Chapter 2361 Gui Zi Juan conquers again, truly defeating the famous masters

As Feng Ziying walked, she listened to Yuanyangdi’s introduction.

To him, the entire Rongguo Mansion is more like a completely unfamiliar environment, because the original layout and arrangements of the Jia family have become a thing of the past, and instead the Feng family makes arrangements according to needs.

For example, Jia Baoyu's outer study room became the place where Yuanyang, Ping'er and Jin Chuaner handled daily chores in the house.

Similarly, the original Da Shunlian Room behind Rongxi Hall became the place where the three daughters of Shen Xuelin handled reception and research affairs. Yuanyang and the others would choose this place when they wanted to report.

The buildings in the entire Rongguo Mansion, except for the Grand View Garden, are generally used by my mother, aunt, and father, and also by the servants. Even so, they still appear to be very well off.

 After entering the Grand View Garden, I also felt a great change.

 Because of the connection between Rongning and Ningfu, the main change was the merging of Daguan Garden and Huifang Garden into one.

Feng Ziying and his party entered the Conglv Hall on the Ningguo Mansion side from Tirenmudeyuan, which is the small door behind Jia Zheng's outer study.

Cong Green Hall faces the water surface behind Huifang Garden that is connected to the Grand View Garden. Now that the walls of the two houses have been opened, the entire water surface appears wider.

From Ningxixuan in the north to Conglutang in the south, from Tianxiang Tower-Doufengxuan-Dengxian Pavilion in the east to Aojingxi Pavilion-Qingtang Cottage-Chuicui Temple in the west, it turns out that it is between the walls of the two houses. There are still scattered rockery stones separating them. Now that the palace wall has been demolished, these rockery stones have also been removed. In this way, the area from Aojingxi Pavilion to Ningxixuan is regarded as water.

It turns out that the painting boat used during the wedding ceremony in Yuanchun can be traveled west and north along the Qinfang River to Qiu Shuangzhai and Ou Xiang Pavilion, and then through Liuyezhu to Hongxiang Garden and Hengwu Garden, then through the cave, and back to Liaoting Huashu. Daoxiang Village, Luxueguang, Zhujin Tower, Didui Pavilion, Xiaoxiang Pavilion and Cuiyan Bridge are all on this line.

To the east, you can go directly from the Jade Archway through Qinfang Bridge to the Aojingxi Pavilion, then to Ningxi Pavilion, and then to Tianxiang Pavilion, Doufeng Pavilion and Dengxian Pavilion. It can be said that the scenic spots of the entire Grand View Garden and Huifang Garden are combined. All connected in series.

“Let’s all take a boat and walk along this line together,” Feng Ziying suggested enthusiastically.

Naturally, no one came to dampen Feng Ziying's interest. The boat was not big, but it was more than enough to accommodate about ten people. The boat soon went north from Conglutang, taking a zigzag "concave" shape, and finally formed a closed loop, while the relatives The villa is located in the place where the depression of the word "concave" comes in.

Of course, at the lower right end and upper right end of the "concave" shape, that is, the northeast end and southeast end, the water introduced from the outer river is called Qinfang Creek, and then flows out from the southeast end, thus forming such a "Concave" shaped ring of living water.

It should be said that the craftsmen who originally designed this Grand View Garden and introduced the living water put a lot of effort into it. Just bringing in the living water is not a simple matter. The key is to introduce the clear spring and living water. This is just a little work. The cost of the Ministry and Shuntian Mansion will not be small.

This boat trip took nearly an hour. The boat slowly traveled through the stream. The coast was green and green, with lush vegetation. The group sat on the boat, feeling the cool breeze on the stream, and watching the various scenery on both sides. There are also the green leaves and red lotuses in the pool, which are quiet and refreshing, and the railings and bridges are intertwined with red and green, which is like a picture of a fairy.

Even Shen Xuelin and the other girls have walked through it several times, but this perspective from the boat tour is completely different. The girls are also relaxed and happy when they see it.

 After all, this is the place where people will live for a long time in the future. Having such a beautiful environment will make you feel much better.

 The boat made a long circle and finally stopped at the white stone bridge next to the bamboo fence and flower barrier.

Yihongyuan and Dengxian Pavilion here face each other in the distance across the water. On one side is Rongguo Mansion and on the other side is Ningguo Mansion. But now they are combined into one. If you have a small boat here, you can go around the pool leisurely. Walk through, land at will and enjoy the scenery.

Seeing Feng Ziying's face full of joy, the Yuanyang girls finally felt relieved. Although the grandma was very satisfied with the expense, if the uncle was not satisfied after seeing it, then the result would be in vain. Fortunately, Feng Ziying was very satisfied after seeing it, thank you for your hard work. After so long, we finally got a good result.

It was not until Feng Ziying returned home that shen Xuelin and her three daughters reported the entire repair and maintenance expenses to Feng Ziying.

Just such a comprehensive renovation cost more than 30,000 taels of silver. In addition, some additional items were added, which is estimated to have cost another 5,000 or 6,000 taels of silver.

　　Previously, the three women Shen Xue and Lin thought that they could get it done with less than 10,000 taels of silver, but now it seems that more than 30,000 taels of silver is already considered a very careful calculation, but the results achieved are also very worthwhile.

"You have to spend what you should spend. The place is big now, and many places are still empty. Wanjun, Baochai, and Daiyu, you three must not be too stingy. This is where our family lives, and every day When you open your eyes, you will see all this. What comes into view is a beautiful picture, and everyone feels much more comfortable. Therefore, we have made up for what needs to be supplemented, and purchased what needs to be added. Our Feng family can still afford it now. Of course, we don’t pay attention to too much luxury, as long as we feel satisfied.”

Feng Ziying walked a long way and entered the former Yihong Courtyard, where she sat down and chatted with the girls.

This place has been officially renamed Jingqi Study Room. There is only one calligraphy written by Feng Ziying hanging on the wall. Although the calligraphy is average, it is more powerful than the pen.

“Be calm when facing big events” is also taken from Zeng Guofan’s famous saying. Both Shen Yixiu and Xue Baochai highly praised Feng Ziying’s “this sentence”, but Daiyu thought it was average.

"My husband, this sentence is suitable for hanging in the study. However, my husband also said before that he also wrote a sentence for our sisters. Is it time to take it out?" Daiyu looked around at everything in the study. , all based on Feng Ziying's preferences. It is completely different from the original Yihongyuan where Jia Baoyu was, and the original pattern can no longer be found at all.

Feng Ziying coughed dryly and glared at Daiyu.

This girl had been saying that she was too old-fashioned since she wrote the sentence "Be calm in the face of big events" that day. Only a forty-year-old should have such an understanding. She was only in her early twenties, so she should have something different. The artistic conception is the key, so she had to write another sentence by herself. Shen Yixiu, Baochai and other girls were also making noises on the sidelines, leaving Feng Ziying with no choice but to accept it.

Daiyu has such a literary temperament, if you can't come up with a decent song, she will definitely be disappointed, and Feng Ziying doesn't want to make her own impression in Sister Lin's mind.

But the art of poetry cannot be learned just by working behind closed doors. Poems from the Tang, Song, and Ming dynasties are very popular among people. Feng Ziying can also remember a lot of them, but the problem is that everyone knows this, and so do girls. It’s so familiar that I can’t plagiarize even if I want to.

It also forced Feng Ziying to pick wool from sheep after the Ming Dynasty, and it had to meet the taste of a literary youth like Daiyu. Apart from Nalan Xingde, there seemed to be no suitable sheep.

It's a pity that the sentence "If life is just like the first time we met, why is the autumn wind sad to draw a fan" and the two following sentences have already been used by Feng Ziying when she "seduce" Shen Yixiu, so she has to adapt to the situation.

“Ruixiang, go get my painting.” Feng Ziying cleared her throat and prepared to show off.

Since you have to do something, you must do your best.

Ruixiang hurriedly came in with the painting in his hands and presented it carefully as if it were a treasure.

When the girls saw this scene, they were all surprised. My husband's calligraphy was average. As for painting, he seemed to be able to draw with charcoal. Daiyu and the others knew this, but the painting Ruixiang held was obviously made by an old man. , and it is not a charcoal drawing, it is obviously a palace landscape painting of a lady.

 When Ruixiang unfolded the painting and laid it on the table, all the girls came forward to look at it.

Shen Yixiu took a brief look and said in surprise: "This painting of Mr. Ming was probably made by the former Ming Shi Rui, right? There are not many paintings by Shi Rui on the market now, but you can still see them. This one is considered a masterpiece, and the artistic conception is Very good, but..."

"But what does this have to do with the poem my husband is planning to write?" Daiyu also frowned and asked.

"Humph, my husband's literary talent also needs to be stimulated according to the situation. It would be too rough for ordinary people to just say it casually." Feng Ziying sat down behind the desk with a big look, "Jade chaier, grind ink!"

Yuchuaner quickly brought up the pen, ink and inkstone that had been prepared, and carefully polished the ink and moistened the pen for Feng Ziying.

Seeing Feng Ziying so calm and relaxed, all the girls were very curious and gathered around her.

Everyone knows that their husbands don't like poetry. Although there are occasionally famous quotes by extraordinary talents, they are kept secret. Even Shen Xuelin and others have received Feng Ziying's "famous quotes", and they are all treasured in their boudoir, keeping secret. Show it to others, as a little secret for yourself and your husband, take it out and savor it when you are alone at home from time to time, it will have a unique taste.

In the past two years, Feng Ziying has been busy with court affairs, and it has been rare for her to act on the spot. Moreover, she writes poems in front of all the girls. It must be very unusual. She has to see what her husband will come up with. Such words and phrases come.

Looking at the artistic conception of this painting, it is the work of Shi Rui, a court painter of the Ming Dynasty. Autumn rain falls on an empty mountain, and the setting sun shines in the evening. A lady stands alone outside the hut, looking at the mountain scenery with her back turned. She is somewhat lonely, and seems to have a sense of loneliness. Full of concern and expectation, as if waiting for her husband to return.

Feng Ziying concentrated on her luck, thought for a moment, and then painted on the painting, finishing it in one go.

“How deep is the passion, the sunset in the deep mountains and the deep autumn rain”.

 When the first sentence came out, everyone thought it was a bit superficial, but when the second sentence came out, even Shen Yixiu was amazed.

I then thought of the sentence my husband gave me, "If life is just like the first time we met, what's the point of painting a fan in the autumn wind?" The style is similar, and I was a little crazy for a while.
