The mother-in-law hurriedly responded, and after another round of twists and turns, it suddenly opened up in front of her, and she saw a lotus pond with thousands of leaves, which was more than two or three times larger than the pond in Rongyintang's house. The lotus leaves stretched all over the sky. With sparkling waves, several painted boats parked leisurely by the pool, it is refreshing to watch.

The main building, named Kanshan Building, was built along the water, covering a very large area, up to three stories high, with carved beams and painted buildings.There were two rows of servants standing at the door, and when they saw the family members of the Lord's family coming, they were led by a steward, and they all bowed.

Ming Yu entered the inner hall, and saw that the inside was still as grand and magnificent as he had imagined, and the furnishings were extremely magnificent and luxurious. In the middle was the treasured chair made of nanmu and rosewood inlaid with jewels, which was very eye-catching.Looking at the chair, Ming Yu felt a little emotional, because this chair was also involved in the subsequent lawsuit.The reason is that someone impeached him. Emperor Dao Zhengde came to the Guanshan Tower of Yiyuan and sat on this chair, which is the throne.Ruan Hongtian paid homage to him without respect, but continued to use his big seat to entertain guests here, which is really a crime.There is no crime in the chair, the crime is that it is too extravagant to attract people's attention.

The steward's surname is Chen, a distant relative of Jiang's family. Seeing Jiang's looking around, he also expressed some admiration, so he flattered and showed off: "My wife also knows that Jiangzhou has been blessed with good weather and beautiful rice and fish for thousands of years. There are many rich and powerful houses with such mansions and gardens, no matter how good other houses are, they can’t beat this Wangshan Tower, but there are two wonderful things about this place.”

Jiang shi let out an oh.Chen Guanshi then said: "My wife doesn't know, but the master spent a lot of money to hire skilled craftsmen to create the two wonderful features in this building. One is the cold incense fan, and the other is the dragon spit beads."

Jiang Shi was aroused by his words, and said with a smile: "Speak up when you have something to say, the most hateful thing is to swallow half and spit out half."

Chen Guanshi then smiled and pointed to the red sandalwood walls carved with figures and landscapes on both sides, and said, "Madam, does this look strange?" Seeing Jiang shaking his head, he said proudly, "You can't see it from the outside, but there is a clip on the inside. There are many fragrant flowers and spices piled up in the room, and five large fans are installed on the top, so that people can turn the axles in the room, and the fragrant wind will come out from the hollows. It will be the day of the old lady's birthday next month, and it will be hot , and then added ice cubes stored in the cellar, the wind will come out like a cold and fragrant wind."

Everyone was amazed, Jiang shook his head and said with a smile: "It took a lot of thought. What is the dragon spit bead?"

"Ladies and gentlemen, you will know later."

Chen Guanshi hurried out, and after a while, he saw raindrops splashing outside the window suddenly, and the heat suddenly disappeared.Everyone was amazed and amazed, and gathered around to see what happened.Seeing Jiang's turn around and beckoning to him, Ming Yu also went over.I saw a row of stone chinchillas around the Guanshan Tower on the surface of the pool outside, spraying water from their mouths around the house with their heads raised.

This is really unprecedented, Mo Mingpei and those maids, and even Jiang's face was full of surprise. After watching for a while, he asked: "How is this made?"

Chen Guanshi said: "There is a manpower-operated pressurized water row under each of the stone chinchillas. Just now when the young ones go out, they are ordered to start. If you stop your hands, the water column will disappear." He shouted loudly, but he didn't know Where are those manipulators? Sure enough, seeing that the water column that was still spewing just now slowly stopped, there were only a few ripples left on the water surface.

"It's really difficult to think of such an exquisite mechanism."

Jiang praised it.

"The person who made this mechanism is named Gu Xuan. He is young, but his family has been skilled craftsmen for generations. In the past, his father accidentally got into a lawsuit, and the master helped him. He racked his brains to make this mechanism to repay the master. Now In the whole world, I am afraid that only this Yiyuan Garden has such a wonderful scene.”

Jiang Shi nodded and smiled, Mingzhu and the girls and women behind her mostly also had expressions on their faces, but Mingyu's mood was a little more serious.

The old lady will have a big birthday next month, and according to her father's personality, she must show it in front of others.In addition, if there is no accident next year, Emperor Zhengde will also stop here when he tours the south of the Yangtze River.Such a wonderful scene that even the royal family does not have, I am afraid it is not a blessing, but a disaster.

Everyone enjoyed themselves, and Jiang returned to Rongyin Hall with his two daughters.Ruan Hongtian was still entertaining outside, her mother and the others had dinner by themselves, and talked for a while about what they saw during the day, and then went back to their rooms.

In the blink of an eye, seven or eight days passed, and the old lady's birthday was approaching.Ruan Hongtian and the stewards in Rongyin Hall were so busy that they never touched the ground.Two months ago, the Jiang family sent out invitations to the female relatives of various families in Jiangzhou City who had contacts on a daily basis. Now that the day is approaching, they counted it several times and saw that there were no omissions, so they were relieved.Those female relatives who are close to each other or are in the main officials' mansions in the city, according to the etiquette, now pay a visit to show their sincerity, so these days are also very busy, and sometimes they will bring Mingyu to go there.

Parents were as busy as a spinning top, and when Ming Yu didn't go out with Jiang, nothing happened.She just asked Ming Pei to read a book for an hour together in the morning, and did some sewing in the afternoon, so the days passed quickly.It's just that I haven't been able to think of a good way, and I can't use the words "today's birthday feast, tomorrow's disaster" to persuade her, otherwise my father will not only not listen, but will blame her for talking nonsense.

Ming Yu was a little discouraged, and her confidence was also hit.It turns out that even if you know what is going to happen, some things cannot be avoided just by your own ability.After two days of depression in my heart, I gradually thought about it, because I was too impatient, so take my time.The birthday banquet was indeed too hasty for her now.It would be best if there was a chance to reverse it, if it is impossible to change, then try to plan for the future as much as possible, fortunately she still has ten years.

Jiang Shi has been busy these days, so naturally he didn't pay much attention to Ming Yu's emotions.A few days later, there was a small accident in Rongyin Hall.It turns out that the old lady is not from Nandi, but married from the former capital.For a while, my mouth was light, and I suddenly remembered the Beidi Youdun meatballs I had eaten when I was young.The kitchen is naturally made with heart.The old lady ate a few too many, and that night she slept with the doors and windows open for the cold, and accidentally blew the wind, so she couldn't get up early the next morning.

The old lady has always been healthy and healthy, but the more healthy and healthy people are, the more severe the illness is, let alone getting older?So Ruan Hongtian and Jiang Shi were startled when Dongmei knocked on the door early this morning, saying that the old lady was vomiting and diarrhea. , hurried to Suixi Garden.

The doctor invited here is surnamed Li. His family has practiced medicine for generations, and his ancestors also worked in the Imperial Hospital. He is very famous in Jiangzhou. If a wealthy family has a headache, he will definitely be invited to treat him.After Ming Yu fell into the water a while ago, he was also the one who saw it.Although Li Langzhong's skills are high, his medical ethics are mediocre.There are a lot of rich people in Jiangzhou, and they gradually developed the habit of only going to rich and noble families and ignoring the poor.Hearing that the old lady of Rongyin Hall was unwell today, she was overjoyed, knowing that she had made a fortune again, she hurriedly asked the boy in the hospital to carry the medicine box for him and boarded the Ruan family's carriage.When I saw the old lady, Wang Wenwen cut it off and said to Ruan Hongtian: "The old lady has eaten greasy food, and the heat has invaded her body. It's not a major symptom at all, but her body is usually rich and she is a little vain. , you need to have a good rest, and take care of yourself is the right thing to do."

Ruan Hongtian was speechless when he heard the words: "In a few days it will be the old lady's birthday, this..."

Li Langzhong coughed and said with a smile, "Master, don't be anxious. I know that the old lady's birthday is on the fifteenth day of this month, and today is the fourth day. According to my prescription, the old lady stops and stops before I keep the birthday banquet. It will definitely not miss a major event."

Only then did Ruan Hongtian feel relieved and told him to just prescribe the medicine.

Li Lang was caught in the middle of his arms, and slowly picked up the pen to write the prescription.In fact, if he had followed his normal prescription, it would have taken a few days for Mrs. Ruan to stay in bed for such an ordinary illness.He also prescribed a three-day prescription, but he reduced the prescription by half of the main ingredients, and kept the rest of the auxiliary ingredients as usual.In this way, after taking the medicine, his body has improved, but he is not yet fully recovered. Then the Ruan family will be worried and will definitely invite him again.At that time, he will prescribe a few more stickers, the medicine will cure the disease, it will not waste time, and he will be able to charge a lot of money for two consultations, why not do it?
Ruan Hongtian ordered the steward to seal Houyin as a thank you.Li Langzhong pretended to decline, and left satisfied.

The early morning troubles in Suixi Garden naturally recruited all the Mingyu sisters. Mingyu stood there, slightly dazed.

Although she got a new life, it was ten years after all. Except for some impressive or bigger things in the past, it is impossible to remember all the ordinary things one by one.Although the old lady's illness has made the whole family restless now, but after thinking about it carefully, it seems that it is exactly as Langzhong Li said, and she was recuperated after a few days, and it did not affect her birthday ten days later. I didn't think of it for a while.
