Chapter 47: Nowadays, the beautiful girl in the golden house (Chinese)

In this era, brick burning technology was already very mature, but there were not many brick houses. Modern people speculated that it was because of adhesives. The ancients did not have cement, so brick houses needed to mix adhesives such as glutinous rice juice into the yellow mud, which caused the cost of building a house to remain high.

Wang Gong had already seen that the house was made of completely different materials, such as the roof was not covered with thatch, but instead of plaster, which made him look forward to seeing the completed house.

"I'll stay for a few more days and live in the 'Dongpo New House'," Wang Gong said with a smile.

Originally, in history, Wang Gong would linger with Su Shi for five days, but now he stayed for ten days in one go, and also participated in this Mid-Autumn Festival gathering of Huangzhou literati...

The consequence of this incident was: a butterfly flapped its wings and the domino effect exploded.

After the house was built, it was hanged for two days and started painting. After the painting, it was hanged for two days before moving into the new house. The snow-white walls were praised by Wang Gong, while Su Dongpo was very happy and romantically painted the white walls with strange rocks and trees. Before leaving, Wang Gong was reluctant to leave, and it was not until Cheng Xia left that he wanted to leave the building drawings and construction methods of the house. From then on, the use of lime spread.

This ordinary house with a white and elegant interior also alarmed Xu Zhizhou. For Su Dongpo's sake, he did not make things difficult for the house builders. In the end, he followed suit. Wen Cheng Xia had to leave a building drawing and build a brick house in the official office imitating the "Dongpo New House" look like it.

This new "snow house" also restored Su Dongpo's popularity. From this, literati near the prefectures and counties knew that even in the most difficult times, some people were willing to lend a helping hand at all costs. Therefore, Su Dongpo's visitor gradually increased, and Dongpo's new snow house gradually became a scene in Huangzhou.

Literature particularly appreciates the setting of the roof pulley - people drink and talk about poetry on the roof, and the tea and water you need can be hung on the pulley without any pain of climbing, which is simply the favorite of lazy people...

This pulley setting is actually not intentional. Modern rural houses have this device. The roofs in rural areas are used as gravel yards, so pulleys are installed for hanging and delivering grains. Zhao Xing designed a modern ordinary house, so this device is available.

Among the praises of literati and poets, some people also suggested meeting Su Dongpo, the new student, but Zhao Xing never appeared. It was a month since the Double Ninth Festival, and Zhao Xing still did not come back, which made Su Shi feel a little nervous.

According to the history of the Song Dynasty, it only takes seven days to get from sea to Japan. As soon as Zhao Xing left, two or three months had passed, and even if he sent someone to Japan, he should have come back long ago.

Could it be that I used my words to report them? No, right? There is nothing taboo about my words.

Su Shi couldn't help but ask the ten children of Cheng Xia and Cheng Jiaao who came here to report every day: "Do you teacher have any news?"

After the construction of the new residence of Dongpo, the ten children in Chengjiaao stayed at Su Dongpo for advice every day. After a long time of contact, Su Dongpo also understood that as Cheng Xia, the best among them, had only learned a few more words. If he could pass the imperial examination, Zhao Xing must have done his tricks.

Su Shi was not able to transcend this unspoken rule in the officialdom, but he then quit his interest in directly taking the children as disciples. He only saw that these children were very diligent and asked for advice every day, so he could teach them in his spare time.

When Su Shi asked about Zhao Xing's news, Cheng Xia crossed his hands and replied: "Master, the teacher has received the news of the grandmaster's childbirth. He said he would definitely come back before 'a hundred feet'."

A hundred days after the birth of a baby was called "Baishanzi". It is believed that long life is a hundred years old, so a hundred years old is called "Baishanzi". Meng Yuanlao, a Song Dynasty man, said: "A meeting for a hundred days after giving birth is called "Baishanzi". When the next birthday is called "Baishanzi." Meng Yuanlao of the Song Dynasty, "Dongjing Menghualu? Yuzi": "A meeting for a hundred days after giving birth is called "Baishanzi".

Chaoyun gave birth to Su Dongpo's fourth son Su Dun around the Double Ninth Festival. Su Dongpo once wrote a poem about washing his son and complained to himself: "Everyone adopts a son and wants to be smart, but I miss my life for intelligence. I only hope that the child will be foolish and rude, and will be harmless and harmless to the ministers and ministers."

Now there are more than two months before Su Dun's "Baihu" was released. Su Dongpo heard some of the taste from these words. He asked in surprise: "Why, your teacher has contacted you?"

Cheng Laowu's son Cheng Wang was quick-talking, and he interrupted, "The teacher contacted Azhu--Senior a few days ago, he brought a letter to Azhu, saying that he had arrived in Hangzhou and asked Azhu to send the house builders from Quanzhou. Azhu invited the patriarch to come out and sent someone to find the teacher. Well, the teacher brought back a letter yesterday..."

"Who is Ah Zhu?"

"'The pearl of the hand in hand, Cheng Azhu', Master, you don't know the name when you go out every day!... Ah, I know, Master must have never entered the city recently," Cheng Wang rushed to say.

"The pearl in the palm", from this word, we can see the love of Cheng clan for this girl.

Su Dongpo has never been to Huangzhou City recently. Su Dun's birth made him extremely busy. In addition, winter is here and with a comfortable hut, Su Dongpo is unwilling to go out to blow the cold wind. At most, he is watching the snow scene on his roof.

Cheng Xia quickly explained: "Awang was rude and asked his master to atone for his sins... Awang was talking about a woman from my Cheng clan. She has been serving the teacher. My father was planning to get them married in the twelfth lunar month so that he could return to Jiangxia to worship his ancestors together during the Spring Festival."

The names of "Master Master" and "Master Master" are not Song Dynasty words. When Su Dongpo first heard them, he regarded them as slang. Later, he got used to it. According to the child's words just now, "Master Master" is called him, "Master Master", "Master Aunt Master" is called Chaoyun, and "Master Master" is called Mrs. Wang.

"What are your teachers busy in Hangzhou?" Su Shi asked again.

"I know, I know," Cheng Wang still robbed him: "Azhu is illiterate, and I read the letter to her - the letter said: He went to Japan with two Japanese people and did some small business. Recently, Japan was in war, so he went back to Hangzhou, bought a piece of land by the river, and planned to build a 'manor' there. The teacher wrote to ask, is the house in Huangzhou ready to be built? If it is built, I will send him a few of the house builders hired in Quanzhou.

The teacher bought land in Hangzhou, moved to the family, and split up... Azhu couldn't make the decision. The patriarch, that is, Axia's father, said: The teacher wants to buy labor, and my Cheng clan cannot help with such a big deal. I have to let my second uncle lead someone to be a helper. The second uncle just left the day before yesterday..."

I see.

The Cheng clan sent Cheng Lao Er to the place, probably not only as a helper, but also had other meanings - Su Shi had known this kind of trick of a big family for a long time, but he had no intention of asking about it. He had been attracted by Cheng Wang and wanted to go around Huangzhou City to see what kind of "golden house" Zhao Xing built in the city.
