Chapter 46: Pastry Appointment
Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were not new to the world, but they saw that the main buildings such as halls used both bucket-type and beam-lifting beam structures, with exquisitely carved beam eaves components and gorgeous and changeable porch hangings. It enhances the sense of depth and gives people a bright, transparent and deep feeling against the backdrop of the garden.
They passed through the door, passed through the patio, or walked along the verandah. Finally, Shang Xiuxun led them to an viewing hall and said, "You guys must be tired from traveling, so you should rest here for a while."
Immediately a maid came up and brought cakes and tea.
Xu Ziling sat down obediently, while Kou Zhong looked around and saw a building on the other side of the garden outside the west window. Looking through the window, it turned out to be a study.
The interior is decorated with mahogany furniture, the Four Treasures of the Study are placed on the table, and the cabinet shelves against the wall are full of antiques. Under the illumination of the palace lanterns, there is a couplet hanging on one wall, which reads: "There is fun in the five ethics; the Six Classics There are no other articles.” But no one was seen.
Song Yuzhi also saw this couplet and couldn't help but smile: "I didn't expect that the owner of the venue was actually an elegant man with both civil and military skills." She looked around with an expression of admiration, "Winter plum, banana, wisteria, osmanthus, surrounded by so many flowers. The gardens here are among the top three that Yuzhi has ever seen. "
Shang Xiuxun waved his hand, "It's just Master Yuanzi's design and has nothing to do with me."
Such a willful answer made Fang Lang feel very cute. He placed it on her plump lips, carefully used her neat white teeth that contrasted well with her skin color to gently bite a corner, and tasted it carefully.
Then her pretty face showed dissatisfaction and sadness. She put down the unfinished cake and became silent.
Song Yuzhi observed this carefully and couldn't help asking in detail. Shang Xiuxun didn't feel it was inconvenient to tell her, so he made it clear that she was depressed recently because of the pastries.
Shuanglong secretly muttered that this young man is indeed a mother-in-law, so pretentious when she breaks the pastry.
Next to him, Fang Lang had already asked Shuangyong to use his pastry skills in exchange for the good weapons of their Pegasus Ranch.
Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling looked at each other in astonishment, then looked at Fang Lang in confusion, and then reluctantly bowed their hands and agreed to the matter.
After the incident at Wenwen, they have become more wary and avoidant of beautiful women.
After playing in the ranch for a long time, it was getting late. Shang Xiuxun ordered someone to clean up the guest room and led them to rest. Song Yuzhi looked around and whispered: "I think there are definitely more than 100 people who came to their Pegasus Ranch." At least someone from us has already handed over the notice."
"When Yang Guang dies, the world is in chaos, and there are countless forces that support their own troops." Fang Lang simply summarized this, and then said: "Can you guess who will come?"
Song Yuzhi was lost in thought for a while, then suddenly frowned and muttered: "Could it be her?"
In the evening, Ssangyong came back in a state of excitement. After drinking a pot of tea, he asked Fang Lang in confusion, "Why did brother let us please the owner?"
Fang Lang raised his eyebrows and said: "She is so beautiful, why are you still not willing to please you? How are the pastries? You didn't bring them back for me to try."
"Of course I brought it to you and Sister Yuzhi." Kou Zhong shrugged and took out the basket in his hand, "The owner of the beauty farm just now has expressed his gratitude to us, which shows that our skill in making pancakes is also unparalleled in the world. ah!"
He is still intoxicated with himself.
Song Yuzhi looked at the unattractive pastry and curled her lips, saying sarcastically: "What you made is too ugly." After saying that, she reached out to take one to taste, and then reluctantly said: "The taste is pretty good."
Fang Lang also tasted one. How should I put it, it was as good as the almond cake that is common in later generations, but Shuanglong was very creative and added many other things, similar to preserved fruits. Maybe he will be able to make egg tarts in the future?
He thought casually for a while, then looked at Shuanglong and said thoughtfully: "You guys should go back and take a bath, but it's so late and everyone on the ranch should have rested. I see there is a waterfall over there..."
Fall? The two boys who love playing in water looked at each other and were quite moved.
Song Yuzhi repeatedly reminded them not to forget their sense of propriety before leaving to rest.
Fang Lang leisurely followed Shuanglong. Although he roughly knew where Lu Miaozi was, he came to the door in such a swagger. He was worried that Lu Miaozi, who was always slippery and was best at running and hiding, would leave immediately.
Ssangyong is also a curious person. Encouraged by the night breeze and the silence of everything, he began to explore the farm.
They walked around, passed the waterfall and entered the Moon Cave Gate, and then they realized that there was a garden behind the courtyard. The best thing was that there was a winding corridor that extended into the garden, opening up the depth of field and causing the corridor to pass through the beautiful scenery of the garden. There is also a lotus pond on the left, with a small hexagonal pavilion built in the center of the pond, connected to the shore by a small bridge.
The moon appeared in the sky on the right, illuminating the quiet backyard with silver light, making the scenery extremely moving.
Shuanglong chuckled, looked back at the moon cave door, and joked: "It's so hidden, it can't be the place where the beauty owner meets his lover."
Fang Lang raised his eyebrows, these two boys were getting bolder and bolder.
But as soon as they turned around and looked at the scenery of this place, they couldn't help but become trance-like.
Kou Zhong looked up at the steep cliffs behind the garden. The old trees growing tenaciously between the rocks were winding and stretching out, dancing in the wind. He couldn't help but sigh: "This is the first time since my debut that I have the desire to retreat from the world. You know this place." How powerful the infection is.”
Xu Ziling shared the same feeling and said, "The person who built this inner fortress garden must be an expert in this field. Even Yang Guang's imperial garden does not have this kind of intoxicating feeling.
"
Lu Miaozi's method is indeed ingenious. Fang Lang stood on the top of the rockery, looking around, and felt a sense of seclusion and tranquility. "I wonder how Lu Miaozi's injury is?"
He was thinking about the possibility of helping him.
Through the corridors with endless bends on both sides, after passing through a bamboo forest, there was a sound of rushing water. It turned out that there was a square pavilion at the end, facing a cliff hundreds of feet high, and a waterfall cascading down the opposite cliff, which was very imposing. If it were not separated by the bamboo forest, the thundering sound of the waterfall would have been heard in the courtyard.
There is a gravel path on the left, connected to the square pavilion, extending along the edge of the cliff into the depths of the forest. Walking along the way, turning left and right, the view suddenly opened up in front of you. ..
