Chapter 252 Hot Spring Zhuangzi
"Sir, our village covers an area of twenty acres. The most famous ones are the three hot spring houses in the village. Those hot spring houses were built by the late emperor when he was here. His Royal Highness, King Jin, had outstanding military exploits and suffered from injuries.
, In order to help His Highness the King of Jin recuperate, I gave this Zhuangzi to His Highness the King of Jin." Zhuangtou first explained the size and origin of the Zhuangzi.
Then he led everyone to take a closer look at the layout of Zhuangzi. Although it was Zhuangzi, it was all white walls and black tiles. It was divided into front and back yards. There were four independent courtyards, and there were three huge courtyards.
The most spectacular thing is undoubtedly the backyard. There are two hot springs in the backyard, separated by peach trees, and open-air houses were built around the hot springs. Because the Zhuangzi in the Jin Palace is the highest, you don’t have to worry about being seen in the open air, and of course you don’t want to open in the open.
Can also pull up the oilcloth.
In addition to peach trees, there are other types of fruit trees. It looks more like an extra pair of eyes among the fruit trees. The backyard of the twenty-acre farm occupies five acres.
The last hot spring is in the main courtyard. It is specially designed to be in the clean room of the main courtyard, so you can take a bath directly in the hot spring.
The main courtyard was given to Mrs. Yuan to live in. Chen Xiuyan's family and Princess Changshou lived in the back garden house closest to the main courtyard, and the nearest courtyard to the hot spring in the backyard.
Tao Lao and Wang Yajie live in Yasu Zhai, which is closest to the front yard. This courtyard is the largest courtyard except the main courtyard. Because there is a library in the house, this is also the most suitable place for Tao Lao and Wang Yajie to live.
Forget to read.
Coming to Zhuangzi is to enjoy hot springs. The men's and women's hot springs are separate, and the time period for bathing is also specified. They do not affect each other and each can enjoy themselves.
Zhuangzi also has a horse farm with ten acres of land. The horse farm is planned outside Zhuangzi. The King of Jin does not have so many horses to raise. He only needs to park his own horses and carriages and does not need such a large area, so this horse farm has become foggy.
A place for horses and carriages to be parked by the mountain public.
Of course, the land still belongs to Zhuangzi, the residence of Prince Jin. I can only say that His Highness, Prince Jin, is righteous.
The people who guard the racecourse are people from the village, and each family is also a sensible family. Every time they come to park their carriages and horses, they will pay some fees to the people watching the horse farm. They are so polite that they also give food to them, so this village is the most popular.
The most popular job is that of a racecourse guard because the rewards are the highest.
Chen Xiuyan and Chu Wenqian specially found a suitable place to store food. A relatively remote yard in the front yard was the most suitable, and it was also the place where food was stored in the farm.
On September 13th, the letter from Taiyuan Mansion arrived. The butler left behind in the Jin Prince's Mansion was Fuxing. He immediately had someone ride a horse to deliver it to Zhuangzi, while he personally entertained the messenger.
There were several letters sent from Taiyuan Mansion, which together made a thick stack. Some were addressed to Chu Wenqian and some to Chen Xiuyan.
The most gratifying news is that Luo Mingchu has passed the examination as a scholar. Princess Jin said in the letter that the marriage arrangements with the Wu family have begun. Going through the process, Luo Mingchu will get married next year.
It was more of their concern. Whether it was Princess Jin, Cai Baoxiang, Luo Mingxin, Liu's family members, etc., they all asked and cared about how they were doing in the capital, and asked them to write a reply as soon as possible.
After Chen Xiuyan read the letter, she let Hongzhu polish her ink in the room. She told all the recent events, including who had visited her, who had given her gifts, and what happened at the Flower Cake Festival. She did not hide anything.
Ten said.
Although what he said was true and detailed, every little thing revealed the situation in the capital. It reflected from the side that Chen Xiuyan used this point well.
Then he describes Random's growth and changes and how well-behaved he has always been. Recently, Ranran has become very good at turning over. He can't be away from people for a moment, even when sleeping, he will turn over. People are caught off guard and can only watch in turn.
He is so well-behaved, he never cries or howls when he has nothing to do, and he laughs when he sees many people. Although he has moved to another place, he adapted to it immediately. He is a little heavier, and his fair and tender face is extremely cute.
After writing the letter, Chen Xiuyan went to find Chu Wenqian. He went to the racecourse to go horse racing. Chen Xiuyan thought about calling him back as soon as possible, so that he could read the letter carefully and write a reply, so that he could be sent to Taiyuan Prefecture as soon as possible to put his heart at ease.
Chen Xiuyan walked for two-quarters of an hour before reaching the racecourse. The only disadvantage of Zhuangzi is that transportation can only be done on foot. It would take a quarter of an hour to go there and find someone. Chen Xiuyan only likes to go around such a large venue when she is doing sports.
When running, she is usually lazy, she can lie down but not sit, and she can sit but not stand.
What Chen Xiuyan didn't expect was that the racecourse was a bit lively at this time. There were many men and women. These people were looking at the women galloping on horses not far away. Yes, the people running on the racecourse were all women. They were wearing different colors of riding horses.
Dressed up and holding a stick in his hand, he hit Ju on the court in an attempt to hit the ball into the opponent's goal.
Chen Xiuyan really didn't expect the racecourse to be so lively. Chu Wenqian was just watching from the outside. There were several young people of the same age, older or younger standing around him.
Chu Wenqian was surrounded by people. The first person who saw Chen Xiuyan was a woman wearing pink clothes. She was about seventeen or eighteen years old. She was dressed up and dressed up. She did not go on stage, but was talking with many women of the same age. She happened to be facing
The direction Chen Xiuyan came from, so I saw it all at once.
"Which family is that from?" The woman in pink clothes pointed at Chen Xiuyan who was walking over and asked with curiosity on her face, "I have attended so many banquets and it seems like I have never seen her before."
After the woman in pink clothes finished speaking, many women turned their heads to look, some of them they knew and some they didn't.
"I've been away from the capital for too long, and I don't know you either." The person who said this was a sassy woman in a willow-colored riding suit. She was tall, with honey-colored skin, healthy and beautiful. She was the third young lady of the Qi family.
"It's only been two years since my third cousin left the capital. It's been a long time, but she just came here not long ago." The girl in goose-yellow clothes is the daughter of the Tang family, the Minister of Household Affairs.
She had met Chen Xiuyan that day. After all, she was sitting in front of the exam. After that day, everyone in the capital knew Chen Xiuyan.
"That is the Crown Princess of Jin." Miss Tang Wu explained.
"She?" Miss Qi San was a little surprised, "Didn't you say that Prince Jin has lived in the countryside for twenty years and married a village woman?"
"After all, the Chu family's blood is flowing all over them. Even in the countryside, they are very powerful. The number one scholar is always chosen by others. They are strong in ability and have high vision. How can they be ugly?" Miss Tang Wu tutted.
He said, "The appearance of this prince's concubine is really outstanding, and she can be ranked among the best in the capital."
