Infrastructure masters in the red building

After picking him up this time, Jia Fang was taken by Jia Daishan and Jia Daihua to a quiet room in Ningguo Mansion and interrogated for a long time, asking what His Majesty the Emperor said when he was in Daoxiang Village.

Jia Fang racked his brains and tried to recall every word His Majesty said in Daoxiang Village, but when Jia Daishan came to look for someone, he didn't understand what the other party said.

What impressed him the most was naturally the phrase "take all the charm to Xiaoyuan", he told his father and uncle to know, the two looked at each other, Jia Daishan's face was filled with sorrow, and Jia Daihua coughed helplessly.

The situation at that time was like this -

At that time, Jia Daishan was somewhat worried, after all, the emperor and Jia Fang had left for a while.He went to Zhedai Zhulan Banqiao, and from there followed his footprints to Daoxiang Village, and called out "Fang'er".

Coming out of Daoxiang Village, the emperor's expression was not quite right all the time, Jia Daishan was worried and didn't dare to ask.But Jia Fang didn't care much.

The emperor returned to Hengwu Garden on his own, where there was a messenger waiting.He got on the shoulder, and the Jia family father and son followed behind, and went back to Lu Xueguang together.

When they arrived at Lu Xueguang, the third prince was presiding over a badly failed joint poetry activity, but when the group saw His Majesty the Emperor and Jia Fang coming in together, they all fell silent immediately, and the expressions on the faces of the group of people were very exciting.

"Let's talk about you, don't worry about me." After the emperor returned to Lu Xueguang, he just sat by the window, set up a fishing rod, and fished for an entire afternoon. Automatically bites his unbaited hook.

After Jia Fang came back, his attitude was still normal, and he even felt that he was not completely full. He wanted some staple food, and finally asked the "restaurant manager" Jia She for a bowl of japonica rice porridge to drink.During this process, the third prince even went to Jia Fang's side, opened his mouth to greet him, but he didn't know what to call Jia Fang, and finally gave up his plan to invite Jia Fang to "join the joint poem" .

It snowed until very late that day, but then it was no longer a flurry of snowflakes, but fell to the ground together with the rain.Watching the snow was no longer interesting, so His Majesty the Emperor said goodbye in a dispirited manner.

Before leaving, everyone thought that the emperor would say some grandiose words to sum up the garden tour, but they didn't expect that he just lay down on the shoulder pads and was carried out by the little eunuch.And it is said that after leaving the garden, Long Yu was directly replaced.

As soon as the emperor left, the princes and grandchildren naturally left one after another.The tense nerves of everyone in Jia's mansion finally relaxed, everyone was exhausted and paralyzed to the ground, except for Jia She, who cheerfully greeted everyone to put away his "royal certified" barbecue utensils.

Eunuch Dai Quan and Eunuch Dai in the palace came back once at night, bringing back the emperor's oral order.The Ningrong Second House had no choice but to cheer up and listen to the announcement.

Unexpectedly, this Eunuch Dai only said three words: "Zhen Gongan!" Then it was gone.

Elder Ning Rong still had to put on a look of tears of gratitude, and said something like God Blessing.

The treacherous and cunning Eunuch Dai deliberately didn't leave after delivering the oral order.Second Duke Ning Rong naturally pulled him to talk for a while, and asked him about the situation in the palace.

What Second Duke Ning Rong wanted to know the most was actually what arrangements the emperor had for Jia Fang after his visit to the garden.But Eunuch Dai refused to say anything, only said that after Sheng Jia returned to the palace, he felt unwell, so he announced the imperial doctor, and even alarmed the Queen Mother because of it.Therefore, no matter what arrangements are made, we can only wait for the emperor to recover from his illness.

When Dai Quan said this, Second Ning and Rong immediately knew that Eunuch Dai was sent by the emperor to be the heart of the Anjia Mansion, and the three-character so-called "oral order" also revealed a basic attitude.

Therefore, when Eunuch Dai was leaving, Jia's mansion wrapped him a big red envelope.Dai Quan said no, but the sleeves were stretched out, and Jia Daishan directly asked Jia Daishan to throw the red envelope into his sleeves.

Ning Rong and Ning Rong discussed among themselves after they were free, and they all thought that something must have happened when His Majesty the Emperor and Jia Fang stayed in Daoxiang Village together.

But they faced Jia Fang, asked left and right, but didn't say anything.Jia Fang thinks that the emperor's behavior is indeed weird, but it is also possible that he saw the "little black room" again after many years and had a temporary stress reaction.

Second Ning Rong could only sigh secretly: This time it took so much effort to prepare for the pick-up, but it seems that all the effort was in vain.Neither Jia Fu nor Jia Fang got any real benefits.

Ning Guogong Jia Daihua sighed: "As for when we can pierce the paper on the window, I can only say that the emperor knows it in his own mind, and now... I'm afraid it's not the time."

Rong Guogong Jia Daishan sighed: "Those things in the past can only be said to be good fortune, but in fact we really have to wait. The person who can't wait the most should be the emperor!"

Jia Daihua also felt helpless: "Yeah, after all, Fang'er is grown up now, if we let him know the truth, he will..."

The two cousins ​​looked at each other and could only sigh in unison.

But Jia Fang didn't know about the above. The only thing he received was Jia Daishan's advice: "Take all the charm and go to Xiaoyuan", don't talk about it casually in the future.

Jia Fang asked why, but Jia Daishan couldn't say why, and finally he could only say: "It involves the name of the elders, so you must stop talking about it."

Jia Fang: ... Oh!I see.

Could this be a violation of Mrs. Smith's name?Mrs. Shi's name is "Shi Zhanjin", "Shi Fengqing", or "Shi Xiaoyuan"?

Of course, Jia's mansion can't be regarded as having no benefits at 01:30.

Jia Zheng showed a little bit of "little" poetic talent at the joint poetry meeting hosted by the third prince. The third prince appreciated it very much. He asked the teacher's name and learned that Jia Zheng would take part in the examination soon, so he immediately expressed the matter He made a note of it.

Xia Shengshen is the main examiner of this exam. The third prince did not forget to introduce Jia Zheng to buy a set of Xia Shengshen's previous anthology at the book store, as well as the "Four Books" annotated by his old man. Jia Zheng knew that there was a great mystery in it. , Immediately said that he would do so.

Besides Jia Zheng, Jia Amnesty was also very happy.This time, the big kitchen of Jia's mansion got the guidance of the imperial chef, and marinated extremely delicious barbecue. I tried it in Lu Xueguang, and it turned out to be a great success.

This time, the barbecue mat of "Lu Xueguang" not only verified the functions of the copper charcoal stove and the grate, but also developed many incredible grilled products in addition to various "normal" barbecues, such as beef ribs , For example, all kinds of chicken offal, the most terrifying, chicken skin...

These scraps of ingredients are not difficult at all for Jia She, because his "Xiaolou Hot Pot" itself is most famous for its unimaginable and unapproachable ingredients. It is extremely troublesome to clean up, but the taste of the entrance Another piece of shit.

For "Xiaolou Hot Pot", if another branch of "Xiaolou Barbecue" is opened, Jia Amnesty will just transfer the ingredients used in the left hand to the right hand, which is not difficult.

But this time, Jia pardoned the chicken thief once. He did not publicize "Xiaolou Barbecue", let alone "Royal Certification", but only on very "accidental" occasions. I told a few acquaintances about the barbecue.

These old gourmets come to check in near Wanqinglou every day, have morning tea in Wanqinglou for breakfast, eat until noon, digest food in the afternoon, and "Xiaolou Hot Pot" in the evening.Hearing the news, several veterans passed the news on to a few familiar ones, and the news only circulated in a unique circle of veterans.

There is no night ban in the capital, and those who go out for entertainment at night should have a supper before returning home.In the past, the key supply area for late-night snacks was the Dongmen City area. After all, few people came to Wanqinglou late at night.

But since the "Small Building" put up the sign of "Late Night Barbecue" at night, people in this Dongmen City gradually ran to the small building.

Eating the barbecue of "Xiaolou" is really not to fill the stomach, but the old gluttons are greedy for the bite, the crunchy palm treasure and the pig's yellow throat, which are soft but secretly strong Beef heart, beef tongue that melts in your mouth...

Chicken skin is the owner's favorite, so the supply is very small.After all, there is only such a small piece of chicken skin that is suitable for roasting a whole chicken.For gourmets, what they eat is what they earn, no matter how much they pay.

But this "small building" is really annoying. Starting a "late night barbecue" is really making money, but they just don't want to make more tables. They only supply [-] charcoal stoves every night, and they won't supply any more. All the grates are replaced, and there are only so many materials. If they are sold out, the shop will be closed and left.

Because of this, every night around midnight, you can see a long queue in front of the "small building", all of whom are here to wait for the "barbecue".And the crowd in line will discuss in advance: six of you, let's use two charcoal stoves, and four of us, use one for crowding.Collect twenty charcoal stoves, and the people in front of the queue will tell the back directly: "There is no space, please hurry up tomorrow."

At this time, there are often those who come out of the building drunkenly after eating in the Wanqing Building. Seeing the grand occasion on the opposite side, they wave their hands and say, "What kind of food is the opposite side doing? Come on, who will make it for you!"

At this time, someone will come to persuade him: "You don't always look at the signboard name on the opposite side, do you know the origin behind their house? This one is——"

The guy who uttered wild words woke up from the wine and quickly dismissed the idea of ​​booking the venue, but after seeing such a long line, he felt unwilling, and asked, "Why is the food so expensive? It's harder than the banquet in Wanqing Building." wait?"

At this time, someone will come to persuade him: "Why haven't you heard that the barbecue that is cooked late at night across the street is a recipe from the imperial dining room—that's why I dare not do business in broad daylight and secretly come to Do it tonight."

"Oh——" the guy who uttered such wild words finally came to his senses, and decided to come here to line up earlier another day, try his luck, maybe he can taste the taste that only the emperor and I can taste?

The late-night barbecue in this "small building" has become a must in the capital. The diners here began to line up at the end of the Xu Dynasty, and they could only enter the venue at midnight. If you really drink a few more glasses, you can also go to the opposite side to have a bowl of porridge and eat a roll of rice rolls to relieve the hangover.

Therefore, people who opened restaurants in Dongmen City said that fortunately, Wan Qinglou and "Xiaolou" have no such intentions, and they must make their business big, otherwise they will really have no business in Dongmen City. up.

Because of this, the Shui family behind the Wanqing Building and the Jia family behind the Xiaolou have gradually gained the reputation of "the conscience of the industry".This is a later story.

Not to mention that Jia Amnesty managed the "small building" and finally figured out the way, and that he had tasted the sweetness of making money every day. Jia Fang brought the two hot samples that had been praised by the Holy One back to his small courtyard, and sent them to the small courtyard. The double text tells the story of the face-to-face dialogue with the Holy Spirit in Rongxi Hall that day.

Shuangwen heard that Jia Fang had completely thrown away the pre-prepared manuscripts, starting from the Han family palace and talking about the small garden in front of him, he couldn't help being surprised, but thinking about it for Jia Fang, he also felt quite scared .

"Third Master, aren't you afraid of saying something taboo in front of the Holy One?" Shuangwen couldn't help but angrily said.

"At that time, I felt the blood rushing to my head, and I didn't care about anything, so I just said that." Jia Fang patted the back of his head and thought, "But I saw the emperor's eyes, and I think he doesn't care about what I say that is taboo. .”

He really felt that way. At that time, His Majesty's eyes were very gentle, and there was a faint hint of encouragement, so he went on to say-he was not stupid, nor was he completely ignorant of facial expressions.He felt that the man's eyes at that time completely regarded himself as a nephew - probably for the sake of his father and uncle.

It's just that it's inappropriate to talk about these topics in front of Shuangwen. After all, Shuangwen's father seems to have drawn a taboo stroke when he was painting in front of the imperial court, and he was thrown into the sky prison from then on, and his whole family was also confiscated.

"I guess it was my luck. Forget it, let's not mention this." Jia Fang cleverly changed the subject.The eyes of both of them turned back to the iron face in front of them.

Shuangwen pointed to the miniature model of the "future" Grand View Garden and said, "Third Master, are you sure that the Grand View Garden will be built like this in the future?"

Jia Fang shook his head: "Of course I'm not sure, but no one can stop me from changing it!"

Although he himself claims that "one draft determines the universe", but before he finalizes the draft himself, it is normal to change as many drafts as possible.

"Besides, what we will cultivate in the future is not our own decision." Jia Fang pointed to the scroll in his room, "Isn't there that one who has always guided us in the direction?"

Jia Fang spoke very loudly, thinking that if the scroll had spirits and he could hear his words, he wondered if he would be moved by this flattery.

Shuangwen said "hmm", walked over to fetch the scroll, opened it and asked, "Third Lord, you said that our 'Lu Xueguang' has been repaired?"

Jia Fang let out a "hmm" and said, "It should be!"

According to his experience, when the previous phases of projects were completed, the repaired buildings were usually put into use, or important functions were discovered, such as Daoxiang Village, Xiaoxiang Pavilion, and Hengwu Garden.

The same is true for Lu Xueguang. After being restored, it was put into use immediately before it had time to dry for two days.

But he still has some doubts. Most of the buildings in this garden correspond to the end of the "Shrinking Ground Whip". There is a Xiaoxiang Academy; Hengwu Garden is special, but only when it incorporates the special crops growing at the other end into the plant lineage, can it be considered a success.

Not to mention, after he built a Zhedai Zhulan Banqiao here, he also built a Qingfang Bridge in Taoyuanzhai on the other side.

Does this Luxue Guangxiu have any impact on Taoyuan Village?

Shuangwen carefully opened the scroll and let out a "huh".

Jia Fang didn't dare to look at it, so he just asked Shuangwen: "How is it?"

Shuangwen said: "There are two more seats!"

"Two?" Jia Fang was surprised, and leaned over to look.

Sure enough, in Lu Xueguang's place earlier, the light ink color has changed to watercolor.Of course, there is not much difference between the ink and watercolor of this building, but the color of the earthen walls and bamboo has changed from light ink to light ocher.

But looking at the scroll again, there are really two more buildings as mentioned in the double text, one is a small open hall with three rooms located in the flower garden, surrounded by flowers and various crops, and in the flower garden there are two buildings. There is a big rock.

The other is a courtyard near Qinfang River, with a two-story building inside.This small building faces water on the west side and mountains on the east side, and is very close to Xiaoxiang Pavilion, but other than that, there is nothing special about it.

Jia reassuredly thought: If there is no hint about these two places, who can guess where and where?

Unexpectedly, Shuangwen let out another "huh" and said, "Third Master, look here."

While she was speaking, words slowly appeared in the blank space. There were six words in total: "Red Fragrance Garden with Brocade Building".

Jia Fang had an epiphany: "So it's these two places!"

Hongxiang Garden is a small open hall located in the peony fence in the Grand View Garden. The "famous scene" Xiangyun Mian Shao in the original book of the Red Chamber took place here.

Jia Fang thought: No wonder that stone looks so familiar.

The Zhuijin Building was Jia Yingchun's residence before she got married.This building is located in Zilingzhou, and Jia Yingchun's "Lingzhou" got its name from the place name.It can be seen that her residence should be closer to the water's edge, and the waters in this area should be planted with Polygonum flowers, reed leaves, emerald water chestnuts and so on.

However, these two places are not considered famous landmarks in the Grand View Garden.If the scroll is the same as before, give him some hints at will, he really doesn't know how to guess the year of the monkey.

It seemed that the two good words he had said to the scroll before had worked. As soon as the god living in the scroll was happy, he gave him a "big show" and copied the answer directly to him.

Immortals also like to listen to good words. Once they wear the flattery hat, they immediately become very generous.

Very good, the next work target is Hongxiang Garden and Zhuijin Building.

Jia Fang was serious and bowed to the scroll to thank him. Sure enough, the six characters that appeared in the blank space of the scroll slowly disappeared.

After Jia Fang confirmed his next work plan, he took another trip to Taoyuan Village.

Since the completion of the Qingfang River Bridge last time, he has been busy picking up the driver, and has not had a chance to update the development of Taoyuan Village.

When he came to Taoyuan Village, Jia Fang learned from Village Chief Tao that everything was fine, except that Zhang Youshi came back once, happily showing off the courtesy he received in the neighboring county to the people in the village, and went out again after not staying for a few days .

Xiaoxiang Academy is now supported by Mrs. Jiang and Lao Shao. Others, such as Lao Jin, Lao Tu, and even Xiao Yu, will occasionally come to help and play a guest role as a teacher—anyway, they have "Jiao Shen".

Jia Fang let out a long sigh, and only said, "It's going to rain, my mother is going to get married", and Zhang Youshi is going to leave, which is something that can't be stopped, "If you can keep him, you can't keep his heart. It's better to be like this , let him go, one day he hits a wall outside, maybe he can still remember to come back."

What happened to Zhang Youshi was within his expectation, Jia Fang was not surprised, but a little regretful that it was true.

But soon he discovered something that surprised him—maybe, the construction of Lu Xueguang was really "mirrored" in Taoyuan Village.
