Back to the end of Ming Dynasty to be a warlord

Chapter 125
It's the last week before it's on the shelves, and the collection is bleak. It will be updated this Wednesday. I hope everyone can help to collect it.

The house of the Yang family has been repaired long ago.

When paying Jiangtou to repair the barracks, Yang Chao asked Jiangtou to help repair the house.

The new house of the Yang family has three courtyards and two courtyards, but it is different from the past. In the past, there were two large courtyards at the front and back, and three tile-roofed houses in the middle. Now there are three rows of large tile-roofed houses. It's small, just two patios.

There are also more rooms than in the past.

In the past, there were three rooms in the middle, surrounded by a courtyard wall.

Now there are three rows of large houses in the front, middle and back, and there are side rooms in the east and west. Unfortunately, the area of ​​the Yang family's house is not large enough. Although the craftsmen spared no expense, only twenty rooms were built.

There are different sizes of rooms, the main house on the front is the largest, the main house in the first two rows has three rooms each, and the main house in the third row has four houses, a total of ten rooms.

The wing rooms on both sides are relatively small. There are three small wing rooms on the east and west sides of the front yard, and two large wing rooms on the east and west sides of the back yard, making a total of ten rooms.

Excluding the main room in the second entrance house and the flower hall in the west wing of the back house, there are only eighteen rooms that can accommodate people.

Therefore, many people in the Jinchai Building can only live in the Meixiang Building. If the yard of the Yang family is as big as the Ruan Family's River House, or if it has two floors, then they should not live in the Meixiang Building.

Now the Yang family only lives with more than 30 little girls, and Chen Yuanyuan and Dong Xiaowan are also among this group of girls.

After the Yang family's house was repaired, no one lived in it, so they didn't dare to hide the two of them here before, it was too eye-catching.

Yang Chao judges others by himself. If he were Tian Wan, he would definitely search for the Yang family's house.

If there is any doubt that there are Tibetans in Jinchailou, Yang Chao's house, one of the owners of Jinchailou, must be searched.

Therefore, he dared to hide the two girls here only when the students started to make trouble. After all, Yang Chao had enough reasons at that time: because the Jinchai Tower was smashed, he had to place the girls in another place, so that The neighbors on the left and right would not be suspicious. At the same time, after the students started arguing, Tian Wan was too busy to take care of himself, so he would no longer notice Chen Yuanyuan and Dong Xiaowan, and Yang Chao was not too afraid of being discovered.

Knocking on the door, a girl came to open the door and saw Yang Chao's face full of joy.

These eleven or twelve-year-old girls are quite courageous. Such a big thing happened in Nanjing City, even the Jinchai Tower was smashed, and they were not afraid at all.

"Father, you're back!"

The girl said a word.

Yang Chao's face was filled with black lines: "Don't call me daddy!"

Many titles in the Ming Dynasty were difficult for Yang Chao to accept. For example, some young servants called their master Daddy.

The same is true in the brothel, the prostitute calls the bustard mother, and if the owner of the brothel is the tortoise, then she calls it daddy.

It was the same in Jinchai Tower, these girls called Kang Hui father, Kang Hui accepted it calmly, but Yang Chao couldn't stand it.

The girl nodded, agreed happily, and then called: "Second father!"

Yang Chao said, "Don't call him Er Dae either."

The girl asked doubtfully, "Third father?"

Yang Chao was speechless: "You can call me son, young master, lord, or elder brother!"

The girl let out an oh: "Master."

She still thinks it's better to be called young master, and it's too alienating to be called young master. With their current identities, they should be regarded as half slaves of the Yang family, because they belong to Jinchailou, and Jinchailou is Yang Chao and Kang Hui. , Wang Xiao opened, so it can only be counted as a small half.

Only then did Yang Chao nod his head, and strode towards the back house.

Seeing Yang Chao going to the back house, the girl who opened the door was a little envious. In her opinion, those girls who can live in the back house are probably taken by the young master and will be taken in as concubines in the future. Those who live in the former house can only be maidservants.

When you arrive at the back house, you have to go through the second hall, but there is no one in the hall, so Yang Chao walks through the hall.

In the backyard patio, there is a girl fetching water.

While repairing the house, Yang Chao asked people to dig a well in the front and back courtyards and lay them with blue stone bricks.

"Father, you're back!"

The girl said the same words again, but her tone was more intimate than that of the girl who opened the door in the front yard, and the tone of the girl in the front yard was more awe-inspiring.

Yang Chao continued to correct it, and finally the girl said: "Master!"

"How are the two girls?"

Yang Chao asked.

There are only four maids in the back house, and they are the smartest and most reliable ones picked by Kang Hui. They stay in the back house to cover up people's eyes and ears, and to take care of Chen Yuanyuan and Dong Xiaowan. After all, there are only two famous prostitutes in the back house. It will not be convenient, and it will be too eye-catching and easy to be exposed. It will be much more convenient and unobtrusive if accompanied by four people.

"The two girls are drinking tea. Does Mr. Yang want to see them?"

the girl asked.

Yang Chao nodded: "Go and report."

The girl agreed, and went to the west room in small steps. The west room was intended to be left to her younger sister Yang Yue, and at this time, it was temporarily lent to two famous prostitutes.

The girl came out quickly: "Master, girls, please come in!"

Yang Chao nodded, the girl led the way and helped push the room open, and Yang Chao walked in.

My sister's house is no longer the wooden cubicle in the past, but an elegant small boudoir, but the furniture inside is still lacking, because Yang Chao has never had time to help with the arrangement.

When Yang Chao entered, he couldn't help being surprised, because the inside had been completely new. Although there were not many large furniture, some small decorations added a lot of elegance to the boudoir.

A piece of paper screen stands in front of the gate, blocking the view and making it impossible to see the situation inside the house.

Flowers and birds are painted on the screen, which is a fine brushwork technique.

Going around the painting screen and going left, you will be faced with two tall and thin square tables with a height of half a person, each with a pot of Jianlan placed on them, like two guards, and a round pier in the middle of the high table.

Two high tables plus a round pier, although simple, there are gaps between them, but it feels like a wall.

Yang Chao was blocked by this 'wall', so he could only turn right again. At this time, he saw the front left, with a gauze curtain in front of a corner, and he could faintly see the big bed behind the gauze curtain, and the front left was behind the painting screen. Two rows of simple bookshelves were placed, with books and a few pieces of porcelain placed on them.

On the left rear, there are two lampstands one person high, on which are placed hexagonal Mingwa lamps, with pictures of ladies on the lamps.

Between the two lamp stands, there is a piece of white marble stone, on which there is a hollowed out bamboo cage. There are cigarettes in the bamboo cage, and it is obvious that there is an incense burner inside.

On the same principle, the two light stands and the central stone create a feeling of a wall, which extends directly to the west wall, horizontally and vertically with the tall Jianlan "wall" on the left side of the painting screen, together with the The west wall and the south wall enclose an independent small space.

In the small space, there is a small coffee table, three hollowed-out small round piers, and a set of exquisite porcelain tea sets on the coffee table.

Yang Chao couldn't help admiring, just these few simple decorations formed a bedroom, a study room and a tea room in this small house, and they were faintly visible to each other, which not only blocked the visual intuition to form a sense of hierarchy, but also did not completely separate them to form a sense of unity .

Yang Chao was convinced that the two famous prostitutes had never studied architecture, and they had completely relied on their extraordinary artistic perception to create the current pattern at will. No wonder the two were named one of the eight beauties of the Qinhuai River, and they were indeed extremely intelligent.

"The little girl has seen Mr. Yang!"

The two women are in their exquisite tea room at this time.

Seeing Yang Chao coming in, he stood up and bowed gracefully.

Yang Chao replied: "The two girls are very interesting."

As he spoke, he looked back and forth at the house.

Chen Yuanyuan apologized, "Don't blame Mr. Yang, my sister has added a little decoration."

Dong Xiaowan said: "It's all about the little girl's fault, it's all about the little girl making her own decisions, it's none of Sister Chen's business."

Yang Chao said with a smile: "Why is it so strange? Thank you for not having enough time. This room is Sister Sister's boudoir. I didn't have time to tidy it up, so I bought a bed. Thanks to the two girls. Sister Sister came back and saw how much it was. I'm happy."

Yang Chao thought to himself, his younger sister Yang Yue must be very satisfied and happy to see how elegant her study is when she comes back.

Dong Xiaowan smiled and said, "Young Master Yang, it's fine if you don't blame him."

Chen Yuanyuan said: "Dare to ask Mr. Yang, how is the situation outside?"

Yang Chao said: "Why don't you invite me in for a drink? Just worry about the outside."

Chen Yuanyuan smiled slightly, bent his knees and said, "Young Master Yang is laughing, the little girl is rude. Dare to ask you to move."

Only then did Yang Chao walk in from the side of the stone.

Dong Xiaowan asked Yang Chao to sit down. There are three hollow mahogany round piers here. I don't know if he prepared one for Yang Chao.

Yang Chao sat down on the third round pier honestly and bluntly.

But there are only two teacups in front of him.

The two girls were embarrassed when they saw it.
