Chapter 52: House No. 1!
"With such a lot of effort, such a big Dao Zheng Fang, won't it all be connected to Xuanwu Lake?" Fang Yiai asked. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"yes." Xuan Shijing confirmed: "Although it is a little troublesome, it will be very convenient in the future, do you think it is worth it?" ”
Fang Yiai turned his head and stopped talking.
The house is still empty, and the windows are not fitted up, and these windows will have to wait a little longer, because some new kilns have been built next to the cement kiln to make glass.
If you want high-purity and high-transparency glass, you can't make it with the current process and technology, but as long as you make ordinary glass for windows, you can still barely burn it.
Isn't it just sand, yes.
Walking into the interior of the house, the eyes are white, the walls are plastered with white lime powder, flat and neat, obviously the craftsmen have also carefully polished the wall.
"The white ones on the walls are all white ash, which looks good and is moisture-proof." Xuan Shijing explained: "The first floor is generally a hall, and the single room separated from there can be used by yourself in the future, and the kitchen can be placed in the house, of course, it can also be placed in the outer courtyard to build a new room."
There are two rows of bungalows behind the big courtyard outside, which are wings for the servants at home, and these servants can't also live in the house and be with the master, which Xuan Shijing is very clear about, it's okay to be different, but not too much.
The large yard in front is beautifully tidyed, and as for the rest, just put it in the backyard.
Xuan Shijing led the two to the staircase and walked up the stairs.
"The second floor is generally a room for entertaining guests, as well as rest, entertainment or whatever, all of which can be on the second floor."
There is nothing to see on the second floor, basically it is a large and small room, but whether it is the first floor, the second floor, or the third floor, there is an inconspicuous room in the corner, where it is a thatched house, and the thick bamboos are connected together and connected all the way to the sewer, and the outside is wrapped in bricks and stones, and the rooms are full of toilets, and after use, rinse them with clean water, and those dirt will flow down the pipes into the special sewers. This sewer is not connected to Xuanwu Lake, but directly dug outside the city, and a special such pit was dug outside the eastern city.
The third floor is the master's bedroom and study, the overall layout is similar, a corridor in the middle, unilateral or bilateral rooms.
Marshal Zhao's house is in the upper middle of the Daozheng Workshop, so the area is not too small.
"It's completely different from the house we live in now." Marshal Zhao said with emotion.
The three of them went to a bedroom on the third floor and stood in front of a large floor-to-ceiling window.
"If you look out, you can still see Xuanwu Lake." Xuan Shijing said.
It is true to be able to see Xuanwu Lake, but the field of vision is limited, which is also a little benefit of the house with a better location, from the fifteenth house onwards, there is no such treatment.
"It reminds me of the room you had in the Xuanwu Tower." Fang Yiai also said: "It's indeed a good place, the marshal's mansion is like this, why don't you go to the princess's mansion you prepared for Princess Jinyang?" ”
"Cheng, there should be more perfect ones there than here, just wait for me to come back and adjust the layout." Xuan Shijing said, "Let's go." ”
Walking on the concrete-plastered avenue in the Daozheng Square, although it is not far from the No. 12 house to the No. 1 house, it is still a long distance to walk.
Xuan Shijing was thinking, the road surface in the Daozheng Square is so smooth, why don't you get a four-wheeled carriage out?
After walking for a while, the three of them arrived at the gate of the No. 1 mansion, the gate of the No. 1 house is different from the gate of the house they saw on the road before, it is more than twice as big, and the gate of the No. 1 mansion is a big iron gate!
Although it is troublesome to build, it doesn't mean that it can't be built, right, it's very simple bearings and connections, some old blacksmiths can be built for a while, and in the future, this will be used as Jinyang's princess mansion outside the palace, and Xuan Shijing will naturally not be sloppy.
Just this big iron gate costs a lot of money.
"Drink! It's too extravagant, you said that this political workshop, where did you get so much iron, and when you were seen by the imperial history, you can't be impeached? Fang Yiai asked.
"Imperial impeachment? Rest assured, there is the eldest grandson Wuji on top. Xuan Shijing said with a smile.
"Eldest grandson Wuji, the relationship between the two of you is already like that, and you are still counting on him....." Speaking of it, Fang Yiai seemed to remember something.
The eldest grandson's family is in charge of the iron aspect, and the eldest grandson's family is also in business, and when the Daozheng Workshop began to start, the two families had not yet made such a fuss, as long as the money was secretly piled up, and gifts or something, they could definitely get it.
The door of the No. 1 house was locked, and Xuan Shijing took out the key from his arms, opened the chain, pushed the door open, and walked in.
Fang Yiai and Marshal Zhao also followed behind Xuan Shijing.
House No. 1 is obviously much larger than the others, and the main house is also a four-story building, one level higher than all the houses in Daozheng Fang, and there is a pavilion on the roof.
The front yard is also surprisingly large, and the general layout is the same as that of most houses, with pools, waterwheels, and several stone sculptures of ladies around the pool.
The gaps in the cobblestones between the lawns were filled with concrete, and there was a concrete path from the gate to the front of the house, wide enough to walk a horse-drawn carriage, and it seemed that it was also for the convenience of the owner's family, and he could get into the carriage from the main house without having to go to the door.
Trees are planted around the courtyard wall, and there are large rectangular flower beds on both sides in front of the main house, and the flowers have been transplanted into them, but they have not yet opened.
The exterior walls of the main house are still white except for the windows, and the part that reaches the roof has been replaced with bluestone, on which there are special craftsmen to make reliefs, which looks very exquisite.
Walking along the cobblestone path to the door of the main house, Hyun Se-kyung took out the key again and opened the door of the main house.
The main house also occupies a large area, with a living room reserved by Xuan Shijing in the middle, and a huge staircase in the middle leading to the second and third floors.
The left hand side is to make a small kitchen, not to really cook in it, but to receive guests on weekdays with high-point tea, to be stored in the small kitchen, when the time comes directly by the maid to pick up and serve, the left side is ready to be made into a place to eat, and the right side is used for hospitality.
Above the second floor is a huge butter chandelier extended from the iron chain, and the top is equipped with a roller skating group, if you want to light this butter chandelier, you need to lower the iron chain, and the servants below light it and then pull it up and fix it, and the fixed position is placed on the second floor.
