Chapter 57: Wangjiashan
The welcome luncheon was held at the palace of the king of Zhouqiao.
The luxury carriage crossed the state bridge, and Zhao Hao saw a brand-new five-wing archway, with four big characters on it: 'Brother Bangyan'!
Now he is also knowledgeable, and he can recognize it at a glance as Wang Shizhen's handwriting.
Passing through this archway, there is another one behind, on the book 'Hui Yuan Bang Eye'.
The former archway is blown by Wang Xijue Wang Dingjue in the double list, and the latter is the awesome deeds of Wang Xijue first in the Yuan and then in the list.
Of course, it's also worth bragging, after all, it's a story that is still being talked about hundreds of years later.
Such a torii, a family has one, thank God. Wang Mengxiang, who was in the same car with him, was still unfinished:
"Good things come in pairs, and it should be content, but three lives and all things, I always feel that there must be three arches to be complete."
is still three lives and three lives, Zhao Hao complained in his heart.
However, in another 30 years, Wang Xijue's son Wang Heng will stage a good show of father and son.
Thinking of the future, after the two archways, there will be a 'father and son list eye' archway, Zhao Hao can't help but sigh, the old Wang family really has a list of eyes.
However, it is estimated that the old king should regret that there is no champion in the family.
People will never be content anyway......
~~
The carriage drove directly into the five-room, magnificent two-story gate building of the Wang family, and stopped at the super-large car hall that could accommodate five cars at the same time.
Tsing Yi felt hat, depicting a capable servant who opens the car door, sets up his pedals, and helps the master and distinguished guests to get out of the car.
Then Wang Mengxiang led Zhao Hao and others along the long corridor of heavy eaves to the mountain hall where the banquet was held.
Along the way, Zhao Hao found that on those ordinary corridors, the shapes and styles of all the flower windows were completely different.
Looking into the garden through the holes and windows that are square or round or fan-shaped, or swastikas, begonias, and crests, I can only see a step and a scene outside the window, and each window is just a wonderful landscape painting.
Zhao Hao knew that the arrogance of the Wang family was no longer in the skin, but hidden in the bones. completely washed away the face of the nouveau riche, and also cultivated the meaning of the family.
Otherwise, I'm afraid that no matter how rich he is, Wang Shizhen won't join them, right?
Zhao Hao couldn't help but wake up secretly, and he had to restrain himself in the future, and he didn't want to put the words 'this son is rich' on his face.
Although the Ming Dynasty worshiped money like 400 years later, the aesthetics and style of the society have not been broken.
The nouveau riche has a thousand-year-old family like the Langya Wang family that can be emulated, and the aesthetics will not deviate, let alone be beautiful with glittering and flashy piles.
After learning for a long time, the upstart can gradually have connotation and become a new family.
~~
The mountain hall where the banquet is set up is five rooms wide, and the eaves are one and a half zhang high, which has a rare atmosphere and spaciousness in Jiangnan architecture.
Sitting in the hall and looking out, there is no common lotus pond pavilion outside, but a super large rockery with a height of more than two zhang and a circumference of more than ten zhang.
The green grass on it, the flowers, the murmuring water, and the chirping of birds are no different from a real mountain.
"Uh, okay, take back my words......" Zhao Gongzi secretly slapped his face, "The urge to show off wealth is really human instinct, and you can't quit at any time." ’
Seeing that Zhao Hao's eyes were straight, Wang Mengxiang was not good at bragging in person.
"You still have a Yufeng Mountain in Kunshan, and our Taicang really doesn't have a mountain." Wang Shimao, who was sitting on the side, introduced with a smile:
"My uncle's grandfather, Xinjiang Gong, made a vow to build the soil of the Quartet, move the stones of Taihu Lake, and build a mountain for me Taicang to control feng shui."
Zhao Haoxin said, this kind of thing doesn't seem to be very auspicious. It's like Gen Yue......
However, after the construction of this mountain, the old Wang family seems to be getting more and more prosperous.
Forget it, I don't want to think about unscientific things.
He exclaimed: "Seeing the mountain hall, the name is well deserved......"
"Hahaha." Wang Mengxiang laughed happily: "It's far worse than the virtuous nephew, I heard Mr. Wenshan say that you are opening a pond and building a platform on a real mountain in Jinling, and you want to build the largest private garden in the world." ”
Wen Zhengming's sons made a living by designing courtyards for the rich, appraising antiques, and helping leisure guests, and wandered among the rich people of Susong. Naturally, the Wang family is also a frequent visitor.
"Mr. Wenshan is too exaggerated, no matter how big that Xiaocang Mountain is, it is also a barren mountain and a wild mountain, what kind of garden can it be." Zhao Hao smiled modestly.
"Why should the Doctor be humble? This Ming Dynasty is now unknown to anyone, your eyes are like torches, and you can see ordinary people can't see it. A pair of wonderful hands can turn stones into gold. Wang Shimao also smiled and agreed:
"In the future, when the garden is completed, we must be allowed to come to the door to congratulate and see the beautiful scenery of the world."
"Yes, when the time comes, you have to be cheeky, stay for a few days, and come back to brag to others." Wang Mengxiang laughed.
The people who accompanied the guests in the hall also praised Zhao Haolai, and with Zhao Gongzi's face, they were a little embarrassed.
~~
When the handsome maid served the wine and food, Wang Mengxiang personally held the pot and wanted to pour wine for Zhao Hao.
"I can't help it!" The three apprentices stood up and shouted, "The family teacher is still a minor!" ”
"My master can just drink the juice." Hua Shuyang poured freshly squeezed bayberry juice for Zhao Hao.
Zhao Hao hurriedly smiled apologetically: "Uncle, I'm sorry, my father's discipline is too strict, and I don't dare to drink before the ban is opened." ”
"Oh, haha, Zhao Zhuangyuan is too strict...... Wang Mengxiang laughed when he heard this: "It doesn't matter what you drink, the feelings are the same." ”
Then he poured wine for himself and Wang Shimao, got up with the wine, and led the crowd to welcome Zhao Hao's arrival.
After drinking it all, the maid poured a second glass of wine for the old lady, Wang Mengxiang picked it up, and said with gratitude to Zhao Hao:
"The dog has hit the list again this time, thanks to Dr. Zhao's careful teaching. Seeing his eldest brother's letter, saying that the kid eats and lives at the doctor's house, it really bothers the doctor. ”
Saying that, Old Man Wang drank it all with Zhao Hao again, took his hand and said sincerely: "I really don't know how to thank the doctor." The gold and silver jewelry is too cheesy, and the antique calligraphy and painting are not to be liked by the doctor. ”
Zhao Hao was deeply relieved when he heard this, it seems that Jin Yang has already told his father that he doesn't like antiques with poor realizability.
As for gold, silver and jewelry, although there is no shortage of this son. But that love is eternal......
"It just so happened that Ling Zun first arrived in Kunshan, and your county was flooded again, why don't you donate a little food to relieve Zhao Zhuangyuan's worries?" I heard Wang Mengxiang say sincerely.
"My family, Wuyang and Shuyang, first studied with a doctorate, and now they are both high school talents. Although the Han family's financial resources are far inferior to their uncle's family, their intentions are the same. Let's do our best to donate a little to your county. ”
"This ......" Although Zhao Hao knew that things were not so simple, he still felt very useful.
The other party knew why he was here, but instead of avoiding it, he took the initiative to donate food as soon as he came up. In addition to letting him eat and drink with ease, it also gave Zhao Gongzi enough face.
"Then it's disrespectful, thank you for your high righteousness on behalf of Kunshan's father." Zhao Hao hurriedly got up and solemnly looked at the two of them deeply.
"Hey, you're welcome, Doctor." Wang Mengxiang hurriedly supported him, and said with a sincere smile on his face: "We are like a family, why do we share each other?" ”
"Thank you, thank you." Zhao Hao thanked again.
