Chapter 2251 Gui scrolls, carved beams and painted buildings, whatever I want

From Fengcheng Hutong to Rongning Street, no, there is no Rongning Street now, it has been renamed Sanjue Street. It is not too far to get to Sanjue Street. The carriage goes all the way. As expected, it takes less than an hour. almost there.

Because after the Feng family bought Rongning's second mansion and started to renovate it, since the Rongning Jia family was a rebellious and subordinate family, they were naturally not allowed to use the name Rongning anymore, so the street name was officially changed to Sanjue Street. This means that each of the three houses of the Feng family has a title, hence the name Sanjue Street.

The carriage stopped at the east corner gate of the original Ningguo Mansion. Feng Ziying got out of the carriage and looked around, only to realize that this place was already deserted compared to when the Jia family was still powerful.

There were people coming and going, many of whom were even members of the original Jia clan, but no one was too lazy to look over here.

Although the interior is still being renovated, the craftsmen do not enter or exit through the front door, but through the back door, including transporting materials. Because the Grand View Garden and Huifang Garden are in the back half, it is more convenient to use the back door, and the front door seems particularly sparse.

Feng Ziying could have gone in through the back door, but he deliberately took a detour to the front to take a look. He wanted to have an overview of the situation on the front of the entire Rongning Second Mansion and consider where to open the Feng Mansion in the future.

The original door of Rong Ning's second mansion is definitely not suitable. There is a private alley between the two mansions. It seems that the gate can be opened in the private alley, but the problem is that in addition to the main entrance, there are also one entrance, two entrances and three entrances to the courtyard. A comprehensive reconstruction project would be too big for Feng Ziying to accept.

This is not the time for major repairs and construction, which will only attract unnecessary criticism and responsibilities. It would be okay if we refactor it later, but that is a matter for the future.

Then the layout can only be based on the original structure of Rongguo Mansion.

The private alleys between Ningguo Mansion and Rongguo Mansion were cancelled, the walls were opened, and they were connected into one body. The scale was doubled, with the central axis of Rongguo Mansion as the main one. There was a bit of waste here in Ningguo Mansion, but considering that my father and mother still have Several aunts and younger sisters still need to live there, so the Ningguo Mansion can come in handy.

After turning around the door for a while, Feng Ziying let the carriage drive through the east corner door and walked in.

Yuanyang, Ping'er and Jin Chuan'er, the three girls, jumped out of the car happily.

 It is undoubtedly great news for them that they can return to their old place, and the two houses of Rongning and Rongning are merged into one and renovated to move in.

Having lived in Rongning Erfu for many years, I have a deep affection for every inch of land here, especially after the Grand View Garden was built. Although the girls were not qualified to live in the Grand View Garden, they still visited it frequently and were particularly attracted to the scenery in the Grand View Garden. Be proud of it.

Although the Jia family later found it difficult to continue, and the renovations in the Grand View Garden were somewhat behind the times, a camel was so skinny that it was bigger than a horse, and the shelves of the Grand View Garden were still there, which was still the pride of the girls.

Now that the Feng family has become the new owner of this area, and they have also become members of the Feng family, this unspeakable and complicated mood mixed with joy makes them even more uneasy and expectant.

Entering from the east corner gate, the three women seemed to have lost their ability to walk. Their steps slowed down and their eyes were confused. They walked all the way to the Yi gate. Feng Ziying looked confused and confused. She couldn't help but shake her head: " Yuanyang, are you taking us on a quick tour? Why don't you have any explanation?"

Yuanyang woke up from a dream and hurriedly shook his head, as if to throw away some of his emotions and thoughts, "Master, I am a little confused, uh, this is the original Ningguo Mansion. You see, Qinfang River is led from here. The tributary comes here, along the edge of the whitewashed wall. The whitewashed wall is still there. Whether it should be demolished or not depends on your agreement with your wife, because you said that this area is considered to be used by the ladies."

Qinfang Creek enters from the pink wall on the west side, then makes a small loop, passes through a black oil fence, and follows a house to the north until it reaches the northernmost water surface. This building was originally the Jia The ancestral hall has been preserved, but now except for the house, all other objects have been cleared away.

The Feng Ancestral Hall is in Linqing. Logically speaking, there is no need for an ancestral hall here. However, this house is not small in size and has a large number of houses. How to deal with them still needs to be arranged.

"This area turned out to be the Jia family ancestral hall, and behind it is the Conglv Hall. Look, sir, there are three pavilions, five in the main hall, and a lot of wing rooms on both sides. If there are no other considerations, you can actually consider opening the wing rooms on both sides. The door will make the entire courtyard open. You can consider turning the main hall into a flower hall for entertaining guests, and the Conglv Hall as a small Buddhist hall. The wife and concubines think it is troublesome to go to the temple, so they also You can eat vegetarian food and recite Buddha’s name here,…”

Yuanyang's suggestion made Feng Ziying very satisfied. As my mother and aunt got older, they began to believe in Buddhism and eat fast. If they had to go out to go to the temple, it would be most convenient if they could eat vegetarian food and chant Buddha's name at home.

"Well, this is a good suggestion. Cong Lvtang can be considered for use by the ladies. The main hall is well connected, and Baoxia is connected into one. I think it is a good place for entertaining guests and banquets. Moreover, the location is moderate, in the Between the two sides, it just applies.”

Yuanyang was not pleased with Feng Ziying's praise and asked Ping'er and Jin Chuan'er: "What do you two think?"

"Sister's suggestion is very good, we have no objection." Ping'er and Jinchuan'er were confused before they were called. Later, Yuanyang told them that it would involve the allocation of residences for the grandmothers.

 This is a big deal, and Ping'er and Jin Chuan'er felt that it was not an easy matter. No wonder Yuanyang wanted to call them together for reference.

The house in Ningguo Mansion may seem ordinary at first glance, but there is something special inside.

In addition to the main hall and a series of courtyards on the front, there are also several large courtyards on the east side, where the original masters lived.

Except for the stables and servants' rooms to the south, which have the same regulations as those in Rongguo Mansion, further inside is a small study.

Jia Zhen and Jia Rong didn't study either, so it was just a place to decorate the facade and be elegant. It was probably a secret place to hang out with the boys.

The Jia Rong Courtyard and the Youshi Courtyard are staggered in order, and both extend back along the east wall. The Jia Rong Courtyard is very deep, and the Youshi Courtyard is slightly smaller. Behind it is the small courtyard where several of Jia Zhen's concubines lived. It is much smaller than Jiarong and Youshiyuan.

 Further behind and parallel to the main hall are the guest rooms and servants' quarters.

I have to say that the Rong Ning family treats their servants well. Of course, because many of these servants are born into the same family, some respectable servants can be assigned to a single courtyard, and the whole family can live together. At the worst, they can have two or three side rooms.

Of course, ordinary servants, young maids and maids who are not yet married, and who still need to go to bed at night, can only squeeze together or even sleep on the big bunk.

Feng Ziying and his entourage passed by in a hurry and were not very interested in the residences in Ningguo Mansion. Although there were many houses, they had no special features. The real essence was in Huifang Garden.

 Going through the main hall, you will see a middle door in front of you, and you will enter the Dengxian Pavilion.

On the third floor of Dengxian Pavilion, you can see the momentum of soaring through the gate. The main and vertical ridges are cleverly constructed, and the main bridge is towering. Just look at the beams and brackets under the eaves, as well as the brackets and corbels, all of which are exquisitely crafted. It is made so that even after decades of ups and downs, it still retains its elegance.

Feng Ziying stood downstairs and looked at it carefully, and couldn't help but admire it.

It is true that such a mansion is not affordable for ordinary people, but the usual repair and maintenance of these pavilions and pavilions cannot be done by ten or eight craftsmen.

Similarly, the annual expenses are also quite staggering.

It’s no wonder that in order to support this scene, if these wealthy and powerful families do not have enough income every year, they can only sink step by step, and eventually become the old kings and queens of Xietang, flying into the homes of ordinary people.

Behind Dengxian Pavilion are Doufengxuan and Tianxiang Tower. To the west is a wide Qinfang River flowing through it. Behind Tianxiang Tower, a suddenly open water surface is formed. A folding corridor bridge winds along the east side of the water surface. Passing through, we reach Linshui Pavilion and Ningxi Pavilion in the south. The access door of Huifang Garden is right next to each other. Going out from the access door is the last row of residences of prominent servants in Ningguo Mansion.

At this time, it was the crisp autumn air. Feng Ziying bypassed Doufengxuan and Tianxiang Tower and went straight along the folding corridor bridge. The thick wooden boards were very stable and flexible when stepped on.

The reason why the bridge is named Banzhang Corridor Bridge is because there are intermittent roofs on it, which can provide shade from the sun and rain. There is also a small pavilion at the turning point for resting. Standing in the middle of the water, looking at the lotus leaves and lotus flowers in the lake that have not been completely lost, it feels relaxed and happy. , arises spontaneously.

"Yuanyang, as soon as the wall is opened, it feels different. Is that the Qingtang thatched cottage over there?" Feng Ziying stood in the small pavilion and looked at the other end of the water. A thatched cottage hidden among the green tree trellises was vaguely visible. .

"Well, that's Qingtang Thatched Cottage. Opposite Qingtang Thatched Cottage is Aojingxi Pavilion. I originally thought that Qingtang Thatched Cottage and Aojingxi Pavilion were far away from each other, and the scenery was very beautiful. But now that the wall is opened, they are connected to this place. If they are one body, then a small witch will be compared to a big witch." Yuanyang nodded repeatedly.

Looking from here, you can also see the Dashu Mountain and the faint Tubi Villa, and the top of the tallest Grand View Tower can also be seen. It can be seen that if these two sides are connected into one, there will be a truly natural pattern.

"Let's go, let's walk along Ningxixuan. I won't look at the buildings here, but the flowers, trees and vines in this part of the garden are not as reasonable as the design in the Grand View Garden. They may need to be rearranged to make it more harmonious. The Grand View Garden is integrated, Jin Chuan'er, it's up to you to handle this matter." Feng Ziying ordered.

 Jinchuaner quickly wrote it down.

A group of people walked along Ning Xixuan and could see sporadic craftsmen working outside Lixiangyuan. Some of the walls in this area have been demolished, and some have not yet been demolished. It is a bit messy, but it must be separated from the backyard. Yes, Feng Ziying also considered that she could live in Lixiangyuan as her own bodyguard in the future.
