Infrastructure masters in the red building

In Ning Rong Second Mansion, because of this sudden visit to the garden, no one fell asleep that night.

Before the child's time arrived, many eunuchs rushed to the palace. Together with the people from Wucheng Bingmasi, they first blocked Rongning Street and Rongning Back Street, where the Rongning Second Mansion was located, and set up a barrier.All personnel who should enter and exit within the customs defense are interrogated one by one, and they can enter only after their identities are identified.

Then Dai Quan, the great eunuch next to the emperor, came in person, and had a detailed discussion with Ning Rong and the two, to finalize the route for the royal tour of the park tomorrow, where to enter the mansion, where to enter the mansion, and where to leave the mansion... Jia's mansion Where people can walk around and where the venue must be cleared, Dai Quan and Jia Daihua Jia Daishan have a thorough discussion, and then hand over the affairs of the mansion, immediately assign them, and then restrain everyone.

As Jia Fang, who is most familiar with the Grand View Garden among the two prefectures, he had to accompany him during the process, explaining the route and orientation of the garden to Dai Quan and his uncle and father.

This Dai Quan is the Eunuch Dai whom he met once in the palace. During the whole preparation process, Dai Quan has always been very respectful and polite to Jia Fang, and even suggested that it is already too late, so it is better for the young master to go down and rest less. moment.

This request was ruthlessly rejected by Jia Daishan on his behalf: "There is absolutely no reason why a ruler should go down to rest as a courtier while his father is not resting."

After hearing this answer, Eunuch Dai felt satisfied, speeded up, finished discussing with Jia's father and son and others, and then prepared to leave.

Before leaving, Eunuch Dai asked where he would have a banquet tomorrow and what he would like to prepare for the royal meal in the palace.Only then did Jia Fang remember that the emperor went on a tour and went to eat at the courtier's house, and he didn't know whether he was eating food from the courtier's house or something brought out from the imperial dining room in the palace.

But Jia Daishan didn't know, he just looked at Jia Fang.

Jia Fang only bit the bullet and said: "Lu Xueguang in the garden has recently been repaired, and it can be used for grilling meat. If you need to barbecue, the mansion can prepare a set of charcoal fire utensils. As for meat..."

He looked at the people around him, wondering if he should suggest to the emperor and his elders to bring their own meat into the garden for barbecue.

Dai Quan readily made a decision on Jia Fang's behalf: "Tonight, the imperial dining room will send the ingredients to the house, and the imperial chef will help prepare them together. If there are family recipes and recipes in the house, I'm sorry, The master master in the palace is probably going to learn it."

Dai Quan's meaning: The palace will send materials over, and it can be prepared according to Jia's requirements, but the imperial chef must fully participate in the preparation process.

Jia Daishan quickly responded: "It's all up to Eunuch Dai's arrangements."

When Dai Quan left for a while, the Jia family breathed a sigh of relief, but the back house received new orders and became more and more busy.

But Jia Daishan found Jia Fang and asked him to go back and rest.

"Fang'er, tomorrow is very, very important to you." Jia Daishan solemnly explained.

Jia felt relieved: It is really important to pick up the driver tomorrow, and the face of Rongning and Ningfu will be tomorrow.But Jia Daishan didn't talk about the Rongning Second House, but cared about him, which made him feel quite at ease.

"Father told you that you need a very good performance. Well, are you ready?" Jia Daishan asked in a low voice.

Jia Fang nodded confidently: "No problem!"

"Very good, go back and rest for a while. Wait until tomorrow and show your best form." Jia Daishan was a little excited as he spoke, "You are a child I raised, and you must not teach others to compare!"

Jia Fang didn't hear any overtones at all, he responded readily and went back to his small courtyard.

On the way back, he passed through the Rong Mansion all the way, it was already late, but the Rong Mansion was brightly lit, and the lanes were full of stewards and servants coming and going.

As he was walking, he suddenly stopped, stretched out his hand, and looked up at the sky at the same time: he felt a bit of coolness on his cheeks and hands at the same time.

The sky began to snow beads.

Very good, God really did not live up to his expectations.

Jia Fang hurried back to his small courtyard. Shuangwen, Sun, and Fuya had received the news early on, and they were all waiting in the courtyard.

As soon as Jia Fang entered the hospital, he said, "Take out that hot sample quickly, I need to check it again."

Shuangwen immediately responded, and went to the west chamber to take out the "hot sample" that Jia Fang was talking about.Jia Fang looked at it carefully again, nodded and said, "OK!"

The hot sample in front of him is the three-dimensional miniature model of the Grand View Garden.Previously in Baigongfang, Jia Fang had seen craftsmen there make a model of a pier.He was inspired and started to make the Grand View Garden after he came back.

After hearing the rumors of picking up the driver last time, Jia Fang immediately added another model—the imaginary three-dimensional miniature model of the Grand View Garden.

This is tantamount to the fact that he made a "current situation" of a Grand View Garden and a "future" of a Grand View Garden. With these two, he felt that it would be enough to shock people.

Shuangwen immediately smiled and said: "The third master said yes, so he will." When Sun and Fuya heard this, they were also relieved.After all, since I received the news from the mansion today, I have been on my back.And before that, everyone had rumored that Jia Fang's garden could not be completed, and Sun Fuya and others were somewhat affected.

Jia Fang just ordered: "Everyone go to bed early, I am afraid that tomorrow we will be busy from the moment we open our eyes until we close them."

Shuangwen laughed and said, "That's you, the third master—we're in the small courtyard at the back. Once the courtyard door is closed, why don't we do anything?"

"It's fine if you don't do anything!" Jia Fang looked outside and saw that the snow was still falling, so he said, "It will snow tomorrow, Fuya can build a snowman in the yard."

Fu Ya immediately clapped her hands when she heard this.Shuang Wen and Sun hurriedly packed up Jia Fang's big wool clothes, ironed them and hung them on the hangers: "There are so many princes and nobles coming tomorrow, our third master can't be compared with others."

Until very late, Jia Fang could hear the female family members chatting together in the west chamber, it should be a lively discussion, without any sleepiness.Perhaps for these female relatives, being able to pick up a car in the mansion is a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

And he went to make a final touch on the "hot sample" of the Grand View Garden to ensure that there were no mistakes.After repairing, he went to check the snow outside before going to rest.

When he fell asleep, Jia Fang kept thinking, hoping that the snow would not fall too heavily, as it would easily crush the house, whether it crushed the houses in the mansion, the garden or the common people’s houses outside the mansion, it would not be good; But you must stop, once the snow stops, there will be footprints everywhere on the road in the garden, and it will not be beautiful...

After struggling like this, Jia Fang finally fell into a deep sleep.Around the fourth watch, he was called up by Mrs. Sun, hurriedly ate a bowl of japonica rice porridge, put some side dishes made by Mrs. Sun, and then put the bowl down.The front yard has already sent someone over to urge them.

Jia Fang put on all the clothes around him, opened his head outside, and saw that the sky was still dark.However, wherever the light went, it was still possible to see the air was rubbing and fluffing, and large and thick flakes of snow were falling from the gray sky one after another.

Jia Fang quickly asked Mrs. Sun to find two pieces of tissue paper and oilcloth, and carefully covered his two "hot patterns", and then asked Zhao Cheng to find a few servants in the mansion, and carefully carried the things. Go to Rongxi Hall ahead.

He reminded him ten thousand times that the surface of this "hot sample" must not be touched, and if it is damaged, no one can bear the responsibility.

Zhao Cheng and the others also knew how powerful they were. They seemed to be holding gold inlaid jade objects, rare treasures.Another person was holding a big oiled paper umbrella to prevent snowflakes from falling on the oiled paper.

Before Jia Fang left, Mrs. Sun helped him check the clothes around him, put on a jade needle cape for him, put on a golden vine hat, and put a small hand stove in his arms.Grandma Sun stood in front of Jia Fang and prayed in a low voice: "My good third master... I hope you, I hope that everything will go smoothly in your life from today on."

Jia Fang didn't know why Mrs. Sun said that, he just said that the old man felt uneasy after seeing the big battle to pick him up.He immediately reached out and held Mama Sun's hand, and said with a smile: "Mama Sun, don't worry, I will!"

His hands were warm, as was the smile on his face.Mrs. Sun also laughed immediately, but her eyes were a little red, and she hurriedly said: "Look at me, mother-in-law, third master, hurry up and get busy!"

Jia Fang said goodbye to Sun and Shuangwen and went to Rongxi Hall.

There, Jia Daihua, Jia Daishan, Mrs. Shi, Jia She, Jia Zheng, and their uncles Jia Dairu, Jia Daixiu, and peers Jia Dun, Jia Xiao, Jia Chi and others have all gathered in the Rongxi Hall. Now, there was no one there, not even Jia Zhen, the eldest son of the Ningguo Mansion, did not appear here.

Everyone is watching the ironing samples he sent.Zhao Chengzheng is leading people to carefully peel off the oil paper and tissue paper on it.

Jia Fang hurriedly said, "Slow down."

Rao Zhao Cheng was still a little bit measured, the hot pot was brought in from the small courtyard at the back, but it still knocked off two small flower trees on the hot pot, and knocked the small roof of a house.

But fortunately, it was repaired very quickly. Jia Fang carried a small jar of paste in his purse, and he repaired it immediately. Check it together to see if all the ironing samples are firm.

"This... this is..." Jia Daishan was quite surprised when he saw this.

Jia Daihua stood aside, stroked his beard and said, "This is our homeland!"

This ironing is extremely delicate. Jia Fang cuts soft wood into wall bases and foundations, uses thick cardboard to make the walls of the building, and uses multiple layers of paper pulp coated with paste to dry naturally in the mold to make rest For various roofs such as mountains, hard mountains, and rolling sheds, pieces of incense sticks are used to make roof tiles, and dead branches are cut off from broom heads and painted with green paint to make them green trees. Or paint red paint on the branches, that is a cluster of fiery red apricot blossoms.

There are two copies of this sample, one is the current situation of the garden, and the other is the "conception" of the future of the garden.

Jia Daishan and Jia Daihua looked at it, and they felt that it was so ingenious. They gathered around the table to watch the hot dishes, as if they had suddenly come to a small country, as if the door of this room would open suddenly, and two or three small people would walk out of the room. like.

Jia Daishan asked in surprise: "Fang'er, you did all of these?"

Jia Daihua stroked his beard and said, "Fang'er, I never expected that you would put so much effort into this garden. The ancients said that everything that is exquisite can move people. Uncle seldom convinces people. I met this one today." , but obey you."

Jia Fang had no choice but to say a few words of modesty indiscriminately, not taking it seriously in his heart.It is too common for him to do manual work.Which designer didn't seriously make these three-dimensional models when working on projects before?After all, it is not enough to have a gap in the chest. Only what you want in your heart can be seen by others to resonate.

At this time, Jia Daishan thought of other things: "Brother, look at the iron pattern Fanger made. The terrain is so undulating. There are houses here and a river here. What does it look like?"

Jia Daihua and his cousin had a tacit understanding, so they knew it at a glance, and replied casually: "Like a map!"

"But it is richer than maps. The mountains and rivers are undulating, and the rivers and waters can be seen at a glance. Where there are cities, where there are checkpoints, where there are places for water and grass to drink horses, and where there may be ambushes, they are all known at a glance."

Jia Daishan also became excited, and said: "On weekdays, I lead those soldiers to practice, and they fight each other in the martial arts arena. When it comes to field battles, they are all blinded, and teaching them ambushe tactics is even more exhausting... "

Jia Daihua interrupted: "It's easy now, give them five hundred villains each, and let them bring these 'soldiers' and fight on this hot spot!"

Jia Fang was dumbfounded: Could it be that he made an architectural model and inspired his uncle and father to invent a military sand table?

But, wait, in his mind, shouldn't there be a military sand table at this time?

Jia Fang asked this question, Jia Daishan and Jia Daihua looked at each other, Jia Daishan smiled and said: "Yes, but the proportions are not accurate enough, and there are some problems with the sand pile, just push a few chess pieces on the sand table After deduction, the mountain piled up with sand will collapse directly, making it unusable."

Jia Fang understood: it turns out that this is the case. The space-time military sand table cannot maintain a stable three-dimensional shape, so it loses its significance as a terrain indicator and battle formation simulation.

"It's simple. In the future, I will use this method to make ironing patterns. I will iron out the appearance of mountains and rivers. I will make models of the towns and military strongholds above, and then mark them with needles. As for those who march and fight between these sites Soldiers can be made into villains of different colors to represent different numbers of people. When performing battle formations, use needles to pin these villains where they should be, and move them to pull out the needles. You can move it to another location…”

Jia Fang continued talking in one breath.

Jia Daishan couldn't help showing the proud look of "I have a son", while Jia Daihua nodded with a smile on the sidelines and said, "When will His Highness return to Beijing, you should find a chance to have a good chat."

His Majesty?Jia Fang finally remembered the eldest prince who was said to have been leading troops to fight outside because his biological mother was not born enough, so he had no hope of becoming a great position.

But now, listening to Jia Daishan, why does it seem that he likes this kind of thing, so he is willing to guard the border in the west every day?

When the three chatted, Jia She, Jia Zheng and the others couldn't get in the conversation, so they could only listen silently from the sidelines.After a while, Mrs. Shi came over and reminded: "What time is it? Why are you three still chatting so passionately? Why don't you send someone outside to inquire and see if there is any movement in the palace?"

Seeing Mrs. Shi approaching, Jia Fang obediently walked away, intending to retreat behind his brothers.But was stopped by Mrs. Shi: "Fang'er, wait!"

She stretched out her hand and straightened Jia Fang's collar. After seeing that there was nothing wrong with Jia Fang's clothes, she nodded in satisfaction and said, "Fang'er... Today, our whole family is all pointing at you."

For the first time, Jia Fang felt the high hopes placed by Mrs. Shi. To be honest, he was a little flattered. He looked back at Jia She and Jia Zheng. , Mouthed to Jia Fang—"Don't worry", it should be implying that Jia Fang: Everything is ready in the kitchen.

Not long after, the news from the palace arrived, saying that Sheng Jia had left the palace.Jia Daihua gave an order, and all the children of the Jia family went out to meet him.

The middle door of Rongguo Mansion was wide open, and Jia Amnesty led Jia Zheng and other members of the Jia clan to the west entrance of Rongning Street, and greeted them under the archway with the three characters "Rongning Street".Jia Daihua, Jia Daishan and Jia Fang waited outside the gate of Rong Mansion together.Since Mrs. Shi is a female relative, she doesn't need to see her this time, so she naturally takes people back to the backyard and waits for news from time to time.

The middle door of Rong Mansion was wide open, there were at least several hundred people waiting inside and outside the mansion gate at the same time, but they didn't even hear a cough.

The snow was still falling, and the ground had already accumulated nearly a foot thick. On Rongning Street, people kept sweeping the snow away to clear the road.Jia felt at ease: I don't know what special tools they used. They saw someone sweeping the snow, but they couldn't even hear the sound of the broom scraping the ground.

Not long after, I saw people coming from a distance outside the West Street archway, first a pair of eunuchs from the palace, and then another group, about ten people, coming against the wind and snow.These people didn't hold all kinds of ceremonial guards, not even the two yellow umbrellas that the crown prince wore when he went to Yu Qingxing last time.

This made Jia Fang a little relaxed - it looked like a private visit in a micro-service, not a particularly formal tour of the garden!

He was still thinking about it, when suddenly he saw a group of eunuchs, this time it was a formal guard of honor, he saw a bright yellow crank Nine Dragons gold canopy slowly moving forward, followed by a group of eunuchs holding pins There was a golden stove, burning pine and cypress incense for the imperial use, followed by a row of deacons and eunuchs, holding daily necessities such as incense beads, rinsing bowls, and dust whisks.

Jia Xinxin complained secretly: Didn't we agree to go to the garden?Why does it look like you are moving now?

After these teams passed by, eight eunuchs came behind them slowly, carrying a golden dragon jade.Behind Longyu is a slightly smaller one, which should be the prince's chariot.

After that, all the people who followed were on horseback, but when they reached the West Street archway on Rongning Street, the horsemen dismounted one after another, handed the reins to the eunuch, and then came towards Rongfu on foot.

At this moment, all the people in Jia's mansion were kneeling outside the middle gate of Rong's mansion, not daring to show their air.Where Long Yu fell, several eunuchs quickly stepped forward and wiped the ground that had just been cleaned to ensure that there was no snow or water stains on the ground.

Immediately afterwards, Eunuch Dai Quan, who Jia Fang recognized, stepped forward to uncover the golden brocade curtain of the sedan chair, and a bright yellow brocade boot embroidered with sea dragon patterns stepped out of the sedan chair and landed on the ground in front of Rongfu.
