Chapter 988: Fresh and small courtyard, thick and big mansion
Chapter 988: Fresh courtyard, thick mansion
Shen Tang's team had just walked out of the government office not far away when they saw a green-roofed small sedan on the opposite side rushing towards them! Before they got close, the sedan stopped first, and a magistrate in green robes got out of the sedan and came to Shen Tang. before the church's team.
"I am sent to Jian Jiashi, the magistrate of Huayang County, to pay my respects to the magistrate!"
"Well, get up! What's going on in Jianzhi County?"
"I heard that your Excellency was going to Huayang County, so I didn't dare to neglect you and came here to welcome you!"
Jian Jiashi said respectfully.
"What I am doing is not official business. I am just accompanying my family to have fun for two or three days! There is no need to bother the magistrate to welcome you!"
Shen Tang said calmly.
Jian Jiashi apologized and said with a smile, "Xiaguan is familiar with all parts of Huayang County and can serve as a guide for you! From now on, if you don't need it, I won't dare to bother you!"
Shen Tang thought for a while, and then said, "Okay, I want to go to Zhengxing, so I can ask Magistrate Jian to help guide the way!"
The group of people were not in a hurry, so they walked for a long time for a distance of twenty to thirty miles, and they did not arrive until noon!
Looking at the small house located at the foot of the mountain in front of him, the magistrate Jian Jiashi was a little stunned. Which house does this belong to?
"My wife and I were originally from farming families, so we love the beauty of mountains and wilderness very much! Not long ago, I heard that the scenery here is picturesque, so I asked someone to buy a few acres of land and build this small courtyard!"
Shen Tang said calmly.
Jian Jiashi nodded quickly, "The magistrate has not forgotten his original intention, and he is a role model for us! Speaking of which, the mountains and rivers here are also beautiful, and it is indeed a good thing to have such a house and residence.
I can’t say, but if there is a chance in the future, it would be great for me to be a neighbor with you!"
"Hahaha!"
Shen Tang smiled and said, "I moved here just to avoid common people like you! If you come tomorrow and he comes the day after tomorrow, wouldn't that spoil my mood!"
"My lord is right!"
The magistrate said with an apologetic smile.
"Jianzhi County, now that you have arrived, I will not leave you here! I will be here for two days to relax, and then I will go back! Remember to keep this secret from me. If everyone knows about it, then I will I’m asking you!”
The magistrate nodded, "What else is missing, sir?"
Do you want me to lower my rank to help with the purchasing?"
"unnecessary!"
Shen Tang waved his hand, "I have already made arrangements before coming here! If necessary, we will talk about it then.
You should leave quickly, don’t disturb the interest of me and my wife!”
Seeing this, the magistrate bowed and said, "In that case, I will resign first!"
After the magistrate left, Shen Tang dismounted and came to Xiangling's sedan, "Madam, we're here! Why don't you get off the sedan!"
"arrive?"
Zhu'er's pretty face poked out of the sedan first. Perhaps she was too excited last night and was still a little confused now. She looked around for a moment and suddenly exclaimed, "Miss, come on, look at this house!"
While she was talking, Liu Xiangling had already stepped out of the sedan, but the next moment she was stunned! The house in front of her was exactly the same as the old house she and Shen Tang bought when they first arrived in Shanyin!
"Husband?"
Liu Xiangling was stunned and spoke!
"Let's go, I'll take you to see it!"
Shen Tang smiled and took Liu Xiangling's hand, and then entered the house! Sure enough, the layout and even the furnishings in the yard were very similar to the house in Shanyin. "Speaking of which, my biggest wish at the beginning was to stay in the house." There is that old house in Shanyin, and there is enough money to spend, and then we can grow old together with you! But after all, fate does not depend on our will. It cannot be said to be good or bad, but obviously we cannot go back."
"But, I want to tell you that in my heart, you will always be the most beautiful you were before! I remember our past and everything that happened after we met! No matter whether it is power, fame or fortune, in They are just floating clouds in my eyes! But you are the most important thing to me, Shen Tang..."
Listening to Shen Tang's whisper in her ear, Xiang Ling was filled with uncontrollable joy and love for Shen Tang! Her eyes were moist and red, and she threw herself directly into Shen Tang's arms regardless of the eyes of the people around her. Offering her own fragrant lips.
After a long while, the two of them calmed down a lot! Shen Tang held Xiang Ling in his arms and continued to walk towards the room, "This is the secret between you and me. No one will tell it! As long as the husband has free time, How about we secretly come here for a few days?"
"Um!"
Xiangling nodded shyly, her eyes fixed on Shen Tang and unable to look away! Her husband was so kind to her, even if he died now, it would be worth it.
Although the courtyard is not big, there are not many people here, so it is enough for everyone to live! Shen Tang found a bamboo chair and lay leisurely in the courtyard enjoying the warm winter sun. Xiangling and Zhuer took a few A maid is preparing the food.
This kind of leisure time is really fascinating.
About ten miles west of Fucheng is Sansheng Township, which belongs to Huayang County! The reason why it has such a name is because there is a high mountain here with undulating waves, called Sansheng Mountain!
Under the Three Holy Mountains, a house is surrounded by mountains and rivers!
Calling it a house is not quite correct, because this house far exceeds the area of an ordinary house!
Surrounded by a thick wall, the entire house covers an area of about a hundred acres! The wall is more than ten feet high, with crenels on it and a platform. The whole house does not look like a house, but more like a small city.
Close to the house, the entrance is to the south! Just like an ordinary house, there is a row of inverted houses first.
However, this inverted house is not only tall and heavy, but it is also covered by watchtowers, and the slope of the bluestone bricks is even more difficult to climb! The door is like a city gate, the tall mahogany door is closed tightly! The door is opened, and you pass through a road about two feet long. After the corridor, there is another door with the same lock.
After passing through these two gates, what comes into view is a huge screen wall!
A red sun rises slowly from the sea above this stone wall. Colorful clouds float in the sky. Several bats fly among the colorful clouds. Shoushan Mountain stands faintly in the sea. It is the blessed sea of Shoushan Mountain and Yinbin rises from the sun! This sea water faces the sun. The stone wall is not only majestic but also meticulously carved. It’s hard to tell how many skilled craftsmen spent so much energy on it.
After bypassing the stone wall, there is the main entrance of this huge house! Echoing the stone carved screen wall in front, this main entrance is the stone carved Wufu Gate! On both sides are stone carved door frames, with five bats with different expressions and postures carved on the door frames.
There is a pair of couplets on both sides of the border. The upper couplet is "When a tree grows, the willows will be buried", and the lower couplet is "The swallow's wing ends with Webster's Sutra".
The intention is to oppose Tao Yuanming's seclusion and seclusion from the world, and to praise Wei Xian and his son for serving as generals and ministers for governing the country and bringing peace to the people!
