The saying "mountain people have their own tricks" is enough to stop the villagers who are content with renovating their houses, but it cannot stop the curious Miss Zhu at all.
Although Zhang Shou succeeded in squeezing out part of the body he had accumulated for many years from his mother Wu, since he did not accept Zhu Ying's sincere kindness and accepted the brocade box containing the eldest lady's private money, he certainly could not refuse her now.
reasonable requirements.
At this moment, he glanced sideways at Zhu Ying beside him from time to time, worrying whether she could keep up on foot. After all, her stomach was growling from hunger the day before yesterday, and she was sweating profusely under the scorching sun, so she obviously lacked physical strength.
He was really impressed by her appearance. But every time he went to see her, he found that she was looking at him with great interest, and he could only look away helplessly.
Unable to bear it anymore, he asked abruptly: "Am I that good-looking?"
"Of course." Zhu Ying smiled generously, and then said to herself, "You are walking in the bamboo forest wearing a elegant green shirt, and your movements are elegant and natural. It is like a bamboo gentleman reappearing in the world. How can it not look good?"
Even if Zhang Shou comes from an era where those who are not thick-skinned will have nothing to eat, girls will often scream on various social media that so-and-so is good-looking and want to XXXX, and they can say with confidence that I just like your good-looking, and good-looking men are the best.
He is not a scumbag, but he is gradually becoming more open and influenced by modern culture.
And in this era where even unmarried girls in the countryside are shy and affectionate, Miss Zhu's behavior can be called bold. Thinking about Zhu Ying's clear likes and dislikes from the first time she met him.
, he couldn't help but laugh.
"What kind of gentleman, what you said makes me seem to be living in a different world. I don't have enough firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea. Besides, it's not like you haven't seen me killing animals, nor have you ever seen me near the kitchen, nor have you ever seen me go to the kitchen."
If you have seen me serving as a mistress to the boys in the village, you should know that I am just a country boy living in the secular world, not so fresh and refined."
"So what?" Zhu Ying raised her eyebrows with a smile, "It's not like you feel sad about spring and autumn all day long, with big sleeves fluttering and skinny bones, as if you can ride the wind away at any time. That's the spirit of immortality. Ah Shou
You are just like this bamboo forest all over the mountain, the green is very moving and vivid. Don’t Buddhists always talk about joining the world and leaving the world? You are like a bamboo gentleman who has joined the world!"
"Okay, okay." Zhang Shou finally felt that it would be difficult to make a fool of himself in front of this young lady, so he could only surrender, "Don't talk about me anymore, you, a rich and beautiful peony, walking on this mountain road
You don't even blush or breath, I underestimated you."
"I told people that I was going to the countryside to inspect my family's property. What would it be like if I stayed at home all day? Besides, I'm very good at horseback riding and archery. I'll show you what I'm doing tomorrow!"
Zhu Ying raised her head slightly, but she was very satisfied with Zhang Shou's praise of her. She didn't think Peony was tacky. She would only think it tacky if he said that she was as graceful as a startling giant and as graceful as a swimming dragon.
Because the noble disciples in the capital have repeated all kinds of poems describing beautiful women to her countless times.
While feeling proud, Zhu Ying boasted: "I am not the kind of lady who is weak and sad for spring and autumn. On the first day I came, my second brother was so angry that I didn't eat much for several days. On the second day, I was
The sun is making me dizzy, but now it’s cool and the scenery is pretty good. I won’t feel tired even if I walk another twenty miles!”
As she spoke, she glanced at Zhang Shou sideways again and added something in her mind.
Besides, there was a handsome young man beside her, traveling in the bamboo forest with her. What wouldn't she want to do?
At this moment, the road suddenly came to an end, and what came into view was a tall and square screen wall, with bamboo tubes of different colors woven into a naive two-rolling pattern. On the screen wall, there were three vigorous and powerful characters that were different from Zhang Shou's previous handwriting.
words.
"Cuiyunjian."
Zhang Shou read it again, and when he saw Zhu Ying on the side was a little surprised, he smiled and walked quickly to lead the way. After turning into another inconspicuous path from the seemingly airtight bamboo forest on the side, after walking more than ten steps, he
Just turned around.
Sure enough, Zhu Ying was obviously stunned when she saw that sudden scene of enlightenment.
In the vast open space deep in the bamboo forest on the mountain, exquisite bamboo houses are scattered and decorated in an orderly manner, guarding the one in the center that is slightly yellowed. It is obviously old and has a somewhat primitive or old-fashioned style.
And there was the only plaque hanging on the bamboo house, which read "The breeze is coming slowly", which was exactly the same as the three characters "Cuiyunjian" on the screen wall.
As for the bamboo houses scattered around, they are obviously made of newer materials, and each one has a different shape. There are spires, sloped roofs, and domes. They are all made of bamboo frames, and the thatch on the roof is different in style.
Compared with the shabby cottages in the village, there is an air of tranquility here.
However, Zhang Shou knew that although the bamboo frame was brushed with tung oil, and a layer of oilcloth was spread between the thatch roof and the top of the bamboo frame, the lifespan of this kind of building was really hard to say. But in this era without acid rain,
It is not difficult to maintain it for several years, just like the bamboo house among them, which according to the villagers once lived an old hermit and two boy servants.
It's a pity that when he crossed over, this hermit in the depths of the bamboo forest had disappeared without a trace. Not to mention any classics, not even the bottles and jars of daily life were left behind. It may be that the shortcut to Zhongnan is difficult to achieve, and I can't stand this.
The hard days have returned to the world.
But he felt that the architectural style of this bamboo house was good, so he used various small favors to persuade the villagers during their off-farm time, and built bamboo houses one after another in the surrounding area in the past two or three years. He was planning to make something fake in the future.
The historic site attracts people's admiration, and attracts some scammers who are willing to spend money to stay here quietly.
In order to prevent bamboo shoots from growing wildly everywhere in spring and destroying the house, all bamboo houses are built on high elevated bases. Moreover, every spring, the half-year-old children in the village happily dig bamboo shoots in the forest, and often hide and seek under the bamboo houses.
, half to add food to the family table, and half to play.
He was just thinking about whether he should redo something new in the layout because the dandies might flock to him before he could attract the literati in his imagination, when he suddenly heard Zhu Ying burst into laughter.
"Those arty pig heads don't want to live in the village, let alone stay at your house, but nine times out of ten they will fall in love with this quiet and elegant place! But Ah Shou, to put it bluntly, those are the most lawless guys.
Even if they spend a lot of money on weekdays, it's difficult to get them to pay for accommodation. Even if people really flock here, I can't let me personally slaughter these fat sheep, right?"
Zhang Shou was thinking about this issue, but when he turned around to look at Zhu Ying who was very interested, he suddenly had an idea and thought of a very good idea...or rather, a bad idea.
"It is impossible to collect money. How can a reclusive expert who can create such a large bamboo forest be a profit-seeking businessman? However, if the condition of moving in is changed from paying money to solving problems, it should appear that
Isn’t it elegant enough? I can’t figure it out. Who can bear to lose face in front of you? Isn’t it natural to spend money to buy face like this?”
Well, I have said this, shouldn’t you understand that I am actually a vulgar young man who cares about money?
Zhang Shou thought so in his heart, but who knew that as soon as he finished speaking, he saw Zhu Ying looking at him with uncontrollable expectation.
"Is it possible that you plan to use those weird graphic questions to embarrass people?"
Although the eldest lady's reaction was unexpected, Zhang Shou, who had been hit several times, was not disappointed. He just smiled and said: "If you want to stump these people, why use geometry?"
Although Xu Guangqi is still unknown these days, the word geometry has not yet become popular... Moreover, the wisdom of the ancients cannot be underestimated. However, facing a group of dandies, it is necessary to use plane geometry or even solid geometry.
