was about dinner time, and there were not too many people on the street, so Luo Bei drove the carriage slowly through the crowd.
He inquired all the way and asked where the best inn in Zhuyuan was.
After the guidance of passers-by, Luo Bei led everyone to the door of an inn, which has two floors, and the appearance is good, and the carved railings are made of jade.
The innkeeper hurriedly came over to lead the horse and greet him.
Everyone got out of the car, and Luo Bei said with a smile: "Little Brother Lao fed our horse with the best forage." β
Along the way, the horse has been of great help and suffering, and he must be treated well these days.
The shopkeeper smiled and said a good word, and then asked Hua Wenxiang to go into the store.
As soon as he entered the store, an old shopkeeper who was close to Jiazi came over to entertain Hua Wenxiang and the others, "How many of you want to stay in the hotel?"
Hua Wenxiang snorted, "Two rooms, one small and one largest." β
On the first floor, there is a place to eat, and it is very lively at this time of night, and the large and small tables are almost full.
The old shopkeeper smiled: "A few people haven't eaten yet, I'll take a few to the room first, and then a few can eat something on the first floor. β
A few people followed the old shopkeeper upstairs, and Hua Wenxiang asked, "What is Xisan Garden? Isn't this called Zhuzhu Garden?"
The old shopkeeper said patiently: "It's the first time you've come here." We call it Zhuzhu Garden here, located in the south, there are two gardens in the northwest and northeast directions, called like Jin Garden and Heshu Garden, the three gardens each live in a corner, collectively called the three gardens. In the center of the three gardens is a large square, which is the most lively there, and a few people can go there for a walk after eating for a while. β
Luo Bei said with a smile: "The layout of this Xisan Garden is quite distinctive. β
The old shopkeeper brought everyone to the door of the house, "These are the masterpieces of the three garden owners, our three garden owners, they are all capable people." Okay, let's clean up first. β
So saying, the old shopkeeper opened the house, let a few people look around the room, and then took his leave.
Hua Wenxiang has three men in one room, one sleeps on the bed, and two people make the floor. Tu Yuelian and Black Ball are in the same room.
After resting in the room for a while, Tu Yuelian came to knock on the door of their house and said that Heiqiuer was hungry.
The group went downstairs to eat, ordered a table full of dishes, and decided to make up for all the meat that had lost weight in the past few days.
The innkeeper and the shopkeeper looked at the expensive carriage and the generous expenses, and knew that the people in front of them were all from rich families.
It's just that the fat cat in clothes and the monk who eats meat and drinks wine are really strange, and coupled with Tu Yuelian's extraordinary appearance, they attracted a lot of attention from the surroundings for a while.
"Hiccupβ"
Hua Wenxiang burped and rubbed her belly, which was about to explode, "It's so comfortable." β
Luo Bei didn't dare to drink more, because everyone had just discussed going out after eating.
He beckoned Xiao Er not far away and asked, "Little brother, can you briefly introduce us here." β
Hua Wenxiang and the others belong to the kind of people who are more pleasing to the eye in Xiao Er's opinion, the men are handsome, the women are beautiful, and the group talks and behaves very politely, and the children of rich families rarely have such politeness.
The young junior came over and gave everyone a general introduction to Xisanyuan.
It is said that the owner of this bamboo garden is a scholar, named Tang Song, who did a bamboo business in his early years, made some money, and the other two owners are close friends, and the three of them built this happy three gardens together.
Hua Wenxiang and the others felt that this place was somewhat similar to Zhongzhuozhuang, and they were all made by three people.
The Jinyuan Garden is the most prosperous garden among the three gardens, the owner is a businessman who makes money, and he is the most profitable, named Tu Yuyan, and half of the assets in the big square in the center of the three gardens are his.
The square is called a garden within a garden.
The owner of Heshuyuan is a woman, named Yan Jia, not to mention beautiful, but also shrewd and capable, so far unmarried, speaking of which, Xiao Er quietly said something in Luo Bei's ear, saying that this Yan garden owner has liked the Tang Garden owner for many years, but the latter has been married, although his wife has been dead for many years, but there is still a child, I don't know if it is because of the child, the Tang Garden owner has never responded to the Yan Garden owner's show of love.
Luo Bei smiled, this love between men and women has always been interesting.
The innkeeper said that if you go to the Grass Tree Garden, you must worship the Grass Tree over there.
The grass tree is the symbol of the grass tree garden, this tree has grown for thousands of years, it seems to have been spiritual, all outsiders will go to worship this thousand-year-old tree, it is said that making a wish under the tree, as long as it is not too unrealistic, it can generally be effective.
Hua Wenxiang has never heard of such a tree, so I decided to have a chance to go there to see it in the next few days.
The three main streets of the park are intersected, and in addition, there is a street in each garden that leads directly to the central square, the garden within the garden.
The street where everyone is now is the street leading from the bamboo garden to the garden within the garden.
After a short rest, Hua Wenxiang said: "Let's go, wander around and eliminate food." β
After paying the money, the group went out.
The lights are brilliant, and the flow of people in the night market is gradually dense.
From the city gate to the central square, the distance is almost two miles, and the variety of shops on both sides is dizzying.
Hei Qiu'er sat on Ruluo's shoulders, put two little fat hands on his bald head, and muttered, "This place is not much worse than Zhongzhuo Village." β
Ruluo asked, "Do you want to eat sugar gourds?"
Black Ball snorted, "I'm going to eat two skewers...... I remember that you used to be very fond of sugar gourds at Xuanyun Temple. β
Ruluo said: "When I was a child, Master always bought me sugar gourds, and after I got used to eating them, he didn't buy them for me, and then I went down the mountain every time I went down the mountain to buy them myself. β
Hei Qiu'er praised: "It makes sense. β
Hua Wenxiang bought a sachet and gave it to Tu Yuelian, which can be regarded as an apology for the previous offense.
Luo Bei walked on the street, attracting the eyes of many young women, and was accosted from time to time, which made the young swordsman a little embarrassed.
After walking around for nearly two hours, the group finally came to the central square, the garden within the park.
From a distance, there are several entrances and exits of this square, which is really just like the inn Xiao Er said, which is a maze of trouble.
The group picked an entrance and entered, and after taking two steps, they felt the nine curves and eighteen bends inside, and there was a fork almost every few steps, and countless small streets were crisscrossed and longitudinal.
Walking through the crowd, you have been walking in and out, and at the end of the road is a huge square paved with bluestone slabs.
There are many small vendors in the square, shouting one after another, in addition to all kinds of selling artists, what dragon and lion dances, what changing faces and swallowing steel balls, everything, wonderful.
On a temporary high platform, there is a young man who attracts the most attention, at this time he is doing a handstand upside down, and his feet in the air are still supporting an iron ball weighing 100 pounds, and his feet are constantly swinging, making the iron ball rotate continuously.
The flowers were warm and fragrant, and at the same time, they were pinching a cold sweat for them, if there was a mistake, the iron ball would fall......
When he thought of this, he couldn't help but shudder.
