Next to the theater in Bachuan Market, someone bought a shop.
Dozens of craftsmen worked there for half a month, renovating the shop.
Pedestrians on the road took a closer look and saw that there were no containers or tables and chairs inside, but there was a huge sand table.
Someone asked why, but the craftsman just said he didn't know.
After another half month of meticulous carving, the entire store has been completely renovated with painted pillars and carved beams.
Craftsmen brought the objects in several large carts, covered them with thick cloths, and carefully carried them into the shop.
People passing by couldn't resist their curiosity and went into the store to ask again, but they still didn't know the answer.
A few days later, the store door was decorated with lights and colorful robes, and a maid wearing a colorful jacket stood at the door, welcoming travelers to come inside.
Since the early stage was full of gimmicks, there were too many customers who wanted to find out. However, the store area was limited. If you wanted to enter, you could only get your number plate and then queue up.
Even if the number is called, the visiting time is limited, and when the time comes, another group of guests will need to be admitted.
When you enter the store, the first thing you see is a huge sand table surrounded by ten people.
The scenery in the sand table is a gorgeous garden.
In the center of the garden, surrounded by green woods and colorful flowers, is a quiet inner lake.
There are countless unique small courtyards located by the lake, which look particularly peaceful and elegant.
Surrounding the small courtyard, there are waterfalls, rockeries, pavilions, clubs, teahouses, fishing platforms and other leisure places. Further away, there are entertainment venues such as wine and restaurant, polo, zoo and so on.
The outermost edge of the entire garden is Xizhou in Bachuan Market, which contains private schools, temples, Yuqiong Tower and other places.
Walking past the large sand table, there are many small vertical cabinets inside the store, which contain many miniature landscapes made of wood and stone...
There are large and small courtyards with different entrance and exit specifications, landscape pavilions surrounding the inner lake, and a bustling commercial area.
In the innermost corner of the whole store, there are seven or eight signs. On each sign, there is a garden diagram drawn by an artist. On the largest sign, there are three characters "Ansheng Garden" written, and below it is written
introduce.
Someone read out the words in the introduction: "Royal Forest Garden, where people enjoy themselves, the designs are all by everyone's hand, and the courtyard is for sale..."
The guests who came to visit were a little disbelieving and asked the maid in the shop: "Is this really a royal garden?"
The maid pointed to the largest inner space in the sand table and said, "That's the royal forbidden garden."
Guest: "How can the Imperial Clan be so noble as to be neighbors with ordinary people? Moreover, how can the Royal Garden be allowed to be sold?"
Maid: "An ordinary royal garden is naturally a forbidden area, but Ansheng Garden also said in the introduction that it is to have fun with the people..."
Of course, there is a second part to this sentence. Even if the royal inner courtyard in Ansheng Garden is built, it is hard to say whether the emperor and the palace officials will come to live there.
Guest: "Whose handiwork are the gardens and the house?"
Maid: "The royal garden, from site selection to design, from green plants to decoration, is naturally made by famous people in the Ministry of Industry."
Customer: "Then the price of this sale...?"
The maid shook her head and said: "The current price has not been determined."
The guest asked doubtfully: "When can it be decided?"
The maid handed a copy of the guide introducing Ansheng Garden to the guest's hand, and said: "On the fifteenth day of next month, a thousand people will be selected from all the people who have received the number to go to Ansheng Garden to visit the model house."
Guest: "Select a thousand people? Model house? What does this mean?"
The maid pointed to the introduction sheet and said with a smile: "It's written clearly on this paper. You'll know it when you go back."
Not only in Bachuan Market, but also in the East and West markets in Chang'an, such sand table shops have appeared.
Suddenly, people everywhere in the capital were talking about Anshengyuan.
Living in the royal garden, all designed by everyone, and being neighbors with the emperor have become the three focuses of attention in Anshengyuan. Everyone begins to look forward to the opening of Anshengyuan Residence on the 15th of next month.
In the blink of an eye, the opening day arrived.
At the entrance of the sand table shop, the lottery list was released.
Those who won the lottery were overjoyed, while those who didn't won naturally sighed.
A smart person sells the winning numbers and gets hundreds of millions of dollars in one fell swoop.
A few days later, a good carriage was arranged in front of the sand table shop, and the selected people began to be taken in batches to Ansheng Garden for a visit.
Anshengyuan is located south of Xizhou and west of Bahe River. Most of it is still under construction, and only a small area facing the lake is open.
The visitors who came to visit got off the carriage and saw a huge palace gate erected in the nearby courtyard. There were also palace guards standing beside it. Many officials and master craftsmen were busy building the forbidden garden.
.
Seeing this situation, people also believed the sentence "neighboring the royal family" in the introduction of Anshengyuan.
Leave the Royal Forbidden Garden and make a half-circle along the lake path.
There are beautiful lakes and mountains, waterfalls like clouds, old men fishing on the fishing platform, scribes cooking wine and chanting poems in the pavilions, and boatmen planting duckweeds in the lake.
Arriving at the model house near the lake, several maids dressed as palace maids said blessings to the guests who came to visit and led them into the house.
As model houses, they are divided into several categories from small to large.
The smallest house is the second courtyard with front and back yards.
The layout of the second courtyard of Anshengyuan is different from that common in the Tang Dynasty.
To the north of the yard is the tall main house, with east and west wing rooms on both sides, and opposite east and west wing rooms on the east and west sides. The front and back yards are separated by walls, and a hanging flower door is set in the middle. There is also a corridor handle
The hanging flower door connects the main room and the east and west wing rooms in series.
Therefore, the layout of the second courtyard of Anshengyuan is wider than the ordinary Tang Dynasty system, and is naturally more impressive.
Further up, there is also a set of samples in the third courtyard.
The maid told the guests that if the family has a large population and three courtyards are not enough, four or even five courtyards can be customized.
Next, everyone went to the hospital to visit.
The design of the entire courtyard is full of grandeur and royal style, and the materials used are so luxurious that even the most demanding wealthy families can't fault it.
In addition, roads, green plants, water supply, landscape, interior decoration, calligraphy and painting, etc. are not only complete, but also done to perfection.
Guests find that whether they are a large family or a small family, when they move in, they only need to prepare a few luggages and do not need to buy additional furniture, which is extremely convenient.
After visiting the house, the maids led the guests to a pavilion-like place.
From the appearance, the pavilions of Anshengyuan are rolling and majestic, somewhat similar to the Shangshu Province in the imperial city.
Walking into it, there are the Food Department, the Medicine Department, the Engineering Department, the Agriculture Department, etc. Each department has an inner courtyard in the pavilion. There are many people stationed in the courtyard, and they are busy.
The visiting guests were puzzled and asked the maids.
The latter replied: "The Shangshi Sizhong are famous chefs recruited by Yuanyuan from various prefectures. The delicious dishes they cook can be used by any family staying in Anshengyuan to entertain guests or dine at home.
Inviting them to cook meals is also a way to taste the craftsmanship of famous artists."
A customer asked: "How to calculate the hiring fee?"
The palace maid replied: "Anyone who lives in a garden home has a fixed number of times each month, and can hire famous chefs to cook for free. If you exceed the number of times, you will be charged."
The guest nodded and praised the garden for its thoughtfulness.
Another customer asked: "Then the Medical Department can see the doctor for free every month, the Industrial Department can repair and make tools for free, and the Agricultural Department can help take care of green plants and vegetable gardens for free...?"
The palace maid nodded in agreement and said: "Not only these, there is also a military guard in Ansheng Garden, which not only has war horses, but also armor. They are responsible for guarding the garden on weekdays and not letting anyone get close. Of course, these are also free.
."
Not only can people in the garden cook for free, repair and treat diseases for free, but there are even free services to maintain the safety of the surroundings. This service is really unheard of, but it is exciting.
A wealthy family member made a decision on the spot and wanted to buy the house in Ansheng Garden.
Unexpectedly, the accompanying palace maid smiled softly and said: "Guest, today is just a visit. The sale of the house can only be discussed after the regulations are issued in the future."
