Meishan Villa, as the name suggests, is a villa built on Meishan Mountain. Book fans also like to read:.
Jinxi sat on the Taishi chair in Chuyuan's study room with her calves dangling. On the table in front of her, there was a topographic map of Meishan Villa spread out.
This was something she specifically asked Fei Yanggu to come to. The guise was that she wanted to familiarize herself with the layout of the hospital. In fact, she was already thinking about the additional exercises she would need in the next two and a half months.
In addition to jogging around the mountain, walking in the forest, and doing yoga by the stream, it seems that you can also climb to the top to watch the sunrise and sunset, because there is a small door above Yunxi Pavilion that leads to the top of Meishan Mountain.
At the foot of the mountain, in addition to the reception room, meeting hall, large kitchen, and servant room at the entrance, there is the center of gravity of the entire courtyard at the foot of the mountain - the hot spring pool. It is also called the Wentang Pool.
Further west there are no buildings, only a large area of mountainous land planted with various fruit trees. Benefiting from the heat radiated by the hot spring pool, the orchard has become a veritable fruit forest, producing bumper harvests every year.
I heard from the maid who was assigned to clean Chuyuan by the steward that every summer and autumn, there are not enough people to pick fruits. On several occasions, we even borrowed the help of nearby villagers to help us get the time. Of course, we came to help.
When the villagers returned, in addition to the temporary employment rewards, they also carried a large basket of seasonal fruits as a thank you gift.
Hmm, what are the fruits that can be picked in early summer? Jinxi propped up her chin and thought carefully. Cherries, nectarines, loquats...
You can mobilize all the people in the other courtyard to hold a fruit-picking competition. You can even drag in the aunts and concubines of each room. Book fans also like to read: In the end, the winner can be determined based on who has more and who has less, and the winner will be rewarded.
material rewards.
Otherwise, after two months, it will still be boring to stay in another courtyard all day long. I have to think of some entertainment programs to make it lively.
As for soaking in hot springs, because she is still small, she cannot withstand soaking in the hot spring water for a long time. She can experience it a few times at most, and each time only lasts for about ten minutes. It is also good to satisfy her cravings. After all, the hot springs in Xiaotangshan are among the best.
What about future generations?
"Gege, dinner has arrived from the big kitchen. Fujin sent Sister Xia'er to say that the master has returned to Xinyuan and asked Gege if he would like to come and have dinner with us?" Mo'er opened the door curtain and came in to report.
When Jinxi heard this, she secretly laughed at the cleverness of the cheap mother. This was a different trick to inform herself that the cheap dad was back. Even if she wanted to go over to greet her and chat, she had to take it easy. Don't let the cheap dad catch her and pull her by the head again.
I'm going to the study to practice Chinese calligraphy and memorize women's rings.
"No, you go back to Sister Xia'er. Just say that I had dinner and wanted to go to bed early. I'm afraid I won't be able to get up tomorrow to go to Yunxi Pavilion to enjoy the flowers and drink tea." Jinxi smiled and ordered Mo'er,
Xuan studied the topographic map on the table again.
………………
"This girl! She just said she wanted to come over to chat with me, but she immediately said she wanted to take a rest. She also said she was worried about not being able to make the appointment at Yunxi Pavilion tomorrow morning." After listening to Xia'er's story, Minrong smiled and shook her head.
"Isn't this great? You should get some rest early when you are pregnant. My daughter is much more sensible than you. There will be more opportunities for the mother and daughter to chat in the future. There is no rush." Fei Yanggu was drinking tea.
Hearing Minrong's muttering, he couldn't help but answer.
Minrong smiled when he heard the words. How could he not understand his daughter's little cleverness? It's just that he couldn't say it directly in front of the master. Otherwise, with his irritable temper, he would still yell to go to his daughter to settle accounts.
.
Tsk! This father and daughter! I don’t know whose temper the daughter followed!
"I just made a plan with Manager Lin. Tomorrow we will go to Yunxi Pavilion to taste the flowers. The day after tomorrow, we will go to the farm at the foot of the mountain to taste game. As for the future, there is no guarantee that the emperor will come to our villa someday.
, I won’t arrange activities specially. If you want to play or go, let the maids accompany you. It’s okay to take a bath in the hot spring bath. Just pay attention to safety. Especially you, if you are pregnant, don’t go into the hot spring pool.
Firstly, the ground is slippery and unsafe, and secondly, the doctor said that bathing in too hot water can easily hurt the fetus." Feiyanggu thought for a moment, flicked the lid of the teacup with his fingers, and said seriously that he had already
There are arrangements.
"The emperor is coming? This... we haven't even prepared formal attire... What should we do?" Minrong was stunned when she heard this. She even ignored Fei Yanggu's list of safety issues later and was just anxious.
He walked in circles, thinking "what to do".
"What are you worried about! The emperor is only traveling incognito, and he must be wearing regular clothes, so there is no need to be nervous. Oh...be careful of the child in your belly!" Fei Yanggu gave her a funny look, and continued to persuade her soothingly: "Stop talking.
, the emperor only said that he might come, but did not give me any accurate information, which means that he does not want us to mobilize our troops. Just treat it with a normal mind."
"That's what I said, but after all, he is the emperor..." Minrong was still a little anxious.
Fei Yanggu sighed softly and said "Let's have a meal" to Xia'er who was waiting outside the door. Then he got up and took Minrong to the dining table. The two were ready to enjoy the first meal after arriving in the other courtyard.
Dinner.
"Okay, don't think too much. The reason why I told you in advance is because I don't want you to be too nervous if you know it temporarily. Who knows, it will harm you. If you start to worry from now on, it will be fine when the emperor comes.
, if you don’t come, wouldn’t it mean that you have been worrying for so many days in vain?”
"Who told you not to tell me when you were in the house? If you were fully prepared, who would be so worried!" Hearing Fei Yanggu say this, Minrong couldn't help but glance at him and complained to him coquettishly.
"Yes, yes, yes, it's all mine! I accept the punishment! How about three cups?" Seeing that the maids had neatly put the dinner on the table one by one, Fei Yanggu took a cup with a smile and poured a small drink for himself.
He raised the cup to Minrong and said, "Well, it's all the master's fault for making Fujin worried! Done!" After that, he drank it all.
Minrong was so angry and funny when he saw him like this. Wouldn't it be fulfilling his wish to let him drink as punishment? Isn't this still a punishment? Book fans also like to read:!
However, seeing that he was trying to comfort himself, he reluctantly accepted it.
…………………………
Xiaotang Mountain, located in the eastern part of Changping County, covers an area of about 70 acres. It can be said to be almost surrounded by mountains, because the altitude of these hills is not high, with an average of only forty or fifty meters. Therefore, starting from Daliao, one after another
A lot of villagers came to settle here. Especially after the former emperor built a forbidden garden here, more and more refugees moved here. Until the early years of Kangxi, a village of moderate scale and complete supporting facilities had been formed here.
It is considered a complete mature village.
Xiaotangshan has hundreds of hills, large and small, in total. Meishan in Feiyang Ancient Building is one of the hills with a higher altitude. However, according to visual inspection, it does not exceed fifty meters. If you think about it, walk halfway up
You won't feel sore in your legs and feet even though you are in Yunxi Pavilion. It can be seen that Meishan is neither high nor steep.
Meishan connects Fengshan to the east and Yishan to the west. Even further away, I don’t know the specific names of the mountains.
Not all the hills in Xiaotang Mountain have hot springs at their foothills. At least according to the maid cleaning in Chuyuan, Fengshan and Yishan have the most flowers, plants, fruit trees, and tea trees that have been passed down from generation to generation or have grown wild.
Yes, there are all kinds of strange rocks and hot springs, but there are none.
All kinds of large and small stones used in Meishan Villa, such as the large bluestones surrounding the pool, the cobblestones in the courtyard, and the rockery for ornamental use, are all mined from these mountains. This saves both purchasing and transportation costs.
. Kill two birds with one stone.
"It is said that the royal forbidden garden of the previous dynasty was built at the foot of the opposite mountain. It is unknown why it was demolished by the former emperor. It must be because he was worried that the remnants of the Ming Dynasty were waiting for an opportunity to cause chaos."
In Yunxi Pavilion, Fei Yanggu sat at the head of the table, surrounded by his wives, concubines and children.
Fei Yanggu looked at ease while sipping the silver bud tea produced by Xiaotang Mountain. Looking into the distance, the hazy mountain top at the other end of Xiaotang Mountain was faintly visible.
"Ama, is there a hot spring at the foot of the mountain where the Forbidden Garden was demolished?" Jinxi only focused on this. Book fans also like to read: She was very upset about the fact that she had no money to buy the hot spring in the circle.
"Haha, this girl has been thinking about this all day long. Even if the forbidden garden is demolished, that place still belongs to the emperor." Fei Yanggu laughed and immediately dismissed Jinxi's Xiao Jiujiu.
"Amma, why don't you bring your brothers?" Jinxi touched her nose and changed the topic. She sipped her fragrant tea, twisted a piece of plum blossom cake and chewed it slowly, thinking of the two poor brothers who were left behind in the mansion.
, couldn’t help but ask.
"You are a sweetheart!" Fei Yanggu glanced at her with a smile. Seeing that her mouth was full of delicious food, he couldn't help but twist a piece of plum blossom cake and stuff it into her mouth. "Your two brothers will be eating in a few days."
Now that you have entered the Imperial College to study, how can you be as free and comfortable as you?"
"That's Tuoama's blessing!" Jin Xi narrowed her eyes and smiled.
"Wrong! That's because of the emperor's blessing! Without this land that the emperor rewarded, how would you and I have thought of building a villa here?" Fei Yanggu raised his hand and knocked Jinxi on the head, grinning while she bared his teeth.
explained hahaha.
"Speaking of the emperor, I would like to remind you that in a few days, the emperor may come to visit our other courtyard. By then, everyone will stay in their own courtyards so as not to bump into the emperor." Fei Yang frowned.
, Zhengse Tao.
"Master, don't you guys need to go out and kneel down to thank Long En?" Shen Liqiu couldn't help but ask. It's such an honor to be lucky enough to meet Tianyan.
"No need. Your Majesty will have no time to summon you. At most, Fujin will go out with me to greet the Holy Master." Fei Yanggu silenced Xiao Jiujiu, who was Shen Liqiu's scheming, with just one sentence.
I originally wanted to take this opportunity to show off my knowledge and talent in front of the emperor, so that the emperor could look at me with admiration and thus improve my status in the eyes of the master again. But it's a pity...
From the corner of his eyes, he saw Shen Liqiu unwillingly wringing the handkerchief in her hands. Jin Xi couldn't help but sigh to herself: Fortunately, she was stopped by her cheap dad. Otherwise, who knows what troubles Aunt Qiu, who loves to be in the limelight, would cause. (To be continued.
