Looking across from the suspension bridge, it seems clear and you can easily transfer the house, but once you walk over, you will find that you are in this mountain.
After crossing the bridge, there is a platform with three bluestone railings. In the center is a white jade moon table, four round flower drum piers, and a large round mirror to the ground is inlaid against the wall.
After looking down at the foot of the mountain for a while, everyone saw Lan Xiang walking over and pushing the round mirror gently. The mirror turned silently and a big moon hole appeared.
The light inside is bright, flowers and trees are flourishing, and the mountain springs are gurgling out of the stone walls. What's even more peculiar is that they are covered with glass to form a closed space, as if they are in the moon palace.
The girls couldn't help but admire the structure of the round mirror carefully, and made bamboo shoots up and down in the middle. When they pushed the round mirror over, they would come over horizontally and vertically, with a line between them, and people could leave on both sides.
After passing the door, Zhu Ruoyu turned around and watched Xu Yu, who was walking at the end, pushing the mirror back to its original position. It was still a round mirror.
Zhu Ruizhu asked, "How come this mirror can reflect people on both sides?"
Xu Yu explained: "It's two mirrors that come together."
"Oh." Zhu Ruizhu nodded, turned around and admired this place with a significantly higher temperature. It also looked like a platform. It was surrounded by railings, like a semicircle, with a huge space and confusing mind. It was hard to tell where it was located? It seemed that there were corridors on both sides, and most of the flowers and trees were stalagmites and osmanthus.
Zhu Wuyu felt strange and asked, "How can we plant trees upstairs?"
Xu Yu smiled and said, "Where is the upper floor, this is the top of the mountain."
Zhu Ruoyu thought about it and understood it, and smiled and said, "The terrain here is as tall as the upper floors there, so I was confused."
As he said, Mu Lanxiang in front of him said, "It's too hot here, let's go out and sit. Next door is my Xixiangxuan. I went directly to Yuchun Mountain House, ready to use it for the master and wife to take care of themselves in their spare time, and no one has ever lived there."
Everyone said it was OK with the host, but only Xu Yunyu smiled and said, "It seems that Xixiangxuan is a new house, and the Chunshan house is my father's. In the future, the second brother and sister-in-law will become a kiss, so you can enjoy it. Humph! What's the point of looking at? There are so many houses in the house."
Mu Lanxiang's pretty face turned red and she said angrily: "Who asked you to come and see you? You are impatient and let you go around."
Xu Yunyu smiled. She and Lan Xiang were intimate and were used to making fun of each other. Others didn't care. They followed Xu Yu in a cave for a while and walked to Liuyuchun's mountain house.
It seems that Chunshan House is located in the back mountain, with a five-bedroom large courtyard with rolled tents on all sides, all with large hexagonal red glass and a siding window, and the floor-to-ceiling windows are located near the middle. There is no need to repeat the details of various carvings.
The five rooms in the house are divided into three rooms, and they are separated by mahogany large moon cave-shaped lattice. On the middle waist hall door, there are eight large screens made of nanmu, engraved with gold mountains and rivers. It is actually a panoramic view of Yisou Garden.
There are large kangs and large chairs inside, all of which are made of mahogany marble antique Chinese style. Look at the partitions in the Moon Cave, which are also very spacious, with a depth of about five or six rafters. They can be converted into a bedroom at any time.
Because it was still early, the girls walked around casually. The Zhu sisters were excitedly turning out from the left-hand veranda and saw that there were railings hanging on one side of the yard against the wall. There were holes in the walls of the flower windows and holes on the walls. When they walked to the veranda in front, they realized that this direction was the front of Liuchun Mountain House.
The style of the house is undoubtedly a combination of Chinese and Western style. As Xu Hao grows older, he no longer sticks to pure Hanism. Art is borderless. The reason why the prosperous Tang Dynasty was wonderful was because she tolerated the world.
The Zhu sisters walked around outside and came back from the main entrance. In the middle was a bluestone terrace with a blue brick awning, glass lights were tied under the rolled tent, and a large white glass with a floor-to-ceiling window in the middle.
When you enter the door, you will see the nanmu carved words "Yi Suyuan Record" hanging on the door of the Zhengzhongtang. On both sides, there are four bronze and blue lamps in eastern Guangdong hanging on the bookcase.
There are two large kangs on the left and right sides, and there is a large window with a book case at each window, and Houxuan is where you came just now.
It turned out that this yard was originally a five-bedroom and ten-raffic mandarin duck hall, with five rafters in front and back, and a double-rolled tent on the roof, so one yard looked like two.
There are three rooms in the center, one with a hall door, and the two sides with floor-mounted covers, which makes the space feel particularly spacious. Inside the two sides, the two rooms are centered, and the floor-mounted covers are also used to divide the front and back, making the entire layout design diverse and unique and exquisite.
Everyone came back to sit down, but Zhu Ruoyu didn't sit down, so she walked to the bookshelf to take a book to read. Zhu Mingzhi said, "What kind of tricks should we use now? None of us is idle. It's better for each to choose a place in the garden so that we can tell people to clean up and move it over in the morning."
After hearing this, Zhu Ruoyu held the book and said, "I live here and don't have to choose another place."
Xu Yunning said, "Look, although there are separate rooms on both sides of the two sides, there is no door. There is no door at the Yuedong Gate behind. How can people live?"
"It's hot now, so it's cooler if there's no door." Zhu Wuyu didn't care.
Mu Lanxiang also said: "Although it's good, it's just that it's not prepared, and it's not a room straight. Otherwise, it's better to make the bed with a screen partition, otherwise how can you sleep?"
"The partition is boring." Zhu Ruoyu turned her head and thought for a while, and said, "I have a good idea. I saw an iron bed in my fifth aunt's room in the Venetian style. Her tent opened front and back, and I would still buy or make it, and put it in the middle. How about it?"
"I know." Xu Yu shouted: "I have slept in that bed before. At first I slept in the back room. The back room was a bedroom with a dressing table. But when I woke up, I forgot which side was the tent door. Seeing that the light was lit in front, I lifted it up and walked out. I saw that it was not the place where I slept at first, but a study room. I was very confused at that time. Later, I asked her and found out that the bed was opened with the front and back doors. Sister Ruan bought a picture and put it here, which was better than hers."
Zhu Ruoyu didn't say anything, and Xu Yunyu asked with a smile: "Second brother, you have talked about her a lot. Who is she? Dare you have slept on the bed of the fifth concubine of the Zhu family?"
Xu Yu was stunned and then blushed, which made Zhu Ruoyu and Zhu Ruizhu blush. Zhu Mingzhi and others looked at Xu Yu's face one after another.
Seeing that Zhu Ruoyu was embarrassed, Xu Yu explained: "I went to play with Sister Ruo. When I was sleepy, the fifth aunt asked me to sleep in her room. Sister Ruo was worried and kept staying in the study and reading."
Everyone's reactions were different. Mu Lanxiang had always been very slow in dealing with men and women and did not take it seriously. Others did not think that Xu Yu would do something extraordinary. However, Zhu Mingzhi looked at them deeply and said nothing.
Seeing that everyone was silent all of a sudden, Xu Yunyu regretted the suddenness and asked, "Where is Sister Ruizhu living?"
Zhu Ruizhu said, "I'm here too."
Xu Yu said: "I'm letting Sister Ruan live here. Sister Ruizhu is worse than to live in Tianfeng Tower on the wall between Xixiangxuan. I live in Xixiangxuan."
"No." Lan Xiang smiled and said, "Xixiangxuan has always been mine. If you want to live, you can live in the Sunset Red House. The Roman House is a hot spring bathroom, which is not easy to live in."
Xu Yu said, "Sister Ruizhu lives in Tianfeng Tower, Sister Mingzhi lives in the sunset red half-story building. Mingmei lives in Linglong Pavilion, Binglan lives in the Orchid Garden. Well, Xiangyu lives in the Zuihuaxian Pavilion."
Zhu Ruizhu smiled and said, "I won't fight for these things. Please give it to you."
Xu Yunning shouted dissatisfiedly: "So, there is only one Qiusheng Pavilion left on the mountain. Where can the three of us live?"
"Don't worry, I've chosen it long ago." Xu Yunyu didn't mind that his brother favored one and the other. After all, the visitor was a guest. "What are the benefits of the houses on this mountain facing north? If you can't stay here today, I might as well live in Qingkexuan at the foot of the mountain, with a few bamboos. I like the tranquility."
Xu Yunsu, who was holding the cat, continued, "Then I will choose a Fangshan and be with my second sister."
"No," Xu Yunyu said: "I didn't like your cat at first, and where are my girls going? Qing Kexuan has no Houxuan. The next one is to live for the girls."
So the three sisters discussed for a long time, and finally Yunsu decided to settle Hanbi Mountain Courtyard, and Yunning chose the Haitang Xiang Meng Hall.
Zhu Wuyu asked, "Where is the Haitang Xiang Meng Hall?"
Xu Yu explained: "The Qingkexuan Corridor is followed by Hanbishan Courtyard, and the next door is Haitang Xiangmeng Dream Hall, which is not far away from each other."
Zhu Mingzhi heard this and asked, "I vaguely remember that Hanbishan Courtyard is turned east. The corridor of Hanbishan Courtyard is the Tingyuxi Pavilion facing south. Next to Tingyuxi Pavilion is a terrace with a flowing cloud in the hall. When you walk over, you will go up the mountain. Where is the Haitang Xiangmeng Dream Hall?"
"No," Xu Yu said: "You are talking about the row of courtyards in Tingyuxie, the front row facing south. The Hanbishan courtyard faces east. The corridor on the right hand is connected to Tingyuxie, and the corridor on the left hand is side by side with Haitang Xiangmengxuan, only a flower wall is separated.
Haitang Xiangmengxuan and Hanbishan Courtyard are also side by side, with three rooms facing east. The front of Xiangmengxuan, the left corridor connects to the front of Tingyucao Cottage, and the right corridor connects to the back of Tingyucao Cottage. The walls of Tingyucao Cottage are Bilangxuan Pavilion with bamboo. Both places face north and south, and walk over the stone steps of Bilangxuan Pavilion, followed by the stage, and then the left-hand corridor of Chunsheng Pavilion.
The Chun Sound Pavilion has three rooms facing west. It turns from the right hand to the garden behind Bilangxuan Pavilion. It goes all the way to the garden. It is behind Tingyucaotang, and it is still the corridor of Haitang Xiangmengxuan's left hand."
After being circled by him, everyone was confused by listening, so they got up to see the panoramic view of Yisou Garden. Only then did they know that the yards in that area were divided into two rows in front and back, with eight courtyards in total, all four directions, like a Bagua formation. No wonder even those who often come can't remember it.
Zhu Ruizhu smiled at Lan Xiang and said, "It's not enough to have a map alone. I think it's necessary to chant the poems one by one, and then erect a monument and let Yu'er carry it for you to be interesting."
Zhu Mingzhi suddenly said, "I remember that in front of Bilangxuan Pavilion, there is water flowing clouds in the hall. In front of Hanbishan Pavilion is Tingyuxi Pavilion, and on one side is the patio of Chunsheng Pavilion. Outside the wall of Chunsheng Pavilion is the uncle's external study room, right?"
