Shen Langgui

Continue to walk back, enter the three-entry courtyard, pass through a floating corridor, and you will see a rockery next to the wall, where ferns grow in the depression between the mountains, and there is another courtyard on the opposite side of the rockery. The door is set up, and the plaque is still in the shape of a stone leaf.

"Apricot blossom spring, so full of life," Zan Bi, Xun He asked Sha Ou: "Xianmiandu, Jade Dianqiu, Xinghuachun until now, are all your ideas?"

Sha Ou was proud: "Yes, I didn't dare to ignore the skills taught by the master back then. It's a pity that I wasted all my thoughts on this side door. If I have to be enlightened by the master, I won't be where I am today."

Xun He didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I just gave you three thousand taels of silver. You built such a big courtyard for me. How much was the padding behind it? How can a person of ordinary circumstances make such a big deal? How much money is owed to you, so I will do it honestly."

Sha Ou heard the words, jumped into the courtyard, ignored Xun He, Xun He was helpless, and followed in: "Hey, how do you let me live at ease."

Sha Ou stopped and argued: "Master, why don't you change your position and think about it. I saw you living in that cramped courtyard in the past, how can I feel at ease! This Jiangning City, so to speak, I have stayed for a few years, and it is only half a landlord. However, building a yard gives the master a place to stretch out, but the master wants to argue with me clearly!"

Xun He hurriedly grabbed Sha Ou and apologized: "Okay, okay, I'll just accept it."

Sha Ou didn't appreciate it very much, and still folded his arms and said, "You and I are friendly, what are these vulgar etiquettes?"

"Sir Sha Gull, is it called 'Xinghuachun' because of the apricot trees planted here?" Peng Yu asked standing under a big tree next to the house, pointing to the crown of the tree above his head.

Sha Ou immediately let go of his unhappiness, walked up to the girl, and explained: "Yes, Xianmiandu was built at the foot of the mountain. There are many apricot trees in this area. When I was building it, I saw that these two apricot trees were beautiful, so I stayed. In late autumn , just shake the branches, wash the fallen ripe fruit and eat it, Jiangning apricots are no better than those in the north, they are crisp and sweet, and they are the most mouth-watering."

"It's a wonderful tree!"

"These two trees depend on the right time and place, but some trees give me a headache."

"Ah? What kind of tree, even you feel embarrassed?"

Sha Ou sighed: "Hey, it's hard to say."

Peng Yu has always been calm and doesn't speak much, and he should be tired after running around for days, but now he is full of interest, his innocence is beyond words. Peng Yu and Shaou walked together.

Walking around the corridor through flowers, I arrived at a courtyard after a while. This time I saw no courtyard wall, but two tall pavilions, like Tafei Pagoda, with about three floors, standing opposite each other like two neutron stars. There is no courtyard wall, so there is no plaque inscription When a group of people were puzzled, Sha Ou said slyly: "You will know when you go in."

Stepping down, everyone immediately understood that the plaque was hung on the main entrance of the building one by one in the east and the west. The two floors are connected by a straight corridor in the air, and there is no pillar support under the corridor, which is really exquisite.

This time, Xun He didn't praise him, he frowned for a moment, then asked Sha Ou: "Do you know the craftsman who built this building?"

Sha Ou was stunned: "Why do you ask this? The two floors were designed by Team Leader Zhang, and he presided over the construction. I invited them here, so I naturally know them."

"Can you make a recommendation?"

"No problem, it's just why the master asked this suddenly?"

Xun He glanced at Shen Yue who was following him, and guessed that he would be exposed in the future, so he told the truth: "The Holy Majesty's intention to move the capital has been decided, the palace is built, and I will be in charge of collecting and transporting the timber. I saw the uniqueness of this courtyard, so I wanted to pay a visit to this craftsman. If his design can win Tian Yan a joy, it can be considered as a relief for the Holy One."

"What! I just said why the emperor sent you to work in Jiangning. It turned out that it was for this reason, you..." Shen Yue didn't speak until now, but his words were accusations. With the attention of everyone around him, Shen Yue didn't want to embarrass Xun He, After all, he swallowed his anger, turned away the conversation, and said, "Go to bed early tonight."

Shen Yue was willing to endure, Xun He was already very grateful, and hurriedly replied: "Yes."

After visiting the Xingyun Residence in the Yaoyue Tower, he turned to the south, and Xun He intuitively walked back, but this time it was no longer a flat ground, but a delicate arch bridge. The bridge deck was paved with bricks and stones. The clear waves under the bridge are lively, and the swimming fish are bright and extinguished.

"The lake is full of running water, which originated from the Qinhuai River. I used local materials to build this courtyard on the island in the middle of the lake." After Sha Ou's voice fell, everyone just got off the bridge. They felt that this building was bigger than the previous one. Xun He only said that this is the main house. The uniqueness of this place lies in the fact that a flower corridor is built around the island, with flower trellises climbing above it, orchids under the benches, and bonsai on both sides.There is a plaque on the main room with five openings, on which the five-character running script of "Lanxiu Shenlin" is elegant and unrestrained.

Xun He said: "If I remember correctly, this place should be the center of the entire courtyard."

"Yes, 'Lanxiu Deep Forest' leads directly to all the courtyards, to the south is Phoebe Hall, to the east is Yudianqiu, to the northeast is Xinghuachun, to the northwest is Xingyun Yaoyue Building, and to the west is 'Shuizhuju'. It lives next to the water and bamboo, and there is also an arch bridge connecting it, we will go there later."

Xun He looked around, and finally couldn't help asking Sha Ou: "Where's the little house I told you to build?"

Sha Ou was a little disappointed: "Hey, why is this what Master misses the most...Come with me." The group followed Sha Ou back the same way, walked down the small bridge, passed through Xingyun Yaoyue Shuangge, and there was a courtyard gate hidden by trees , the tall man pushed it away, and saw a small path leading directly to the mountain.

Xun He was suspicious: "This is?"

"Don't you want to be secluded? I might as well build it on the mountain for you."

Crowd: ...

Fortunately, although it is a mountain road, it is not difficult to walk. Firstly, the mountain is not steep, and secondly, there is not much difference between the steps. Climbing is easy, and the steps are paved with wood, which is not easy to slip.About halfway through the mountain road, I saw a courtyard. Xunhe had a keen nose and could smell the aroma of wood from a distance. When I saw the fence firewood doors and wood marks were still fresh, I guessed that this farmyard was the new residence that Shaou built for himself.

The courtyard was not big, and there was no one inside. The tall man opened the firewood door, and a group of people entered, but were startled by the scenery inside the courtyard.

"God..."

"What a big almond tree!"

"Is it a dryad?"

It turned out that above the thatched house, the canopy of the tree was like a giant umbrella, completely covering the house.

Sha Ou said helplessly: "Just now I said that the tree that embarrasses me is this one. It's too huge, and I can't cut it down for a while. I'll ask someone to see how to clean it up in a few days."

Shen Yue kept quiet all the way, but now he stopped him: "No, only by leaving a tree with fallen leaves and bearing fruit can we see the four seasons."

"It makes sense." Xun He immediately agreed.

Shagull was silent.

Compared with the exquisite pavilion just now, this thatched house is simple and shabby, but Xun He was very happy to see it, and went in to look inside, followed by Shen Yue.The house is small, and you can take in all the scenery if you look around and around.The layout of the middle hall is still lying on the side, and even the arrangement of tables and chairs is almost the same as before, Shen Yue said: "There is no change, it seems that you have been strict."

Xun He looked out and saw Sha Ou talking to Peng Yu, so he reassuredly spoke the truth: "I'm also afraid that it will be changed randomly by me."

Hearing this, Shen Yue expressed his doubts all along: "Why do you love living in such a humble residence?"

Xun He was taken aback for a moment, then smiled awkwardly, unable to answer.

Shen Yue didn't want Xun He to be in any trouble, so he stepped forward and grabbed his shoulders, and said in a warm voice: "It doesn't matter, as long as you live as you like." After finishing speaking, Shen Yue looked out the window, but saw that the backyard was empty and flat. A piece of land is even more sparse because there is no grass growing.

"Shall we go out?" Xun He asked.

"Listen to you."

The two went out again, but Dashun said loudly: "Miss Yinzhang, are you hungry?"

The introduction is not in a good mood: "Looking at the house, what are you spoiling, I'm not hungry."

"But I just heard your stomach growling loudly, ah!" Da Shun got a shuddering blow before he could finish his sentence.

Xun He pulled away the introductory chapter that was still full of beatings, and said: "I only ate a little at noon, it's strange that I'm not hungry now. Jiang Ning's first meal must be good, Sha Ou, which cook here is famous? "

Sha Ou clapped his hands: "Master has been running around for a day, and he should have a good rest when he returns to the mansion. So I hired the cook of Tianxiang Pavilion, and now I am preparing food in the kitchen, let's go down to eat."
