The wife of a woman collecting herbs cannot be bullied

Chapter 61

To be precise, their general's mansion cannot be called a "mansion", it can only be a "mansion".It's also because the house is the imperial property of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, not because they have reached the standard of the mansion.However, ordinary officials do not have official positions above the third rank, and they can't even be called "houses", so they can only be called "houses"!
These things were all explained to Shi Chuying by Chu Xu in a sudden, because she was afraid that she knew little about these things, and she would be caught talking about them in the future.And these things are not written in books for people to learn, they are all in the royal code, or passed down orally, and only people inside or close to this circle know.

It is these little things that are often used to poke people's lungs.

In fact, in the houses of high officials or family officials in many places, there are usually at least three entrances and three exits, even four entrances and five entrances, and there are also three horizontal passages, but in order to cover up, most of them use one or two walls. Divided into two mansions or several mansions, from the outside it looks like their own houses, but to the inside, the walls are actually opened to form a large mansion.It's just that everyone keeps one eye open and one eye closed.

Shi Chuying looked over little by little, and after entering the gate, the place where she shot was the front room and the second gate.The front cover room is where the porter, the coachman and other servants live; after passing through the second gate, there is a cross road, which leads to the cross courtyard on both sides, and the front leads to the "meeting hall" of the first main hall. Equipped with a wing room, this place is where Chu Xu, the male master, represents the formal rights of the patriarch, so naturally she has nothing to do;

The cross courtyard on the right side of the meeting hall is the guard room, and the tea room, etc.; except for a well on the left side, there is a red circle, and she doesn't need to take care of it;
Passing through the meeting hall is still a cross road. The left side leads to the martial arts field across the courtyard of the second layer, the right side looks like a guest courtyard, and the front leads directly to the "work place" of the main hall of the second layer.

The office should be the place where Chu Xu handles the daily affairs of the mansion, and the wing rooms on both sides should be the outer study and flower hall.The two fronts are the outer courtyard, which should be the main place for men's activities.

There is a wall at the back of the double courtyard, which separates the third courtyard from the first two, forming two large parts.There is also a crossroad behind the courtyard wall. From the main room, you can go directly through the courtyard gate and courtyard to the third main room, which is their master bedroom.

The courtyard of the master bedroom is extraordinarily large. There are also five main rooms.The cross courtyard on the left is empty, the cross courtyard on the right has a kitchen, water room, and a well, and the side room has a sign marking the warehouse and inner study, and the others are empty.

Behind it is a back room and the back garden, all of which are empty.Chu Xu said that Shi Chuying had the final say on what to plant in all the courtyards and how to arrange them.

Shi Chuying thought about it and felt that this house is really big and too regular. She, who is used to being free in the mountains, really doesn't like this rigid style.

But she didn't expect to be able to use her brains to change the ancestral system, that would be tiresome.

However, the first thing that made her look down on was the second wall!It's so bright it's an eyesore!What's the meaning?Her family still restricts her from going forward?What a joke!She doesn't have to sit on the top of the meeting room, so why show her the wall!
Shi Chuying didn't care about the unspoken rules. With a swipe of her pen, she tore down the wall, drew a few network cables with her backhand, and marked on the side: How many vines are planted here!And bamboo fences, climbing roses, etc...

After solving this eye-obstructing wall, she marked the entire outer wall of the mansion with so-and-so vines and climbing roses, so as to prevent thieves and the like.

In addition, different flowers such as crabapple, Chinese rose, wisteria, and Lingxiao are planted in each courtyard as the theme. For a solemn place like the meeting hall, Shi Chuying suggested planting pagoda trees. auspicious.As for the rest of the front yard, he can do whatever he wants.

In addition, Shi Chuying circled two places between the office and the main room, right in the middle of the second and third courtyards, without any barriers from the walls, and marked them respectively at the passages leading to the courtyards on both sides. : Build a flower gallery on the left side, plant pomegranates and cloves, etc.; build a flower stand on the right side, plant golden lotus leaves, scallops and other flowers and plants, as well as swing frames, pavilion stone tables and stools, etc.;
The two sides are not built symmetrically, but are staggered. There are several bowls of lotus bowls and goldfish in the main courtyard, and mosquito repellent plants are planted everywhere in the courtyard.

As for the second left and right lanes, Shi Chuying suggested that if possible, bring in a source of running water, build a shallow cobblestone-bottomed inlet, put a stepping on it, and plant weeping willows or various kinds of chives by the water. , Iris can be, look relaxed and natural.Anyway, they don't have any lofty aspirations to revitalize their family business, they just want to live a good life by themselves, and they don't need to be tall and eye-catching.

She only knew from Chu Xu that when people in their branch are still being rejected, they are usually the most secure.

In addition, there was originally a pond in the back garden, which took up almost half of the size of the garden, and half of the pond was planted with lotus.Shi Chuying is marked here as: Is it lotus root?If not, clean it up and replant lotus root.You can dig lotus roots and pick lotus seeds to eat!For this reason, she also said that she would take some lotus seeds as seeds.

In addition, build a wooden curved bridge in the pond, and build a water pavilion in the water. The partitions on all sides should be disassembled, so that you can enjoy the scenery in winter and summer; There is a pavilion on it, which is also the highest place in the entire garden, overlooking the view of the real yard; Shi Chuying marked here: If these artificial hills have no other use, it is recommended to fill them with real hills.Lest someone hide something.

Under the rockery are some rocks, trails and flowers and plants for people to visit and rest.Shi Chuying marked: plant peonies, cicadas, poppies, chrysanthemums and other small flower gardens, and other places are mixed with other flowers, and a peach tree, apricot tree, plum tree, cherry tree, etc. are planted in the distance.Her orchard in Wangyun Village was about to bear fruit, but she wanted to marry to the capital, and she was unwilling to do so, so she had to make amends here.

After sending back Shi Chuying's changes, Chu Xu couldn't help but smile knowingly after reading it, this girl hasn't forgotten to eat yet.But there was nothing inappropriate about this, and he felt that Shi Chuying had really understood their situation before making this change. She had no ambition at all, and it was completely a change of living at home.
