The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 906 House No. [-]!

"Such a lot of thought, such a big Daozhengfang, isn't it all connected to Xuanwu Lake?" Fang Yiai asked.

"Yes." Xuan Shijing confirmed: "Although it's a bit troublesome, it will be very convenient in the future. Do you think it's worth it?"

Fang Yiai turned her head and stopped talking.

The house is still empty now, and the windows have not been installed. These windows will have to wait for a while, because some new kilns have been built next to the cement kiln for firing colored glaze.

If you want high-purity and high-transparency colored glaze, it is definitely impossible to make it with the current process and technology, but as long as it is ordinary glass that is used to make windows, you can barely burn it out.

Isn't it just sand, there is plenty of it.

Walking into the interior of the house, the eyes are completely white. The walls are all plastered with white lime powder, which is flat and smooth. Obviously, the craftsmen have carefully polished the walls.

"The white ones on the wall are all white ash, which looks good and is also moisture-proof." Xuan Shijing explained: "The first floor is usually a hall, and the single room separated from there can be used in the future. You can decide how to use the kitchen. Put it in the house, of course, you can also put it in the yard outside to rebuild a house.

There are two rows of bungalows at the back of the large courtyard outside, which are wing rooms for the servants at home. It is impossible to let these servants live in the house together with the master. Xuan Shijing is very clear about this, and it is okay to be unconventional. , but not too much.

The big yard in front has been neatly organized, and the rest can be put in the backyard.

Xuan Shijing brought the two of them to the stairs, and walked up the stairs.

"The second floor is generally the room for entertaining guests, as well as rest, entertainment, etc., can be on the second floor."

There is nothing to see on the second floor, basically just large and small rooms, but whether it is the first floor, the second floor, or the third floor, there is an inconspicuous room in the corner, which is a hut, and the thick bamboos are connected together It is connected to the sewer, and the outside is covered with bricks and stones. There are toilets in the room. After use, rinse with clean water, and the dirt will flow into the special sewer along the pipe.This sewer does not lead to Xuanwu Lake, but is dug directly outside the city, and a hole like this was dug outside the east city.

The third floor is the master's bedroom and study room. The overall layout is similar, with a corridor in the middle and rooms on one side or two sides.

Marshal Zhao's house is in the upper middle of Daozhengfang, so the area is not too small.

"It's completely different from the house we live in now." Marshal Zhao said with emotion.

The three of them came to a bedroom on the third floor and stood in front of the huge French windows.

"Looking out, you can still see Xuanwu Lake." Xuan Shijing said.

It is true that you can see Xuanwu Lake, but the view is limited. This is also a benefit of the house with a better location. From the No. 15 house onwards, there is no such treatment.

"This reminds me of your room in the Xuanwu Building." Fang Yiai also said, "It's indeed a good place, the Marshal's house is like this, or go to the princess mansion you prepared for Princess Jinyang have a look?"

"Success, there should be more perfect than here, just wait for me to come back and adjust the layout." Xuan Shijing said: "Let's go."

Walking on the concrete avenue in Daozhengfang, although it is not far from house No.12 to house No. [-], it still takes some distance to walk.

Xuan Shijing was thinking, the road in Daozhengfang is so smooth, why not get a four-wheeled carriage?
After walking for a while, the three of them arrived at the gate of house No. [-]. The gate of house No. [-] was different from the gates of the houses seen on the road before. It was more than twice as big. Moreover, the gate of house No. [-] was Big Iron Gate!
Although it is troublesome to build, it doesn't mean it can't be built, right? The very simple bearing and connection can be built by some experienced blacksmiths after a while. In the future, this will be Jinyang's princess mansion outside the palace. Naturally, Shi Jing would not be sloppy.

Just this big iron gate cost a lot of money.

"Drink! It's too extravagant. You said, where did you get so much iron from this Zhengfang? If the censor sees it, can't you be impeached?" Fang Yiai asked.

"Impeachment by Yushi? Don't worry, Changsun Wuji will stand up for it." Xuan Shijing laughed.

"Changsun Wuji, the relationship between your two families is already like that, and you are still counting on him." Speaking of something, Fang Yiai seemed to think of something.

Changsun's family is in charge of iron. Changsun's family is also in business. When Daozhengfang started construction, the two families hadn't become like this. As long as they secretly piled up money to get rid of relationships, give gifts and so on, they would definitely be able to make things happen. Come on.

The gate of House No. [-] was locked, Xuan Shijing took out the key from his pocket, unlocked the chain, pushed the door open, and walked in.

Fang Yiai and Marshal Zhao also followed behind Xuan Shijing.

House No. [-] is obviously much larger than the other houses, and the main house is also four floors, one floor higher than all the houses in Daozhengfang, and there is a pavilion on the roof.

The front yard is also surprisingly large, and the general layout is the same as most houses, with pools, waterwheels, and several stone sculptures of ladies around the pool.

The gaps in the cobblestones between the lawns are filled with cement, and there is a concrete road from the gate to the front of the house, which is wide enough to walk a carriage. It seems that it is also for the convenience of the owner. You can get on the carriage when you go out from the main house. , without having to go to the door.

Trees were planted around the courtyard wall, and there were large rectangular flower beds on both sides in front of the main house. The flowers had been transplanted in, but they hadn't bloomed yet.

Except for the windows, the outer walls of the main house are still white walls, and the roof is replaced with bluestone, with special craftsmen making reliefs on it, which looks very delicate.

Following the cobblestone path to the main house, Xuan Shijing took out the key again and opened the main house door.

The main house also occupies a large area. In the middle is the living room reserved by Xuan Shijing, and the huge staircase in the middle leads to the second and third floors.

The left-hand side is to be turned into a small kitchen, not to actually cook in it, but the high-end tea for receiving guests on weekdays should be stored in the small kitchen. When the time comes, the maid will directly pack it up and serve it up. It is ready to be used as a place for eating, while the right side is used for entertaining guests.

On the upper part of the second floor is a huge butter chandelier extended by iron chains, with a roller skating set on the top. To light this butter chandelier, you need to lower the chain, and the servants below will light it and then pull it up to fix it. The fixed position is Put it on the second floor.
