Chapter 487 487 Ancestral Hall(1/2)
Based on Zhan Zhao’s understanding of You Lian, he felt that Ye Wangyou might be a little more like He Wanfeng.
Based on Zhao Pu's understanding of He Yihang, he felt that Ye Wangyou might be a little more like You Lian.
Bai Yutang felt that rather than saying that this person was elusive, it was better to say that the two houses and the stone sculpture were extraordinary.
From Zhao Zhen's perspective, things may be simpler.
Yuanqi Tower, this house, is an ancient building belonging to the previous dynasty. No one knows what purpose it was built for at that time, but it may have been used later to deal with the Duke of the Seven Kingdoms...
But Zhao Zhen felt that there seemed to be something missing here.
Because these two houses are too high-end, and the one owned by the Seven Kingdoms Duke is too ordinary... To put it simply, to catch a few thieves, Uncle Jiu doesn’t need to send out troops! To deal with the Seven Kingdoms Dukes, let alone remove them from the imperial city
Drive them away. Even if you kill them all, there is no need to use such a complicated plan. There is also the Curse of the Evil Spirit and two sets of government buildings... Are those two hundred and fifty worthy?
After dinner, everyone followed Wangyou to the ancestral hall to see the "Yangui".
After passing through the long corridor, and walking through two gardens, we came to this slightly mysterious "ancestral hall".
When they first saw this ancestral hall, everyone thought of only three words - old house.
Indeed, this house looks quite old, probably because the surrounding houses are all newly built, so in comparison, although the architectural style of this ancestral hall is very uniform, it looks very old.
But this is an old, but very "beautiful" house.
The entire house is made of masonry, without any carvings or decorations. The doors, windows, and exterior walls are all made of overlapping stone bricks. The gaps between the bricks and stones form a very natural water wave texture. The gaps are filled with vines.
The fine green leaves and white flowers slowly spread out with the ripples of the water. At a glance, it is like looking at the sparkling water under the moonlight.
Everyone was struck by the "beauty" of this scene, staring at this "ancestral hall" intently, admiring in their hearts - not to mention the craftsmanship, the aesthetics alone are not at the level of ordinary people.
After admiring it for a while, everyone subconsciously looked back and forgot about their worries.
Ye Wangyou smiled slightly, put his hands in his sleeves, and raised his face as if to show off, "Doesn't it look good? None of the craftsmen I invited to repair the house dared to touch this house, and many of them couldn't even read.
Brick movers, when they are tired from work, will sit at the door of the ancestral hall and rest while looking at the house. Also, do you know that in the dead of night, when people are quiet, the evening wind blows through the gaps between the bricks and stones, which emits light?
The sound of the waves is not the waves of the sea, but the trickle. When it rains, no matter how hard it rains, there is no sound of wind and rain in the ancestral hall. Heavy rain and strong wind will be blown along the gaps between the bricks and stones.
Divert and slip away quietly."
Everyone thought it was amazing, and the fourth son also said - it's a bit amazing!
The Fifth Master came closer and carefully observed the gaps between the bricks and stones. He always felt that the color scheme and the wavy lines of the water were the same as Yuanqi Tower. This house and Yuanqi Tower should have been built by the same person.
, such exquisite craftsmanship... definitely not something ordinary people can do!
Zhao Pu asked Zhan Zhao, "Where are the old men in your Demon Palace who are proficient in construction? Do you know anyone who built this building? I feel like they are about the right age."
Gongsun also nodded - let Mr. Lu Shanhan come and take a look?
Zhan Zhao also felt that it was possible, so he would ask his grandfather first before going back.
"Would you like to go in and take a look?" Yewangyou opened the door of the ancestral hall without waiting for anyone to answer.
There are no lights in the ancestral hall, but it is very bright because it is open to the door.
The moment the door opened, everyone was stunned for a moment.
There is a stone altar table in the middle of the ancestral hall, and there is a space for people to worship in front.
Not far behind is a wall. The upper part of the wall is empty and has no windows. It faces directly outside. You can see part of the night view of Kaifeng City and a full moon in the horizon.
Everyone's first reaction was - is the window broken? There was not even a window frame on the half-empty wall, and there seemed to be only a window sill. There were also two potted June Snow potted plants on it, which were in perfect bloom.
Everyone looked at it with some confusion - was this deliberately designed to be like this? Wouldn't wind, frost, rain and snow drift in through the windows?
Seemingly understanding everyone's doubts, Wangyou walked to the window and stood there, looking at the scenery below the mountain. He smiled and said, "Wind or rain doesn't come in. I have lived here for so many years. No matter how hard the wind and rain are, a leaf of June snow will remain there."
None of them have blown down.”
"Is that why you put the potted plants here?" Master Wu asked.
Ye Wangyou nodded, "Because I always think it's magical. My wife likes to adjust the angle of the potted plants when she has nothing to do, hoping to find a place where the wind can blow, but she has never succeeded."
"Do you also like this house very much, Madam?" Zhao Zhen asked suddenly.
Ye Wangyou smiled and said, "She likes coming here very much, but she doesn't like living here."
"Why?" Nangong was a little confused. This house was full of flowers...
"Although this house is not small, there are actually very few servants who can live in it." Ye Wangyou looked at the full moon in the sky, "Caiqin said, it is elegant for a person to only plant a few pots of flowers; to plant many flowers, it is elegant.
It's fun; planting countless flowers... it's loneliness. Unless the original owner of this house hired hundreds of gardeners to take care of these flowers, otherwise, this person may be the most boring and lonely person in the world."
Everyone looked at it and forgot about it - how do you take care of so many flowers?
Ye Wangyou spread his hands and said, "I hire a large number of gardeners all year round to take care of these flowers. In recent years, there have been particularly many people working as gardeners in Kaifeng Prefecture."
Everyone nodded, thinking of the army of gardeners employed by the White House all year round. Especially after the Bailing Garden was built, it was said that the number of gardeners in Kaifeng City had doubled...
Come to think of it, everyone is looking at Bai Yutang—Mrs. Caiqin scolded you for being a waste!
Fifth Master still feels that it is quite unfair - I am clearly a person of elegance and fun!
After admiring this unique ancestral hall, everyone went to the altar table and looked at the things on the table.
The altar table is divided into two layers, two on the upper side and three on the lower side. There are a total of five urns and five tablets.
The ashes jar is a very ordinary brown porcelain jar with a pure white seal on it, without any words, and the seals are all intact. The tablet is the most common type of red painted tablet, with no words on it.
There is nothing else on the altar table.
Gongsun stared at the ashes jar, wanting to open the lid and take a look! The Ninth Prince tried his best to hold down his hand...
The fourth son turned around in a circle and ran to the altar table, looking up at the urn. Apparently the father and son had the same idea. The fourth son was just too short to reach it, otherwise he might have reached out to open the lid.
Gongsun even made eye contact with him - try standing on tiptoes?
The fourth boy tried his best to tiptoe, but it was of no use.
Gongsun looked at his son and shook his head.
The fourth son was angry - his father actually laughed at him for being short!
Gongsun was shaking his head to tease his son. The fourth son stretched out his hand, squeezed Gongsun's arm, and then imitated his father and shook his head again and again.
Gongsun narrowed his eyes - his son actually laughed at him for being thin!
The father and son stood there making faces at each other like a pair of bowls and chopsticks. Zhao Pu shook his head at the side - look at these two fathers, they have different body shapes but are equally cute...
After staring for a while, Zhao Pu felt that the description of a pair of bowls and chopsticks was not very accurate. It should be a teacup and a pair of chopsticks...
"Speaking of which..." Zhan Zhao asked Ye Wangyou, "Where is the erotic ghost?"
Ye Wangyou looked at the direction of the altar table, then at the moon, and signaled, "We have to wait a little longer."
Everyone was even more puzzled - is there still a little bit of it?
Zhao Zhen put his hands behind his back and stood by the window to enjoy the night view. He found that the angle of view was different. Compared with the study room, the scenery here was particularly better. It faced the large area of Bailing Garden. The lights in Bailing Garden were bright at the moment.
, many adults and children were walking into the garden. It must have been that the news of the arrival of the little bamboo bear spread, and everyone went to see the bamboo bear.
Zhao Zhen nodded, saying that Bai Yutang is really not a waste of money, he is a good man who loves to spend money! How could the children of the Imperial City look at the little bamboo bear without him?
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were also discussing that the view from the window was super good, and they could also see the Meow Meow Tower. The white mass on the roof of the building was fluttering its wings, wasn't it Yaoyao?
Zhan Zhao waved to Yaoyao to see if he could summon him.
Wu Ye estimated that Yaoyao couldn't see. After years of observation, Bai Yutang discovered that the eyesight of the sea dragon lizard was actually average. In comparison, the eyesight in the water was obviously better than on land, but the sense of hearing and smell were particularly strong.
Especially hearing.
Fifth Master thought for a while and whistled into the distance.
If Bai Yutang wanted to call Yaoyao from far away, he would whistle like this with some inner force... Even if he was half a city away, Yaoyao would come to him.
Sure enough, Yaoyao must have heard the sound, and saw the sea dragon lizard that had been sitting stand up, spread its wings and flutter around on the roof of Meow Meow Tower.
Zhan Zhao waved to it, but Yaoyao kept circling the roof.
Bai Yutang also frowned slightly. Didn't he recognize the direction of the sound? He whistled again.
At this time, Yaoyao was seen flying up, but he was circling in the sky above Kaifeng Mansion, looking very confused. He flew back to the left, and turned back to the right, flapping his wings in the air.
Seeing Yaoyao looking around, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other - strange!
At this time, a figure appeared on the roof of Miaomiao Tower. Judging from the outline of the figure, it should be Yin Hou.
Yin Hou was probably in the yard and saw Yaoyao circling in the sky, so he came up to see what was going on.
He stretched out his hand to call the anxious Yaoyao back, and Yin Hou touched the sea dragon lizard's big head while looking around.
Because they were quite far apart, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang could only tell the direction the old man was looking from the outline of Yin Hou...
Zhan Zhao also whistled into the distance.
Yin Hou turned sideways slightly, but did not look in the direction of Zhan Zhao and the others. Zhan Zhao tried his best to wave to Yin Hou, but he did not see them.
"Weird..." Bai Yutang also noticed something was wrong. Yaoyao couldn't tell the difference probably because it was a stupid dragon, but with Yin Hou's level of internal strength, it was impossible that he couldn't tell the direction of the sound.
At this time, a white figure also went up to the roof, it was Tianzun.
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang whistled to the two elders together. The two elders actually looked in different directions, one pointed to the left and the other to the right.
To be continued...
