Chapter 332 Mansion
The car passed a cement bridge at the fairy site and walked around Huanhua Creek. On one side of the cement road was a clear river, behind the Qingshui River, and on the other side was a row of gardens and tea houses.
"There is a Baihuatan Park here," Jiang Wu introduced: "The old men like to come here to have tea."
"The water quality is much better than that of Jinjiang just now." Zhou Zhi smiled and said, "I don't know if I can make tea."
"How is that possible?" Jiang Wu smiled so hard: "Although it is called Qingshuihe, if you drink this water, you will probably have a stomachache."
"Don't laugh." said the godfather: "Wangjiang Park, there were two Baihuatans in the past, with bamboo forests and many tea houses. The sign that was "River Water Tea"."
"The Jinjiang River was able to get the signature at that time."
"What year did it happen?" Jiang Wu was surprised now: "Why haven't I seen it before?"
"When Jinjiang was still open to navigation," said my godfather: "Jiuyan Bridge was originally called Jiuxian Bridge, which was the Water Gate and the Big Wharf of Shudu. Diagonally opposite was Xue Tao's tomb and Xue Taojing, which was the place where everyone liked to drink tea, and later became Wangjiang Park."
"That might have to be earlier than I thought..." Jiang Wu was completely speechless.
"I don't know when the year or month will be used to reappear the grand occasion of river tea..." Zhou Zhi was also sighing.
"It'll be here soon, look, it's the cottage."
The cottage is old and the walls are low. The trees inside the walls are quite old. On this side of the road outside the walls, a row of large Paulownia trees are a bit old.
I came here once last year and served as a tour guide for my friends. At that time, I didn’t know that there was a different world on the other side of Huanhua Creek.
After passing by the cottage, the road becomes desolate and even feels like a wilderness.
There is no municipal planning in this area. It used to be farmland, but now it has been relocated. There are only a lot of ruins, shrubs, and a few abandoned ponds left.
Zhou Zhi paid attention and found that there were no street lights in this area. Then the car entered a place surrounded by long white walls. After entering, it was found that it was a huge sand and gravel parking lot. On one side was a factory building, a shed, and various machinery. It was mostly Jiefang military trucks.
"The military region must ensure aid to Tibet every year. These are cars running the national highway, and the overhaul is repaired frequently." Jiang Wu introduced while passing through the factory.
"That's how the military is not poor..." Zhou Zhi murmured to himself as he looked at the green trucks on both sides: "There are so many military vehicles..."
"Stop making trouble!" Jiang Wu said: "You don't know how much you have to pull up every year!"
"Can I pass here in the future?" Zhou Zhi asked, "Don't sell my house and block the road, where can I cry?"
"Hahaha, then you just walk along the white wall!" Jiang Wu smiled and said, "But be careful at night. There are several big wolf dogs, and this is still a military dog training ground. Are you afraid of dogs?"
"I'm not afraid, I like it very much."
After leaving the factory, there is a small road. The cement pavement is a bit old, there are cracks on the pavement, and grass grows.
There are fine bamboo forests on both sides of the road, forming a tree-lined avenue, which is quite quiet.
Although the surrounding trees were hidden, Zhou Zhi found that this place was not ordinary before. For example, the car just passed by a pond, which was a standard round shape, surrounded by carved stones, and even rockery.
However, the pond is full of silt and black water, which shows that there is time and no one will manage it.
In addition, there are gardens and artificially paved walks.
Jiang Wu slowed down so that Zhou Zhi and his godfather could see the surrounding environment clearly.
The vehicle soon arrived at a cement wall and metal gate entrance.
The metal door is a Western-style iron gate. It can be seen that the workmanship of the past was still very exquisite, but now it is rusty.
"At this time, it's all in this door." Jiang Wu parked his car: "Get out of the car, I'll take you to see."
When the door was pushed open, Zhou Zhi's eyes lit up suddenly: "Oh..."
My godfather also looked ahead: "This house has been around for a long time."
"This place was originally a mansion for the surrendered officials. Later, the children took it abroad and donated it to the military region before going abroad."
"There is a bit off here. Fortunately, the victory is quiet and the scenery is beautiful. After the military region repaired it, it opened it into a nursing home for senior cadres."
"Later, after the military district hospital was repaired, in order to facilitate the health care of the old comrades, the sanatorium moved to the military district hospital, and that's what it is here..."
The place is quite good. The terrain here is the highest place around it. The whole is a section on a long halfway separated by two gables.
Then, stone embankments are built on both sides of this section, and spring, lotus, gardenia and willow trees are planted on the inner side, forming two green belts near Huanhua Creek and Qingshui River.
On the acre of ground surrounded by green belts and gables, there is a bluestone platform at the entrance, and on the platform is a pavilion with red columns and green tiles.
There are rows of wooden railings on both sides of the front of the Xuanxie. In front is an exit, and outside the exit is a pond. A stone bridge with a shaped like "公" leads to the opposite shore.
In the middle of the character "口" is a curved bridge, and the two horizontal bridges are also small stone bridges, leading to two small pavilions in the pond.
However, for the sake of ease of maintenance, there is only a little light water in the pond now, which is very ugly.
However, you can also see that the entire pond is made of stones. There is a place where the shape of the natural rocks is still retained, standing with the edge of the pond, perfectly combining nature and artificiality.
Zhou Zhi was stunned to see it. The artificiality of this pond alone was amazing.
Walking through Quqiao, you will be at the center of this place. A blue brick and blue tiles building with the style of the west wind rising from the east in the late Qing Dynasty was presented to Zhou Zhi.
The first floor of the mansion is raised, and it takes several steps to reach the main entrance.
Before entering the door, there is a long balcony extending to both sides of the building, decorated with Gothic stone pillars, which is quite like a colonial building.
The doors and windows are also original, but the quality seems to be amazing, and the lattice windows are not damaged at all.
Push open the door that was also lattice glass in the upper half and enter the museum.
The room has become a Chinese-style pattern again, with a lobby in the middle, two ear rooms on both sides, and two side rooms outside the ear rooms.
One of the two side halls is arranged in the form of a study room, and now it has become a utility room for old furniture and old bookcases. The other is a circular glass wall from the top to the bottom, but it is a tea room with a glass warm room style.
Five rooms, two hundred square meters, are really big enough.
The back wall of the main hall is magically designed, with a lot of solid wood decoration, which is a bit similar to a church. There is also a top pointed and a window in the middle, which is assembled from stained glass bricks.
There are two depressions on both sides of the church-like decorative wall, and the bottom is decorated with beautiful flower panels and handrails. When you walk there, you will find that there is a unique mystery. This is the staircase leading upstairs.
Follow the stairs to the second floor, here is a rectangular reception room. Opposite the reception room are three doors, leading to three rooms.
There is also a large balcony on both sides of the reception room.
Further up, there is a spire loft. Unlike other lofts, this is the largest room in the entire mansion, with a total of 150 square meters.
In front is a large circular window similar to the face of a large clock, and there are also a large window on both sides, making the entire attic look extremely bright.
Now this big attic is full of miscellaneous items.
