The news spread that Concubine Jia was planning to get married, and the family began to renovate the mansion to welcome the concubine.
The construction of the Grand View Garden has begun, and the financial resources of the Jia family are clearly revealed at this moment. This is not something that a Marquis family that has been passed down for generations can have.
After the house became busy, no one had time to look for Lin Daiyu. For a while, the three of them felt uneasy.
In the small courtyard, two girls were leaning on the railing, their eyes dull, and their fingertips like peeling onions were stroking the ends of their hair.
"I really miss Zhengjingmen." Lin Daiyu said, holding her chin and looking at the parrot in the cage hanging outside the window.
"Do you also think that this Jia Mansion is just like a bird cage?" Jin Lian twisted her waist and stretched her arms, yawned, and there was a hint of laziness in her eyes.
For her, it didn't matter whether she was in Zhengjingmen or Jia's Mansion, as long as she was by Li Yu's side.
"Yeah." Lin Daiyu nodded heavily, feeling quite like she had met a close friend. She moved her fingers, and a small ax appeared in her hand, and she used it to gently sharpen a wooden stick.
After peeling it, Jin Lian made her a popsicle to eat, which was her only pastime.
If she was really allowed to play with the ladies of the Jia family, it would be better to stay here in a daze, which would make her feel more uncomfortable.
After staying in a place like Zhengjingmen for a long time, it is indeed difficult to tolerate the Jia Mansion. In the current era of the Six Dynasties, Zhengjingmen is a rare paradise.
Of course, the lifeless Jia Mansion cannot be compared with the serious family. There is fun every day there. You can participate in various interesting competitions, strange games, and various activities.
If you want, you can follow the aquatic monsters to play at the bottom of the lake, you can refine a pot of elixirs in the alchemy furnace, and you can open an open space in the back mountain to plant your favorite fairy grass.
There was a sound of footsteps outside, and Jin Lian immediately tugged on the corner of her clothes. Xue Pan shouted outside, "Let's go and see the people who built the yard. They are really amazing!"
"What's there to see? Brother Li Yu built the first garden of the Six Dynasties in Bianliang in just three days!" Although Jin Lian said this, she quickly went to the ground to watch the excitement. After all, it was too boring here.
Lin Daiyu wore a red crane fur and green embroidered shoes with bright yellow tips. She put away her small ax and said happily: "It's better than no excitement at all. I didn't see Brother Yu building the garden. I'll let him go back another day."
I won’t believe it until you build another one.”
The three of them arrived at the Grand View Garden. Even Jin Lian, who was initially disdainful, was shocked by what he saw.
The craftsmen invited by the Jia family are truly ingenious. Their techniques are no worse than those of Li Yu, and the details are even better.
This is no longer fast, it is simply moving mountains and reclaiming seas, shrinking land into inches, and building gardens is in their hands, as easy as children kneading mud or building sand sculptures on the beach.
They dug out an artificial lake in the original inner courtyard and built pavilions and pavilions on it, connected by flying bridges, making it possible for cruise ships;
A hollow dam was built outside the ring, and a sluice was set up to control access. The water flow was not drawn from the Qinhuai River, but from the spring water in Qingxu Temple. In this way, a wide quilted manor was built near the water. Most of the buildings were exquisite.
Flying over the lake, the lake view enters the garden, and the garden enters the lake, becoming a veritable grand view garden.
Then he built a separate water-wind pavilion in a secluded place in the garden. Although it is not far from the shore, it is isolated on three sides. There is only a long corridor connected to the pavilion. The pavilion is open on all sides and separated by screens, so that the lake breeze can flow out.
The whole room is cool together, making it a good place to escape the heat.
"Awesome!"
It can be completed, the only drawback is that it is a bit expensive.”
"From the Kingdom of Shu?" Jin Lian tilted his head and thought to himself, brother Li Yu has the best relationship with the Kingdom of Shu. I wonder if they know each other.
She turned around and asked: "Brother Xue, what are the names of these people?"
"It is said that it is called Tiangong Pavilion. Although they claim to be a non-governmental organization, everyone knows that these people are from the court of Shu. They come out to make money to feed Shu's huge army."
Even Xue Pan knew about this, and everyone probably knew about it, but in the Song and Ming Dynasties, there were many families like the Jia family that needed Tiangong Pavilion.
They do these things with great skill and artistry, and they satisfy their employers almost every time.
When encountering employers who have little pursuit, they simply exceed their original expectations. Many wealthy families spend a lot of money. In addition to the set price, they will even pay extra to express their satisfaction.
If Li Yu were here, he would know without even thinking that this Tiangong Pavilion must have been trained by Huang Yueying.
Many young ladies, wives, and young masters from the Jia family came together to watch this "city building".
One of them, wearing silk and brocade clothes, accidentally saw Jin Lian. His eyes suddenly lit up. He called to the boy beside him and asked, "Who is over there?"
"Sir, it was brought by Miss Lin, the granddaughter of the old lady, a relative from Rongguo Mansion."
"So she's a maid?"
"It seems that he is from the same school as Miss Lin."
It was Jia Zhen who asked the question. He rolled his eyes and said, "Go and ask me about it."
Jin Lian felt a strange feeling. She turned around sharply and saw someone staring at her from the opposite side.
She had seen this situation many times, but when the person opposite saw Jin Lian looking over, he still didn't turn his head, and even showed a somewhat lewd smile.
Jin Lian's pretty face turned cold. She remembered this person's appearance in her heart and couldn't help but twist her fingers gently.
The bad thing is that Jin Lian's appearance is too charming. She is obviously angry, but in Jia Zhen's eyes, it is not the case.
He thought that the beauty was interested, so he couldn't help but be moved in his heart and began to pursue the beauty.
Jia Zhen's identity allowed him to roam the flower market all the time, and there were not many women he wanted that he couldn't get.
Although Jin Lian is not very old, she has been working as a maid in someone else's house since she was a child. This person's eyes are so familiar that they remind her of a person, the Zhang Dahu whom she buried in the well.
Their eyes were so similar that Jin Lian sneered in her heart, her brows furrowed slightly, and she already had murderous intentions.
Despite her weak appearance, she seems to fall over when pushed and cry when touched, but her heart is actually different from Li Yu's. Li Yu looks a little careless and has killed many people over the years, but in fact he is an orthodox great sage.
Most of the killings are self-defense, otherwise they are counter-killings. Li Yu's actions reveal his compassion for everyone. When he encounters injustice, he will definitely take care of it, and when he encounters poor people, he will probably lend a helping hand.
When he saw the people of the Song Dynasty suffering, he would take the risk to launch a coup. When he saw the resentment of the people of the Ming Dynasty, he would resurrect Zhu Biao, even if he was blamed for it, he would not hesitate. This is the Daliang Sage and the most authentic Taiping.
road.
Jin Lian, on the other hand, does not have much kindness or disgust. She has a small heart and only has two things. Apart from her attachment and admiration for Li Yu, she is to protect her subconscious. She is very good to every little sister because she knows that she
Only by being kind to them will Brother Li Yu be happy.
If she is given another 10,000 chances, she will push Zhang Dahu into the well without hesitation. This is her nature.
The look in the person's eyes reminded her of many bad memories. Those were the days when Li Yu didn't show up, which was the darkest time in her life.
Even now, she still occasionally dreams about that unbearable memory in her nightmares.
Following the movement of her hand, an ice needle quickly passed through the bottom of the water. Jin Lian wanted to teach this hateful person a lesson.
Suddenly, a craftsman from Tiangong Pavilion who was performing magic in the lake, with a goatee and about fifty years old, looked over.
As soon as he moved his feet, there was a bang in the water, and Jin Lian's ice needle was stopped.
Tiangong Pavilion's companions grabbed him and signaled him not to meddle in other people's business. Only then did Goatee give up.
Jin Lian didn't panic at all, she was very calm, especially at this time. After giving Jia Zhen a deep look, she turned and left.
Daiyu asked from behind: "Sister Lian'er, why are you leaving?"
"I feel a little uncomfortable, go back and take a nap."
Xue Pan laughed and said: "I probably miss my big brother Li Yu."
This guy made random jokes regardless of the occasion. Logically speaking, Jin Lian should be very angry, but instead of being angry, she was actually a lot happier, and Xue Pan was particularly pleasing to the eye. She hooked her hair with her little finger and smiled softly,
Turn around and leave.
Jia Zhen only thought that she looked favorably on him, and couldn't help but feel proud, thinking that this time he was sure of it again. Seeing Jin Lian's various charms, he couldn't help but feel even more itchy. It was precisely because Jia Zhen was a veteran of flowers that he could see it at a glance
The beauty of Jin Lian is that her facial features may not be as refined as those of the other ladies in the house, or at least not as good-looking as Lin Daiyu next to her.
But such a woman, with spring in her eyes and charming lips, is a unique gift to men. Only those who can enjoy it for a while will know the joy of it.
Suddenly, a voice rang in his ear, "Idiot, did you know that you just walked around the gate of the underworld!"
Jia Zhen was very frightened when she heard this sound. This sound was like a nightmare to him.
When the servants saw Master Zhen, they felt as if they had seen a ghost. They left in despair and were at a loss. They were called by Jia Zhen and said they had errands to give. Now that Jia Zhen left, they were in trouble.
.
Jia Zhen was very harsh on her subordinates, beating and scolding them at every turn. Without his orders, these people would either leave or stay.
They turned around and saw a seventeen or eight-year-old boy next to them. He had a handsome face, a handsome figure, a light fur belt, and beautiful clothes. It was Jia Rong. Since Brother Rong was still there, the servants came up one after another.
He asked: "Brother Rong, why did the master leave so suddenly?"
"Ask me, who will I ask?" Jia Rong said nonchalantly: "You thieves are the most sinister. You want to come to me to talk about it. When the time comes, I will blame you, and you can pull me out to take the blame."
The steward complained bitterly: "Brother Rong, you have unjustly killed these little people. Even if we are so brave, we don't dare to plot against you. Who are you? You are the master, we are the slaves...
."
Jia Rong waved his hand impatiently and said, "I'm too lazy to talk nonsense to you."
After saying that, he turned around and left. He had already had dirty thoughts in his heart. A few days ago, when he and Uncle Lian were on their way back home from Tiekang Temple, Uncle Lian kept praising his second aunt for how beautiful and nice she was.
, soft-spoken, admirable and lovely everywhere.
He also said something like, "Everyone says your aunt is nice, but from what I see, she's not even close to your second aunt."
The speaker has a heart, and the listener also has a heart. Jia Rong suddenly became obsessed with it.
Looking at my father's appearance today, it was obvious that he had been reprimanded by that person, and most likely he was even called in. This time he would not be honest for a few days.
While Jia Rong was gloating about his misfortune, he was planning to seize the opportunity to seize his father's two concubines.
As he walked, he thought about it. The second uncle said that his aunt was worthless, but he was extremely greedy when he looked at her. By the way, there was also that girl Ping'er. That girl Ping'er was also a very pretty and handsome girl. If
Wouldn’t it be bliss to get it in your hands and play with it for a while?
---
Pan Jinlian walked halfway, and suddenly a middle-aged man stood in front of him. He turned his back to Pan Jinlian and said, "Little girl, I see you are not very old, why are you so vicious."
"Uncle, you should mind your own business and know the beginning and the end."
"Haha, it's wrong to hurt people after all." Goatbeard twisted his beard and said with a smile: "I think you are quite capable. If you can abandon evil and do good, you may not be hopeless. So, are you willing to come with us?
Go to Tiangong Pavilion of Shu Kingdom."
Pan Jinlian didn't expect him to say these words, and said curiously: "I don't know how to build a house..."
"Building a house... that's just a small thing. You went to Shu and there are bigger things waiting for you to do. If you can do it, your life will be in vain."
Pan Jinlian was irritated. She felt that her life was not in vain.
"This is about reviving the Han Dynasty!"
"Not interested."
Pan Jinlian shook her head, turned around and left.
Goatee was a little embarrassed. He stayed for a while, shook his head and said: "Rotten wood cannot be carved."
In addition to building gardens for wealthy families from various countries, Tiangong Pavilion was also responsible for recruiting talents for the Shu Kingdom. At this time, the Han Dynasty had just been defeated for several decades, and many people still missed the Han Dynasty.
After all, it was an extremely powerful empire. Even when it collapsed and perished, its national power was extremely powerful and its army was invincible.
Behind him, a short man smiled and said, "Do you know who she is?"
"who?"
"This is the disciple of Li Yu, the headmaster of the Zheng Jing Sect. You came to poach her, and it's not in vain."
"How did you know?"
The short man smiled and said: "I saw his wooden plate in Wuhou's Mansion, and it had portraits of people close to him on it."
"Does the higher-ups pay so much attention to this Li Yu?" Goatee couldn't believe it. As a member of Tiangong Pavilion, he knew what it meant to have this note in Wuhou Mansion...
If this is the case, that Li Yu must be the most powerful person in the Six Dynasties. I just wanted to poach someone else's apprentice, wasn't I humiliating myself...
"What do you think..." the short man said with lingering fear, "I stopped you at that time, but I didn't expect you to still give up."
In fact, they have a bit of misunderstanding about this matter. Generally, the people who deserve such labeling are the top people in the Six Dynasties.
Li Yu was able to win this honor because of another thing. Zhuge Liang calculated that he was a secret from the sky, a demon star from the sky that would change the secret from the sky, so he paid special attention to him.
"Don't worry about it. Let's finish this business as soon as possible and leave for Yanjing. This family looks prosperous and is a home of poetry, calligraphy and etiquette. In fact, it is rotten to the core. Males steal and female prostitutes have no moral integrity. It's depressing.
It’s disgusting, I feel sick even if I stay here for a whole day.”
