Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

Chapter 1058 Your teeth are so white
"Your teeth are so white," Zhou Banxia smiled and followed his lead, walking forward into the hall in the backyard and then into the washroom from the inner room.

There was an extra door in the washroom. Pushing it open, you could see that it was a recently renovated room. Walking straight through the room, you could still see the outside of the doors and windows.

Outside the doors and windows, right next to the back wall of a row of houses in the backyard, it seems to be connected to this room, but this room is similar in layout to a diagonal wing room.

One word.

long.

After passing through a floor-to-ceiling partition inside the room, walk straight for three or four meters, go around the screen, and then there is another side door. Finally, you have arrived at your destination.
Looking back around, Zhou Banxia couldn't help but chuckle and shake her head, recalling the tea room-like setting she had seen as she passed by, and then looking at the tatami mats and wardrobes around her.

"It's fortunate that this house already existed, otherwise, how could we have built it in the dead of winter? We didn't even have to delay the carpentry work. But what's the purpose of that row of doors?"

It's no wonder his wife said that. Generally speaking, if there's a back room in the backyard, it will be separated from the main house by a courtyard, and even if the courtyard is small, they won't be right next to each other.

Even if it was for the convenience of heating the kang (a traditional heated bed) or to provide hot water for the clean rooms in a timely manner, it was really unnecessary to do this, and to build a room right next to the two side rooms.

When he first came here, he was also puzzled, but after looking around at the interior and seeing that none of the furnishings had been removed or moved, he began to understand.

No wonder they say County Magistrate Huang is quite the womanizer; he probably spent a lot of time indulging in debauchery with his cronies and taking pretty girls out for open-air baths in the valley halfway up the mountain.

Apart from one room that had hot water, the other rooms in that row of houses were somewhat inappropriate for children, and what was most frightening was that there were quite a few aphrodisiac drinks.

The writing on the red paper pasted on the jars of aphrodisiac wine is said to be the handwriting of County Magistrate Huang. Some of the opened jars even have the name of the gift clearly marked on them.

It's likely that one of his cronies felt good about it after drinking it, or perhaps he himself enjoyed it and was afraid of forgetting who gave it to him, so he immediately wrote it down.

"...If you hadn't asked, I wouldn't have wanted to tell you. It's too disgusting and would offend your ears, so I ordered them to completely renovate it."

Now even this side room has been completely renovated. It just so happened that the weather was warm enough to start construction a few days ago, so I had Uncle Changgen pry up all the floor tiles and replace them.”

No wonder it was so clean. Zhou Banxia nodded emphatically before realizing that Gu Wenxuan was reaching out to push the door open, out of sight. "Well done, this money was well spent!"

"Right? If it weren't for a last resort, when would I ever do a losing business? Why would I be a sucker and throw three hundred taels of silver into this? I wouldn't be able to sell many peaches."

"Haha, comparing it to selling peaches is not funny at all." Seeing Gu Wenxuan turn to the side and gesture for her to go first, Zhou Banxia decisively stepped forward.

Oh my god!
Such a big pool?
Surrounded by a dense peach orchard, the peach blossoms on the branches sway gently. When the wind rises, the petals fall one after another, like a dream, with fallen petals painting the spring colors.

Luxurious, too luxurious.

"Don't you want to leave after seeing this?" Gu Wenxuan asked, amused, as she suddenly stopped walking and started looking around. He patted her back.

Zhou Banxia nodded hurriedly, and couldn't help but exclaim, "It's even bigger than the pool at the seven-star resort where we had our honeymoon. It's hard to believe there's such a wonderful place. The water is all mountain spring water flowing in and out; it's living water!"

“Of course, otherwise how long would it take to fetch water?” Gu Wenxuan was very happy that she liked this place. “You mean that hot spring pool, right? This is definitely much bigger than that one. After all, that’s not a swimming pool.”

“That makes sense!” Zhou Banxia looked away and patted his arm. “Great! Just this big pool alone makes this estate a worthwhile purchase. It’s big enough for you to teach your children to swim.”

“That’s for sure. Not just our son, but you too. In the summer, it’s so hot that there’s nowhere to swim. We have to solve this problem first. That’s why I’m going to go for this estate, even though it’s farther away, and give up Jingyuan, which is closer.”

what?
If it weren't for fulfilling a dream, how could one possibly hold onto Gaoyang County?
Well, in short, it's a win-win situation.

Zhou Banxia promptly gave a thumbs-up, "As expected of you!"

"Haha, not bad, look over there."

"White marble, could there be white marble ore on this mountain?" "Unfortunately, there isn't."

Before he could correct Zhou Banxia's mistake in what he knew, Gu Wenxuan continued to pull her toward the right side of the pool built of white marble, explaining as he went.

"I originally had the same idea as you. With so much white marble, I was thinking of using materials that were readily available to build this pool, but unfortunately, that's not the case."

From the very beginning, heavy objects were hauled up from the foot of the mountain. The mountainside where things were first hauled up didn't have the facilities it has now. It was during the tenure of County Magistrate Huang that a lot of iron products were made.

Brother Qian knows this; it's now registered at the county government office. We can use the existing ironware, but if any ironware is lost, we must report it to the county government office immediately.

It mainly concerns ironware, which is strictly controlled. Fortunately, we already had some. We bought it from the government office, which confiscated it and put it on the estate. If it gets lost, we have to register it.

However, if any of the iron pulleys or iron supports used for hauling heavy objects in the village are lost, it is necessary to report the case to the authorities immediately.

Of course, it's impossible to get it back once it's lost, unless it's a very, very small piece of iron. Otherwise, even Senior Brother Qian wouldn't show favoritism.

Zhou Banxia nodded to indicate that she understood.

The normal procedure is that if the document is lost, it cannot be obtained from the county government, but there is still a way by finding a blacksmith, since one's own estate is large.

As long as it's not forging weapons, you can apply to forge agricultural implements made of iron. But wait, "wouldn't an iron winch head and iron bracket be considered agricultural implements made of iron?"

"What do you think?" Gu Wenxuan shook his head, unable to suppress a laugh, and said, "If someone is deliberately trying to make things difficult, let alone whether they can skirt the rules, even if they can, they might not be able to."

Because we initially had the Gao family behind us and also had a partnership with the local powerful Zhao family, the previous county magistrate and county lieutenant didn't utter a single word.

Do you really think they're good people? Otherwise, why wouldn't the master be afraid of you abusing your power? It's just that things are too murky here, and he's afraid of hurting you, that's why he lets you use his name card. "

Thanks for speaking the absolute truth!

It's come full circle.

It's time to take a look.

I touched the water too.

It's still a bit cold, so it's not good to go into the water.

"I really like this place. Let's come back to play in the water when it gets warmer. Shall we go down the mountain first?"

Hearing this, Gu Wenxuan looked up at the sky. Sure enough, the sun was almost high in the sky. He couldn't let his wife go hungry, no matter who he was. "I almost forgot that I was going to take you to a nice place for a picnic."

"Where?"

"Seeing is believing." Gu Wenxuan immediately put an arm around her waist, turned around and left. "You'll know where it is when you get there."

"Bajiao Pavilion?"

"No."

"A second surprise?"

"uh-huh!"
