The garden of Zhen's family is called Preface Garden, because the emperor has stayed here many times, it already has a bit of the majesty of a royal garden, and the Jiangnan gardens have been piled up since ancient times. The garden is different.

The main entrance is Jiujian, with gray walls and blue tiles, and two stone lions squatting in front of it.Entering the main entrance, there is a huge screen wall, about ten feet wide, with depictions of saints enlightening all things on it. Turning around the screen wall, there is another screen wall with a picture of going up the river during the Qingming Festival. On the left is a row of houses, the appearance of which is the same as the gate. Gray walls with blue tiles, a wide corridor and three steps.This is the squad room of the guards. It is hidden far away in the depths of the flowers, and there are not many houses in sight.

Everyone turned to the left, and right in front of them was a pier that was imitated by the market outside. There was a painting boat waiting there long ago, and there was a road beside the pier, with big trees covering the road on both sides, and there was no sunlight under the shade of the trees, so it was very cool .

Zhen Yingjia respectfully invited the emperor to board the dragon boat-style painting boat. Situ Yue stood at the pier without moving, looking at the 20-foot-wide artificial river in front of him. The various shapes on both sides of the river were piled up with Taihu Lake stones, forming a natural visual enjoyment. The beauty lies in the luxury and simplicity everywhere.Behind the Taihu stone is a willow tree, the branches are swaying with the wind, and the end is poetic and picturesque. There is a small path under the willow tree, and the palace ladies and eunuchs lined up to pass. Visually very enjoyable.

After listening to Zhen Yingjia's introduction, he named this artificial river Qingshui, looked up at the wooden archway on the wharf, and wrote the words "Qingshui Wharf".

The emperor took Chengtai, Chengtang, Chengxian, Liu Jinzi, Zhen Yingjia and Zhen Baoyu on the boat. In a blink of an eye, Situ Yue didn't come up, and when he looked back, Situ Yue was standing on the pier with someone, so he called him "Jun Ming" , it’s hot and sunny, come to grandpa, and let you relax when you get there.”

Situ Yue didn't want to take a painting boat. The layout of the preface garden can be seen in details everywhere. Situ Yue wanted to take a look around, so he replied to the emperor. He didn't want to take a boat, but wanted to take a walk. He had been floating on the canal for a long time, and he became dizzy when he took a boat .

The emperor agreed, and a son of the Zhen family immediately stepped forward to lead the way. It seemed that it should be the eldest son of the Zhen family, Zhen Cun.Zhen Yingjia has six sons, three legitimate sons and three concubine sons, and Zhen Yingjia has a younger brother. Because Zhen Taijun is still there, the two brothers live together, and the total number of descendants is even more.Among the many people surnamed Zhen who kowtowed to the emperor just now, Situ Yue didn't remember a few.

Zhen Cun stepped forward to lead the way. Under the green trees on both sides, there were brick and tile huts, which looked very delicate. You could see the tables, chairs and stools inside from the window, and people could live inside.

Going forward, there are two rows of huge palace rooms, which are fully furnished. This is the place where the servants live, and they are extremely clean and tidy.The road here has a fork, next to Qingshui on the left, leading directly to Hongqiao, Hongqiao is made into a rainbow, painted with red paint, wooden arch bridge, rows of copper nails are very obvious.On the right is a small path, covered by flowers and plants, it is hard to see where it leads.

Seeing that Situ Yue didn't move, Zhen Cun bent down and reminded, "His Royal Highness, after crossing the Hongqiao on the left, you will go to the place where the masters live. The road is far away, and you will pass the Dingfu Temple along this path on the right. Qingshui Nunnery then turns to Danqing Palace, which is the Xuande Palace where the emperor lives, and it is closer to the right."

Situ Yue raised his legs and walked in the direction of Hongqiao without saying a word. He mentally estimated the size of the Xu Garden, which was larger than that of Prince Rong's Mansion. The area was comparable to that of Nanyuan. On the contrary, the place is not big. There are not only temples, Taoist temples, but also many palaces.

After walking more than a thousand steps, I got on the Hongqiao Bridge, and the painted boat passed under it. The emperor’s dragon boat was no longer visible. There are still many maids in the court who have not boarded the painted boat. These painted boats are connected together like a rope. .Zhen Cun stepped forward and said, "His Royal Highness, we will get off the Hongqiao now, and we can also transfer to a boat, so as to avoid the pain of running around."

Before Situ Yue could speak, he got off the Hongqiao, and there were more houses on both sides, with various big trees planted in the middle, and the shade was all over the place.The surrounding houses are all empty. Zhen Cun introduced that this is the house of the maids. The blue tiles and the walls are very eye-catching. After turning a few turns, there is a corridor made of wood. In the corridor, there are vines on both sides, and bunches of small green grapes hang down. This corridor is very natural, as if it should be like this, as if there is no trace of artificial carving.Walking through the spacious corridor, many waterwheels are turning together, the surrounding air is very humid, the sound of clattering can be heard from a distance, walking forward, there is a bridge, the bridge is made of wood, and there are carvings on it. A pair of mandarin ducks are called mandarin duck bridge.After crossing the bridge, there are houses next to it. The houses on the side are made like the ones in the village, with earthen walls and straw roofs. There are stone mills and stone rollers beside them, and a few cattle tied to them.There are four or five swings hanging on the big tree not far away.

Inside are extremely simple furniture, and Zhen Cun introduced that this is a place for people to rest their feet.Going forward, there is a suspension bridge. The suspension bridge is made of iron and spans clear water. People walk on it and dangle.The clear water is very clean, the water quality is clear, you can see swimming fish, all the boats have passed, leaving only ripples on the water surface.

Going forward, it is a building like a city gate. When you walk in, you can see that the scale and material are the same as the city tower. There are many servants of the Zhen family standing in front of the gate. It will be taken over by the emperor's personal guards in a while.After passing the city gate, the road diverged again. Situ Yue didn't stop and walked along the widest road. The guards were left outside the city. Only the maids and eunuchs followed behind. Cheng Ju didn't know where to get it He asked Yun Xiao to open an umbrella for Situ Yue, but Yun Xiao couldn't keep up with Situ Yue's pace, and Cheng Yu was panting unevenly while trotting, Situ Yue didn't care, and walked forward with big strides.

Passing the houses, the huge rockery, the school grounds, and arriving at Jinglong Lake, the Xuande Hall is on the opposite side of the lake, and the main building on the other side of the Xuande Hall is the Xuanhe Hall.Situ Yue walked along Jinglong Lake, the two sides of the lake were built extremely flat, the lake was calm, and there were stone drums placed on the shore, ready for people to sit on them when they were tired from walking.

In the distance, a servant rode a horse and rushed to the front. He quickly got off the horse and knelt down to pay his respects, "My lord, my lord said: Jun Ming, hurry up and come to me. It's hot outside, so don't get sunburned."

Situ Yue received the oral order and rode the servant's horse without anyone following him. The fast horse galloped along Jinglong Lake, and arrived at Xuande Hall in a cup of tea.

A servant led the horse and showed Situ Yue the way. Situ Yue strode around several corridors and glanced at the paintings carved on the corridors. There was a very interesting painting, which depicted three monkeys wearing crowns. Have fun on the trees in the mountains and forests, next to the four small words "Marquis from generation to generation".

Situ Yue sneered, lifted his robe and walked out of the corridor, and climbed up the steps. The Xuande Hall is as high as six feet, with pavilions and pavilions one after another. Today there is a banquet in the main hall, so Situ Yue went directly to the main hall.

Before entering the door, a servant brought water, Situ Yue wiped his face, did not put down his robe, and waited until the transmission was finished, the main hall called and walked in.

Everyone arrived except him.

The emperor pointed at him with a smile and said to Zhen Yingjia, "If this monkey wasn't my own grandson, I wouldn't have waited for him."

Situ Yue bowed down, without waiting to shout, he stood up by himself, and greeted the three kings and other uncles.The Seventh King said in a gentle voice, "Jun Ming, the tired emperor has waited for so long, it is really wrong, you must not do this again, now that you are grown up, you can no longer be as arrogant as you were when you were young."

Coupled with the look that I'm doing it for your own good, it made Situ feel disgusted.

"Uncle Qi is right, grandfather, don't wait for me in the future, this is uncle who knows, if he doesn't know, he will think that I am proud of being favored."

The emperor chuckled, and said to Zhen Yingjia who was sitting on the side, "Look, this kid is not at a disadvantage, this is much better than his father."

The princes became embarrassed while sitting. Situ Yue snorted at the emperor, took off his robe from the jade belt, and said to the emperor, "You old man, eat. I'm not hungry. Go out and bask in the sun."

After finishing speaking, he went out the door. The emperor said to Liu Jinzi, "Come back quickly, what's the matter with her? Don't let her stand under the sun, don't think she can survive because of her youth. Fun."

At the same time, let the maids serve the food, the monarch and his ministers drank a few glasses together, and the Zhen family also arranged a few songs and dances. In the water town of the south of the Yangtze River, the girls' voices were clear and melodious, drinking wine and listening to the music, everyone became drunk after a while.The emperor left behind a girl who sang well, and the rest were divided among his sons and grandchildren.That night, I met the woman and named her Mrs. Li.

Situ Yue left Xuande Hall and followed a servant to Ranyun Pavilion where she slept temporarily.There are two floors, the upper part is the study room, and the lower part is for hospitality.Situ Yue took a look and found that the arrangement was very delicate, he lived upstairs, and let Cheng Ju and the others live downstairs.The Zhen family also sent more than [-] servants, ranging from a big girl who took care of others to a woman who cleaned.Situ Yue brought ten people to serve him, except for the servants who were maids, and he didn't care about the Zhen family's team, so he said to Yun Xiao, "Let them go, there are strangers, and my king can't sleep at night." He told Cheng Ju to take a look Where do the guards of Prince Rong's Mansion live and what are they lacking? Go to the kitchen and give some money to the cooks who cook for the guards. Don't be stingy.Be sure to let the guards eat well and live comfortably.

This order was not like her usual style of doing things with money. Yun Xiao and Cheng Ju exchanged glances, and when Cheng Ju went out, Yun Xiao took two second-class maids upstairs to tidy up.Xu Yuan's kitchen brought several plates of side dishes, Situ Yue took a look at the plates, it was kiln glaze.This kind of kiln-changing glaze was considered to be unknown in the past, but gradually, many people thought that this kind of vessel was elegant to use, and people would be fine after using it, so the unknown saying was forgotten.Because there are many uncontrollable factors in the firing of kiln-changed glaze, it is difficult to sell similar sets of kiln-changed glazed porcelain. Therefore, the whole set of kiln-changed glazed porcelain is much more expensive at this time.The fact that the Zhen family can easily produce so many white kiln-changing glazes with such a high degree of similarity shows that they have a lot of financial resources.
