Chapter 195 Fascinated by gardens
Zhang Ci didn't know Yan Shoulu well, so he didn't come up to accompany him; the guards were not high enough, and they didn't dare to come up to disturb him, so that Yan Shoulu sat on the roof alone, and no one came to chat with him and enjoy the moon.

Yan Shoulu didn't bring any wine, he just wanted to stay quietly on the roof for a while.

The next day, just after dawn, Yan Shoulu walked out of the bedroom, and found that the officials also came out one after another.

"Why don't you sleep a little longer? I don't have any business to do today." Yan Shoulu said.

"General Yan is up, so naturally we have to get up." Qi Yuwen joked.

"That's right, the old man sleeps less." Yan Shoulu was tongue-tied again.But Qi Yuwen didn't blow his beard and stare at him this time, he just laughed.

"This house is really novel. There is a row of rooms facing south, and there are huts and corridors to the north. The main hall in the middle is so big." Tang Chaoying sat down on the second seat.

"Miss Chen's house is built with a hut in the room." Zhang Jiuyan followed.

"This house is convenient for many people to live together and discuss matters together." Wu Zhongsu said.

The house in the middle is the lobby, tall and spacious, divided into living room and dining room.A wall separated the living room from the hallway and also blocked the small door behind.Two arches were made in the restaurants on both sides, and a partition was made from the aisle.

The houses on the east and west sides are a little shorter, each with three rooms, including single and double rooms.Each house is a south-facing bedroom, with a north-facing interior guard and porch.The corridor is closed, so you don't have to worry about the wind and rain, and it is convenient to visit each room.

The guards brought hot water, hot tea and toiletries, and the adults began to wash, and then sat down to drink morning tea.Zhongshu Ling and General Yan sat on the main seat.

Wu Zhongsu glanced at the wall of the main hall and said, "There are eight square frames on the wall, are they for hanging calligraphy and painting?"

Tang Chaoying smiled: "Do you think Mr. Zhang will ask each of us to write a letter or draw a picture?"

"I am willing to write calligraphy and painting, but I feel ashamed to hang your calligraphy and painting together." Hua Shuli said.

Yan Shoulu smiled: "It's good to hang one person's work on the wall here, isn't there a lot of yards? Each work is hung separately."

Wu Zhongsu agrees: "People who live in the back can continue to hang their works."

After drinking tea for a while, the guards delivered breakfast: red bean, gorgon and lotus seed porridge, fried dumplings with ice flower, sweet potato and corn, fried egg with seasonal vegetables, and a plate of sliced ​​pears.

Tang Chaoying smiled: "I can no longer tell whether I am in the capital or the countryside. The daily meals are exquisite and delicious, with rich varieties and health preservation."

Wu Zhongsu shook his head: "Many houses in the capital don't have this kind of food. Some people eat only a few dishes in the big kitchen, and some are still hot and hot. I don't know the quality of the dishes. How can there be such food?" fresh?"

"That's right, the poultry and livestock are all slaughtered fresh, the fish are all caught fresh, the vegetables are freshly picked from the fields, and the fruits are freshly picked from the trees. These are much better than the capital city." Hua Qingli echoed. .

"The vegetables from Ms. Chen's house seem to be very juicy and delicious." Yan Shoulu swallowed a mouthful of vegetables and sighed.

"Perhaps the water and soil here are better, and the north is drier." Zhong Shuling rarely said a word or two every time.

Everyone nodded in agreement and continued to eat breakfast.

He Lin finished eating first, went into the room and took out a measuring rope, and measured the size of the square frame on the wall.

Everyone walked out through the back door of the main hall together.

At the back is a small courtyard, a row of wing houses are hidden among the green trees, there are rooms for servants, a small kitchen and a warehouse, and there is a well in the courtyard.

After walking around, everyone walked along the wall and turned to the front yard.

In front is a large courtyard with well-arranged trees, flowers and plants, dotted with rockery and strange rocks.There are three leaky windows with different patterns on the south wall of the courtyard.Everyone walked through the flowers along the winding path, walked to the wall, and looked at the scenery outside the courtyard through the leaky window.

Outside the courtyard is a pond surrounded by rockery and pavilions, and to the south is a big house.In front of each leaky window, everyone went to see it. If you change the location and angle, the scenery will be different.

"This design is really exquisite. The pattern of the leaky window itself is very beautiful, and the scenery outside the window is even more beautiful." Wu Zhongsu liked it very much.

"There are even more exquisite ones. There is a corridor outside this wall, and you can see the scene in our yard when you stand on the corridor." Qi Yuwen said.

Everyone shuddered and looked back at the house they lived in together, as if thinking of something, they hurried out of the courtyard door, walked up the corridor, and looked at their courtyard through the leaky window.

"This angle is very good, you can see the rockery and flowers, but you can't see the windows of our room." Qi Yuwen said.

"What I see here are trees and a corner of the eaves." Tang Chaoying stood in front of another leaky window.

Everyone looked at every window and found that they could only see the scenery, not the doors and windows, and there was no risk of being peeped.

"It's really wonderful!" Wu Zhongsu repeatedly sighed.

"Who designed this?" Hua Qingli asked casually.Everyone stared at Zhongshuling, wanting to hear Zhongshuling's answer.Zhongshuling laughed but said nothing.

After walking around the pond, everyone was attracted by the rockery path again.Yan Shoulu became playful again, walked the five paths leading to the top of the rockery twice, and then sat down in the small pavilion on the top of the rockery.

"Sitting on a high place and looking at it, it's another view." Wu Zhongsu liked it even more.

After visiting the entire Su Garden, Wu Zhongsu was already fascinated, and he was even more obsessed with the corridor, thinking about drawing the garden's scenery.

Su Garden is not big, only half the area of ​​Canglang Pavilion, more than 5000 square meters.Everyone walked around carefully, and it only took half an hour.

Standing on the corridor outside the garden, Wu Zhongsu looked at the clear water in front of him and said, "Ms. Chen is willing to open up such a charming scenery for everyone to walk and enjoy. No wonder this place is so lively."

Outside this complex corridor is the big five-acre pond, and everyone can enjoy it around the pond.The rockery on the side of the corridor is also loved by many people.In the past, such beautiful scenery was hidden in the compound of the deep house. Now everyone can enjoy the rockery, pond, river, flowers and trees. Who wouldn't want to visit this charming small park?
Standing on the corridor and looking into the garden is what every tourist has done.But all they saw were hills and high eaves.

Zhang Ci and Chen Fan saw them standing on the corridor from a long distance away.The two approached, smiled and saluted the adults, and asked them how they slept.

The adults are naturally full of praise.

Zhang Ci said to Zhongshuling: "The magistrate Shi came to visit in the early morning. I asked him to sit in the main house for a while, and replied to him as you ordered."

Zhong Shuling nodded, and the other officials did not ask Shi County Magistrate about it.

Wu Zhongsu couldn't wait to ask: "Is this Su Garden designed by a girl?"

Chen Fan smiled: "I just drew some random pictures, and I hope you adults will give me your advice to make the garden more beautiful and pleasant." She didn't say that she had visited some gardens before and seen some drawings. People asked where to visit the garden and where to read the drawings.

"I would like to draw a picture of the garden, would you like it?" Wu Zhongsu asked.

"It's Yuanzi's honor. When your lord finishes painting, can we have the honor to have a look at your master's painting?" Chen Fan said with a smile.

"I'm very happy, please teach me how to draw the window." Wu Zhongsu nodded with a smile.Chen Fan agreed.

Everyone walked around the flower gallery, as if they had visited a market.

"Is anyone here to collect taxes?" Tang Chaoying's professional habits broke out again.

"Someone from the county government has been here, registered them, and clarified tax matters." Zhang Ci replied.

Tang Chaoying smiled: "Yuanfeng county government office is pretty neat."

The people went to the main house to sit for a while, then tidied up, got into the carriage with the children and drove to the city.
