Chapter 438: The layout of the house, the embarrassment
Chapter 438: House layout, difficult things
In addition, this large but somewhat empty house is decorated.
The entire mansion was not built according to general regulations, but the main courtyard was divided into three.
One of them is where Liu Xiangling lives.
Liu Xiangling named it "Xiangzhuyuan". The name not only sounds peaceful, but also matches the names of the master and the servant.
The second one was named ‘Tingyuxuan’ by Shao Muyu.
As for Wanyan Yue’s residence, it is simpler and does not need to be changed at all. It will continue to be called ‘Chun Yue Residence’!
These three main courtyards are located on the north side of the entire house. Each courtyard has five entrances. The garden is its own garden. The scenery in the garden is also personally arranged according to the preferences of the three women.
In the Fragrant Bamboo Garden, there are green bamboos everywhere, which is quiet and atmospheric! In the Tingyu Pavilion, the pavilions and corridors are connected and surrounded by water, which is an exquisite Jiangnan scenery.
As for the place where the spring moon resides, there are rockeries covering the winter plum blossoms, and stone paths wandering in nine twists and turns.
In addition to these three main courtyards, a number of guest rooms are arranged in the east, and there are also several exquisite small courtyards.
However, the layout of these small courtyards is left to the master craftsmen in the garden, and Liu Xiangling and the girls naturally do not have that much experience.
As for the other locations, they are all like the Shen residences in Lin'an, with lush gardens.
Not to mention the pavilions and pavilions, the waterside pavilions and mountain walls are exquisite and ingenious! Because the house was very large, Liu Xiangling had a huge small lake dug out in the garden.
There is a small island standing on the lake, and the entire water flow surrounds it and spreads through the entire courtyard.
If it comes to summer, everyone can almost go boating in it...
The carriage that went to greet Cheng Ru was the first to come back, and Shen Tang also met his real mother-in-law for the first time!
When the mother-in-law and her son-in-law met, there was no such thing as a bride price or a garage.
And Cheng Ru was obviously very satisfied with this son-in-law.
He cares about his daughter, respects himself, is talented and capable, this is a good husband that is hard to find even with a lantern.
And this also made Cheng Ru lament once again how lucky her daughter was.
Even if the Liu family is still there and her husband is still in the court, it is not easy to find such a son-in-law.
However, Cheng Ru's situation went smoothly, but the convoy heading to Taihu brought Shen Tang news that made him dumbfounded.
Mr. Shao said it, but now he and Shao Muyu are not married, so their reputation is not justified.
Therefore, they will not come to Liancheng.
People even urged Shao Muyu to return to Taihu Lake for the holidays.
After hearing the news, Shen Tang couldn't help but think about it.
Mr. Shao has actually gradually acquiesced in the affairs between the two of him.
However, the old man is also a person who has a good face. Although part of the conditions of the original promise have been met, it still takes some trouble to get the old man to directly agree to the matter.
However, for this matter, even if he went there in person, it might not be effective, so he was really at a loss for a while...
With a large number of troops retreating, there are now only about 100,000 troops left in Sizhou. Zhang Jun has returned to Lin'an, of which 30,000 troops are stationed in Suzhou, led by Xin Qiji.
Bian Xi also led 30,000 troops to garrison in Hong County, and the remaining 40,000 or so troops were stationed in Sizhou under the command of Li Xianzhong.
Today, there are only five thousand soldiers left in Lingbi City, but more of them are used to repair the damaged city.
After all, judging from the current situation, neither the Song Dynasty nor the Jin Dynasty could attack Lianli City, so there was no need to leave too many troops stationed.
Before Zhang Jun left, he obviously had plans for Shen Tang.
Therefore, the three remaining generals are all people who are relatively close to Shen Tang.
Not to mention Bian Xi and Xin Qiji, they were all sworn brothers of Shen Tang. Even Li Xianzhong had a very good impression of Shen Tang.
What's more, after the Lingbi battle, it seems that Li Xianzhong still owed Shen Tang a favor.
If it were other arrogant generals, even if Shen Tang had great achievements, it would not be easy to convince them.
It is very likely that after Zhang Jun left, Shen Tang became an empty frame.
However, it is different now.
With Zhang Jun's order and Zhao Shen's will, the three of them will obey Shen Tang's command to the letter. Moreover, a large part of these troops are soldiers from the Lingbi battle. Therefore, although Shen Tang He is a fledgling newcomer, but he has no problem controlling the 100,000 troops in Sizhou...
"Brother Qi, why do I see that you look a little worried?"
Bian Xi came and told Shen Tang about the situation of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Hong County, and then the two brothers had a drink with each other.
Shen Tang smiled bitterly, and then told Bian Xi what happened to the Shao family in Taihu.
They are simply brothers, so there is no harm in talking about them.
After Bian Xi finished listening, he burst out laughing, "You Shen Tang has unparalleled literary talent, and you can win the first prize in three yuan exams in a row.
He is invincible in martial arts, and even veteran generals are willing to be defeated on the battlefield. However, now he is stumped by this matter.
If it were spread, wouldn't it make people laugh out loud?"
"If brother Qi is willing, how about I order all my troops and go straight to Taihu Lake to ensure that every member of the Shao family, young and old, is brought to Lianli City?"
Bian Xi said jokingly.
Shen Tang sighed helplessly, "Originally, I thought about asking Zhang Xiang to propose marriage to Mu Yu for me.
As Prime Minister Zhang, there is no problem.
However, the Chinese New Year was approaching and Prime Minister Zhang had to return to Lin'an, so there was a delay.
But I didn’t expect that this would happen.”
"Hehe! Actually, Mr. Shao, he just needs one more step.
Otherwise, if you and Miss Mu Yu are not married yet, but a whole family comes to your Lianli City, how will other people view it?"
Bian Xi said.
"My little brother also knows this, but the problem is, I can't think of how to give this step to the old man..."
Bian Xi grinned and drank the wine in the bowl in one gulp, "Don't worry, Brother Qi, just leave these little things to me."
How about I arrange everything for you and let Mr. Shao come to Lianli City happily?"
"real?
What do you want to do, brother?"
Shen Tang was overjoyed when he heard this!
Bian Xi waved his hand, "As for how to do it, you don't need to worry about it. Anyway, my eldest brother has agreed to this and I will never let you and Miss Mu Yu down."
Next, despite Shen Tang questioning him two or three times, Bian Xi remained silent, so Shen Tang had no choice but to give up!
After a banquet until dark, Bian Xi left Lianli City and returned to Hong County under the escort of his personal guards.
As for Shen Tang, he can only believe that Bian Xi can bring surprises to him.
