Chapter 311: Twelve Courtyards of the Villa



Each residence has three courtyards, most of which are named after flowers and plants.

Inside Changchun Residence are Qingyou Courtyard (with plum blossoms in January), Bisi Courtyard (with willow branches in February) and Yangchun Courtyard (with peach blossoms in March).

Inside Anxia Residence are Tianxiang Garden (peonies in April), Zhifang Pavilion (gardenias in May), and Xike Mansion (lotus in June).

Inside Shengqiu Residence are the Lanhui Garden (orchids in July), Jiulixiang (osmanthus in August), and Chongyang Pavilion (chrysanthemums in September).

Inside Yingdong Residence are the Frost-Rejecting Garden (with hibiscus in October), the Narcissus Garden (with daffodils in November), and the Feihua Courtyard (with snowflakes in December).

Each courtyard is independent, but harmonious with the overall environment.

There are at least seven or eight rooms, and at most dozens.

There are indeed many places for people to rest.

Outside these courtyards is the Youhuang Pavilion (Qinshi), and outside the pavilion are the purple bamboo forest and the Phoenix Pond.

Yunyu Pavilion (Teahouse), "I pick Yunyu in my home in the south of the Yangtze River, I don’t notice the falling snow and clouds." Yunyu is an elegant name for tea.

Outside the museum, there are several tea trees transplanted by Shen Yizi from the space. The tallest one is level with the roof, and the tea leaves are green and the tea fragrance is faint.

Brewing a cup of tea here and drinking it leisurely while appreciating the beautiful scenery outside is truly a joy in life.

Yanhailou (study), named after the vast sea of ​​smoke, has walls filled with books, and the writings are like mountains and seas.

There are also Wangyou Pavilion (tavern), Wuji Pavilion (chess room), museum, Zhenbao Tower, etc.

Liu Jingran came to Youhuang Pavilion under the guidance of the maid. He was originally attracted by Shen Yizhi's guqin and music scores. Now that he was free, how could he bear it? When he entered the guqin room, his eyes were glued to the guqins on the guqin table.

"Can I, can I try?"

He wiped his hands vigorously on his robe.

The maid had received Shen Yizhi's instructions earlier, and replied with a smile: "Of course you can, as long as you don't break it."

How could he bear to break it? Liu Jingran touched the zithers one by one, and his favorite was the Fengweizither.

The maid had been looking forward to hearing this world-famous master of the zither play a piece of music, but instead she saw him falling asleep with his zither in his arms.

In Wuji Pavilion, there are several sets of elm jade chess. The elm jade chess is composed of elm jade chessboard and cold and warm jade chess pieces.

For example, ash jade is produced from Jizhen Island in the East China Sea. It is similar to ash wood and can be carved into chessboards so smooth that you can even reflect a mirror.

There is also a hand-talking pool on the island, which is soaked with a kind of natural cold and warm jade, which is warm in winter and cool in summer. The jade is either completely black or completely white, without a single flaw.

With a little carving, they become natural chess pieces.

For example, the elm jade chessboard and the cold and warm jade chess pieces are a natural match, and when put together they form a elm jade chess game.

The elm jade has the effect of nourishing the body and calming the mind. If you keep in touch with it for a long time, your physical ailments will gradually heal. Of course, this is just a legend, and no one can confirm whether it is true.

After all, the Chuyu Bureau has almost become a legend.

Those who love chess all regard obtaining a jade chess board as their lifelong pursuit.

And now, five chess sets appeared in the chess room at once!

Lin Bingyi, a chess master, could hardly believe his eyes, but the chess pieces in front of him felt warm, soft and smooth to the touch, and when he held them in his hands, he clearly felt his mind cleared and he felt indescribably refreshed.

If this wasn't the legendary cold and warm jade, then what could it be? Manor Master Shen really hadn't lied to him!

Lin Bingyi immediately sat down in front of the chessboard and said to the jade carving master Wen Daoming, "How about we play a game of chess?"

Wen Daoming shook his head like a rattle: "I don't want to be tortured. If you want to get off, do it yourself."

Just like Lin Bingyi is an idiot in carving, Wen Daoming can only be crushed in chess.

Unlike what Lin Bingyi saw, which was the elm jade bureau, what he saw was the impeccable exquisite carving technique.

Smoke Sea Tower.

Pei Hao, who is an expert in both calligraphy and painting, came here.

Looking at the magnificent building in front of him, his heart was filled with excitement.

The entire study covers an area of ​​7 to 8 acres (more than 2,000 square meters), with three floors. The walls of the first floor are covered with calligraphy and paintings, all of which are authentic works of masters from past dynasties.

On the second and third floors stand rows of bookshelves reaching up to the ceiling, filled with countless books. All kinds of unique, ancient and precious books are everywhere here.

The content covers history, travel notes, martial arts, storybooks, medical skills, scriptures, farming and so on.

There is nothing you can't find, only what you can't think of.

There is only one word to describe it: vast.

When Pei Hao stepped into the study, the calligraphy and paintings hanging on the first floor alone gave him endless shock.

In the museum, there are heavy and majestic bronze tripods, warm and delicate jade pig dragons, slender and graceful beauty vases, and mighty and ferocious beast statues...

The famous collector Song Duan stood in front of a sky-blue porcelain vase with tears in his eyes.

The porcelain in front of me is blue as the sky, bright as a mirror, thin as paper, and has a bright and beautiful surface with fine lines. Isn't this the Chai Kiln that was only recorded in ancient books but never passed down? !

On the other side, Gu Xueting followed Shen Yizi all the way since leaving Chunming Hall, but he never saw her speak.

He couldn't hold his temper anymore, "Zhizhi, don't you have anything to ask me?"

Shen Yizhi looked surprised: "Should I ask you something?"

Gu Xueting pursed his lips into a line, looking depressed and somewhat angry as he looked at her.

Of course, this anger was not directed at her, but at the culprit who was talking nonsense.

Shen Yizhi was amused by his expression, hooked his finger at him, and motioned him to bend down.

Gu Xueting leaned over, and the next moment, his face was held by her and he was tapped lightly on the forehead.

"Do you think I would doubt you just because of a few vague words from outsiders? You have too little confidence in me."

Gu Xueting took advantage of the situation and hooked her waist to pull her into his arms, rubbing her hair, and willingly admitted his fault: "Well, it's my fault."

Shen Yizhi twisted his waist again: "Also, why did you go to Qingbao's performances to join in the fun? You took away all three opportunities at once, disrupting my original plan."

She originally wanted to use this opportunity to give benefits to everyone. There is a saying that goes "If you want to get something, you must give it first."

If you take advantage of her, those people will naturally be biased towards her. Once you leave here, why should you be afraid that they won't help her with free publicity?

You know, in this era there is also such a thing as star chasing, and those celebrities are the objects pursued by the general public.

Otherwise, how did they get the title of Guqin Saint or Painting Saint? Wasn't it chosen by their fanatical fans?
