The Red Mansions Across the Four Seas

Chapter 528 There is also a Grand View Garden here

Feng Ziying, Yang Lin and others sent the Jia family to the gate of a manor and stopped.

"Old Ancestor, we still have some things to do, so we will send you here. If you need anything else, ask Miss Ping'er to find Yang Lin. As long as it can be done, there will be nothing wrong with it."

"Feng Ziying, why don't you go in and sit for a while?"

"We still have rounds to fight, and I'm going to take people to the front line in a while, so I'm leaving."

Feng Ziying said, and left with Yang Lin and others.

"Ping'er, what kind of business is Feng Ziying talking about?"

"Old ancestors, the round battle is the army of the autonomous army, and it takes turns to fight against the Ross and the Cossacks."

"Wouldn't it be better to go together to fight the war, why do we have to take turns?"

"Nowadays we don't need so many people, so everyone takes turns to go. This is also training soldiers. Let everyone have the opportunity to fight in battle, and when we fight in the future, we will not be unfamiliar."

"Is this Brother Min's idea again?"

"It was his idea, old ancestor, go in, this is Jia's Mansion in Beihai."

I saw a large mansion spreading out on the flat ground.Looking at it from a glance, although it is not as big as the Rongguo Mansion and Ningguo Mansion in the imperial capital, the area it occupies is not small.The place I walked along the way is also the largest house.

"Girls, lead your respective families home."

While Ping'er was talking on one side, something started to move on the other side.

Yingchun and Xing Xiuyan led Jia She and Jia Lian's family, Tanchun led Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang's family, Xichun led Jia Zhen and Youshi's family, Baochai led his mother and Xue Bian, Xiren and Bihen led Li Wan , they left one after another.

Daiyu and Shi Xiangyun remained with their ancestors.

"If the ancestor is not in a hurry, I will lead the ancestor to go around the house first, okay?"

Ping'er said to the old ancestor.

"That's fine, anyway, now that I'm home, let's take a look around first. Yuanyang, you and Miss Yun go back to resettle first, and I'll hang around with Ping'er and Daiyu, and they'll take me back later."

The layout of this mansion is similar to that of Jia's Mansion in the imperial capital, but there are obvious differences in some specific details.

The first is the difference on the wall.

The house in the imperial capital is surrounded by brick walls.This wall is a wooden fence surrounded by some logs.The beauty is that all the logs are of the same species, and the thickness is similar, so they look very pleasing to the eye.

The distance between the various buildings is slightly larger than that of the old house.There are some trails connecting in the middle, and more are green spaces and flower beds.

It is summer now, and it looks like green grass, and flowers of all colors are competing for beauty.Being in it is like a big garden.

"Well, Ping'er, this house is not bad, I like it. It's pleasant to go out for a walk when you have nothing to do, and it's not as boring as the old house. It's just that the style of this house looks familiar to me, but why is it strange? "

"Ancestor, this is a style that combines Chinese and Western styles. It has both our Chinese style and Western style. It was borrowed from France by me and Fourth Brother Min."

As Daiyu spoke, her tone was full of pride, and there was a smug look on her face.

"When Daiyu said that, I remembered it. When I was in the south when I was a child, the houses I saw in Songjiang were somewhat similar to this one. Aren't those houses lived by Westerners?"

After a few people walked, they arrived in front of the ancestral hall, because the ancestral tablet had not been put in yet, and the ancestral hall had not yet been opened at this time.

This move to the north brought along the ancestral tablets of the ancestral hall. As long as you come in sometime, the ancestral hall can be used.

"Well, brother Ming is quite thoughtful. I haven't forgotten my ancestors."

"Old Ancestor, this is a big event. How dare Fourth Master forget it. Let's go, Old Ancestor, I'll take you to see an interesting place."

Speaking of Ping'er, several people entered a courtyard, opened the door, and saw a stage.

The old lady didn't pay attention to anything else, but she spotted the stage at a glance.

"Ah, Ping'er, I'm not mistaken. This is a stage, right?"

"The old ancestor has good eyesight, so it's the stage. The fourth master knew that the old ancestor loved to go to the theater, so he specially asked someone to set up this stage. The old ancestor can go to the theater here from now on."

"Brother Min really knows what I'm thinking. Fortunately, this time, there are opera singers and a stage. From now on, it's almost the same as being in the mansion."

"Old Ancestor, there are even more novel ones. Let's go east and visit our place."

"you are there?"

"Yes, that's where we live with the girls."

"Oh, look, I forgot to take a good look at the girls' residences. Let's go and see what kind of residence Ming has prepared for the girls."

Not far to the east, I saw a row of fences, dividing the whole house into one piece, forming an independent courtyard.

Looking from a distance, there are some people inside, busy with something.

Entering the courtyard, I saw the first courtyard.

There are three words on a circular wooden arch: Yihong Courtyard.

The old lady walked over silently without saying a word, and entered the yard, but there was no one there.

Without locking the door, he entered the house.

Although there is not much popularity inside, some major household utensils are complete.

"Hey, Baoyu is in North Wendura now, and I don't know when he will come here. Let's go and have a look inside."

The second courtyard is Yeduju.

"Ping'er, I know this, it must be Brother Min who lives here."

"As soon as the ancestors said it was certain, we lived here."

"It's just that this house is not small. There are so many houses, can you live in it? It's not good if the house is empty."

"Fourth Master said that the house will be full in the future."

"All of them are full? There are seven or eight houses here, one for each, how many wives and concubines are you going to marry? Is there too much?"

"Well, fourth master said..."

"what did he say?"

"He said the more the better."

"Yeah, old ancestor, fourth brother Min is a womanizer."

Daiyu gave a pertinent evaluation.

"Oh, man, that's it. Don't bother with him, go look elsewhere."

Going further inside is the Xiaoxiang Pavilion.

"I know this, it belongs to Daiyu."

"By the way, old ancestor, I live here."

"The next one should be Miss Bao's Hengwu Garden, right? It's just that she lives here, where are Aunt Xue and Pan'er?"

The memory of the ancestors is really not bad.

"Old ancestor, have you seen that house over there? That is the Xue family, and now they built their own house."

"Well, that's not bad. It's next to our house, so it's convenient to come and go."

Going deeper, scattered around are Qiushuangzhai, Nuanxiangwu and Daoxiang Village.

Daoxiang Village was very lively. Li Wan had just arrived here, and some people were busy moving things inside.

The old lady stayed here for a while, gave some advice, and then went elsewhere.

This time, I returned to a place that was not found in the Grand View Garden of the Imperial Capital.

One is Miaoyu's Miaoxiangju, and the other is Xingxiuyan's Chuyunluo.

The last place is called Baiyun City.

"This Baiyun City, you can tell it belongs to Yun girl at a glance, am I right?"

"The old ancestor has good eyesight. It is Miss Smith's house. The name 'Baiyun City' was also chosen by herself."

"Hehe, she is the only one who can come up with such a name. It sounds a little arrogant, but after all it is too straightforward."

Ping'er and Daiyu walked around with the old lady, and from time to time they ran into Jia She, Jia Zheng, Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang and others.

It turned out that he was just like them, walking around and getting familiar with the layout.

"You all come out for a walk. From now on, this is our new home. Ask your servants to recognize the door, so as not to find someone in the future, and you don't know where to look for them."

"We followed our ancestors."

Wang Xifeng joined the group after speaking.

"We each go our own way, and we recognize our own, so why do you follow us?"

"Follow the ancestors, you will recognize them faster and remember them better."

"Okay, then you follow, so that when I ask you to find someone in the future, you won't know who you are."

"Old ancestor, I just saw a good place, it must be your favorite."

"Hmph, Feng girl, you are too late, I have already seen it myself."

"Does the ancestor know what I'm talking about?"

"Isn't it just a stage? Brother Ming has already prepared it for me."

Walking and walking, everyone arrived at the gate that they had just entered.

"There seems to be something missing on this gate?"

"Old Ancestor, isn't it just that there are no words. How about we hang up the Rongguo Mansion and Ningguo Mansion? Anyway, the mountains are high here and the emperor is far away, so no one cares."

Wang Xifeng came up with an idea.

"Hmph, since the title is gone, why should we beg for nothing to hang on to these two names?"

"Old ancestor, there is no need to worry about this. The fourth master said that when the time comes, it will be hung up."

Ping'er said with confidence.

"Brother Min, didn't you say what words were on the hang?"

"He didn't say that. He just said that he should have a more prestigious name than Rongguo Mansion and Ningguo Mansion."

What is more majestic than the Duke's Mansion?
Everyone looked at each other, and they each started their daydreams.

Next to Jia's mansion is Xue's house.

Under the leadership of Baochai, Aunt Xue, Xue Biao, Xiangling and other Xue family members entered their house.

Although the house is not as spacious and grand as the one in Jia's mansion, it is not small in scale.

After entering the gate, I saw three people taking off the blank there.The weather is relatively hot today, and all three of us are sweating profusely.All of them were tanned.

A group of people walked up to these three people, they stopped, turned around, and suddenly one person spoke.

"The mother is here, and the unfilial son kowtows to see the mother."

As he spoke, the man knelt down and kowtowed to Aunt Xue.

"Brother Pan, are you Brother Pan?"

"Mother, it's me."

Aunt Xue took a closer look, and found that the person in front of her, who was out of shape like everyone else, tanned, and sweating profusely, was her son Xue Pan.

"My son, how did you become like this? I can't even recognize you."

Aunt Xue grabbed Xue Pan's hand and stroked it lightly, that hand was already covered with calluses.

"Hey, mother, what am I doing? Brothers Lian Min, Feng Ziying, Chen Yejun, Wei Ruolan and the others have to work on their own while fighting the war, let alone me? This is to build a house for my own family, here There is a shortage of people, if I don’t hurry up, where will my mother live? Now the house is finally built in time, let’s go, I will lead my mother to look at the house.”

Aunt Xue's face was already full of tears, she nodded repeatedly, letting her son hold her hand, and followed.

"Okay, okay, I'll go and have a look, as long as it's the right house for my son to repair. No matter what it is, I'll live in it."

Xue Biao and Baochai fell behind.

"Sister Bao, I didn't expect that it would be difficult for you to be here."

"No way, everything is built from scratch. However, here is a blank slate, and we are painting the latest and most beautiful pictures."
