The villa in Shitang Zhuhai occupies a large area, covering several hundred acres, but the main body of the villa is only about a thousand square meters. It is built on a gentle slope, with dense roads on both sides and back.

In front of the bamboo forest, there is an open space full of flowers and plants. Standing on the front porch of the house, you can clearly see the beautiful scenery of Jiulong Lake not far away. When the breeze blows, you can enjoy the bamboo shadows on the lake. This scenery is also enough.

It's intoxicating.

There are many courtyards inside the villa, all of which are connected by wide corridors. People can walk through the entire house without passing through the open air when walking under the corridors. This design is very practical on rainy and snowy days.

Compared with ordinary houses, this house not only has a square and spacious layout, but also has larger doors and windows, which allows as much breeze to blow into the room as possible, making the house very cool. However, since the house is surrounded by verandas, it is not

Don't worry that when wind and rain come, they will blow into the house through the wide windows and wet everything in the house.

As for the verandah outside the house, Qin Hanzhen noticed that under the eaves of the verandah, there were grooves on the verandah pillars that were flat and formed a straight line. After asking the waiters in the other house, he found out that there were three warehouses of paper in the warehouse of the back house.

The movable window leaf can be moved and stuck into the groove at any time, turning the veranda with ventilation from all sides into a sealed inner corridor. When it snows in winter, you don’t have to go out in the wind and snow. You can also walk around the verandah all over the world.

Living at home is very convenient. The wisdom of the ancients cannot be underestimated.

The house is spacious and airy, and although there is not much furniture, it has everything you should have. There are also many flowers and plants planted in the yard in front and behind the house. They also piled some lake stones, dug a pond, and raised lotus flowers.

Although the scenery of the fish is average, the surrounding bamboo forest and lake scenery alone are pleasant enough, and there is no need to impose high taste on the person who designed the courtyard.

In addition to the main house, there are many auxiliary buildings within the villa. For example, there is a small pier by the lake, with boats tied to the pier for people who live here to go boating on the lake; there are also a series of bamboo corridors built along the lake shore.

, people can walk slowly inside and enjoy the scenery; in the bamboo forest, on the nearby hillside, there is a small grass pavilion for people to rest, etc. This area is the private reservation of the owner.

, even snakes, insects, rats and mosquitoes have been eliminated, let alone other people's homes. The male and female servants in the other industry live in a row house a hundred feet away from the main house, and the nearest neighbor's house is three miles away. There is a fence

There is a two-person-high earthen wall built against the property to keep outsiders out of this quiet mountain forest. To get to the nearest village market, you have to walk at least five miles.

This is indeed a quiet and good place to escape the summer heat. However, in the opinion of the host, it may be a little too remote. No wonder the host family would rather go to Hangzhou West Lake to escape the summer heat than come to this stone pond and bamboo sea.

But Qin Bai liked this place very much. As soon as he saw the endless bamboo forest in front of and behind the house, he immediately fell in love with this place and couldn't help but recite a few poems. Qin Hanzhen was a little far away and didn't listen.

I knew exactly what he was reciting, but I felt that it was not a familiar poem, but probably composed by himself, reciting the scenery of the bamboo forest. Wu Shaoying also sang harmony with him and recited a few lines.

Qin Hanzhen asked herself that she was not that refined person, so she just dragged Zhao Mo around and looked at the scenery inside and outside the house. What she liked most about this place was that it was surrounded by the owner's private land, and there were no outsiders, so she could

Don't worry, she can run around and no one will stop her. God knows, except in Qinzhuang, Xiang

There are very few places where she can move around freely. But Qinzhuang is full of houses and clansmen. In the Chengenhou Mansion, there are also many maids and women in the Chengenhou Mansion, separated by overlapping courtyards.

This place has a wide view and few people. It is indeed a good place to relax and have fun!

Qin Hanzhen and Zhao Mo looked around. There was a woman who stayed with the host to wait on them. She introduced them to the beautiful scenery in a soft voice. There were many benefits that outsiders could not see, and it had a unique wild charm. If there was anything lacking,

That's probably because there are a lot of mosquitoes here. But Qin Hanzhen had prepared mosquito repellent before arriving and was not afraid of them.

The mother-in-law also talked about the bamboo shoots that could be dug in the bamboo forest, saying they were fresher and more delicious than those found elsewhere. Qin Han was really interested in what she said and asked hurriedly: "Can we dig bamboo shoots to eat while we live here?"

The mother-in-law smiled and said: "What's the point? There are tens of thousands of acres of bamboo here. How can your distinguished guest dig up all the bamboo shoots in the forest? I'm not afraid of your laughter. I'm afraid that even if you really dig up all the bamboo shoots, you only need to dig up all the bamboo shoots."

Don't burn the bamboo forest. In a few months, there will be many fresh bamboo shoots growing in the forest."

Qin Hanzhen said with a smile: "That's really convenient. It makes me want a bamboo forest."

Zhao Mo blinked and said: "When I went to Huzhou last year, I also saw a large sea of ​​bamboo there. Therefore, Hu pen and Hu paper are rich there. Since there is such a large bamboo forest here, I just dig some bamboo shoots to eat.

, but it’s a pity.”

The mother-in-law said: "In addition to bamboo shoots, our tofu here is also very famous. Distinguished guests can try it. We can't compare to the ones in Huzhou that are full of paper and pens, but there are also a few interesting bamboo products. They are everywhere in the forest.

It's bamboo. If your distinguished guest wants to do something, there are many places in the nearby villages.

There are bamboo craftsmen in and around the town, so you can just tell him to cut bamboo and make it, and I guarantee that it will satisfy you. These bamboo craftsmen have no other livelihood except making small gadgets and selling them in the market.

If a distinguished guest is happy for a moment, it would be his good fortune to reward him with a few coins."

Qin Hanzhen became more interested when he heard that there was such a supporting game project, so he discussed with Zhao Mo whether he should make some river lanterns, lanterns, etc. in advance to prepare for the Chinese Valentine's Day and Mid-Autumn Festival.

Originally, their family was planning to return to the capital, but now that Brother Zi has just arrived, it would be a pity to leave so soon. Besides, his father Qin Ping mentioned the matter of relocation of the Guan family's grave before his father went south, so they would have to wait until the Guan family's death.

The coffin was transported from the northwest

Come, let's choose an auspicious day to bury them in the ancestral graves, and then pay homage...I'm afraid I'll have to wait until next spring before talking about returning to Beijing. However, their family has nothing important to do in Beijing now, so they can play outside for the first half of the year.

There is no hindrance.

While Qin Hanzhen and Zhao Mo were discussing, they turned back to the main courtyard to go to the bedroom. Niu had just visited the main courtyard and was quite satisfied with the cleanliness of the place. She called the mother-in-law who was waiting here to ask about the house.

Seeing that his granddaughter and Zhao Mo were back, he hurriedly asked them to sit down and have some tea and rest: "After riding the carriage for a long time, Guanglu was carrying heavy traffic all the way.

We rode here on horseback under the bright sun. Aren't you hot, tired, and thirsty? As soon as we entered the door, we wandered around and couldn't even think of a glass of water to drink. I think the tea they have here has a bit more flavor, which is better than what we drink in Jinling.

It's more palatable. The wind is cool in this room, so you should sit down and have a rest. The kitchen is already cooking lunch, and I heard there are fresh bamboo shoots and fish."

Qin Hanzhen looked at Brother Zi who was lying on the bamboo couch in the Bisha cupboard: "What's wrong with Brother Zi? Is it really a heat stroke?"

Niu sighed: "How did I know? He was quite happy when he first came in, dragging Xia He around the front and back of the house. He was in good spirits. But after walking around, he looked like this wilted again. I

I was afraid that he was really hot on the road, so I asked him to lie down and rest. After dinner, give him a pill of Qingxin Pill and see how things go. I don’t know if there is a good doctor nearby. If there is, please come and give him one.

He needs to check his pulse to see if he is really sick."

The lady in charge of the other industry said: "Reporting to your distinguished guest, there are no good doctors around here. There is a small pharmacy in the town, and the shopkeeper inside does know some pharmacology. He usually gives people some medicine to treat headaches and brain fever.

I'm afraid the young master from the Hakka community has the guts to diagnose his pulse, but we haven't even dared to ask him yet."

When Mr. Niu heard this, he couldn't help but feel sad.

Qin Hanzhen said casually: "Grandpa also knows something about pharmacology. When we got out of the car, didn't he check Brother Zi's pulse? He said that Brother Zi was fine? I think Brother Zi just missed his little friend.

No matter how interesting this place is, if there is no one to play with him, what's the point? If I had known this was the case, he cried so miserably when he said goodbye to Brother Zhang and Brother Qi in the village in the morning, so we simply left Zhang

Brother, let’s bring him along to keep him company. Anyway, Uncle Kewen and Auntie Kewen in the fourth room are also happy to do it.”

Niu said angrily: "How can that be done? Brother Zhang's grandfather's birthday will be in a few days. How can his grandson not stay to celebrate the old man's birthday, but come out with us to play instead?" But in her heart, she still had it.

Those who loved their grandson couldn't bear to see him feel depressed anymore, so they said, "When it's your uncle's birthday, we'll have to send people to send gifts to celebrate his birthday. At that time, tell Brother Zhang's parents that we'll wait for your uncle's birthday."

As soon as it's over, our people will take Brother Zhang over. But Brother Qi can't do it. He is the grandson of the clan clan and can't leave the village easily."

Even if there is only Brother Zhang, it is enough to make Brother Zi happy. He finally has energy and a smile on his face.

When Qin Hanzhen saw it, he smiled and poked him on the forehead: "When did you learn to be weird? Since I miss your friends, just tell your grandparents clearly. Pretending to be sad here is not a good idea.

It makes grandma feel bad."

Brother Zi's face turned red when she said that. He lowered his head and whispered, "I don't want to be troublesome... I just miss my brothers a little. In fact, it will be fine in two days."

Qin Hanzhen smiled and said: "You have only been apart for a long time, and you miss your little brothers so much. What will you do when we return to the capital in the future? Do you want to stay with them?"

Brother Zi actually said to her innocently: "That's good too. It's fun to read and play with my brothers, but then I will miss my grandparents."

Qin Hanzhen blinked and couldn't help but "tsk".

Qin Bai was sitting on the porch outside the window, holding hands behind his back with Wu Shaoying while enjoying the cool air and chatting. Hearing what his grandson said in the room, he was silent for a long time.

Wu Shaoying whispered to him: "Teacher, what the student just said is not without purpose. Although Brother Zi is a child, he is very smart and can see the good intentions and malice of people around him most clearly. It's just that he is young and shy.

Just mention it to the elders. There are many people in the Marquis Mansion in Beijing, and there are many discussions about his life experience. Even after a few years, the rumors outside have gradually stopped, but the servants still have to talk about it. Even if the teacher and the wife of the housekeeper are strict, they are not allowed to do so.

When the family members mentioned it, how could outsiders be silenced? Moreover, Brother Zi was a boy, and it was impossible for him to stay at home in the future. He wanted to study, make friends, and take imperial examinations.

Outsiders come and go? Rumors are sinister. How can he, a child, endure it?"

Qin Bai sighed lightly, but still didn't speak.

Wu Shaoying continued: "In comparison, Qin Zhuang is much simpler. Most of the clansmen in the village rely on their teacher, and they would not dare to neglect him. Besides, there are clan brothers who are good friends with him.

As a companion. He is studying in the clan school, and in the future he will take the Tongsheng Examination in his hometown. By the time he needs to go back to Beijing, he will have grown up, so why should he be afraid of rumors? "
