Infrastructure masters in the red building

With trembling hands, Shuangwen opened the scroll on Jia Fang's desk, pointed to the blank space of the scroll, and said cautiously: "Third Lord, this scroll, this scroll... I don't know if I am blind."

She seemed unable to comment, and in the end she could only point it out to Jia Fang for him to see for himself.

Jia Fang took a look: Good guy!I haven't seen it for a long time, but both Daoxiang Village and Xiaoxiang Pavilion on this scroll have turned into colors. Beside Daoxiang Village are continuous and brilliant apricot blossoms, while in front of Xiaoxiang Pavilion are thousands of green bamboos.

In addition, there is an additional ink scene on the scroll. There are no houses, but large areas of rocks, and only occasionally a corner of the eaves can be seen on the side of the rocks.

However, Shuangwen showed a somewhat frightened look, pointed to the blank space of the scroll, and said: "Third Master, I opened this scroll earlier, and saw that it was not completely painted, so I couldn't help asking." What is this', who would have thought that a few words would appear on this scroll."

Jia Fang knew at a glance that he had completed the renovation of the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, and the scroll was hinting at a new construction project.

I saw the seven words written in the blank space of the scroll: "Yin Cheng cardamom is still beautiful".Jia Xin knew that it was the rash appearance of these seven characters earlier that shocked Shuangwen so much that he dropped the scroll on the ground.

"Shuangwen, this is the first couplet of a scenic couplet in the Grand View Garden. Do you know what the second couplet should be about?"

Jia Fang has already figured out what he needs to start building next.

But Shuangwen tilted his head, stared at the seven characters on the scroll, paused for a long time before saying: "This is clearly a sentence adapted from 'Books become banana leaves and text is still green'."

Jia Fang was about to reach out to applaud, thinking that as expected, all the people in this time and space are not simple, and everyone can remember all kinds of allusions clearly.He wouldn't have the ability to replace him.

But Shuangwen shook his head, and said, "I'm sorry. The next sentence I can't think of is 'the plum blossom sentence is also fragrant'①."

Jia Fang then revealed the answer: "Sleeping enough and teasing dreams are also fragrant."

As soon as he finished speaking, the handwriting on the scroll miraculously disappeared gradually.Shuangwen saw that a pair of eyes almost popped out of their sockets - now she obviously no longer doubted that she was delusional just now.

"Shuangwen, let me tell you the truth, the garden I am building now is a fairy garden."

Why is he willing to tell Shuangwen such a secret? —— Jia reassures himself that it may be because Shuangwen has a similar goal to him, and if his goal can be realized, Shuangwen's goal can also be realized!

"Xianyuan?" Shuangwen seemed a little convinced.

"Yes, every time I build a landscape in the garden, I can bring myself a little benefit. For example, I built Daoxiang Village, and I really found a lot of rice; for example, I built Xiaoxiang Pavilion..."

Shuangwen understood at this moment, raised his head and stared at Jia Fang: "That bookshelf!"

Jia Fang: "Smart!"

Hearing this, Shuangwen blushed and seemed very excited.For mortals, encountering immortals is an unattainable dream.However, such a "immortal picture" really appeared in front of him, but Jiao Shuangwen had no choice but to believe it.

"This scroll is equivalent to a construction drawing, guiding me to restore or rebuild the landscapes in the garden one by one. Now it is the scroll that reminds me that the next one to be repaired is this 'Hengwu Garden' .”

"Hate to miss?" Shuangwen also listened to the left, as if Jia Fang's occasional deafness was contagious.

Jia Fang had no choice but to take a piece of writing paper, write down the three words "Hengwuyuan", and handed it to Shuangwen. At the same time, he said to Shuangwen while recalling: "You should write down what I said first."

"A cool tiled house, brick walls polished with water, blue tiles and flower blocks. The veins divided by the main mountain all pass through the wall."②

Shuangwen didn't know what Jia Fang was talking about, so he grabbed a pen and wrote it down, no matter what.

Jia Fang, on the other hand, closed his eyes and focused on his memories, and gradually recounted all the texts about the architectural form of Hengwu Garden in the original book "Red Mansions": "...there are Chaoshou verandahs on both sides, and the five clear buildings above are connected with roll sheds. Corridors on all sides, green windows and oil walls..."②

While memorizing quickly, Shuangwen murmured a summary: "The face is five rooms wide, and the main ridge is like a rolling shed..."

Ancient constructions all have fixed formulas. Once these contents are finalized, the architectural renderings can be drawn immediately.

Jia Fang praised: "Very good. Shuangwen, you really have understanding."

Shuangwen's expression was serious: "Since it is a fairy garden, how dare the servant girl be negligent?"

Jia Fang suddenly discovered that ancient people were quicker to accept things that cannot be explained by science, such as "ghosts and gods" - he himself traveled through time, so he had to believe it; I believed it immediately, and I can't wait to turn on the lamp to draw at night, and use the fastest speed to draw the design of the Hengwu Garden.

"Third Master, I finally know what you say every day, what you want in your heart, and what the... five-year goal is." Shuangwen's voice was full of excitement, "Since it is the guidance of the gods, it must be of great benefit to the world If there is anything the servant girl can do, please just ask the third master, the servant girl will definitely be able to do it."

Jia Fang just stretched his waist, shook his head and said: "Don't rush to paint, wait until tomorrow the garden is opened, go in and have a look at it. If there is anything you can do... Please don't call yourself 'Handmaid', it's fine to call yourself 'I'. Otherwise, I always hear it as 'nose'."

He said innocently touching his nose.

Shuangwen burst out laughing again, this time she leaned back and laughed for a long time. Ever since she came to Jia Fang's courtyard as an errand, she always deliberately forbeared, until now it seemed that she hadn't revealed a little bit of her true nature.

Seeing her like this, Jia Fang felt a lot more relaxed in his heart, so he stretched out his little finger of his right hand and said, "We have made an agreement, keep our promises, keep secrets, for this fairy garden, and for our ideals."

Although Shuangwen felt that Jia Fang was quite childish, at this moment, he didn't know where the arrogance came from in his heart, so he stretched out his hand as he said, and really pulled the hook with Jia Fang.

The next day, Jia Fang really took people to the Grand View Garden to look for the location of the Hengwu Garden—according to the construction drawings, it was quite easy to find, as the big rocks were in front of it.

Soon, a small worker greeted Jia Fang and others from a distance: "Master, Sister Shuangwen. Here, here, and there!"

Jia Fang, Shuangwen, Fuya who came along to join in the fun, and several other small workers rushed over together when they heard the sound.

As he got closer, Jia Fang had already seen the traces of the wall. Apparently, there used to be a courtyard wall and a courtyard gate, but now there are only some wall foundations left, and weeds are overgrown among the broken bricks and tiles.

Among the weeds, there stands a large and exquisite mountain rock protruding into the sky, surrounded by various stones, which even cover all the houses inside.

When Shuangwen saw the situation in front of him, he said "huh" and pointed it to Jia Fang—it was exactly the same as the effect drawn on the scroll.

Jia Fang nodded secretly: The construction plans are honest and not deceiving!

The group of them turned around the rocks all the way, and noticed that there are strange weeds everywhere between the rocks, some with vines, some with vines, some hanging from the top of the mountain, or piercing the crevices of the rocks. The aroma of these weeds.

Shuangwen immediately said: "In the past, Emperor Wu of the Han dreamed that Mrs. Li gave the fragrance of Hengwu. After waking up from the dream, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty found that the fragrance was still lingering on his clothes and pillows, and it did not disperse for several months. I just realized today that this Hengwu is indeed incense. of."

A group of small workers all praised: "Sister Shuangwen is very knowledgeable!"

Jia Fang also said: "You are very good!"

Shuangwen said generously: "In the place where I stayed before, everyone was thinking about this all day long. I just heard these anecdotes. How can I say it is profound?"

Shuangwen has been here for several months, and this is the first time she has talked about her previous days in the Jiaofang Division. It is estimated that people there are always thinking about things like fighting for favor and securing favor.

Jia Fang looked at Shuangwen, and felt that she seemed to become a lot more cheerful overnight, and she was able to talk about the past without any shyness. It should be that after she had a clear goal, there were a lot fewer worries—— What a good sign.

They continued to walk along the road, and saw a section of "chaoshou veranda", which gradually rose along the main vein of the stone pile in the Grand View Garden. In fact, it could be regarded as a "climbing corridor". Jia Fang immediately remembered that Shui Xian was in the Beijing Palace There is also a section of "mountain-crossing verandah" - Jia Fang found that he couldn't help but compare the scenery in his own garden with that in Shuixian Garden.

"Hmph, when the garden is completed, I must ask him to come and see for himself, is he really lost to his 'Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter' Sifang Pavilion." Jia Fang couldn't help feeling challenged.

Fortunately, this section of the climbing corridor is quite well preserved, but the walls are mottled, and the painted paintings on the wooden corridor are all peeled off.But it's not a lot of trouble to restore it - it's better than the five clear mansions on the rocks ahead.

Jia placed it in front of the Qing mansion with a width of five rooms, and turned over the hanging plaque that fell on the ground, and sure enough, he saw the words "Hengwuyuan".They were right.

Look at the situation of this house again——Jia Fang sighed a long time: It must be overhauled.

In this Hengwu Garden, the walls are scorched black, and the wooden structures have been burnt to a crisp. It seems that the scorched and scorched wood scum can rustle down when the wind blows.

Jia Fang sighed: "It seems that this place may have been burned."

"Third Master, be careful, don't enter this house easily." Fuya had personally experienced the "collapsed house" incident in Rong Mansion, so she reminded her quickly when she remembered this incident.

"Understood!" Jia Fang looked up at the main house in Hengwuyuan, and then looked around at the surrounding terrain. He probably knew it, so he said to Shuangwen: "Remember for me, when rebuilding the main house, you must Install lightning rods."

The overall building of Hengwu Garden is built through the mountains, and the main building is built on a higher place of the whole garden. If the weather conditions are suitable, shouldn’t it be struck by lightning?

Shuangwen didn't know what this "lightning rod" was, but since Jia Fang ordered it, she took a pen and wrote it down in a volume in her hand.

"Also, here, here and here, install a few water storage tanks. In addition to domestic water, it also plays a role in fire prevention." Jia Fang continued to point out that only in this way can the rebuilt buildings be protected from damage. fire.

Immediately afterwards, Jia Fang walked around the main house again, and he can basically conclude that the Hengwu Garden, which was once burned, is of no use above the ground, and it is basically to be demolished and rebuilt. .But the foundation below the ground and the stone foundation above seem to have no problems and can be reused.

After all these investigations are clear, Jia Fang will make a long purchase list, and Zhao Cheng and Li Qingsong will go shopping; Shuangwen starts to prepare construction drawings and renderings according to the situation on the spot; Some people hired carpenters and masons who are familiar with the mansion in addition to the [-] small workers... This time, we also specially hired some painters who specialize in painting and color paintings to paint the paint and colors on the climbing corridor. Make it up again and again...

All of a sudden, everyone is busy.

After Jia Fang explained the task, Shuangwen was naturally the most enthusiastic one.When Jia Fang was away, she was the on-site commander of the Hengwuyuan construction site. After all, Jia Fang directly explained many things to her, and she conveyed them to the workers on site.

After Shuangwen roughly checked the progress of the project at the Hengwuyuan construction site on this day, he invited everyone to have a meal and a lunch break.

Shuangwen himself picked up his easel and rushed to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion.In addition to drawing various drawings, she has also learned sketching according to the techniques taught by Jia Fang. She carries the easel made by Jia Fang to and fro in the garden every day.

She had just returned to Hengwuyuan to put down her things when she saw a sneaky figure walking towards Daoxiang Village.

Shuangwen recognized that it was Lai Shi, the nanny next to his wife, and because she was his wife's companion, she could be regarded as the most respectable nanny in the entire Rong Mansion.

But Shuangwen doesn't like Lai Shi very much, and the five words "seeing people order dishes" are most appropriate for Lai Shi.The same is true recently, when Jia Fang was there, this mouth was sweeter than honey, but when Jia Fang was not there, from Mrs. Sun to her to Fuya, there was no one in the courtyard who had not been ostracized by Mrs. Lai.

Shuangwen felt bad when he saw Mrs. Lai sneaking towards Daoxiang Village: Jia Fang is currently "retreating" in Daoxiang Village.But looking at the nanny's appearance, it was obvious that she wanted to sneak into Daoxiang Village and see what Jia Fang was doing there.

Shuangwen immediately said loudly: "Mother Lai, why are you here, old man?"

Caught off guard, Lai was startled, turned her head and saw it was Shuangwen, immediately spat on the ground, and said, "Who am I? So it's you, a bitch."

Smiling all over his face, Shuangwen walked up to Mrs. Lai with an attentive look, and asked softly, "What's the matter for you to come here?"

"Madam has something to tell the third master." Lai said angrily.

Shuangwen could see that she was evasive, and continued to smile gently: "Third Master is probably taking a nap right now. If you have anything to say to me, or you can come again in the afternoon. Now that the third master is taking a nap , I'm afraid it's not right."

Lai immediately spat again: "I want you to take care of what I am going to do?"

She turned around and looked at the gate of Daoxiang Village, as if she wanted to push the door open without asking.But looking back at Shuangwen, Lai didn't dare to force his way in, and immediately scolded: "What are you still staring at, you little hoof? Does my old lady owe you money or something? It's none of your business—" —”

Shuangwen was quiet, without any irritation on his face, just looking at Lai Shi calmly.Who knew that her appearance of "convincing others with virtue" would actually make Lai become angry from embarrassment, and she came up and raised her palm, about to slap Shuangwen's fair cheek.

"Grandma Wu, what are you doing here!"

It was one of the twenty little workers who spoke.Some of them not only met Lai Shi, but were also induced to step on a large pile of fragrant cow dung.Seeing that Mrs. Lai was going to bully Shuangwen, a few workers who only listened to Shuangwen immediately surrounded him.

"Mother Lai, this is not Rong Mansion—these are craftsmen hired by the third master, and I don't care about them." Shuangwen said calmly, avoiding a slap in the face.

When Nanny Lai saw these little workers, she vaguely felt a little kind, but she couldn't remember what it was like the last time she saw them.At this moment, when she saw each other being tall and burly, their fists clenched like copper hammers, she was already scared, she nodded and said, "Forget it."

She knew that this was not the Rong Mansion, so she thought to herself that she would wait for you to return to the Rong Mansion before taking care of you slowly.

But the Lai family was not cowardly. Before leaving, he looked up and down Shuangwen's slender figure, and spat, "Who...you haven't even earned a girl yet."

The "girl" in Lai's mouth naturally refers to the girl in the house.It was so easy for her to run away after scolding, but Shuangwen's face was flushed with anger. Fortunately, those small workers couldn't understand what the "slang" between the servants in this mansion meant, and they all just talked to Shuangwen. Greeting: "Sister Shuangwen, next time the old godmother comes again, you call us."

Shuangwen tried to calm down, thinking that what Jia Fang said was true, if he limited his vision to the inner house, then naturally he would only see the struggle in the inner house, just like this Lai family, who would never be able to escape This seven-foot wall.

But she was negligent: Although Lai Shi was bluffed away by the small workers, the back house of the Rong Mansion was Lai Shi's territory, and he used his own identity to do anything wrong.

As soon as Shuangwen returned to Rongfu in the evening, he stepped into the door of the backyard of Rongfu with one foot. Immediately, a group of women covered their mouths, tied them up like rice dumplings, and escorted them into a house where servants lived on the East Road. courtyard.

"Nurse, this little lady is here for you!"

Lai Shi was sitting on the steps in a daze.She was a little unsure: If Jia Fang was offended by a cruel attack on Shuangwen, the wife didn't know how to explain it.

But she was always itchy and couldn't let go of the secret about Jia Fang.Jia Fang said that he supervised the construction of the Grand View Garden, but he plunged into Daoxiang Village every day, and did not come out until dark.What's more, the people who were looking for Jia Fang went all the way to the entrance of Daoxiang Village several times, but they were all bluffed by the servant girl, and even turned it off with a few words, so that Jia Fang would sneak out of Daoxiang Village when he had a chance.

What is a good man doing in the garden all day? ——Nurse Lai is puzzled.

But she thought that Shuangwen obviously knew the inside story, otherwise she wouldn't have helped Jia Fang cover it up in every possible way.

"Nurse, you said that you are here to interrogate this girl, what should I do if the third master sues the wife later?"

Nanny Lai shook her head: "No!"

Her reasons are very good: "The eldest grandma is about to give birth, and the wife has to watch in the grandfather's yard, how can she take care of this little servant?"

She said that Bi Chao, who was struggling, turned his face away, stared at him, and asked, "Honestly, what does the third master do every day in the small courtyard of Daoxiang Village?"

"Don't tell me it's reading and napping—the devil will believe your nonsense!"
